Chapter 12: Aozaki Orange (Part II)
No matter what the product is, private personalization must be more expensive than a uniform product, which is an unbreakable truth in business, and the dolls made by Aozaki Orange are naturally no exception. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
No, it's better to make an exception, Shinji will really have a headache. In his opinion, the more precious the orange puppet, the better, so that the Emiya family owes themselves a lot of talents, and it is best to have so much that they can't pay it off in their lifetime.
Therefore, Shinji waved his hand very arrogantly: "Make an offer." β
Orange found that he was beginning to lose comprehension of the little boy in front of him.
Meeting "Long Yan", self-imposed testimony, and 500,000 hush money all show that he is a shrewd person. However, why would such a shrewd person put on such a posture similar to that of a rich second generation who does not learn and has no skills?
If it's a disguise, it's too much of a failure, or is he a dual personality like himself?
The doubts in his heart did not affect Orange's answer: "First of all, tell me what method you are going to pay." β
"Depending on your needs, I have prepared money, materials, and technology. Shinji's legs were cocked, and he looked more and more like the stupid son of the landlord's family.
"All-inclusive or bring your own materials?"
"It's better to do it all, and if we need to prepare the materials, convert it into the market price and deduct it from your remuneration. β
"Refreshing. Orange smiled slightly, "Since you are so refreshing, I won't procrastinate, a custom doll starts at 100 million yen, and the price will be increased according to the characteristics of the soul, and it will not exceed 150 million under normal circumstances." β
"You said you were going to give us a discount. Shinji folded his hands and propped up his chin.
"This is already the price after the discount. "The orange noodles do not change color," at least add 10 million without discounting. β
"Is 200 million to 300 million yen, high is a little high, but it's not unacceptable, deal. β
Orange's custom puppet service is hard to find, it is completely a buyer's market, and it is not impossible to lower the bargain slowly, but this money is not worth mentioning compared to the goodwill of oranges.
"How do I pay? How much is the deposit? How much do I want money, materials, and technology?"
"A deposit of 20 million, a check transfer is available. β
"Sakura-" Shinji winked at his sister.
"Got it, brother. β
Sakura obediently took out her checkbook, signed a check for 20 million in a unique font inherited from Skaha, and left the seal of Emiya Kiritsugu, as if she were Shinji's little secretary.
"A check from Mitsubishi Bank, payable at any time. β
Orange skillfully dialed the phone number of Mitsubishi Bank, verified the authenticity of the check, and held out his hand to Shinji.
"The commission is officially accepted, and the cooperation is pleasant. β
"It was a pleasure to work with. β
Shinji holds the hand of the orange, worthy of the puppeteer of the crown, these hands are more delicate than anyone's hands, exuding a unique touch, perhaps only this unique pair of hands can make a puppet that is unparalleled in the world.
"What about the follow-up payment?"
"The follow-up payment is not limited to money, the rare materials or technologies you mentioned can be used, and the nine-figure funds in a short period of time will have a big impact on any of them. β
Orange's answer didn't exceed Shinji's expectations. For any qualified magician, money is only a guarantee for magic research, and most of the time, they will choose materials and technology transactions.
"It would be great if this young lady could reveal some information about the third magic. β
Shinji shook his head and refused: "This can't work, Feather's third magic is not inherited, but an accidental product." If I could, I would have learned. I'll change to a different technique, one you absolutely can't refuse. β
The determined look and tone aroused Orange's curiosity: "Oh, so confident, what technology." β
"Sakura-" Shinji snapped his fingers, "Frozen." β
"Okay, brother. β
Sakura stretched out her finger and carved a lune resembling the English letter "i" into her glass.
"Rune magic?" Orange's eyelids twitched, "not many people are willing to learn this kind of magic now. β
Blue magic overflowed from the runes, the temperature of the air dropped rapidly, and even the water in the water cup gradually condensed into ice, and the orange's eyes became more and more serious.
"I've heard that Miss Orange is practicing the Lune Magic at the Clock Tower, so I think you can see the difference. Shinji blinked, and the smile on his lips began to change to some kind of cunning canine.
"Complete...... of the base. β
In the eyes of the layman, this is just a low-level rune magic, but in the eyes of a rune magic expert like Orange, it has extremely great significance.
The decline of Rune magic is due to the incomplete foundation due to the loss of runes, and Orange's greatest contribution to magic in addition to the puppet technology is to magically regenerate the foundation of Rune's magic, that is, the common twenty-four Rune, through the analysis of the existing Rune, and save the Rune magic system.
But Orange knows very well that regeneration is not restoration after all, although she has stood at the top of the magician's pyramid, she still can't restore the "Rune Magic" to the old view by herself, and the power of the Rune magic she has restored will never exceed 50% of the original Rune Magic.
But now, a six-year-old girl shows the original version of Rune Magic, which makes Orange see the hope and future of Rune Magic.
"This young lady, can you use another rune......? Algiz (guard), just use Algiz. β
Sakura looked at Shinji, my brother is doing something very important, and I can't trouble my brother.
Shinji rubbed Sakura's hair, looked at Orange's undisguised anticipation, and decided to make another big shot.
"What is Algiz? Sakura-chan, with EIHWAZ. β
"Wh-" Orange's exclamation was only half spit out before Sakura blocked it back with actual actions.
Both EIHWAZ and Algiz belong to the Guardian Rune, but the former belongs to the original Rune and the latter is a weakened version of the derivation, and the two are not the same.
Sakura was obviously not as relaxed as she was just now, her purple eyes were wide open, and her right hand was meticulously tracing on the table, as if it had used a lot of force, and with just a few strokes, a row of sweat oozed from Sakura's forehead.
The attentive Fujino hurriedly took out a handkerchief and waited until Sakura's hand left the coffee table before helping her wipe it.
Sakura said sweetly, "Thank you, Sister Fujino, brother, it's done." β
"Sakura-chan is amazing. Shinji first complimented, and then made a "please" gesture to the orange, "Miss Orangeβ"
Orange pushes his glasses, and Shinji can clearly feel the refractive index of the lenses change, which makes Orange's eyes converge into one point.
At the same time, the orange's eyes also bloomed with a strange brilliance, which is characteristic of the magic eye when it is opened. At this moment, the orange has been completely attracted by the runes on the coffee table, completely forgetting the existence of other people.
I don't know how long it took, but the silence in the room was broken by a small sound, and following the sound, there was a noticeable crack in Orange's glasses. The crack obstructs Orange's vision and makes her wake up from her own world.
"It's really 'primordial rune'. β
The voice sounded calm at first glance, but underneath this calm was a deliberately suppressed emotion, like boiling water, stopping under the ice.
"I suddenly want to arrest you and study it carefully, there is no restriction on the 'compulsory testimony' that prohibits attacking employers. β
"You can try. β
Shinji spread out his left hand and held up a strangely shaped golden magic weapon.
