Ninety billion yen.
This gemstone related to Aphrodite is rising at a terrifying speed, so every jump in price is a number that makes the poor lady "Tohsaka Rin" suffocate.
And the weight of these suffocating numbers is enough to make people faint.
"... This is too wasteful, Lady Touko."
Tohsaka Rin pursed her lips tightly, making a slight mournful sound, and held on to her elegant smile, "Tohsaka Household already has enough gems, which are enough for me to use now."
"Hey... didn't I tell you that I would give you some small gifts?"
Aozaki Touko's mouth curved with pleasure. "If you feel indebted, Rin, then just go shopping with me later, and help me pick out some clothes as payment."
She seemed to sigh helplessly.
"To be honest, I'm really not good at these things at all, and my aesthetics can hardly keep up with the times."
"Is that so?"
Tohsaka Rin asked in a low voice.
"Well, that's it~"
Aozaki Touko chuckled, glanced at the auction table and said, "Occasionally... I also want to experience fashion. It would be great if Rin is willing to help."
"This... as long as Lady Touko needs it, I can go shopping with Touko at any time."
Tohsaka Rin said this, but immediately felt something was wrong, and added, "These are the obligations in the contract. If Lady Touko needs it, I am naturally obliged to accompany Lady Touko."
"That's right... but if Rin doesn't want to, then forget it."
Aozaki Touko chuckled softly, and then she made a bid to the auction table. "I will offer... 100 billion yen."
As soon as the words fell, the venue fell into silence.
Everyone present focused their attention on the bidder. Although the face could not be seen under the cover of the cloak, they could tell that she was a woman through the curves outlined under the cover of the cloak.
"Is there anyone else bidding?"
On the auction stage, Beo looked at the people who fell into silence. After the customary countdown of ten seconds, he auctioned the gem directly to his owner.
That's right, although the Aozaki Touko below hides the appearance... However, the familiar voice and the connection between the contracts all show that,
That is her master Aozaki Touko.

"You just... bought it?"
Tohsaka Rin looked at Touko and asked in confusion.
She felt a little unrealistic to complete the sky-high price transaction of 100 billion yen with just a casual word. Then, she looked at Aozaki Touko with an unconcerned expression.
Suddenly she realized something clearly.
No, it should be said that she had realized it a long time ago, but she had never really felt it before. After all, the people who often came to her house for food in the past were really hard to imagine how rich she was.
However, now after changing her mind... looking at Aozaki Touko's smiling and calm expression, she suddenly felt a dazzling radiance that she could not look directly at.
That is... the dazzling light named Rich Woman.
It's just too rich.
"Yeah... I bought it."
Aozaki Touko crossed his arms across his chest, rested his chin on his hands and chuckled, "The process of buying things is not very complicated, as long as you give the corresponding price, and I will organize the auction... I will save you some troublesome processes later."
"No... that's, no, it's nothing. Lady Touko is really calm."
Tohsaka Rin opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, and finally had to sigh, this kind of super rich rich woman... has a different thinking model from her ordinary person.
The so-called 100 billion yen may seem to her like buying a fast food.
It should be said that he deserves to be the existence of Magic User.
What a desperate difference.
"... continue the auction."
On the auction stage, Beo picked up the remote control and pressed it, and the Projection instrument played a new picture again.
Soon, a painting appeared in front of everyone.
"This is... the portraits of Third Magus and King Arthur. Although, although the painter is not well-known, both Magic User and King Arthur have special significance."
Beo had a cold voice and calmly narrated the facts. "Whether it is used as a simple collection or as a special Magecraft Mystic Code, it is a very rewarding thing."
It's not a lie, although in the eyes of Aozaki Touko and Artoria, it is just a simple painting.
However, in the eyes of the artist Magecraft, it has a special meaning, just like Christianity's famous painting The Last Supper, although it has no special meaning in the eyes of the person involved.
However, this is not the case for the Magecraft division.
The characters in the painting are all big figures standing at the apex of mystery. If the means are used appropriately, they can use powerful means.
For example, imitate the clothes, tone of voice, behavioral habits, and thinking patterns of King Arthur and Third Magus in the painting. Through these imitations, you can gain part of the power of King Arthur and Magic User.
This method is very common in the Magecraft world, and some Magecraft about angels, devils, and gods have similar principles.
Although it is impossible to be consistent, it is still a very powerful force.
So, this is undoubtedly a valuable portrait.
"It seems... that guy can't hold on any longer."
Aozaki Touko chuckled, not caring that the portraits of himself and Artoria were put up for auction.
When she and Artoria were dating in London, they were stopped by a Lily Party painter who drew a portrait of her and Artoria.
Although the painter vowed that he wanted to stay and collect it himself.
However, now it seems that it was unable to withstand the pressure from outside Magecraft masters, so it was auctioned off.
Chapter 335 Shopping
night.
Fuyuki City business district.
(Am I... on a date?)
Tohsaka Rin thought so uncertainly, and then glanced at the black-haired girl beside him. She was an extremely beautiful goddess. She was not a metaphor, not an exact description of the facts.
The girl walking with her now... can be said to be an ideal woman.
The moment she saw her for the first time, she even felt that her reason was almost dissolved. The extreme beauty of this beautiful girl broke through her natural and strong defense, and she fell into what can be called a state of insanity.
However, it is natural for her to be so rude in front of a beauty that is almost like the goddess Venus.
It can even be said that... if this girl didn't use Magecraft to cover her up at this moment, she could even cause a large-scale commotion. Countless people swarming in could paralyze the street, and even causing a stampede would be a natural result.
Because this girl's beauty is so crazy.
"Lady Touko... why did you become... so beautiful?"
Hesitantly, Tohsaka Rin asked the girl next to him.
Yes, the black-haired girl next to her is Third Magus named Aozaki Touko. That is not a stranger they met for the first time. On the contrary, they have known each other for many years and their relationship can be called close.
Not long ago, Aozaki Touko changed his appearance in front of her, becoming as beautiful as the goddess Venus coming to the world.
And this was what confused her. It was not that she had never seen Aozaki Touko in her teenage years, but Aozaki Touko in this period did not have such magical charm.
Although it seems now...Aozaki Touko's appearance has not changed much,
However, it has an almost breathtaking beauty.
"This... Rin doesn't like it?"
Aozaki Touko paused in his steps and raised his cute mouth slightly, like an innocent girl acting coquettishly towards her lover to express her dissatisfaction.
"Eh... no, that's not a question of whether you like it or not."
Tohsaka Rin felt his heart skip a beat, and immediately his pretty face turned red. She turned away and said, "I'm just... a little curious as to why Lady Touko suddenly became so... attractive."
Her voice became softer and softer as she spoke, as if she was becoming less and less confident.
To be honest, she felt that Lady Touko, who had transformed into a girl like this, was a thousand times more difficult to deal with than when she had maintained her mature and elegant appearance just now, and even her rationality was about to evaporate in front of the girl Touko.
It seems that as long as you hear the voice of Lady Touko, you will feel a feeling of love and joy.
If he were a man, he might have given his eternal loyalty and love.
"Charming, didn't I return to England some time ago?"
Aozaki Touko put his slender hands behind his back, walked gracefully backwards, and said with a smile, "It was during that period that I came into contact with a family that pursues the beauty of Root, and because of some cooperation... I came into contact with some Magecraft knowledge about that family, and it happened that... we were not before. Have you ever bought a gemstone about Aphrodite?"
A devilish smile appeared on her lips.
"So, with a trying mentality, I tried to use the mystery contained in the gems a little bit, and tried with the third power to see if it would have any effect. However, judging from the results... it should be considered a success."
More than successful... simply too successful.
Tohsaka Rin looked at the beautiful girl in front of her and couldn't help but admire her beauty. Even people of the same sex couldn't resist this beauty. Rather, it was better to say that this beauty transcended the so-called limitations of gender.
The pure beauty... is like a black hole that deeply attracts people's attention.
"Lady Touko, your Magecraft talent is really too strong."
She sighed to Aozaki Touko.
With such an easy and short understanding, you can analyze the principle of Magecraft, and quickly reproduce it and use it on yourself, which may even surpass the user's level.
This kind of talent Magecraft... can only be amazing.
"It just happens that... this aspect has some overlap with my original skills."
Aozaki Touko chuckled, slowing down and walking side by side with Rin. At the same time, her aura that seemed to reach Root's beauty began to gradually disappear, and soon she became like an ordinary girl.
Although there is no doubt that... she is also stunningly beautiful, it does not drive people crazy.
"Lady Touko, why should you cancel Magecraft?"
Tohsaka Rin was naturally aware of this scene, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart. It was the regret that such beauty had disappeared, just like seeing the beautiful cherry blossoms wither, and couldn't help but feel regretful and lamented.
"Because... we are going to buy clothes~"
Aozaki Touko explained with a chuckle, "When I go to the fitting room to change my clothes later, I'm afraid that you won't be able to bear it anymore and do some weird things to me."
"... No way!"
Tohsaka Rin was slightly startled, then immediately retorted loudly.
In any case, she is also a Magecraft teacher who upholds elegance. How could she fall into a state of loss of control just because she has direct access to Root's beautiful aura? Even if Lady Touko takes the initiative to seduce her...
Well, that's not sure.
"Don't worry about these details~"
With a chuckle, Aozaki Touko took Lin's slender hand and walked into the commercial street.
Seeing this, Rin was slightly startled, feeling the softness in his hands. He looked around in a panic and found that no one looked at him strangely, and immediately followed him in quietly as if they acquiesced.
at the same time.
In the far corner of the street.
(Sure enough... it's a lie~)
Tohsaka Sakura leaned against the wall in the corner, avoiding his sister's sweeping gaze.
She should have gone home obediently, not disturbing her sister and Lady Touko, and discussing the next Holy Grail War issue. However, because Tohsaka Rin was so poor at lying, she could easily see through it.
So, she quietly prepared to come over and take a look at the situation.
Then, she discovered that Sisters Tohsaka Rin and Lady Touko were shopping together in an intimate manner. They didn't seem to want to talk about anything serious at all. It would be better to say that they were actually dating.
