Because of Rin's presence, Bazett still failed to fulfill his wish to check Shinji's body this time, so he could only endure it for the time being.
Because of the arrival of Bazett and Scylla, Saber-chan and rider, who are Servant, stopped diving and logged in one after another and came to the living room.
Knowing that it must be about the mysterious Magecraft master, Sakura showed up and made tea for everyone before leaving with the excuse of preparing snacks.
In the huge living room, there were four Servant and three Master, and the atmosphere was strangely silent.
The dog who was the least able to look at the air was the first to break the silence, pointing at Saber-chan who was standing behind Shinji at about the same height as the back of the sofa and making a joke.
"What is this? A smaller version of Saber? Hahahaha..."
In an instant, Saber-chan's face darkened, and Shinji waved his hand in time and said, "Don't make trouble where there are people."
Saber, who understood what Shinji meant, nodded, then returned to her original shape under Scylla's dumbfounded eyes, and pointed her thumb outside.
"Lancer, if you want to spar, I'll be with you anytime!"
"Exactly! I haven't had a good fight lately!"
After hitting it off immediately, the two Servant were the first to leave.
Because Shinji had no reason to stop it, Bazett didn't stop it either, but let the lancer go. After the two Servant left, Bazett frowned and spoke again.
"Shinji, there seems to be something wrong here. I can feel that there are many familiars staring at me from the moment I got off the plane. There were none in the past few times! It's so strange!"
"It's strange that it's not..." Lin sighed with her forehead raised, "It's normal for foreign Magecraft divisions to come to the local area and be monitored by the local Magecraft divisions to see if they have other purposes, okay?"
small book booth
"But it never existed before!"
Bazett shook his head, and then suddenly thought of something, frowned and looked at Rin, "I remember... Tohsaka is the manager of Fuyuki's leyline... Could it be that..."
"Yes, it is my automatic type monitoring familiar. It will be activated whenever an outside Magecraft master enters the realm of Fuyuki."
"Okay, that's me, Meng Lang."
Bazett, who thought it was reasonable, did not continue to struggle with this issue, but looked at Shinji again, and his expression became serious again.
"Shinji, although I just heard about it, this country seems to have undergone some incredible changes, so I suggest you always pay attention to safety!"
"You're talking about Kami-kakushi, right?" Rin sighed, then put his chin on one hand, hunched his shoulders and looked at Shinji and continued, "The initiator of that is this guy. Thanks to him, Tohsaka was also forced to quit Mage's Association and join Kami-kakushi."
After that, looking at Bazett who looked puzzled, Rin kindly explained what happened over the past week or so, while Shinji was thinking about how to trick Bazett into changing jobs.
Sooner or later, she is one of her own. It is too wasteful for such a person to stay in a place like Mage's Association. And as far as Shinji knows, Bazett is not well received in the Mage's Association.
He does the dirtiest and most tiring work, but he can only get a few words of praise that are superficial and hypocritical. Only Bazett can do this kind of work.
After listening to Rin's explanation, Bazett finally understood what Shinji had done. Of course, the first thing Bazett thought of after learning about it was not those complicated things.
But...
"Isn't it okay?! Doing something like this will put yourself in a dangerous situation!"
Looking at Bazett who suddenly became excited and started to move towards Shinji, Rin's expression gradually became more subtle. She felt unhappy but also couldn't figure out why Bazett could be deceived to such an extent by Shinji!
There is only Shinji in my eyes, okay!
Shinji, who was signaling Lin on the side to stop talking nonsense, raised his eyes and responded with a smile, "Well, I'm fine. The purpose of this is,
It's just so that the people around me who care about me don't have to be told what to do by the Mage's Association from outside. "
As he said that, Shinji suddenly started to improve his acting skills. He lowered his head and showed a look of reluctance. "Sister Bazett, I'm sorry, I lied to you. In fact... Sakura is not without Magecraft qualifications. On the contrary... On the contrary, she actually has the very rare Magecraft qualifications!"
"What?!"
Shinji nodded, with an apologetic look on his face. "Well, Sakura possesses an imaginary number attribute that is extremely rare in the Magecraft world. I had to hide it from you in order to protect her. After all, if Mage's Association knew..."
Shinji did not continue, but Bazett already knew what was going on. This attribute would cause a huge sensation in the Magecraft world. If Mage's Association knew about it, there would be only one result.
Sealing Designation.
It sounds grand on the surface, but underneath it is house arrest.
"No, no need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong for your sister."
Bazett shook his head, and his expression gradually softened. "Now that the mysterious side management organization Kami-kakushi of the island country has completely taken control of the entire island country, your sister Sakura no longer has to worry about such things. Congratulations."
Looking at Bazett with a sincere congratulatory expression, Rin also had a hundred thousand reasons in his heart. What happened between these two people to make Bazett so determined?
"Thank you for your understanding, Sister Bazett."
The grateful smile on Shinji's face was so natural that Rin couldn't find any sense of violation. Rin also admired Shinji's acting skills from the bottom of his heart, and even felt that Oscar was not worthy of Shinji!
"But in this way, Mage's Association's power will no longer be able to extend to the island country. We may..."
Bazett didn't say any more, but the meaning was simple and clear, that is, we may not be able to see each other often because of this kind of thing.
Then, Rin saw that Shinji was even more awesome at recruiting people than a textbook. After reading it, I couldn't help but exclaim, Shinji really knows how to grasp human nature!
The fact that Bazett was not taken seriously in the Mage's Association Shinji did not go into too much detail, but just touched on it a little bit.
Then he started playing the most unbearable emotional card of Bazett!
The look of reluctance to leave makes Bazett shaken!
"...Sister Bazett, I know you left your hometown to join Mage's Association because you were afraid that you would spend the rest of your life in obscurity."
As he said that, Shinji turned his head and looked out the window, his expression gradually revealed a bit of relief, and he continued softly.
"Actually, I'm just like you. Sometimes I wonder, what does it mean to do something great? At first, I thought it was about doing something great that would be remembered by everyone in this world, so I did a lot of things like that.
Whether it is studying music and becoming a singer, writing, creating MT Group that affects the world, or finding asteroids that have not been discovered yet... those are indeed some great achievements in a certain sense in the eyes of some people, but I still don't think that is what I am pursuing.
Therefore, every time I gave up the last chance to say my name and be remembered by everyone, leaving my mark on this world. "
"It's actually like this..."
Bazett looked at Shinji blankly, seeming to have finally figured something out. After all, he had heard about Shinji before, but he also had a lot of doubts.
That's why you have to give up every time when your efforts in a certain area are about to bear fruit?
Turns out this is the reason!
"Then... I finally found my answer."
Looking at Shinji who looked back with a gentle and sincere smile and a slightly red face that seemed a little embarrassed, Bazett swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked nervously.
"It's... what is it?"
"It's enough to protect the existence you care about."
Shinji's words completely stunned Bazett!
"Protect... protect the existence you care about?"
"Well, everything else is actually unimportant. This is a real great deed that many people can only accomplish if you work hard. Even if it is still unknown, your heart will be truly relieved after you do it. It is not the kind of great deed that will win you a world reputation, but it is a great deed of a person's life. Protect the people you care about..."
Lin on the side was shocked. This Shinji was really talking in a set of words. What was even more terrifying was that it actually sounded reasonable! Coupled with the expression he made, I almost believed him!
"The great cause of my life..."
Bazett whispered, UU Reading
He repeated this sentence in his mouth, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense!
"It doesn't matter if you don't have one, just go and find such an existence."
"No, I have too..." Bazett retorted subconsciously, but then he blushed silently.
Seeing Bazett, who said nothing and avoided looking directly at Shinji, Rin was once again convinced of how much of a scumbag this bastard man really was!
"That's good..."
Shinji said softly, and then he bent his eyes again. On his face, Bazett caught a certain emotion of being happy for himself, so he was inexplicably stunned.
"Then what, Sister Bazett... can you stay and help me complete this great cause unknown to the world, help me protect the people I care about and provide a carefree and clean environment for those I care about?"
Looking at the picture, even though he extended his hand to Bazett with a sincere face, he inexplicably felt that Shinji was showing some kind of fangs that Bazett hadn't noticed. Rin finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Wait!
Rin stood up, rushed forward and took Bazett's hand that was already involuntarily reaching out to Shinji.
"This guy is a person..."
Before Rin finished speaking, Shinji quickly covered her mouth with quick eyes and hands. Then, Shinji smiled slightly again. Staring directly into Bazett's eyes was extremely sincere.
"Sister Bazett, you really need to think about this kind of thing, right? So don't give me an answer in such a hurry. You should think carefully about whether to change jobs first."
"Oh... oh."
Bazett, who felt that he was really anxious just now, also nodded. He almost announced his separation from the Mage's Association on the spot just now!
