Chapter 973 [Observation] was specially cultivated.
【night.
Just as Morataya finished washing up, Yuna came over to tell her that the child had woken up.
She casually tied her hair up and went over to check on the situation.
Although he was awake, he still kept his eyes closed, leaning against the headboard with the blankets, his slightly long black hair hanging down casually, giving him a messy yet sophisticated look.
Morataya watched for a while before finally asking, "What's wrong with your eyes? Why won't you open them?"
The young boy paused for a moment, then seemed to want to say something but ultimately remained silent. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Morataya standing by the bed, his face expressionless.
Morataya glanced into his eyes, then suddenly froze.
The eyes that had been reflecting her image just a second ago suddenly became blurry and gray, and blood-red tears even overflowed from their sockets without warning.
Morataya: "...!"
"Close your eyes! Close them!"
She grabbed a handkerchief and used it to wipe away the boy's continuous stream of blood and tears.
The boy paused slightly before slowly closing his eyes, and the tears of blood stopped flowing.
Morataya sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
So that's what this special law is all about.
She casually tossed the handkerchief in her hand, when she suddenly heard the young boy say to her in a cold, indifferent voice, "Tomorrow, around 3:30 PM local time in the UK, pay attention to the due north direction."
Upon hearing this, Morataya paused for a moment while wiping her hands, then looked up at the boy thoughtfully, neither expressing doubt nor outright belief, "Okay, thank you."
She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a hint of curiosity, and said, "My name is Morataya, and yours is Morataya."
The boy paused for two seconds before answering, "Icarus."
Morataya nodded knowingly, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Wait a minute, is this your original name?"
"no."
This time, the boy answered quite quickly, explaining casually, "I didn't originally have a name; Mr. R gave it to me."
Morataya: "...What a coincidence."
She believed her godfather's statement that he was bringing someone back to keep her company.
The girl rubbed her temples and sighed helplessly, "I don't know where the Godfather has gone again. If you need anything, just come to me."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Try not to open your eyes. I'm afraid you might bleed to death even though you're not injured."
Icarus nodded.
Seeing that the child was quite well-behaved, Morataya nodded in satisfaction, got up, and left to return to her room.
Lying on the bed, she remembered Icarus's warning, and her eyes narrowed dangerously.
...
the next day.
Morataya came to the land of the British Empire for a rather troublesome mission.
It was exactly three o'clock.
She successfully completed the task at exactly 3:30, and was facing away from due north.
Because of Icarus's words, Morataya was already on guard, and almost as soon as she heard a faint whooshing sound behind her, she immediately dodged.
An arrow suddenly pierced the ground!
Those were no ordinary arrows, at least not the kind that ordinary humans would use.
It was covered in a cold, dark magical aura; if she hadn't been on guard, she might have been injured.
Morataya's expression turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes. She turned and quickly headed north.
She arrived a little too late; the other person had already disappeared.
Morataya sneered, "You think you can get away unscathed after attacking me? Do you think it's that easy?"
She clenched her fingers, and a witch's staff, taller than herself, appeared in her hand.
Liu Qingyao: "Wow! What's the difference between this and a fighting loli!"
Morataya: "?"
Ah, men.
Kazuha Toyama's eyes sparkled. "But he's so handsome!"
Morataya's lips curled slightly.
Good eye.
Using her scepter as a magical broom, Morataya sat atop it and followed the dark sorcerer's escape route.
The opponent seemed to be just a guy who had just become a dark mage and was not even good at hiding himself. He was easily caught up by Morataya.
But this guy, oblivious to the danger, actually came to assassinate her.
Morataya sneered, casting a Blood Curse and a Binding Curse on him. She sat cross-legged on her scepter, arms crossed, looking down at him with a haughty air. "You're quite bold."
The dark mage was unable to move at the moment. Looking at the little girl who was no more than five or six years old, a sense of fear rose in his heart, and this fear was revealed on his face.
A seasoned black magician said he would teach him black magic if he successfully wounded the sorceress. He agreed because he thought the other party was just a child, but he never expected that the child, who looked so young, would be so powerful.
"Knowing full well that dark mages and witches are also enemies, you still dare to rush up to me. Do you want to live too long?" Morataya sneered.
Before the dark mage could say anything, Morataya cast a silencing spell on him.
She jumped off the scepter, picked it up, and smashed it directly at him, venting her anger in the most direct way.
She stopped after smashing him until his face was black and blue, then elegantly tossed her hair and cast a "Life Decomposition Spell" on him—a spell that was both effective and permanent.
Seeing the black magicians turn into scattered stars in front of her, Morataya put away her scepter, took out a magic crystal, and teleported directly back to the island of worship.
Before uploading the task results, she went to Icarus's side, smiled broadly, and gave him a big hug. "Thanks again for reminding me~"
Then, she tilted her head, kissed the cool-looking young boy on the cheek, and happily left.
Icarus: "?"
Since that incident, Morataya has been very amiable towards Icarus.
Having spent several years at the experimental base, she developed a strong aversion to getting injured, especially passive injuries.
Liu Qingyao spoke in a particularly generous tone: "Because of this turning point in their relationship, the witch and the prophet lived happily ever after!"
Morataya, Icarus: "..."
Morataya was so angry her temples throbbed. "Liu Qingyao, shut up!"
Liu Qingyao scratched his head. "You've already said everything, so you don't need to shut up anymore, right?"
Morataya was speechless for a moment, then spoke slowly and deliberately: "Silence..."
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up. Just tone down your abilities." Liu Qingyao quickly made a zipping motion near her mouth.
Morataya gave a haughty snort.
...
A beautiful day begins with going out to bask in the sun.
"..."
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Morataya suddenly had a bad feeling. She turned around, faced the corridor, and waited for two seconds. Sure enough, she saw R's figure appear there, with two other figures beside him.
Morataya chuckled inwardly, but her eyes lit up when she saw the pure white wings on the backs of the two people.
"Has another very special individual been brought back?"
She spent a considerable amount of time with Icarus and successfully turned him into a member of the church.
So she had a new hobby: capturing special people and making them members of the church!
However, noticing the injuries on the pink-haired youth, she slightly composed herself, sat down to look at the two angels, and finally fixed her questioning gaze on R.
R smiled slightly.
Morataya discerned a piece of information:
As you can see, they've brought you back another "child".
"..."
Morataya smirked and looked at the two angels beside her. "Come with me."
R followed behind with a smile.
Liu Qingyao sighed, "The witch is gradually taking on the demeanor of a head of a household."
Morataya rolled her eyes wryly, then glanced back at R with a hint of resentment.
The latter smiled and gave her a look.
Kawakita Machi agreed, saying, "The Godfather was like a hands-off manager, not saying what needed to be said."
Morataya nodded repeatedly at this point.
...
As soon as Morataya came out from Icarus's side, she saw a figure wrapped in a white and gold cloak walking towards her.
She paused slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Just as she was about to step forward, R appeared in front of her.
Morataya asked in confusion, "Godfather?"
R glanced at her, stepped forward to the man, and a hint of genuine emotion appeared in her smile. "Sir."
Morataya blinked, stepped forward with a puzzled look, and called out, "Sir."
As she approached, she noticed that the "sir" was holding a child in his arms.
"..."
ha?
Morataya's lips twitched slightly. "Godfather...you didn't learn your habit of picking up children from the master, did you...?"
R's smile deepened. "Perhaps?"
As Morataya remained silent, she heard her husband's lazy voice say, "Let's go."
R nodded and followed him into the room.
Morataya followed behind out of curiosity.
Only after the man placed the child in his arms on the bed did she get a clear look at the child's face.
It looks familiar.
"This is...?" She looked at R with some surprise.
“This is the symbiote of your dear but disobedient younger brother.” R’s lips curled slightly, his eyes looking at Morataya with a half-smile.
"..." Morataya paused for two seconds, then looked at the man, "Sir, where did you find him?"
The man leaned back lazily in his chair, crossed his legs, and rested his chin on one hand. His voice, though usually cool and aloof, carried a deep sense of drowsiness. "I picked it up from the ground."
"..."
The man raised his hand and scratched his fingers, still lazily saying, "It's snowing outside. He was lying all alone in the snow, so I picked him up because I felt sorry for him."
Morataya: "...Really?"
"Xiao Mo, you're really suspicious," the gentleman said jokingly.
Morataya choked up.
Who is Xiao Mo? It sounds like you're calling a cat.
"Alright, I'm leaving. You're in charge of taking care of this child, R." After saying that, the man disappeared on the spot.
Morataya: ...It's confirmed, the Godfather really did learn some of his habits from the Master.
"good."
Even though the other person was gone, R still responded with a smile.
Morataya blinked, her gaze shifting to the young boy's face. "Is he special too?"
R chuckled. "Otherwise, how could we become symbiotes with your beloved but disobedient brother who possesses witch genes?"
"Godfather!" Morataya exclaimed, enraged.
R chuckled softly.
Only in front of R did Morataya display the adorable and innocent demeanor expected of a normal girl. She pouted in dissatisfaction and then pressed on, "So, if he were an ordinary person, it would be difficult for him to become a symbiotic entity with someone who possesses witch genes?"
“It’s not just difficult, it’s simply impossible.” R sat down in the chair where the gentleman had just been sitting, and a cup of steaming black tea appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Morataya pondered, "Could it be that even a true sorcerer could easily form a symbiotic relationship with him?"
R took a sip of black tea and smiled, "You'd better not get too close to him."
"Why?" Morataya was taken aback and looked at the young man in confusion.
R smiled meaningfully, "Don't forget, the genes in his body are yours."
"..."
Morataya understood.
Number 0 is her clone, containing her genes, and Number 0 and this boy are symbiotes. Furthermore, because the organization's experiments were similarly unique, even though they weren't from the same person, they shared the same genes, making it easy for them to influence her.
She frowned and murmured, "So what exactly is the purpose of that organization..."
Suppressing these thoughts, Morataya pointed to the young boy on the bed and asked, "But isn't he human?"
"Yes, but he was specially trained by them."
Upon hearing this, Morataya fell silent.
"Alright, you can leave now. I'll check him out." R said gently, urging him to leave.
"……good."
Morataya nodded and left the room.
"Hiss." Liu Qingyao gasped. "Death's conspiracy is truly terrifying."
"So what exactly is their purpose?" Sato Miwako frowned and replied in a deep voice.
"At this point, we can only guess that it's to satisfy their own desires," Matsuda Jinpei said, resting his head on his hand.
"Perhaps it's not just about satisfying their own desires," Qianzhu whispered, stroking the head of the restless-sleeping Behringer.
Everyone fell silent.
This problem is extremely brain-taxing.
Sekter muttered to himself, "Is their ambition even greater than our organization's?"
Karasuma Renya pondered deeply.
Hmm, how can it not be?
...
Because Xiaoqian unexpectedly appeared on the island, Morataya took the time to investigate the situation of Number 0, but she did not appear, and only briefly inquired about their current situation.
After learning that Number 0 was "dependent on a magician," they stopped paying attention.
The blonde girl sat on the railing of the corridor, staring at the dark-haired boy being led by R, as if observing him.
The boy was also perceptive; noticing someone watching him, he turned around and glanced at her. When he saw Morataya, he smiled slightly at her.
Morataya paused, then jumped off the fence and ran towards them. Under R's watchful eye, she grabbed Chihiro's hand.
"Godfather, I'll show him around. You go and do your work."
Even though you have absolutely nothing to do.
The little girl was seriously complaining to herself.
R smiled and released Xiaoqian's hand, letting her go. "Okay."
Watching the young man's departing figure, Morataya looked at Chihiro and said, "Let's go."
