Chapter 260

It seemed, perhaps, that there really was something extra in her heart.

That thing the Onmyoji said just now, about there being a shortcut to a woman's heart...

It couldn't be true!

Vermouth lay there for a while, wanting to turn over.

Just moving slightly, she couldn't help but gasp in pain.

She suddenly pounded the mattress angrily with her small fist, muttering: "Bastard, big bastard, how could he do such a thing..."

Vermouth suddenly froze.

She stared blankly at the bedroom door, a thought rising in her heart.

Even that kind of barrier could be pierced through...

Could he be the real Silver Bullet?

It started raining outside at some point.

Akaso Kaze looked out the window, lost in thought.

He had tried it just now; the time-travel magic couldn't be used casually.

Akaso Kaze had tried all the points in time he had experienced before.

From the case downstairs at Jodie's to the earliest roller coaster incident, there wasn't a single point in time he could return to.

Since that was the case, what could this specific point in time be?

Ring-a-ling.

His cell phone suddenly rang.

Akaso Kaze answered the call; it was Ran calling.

"Akaso-san, I, I'm at the school gate, I feel so unwell, I just asked the teacher for leave, can you come pick me up?"

Akaso Kaze stood up immediately and used a Gate of Space to arrive in the alley opposite Teitan High School.

Just as he walked out of the alley, he saw Mouri Ran leaning against the wall, looking like she was about to collapse.

"Ran? What's wrong?"

Akaso Kaze touched her forehead; she had a very high fever.

He picked her up, walked into the alley, opened a Gate of Space, and with one step, they were back home.

Akaso Kaze searched the space with prediction magic, took out a vial of medicine, and had Mouri Ran drink it.

He looked at the rooms on both sides, hesitated for a moment, and then carried Ran into Vermouth's room.

Vermouth was sitting in the bathtub, silently washing her body.

Her eyes were a bit vacant, not knowing what she was thinking about.

The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Akaso Kaze stood at the entrance.

"You, what are you doing?"

Vermouth was so scared she quickly shrank into the water.

Being this tense, a certain area began to ache faintly again.

Akaso Kaze curled his lip and walked in, carrying Mouri Ran.

"Ran has a fever, and since you have warm water ready, wash her up."

"Ran?"

Vermouth shrank to the side, watching Akaso Kaze help Mouri Ran take off her clothes and carry her into the water.

His movements were very gentle and careful, as if he were holding a piece of exquisite porcelain.

Vermouth didn't know why, but a wave of bitterness welled up in her heart.

You are so gentle and caring toward her, but to me, you were so rough...

She couldn't bear to watch anymore and pouted, saying: "I don't think you two have had a relationship yet, right? It's not appropriate for you to wash her; if you trust me, let me do it."

Akaso Kaze, of course, knew the relationship between Vermouth and Mouri Ran; he nodded, didn't say anything, and stood up to leave directly.

Akaso Kaze's trust actually surprised Vermouth; looking at the closed door, she couldn't help but be dazed.

After a moment, Vermouth began to wash Mouri Ran.

As she splashed water on Mouri Ran's body, she muttered: "Angels are truly lucky; they will always have gods to help them at any time."

She said somewhat dejectedly: "Why do the gods never favor me?"

Akaso Kaze lay on the bed, silently watching Vermouth bathe Mouri Ran, dry her off, and finally carry her to the bed.

Looking at Vermouth's staggering steps and her furrowed brows, he felt a bit sorry.

He had indeed been a bit rough today.

However, it seemed that a crack had opened in the Thousand-Faced Witch's shell.

As long as there is a crack, it's fine.

Chisel a little every day, and it will eventually open completely.

After bathing, Vermouth cuddled with Ran, and the two lay on the bed with their heads together.

She had also received a strong shock today and was physically and mentally exhausted, so she soon fell into a deep sleep, not even covering herself with the quilt.

Looking at the two bare women, big and small, Akaso Kaze couldn't help but purse his lips.

It really was a pleasing sight.

He used a Hand of Space to pull the quilt up and cover them.

Then he put his hands behind his head and watched their sleeping postures.

His heart was at peace.

In the darkness, Ran felt her consciousness becoming a bit blurry.

Perhaps because of the illness, it triggered memories buried deep in her heart, as if she had returned to a certain point in the past.

Waves of rain sounds beat against the sea of her heart, stirring up ripples.

"Does God really exist in this world?"

A woman's voice echoed in her mind.

However, who was the person who said this?

Mouri Ran thought with a frown.

"Who is that woman with the cold voice? Why would I remember what she said?"

"Rain, I feel the sound of the rain getting clearer and clearer."

Ran felt as if she had dug up something.

The sounds in her ears also seemed to be audible.

"Where would there be any gods?"

"Does God really exist in this world?"

"It is absolutely impossible for an angel to show me a sincere smile, absolutely impossible!"

"Sharon!"

Ran finally remembered.

That voice was heard in New York.

Akaso Kaze suddenly sat up.

He used his Eye of Space to stare intently at the small heads of Mouri Ran and Vermouth exposed outside the quilt.

Their souls were actually emerging from the tops of their heads at the same time.

What is going on?

Has some change occurred?

Akaso Kaze frowned slightly, watching the development of the situation.

The two souls seemed to attract each other, slowly approaching, and then reached out their small hands.

Finally, their hands touched.

At that moment, Akaso Kaze felt the space undergo an eerie change.

【Ding, specific point in time detected; casting Travel Through Time magic can enter.】

A specific point in time?

Akaso Kaze's eyes lit up, and he cast the space magic without hesitation.
