Far East.
"Due to the temporary armed turmoil carried out by terrorists in the Cornwall area, it has been completely blocked by the government. Her Royal Highness has issued a statement stating that she will not send any extremists..."
"Crack."
Tohsaka Tokiomi turned off the news on the TV, picked up two newspapers behind his back, and threw away the one that said the militant turmoil was printed on it, and then looked at the other news newspaper from the inner world and A letter interspersed with it——
He sighed slightly, took a sip of the cold coffee on the table, quickly glanced at the unimportant things on the back with his lowered eyes, and then looked at the front, the headline on the front page and the sub-page respectively indicated The Cornwall riots and the outcome of the discussions on the decision to crown, and the church's century-long gap, once again hit the headlines as a collaborator.
"Looking at you, it's a matter of the Magic Association, right?"
A gentle voice came from behind him, and a pair of slender and warm catkins gently touched his shoulders and kneaded them for him.
"Xiao Rin is asleep?" Feeling the softness, Tosaka Tokiomi put down the newspaper, pressed the hand on his shoulder with one hand, turned his head, and a trace of tenderness finally flashed on the tired face.
"Well, don't you want to take a look?" The wife gently picked up the letter he threw on the table. The gold-rimmed belief and the complicated and mysterious seal all highlighted that the letter came from a certain power. Or the existence of large forces.
"The letter from the Magic Association, at this time, can only recruit magicians?" Hearing this, Tohsaka Tokiomi chuckled helplessly: "The dead disciples in Europe seem to be gaining momentum. The Far East that I manage...is probably half good news."
"What about you, aren't you going to the battlefield?"
"...I should have gone." Hearing this, Tosaka Tokiomi was slightly taken aback, shook his head lightly and said, "Whether it is as the head of the Tosaka family or as a manager of the Magic Association."
"But..." Tosaka Tokiomi hesitated for a while, looked at his wife's slightly swollen belly again, and was silent for a moment: "I will reply a letter to the Magic Association and tell them that as the management of the Far Eastern Land Or, I can't leave here at will, but I will provide some financial assistance, and temporarily provide 80.00% of the Tohsaka family's patent fees to the Magic Association, so that it can be regarded as maintaining the honor of the family."
"If you need to go, then please don't think about me." Hearing this, Aoi sat next to Tokiomi and shook her head lightly: "I understand the mission of being a magician, so... as a wife, Probably the only thing I can do is support you."
"... Aoi, go and rest." Tosaka Tokiomi smiled, picked up the envelope and said, "It's not just because of you that I'm not going. What's going to happen in the city..."
At this moment, a ruby ring on Tosaka Tokiomi's hand suddenly flickered slightly, which meant that someone had triggered the magic alarm of the Tosaka family!
Seeing this, he suddenly grabbed the scepter at the side, and when he gracefully blocked Aoi behind him like a fencer, he saw outside the window, a blue mockingbird holding a gorgeous envelope in its mouth. late...
That familiar...he knew it. It was the administrator of another city who visited him a few months ago, Aoko Aozaki's companion, and the familiar of the witch "Alice".
While this made Tohsaka Tokiomi heaved a sigh of relief, a question immediately swirled from the bottom of his heart—the blue robin flew in from the window, and after handing the envelope to Tohsaka Tokiomi, did he not forget? He gracefully performed a knight salute before turning around and leaving.
"Wait a moment."
"Gah?"
"...May I ask, did Your Excellency Alice not ask you to bring anything?"
"Huh? No, it's just that the master will visit Fuyuki City again in the near future, but due to special circumstances, he may not be able to visit the Tohsaka house in time, so I would like to present a letter..."
"Then do you know... what it is?" Hearing this, Tosaka Tokiomi looked at the letter in his hand, feeling more uneasy, because it was not a personal envelope, but the one with the Magic Association. Like a letter, it is full of official gold thread borders, and the magic seal of the Kuonji family is also printed on it. Even the engravings, in addition to Alice's ink pad, are actually engraved with a logo of the Magic Association and a sign of his own. Unknown family crest symbol! !
"Those are all in the letter." Hearing Tosaka Tokiomi's words, the robin quickly shook his head and said, "I'm only in charge of delivering the letter. As for what it is, just ask your Excellency to read the letter yourself."
"...Okay." Seeing this, Tosaka Tokiomi didn't want to ask any more questions, and could only slightly reply: "Then, please send my regards to Your Excellency Alice."
"Yes, then, goodbye Ga!"
The blue robin returned the same way, but Tosaka Tokiomi was lost in thought while looking at the envelope in his hand. Aoi Tohsaka, seeing her husband's appearance like this, silently did not get curious or disturbed, but gently He turned around and walked up the stairs, leaving him space to think alone.
For her, her ancestors belonged to a family of magic, and she clearly understands all the hardships and hardships that Tohsaka Tokiomi has borne, and therefore, she who understands and loves Tohsaka Tokiomi knows very well what the only thing she can do is, That is support and non-interference.
Tohsaka Tokiomi sat down again. Since the letter was addressed to him by the name of Alice, it seemed that no matter how much hesitation he couldn't refuse it, he might as well read the content first before considering countermeasures.
Calling Kuonji Yuzu Alice is not a unique title, but when the entire magic world calls this witch, they will habitually call each other with a Western accent to express respect, and Alice's Japanese pronunciation, Only when translated can it be Youzhu.
However, Kuonji Yuzu himself quite dislikes this title, and even expresses serious dissatisfaction when Rimuru calls her Alice with a Western accent. Calling Alice with respect from a distance has become her default unspoken rule.
As for the surname Jiuyuanji, because of the disagreement with the Jiuyuanji Group in recent years, it seems that only those young ladies who can be heard calling them so in the watch world.
Ten minutes later, Tosaka Tokiomi, who had read the entire letter, rubbed his forehead wearily—the content of the letter was very limited, and he just expressed his apology for not being able to visit in person when he was about to enter the territory under his management again without authorization.
Even the reason for the visit was somewhat vague, only stating that it was related to the Matou family, but not fully explaining the reason.
But he couldn't refuse, because... In addition to the opening apology and explanation, there is also a letter from the Magic Association that has passed the certification and granted compulsory investigation authority. Because of something, at least it has been approved by the Magic Association in terms of process.
As a member of the Magic Association, Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't seem to have any reason to refuse.
Moreover, the content of this letter solved one of the doubts in his heart very well, that is whose strange engraving on the envelope belonged to.
"The Tempest family... the fairy tale witch and... the fairy tale lord?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi leaned on the sofa, looked at the coffee in front of him, and thought... this matter seems to be related to the Matou family, should you... inform?
……
Just when everyone started to act on Ruoda's world map, Limulu opened her mouth comfortably, biting the bright red grape that Lidal handed over, lying on the comfortable hospital bed , Looking at the sweeping skyline scenery outside the window, I feel a little emotional.
As expected of a rich lady named Lidell who started her fortune from coal, because the teleportation technology, that is, the spirit transfer facility has not yet been completed, and the distance between London and Cornwall is not too far, Liddell learned that Kenneth When planning to use rapid transportation to send Limulu back to the country, without a word, a phone call directly listed this matter as the highest priority administrative order of the military. Under the direct activation of more than a dozen fighter jets and special transport aircraft, even Kenneth They couldn't help but raised their eyebrows and were a little dazed.
"The Achélot family really fucked with the British military?!"
"It's not meddling, it's just a little friendship." Hearing this, Lidal picked up a grape and stuffed it into Limulu's mouth again, raised her eyebrows and said: "The annual military expenses of the Achelot family can probably be paid One-third? About the same."
"By the way, why can't I go together?" She pouted angrily. Since the first kiss with Limuru was strongly stopped by Elaire, although the two of them hadn't made any outrageous actions, but Apparently that layer of window paper seems to have been punctured in half, and Lidel has increasingly regarded her as Limuru's lover, so she will do some rather cute behaviors.
"...Well." Limulu glanced at the scenery outside the plane speechlessly, and said helplessly, "You have to cover it up for me in the clock tower, after all, although I can leave a part of my body to prevent the probing technique, I will not Just fake me."
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the extermination operation that will be used to wipe the ass later."
The two didn't care about Kenneth next door. After all, due to the relationship between the two, even if the sound insulation enchantment was applied, Kenneth would not be suspicious. Although Kenneth felt that it was impossible to do such a thing in such a state of physical breakdown, But he didn't say anything out of respect.
"Ang... that..." Limulu blinked, and for a while, he couldn't think of a reason... "Didn't I think you would always be unable to spare your hands on the battlefield?"
Due to the need to use the permission and certificate of the Magic Association, although Limulu himself can submit materials and certificates to pass quickly, but during the war, the speed of the legal affairs department obviously did not satisfy Limulu, so he directly asked Lidel He performed privileged services, but since he used the privileges, he couldn't hide it from Lidelle who was in charge... Although he didn't want to hide it, he didn't expect...
"Huh?" Lidal narrowed her eyes suspiciously, her delicate face approached Limulu's face, and said suspiciously: "You really didn't want to get along with Youzhu alone?"
"...I'm going to do business, okay?" Limulu couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you always so sensitive to Youzhu! Because you have been fighting with me since you were a child..."
"Ang...Okay." Lidal glanced around dissatisfiedly, and suddenly she was slightly taken aback, realizing that this seemed to be a...good opportunity?
Thinking of this, she suddenly stared at Limulu's small face, and met his golden eyes seriously...
"Gulu... what do you want...?" Lidel, who was approaching slowly by Limuru, and her blushing face suddenly realized something, and said blankly: "Do I need... to close my eyes? "
"Pfft!" Lidal snorted, amused by Limuru's flustered appearance, and said viciously, "Then shut it up!"
Chapter 069, The First Conspiracy with Director Kenneth (5000 words)
After hearing this, Limuru actually blinked, and closed her eyes obediently, which made Lidel slightly relieved, and at the same time, the shyness in her heart and the hotness on her face also slightly faded , she slowly bent down, as if she could feel a little breath in Limulu's breath.
Lidel slowly closed her eyes, and the next moment, boom!
The whole plane shook for a while, and Lidal suddenly raised her body and looked at the next door. When she burst into anger, she felt a small hand caressing her face, and she turned slightly——
Well! !
The soft and warm breath came up suddenly, and Lidal opened her eyes wide and looked at Limuru who forcefully imprinted a smile in front of her. Wei Wei touched the tip of her nose, and said softly: "I've been looking forward to it for a long time, how can I give up halfway."
"You...you..." Lidal blushed, looked into Limuru's eyes in a daze, and suddenly pressed his head in dissatisfaction and said viciously: "Obviously I should be the one who attacked, right!! "
"Then you're here this time?" Limulu tilted her head, licked her lips and said, "Your lipstick today...smells pretty good."
Limulu said that she wanted to do it again and blinked, which made Lidel's face turn even redder!After turning his head awkwardly...
Boom, the plane shook again, and the cabin door next door also began to hum like being torn apart by a huge force—this made Limuru sigh. Under such circumstances, the shy Lidal obviously couldn't adjust. Back to the state of mind just now.
At this moment, finally, with a bang, the cabin door finally burst, and a jet-black shadow crawled out of the gap in an instant, and the silver sharp blade rushed towards the two of them with a slamming sound. Annoyed at the interruption, when he was about to make a move, Limulu gently embraced him, stopped him and said softly, "Do you have to use this way to appear on stage?"
The attacking sharp blade stopped abruptly at a distance of one centimeter from Limuru's neck, and at this moment, Lidel finally saw the true face of the attacker. It was a spider-like leg with eight sharp blades. The automatic doll——I saw that its body was engraved with magic veins like magic circuits, and the dense strengthening techniques made Lidale have no doubt that it was a top-notch murderous weapon.
"Your perception is as terrifying as ever." Hearing this, a slightly ferocious head appeared under the automatic doll, and when it was slowly combined, it became more rounded, and finally became the head of Cang Qicheng: "I haven't seen you in seven years." Well, Rimuru."
"So? Are you here to avenge the crime I planted in my hands seven years ago?" Limuru narrowed her eyes, Lidel's ears were red, and she struggled to get out of his arms, and then walked to the In front of the half-shattered hatch, he pressed a few buttons with a cold face, and the hatch opened immediately, and Kenneth next door slowly walked in with a dark face.
"You didn't stop an automaton?!" Lidal was obviously dissatisfied.
"That's not an ordinary automaton, Archelot." Kenneth's face was not very good, but he still explained: "What's more, it destroyed the cabin of the plane, and my dress needs to make up for the hole."
He staggered his body, revealing the part of the plane repaired by the moon marrow spiritual fluid... Since it is a military transport plane, the cabin is connected to the cockpit except for the place where Limuru stays. In other words, if he leaves it damaged Regardless of the location, the suction force generated by the air pressure is enough to pull the driver out!
He Kenneth is a genius, but he can't fly a plane!
"It seems that I ruined your good deed?" Seeing Limuru who was indifferent and not afraid of her attack at all, Aoqi Chengzi withdrew his sharp blade boredly, slowly crawled aside and said with a sneer: "It seems It's not bad...I repeat, I fell into the hands of that damned witch, not you and my stupid sister."
"We don't have time to listen to your reminiscences, so why are you here?" Lidale asked angrily.
"I remember that Your Excellency Aozaki Chengzi should be on the battlefield now... right?" In addition, Kenneth also said in a bad tone, which made Limuru a little surprised.
The two people who have never confronted each other have reached an agreement on their attitude at this moment... Aoqi Chengzi, how bad is your popularity?
"Tsk, since I appear here, of course it means that my body has been sacrificed heroically." Aoqi Chengzi replied without any surprise, and then added: "But that guy must not feel well."
"Then can't you wait for us in London?" Lidal interrupted dissatisfiedly, now it's a bit of a headache how to explain to the military when the time comes, money is a small problem, the key is the mysterious cover-up and the reason why the plane became like this.
"I can't set foot on London again, Patriarch Archelot." Aozaki Touko shook his head and said, "The championship decision is over. Before the seal designation is lifted, I will only ask for trouble if I set foot on London."
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore, Limuru, I heard that you were attacked by one of the 27 ancestors' primate killers?" Canozaki Orange looked at Limuru lying on the hospital bed and his weak He smiled slightly and said, "As for the other party's ability, I once knew part of it. It can make the body function with the primate concept produce the concept of death..."
"In other words, it kills the bodily functions. The moment you are attacked by it, your body is already "dead". Limuru, no matter how high your magic power is, it's just delaying your death. "
"So?" Limulu asked lightly after hearing the words.
"A dead body cannot be healed, even in the clock tower, but I can provide you with a brand new body..."
"It's a pity that you don't want to be a salesman." Limulu laughed a little: "Everyone knows how expensive Aoqi Chengzi's dolls are, not to mention that we used to have grievances?"
"The price is very simple, Limuru." Who knows, after hearing this, Aoqi Chengzi slowly shook his head and said, "If I didn't trust the usual style of the Magic Association, I could even give it to you for nothing."
"Oh? The style of the Magic Association?" Limuru suddenly laughed: "Let me guess, you haven't completed the task of ascertaining information, so they don't plan to unseal you?"
"At least I found out the existence of the 27th Ancestor Puppeteer for them, and even helped them solve this problem, okay?" Aoqi Chengzi's puppet narrowed its eyes dissatisfied: "The answer of those old guys is After the war, the relevant parliamentary application will be opened for me, but the subtext is obviously that if it is not passed..."
"Having said that, you should also know that the designated seal of the Magic Association is just a name for an existence like you." Limulu shook his head and said, "If you want me to help you push the council If you pass, I think you really overestimated me."
"Really? Just based on the scene I saw when I first came in." Aozaki Touko looked at Lidel, and pointedly said: "Obviously, not."
These words made Lidal's cold face turn red again.
"It is true that the designated executors of the seal chose to turn a blind eye to most of my designated seals, and I do not reject this title, but obviously, it has also brought me a lot of trouble, for example, I cannot enter the Clock Tower or even set foot in London. This kind of restriction, at our level, Limuru, you should know how precious the knowledge we need is, and it would be too much of a headache for me to rely on stealing every time."
"Heh, you really dare to say it, Your Excellency Canozaki Chengzi." Kenneth narrowed his eyes, and said sarcastically, "Just because of your behavior of stealing knowledge, you can bear the judgment of being sealed again. "
"Ang?" Aoqi Chengzi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly looked like Limulu was a little bit surprised: "I thought he was yours?"
"I hope so too." Limulu raised his eyebrows and said, "Obviously, you already have a staunch opponent."
"Out of cooperation and friendship with Professor Limulu, I will not use your long-term stealing of knowledge from the Clock Tower as a reason for attack." Kenneth said lightly: "But from my position, I'm sorry. "
"It's really a headache." Aoqi Chengzi glanced out the window, as if she realized that she was almost at her destination, and she didn't care about it anymore, but said: "Don't worry about it so much, Limuru, are you sure?" Do you really need my help?"
"You don't need to worry about what I will do to your doll. I will sell you the doll. In addition to the things specified by the seal, I don't want you to die because of it." Cang Qicheng revealed A wicked smile: "After all, the twins of Qing, if you are missing as Qing, then wouldn't my stupid and idiot younger sister become the only Qing?"
What she meant was that she hated her own incompleteness and flawed "red" color, so she didn't want Qingzi's title to become complete and surpass her.
However, Limulu could hear the complex emotions when the other party mentioned his sister, which was dissatisfied but somewhat expected.
In fact, Rimuru suddenly felt that the reason Aozaki Chengzi expended energy to catch up with a fighter transport plane to save herself was not so much because of the title, but simply to repay him and Youzhu for those years. Aoko Aozaki was right to take care of her.
In other words, it was the help to the Aozaki family.
"Tsk, what a complicated sister..."
"what?"
"It's nothing." Thinking of this, Limuru didn't hesitate, and said frankly: "But in fact, I didn't reject your doll because I don't trust you, but because I really don't need it...well, I It's a hybrid of human and phantom species, although I really don't want to admit it, but the phantasy blood in my body is indeed increasing in proportion as I grow up."
"In other words, although the primate killer's attack seriously injured me, it really couldn't kill me. Although the seriously injured body will drag me down for a while, I think that no matter how fine the doll is, it can't kill me. Do you have a body with huge magic power and magic circuits like the phantom species?"
"Fantasy species?" Cangzaki Orange heard the words, thought of her friend the golden wolf Beo, and immediately understood: "So that's the case, am I just pretending to be sentimental?"
Seeing this, Aoqi Chengzi knew that the matter was fruitless, and quickly moved to the side of the moon spirit marrow liquid with eight sharp blade-like legs, and laughed at himself: "As for the phantom species, my doll is really not comparable to it at present. , there is no need to say anything more, but if you need a doll, please remember to come to Jialanzhitang to find me, but don’t forget to bring good money, as you said, my doll is very valuable .”
"Of course, in short, I am very grateful for your concern." Limulu smiled lightly: "As a reward, I will try my best to help you remove the seal designation..."
"Tsk, this is not such a wise business." Aoqi Chengzi turned around and gave a chuckle, some did not believe it, she took this as Limuru's polite words.
The so-called designated seal is like an official arrest warrant. If you want to revoke it, you need not only something that can be measured by money. If you really push it with all your strength, it will contain countless favor transactions and personal connections, which are intricate.
As for Aoqi Chengzi, even if this arrest warrant is not life-threatening to her, as she said, hanging the arrest warrant itself will add a lot of trouble, and she cannot appear openly, and cannot step into the clock. Forbidden places like towers cannot rely on legal means to obtain the desired knowledge, materials, and even... Many of her businesses will be very unstable because she cannot have legal channels.
She didn't care, but it would be a good choice if it could get rid of this trouble.
Limulu shook his head and didn't explain. He just watched Aozaki Orange finally jump off the plane in the passageway made by Kenneth's moon marrow spirit liquid, and disappeared behind the clouds like a fallen discarded doll. Then he looked at Ken Nice said softly: "Your Excellency Kenneth will not really object."
"I'm not even interested in participating in this kind of meeting." Hearing this, Kenneth glanced lightly out of the window, and said with a disdainful smile: "Except for the matter of Emiya Kiritsugu that involved your Excellency last time, he said with a disdainful smile." Apart from having to participate, most monarchs have always been too lazy to talk to each other."
"Indeed." Hearing this, Lidal nodded lightly, sat down on Rimuru's bedside again and picked up the grapes, saying, "Because the teacher of Aozaki Chengzi and the assistant of Bathmelo from the Department of Law and Politics almost represent Without the right to decide on such matters, if there is no opposition from the majority of monarchs, the result will generally not be changed."
