Chapter 213: Barrier Master Araya Soren
Chapter 213: Barrier Master Araya Soren
Cannot kill ‘Aozaki Orange’ hastily.
Sakutsuki has known this for a long time, not only because Orange has the body of countless puppets, but also because of her ‘death language’.
[Sealed Box/Unknown Monster]
An undead monster of unknown identity.
Orange sealed the box in her body to fight back against the person who killed her. It is said that she caused heavy casualties to the Executor’s troops, so they ordered a halt to the pursuit of her. Gray even felt that her magic power could rival that of the Rhongomyniad.
Sakutsuki had not yet reached the point of fighting to the death with Orange, and secondly, she did not want to experience how painful her killer move was, so she ended the battle directly and frankly revealed her identity.
[Illustrated Record Updated]
[018: Aozaki Orange]
[Character Information: Born in the Aozaki family, which owns the most sacred place in Japan, she is a Grand Magician of the highest rank. In addition, as the highest puppet master, she was labeled "sealed" by the Magic Association. She has an artificial dual personality and switches her personality by putting on and taking off glasses. She is a romanticist at heart. She has bought an abandoned building and opened the workshop "Galan Hall" which is now open to the public. ]
[Hidden Information: In the extra story of "Magician Night", Orange found a shortcut to break the curse - changing her body. But she still died in Poly Aju. In addition: Poly Aju is the familiar of the witch Aju of Kuonji, known as the "Fairy Tale Monster". 】
【Seemingly very fond of personal KTV, the posture of death in POLY is that she died of alcohol poisoning while holding a golden microphone, and there are many personal concert posters and flyers beside her, which seems to give Aoko, as her younger sister, a headache (Aoko: How can I have such a sister - covering my forehead). 】
【Record conditions (2/3)】:
1. Defeat Aozaki Touko (completed)
2. Learn the slide machine/shadow monster (completed)
【Record condition 1 has been completed, and the reward is obtained: "Magic" parameter is slightly improved! 】
【Record condition 2 has been completed, and the reward is obtained: Aozaki Touko doll production technical notes (incomplete version)! 】
"So it's you, kid... Why did you change your appearance?"
After retracting his thoughts, after Shuoyue revealed his identity and showed two magic guns as proof, Aozaki Touko finally let down his guard and became a little afraid to look directly at Shuoyue.
"Ah, thanks to a certain elder sister, the three dolls I bought at a high price all exploded." Shuoyue said with a half-smile, "I had no choice but to rebuild a body or something. Do you think it was the fault of that dishonest puppeteer, Miss Orange?"
"Uh, this~" Orange laughed dryly, and was not justified. "I was confused at that time. And, even if I wanted to contact you, you only provided a one-way contact. I had no way to do it!"
Speaking of this, Orange simply put on a broken jar attitude and pointed to the broken box beside her:
"Besides, you also broke my precious familiar. After all, we are even!"
"... Do you really think I am from the church?" Shuoyue complained with empty eyes, "The so-called magic is just a means. Even the simplest materials can exert powerful power as long as they are handled with skillful hands. I don't believe that you, who likes to use the name of your sister to buy on credit, have much money on hand."
"Ah!" Orange was hit by an arrow in the chest and retreated gorgeously.
After teasing, Shuoyue went straight to the point: "I'm not here to vent my anger, Aozaki Orange, I need you to do me two favors."
"Reward..."
"Hmm?"
"Okay, it's my bad luck." After all, Orange, who is not an orthodox magician, sighed and said resignedly, "Things involving you are not easy. Tell me, what is it?"
"I want something in your workshop. Well, don't worry, I will pay. It just happened that I wiped out two families, so the funds are sufficient."
"Also - I need you to check my body." After a pause, Shuoyue added, "Including my shadow."
————
At night, Shuoyue stopped in front of an abandoned hospital.
The fourth component pointed out by the treasure map, that is, the auction item that was bought casually by Orange and thrown casually in the magic workshop, has been obtained by Shuoyue. Now there is only one last location marked in the mysterious treasure map -
Not in this hospital, but in another city adjacent to Guanbuzi City, Misaki City.
The trip to Misaki City has been confirmed. Sakutsuki plans to ride the ‘Sword in the Stone’ tomorrow morning and reach the destination while enjoying the ride.
But before that, he still has things to deal with.
"It's helpless to say that "Magic Night" has already ended, and the story of "Kara no Kyoukai" has not yet begun. Although it's okay to wait with hope, the task entrusted to me by Wuming is more important than anything else - after all, that is 'my' last request. If it is not responded to, who can I expect?"
Saying this, Sakutsuki stepped into the diamond-shaped space and appeared inside the hospital.
"Overlooking the scenery, Wujo Kirie, and the unconscious Ryougi Shiki..." Looking at the mysterious hidden hospital, the boy snorted coldly, and his eyes turned into vertical pupils without knowing when.
"I can understand your unbearable waiting a little bit, and that's why you are unwilling to let go, Araya Soren."
Araya Soren, the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator in the series of stories in "Kara no Kyoukai", has his shadow in every chapter except the chapter "Future Gospel".
Asagami Fujino, who still feels pain, and Mujo Kirie, who overlooks the scenery, as well as Shirajun Rio, Cornelius Aruba, Najo Ba, Gengiri Kagetsu and others who followed are all his pawns.
Araya Soren was born more than 200 years ago. After that era of rapid technological development and extreme turmoil, he realized that he could never save everyone, so he began to collect and record deaths, and wanted to open the channel to the "root" for this purpose, but he failed every time.
In "Kara no Kyoukai", he set his sights on Ryougi Shiki, and wanted to reach the "root" by obtaining Ryougi Shiki's body, which was naturally connected to the root. Fujino, Kirie and others were the sacrifices chosen by Araya to stimulate Ryougi Shiki's awakening and make her aware of her own essence.
The place where Ryougi Shiki was sleeping had long been under strict surveillance by him, and no one from the mysterious side was allowed to set foot here.
But tonight, the white-haired and golden-eyed boy appeared here, bowed to the hidden familiar, and invited Araya Soren.
I'm here, Araya Soren.
Are you coming?
After a moment, the corridor emitting faint light began to twist, and the sound, light, and air slowly rotated, spinning dizzily, and finally a silent stone tablet appeared.
No, it was a shadow that was almost mistaken for a black stone tablet, a man in a black coat.
The man stood at the end of the corridor, with a serious face, but with unbearable distress.
In the corridor deeper than the night, he slowly spoke:
"What do you want, young magician?"
