Chapter 340 The Asagami Family's Attitude
Having temporarily satisfied Kokutou Senka's curiosity, Tohsaka Rin inquired about Asagami Fujino's situation: "Ms. Asagami, would you mind telling me about your family?"
Asagami Fujino was rather naive and didn't have much wariness even towards people she had just met, but she nodded and said, "As long as it's something I know."
"Did anyone in your family teach you about the Twisted Eye?"
"No, I only found out I have this ability today."
Asagami Fujino was born with the Twisted Mystic Eyes, but unfortunately, her childhood memories are blurred.
"And what about knowledge about the mysterious?"
"What is that?"
Rin Tohsaka was not surprised by her question.
What about your relationship with your family?
"Only my mother cares about me at home; everyone else treats me like I don't exist."
Rin Tohsaka frowned, somewhat confused by the Asagami family's actions.
The owner of the Magic Eye would not be treated like air in any magic family.
"This may be related to the fact that I am not my father's biological daughter."
However, the girl's next sentence answered Rin Tohsaka's question.
Asagami Fujino was taken by her mother to remarry.
Her stepfather, however, was somewhat indifferent to her.
Although he never lacked food or drink, he didn't give his stepdaughter, Asagami Fujino, any affection whatsoever.
"When I was in elementary school, I saw others get full marks on tests and receive praise from their parents, so I also worked hard to get full marks. But when I showed my father the test paper with the full marks, all I got was a 'Really?' He didn't care about my grades."
However, my mother praised me, although she seemed a little cautious and was watching my father's expression, but my father did not stop her from doing so.
"That's right, after my mother and father had a new child, she didn't praise me as much as she did when I was a child."
The girl's voice was soft as she recounted the story of a blended family where a child with a parental burden was neglected in the new home.
The story sounded a bit sad, but Asagami Fujino didn't show much sadness on her face.
On the contrary, because she was munching on the snacks that Broly kept placing in her hand, and after tasting the various flavors, she even had a happy look on her face.
With the false seal of painlessness broken and her sense of taste fully restored, Asagami Fujino finds everything being put into her hands incredibly delicious.
"Given your situation, it's possible that your Demon Eye suddenly awakened today."
"Rin Tohsaka said."
"Huh, can this kind of unusual ability be suddenly acquired?"
Heitong Xianhua pointed to the twisted cup lid on the ground and asked.
"The world is vast and full of wonders. It's not impossible for a normal person to suddenly awaken their Origin Ability."
"Can I do it too?"
Rin Tohsaka looked at her speechlessly.
"I don't know about yours, but could you please not speak to me? I'm dealing with her problem right now."
"oh."
Black Paulownia Flowers sat back down after raising her bottom.
"The question now is, what will the Asagami family's attitude be towards you, now that you've suddenly awakened your Mystic Eyes?"
On the bright side, Asagami Fujino will be valued by the Asagami family.
But on the other hand, will Asagami Fujino be feared?
After all, the Asagami family absorbed the Asagami family as a branch family, and Asagami Fujino, who was taken by her mother to remarry, can be said to be a potential successor of the Asagami family. From the perspective of the head of the family, would the head of the Asagami family, who is also the girl's stepfather, worry that the girl will restore the main family that was absorbed in the future?
If they were truly wary, it wouldn't be impossible for this girl named Asagami Fujino to die unexpectedly.
Of course, now that the girl has been confirmed as a Crystal Palace-approved reserve member and has agreed to become Broly's wife, the probability of her having an accident is definitely greater than the probability of Broly causing an accident to happen to the entire family.
"I don't know what my father's attitude will be, maybe he won't have any attitude at all, after all, I'm not an important member of the family."
"Just because you were ignored in the past doesn't mean you'll be ignored now. Hmm, if you want to figure out what attitude your current family will have towards you, you have to find out if there were any grudges between them when the Asagami family swallowed up the Asagami family."
"So what should we do? Should we just go and ask them directly?"
Black tung flowers ask.
"If you just go to their door and ask, will they tell you the truth?"
Rin Tohsaka countered with a question.
"If you don't tell the truth, I can help you."
Broly rolled up his sleeves.
继父不疼娘不爱什幺的，只要拎起老登痛揍上一顿就好了。
"No need for that, we have a better way."
"What method?"
"Miss Aozaki's Garan no Doraemon is also an information agency."
Tasks like intelligence gathering should be left to professionals.
Rin Tohsaka decided to go to Garan no Dou to gather information about the Asagami family.
"Can I come with you?"
"If you're going, then go. There's not much to see at the sports meet anyway."
Rin Tohsaka's words were met with agreement from the others.
"I haven't packed my things yet."
Knowing that she would be taken along as well, Asagami Fujino quickly said.
"I'll help you pack, and I'll say hello to Sister Tengcun while I'm at it."
Broly volunteered and went to find Fujimura Taiga.
After explaining the situation to Fujimura Taiga, the intern teacher waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, just don't forget to bring me dinner tonight."
Broly nodded and ran back to the arena to find Asagami Fujino's friend and explain that the girl was leaving early.
After receiving the girl's promise to explain to the teacher, he packed Asagami Fujino's things and ran away.
"Fujino, may I call you that?"
Sakura asked.
"Yes, that's fine."
The girl nodded.
"You can't see right now, let me help you walk."
"I'll help too."
Ilya moved closer, flanking Asagami Fujino on either side of Sakura.
"Thanks."
The girl thanked them. Although she had temporarily lost her sight, the restoration of her sense of touch and the feeling of having her hands held made her feel that her existence was so real.
"By the way, Ryougi, is your car big enough to fit all of us?"
Rin Tohsaka asked Ryougi Shiki.
"It should be fine, my car has a pretty spacious interior."
A black, extended sedan pulled up and stopped at the school gate.
The butler, Qiu Long, came down to open the door, and a group of people climbed into the car; it wasn't crowded.
Where are they?
Around this time, Kokutou Mikiya returned from the teaching building looking for his physiology textbooks, only to find that Broly's spot was empty.
"Turn left over there..."
Rin Tohsaka sat in the passenger seat and helped with navigation. The car turned left and right in the city and soon arrived near the unfinished building of Garan no To.
The gap in the building that Broly made when he first came here has now been reinforced with steel plates and painted with paint similar to the walls. From the outside, it is impossible to tell that the unfinished building of Garan Hall is any different from other unfinished buildings.
"Is Ms. Tohsaka here to inspect the progress of the research project?"
When the group entered the unfinished building, the owner of the Garan Hall had already discovered their presence.
When Rin Tohsaka went upstairs and entered the agency's office, Touko Aozaki was already sitting on the other side of the desk, wearing her glasses and waiting.
"That's irrelevant. I'm here to ask you about the Asagami family."
Rin Tohsaka got straight to the point.
"Why would you inquire about the Asagami family for no reason?"
Aozaki Touko was a little curious.
"This is the stepdaughter of the Asagami family. She may have awakened her Twisted Mystic Eyes today, and she is not yet able to control their power. As a friend, I am prepared to help her, but I don't know what the Asagami family's attitude is towards her as the possessor of the Mystic Eyes."
Rin Tohsaka explained succinctly.
"A stepdaughter, then she used to be a member of the Asagami family. Hmm, the Asagami family doesn't really have a good impression of the Asagami family from the past."
Aozaki Touko stopped there and didn't continue.
Rin Tohsaka understood and asked directly, "So, how much do you want for the information?"
"This isn't exactly secret information, but it's something most people wouldn't know. Two hundred thousand yen."
"Credit card or cash?"
"Anything is fine."
Aozaki Touko took out a POS machine, and Tohsaka Rin took out a black card.
As soon as the black card was swiped, Aozaki Touko uttered the words, "Thank you for your patronage."
Then, the puppeteer in front of me, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, revealed the corresponding information.
What's worth mentioning here is the situation regarding the exorcist family.
In the Type-Moon world, there exists something called "Demon," and thus, exorcism forces that hate "Demon" have also emerged.
The most famous is the Holy Church, but this is a Western exorcism force.
In the Far East, the four most famous families in the past were the four great demon-slaying families.
The so-called exorcism is the process of correcting distorted species.
The power used by demons and exorcists is a natural intervention method under the same set of rules.
Exorcism can correct the distortions of nature, but it cannot interfere with the distortions within humanity itself.
Therefore, there is a lack of effective countermeasures against species that are hybrids of demons and humans.
Being human while also possessing demonic blood, they sometimes become allies in exorcising demons, and at other times become the greatest adversaries in exorcising demons.
The Asagami family is one of the four great exorcism families that advocates using demons to subdue demons. This family advocates hybridization with demons, using humanity to suppress the demonic nature of demons, thereby creating more powerful exorcists. In the past, they gained powerful exorcism power and status through this method.
However, as times changed, naturally distorted demons no longer appeared in the world, and society's demand for exorcism services decreased. While exorcism families were seeking new paths and changes, the Asagami family still spent a lot of money to maintain the concept of hybrids, and its decline became inevitable.
"Four years ago, the Asagami family declared bankruptcy due to mismanagement. The Asagami family assumed the Asagami family's debts on the condition of obtaining land ownership, and the Asagami family was merged into the Asagami family."
"So, there's nothing dirty going on here, it was a peaceful handover?"
"I don't know if there was anything sordid, but there were no disputes on the surface; it was a peaceful integration."
"So how do you think that family will view the reappearance of a member with the Mystic Eye?"
"The Demon Eye is also a twisted thing. The Asagami family has already paid the price for this, resulting in the decline of the family. Given the Asagami family's current approach of actively embracing the upper class of normal society, they probably wouldn't want to see a demonic person appear in their family again."
The Magic Eye is something many magicians covet, but for the Asagami family, who are prominent in society, the appearance of a Magic Eye user is not welcome, as it represents a hybrid race and is the reason for the family's decline.
"The situation is not optimistic!"
Rin Tohsaka looked at Fujino Asagami and said something, but this pessimistic statement was not directed at the girl, but at the Asagami family behind her.
Given the way Broly beat up his own father back then, once he realizes that the Asagami family might be detrimental to Asagami Fujino, he probably won't be polite to the Asagami family either.
"It's a bit pessimistic, but don't be too pessimistic. Since the Asagami family didn't deal with the Asagami family's hybrids back then, it means that their attitude towards hybrids wasn't primarily about elimination."
After saying this, Aozaki Touko asked Tohsaka Rin, "Do you need me to act as a middleman and contact the head of the Asagami family? I've helped them with some things before, so we have a relationship. However, I'll need to pay a small commission."
Rin Tohsaka felt that the agency fee should actually be paid by the Asagami family, but oh well, what can you do when she's the kindest?
"Alright, you can help me make the contact."
After swiping her black card again, Aozaki Touko adopted the attitude of serving customers.
After examining the blind girl, he drove his old car and took a group of people to Asakami Construction Co., Ltd.
After showing President Asagami's business card at the reception desk downstairs, making an internal call and receiving approval, he led a group of people onto the elevator that went directly to the top of the building.
"Ms. Aozaki, what brings you to visit me?"
"The person who wants to visit Mr. Asagami this time is not me, but the daughter of the Tohsaka family from Fuyuki City. I was just asked to act as an intermediary and make the connection."
After being led into the office by the female secretary, Aozaki Touko went up to the middle-aged man, exchanged pleasantries, explained the situation, and then gave up her seat.
The Tohsaka family is a prestigious family in the world of magic. In recent years, with the Holy Grail Wars spreading everywhere, they have become very popular. Asagami Yasuzo had also heard of them.
It's just unclear why the Tohsaka family's daughter suddenly came to our door.
"I wonder what brings you here, Ms. Tohsaka? Surely the Asagami family is no longer considered part of the underworld?"
"Master Asagami, I have come to visit you because of your daughter."
Rin Tohsaka, unfazed by the middle-aged man's gaze, stepped forward and spoke.
"my daughter?"
The man seemed puzzled, as if he couldn't recall who it was for a moment.
Until Rin Tohsaka raised her hand and pointed to the girl with the single ponytail who had followed her in.
It was only when he noticed the resemblance between the other person and his wife that the man realized who it was.
"Fujino, what are you doing here?"
Asakami Kangzang frowned.
"Father, I was brought here."
The girl quickly responded to the man's words.
What happened to your eyes?
However, the direction of her gaze while speaking was off, which alerted the middle-aged man, who then asked her about it.
"Your daughter has awakened a demonic eye that is out of control, so I have temporarily shut down her vision."
Rin Tohsaka continued the conversation.
"So, Ms. Tohsaka came looking for you because of Fujino's Mystic Eyes?"
The man asked, in his opinion, that this was the only reason why the Asagami family was being approached by the Tohsaka family's magician.
"You don't seem surprised that your daughter has awakened her Mystic Eyes. Did you already know that Asagami Fujino possessed Mystic Eyes?"
"This has nothing to do with you."
"Alright, I don't covet your daughter's demonic eyes. In fact, she and I are very good friends..."
Rin Tohsaka blurted it out without hesitation; after all, she couldn't possibly say that it was her own boy who had taken a liking to Fujino Asagami and wanted her to be his wife.
"I was a little worried about your family's attitude towards her after she awakened her Mystic Eyes, so I asked Miss Aozaki to act as an intermediary and bring her to visit you."
Upon hearing this, Asagami Yasuzo was taken aback, and his serious expression softened: "My apologies, I thought you, Miss Tohsaka, had designs on my daughter's eyes."
This person's attitude seems a little different...
"I understand, but what I can't understand is, since you clearly knew she possessed the Mystic Eyes, why didn't you teach her to control their power?"
Rin Tohsaka asked the question, and also mentioned Fujino Asagami's Mystic Eyes, which almost hurt her younger sister earlier that day.
"If I hadn't been there to control her demonic eyes in time, it might have caused a disaster at the academy due to the out-of-control demonic eyes."
Faced with Rin Tohsaka's accusation, Yasuzo Asagami solemnly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you very much for your help, Miss Tohsaka. It was indeed our family that made a mistake in sealing the power of the Little Demon Eye. We are willing to offer a considerable sum of money as a token of our appreciation."
"I don't need the money, I just want to know how you will treat her afterwards."
Rin Tohsaka pointed at the girl with lifeless eyes and asked her question.
"We will reseal her demonic eyes."
Asagami Kōzō glanced at his stepdaughter and gave his answer.
"Mr. Asagami, if I may be so bold, the power of the Mystic Eye cannot be solved by simply sealing it, not to mention that your sealing has caused other side effects."
Before coming over, Aozaki Touko had questioned and examined Asagami Fujino, and now she interrupted to say something.
The puppeteer was paid to do her job. Although the introduction was over, Rin Tohsaka, as the benefactor, still had to say a few words from the girl's perspective.
"So, Ms. Tohsaka, what do you mean?"
Although he didn't know how his stepdaughter had managed to hook up with the Tohsaka family's daughter, Asagami Yasuzo could tell that the girl in front of him was speaking up for his stepdaughter and was dissatisfied with how he had originally dealt with his stepdaughter's demonic eyes.
"I intend to teach Fujino how to control the Mystic Eyes. What does the Asagami family head think?"
Rin Tohsaka expressed her opinion.
"Fujino may be your friend, but she is also a member of the Asagami family. Her affairs are my Asagami family's private matters, so there's no need for Miss Tohsaka to concern herself with them."
Asagami Kōzō refused very decisively.
"Wait, why are you refusing? My suggestion isn't good..."
Before she could finish speaking, Rin Tohsaka stopped, realizing the reason for the other party's refusal.
"Head of the Asagami family, let me make it clear first that I have no intention of coveting your Asagami family."
In response, Asagami Yasuzo outwardly expressed that he believed her words.
However, his attitude of rejecting Rin Tohsaka's offer to help his stepdaughter master the power of the Mystic Eyes remained clear.
"I insist on sealing the Demon Eye using our own methods."
Even if it causes your daughter to lose sensation in her body?
"It's just a physical sensation. We've been through so many years, I'm sure Fujino is used to it by now."
The girl who was temporarily blind took a step back. She didn't know that her lack of sensation was a side effect of sealing the Demon Eye.
"Clearly, she's not used to it, and she doesn't want to."
On the Crystal Palace panel, the decrease in Asagami Fujino's happiness value made Broly start rolling up his sleeves. He believed that as long as he sincerely persuaded Old Deng with his fists, the other party would definitely change his current refusing attitude and humbly accept his wife Rin Tohsaka's advice.
"Oh, Broly, don't do anything, leave it to me."
Rin Tohsaka quickly stopped the boy.
"Attack? Does this child intend to hit me?"
Asagami Yasuzo found it a bit funny; even if the boy was a magician, he probably wouldn't have mastered many magic tricks at this age.
