Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

"Speak, what's the rush to see me about? If it's goods, didn't I already give you enough in advance? What? Did you lose them?"

Aozaki Touko slowly put down her teacup and looked at Ma En with a serious expression.

"I recently received an astrological message."

Ma En raised an eyebrow, showing some interest: "And then?"

Astrological magic is one of the major methods of prophecy in the Type-Moon universe.

Even in the mysteriously declining modern era, the success rate is still very high.

Generally speaking, astrological information is usually accurate.

However, knowing this future will change the outcome.

Since Aozaki Touko would rush to find him because of a piece of astrological information, the content of that information must obviously be related to him.

Aozaki Touko lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly said:

"This message was originally about me; it was a show of sincerity from a prestigious family who wanted to order a prosthetic limb from me."

Maren was not surprised by this. It was not unusual for a prestigious family to give a gift to Aozaki Touko in order to cut in line. Then, he also built an ashtray for Aozaki Touko.

"Because I was concerned about the content, I had another customer have their astrology done as well, and the result was the same."

Now Maren was also unsettled, as two different people had given the same result from astrology readings.

This is no longer a question of the success rate of the prediction, but rather whether this 303 issue can be changed in the future.

What could make Aozaki Touko nervous couldn't possibly be a good omen.

In other words, he will inevitably encounter something bad in the near future, and the outcome will be difficult to change.

Seeing that Ma En had a general understanding of the seriousness of the problem, Aozaki Touko slowly said, "The new neighboring star is already in its waning phase; once its light fades, it will be forever dark."

"Hi~!"

Upon hearing this, Ma En gasped in shock, completely stunned.

I lit a cigarette for myself, took a drag, and forced my brain to get back to work.

What does this prophecy mean?

It's not hard to tell, actually.

The new neighboring star refers to the new people who appear around Aozaki Touko.

This naturally refers to Marx and Engels. Aozaki Touko doesn't have many friends, and she doesn't even need to use the word "new." "Neighboring Star" basically refers to him.

It's already the waning crescent moon, which in astrology means it's about to disappear.

In other words, Marx and Engels' days are numbered.

Upon suddenly hearing that he might die, even someone as strong-willed as Marx and Engels was completely panicked.

As for the last two sentences?

The light faded, which is a bit puzzling. Fading is understandable, it just means it's almost gone.

However, as the previous sentence already stated, Marx and Engels were about to die, because prophecy cannot repeatedly emphasize the same thing.

So what this radiance refers to is still unclear, but in short, it means something is about to disappear.

The last sentence is the result: Eternal Darkness, or rather, the neighboring star or the light, that is, Marx and Engels or something else, is truly gone, completely gone.

However, considering that the prophecy is about Aozaki Touko, this 'light' is most likely not related to Ma En, but rather refers to Aozaki Touko and other things related to her.

However, the final result clearly indicates that at least one of them must be completely eliminated.

This is not going to be easy.

Ma En scratched his head, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was still a little confused for a moment.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Asking questions when you don't understand is a good habit that Marx and Engels also had.

Unable to come up with a solution himself, he asked Aozaki Touko, who knew about the prophecy before him.

"So, here I am, here I come."

Aozaki Touko shrugged, a strange glint in her eyes: "You're an important supplier for me. There's no substitute for such a stable and unlimited supply."

"Well, then what?"

"do not know."

"what?"

Looking at Aozaki Touko, who seemed completely single, Ma En was instantly furious: "If you don't know what to do, then don't say anything!!"

Why the hell did you come here and tell me some terrible news, then tell me to figure it out myself?!

Are you deliberately trying to annoy me? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?

"After all, it's just a prophecy. I don't even know the situation on your side yet, so what can I do?"

This statement left Marx and Engels speechless.

Indeed, a short prophecy doesn't reveal much.

All I can say is, "Riddler, get out of Gotham!"

Prophecy is just a bunch of seemingly plausible riddles, and it doesn't even have a precise timeframe.

It's possible that nothing happened recently, so it doesn't match up at all. Then, after a long period of time, when you look back, you'll suddenly find that some things make sense.

They're pretty much the same as those street fortune tellers; they make their claims as vague as possible, and it's up to the person to believe them.

If you believed that, then congratulations, you've been fooled.

Because those vague statements actually correspond to many things.

For example, the first two sentences of Aozaki Touko's prophecy.

You could say that something bad is going to happen to Mar and Eng, or that he might have a falling out with Aozaki Touko and never speak to her again. That's a valid interpretation.

After all, the disappearance of a neighboring star does not necessarily mean that the person representing that star will die; it simply means that the person has left the life of the individual associated with that star.

The reason why Ma En felt that something bad was going to happen to him was mainly because he couldn't think of any reason why he would break off his relationship with Aozaki Touko.

He was still waiting for Aozaki Touko to provide him with a continuous stream of knowledge, so even if something unpleasant happened, he wouldn't break off the partnership.

Aozaki Touko probably understood this as well, which is why she came to find him in such a hurry.

"So, are you planning to stay in Fuyuki for the time being?"

"Hmm, is there a problem with this?"

"It wasn't there before, but now it's a big problem!"

Marne stubbed out his cigarette with a sigh of resignation, feeling a headache coming on.

He probably knows now what constitutes a bad thing.

Because of Aozaki Touko's appearance, things might escalate in a direction he doesn't want to see.

For example, tonight, let Kiritsugu Emiya bring the Lion King to demonstrate against the Einzberns.

As mentioned before, Einzbern feared Marne's influence because Marne had obtained the title of Primary Color.

Actually, no. Marx and Engels already had a certain level of influence before they received the title.

The reason, of course, is the Grand Puppeteer on the other side.

His relationship with Touko Aozaki had long been known within the magic industry.

When they first met on the black market, they fought for three days and three nights, making quite a commotion.

With the black market nearby, a melting pot of all sorts of people, the news spread like wildfire.

Although outsiders didn't know what had happened between the two, seeing that Ma and En were unharmed afterwards, they began to speculate.

After all, given Aozaki Touko's personality, if you anger her, she'll kill you today and definitely won't let you live until tomorrow.

The two fought so fiercely before, but in the end they calmed down peacefully. There must have been some kind of shady deal between them.

Then, some people who were interested and had the connections noticed it.

After that, Aozaki Touko's doll production increased significantly. Coupled with Ma En's previous sale of materials on the black market, it became clear that the two had formed a cooperative relationship.

Therefore, Ma En was already somewhat famous, and if it was to help introduce him to Aozaki Touko, many people would be willing to help Ma En.

Furthermore, Maren might also bring out Aozaki Touko, and then those who need Aozaki Touko's help will also come, which would be truly terrifying, even more useful than Maren's original color title.

This is why Einzbern feared Marx and Engels.

The relationship with Aozaki Touko alone was enough to make the Einzbern family anxious, but with the addition of the "Primary Color" title, they really left no way out.

And now, just after the Einzbern demonstration, Aozaki Touko has arrived. Is she going to stay in Fuyuki?

What will Einzbern think of this?

You still say you don't know martial arts... Bah! You still say your Tohsaka family didn't plan this all along?!

They just wiped out the Matou family, and now they've brought Aozaki Touko here!

I think your Tohsaka family is full of wolves in sheep's clothing!

They want to bully my Einzbern, this old man who's over a thousand years old!

This is a disaster! It's like mud falling into your pants – even if it wasn't shit, it's still shit. You can't wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River.

This is why Tokiomi Tohsaka wanted Maru to get rid of Touko Aozaki as soon as possible.

If we let her stay any longer, and if someone else sees her, oh dear, she'll definitely be in big trouble.

If Einzbern continues to misunderstand, they might preemptively strike and drag them into a fight to the death.

Ma En told Aozaki Touko the whole story, which silenced her.

She never expected that her arrival would have caused such a big problem for Ma En.

"Then I'll go?"
