⠀
Or maybe that solution was only capable to be done by herself, and required magecraft knowledge.
“ You need not worry about me, or us, we don't have a lot of time left to accomplish long goals and what not. ”
⠀
⠀
“ I may have mispoke; I already solved it for us. I don't intend to meddle with the Ryougi's and their little experiment. ”
In other words, she solved the issue within herself, but, had no plans of furthering the solution outwards.
⠀
⠀
She'd tap her skull with a resigned frown, as she'd shrug, she... she clearly had displeasure in her other half.
“ I am not irregular however, I made a very quick decision call to ensure that particular curse of our family doesn't bite me. ”
⠀
⠀
“ I'm sure Aunty Shiki was still somewhat irregular back then, we Ryougi share that annoying trait.
Right now, you are conversing with the Feminine side, but, my brother is distinctively an almost mindless chimpanzee. ”
She sighed in annoyance.
“I've been reduced to mentor status, huh? And it'll continue down with the Ryougi bloodline. Heh.”
“You already seem to be easier to talk to than Shiki. She'd cooperate on missions, but it was always complete silence or me being ignored.”
⠀
“ Or perhaps our guidance councilor for our young. ”
She chuckled, she had heard that her Aunt was slightly troublesome when younger but..m she really couldn't imagine her being anything but regal and rather stoic if she's being honest.
⠀
⠀
“ Perhaps you are simply destined to be our guardian angel, or devil. ”
Koi would say with a nod almost as if in amusement to such a fate, there were worse destinies to have truly. They were rather well-behaved, at least... objectively compared to magi.
⠀
⠀
To her, this was many many many years ago when she was just a baby let alone a kid. A smile was trying to crawl unto her face when remembering Shiki, the most beautiful woman she's ever laid eyes on.
“ We owe you a debt, in this world or the next is all. ”
⠀
⠀
“ My entire story is one huge web of nonsensical occurrences, I have the 【 Planet 】and a 𝘞𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 for that.
But, yes, I know of you due to story's told of you by Aunt Shiki and her Husband. ”
She slowly gained... vibrancy.
⠀
“'Many Worlds Interpretation'...”
She suddenly halts her work on the puppet, setting the surgical instruments aside.
“And not only that, Shiki's an aunt? First a mom, now an aunt, AND you're from a dying family line? It's just one surprise after another.”
⠀
“ The Rezawalt Conglomerate has essentially died out, I am the last Heiress to it's lineage and I won't be making children.
As for the Ryougi name, I may not be it in 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 world but my father is Kaname Ryougi. ”
Shiki's brother.
⠀
⠀
“ . . . Koi Ryougi Rezawalt. ”
She had stated whilst hesitating on the middle part, but, she doubted it'd matter in the grand scheme of things. Touko wasn't a known blabber, and, that particular family wasn't one to be bothered.
⠀
Touko, deeply focused on her work, took a moment to gather her thoughts before giving a nod to the other's interpretation of her idea of "old".
“I just realized that we've probably haven't even exchanged names properly. You know mine, but I don't think I know yours.”
⠀
“ ' Old ' for you just means tired and over it all yes? You'd never allow yourself to age so ungracefully, that'd be more effort for you then just staying the way you are now.
Still, I agree, modern ' dating ' is an affair, to be sure, an expensive one. ”
⠀
⠀
“ Not even in the next life Touko-san, I think it'd be more plausible for me to get with the louder sister then us ever becoming this weird union.
I dread both possibilities and pray there is no universe where such happens. ”
⠀
⠀
“ That is... an interesting opinion on people to be sure, one I do not currently share. ” 💧
She'd say whilst she'd wave her hand nervously, this was definitely not the way this conversation should've ended up.
⠀
⠀
Even if Touko could definitely be sure that she didn't have a long lost sister or relative, or well, Koi's eyes... were red, brighter than Touko's. So maybe she couldn't count that out?
It'd be a weird family reunion, clearly.
⠀
⠀
“ 𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙩. ”
The rather stoic and doll-like facial features upon her face twisted into something of concern and slight apprehension; it came out so quick anyone would be offended honestly.
⠀
⠀
“ Your connection with... people I know would make that relationship immoral and rather frowned upon.
By normal, well-adjusted, people who live in the 21st century. ”
It was an odd thing to say, it almost felt familial.
⠀
⠀
“ No, I'm just teasing. My love life consist of literally nothing, I don't really have those emotions anymore, so seeing people squander them is slightly upsetting.
Still, wishing for a ' normal ' bloke is rather bold, sure you won't scare them off? ”
⠀
⠀
Koi would coo, almost as if she found something amusing, her face even changed.
“ So Touko-san would like someone outside the loop of out world? Now that's rather unexpected, who influenced you to be so romantical. ”
She chuckled.
⠀
⠀
“ Yes, you do indeed talk ' self-love ' to heights even Narcissus would envy, that shouldn't stop you from mingling at least.
I suppose you would need someone just as odd, perhaps I could find a suitor where off people are: Atlas, probably. ”
⠀
“Just relax. Even then, I'm not exactly the "dating" type for anyone, let alone my own creations. The only ones that I even deem worth my love are my spare bodies.”
