Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 360 I like friends very much, and I also like ‘friends’ very much

"Ms. [Puppeteer], how about we talk about cooperation?"

Fang Yi, who had activated [Mind and Soul Confusion] and a number of abilities that easily gained [Friendship], said this.

Aozaki Touko, whose hands and feet were tied by Irisviel and whose mouth was subsequently sealed, began to struggle hard.

But this struggle was meaningless for this [Grand Puppeteer] who was dressed as a white-collar woman, whose fingers could not move and could not use any [magic].

It's more like a worm wriggling than a struggling one.

Fang Yi looked at the raised head and angry eyes of the [Champion Puppet Master] and immediately realized something.

This woman had a very bad temper and started fighting with others over a disagreement. It was obvious that she was still resentful of the beating he had just given her.

In this case, we want to reach a cooperation agreement with the other party in a short period of time.

It is nothing but a fantasy to expect the other party to obey your instructions and help you gain more.

Looking at Aozaki Touko who seemed to have not changed at all, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

[Is it still not working? ]

[It seems that this trait that looks like "Charm" isn't that useful. I'm afraid I'll need to use my own methods to increase my friendship points.]
-
Thinking of this, Fang Yi touched his chin and looked at the other party, and at the same time began to think about how to "train" the other party and quickly turn the enemy into a friend.

After all, imprisoning the opponent to prevent him from doing bad things would waste unnecessary combat power.

Killing the opponent will only cause him to 'resurrect' elsewhere and create an enemy in this mission.

Besides, he now needs help from the other party in some matters.

Fang Yi turned his gaze to the laptop beside him, which was relatively "advanced" in the 90s and contained a lot of knowledge.

After operating the 'advanced' computer at hand, he used the 'Human Pill Method' to verify the authenticity of the 'Alchemy' book.

It is confirmed that the book covers a wide range of topics and provides a relatively complete explanation of alchemy.

Just use the memory-enhancing trait [Encyclopedia] to "memorize" this knowledge whole.

Then he could activate the [Human Pill Method] to consume 'fuel' to quickly build a [database], and then consume a large amount of 'fuel' to help himself organize and summarize.

Then, the conjecture that each level of [Alchemy Basics] and [Alchemy General Knowledge] can be independently improved with only 200 points of cheap skill level is feasible.

Fang Yi began to think about how to harvest more "fuel" of the [Human Pill Method] to complete this plan.

After much thought, he decided to target the "monster" that originated from the [Saint's remains].

Based on the comments about the [Memory Collection] effect and the cane woven from [memories] in this [relic].

And he killed Matou Zouken and obtained a large amount of "fuel" for the [Human Pill Method]. After killing the Heroic Spirit, because the Heroic Spirit's spiritual essence was all filled in the Holy Grail, the "fuel" did not increase at all, as can be seen from actual verification.

Obtaining 'fuel' probably has little to do with the opponent's strength or flesh and blood, but rather with whether the 'soul' has been obtained.

The souls of flesh-and-blood creatures that have lived for a long time can produce more 'fuel'.

Considering that the "blood sacrifice" of [Bloody Alchemy] is to directly erase the opponent's entire flesh and blood, including the soul.

Therefore, he needed the other party's puppet technology to transfer the soul's 'resurrection' technique to separate the soul and body of the monster in his hand.

The soul is killed once, and the body is used for a blood sacrifice, thus achieving "killing two birds with one stone".

Thereby maximizing profits.

Therefore, he needed to "conquer" this Miss Puppet Master and make her do her best.
-
I thought back to the personality of this [Grand Puppeteer] since his debut.

After thinking about the other party's possible "weaknesses".

After a while, he looked at the other person's beautiful face, fiery pupils, and chest that was heaving up and down with anger.

Fang Yi gave a very standard smile.

He had already thought of a way to 'take advantage of a loophole' to improve the other party's friendship.

[After all, you should pick the softest persimmons.]

He walked out of the room and said these words to Emiya Kiritsugu, who had replaced Irisviel and was standing here as punishment, waiting for him to review the results of his reward.

“The payment is real and accurate, so there is no need for paper books.

"But there is one thing that needs to be resolved."

Fang Yi turned his head and looked at Aozaki Touko in the room.

Emiya Kiritsugu did not speak at first, but thought about it first.

Then, he followed Fang Yi's gaze without leaving a trace and glanced at the tied-up Aozaki Touko in the room.

After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly lowered his head and very tactfully stated his position in a low voice.

By the way, he gave Fang Yi some "intelligence".

"She is a magician who has few relatives or friends and works almost alone.

“As long as she’s not here”

In response to Emiya Kiritsugu's rather flexible moral remarks, Fang Yi interrupted him with a wave of his hand in annoyance.

"She's quite useful, bring me a pair of glasses.

"I'm here to communicate with her and quickly resolve the conflict between this [Puppet Master] and me.

"It's getting late. I should leave after resolving the conflict."

Without a moment's hesitation, Emiya Kiritsugu replied, "Please wait a moment," and turned and left.

This "magician killer" was looking forward to getting rid of Fang Yi, the "terrorist", as soon as possible, and the other party's words were exactly what he wanted.

After obtaining most of the gains, Fang Yi no longer wanted to stay in the Emiya residence.

He planned to quickly and decisively "solve" Aozaki Touko, and then be ready to squeeze the "monster" dry, and kill the other party after obtaining the intelligence.

Then he went back to talk to his swordsman lady, advanced the [Breaking Limits] mission, and further improved his strength.
-
Aozaki Touko, whose hands and feet were a little numb, looked at the cooperation declaration, and was forced to retreat in silence by her own attitude.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yi said something to Emiya Kiritsugu outside the door.

Although angry that the other party beat and tied him up.

But after the other party talked to her and put that nice face close to her, the anger in her heart dissipated a lot for no reason, and she cooled down.

After calming down, I thought and reviewed the situation.

After taking off his glasses, the very objective puppeteer suddenly realized something:

[From the moment I attacked the other party for no reason, I was already in the wrong.]

According to the rules of the magician, even if he is "killed" after being captured by the opponent.

It was just the reward she deserved for attacking the other party.

Thinking of this, the puppeteer who had suffered a loss, whose chest was heaving with anger, visibly "deflated" like a punctured balloon.

If only I hadn't been so impulsive and attacked him without knowing the truth.

The [Puppeteer] looked at the [Magic Gift Set] and [Crystal Mayfly] that the man had placed on the table, and felt the [Sealed Box] in her body.

A sense of regret has already arisen in my heart.

【This is over! 】

An expensive [Magic Gift], a trump card that can "self-destruct" with the enemy to achieve the power of a city-level [Noble Phantasm].

I'm afraid that he will leave me today because of my behavior.

Not to mention the other party's attitude towards her body, she would probably be humiliated.

As for the plan to kill the "enemy" who had been fought many times but failed to be defeated, I am afraid it will be ruined.
-
Thinking of this, she tried hard to raise her head and looked at Fang Yi not far away, who still had a standard smile on his face but no longer communicated with her.

Although her face was still indifferent, there was already a hint of "Do you think I still have a chance.jpg" in it.

Obviously, she hoped that the other party would invite her again so that she could "take advantage of the situation and get off the hook."

Then, she saw the man walk out of the room, communicate with Irisviel outside the door, and then take something.

I heard the other person say a little loudly, "No need to have dinner, I will resolve the conflict quickly and leave here."

Unable to move, thinking that the other party was going to attack, Aozaki Touko became anxious as her psychological defenses were broken.

"Let me say something, let me say something." "Didn't you say cooperation?"

"We can talk, everyone can talk, I can talk too"

However, these sincere words only made her let out a few meaningless whimpers from her mouth which was blocked by the scarf.

Looking at Fang Yi, who was walking closer with his hands behind his back to "execute" her.

Under the influence of [Mind and Soul Confusion], Aozaki Touko's cold face was already showing some visible panic.

A few tears welled up in his eyes, and there was even a hint of pleading.

Her meaning couldn't be clearer.

"Can we talk again?"

But seeing Fang Yi who was unwavering and had no intention of communicating, Aozaki Touko could only close her eyes in despair.

However, she did not notice any strange behavior from the man towards her.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, she felt the man's hands touching her ears.

Her nose bridge sank and she wore a pair of glasses.

Her personality instantly changed to the gentle, enthusiastic, subjective and humane Aozaki Touko.

【What is he doing? 】

The next moment, the silk scarf that had been stuffed in his mouth for so long that it had stretched his mouth a little and made him numb was pulled out by the man.

The man's slightly frivolous words also reached her ears.

“It seems that you are not that stubborn.

“It’s not as stupid as, ‘It’s not that I know I’m wrong, but that I know I’m going to die.’”

Fang Yi stretched out a finger and waved it in front of the [Grand Puppet Master], adding this sentence.

“So, I’m willing to give you a chance to say a word.

"This sentence will determine how I treat you from now on."
-
Aozaki Touko thought for a moment and quickly brainstormed.

With this reasonable personality and the blessing of Fang Yi's multiple abilities, he racked his brains to come up with such a submissive statement.

"You are not my enemy and it is disrespectful and wrong for me to attack you indiscriminately.

"I should first express my apology and offer you compensation that you can accept."

After saying this, Aozaki Touko softened a bit and stopped talking, but stared at Fang Yi.

Looking at the submissive Aozaki Touko, Fang Yi did not answer.

Instead, he glanced at the word "Mind and Soul Confusion" on the panel with disdain and complained harshly.

[I was naive to have high hopes for this "junk trait."]

[This trait seems really useless. I still have to rely on myself to solve the problem.]

[Don't be wary of strange things that might happen when using it.]

Fang Yi, who 'misunderstood' the power of the trait, classified this trait as an ability that can be used with confidence.

He first paused as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, then rubbed his palms together and very deliberately glanced at the [Magic Gift Set] [Crystal Mayfly] not far away.

Aozaki Touko followed Fang Yi's gaze and saw the [Magic Dress] that had a mechanical beauty and embodied her magician's talent.

Although I was heartbroken about losing this [Magic Costume], I felt somewhat reluctant.

At the same time, she was puzzled by the servant's request for the [Magic Costume], but she still made a promise insincerely.

"That [Magic Gift Suit] as compensation?

"It belongs to you and your Master. Take it."

Fang Yi listened to the prompt sound that said [The certification points for this item have changed from 20000 points to 12000 points].

Knowing that the other party was "not sincere", Fang Yi did not point it out to him. Instead, he shook his head and pulled out the [California Clear Light] from his waist, ready to catch a big fish.

When Aozaki Touko saw Fang Yi's actions, her heart suddenly turned cold.

He wants to execute me?

In a hurry, she was about to blurt out the "self-destruct" card on her.

However, the next moment, as her eyes blurred, she saw such a puzzling scene.

The man turned his back and walked towards the table where the [Magic Gift Set] was placed, and the long sword in his hand was already sheathed.

She subconsciously touched her neck.

After confirming that there were no scratches, she looked at her hands that were now free and realized a fact.

The other party untied her.

[He accepted the proposal of [Magic Gift Set] as compensation. Is he allowed to leave?]

【But didn’t he say he wanted to cooperate? 】

She staggered to her feet and was about to inquire about the man's intentions, along with some instructions for how to use her [Magic Costume].

However, she didn't expect that the man who took the [Magic Costume] turned around, fiddled with the somewhat falling apart [Magic Costume] for a while, and then handed it to her.

It was accompanied by this sentence.

“I really like friends.

"I don't want your [Magic Costume], nor do I want your compensation.

"Just listen carefully to my conditions, sign a contract, and cooperate with me for mutual benefit."

Aozaki Touko couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked at the [Magic Gift Set] in her hand that had been restored with the help of Fang Yi's [Principles of Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Lv4].

[This Servant also understands mechanical design? What era is he from?]

She looked at Fang Yi, who still had a standard smile on his face.

Even though the other party had simply returned her [Magic Gift Set] for nothing, she still had a subtle liking for him.

At this moment, she felt that the man's smile was not as hateful as before.

She subconsciously adjusted her glasses.

[This man has both good character and ability, and is a very high-quality partner.]

[Perhaps after paying some price, I can borrow his power to kill my 'enemy'.]

Aozaki Touko looked at Fang Yi, starting from his face and evaluating him from head to toe, and came to this conclusion.

[You can even find a way to kidnap him from his Master.]

"You can keep it by my side as a familiar to deal with my younger sister who wants to become a magician."

Thinking of this, a smile from the heart appeared on Aozaki Touko's face.

She stood up, stretched her numb body, and extended her right hand towards Fang Yi.

“Well then, Mr. Servant, my partner.

"Please tell me the specific terms of cooperation."
-
I heard the notification sound that [The character [Aozaki Touko]'s friendship level towards you has changed from [-12/100] to [59/100]].

Fang Yi smiled slightly and gave this answer.

"I need you to use your skills to help me safely handle a 'friend' who likes to do little tricks.

"But we need to sign a contract called [Binding] first."

At the same time, Fang Yi also added this sentence in his heart.

[While I enjoy friends, I also enjoy 'friends' who are willing to sit in my 'Ten Thousand Souls Banner' and provide me with benefits.]

Fang Yi felt that this upcoming 'blood sacrifice' should bring him some good benefits.
