Chapter 249: Guanbuzi City, where the folk customs are simple
The ideal country away from the world cannot exert an immediate effect in a short period of time, but it is not bad to keep it in the body and subtly change the physique.
Since he accepted the remuneration paid in advance by Emiya Kiritsugu, Lu Xiao is not the kind of person who takes "money" and does not do things.
Einzberen's enchantment is indeed a problem for Kiritsugu, who has lost his magic power, but just like Lu Xiao knew before, Einzberen, who is not good at fighting, is not necessarily very good at the layout of the enchantment, and it should not be difficult to break through.
Just as Lu Xiao was about to ask Emiya Kiritsugu to buy a ticket for a recent connecting flight to Tokyo, an unexpected contact suddenly found Rin.
"That's it, you can go to Tokyo this time and bring Sakura with you."
After the Holy Grail War ended, the contract between Rin and Lu Xiao through the Holy Grail has ended.
Rin, who is far away in Yatsushirodai City, can only get in touch with Lu Xiao, who is temporarily sitting in the Tosaka Mansion, through a landline phone.
Aoi Tosaka, who had just woken up from a coma, was rushing to prepare, and the head of the family, Shi Chen, died unexpectedly, and as the hostess, she had to rush back immediately to arrange Shi Chen's funeral.
Shi Chen's corpse was temporarily frozen by Lu Xiao with runes of Luen, and as long as the perpetual freeze state was not lifted, his corpse would not decay.
Rin received a contact from Kanbuko City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and the contact person was the owner of Garan no Do, the crown puppeteer Aozaki Orange.
The well-informed Orange learns that the Holy Grail War is over from some source, and specifically orders Rin to bring Sakura over to her.
The functions of the dolls made of oranges are very similar to the human body, and they can even be reproduced in a real way, even the magic circuit.
However, Sakura didn't just replace a few parts of her body, but changed them all from head to toe, and it is unknown whether her soul and new body will be rejected.
Since he was stunned by Lu Xiao with a lot of money, Orange naturally wants to defend this rare injustice...... For large customers, active after-sales maintenance is still necessary.
Aozaki Orange has always been generous in spending money, once she encounters a favorite magic prop, no matter what the price is, as long as she can afford it, she will not hesitate to make a decisive move.
"Ha~"
Lu Xiao smiled helplessly: "She shouldn't have used up the money, right?" Such an active solicitation is not like the style of Aozaki Orange. ”
Rin: "Who knows, Sakura will be handed over to you anyway, I will help my mother preside over my father's funeral together, and then I will announce the results of the Holy Grail War in the name of the Tosaka family, so I can't leave for the time being." ”
"After completing the physical examination, you and Emiya Kiritsugu can fly directly from Tokyo to Germany, and send Sakura back with a portal, I need her as the heir of the Maki family to help me fight against Einzberen together."
Kama Taj's portals, and indeed all of the multi-world's teleportation technologies, have a prerequisite before teleportation can be activated.
First of all, you must leave an impression of the destination and coordinates in order to initiate an accurate teleportation, otherwise you may fall into dangerous spatial turbulence.
Lu Xiao had never been to Germany, and his deep impression of Europe came from Italy, and the Italian coordinates of the main world and the moon world were obviously not exactly the same, so they could not be used directly.
Fuyuki is just a small town, and the airport here does not allow direct flights abroad, so you have to transfer through Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
Kanbuko City, where Orange is located today, is one of the satellite towns in the Tokyo metropolitan area, so it's a good time to drop by and take Sakura for a checkup.
Kuto Maiya's physical condition is still not fully recovered, and it is not suitable for long-distance travel for the time being, so Kiritsugu asks her to stay in Fuyuki City's new home after repairing the Emiya family, that is, the Japanese garden in Fukayama Town, which is almost completely destroyed.
The original courtyard building was very old and decaying, and demolishing and rebuilding it was also an option, and during the time Lu Xiao and Kiritsugu went to Germany, Maiya's task was to hire someone to take care of the new home.
One sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also herded.
Lu Xiao simply handed over the reconstruction of the old workshop destroyed by Gilgamesh to Maiya to be in charge of, anyway, the distance between the two mansions is very short, and it will not be too difficult to make overall arrangements.
Originally, Lu Xiao didn't plan to pay attention to this abandoned courtyard anymore, but Sakura, who missed the old ones, hoped to renovate it as a memorial to Leonardo da Vinci.
And Sakura still has some thoughts in her heart, if Aoi Tosaka doesn't have a strong desire to keep her, Sakura would rather move out with Yanya.
……
Before going to Tokyo, Lu Xiao used illusion to make some changes to the outfit on his body.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a general passer-by young man in a T-shirt and jeans, at most handsome and temperamental, and does not look much different from other passers-by.
"Kiritsugu, you book a hotel in Tokyo first, and we'll let you know as soon as we're done."
Although Kiritsugu is anxious, he is after all a magician killer who has been on the battlefield for many years, and he can control his emotions and actions when necessary.
"Okay, but please hurry up, Einzberen should soon get the information that the Holy Grail War ended early."
The Tokyo metropolitan area is huge, and there are many large and small cities around the metropolitan area, in addition to the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Famous cities include Musashino, Hachioji, Chofu, and Tama, and Kanfuko is one of Tokyo's unremarkable satellite towns.
The Fourth Holy Grail War began in the winter of late 1994 and ended in five days.
Lu Xiao and Sakura arrived at Guanbuzi City on December 21st, not far from Christmas Eve and Christmas, and the streets of Guanbuzi City had already begun to be lit up, and you could see Santa Claus models and Christmas trees placed in front of the shops everywhere.
Compared to the core urban area of Tokyo, Kanbuzi City, as a satellite city, is relatively backward, and the folk customs here seem to be much more simple than the fast-paced urban area of Tokyo.
It's rare to be able to go out alone with Lu Xiao, Sakura became more cheerful after leaving Kiritsugu, and the bustling streetscape of downtown Tokyo that she visited before stimulated Sakura, who grew up in the small town of Fuyuki, and her mood seemed a little excited.
“Ass…… Brother Lu Xiao, where is Miss Orange's workshop? ”
The Holy Grail War is over, and it is not appropriate to let Sakura and Rin call themselves job introductions, so Lu Xiao simply told them his real name.
Anyway, he didn't leave a decent legend in this world, and it was impossible for others to target him by his real name, after all, even Leonardo da Vinci in this world didn't remember the origin and name of her "best friend" on that painting.
"Well...... I'll go up high first, Sakura, hold on to me. ”
"Hmm!"
The information left by the orange was very abstract, at least Lu Xiao couldn't understand the simple map like a ghostly drawing.
Turning on the breath and finding a relatively tall building, Lu Xiao stepped on the outer wall and climbed easily with one hand, and soon took Sakura to the roof with him.
"Whew~"
Sakura, who had been covering her mouth, didn't let out a sigh until she landed on the ground, her eyes shining with excitement.
"It's exciting!"
Lu Xiao doted on the cherry blossom and gently rubbed it: "It's good if you're happy." ”
Breaking free from the shackles of Fuyuki, Sakura's personality has undergone subtle changes, more like what a child of her age should be.
Placing Sakura on her left shoulder and telling her to hold on to herself, Lu Xiao walked to the edge of the building and opened the eagle's pupil to scan the entire city.
But this observation made Lu Xiao frown.
'This is ......'
The A-rank eagle pupil can see the direction of the flow and concentration of mana to a certain extent.
There are more than a dozen places in the entire Guanbuzi City that have large magic fluctuations, including the building under his feet.
"Sakura-chan, did you see the name of this building on the standing sign below before we jumped up?"
"Hmmm......"
Sakura tapped her chin with her finger and tried to recall, "Like, Witchjo Mansion?" ”
"Witch ......"
The corners of Lu Xiao's eyebrows twitched suddenly, 'It can't be such a coincidence, right?' ’
