Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Due to the fading of mystery, the performance of magical tools such as puppets is far inferior to the products of hundreds of years ago. This has also led to many excellent puppeteers and magicians who are proficient in puppets being unable to create works that surpass their predecessors.

But Aozaki Touko broke this theory. In such a terrible environment, she made magic puppets of medieval level, and improved and surpassed the theories left by her predecessors. In the end, she even achieved the miracle of [copying another self], which completely broke the theories of her predecessors. Her amazing talent can be seen from this.

As a puppet magician, she achieved the goal that many magicians covet - immortality.

She created countless copies of herself, making her life plural, so that she could transfer consciousness and continue her life until she achieved eternal life.

Her puppet magic skills are undoubtedly the best in the entire magic world. Even the secret artificial human technology of the Einzbern family cannot compare to her talent.

Not only did she extend puppet magic to the extreme, she also repaired and analyzed the runes, the basis of Nordic magic, allowing magic from the Age of Gods to reappear. Because of her contribution and talent to the world of magic, the Clock Tower awarded her the highest rank title, "Crown."

Originally, Aozaki Touko's life should be smooth sailing after arriving here. She could make a name for herself in the Clock Tower and even the entire magic world and become a rising star.

As a result, her teacher gave her a surprise and personally applied for a sealed designated package for her, highlighting the deep affection between master and apprentice.

Because many old guys in the clock tower were spying on the results of Aozaki Touko's magical knowledge, the seal was successfully issued this time.

Since the seal was issued, Aozaki Touko has suffered a lot. Faced with the endless pursuit, for the sake of her own safety, she simply disappeared and hid in the Far East, an area where few Western European magicians have a hand, making it impossible to find her in the Clock Tower.

However, now she no longer has to worry about being hunted by those mad dogs in the Clock Tower.

From the day Xia Yuan united the three monarch factions and came to the temporary clock tower, he took Kenneth to personally talk to the head of the Law Department, Barthelmero Lorelei, about Aozaki Orange, and hoped that the Law Department could revoke the seal designation against her.

Hearing Xia Yuan's request, the head of the Barthelmero family was a little surprised at first, but under his sincerity (coercion by force), the Law and Politics Department also felt that there was no need to offend a huge emerging force for a magician who had been missing for more than ten years.

After all, with the protection of the third magician, no one can touch Aozaki Touko.

He decisively chose the man who knew the times and was a hero, agreed to the conditions proposed by Xia Yuan, and agreed to revoke the seal designation of Aozaki Orange.

It was precisely because of this that Aozaki Touko dared to openly hold a puppet exhibition in the Far East. Otherwise, the Law and Politics Department would have sent people to chase her like a mad dog and sent her to soak in formalin.

However, this is really arrogant to the extreme. If he is not powerful and has not endorsed this woman, such a reckless behavior would make him bear the crime of leaking the secret.

I don't know whether this guy has taken good care of Shiki as I instructed.

He also didn't know when the story of Kara no Kyoukai began.

He didn't know where Araya Soren was, and what he was planning, so he made every possible preparation to ensure their safety.

Pushing open the door of the conference hall, Xia Yuan stepped in.

[Hello guests, welcome to Aozaki Orange's puppet exhibition! ! ]

As the door was pushed open, the strange doorbell hanging in the hall made a strange sound, and then the lights suddenly came on, and the dim hall became bright and spacious.

Then he heard footsteps coming from a nearby room. The sound was very light, and the owner should be a girl.

And soon, in just a few seconds, a girl in a familiar kimono walked into the hall.

He said expressionlessly: "Welcome light... eh?!"

Seeing Xia Yuan's familiar figure, Ryougi Shiki said in surprise: "You're back?"

"Well, it's me."

Xia Yuan greeted her with a smile.

Long time no see, how have you been lately? "

"It's OK. The past six months have been quite interesting. Not only have I become familiar with the eyes, but Orange has also taught me a lot about that world."

"Fujino is also a good opponent. We often get together to spar with each other, and we have both made great progress."

Aozaki Touko commented on the two of them. If they were just facing an ordinary magician, they could easily kill him on first sight with their own talents. Even a true master of magic could be defeated with the cooperation of the two of them.

The Mystic Eyes of Distortion, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

It was really unexpected that these two amazing miracle eyes appeared at the same time in such a remote place.

"It seems like you guys are getting along well."

Ryougi Shiki nodded and said softly, "It's just that it's boring to always follow Orange to open a store, and sometimes I have to act as a receptionist."

"Doesn't this sound very fulfilling? I can see that you have indeed changed a little, both in terms of strength and mentality."

"Where are Touko and Fujino? Aren't they here?"

Xia Yuan was a little curious as he hadn't seen Aozaki Touko and Asagami Fujino for such a long time.

Hearing this, Ryougi Shiki sighed, pointed to a room inside, and replied, "Fujino went out with his father. It seems that he went to another city to meet an old friend and has not returned yet."

"Orange is in the innermost room. He drank too much last night and is hungover today. It looks like he will sleep until this afternoon."

"Again? It sounds like this is a common occurrence."

She was clearly asked to be Ryougi Shiki's bodyguard, but she ended up drinking. This Orange guy is really unreliable to the extreme.

Xia Yuan's face was filled with black lines. He decisively made a note of Aozaki Touko's passive resistance in his little notebook and planned to talk about it in detail after she woke up.

However, she can now go out to do business with the head of the Ryogi family. It seems that Asagami Fujino has integrated into the environment of the Ryogi family, which is a good thing.

And it’s obvious that Shiki and Fujino have a very good relationship, and it sounds like they have become a pair.

"What's wrong? Do you need me to call her out for you? Orange likes to sleep naked, so it's better for you not to enter her room."

There was some helplessness in Ryougi Shiki's words. It was obvious that she had become accustomed to Orange's miserable living conditions.

This troublesome woman...

"No, it's nothing serious. Let's wait until she wakes up in the afternoon."

"OK then."

Upon hearing this, Ryougi Shiki nodded, and then, rarely, took the initiative to invite Xia Yuan.

"Would you like to go out for a walk with me? It's getting boring staying here alone."

"Don't you need to help Orange watch the store?"

"Anyway, I haven't seen any guests for a few days. I just stay in my room reading a book. There's nothing to do even if I close the door."

Going out for a walk...

"That's fine too. Guanbuzi City, there is indeed another place I want to visit. It might be better if I take you with me."

"Would it be better if you took me with you?"

Ryougi Shiki raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? Is this some kind of offbeat date invitation?"

"..."

"What's going on in your little head? It was you who suggested going out for a walk, wasn't it? I'll consider dating you when you're three or four years older. Now... you're too young."

"He's not that young anymore. He's already a junior high school student."

Xia Yuan glanced at Ryougi Shiki and said, "Come with me to find someone, and you will understand then."

After hearing Xia Yuan's mysterious answer, Ryougi Shiki also became a little interested.

"What kind of person is he?"

"The mother of Guanbuzi City."

So without Aozaki Touko knowing anything, Ryougi Shiki hung a [Temporarily Closed] sign on the door of the exhibition, and then followed Xia Yuan out of the store.

……

……

There are many strange urban legends circulating in Guanbuzi City.

Among them, the recently emerged Guanbuzi City Mother is the most famous.

"The mother of Guanbuzi City, the absolute future vision hidden in the alley, it is rumored that it can see a person's future direction..."

"Is this some kind of alternative urban legend?" After listening to Xia Yuan's description, Ryougi Shiki tilted his head.

She didn't expect that the person Xia Yuan was looking for was actually an urban legend. A magician like him could be considered an urban legend, right? How could he be interested in such a thing? Anyway, she was completely uninterested in such urban legend topics.

Although she occasionally heard female classmates discussing this topic, she had no interest in getting involved.

"No, that's not just a legend. The Mother of Guanbuzi City does exist, and the ability to predict the future as described is also real. I am also very interested in her absolute future vision."

"Is it true? The ability to accurately predict the future really exists?"

Ryougi Shiki was a little surprised to hear Xia Yuan's answer.

"Of course."

Xia Yuan nodded and began to explain to her: "The ability to predict the future is not unique to one person. Let's not consider the EX-level clairvoyance in mythology such as Solomon, Gilgamesh, and Odin, which I cannot explain."

"It is possible for ordinary people to awaken the Mystic Eyes. Even if they have the ability of [Precognition] and [Measurement], it is not impossible. But if it is just ordinary precognition, it is not enough to interest me."

"But the old woman's ability to predict the future is superior to the other two. It is the [Absolute Future Vision], which is the real clairvoyance. Only those legendary figures can possess such eyes."

"Now that you put it that way, I understand a little bit. That's really amazing. Being able to see through the future's cheating ability at a glance would be very convenient no matter what you do."

"That's why I want to meet her and ask her to help me predict what I will do next."

"What's next?"

Ryougi Shiki asked, "You specially asked a fortune teller to tell your fortune. Are you going to do something extraordinary next?"

"Well... if I were to put it simply, it would probably be to save the world."

Xia Yuan answered her easily.

"You don't have to say anything you don't want to say. There's no need to use such a topic to deceive children."

Seeing that Ryougi Shiki didn't believe it, Xia Yuan just smiled and didn't explain too much: "Then let's change the subject?"

"Since the Mother of Guanbuzi City is real, are other urban legends also true?"

Ryougi Shiki was a little curious.

"Other urban legends?"

"Like the slit-mouthed woman prostitute on the street, Hanako in the bathroom, and weird things like the swamp man and the chainsaw man."

"It's a lie. If there is any, it's just a hoax. There are no such bizarre stories. Most of them are just imagination."

After hearing Xia Yuan's reply, Ryougi Shiki did not feel disappointed. She was just a little curious at first. She didn't have much interest in these urban legends.

"Oh, then where should we go to find the mother of Guanbuzi City? Do we really have to search every alley? That would be too stupid, right? Do you want me to call my family and ask if they have any information about the mother of Guanbuzi City?"

"No need. The mother of Guanbuzi City, who has absolute foresight into the future, must have known that we are looking for her. If she wants to see us, we will definitely run into her if we continue looking."

"But..." After listening to Xia Yuan's words, Liang Yi Shi asked in confusion: "But according to what you said, if she doesn't want to meet us, isn't it just a waste of effort to walk aimlessly like this?"

"Very clever. If she deliberately wanted to avoid us, we would never be able to find her."

"But she won't."

Hearing Ryougi Shiki's question, Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Because she knows that I can find her no matter where she hides, so it won't be a waste of effort. We just need to move forward."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan tugged at the colorful ribbon on his left arm and decisively sought external help.

To deal with the absolutely accurate vision of the future, they naturally have to use the power of clairvoyance.

"what are you doing?"

Seeing Xia Yuan stop where he was and close his eyes, Ryougi Shiki felt a little curious.

"I just want to send my consciousness into another world to find a friend for help. He can help me find the location of the mother of Guanbuzi City."

"Friends? Contact through the spirit world?"

"Yes, he is trapped somewhere and can't get out. This is the only way to keep in touch with him."

After saying that, Xia Yuan explained Merlin's existence to Ryougi Shiki without any hesitation.

This surprised Ryougi Shiki a little.

"Are even those myths real? You actually know Merlin, the great wizard in King Arthur's legend."

"Of course, we are good friends."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"Come with me, Shiki."

Following Merlin's instructions, Xia Yuan raised his hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "She's over here."

Obviously, the location of the mother of Guanbuzi City has been accurately located by Merlin's clairvoyance.

at the same time.

Deep in the city, a slightly plump woman wearing a veil couldn't help but sigh.
