Chapter 104 The Sense Of Betrayal From Asakawa Aki
"You can touch it with your hand," Kirigiri Shimizu's right eye emitted a golden light, looking calmly at Asakawa Aki. The Tyrant's Eye was a skillful technique, with excellent visual effects that would awe ordinary people.
Asakawa Aki was indeed awestruck. She opened her mouth, and as the stinging sensation in her eyes eased, she looked through her sunglasses at Kirigiri Shimizu's eyes.
Undoubtedly, the golden light was radiating from her eyes. Asakawa Aki herself was a university professor with a deeper understanding of the human body structure than ordinary people.
It was precisely because of this that she didn't need to actually reach out to touch it to know that the eyes of this mysterious woman were real, and the phenomenon of emitting light was definitely not something a human could achieve.
"Next is the real battle," Kirigiri Shimizu's voice was cold, her expression serious. These chuunibyou lines came out of her mouth without any sense of absurdity.
Asakawa Aki was observing her eyes. Upon hearing about demonstrating power, she immediately recalled the liberation spell she had just used, "Reality be rent. Synapse break. Banishment, this world!"
In the end, she suddenly felt unwell. As a teacher, she often spends time with students and learns about various things through her senses.
She quickly interrupted, "Wait, Miss Shimizu, please control your magical powers. I trust you."
She wasn't sure if it was dangerous or not, but if something went wrong and things got out of control, she could get into trouble. Asakawa Aki made a decisive choice and chose to believe in it.
"Yes," Kirigiri Shimizu nodded. When the spell's effect ended, her eyes returned to normal, as if the light had never appeared.
She also asked Komachi Kurenai to prepare some visual effects, but they were no longer necessary.
"Sorry, I need some time to calm down..." Asakawa Aki covered her forehead with her hands, reached under the table, and secretly pinched her thigh. There was pain, but it wasn't a dream.
Although Asakawa Aki is curious about the existence of superpowers in this world, she keeps them at a distance. She is not a teenager anymore. She is content with her current life and does not want something beyond her comprehension to appear and disrupt the status quo.
She secretly sized up Kirigiri Shimizu, beautiful and ethereal, clearly not an ordinary person. It didn't make sense for her to fabricate such a lie to deceive her.
Therefore, the probability of supernatural abilities being true is high. However, Asakawa Aki didn't believe for a moment that she was Li Xia's mother. Even if it was about supernatural abilities, there were basic laws.
Putting aside the issue of age, Li Xia is a pure Yan Nation person. She watched Li Xia grow up, and Li Xia's biological mother is her foster sister. After years of care, she had long considered her as a real sister. How could she doubt her just because a strange woman suddenly appeared?
"Miss Shimizu, I believe you is Li Xia's biological mother," Asakawa Aki organized her words while trying to find a way to ask about her true purpose.
Does she think she can make her believe such an absurd lie with just a few words? Does she really think Asakawa Aki is a fool? Still, she asks, "Did you find me today for something important?"
"Yes," Kirigiri Shimizu opened her eyes and looked at Asakawa Aki. "As a mother, I hope he can be with the person he likes."
"Who do you think Li Xia likes?" Asakawa Aki's face showed no expression, but inside, she was beginning to smirk. This woman had been circling around for so long, and she was finally about to reveal her true intention.
"Asakawa Aki," Kirigiri Shimizu uttered this name, her gaze fixed on Asakawa Aki.
Asakawa Aki's expression froze, her mind went blank. After confirming that she hadn't misheard, she pointed at herself, her expression changing from calm to puzzled.
"At the time of his birth, due to some reasons, I failed to fulfill my duties as a mother," Kirigiri Shimizu's voice was very calm, as if she was recounting someone else's story.
But her temperament was always cold and stern, it didn't seem out of place. Every word of hers was clearly conveyed to Asakawa Aki's ears: "So I want to give him more love and encouragement, don't be like me, do not fall in love with someone you shouldn't, and leave behind doubts."
After finishing, Kirigiri Shimizu lifted her head and looked directly into Asakawa Aki's eyes: "I support you being with him, and I will do everything I can to help you."
"I'm not, I didn't, don't make things up." Asakawa Aki couldn't stay calm anymore, her face turned red, and she quickly waved her hands to deny it, creating a sharp contrast to her mature and charming image.
"I have a similar experience as you." Kirigiri Shimizu finished speaking and didn't say anything else, instead, she closed her eyes as if waiting for Asakawa Aki's response.
*Gulp* Asakawa Aki swallowed saliva, looking at Kirigiri Shimizu, who had a demeanor that didn't seem like an ordinary person, her mind was in chaos.
She wasn't an ordinary person, looking young but actually in her forties, this setting didn't seem that unbelievable.
In fact, upon closer examination, not everything she said was necessarily lies. Once accepting this setting, it wouldn't be too difficult to accept that, due to some special reasons, Li Xia was left in Yan Nation.
And if what she said was true, that she had a similar experience, then her sudden appearance actually made sense.
No way, she and Li Xia's mom have been good friends for over ten years. How could she believe in a sudden emergence of a stranger woman?
If what she said is true, wouldn't she be preventing a mother and son from reuniting?
If what she said is false, then what's the point of fabricating this lie? Is it some kind of special sexual preference? It's hard to think of any other reasons.
After analyzing it, Asakawa Aki felt that she might be telling the truth. Only this explanation could make sense of everything. It couldn't be without any purpose, putting so much effort into all this, and it's not the master's task.
Kirigiri Shimizu didn't urge her to speak, just sat quietly in place, watching Asakawa Aki lost in thought.
Just like the information she had collected, Asakawa Aki appeared mature and charming on the outside, presenting herself as strong-willed and assertive in front of colleagues and students.
But the real her is indecisive, unable to make any firm decisions, always passive in the end, especially in matters of emotions. Clearly liking someone, yet having all sorts of concerns, hesitating, wanting to let go, yet reluctant to do so.
This is related to her single-parent family, growing up alone from a young age, without anyone by her side, so she was educated to be mature and strong from a young age. In fact, she is a girl who hopes to have someone to rely on, which is why she has such a contradictory personality.
Reflecting on it, this is probably why she is attracted to Li Xia. Li Xia is the complete opposite of her, appearing easygoing but actually very opinionated, persisting in what she believes is right.
Being around Li Xia makes her feel dependent, but the age gap between them is significant. Asakawa Aki was taught from a young age to take care of Li Xia as her younger nephew.
This sense of betrayal and inner conflict makes her subconsciously avoid facing her own feelings.
All of this was part of Kirigiri Shimizu plan. The second task in the system is to make Li Xia fall in love, and she had intended to do it herself.
A motherly love complex, if handled properly, presents both significant risks and rewards.
But things always have unexpected turns. Lately, Li Xia has been getting close to that ghoul. From the perspective of completing the task, the situation could still lead to mission accomplishment.
Kirigiri Shimizu, however, does not want Li Xia to be with Akane, not because she is a ghoul, but because it would make the plan uncontrollable.
This is how she convinces herself. It's absolutely not because she takes her mother's position and doesn't like Akane.
