Chapter 365

【Magdanyl laughed heartily; if it appeared in a TV commercial or something, those white teeth would likely shine.】

【This guy is definitely a qualified politician.】

【Melvin: "No, no, since it's the wish of both mother and Mr. Magdanyl, I can't refuse. For my best friend, this shouldn't be a bad thing either. Right, Waver?"】

【Second: "That's for sure, it's an honor to meet you."】

【Afterwards, the Second and Reines took their seats, Magdanyl kept getting close to them, and even brought a chef, and the few chatted while eating.】

Rin Tohsaka: "So this guy is a mama's boy."】

Caules: "Lord Trambelio looks very kind."】

Fiore: "After all, he is the leader of the Democratic faction; if he weren't kind, how could he sit in this position."】

Kayneth: "Hmph—"】

Rin Tohsaka: "Lord Kayneth seems to really dislike this one."】

Feng Xi: "After all, one is the Aristocratic faction, and the other is the Democratic faction."】

Rin Tohsaka: "But the Second looks like he should also be inclined to the Democratic faction, then Waver—"】

Illya: "In the future, it might evolve into a master-disciple competition."】

Waver: "(ーー゛)—"】

Kayneth: "Hey! I'm talking to you guys!!!"

【On Gray's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, they are investigating Gesherz Tolman's workshop.】

【The Second still doesn't trust Aozaki Touko.】

【Aozaki Touko doesn't care either, drinking coffee leisurely, and chatting with the Second.】

【Second: "You said Heartless's disciples are all survivors, what's going on?"】

【Aozaki Touko: "Well, I was also convinced that they were all survivors after seeing your list. However, I have heard news about the remaining two. I remember they were in the same team when they sneaked into the labyrinth, right?"】

【Second: "Same team..."】

【This is definitely not a coincidence; what kind of meaning does it have?】

【Looking at the various spell bodies in the bottles and jars around, this is definitely not something that can be obtained on the ground, it is undoubtedly from Albion.】

【Gesherz Tolman hasn't entered Albion for a long time, how could he have these things?】

【Does this mean that Albion has a smuggling pipeline, and does Heartless know about it?】

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah! Smuggling? Does this kind of thing happen in Albion too!"】

Feng Xi: "This kind of thing happens everywhere; after all, profit moves people's hearts."】

Ishtar: "I really don't understand you humans, these residues were everywhere in our time, and they were all treated as garbage."】

Waver: "You said it yourself, that was your era."】

【Just then, an explosion sounded.】

【It was Flat; this kid forcibly broke open the door of the back room, making himself covered in dust.】

【Second: "I told you not to do this without permission!"】

【Flat: "No, look, because the doggy sniffed, saying that this area is probably the center of the workshop, I couldn't help it!"】

【Svin: "Wait, Flat! I clearly gave you advice not to touch that, don't Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take things out of context and push the blame on me! I should say, don't call me doggy!"】

【Flat: "Seeing a fun puzzle game in front of me, of course I want to try to solve it! Tracking the shadow of the spell formula branded on the wall is interesting, I wanted to try it... ah, but, it seems someone hacked into this workshop one step ahead, and as a result, I just touched the central spell formula, and it disintegrated by itself."】

【"Someone hacked into here one step ahead?"】

【The Second's tone became tense, and Aozaki Touko narrowed her eyes slightly.】

【"Ah, kid, are you that type? I originally thought you belonged to the type who could make dolls directly without a design drawing; it turns out you are the type who can reverse-engineer the design drawing by looking at the doll?"】

【Flat: "The tendency of that spell formula in composition, I have seen it in little Gray's hometown. Having said that, I saw it through Mr. Zepia's crystal ball."】

【Second: "Gray's hometown? Could it be that you mean the one in that hut..."】

【Flat: "Yes, the tendency of the spell formula in composition is the same as Mr. Heartless's spell formula."】

【Heartless hacked into his disciple's workshop? What is going on? Could it be related to the disappearance event?】

Rin Tohsaka: "This is not surprising, after all, the biggest suspect is Heartless."】

Waver: "But Heartless grabbed his disciples one by one at this juncture, what exactly does he want to do?"】

【Before he could think deeply, the Second had to touch his temple: "Sorry, Magdanyl is asking me a question. I want to focus on the meeting for the time being."】

【Coming to the Second's main body, the dishes have been served one after another.】

【How should I put it, it's really bold, modern British-style meals, but the scene is an American-style lunch meeting.】

【If seen by the Aristocratic Lords, they would probably spray directly.】

【However, this is also the source of the Democratic faction's drive. As long as the method is more reasonable and efficient, they will calmly absorb and adopt it.】

【Their goal is to guide society to further prosperity, and they will not spare any effort to do what is needed to achieve the goal; this is their policy of action.】

【I see, it is natural for people to think that the Modern Magecraft Department is closer to the Democratic faction than the Aristocratic faction.】

Kayneth: "Hmph, neither fish nor fowl."】

Kairi Sisigou: "Sure enough, Lord El-Melloi can't stand this way."】

Mordred: "Tch, hypocritical formalism, can this stuff fill you up?"】

Waver: "It wasn't meant to fill you up anyway."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Finally understood. The so-called Aristocratic faction and Democratic faction can actually be said to be the conservative faction and the reformist faction."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "... bout the same, but there are still some differences."】

He didn't explain in detail, after all, the Tohsaka family is strictly speaking also a conservative faction.】

Rin Tohsaka is almost 9 years old now, but she knows nothing about modern electrical appliances.】

Because there are none at home, and Tokiomi Tohsaka also rejects their use.】

But now that she has seen so much, Tokiomi Tohsaka can't help but start thinking about whether to make some changes.】
