In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

He wanted to see if he could use the information from Aozaki Touko, this fake local bully, to pave the way for his next move.

If that's not possible, then turning your half-joking remarks into reality is also an option.

At the very least, I can't let Aozaki Touko become an obstacle to my actions.

"Considering that you're such a pragmatic person, I'll refrain from killing you for now," said the boy carrying the suitcase. "I have a 'land deed' passed down from my ancestors here, so I'd like to trouble you to help me collect the rent."

Ancestors... Viktuvaire?

No.

"Louis Vester?"

Aozaki Touko instinctively realized something, and at that moment, her eyes lit up.

If she remembered correctly, Luvist did indeed settle in the Far East in his later years—and in the years following the defeat of the Far East, he 'acquired' a large amount of land throughout the country.

He holds the land deeds for many key points where the city's earth veins surge with magical power!

Main Character Panel (as of Chapter 143)

Name: Lucan Touard Luvest (Riko Sugawara)

Job placement:

Attribute: Order/Chaos

ability:

Strength E

Agile D+

Magic A++

Durability D

Lucky B+

Job skills:

Base Creation (A): Standing at the pinnacle of the era as a fundamental ability of a magician.

Item Crafting (A+): Given suitable tools, enough time, and sufficiently rare materials, it is even possible to craft supreme-level Mystic Codes that fall into the category of 'divine artifacts' (not divinely created).

Skills:

Triple Cycle (EX): Achieves a stable cycle of body, soul, and consciousness (thought) through the Triple Divine Realm (Divine Body, Divine Spirit, Divine Thought). Once the three operate simultaneously, they will receive the greatest mysterious and immense blessing, reaching beyond the Divine Realm. (Its true power lies in the near-infinite growth of the EX level; everything seen and heard is a characteristic of the mysterious system it has recorded and mastered, rather than a manifestation in battle.)

Divine Body (A～A++): A husk constructed from the great source of the Age of Gods within the body, comparable to a 'god', continuously generating True Aether of the Age of Gods—its immense magical power, in terms of quality and quantity, is sufficient to form a natural barrier against external damage at all times, and upon release, it overwhelms everything—operating alone is only A, but if operated simultaneously with either the Spirit of God or the Thought of God, its power will receive a one-level boost, reaching A+; if operated in three ways, it becomes a triple cycle of A++.

Spirit of God (A～A++): Sculpted from one's own soul into a 'god,' imprinting and controlling everything. Absolute mystery can be unleashed by praying to oneself, instantly releasing all magical miracles, even grand magic and great miracles. Operating alone, it is only A+, but if operated simultaneously with either the Divine Body or the Divine Mind, its power will receive a one-level boost, reaching A+. If operated in three ways, it becomes a triple cycle of A++.

Divine Thought (A～A++): Resides with 272 thought spirits, using 'circuits' as the divine brain, capable of instantly seeing through, analyzing, and manipulating everything. It is the basic channel for the triple cycle operation. Operating alone, it is only A+, but if it operates simultaneously with either the divine spirit or the divine body, reaching A+, its power will be boosted by one level. If it operates in triple cycle, it becomes an A++ triple cycle.

Mind Magic/Miracle (A～A++): A mystical manifestation achieved through prayer to the spirit of God; whatever you think becomes your law (the effect of mystical correction depends on the number of times the triple cycle is activated).

True Aether Magic Release - God's Hand (A~A++): Extremely compresses and swings the extremely high mysterious quality of the True Aether released by the God's body, enough to tear everything apart and disintegrate everything (the mysterious correction effect is obtained depending on the number of triple cycles, and the maximum output can reach A++ level).

Magic (A): As a magician's basic ability, being rated A-level means reaching the absolute pinnacle.

Spells (A): Based on Yin-Yang techniques within the Spell Spirit system, relying on spirituality, it can still communicate with remnants of 'spirits' even in the modern era.

Miracle (B): Having been a member of the church, his prayer skills as a monk had reached an extremely high level.

...

Noble Phantasm:

Evil Spirit Left Palace (C～A++, for humans): An abnormal, inherent barrier that uses divine thought to reflect the thoughts of living beings, sculpting the mental images of others into world eggs. Once deployed, it can influence the mental state of others—the range and strength of the barrier are determined by the strength of the person it reflects and the number of minds it reflects.

30%·Metatron's Crown (EX to the Boundary): A laurel wreath that binds the soul, formed from six hundred years of faith in French Tantric Buddhism, a mysterious crown that divides more than 30% of the Church's global base. When worn, one will possess mystical power targeting the 'world' itself (all attacks and manipulations will carry a 'world/spacetime' special attack) and the ability to temporarily grant all things the form of 'angels,' commanding them to obey—when worn, everything I say is the will of God—currently limited by its scale, it can only exert 30% of its performance.

Avakarian Dragon (A++ vs. City): A miniature World Dragon pieced together from the upper layers of the remains of Albion, a World Dragon containing thousands of years of mystery. When unfurled, it forms a flame-shaped Reality Marble that replaces the world. The area is not large, but standing within it can enhance all mysteries with the mystery (intensity) accumulated over thousands of years.

That's about it, for reference only.

Chapter 144 Miss Kuonji Yuzu, please repay your rent.

Kuonji Residence.

Located on the summit of Shirokenzuka in the back mountains of Misaki City, it is a quiet place surrounded by mountains and forests and far away from the city. From the outside, it is just a Western-style mansion with a spacious courtyard. It was built more than 20 years ago by the Kuonji Foundation, a wealthy local family in Misaki City, at a huge cost.

The environment here is pleasant, but it is too far from the bustling city center. There is only one road leading up and down the mountain, and indeed only wealthy families who can easily summon enough vehicles to travel would like to live here.

However, the construction of the Kuonji residence was not solely due to geographical reasons.

Furthermore, it is due to its extremely crucial geographical location in terms of 'mysticism'...

"Qingzi, how is it?"

Moonlight slanted down from the transparent glass dome of the mansion, illuminating the spacious courtyard inside and leaving mercury-like flowing traces on the flat lawn.

The rustling footsteps mingled with the seemingly indifferent, flat voice of a young girl, echoing in the silence.

"Of course, they're utterly vulnerable!"

The footsteps and words that came from the front were accompanied by another spirited and energetic voice. A girl stood on the lawn, facing the black boots that emerged smoothly from the shadows at the other end of the courtyard. Her delicate body, encased in a high school uniform, swayed lightly as she raised her fist. The black silk stockings under her long skirt bound her long legs, revealing deep shadows. Her long hair fell to the hem of her skirt, and the bangs that swept upwards accentuated her confident and beautiful face as she grinned. She was very carefree.

At its feet, scattered among the rocks were things resembling biological limbs, but whose interiors were not flesh and blood, but rather strange, metallic, twitching and writhing objects.

"It turns out that even though I'm just a half-baked magician, I can easily deal with these kinds of people."

"To be precise, you're not even a half-baked magician now."

The person who spoke first nodded slightly and slowed their pace. Compared to the lively girl's ever-smiling face, the other girl's expression, like her voice, remained completely unchanged. Her face was excessively pale, yet she had long, jet-black hair as deep as the night. Her slender and petite figure was tightly wrapped in a black dress, which made her exquisitely beautiful face look like that of a witch from a fairy tale.

She approached Aoko and glanced at the shattered 'limbs'.

"Another 'doll'?"

A girl's murmur.

“Yeah, it’s another doll.” Aoko replied, “Sneaky and always only dares to do some shady things—he must be a disgusting guy who’s so shady that he only dares to hide in the basement and play with weird dolls!”

"Youzhu, what have you found over there?"

The fairytale-like witch-like girl shook her head, simply raised her hand, and handed what she was holding to Aoko.

"This is... a gem?" Aoko paused, staring at the shape and internal pattern of the 'gem' in her hand that shone with a faint blue light.

“It’s ‘glasses’,” Yuzhu said.

"!?"

Aoko was startled and quickly let go, letting the 'gem' fall to the ground.

Yuzhu's voice then continued softly: "To be precise, it is an 'artificial magic eye'."

"The other party probably used this thing as a 'viewpoint' to control these puppets to carry out the invasion."

"So, it's not a real human eye?"

Aoko breathed a sigh of relief and patted her slightly heaving chest under her uniform: "You scared me to death."

"I thought you just ran out and killed someone—"

"Is it strange for a 'magician' to kill people?" Ayumi looked at Aoko with a rather strange gaze.

Aoko choked up instantly.

"No matter what."

Yu-joo ignored her and continued to speak expressionlessly. Although she was speaking, anyone who saw her would immediately think she was reciting something in a nonchalant manner: "This is the fourth time."

"Similar actions will likely continue... We must find out the true identity of the other party while protecting the ley lines beneath this mansion from damage."

The fairytale witch bent down and picked up the artificial magic eye that had been thrown on the ground.

"Ah... will it work?" Aoko scratched her head.

"Whether it works or not, we have to do it." Yuzhu lowered her head, but her tone became more serious than ever before: "Whoever it is, we have to find out."

"This is my responsibility, and it is also your responsibility."

"During this time, I will also abide by the contract and teach you more about mysticism so that you can adapt to this world sooner."

"So, adapting to the world... I wasn't mentally prepared at all!" Aoko put down her hand that was scratching her head, her face full of helplessness.

Although he was born into the Aozaki family, which inherited ancient magic.

But in the eighteen years of her life before that, she had lived as an ordinary person who had never encountered anything mysterious.

"Didn't we always agree that Orange, whose talent far surpasses mine, would inherit the position?"

"I don't know if the old man suddenly suffered some kind of strong shock, but inexplicably designated me as his successor and even made you my magic teacher... I'm really not suited to learning this. It's been two months and I still haven't learned anything!"

When this is mentioned, Aoko feels nothing but helplessness.

The pearl at Kuonji Temple remains silent.

He simply lowered his head, trying to find some clue among the broken limbs at his feet...

Boom!

Just then, the tranquil night was suddenly ripped apart from the outside by a loud bang.

Aozaki Aoko paused for a moment, then suddenly met Yuzu's gaze as she looked up—and instantly took a step forward, her legs in black stockings tensing, and scooped Yuzu up, rushing out of the mansion!

Caught off guard by the sudden movement on her body, Kuonji Yuzu: "..."

But knowing how weak Aoko's physical strength was, she didn't want to run out and wait for half a day... The moment she stepped over the threshold and rushed out of the building, her steps slowly stopped, and her eyes widened.

"what happened?"

Realizing that Aoko was acting strangely and going too far, she followed Aoko's gaze and opened her own dark, pearl-like eyes.

That is...

"Oh my, isn't this our Aozaki family heir, Aozaki Aoko?"

The playful tone carried over the evening breeze.

Outside the gate of the Kuonji residence, a figure with his back to the road leading down the mountain and to the dense forests on both sides faced the moonlight, his short, crimson hair fluttering in the breeze, reflecting a blood-like hue.

That is...

"orange--?"

Her older sister was raised from a young age to be the heir of the Aozaki family.

Whether in terms of magical talent or in terms of interpersonal skills, she far surpasses Aozaki Aoko.

Aozaki Orange.

Could it be that...

Did you guess it?

Orange, dressed in a dark green coat, stopped and raised her hand. As if pulling on some invisible thread, the dense jungle behind her suddenly 'stood up'!

Only then did Aoko realize that it wasn't a tree at all.

Instead, they were monstrous beings supported by countless twisting, bizarre joints.

Countless spider-like 'dolls'.

"The one who attacked you, the one who tried to destroy the most important support point of Misaki City's ley lines, was me!"

Aozaki Touko was not wearing glasses.

His words were quite sarcastic: "A half-baked magician's substitute."

"And... Alice hiding in the fairy tale."

...

"Well... I'd love to say that, but unfortunately, I'm not the main character today."

"Originally, I didn't plan to show myself this early—"

Aozaki Touko said this.
