Chapter 319 The Master Puppet Master Who Switches Bodies, the White-Haired Assassin Wei Daxia!
Kirei Kotomine looked at his daughter in the courtyard, who was preparing to learn how to fight the boy, and couldn't help but look forward to the scene of his daughter being brutally beaten.
Although Kirei Kotomine is crippled, his nature remains terrible; he finds pleasure in seeing the suffering of others.
But he soon felt guilty about the vague expectation in his heart: "I am such a bad priest, and a terrible father."
"Are you ready?"
"certainly."
"Well then, here I come!"
Broly checked and then charged toward Karen.
A punch was thrown directly at her face, but the little nun ducked to dodge it.
The attack came from below, a downward thrust aimed at his jaw.
Broly leaned back to dodge the palm strike, then turned and delivered an extremely slow sweeping kick.
The young nun reacted quickly, following the direction of his sweeping leg and moving closer to him.
The retracted arm transformed into an elbow and fell towards his chest.
However, Broly held her back with his hand, which he had placed in front of his chest beforehand.
"Clap clap clap..."
Immediately following was a series of fluid, close-quarters attacks, each side exchanging offense and defense.
It felt as if the two of them had rehearsed beforehand, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Rin Tohsaka and Sakura watched with great interest, while Kirei Kotomine, sitting in a wheelchair next to them, kept twitching at the corner of his eye.
They have a good relationship. Seven years ago, the boy could easily break his bones and knock him out, and kill the King of Heroes. Now, he can fight his ten-year-old daughter to a standstill. Is this holding back? No, it's like letting a whole ocean pass by. Why is he treating her so differently?
"Father wasn't lying, you really are amazing."
After the series of close-quarters combat ended, Karen's breathing became a little rapid, and while catching her breath, she praised the boy who had been fighting her to a standstill.
"You're great too. You have a good physical foundation, and your movements are clean, crisp, and steady."
Broly exchanged pleasantries while deliberately feigning shortness of breath.
And this kind of sparring partner is a professional.
The main focus is on maximizing emotional value.
Look, on the Crystal Palace panel, Karen's happiness level has already climbed up.
Before long, the number had already broken into single digits.
Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the details.
Unfortunately, none of those present were experts; they could only see the back-and-forth fighting moves and didn't notice the Saiyan boy's extreme pulling and fine-tuning of his strikes.
Especially after Broly discovered that some fleshy parts of the little nun's body were hit, it would excite the girl even more. So he subtly adjusted his output and the location of his attacks, and unintentionally hit the girl's fleshy parts, making her happiness value rise even faster.
Karen bit her lip. The feeling of being hit in certain areas during the fight with the boy gave her a sense of satisfaction when she was a child and her father used a rattan cane to teach her Bajiquan. He would correct her mistakes and whip her.
Like Kirei Kotomine, who was corrupt inside and an unfit priest, Karen Oldencia was also an unfit nun.
Although the life experiences they have had are completely different from their original destiny, their deepest essence will not be easily changed.
For example, they might have a bit of a masochistic streak and derive pleasure from painful experiences. Or they might have an excessively strong curiosity and, after accidentally seeing an adult comic book discarded on the roadside, begin to yearn for and become interested in the adult world.
Of course, as a nun in the church, the precepts required Karen to maintain her purity at all times, while the intertwining of reason and desire gave her a contradictory personality.
Therefore, when this personality is brought out through fighting, it gives the originally dignified little nun a wanton air.
She punched the boy recklessly, like a berserker, and after being hit, her face showed an even more excited expression.
He only calmed down after his strength gradually gave out and he was kicked in the butt by Broly, which made him stagger and almost fall flat on his face.
"Hmm, not bad. I admit your stamina is a bit better than mine, but if we were to really fight, I would definitely be stronger. After all, I haven't used my spiritual artifacts yet."
The young nun, now back to her dignified appearance, said this, leaving Kirei Kotomine, sitting in a wheelchair beside her, with little room for comment.
The sacred artifact on the daughter, the Shroud of Magdalene, is indeed very powerful in its restraining abilities, but it would probably be of little use against a boy who had released a whole sea and was acting so convincingly.
Seven years ago, the boy used terrifying power to spread the secret ritual of the Holy Grail War to the whole world.
The fake Holy Grail ceremonies held around the world today are basically all thanks to the opponent's attack that changed the local celestial phenomena and almost caused the moon to fall to the ground.
With such power, what use is Magdalene's shroud?
"That was quite a sparring match, but I don't understand why you wouldn't let my daughter witness your true strength?"
Kirei Kotomine pushed his wheelchair over and began to ask questions.
"This is my true strength."
Broly answered seriously.
After a fight, the happiness level of the little nun, whom he had only known for a short time, reached more than 20 points. What else could this be but strength?
Do you think I'd believe that?
Kirei Kotomine retorted.
"Whether you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?"
Broly looked at him, puzzled.
"Hey, Father, don't make it sound like I was let off easy. This guy was clearly fighting me with all his might."
The young nun began to complain.
"Ha, little Karen, don't get me wrong. Although you and he fought back and forth quite well just now, if Broly got serious, he could probably knock you down with ease."
Rin Tohsaka, standing nearby, revealed the truth.
"Yes, Karen-chan, Broly is amazing."
Fujimura Sakura nodded in agreement with her sister's words.
I don't believe it.
The young nun looked incredulous; during their close combat, she had even noticed the boy's heavy breathing.
"If you don't believe me, feel free to make him go all out, and then try it."
Rin Tohsaka was egging them on from the sidelines, and clearly, she succeeded.
The disbelieving white-haired little nun, after regaining some strength, dragged Broly along and insisted that he do it for real.
Broly was somewhat helpless and had no choice but to comply.
The moment the second round of the contest began, he flashed behind the little nun.
With just one chop to the neck, Karen was knocked unconscious.
However, he still managed to reach out and hug her, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"That's more like it!"
Kirei Kotomine was very satisfied.
"here it is?"
Half an hour later, Karen slowly woke up. Looking at the familiar ceiling of the lounge, she suddenly remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.
"Now, Karen, you finally know how formidable others are, don't you?"
Kirei Kotomine watched with satisfaction as his daughter hugged her knees on the sofa, looking somewhat lost in self-doubt.
"That's why I'm unwilling to do that."
Broly, on the other hand, looked somewhat dejectedly at the Crystal Palace panel, where the little nun's happiness level was steadily declining.
A significant difference in strength often won't make the target of your advances think you're very capable.
On the contrary, it may damage the self-esteem of some targets.
"Brother Broly, could you teach me some martial arts? I'd like to spar with you."
Of course, there were also girls who became interested in fighting skills because of the performance and sparring just now.
Sakura wanted to learn a couple of fighting techniques from him so that she could have a fair and square sparring session with him.
"I also know a couple of moves of Bajiquan, how about we lend a hand?"
Having just taken a shower, Rin Tohsaka immediately got to work, her hands itching, and she took off her coat and invited the boy over.
Two minutes before the white-haired little nun woke up, it was exactly the time she and Broly finished their sparring match.
Rin Tohsaka was still a little wet. The boy's superb acting skills, which allowed her to fight a battle where she didn't have to hold back, yet still felt like she had met her match.
That means Rin Tohsaka is already Broly's wife, otherwise her happiness level would definitely skyrocket.
However, although there was no happiness stat, the sparring and interaction with Broly still allowed her and Broly to gain some happiness points.
Sixty-odd points is enough to buy about five pork chop rice bowls. If Broly could earn these happiness points every day for 24 hours, it would be enough to sustain his stay in this world.
Unfortunately, the acquisition of these happiness points, just like the happiness stat, seems to have a limit within a unit of time.
When Rin Tohsaka's stamina was nearly depleted and her emotions gradually returned to normal, the amount of happiness points the two gained also returned to normal.
Interacting with your current spouse will yield a greater number of happiness points than you would normally generate daily.
Broly wrote it down, and the process was similar to grinding up happiness points—both were about making his wife happy.
"I'll come again tomorrow; I'll take my leave now."
After saying he would come to see the little nun the next day, Broly left the Fuyuki Church with Rin Tohsaka and Sakura.
He first took Rin Tohsaka back to the Tohsaka family home, and then carried Sakura back to the Fujimura family home.
"Is Broly going to visit Taiga?"
"Um."
Broly nodded. He missed Fujimura Taiga. Perhaps because he was busy, the college students in the group chat room hadn't been speaking much lately.
"When you go to visit Taiga-neechan, can you also visit Illya? She's in the same city where Taiga-neechan is currently interning, and Uncle Emiya took her to see a doctor."
"Huh?"
Seeing the boy's surprise, Sakura quickly explained, "Ilya is a shy and kind girl. Although she is older than me, she is more like a younger sister."
She told me that she was very curious about what kind of person you were, Broly. Two months ago, when she learned that you were coming back to this world, she was really looking forward to your arrival.
Unfortunately, Uncle Emiya took her to see a doctor, and before leaving, she asked me to have Broly visit her after you arrived.
"Uh, why didn't she tell me herself?"
Broly was a little confused.
"Well, maybe she's a little shy. After all, she's never met you, Broly, and she hasn't spoken to you much in the group chat. Of course, the main reason she doesn't talk is that Ilya has relatively few happiness points..."
Of all the wives, Ilya is the most special one. Broly and she have never met, so it was an arranged marriage.
Although Ilya was the first official member of the Crystal Palace, she had no emotional connection with the other wives before becoming one, which meant she missed out on the process of accumulating happiness points compared to the other wives.
Even though Broly did generate some happiness points when he got his first wife, the single-digit happiness points converted into very few happiness points, and they were all consumed while he was still in the Einzbern family.
Ilya is arguably the poorest white-haired loli wife ever.
"Okay, so where is she? Is she also where Fujimura-nee is currently living?"
Broly inquired about the wife he wanted to visit in this world, adding one more to his list.
"Brother Broly, wait a minute, I'll call and ask."
Sakura took out her flip phone again and dialed a number.
After being taken away from the Einzbern family, Ilya came to live next to the Fujimura family's old house and became Sakura's neighbor.
As both are wives and live very close to each other, Sakura and Illya naturally have a good relationship, but Illya is somewhat frail.
. . . .
In Kanbuko City, at the magic workshop "Garan no Dou" located in a half-finished building, Kiritsugu Emiya, with slightly graying hair, asked the puppeteer opposite him, "Ms. Aozaki, is there any progress on creating a healthy body for my daughter?"
"Yes, I have finished analyzing the Einzbern homunculi data you brought. There are no problems with creating a healthy body for your daughter now."
However, I could only transfer her consciousness to a new body, but I couldn't replicate the Lesser Grail system that was originally inside her body.
That system harmed your daughter's life, but it also gave her a powerful talent as a magician. If you can accept that your daughter will become unable to use magic afterward, I can perform a consciousness transfer ritual for her right now.
The puppeteer, having removed her glasses, was somewhat objective and harsh. She calmly recounted to the magician-assassin, who had come to her for a fee, the price that would have to be paid to transfer his daughter's consciousness into a puppet's body.
Her doll-making skills are unparalleled, but she still cannot have her cake and eat it too. After all, the Lesser Grail System is the accumulation of the Einzbern family, and it is not something she can analyze and use in a short period of time.
As for the girl Ilya, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she has at most three years, and three years is not enough time for her to crack the Lesser Grail System.
"The only problem is that I can't use magic. That's not a big issue."
Emiya Kiritsugu, or rather, the great swordsman Emiya who fights for his daughter, doesn't care whether his daughter can retain her magician's aptitude. He only hopes that his daughter can grow up healthy and strong, and that's enough for him.
"Then, please transfer the money, Mr. Emiya. Once your final payment is received, I will immediately take care of your request."
Kiritsugu Emiya opened his laptop and transferred money to the puppeteer in front of him, whose skills in creating lifelike dolls were superb.
Having dealt with the Einzbern family, who had no intention of letting go of his daughter and only wanted to use Illya to keep him working for them, and by selling off the family's magical heritage, Kiritsugu Emiya is now far from short of money.
Even though the search for renowned doctors for her daughter had cost a great deal, the remaining funds were enough to cover the cost of hiring the designated puppeteer for this sealing project.
"Come with me, little sister Ilya. You'll be fine after you change bodies."
Wearing glasses, the puppeteer, whose personality had been switched, became more humane. She came to Ilya, who was sitting obediently on the sofa, and spoke to the girl in a gentle tone.
Ilya looked at her father, and after he nodded, she followed the intellectual and mature-looking Aozaki Touko to the next room.
Aozaki Touko was already very skilled at consciousness transfer magic, and she quickly helped Illya transfer her consciousness from her damaged original body to a healthy lifelike doll body.
"How does it feel?"
She asked the question like a dentist inquiring about the fit of dentures.
"It feels just like my original body, but much more relaxed."
Ilya moved around in her new body and felt much more relaxed than her original one, and the Crystal Palace panel was also working properly.
"Very good, now put on your clothes."
Aozaki Touko had already handed over the girl's clothes, while she carefully put away the body the girl had changed out of.
"Mr. Emiya, I will continue to research the Einzbern family's Lesser Grail system. If my doll-making technology makes a breakthrough in the future, I am willing to provide your daughter with a new body."
Of course, this will require you to cover a small difference in material costs. If you need this service, please leave a contact method that will remain unchanged for a long time.
Aozaki Touko didn't intend to leave her contact information. She was currently the Magician designated by the Mage Association as the Sealing Magician, and she might run away from here any day.
"Thank you very much, Ms. Aozaki. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Kiritsugu Emiya left his contact information. Touko Aozaki would be his daughter's body care provider in the future. For Illya's future, he also hoped that she could live a long life.
After confirming that his daughter was alright, Kiritsugu Emiya took Illya and left the Garan no To Magic Workshop, which appeared to be an unfinished building.
Also leaving was the Heroic Spirit Emiya, who was hiding in the shadows, almost a carbon copy of Kiritsugu Emiya.
He fought alongside Kiritsugu Emiya in many fake Holy Grail Wars, and in the final one, he and Kiritsugu plotted to obtain the flesh, and then together they destroyed the Einzbern family. He can be considered Illya's Heroic Spirit father.
"Having a magician assassin with Heroic Spirit-level combat power, I could ask him for help if needed in the future."
Aozaki Touko memorized the contact information written down by Emiya Kiritsugu. Suddenly, a blue flame ignited in her hand. She lit a cigarette, took a puff, and the paper with the contact information turned to ashes.
"Ring ring~"
The moment she stepped out of the unfinished building, Illya's phone rang. Under Kiritsugu Emiya's watchful gaze, the girl answered the call.
"Hey, Broly's coming to see me?!"
