"Get... get... get married!"
Tohsaka Rin made intermittent sounds and subconsciously took a step back. Her eyes were evasive and she did not dare to look at Touko. Just now she thought of one thing, that is, as the head of Tohsaka Household, she owed Aozaki Touko astronomical debts.
In this case, if Aozaki Touko uses this as a blackmail... then what should she do? Should she resist desperately and then be succeeded in despair, or should she bear the humiliation and agree to the evil request?
No matter which one, the ending will not change in any way.
As for suicide, it makes no sense. Aozaki Touko, who has now become Magic User, is essentially no different from a god. Even if she really commits suicide... Aozaki Touko can easily resurrect her.
The length of human life... the life and death of human beings are just things that can be easily manipulated by Aozaki Touko.
The so-called death is just an interesting drama in front of Aozaki Touko.
"...Lady Touko, I haven't... finished my studies yet."
She whispered with her cheeks flushed. Now all kinds of strange pictures flashed through her mind, and she gradually felt that her body was getting warm. What should she do... At this point, her brain was now too confused to think effectively.
"Ha... when you turn sixteen, Rin, Holy Grail War will almost start."
Aozaki Touko glanced at the blushing girl and said nonchalantly, "In the last Holy Grail War, I became Magic User. Now, in the blink of an eye, Holy Grail War has to start over again."
"...Holy Grail War!"
Tohsaka Rin was slightly startled, and his pretty face changed color slightly. "If you want to open Holy Grail War again, don't you have to go through sixty years of magic power accumulation? Why do you have to start it again so soon?"
Her feelings towards Holy Grail War are very complicated... She was a witness to her father back then. He jumped into Vortex of the Root and never came back. It was also that war that completely reduced their Tohsaka Household.
Therefore, her attitude towards Holy Grail War is extremely complicated.
However, if Holy Grail War is opened again, as the current owner of Tohsaka Household, he will not refuse his obligations, although he should not choose to jump to Vortex of the Root to seek death.
However, winning Holy Grail War will still be considered.
"What is accumulated is just magic power... as long as it is artificially added."
Aozaki Touko held his chin with his slender hand and said with a smile, "During this period of time Fuyuki City... I added some magic power to the Holy Grail to advance the time a little bit."
"That's the Holy Grail... the magical power fifty years in advance!"
Tohsaka Rin widened his eyes, flicked his ponytails and said, "Is that kind of thing... really something that humans can do? That is the magic power accumulated by Fuyuki City's spiritual veins for fifty years."
She knows what kind of monster Magic User is... it can be achieved in a human body. The accumulation of fifty years of spiritual veins is still a bit unbelievable to her. You must know...Fuyuki City's spiritual veins are one of the largest spiritual veins in Japan.
The magic power accumulated by such spiritual veins... it is too exaggerated and terrifying for an individual to easily surpass it.
Although she had long known that Magic User was a monster beyond common sense, she did not have much real sense of it. Only now, in this strong contrast, could she feel how much Magic User was beyond common sense.
No wonder... it is a power that can be called a miracle.
Chapter 329 The holy relic is an iron cage
"Compared to these... Rin, you might as well think about some practical things."
Aozaki Touko closed his eyes and said in a seductive tone, "If you can win Holy Grail War, even if you don't use it to pursue Vortex of the Root, you can still wish for endless money. By then, you will not only be able to pay off the debt, but you can also squander the gems at will, fully reflecting the Jewel Magecraft advantages of your Tohsaka Household."
Regarding the Jewel Magecraft used by Tohsaka Rin, it is definitely very powerful. It stores the magic power in the gem and uses it when needed. Needless to say, it is convenient.
In terms of power, Tohsaka Rin can even explode it to the level of Noble Phantasm.
However, such an excellent and powerful Jewel Magecraft has a disadvantage, that is, the medium used is very expensive. On average, each Tohsaka Rin using Magecraft gems costs more than 500,000 yen.
That is...Magecraft that only rich people can use.
Obviously, poor Miss Tohsaka Rin is not a wealthy person.
"Feel free to... squander gems~"
Tohsaka Rin stuttered a little. She felt that her brain was a little blank, as if she could not breathe. She was intoxicated by the beauty described by Aozaki Touko. If she defeated Holy Grail War... then she would naturally be able to pay back all the money she owed Aozaki Touko, and the funds for studying Jewel Magecraft would not be missing in the future.
But soon, she became acutely aware of a crucial issue.
"Lady Touko, you won't also participate in Holy Grail War, right?"
That's right, if a being of Aozaki Touko's level also participates in Holy Grail War, then she won't have any chance of winning. After all, the standards of a being like Magic User are too high, and their own strength is enough to overwhelm the pusher Heroic Spirit.
So... it would be better not to participate in Holy Grail War in the first place,
In case you lose the battle and owe some deceptive contracts.
To be honest, if she could, she really wanted to travel back in time to the moment when her father Tohsaka Tokiomi and Aozaki Touko signed the contract, and tell her father how poor she would be in the future.
However, this is just a thought... After all, if her father Tohsaka Tokiomi had not signed the contract, it is estimated that their whole family may not see the sun tomorrow.
"Well... of course I will."
Aozaki Touko thought for a moment, and then replied, "Such an interesting Magecraft ceremony, it would be a pity if I didn't participate, so for the time being, I will still join Holy Grail War."
"Lady Touko... stop joking."
Tohsaka Rin shook his ponytails and opened his eyes angrily. "If you participate in Holy Grail War... then there will be no suspense about the outcome. Then wouldn't it be meaningless to risk your life to participate in Holy Grail War?"
"...Holy Grail War doesn't have to defeat me this time."
Waving his hand, Aozaki Touko smiled and explained, "As long as you are in the last group besides me among Holy Grail War, then you can also get the right to wish for the Holy Grail."
"No need to beat you... Then why do you want to participate in Holy Grail War?"
Tohsaka Rin asked with some doubts.
"Well... for the sense of participation."
Aozaki Touko crossed his arms across his chest and said with a smile, "If I want to... with my authority as Third Magus, in fact, I can make a wish on the Holy Grail now. There is no restriction in itself."
She held up a finger, her eyes flashing with mischief.
"It can even be said that I can decide whether the Holy Grail will grant wishes."
It is no lie. As Third Magic User, she has natural control over the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City. She can choose to participate in Master of Holy Grail War at will, bestow as many Command Spell as she wants, and control whether the summoning of Heroic Spirit can succeed.
You can even control whether the final winner can realize his or her wish.
"I see... Then I will not participate in Holy Grail War."
Tohsaka Rin sighed a little disappointedly. She probably understood the essence of this Holy Grail battle. It was a game organized by a 'big boss'. As the organizer, Touko decided whether to reward the winner.
If that's the case, then she'd better not get involved in this Holy Grail War.
Even if she wins...Aozaki Touko may not necessarily agree to her wish. After all, her wish is to pay off the debt, which conflicts with Aozaki Touko's intention to control her.
So... she has no reason to participate in Holy Grail War.
"If it is Rin's wish... I will agree to it."
Aozaki Touko glanced at Rin and said as if he had insight into her heart, "I like people to owe me money, but it is to establish a bond of relationship. Now in my opinion... it doesn't matter even if there is no such relationship."
She reached out and stroked 'Rin's' pretty face.
"Rin, we have an emotional bond."
"...Lady Touko."
Tohsaka Rin's cheeks were flushed, and he shyly twirled his fingers around his hair, saying softly, "In this case, can we just cancel the debt directly? The debt doesn't matter anyway."
"No!"
Aozaki Touko's expression changed and became cold. "If you want to get rid of debt, then rely on your own efforts to get it. As long as you win Holy Grail War, there will be no problems."
Tohsaka Rin: "..."
"By the way, I have already taken care to prepare the holy relics."
Aozaki Touko took out a rusty iron cage from Reality Marble and chuckled, "When Holy Grail War starts, you can use this to summon. It will definitely be super powerful Heroic Spirit."
"Really... there was no room for rejection from the beginning."
Seeing this scene, Tohsaka Rin still didn't understand why. This Lady Touko from the beginning... probably planned to let her be Master, and let her summon a specific Heroic Spirit to come to this era.
"Don't worry about this... I will give you some benefits later."
Aozaki Touko blinked, pointed his index finger on his red lips and said, "Kaiyue Hotel will hold an auction later, and I will take you to participate and buy some interesting little gifts for you."
"Auction?"
Tohsaka Rin was a little surprised.
"Hmm...Magecraft division-to-teacher auction."
Aozaki Touko nodded slightly. "In a moment, various forces from various parties will come here from the mysterious side, including Holy Church and Dead Apostle."
"Why... why didn't I notice it?"
Tohsaka Rin's face became tangled. As the manager of Fuyuki City's spiritual veins, it was undoubtedly a blow to her that there were so many outsiders who didn't notice it. So many outsiders... should not be able to hide it from her.
"Because... everyone who comes here hides their identity."
Aozaki Touko smiled nonchalantly and said, "There is a person in this auction who is enough to make people break the unspoken rules and snatch things. If you don't hide your identity well, you will be bitten to death by a pack of wolves."
Chapter 330 The Goddess of Hades
"Enough to break the unspoken rules?"
Tohsaka Rin felt a thump in his heart, and immediately felt bad.
If there is a conflict between these Magecraft masters who sneaked into Fuyuki City to participate in the auction, then she, as Fuyuki City's spiritual pulse manager, will have a huge headache.
"Well... there will be a Doll with a Blank Soul in this auction."
Aozaki Touko picked up the juice on the side and took a sip, and explained casually, "It is said that many old guys can't hold on any longer during this period, so they want to snatch the dolls in this auction to extend their lives no matter what the cost."
During this period of time... she has rarely produced dolls for auction. In the past, she still needed some funds to support Chaldea, and the construction of Magic circle also required a lot of money. For the time being, she was diligent in auctioning some dolls to supplement her money.
However, with the accumulation of her wealth... and the construction of Magic circle is coming to an end, she has no shortage of funds, so she doesn't have much interest in auctioning the dolls.
This has also resulted in the demand for dolls being in short supply. Those in power who want to extend their lives... will seize every opportunity to auction the dolls at all costs, even if they are still healthy. If they cannot buy them, they will rob them of material resources.
No one knows when the Aozaki Touko doll will be auctioned next, and no one knows whether Aozaki Touko will auction the doll again next time.
Therefore, we can only try our best to seize the only certain chance of life.
As for those who choose to force Aozaki Touko to make dolls to extend their lives... there are not many such people, but without exception, they all end in death.
After all, forcing Magic User is no different from committing suicide.
"That's it."
Tohsaka Rin twitched his lips, stared at Touko and asked, "But, Lady Touko, wasn't it always auctioned in London in the past? Why, Fuyuki City was chosen for the auction this time."
She has heard about the auction of the Aozaki Touko doll, which is a doll that can give people another life. Every auction will be snatched by countless people, and even an invitation will be auctioned for a sky-high price.
However, auctions of this scale should basically be held in London, where there is enough power to suppress those who are ready to auction, so as not to rob and fight in the auction house.
Of course, if Aozaki Touko himself is at the scene, it will be the same no matter where he is.
However, as a being of the level of 'Magic User', he would not go to see the scene specially.
That's why she felt very bad about it.
"Well... because it's convenient."
Aozaki Touko looked at the distressed Tohsaka Rin with interest, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Besides, I believe in Rin. As a manager of Fuyuki City's spiritual veins, please be sure to show me the elegance and calmness of Tohsaka Household."
You want to watch a show?
Tohsaka Rin was going crazy. He wanted to press Aozaki Touko on the recliner and slap Touko's butt hard with his hands. Unfortunately, she was just a poor and helpless debtor. She really couldn't do it, so she committed the following actions.
"Lady Touko... you are exaggerating."
She suppressed her anger and forced a smile.
"This situation is beyond my control. It is not a problem that can be faced with grace. If you really want to handle it well, this auction... I personally suggest that it is more appropriate to ask 'Shinji Matou' to handle it."
"Hey, there really is a tacit understanding."
Aozaki Touko tilted his head slightly and said with some humor, "Actually...Shinji also strongly recommended you, Rin. At that time, he had a lot of complimentary words for you, and he seemed to be very optimistic about you."
"... Ma... Tong... Shen... two"
Suppressing her anger, Tohsaka Rin read word by word. It was obvious that she was very angry. If Shinji Matou faced her... she might take out the gem from the box and throw it directly on Shinji Matou's head.
"... I'm just kidding you~"
Aozaki Touko's red lips evoked a pleasant smile, "I won't let you be responsible for this just yet. You will be responsible for accompanying me to the auction later. You don't need to worry about the rest."
"...Lady Touko, you really have a bad taste."
