Chapter 750: · Reasoning at the Grand Resolution

Kayneth: "This woman! How could she appear here?"

【That's right, the person following Hishiri Kaeno was actually Aozaki Touko.】

【"Oh my, I thought the meeting had just started, could it be that I was mistaken?"】

【Looking at the person who came, Lufrueus whispered hatefully: "... Aozaki... Touko... this is not a place for vulgar people like you... to enter!"】

【This gnashing tone, I don't know if I would think they had a deep hatred.】

【Aozaki Touko: "Hahaha, that is truly mean, old man of the Spirit Department."】

【Saying this, she took off her glasses, and the nature of her smile changed slightly.】

【"However, this time I have the qualification to officially participate. Although the old man must be very uncomfortable, this is also the result of tradition, please forgive me."】

【Lufrueus: "... You said qualification... what a joke..."】

【The next moment, the old man's words stopped directly, because Aozaki Touko took out an old piece of parchment and waved it proudly.】

【"I think you already understand. That's right, I am now the Lord's agent."】

Kayneth: "What? Lord's agent!"

Which family is so bold to let a woman like Aozaki Touko be their agent.

Shishigou Kairi: "Oh my, it's truly a dramatic change."

Fiore: "Perhaps, this is not a sudden accident."

Caules: "How so, sister?"

Fiore: "That girl from the El-Melloi family doesn't seem surprised by this."

Caules: "Looking at it this way, really."

Waver: "Uh, I already understand what's going on."

These two women getting together can truly turn the Zhong Ta upside down.

【Hishiri Kaeno: "I guarantee in the name of the Law Department that this letter of commission is genuine."】

【Hearing this, the air was immediately filled with tense silence.】

【Inorai: "... You are still the same, accepting commissions from strange places."】

【Aozaki Touko: "Because I have received very good edification from my teacher."】

【Lufrueus: "... The commissioner... is... which family?"】

【"It is the Lord of the 'Jigumale' of the Curse Department."】

【Aozaki Touko smiled: "Rather than saying that, it is better to say it is the representative of the Neutral Faction. Therefore, I will also participate in this Grand Resolution with formal voting rights. Ah, I hope you can rest assured. Of course, I don't have the voting rights of the other families of the Neutral Faction. Even if I did, you shouldn't admit it."】

【Saying this, she sat down leisurely.】

【("—... I say, lady, could it be...")】

【("—Hehe, of course it was my idea. After all, if we want to find Hartless's accomplice, we definitely need an uncertain factor who is determined not to listen to Hartless's instructions, right?")】

【Thus, before separating at the Slur event, Reines successfully incited Aozaki Touko—well, it should be the Neutral Faction Lord who secretly commissioned Aozaki Touko.】

【The method was also very simple, which was to tell the other party about Hartless and the rift they broke into in the Spirit Tomb underground in Slur.】

【Although the Neutral Faction chose to stand by for this Grand Resolution, since such an unexpected event occurred, it was difficult for them to completely ignore it.】

【Precisely because of this, the Neutral Faction high-level officials who usually avoid being affected by political struggles had to accept Reines's provocation.】

【It was just an unexpected thing that they would arrange for Aozaki Touko to serve as an agent.】

【("—Then, when did you know that the employer who commissioned Miss Aozaki to search for Hartless's apprentice was Neutralist?")】

【("—I guess it counts as a guess based on intuition.")】

【According to Aozaki Touko's identity, the Aristocratic Faction could be excluded from the beginning. As for the Democratic Faction, if they wanted to use Aozaki Touko, whether it was Magdaniel or Inorai, they would have hidden her more secretly. Therefore, according to the elimination method, only the Neutral Faction remained.】

【Even if they had no intention of getting involved in this Grand Resolution, they should also want to obtain information in the first time, so it is only natural that they would choose Aozaki Touko, who had indirect contact with Hartless during the Twin Towers event.】

Tohsaka Rin: "So Miss Reines also left a backup plan early on."

Kayneth: "Hmm, in this situation, dragging the Neutral Faction into the water is indeed a good way."

Waver: "However, although the Neutral Faction says they don't participate, they are not honest at all."

Kayneth: "Hmph, don't underestimate the Neutral Faction; those guys are the most cunning group of people."

Feng Xi: "It's the so-called fence-sitter, why be so obscure."

Kayneth: "Uh..."

Tohsaka Rin: "Neutrality shouldn't count as fence-sitting, right?"

Shishigou Kairi: "The immovable neutrality counts as neutrality. Like them, the constant small actions are really just fence-sitters; whoever makes them profit, they lean toward."

Shishigou Kairi: "Hartless's actions are likely to touch their interests, so they moved this time."

【Magdaniel: "Then old Mr. Lufrueus, please continue the previous topic."】

【Aozaki Touko: "Ah, ah, that boring topic that makes one want to sleep has been said enough."】

【Olga Marie: "What did you say!"】

【Aozaki Touko shrugged and said: "Anyway, it's still the usual confrontation between the Aristocratic and Democratic Factions, right? Arguing about whether to treat the new generation as part of the Zhong Ta while maintaining an expansion route, or simply shrinking the Zhong Ta itself and taking a long-life route that cherishes expenses. That kind of thing is all about personal interest in the end. I want to hear different points of view."】

【"Hmm, it was not easy to arrive here, you guys are almost ready, El-Melloi?"】

【Reines suppressed the impulse to laugh and said: "What do you mean?"】

【Aozaki Touko: "Don't play dumb, this is a case. Since you walked here, and the will to resist still remains in your eyes, it means you saw an ending, right?"】

【("—Hey, brother.")】

【("—I know, that guy means she wants us to perform a reasoning show at this Grand Resolution.")】

【This is how arrogant it is; just for her pleasure, she wants to overturn the Grand Resolution that determines the fate of the Zhong Ta.】

Kotomine Kirei: "Hmm, it seems this woman is also a fellow traveler."

Kayneth: "Aozaki Touko, this woman is truly presumptuous."

Shishigou Kairi: "Reasoning at the Grand Resolution, this is truly too interesting."

【("—Did you find it? She said 'we'. This means she knows that you and I are contacting through telepathy, right?")】

【("—Then like last time, use part of Trimmau to create brother's body.")】

【("—No, doing so cannot maintain persuasiveness. Anyway, it is a Grand Resolution; if I don't follow the form of attending the venue, no matter what reasoning I put forward, how would the other Lords accept it?")】

【("—Hey, hey, what should we do otherwise?")】

【("—You say it.")】
