Since she had signed a contract to sell herself, ahem, no, a long-term labor contract, uh, not really, it was an employment contract, Orange naturally had to work for the employer.
With motivation, the serious Orange is completely different from the aimless and careless Orange. Looking back, when she broke up with her family, Orange was almost left with nothing. Later, she went to study in the Clock Tower, and became a citizen of the Magic Association, which left her with a huge debt. But she paid off all her debts in just two years, and also made a great name for herself, which is enough to show how terrible Orange is when she is serious.
Now, Orange has a new motivation, a motivation that is even more powerful than paying off debts, and the resulting enthusiasm is incredibly amazing.
Shinji expressed great satisfaction with the new employee's attitude and assigned her the first job without hesitation - to treat Fujino's eye disease and regulate her body.
The top puppeteer Aozaki Touko can even recreate human flesh, which is enough to show her understanding of the human body structure. Although she is not a doctor, her medical skills are more advanced than any other doctor. It is not an exaggeration to say that she can "resurrect the dead and turn the flesh into bones". A mere "neuromyelitis optica", which is Fujino's eye disease, is not worth mentioning.
The damage to the body caused by long-term use of painkillers is not a big problem for Orange. It just takes a longer time to adjust and more regular check-ups.
Within a few days, Fujino's "neuromyelitis optica" was cured and his complexion improved a lot.
During this time, Tsuruya also completed the investigation and negotiations with the Asagami family.
Fujino is the only psychic in the current generation of the Asagami family, and the family's top leaders are eager for Fujino, the "devil's child", to sever ties with the family. When they see that the Matou family is willing to spend money to "buy" him away, they immediately agree.
Tsuruya didn't hesitate and directly signed a large check. As the person with the highest emotional intelligence in the Matou family, Tsuruya knew very well that Shinji wanted to tie Asagami Fujino to the Matou family's chariot and tie her tightly.
How to tie someone up
Coercion and inducement are only the lowest level. The best level is mental control similar to "faith".
For a poor girl like Asagami Fujino who has lost her sense of pain and has been enduring the malice from the people around her, the thing that binds her most is the warmth and kindness of people's hearts.
Fujino was flattered and intoxicated by the attention and recognition given by Shinji, and the friendship and respect given by Sakura, and all Tsuru had to do was add fuel to the fire.
He could have lowered the price, but he didn't, and even raised it, just to let Fujino know at the right time how much the Matou family paid for her and how important she was to the Matou family, so that she would wholeheartedly regard the Matou family as her home.
Some people might say that this is a scheming, insincere, or even mean, and Tsuru would not deny it, but as long as the Matou family really values Fujino and treats Fujino well, what's wrong with being a little scheming? For the future and development of the Matou family, what does it matter if it's mean
In this way, Fujino successfully became a member of the Matou family.
Soon after, Orange received the second commission - to guide Fujino to master his own supernatural powers.
Fujino's special power comes from her eyes. Such eyes with special powers are called "Mystic Eyes". There are two types of "Mystic Eyes" in the Type-Moon world: artificial Mystic Eyes and innate Mystic Eyes.
Artificial magic eyes are about turning your eyeballs into magic circuits, transforming the passive function of receiving external information into the ability to actively influence external things. In other words, all targets within the field of vision will be affected by magic; if the target looks directly into the magic eye, the magic effect will increase dramatically.
Although those who know something about the Mystic Eye know that it is not only impossible to look directly at it, but if you are seen by it, you will fall into the opponent's magic, but it is difficult to judge whether you have the Mystic Eye from the appearance, and it is difficult to guard against. The practicality ranks first among all engineering magic. Relatively speaking, the difficulty of this project is also very high, so having an artificial Mystic Eye is regarded as proof of being a first-class magician.
However, artificial magic eyes only have the ability to charm and suggest at best. Other than that, there is the second type of magic eye that cannot be reproduced by magic, the innate magic eye. This type of magic eye may be innate, or it may be awakened due to an accident.
Compared to artificial magic eyes, innate magic eyes not only have more types but also have more powerful abilities. Fujino's magic eyes belong to this type, while Orange's magic eyes are a superposition of two types.
Yes, Orange also has the Mystic Eyes, and they have been artificially transformed based on her innate talent. As far as Shinji knows, no human knows more about the Mystic Eyes than Orange, and she is the perfect person to be Fujino's teacher.
For this commission, Orange put in twelve points of enthusiasm. Every gifted magic eye is a precious sample, and Fujino's magic eye is even more precious, enough to be included in the "sealed designation" list. Even without Shinji's commission, Orange is willing to guide Fujino. If such good materials are left to waste, it would be the greatest disrespect to the Creator.
Chengzi even half-jokingly said that he would accept Fujino as his apprentice, but Fujino actually agreed. The few days in the Matou Villa were the happiest, happiest and most relaxing days for Fujino in the past twelve years.
I regained my sense of pain and understood the feeling of being cared for.
There is no discrimination, no disgust, only equality and respect.
Fujino's heart, which was scarred but still longing for warmth, quickly fell. She liked this place and wanted to stay here forever. After she was sure that learning from Chengzi would make her stronger, she resolutely became Chengzi's disciple.
Shinji is happy to see this happen. Maybe Touko's motive for accepting Fujino is not pure, but this master-disciple relationship can also become a bond for her "unruly wind". With a bond, the wind will not lose its direction no matter how far it blows - Shinji is full of confidence in Fujino, himself, and the Matou family.
After a brief and formal apprenticeship ceremony, the group returned to Fuyuki City. Prior to this, Kariya had already purchased a small building for Orange in the center of the new city. Although the small building was located in the downtown area, it was close to the fourth largest spiritual vein node in Fuyuki City, which was very suitable for a magician to build a workshop.
In this brand new workshop, Orange made a new request to Shinji:
"I need material!"
"What material?"
"Materials for making the bodies of Yustisa and Irisviel."
"Give me a list and I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
"The point is that I don't know what I'm missing."
"Huh? Are you kidding me?"
"No. The souls of androids and the carriers of souls are different from those of humans. If it were a normal artificial life form, I could make a reverse calculation and restore it even without the information of the physical body. But these two are androids of the Einzbern family, and the technology of that family is quite different from the existing technology system. Even I can't make a calculation without a sample."
"That means samples."
"Yes."
"Specific requirements?"
"No limit, human tissue that carries Einzbern technology will do. I just need to determine a general direction."
"Is that enough?"
"That's enough, who do you think I am!"
Orange pushed up his glasses confidently, revealing the style of a top puppeteer.
