He quickly slapped the cigarette butts away from his pants, then turned to look at Aoyama Aohana with a stiff face.
"Don't be ridiculous... I, Magic Crest, are all incomplete, and their value is not as high as you think."
As he spoke, he could even feel that his throat had become dry, and he could not even feel the burns on his legs. Countless ants seemed to crawl out of his heart, crawling towards his limbs and brain, making people unable to control their bodies.
"..."
Aoyama Aohana did not answer, staring at Emiya Kiritsugu.
This sight was as sharp as a knife to Emiya Kiritsugu, and he couldn't help but turn his head away and look out the window. Then, what caught his eye was a beautiful girl with long orange hair.
"The boss is back, I'll go over first."
He forcefully said something calmly, then opened the car door and walked towards the Western Mansion not far away with a somewhat fast pace.
***
Within the Western Mansion.
Aozaki Touko was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at Emiya Kiritsugu with a playful look, as if he had penetrated the deepest secrets of this man's heart.
Beside her, Illyasviel bent over to make black tea and handed two cups of steaming black tea to the two of them. Then Kohaku and Hisui brought some pastries and biscuits and placed them on the table.
"... Thank you~"
Emiya Kiritsugu thanked the maid, then turned his attention to Touko and asked, "Boss, why did you come to me this time?"
"This is it"
Without answering, Aozaki Touko asked with a smile, "Emiya Kiritsugu, your charity funds should be a little tight now, right?"
"..."
Looking at that familiar smile, Emiya Kiritsugu felt his stomach hurt, but he still nodded truthfully and said, "Yes, I feel that there are some difficulties in capital turnover now, and the expenses are like a bottomless pit."
"Now that all your antiques have been sold, you have no source of income."
Aozaki Touko sipped the black tea and showed a sly smile.
"... So boss, are you going to donate money?"
Emiya Kiritsugu twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little slanderous in his heart.
This woman was probably a devil in her previous life, and her words were designed to pierce people's hearts. Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why this woman liked to stimulate him. It couldn't be because he robbed Touko's wife in his previous life.
"No."
Aozaki Touko shook his head and said with a smile, "However, I have a job that allows you to make money, which should alleviate your difficulty in running funds."
"Boss, your orders!"
Emiya Kiritsugu looked solemn and became fierce.
Now he is very, very short of money. Different from chasing the empty goal of saving the world before, now when he starts to actually do things, he finds that basically nothing can be done without money.
The children in the orphanage need to eat, learn to read, and even need better beds. Each of these requires money, and it is not just a small amount of money, but an astronomical amount that makes his brain dizzy.
Therefore, he will never miss any opportunity to make a lot of money.
"Hmm... very good fighting spirit."
Aozaki Touko smiled slightly and said softly, "Your work is still the same as last time. I need some things related to Christianity, such as angel statues, Kabbalah formation diagrams, crosses and other things. In short, the longer the time, the better."
"..."
Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu thought for a while, raised his head and asked, "Is there a time limit?"
"It's quite broad. You just need to send one complete antique every month."
Aozaki Touko picked up a biscuit on the table and said while eating it, "Of course, if you can get something like the Christianity saint's shroud, I will give you some more money."
"..."
It was obviously a joke, but Emiya Kiritsugu thought for a moment and said seriously, "Boss, if you can protect me, I will vote for Vatican's holy relic tomorrow!"
"Are you crazy about money?"
Seeing Kiritsugu's serious tone, Aozaki Touko twitched his lips. "If you are exposed, I will abandon you without hesitation."
"Forget it, I don't want to die yet. After all, there are a lot of children waiting for me to raise."
Emiya Kiritsugu sighed with some disappointment.
Now that he has so many orphanages and so many children in need of care, he absolutely cannot die so easily. Even if his heart stops beating, he will not allow himself to stop life just like that.
"Before you pay back the money... I will not allow you to die."
Aozaki Touko shook his head, and then said with a smile, "However, Emiya Kiritsugu, you look alive now, and it feels much more pleasing to the eye."
"Have I not before?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was a little surprised.
"Before?"
Aozaki Touko stroked his chin and said, "It feels like your eyes are dead, like a desperate child who is drowning."
"Really?"
Hearing this answer, Emiya Kiritsugu was slightly silent, thoughts from the past pouring out,
He was immediately suppressed again, and he stood up and said:
"Goodbye, boss, I'm going to do my mission now."
"Haha... so diligent~"
Seeing this scene, Aozaki Touko smiled happily and said, "I like hard-working employees. Let me give you a little reward. Tomorrow I will donate 100 million to charity." "
This sentence stopped Emiya Kiritsugu from leaving, turned his head to look at Aozaki Touko, and asked in a careful tone, "... Boss... are you donating US dollars?"! "
"Who knows... maybe it's Japanese yen."
Aozaki Touko waved his hand and smiled mysteriously.
"...Then I'll look forward to it."
Emiya Kiritsugu wisely did not ask further questions. After a slight salute, he decisively turned around and left Western Mansion.
He knew that if he continued to question her, he would probably get a stomach ache due to his words, so it was better to leave decisively.
on the street.
Emiya Kiritsugu returned to the cab of the black car, and then, Aoyama Aohana, who had been waiting in the car, asked coldly, "How is it? Is this mission difficult?"
"The upper and lower limits are unknown, it depends on how much we want."
Emiya Kiritsugu started the car and said in a solemn tone, "If we need a lot of money, it will probably be very dangerous."
Hearing this, Aoyama Aohana frowned and said helplessly, "Isn't this definitely very dangerous?"
Chapter 109 Albion's Mausoleum
"That man is your subordinate?"
Qingyue girl's voice sounded, and Aozaki Touko was drinking black tea. Hearing the sound, he looked towards the stairs and saw Lidell walking down the stairs slowly, holding on to the handrail.
This time, she changed into a simple outfit, wearing a cute pink dress, with long rose gold hair hanging loose. She has a cute and elegant temperament. Under the warm light of the living room, she shows the innocence and cuteness of a girl.
"Ah... that's right, you can be considered my subordinate for now~"
Seeing this scene, Aozaki Touko was slightly startled, and then quickly returned to Shinto.
To be honest, Lidell's completely different image from the past really made her a little unexpected and made her eyes light up.
"How beautiful?"
Lidell turned around, her long skirt swayed, revealing a beautiful smile. At this time, she felt like the girl next door who was pure but also contained the nobility of Princess.
"Well, it's beautiful."
Seeing this scene, Aozaki Touko praised calmly.
When Lidell heard these words, she smiled shyly and lightly touched her ear. Then, she walked to Aozaki Touko and sat down. She leaned into Touko's ear and whispered:
"Sure enough, Touko you are not interested in fashion and have a traditional aesthetic~"
She had been living together with Aozaki Touko for a while, and found that Aozaki Touko didn't seem to be very interested in her, although she had no plans to have a super-friendship relationship at the moment.
However, she is also a super British beauty, the first witch in history with over 100 million fans, the world-wide recognized idol with the number one association, and has countless suitors.
This kind of super beautiful girl...Touko actually just treats her as a friend.
This is simply unbelievable and unreasonable, and it is also an insult to her, the first witch in history to have over 100 million fans, and an idol who is recognized as the number one idol in the world.
Therefore, during this period of time, she studied Aozaki Touko's likes.
Then, what she wears today is the result of this period of research.
"... Forget about chasing fashion, it's better to play games if you have the time."
Aozaki Touko rolled his eyes and expressed his feelings bluntly.
She basically spends all her time studying Magecraft. She has no special requirements for what she wears. She only needs to wear something that is comfortable and not ugly.
As for pursuing fashion... she is interested in letting Irisviel and Kuonji Alice pursue fashion.
If possible, give her a different pattern every day.
"Hey, Touko wants to ask you something?"
Sitting on the sofa, Lidell remained sitting duckly, with her fair arms supporting the soft sofa. She leaned forward slightly and came to Touko's side, with a provocative voice:
"I am more beautiful now, or Azu is more beautiful."
"..."
Aozaki Touko turned to look at Lidell, looking down from her bright red lips, his eyes swept across her fair neck, sweeping over a touching whiteness, and she could even faintly smell the rose-flavored body fragrance.
Lidell... Could it be that he was tempting her.
Doesn't she know that she can do anything with her current strength?
If I go too far, I will cry tonight.
"Azu!"
Finally, Touko said with a definite tone,
"Really?"
Lidell pouted, maintaining the seductive posture and collapsed. He fell on the sofa, buried his head in Touko's lap, and said in a somewhat depressed tone:
"Sure enough, in your opinion, Alice is better."
Seeing this scene, Aozaki Touko had no choice but to smooth Lidell's hair, and said with a smile, "You are a big star loved by 100 million fans. The evaluation made by me, a person who does not understand fashion, has no reference value at all."
"... Really~"
Lidell sounded much less disappointed.
"Yes, Dell, you are a big star with 100 million fans, a well-known super beautiful girl."
At this moment, Irisviel suddenly walked out. She wiped her silver long hair with a white towel, walked over to Aozaki Touko and sat down.
"Ugh... ma'am, you are the best~"
Lidell stood up, then jumped forward a little, buried his head on Irisviel's leg, and rubbed it hard.
——Is this using two people's lap pillows?
Aozaki Touko glanced at Lidell on his lap, then picked up the biscuit on the table and started eating it without even noticing.
This level of coquettishness is completely within the scope of her permission and tolerance. Of course, this must be a female, otherwise she will unlock the gene lock now and beat the guy who harasses her and her wife until they can't even recognize her parents.
"Touko."
Lidell suddenly whispered, "Do you know the venue where Grand is awarded?"
"Maybe you know... it's underground at Clock Tower."
Aozaki Touko said calmly, "It looks like a place called Albion's Mausoleum."
"Spiritual tomb?"
Irisviel captured a keyword.
