Heroic Spirit Summoning (Continued)

"Cough cough cough..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Rovey coughed awkwardly a few times. He looked at Rin Tohsaka, who was staring at him in disbelief, and tried to comfort her, saying, "If you look at it on the bright side, you're actually quite lucky, Rin Tohsaka. You summoned such a powerful Servant, and it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal! It seems the Holy Grail War is already secured!"

"How dare you bring this up?!"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka was so provoked she almost jumped up. She glared at Rovey with resentment and complained, "No matter how strong Servant is, what's the point if they don't follow orders? Those two guys didn't take me seriously at all!!"

The feelings that Ishtar and Ereshkigal brought to Rin Tohsaka were undoubtedly a nightmare for Rin Tohsaka.

"Then, don't you still have Command Seal?"

Rovey pointed to the red mark on the back of his hand, "Can't we just use Command Seal in a pinch?"

"No way! I was only able to use the Command Seal successfully when there was only Ishtar left. Even if I suppressed one of them, what about the other Ereshkigal? You saw it yourself, right? Ishtar almost broke free from the Command Seal's restraints. If Ereshkigal is also awake, it will be completely ineffective."

"And..."

As she spoke, Rin Tohsaka's tone became even more excited. She hurriedly raised the back of her hand, revealing the mark on her hand that had lost one of her Command Seal, and said, unable to hide her excitement.

"What Master would use all those Command Seal to restrict Servant? Command Seal! These are Command Seal! They're the key weapons that decide the outcome of a battle! How could they use them all so easily? And I'm already down to one Command Seal! What is this all about?"

"Oh, this..."

Upon hearing this, Rovey fell into deep thought and said helplessly.

"You guess you're just unlucky."

"You idiot! Instead of making sarcastic remarks, hurry up and come up with a solution! You must have a way, right? After all, those two clearly know you. Were they your former Servant? Since they're so familiar with each other, you'd better get them to behave!"

Remembering Ishtar and Ereshkigal's attitudes toward Rovey, Rin Tohsaka decisively placed all her last hopes on him.

She really couldn't handle two divine Servant.

"..."

However, Rovey's expression became somewhat strange upon hearing this.

Are Ishtar and Ereshkigal his Servant?

To some extent, that is indeed the case.

Previously, to facilitate cooperation, he and Gilgamesh tricked Ishtar with a bad check, making her willingly enter into a contract. Later, he and Ereshkigal reached a mutual understanding and moved her to sign a contract.

Although they were all temporary servants, they had all indeed served as Rovey's Servant, so what Rin Tohsaka said could actually be considered correct.

Only...

"Although I really want to help you, you must know that goddesses are capricious. Let's leave Ereshkigal aside for now; I can help you communicate with her, but I can't help with Ishtar."

Rovey shook his head slightly and replied, "Although we are indeed very familiar with each other, I lied to her before and swindled a large sum of money from her. The only reason she's not fighting me now is because she can't beat me and she's out of control. Asking me to persuade her would only add fuel to the fire."

"And..."

"If it were a single goddess, there might be a way to limit it, but you've unfortunately summoned two, and they're in the same body. If you've read Sumerian Mythology, you must know about the relationship between those sisters, right? They're practically sworn enemies, completely at odds with each other. Their relationship is even more difficult to handle than yours with Luvia. And now they're both huddled inside your body. What do you think you should do?"

"Am I completely hopeless?!"

After hearing Rovey's words, Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. She couldn't believe what terrible trouble she had gotten herself into.

"There might still be hope..."

Rovey stroked his chin, pondering, "Don't give up yet. Let me think of a solution for you."

"How long will it take?!"

Rin Tohsaka's eyes lit up.

"Have no idea."

Rovey began to shake his head.

"Then what the hell are you talking about!"

Hearing Rovey's uncertain words, Rin Tohsaka's already distressed heart panicked even more. She then lowered her head and began to think seriously. After a moment, her expression gradually turned cold.

"Since that's the case, then at this point, we have no choice but to use that method."

Which method?

Rovey was somewhat curious.

"Yes."

She looked at Rovey and said seriously, "You go and summon a Servant who can keep them under control and prevent them from causing any major trouble. Didn't Luvia give you Gilgamesh's snakeskin? Just go and summon the King of Heroes!"

"This..."

Upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's astonishing wisdom, Rovey couldn't help but wipe away his sweat.

Summon Gilgamesh?

Not bad.

If I actually did that, the outcome is hard to say, but it would definitely be a great source of entertainment.

Leaving aside the question of what kind of misunderstanding Rin Tohsaka had about Gilgamesh's fighting power, that she could think that a demigod like him could easily overpower Ishtar and Ereshkigal, the top gods of Mesopotamia.

Rovey knew that if he were to actually summon Gilgamesh, the entire Fuyuki City would be thrown into chaos.

Putting aside the fact that Gilgamesh would definitely fight Ishtar given his personality—that guy is so arrogant and self-important, it would be a miracle if he listened to anyone—and not to mention that Emiya Kiritsugu already has a Servant who doesn't get along with Gilgamesh. Therefore, Gilgamesh is absolutely not someone you should summon.

What are you hesitating about?

Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened. "Even summoning Servant like Gilgamesh wouldn't be enough to suppress them?!"

"Not only will you fail to suppress them, but you'll also end up seeing them cause chaos." Rovey's lips twitched as he said, "Besides, I have someone here who is more suitable to resolve your situation than to summon Gilgamesh."

"Then what are we waiting for? Summon it for me now!"

Rin Tohsaka urged immediately,

"Sigh... I'll give it a try."

--

Servant summoning is an extremely important part of the Holy Grail War.

However, the inherent danger and uncertainty of Servant summoning are equally crucial factors. Summoning Servants is indeed a very dangerous matter, as a single misstep can trigger a massive crisis and numerous problems.

Examples of this include the father-daughter Tokiomi Tohsaka, and especially Rin Tohsaka. Before summoning, they all have extreme confidence in their abilities without considering special circumstances, so the Servants they summon are often uncontrollable.

From this perspective, Rin Tohsaka has surpassed her predecessor in every sense.

However, no one knows the true temperament of the Servant they summon before they are actually summoned. Judging solely from the quality of the summoned Servant, they have indeed been very successful.

Regardless of whether they can control it, they can at least break through the Holy Grail War, and even the entire Far East.

However, their experience also proves how important it is to search for Sacred Relic. Although it cannot guarantee that nothing will go wrong, it can at least reduce the chances of problems.

However, what has already happened cannot be stopped. Instead, it is now Rovey's turn to consider what kind of Servant can suppress Ishtar and Ereshkigal or resolve their problems.

Gilgamesh is definitely out of the question; summoning him would only cause the situation to spiral completely out of control.

Where is Enkidu?

No, that won't work either. He lost to death in his lifetime and died under a curse. He would have absolutely no ability to resist Ereshkigal. More importantly, Enkidu also has a grudge against Ishtar.

Think about other people...

Tiamat would be the most suitable.

However, the Holy Grail System was absolutely unable to support that kind of scale, so it had no choice but to abandon it.

Artoria is not dead and cannot be summoned.

Nitocris is not in this world either.

Therefore, the optimal choice should actually be Solomon in this world.

However, he gave the ring to Goetia, so he no longer has Sacred Relic.

After much thought, he could only think of two people who could help him.

So, Rovey stared into thought at the fragments of the demonic spear and the withered petals of the flower before him.

I started thinking about who would be more suitable.

But...

"Hurry up!" Rin Tohsaka shook Rovey's shoulder, urging, "It'll be a huge problem if we wait for Ishtar and the others to wake up."

"Don't rush me. I was just thinking about how to make their fight less intense."

Rovey waved his hand, signaling Rin Tohsaka to be quiet.

"What... aren't these two top-tier Sacred Relic?" Rin Tohsaka crossed her arms. "Anyone can help me solve this problem, as long as they can!"

"You're incredibly selfish."

He glanced at the guy helplessly, and after thinking it over again, Rovey still chose that pale pink petal.

Although Scathach is a top-tier Servant, it's a pity that this Holy Grail War has never lacked top-tier Servant. Moreover, if it's just about combat power, he alone could overwhelm everyone. Therefore, what he needs right now is a way to deal with the immediate problem.

"Have you made your choices? Then let's begin!"

Seeing that Rovey had chosen that petal, Rin Tohsaka unceremoniously placed his hand on the summoning circle, and then, as if afraid that he would change his mind, she eagerly took over the chanting for him.

"Announcement--"

"Your body obeys my command, my life is one with your sword. Answer the call of the Holy Grail. If you are willing to follow this will and this righteousness, then respond. I swear here that I will accomplish all good deeds in the world, and I will eradicate all evil deeds in the world. You are the Seven Heavens, bound by the three great incantations, the guardian of the Counter Force and the Scales!"

Towards the end, Rin Tohsaka shouted out her true feelings.

"Anyone will do, just hurry up and find someone who can solve my problem!"

Perhaps they were already impatient, or perhaps Rin Tohsaka's substitute chanting really worked.

The moment the voice and incantation fell, a familiar magical storm appeared on the summoning circle. Smelling the familiar floral fragrance, Rovey knew that the person he was looking for had arrived. Rin Tohsaka, having learned from past mistakes, immediately rolled backward and hid behind a large tree to avoid being accidentally injured.

"Oh my... I'm so happy..."

A familiar cluster of petals coalesced into a human form, then emerged from the light and gently caressed Rovey's face.

"You actually summoned me! To be honest, I've been looking forward to this day for a while now."

Before them appeared a beautiful woman, as lovely as a flower, smiling.

"Servant, Caster, Lady Avalon, Merry has answered your call, my beloved. Is there anything I can do for you? Or would you rather eat first, or eat me?"

Merry blinked, then suddenly leaned closer and spoke, her warm breath brushing against Rovey's face.

"Could you please restrain yourself a little? Otherwise, I'll tell Artoria to stab you with a gun."

Seeing her so carefree, Rovey helplessly rubbed his temples and said.

"Hehe... The only reason I did this was because Artoria wasn't here~"

Merry gripped Rovey's hand tightly with an expression like that of a lovesick woman, then licked her lips and said, "And if it really works out, even if Lily pierces me in the end, it'll be worth the price of admission, won't it?"

Are you still this perverted?

Rovey hurriedly pushed away her face, while Merry pounced on him.

The scene between the two looked extremely strange at that moment.

Rin Tohsaka silently picked a fruit and sat on the tree to eat it.

This melon is delicious.

Besides...

How does this guy know all the Servant? They seem quite familiar with each other.

Seeing how familiar Rovey was with Ishtar and Ereshkigal, and then seeing Merry rushing over as soon as they met, Rin Tohsaka even began to doubt whether Rovey was even from this era. How could he know so many ancient heroes?

But now is not the time to consider these things.

Rin Tohsaka's biggest concern was whether this great sage from Britannia could solve her problems.

Not long after.

"I see, I see. Because of the compatibility summoning, you accidentally summoned two divine Servant, who then took over your body and became very disobedient, right?"

Sitting side by side on the bench, with her head resting on Rovey's shoulder, Merry, though her last perverse desires were still not satisfied, listened to Rin Tohsaka's story with a pleasant smile.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "That's why humans are so interesting. They always like to court death, and the ones they summoned were even familiar faces like Ishtar and Ereshkigal. It's just too funny."

After learning what had happened, Merry clutched her stomach and laughed so hard she almost fell over, rolling around on Rovey while taking the opportunity to kiss Rovey a few times, showing absolutely no trace of the demeanor Britannia the Great Sage of Britain.
