In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Compared to those clueless guys in the restaurant, she had a very fruitful day...

Or perhaps the so-called thief never intended to hide it from her at all.

They brazenly used several metaphorical features to directly convey information to him in the restaurant.

It was clearly extremely dangerous, but he still did it. This behavior was just like that of a phantom thief in another world, wearing a white suit and brazenly showing off his skills to the police.

This time, the Demon Eye Collection Train was completely exposed by that guy, who even cleared his name and escaped unscathed.

The thought of this outcome made Aozaki Touko's smile even harder to suppress than Ak's, but she had studied facial expression management, so she naturally wouldn't do anything stupid that would drag her down.

And what happened was not just the current situation. During this breakfast, she also completely confirmed Rita's true identity and her level of magic.

Putting aside the absurd rumors circulating that "the owner of the Demon Eye Collection Train must possess a Rainbow-level Demon Eye," she has now witnessed firsthand the true power of the train's owner.

Although there was no direct observation, one could roughly deduce from the aura that it possessed a pair of powerful magical eyes of the highest quality and gem-grade, though its actual abilities were currently unknown.

Aozaki Touko finally understood why that crazy woman had been targeting her ever since she got on the bus.

It turns out that Luo Wei's guess was indeed correct; that woman was the real person in charge behind the train, and her reluctance to reveal herself while boarding as a customer was also a scheme to outmaneuver him.

Now, seeing the other party's impotent rage, I feel really good inside.

Tsk tsk, at least in Aozaki Touko's opinion, that guy definitely won't have the energy to deal with her in the short term.

They should just go and play their own detective games.

……

Shortly after the morning commotion, Lo Wei and Orange returned to their guest room together.

At that moment, the other magicians in the restaurant were all actively staying there to help with the investigation, while Aozaki Touko was pulling on Lo Wei's arm as she hurriedly followed him back to their room.

"Hey, Luo Wei, you must have stolen it, right?"

As soon as he entered, Aozaki Touko spoke to him with great enthusiasm, getting straight to the point.

Because Luo Wei had set up an isolation barrier in the room the night before, ostensibly to maintain privacy, they didn't need to worry about being eavesdropped on. Besides, those guys were too busy to bother listening to them.

"Oh, how do you know?"

Luo Wei didn't answer directly. He just plopped down on the bed and lay down leisurely, his expression not at all like someone who had done something wrong.

"Ha, you're still pretending with me."

Seeing his expression, Aozaki Touko chuckled and then sat down next to Luo Wei with a strange smile on her face. However, her fingers were groping all over Luo Wei's body, clearly searching for something.

"What are you doing? You female hooligan, can't you have some self-control in broad daylight?"

Finally, after enduring her groping and even her exploration of sensitive areas, Luo Wei, who was leaning against the bed, sat up, slapped away her restless hand, and then put on a reproachful expression.

"Huh? Did you have a reaction just now?"

However, the next second Aozaki Touko said something that made him feel extremely nauseous.

"Don't be so shy. After all, it's just a normal situation. Besides, didn't you say before that you have some feelings for me? Even if that's true, I can help you get rid of them..."

"Get away from me, you perverted bastard!"

Seeing Orange grinning mischievously as she crawled down from the bed toward him, Luo Wei was speechless. He then slapped her face with a pillow.

I thought that every time I entered a dream, I would try to download computer parts to myself, and then mentally rape my own Mary, who was already an extremely heavyweight existence.

He never expected that there would be someone outside who wanted to physically rape him.

For a moment, Luo Wei felt like he had committed some terrible sin, and all the guys he knew were so perverted.

"Hmm... Take out the hidden gem-grade magic eye first, and I won't do anything reckless."

"..."

After a brief silence, Luo Wei spoke up: "Why do you think I stole the Gem Eye and that it's still on me right now, Orange?"

"Heh, you're practically revealing your hand to me already, and you're still asking this kind of question?"

Aozaki Touko chuckled lightly, then answered with great ease.

"Is there even a question? Of course, it's the magic tricks and clues you left behind..."

"Leaving aside the Crest Bug, which is clearly a Matou family magic, the fact that the gemstone comes from Finland is enough to tell the story. After all, you and I just got on the train in Finland, so it's perfectly normal for you to have some impression of Finnish gemstones, right?"

Aozaki Touko gently spread her hands, revealing a helpless expression, and then she continued, "Besides, I saw the information about the Matou family when I accompanied you in the Holy Grail War. You were the one who gave me the information about insect familiars and corpse manipulation back then, how could I not recognize them? Among all the people here, everyone has the opportunity to obtain the Norse gems, but you are the only one who knows the secret of the Matou family and can use other people's family magic so easily."

"As for why you deliberately left behind that familiar called the Crest Worm, it was simply to temporarily clear your name of suspicion. After all, you are the next successor of the Mineral Science Department. In addition to being proficient in alchemy, mastering the illusion magic of the Gold System is already quite remarkable. The Crest Worm magic that manipulates corpses is not low-level; it is clearly a type of magic that only people from the Zoology Department would use. Putting aside your completely unrelated relationship with the Zoology Department, how old do you think you are? No normal person would think that you could master several great magic spells that are completely independent of the system, right? After all, human energy is limited."

Listening to Aozaki Touko's explanation, Luo Wei stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully. Then, feigning surprise, he said, "I really didn't expect you to actually read the information I gave you. I thought that during the Holy Grail War, you were so engrossed in shopping with Scáthach that you forgot all about the things I had arranged."

"Ahem... that was just necessary communication between companions."

When Luo Wei pointed this out, Aozaki Touko's expression became somewhat awkward.

However, since he said that, the situation was indeed... like that.

"Finally, let me ask you one more question, Senior Orange. Where do you think those two gem-level magic eyes are? After all, the train conductor said that the staff member hadn't had any contact with anyone in the time leading up to his death, right? Why do you think they're on me?"

Then, Luo Wei asked Orange another question, the most important one in this case.

—Where did the Demon Eye go?

However, the question that had troubled Rita and even the entire train seemed to have been answered in Orange's mind long ago, and she had also anticipated the question raised by Lovi.

Instead of looking puzzled, a slight smile appeared on his lips before he gave the answer.

"Didn't I tell you? Of course it was on you. Didn't you take it right in front of them?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm really impressed with you. Do you really have to resort to this Sherlock Holmes-style detective method at a time like this?"

Aozaki Touko's expression suddenly turned quite helpless at Luo Wei's cryptic behavior. She covered her forehead and said, "Aren't those four gems on you just four gem-level Mystic Eyes? They're just shrouded in illusion. Although I can't figure out how you managed to cast such an illusion that could deceive gem-level Mystic Eyes, this is the only answer."

"The illusion you dispelled in front of everyone wasn't completely gone, just one layer, but it was indeed dispelled, and it happened in front of everyone. This gave everyone the illusion that the illusion was gone, so they subconsciously thought that it had been switched and the remaining thing was a fake, so they didn't pay much attention."

"Moreover, since the auction is imminent, they will definitely be anxious to find clues. And among all these people, you are the only one from the minerals department, so those four gems will definitely end up in your hands for appraisal. Therefore, you have a lot of room to maneuver, which is to say, you brought them back openly and legitimately, just like now."

"so……"

"The answer is completely correct."

Rowe looked at her with a smile, took out the four gems, and at the same time used the spell left by Avalonrimelli to directly break the illusion. In the blink of an eye, the four magic eyes, which had been identified as ordinary gems by several magicians, once again revealed their true nature.

"Oh, oh, oh! Just as I thought, but it's amazing you could do something like that."

Seeing the Mystic Eyes appear, Aozaki Touko's expression became even more excited, but she also felt a little heartache.

After all, a Gem-grade Mystic Eye is the highest-level magical treasure in the world and should be carefully stored away. Recalling how it had just passed through everyone's hands and remained on the ground for so long, she couldn't help but shudder. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she and Lehman were both respectable people and had been careful not to handle the gem too roughly. If it had passed through the hands of that priest named Hansa, it could easily have damaged the Mystic Eye itself.

Looking at the four beautiful, pearl-like magic eyes in Luo Wei's hand, Aozaki Touko suddenly lowered her voice and asked.

"So... what are your plans now? Do you have any escape plans or anything? After all, given the current situation, this train is unlikely to let us leave until we find the lost Eye of the Demon. Although the methods you used this time are indeed unparalleled, they are not foolproof. Continuing to investigate will definitely lead to trouble."

This is the truth.

Even though Lo Wei's methods were perfect, combined with the divine illusion technique cast by Meryl, he successfully blinded everyone and made them completely fooled.

However, it is by no means perfect to the point of being without any flaws.

As a famous detective once said: There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world.

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Such methods might never be discovered in the ordinary world, but this is the realm of the mysterious, where they have many ways to trace the origins.

If they still have no leads before the auction at 6 p.m., they will have to resort to drastic measures.

There are many magical eyes in the Magic Eye Collection Train that can see into the past and track clues. Try them one by one and you will eventually find some clues.

This was the train conductor's assurance, and also a warning he issued.

After all, if the thief were one of these guests, he would definitely feel a sense of crisis and try to escape the train before being discovered.

For the real killer, staying would undoubtedly be a bad deal.

After all, two pairs of gem-grade magic eyes are already the most precious treasures in the world.

Now that we've got everything, leaving is probably the safest option.

Although that's what the other party said, Luo Wei sensed a threat or even coercion in their words.

They may have already secretly laid a trap, waiting for the escapee to expose himself.

And even if the other party manages to escape, it doesn't matter. Because whoever escapes is guilty, and the Demon Eye Train will definitely find out their identity and hunt them down to the ends of the earth to get their revenge. At that point, even a monarch won't be able to maintain their authority.

It can be said that the initiative has been taken back by the Magic Eye Train team.

Aozaki Touko was aware of this, which is why she was worried about Lovi.

Even if Lovi were to advance to the Grand Magician rank and become the new rising star of the Clock Tower, the Mystic Eyes Train would let him go, and the trouble that followed would be no less than that of the Sealing Order.

That's why she wanted to hear what Luo Wei had to say.

If there's a way to escape directly, then she'll continue her life on the run with Luo Wei today. Since she's already been hunted down by the designated agent of the seal, it doesn't matter if it's the Demon Eye Collection Train instead.

After all, no matter how powerful this train is, it can't surpass the Legal and Political Affairs Department.

Trading two pairs of gem-grade magic eyes for a chase is actually worthwhile.

Moreover, even if Luo Wei didn't make a move, the other party would have done so tonight anyway. What she was doing now was merely striking first, so she didn't see any problem with it.

Since reconciliation is impossible right now, it might be better to escalate the situation further.

When the time comes, she can take Luo Wei back to her hidden hideout in Guanbuzi City, and there won't be any major problems.

However, Luo Wei calmly asked her, "Leave? Why should we leave? Aren't we here for the auction? What does the Magic Eye, which I stole from the warehouse with my own skills, have to do with what I bought?"

This statement truly baffled Aozaki Touko. She genuinely hadn't expected Luo Wei to be so unfazed by the so-called past perspective and prepared to fight to the bitter end.

Although she wanted to advise Luo Wei to calm down, seeing the confident look in his eyes, she realized that Luo Wei must have his own reasons for daring to say that.

To this, Luo Wei could only think to himself that even the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star, and Merlin's Extra Clairvoyance, couldn't see his past or future. Who were they trying to scare with a mere Magic Eye that didn't even reach the Rainbow level? Go ahead and look if you can; if you can see it, then you're truly impressive.

You should know that he had considered all the Mystic Eyes before this operation, so no matter how Rita tried, she wouldn't be able to find any clues today.

and……

The other party had been plotting to kill them all along. Given such a deep grudge, how could they possibly be satisfied with just two pairs of gem-grade magic eyes?

Not to mention there are only three children in the family, and we haven't even prepared their wedding favors yet. How can they just leave like this...?
