Because he married Kujo Arika's mother, who was a Witch, Kujo Arika's father also passed away not long after her mother's death.

Perhaps because of this, or due to inheritance disputes, the current Kujonji Family Foundation has a very poor relationship with Kujo Arika. After all, Kujo Arika legally holds a portion of the Kujonji Family Foundation's inheritance rights.

Currently, these shares are managed by one of Kujo Arika's good-for-nothing uncles, and Kujo Arika, disliking worldly trivialities, has not gone to claim them.

In reality, Kujo Arika's appearance is not entirely Asian, as drawn by Koyama Hirokazu in the game's character art. Her mother was a descendant of Yumina, a Magician and Witch from Britain. Tracing her lineage, Alice's bloodline can be said to contain a significant amount of Celtic ancestry.

Therefore, even though Alice has pure black short hair that looks completely smooth and soft like high-grade silk, her facial structure is much more three-dimensional compared to a pure Eastern Islander.

In this regard, Aoko and Alice are somewhat similar. She once asked her nominal father about this, and he said that the Old Magician's wife (Aoko's grandmother) might have some European Magician blood... but she passed away too early for specifics, and he had never met his own mother.

The Aozaki Sisters' appearances can be said to combine the most exquisite parts of Europeans and East Asians. Their skin is not only fair but also delicate, and their facial features are not as flat as those of Eastern Islanders. Aoko is quite satisfied with this; even standing next to a beautiful girl like Alice, they each have their own charms and look quite well-matched.

Aoko believes that the reason her appearance, figure, and Magic talent are superior to the Aoko of the original timeline is not due to any European component in her bloodline, but rather some other reasons. The 'transmigrator' factor might be involved, but it's not the complete explanation. However, she is not in a hurry about this matter; she believes that one day she will uncover all the secrets about herself.

Aoko places great importance on Alice, her roommate. She secretly plans that once she achieves great success in her cultivation, she will find an opportunity to personally confront this 'uncle' and reclaim Alice's shares. Otherwise, what kind of situation is it for such a delicate 'fairy tale princess' to worry about her livelihood every day?

In daily life, Aoko stubbornly refers to Kujo Arika as 'Alice' rather than 'Alice.' This is because Aoko strongly dislikes the Japanese pronunciation of Alice's name, and Alice is not offended by this behavior. After all, she was born in Britain, not Japan, and even from a standpoint of identity, Alice probably has deeper feelings for Britain.

On her first day at Kujonji Mansion, Aoko conquered Alice's taste buds with an exquisite and elegant afternoon tea. She spent a fortune to buy the most authentic Lapsang Souchong tea, paired with carefully baked savory finger sandwiches, classic English scones with clotted cream and jam, and finally, a puff pastry as a dessert cake, bringing Alice the most authentic Low Tea of the old British Union Jack.

Such thoughtful service even made Alice, the landlady, feel a little embarrassed towards her new apprentice. Moreover, while she was enjoying the afternoon tea, she inwardly wondered who among her and Aoko was actually born in Britain.

Before Aoko arrived at Kujonji Mansion, Alice's daily meals were basically handled by high-end restaurant deliveries. She was completely clueless about cooking, and her refrigerator usually only contained fruits and drinks. Since she had no servants, most of the housework was done by the PLOY her mother left her.

Aside from the PLOYs designed purely for combat, Alice possesses many PLOYs that combine special functions with the ability to help her with housework. Even when she's bored, Robin will chat with her to pass the time, truly a paragon of the familiar world.

In the process of teaching Magic, Alice is undoubtedly a stricter teacher than the Old Magician of the Aozaki Family.

Aoko's grandfather was like a university professor; regardless of whether students learned or not, he would only maintain his own pace and advance the teaching schedule. Alice, on the other hand, is like the strictest high school teacher. She monitors Aoko's every step of progress and then meticulously sets various goals that exceed Aoko's current Magic level to push her to improve.

Aoko is not a novice in Magic, but because her energy is not entirely focused on it, Alice believes there are many areas where her Magic strength needs improvement.

Compared to the original Aozaki Aoko, the current Aoko, as a 'plus' version, has Magic Circuits that are both higher in quality and greater in number. This allows the current Aoko to perform and utilize various particularly complex Magic rituals.

However, like the original Aoko, her extremely high mana circulation efficiency allows her Magic Bullet Magic to achieve the highest level of rotation and output speed within her circuits, achieving destructive effects similar to a 'light cannon' or a 'Gatling gun.'

Touko and Alice hold considerable disdain for Aoko's barbaric method of using mana, but they also have to admit Aoko's talent for destruction and marvel at her destructive efficiency.

Aoko herself isn't boastful about her destructive talent, but she also doesn't underestimate herself. She knows very well that it is precisely the structure and characteristics of her Magic Circuits, along with her unique understanding of this tendency towards destruction, that allowed her to successfully stand out in the competition for the sisters' inheritance.

Sometimes life is like this. Aoko's unparalleled talent in efficiency and destruction did not make her indulge in it. On the contrary, Aoko believes that these are merely the basic hardware conditions for her to master the Fifth Magic. The parts that truly require her to devote all her efforts to learning and training are the otherworldly knowledge gifts brought by the fragment deeply hidden within her soul.

It is for this reason that Aoko diligently completed the study tasks Alice set for her in daily life, but she did not do anything extra beyond that. When learning and practicing Magic Web Arcane, she did not deliberately avoid Alice's gaze, but she also did not offer any superfluous explanations regarding this, as Magic Web Arcane does not need to adhere to the principle of non-proliferation of mysteries.

Both Aoko and Alice are very satisfied with each other. They live a cohabiting life in Kujonji Mansion that is both intimate and slightly distant. They spent two years in this comfortable interpersonal relationship, during which Aoko occasionally wrote many letters to Touko, who was at the Clock Tower.

Whether out of shyness or stubbornness, Touko's replies were few. But from the content of her letters, it seems she intends to make a move against one of the two people Aoko had warned her about ahead of time.

The reason for her action is that she is about to leave the Clock Tower, because Touko's recent research results are somewhat dangerous, and the people at the Clock Tower seem to want to propose a Sealing Designation for her, led by her teacher, Lord Barthomeloi.

Thinking that she was about to flee, Touko decided to strike first, eliminate an easy target, and then return to Japan to directly attack and beat up her annoying younger sister, rightfully reclaiming the family inheritance.
