Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Just as various forces continued to enter Fuyuki City and dug deep into the ground, constantly inquiring about the anomalies during the Holy Grail War, the participants of this Holy Grail War had already fled far away.

Kenneth took Weber and fled back to the Clock Tower at the speed of light on a ship, using the power of the El-Melloi family to protect the two of them. He moved in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to recover the restored magic furnaces in the Hyatt Hotel.

Even though Tōsaka Tokiomi could escape from the temple, he used various excuses to brush off the visitors. He said that he had been eliminated a few days ago, so he didn't know the inside story of the Holy Grail War.

As long as it is considered that the situation has become like this due to the abnormal behavior or illegal operation of some servants or masters, the responsibility should be pushed to the Holy Church as the supervisor.

Even though it's shameless, this is how things really developed. So many troubles were caused by Amakusa Shiro.

Therefore, under the excuses of the Magic Association and the leyline managers, Kotomine Kirei, the administrator of the Fuyuki City of the Holy Church, could only end up with the ridiculous excuse of "gas leak".

Anyway, the dead bodies and the destroyed cities have all been restored, and no substantial losses have been caused. All we have to do is find a suitable reason to make ordinary people believe it.

However, in the mysterious circle, whether they are magicians, agents or dead apostles, they can all be sure of the pillar of light that shot up into the sky that night and the terrifying power that was enough to change the planet's etheric environment. They know that the so-called "Holy Grail" is real.

It really exists. It is the ultimate power of life, or the miracle power of the Lord, and it is the root power.

So in this city, the Dead Apostles quietly walked in pursuit of this powerful force, the Agents looked for traces of the angels, and the Magicians looked for the possibility of reaching the source. The three forces began to dance in chaos in this city.

Every now and then, in the corners of Fuyuki City at night, there would be flashes of swords and blood, or clashes between magicians.

However, Xia Yuan didn't care about these things. The Greater Holy Grail had wiped out all traces of the Holy Grail War. Even if they continued to fight, even if they dug deep into this city, they would not be able to find any useful information.

Moreover, Tōsaka Tokiomi, the manager of the Fuyuki City leylines, and Kotomine Kirei, the supervisor, would not sit idly by.

At this point in time, as long as they don't make too much of a fuss, such as causing loss of life or leaking mysterious events, it doesn't matter.

Compared to these guys, there are more important things waiting for Xia Yuan to do now.

……

……

Time: Two months ago.

Location: Outside the gate of a school in Tokyo.

Xia Yuan was sitting at the door, quietly waiting for the target he was looking for.

After waiting for several hours, he finally waited until school was over, and he knew that the target he was looking for should appear.

Looking back at the setting sun and the students who were beginning to walk out of the campus, a confident smile appeared on Xia Yuan's lips.

"I've come to see you, Shiki."

Volume 2: The World's Stage

Chapter 62: Style and Weaving

Time: Two months ago.

Location: Tokyo.

"Hey, uncle, are you following me?"

At a corner somewhere in the city, this young, energetic and lively girl suddenly stopped. She was waiting at this corner for the strange man who had been following her all the way without any concealment.

This strange man followed me from the time I got home from school until I got home, but he kept a suitable distance and didn't approach me rashly.

Is he worried about the two bodyguards beside him?

Although the two bodyguards beside him are indeed the best in the Liangyi group, their fighting abilities are top-notch.

But she always felt that this was not the reason.

"Miss...that strange guy has been following us since the school gate. He must have ulterior motives."

A trace of vigilance appeared on the bodyguard's face.

"A trafficker?"

"No, the kidnappers wouldn't be so stupid. They wouldn't dare to approach the lady so recklessly with us around."

"Senior, do you think it's possible that someone from another organization wants to harm Miss?"

"Do they have the guts to attack the young lady directly?!" There was a hint of fierceness in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"But it's better to be careful. Take the lady away from here first. I'll go back and teach that guy a lesson."

One of the bodyguards wiped his sunglasses, took out a baton from his pocket, and prepared to teach Xia Yuan a lesson. He also wanted to interrogate him about his intentions in following them.

"Then Miss, let's leave first."

Another bodyguard prepared to take Ryougi Shiki away.

"No, I'll just stay here with you guys and wait for that guy to come over."

Ryougi Shiki shook her head and rejected the bodyguard's suggestion.

“I feel like it’s not that simple.”

"But if there is danger..."

One of the men tried to persuade Ryougi Shiki to give up this dangerous idea, but Ryougi Shiki easily shut him up.

"Hmm? Can't you two handle him alone?"

"Uh this? Then...senior?"

The younger bodyguard looked at the other one awkwardly, and that person couldn't help but sigh.

Now that he had said this, if he refused again, wouldn't it be a direct sign of his incompetence? Besides, with an old hand like him and another junior here, he didn't believe Xia Yuan could cause any trouble.

"Okay... Then you will be responsible for protecting the young lady later."

"I understand, senior."

The young man, who was about twenty years old, nodded, listened to the middle-aged man's words, searched the surroundings for a place to hide, brought Ryougi Shiki to a relatively safe place, and took out a baton from his pocket. Although he was very confident in his senior's skills, he would also step forward to help beat the bad guys when the situation was not right.

Finally, the three of them made a decision and chose to stop at a corner, waiting for Xia Yuan to come over.

……

A few minutes later.

At the corner, a middle-aged man holding a baton stood in front of Ryougi Shiki, while another young man protected her and looked at Xia Yuan fiercely.

With the shining weapon in his hand, his attitude is very obvious.

It means: If you dare to come over, don't blame us for being rude.

Compared to the two extremely alert bodyguards, Ryougi Shiki, who was protected in the middle, was very curious about what this man wanted to do by following them all the way.

This place is now under the jurisdiction of the Liang Yi Group. It won't take a few minutes for nearby members to come to support me. If they really want to kidnap me, wouldn't it be too much of a disrespect to the Liang Yi Group to send this one person to do it on their own territory?

What on earth is he here for?

After taking a closer look, Ryougi Shiki couldn't help but frown.

She always felt that this man gave her a very strange feeling. His figure was very familiar and his face seemed to be seen before, but she was sure that this was the first time she met Xia Yuan.

"Hey, uncle, what on earth do you want to do by following us all the way? Or what do you want to do? This is the territory of the Ryogi Group. Even if you want to kidnap me, you wouldn't be so stupid as to choose this place, right?"

Staring at Xia Yuan's face, Ryougi Shiki felt more and more familiar, but no matter how hard she thought about it in her mind, she could not find any impression of this person.

"Uncle, are you following me?"

"Not stalking, but following."

Xia Yuan, who was being stared at by three people at the same time, did not feel nervous at all. Instead, he raised his hand to correct her, "If possible, please don't call me uncle. I'm only in my early twenties. You can call me by my name or big brother, Miss Ryougi Shiki."

"Oh, you do know me, uncle. So you are following us."

"Guess? Or understand it however you want, but I am indeed here to see you, Shiki."

"You suddenly called me by my name. Are we familiar with each other, uncle?"

"Well, we met once not long ago, but for you, today can actually be considered our first meeting."

"Asshole, is he really a guy sent by another organization? Let's subdue him together!"

The simplest communication ended. Although we didn’t talk much, some people felt that there was no need for further communication.

In the next moment, the two bodyguards beside Ryougi Shiki rushed towards Xia Yuan with weapons in their hands, and hit him in the face with the batons in their hands without hesitation.

He acted decisively and his moves were extremely ruthless.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be hit hard by this and pass out.

However, it is too naive for someone like him.

Xia Yuan just smiled slightly without moving, and then...

slap.

He raised his palm and snapped his fingers, and the blue butterfly pattern was reflected in the pupils of the two bodyguards. The movements of their hands also slowed down at the same time, until they stood there stupidly, without any movement.

"You have nothing to do here anymore. Just pretend nothing happened and leave."

"Yes."

The two bodyguards nodded blankly, then walked away from Xia Yuan.

"what is this?!"

Ryougi Shiki seemed to have discovered something very interesting.

"It's just a simple suggestion magic, but I added some of my own understanding to it." Xia Yuan explained.

"It feels like the dirty tricks used by the bad guys in the movies to easily deceive ignorant girls." Ryougi Shiki blinked and looked at Xia Yuan who had walked in front of her.

"Uncle, you are not a disgusting lolita control, are you going to use the same trick to hypnotize me to do something like that later?"

"..."

Xia Yuan was speechless.

"Are elementary school students this open-minded nowadays? What knowledge did your school teach you? Or... did you learn all this on your own? Shiki, I have some doubts about the level of tutoring in your family."

"You know me?!"

Liang Yi Zhi was a little surprised to hear her name being easily revealed by Xia Yuan.

Ryougi Ori is another sub-personality of Ryougi Shiki.

It represents male, negation, and the positive side of the Great Circle Tai Chi, with the right to use the body.

A sub-personality "Origa" that speaks and moves like a boy. Has the right to use the body, but not the right to control it. It can only appear when Ryougi Shiki loses consciousness, his consciousness is weak, or Shiki actively switches personalities. He is usually asleep.

This kind of thing should not be known to anyone except me and my family, how did this guy know? This person is definitely not a simple guy!

"I know more than you think."

Xia Yuan glanced at Liang Yi Zhi who was in surprise, and reached out to pat his head.

"Aren't you afraid? Aren't you going to try to resist? Like take out the knife you hid in your sleeve and make a hole for me? Aren't you worried that I will really do something weird to you?"

"Tsk, there's nothing I can do even if I'm afraid."

Liang Yizhi shook his head, threw away the knife in his sleeve, and said very confidently: "You can easily hypnotize the two bodyguards just now, but this little trick will definitely not work. If you want to hurt me, I will definitely not be able to escape."

"You see it very clearly."

"I can't help it. If I don't see it more clearly, I won't live to this age."

"He's really a little devil."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything strange to you. Just accompany me for a while, and I'll let you go later. As compensation, I can also teach you the little magic trick just now."

"That hypnotic trick?"

Xia Yuan shook his head: "Correction, it's not hypnosis, it's called suggestion magic."

"Aren't they all the same? Aren't they all dirty tricks to get young girls into bed?"

"You little brat, who do you think I am?" Xia Yuan covered his face. "You are just an elementary school student. It is too early for you to learn this."

"I'm not some little brat. I'm already in junior high school, okay?"

"It's just a little devil, okay."

……

……

"Where are you taking me?"

"Just going to a coffee shop and taking you to meet someone."
