"What's the matter?"
There was a cold, slightly unhappy voice, and you could vaguely hear some swallowing sounds. This was probably Aozaki Touko and they were having a tea party.
"Boss, is there someone here who wants to see you for medical treatment?"
Emiya Kiritsugu answered truthfully.
"Who?"
"This time we will share the spoils with one Executor."
"That?"
"He's with me now."
Emiya Kiritsugu turned to look at Kirei Kotomine. Seeing this, Kirei Kotomine decided to speak and report his situation to this unknown woman, hoping to get an answer.
"It's you, Kirei Kotomine."
Before she could speak, Yuanpan was the first to hear a female voice.
"You know me?"
Kirei Kotomine was a little surprised.
"Well, I know you, but you don't."
Aozaki Touko said coldly, and then said, "I know roughly about your situation, and I can confirm that it can be treated, but what price will you pay?"
Chapter 123 The emotion called happiness
United Kingdom
London, Lidell Western Mansion.
"Well, I know you, but you don't know me."
Aozaki Touko was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed in her pajamas. She stared at the shadow appearing on the disk, and said with a smile, "I know about your situation, and I am sure it can be treated, but what price will you pay?"
The picture that appeared on the disk showed that in addition to Emiya Kiritsugu and Aoyama Aohana, there were also two Holy Church and Executor. One of them was particularly familiar to her.
Mage's Priest named 'Kirei Kotomine'.
Human beings who are born with emotional defects, born evil people who feed on evil.
There is no way to react to positive feelings, and there is no way to fill the hole in his heart with positive feelings. Only the evil things that are despised by human beings can make him react to them and feel happy.
Of course, she doesn't think this is Kirei Kotomine's fault, because it is an inherent flaw.
"If you want money, I can give you all my savings."
Kirei Kotomine said firmly. This is not a lie. For him, as long as he can fill the hole in his heart, it is worth spending all his savings.
"Really~"
Aozaki Touko smiled slightly and said with a smile, "However, it is not easy for me to take action. Even if you have a disease, it will take a lot of energy to cure it."
"So, we need at least 10 billion U. S. dollars... Well, you probably can't come up with it, so let's change it to 1 billion U. S. dollars."
"If you can spend a billion dollars, then I will help you fill the hole in your heart."
That's right, if Kirei Kotomine can really come up with a billion dollars, she will find a way to distort the existence of Kirei Kotomine, which can also be understood as adding a plug-in and installing a plug-in that can react to positive emotions.
"Hehehe, you didn't give me a discount back then."
At this moment, a seductive female voice sounded, and Altrouge showed a dissatisfied expression. She stretched out her tongue to lick the blood from her lips, but her scarlet eyes were seductive.
She had been sucking Aozaki Touko's blood in the room before. Even if the message came from another country, it did not shake her attention until Aozaki Touko gave people a discount on medical expenses.
This behavior made her feel like she was being treated differently.
"Because you can really spend so much money."
Aozaki Touko turned around and said to Altrouge, "Actually, I have already given you a discount. If you want to get the little money I mentioned, you can easily take it out."
"——Yes, I believe it for now."
Altrouge pursed her lips and smiled, then flipped up her long black hair by her ears, lowered her head slowly, and bit Touko's fair neck. Her fair and delicate hands hugged Touko's waist, and she gently began to drink blood to heal her wounds.
"... I'm sorry, I can't afford a billion dollars."
There was a long silence at this moment, and Kirei Kotomine replied in a depressed tone.
Hearing such sky-high treatment fees made him feel quite cold. Even if he worked hard all his life, he would not be able to earn so much money. In a sense, this was not very different from outright rejection.
"Hey, Miss Miracle Doctor, you are only responsible for proposing the price, but at least you have to explain why it is so expensive."
The rogue priest broke into Yuanpan's observation range, picked up Yuanpan, opened his eyes wide, and said in a very unhappy tone, "Otherwise, it would be easy for me to misunderstand. It will cost you a billion dollars in medical expenses to treat a cold!"
"... Well, if I want, I can charge a billion dollars for a cold."
Looking at the rogue-looking priest, Aozaki Touko did not feel angry and explained with a smile, "Now the initiative is in my hands. I have the final say on the price. If you don't want to be treated, you can choose to refuse to find another doctor."
"So, this beautiful lady, please at least tell me why it is so expensive."
Rogue Priest smiled bitterly, "It's not that we don't want to pay, but at least it makes it worthwhile for us to pay one billion US dollars. If we think it's worth it, we will also find ways to make money."
"Well... it's a little troublesome to explain."
Aozaki Touko frowned and thought for a while, then said, "His problem involves something more fundamental. It may lie in the origin, or in the soul, or it may be an innate defect of the body... However, the most likely thing is that he has all these problems, and he is not born with the ability to empathize with people's emotions well."
"This sounds a bit mysterious."
Rogue Priest scratched his head, feeling a little unclear.
However, what this girl should say is that her colleague is born with a disease.
Emotional deficiencies exist before birth.
"Because I haven't been diagnosed yet."
Aozaki Touko said with a smile, "If you want to know the specific reason, wait until you come up with enough chips. However, I can now let you experience the treatment effect in advance."
"Can I still try this thing beforehand?!"
Rogue Priest twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, although it is not a radical cure, it is still a very simple thing for me to let him experience the emotions of normal people."
Aozaki Touko replied firmly.
"Then let's try it."
Hearing this, Rogue Priest put down the disc in his hand and turned back to his position.
Then, the next moment.
The put down disk suddenly levitated, and two fluorescent tentacles stretched out and swung a few times in the void. After a while of experimental movement, the disk floated in front of the besieging Kiritsugu.
"Boss, what's the matter?"
Emiya Kiritsugu swallowed, feeling that something was not going well.
Everyone present turned their attention to see what kind of operation the unknown boss planned to perform. Was he to remotely control the disc to perform a high-end surgery, or was he planning to command Emiya Kiritsugu to perform treatment.
"Well... you still Kirei Kotomine, take off all your clothes except your underwear."
The girl's cold voice sounded from Yuanpan.
"..."
"..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present felt a little dumbfounded. They did not expect that the speech would be so explosive. Although they could not understand that doctors need to remove obstructive clothing when treating diseases, they were still very surprised when they suddenly heard it.
"Take it off quickly!"
On the disc, the girl's cold voice sounded again.
Then, Kirei Kotomine, who had been silent all this time, began to take off his priest uniform without any hesitation. For him, as long as he could fill the hole in his heart, it was not impossible for him to run naked on the street.
Seeing this, Emiya Kiritsugu twitched his lips and started to take off his clothes.
soon.
The two of them had finished taking off their clothes except for a pair of underwear.
"... it hurts a little, please bear with it."
Touko's indifferent voice sounded from the disk, and immediately the two fluorescent tentacles cut open the skin of Kirei Kotomine and Emiya Kiritsugu, carving strange patterns whose meanings were incomprehensible.
"Okay, Kiritsugu, think about the children in the orphanage."
Soon, Aozaki Touko said after finishing drawing the control disk.
When Emiya Kiritsugu heard this, he subconsciously recalled the orphans he had adopted, and he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling of happiness in his heart. At the same time, Kirei Kotomine, who had a dull expression on his face, suddenly froze.
At this moment, he felt unusual emotions.
Yes, it was a completely unfamiliar and abnormal emotion. He could not accurately describe this feeling, but the hole in his heart was filled by this abnormal emotion at this moment.
He had never experienced this feeling before, it was unprecedentedly new and strange.
However, at this moment he felt undoubtedly happy.
Yes, he immediately understood what this kind of empty feeling in his heart was filled with.
That's what people keep saying, but he has never experienced emotions.
The emotion called [Happiness].
It turns out that human emotions are such a good thing.
It turns out that what he has been pursuing is so noble and beautiful.
Did it turn out that he had been living in hell before?
"..."
On the other side, Emiya Kiritsugu also sensed something. It was a hollow heart coming from the other side, like a glass bottle, empty and carrying nothing.
I see, this man named Kirei Kotomine has a hole in his heart.
Chapter 124 Emotional connection
Finland.
Helsinki.
Inside the castle away from the city.
(How should I put it, it feels so perverted.)
Aoyama Aohana was sitting on the sofa, her gaze became subtle. Within her field of vision were two men wearing underwear, their eyes locked with each other, with a tacit understanding that outsiders could not understand, as if their hearts had overlapped.
"——Che Guevara, you are such a happy person."
At this time, Kirei Kotomine said to Emiya Kiritsugu, "The emotions flowing in my heart are actually yours. It's such a wonderful feeling."
He could feel the man opposite him burning with torch-like emotions in his heart. The heat and light emitted by this emotion actually filled the hole in his heart. What a happy person could fill the hole in his heart.
"——Kirei Kotomine, you are such an unfortunate person."
Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes and said, "The emptiness and emptiness flowing in my heart must be yours. It really reminds me of bad memories."
He could feel that the man opposite him felt like a desert in his heart. It was a world that had been lifeless from the beginning, with desolation and emptiness occupying the absolute mainstream.
"... If you want to share your thoughts, let's wait until later."
At this moment, Aozaki Touko's funny voice came from the disc. "I will explain the situation a little bit, and I suggest you listen carefully."
After the words fell, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kirei Kotomine came back to their senses and turned their gazes to the disk suspended in the void, waiting for Touko to explain the current situation, although they basically knew what was going on without explaining it.
"Emotional Link, I linked your relationship status together."
The rational voice of the girl came from Yuanpan: "Of course, this does not include memories, it is just a simple emotional connection. The emotional states emerging in your hearts will all share the same feelings with each other, whether it is pain or happiness, they will be communicated to each other within a range of three hundred meters."
After hearing this explanation, no one was surprised.
But, the next moment.
"Of course, although you can share feelings with each other, because I have not set this function to be turned off, you must pay attention to each other's standards."
The girl's suppressed laughter came from the disk. "If you start to vent your emotions during the day or night, the other person will also feel it, which will cause trouble to the other person. So if you stay together for a short time, please live an abstinent life for more than three months. Then the Magecraft I carved into it will become invalid."
