Is This How We Save Humanity? / You Might as Well Rob Someone ...

He was reluctant to go because his instincts told Mikaela that it was a very troublesome matter.

What right does an outsider like him have to interfere in a battleground involving three people?!

"That's right~" Da Vinci snapped her fingers. She noticed that Mikaela seemed reluctant to come and smiled, "If you come, I can let bygones be bygones regarding the Magecraft materials that guy stole."

"Okay, hopefully it's not anything too troublesome." Mikaela seemed a little helpless. The Magecraft materials that Aozaki Touko stole were for making a swimsuit for him.

He originally wanted to find some time to use Chaldea's device to go to other worlds and slaughter some magical beasts to obtain some fresh Magecraft materials.

However, Aozaki Touko acted too quickly. Da Vinci disappeared, and the next day, Aozaki Touko took away some of the Magecraft materials from Da Vinci's Magic Workshop.

Besides, the other party stole it for his own sake. It's not like he can just run to Aozaki Touko's room now and tell her, "Return the things to Da Vinci, and I'm going to hunt monsters now," right?

"Don't worry~ it's definitely not a troublesome matter." Da Vinci showed a very gentle smile. At this moment, her smile looked just like Irisviel's, so gentle that it could be sickeningly sweet.

If Emiya Kiritsugu saw that smile, he would definitely run away without saying a word, because that smile appeared when...

It means the person with the smile is about to do something terrible.

The former is probably destined to become a juicer, while the latter is of unknown purpose.

"...I hope so."

Mikaela has now lost the 'Ten Rings' and can no longer use teleportation, although it is now possible to teleport by spending some magic power.

But there's no rush now, so why rush to get there?

"Okay, what would you like to drink?" Da Vinci seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and she had already begun to prepare what Mikaela wanted to drink.

"Thank you for the black tea."

Mikaela planned to shut down the communication devices; it wouldn't take long to get from the Control Room to Da Vinci's shop.

"Is black tea enough? Would you like something else?" Da Vinci asked again.

"I'll have black tea then, or you could prepare a glass of fresh milk for me." After saying this, Mikaela turned off her communication device and walked towards Da Vinci.

Chapter 512 Is this the Human Order?

Upon arriving at Da Vinci's Magic Workshop, it seemed that Aozaki Touko had already arrived as well.

"You stingy person, it's just a little bit of stuff, why are you so petty? Didn't I put in the effort to use your body and Olga Marie's body?"

Aozaki Touko looked at Da Vinci speechlessly and said, "These two things took me a lot of effort, so as payment, what's wrong with me taking some of your Magecraft materials?"

"The problem is, didn't I already pay you?" Da Vinci was speechless at Aozaki Touko's roguish nature, as if she hadn't paid him at all.

Who helped you with the place you live now, the equipment you use for experiments, and your identity card before you were exposed?

Da Vinci helped Aozaki Touko not because of her personal charm or because she was Ryougi Shiki Asagami Fujino's teacher.

Rather, it's because the other party genuinely demonstrated their usefulness to you.

"Yes, I was paid, but it wasn't enough, so I'm asking for a little more." Aozaki Touko lied through her teeth, as if to say, "I'm shameless, what can you do to me?"

"This is really interesting." Da Vinci was also amused by Aozaki Touko's rogue theory. She looked at Aozaki Touko and said, "Then I feel that I have paid too much. Can I take it back?"

"The reward has been given, there's no reason to take it back!" Aozaki Touko laughed, trying to take the item back from her!

Unless her sister comes, it won't make a difference Servant come!

"Enough." Mikaela stopped the two who were about to start arguing. He sat down next to Aozaki Touko speechlessly and looked at her, saying, "It feels like you're getting more and more senile."

Originally, although Aozaki Touko was 'shameless,' she would at least restrain herself. But now that she's at Chaldea, it seems like her true nature has been completely unleashed.

"Have you ever been poor?" Aozaki Touko looked at Mikaela with a smile and said, "Have you ever experienced being ridiculed for not having Magecraft materials? I am clearly several times stronger than those guys who only do research, but they can waste Magecraft materials at will, while I can only sit in the office sighing."

"When you first met me, thanks to someone's... ah, no, I should say, thanks to my brilliant plan, I successfully obtained a huge amount of Magecraft materials. Sometimes I still marvel at how useful the title of 'True Magic' really is."

When talking about her past experiences, Aozaki Touko boasted a bit. No one knows how she got through it back then; that dark history has been forever suppressed by her.

"... So, that's your reason for stealing?" Da Vinci was speechless. You may be miserable, but why did you steal my things?

"Is this stealing? This is borrowing! Is something Magecraft does stealing?" Aozaki Touko's expression changed quickly. She smiled, took out a cup of freshly brewed black tea, took a slow sip, and said calmly, "If I become wealthy in the future, I will pay you back."

"Fine, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I came here this time hoping you can help me out."

Da Vinci was too lazy to argue with Aozaki Touko anymore, because when Mikaela came over, she didn't plan to ask Aozaki Touko about the Magecraft materials she had stolen.

If the other party hadn't been so persistent, Da Vinci wouldn't have continued to press the matter.

"Speak, what is it? What is the reward?"

As soon as she mentioned needing their help, Aozaki Touko instantly woke up. "You actually need my help? This isn't like the previous times when I 'got something for free'. I won't help without payment."

"1. Help me perfect the 'Little Da Vinci' body. I checked it yesterday, and perfecting the functions takes too much time. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take me a long time to complete the 'Little Da Vinci' body."

Ever since Olga Marie's sudden death, Da Vinci had realized that although he was an omnipotent being, her death would cause some unnecessary trouble for Chaldea.

Although the chances are practically nonexistent, given Chaldea's current Servant, including two Holy Grail that provide mana, Chaldea's own mana supply system, and the large Mana Furnace currently under construction.

Unless some Creation God descends, Chaldea has the power to fight back.

But... sometimes you never know for sure, so Da Vinci, who was used to playing it safe, worked with Aozaki Touko to create Olga Marie's body, as well as Da Vinci's 'spare body'.

That's Little Da Vinci!

Mikaela glanced at Da Vinci and Aozaki Touko with a somewhat subtle expression. She hadn't expected that the Little Da Vinci from the second part of FGO would actually appear now.

"You could have made this even without our help, right?" Aozaki Touko looked at Da Vinci with a puzzled expression. She lit a cigarette as usual and said calmly, "Didn't you say back then that the later parts were the core and that I couldn't get involved?"

Da Vinci was wary of Aozaki Touko back then, knowing full well that she was a master of modern doll making.

Aozaki Touko, who truly holds the title of 'Grand', might be able to deceive Da Vinci's eyes if she dares to make any underhanded moves, thus threatening 'Little Da Vinci' even before he is born.

"Now you can trust me." Da Vinci rolled his eyes. The reason he didn't let Aozaki Touko get involved in the first place was simply because she wasn't trustworthy.

After Mikaela joined, Da Vinci lowered his guard, as she seemed to be on good terms with Aozaki Touko.

Knowing Mikaela's personality well, Da Vinci felt that Aozaki Touko was someone he could trust.

"Then, what about 2?" Mikaela asked calmly. Da Vinci had just said 1, so there must be 2, 3, 4, and so on.

Calling himself and Aozaki Touko over just for Little Da Vinci would be making a mountain out of a molehill.

Da Vinci wasn't an idiot; she certainly wouldn't do that.

"2. I want you to create four Da Vinci, each with a different age, build, and clothing." Da Vinci blinked, showing no shyness whatsoever, and said, "I want to know. I think things have gotten interesting lately, so it's necessary to 'go all out'."

"??????"

Aozaki Touko and Mikaela exchanged a glance, both seemingly noticing the surprise in each other's eyes.

What's going on? Da Vinci, something's wrong with you!

"Does it really have to be that way?" Aozaki Touko was speechless. She really hadn't expected that Da Vinci would be so... bored!

"If it's just a sex toy, then you've come to the wrong person. You should go to Irisviel." Mikaela shook her head, speechless. "I have absolutely no experience in that area."

"Ahem! These aren't sex toys, but spare bodies for saving Human Order." Da Vinci tossed his hair with a rather narcissistic smile. "It's always good to have a few extra bodies, just in case."

Chapter 513 You Might as Well Go Rob It

It's always good to have multiple bodies, just in case.

Do you even believe what you're saying?

Mikaela and Aozaki Touko looked very helpless. They were both busy preparing for the beach activities, so how could they have time to help Da Vinci and someone else's love triangle?

"The payment is negotiable, after all, I've accumulated quite a lot of Magecraft materials."

Seemingly noticing Aozaki Touko and Mikaela's 'disdain', Da Vinci quickly said, "Besides the part used to make my body, there are many other materials for you to choose from, as well as some Magecraft items given to me by Servant. These can also be given to you after the items are completed."

At this point, Da Vinci Projection a screen with pictures of various Magecraft materials and some small props that looked handmade.

Da Vinci was showing his stock to Mikaela and Aozaki Touko first. There's a saying that goes, "If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it grass."

As the only merchant in Chaldea, Da Vinci has acquired many valuable items in the past few months.

I don't know if the other party is greedy for money, or simply wants to accumulate some useful items for Chaldea.

After all, most Servant come to Da Vinci to buy gadgets have to pay something in return, such as Magecraft materials.

For example, there are a whole host of materials, large and small, such as Tear of Blood, Spirit Root, Black Beast Grease, Phantom Dust 'Warhorse Foal's Horn, Barbarian God's Heart, Serpent Jewel Ghost Lantern, Chaos Claw Jewel, Dragon's Scale, Dragon's Tooth's Fang, Phoenix Feather, Phoenix Feather, Octuplet Crystal, Forbidden Page, Infinite Gear, and Wicked Bone.

In addition to these materials, Da Vinci also accepted handmade items made by the Servant themselves, such as the dagger made by Ryougi Shiki, the original manuscript written by Emiya Kiritsugu, the miniature Holy Grail sculpted by Irisviel, and so on.

These items all possess a certain power, although they are not as exaggerated as the power of the Servant themselves, they certainly have their own uses.

"Do you think I need it?" Mikaela sighed, he himself relied on the 'power' of others to fight, and he didn't care about the things in Da Vinci's hands at all.

I wouldn't really have any use for those Magecraft materials even if I got them!

"..."

However, Aozaki Touko fell into an eerie silence. She asked calmly, "Does Chaldea still need merchants?"

"You're tempted?" Mikaela looked at Aozaki Touko with some surprise.

"That's right! How could I not be tempted?" Aozaki Touko slammed her hand on the table, staring at Da Vinci and shouting, "You bastard, you had so many good materials! And you hid them away!! You left me with a whole bunch of junk in the Magic Workshop!"

Aozaki Touko admitted that she took a lot of things from Da Vinci's Magic Workshop, but none of them contained any high-level Magecraft materials!

After Da Vinci 'disappeared' yesterday, she practically turned his Magic Workshop upside down, but all she found was a tiny bit of Magecraft material, just enough for herself and Mikaela to make two swimsuits.

Yesterday, Aozaki Touko found it very strange. Da Vinci must have had more Magecraft materials than that, so why could she only 'steal' such a small amount?

"Is that considered junk? That level of Magecraft material would be considered quite good in modern times," Da Vinci said with a chuckle. She had seen modern Magecraft materials before and knew that what she left in the Magic Workshop, even if not top-quality materials, was still excellent.

"Ha! If you don't give me a few hundred copies of the high-quality materials in the pictures today, I absolutely won't help you with this!" Aozaki Touko was also a little upset.

I thought I got a good deal, but I never expected Da Vinci's inventory to contain so many high-quality materials!

"Hundreds of servings?! You might as well just rob a place!"

Da Vinci was also shocked. Although she had expected Aozaki Touko to make an exorbitant demand, she hadn't expected her to be so outrageous!

I want hundreds of top-notch Magecraft materials myself!

"How can you rob someone as fast as this?" Aozaki Touko laughed, smoking a cigarette and saying in a very leisurely tone, "I know you are very strong and you are involved in everything, but when it comes to making dolls, how could you possibly compare to me?"

"After all, she's a doll that can get pregnant and can guarantee her 'prime time'," Mikaela said, giving Aozaki Touko a compliment.

The other party is indeed very powerful in the field of doll making, otherwise they would not be called Order of Puppeteer.

This is why Mikaela believes that after Aozaki Touko's death, she will become a top-tier, even exceptional, Heroic Spirit.

Because she is truly amazing. Even setting aside the 'technique' of making puppets, in the realm of Magecraft alone, there are few in modern times who can compare to her.

"Without me, you would probably need to spend a considerable amount of time creating your own clone." Aozaki Touko was now completely confident in Da Vinci's hard-earned Magecraft material.

She won't take it all at once, but she'll take a significant portion! She's just too tempted! So many high-level Magecraft materials!! Anyone would go crazy for them!

"We don't even have a few hundred copies. These materials are very rare. Don't go too far."

Da Vinci rolled her eyes. She was certainly not going to lie obediently on the chopping block and be slaughtered, but since she had invited Mikaela and Aozaki Touko, she was prepared to bleed.

"Hehehe~ If we don't have hundreds of copies, then giving a dozen or so copies of each material isn't too much to ask, is it?" Aozaki Touko started negotiating with Da Vinci; she was an old hand at it.

He naturally knows how to secure more benefits for himself.

"A dozen or so?! You'd be lucky to have even one of these! Do you know how long it takes to collect high-grade materials?" Da Vinci said irritably.

Servant she's not a combat Servant, she naturally couldn't personally travel to other worlds to collect Magecraft materials; she entrusted these things to other Servant to obtain.

"I don't know. All I know is that your figure is not as good as the Queen of Sheba's right now, and you haven't even made Little Da Vinci."

Aozaki Touko remained completely calm and unperturbed, even though Da Vinci kept saying that this was to save Human Order.

But isn't it obvious who this is for?

Do you really think everyone is blind like the Demon God Pillar?!

Aozaki Touko and Da Vinci began a new round of bickering, with the two trying to bargain and raise prices in an attempt to gain a greater profit.

This left Mikaela, who was sitting quietly drinking red tea, speechless. So why did she ask me to come over?

He knows nothing about puppet making. Are they trying to make him their henchman?

After all, aside from combat, Mikaela really couldn't think of any other mission that would suit her.
