To become a king and a magician

Angelica's voice sounded somewhat unfamiliar to Miyu. In her memory, although Angelica was not very emotional, she shouldn't be such an emotionless person. But now, she... Miyu felt like she was a doll.

"I......"

She paused, pursed her lips, and said, "My brother... give me back my brother, Angelica. That's all I ask for."

Miyu's older brother—Emiya Shirou.

This is the only compensation Miyu wants.

After a moment of silence, Angelica nodded: "I understand. But Shirou Emiya is still imprisoned in the Einzworth dungeon. If I don't return to that world, I can't give him back to Miyu-sama."

"So, we're going to that other world." Natsukawa Torato looked at Miyu. "So, do you want to go, Miyu?"

"Ok!"

Without needing to say more, Miyu nodded vigorously.

40. My body is at your disposal.

Parallel world, Eindsworth Castle.

Looking at the incredibly spacious courtyard in front of her and the castle standing not far away, the familiar scene made Miyu subconsciously tense up, but she quickly calmed down again.

There are no enemies here anymore. Even if there were, she wouldn't be alone this time. She has two people she can trust most by her side.

After glancing at the castle in front of him, Natsukawa Tora patted Miyu on the shoulder: "Alright, go find your brother, Miyu. Gray, you go with her, Angelica will lead the way."

"I understand. Lady Miyu, Lady Grey, please come with me."

Just like a puppet being manipulated, Angelica obeyed the order as soon as she received it, then turned and walked straight towards a certain place in the castle. Seeing this, Miyu quickly followed.

Watching the two leave, Grey subconsciously turned back to look at Natsukawa Tora: "Brother, what about you? Where are you going?"

“There’s something in this castle that I’m quite interested in. I’ll go take a look. After you find Miyu’s brother, have Angelica bring him to me and tell him I’m going to find Erica.”

"I understand, brother, please be careful."

"There are no enemies left, so what's there to be careful about?"

With a smile, after watching Grey catch up with Miyu and Angelica, Natsukawa Torama summoned a gust of wind to lift himself into the air, arriving at the top floor of Eindsworth Castle in just a few breaths.

In the room on the top floor, a blonde girl in a black dress was leaning against the window, gazing up at the sky.

After smashing the window with his fist, he flew into the room and landed in front of the girl: "I apologize for the slightly rough way you came in. I am Natsukawa Torato, nice to meet you, Erica Eindsworth."

"Or rather, Pandora?"

Pandora.

This is the name of the girl in front of you.

It's not just a coincidence of names, but the real Pandora herself, created by the gods in the mythological era.

Pandora's emotionless eyes, just like Angelica's, fell on Natsukawa Tora. After looking at him for a while, she spoke in a flat voice: "I haven't seen you before. Where is Darius?"

“I have already killed him. He is truly dead, and there is no possibility of him being reborn as a descendant of the Eindsworth family.”

"Is that so? Darius is dead too."

A fairly calm answer.

It was as if the one who died was just a stranger who was insignificant to Pandora. Even though she and Darius had known each other for thousands of years, her emotions and personality had long since collapsed and disappeared over the years, and she could no longer feel any emotion for anything.

"So, what brings you here?"

Pandora asked.

With Darius dead, Eindsworth is now utterly destroyed, and his thousand-year-long dream has been shattered. The castle no longer holds any value—there is no point in coming here.

“Of course it’s for you,” Natsukawa Tora laughed. “After all, you are a replica of the gods created by the gods themselves, you could say you are a ‘doll of the gods.’ As a magician who aspires to learn doll making, I have a great interest in you, this creation of the gods.”

No matter how skilled Aozaki Touko's puppetry skills are, they are ultimately still within the realm of humans. Pandora, on the other hand, is a puppet created by a true god, embodying the knowledge and technology of the divine era—for a puppeteer, this is simply the greatest treasure.

"You want to study me, don't you?"

Xia Chuanhu nodded: "But although it's called research, I won't actually do anything to you. At most, I'll examine your physical structure. I won't use you for experiments. I have more perfect experimental material than you."

This statement naturally refers to the replay device. With it, Natsukawa Tora doesn't need any cost when conducting experiments, and doesn't even need the materials themselves; the replay device can simulate everything.

Compared to the villains in the Clock Tower, Natsukawa Tora's actions were practically devoid of conscience.

After listening to Natsukawa Tora's words, Pandora remained silent for a moment, and then—

"I understand. From now on, I'll do as you please. But, after you've finished studying me... can you kill me?"

Pandora revealed her truest wish.

Having wandered the earth for thousands of years, Pandora, unable to die or open the box, had long lost the will to live. Now, she only wanted to die, to have the death that was thousands of years late come upon her.

"As long as you can kill me in the end, I will have no objection to whatever you ask for."

Okay. I promise you.

Natsukawa Torama agreed: "I know someone with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. You've probably heard of them, right? Eyes that can kill anything. If it's her, I think she could definitely kill you."

“The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception… These Mystic Eyes, which even appeared in the mythological era, have appeared in the world today?” Pandora was slightly surprised. “However, if they really are those Mystic Eyes, it’s not impossible for them to kill me.”

"Then it's a deal. I will give you my body, and you must have the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception kill me after I'm no longer useful to you. Unknown magician."

"No problem. Also, my name is Natsukawa Tora, just call me Natsukawa."

"I see."

--------------------------------

A few minutes later, in a room in the castle.

Natsukawa Torara looked at the familiar man who was sticking to Miyu: "Looks like you brought him out successfully—nice to meet you, Emiya Shirou, I am Natsukawa Torara."

"Nice to meet you. I've already heard what happened from Miyu. Thank you so much, Mr. Natsukawa, for doing so much for my brother and me. I really don't know how to thank you enough. If there's anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask."

Emiya Shirou bowed his head and said.

Xia Chuanhu waved his hand dismissively: "I didn't help you. I've said it several times. At first, I just wanted to get money from the old man Gem. The reason I helped you later was partly because I wanted to meddle, and partly because you happened to be at the center of the incident, so I just helped you out of the way."

"Even so, it's an undeniable fact that you helped us, and I, Shirou Emiya, will never forget this kindness. Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need anything in the future, and I will do my best to help."

"I appreciate your kindness. But before you fulfill your promise, let's resolve the issues between you and Miyu first." Natsukawa Torato looked at Miyu. "Miyu, I congratulate you on successfully rescuing your brother, but what are you planning to do after that?"

"Are you going to just stay here with your brother and go back to your old life?"

“No.” Miyu shook her head. “The past is gone and can never be returned. What’s lost can never come back, and even if it did, it wouldn’t be the same thing. The life my brother and I had before can never be the same again.”

"And...brother."

Turning to Shirou Emiya, Miyu smiled gently and said, "Brother, you wished for the Holy Grail before, that I would live a happy life. That wish has indeed come true. In the other world, I met Luvia and Rin, who were very kind to me. I even went to elementary school and made some friends like Gray... Brother, you must have wanted me to live a life like that, right?"

“I don’t want to leave Luvia and the others, and I don’t want to be separated from my brother again, so... brother, come with me to that other world.”

41. "Betrayed by all and abandoned by friends and family"

At Miyu's suggestion, Shirou Emiya eventually returned to this world with the others and, like Miyu, moved into Luvia's villa as her butler.

However, because of their appearances, Luvia and Rin Tohsaka both showed the same shy expression as young girls in love when they first saw Shirou Emiya, and it took Miyu and Shirou Emiya a while to explain before they calmed down.

After understanding all this, Luvia generously accepted Shirou Emiya's stay and, just like with Miyu, used the Edelfelt family's wealth to arrange all sorts of identity documents for Shirou Emiya in this world within twelve hours.

Although there were some setbacks in the process of obtaining an identity because it was exactly the same as the one across the street, they eventually succeeded by using a magic trick to disguise their appearance.

In this world, Shirou Emiya's name has become [Shirou Edelfelt], and he is Miyu's adoptive brother.

There is reason to suspect that the name is a product of Luvia's inability to pronounce the Japanese word correctly.

But regardless, with proper identification in this world, Shirou Emiya can now live a peaceful life here, just like Miyu. The only thing to worry about is that Luvia might become attracted to her butler, leading to a falling out between the sisters.

However, that's something Shirou Emiya will have to consider in the future, and it's not within Natsukawa Torato's worries. In fact, he's somewhat looking forward to it, since it's quite interesting to see someone like Shirou Emiya, who seems to have a knack for dealing with women, deeply mired in an emotional crisis.

As for the Xia Chuan family, some things have actually happened during this period.

First, there's the matter of Pandora.

Because of her promise to Natsukawa Torama, she came to this world just like Emiya Shirou, and with Luvia's help, she also obtained identity documents for this world, and naturally moved into Natsukawa Torama's house.

There's nothing inherently wrong with that. Besides, Pandora is now just like Angelica, devoid of any personal will. She only wants someone to kill her. Without Natsukawa Tora's orders, she would sit in her room like a statue all day, causing Natsukawa Tora no trouble at all.

But the other person has a problem.

"Lord Natsukawa, dinner is ready."

At the door of Natsukawa Torama's room, Angelica pushed open the door and spoke to Natsukawa Torama, who was sitting on the bed reading a book.

Natsukawa Tora glanced at Angelica and nodded, "Okay, I'll be right there."

"I understand."

Angelica bowed slightly, then closed the door and left. As soon as she left—

[You vixen, you just peeked at her, didn't you?]

Sajou Aika's somewhat displeased voice echoed in Natsukawa Torato's mind.

"No."

[If your voice were a little stronger, it would be more convincing. I never imagined you would be so insecure in front of women. It really surprises me.]

Despite saying that, Aika Sajou's tone was not gloating at all; on the contrary, it was full of displeasure.

The reason was quite simple: Natsukawa Tora had been stealing glances at Angelica.

First of all, it should be said that Angelica is a beauty, a true beauty, the kind of beauty who can kill a man with just a little bit of dressing up. Among the people that Natsukawa Tora has seen, she can be ranked in the top five.

Even so, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but steal glances at her. After all, he was someone who had eaten meat in his dreams, so he still had that much self-control.

But ever since Luvia and Rin Tohsaka used her as a handbag carrier and took her on a tour of the new capital, things have changed drastically.

Out of interest, while in Shinto, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia bought Angelica several outfits that could kill any man, such as a gothic dress that accentuated the upper body and a backless sweater that, for some reason, was being sold in a regular department store.

There's nothing wrong with just buying it.

The worst part is that Angelica came back wearing it, and even after returning, she changed into that backless sweater in front of Natsukawa Torato at Ruby's urging!

It's true that Natsukawa Torato has eaten meat, but that was in a dream! In reality, he's still a 100% virgin! Encountering this extraordinary anti-virgin weapon, he was instantly annihilated into dust!

Since then, Natsukawa Tora has been unable to look Angelica in the eye, even though she is now dressed in a maid outfit that covers her completely. When he looks at her, Natsukawa Tora will automatically think of that backless sweater.
