People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

“……?” When did you become so brave?

It's not that Qin Xuan didn't know Lin's character, but it was because he knew it too well that he was surprised. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he euphemistically asked, "Have you thought about how to deal with your mother tomorrow?"

Unexpectedly, Toosaka Rin immediately retorted: "Humph! ... Mother will be so happy tomorrow!"

Oh my god, Toosaka Rin, you are so smart!

Qin Xuan also realized that Toosaka Aoi had been intentionally or unintentionally showing goodwill to Qin Xuan over the years. Not only did she ask him to accept Toosaka Rin as his apprentice, she also repeatedly stated that the Toosaka family's magic collection could be borrowed at any time. Wasn't she just looking forward to having him as her son-in-law?

Qin Xuan could completely understand the reason why Toosaka Aoi made such a choice. First of all, unlike the very autistic Einzbern family, the Toosaka family and the Qin family have been friends for generations and have a "friendship foundation". They are also "well matched" in terms of status. Secondly, the two families are now in similar situations as their family lines are declining. It is difficult to know the background of an outsider magician as a son-in-law, so it is better to match her daughter with the only son of the Qin family who was a childhood friend of her daughter.

In this case, the daughter must be married off. As for the issue of Tōsaka's offspring, it can be solved by having more children and then adopting them.

In fact, if there could be a peaceful life in the future, Qin Xuan would not refuse such an arrangement, but the problem is that in a few years, Fuyuki will become the battlefield of the Fifth War, and in a few years, it may be the "largest Holy Grail War in history". Qin Xuan only played a little bit of the plot in his previous life because he was not interested in the game, so he was not sure about the conditions, but he knew that the big boss Gai was not easy to mess with. In short, humans are going to be gone, so what's the point of talking about marriage?

This is also the reason why Qin Xuan's attitude is rather evasive.

The only problem is that Qin Xuan originally thought that Toosaka Rin was young and would not care about such things, but he did not expect that she would "rebel" to Aunt Aoi today.

At this time, Qin Xuan finished taking a shower and walked into his bedroom door, but saw darkness.

He just muttered, "Why do girls like to turn off the lights?" Then he touched the edge of the bed and lay down directly on the edge of the bed without getting into the quilt at all.

"..."

After a while, there was a movement in the quilt, and a small hand grabbed the corner of Qin Xuan's clothes, "Aren't you cold?" As she said that, Toosaka Rin began to pull it in hard.

"It's okay." But Qin Xuan still leaned over as he was told.

As soon as he entered the bed, he felt a warm and slightly petite body next to him, and as the distance between them shortened, half of his body began to stick to Rin's pajamas, and he could gradually feel the soft body through the clothes. Perhaps a little embarrassed, Toosaka Rin slowly retracted her hand, and the two of them were half-sticking to each other in the quilt.

Qin Xuan waited for a while but didn't hear Toosaka Rin speak. He didn't know what she was thinking about, so he had to speak first: "You want to ask me something today, right?"

"Ah, ah?"

"Leaving school early and sneaking out in the middle of the night are not things that a good student or a young lady would do. You never did things in such a roundabout way before...Okay, I have to admit that your mother and I have been too busy recently to the point of neglecting your feelings."

"..." Toosaka Rin's body tensed up, it was obvious that what she was thinking hit the nail on the head.

"I will tell you everything we have been busy with during this period, including the causes and consequences." Qin Xuan's answer made Lin feel relieved.

"The story begins eight years ago... You and I both know what happened eight years ago."

"...Yeah." That was a year that Toosaka Rin didn't want to remember. That was the year when her perfect father passed away. That was also the year when Qin Xuan lost his only remaining relative.

"Your family and mine all died in that war, in that magic ritual of killing each other for the Holy Grail," Qin Xuan revealed the truth. "You, me, and the Einzbern family all know that the so-called wishing machine function of the Holy Grail is just to attract foreign magicians to come and make up the number of people."

"We, the three great families, have been pursuing the Holy Grail for generations. In fact, we have been pursuing the source with our own purposes. For example, the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish is to use it to reproduce their lost third law. But what I want to tell you is that the ceremony eight years ago was successful and the winner was decided, but no one achieved their goal."

"Hey, how come..."

"I saw this from the leyline detection report. The ritual reached the final step, but no one made a wish, and no one passed through the "outside" hole. Instead, a large-scale fire broke out. Of course, the disaster area has now been rebuilt... I only found clues in the large underground cavity of Yuanzang Mountain, where the "Great Holy Grail" system is located. The conclusion is: the Holy Grail is contaminated."

"Ah?! Then we must hurry——"

"Don't panic, I've already sealed that place," Qin Xuan held down Lin who was about to jump up, "That's not what we need to worry about. The real problem is that since only a portion of the magic power accumulated in the last ritual has been consumed, the new Holy Grail War is bound to start earlier. According to the current trend... we estimate that there will be less than four years left."

Toosaka Rin wasn't the type of girl to panic when faced with a big problem, so she quickly figured it out, "We have to solve the pollution problem before the war starts, otherwise we'll have to solve it during the Holy Grail War."

After all, we can't expect the enemies during the Holy Grail War to be so friendly and listen to others.

"To be precise, we need to prepare for the worst and have a way to quickly end the war and solve the pollution in the early stages of the Holy Grail War. So I have been setting up the 'venue' in Fuyuki City recently, and your mother is also busy transferring assets to other places."

After hearing the whole story, Toosaka Rin felt a little angry and aggrieved.

At this moment, Qin Xuan felt Toosaka Rin approaching him and squeezing into his arms. He could already vaguely feel the hot breath of Rin on his chest. Her voice came: "Why... why didn't you tell me earlier? Obviously I could have helped. You think you are so great by taking the responsibility on yourself, but are you going to carry it all by yourself?"

Rin punched him softly a few times.

"Stop scolding me," Qin Xuan hugged Lin, who was making small movements in his arms. "Tomorrow I will go to Guanbuzi City to investigate some things. Before I leave, I will give you the authority of No. 17. If there is any situation, notify me immediately. Fuyuki City will be handed over to you as the 'steward'."

"Who is the housekeeper? The disciple helps the master... Isn't this natural?"

Get out of my arms before you say that.

--------

The next morning, Toosaka Rin woke up from her bed alone, the melodious chirping of birds and the bright sunshine pouring in from the half-open window dispelled her sleepiness. She gradually recalled what she had done last night.

She slept with Qin Xuan ah ah ah——

"I lost my mind yesterday and said shameful things and even acted like a spoiled child towards him. What kind of romance story is this where they confess their feelings to each other? How am I going to face him after this? How about I pretend that nothing happened? This way I feel like I lost. Damn it%@*＃..."

"Good morning, Ms. Rin. Mrs. Aoi is expected to arrive in 15 minutes," No. 17's voice interrupted Toosaka Rin's delusions. "Breakfast is ready. It is recommended that you get up and wash up as soon as possible, otherwise Mrs. Aoi's mood index will drop by at least 30%."

It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over her, and Toosaka Rin suddenly came to her senses.

That’s right, let’s deal with mom first.

Rin felt like she was at Thermopylae about to face a large wave of Persian troops, except that she was not one of the three hundred Spartan warriors, but a young volunteer soldier who signed up for the war in a moment of enthusiasm and then felt sad and wanted to retreat the next day.

She soon waited for Toosaka Aoi to arrive, and then found that she seemed unable to cope with it, because Toosaka Aoi brought several boxes with her. When she opened them, she found that they were all Rin's own clothes, shoes, hats, magic tools and personal belongings.

The extremely intelligent Toosaka Rin understood what her mother meant without waiting for her mother to explain, and her face fell.

What the hell, is this 110? I feel like my mom has sold me out...

Chapter 7: Prepare to be the Sixth

Visit Buzi City.

Qin Xuan came out of the station and was glanced at by people around him along the way. Perhaps it was because the 14-year-old handsome boy was carrying a cello case on his back that was much taller than him, which made people feel a little awkward and worried.

In the meantime, several women dressed in fancy clothes came up to him and were rejected by Qin Xuan with brief words.

Qin Xuan didn't know much about Guanbuzi City. When he came, he only brought a few maps marking the city's terrain, rivers, and building distribution.

Qin Xuan casually rejected the invitation of the taxi driver next to him, and stretched out his spiritual sense, as if scanning something back and forth. He quickly locked onto a certain direction and drove away.

His figure quickly became less noticeable, blurred, and then disappeared from the ground.

------

A dilapidated warehouse somewhere.

The walls were covered with traces of red paint or human blood. The air was filled with the indistinguishable smell of medicine and disinfectant. A man was squatting. The light from the fluorescent lamp was not warm. He seemed to be recording the growth of the green leaf crops in front of him.

When he was about to get up after finishing his work, he was stunned. A boy stood behind him without him noticing. Who was this boy? Why did he come in here quietly? He wanted to see the boy clearly, but he lost consciousness before he could do so.

Qin Xuan picked up the record sheet from the man who had fainted, "Xian Ma? Is this a drug dealer?"

"No. 17, is there anything unusual about this crop?"

"The creators, judging from their appearance alone, are all ordinary strains."

Qin Xuan began to rummage through boxes in the corner of the warehouse. "Student ID, Bai Chunliu... Murder investigation? '■ month ■ day, the first target, arms and legs; ■ month ■ day, the second target...'"

"On the 17th, check the historical murder reports of Guanbuzi City Radio Station."

"The search has been completed. There are 5 records that basically match."

"When the time comes, hand this Bai Chunliu over to the police." Qin Xuan was not interested in ordinary people. This person seemed to have a stronger vitality than ordinary people, but there was nothing special about him. Moreover, Qin Xuan was a person with very little empathy and was not interested in messy ways of killing. He might as well close the case in a secular way. From now on, this place would belong to him temporarily.

Qin Xuan first cleaned up the messy debris and poisonous strains, cleaned the walls that emitted a strange smell, and then prepared to build the ground vein node.

What happened to Bai Chunlixu was purely a coincidence. Qin Xuan's real purpose was to choose to establish several temporary geomagnetic nodes.

This method is to obtain a stable energy source and solve the disadvantage of playing away. In fact, Qin Xuan knew from the previous attack and what happened to Rin Toosaka that the attacking enemies were divided into at least two forces. Although it was difficult to find out the news about Tatari, the girl from Liyuan Girls' College was too obvious. No matter what the girl's intention was, the people behind her were just trying to lure him over. But it was impossible for Qin Xuan to play away, and he had to ensure his advantage.

In short, if you want to trick me, let's see who tricks whom?

Therefore, the first thing Qin Xuan did when he arrived here was to establish these carefully measured nodes. Once established, the endless spiritual vein energy flowing underground will branch out and enter the "floating" stage, turning this area into a "pseudo spiritual land."

For example, ordinary families are usually established on high-quality spiritual land, which is equivalent to a natural "spiritual vein floating node". Most of these spiritual lands are occupied or indirectly controlled by major magic families.

One obvious benefit of this is a good environment for performing the spell. In addition, a more advanced spiritual place will also have characteristics such as "good harvest" or "good fortune".

However, the function of the ground vein node constructed by Qin Xuan is simply a source of energy. He needs to ensure that he can maintain a stable source of magic power on the land of Guanbuzi City before resolving this incident. This is not Dongmu City. The Dongmu ground vein has been transformed by several generations of the Qin family due to the creation of the Holy Grail ritual. This allows Qin Xuan to have the prerequisite for a long-term supply of "unlimited magic power".

Qin Xuan took out a magic wand that was longer than his height from the cello case and inserted it into the ground. The magic wand was called "Deqiu's Pillar", and its shape was an Ankh + Gas Scepter + Spine symbol, and the elements added to the wand were "order" and "stability".

The function of this element is not only to maintain the stability of the tributary channels of the spiritual vein, but also to shield against spying and abnormal phenomena from the ground.

Qin Xuan doesn't want to "create spiritual land" on a large scale, so he must avoid the mutual interference between the ground and underground.

After finishing his work, he put the staff back into the box, set up a barrier around him to drive away idlers, and threw the still unconscious person into the police station. Then he continued to change places to set up nodes.

They were busy until dark. Qin Xuan looked up at the sky and said, "Let's stop here today. By the way, Aozaki Orange's magic workshop is also here. Since we are here, we should go and visit it."

By the way, please urge the progress of the puppet production.

Well, as Party A.

------

"So, you came all this way just to speed up my progress?" Aozaki Touko held her forehead with her hand. "I have other orders to take care of, and the deadline is very tight. The time set in your contract is far away, so... you know, you have to wait in line."

"You can add more money."

"I'll start working on your order now!" Aozaki Touko immediately changed her tone, "So what's your new price?"

"The 'Eve Heart' I delivered earlier is the core hardware of the puppet, and there is also a set of 'central system' that matches it. It is roughly divided into several modules: 'synesthesia' that allows the operator to drive it like an arm, 'cognition' for autonomous imitation and learning, and 'overclocking' that actively breaks through its own functions..."

Qin Xuan briefly explained the key technical points, and then asked Prometheus to remotely package the information and send it to Aozaki Orange's mutual trust device.

"I always feel like my workload has increased again..." Aozaki Touko said in a joking tone, "So, you're not really here just to urge me to make progress, are you?"

"Something did happen." Qin Xuan did not deny it, but briefly described that he had been attacked and needed to investigate some suspicious targets in Guanbuzi City.

"Do you need help?" Aozaki Touko was not too nervous. The young man in front of her was definitely not a rookie. Since he spoke in a relaxed tone, it meant that the situation was not bad.

"No need. The biggest help to me would be if you can get the doll done as soon as possible." Qin Xuan thought that the so-called "help" might be because she didn't want to lose such a high-quality partner, but it might also be that she simply wanted to make some "extra money".

"By the way, do you know any juniors from Reien Girls' College?"

"...?" Aozaki Touko seemed a little surprised. "You are interested in students from a girls' school? Young people are really energetic. Aren't those women in the group chat enough to satisfy you?"

"Why don't you look at what you just said again," Qin Xuan denied, "I want to ask about 'excellent' juniors like you."

Aozaki Touko shook her head and did not give a direct answer. She had graduated many years ago, so how could she suddenly pay attention to those students in school?

However, she has received a lot of orders recently, and it feels like it's time to add an assistant. If there is a talented junior, maybe she can consider training him? No, training a newcomer will take up a lot of her time, and considering that there is no extra money to pay salaries, it's better to wait until she has more free time...

"By the way, where is the familiar you brought that day, the golden wolf Beo?"

Looking around, Qin Xuan found that this simple magic workshop did not seem to have any other signs of life.

"I wonder where it's going to have fun? Don't look at it. I can't control it," Aozaki Touko replied. Her contractual relationship with Beo had ended long ago. The only prerequisite for it to follow her was that it was willing. "I think it's quite interested in you. How about I contact it and you can take it away."

"I can't afford to raise a fantasy plant. Goodbye."

It seems that no valuable information can be obtained. Qin Xuan walked out of Aozaki Chengzi's poor base, looked at the sky, sent a message to his family, and then set out on the way back.

Chapter 8: Asagami Tono chooses to join

"I am back."

Late at night, Qin Xuan had just stepped into the house with his left foot when Toosaka Rin, who was waiting inside, took a step forward and said in a soft tone that she had never used before: "Welcome home!"

She was wearing a housewife-style apron today, and the clothes underneath were loose and made of little fabric. Not only were her armpits exposed, but when she bent forward slightly, her chest was almost exposed, forming a shape with almost no undulations.

Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment.

But thank you for your impromptu performance, it was really corny.

He changed his shoes, walked around Toosaka Rin who was still bent over, and walked in on his own.

"Don't ignore me, ahhhhhhh—" Toosaka Rin couldn't hold it in any longer, and as expected, a crazy voice was heard behind her.

In front of the dinner table.

Qin Xuan looked at the large plates, medium plates, side dishes, stews, shark fin soup, rice cake and red bean soup, and other Japanese dishes on the table in front of him, and had a familiar feeling. Some of the dishes often appeared when he went to the Tohsaka family for dinner.

He turned to look at Toosaka Rin who was standing beside him, "Please sit down."

She visibly hesitated and shook her head.

"Just sit down when I tell you to," Qin Xuan pulled her over and asked her to sit down. "Did you learn to make these dishes from Aunt Kui?" When he saw the dishes on the table, he guessed that Aunt Kui must have come here to say something to her today.

Qin Xuan's three meals a day have always been customized by Prometheus according to health standards. The dinner will not be too much unless he is entertaining guests, and the taste will tend to be light due to his preference. The Japanese dishes in front of him are obviously not machine-prepared, and have a very down-to-earth flavor.
