Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?

"Miss Puppeteer, how about we talk about a collaboration?"

Having activated [Mind Chaos] and utilized a series of abilities that easily grant [Friendliness], Fang Yi's words prompted Aozaki Touko, who was bound hand and foot by Irisviel and had her mouth sealed, to struggle vigorously.

However, for this [Grand-rank Puppeteer] dressed in a white-collar outfit, whose fingers were immobile and unable to use any [Magic], this struggle was more like a worm wriggling than a display of ferocity.

Fang Yi looked at the [Grand-rank Puppeteer]'s raised head and eyes full of anger, and immediately realized one thing.

This woman, who had a terrible temper and would fight at the slightest disagreement, was clearly still resentful of his beating her just now.

In this situation, wanting to quickly reach a cooperative agreement with her and have her obediently follow his instructions to help him reap more gains was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Looking at Aozaki Touko, who seemed unchanged, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

[As expected, it's not going to work?]

[It seems that this 'Charm'-like trait isn't that easy to use either. I'm afraid I still need to use my own methods to grind some Favorability.]

-

Thinking of this, Fang Yi stroked his chin while sizing up the other party, and began to ponder how to 'tame' her and quickly turn her from enemy to friend.

After operating this 'advanced' computer for a while, he used the [Human Elixir Method] to verify the authenticity of the [Alchemy] books.

He confirmed that the books covered a wide range and provided a relatively complete explanation of [Alchemy].

As long as he used the memory-enhancing trait [Learned and Knowledgeable] to 'memorize' this knowledge in a superficial manner.

Then, he could activate the [Human Elixir Method] to consume 'fuel' to quickly establish a [Database], and then consume a large amount of 'fuel' to assist him in sorting and categorizing it.

Subsequently, he hypothesized that it was feasible to independently improve the levels of [Alchemy Basics] and [Alchemy Common Sense], two cheap skills that only required 200 points per level.

Fang Yi began to ponder how to obtain more 'fuel' for the [Human Elixir Method] to complete this plan.

After thinking about it, he came up with the idea of targeting the 'monster' that originated from the [Saint's Corpse].

Based on the [Memory Collection] effect of this [Relic] and the commentary on the cane woven from 'memories'.

As well as his actual verification that killing Zouken Matou granted him a large amount of 'fuel' for the [Human Elixir Method], while killing Servants did not increase his 'fuel' at all because the Servant's spiritual essence completely filled the Lesser Grail.

Obtaining 'fuel' was probably not greatly related to the opponent's strength or flesh, but rather to whether the 'soul' was acquired.

The soul of a flesh-and-blood creature that has lived for many years can produce more 'fuel'.

Considering that the 'blood sacrifice' usage of [Blood Alchemy] directly erases the other person's flesh and blood along with their soul.

Therefore, he needed the 'revival' technique of transferring souls in her puppet technology to separate the soul and body of the monster in his hands.

Kill the soul once, and use the body for a blood sacrifice, achieving a 'one fish, two eats' scenario.

Thus maximizing profits.

Therefore, he needed to 'capture' Miss Puppeteer to get her to contribute.

-

After recalling the personality of this [Grand-rank Puppeteer] since her appearance.

And considering the 'weaknesses' she might have.

A moment later, looking at her beautiful face, fiery pupils, and heaving chest, Fang Yi revealed a perfectly standard smile.

He had already thought of a way to 'exploit loopholes' to increase her Favorability.

[After all, you still have to pick the 'soft' persimmon to pinch.]

He walked out of the room and said the following to Emiya Kiritsugu, who had replaced Irisviel to stand here as punishment, waiting for him to inspect the reward results.

"The reward is authentic and correct, no need for paper books.

"But there is still one thing that needs to be resolved."

Fang Yi turned his head to look at Aozaki Touko in the room.

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't speak immediately, but first thought about it.

Then, he glanced at the bound Aozaki Touko in the room, without leaving a trace, following Fang Yi's gaze.

After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly lowered his head and stated his position in a low voice very tactfully.

And gave Fang Yi some 'information'.

"She is a Magus with few friends and family, almost a lone wolf.

"As long as she is not here"

Faced with Emiya Kiritsugu's rather flexible moral standards, Fang Yi waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him.

"She is still useful, bring a pair of glasses.

"I will communicate with her to quickly resolve the conflict between this [Puppeteer] and me.

"It's getting late, I should leave after resolving the conflict."

Without a moment's hesitation, Emiya Kiritsugu gave the answer "Please wait a moment", and then turned and left.

This 'Magus Killer' was hoping to send Fang Yi, this 'terrorist', away as soon as possible, and this remark was exactly what he wanted.

And Fang Yi, after obtaining most of the gains, didn't want to stay in the Emiya residence any longer.

He was preparing to quickly cut the Gordian knot, 'resolve' Aozaki Touko, then prepare to squeeze the 'monster' dry, obtain all the information, and then kill the other party.

Then go back to 'chat' with his swordsman miss, advance the [Limit Break] mission, and further improve his strength.

-

Aozaki Touko, whose hands and feet were a little numb, watched Fang Yi, who had issued a declaration of cooperation, and was forced back by her attitude, remain silent.

After pondering for a moment, he said something to Emiya Kiritsugu outside the door.

Although she was annoyed that the other party had beaten and bound her.

But after the other party talked to her and brought that good-looking face closer to her, the anger in her heart dissipated a lot for no reason, and the whole person underwent a 'cooling'.

After calming down, the brain conducted a series of thoughts and reviews.

This Puppeteer, who was very objective after taking off her glasses, suddenly realized one thing:

[From the moment I launched an attack on the other party for no reason, I was the one in the wrong.]

According to the rules of Magus, even if she was 'killed' after being captured by the other party.

It was just the reward she should have received for attacking the other party.

Thinking of this, the Puppeteer, who had suffered a loss, had her chest, which was still bulging and fluctuating, 'deflated' like a balloon being punctured, visibly.

[If only I hadn't been so impulsive at the time, and hadn't attacked him indiscriminately.]

This [Puppeteer] looked at the [Mystic Code] [Crystal Mayfly] placed on the table by the man, and felt the [Sealing Box] in her body.

A few regrets had already risen in her heart.

[This is the end!]

An expensive [Mystic Code], a trump card that could 'self-destruct' and achieve a city-level [Noble Phantasm] power.

I'm afraid it will leave me today because of my behavior.

Not to mention the plan to kill that 'enemy' who has fought many times but has not been able to do anything about it, I'm afraid it will be in vain.

-

Thinking of this, she tried to raise her head, looking at Fang Yi, whose smile on his face was still standard, but no longer communicating with her, not far away.

Although her face was still indifferent, it already vaguely carried a bit of 'Do you think I still have a chance.jpg' trend.

Obviously, she was looking forward to the other party being able to issue an invitation to her again, so that she could 'take advantage of the situation'.

Then, she saw the man walk out of the room, communicate with Irisviel outside the door, and take over something.

Listening to the other party saying loudly "No need for dinner, I will quickly resolve the conflict and leave here".

Unable to move, and believing that the other party was going to attack, Aozaki Touko, whose psychological defense line was broken, became anxious.

"Let me say something, let me say something.

"Didn't you say cooperation?

"We can talk, we can talk about everything, I can also"

However, these sincere words only made her utter a few unintelligible whimpers because her mouth was stuffed with a silk scarf.

Watching Fang Yi, who was carrying his hands on his back, walking closer to 'execute' her.

With the blessing of [Mind Chaos], Aozaki Touko's indifferent face already had a few visible panics.

Tears also welled up in her eyes, even carrying a bit of pleading.

The meaning she expressed was also very clear.

"Can we talk again?"

But watching Fang Yi, who was unwavering and had no intention of communicating, Aozaki Touko could only close her eyes in despair.

However, she did not perceive any strange actions from the man.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, she felt the man's hands touching her ears.

Her nose bridge sank, and there were a pair of glasses.

The personality also instantly switched to a gentle, warm-hearted, and quite subjective Aozaki Touko full of human touch.

[What is he doing?]

The next moment, the silk scarf that had been stuffed for a long time, making the mouth a little enlarged and a little numb, was also pulled out by the man.

The man's slightly frivolous tone also entered her ears.

"It seems that you are not so stubborn.

"Not as stupid as 'I don't know I'm wrong, but I know I'm about to die'."

Fang Yi stretched out a finger and shook it in front of this [Grand-rank Puppeteer], adding such a sentence.

"So, I am willing to give you a chance to say a word.

"This sentence will determine my attitude towards you next."

-

Aozaki Touko thought for a moment, and quickly conducted a brainstorming.

Under this reasonable personality and the blessing of Fang Yi's multiple abilities, she racked her brains to give such a soft word.

"You are not my enemy, it was impolite and wrong for me to attack you indiscriminately.

"I should first express my apology and give you compensation that you can accept."

After saying this, Aozaki Touko, who had softened a bit, stopped talking and stared at Fang Yi.

Watching Aozaki Touko, who had softened, Fang Yi did not answer.

Instead, he glanced at the [Mind Chaos] on the panel with great disdain, and complained fiercely.

[I was really naive to have expectations for this 'trash trait'.]

[This trait doesn't seem to be of much use, I still have to rely on myself to solve the problem.]

[There is no need to be alert to the strange things that may happen when using it,]

Fang Yi, who 'misunderstood' the power of the trait, classified this trait as the [Can be used with confidence] ability group.

First, he paused and made a 'hesitant' posture, and then rubbed his palms, and glanced very deliberately at the [Mystic Code] [Crystal Mayfly] not far away.

Aozaki Touko followed Fang Yi's gaze and saw the [Mystic Code] that had a mechanical aesthetic and condensed her Magus talent.

Although she felt very heartbroken about losing this [Mystic Code], and was somewhat unwilling in her heart.

At the same time, she was very puzzled by this Servant's behavior of asking for [Mystic Code], but she still gave a promise against her will.

"Is that [Mystic Code] as compensation?

"It belongs to you and your Master, take it."

Fang Yi listened to the prompt tone of [The certified points of this item have changed from 20000 points to 12000 points] ringing in his ears.

Fang Yi, knowing that the other party was 'insincere', did not point out the other party, but shook his head and pulled out the [Kashuu Kiyomitsu] at his waist, preparing to fish for a big fish.

When Aozaki Touko saw Fang Yi's actions, her heart suddenly turned cold.

[Is he going to execute me?]

In a hurry, she was about to blurt out the 'self-destruct' trump card on her body.

However, the next moment, as her eyes flashed, she saw such an incomprehensible scene.

The man turned his back and walked towards the table holding the [Mystic Code], and the unsheathed long sword in his hand had already been sheathed.

She subconsciously touched her neck.

After confirming that there were no scratches, she realized one thing after looking at the free hands.

The other party released her restraints.

[Did he accept the proposal of [Mystic Code] as compensation, and is about to leave?]

[But didn't he say he wanted to cooperate?]

She staggered to her feet, about to inquire about the man's intentions, with some operating guidelines for her [Mystic Code].

But she didn't expect the man to turn around after taking the [Mystic Code], and instead, after playing with the somewhat dilapidated [Mystic Code], handed it over to her.

At the same time, he attached such a sentence.

"I like friends very much.

"I don't want your [Mystic Code], and I don't want your compensation.

"I just need to listen to my conditions, sign a contract, and cooperate with me for a mutually beneficial collaboration."

Aozaki Touko looked at the [Mystic Code] in her hand that had been restored under the blessing of Fang Yi's [Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Principles lv4], and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

[Does this Servant also understand mechanical design? What era is this Servant from?]

She looked at Fang Yi, who still had a standard smile on his face.

Although the other party just returned her [Mystic Code] like a 'empty glove white wolf', she faintly developed some goodwill towards him.

At this moment, she no longer found the man's smile as repulsive as before.

She subconsciously adjusted her glasses.

[This man has a good personality and strength, making him a high-quality partner.]

[Perhaps, after paying some price, I can borrow his strength to kill my 'enemy'.]

Aozaki Touko sized up Fang Yi, assessing him from head to toe, and came to this conclusion.

[Perhaps, I can even find a way to snatch him away from his Master.]

[Keeping him by my side as a 'Familiar' to deal with my sister, who wants to become a 'Magician', is also an option.]

Thinking of this, a genuine smile appeared on Aozaki Touko's face.

She stood up, stretched her slightly numb body, and extended her right hand towards Fang Yi.

"So, Servant, my partner."

"Please tell me the specific terms of our cooperation."

-----

Hearing the notification in his ear [Character [Aozaki Touko]'s Favorability towards you has changed from [-12/100] to [59/100]].

Fang Yi smiled slightly and gave this reply.

"I need you to use your skills to safely deal with a 'friend' of mine who likes to make small moves."

"However, we need to sign a contract called 'Binding' first."

At the same time, Fang Yi added this sentence in his heart.

[I like friends, but I also like 'friends' who are happy to sit in my 'Myriad Souls Banner' and provide me with benefits.]

Fang Yi felt that this 'blood sacrifice' would bring him some good gains.
