I want to just drift through life in Type-Moon.

Of the five existing great magics, the first magic is untraceable, the second magic is held by the Grand Marshal of the Demonic Path, the third magic is unknown (in this timeline), the fourth magic is unknown, and the fifth magic is held by the Aozaki family.

The Aozaki family, who possess the Fifth Magic, has long been criticized. Just now, Aozaki Touko meant that she knew how to obtain other magic. If those words were leaked, then there would be no place for Touko in the entire magic world.

Even if you return to the Aozaki family's workshop and accept the protection of the Aozaki mage, the monsters lurking in the deepest part of this world will still make their move.

Chapter 255 The Deal of Law (Part 2)

"Don't get so agitated, Lydia," Orange said calmly. "What I meant wasn't that I possess [the Law], but simply that I know how to—"

"Shut up!" Lydia glared at her. "Don't say another word."

Orange looked at Lydia, who was clearly overreacting, with a wry smile. "Oh dear, this is really—just say one more word, I promise one more word will clear up the misunderstanding, okay?"

Orange raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, then looked into Lydia's eyes.

Lydia saw apology and reassurance in Aozaki Touko's eyes. After a long while, she chose to believe Aozaki Touko and sat back down without saying anything.

“I am not telling you how to obtain the Dharma, but how to reclaim the Dharma, which is rightfully yours.”

Hearing what Orange said, everyone looked at Kiritsugu Emiya with a puzzled expression.

"Take back the [Law]? Something that belongs to me?" These shocking words left Kiritsugu Emiya momentarily speechless.

"Yes, I'll tell you a story, in exchange for protecting someone for me. If you give me the remaining [Origin Bullets], along with the manufacturing method, I'll tell you another story."

"Deal." After hearing what Touko said, Kiritsugu immediately agreed without hesitation. He didn't know why he agreed so readily, but an unprecedented feeling made him agree without thinking.

It was as if countless versions of himself were pushing him to speak, feeling that if he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Seeing this, Orange looked at the shadow cat at her feet with a strange expression. The flat cat had an extra layer of colorful patterns, like gasoline poured on water.

Knowing what was going on, Orange kicked it in annoyance, "Put that thing away! Absorb any extra magic power! Don't let that thing activate!"

Shadow Cat gave Orange a pitiful look, then curled up into a ball and crawled under the table.

"What was that just now?" Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head in confusion, realizing that he had been affected by something, but it wasn't a conspiracy. Moreover, the feeling of that influence came from himself, yet it wasn't his own existence.

Originally, Orange didn't intend to explain. From the moment Kiritsugu Emiya agreed, there was no turning back. However, thinking about this world, he realized that he could never fulfill that great yet naive wish. Although he hadn't lied, even if he told Kiritsugu Emiya about the Third Law, this world still wouldn't have the foundation to reappear.

So after thinking for a moment, Orange said, "That was information transmitted from the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers. You just resonated with many versions of yourself."

Kiritsugu nodded as if he understood, then got into work mode and asked Touko, "Time, place, opponent."

"I'll let you know the time later. The location is Kanbuko General Hospital. You can go there first to scout and make arrangements. As for the opponent—"

When talking about the opponent, Orange paused for a moment, "The opponent is undecided, but there is a high chance that we will face the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, and there may be more than one. Oh, right, Guanbuzi General Hospital should become the battlefield, and that is the magic workshop of one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors."

"!?!" Although they had already been shocked several times today, after hearing Orange's words again, neither Kiritsugu Emiya, who had the composure of an assassin, nor Kairi Shishikai, who considered himself to have a strong heart, nor Lydel, who had been pretending to be indifferent, could help but feel fear.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already confirmed that he had a very high chance of facing the Twenty-Seventh Ancestor as his opponent, broke out in a cold sweat.

It is a completely different concept to have a magician as an opponent than to have a vampire as an opponent who is an enemy of humans.

In particular, the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, who are at the pinnacle of the vampire race, are on a dimensional level different from the magicians he usually deals with, both in terms of strength and danger.

Putting aside differences in mana capacity, immortality, and the magic they possess, one must be extremely cautious even when facing ordinary vampires.

In the perception of the Otherworld, humans have never been at the top of the planet's food chain.

Vampires, fairies, mythical beasts, and even fantasy creatures—each of these beings possesses abilities sufficient to annihilate ordinary people. If it weren't for organizations like the Holy Church and the Magicians' Association among humans, this planet would have long since become a paradise overrun by monsters.

However, having already accepted the commission, Kiritsugu Emiya showed no intention of backing down. He nodded to Touko, asked no more questions, and then turned and left.

Now that we know the hypothetical enemy, we need to make a preliminary plan. Not to mention, if we were to fight against what is recognized as the strongest species in the world, ordinary equipment would be completely useless.

Lion Robbery now wishes he could go back to a dozen minutes ago and beat up his past self. If he hadn't stayed here out of curiosity and overheard so many incredible things, he would have been peacefully waiting to count his money.

However, curiosity may bring momentary pleasure, but afterwards, it leads to a morgue. After hearing all this, he knew he couldn't extricate himself. Even if Aozaki Touko didn't ask him to do anything, the young lady of the Archerlot family, who was staring intently at him, wouldn't allow him to live.

Why? Because among everyone present, I was the only unrelated person!

So when Aozaki Touko looked at him with a half-smile, Shishikage Kairi wisely squatted down with his hands on his head, saying, "I surrender, please spare my life!"

Orange looked at the spineless Lion Jie Li with a laugh, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Well, I don't need any more people for the time being. Why don't you ask Lydia?"

Lydia rolled her eyes in annoyance, then frowned at the pitiful-looking Lion Clan Lord.

"Lydel, don't let his appearance and the fact that he's a necromancer fool you. I can assure you he's not a bad person, and he has some very important qualities." Orange introduced him to Lydel as if he were a product.

Taking in a magician who has lost her generation is neither beneficial nor harmful to her.

Moreover, since this person was chosen by Aozaki Touko, he must have some merit. In that case, as a form of venture capital, taking in this guy who looks like a thug isn't a big problem.

Having figured this out, Lydia snorted and gave a reluctant look: "Since it was Aozaki Touko who introduced you, I'll take you in for now."

After saying that, Lydia added, "However, if you don't pass the evaluation during the probationary period, don't blame me."

Chapter 256 Reunion of Friends

Noon on August 11, 1987.

"Good morning, passengers. We have now landed at Tokyo Narita Airport. Thank you for flying with ANA Airlines..."

The flight attendant's sweet voice came over the intercom. The plane was taxiing on the runway and would not set foot on Japanese soil for some time.

Aozaki Touko opened her eyes from her nap. During the time she had closed her eyes, she had been adjusting her biological clock. Jet lag was a very simple thing for her, as a puppeteer.

The plane jolted, and the cabin lights suddenly blazed on. Orange waited for a while, and when she realized that Lydia hadn't come out, she reached out and opened the door to the next cabin.

The servant Archerlot standing guard outside the door did not stop Orange, after all, he also planned to enter the private room to wake his master in a while, it was just that Orange did it first.

Inside the private room, Lydia lay sleepily in the recliner that had been set down; after all, it was still late at night for her.

Looking at Lydia's state, Orange quickly realized why this was happening.

It seems the other person was also a bit upset about this frightening journey. After all, she had revealed so many strange stories, even involving the most important figures in the magic world. As the lord of the Clock Tower, Lydel had to think about all sorts of issues, which is why she came out looking so dazed and exhausted.

"Lydel," Orange called her softly.

Lydia opened her eyes groggily, and the look in her eyes, like that of a newborn animal, greatly intrigued Orange.

Orange took two steps closer, took her hand, and led her out of the first-class cabin.

The strong winds at the airport blew the clothes of the stunningly beautiful Orange and the slender woman beside her tightly against their bodies, revealing their infinitely beautiful curves.

Lydia wore an adorable pink dress, making her look even more charming, like a Barbie doll. In the strong winds at the airport, the two semi-circular breasts outlined on her chest were clearly visible.

Dozens of meters away were numerous huge airplanes and runways, their roars deafening. Amidst this cacophony, Lydia finally regained her senses.

She looked around in confusion at first, then realized that she had left the plane. She looked at the hand that Orange was holding, her brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed.

After the two disembarked from the plane, a black extended Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped below the stairs, surrounded by four luxury cars. More than one person got off, including both men and women.

A middle-aged man dressed in a driver's uniform, wearing snow-white gloves and a large round hat, stepped forward respectfully to greet Lydia and said, "Miss, please get in the car."

Lydia's car was flown directly from the UK; it's a type of car rarely seen on the streets of Japan—in other words, it was smuggled.

Lydia didn't waste any words, nor did she shake off Orange's hand. However, this time she took the lead and pulled Orange into the back seat.

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya, Maiya Hisau, and Kairi Shishikage, who were following behind, were asked to get into other cars.

The first thing Orange saw when she got into the car was the steel plate blocking the driver's cab. With this, the back seat became a separate space. The back seat of this RV was practically a mobile room. In addition to two large sofas, there was a small table, plus a car refrigerator and a small bar... everything you could need.

The back seat and the front driver's seat of the RV were separated by a thick black steel plate. After Lydia entered, she pressed a button as she closed the door. A few seconds later, the driver, who had received the instruction, started the car.

The convoy slowly drove out of the airport and headed towards downtown Tokyo.

The RV was large and very stable; there was no bumpy feeling at all while sitting inside. Lydia poured a glass of orange juice for Orange, while she picked up a glass of water and drank it herself. After entering the RV, the two separated their hands.

After finishing his orange juice in one gulp, Orange stretched and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Lydia replied simply, "Go to the hotel to sleep."

Orange looked at her with a teasing look, "Didn't you get enough sleep just now? Sleeping too much isn't good for your health. How about I, your host, show you around Tokyo?"

Lydia, whose expression had been cold since she got off the plane, propped her pink face up with one hand and fiddled with her water glass with the other. "You talk as if you know Tokyo very well. I know you grew up in the sacred grounds of your Aozaki family since you were a child. Before going to the Clock Tower, you hardly ever went out."

Orange, having been exposed, smiled and nodded in agreement. "Yes, I haven't been to Tokyo many times, so I'm inviting you to explore the city together. Is that alright? After all, I think we might meet some unexpected people if we just wander around."

Hearing Orange's pointed remark, Lydia's heart stirred, and she nodded quietly.

Seeing this, Orange didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up the wall-mounted walkie-talkie and said to the driver, "We won't go to the hotel yet. Please take us to Guanbuzi City."

After the driver replied with "Understood," Orange put down the phone and then looked at Lydia with a smile without saying a word.

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Lydia glared back at Orange, hoping she would give in and speak first. However, things didn't go as planned, and the two remained silent and stared at each other for more than ten minutes.

The convoy quickly entered the city and, after about half an hour, stopped next to the largest train station in Kanbushi City. The extremely luxurious extra-long RV parked on the street immediately attracted the attention of passersby.

After all the cars in the convoy had stopped, the bodyguards quickly got out and patrolled the surroundings. Two of the female bodyguards opened the door of the car where Lydia and the others were riding and respectfully helped us out.

Passersby, who were initially taken aback by the large entourage, immediately wanted to leave upon seeing the Western faces of the bodyguards. At that time in Japan, the public was very sensitive to the attitudes of foreigners.

But when they saw the two stunningly beautiful girls getting out of the car, they were completely unable to move.

Although one of the girls in pink was wearing large sunglasses, her elegant demeanor in her light pink suit, combined with her naturally model-like figure, made her an exceptionally beautiful woman, even in the European entertainment industry.

The other beautiful girl with an Asian face exudes intellectual beauty from head to toe, and her facial features and figure perfectly match the Japanese aesthetic.

However, precisely because of this, everyone knows that the identities of these two beautiful young women are definitely not simple. Apart from the wealth represented by those luxury cars, just by standing there, the aura they exude makes ordinary people feel inferior, or even unapproachable.

"So, what exactly is the purpose of bringing me to a place like this?" Lydia frowned and scanned her surroundings. As her gaze fell, passersby looked away, but they were still unwilling to leave.

Seeing this, Lydia began to feel irritated, and as this feeling arose, the onlookers around her began to disperse as if they had received some kind of command.

Orange ignored Lydel's words and glanced at the clock at the station. It was exactly noon. She had brought Lydel here precisely at the right time. If they waited a little longer, they would meet someone very important.

Since it's Sunday, we can leave right after the grand service at Reiwon Girls' Academy. If we calculate the time, that person should appear here around the same time as usual.

Sure enough, before Lydia could get impatient, something she had been longing for came into her view.

The girl emerged from the underground passage, dressed in a black robe similar to a convent garment, with thick, black hair that was mixed with any impurities, perfectly matching the black attire.

Except for her hands and head, her entire body was covered by the ascetic monastic robes. But even where they were exposed, her fair skin, seemingly oblivious to the sun, was still visible.

She held an old book in her slender hands, her face expressionless, devoid of sorrow or joy, her cold-colored pupils making it impossible to sense any human emotion in this girl.

She seemed out of place in this world; everyone would instinctively avoid her when she walked in front of them. However, not far after she walked out of the passage, she noticed that the passersby's reactions seemed a bit strange.

Then she heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice calling out: "Alice!"

Kuonji Yuju looked up at the other end of the street, where two familiar figures stood.

The person in pink excitedly ran towards her, but stopped after a couple of steps, seemingly annoyed by something.

The still, calm lake of Youzhu's heart stirred slightly after he saw who the two people were.

However, she still walked over unhurriedly. When she reached Lydell, Lydell was blushing, crossed her arms, and turned her head to the other side to deliberately avoid looking at her, but her eyes kept glancing at her out of the corner of her eye.

Orange stood behind Lydia, looking on with amusement, and even smiled mischievously.

Yuzhu knew, of course, that this encounter was orchestrated by Orange, and she also knew Lydia's clingy personality, so she took the initiative to say, "It's been a long time, Lydia."

Upon hearing Yuzhu's words, Lydel pretended to realize what was happening, turning her head with a completely fake expression of surprise. "Ah, it's Alice, what a coincidence."

Orange, who was behind her, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, ignoring Lydia's murderous glare, she pushed her without warning.

Pushed like that, Lydel involuntarily lunged forward and landed on Yuuka. Lydel, who was buried in Yuuka's chest, froze and almost jumped up, but Yuuka, who knew her overreaction well, wrapped her arms around her long-lost childhood friend.

Actually, Aoko has been under a lot of pressure lately. Not only is her teaching of magic to Aoko progressing slowly, but so many things happened a few days ago, involving the Dead Apostle Princess and even a suspected parallel world. For a witch like her who should be living a secluded life, this is not suitable at all.

"Ah, Lydia..." Yuzhu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed after hugging Lydia.

"Alice?" Lydia wanted to push Yuzhu away, but after hearing Yuzhu call her name again in an ambiguous tone, she hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up and reached out to hug Yuzhu.

The two embraced quietly, completely ignoring their surroundings. Passersby all looked at them with expressions of amazement, as if they had witnessed something beautiful. Orange stared at the two with a strange expression.

Although they knew the relationship between the two was unusual, they never expected that such a long-awaited reunion would produce such a strong chemical reaction.

Finally, Orange couldn't stand it anymore and coughed a few times.

Hearing Orange cough, Lydel was the first to react. She pushed Yuzhu away and said, her face flushed, "Don't misunderstand, Alice. You were just hugging me too tightly, and I was afraid of hurting you, so I—"

“Yes, I know. I like Lydia the most.” Yuzhu said expressionlessly, her words instantly crushing Lydia.

Lydia's eyes were glazed over, and she swayed as if she had a high fever, making her female bodyguard look nervous, afraid that she would suddenly fall.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been standing by the car since getting out, took a deep drag on his cigarette, letting it burn completely.

Shishikage Kairi suddenly leaned over and asked, "Mr. Emiya, do you know who that girl is?"

Emiya Kiritsugu, cigarette dangling from his lips, gave Yuusuke a deep look before turning to Shishikage Kairi. "You really want to know?"

Upon hearing his question, Shizi Jieli suddenly realized that he had jumped into a huge pit because of his excessive curiosity on the plane. Now he couldn't help but court death again. Wouldn't he never be able to climb out of that pit for the rest of his life?
