You Call This Borrowing? / Just a Little! I Only Know a Little
"Hmm..." Number Four, 'Ella', nodded slowly. She put her black clothes back on and wrapped herself up tightly. She clearly didn't like others seeing her body, even though in the eyes of outsiders, she was excellent in both figure and appearance.
Number Four, 'Ella,' said calmly, 'After successfully undergoing the 'transformation,' I was immediately captivated by the feeling of increased power, but after discovering that I hadn't succeeded... I almost destroyed a city.'
Mindset is very important. The reason why Number Four 'Ella' is quoting scriptures like this is because she doesn't want Number Five 'Ella' to find that she has ultimately become a woman after her 'transformation' and destroy an entire city in a fit of rage.
"Don't worry." Mikaela nodded slightly. He was sure he wouldn't have a mental breakdown like Number Four 'Ella'.
"So, did you come here just to see us, or is there something else?" 'Number Two' Ella asked, a pipe dangling from her lips. A hint of drowsiness appeared in her eyes, indicating she had no intention of continuing the conversation.
"I want the Shopkeeper's Daughter to stay with me for a while." Mikaela knew this was unavoidable, and he said calmly, "She has been traveling long enough. Let her stay in Chaldea to rest for a while, and let her leave when she has the idea of leaving."
"By the way, Number Two, don't you have Clairvoyance? Why didn't you know about my actions?" Mikaela looked at 'Number Two' Ella with some curiosity.
In Mikaela's mind, when he entered this space, Number Two 'Aila' probably already knew what he wanted to do.
Aren't all those who possess the ability to see Clairvoyance voyeurs?
"Don't think of me as one of those two guys." Number Two 'Ella' rolled her eyes, looking incredibly cute. She said lazily, "I don't like using my Clairvoyance to spy on others. After all, I'm a person of principle."
"Not to mention."
Number Two 'Ayla' looked at Mikaela calmly and said, "I'm not in the Type-Moon World, how could I possibly spy on you every day? Just now, my 'original body' crossed time and space to take a look at your past, and then I didn't continue watching."
"Hmm~" Number Two 'Ella' looked at Mikaela meaningfully and said, "However, Asagami Fujino has a good figure. Before you 'transform,' why don't you consider getting her pregnant and leaving an heir? That would be a pretty good choice."
"..." Mikaela was speechless. He was no longer able to describe his inner emotions in words.
"However, if we want to limit the Shopkeeper's Daughter's space-time teleportation, we must limit Number One's power." Number Two, 'Ella', sighed slightly and said helplessly, "After all, Number One gave up most of its power to protect the Shopkeeper's Daughter."
"I heard Number One say that she had already undergone 'three' transformations and her power had almost reached the point where she could beat Goetia to a pulp."
"If we follow the normal procedure, we definitely won't be able to properly restrain Number One's power."
Number Two, 'Ella,' looked at Mikaela and said calmly, 'Moreover, Number One is currently in a 'transformation' state, unable to communicate with us, and even less able to control its own power.'
"If Number One hadn't entered the 'transformation' state, this would have been much easier." Number Three, 'Ella,' who had been relatively unnoticed until now, spoke gently. She said slowly, "However, this isn't the first time we've encountered this situation, so the next steps are relatively simple."
"How do we do it?" Mikaela asked directly. He had other things to do later, so he needed to leave temporarily.
"Well, it's very simple. Just put your 'card' into the Shopkeeper's Daughter's body, and then the four of us can 'join forces' to suppress Number One's power."
Number Three, 'Ella,' smiled gently: 'After all, it's not just you. We also kept the Shopkeeper's Daughter with us for a long time, but we had to let her continue her journey because we didn't have enough time.'
"At Number Two, we were quite worried that the other person might not be able to stand the loneliness, so we put a part of our consciousness inside the card, and then this chat room was formed inexplicably."
Speaking of this, the other 'Ellas' were obviously quite helpless. Their original intention was to keep the Shopkeeper's Daughter from feeling lonely, and to set a coordinate so that if something happened to her in the future, they could rush to the scene as soon as possible.
This is not an isolated incident; when the Shopkeeper's Daughter traveled through time, she encountered a terrifying demon.
The other party had a very volatile temper. When he saw the Shopkeeper's Daughter traveling through time, he kidnapped her without saying a word and planned to kill her later.
And then... that was it.
Without saying a word, Number One immediately took action. Using the coordinates left by the Shopkeeper's Daughter, he teleported directly to the demon god's side, slapped him so hard that he was seriously injured, and then killed him with a single sword strike.
This is why the Shopkeeper's Daughter was so fearless after being captured by Mordred and his gang, in case she were in real danger.
That means someone else is in danger.
The power that King Hassan spoke of to disrupt the rules of the world also belongs to the power within the card.
"I understand. Now, as long as I put the 'card' representing myself into the Shopkeeper's Daughter's body, I can keep her by my side, right?" Mikaela understood, and his body began to become ethereal.
Number Two, 'Ella,' looked at Mikaela calmly and said, 'Our powers are from the same source. The power of the four of us can slightly restrain Number One's power, preventing her from recklessly activating the 'time travel' power. The reason I asked you to leave a card is simply to facilitate better information exchange between us.'
"Okay, I understand."
Mikaela's figure completely disappeared into this space.
Chapter 483 You call this a loan?
Unfamiliar...
No, it's not the ceiling, but a rather ordinary-looking face. However, upon closer inspection, one might find that this face is quite beautiful.
"How long have I been asleep?" Mikaela asked calmly, without showing the smile the Shopkeeper's Daughter wanted.
"About seven hours."
Olga Marie's resentful voice rang out from the side as she looked at Mikaela speechlessly and said, "What on earth happened to you?"
"Seven hours?" A look of shock flashed in Mikaela's eyes, because he remembered that he hadn't communicated with 'himself' for very long.
It's only a little over an hour at most, how could it be seven hours?
"The internal time is different." The Shopkeeper's Daughter seemed to see Mikaela's confusion and said slowly, "After all, 'they' are you from different times. Although we meet through cards, if the internal time system is not changed, you may have to wait inside for several hours before they respond to you."
"So, you mean I spent a long time just waiting inside for them to arrive?"
Mikaela seemed to understand something. No wonder the three 'Aila's' consciousness came as soon as she entered. The first one, Number Four 'Aila', even said that she needed to wait a little while.
So that's what they meant by "wait a little while".
"That's really impressive," Mikaela exclaimed. He truly hadn't expected to be taught a lesson even after he came out.
The ability to control the flow of space and time, and to create this 'self' within it, indicates a terrifying level of power.
"You seem quite surprised," the Shopkeeper's Daughter said, noticing Mikaela's astonished expression. "But why don't I see any happiness on your face?"
To be honest, right now the Shopkeeper's Daughter just wanted to see Mikaela's genuine smile.
After all, that smile was just too beautiful; no matter how many times she saw it, she never got tired of it.
So now the Shopkeeper's Daughter is hinting that she hopes Mikaela will know how much she has benefited from that 'space' and then show a genuine smile.
"Why should being surprised mean being happy?" Mikaela looked at the Shopkeeper's Daughter with some confusion. He was indeed surprised, but being surprised did not mean being happy.
"All right..."
The Shopkeeper's Daughter was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't say anything more.
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. After all, the other 'Ellas' didn't find a way home until they entered that space, and then they found a way home and showed a genuine smile.
The current Ella has already spoken with her 'self' in different timelines and worldlines, and she has already found a way to 'go back'.
It's possible that Mikaela gained some benefits from that space, but the most 'surprising' benefit was already known to the other party, which is a real pity in a sense.
"~~~"
Seeing the Shopkeeper's Daughter's somewhat disappointed expression, Mikaela forced a smile, seemingly intending to comfort her in this way.
"Alright, alright, stop laughing. I need to talk to you." Olga Marie rolled her eyes. Anyone could see how perfunctory Mikaela's smile was at that moment.
Looking for me?
Mikaela immediately stopped laughing. He looked calmly at Olga Marie, then glanced at the doorway.
Goodness, it seems like most of the Servant I know are here.
Jeanne d'Arc, Kiyohime, Minamoto no Raikō, Artoria (Alter), Brynhildr, Valkyrie, Ryougi Shiki, Asagami Fujino, and many more...
It seems they crept up on me without me even realizing it while I was sleeping.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Mikaela didn't speak to Jeanne d'Arc and the others immediately, after all, Olga Marie seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.
This was evident from her sleepy eyes.
"Let's talk next time." Mikaela said calmly, glancing at the Servant he recognized at the door, and then snapped his fingers.
He disappeared into the room along with Olga Marie, Da Vinci, Doctor Roman, leaving only the Shopkeeper's Daughter and a group of female Heroic Spirit behind.
"Hello everyone." The Shopkeeper's Daughter smiled gently at the female Heroic Spirit and said with a light laugh, "I'm Aila-chan's friend. I'll be staying here for a long time, so please take good care of me."
"Wow, this is amazing! Is this the power of the Ten Rings?"
As Da Vinci watched them return to the director's office, he exclaimed with genuine admiration, "Truly worthy of being called King Solomon!"
Doctor Roman's lips twitched slightly; for a moment, he seemed at a loss for words. He was the real Solomon!
Although he is just an ordinary person now, he is indeed King Solomon.
"Sometimes I really don't know what your true identity is." Olga Marie sat in her chair, pulled up information about Mikaela, and said speechlessly, "At first her identity was 'Judas,' then her identity became a Servant another world, and finally, through information provided by Emiya Kiritsugu, it was confirmed that she was an ordinary human from another world."
'You call this an ordinary human being?' Doctor Roman thought to himself.
"... Just how terrifying must the other world be?" Da Vinci was somewhat ashamed. If an ordinary human possessed such power, was that other world teeming with heroes and where gods were as insignificant as dogs?
Olga Marie, of course, had no idea what Doctor Roman and Da Vinci were thinking.
At this moment, she looked at the ten gold rings in Mikaela's hand with a somewhat speechless expression and sighed, "Now, you've transformed into King Solomon and even obtained the Ten Rings."
"So, you mean you just want to ask me about my identity?" Mikaela looked at Olga Marie and said in a calm tone, "If that's all, then I can leave, because the information is correct except for a small part that is wrong."
"For example?"
Before Olga Marie could speak, Da Vinci interrupted swiftly, asking curiously, "Those intelligence reports are incorrect."
Olga Marie gave Da Vinci a disapproving look; this guy was indeed extremely curious.
"First of all, I am neither Solomon nor Judas."
Mikaela said calmly, "I am just an ordinary human being. The power I have now is only temporarily borrowed."
'Yes, the kind of situation where the original owner couldn't resist even if they wanted to,' Doctor Roman, the victim, continued to think to himself.
God the hell, this is borrowing power!!! This isn't borrowing power! It's outright and blatant robbery.
P. S.: "Recently, my keyboard has been having some issues, often omitting a single character and changing the meaning of the entire sentence. If possible, please remember to mark this down! I will correct it."
Chapter 484 Just a Little Bit! I Only Know a Little Bit
Doctor Roman kept repeating this to himself, even though he had already accepted the fact that he was just an ordinary person.
But who doesn't complain to themselves in their heart?
Mikaela looked at Doctor Roman with a somewhat speechless expression; your inner thoughts were written all over your face.
Can't you hide your true self at all?
"I see~" Da Vinci seemed to have discovered something at this moment. She looked at the ring on Mikaela's hand, then looked at Doctor Roman's hand, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "I think I understand now. Let's get down to business."
"Oh!! Right, right, right!!" Olga Marie realized that she had important business to discuss with Mikaela.
However, after waiting for about seven hours in vain, and then being suddenly teleported to the director's office, she was momentarily stunned and almost forgot about the important matter.
'As expected of the all-knowing Da Vinci.' Mikaela naturally realized that Da Vinci had obtained the information she wanted, so she decisively steered the conversation away from Olga Marie's thoughts.
Because if Olga Marie were allowed to continue thinking, she might discover something.
After all, while the Clock Tower Lord may be somewhat brainless, that only means they are used to being 'high and mighty' and manipulating power, and they don't take others seriously.
However, most Clock Tower Lord are absolutely no less capable than others in terms of judging people and wisdom.
Because... falling behind invites aggression; this is an undeniable rule.
If Olga Marie hadn't been smarter and more ruthless, she wouldn't have been able to inherit her father's estate.
Olga Marie looks so pathetic now because she doesn't have much room to think; she's mostly led by Da Vinci and Mikaela.
How much do you know about Group A?
Seemingly remembering the question she wanted to ask, Olga Marie struck Commander Ikari's signature pose, staring calmly at Mikaela and said, "In Father's plan, you were originally the captain of Group A. Even that guy Gilshtalier once said that if you woke up, he would be willing to hand over the captaincy to you."
"Both my father and Gilshtalier praise you as the most suitable person to be the captain, but after my long investigation... you are probably the least suitable person to be the captain."
Indeed, Olga Marie clearly saw that Mikaela was simply not suited to be a captain compared to Gilshtalier.
Although Olga Marie disliked Gilshtalier, she had to admit that this seemingly mild-mannered guy was indeed very suitable to be the captain of Group A.
As for Mikaela...
Whether it's the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail War in Romania, the Burning Fuyuki City Singularity, or the final Sixth Singularity.
Although each battle seemed to be the result of Mikaela leading everyone to unite and cooperate.
However, Olga Marie keenly observed that Mikaela preferred to work alone and would never gather everyone to fight unless there were special circumstances.
Emiya Kiritsugu was well aware of this.
When discussing Mikaela with everyone, Emiya Kiritsugu, as a warrior, pointed out Mikaela's 'perfection' and 'imperfection'.
What's perfect is that she can do everything perfectly, even on the battlefield, she remains the perfect and elegant maid.
