Olga Marie / Kirschtaria Wodime

Knowing how to solve it made things simpler. Mikaela smiled and began to try to pull out two 'weapons' at the same time.

He kept trying all night long, even after Aozaki Touko and Waver had gone to sleep.

"Morning."

Around 6:30 in the morning, Waver came out with dark circles under his eyes. He saw that Mikaela had already started preparing breakfast and sighed, "As expected of Servant, even if she didn't sleep until 3 a. m., she still has the energy to get up."

That's right, Waver was a workaholic who stayed up until 3 a. m. last night before going to sleep. Although he's still very sleepy, he's gotten used to it.

"I didn't sleep at all." Mikaela seemed to be in a good mood at the moment. He was making Chinese breakfast again today.

"Ha!?"

Waver was briefly surprised, then showed an expression of 'understanding', after all, he was Servant! His body was definitely different from theirs as 'ordinary people'.

"Moreover, I seem to have mastered some techniques." Mikaela pointed to her heart and said calmly, "Without the 'interference' of the Holy Grail, I have completely mastered how to produce two 'Noble Phantasm' in a 'short time'."

"Puff!!!!"

Waver, who was just about to drink some hot water, spat it out. He stared at Mikaela in shock, then said with a tone full of jealousy, "That damned genius!!!"

At this moment, Waver felt a strong sense of malice. He had indeed taught many disciples in the past two years, but they were all too mediocre.

Two years! A full two years!!! If you include this year, then it's a full three years.

Three years!

Over the past three years, he has taught a variety of talented and capable students, watching them rise from the lowest ranks to the highest positions! Even a high-ranking official like the Pride emerged!

Waver himself, even if he was Cause, was only barely qualified. In the end, he relied on the title of Lord to force his way into the priesthood.

In a sense, he was similar to Darnic, except that his position as a priest was far more dubious than one might imagine; he was simply given the title by the Clock Tower because of his exceptional teaching abilities.

Then, just today, he witnessed once again what a 'genius' truly is.

Yesterday evening, Mikaela was still a well-behaved student, asking Waver and Aozaki Touko questions about things she didn't understand.

It's only been one night! The other party has already mastered the technique and is even starting to explore more advanced techniques.

To give an example to describe Mikaela's level of hatred.

That means Waver is a player who relies on sheer willpower; he has nothing but his liver!

Then Aozaki Touko is a player who spends a lot of money; she can have anything she wants, but she just has some bad luck.

Finally, there's Mikaela. At first, she knew nothing and looked like a complete newbie. Then, right after entering the game, she did a ten-pull and got seven five-star characters! Suddenly, she was overjoyed!

"I'm a newbie, are these characters I just pulled any good?"

At this moment, Waver's mentality changed slightly. If he weren't unable to defeat Mikaela, he probably would have wanted to tear him apart right now.

"Eat up, I'm going to the Clock Tower with you later." After preparing breakfast, Mikaela casually sat down in a chair and began to eat by herself.

"It smells so good."

At this moment, Aozaki Touko also woke up. She yawned and walked out of a room. Seeing Mikaela had already started eating and Waver with a murderous look on his face, she didn't bother to wash up and went to the dining table. Without saying a word, she sat down in a chair.

However, as she picked up her chopsticks, Mikaela looked up at Aozaki Touko and said in a very calm tone, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth first."

"I'm a doll, I don't need to wash my face or brush my teeth at all." Aozaki Touko waved her hand, indicating that there was no problem at all. She had too many bodies, and if she didn't apply cleaning Magecraft to them, she would probably be covered in dust the moment she 'revived'.

"..." Mikaela didn't speak, just calmly looked at Aozaki Touko.

Looking at Mikaela's unwavering eyes, Aozaki Touko sighed and said somewhat speechlessly, "Can't you change your habits? We Magecraft naturally have ways to clean our mouths and such."

"People always need to retain some small habits, otherwise they will unknowingly become a different person." Mikaela picked up her chopsticks and looked at Aozaki Touko calmly. "Moreover, your doll can do everything and is completely identical to a real person. It can bleed and get pregnant. If you don't retain some common sense about being 'human,' it is easy to lose your true self."

"Come on, you haven't even lived as long as me, you little fifteen-year-old." Aozaki Touko rolled her eyes, but she obediently stood up and walked towards the restroom.

After all, she knew Mikaela's temper very well. Back in the Garan no Dou, Mikaela was a chef who cooked for her every day.

Lunch and dinner were fine, but breakfast was a different story. Mikaela declared that if you didn't wash up before coming to eat, she would absolutely not let you pick up your chopsticks.

At that time, Aozaki Touko was unconvinced. It's unclear whether she was genuinely unconvinced or wanted to have a match with Mikaela.

The two had a brief fight, and in the end, Aozaki Touko obediently admitted defeat and went to wash her face and brush her teeth.

After finishing breakfast quickly, Waver hurriedly left the house, just like a typical office worker.

Aozaki Touko and Mikaela went to another place.

"To be honest, you need to be careful." Aozaki Touko, carrying her handbag, lit a cigarette and looked at Mikaela calmly. "That Celestial Department Lord will definitely not help you unconditionally. I've met that guy a few times, but he's very cunning. The first few times I understood what he was trying to do, but this time I can't figure out what he's after."

Aozaki Touko is a woman who has witnessed all sorts of major events. In terms of political skills, she is in no way inferior to the heads of the major families. Even the Lord the Clock Tower holds her in high regard.

This time, however, Aozaki Touko felt that the Celestial Department Lord's goal was a bit strange. She said that he was trying to win over Mikaela, but he stated that he would create Spirit Origin for Mikaela unconditionally.

It could be said that he wasn't trying to win over Mikaela; inside the Clock Tower, he actually protected her in every way.

Unable to see through it, Aozaki Touko felt that this Celestial Department Lord, who had always been relatively unknown, seemed to be about to make some big move.

"Mm." Mikaela nodded. He knew that Aozaki Touko was doing this for his own good, which was why she was kindly reminding him.

However... Mikaela naturally knew what the other party really wanted: nothing more than for him to become a 'Master' and save Human Order.

P. S.: "There's a big plot development going on recently, and your dear author feels inadequate, so to give you a better reading experience, I've gone to read other people's books!"

PS: "That's right! Reading other people's books helps me improve my understanding of the plot, so... I'll be taking a break for a while!"

Chapter 259 Olga Marie

The Animusphere Family, or rather, the Celestial Department Lord.

Their family were like hermits within the Clock Tower, not involved much in the central political struggles, so their reputation was so small that only insiders knew of their existence.

Most Magecraft only know about the Celestial Department Lord and the Animusphere Family; they know nothing about the other members of the Celestial Department.

Although it has lost its fame, the Celestial Department, which has managed to maintain its Lord position, still wields unimaginable power.

At this moment, Aozaki Touko brought Mikaela to a large villa owned by the Animsphere family, where people had been waiting for a long time.

At the entrance, a girl who looked only seven years old stood. She had striking white hair and her clothes, though not fancy, exuded an air of nobility.

"Hello, I am Olga Marie Asmirette Animsphere." Although she was still young, she seemed to be able to tell at a glance that Aozaki Touko and Mikaela were extraordinary people.

The reason was that her father had instructed her yesterday that important guests would be arriving today, and she should go and greet them. If she could gain their favor, that would be a good thing.

Children who are innocent and guileless are obviously more likable than scheming adults.

Aozaki Touko looked at Olga Marie with great interest and naturally recognized her as the daughter of the current Celestial Department Lord. If nothing unexpected happened, she would inherit the throne of the Celestial Department Lord after her father's death.

Although only seven years old, Olga Marie is already a well-trained Magecraft, with a friendly smile on her face that makes it seem completely genuine.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the little girl Olga Marie's facial expression is somewhat twitching, as if she is very unaccustomed to showing such a smile to people.

"Olga?"

As if she had thought of something, Mikaela looked at Olga Marie, and a certain man who would never stop came to mind.

It seems that the other party was also persecuted because they shared the same name as a certain 'regimental commander'.

'I am Olga Marie Asmirette Animsphere, the Director of Chaldea!'

'It's alright if Chaldeas absorbs it.'

'Protecting residents is my job.'

'That's enough, you can leave.'

Everyone is waiting for you.

'And.'

'Ritsuka... I finally understand.'

'We don't need to deliberately save Human Order.'

Just keep moving forward.

'As long as we don't stop, the road will keep extending... and Human Order will be saved.'

Because I won't stop.

'As long as you don't stop.'

'I'll definitely be there up ahead.'

So...

'Just stop it...'

"Pfft." Recalling some lines from his past life, Mikaela smiled, but soon he walked to Olga Marie's side, reached out and patted the future director's little head, saying with a smile, "Take us to see your father."

"Yes." Olga Marie's friendly smile had vanished. She didn't like being touched on the head, but since the other person was her father's honored guest, she wouldn't show any 'dislike' or anything like that.

As the heir to a large family, she was a well-educated person.

Led by Olga Marie, Mikaela and Aozaki Touko finally met Marisbury Animsphere, who seemed to be talking to Reif. When he noticed Aozaki Touko and Mikaela's arrival, he smiled gently and walked towards them.

"Long time no see, my friend."

Marisbury's attitude towards Mikaela and Aozaki Touko remained as good as ever, making it impossible for anyone to feel any resentment.

"Is everything ready?" Mikaela didn't mention that her injuries had fully healed, but instead looked at Marisbury and asked if the Nameless Spirit Core was ready.

He still has the Medusa Spirit Origin and an incompletely fused Valkyrie Spirit Origin within him, so theoretically he doesn't need the Nameless Spirit Core in Marisbury's possession.

"Of course." Marisbury knew that Mikaela's injuries had healed and that she no longer needed Nameless Spirit Core, but he still smiled, seemingly very happy that she had accepted the gift.

"Nameless Spirit Core?"

Olga Marie, who was also quite well-educated, looked at Mikaela with some surprise, as if she had already guessed something. After all, although this thing was valuable, no one needed it.

If we must say who needs them, it would probably be the Servant in the Holy Grail War.

But... don't Servant in the Holy Grail War have their own Spirit Origin? Why would they need Nameless Spirit Core?

"Here you go." Marisbury picked up a small suitcase from the side and casually handed it to Mikaela. He chuckled, "This isn't easy to make, but since you're willing to accept it, it means..."

Although Marisbury didn't finish his sentence, his meaning was clear: Mikaela accepting the gift was practically an agreement to his request.

"You should win the Holy Grail War first." Mikaela looked at the briefcase in his hand. He poured magic into it, only to find that the magic disappeared without a trace as soon as it touched the briefcase. Clearly, this briefcase was also an expensive item.

"Oh?"

Marisbury narrowed his eyes, and for the first time, the gentle smile on his face disappeared, clearly indicating that he was surprised.

"The Holy Grail in Romania is only a half-finished product. Most of its core is probably in your hands." Mikaela gave Marisbury a deep look and said calmly, "It's a good method, but it's a pity about that Darnic. He schemed against others his whole life, but in the end, he was outsmarted by you, you old fox."

"We have different goals. What he wants is completely different from what I want."

Marisbury smiled gently again and said casually, "Besides, that guy is pursuing the future of his family, while I am pursuing a much nobler goal."

"I need to go into seclusion, and I don't know how long it will take. If I come out, I will assist you." Mikaela put her briefcase into her card and looked at Marisbury in a calm tone. "In addition, I heard that you have a distinguished guest here. May I meet him?"

"Well... I can't make that decision. It depends on whether she's willing to see you." Marisbury smiled slightly, his tone very serious. "Because that distinguished guest is much more important than you."

"You are the one who has passed away, and she is the one who has not passed away."

PS: "Hmm, I'm starting to get into the swing of things, author, keep it up!!!!"

Chapter 260 Akuta Hiyori

"Oh."

Upon hearing Marisbury's words, Mikaela didn't say much. After all, everyone has their own sense of right and wrong, and they naturally know who is important and who is not.

Moreover, Marisbury seemed to have figured out Mikaela's temperament, which is why he bluntly said that the distinguished guest was more important than Mikaela.

Of course, Mikaela didn't care about these things. His relationship with Marisbury was purely transactional; the other party gave him Spirit Origin, and he did things for the other party—it was that simple.

There won't be any conflict or resentment over a single sentence.

"Olga Marie, you may step back now."

At this moment, Marisbury seemed to realize something and asked Olga Marie to step back for the time being.

"Yes, Father." Olga Marie nodded naturally, glancing reluctantly at the suitcase in Mikaela's hand, knowing how valuable the contents were.

After Olga Marie withdrew, Marisbury smiled at Mikaela and Aozaki Touko and said, "Then I will lead you to that esteemed guest room."

Soon, just as the three of them arrived on the second floor, a girl with an Asian face walked up to the stairs. She was wearing black-rimmed glasses and holding a book in her hand.

"Um?"
