Touko's Grand Plan

Touko Aozaki was undeniably a person of astonishing talent.

In just two years, Touko had achieved the Grand Order title at the Clock Tower, citing her creation of an identical body to herself using cutting-edge doll technology. This meant that if she were to die unexpectedly, her consciousness would transfer to a new body, replacing her original self without any loss.

Outsiders were unaware whether Touko's replication technique merely transferred memories, creating a duplicate of herself in the world, or if it allowed for a continuous, uninterrupted transfer of her consciousness and soul into a new body. Because of this, many Magus, including Cornelius Alba, scoffed at Touko's achievement, believing that even if a new Touko replaced the original, it wouldn't be the same person. However, only Touko Aozaki herself knew the truth of the matter.

Therefore, as long as she didn't fixate on the Aozaki family's Magic, she wouldn't have ended up with the moniker "Scarred Red." Within the Clock Tower, she would have been an exceptional, top-tier super genius with an excellent reputation.

In addition to her immense achievements in doll magecraft, Touko had also re-established the foundation of Rune in modern times, revitalizing Rune Magecraft, which had long lost its efficacy after disappearing with the Divine Era. Furthermore, it was said she possessed several Rune Stones from the Divine Era...

In short, after achieving so many astonishing feats, Touko decided to run away.

One afternoon, shortly before her departure, she loaded C4 Plastic Explosives she had purchased into a small spider doll she had manufactured. She also incorporated spatial expansion effects from Imaginary Magecraft to ensure these explosives had sufficient yield for destructive power. The technology used in the spider doll itself did not involve any proprietary techniques publicly disclosed by Touko Aozaki; it was something that could be bought with money.

That evening, as Cornelius Alba, who had a busy day, returned to his bedroom, a violent explosion occurred. Mr. Alba, the next director of the promising Schonberg Abbey, was killed in his home by the blast.

The Clock Tower's Law and Politics Department immediately dispatched an investigation team, but they found no clues suggesting Cornelius Alba had been assassinated by a Magus colleague. If anything, in recent years, a Magus named Kiritsugu Emiya had frequently employed similar methods, combining modern technology with traditional magecraft to assassinate Magus in the Middle East, earning him the title "Magus Killer." This led the Law and Politics Department to suspect that someone had hired Kiritsugu Emiya.

Touko herself was naturally not on the suspect list because, apart from speaking to Alba a few times, she had no apparent connection to him. Unless someone like the Old Man of the Jewels, who could traverse time, conducted the investigation, her crime would not be discovered. The reason she chose this method of assassination was precisely because Aoko had inadvertently mentioned Kiritsugu Emiya's exploits in a letter, warning Touko to be wary of that man...

As for inadvertently framing Kiritsugu Emiya, Touko didn't care at all. She had done some research and found that the leader of the execution team when Kiritsugu Emiya's father, Norikatsu Emiya, was subjected to Sealing Designation was Cornelius Alba. By doing this, she had avenged Kiritsugu Emiya, so what was wrong with letting him take the blame?

In any case, Alba was dead, and Touko felt one less burden on her mind.

The day Lord Balgretta proposed a Sealing Designation for Touko, Touko paid her respects to her teacher in the morning and then fled the Clock Tower with all her belongings that afternoon, heading to her planned destination.

Touko believed that her sister had a sufficient understanding of her and was quite strong in combat. To defeat her sister head-on, she would need to be well-prepared, for example, with a sufficiently powerful Familiar that would allow her to counter her sister's overwhelming Magic Bullets and her peculiar self-developed "Magecraft."

After two years of continuous searching, she had found a target. Touko believed that if the intelligence she had gathered was accurate, even if her sister had fully mastered the Fifth Magic, she would still be able to put up a fight with this "Familiar."

Touko had once found a clue to her target in a precious record. It was a Phantasmal Species that was still alive, a remnant left in the Human World when the world's mysteries vanished.

In the early eighteenth century, within a werewolf pack in Europe, a golden infant was born. The villagers of the werewolf village regarded this golden infant as the golden beastliness of the forest god, placed great hopes on it, and named it "Ruge," meaning "Sun."

However, as time passed, the villagers were disappointed to discover that the infant never grew. After reaching the form of a human or werewolf around ten years old, it no longer changed and had no gender. Thus, the werewolves finally realized that this being was not a werewolf at all, but some other entity disguised as one.

Touko speculated that this Phantasmal Species had likely achieved a portion of the Third Magic, which is the Materialization of the Soul. If she could take this Golden Wolf as her Familiar, with its degree of return to the Divine Era, modern Magus would be completely unable to affect it, and she would have no chance of losing to her sister.

In fact, Touko had obtained this record long ago, but because Aoko's prophecy was a warning, she had never dedicated enough effort to verify the record or find the specific location of that werewolf village.

She sent a challenge to her sister: in eight months, Touko Aozaki would return to her loyal Misaki Town to reclaim everything that once belonged to her.

Of course, Touko herself knew that this would not be easy, so she needed to obtain the Golden Wolf as soon as possible and then embark on a tour of the European continent according to her prepared schedule, both to improve her strength and to familiarize herself with the Golden Wolf Ruge and practice their coordination.

Sitting on the train, Touko's lips curved into a slight smile. She gazed at the foreign landscapes outside the window, her mood becoming light and carefree. The thought of her smug, bratty sister begging for mercy before her in the future excited her immensely.

As long as she obtained the Golden Wolf and defeated her sister, everything would naturally fall into place, wouldn't it?
