Abnormal Moon

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hayasaka Ai's worldviews were completely overturned.

It's one thing for a wish-granting machine to be so unrealistic, but someone actually uses such a machine to wish for the destruction of the world?

What grudge does this person hold against the world?

"After the Great Cataclysm, the three founding families of the Holy Grail War were punished to varying degrees by the Mage's Association. Tohsaka and Matou each surrendered all their magic patents, while the Einzbern family surrendered their homunculus technology..."

"Is that all the punishment is?"

"As the culprit, the punishment is unbelievably lenient."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's words were filled with deep resentment towards the three starter families. If it weren't for these three starter families, she wouldn't have become a refugee even if she had transmigrated here.

Even Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but give it a sharp review.

After the sharp commentary, she remembered that Rin Tohsaka, whom she served, was a descendant of the Tohsaka family.

Hmm, I hope Rin Tohsaka doesn't hear me say that.

"Don't have any beautiful misunderstandings about the Mage's Association. The Mage's Association doesn't care about the survival of humanity; they only care about the survival of magic. It's just that the inheritance of magic needs humans as a bridge, which is why they manage it."

"...My understanding of the world of magic has been completely refreshed."

"Me too."

The two nodded simultaneously, their faces showing obvious pain.

Chapter 16 The Two Girls in Maid Outfits

Commercial street, clothing stores.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is choosing clothes, while Hayasaka Ai is giving her advice.

Although they had just learned some shocking facts, those things were too far removed from their lives; buying new clothes was more important right now.

"Lord Roy, do you have enough money?"

While Kasumigaoka Utaha was changing clothes, Hayasaka Ai came to Roy's side and asked a question.

"I do have some savings, but only a little."

When he said this, Roy's expression became very subtle.

"After all, there are two money-devouring beasts in my family. Every time they come back, they take all my savings without saying a word. That was money I worked so hard to save while working in the municipal government!"

Roy looked extremely pained.

But the wealthy Hayasaka Ai could not empathize with his pain.

You mean your sisters?

Hayasaka Ai had heard about the Aozaki family; it was Rin Tohsaka who told her that the two sisters were always away from home, leaving Roy alone. What an irresponsible older sister!

"Huh? I'm not from the Aozaki family."

Roy paused for a moment, then smiled at Hayasaka Ai.

“I didn’t tell you that I’ve been living at the Aozaki family’s place for three years now. I’ve just used the money that was stolen to pay for rent, protection money and tuition. I don’t have any complaints.”

He is not a member of the Aozaki family.

So, his full name isn't Aozaki Roy, but just Roy?

Hayasaka Ai suddenly remembered Rin Tohsaka's warning: never touch Roy's past.

"I also need to buy some daily necessities."

As she said this, she quickly walked towards other shops.

Neither of the two girls dared to keep Roy waiting too long, so they quickly picked out a few clothes and some daily necessities and returned to Roy.

"Lord Roy, what are you looking at?"

As soon as the two returned, they saw Roy staring at a piece of clothing displayed by a plastic figure in a shop.

It was a very revealing outfit, with a dark blue base, a very exposed chest, an almost open back, a short skirt with lace trim, and matching headband, black stockings, and leg rings.

"Two sets, no, four sets, please!"

Roy approached the shop assistant and said in a stern voice.

Kasumigaoka Utaha & Hayasaka Ai: "(，#Д)"

"...Lord Roy, are you sure you want to buy this?"

Just to be on the safe side, I'd like to ask, who is this for?

"Of course, I bought them for you guys to wear!"

Roy approached the two with a satisfied smile.

"Isn't it a good fit?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not that shameless!"

"Excuse me for being frank, but I've never worn such a revealing maid outfit before."

"It's okay, I'm wearing it now!"

Roy laughed.

His tone left no room for refusal, clearly indicating that the matter was already a done deal.

Do you have enough savings?

Hayasaka Ai tried to make a final effort.

"Even if it's not enough, I can buy it on credit. Magicians have that kind of privilege!"

Roy showed an unusually firm determination.

Don't abuse your privileges in places like this!

The two girls simultaneously thought to themselves, "What do you mean?"

After packing all the clothes, the three of them started their journey home.

"Speaking of which, what are the androids like in the world of magic?"

On the way home, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly brought up an interesting topic.

"Nothing special."

Roy replied in a nonchalant tone, "The body is designed like a human's, but the mind is basically a blank slate. The magician designs the mind's tendencies. However, there are a very small number of androids who are born with exceptionally good sensibility, just like normal humans, so it cannot be generalized."

"What about the treatment of androids?"

"It's terrible. In the eyes of magicians, they are just tools and consumables, which can be created and discarded at will. No one cares about their feelings, just like machines."

"There must be a shortage of magicians these days, but even so, are androids still so deprived of human rights?"

"Homunculi have no human rights whatsoever, but they are quite reliable as combat forces, since they can be replenished at any time. Therefore, the Mage Association will grant homunculus ranks to homunculus with their own personalities. However, the homunculus ranks can only be the lowest and lowest, and no exceptions are allowed, no matter how strong they are."

"I see."

Why are you asking this?

"Well, if I had to say, it's as a reference for my writing, since I originally wrote novels."

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment and gave a frank answer.

She was transported from another time.

What if I could suddenly travel back in time?

Roy glanced at her, said nothing, and silently walked forward.

Hayasaka Ai glanced at her, but also remained silent.

Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't very shrewd, or rather, not as shrewd as these two. They basically saw through her thoughts, and precisely because they saw through her, they didn't say much.

After all, she was just a girl in her early teens, unlike Hayasaka Ai who was an elite herself.

Kasumigaoka Utaha needs a dream as a source of emotional support.

Aosaki House.

After returning home, Roy arranged for Hayasaka Ai to stay in a side room.

"Remember to change your clothes!"

The two girls entered the bedroom with headaches on their faces.

"What should we do? Do we really have to wear it?"

"I'm OK."

Hayasaka Ai entered her maid mode, ready to fight to the death, and quickly changed her clothes.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had no choice but to pick up the very revealing maid outfit.

After changing their clothes, the two left the bedroom.

Roy had been eagerly anticipating their arrival in the living room. His eyes lit up when he heard footsteps, but he was greatly disappointed when he finally saw the two figures.
