When the Sand Sculpture Trial Comes to Yokohama

In the hotel, Minan Rin waved his hand and booked a luxury suite.Anyway, it was Matou Zouken's money, so she didn't feel bad at all...

When Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura started to hang the clothes in the trolley case in the closet, Minan Rinka walked towards the door of the suite.Seeing this, Matou Kariya called her to stop.

"Berserker, what are you going out for?" he asked.

"It's nothing." Minan Rinka took out her phone and shook it, "I'll just make a call."

"Oh..." Jiantong Yanye wanted to make a phone call, so he turned around and continued packing his clothes.But within two seconds, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait a minute!" Jiantong Yanye asked in a daze, "Didn't you tell me last night that you don't have a mobile phone? The 'click' sound last night was because you took an ugly photo of me, right?"

Minan Linhua was taken aback for a moment: "I slipped my tongue..."

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +300]

Matou Kariya: "Where did you get your phone... Forget it, I didn't ask anything, you go..."

Recalling the scene when he asked Minan Rinka about the origin of the casual clothes, Matou Kariya felt a little palpitating.

Minan Rinka didn't waste any time, and went to the corridor to call Francis Fitzgerald.

The phone rang three or four times, and the call was picked up.

"Minan Rinka, what can I do for you?" Francis Fitzgerald answered the phone quickly.Anyway, Minan Rinka is also a shareholder of Guild's new company in Yokohama. When Shibusawa Tatsuhiko used his supernatural power to form a white mist covering Yokohama, she also saved the lives of several people in Guild.

"There is a big deal, are you interested?" Minan Rinhua asked in a low voice on the phone.

"Oh? Let's hear it." Francis Fitzgerald didn't expect Minan Linhua to send money as soon as he opened his mouth.He raised his eyebrows on the other end of the phone and answered with interest.

As a successful businessman, Francis Fitzgerald never let go of any opportunity to make money.

……

Minan Rinka did not wait too long.About half an hour after the call ended, she stood on the roof of the hotel in Fuyuki City and saw a helicopter approaching quickly in the distant sky.

The plane circled the hotel twice, casting a slightly distorted shadow stretched by the sun on the exterior wall of the building.After that, it went all the way up and stopped at the small airport on the roof of the hotel.

"Guild is still doing things so unscrupulously." Minan Rinhua looked at the helicopter passing by and heard the noisy sound of the propeller turning, and couldn't help sighing, "Dare to make such a big show in an unfamiliar city..."

Soon, the speed of the helicopter's propeller slowed down, the cabin door swung open, and a young man wearing a helmet and goggles jumped out of the cabin.

The young man took off the flying helmet and goggles on his head, revealing a head of dashing short brown-red hair.He threw the helmet in his hand back on the seat of the cabin like throwing a basketball, and walked towards Minan Rinhua.

This is a Guild member I've never seen before.Minan Rinka thought so.Soon, the young man walked up to Minan Rinka.

"The leader asked me to come and discuss a big business." The young man asked with a hearty smile, "Are you Minan Rinhua?"

This young man is a member of the Guild, but Minan Rinka has never seen him, and does not know his name.So she thought for a while and asked, "What if I say I'm not?"

The young man was stunned.

Although he didn't meet Minan Rinka directly, Francis Fitzgerald showed him the photo of Minan Rinka before departure and asked him to recognize her face.This girl was obviously the Minan Rinka he was looking for.

The reason why he asked this question just now was just a customary opening remark.

I didn't expect her to answer like this.How can he accept this?

[System prompt: Mark Twain's palpitation value +200]

Mark Twain held back for a long time, his face was a little red, and finally he said: "You are obviously, I saw your photo before I set off, and I recognized your face."

Minan Rinhua spread her hands: "Then what else do you ask?"

[System prompt: Mark Twain's palpitation value +250]

The breath that Mark Twain held back almost exploded in his throat.He thought it was no wonder that before departure, the leader Francis Fitzgerald reminded him that he would lose if he was too serious when facing Minan Rinka, and generously allocated a large amount of travel allowance to him. It turned out that it was because of this...

"Forget it, talk quickly, I'll leave after finishing the business." Mark Twain didn't want to continue to fight with Minan Linhua, he put on the face of a cold and heartless businessman, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer look.

Minan Rinka didn't care about the sudden change in Mark Twain's attitude before and after.She smiled, and took Mark Twain downstairs into another suite she had booked, and moved the teleportation compass with the hand hidden in her pocket.

The white light of spiritual power flashed, and when it went out again, on the carpet in the living room of the suite, which was empty, suddenly there were more than a dozen famous paintings, dozens of works of art, seven or eight Western statues, and a huge and strong insurance box. cabinet.The point is, the safe is still connected to half of the wall, which was obviously taken down...

When he saw this pile of things, Mark Twain felt palpitations again: "Are you selling stolen goods?"

[System prompt: Mark Twain's palpitation value +500]

Minan Rinhua immediately shook her head: "That's not..."

What Minan Rinka said was "that, no", but Mark Twain heard it as "that, no".So the young man thought he understood and nodded.Isn't it just selling stolen goods?

Mark Twain thought about it again, their Guild could even do the thing about the white whale crashing into Yokohama.

So without further ado, Mark Twain took out a cylindrical magnifying glass from his pocket and put it on his right eye.At the same time, a purple psychic light glowed from behind him like a lingering mist.

Two doll-like supernatural villains split out from behind Mark Twain along the purple light. One was wearing a beret and a cardigan shirt, and the other was wearing a straw hat, smock and brown coat.The appearance of the two villains is somewhat similar to Mark Twain himself, and the costumes are like little boys in the American Midwestern countryside.

"Tom, Huck, roll up your sleeves and get to work." Mark Twain ordered, and the two supernatural villains methodically sorted out the things on the ground that needed to be valued.

All the supernatural beings who can enter the Guild are masters, and Mark Twain is no exception.He is only a young man in his early twenties by appearance, but he is a veteran in appraising value.Once he entered the working state, he became extremely focused, as if even the falling sky could not affect him in the slightest.

Mark Twain spent more than two hours in the suite for more than two hours.In the end, he put away the identification magnifying glass on his right eye, closed his eyes, and rubbed his tired eyes with his fingers through the eyelids.

"It's all genuine," he said. "A rough estimate is that the oil paintings alone are worth several billion yen. The total price of all the collections may be 300 to [-] billion yen. The specific value can only be told after a detailed valuation." .”

"I only conduct a preliminary verification of the authenticity of things. Regarding the price, I have to ask the chief to confirm the specific figures. The chief is better at estimating the value of these things than I am." Mark Twain added.

After hearing this number, Minan Rinka was shocked.But after thinking about it, this number is not impossible, after all, this is the wealth accumulated by Matou Zouken after living for at least 100 years.

Although the operation of the family of magicians is very expensive, it is not difficult to make money.

It is conceivable that Matou Zouken, who can do such unconscionable things to young girls, must not be very clean in his means of collecting money.

"What's in the safe?" Mark Twain asked again, "Do you know the combination of the safe? But I guess you don't know it. Selling stolen goods..."

"I told you it's not about selling stolen goods." Minan Rinhua said while grabbing the door of the safe, and twisted open the metal door, which was more than ten centimeters thick, with spiritual power...

Mark Twain was stunned: "You don't even know the password of the safe, and you still say you are not selling stolen goods?"

Minan Rinka was a little bit pained: "It's really not..."

After the safe was opened, the money bricks, various property documents, gold and gemstone jewelry inside appeared in front of the two of them.

Mark Twain's eyes went dark, and he had to put on the monocular identification magnifying glass again.

Tire your eyes as much as you can, that's a lot of money.He thought bitterly.

Fortunately, there were not many items in the safe that required special identification, only those large boxes of jewelry inlaid with various precious stones.Soon, Mark Twain took off the identification magnifying glass again.

"The value of cash is not as good as the collections just now. Trust funds, real estate and the like are very difficult to sell. It is not impossible for us to deal with it, but we need to discount the price for you. The most noteworthy items in the safe are currently The thing is those few boxes of gems and jewelry, which is roughly estimated to be worth about 70 billion yen." Mark Twain exhaled and said, "You want Guild to eat the goods, right?"

Minan Rinka nodded.

In addition to Guild, she can also choose the port mafia to help with this shipment.It's just that the Guild has more channels overseas, while most of the Port Mafia's channels are in Japan.

If it is shot in Japan, the possibility of these things being tracked by Matou Zouken is even greater.But if Guild shipped these things out of Japan and sold them all over the world, the Matou Zouyan might not be able to get it back even if it wanted to.

"If you let us deal with it, you can choose from two payment methods for collections and jewelry: one is that we bid to buy out, and then we sell the collection by ourselves, at our own risk; the other is that you put these things in If you entrust the sale with us, we will transfer the proceeds to your account after deducting the sales cost and a certain percentage of commission."

Mark Twain explained, "The price of gold is traded at the market price, and trust funds and real estate can only be dealt with at a low price. In addition, we will charge 15.00% of the transaction price as a fixed commission for everything that is handed over to us."

"Well, which one to choose?" he asked.

Minan Rinhua was silent for a moment, then said, "Wait for me."

She temporarily let Mark Twain stay in the suite here, and went out and went back to the suite where Kariya Matou and Sakura Matou lived.

When Minan Rinka opened the door, Matou Kariya was clumsily blowing Matou Sakura's hair after taking a bath.

Matou Kariya himself doesn't use a hair dryer very much, and he doesn't know how to move it. Matou Ying is also a child who can no longer complain of pain, let alone remind Matou Kariya that his hair smells bad.Therefore, as soon as Minan Rinka entered the door, she saw Matou Kariya pinching Matouying's hair in a panic, and muttering to herself while blowing: "The hair is burnt..."

"Berserker, why have you been away for so long?" Minan Rinka left for three hours, Matou Kariya was a little worried.

After all, in this Fuyuki City, besides her, there are six other powerful heroic spirits.As the master, he, Matou Kariya, is a laggard who can't provide much magic power, and can't even perceive the existence of his own servants.So the longer Minan Rinka left, the more nervous Matou Kariya became.

"I'm going to sell stolen goods..." Minan Linhua said halfway, and found that Mark Twain had slipped her tongue, "Bah, bah, I'm going to discuss business."

She didn't intend to monopolize the money from the Jiantong family, okay? What kind of stolen money is this selling?

"Sell all the things you got from Matou's house and pay 15.00% commission, what do you think?" She asked cheerfully.

***

After being taken to the adjacent suite by Minan Rinka, after listening to Mark Twain's introduction to Guild's handling method, Matou Kariya felt a little dizzy in front of his eyes.

Kariya Matou didn't want to become a magician, so after graduation, he left Matou's house, worked and lived like an ordinary person, and planned to set up his own family and stay away from the world of magicians.After returning to Matou's house for Matou Sakura, he only acted as a pawn under Matou Zouken.Having lived for more than 20 years, he has never been exposed to such a large amount of money.

"I said that I am not selling stolen goods." Minan Rinka said, "The owner of these properties is not me, but this Mr. Kariya Matou..."

Matou Kariya was at a loss when he heard the words: "Berserker, you mean to let me trade with this young man and sell all these things?"

Mark Twain was taken aback when he heard Matou Kariya's words: "Berserker? You are not..."

"Is it called Minan Rinka?" Before the words came out, Minan Rinka, who was standing behind Matou Kariya, quickly grabbed the back collar of one of the supernatural villains, and grabbed him. hand.

The supernatural villain was obviously floating in the air by himself, and without doing anything, he was inexplicably caught by Minan Rinhua.He struggled subconsciously, but Minan Rinka grasped even tighter...

[System prompt: Huck Finn's palpitation value +999]

[System prompt: Tom Sawyer's palpitation value +500]

Minan Rinhua pinched the back collar of the supernatural villain Huck Finn, just quietly looking at Mark Twain...

Seen by her like this, how dare Mark Twain continue to speak...

[System prompt: Mark Twain's palpitation value +450]

Seeing that Mark Twain obediently chose to shut up, Minan Rinka said to Kariya Matou: "If you think the plan he proposed is feasible, trade with him. Then you open a new Matou Zouken Accounts they don’t know about, they’ll send money into.”

Matou Kariya was silent for a moment.

It's not that he has a problem with the Guild's trading methods.It is actually quite difficult to sell all these things, and the buyout method proposed by Mark Twain also requires a lot of liquidity.The Guild who can eat this batch of goods is undoubtedly a huge organization. A commission of 15.00% is not unacceptable either.

However, it might be useless for him to hold the money.

"I can trade with you, but don't put the money into my account." Matou Kariya whispered, "I will open a trust account for Sakura, and provide her with fixed living expenses until she reaches adulthood. Only after that can you have the right to dispose of all assets in the account. I hope you can deposit money into Sakura's trust account."

Hearing this, Minan Rinka was a little surprised.She gestured to Mark Twain, pulled Matou Kariya aside and asked, "Aren't you going to take care of her in the future?"

"No." Matou Sakura still stayed in the original suite, and Matou Kariya no longer concealed anything, but revealed the truth, "Because too many engraved worms were implanted in the body in the past year, I His body is broken, and he only has about a month left."

"Sorry, Berserker, you helped me rescue Sakura, but I may not be able to participate in the Holy Grail War with you." Matou Kariya tried hard to suppress his desire to defeat his old enemy Tosaka Tokiomi in the Holy Grail War , "I have to entrust Sakura to someone truly trustworthy for the rest of my days."

Minan Rinka thought for a while, rolled up Kariya Matou's sleeves, and raised her hand to press his arm.

The spiritual power slowly sneaked into Matou Kariya's body along the skin.In the blink of an eye, Matou Kariya showed a painful expression, and hideous blood vessels suddenly protruded from the originally flat skin.In the blood vessels, countless imprinted worms that sensed the existence of spiritual power shuttled quickly.

Soon, Minan Rinka withdrew her hand.

Kariya Matou said the truth.His body was too weak, and he really couldn't live for a few more days.

Minan Rinka turned her head thoughtfully and walked back.

Mark Twain, who was standing there, did not hear what the two had said just now, but those who are used to doing business on the road naturally understood the reason not to casually find out the client's secrets.At this moment, he suggested: "Anyway, these things have to be shipped back, and let the leader make a further detailed quotation. You might as well sign a contract with us first, and then slowly discuss which account to use. After discussing the results, use them for The account of the transaction told us."

After a long time, Matou Kariya nodded: "Let's do it like this."

***

In the end, Matou Kariya chose the transaction method of buying out part of the price and part of the entrustment.

Mark Twain returned with the photographs he had taken and a few portable collections.His small helicopter couldn't transport away the huge pile of Matou's belongings, so Minan Rinka took a job as a courier by the way, using a teleportation compass to transport everything back to Yokohama.

After watching Mark Twain leave in his small helicopter, Minan Rinka turned around and found Matou Kariya sitting on the European-style sofa with his head down.

Matou Kariya has calmed down from the joy of bringing Matou Sakura out of the sea of ​​suffering.Thinking that he only had about one month to live, he was silent, and he was already thinking about what kind of guardian he should find for Matou Sakura.

Kariya Matou was unwilling to take the path of a magician in the past, and the people he knew were ordinary people without magical powers, and there was no way to protect Matou Sakura from Matou Zouken.

Matou Sakura herself has been adopted by the Tohsaka family to the Matou family, and the adoption has already been confirmed.These two families and the overseas Einzbern family are the "Three Royal Family" in the Holy Grail War.Agreeing to protect Matou Sakura means antagonizing these two families, so Matou Kariya does not think that ordinary magician families are capable of sheltering Matou Sakura.

If Matou Sakura falls into the hands of other magicians, the most likely thing they will do is to send her back to Matou Zouken.

After thinking about it, Matou Kariya felt that what Minan Rinka said before was really true.The bottom line of this magician circle is too low.

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +750]

Minan Rinhua was taken aback when she heard the announcement: She didn't say anything yet.

"You said you have engraved worms in your body, so you can't live for a month, right?" Minan Rinka asked.

"Ah..." Kariya Matou finally came back to his senses, "That's right. Although I was born in the Matou family a year ago, I had no experience with magic at all. Although I had a natural magic circuit in my body, I was completely People who have never used it. In order to expand the magic circuit, Matou Zouken implanted too many engraved worms in my body, but compared with ordinary magic circuits, the circuit formed by this engraved worm is much more dangerous—it It will consume my life force."

"I look like a haggard old man in his 60s or 30s. But do you believe it?" He smiled wryly, "I'm not yet [-] years old. A year ago, my hair was still completely black. "

"Oh..." Minan Rinhua nodded, and asked again, "Then if the engraving worms disappear, can you still be rescued?"

"All the engraved worms disappeared?" Kariya Matou was stunned, "If all the engraved worms disappeared, they would naturally stop absorbing my life. But the lost vitality could not come back, and instead my body would be destroyed by the sudden engraved worms. Disappeared and damaged. The natural magic circuit in the body can absorb the magic power source from the outside to make up for the loss in the body, but the speed of making up is too slow. At most, I can live a little longer."

Matou Kariya slowly exhaled: "Is there any way to get rid of all the engraved worms in my body at once, and at the same time inject me with a large amount of magic power to make up for the vacancy caused by the disappearance of the engraved worms, and then continue to give me stable input?" What about the magic power of... eh, eh, what are you doing? Berserker, what are you doing..."

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +...]

In the middle of Matou Kariya's speech, Minan Rinka started directly.She grabbed Matou Kariya's wrist.In an instant, the spiritual power from Minan Rinka broke into Matou Kariya's magic circuit along the passage of the engraving worm structure.

This wave of spiritual power is more overbearing than when it was detected just now, but it is quite gentle.Domineering is aimed at the engraved worms. This time, the engraved worms in Matou Kariya's body did not even have a chance to escape in his magic circuit, and were burned away along the blood vessels by the surging spiritual power; As far as Tong Yanye was concerned, Minan Rinka's spiritual power did not make him feel pain at all.

The spiritual power flowing through the limbs and bones was more than ten times that of the magic power he could actively absorb from the outside world. Matou Kariya only felt that his body was slightly hot, and he felt a sense of pleasure as if he was in a sauna.

It wasn't until Minan Rinka let go of his hand neatly, and took out another talisman that was full of spiritual power, and stuck it on his body like a seal, that Matou Kariya realized what happened just now.

Berserker directly burned all the engraving worms in his body, and at the same time replenished him with the part of the magic power stored by the disappeared engraving worms, and also pasted him a talisman that can continuously deliver a large amount of magic power? ?

He also said just now that these things can't happen at the same time, but the next second he slapped his face. It's just like when the two of them were learning magic by the window in the early morning...

Has anyone ever been slapped in the face like this intensively?
