Chapter 341: Broken Claw

Broly indeed doesn't know Type-Moon World magecraft, but he excels at using his own fists and feet; it was only because Rin Tohsaka persuaded him to stop that Asagami Kenzou wasn't beaten for sure.

The boy looked at Rin Tohsaka, wanting to know what method the girl had; however, after thinking for a while, Rin Tohsaka chose to temporarily retreat.

"Asagami Family Head, my sealing magecraft can still take effect for a period of time; I hope you can give me some time before the sealing magecraft loses effect."

"Give you some time, what can you do then?"

"I will find a way to persuade you, give you a condition you cannot refuse."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

"Will you agree or not?"

Rin Tohsaka did not argue, merely looking at the middle-aged man before her.

"Anyway, re-sealing the Magic Eye still needs a period of time to prepare..."

Asagami Kenzou thought for a while, then agreed.

However, he only gave Rin Tohsaka one week.

One week later, if Rin Tohsaka cannot persuade him, change his mind about not accepting outsider help.

Then, the Asagami Family will, in their own way, re-seal Asagami Fujino's Magic Eye.

"Fujino, since your vision is temporarily blind, later I'll have the secretary send you home, then have your mother call the school to get you a week's leave."

Asagami Kenzou stopped his stepdaughter from leaving with outsiders; the female secretary beside him walked forward, sensing the girl's reluctance, Broly frowned, preparing to act again, but was stopped once more by Rin Tohsaka.

"Fujino, properly tell your mother your thoughts; at fastest two or three days, at slowest one week, we will change your father's mind."

Rin Tohsaka comforted Asagami Fujino with a sentence, letting the blind girl feel at ease, only then greeting the others to leave together.

After leaving the construction company, arriving on the street outside, little Sakura couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Sister, why didn't you let Brother Broly act? Wouldn't changing Fujino's father's mind be faster that way?"

Broly also looked over with some doubt; besides Ryougi Shiki and Kokutou Azaka, those present didn't know the boy's terrifying power, everyone looked toward Rin Tohsaka.

"Using force to threaten someone to change their mind is indeed more efficient, but after using force, how do you let that girl handle herself?"

Rin Tohsaka retorted; her mother still fears Broly to this day, because back then Broly nearly beat her father to death.

If the Asagami Family treats Asagami Fujino as a tool, ruthless and ungrateful, such a family might as well not exist.

But from the probing just now, that Asagami Family Head, although not valuing the girl, to a certain extent also treats Asagami Fujino as a family member, vigilant against this outsider's coveting of the girl's Magic Eye.

Asagami Fujino's relationship with her stepfather is bad, but she still has feelings for her mother; making Broly use force to compel that man to change his mind is easy, but the girl's interpersonal relationships afterward would be very troublesome to handle.

Judging others by oneself; at least, when Rin Tohsaka saw her own mother's fearful look toward the boy, her mood was not good.

And when mood is bad, Happiness Points production decreases, so she stopped the boy from acting, not for the girl, but for the boy's happiness.

Rin Tohsaka's stated reason of "hitting people will make the girl's family relations stiff" gained recognition from those around her, but a problem followed.

"If you don't plan to use force, how do you intend to persuade the Asagami Family Head? That's a stubborn guy."

Aozaki Touko was somewhat curious; she didn't think words alone could easily persuade Asagami Kenzou.

"The Asagami Family bears the Asagami Family's debt, right? Have those debts been paid off now?"

Rin Tohsaka suddenly asked.

"Probably not; that's a debt that could make one of the Four Great Demon-Hunter Families, the Asagami Family, declare bankruptcy, voluntarily give up land and merge into a branch family."

Aozaki Touko answered.

"Since they're not paid off, that's easy; Miss Aozaki, can I commission you to investigate the identities of those creditors, and their relationship with the Asagami Family?"

"How so, Miss Tohsaka plans to take on those debts, become the Asagami Family's creditor?"

"Things in this world that can make people change their minds, besides force there's financial power; coincidentally, my family is comparatively rich."

Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't die; with the Tohsaka Family's vast connections still present, the wealth Rin Tohsaka can mobilize is astonishing.

"Impolite; so you're a Money Power user, however, I must remind Miss Tohsaka: although the Asagami Family's assets can't compare to the Tohsaka Family, they still have considerable strength; your financial power may not make the Asagami Family Head surrender."

"If it doesn't work, then at that time just let Broly act and beat people."

Not letting the boy act is because a better solution might exist, but if a better solution truly can't be found, then we can only let the boy act.

Anyway, after her father Tohsaka Tokiomi was beaten, she also gets along very well with Broly; at most, when seeing her mother show fear toward the boy, her mood is just a bit bad.

"Sister, you this..."

Little Sakura wanted to speak but stopped.

"Letting him act is the fallback; this is aiming for the ceiling, so that new members joining later will be a bit happier."

After Rin Tohsaka explained a bunch, she boarded Aozaki Touko's car: "You guys go eat first, I need to go to the Business Investigation Company to place a commission."

"Azaka, do you want to eat with us tonight?"

Little Sakura asked the girl beside her.

"Ah, no need; my parents said they'd make me a big meal."

Kokutou Azaka hurriedly waved her hand.

"Speaking of which, little Sakura, your sister is so cool."

Seeing all this, Kokutou Azaka only felt Rin Tohsaka was so mature, her way of handling problems also very organized.

"Then let me have Qiu Long send you back first."

Ryougi Shiki said; her family hadn't prepared any big meal for her, going back would be eating alone in her room, better to eat outside with Broly and them.

After sending Kokutou Azaka home, Broly and the others decided to go eat a grilled meat big meal tonight; finding a decent yakiniku restaurant in the city center, they went in and booked a private room.

"Sister, we're at..."

Little Sakura sent the restaurant's specific location to Rin Tohsaka via phone; Broly ran out to prepare to bring Fujimura Taiga over to this side.

"Why don't I have Qiu Long go bring Teacher Fujimura over?"

Ryougi Shiki proposed.

"No need; me going myself will be faster."

Broly waved his hand refusing; he brings people by flying, much faster than driving a sedan on the ground.

"Shiki-nee, do you want to eat something?"

At this moment, Karen handed over the menu, preventing Ryougi Shiki from asking the question, "How can a person carrying a person be faster than a car carrying a person?"

Having known each other for over a month, Ryougi Shiki only knew that the boy's skills were not bad, and that he was a self-proclaimed alien from another world; as for other things, such as the fact that the boy could fly, she was not aware.

And this was because Fujimura Taiga had told Broly to keep a low profile, not to do too many extraordinary deeds in front of normal people, to avoid trouble from the Magic Association.

Of course, mainly Fujimura Taiga worried that the Magic Association's people, when coming to find trouble, might get beaten to death by Broly.

"Tap, tap......"

Night gradually descended; in the apartment building's stairwell, a footstep sounded.

And the only one who could return this early was Fujimura Taiga, with her teacher profession.

White-collar workers say nine-to-five, but who doesn't work overtime?

In the current sluggish social environment, leaving at eight is the norm.

Even leaving at eleven or twelve is not unheard of.

Arriving at the floor she lived on, Fujimura Taiga did not discover that at the stairwell corner, a figure that had followed her upstairs was currently staying quietly.

After hearing the room door open and close, Bai Chun Li Xu walked over carrying the box in his arms, and he was now wearing a postal worker's uniform, completely the appearance of a postman.

"Fujimura-sensei, you really are unlucky; the teaching profession has an earlier off-work time than white-collar workers, yet you don't have the habit of going out drinking with other teachers, however, this does save me some effort......"

Bai Chun Li Xu's thought to kill was produced in the afternoon; in the evening he followed Fujimura Taiga home.

In his view, Ryougi Shiki's changes were all the fault of this intern teacher, Fujimura Taiga.

As an intern teacher, why not obediently coast along and chase grades, but instead go care about students' mental health?

Seeing Ryougi Shiki was solitary, she went and found some friends for Ryougi Shiki; this is simply meddling.

"Ding-dong~"

The masked Bai Chun Li Xu pressed the doorbell of the front door, and the knife had already been taken from his pocket and hidden under the empty cardboard box.

He wanted to see just how long it would take for this warm-hearted female teacher's intestines to cool completely after being disemboweled and pulled out.

Killing intent boiled, saliva overflowed, the desire to eat gradually rose.

"Who is it?"

From inside the door came the female teacher's questioning voice.

"Hello, Miss Fujimura, you have mail, please open the door and sign for it."

Bai Chun Li Xu said, positioning his box-holding figure in front of the peephole.

He was quite certain that from the angle of the door's peephole, it was impossible to see the knife in his hand.

"My mail?"

Fujimura Taiga felt it strange, and walked over to the entrance side.

"Who sent it?"

She asked.

"On the sender column, only 'Family' is written."

Bai Chun Li Xu answered without a trace of panic.

Fujimura Taiga: "......"

Her family did sometimes mail things to her, but with Broly having come to this world, and round trips between Fuyuki City and Guanbu City not taking long, would her family still use this kind of method to mail things to her?

"Okay, I'll go get my seal, wait a moment."

Fujimura Taiga called out, and quietly put on her flat shoes at the entrance.

Thinking of some home-invasion robbery news she'd seen on TV recently, she grabbed a wooden sword from the side.

Thought a bit, felt the wooden sword was still lacking a bit, and also easily misunderstood, so ran back inside the room and took out a metal baseball bat.

If outside was a real postman that's fine, but if it's a guy with ulterior motives, hmph hmph hmph, then she'll let the other party know the gold content of an eighteen-year-old Kendo 9th Dan.

"Click~"

The door was opened; the excitement in Bai Chun Li Xu's pupils grew thicker; he threw away the cardboard box serving as disguise, gripped the small knife with both hands, ready to lunge and stab.

However, just as he stepped out, the door was already wide open, but the person inside did not appear at the doorway, instead maintaining some distance from the doorway.

Bai Chun Li Xu's idea of opening the door to kill shattered; his small knife wanted to stab a person, it needed at least three more steps forward.

But at this time, Fujimura Taiga had already seen the knife in his hand; three steps' distance was completely enough to react.

Directly gripping the baseball bat, she struck down at Bai Chun Li Xu's knife-holding hands.

"Clang, crack......"

The knife and metal baseball bat collided, making a sound first, followed by the sound of the knife along with the hand bones gripping the knife being broken by the metal bat.

Severe pain transmitted; Bai Chun Li Xu had no time to shout; subconsciously he retreated and tilted his head back; the beast instinct after awakening his Origin helped him dodge Fujimura Taiga's following stride-thrust; the bat's tip missed and stabbed into the wall behind, making a dull thud.

The reflected force made Fujimura Taiga's hands a bit numb; Bai Chun Li Xu, who had collapsed on the ground to dodge the attack, didn't dare speak a word, scrambled up from the ground and ran toward the stairwell.

"Stop, you bastard in front, don't run!"

Recovered Fujimura Taiga raised her bat and chased up; that imposing manner, as if she was the one who wanted to kill.

Bai Chun Li Xu absolutely didn't dare look back; danger instinct told him the guy chasing behind him was like an enraged tigress; as long as he dared look back, the one who would definitely die would be himself.

"Don't let me meet you again, you scoundrel!"

Chased three streets with the bat; burdened Fujimura Taiga finally had no strength to continue chasing; cursed loudly, could only watch the bad guy who wanted to commit home-invasion robbery dart into the alley at the street corner, figure disappearing.

Bai Chun Li Xu ran a long distance, until confirming behind him really no one was chasing, only then collapsed sitting in an alley.

"What the hell is with that guy, why was he on guard, and why so strong, feeling like completely can't beat him."

Both hands' bones broken; earlier when urgently escaping didn't feel it, but now only feel very painful.

Rolled on the ground for a while, Bai Chun Li Xu then climbed up, like a wounded beast, hid into the darkness.

He needed to treat his injuries, but he had nowhere to go, so Bai Chun Li Xu planned to go search for the person who could help him awaken his Origin.

When Broly came looking, Fujimura Taiga was still grumbling and cursing.

"What happened, Fujimura-sensei?"

"Nothing much, just now there was a burglar who tried to rob me."

Hearing this, Broly's gaze sharpened, and he asked: "Do you need my help?"

"No need, that person was already driven off by me. If not for them running fast, I definitely would have knocked them down and dragged them to the police station."

Just as Broly looked in the direction Fujimura Taiga had walked over from, thinking whether to fire off an Indiscriminate Destruction Energy Bullet in that direction, he heard Fujimura Taiga ask: "Tonight, what did you bring me to eat?"

"I didn't bring food, but rather to take you there to eat. Tonight everyone eats grilled meat together."

"Grilled meat? Haven't had it in a long time. I'll go upstairs and close the door."

Sky big earth big, nothing is bigger than eating. Fujimura Taiga quickly tossed the bad guy who sought her out to the back of her mind, and Broly also didn't mind along with her.

Taking Fujimura Taiga flying over to the city center side, finding a grilled meat restaurant and starting to grill not long after, Rin Tohsaka also finished handling the business investigation commission and rushed over to the grilled meat restaurant side.

"Here, grilled pork belly."

"So hot!"

"Blow on it before eating."

"Qiu Long, you sit down and eat together too."
