Don't Be Curious / The Chaldea Plan

The group quickly left the Grand Temple, preparing to search for the mysterious 'Servant' that Mikaela had mentioned.

"That's... astonishing."

On the throne, Ramesses II looked extremely grim. He had expected to witness a great battle Servant, and he had even prepared to strengthen the defenses on that side so that both sides could unleash their full power.

It turns out they knew each other?! And judging from their conversation, they were quite familiar with each other!!!

"Well."

Ramesses II sighed, clearly disappointed, but he quickly shook off his earlier disappointment and said with interest, "Now things are getting interesting. The Lion King, who seemed to have the upper hand, is now in a very difficult situation."

"Hahahaha, I really want to see that guy's face. The Lion King, who has become a god, what kind of expression will he have if he sees this situation?!"

"I'm sure her expression will be really ugly."

Watching Ramesses II's expression shift from disappointment to ugliness, and finally to bursting into laughter, Nitocris was at a loss for words. This was probably what a pharaoh was like.

Being able to freely control one's mood and find things that bring joy immediately.

"Yes, yes, that's right, she'll definitely look terrible." Ramesses II agreed with Nitocris. He looked into the distance and said calmly, "It's a pity I won't be able to see her face. After all, I'm going to use her as my trump card to break through her fortified castle!"

Just as Mikaela thought, now that they were allied, Ramesses II would definitely do everything in his power to help them.

Moreover, Ramesses II and the Old Man of the Mountain share similar interests. The reason he didn't agree to Mikaela's request earlier was simply because she hadn't demonstrated the power to convince him.

"But..."

Ramesses II gazed into the distance, as if he could see Mikaela's departing figure. He said calmly, "Could it be that Chaldea was able to defeat that King of Magic because of her power?"

Chaldea knows her; it's the guy in that communication device who even made that maid his Master.

Ramesses II was no fool; with so many clues laid out before him, he naturally deduced part of the truth.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with me anymore. Now all I need to do is wait quietly." But soon, Ramesses II gave up thinking about it, feeling that there was no point in thinking about it anymore.

Since the maid said that the King of Magic is not a concern, the focus now is on the Lion King.

Why focus on The Lion King? We don't know about Ramesses II yet, because the King of Magic is far, far superior to The Lion King.

However, the other party is an old acquaintance of Chaldea, and the two seem to be very familiar with each other.

A bold idea popped into Ramesses II's mind.

"Perhaps I've been a bit too hasty. The real show is yet to come." Ramesses II closed his eyes and began to focus on repairing the wound on his neck.

The outer perimeter of the Grand Temple.

"It seems that the feeling of being watched disappeared after leaving the Grand Temple."

Ryougi Shiki looked into the interior of the Grand Temple. She had just noticed that after entering the Grand Temple, a gaze was secretly watching them.

Although she didn't know who the owner of that gaze was, Ryougi Shiki still disliked that kind of prying look.

This reminded her of a guy she really disliked.

"That spy is very strong." Asagami Fujino nodded, her voice very soft, and her body moved closer to Mikaela intentionally or unintentionally.

After becoming Servant, their five senses were greatly enhanced, and they developed a unique perception of danger.

After entering the Grand Temple, Mash, Ryougi Shiki, Asagami Fujino kept a close watch on Fujimaru Ritsuka, because the three of them knew very well that there was a terrifying being inside the Grand Temple.

However, after meeting Mikaela, although they didn't say anything on the surface, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they had witnessed Mikaela's strength firsthand. She was someone who could confront the King of Magic head-on, and her strength was simply terrifying.

"He has become my ally. Now, in this Singularity, the only target we need to deal with is that Lion King."

After leaving the Grand Temple, Mikaela no longer concealed anything, and said in a very calm tone, "There are two Servant in this Grand Temple, one is Ramesses II, and the other is Nitocris."

"Kindness?!"

Olga Marie suddenly appeared, somewhat surprised, and exclaimed, "It's Ramesses II?!"

"Director, is he very famous?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused. Although she had been cramming a lot of knowledge during this period, the battles at the Singularity were too intense, and although she had learned a lot, she hadn't been able to catch up.

However, most of it is practical knowledge, which is completely incomparable to Olga Marie's work, which is specifically designed to help people understand 'historical figures'.

"How should I put it? He's a very famous, and terrifying, existence." Olga Marie bit her finger, her voice filled with apprehension. "If we're talking about Servant standards, he's probably one of the top tier Servant, even more terrifying than King Arthur who held the Holy Grail."

"That's true." Mikaela nodded slightly. He looked at the Grand Temple behind him and said calmly, "This pyramid is his Noble Phantasm. To exaggerate a bit, this is his home ground. If he had intended to kill you just now, you would have had a hard time escaping."

As she said this, Mikaela glanced at Ryougi Shiki, even though it was said that it would be difficult to escape.

However, if the 'one' inside Ryougi Shiki were to emerge, it would be quite easy for her to take Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others away.

"How did he become your ally?" Olga Marie was puzzled. She was considered Servant 'expert' and knew a great deal about Ramesses II's deeds.

Judging from that arrogant guy's personality, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ramesses II would absolutely never become an ally of anyone else.

"He can't beat me, and we have the same goal," Mikaela explained calmly.

PS: "Hahahaha!!! I'm back in action!! Five chapters a day starting today!!! Bounty begins tomorrow ( )"

Chapter 398 No Curiosity Allowed

Walking across the desert, Mikaela briefly explained the information about their group.

The Chaldea side also realized that in just a few days, Mikaela had won over the two major powers of this Singularity and was about to launch a campaign against the most powerful power in this Singularity.

"The Knights of the Round Table, the true Holy Grail, the living gods."

These three words made Olga Marie fall into deep thought. Having multiple Knights of the Round Table was already a difficult task. Back in Fuyuki City, two Knights of the Round Table had almost caused Mash to die.

Well, although those two Knights of the Round Table were slacking off at the time, Mikaela's assessment of them was that if they were serious, dealing with Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Cú Chulainn would be no problem at all.

Indeed, Tristan and Lancelot were already quite powerful, and when Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Cú Chulainn joined forces against them, they did not engage in direct confrontation.

Instead, they used harassment tactics to hold the two of them back until Mikaela arrived, which finally allowed the two Knights of the Round Table to leave the scene.

Things are different now; the Lion King's Knights of the Round Table actually have five!

Lancelot, Gawain, Tristan, Mordred, Agravain.

"This is a bit troublesome." Olga Marie bit her finger, her eyes filled with anxiety. She said very seriously, "How are we supposed to fight this?"

"Oh, this is alright."

Beside him, Da Vinci sipped his coffee, saying somewhat speechlessly, "Even if it's the real Holy Grail, the arrival of all the Knights of the Round Table, or King Arthur becoming a god, so what? In the Singularity of Fuyuki City, there are beings of that scale, not nonexistent."

In the last Singularity in Fuyuki City, there were gods, not to mention beings even more terrifying than gods.

Compared to that time, this time the opponent is not particularly terrifying.

"That's not how it works." Beside him, Doctor Roman, who had no dark circles under his eyes and looked completely relaxed, said slowly, "What the director means is, now that Mikaela is making special efforts to win over allies, could it be because of the last 'incident' that her own strength has not yet recovered?"

When it came to 'his own strength', Doctor Roman was clearly quite nuanced.

Mikaela transformed into the living King Solomon, leaving Doctor Roman speechless for a moment.

"Yes, I'm worried about that too." Olga Marie nodded quite seriously.

Chaldea has temporarily cut off contact with Mikaela, and neither Mikaela nor Fujimaru Ritsuka in the Singularity can hear what they are discussing.

Of course, if Doctor Roman hadn't severed ties with Olga Marie, he would probably have been subjected to a barrage of criticism from Amon and Reif.

"That's true." Da Vinci put his coffee cup aside, stroked his chin, and said quite seriously, "After all, the more powerful Servant, the more magic power they need. The King of Magic who appeared last time had already exhausted all of Mikaela's magic power."

"As he just mentioned, he arrived at this Singularity a long time ago, but due to excessive depletion of his magic power, he had to go into seclusion. He only emerged from seclusion in the last few days."

At this point, Da Vinci said somewhat subtly, "In a sense, he is a truly terrifying existence. In just a few days, he has won over both sides of this Singularity. His social skills are exactly as Irisviel. Ellie described."

Hi~ Are you calling me?

Accompanied by a very gentle sound, Irisviel, dressed in the Heavenly Garment, appeared beside them. With a gentle smile, she looked at Olga Marie and said, "Are you talking about Aila-chan?"

"Yes, Fujimaru has already made contact with him."

Olga Marie sat in her chair, turned around, and looked at Irisviel, continuing, "To be honest, he is still as capable as ever. I thought our arrival would bring him some surprises, but it seems he had already anticipated it."

"Sigh! So why doesn't he become Chaldea's Master?" Olga Marie rubbed her temples, clearly having a terrible headache.

Mikaela is very strong and powerful; from any perspective, he is a perfect person.

However, this perfect being neither Chaldea nor wants to become Master who saves Human Order, which gives Olga Marie a real headache.

Before his father died, he gave him an ace, but because of Fujimaru Ritsuka, that ace was lost.

Olga Marie also knew why Mikaela didn't Chaldea; she had a good idea of what was going on.

If she hadn't dragged Fujimaru Ritsuka over on her own, Mikaela would definitely have automatically Chaldea after waking up and conveniently dealt with the Grand Order Incineration.

However, because she brought Fujimaru Ritsuka over, she angered Mikaela, and thus lost the favor her father had left behind.

Even though it was her fault, Olga Marie will not apologize!

"That's a question for you to answer yourself," Irisviel said with a gentle smile. "When Kiritsugu summoned Aila-chan, he made it clear that his goal was the Holy Grail and that he would win the Holy Grail War. But his goal will always be the same."

"Although she sometimes resorts to despicable means, in a sense, Aila-chan is an upright person."

Irisviel spoke highly of Mikaela.

"How did you get through those two Holy Grail War?"

Da Vinci spoke up, looking at Irisviel with some curiosity and asking, "According to Chaldea's intelligence, I also know about the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, and the Holy Grail War in Romania. He assisted you in winning both of those Holy Grail War."

"Hasn't this topic already been discussed?"

From who-knows-where, Emiya Kiritsugu appeared out of nowhere. He was gloomy and looked at Da Vinci with a very calm gaze, saying, "There's no need to discuss topics that have already been discussed."

I'm curious too!

Illya appeared, holding Ruby staff; she had clearly been eavesdropping for quite some time.

After all, she had heard about Mikaela since she was a child, but she didn't know much about the two Holy Grail War that her parents participated in.

All she knew was that Mikaela was the savior of her and her mother.

"Don't be curious." Emiya Kiritsugu's already unpleasant expression became even worse.

"Ara ara~" Irisviel blushed slightly, unsure of what to say, since it was better to keep such things to herself.

"Since you're unwilling to say, Mr. Emiya, then I won't ask anymore~ But it's true that Mikaela needs a lot of magic power to unleash her true strength, right?" Da Vinci looked at Emiya Kiritsugu's unpleasant expression and didn't press further, instead asking the most important question.

Chapter 399 The Chaldea Plan

"So, if we give all of Chaldea's magic to the maid, then everything will be fine?" Olga Marie's eyes flickered slightly, a strange light seeming to emanate from them.

This is terrifying. If Servant uses magical power as his strength were to give both of the Holy Grail that Chaldea recovered to Mikaela, would that allow him to surpass his strength in Fuyuki City at that time?

"Indeed, according to the records, after Mikaela received the Holy Grail magic from Irisviel, she instantly became a terrifying being, an unobservable target, just like the King of Magic."

Doctor Roman, who was still drinking coffee, seemed a little lost in thought, unsure of what to say.

Ah, that seems to be true, that guy seems to have become me.

If I had taken off my gloves and become King Solomon, there would probably have been three 'King Solomon' looking at each other in bewilderment.

"That's right."

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded. As Mikaela's former Master, he looked rather weathered as he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Even though he had become Servant, he still had cigarettes in his clothes.

"..."

Irisviel and Illya stared at Emiya Kiritsugu.

Although the two did not speak, they were of one mind at that moment.

"Sigh, so what's the reason this time?" Emiya Kiritsugu said calmly, holding a cigarette. "I'm Servant now, and a mere cigarette can't possibly harm me. Besides, you're all Servant now, so you have no reason to stop me."

During his lifetime, Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to smoke many times, but was always stopped.

The person who started this was Mikaela, Maiya Hisau perfectly picked up the beginning. Irisviel also took on the role, and later, that "cheap son" also took on the role.

Yes, that's right. Now Emiya Kiritsugu knows that the Servant he summoned was his adopted son, Emiya Shirou!

Things are different now. Everyone here is either Magecraft or Servant; they're not ordinary people. He wanted to see what reason his daughter and wife had to stop him.

Of course! If they really can't come up with a reason, he will put down his cigarette. After all, he has forgotten what smoking tastes like. He just subconsciously wants to take out this thing.

Emiya Kiritsugu a cigarette, looking at his daughter and wife with amusement, wondering what their excuse was this time.

"He's just an ordinary person!"
