Reunited / You Figured It Out?

Arash simply smiled like a child, appearing so harmless, after all, Amon's strength was indeed a bit weak.

However, Mikaela did not agree to let them come with him. He looked at Arash and Amon and asked them to take good care of the village. He was leaving temporarily and did not want anything to happen to the village.

Although Arash and Amon are indeed very strong.

However, considering that Mordred and Lancelot may have returned to the Holy City, the Knights of the Round Table are very likely to be mobilized once again.

Under the sneak attack, even Arash could not stop Lancelot and the others from joining forces. Although Kyoshiko's strength was enough to hold off one of the Knights of the Round Table, it was because of Mikaela.

The enemy Knights of the Round Table will definitely mobilize in full force. Just in case, Mikaela left Arash and Amon in the village. At least the three Servant them and one Demon God Pillar can work together, and Hassan hasn't all died by now.

The village will certainly not be breached by the Knights of the Round Table in a short period of time.

After hearing what Mikaela said, Arash and Amon had no choice but to stay.

After giving all the instructions, Mikaela hurried toward the coordinates. The other party seemed to have already left the desert area and was heading in the opposite direction.

If it weren't for King Hassan's guidance, Mikaela probably wouldn't have known that the Shopkeeper's Daughter had actually come into this world.

In order to get there as quickly as possible, Mikaela took out the Oath of Judas and used her flight mode.

More than ten minutes passed, and on a deserted plain, Mikaela saw... the captured Shopkeeper's Daughter.

"So, I'm not Servant, why are you arresting me?"

The Shopkeeper's Daughter was captured by the Purification Knight, and she shouted angrily, "I'm just a traveler, do you understand?"

"One Servant has been captured and is being transported to the nearest prison. Initial assessment suggests that the threat level is extremely low; they are likely a low- Servant." The Purification Knight ignored the Shopkeeper's Daughter and instead spoke to someone else.

"Huh?! I'm not a nobody! Nor am I Servant!" the Shopkeeper's Daughter shouted helplessly.

Chapter 371 Reunion

Although the Shopkeeper's Daughter shouted that she was not a lowly Servant, in the eyes of the Purification Knight, she was indeed Servant.

The Purification Knight were not very intelligent; they were robots serving the Lion King and the Knights of the Round Table, and they didn't care what kind of enemy they were.

Whether old, weak, sick, or disabled, they are all considered a threat by the Purification Knight.

The Shopkeeper's Daughter offered little resistance, which is why she was captured so easily by the Purification Knight.

"Sigh, really. Although this isn't the first time, it's still frustrating to be grabbed by this kind of being for no reason." The Shopkeeper's Daughter muttered to herself as she was obediently being carried by the Purification Knight without any resistance.

It was as if they had completely given up the struggle.

It wasn't that she didn't want to resist, but rather that resistance was futile. After all, this kind of thing had happened far too many times, and she had become too lazy to fight back.

It's just jail time anyway! At worst, I'll just eat for seven days and then go play in the next world.

"High-energy response! Enemy attack!"

Just then, the Purification Knight seemed to have discovered something. Without saying a word, they formed a battle formation. However, as they formed the formation, countless spears of light rained down, killing all the Purification Knight.

"Wow~ This has been a long time coming." The Shopkeeper's Daughter looked up at the sky with some surprise, spotting a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. She clapped her hands lightly and smiled, "The sixth Ella~"

"??????"

Mikaela looked bewildered, but then he jumped down from the Oath of Judas, landed on the ground, and stared at the Shopkeeper's Daughter without saying a word.

Because they looked so alike, this was the first time Mikaela had ever met the Shopkeeper's Daughter from another world, and the girl was almost exactly the same as the Shopkeeper's Daughter in her memory.

If I had to point out any difference, it would be that she was far more mature than I remembered.

If the Shopkeeper's Daughter in Mikaela's memory were captured by someone else, she would never have screamed like she just did. Instead, she would have calmly thought about how to escape from the other party's grasp.

Even if she couldn't escape, she would pretend to be calm, as if everything was under her control. She appeared calm, but inside she was panicking.

However, this one... was clearly a seasoned pro. She didn't care whether she would be rescued or not, and didn't even want to suffer any physical pain, so she surrendered early on.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised? Well, it's quite normal. After all, this is our first time meeting in this world."

The Shopkeeper's Daughter rubbed her hands, and seeing that Mikaela was staring at her face, she said helplessly, "I know you've always wanted to go back, back to the so-called original world, and I in that world am also waiting for you to go back, so good luck~ Aila-chan."

The familiar address brought Mikaela back to her senses. She looked calmly at the Shopkeeper's Daughter and said, "This should be the second time we've met, not the first time."

"Huh? So you're the fifth Aila-chan, not the sixth?"

Now it was the Shopkeeper's Daughter's turn to be confused. What happened? This wasn't what was agreed upon.

"..." Mikaela sighed helplessly. He had already guessed it through Valkyrie's Noble Phantasm that there was a 'self' in the Type-Moon World. However, before the Shopkeeper's Daughter met him, she had actually encountered 'himself' four times.

I really don't know what to say about this.

"Your eyes are better now, and your five senses have returned!" The Shopkeeper's Daughter exclaimed in amazement as she circled around Mikaela. She sighed, "Oh my, it's been so long since I've seen this outfit. I even wore it once before."

"Only once, and then she was eliminated," Mikaela complained.

"NONONO~ No~ I'm not from the same world as you. I didn't fail the exam. I got into high school very smoothly. But because my parents were too lazy, I just took over the Maid Cafe. And your parents didn't die either. They just casually got dragged to work at the Maid Cafe by me."

Perhaps because it was their second meeting, the Shopkeeper's Daughter found it all very exciting. She became more talkative and raised her hands to make an "X" shape.

It seems that the encounters with the previous Mikaela have allowed the Shopkeeper's Daughter to learn about the experiences of her counterpart in another world.

For example, you might attend a certain college, but after only a few days, you're rejected by a teacher and can't graduate from high school. You'll end up working in a maid café run by your parents, and that's your life forever.

She looked at Mikaela and smiled, "You, like the other Ellas, were brought to this world because you entered a state of 'fake death,' but I'm different. In my world, Aila-chan is an esper."

"Although his power is very similar to yours, he is a different being from you. Well, to be precise, he is an equivalent from a different world."

"Look," the Shopkeeper's Daughter said, handing Mikaela a card with a light laugh. "You two look very similar, but you're not actually that alike."

Mikaela picked up the card, which featured a picture of 'herself' dressed in a maid outfit.

Strictly speaking, it should be the self without using the transformation ability. Although the two look similar, they are not particularly similar.

However, compared to her own perpetually cold expression, the other person seemed much more radiant and cheerful. Just from the card alone, Mikaela's first impression was that the other person was happier than she was.

"He's more manly than you, or rather, he's not as power-hungry as you are." The Shopkeeper's Daughter smiled as she simply distinguished the differences between the two worlds of 'Mikaela'.

"However, he certainly won't be the same when he grows up." Mikaela also showed a rare smile as she returned the card to the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

"Well, there's nothing you can do about genes."

The Shopkeeper's Daughter shrugged helplessly. She clearly knew that even if Mikaela in her world didn't use the transformation ability, she would still become more and more beautiful in the future.

After all, they are from a family of cross-dressers, so it's quite normal for them to be even more beautiful than women.

In the early stages, she might appear somewhat androgynous, but later, or rather, after she becomes an adult, Mikaela will definitely look just like her father, extremely beautiful.

"It seems the resemblance is quite high. Would you like to sit over there for a while?" Mikaela invited the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

Although she knew the other person wasn't the Shopkeeper's Daughter from her world, encountering an old friend in a strange place brought a touch of warmth to Mikaela's otherwise rather cold heart.

He didn't want to pursue any great power; all he wanted was a little warmth.

Although it's a bit funny, Mikaela is just an ordinary person who longs for a little warmth.

"Do I have a choice?" The Shopkeeper's Daughter shrugged, took Mikaela's hand, and chuckled, "Let's go. I won't leave you for at least seven days."

PS: "It wasn't easy, but I've finally managed to capture a bit of the female lead's feel."

Chapter 372 Did you think of that?

"Hmm~ So, you've made a deal with the Counter Force?"

On the way back, the Shopkeeper's Daughter held Mikaela's hand and said with some surprise, "That's amazing. None of the other 'you' made a deal with the Counter Force."

"Why?"

Mikaela found it strange that the other 'selves' didn't make a deal with the Counter Force, since making a deal with the Counter Force was the best option at this stage.

It's obviously impossible to go home without making a deal with the Counter Force.

Mikaela originally wanted to return on her own, but all her efforts were in vain in order to save Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It would probably take hundreds of years to rebuild his power. Due to his multiple transformations, Mikaela could clearly feel that his lifespan had increased many times over.

Although he cannot be called an immortal being, Mikaela felt that his lifespan had been extended by several hundred years. If this continued, he would only become stronger and stronger, and his lifespan would extend to a terrifying level.

But what's the point of continuing like this? Mikaela didn't want to go on like this; he wanted to go home, back to his warm little home.

No matter how strong he is, if his parents turn to dust, what can he do to save them?

Therefore, the sooner they return, the better. This is why Mikaela agreed to cooperate with Alaya. She cannot limit herself, while he will help her solve the problem of the Grand Order Incineration.

"Well, their ideas are different from yours. They probably want to rely on their own strength to go back. When I first met 'you,' she was working in an ordinary Maid Cafe. To be honest, I cried so much when I met her."

Thinking back to that time, the Shopkeeper's Daughter showed a very complicated expression. Her world had been destroyed, but she met her best friend and (**) in another world. The emotions she had been suppressing suddenly burst out.

"..." Mikaela remained silent, though he could understand the Shopkeeper's Daughter's thoughts.

When he met the Shopkeeper's Daughter, he was slightly shocked. Meeting a familiar person in an unfamiliar place made Mikaela wish she could keep her by her side and talk for three days and three nights.

"Wait, you mean her?" Suddenly, Mikaela realized her blind spot; he and she were quite different.

Although Mikaela is now dressed in a maid outfit and has a more feminine personality, he is still a man and can impregnate women, so he is definitely a beautiful boy now.

Has the other self completely given up its male identity?

"Hmm~ Very pretty, and has a great figure, but her personality is much, much colder than yours." The Shopkeeper's Daughter smiled, took Mikaela's hand, and breathed heavily, clicking her tongue in amazement, "Hmm~ It smells even better than last time."

"You're still the same as I remember you," Mikaela said expressionlessly. The Shopkeeper's Daughter used to be just as clingy to him, though he used to find it rather annoying.

But now... Mikaela thinks this is pretty good, at least someone will talk to her about things that 'people of this world' can't understand.

"Hmm~ I haven't changed at all." The Shopkeeper's Daughter laughed and continued, "I asked that 'you' when she planned to return to her own world, but she shook her head, indicating that the time was not right."

"Is the timing not right? Or is it that we lack the strength?"

Mikaela was puzzled. Only he knew himself best. After learning that the other 'self' had not returned, his first reaction was that his strength had not yet reached the standard to transcend the world, so he could only work peacefully in a Maid Cafe.

"~~~~"

The Shopkeeper's Daughter didn't speak. She just looked at Mikaela and chuckled, "The first four 'you' I've met have all become women. They're not in a hurry at all, as if they're all waiting for an opportunity."

"Although I don't know what the trigger was, when I asked them, they just smiled and didn't say anything. They only said that this was the only way, and even if we missed the deadline, we could still go back to the 'correct timeline'."

Silence fell over Mikaela, who had originally just wanted to chat with the Shopkeeper's Daughter. He silently took out a pipe, put it in his mouth, and began to think intently.

Seemingly aware that Mikaela was deep in thought, the Shopkeeper's Daughter quietly let go of her hand, allowing her to concentrate on her thinking.

He has always been so intelligent; no matter which world he goes to, no matter which world he is in, Mikaela is always the embodiment of perfection.

Any problem is merely a matter of time for him.

As time ticked by, Mikaela entered a state of complete absorption, his eyes taking in the words spoken by the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

It's not that we lack the ability, but rather that the timing isn't right.

The only way, even if we miss the deadline, is to return to the "correct timeline."

"Time?" Mikaela murmured to himself, his only thought being to control the flow of time.

But... how much magic would it take to change the flow of time in the entire world? That amount of magic is enormous, no! It's simply impossible.

Even with such a vast reserve of magic, Goetia couldn't possibly reverse time. If he dared to do so, not only would Alaya not tolerate him, but Gaia would likely send someone to kill him.

"Is it similar to the Singularity method?" Mikaela continued to ponder. If the Goetia method were used, then it seemed like it would work.

As long as I return to my original time, no matter how much time has passed, I can return to my parents' side.

"The key point is..."

Mikaela stopped in his tracks. He had a general idea of what he was thinking. He looked up at the band of light in the sky and muttered to himself, "What should I do?"

"That's up to you. I'm just giving you hints." The Shopkeeper's Daughter shrugged and walked to Mikaela's side. "Besides, you should also know that different worlds have different rules. Don't just blindly imitate them and end up in a dead end."

"They must have found the right method. As for what that method is, that's up to you."

"Rules, the world, methods."

Suddenly, Mikaela seemed to understand something, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

"You figured it out?" The Shopkeeper's Daughter saw a hint of disappointment in Mikaela's eyes, but she quickly shook her head and continued with a bright smile, "As expected of you, you can think of anything right away."

"Boom--!!!"

Suddenly, a crimson beam of light shot towards them.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, Mikaela instinctively took out the Oath of Judas, activated a defensive barrier, and forcibly blocked the beam of light.
