Magical User Aozaki Aoko Case Files

"So what you mean is that the way I copy my own soul is, in a sense, very close to the materialization of the soul?" Orange said proudly.

"Yes," Qingzi said, "Since you can replicate your soul indefinitely, is there really such a big difference between it and a material soul that exists indefinitely? To me, they are almost the same thing."

"So this time I will use your technology as a stepping stone to seize the Einzbern legacy..." Aoko's voice sounded a little sinister.

"What you said sounds like the traditional thinking of a magician, Aoko," Orange wiped her tears hypocritically and said, "As your sister, I am very pleased."

"I never said I was an ordinary, normal person, but I'm not a magician either," Aoko said. "Besides, I have a different view on our sisterhood..."

Chapter 68 Eubusta Kuhaid von Einzbern

After some arguing, the Aozaki sisters flew over the gate of Winter City while playing and landed steadily in front of the gate.

As a result, as soon as Qingzi and Chengzi landed, as if some perception mechanism was triggered, dozens of white-haired, red-eyed maids holding cold weapons rushed out from the paths on both sides of the gate of Winter City, staring at them eagerly.

"Tell your Ahadon," Aoko threw a letter to the leading maid, "that the fourth magician is here to visit."

The maid took the letter from Aoko that was floating in the air, looked at her, and returned to the castle through the small door on the side without saying a word. The other maid next to the leading maid seamlessly replaced the leading maid's position, raised her weapon and was on guard against Aoko and Orange.

About twenty minutes later, the leading maid returned to the gate and saluted Aoko and Orange in a very standard posture, and she did not carry any weapons this time.

When the other maids saw the head maid's gesture, they put their weapons back on their waists and stood in two rows in exact order, making way for the visitor.

"Please follow me, both of you," said the lead maid, "Ahadion invites you."

Aoko and Orange followed the leader of the android maids and walked into the gate of Winter City.

As soon as they entered, they saw the extremely luxurious decoration style inside the castle, which made Qingzi feel as if she had entered a palace.

Of course, the Einzbern family is not a royal family, and this castle is not a palace.

In the castle's hall, intricate crystal chandeliers emit a cold light. The high walls on all sides cast heavy shadows on the precious carpet. The figures in the paintings on the wall seem to be staring at the visitors, giving people an eerie feeling.

During the two thousand years that this castle has existed, magicians have repaired and rebuilt it many times, but since Machiri Zorgen and the Holy Maiden of Winter left the City of Winter, the artificial people have not made any changes to the style of the castle, but have maintained the same style and continued to maintain it.

They walked on the finely polished marble floor, walked up the central staircase, and came to the second floor of the castle. Then they followed the maids into the complicated corridor that was like a maze, and after several turns, they finally came to a meeting room with huge floor-to-ceiling windows. An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a gorgeous robe, sat at the end of the long table.

On the left and right sides of the old man sat a female Einzbern android who looked to be in her twenties, and a middle-aged Japanese man wearing a black windbreaker and with an unshaven beard.

Hehehe, Emiya Kiritsugu?

Aoko sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface. She just sat in the seat opposite Ahadon, and Orange sat next to her. (But because she was shorter, the effect after sitting there was a little cute)

"So, what is the business of the Fourth Magician visiting our Einzbern family?" Eubusta Kuhaid asked Aoko in a dry tone.

"Why is there an outsider present when magician families are talking?" Aoko glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu beside her with contempt and asked calmly.

“Kiritsugu…” Irisviel von Einzbern said to her husband worriedly.

"He is just a guard I hired," Ahadon said, "When facing a magician, it is only right to make some safety preparations in advance."

"Hahaha~" Qingzi laughed heartily, as if she had heard the funniest joke. "Are you sure? Ahadon? Even if all the androids in your castle rushed up together, plus this pathetic mercenary, they couldn't hurt me at all. Is there any point in you keeping him here?"

"...You go out first." Ahadon thought for a moment and gave an order to Emiya Kiritsugu. After Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at his wife and Aozaki Aoko opposite him, he stood up and left the meeting room.

He felt that this was indeed the case. As the heir to a family of magicians, Ahadon certainly knew what level of monsters magicians were. Although Kiritsugu Emiya was a famous magician killer, he was definitely not good enough in front of a messenger who wielded the five major magics.

"I came here this time to cooperate with you," Aozaki Aoko said after seeing Emiya Kiritsugu leave the room, "I need you to provide us with all the structural information of the Holy Grail, as well as the information of the Command Spell system."

"Impossible," Ahadon immediately rejected Qingzi's request and said firmly, "That is the foundation on which our Einzbern was established."

"Don't be so quick to deny it," Qingzi said jokingly, "You can listen to the price we can offer."

"No matter what the price is, we will not hand over the information about the Holy Grail War ritual." Ahadon denied it again with absolute certainty, "The fourth magician should go back."

"Really?" Qingzi looked up and down at the stinky old man disguised as artificial intelligence and said, "Not even a part of the third magic?"

As an artificial intelligence that was stuffed into a cyborg body and managed the Einzbern family for two hundred years, Ahadon's expression showed fluctuations for the first time since the Aozaki sisters entered the conference room.

"...Are you serious, Mr. Fourth Magician?" Ahadon asked with a trembling voice, "Isn't it true that each magician can only master one kind of magic?"

"As the fourth magician, there is no need for me to deceive you," Aoko said, "and my sister is also a crown magician certified by the Clock Tower..."

"...Besides, you misunderstood, Ubusta Kuhaid," Qingzi said, "It's not that I have mastered part of the third magic, but my sister's research results have reached part of the third magic, because she can copy the soul completely."

As the person in this world who knows the most details of the Third Magic, Yubusta Kuhaid certainly knows clearly that the replication of the soul is a part of the Third Magic that is very close to the materialization of the soul.

"How can you prove it?" Ahadeon asked anxiously, "As long as you can prove this and help us fulfill our long-cherished wish for thousands of years, everything in Einzbern can be offered to you!"

"I can borrow your alchemy laboratory," Orange said, "I can copy the soul and body of any of you, as long as there are enough magic materials and equipment."

"No problem!" Ahadeon immediately stood up and said, "I can arrange it right away! Irisviel, come with me to the alchemy laboratory underground!"

"Gentlemen, please come this way." Ahadon changed his stiff tone when they first met and respectfully opened the door of the conference room for Qingzi.

Chapter 69 Einzbern's Homunculus

Standing at the door in a daze, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly found that the door of the conference room was opened. The usually cold and stiff Ahadon even looked a little smug at this moment. He respectfully led the woman who might be a magician and her sister out of the conference room.

Following Ahadon out was Emiya Kiritsugu's wife, Irisviel.

Emiya Kiritsugu noticed a trace of worry on his wife's face and quickly followed her to ask her questions.

"Airy, what happened?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

“Kiritsugu, the Einzbern family…” Irisviel hesitated in the middle of her sentence, as if she didn’t know how to explain, “…the Einzbern family might become the property of those two Miss Aozaki.”

"?!" Emiya Kiritsugu immediately panicked. He held his wife's hand and continued to ask, "What happened? Did those two women force Ahadon to do this?"

"That's not the case," Irisviel shook her head and said, "That Miss Aozaki Touko, she is..."

"Irisviel! Follow me!" Irisviel was about to say something when she was interrupted by Ahadon's stern voice. She had to look at her husband and followed Ahadon's footsteps.

Kiritsugu Emiya stood there in a daze, watching his wife walking further and further away, heading towards a place he could not reach, with mixed feelings in his heart.

---Dividing line---

Aoko and Orange, along with Ahadon and Irisviel, came to Einzbern's huge alchemy laboratory underground.

The space here is quite huge, or it can be said that the underground part is the real foundation of Einzbern. The disciples of the third magician created Justisia here. All the Einzbern androids, including Irisviel and Ahadon, were created here.

Aoko and Orange looked around with interest, examining the alchemical experimental equipment in the Einzbern workshop.

"Excuse me, Miss Aozaki Orange, is there anything I can help you with?" Ahadeon rubbed his hands and asked Orange, completely losing his aloof look at the beginning...

"The facilities here are quite complete," Orange crossed his arms and nodded in affirmation, "but you need to collect some materials, and I also need to adjust these alchemical devices. In addition, I need Miss Irisviel to cooperate with me. When the time comes, I will use her soul as a blueprint to carry out the replication project. Is that okay?"

"As long as you give me the list, we will prepare it immediately," Ahadon said, "Irisviel, you must obey Miss Aozaki Touko's orders for everything that comes next. Do you understand?"

"...Yes, great grandfather." Irisviel answered obediently.

She looked at Aozaki Touko, who was much shorter than her, with a look that was a little bit fearful and a little bit curious. Could such a young child already be a crown magician and a genius who had partially reached the third level of magic?

She looks cute... It would be nice if I could become friends with Illya...

At this time, Orange also noticed that there was something wrong with the way Irisviel looked at her, and immediately glared at her fiercely.

"Irisviel, right?" Orange said in a slightly fierce tone, "Come here and lie down here. I want to check the structure of the Lesser Holy Grail."

Irisviel obediently lay on something that looked like an operating table in the center of the room, allowing Orange to use magic to examine her body.

"Hmm... I see," Orange muttered to herself as she examined him. "Very clever design... She was created by you imitating the body of the third magician, right?"

"Yes," Ahadeon nodded and said, "But to be precise, Justisia is the closest replica of the Third Magician, and Irisviel is the closest individual to Justisia that we can create with our current abilities..."

Aoko found a chair nearby and sat on it, watching the conversation between Orange and Ahadon with great interest. It seemed that Orange was quite interested in the technology of the Einzbern family and the third magic behind it...

"I will spend three days creating a replica of Irisviel, including the soul, spirit, and body," Orange said. "Of course, when we start depends on how quickly you prepare the materials."

"I understand!" Ahadon said, "Once you have proven that you have reached that level, we will discuss with you the specific form of cooperation regarding the Holy Grail War ritual..."

"...As long as our thousand-year wish is fulfilled, all of Einzbern's heritage will belong to you, Ms. Aozaki Touko."

---Dividing line---

Three days passed quickly, during which time Aoko and Orange enjoyed the luxurious life of the decadent aristocracy. A large number of white-haired, red-eyed artificial maids served them meticulously in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which made the memory of the "time traveler from Country Z" in her mind stir.

During the day, Orange worked in the alchemy studio while Aoko wandered around the huge castle. At night, the two sisters slept in the same room to prevent Orange from being attacked by the unscrupulous Kiritsugu Emiya.

She even met Illya who ran out to play. The cute Illya was also very curious about her young and beautiful sister, but before she ran over to talk to Aoko, Kiritsugu Emiya rushed out and carried her away with a wary look on his face.

Just wait, Emiya Kiritsugu, sooner or later you will get what you deserve.

Aoko smiled, her expression was calm, but because of what Emiya Kiritsugu had just done, she had already made a series of plans for this old chuunibyou patient, vowing to humiliate him to the ultimate degree in the Holy Grail War two years later...

Haha, hahaha.

In addition to Illya being quite interesting, Aoko and Orange also received back rubs and massages from androids who looked like Sera and Lijelite while enjoying the luxurious bathroom of Einzbern.

The reason why Aoko said "suspected" was because the appearance of Einzbern's android maids all looked similar to her, and their hairstyles were wrapped in strange headscarves, so she could only judge the identities of these two androids by the size of their headlights.

However, these androids have really good massage skills. I'm afraid that the magicians who designed and manufactured them must have put a lot of "services" into the pre-installed knowledge of these androids.

Aoko made up her mind that after Orange officially gained control of Einzbern, she would definitely bring two android maids home and enjoy a decadent life with maid service. These two in front of her looked good...

Chapter 70: Rhine Gold and Heaven's Clothes

Time flew by and it was already the third day. Aoko did not hang out in the Einzbern castle today, but accompanied Orange to the Einzbern alchemy laboratory.

During this time, Orange spent most of his time creating a new body for Irisviel, and the ritual of duplicating the soul would be put off until the last day.

Irisviel went from being curious at first, to feeling strange seeing a body that looked exactly like her own being created bit by bit, to feeling shy when this naked body was laid out on the operating table for everyone to observe... (Ahadon was not around, he only needed to observe the last step of the soul transfer).

All of the methods Orange used to create copies of Irisviel were completely different from the alchemy used by Einzbern to create androids. It can be said that it was a completely unique system.

The reason why she allowed Irisviel and Aoko to watch from the side was because she was confident that the two of them would not be able to understand or learn even if they stared at it, and there was no possibility of any mysterious spread.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although Qingzi worked hard to learn it, she really had no interest in ergonomics, so she didn't care about Orange's operation at all.

As for Irisviel, she had been instilled with too much Einzbern alchemy knowledge, which made her completely incompatible with Orange, a new generation Clock Tower genius crown, so her logical system could not understand Orange's operations.

So in their eyes, the puppet replicas created by Orange were completely the products produced through a series of counterintuitive black box operations, and all they had to do was applaud and shout 666.

After the replica was completed, Orange sent Irisviel to call Ahadon over to witness the soul-copying ceremony.

Ahadeon came to the scene in person, carrying a very luxurious box with excitement.
