Surviving Is What Matters Most / If I Use This, Who Will I Summon?

"!"

Doctor Roman's tuft of hair stood up, clearly forming the character 'danger'.

"There's no need to discuss it anymore. He's just a fake Solomon who's run into the real Solomon."

At that moment, a familiar voice appeared in the Control Room. Professor Reif had somehow returned to Chaldea. He stood naturally in the center of the ruins and said in a very serious tone, "Thanks to that king, I was freed."

"Professor Reif?!"

The moment they saw Reif, all the staff panicked, because the only two Servant in Chaldea who could fight were Mash and Da Vinci.

"You?! How did you get here?!" Doctor Roman was unusually flustered for a moment, but he quickly placed his hand on his left middle finger, ready to pounce if the other party dared to start a massacre!

Then he would have to reveal some of his strength, even though this would mean the end of his peaceful life.

"Don't be nervous, I was just being controlled." Reif maintained his calm smile, looked around, and clicked his tongue in amazement, "I didn't expect Flauros to be so ruthless, blowing all the Master to the brink of death in one go."

"..."

No one responded, but instead looked at Reif with wary eyes. After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka had been captured by him twice in Singularity F, and now that he had returned to Chaldea openly, he was very likely planning to wipe them all out.

"He has no ill intentions now."

At that moment, accompanied by a subtle energy fluctuation, Mikaela appeared in Chaldea.

As soon as he appeared, Reif immediately knelt on one knee and said in a very respectful tone, "Your Majesty, Chaldea welcomes your arrival."

"King?" Doctor Roman was shocked. He quickly turned his gaze to Mikaela and discovered that she actually possessed the aura of a 'Lord,' which greatly alarmed him!

Mikaela looked at Doctor Roman, her eyes devoid of any emotion, as if she were looking at an ordinary person.

"Hiss!!"

Doctor Roman felt his hair stand on end. To be honest, he was all too familiar with that look. Back when he was King Solomon, he often looked at the world with that same gaze.

He shut out all emotions and acted as a perfect king.

"You you you you!!"

At this moment, Doctor Roman was truly bewildered. He was certain that he was the real King Solomon, but what was going on with the other party?

He carried the aura of the Lord, and just like I used to be, his eyes were devoid of any emotion.

'Could it be? He's me from another timeline?!'

For some reason, this thought popped into Doctor Roman's mind, but he quickly shook his head vigorously. How could that be!

However, upon closer examination, if he wasn't the real King Solomon, how could the other Seventy-Two Demon Gods have stopped attacking?

Surely they can't all be blind?

And another thing! How could he possibly become a girl in another timeline?

Oh wait, he seems to be a boy, so that should be right... what the hell?!

"Buzz..."

As if sensing something, the ring on Doctor Roman's left middle finger began to stir restlessly, seemingly intending to break away from its 'owner' and fly towards Mikaela.

The ring's allure caused Doctor Roman's expression to change completely.

That's right, the Servant whose real name is Mikaela is definitely 'himself', because besides the Lord, only he is qualified to wield the Ten Rings.

"???"

Mikaela watched Doctor Roman's series of face-changing tricks, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. What was wrong with this real King Solomon?

Why did he go from being shocked at the beginning, to disbelief later, and then as if he realized something, and his whole demeanor became decadent?

"Oh, oh, what a distinguished guest!"

At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing glasses stepped out. She looked at Mikaela and smiled, "However, can you guarantee his loyalty? To be honest, I'm not confident I can deal with such a treacherous and cunning demon god."

Da Vinci knew very well about King Solomon's Seventy-Two Demon Gods. Although she had been slacking off, it didn't mean she was unaware of what was happening in the Control Room.

"In Solomon's name, he will not do anything to threaten you. He came here to better teach Fujimaru Ritsuka." Mikaela looked at Da Vinci and said in a very calm tone, "Moreover, if Flauros wants to cause a ruckus in Chaldea, there are people who can stop him."

"That's right!" Professor Reif nodded, and said very seriously, "I would never do anything harmful to Chaldea, even if it meant risking the name of Flauros."

"~~~" Da Vinci smiled slightly, as if she understood something. She looked at Doctor Roman, whose demeanor had become dejected, and said, "Alright, the two of them are basically harmless now."

Chapter 323 Survival is the Best Thing

Walking through Chaldea, Mikaela looked around, a subtle sigh flashing in her eyes. She thought back to when she was also a savior of Human Order.

"Your Majesty, the infirmary is this way." Reif, acting as the guide, was unusually excited. He couldn't help but burst into laughter inside, after all, among the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, he was the only one who accompanied the king.

Hahaha! Such glory is truly irresistible! When he gets the chance, he must return to the Temple of Time and show off in front of those guys.

"I'll leave after I see Fujimaru Ritsuka." Mikaela looked at Doctor Roman and Da Vinci and said calmly, "Reif has indeed joined your team. There will be plenty of time for them to witness his loyalty."

"No, I don't care about his affairs." Doctor Roman's face was full of 'complexity'. What he really cared about was Mikaela. He felt he needed to find out what was going on with her.

"..."

Mikaela turned her head and looked at Doctor Roman with a subtle expression. He seemed to have thought of something and said calmly, "You don't need to think too much. You are an ordinary person now. Thinking too much is useless."

"Ah!" Doctor Roman was startled. Looking at Mikaela's calm gaze, his heart trembled slightly, as if he understood something. He said somewhat dejectedly, "Well, it seems so."

Da Vinci looked at Roman and Mikaela with a somewhat subtle gaze. She sensed something was amiss, but she pursed her lips and said nothing more.

"Romani, you don't need to doubt my loyalty. My loyalty to the King is as clear as day!" Reif also knew that he had blown up Chaldea and then returned immediately, which would seem very strange to 'ordinary people'.

However, Reif had no intention of giving Romani and Da Vinci a friendly look. He only needed to serve Fujimaru Ritsuka. In the entire Chaldea, only Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka could elicit any kindness from him.

"Hahahaha." Doctor Roman gave a forced smile. Why didn't I realize before how loyal you were to me?

Soon, the four of them arrived at the infirmary. Mikaela calmly walked in and found Mash taking care of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Ah, Ella-senpai, you're alright!" Mash saw Mikaela and showed a surprised expression, but she quickly saw Professor Reif as well. Her expression changed, and without saying a word, she took out her shield and looked at Reif with great vigilance.

"He is harmless now."

Mikaela said casually, then walked to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side. Looking at the unconscious Fujimaru Ritsuka, he reached out and took out the card protecting Olga Marie's soul from her pocket. He said calmly, "Da Vinci, can you make a new body?"

"I'm a genius, this is naturally easy for me." Da Vinci smiled. She naturally wanted to save Olga Marie, even though the guy's attitude was quite rude. But there were very few living people Chaldea.

It's a good thing that the director survived.

"Then it's up to you." Mikaela tossed the card to Da Vinci and said calmly, "After you've created Olga's body, crush this card, and her soul will naturally come out."

"What an interesting power." Da Vinci accepted the card, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. An item that could contain a soul was quite rare to her. When creating Olga Marie's body, she would also want to study how this card was made.

"The power of the king is beyond your comprehension."

Reif snorted coldly, clearly he was an old acquaintance of Da Vinci and could see at a glance what the other was up to.

"If we don't study it, who will know?" Da Vinci said with a smile. She didn't like Reif very much, not only because he had blown up Chaldea, but also because of his attitude that he absolutely couldn't figure it out, which annoyed Da Vinci.

She's a genius; even if Mikaela were the legendary King Solomon, she would still find a way to dissect the source of his power.

"..."

Roman scratched his head. He really didn't think 'himself' was that strong. This 'himself' in another world must have obtained other powers, although he didn't know how she obtained them.

However, since she herself didn't say anything, he had no right to ask, after all, he had already given up everything of King Solomon.

"You all go out first." Mikaela looked at the others and told them to leave first. She herself sat down next to Fujimaru Ritsuka and said in a calm tone, "I plan to sit next to Ritsuka for a while."

"That..."

If Mikaela hadn't brought Reif along, Mash would definitely have agreed. But now she was watching Mikaela, unsure whether she was friend or foe.

"Mash, let's go." Da Vinci spoke up, shrugging with a hint of helplessness. "If he really wants to hurt us, then you can't protect all of us."

Mikaela's strength has already been demonstrated; if she really wants to do something, Mash definitely won't be able to stop her.

"Sorry, I got too excited." Mash thought about what Da Vinci said and realized that Da Vinci was right. With the power that Senior Ella had shown, she had no chance of defeating her.

Faced with the choice of angering or trusting the other party, Mash felt it was better not to anger Ella-senpai, especially since Ella was the one who personally sent her out.

She was just overreacting to seeing Professor Reif, thinking he had joined forces with the enemy.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that if Mikaela were to join forces with the enemy, Chaldea would be essentially doomed.

After Reif and the others left the infirmary, Mikaela sat quietly in a chair, looking at the unconscious Fujimaru Ritsuka. It would take some time for her to wake up.

"The Holy Grail's magic power is almost gone." Mikaela placed her hand on her chest, feeling the Holy Grail's magic power within her, and sighed inexplicably.

Having stored up so much magical power, in order to save Fujimaru Ritsuka, he revealed all his trump cards at once, summoned so many powerful Heroic Spirit, and transformed into Grand Servant — King Solomon.

Although he won, his magic power was almost exhausted.

"To be honest, I don't know if it's worth it or not." Mikaela reached out and stroked Fujimaru Ritsuka's face, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

In order to save Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mikaela gave up her hope of returning home quickly.

"However, there is only hope if we survive."

Mikaela pinched Fujimaru Ritsuka's cheek, and a rare smile appeared on her usually indifferent face.

Despite expending so much magic and paying such a high price, they both survived in the end.

That's what's truly worthwhile.

PS: "Sigh, the next chapter is the end of the prologue~ What plot should I write next? I'm deep in thought."

Chapter 324 Who will be summoned by using this?

Time passed slowly, Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly opened her eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Are you awake?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately turned his gaze to the side. Mikaela was sitting there calmly, having somehow found an apple and conjured a fruit knife in his hand, where he was peeling it.

"Sister Ella, you're alright." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled with relief as she saw Mikaela sitting next to her peeling an apple.

After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka knew very well that Sister Ella had told her that the enemy was an extremely powerful being, and even if Isla's true form came, she would not be able to defeat him.

"Thanks to you, I'm barely out of danger." Mikaela raised an eyebrow slightly, handed the peeled apple to Fujimaru Ritsuka, and said calmly, "You're not fully recovered yet, lie here and rest for a while."

"Hmm." Fujimaru Ritsuka obediently took the apple, and said in a strange tone, "Do I look like a princess about to eat a poisoned apple?"

"Princess? Then I'm the wicked queen?" Mikaela's lips curled into a strange smile. Although he had been training hard, he knew the joke that Fujimaru Ritsuka was talking about.

"Hehehe, Sister Ella so beautiful, how could she be a wicked queen?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled as she took a bite of her apple; to be honest, she was both hungry and thirsty.

Don't you have any particular ideas?

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile, Mikaela's smile vanished. He looked at her seriously and said, "I'm the Servant almost abandoned you. Don't you hate me?"

"Hate?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked bewildered. She bit into an apple and said with a hint of helplessness, "Why would I hate Sister Ella? You didn't do anything to me."

"Besides, at that time, Sister Ella were barely able to protect yourself, why did you come to protect me?"

"Although I was very scared, I wouldn't have asked Sister Ella to risk her life to save me. People are... it's normal to be selfish. I would have just carried Sister Ella to save me back then."

At this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a slight embarrassment, because she felt that her idea was a bit too weak.

"..." Mikaela fell silent. He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said calmly, "This is perfectly normal. I used to feel the same way, hoping that a hero would rescue my family and reunite us."

"However, reality is always so cruel. No one sent my parents back, and I eventually managed to do it through my own strength and influence."

At this point, Mikaela chuckled self-deprecatingly and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka as she continued, "I'm not a saint or a savior, just an ordinary person who complains about everything."

"Why did other people have happy families when they were young, while my father left and my mother was imprisoned when I was young?"

Sometimes, Mikaela really felt that she wasn't a good person and that she did everything with self-interest in mind.

"But Sister Ella saved me." Fujimaru Ritsuka sat up, put the apple peel she had finished eating into the trash can, and looked at Mikaela with a smile, "Sister Ella is my hero."

Looking at the innocent and naive Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mikaela's heart was touched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Perhaps. He saved Fujimaru Ritsuka for no personal gain; he simply saw his own vulnerable self from back then and instinctively rushed over to save her, just as he had saved his helpless self back then.

In the original world, Mikaela's mother was arrested by the police, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

In Singularity F, Fujimaru Ritsuka was captured by the Goetia because of Mikaela.

However, this time, he had the ability to save Fujimaru Ritsuka, so he did it, summoning a large number of Heroic Spirit and using almost all of his magic power to forcibly save her.

I gave everything, but all I got in return was a thank you.
