Magician in Type-Moon

"Then let's not delay."

Matouchi casually waved his hand, instructing the insect swarm to place the furnace core near the black mud.

The insects moved obediently, embedding the heart of the furnace into a runic ley line node next to the Great Grail.

As a deep hum echoed in the air, the magic within the furnace core began to slowly flow out.

Seeing this, Angra Mainyu mischievously leaped back into the black mud, greedily absorbing the magic like a hungry beast.

Matouchi brushed away the black mud that had splashed onto him, coldly observing the hellish scene.

"Hurry up," he reminded calmly. "This is only the first step. Don't mess things up."

"I understand, I understand, don't worry. Why do you always act like a mother hen at times like this?"

At this point, Kirichi said nothing more, but stood up and looked in the direction of Kanbuko City.

Time is running out.

......

The next day, Matouike had already returned to the hotel suite he rented in Kanbuko City.

He had already arranged for the insects to deliver all the goods he needed a day in advance.

This time, the attack that occurred when I left Kanbushi City did not happen again.

It was late at night when the hotel room door was suddenly pushed open.

The newcomers were none other than the delinquent girl Ryougi Shiki and her submissive male companion, Mikiya Kurogiri.

"Hey, the busy man is back. Have you eaten?"

As soon as the door opened, Ryougi Shiki let out a strange cry, then took a fast food sandwich from the shopping bag she was carrying and threw it to Matou Ike.

It's clear she's been in a pretty good mood lately.

Matou Ike took the sandwich, noticed it was still warm, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he said with a poker face:

"Why are you two not staying at home but coming here to my place? Are you treating this place like your love nest?"

Even when she heard such teasing remarks, Ryougi Shiki just shrugged and found an empty spot to sit down.

Kurogiri Mikiya greeted Matou Ike somewhat awkwardly before entering the room.

Seeing this, Matou Ike raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the developments between the two over the past few days.

But we can't worry about that right now.

"Have you heard anything from Orange lately?" Matou Ike asked, looking at Ryougi Shiki who was opening the refrigerator to take out a bottle of water.

"Of course, unlike some busy people who, even at crucial moments, still have the time to go on vacation."

Ryougi Shiki unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and after blinking repeatedly, spoke again.

Faced with verbal retorts, Matouike merely sighed in displeasure.

That's a brilliant statement!

Ignoring Ryougi Shiki's jokes, Matou Ike cut straight to the point.

Where is Orange?

"Well, she's gone, but she left this behind before she left."

Ryougi Shiki nodded slightly, then took out a spider-like creature from her pocket, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a doll.

Ryougi Shiki placed the items on Matou Ike's table, shrugged, raised her chin, and continued:

“When Orange came back, she was in a terrible state. She had even lost a bald patch and her body was covered in bloody holes. When she came back and found you weren’t there, she was furious. If we hadn’t explained things to you, she might have already gone to your place with a knife and blocked your door a couple of days ago.”

Ryougi Shiki adopted an attitude of bestowing favors upon others, gazing up at Matou Pond with her magical blue eyes.

Kirie didn't know how to answer this, and simply focused her attention on the spider puppet in front of her.

Just as he was about to make a move, Ryougi Shiki spoke with a smile:

"Matou..."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, you can continue."

Matou Ike really felt that these two guys were acting a bit strange today.

I need to ask for leave today; something came up and I haven't been home yet.

I paid back 2 chapters before, so I still owe 3 chapters. With the 2 chapters I wrote today, I owe a total of 5 chapters.

Chapter 319 Orange's Message

"Damn it!!! Matou!! I went through all that trouble to find a solution in such a dangerous place, and you dared to sneak out!!!"

"I'm going to raise the interest rate on your debt by 200%!!"

Although Ryougi Shiki's unusual behavior had already alerted Matou Ike, Matou Ike had already activated the spider doll left behind by Aozaki Touko using the corresponding magic runes.

If you've ever read the part of Harry Potter about the yelling letter Ron's mom sent him.

You can probably imagine what it would be like if Matou Ike activated this doll spider without warning.

The audio recorded by Aozaki Touko is like a roaring letter tearing at your eardrums. Matou Ike probably used Touko's vocal cords as a tool to raise her pitch when she recorded this audio.

The volume was so loud that Matou Ike almost used a magic bullet to blast the spider puppet playing the recording in front of him away.

As Orange's hoarse complaints gradually subsided, the spider puppet finally returned to a normal tone from its shrill volume.

Matou Ike let out a long sigh, his eye twitching as he glanced at the composed Ryougi Shiki and Kokutou Mikiya. They had already put on their earplugs, clearly knowing this would happen.

"You guys... forget it." He waved his hand weakly, no longer bothering to argue with them.

A buzzing sound came from the spider puppet's abdomen, followed by Orange's voice continuing to echo throughout the room in a teeth-grinding, ear-piercing tone:

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Matou Ike narrowed his eyes slightly, listening intently.

“Matou, you should have already seen the information from the Holy Church. To completely defeat Fuhailin, the first step is to remove the spiritual veins from his control.”

"When I learned this, I decided to stay inside the Liyuan Garden to investigate the distribution of the spiritual vein nodes."

"This requires extensive experience and accurate judgment, so it's naturally the most suitable person for me to do it. Ryougi Shiki has probably already scolded me for this, right?"

Her tone revealed a hint of lazy, mischievous humor, as if she were enjoying it.

But it does sound very much like an orange.

“I have found almost all the spiritual vein nodes, and only two key areas remain—those two places are heavily guarded, and the current forces simply cannot break through them.”

"The puppets I brought in before have all been used up. I came back this time to replenish some puppets, hoping that this will allow me to completely break through those two nodes."

Orange paused, her tone softening slightly, as if she were organizing her thoughts.

"Then there's the second thing, which is probably what you're most concerned about right now—"

“I learned from Sister Liz Beffi, the headmistress of Reien School, that Wuzhao Kirie transferred to Reien Girls’ School five months ago.”

"However, it differs from what you heard from that guy Keita Minato—Miri Mojo wasn't very popular at Reien at first. On the contrary, she was quite isolated when she first enrolled."

Upon hearing this, Matou Ike nodded slightly.

He had long felt that something was strange about this. In a closed academy like Liyuan, the relationships between students are often established from childhood, and the bonds between them are very strong.

As a sudden transfer student, and the kind of reclusive person who lives in a hospital ward year-round, how could he possibly handle such complex interpersonal relationships from the start and become friends with the vast majority of people?

As Matouchi pondered, the spider doll continued playing the recording left behind by Touko.

"But strangely enough, Wujo Kirie's interpersonal relationships took an amazing turn within half a month, and she eventually became the 'lovable person' that Minato Keita described."

Matouchi's brows furrowed slightly as her thoughts wandered.

"According to my investigation, the first friend she made at the Reien Garden was a girl named Misaya Kojiro. This person was very close to Satsuki Genki; according to Sister Liz Beffi, the two were even as close as siblings."

"And the situation of Huang Lu Misaya is exactly the opposite of that of Wu Jiao Kirie. As a member of the board of directors of Reien Girls' School, she grew up in Reien Girls' School from an early age. Her interpersonal relationships are equivalent to those of a central figure in Reien. Because of this, she even became the student council president of Reien."

"What's even stranger is that the relationship between Misaya Konji and Kirie Wujou developed without any warning. Before they became inseparable friends, they even had a fierce argument."

“Speaking of which, I have some suspicion that the part of Araya Souren’s ritual about the ‘past’ should be with those two, but since my time is limited, I’ll leave the task of solving the mystery to you, Matou.”

"What happened next was pretty much what we had predicted. After that guy named Hayama Hideo came to teach at Liyuan, he was peaceful for a while, but his nature was hard to change, and he started to have designs on the students of Liyuan."

"The first to be harmed were a few students in the class he taught. As his lust grew and he was transformed into a cannibal, he gradually took control of the entire class."

"And when Kirie Wujo, the new socialite of Reien Girls' Academy, sensed this change in atmosphere, she somehow managed to get the matter reported to the higher-ups at Reien, hoping to send Hayama to prison."

"You should know what happened next. The guy named Hayama Hideo did not receive any punishment. Instead, he continued to teach at Reien University. However, he became much more restrained in his actions, and even his work on the aid-trading business was suspended."

"But you know, if this guy were a normal human, it would be fine. He wouldn't necessarily need to rely on the students of Reien to satisfy his sexual desires. But that guy has become a cannibal."

"Desires other than sexual desire cannot be resolved by suppression alone, so driven by hunger and hatred, he killed Wuzhao Kirie. Of course, this is just my guess, but it is true that Wuzhao Kirie died not long afterward."

"Then, Hayama Hideo died in a mysterious fire."

"This is all the experience that Wu-jo Kirie had during her time living in Rei-en. If you want to contact me, just record what you want to say and it will come to me on its own."

There was a click.

The moment the recording ended, the room fell into a deathly silence, with only the humming of the doll lingering for a moment before gradually fading away.

Unusually, Ryougi Shiki, Kokutou Mikiya, and Matou Ike all fell silent.

Finally, Ryougi Shiki spoke to Matou Ike and asked:

"When do we leave? Tomorrow?"

"Well, that's it."
