This doesn't seem like an act; it's a genuine change from the heart, meaning even his personality has changed.
However, she didn't think much of it and quickly followed.
The two arrived at the door one after the other and stood there for a long time.
"Hey, didn't you just say you were going to go? What are you standing there for?"
After waiting for a while without seeing Aozaki Touko make any move, the somewhat impatient Shining urged her.
With her glasses on, Aozaki Touko was no longer so domineering, but much gentler. She replied with some distress, "I was just thinking about my lines. I've never encountered anything like this before, so I don't know what to do."
In fact, there isn't much difference between Aozaki Touko's two personalities.
Because they share memories and similar life experiences, their thoughts are basically the same, only their personalities are slightly different.
If a distinction must be made, it would probably be the difference in human touch. One is the cold orange, with the personality of a traditional magician, arrogant and indifferent, while the other is more like an ordinary person, with a more approachable and gentle personality.
They also communicate with each other; they are not adversaries. Compared to typical dual personalities, they are more like good friends or besties, and more like having dual personalities than thinking about different personalities.
This is also one of the reasons that earned her the reputation of a genius.
Because their memories are shared and both can know each other's thoughts at any time, they are essentially one body with two souls, possessing two parallel consciousnesses. Therefore, their learning and research speeds are doubled.
Learning can complement each other's deficiencies, and research can mutually verify each other's findings. One person can accomplish what others might not be able to do even if they spend twice as much time.
However, Niang Shanshan was unaware of these things. She only felt that Aozaki Touko was much easier to talk to than before, and her tone was not as cold.
“However,” Saki Touko said, then suddenly looked at her mother, Shining, with some suspicion.
"You're being suspicious. Why do you want me to stop them? Could it be that you..."
"I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
When Niang Shanshan saw that things were not going well, she hurriedly denied it three times in a row.
Aozaki Touko, however, became even more skeptical: "Joan of Arc? I don't believe it!" (GIF of a news anchor)
"..."
Looking at Aozaki Touko's expression, Niang Shanshan wanted to slap herself.
She was also a little confused as to why she had suddenly panicked.
But none of this matters!
The important thing is to punish that despicable couple inside!
"You should mind your own business first, hmph."
After saying that, Niang Shanshan stepped back a little to avoid being questioned by Aozaki Touko about having ulterior motives.
How many times have I said this!
What bad intentions could a mere mother like her possibly have?!
She just wanted to have some fun!
Don't always think the worst of me!
Well, that’s right!
That's it!
absolute!
Niang Shanshan reminded (or convinced?) herself in her heart, calmed down, and watched Aozaki Touko's actions.

Chapter 74 almost provided a 'live report': Rune's foundation
However, Aozaki Touko has remained silent.
No, to be precise, she was still hesitating. She was about to make a move, but then inexplicably shrank back. Then she thought about it again and prepared to act, but then shrank back again, as if she were in some dangerous area, constantly testing the edge.
"Are you even capable of this? If you don't hurry up, it'll all be over inside." Mom complained helplessly.
Aozaki Touko was suddenly rebuffed. She abruptly took off her glasses, glared at her, and coldly replied, "What's it to you? If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself?"
"Tsk~ Although I'm a little annoyed, it's not easy to argue with me right now."
The mother turned her head away unhappily and said no more.
Talking about it too much makes it seem like she really has other ideas.
Being proud and aloof, she would never admit to such a thing, so she simply pretended not to hear Aozaki Touko's retort.
Aozaki Touko ignored her mother Gilgamesh and quietly put her glasses back on, reverting to her gentle personality.
This is very important.
Although she can now freely switch personalities without glasses, Ma En is unaware of this.
The glasses were a hint to Marne that she was now in a gentler state, which was important for the conversation to come.
She discovered that whenever she was in a gentle mood, Maren would also become much gentler and less domineering towards her; he was such a considerate guy.
Then Aozaki Touko mustered up her courage.
She went for it!
She was stopped by the door!
she……
She discovered that she couldn't break the seal on the door either...
Seeing that she had been lingering in front of the door for a long time, her mother, Shanshan, couldn't help but come over.
Then she noticed Aozaki Touko looking the door up and down, occasionally touching it from side to side. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Hey? You can't open this door either, can you?"
Without turning her head, Aozaki Touko said, "Don't bother me. I'm working on the solution, and I need to concentrate."
"Tsk~ I really can't do anything with you. I'll have to help you out."
So the two began to decipher the restrictions on the door.
After a while, just when the two were at their wits' end and Mother Gilgamesh was preparing to take out some anti-magic artifacts from the 'Golden Gate' to forcefully break through,
The door suddenly opened.
"What are you doing here?"
When Ma En opened the door, he was startled to see two suspicious-looking people.
"Yes, I was just passing by. She seems to have something to discuss with you."
Upon seeing that the door was open, Niang Shanshan calmly offered an explanation, then quietly stepped back a bit, switching to spectator mode. She glanced back and forth at Ma En and Aozaki Touko, before looking into the room.
Nero was sitting on the edge of the tatami mat, combing his hair. There was nothing else strange about it. The two of them were dressed neatly, and the items in the room were not messy. It was just that they didn't know what was under the blanket.
Niang Shanshan raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself what a pity. If Aozaki Touko hadn't hesitated for so long and wasted so much time, an hour would have passed in total, and they might have been able to get a 'live report', which would have been even more exciting.
Ma En also saw his mother's mischievous gaze and instantly understood that it was that troublemaker causing him trouble again.
only……
Ma En looked at Aozaki Touko with some confusion: "Touko, did you need something from me?"
Aozaki Touko looked a little awkward, and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Yes, I have something to tell you. Can you come here for a moment?"
Upon hearing this, Ma En immediately felt that these words sounded very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was exactly what Nero had said to him before!
I was even more confused. What was this big orange trying to do?
Are they going to attack him too?!
If so.
Should he accept it? Or enjoy it? Or should he passively accept it?
Just as Maren was lost in thought, Nero walked over, shoved him out, and then pulled Aozaki Touko inside.
“Perfect timing. I also have something I want to say to Chengzi. Let’s talk first. You don’t need to worry about it for now.”
Then, ignoring Aozaki Touko's struggles and Ma En being pushed outside the door, he slammed the door shut with a 'bang!'.
"..."
Ma En scratched his head, looking bewildered, and glanced at his mother, Shan Shan, standing to the side.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing?"
"..."
Which eye of yours saw me causing trouble?
Although it is indeed me, that is not a reason for you to doubt me without any basis!
Feeling that her credibility with Marx and Engels was almost gone, Niang Shanshan was immediately distressed.
It wasn't just because he was the first to be suspected, but also because he felt helpless that Nero had ruined his carefully planned "grand show".
···
Mother Shanshan simply gave up: "Hmph!"
She snorted coldly in displeasure, ignored Ma En, and turned to leave.
Only Marne remained, utterly bewildered.
However, he quickly came to his senses. Not yet knowing the truth of the prophecy, he felt a sense of urgency and hurriedly went to study.
As for what just happened?
All Marx and Engels could say was that Nero, though passionate and unrestrained, was a good girl; they couldn't say more, as those things didn't conform to the idea of 'civilization and harmony'.
Shaking his head to shake off the strange ripples of thought, Ma En focused on continuing to look at the documents.
These documents contain the theories related to the 'Runes' that Ma En has always wanted, but Aozaki Touko has refused to give them to him.

It is also one of the main reasons why Aozaki Touko was recognized as a Grand Magician. It is the experimental record and various evidence of how Aozaki Touko revived the 'Rune' base.
As one of the earliest mysteries mastered by magicians, knowledge related to 'runes' is undoubtedly of great value.
Moreover, this is not ordinary knowledge, not the kind that teaches people how to use 'runes', but rather the foundational knowledge, the most fundamental principles.
