Chapter 341 Broken Claws
Broly doesn't know any magic from the Type-Moon world, but he's good at using his fists and feet. It was only because Rin Tohsaka stopped him that Asagami Yasuzo was beaten up.
The boy looked at Rin Tohsaka, wanting to know what the girl's plan was. However, after thinking for a while, Rin Tohsaka chose to retreat for the time being.
"Master Asagami, my sealing magic will remain effective for a while longer. I hope you can give me some time before the sealing magic wears off."
"Give you some time, but what can you do?"
"I will find a way to persuade you and give you a condition that you can't refuse."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Do you agree?"
Rin Tohsaka didn't argue; she just looked at the middle-aged man in front of her.
"Anyway, it will take some time to prepare for resealing the Demon Eye..."
After thinking for a while, Asagami Kōzō agreed.
However, he only gave Rin Tohsaka one week.
A week later, if Rin Tohsaka is unable to persuade him or change his mind about not accepting help from outsiders...
Then, the Asagami family will reseal Asagami Fujino's Mystic Eyes in their own way.
"Fujino, since you've temporarily lost your sight, I'll have my secretary take you home, and then have your mother call the school to ask for a week's leave for you."
Asagami Yasuzo stopped his stepdaughter from leaving with outsiders. His female secretary stepped forward and, sensing the girl's reluctance, Broly frowned and prepared to act again, but was stopped by Tohsaka Rin.
"Fujino, explain your thoughts to your mother. It will take two or three days, or at most a week, to change your father's mind."
Rin Tohsaka comforted Fujino Asagami, putting the blind girl at ease, before calling the others to leave together.
After leaving the construction company and reaching the street, Sakura asked, somewhat puzzled, "Sister, why didn't you let Broly take action? Wouldn't it have been faster to change Fujino's father's mind that way?"
Broly also looked over with some confusion. Apart from Ryougi Shiki and Kokutou Senka, who were unaware of the boy's terrifying power, everyone else looked towards Rin Tohsaka.
"Using force to threaten someone into changing their mind might be more efficient, but what happens to that girl afterward?"
Rin Tohsaka countered by saying that her mother was still somewhat intimidated by Broly because Broly had almost killed her father back then.
If the Asagami family treats Asagami Fujino as a tool and is heartless and ungrateful, then such a family is better off gone.
However, after the initial probing, it became clear that although the head of the Asagami family did not value the girl, he did, to some extent, consider Asagami Fujino a member of the family and was wary of her coveting the girl's demonic eyes as an outsider.
Asagami Fujino has a bad relationship with her stepfather, but still has feelings for her mother. It's easy for Bro to force the man to change his mind, but dealing with the girl's interpersonal relationships afterwards will be very troublesome.
Judging from her own experience, Rin Tohsaka was not in a good mood when she saw her mother's fear of boys.
If you're in a bad mood, you'll earn fewer happiness points. So, she stopped the boy from taking action not for the girl's sake, but for the boy's happiness.
Rin Tohsaka's reasoning that "hitting someone will ruin the girl's family relationships" was accepted by those around her, but problems arose as a result.
"If you don't intend to use force, how do you plan to persuade the head of the Asagami family? He's a stubborn fellow."
Aozaki Touko was somewhat curious; she didn't think that Asagami Yasuzo could be easily persuaded with words.
"Didn't the Asagami family take on the Asagami family's debts? Have those debts been paid off yet?"
Rin Tohsaka suddenly asked.
"Probably not. That's a debt that could bankrupt the Asagami family, one of the four great families of exorcism, and force them to voluntarily relinquish their land and merge into a branch family."
Aozaki Touko answered.
"Since the debts aren't fully repaid, that makes things easier, Miss Aozaki. May I ask you to investigate the identities of those owed money and their relationships with the Asagami family?"
"What, is Ms. Tohsaka planning to take over those debts and become a creditor of the Asagami family?"
"In this world, besides force, money can also change people's minds. Coincidentally, my family is relatively wealthy."
If Tokiomi Tohsaka hadn't died, and with the Tohsaka family's vast network of connections still intact, Rin Tohsaka could mobilize an astonishing amount of wealth.
"My apologies, so you're a money-powered individual. However, I must remind Miss Tohsaka that while the Asagami family's assets may not match those of the Tohsaka family, they are still quite powerful. Your wealth may not be enough to subdue the head of the Asagami family."
"If that doesn't work, we can just have Broly beat them up later."
The reason for not letting the boy do it is that there might be an optimal solution, but if an optimal solution cannot be found, then the boy will have to do it.
Anyway, even after her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, was beaten up, she still got along well with Broly. At most, she was a little upset when she saw her mother showing fear towards boys.
"Sister, what are you doing..."
Sakura hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Letting him do the work is the minimum guarantee, while my approach is to aim for the maximum, so that the new members who join will be happier in the future."
After explaining, Rin Tohsaka got into Touko Aozaki's car: "You guys go eat first, I need to go to the business investigation company for a new commission."
"Flowers, would you like to have dinner with us tonight?"
Sakura asked the girl next to her.
"Oh, no need, my parents said they were going to cook me a big meal."
Black tung flowers quickly waved their hands.
"By the way, Sakura, your older sister is so cool."
Having watched this far, Kokutou Senka felt that Tohsaka Rin was very mature and had a very organized way of handling problems.
"Then I'll have Qiulong take you home first."
Ryougi Shiki said that her family didn't prepare any fancy meals for her, and she would be eating alone in her room anyway, so it was better to eat outside with Broly and the others.
After delivering the black tung flowers home, Broly and the others decided to have a barbecue dinner that night. They found a popular barbecue restaurant in the city center and booked a large private room.
"Sister, we're here..."
Sakura sent Rin Tohsaka the restaurant's exact location via her phone, and Broly ran out to prepare to bring Taiga Fujimura over.
"How about I have Akitaka bring Fujimura-sensei over?"
Ryougi Shiki proposed.
"No need, it'll be faster if I bring it myself."
Broly waved his hand in refusal, explaining that he and his men flew, which was much faster than a car driving on the ground.
"Sister Liangyi, what would you like to eat?"
At this moment, Illya handed over the menu, preventing Ryougi Shiki from asking the question, "How can carrying people be faster than carrying people in a car?"
Having known each other for over a month, Ryougi Shiki only knew that the boy was quite skilled and claimed to be an alien from another world. As for other things, such as the fact that the boy could fly, she knew nothing.
This was because Fujimura Taiga wanted Broly to keep a low profile and not do anything too outrageous in front of normal people, so as not to cause trouble for the Magic Association.
Of course, the main concern was that the people from the Magic Association might get killed by Broly if they caused trouble.
. . . .
"Thump, thump..."
As night fell, footsteps echoed in the stairwell of the apartment building.
The only one who could return so early was Fujimura Taiga, a teacher.
White-collar workers say they work nine to five, but who doesn't work overtime sometimes?
In today's sluggish social environment, 8 pm is the norm.
Even 11 or 12 at night are not unheard of.
Upon arriving at her floor, Fujimura Taiga did not notice the figure that had been quietly following her up the stairs, standing at the corner of the staircase.
After hearing the door open and close, Shirasu Rio walked over with the box in his hands. He was dressed in a postman's uniform and looked exactly like a postman.
"Mr. Fujimura, you're really unlucky. Teachers have earlier working hours than office workers, and you don't have the habit of going out for meals and drinks with other teachers. But that does save me some trouble..."
Shirai Rio had the idea of killing someone in the afternoon, and that evening she went home with Fujimura Taiga.
In his view, the changes to Ryougi Shiki were all the fault of the intern teacher, Fujimura Taiga.
As a student teacher, instead of just getting by and focusing on grades, why am I concerned about students' mental health?
Seeing that Ryougi Shiki was withdrawn, he tried to find her some friends, which was simply meddling in other people's business.
"Ding-dong~"
Wearing a mask, Shirai Junri rang the doorbell of the room in front of him, while he had already taken the knife out of his pocket and hidden it under an empty cardboard box.
He wanted to see how long it would take for the intestines of this kind-hearted female teacher to cool down after they were cut open and ripped out.
The murderous intent was boiling, saliva was overflowing, and the desire to eat was gradually rising.
Who is it?
From inside the room came the female teacher's questioning voice.
"Hello, Ms. Fujimura, there is mail for you. Please open the door and sign for it."
Shirai Junri said, revealing her figure, holding the box, in front of the cat's eyes.
He was quite certain that from the peephole, he couldn't see the knife in his hand.
"My emails?"
Fujimura Taiga felt something was off and walked over to the entrance.
Who mailed it?
She asked.
"In the recipient section, only 'family members' were listed."
Shirai Junri answered without any sign of panic.
Fujimura Taiga: "..."
Her family does sometimes mail her things, but given that Broly doesn't need much time to travel between Fuyuki City and Mizuki City after coming to this world, why would her family mail her things in this way?
"Okay, I'll go get the stamp. Wait a moment."
As Fujimura Taiga called out, he quietly put on his flat shoes at the entrance.
Thinking about some home invasion robberies he had seen on TV recently, he grabbed a wooden knife from the side.
After thinking about it, he felt that the wooden sword was not good enough and would easily be misunderstood, so he ran back into the house and took out a full metal baseball bat.
If it's a real postman outside, that's fine, but if it's a guy with ulterior motives, well, she'll show him the true value of an eighteen-year-old with a ninth-dan kendo skill.
"Click~"
The door opened, and Shirai Junri's excitement grew stronger. He dropped the cardboard box he was using as a disguise, gripped the knife in both hands, and prepared to lunge and stab.
However, just as he took a step out, the door was already wide open, but the person inside did not appear at the doorway, but kept some distance from it.
Shirai Junri's plan to kill by opening the door was shattered; for his knife to stab someone, he would need to take at least three more steps forward.
But by then, Fujimura Taiga had already seen the knife in his hand, and at a distance of three steps, he was perfectly capable of reacting.
He gripped the baseball bat and struck at Shirasumi Rio's hands, which were holding the knife.
"Clang, click..."
The sound of the knife colliding with the metal baseball bat came first, followed by the sound of the knife and the hands holding it being broken by the metal baseball bat.
A sharp pain shot through him. Before he could scream, Shirasumi Rio instinctively stepped back and tilted his head back. His awakened beastly instincts helped him dodge Fujimura Taiga's follow-up lunge and thrust. The top of his baseball bat missed its mark and struck the wall behind him with a dull thud.
The recoil made Fujimura Taiga's hands go numb, while Shirasumi Rio, who had just dodged the attack while sitting on the ground, didn't dare to say a word. She hurriedly got up and ran towards the stairwell.
"Stop right there, you bastard! Don't run away!"
Once she recovered, Fujimura Taiga chased after him with a stick in hand, her menacing demeanor making it seem as if she were the one who wanted to kill.
Shirai Junri didn't dare to turn around. His instinct for danger told him that the guy chasing him was like an angry tigress, and if he dared to turn around, he would definitely be the one to die.
"Don't let me ever see you again, you bastard!"
After chasing him for three streets with a stick, Fujimura Taiga, burdened by his weight, finally ran out of strength to continue. He cursed and could only watch as the thug who had attempted to break into the house disappeared into the alleyway at the street corner.
Shirai Rio ran a long distance until she was sure no one was chasing her, then collapsed down in an alley.
"What's wrong with that guy? Why is he on guard? And why is he so strong? It seems like I can't beat him at all."
Both of my hand bones were broken. I didn't feel it when I was rushing to escape, but now I only feel pain.
After rolling around on the ground for a while, Shirai Rio finally got up and, like a wounded wild beast, disappeared into the darkness.
He needed to treat his injuries, but he had nowhere to go, so Shirai Riyu decided to go find the person who helped him awaken his origin.
. . . .
When Broly arrived, Fujimura Taiga was still cursing and swearing.
"What happened, Fujimura-nee?"
"It's nothing, just that a petty thief tried to break into my house and rob me."
Upon hearing this, Broly's eyes sharpened, and he asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No need, I've already chased that guy away. If he hadn't run so fast, I would have definitely knocked him down and taken him to the police station."
Just as Broly was looking in the direction Fujimura Taiga was coming from, wondering whether to unleash an indiscriminate energy blast in that direction, he heard Fujimura Taiga ask, "What did you bring me for dinner tonight?"
"I didn't bring any food, but I'm taking you there to eat. We'll all have barbecue together tonight."
"Barbecue? I haven't had it in ages. I'll go upstairs and close the door."
The world is vast, but food is the most important thing. Fujimura Taiga quickly put the villains who came knocking on his door behind him, and didn't even care about Broly.
After flying to the city center with Fujimura Taiga and going to a barbecue restaurant, Rin Tohsaka, having finished issuing the business investigation commission, also arrived at the barbecue restaurant.
Here you go, some grilled pork belly.
"It's so hot!"
"Blow on it before eating."
"Qiulong, sit down and eat with us."
