Simultaneously traversing from Type-Moon

A young woman's voice immediately came from inside the door, sounding somewhat hurried: "Coming, coming—who is it?"

The door opened. Du Can saw the person who opened the door clearly: about 1.6 meters tall, with long brown hair, blue eyes, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, and looking very casual and easygoing.

When the woman saw Du Can, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Who are you?"

"I'm here to commission a doll from Ms. Aozaki Touko," Du Can said politely. "Are you her?"

Upon hearing the name "Aozaki Touko," the woman's face immediately showed obvious disgust, as if she had swallowed several live flies.

She wrinkled her nose, her tone a little impatient: "You're looking for Orange? She's not here. And she probably won't be back for at least the next ten years. I suggest you look somewhere else."

“Since you’re not Ms. Aozaki Touko,” Du Can said unhurriedly, “then you must be her younger sister, the current Fifth Magician—Ms. Aozaki Aoko, right?”

Before coming, he did his homework: the Aozaki family has two sisters. The older sister, Aozaki Touko, is a genius puppeteer who is good at making puppets; the younger sister, Aozaki Aoko, is the current generation's magic inheritor and has mastered the fifth magic, one of the five great magics.

In fact, Du Can knew about Aozaki Aoko not only through intelligence in this world, but he had also seen her in his memories.

That was a meme titled "Starting with 100 NP in debt".

Upon hearing this, Aozaki Aoko's eyes narrowed slightly. The next second, her long hair instantly turned a fiery red, like flames.

"Huh?" After her hair turned red, Qingzi suddenly looked puzzled and stared at Du Can for a few moments.

Then she said something that startled Du Can: "Sir, you're not from Earth, are you?"

"How could that be?" Du Can said without changing his expression. "I am a pure Earthling."

He is indeed an Earthling, but in his previous life he was an Earthling from another Earth.

This mage is quite skilled; he didn't display any power, yet the other party sensed something was wrong. However, their judgment was off-target.

Aozaki Aoko stared at him for a few more seconds, then waved her hand dismissively: "Never mind, I can't tell. Let that old man worry about it."

Her hair returned to its original brown color.

“Sir, if you’re looking for Orange, I suggest you go to the neighboring city of Kanbuko, or to Fuyuki City,” Aoko said. “She might be in one of those two cities.”

"Thank you for informing me, Miss Qingzi." Du Can nodded, but showed no intention of leaving. "However, rather than finding Ms. Chengzi, I'd like to know something else."

Aozaki Aoko immediately became wary: "You want to know about magic? Then don't ask. I don't want to talk about it because I don't know either."

"A mage who doesn't know magic?"

"I can only use it." Qingzi spread her hands, her tone frank. "As for what it is specifically, I'm only half-knowledgeable."

Du Can chuckled: "Alright, it seems magic is not for me for the time being."

Aoko looked at him seriously and said something that seemed to have a hidden meaning: "I think someone like you doesn't need to pursue magic. Although I don't know your background, your power is absolutely undeniable. You just need to develop your potential, and the result will definitely not be worse than mastering magic."

"Thank you for your guidance, Miss Qingzi," Du Can said sincerely.

“Oh, right,” Aoko suddenly remembered something, “I don’t even know your name. You know my name, but I don’t know yours, that’s not fair.”

Du Can's eyes darted around, and he casually said a name: "My name is Emiya Shirou."

Aozaki Aoko paused for a moment, then her face darkened. She clicked her tongue and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? I may not have met that kid, but I've heard the name before. Don't impersonate someone else, okay?"

Du Can paused for a moment, then said, "My name is Xiao Yan."

"Xiao...Yan..." Qingzi read it once, then nodded, "Okay, I understand, Mr. Xiao Yan."

Chapter 33 Kanbuko City, Aozaki Touko

Aozaki Aoko checked the time.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, would you like to come in and have a seat?"

Du Can shook his head.

"No, I'll go and complete the task first."

Afterwards, Du Can said goodbye to Aozaki Aoko.

Aozaki Aoko watched Du Can walk away, her eyes gleaming: "He can't see the past, nor the future. He's like he doesn't exist on the timeline. Maybe he doesn't even exist in a parallel world. The very existence of this person is a singularity. If we expand his influence, the whole world might be changed by him."

Aozaki Aoko thought that such an existence might lead the world's history in a different direction. It might help human history overcome future disasters, or it might lead human history down the wrong path, ceasing to develop or even regressing.

"Never mind, we can't see it now anyway. Let's wait and see how it goes. Right now, I'll go talk to Youzhu and the others, and then continue my trip."

The girl named Aozaki Aoko was just visiting home today; she usually travels all over the world.

……

Du Can left Misaki City and came to Kanbuko City, which is next to this city.

Along the way, the fare skyrocketed, and the driver kept praising him as a hero for daring to take a taxi outside the city limits.

Du Can was a bit speechless. He decided to save Ye Sizhen some money on taxi fares from now on, otherwise the taxi fare alone would drive her crazy.

Du Can arrived in Guanbuzi City.

Then, he didn't know where to go.

Aozaki Aoko only said that Aozaki Touko might appear in Kanbuko City, but did not specify her exact address.

"Finding someone is a bit troublesome. How about we try the magic trick we just learned for finding our way?"

Du Can took out an ancient compass from his backpack, which was the very thing he had obtained from the tomb raider last time.

Previously, the tomb raider tracked him using a compass. It was only because he moved to the vicinity of the Spiral Pavilion that those people dared not make any rash moves, otherwise a fight would have broken out long ago.

Du Can also learned how to use a compass to find people.

However, while this method of finding people is highly effective at finding ordinary people, it is impossible to obtain an accurate address if the magician has interference methods.

Du Can knew the exact address before, so he didn't use this uncertain method, but now he has no choice but to try.

Du Can held a compass in one hand, made a hand seal with the other, and then uttered the incantation: "The immortal points the way, tracking for ten thousand miles."

Magic was poured into the compass, and immediately the pointer on the compass began to rotate, then pointed southeast.

"It should work."

Du Can moved quickly in the direction indicated by the compass, walking through street after street.

Along the way, many passersby saw Du Canqi's peculiar behavior, but none of them found it strange. Although Japan is not as free as the United States, strange things are not uncommon. It's just a person walking around with a compass, which is not surprising.

Du Can walked through the streets and finally arrived in front of an unfinished building.

"Here? Is there something wrong with the compass?"

Du Can looked at the unfinished building in front of him and wondered if Ms. Aozaki Touko would live in an unfinished building that was abandoned halfway through construction.

Du Can decided to take a look anyway, because he did indeed feel fluctuations of magic here.

He went up the stairs, climbing each floor one by one.

Finally, he felt himself cross a magically constructed barrier, and the scenery before him changed instantly.

The rest of this unfinished building is bare; even the doors and windows haven't been installed, and the paint hasn't been applied.

Only within this small area behind the barrier was the decor luxurious, resembling the office of a large company boss.

Du Can glanced over and saw a woman sitting in a chair behind a desk, smoking.

The woman was dressed in a smart white-collar outfit, had orange hair and orange eyes, and wore glasses.

After seeing Du Can, she sized him up carefully to make sure he wasn't penniless. Then, she gave him a professional smile and said, "Welcome, guest. I suppose you didn't make an appointment before. How did you find this place? Was it a friend's recommendation? Or did you find out by chance?"

Du Can confirmed that this should be Aozaki Touko.

Touko Aozaki is a famous puppeteer in the magic world. It is said that the puppets she makes are so lifelike that they can be mistaken for real people.

In addition, Du Can also recalled a description of her that he had seen in his previous life.

【The Crimson of Wounds】.

It is said that anyone who mentions this title is likely to die.

Du Can thought for a moment, then said, "It was recommended by your sister, Miss Aozaki Aoko."

"Aoko..." Upon hearing this name, Aozaki Touko's smile became somewhat forced. "She actually recommends clients to me?"

"No, that's not it. I just went to your house, but I couldn't find you. Your sister said you might be in Guanbuzi City, so I came here."

After hearing this, Aozaki Touko breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it. How could she possibly care about her sister? If she really did that, I would suspect that she was trying to mess with me."

"...The relationship between you sisters is truly peculiar..."

Du Can was speechless. Was this the attitude between sisters? It sounded more like enemies.

Aozaki Touko waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about that. Sir, you must be looking to buy dolls from me, right? How many do you need? And what price range are you looking for?"

Du Can walked over to Aozaki Touko's desk, placed an A4 sheet of paper on the desk, and said, "I'm just doing proxy shopping for others. Take a look at the requirements written on the paper."

Aozaki Touko flipped through the paper, which was covered with a large amount of information.

"Oh? Such high standards? You seem to be an expert. However, the higher the standards, the higher the price..."

Aozaki Touko nodded, planning how much money she would charge this time.

Du Can took out a check from his pocket, which had several zeros written on it.

"This is the deposit. After completion, just call the phone number provided on the paper, and the other party will pay the balance."

Looking at the number written on the check, Aozaki Touko did some mental calculations and realized that the deposit alone was enough to cover the cost of materials.

"Okay, let's sign a contract then."

"I'm just a purchasing agent; you should go find someone who pays you and sign a contract."

“I also have to sign a contract with the purchasing agent. If they change their mind and don’t want to pay, I’ll ask you for the remaining balance.”

Du Can was speechless, thinking that being a personal shopper was so troublesome. He should have just brought Ye Sizhen over and let them trade face-to-face.

Therefore, Du Can began to sign a contract with Aozaki Touko.

This contract possesses magical power; it represents a concept of constraint and contract, and violating its terms will result in certain penalties.

However, Du Can felt that the contract was almost as good as not binding him at all.

So, Du Can had a sudden inspiration and changed his home address and name. He filled in Xiao Yan as his name and a public toilet address as his home address, but he kept his own phone number.

Aozaki Touko carefully reviewed the contract, confirmed that she found no problems, and then signed her name.

"Therefore, the contract is established."
