Nonsense / Karna Arrives Uninvited

Holmes is probably still searching for 'some event' right now, and even if he finds the other party now, he is unlikely to Chaldea as a technical advisor.

Of course, this was something that was planned beforehand, but now Mikaela has decided to put these things aside for the time being and take a good rest first.

This is the third time we've met, isn't it?

In the corridor, Mikaela and the Shopkeeper's Daughter encountered Jeanne d'Arc. Jeanne d'Arc seemed to be heading somewhere. Unlike the previous two times, she wasn't wearing armor; she was dressed in casual clothes, just like Emiya Kiritsugu, Emiya Shirou, and the others.

"Hmm." Mikaela looked at Jeanne d'Arc and chuckled, "How are you doing in Chaldea?"

"It's not bad at all. I've met quite a few Servant here." Jeanne d'Arc continued, looking at Mikaela. "But what surprised me even more was that you are actually a human from another world."

It's clear that Jeanne d'Arc also came into contact with information from Mikaela in Chaldea, after all, she wasn't deaf or stupid, and there was also the Servant that was initially summoned by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

All of them were people related to Mikaela. The two sides gathered together and chatted for a while. Many Servant learned a lot about Mikaela from Emiya Kiritsugu.

Because of her previous interactions with Emiya Kiritsugu and others, Jeanne d'Arc managed to extract a lot of information she didn't know before.

Even the recent revelation that Mikaela was 'King Solomon' made Jeanne d'Arc feel somewhat ashamed.

Just how many identities does the opponent have? First, there's Saber from the last Holy Grail War, then there's the flesh-bearing Servant, the human from another world, and King Solomon. This series of identities makes Jeanne d'Arc, whose brain isn't very sharp, a little dizzy.

So she simply went to ask the Lord what Mikaela's true identity was, and whether she was King Solomon!

Then the Lord answered her that the other party was a human from another world, but if the other party wished, he could inherit King Solomon's 'Ten Rings' and position, and he was qualified to do so.

Mikaela nodded slightly. He had never hidden his identity. If he came from another world, he came from another world. Most Servant also came from parallel worlds.

For example, Artoria could wage a Holy Grail War on her own.

Soon, Jeanne d'Arc looked at Mikaela and suddenly asked, "By the way, is there something you need to do now?"

"Huh?" Mikaela was a little confused. He asked, somewhat puzzled, "I have nothing to do, why do you ask that?"

"Oh, I see... I'm sorry, you seemed very busy earlier, so I thought you came to Chaldea just to accomplish something, not to have fun." Jeanne d'Arc gave a rather awkward smile.

"... Is this the impression I give people?"

Mikaela sighed, realizing that he was seen as someone with a strong sense of purpose by outsiders.

Okay, although his execution and action were indeed a little exaggerated in order to accumulate strength, it shouldn't have left such an exaggerated impression.

"Hahahaha." Jeanne d'Arc gave an awkward yet polite smile. At that moment, she seemed to realize that the current Mikaela was clearly different from the Mikaela she had seen in Romania last time.

The other party is no longer in a hurry to act, but plans to rest instead.

This surprised Jeanne d'Arc, because in her memory, Mikaela had always been the kind of person who was energetic and impulsive.

She is very efficient and can usually finalize a plan within ten minutes. She then mobilizes available personnel to fight, and if possible, she will also participate herself to achieve victory.

"However, this is not bad. I was a little worried about your condition last time. Seeing you stop and look at the scenery around you, I think this is very good."

Jeanne d'Arc smiled gently, and she seemed genuinely happy.

Although she has always been known as a "Black Whistle," Jeanne d'Arc was a very good person, and as a friend, she was very qualified.

"Why does everyone say that?" Mikaela couldn't help but sigh, looking somewhat helpless. But he quickly looked at Jeanne d'Arc and got straight to the point. "An old friend of mine, Aozaki Touko, wants me to go to the beach. Would you like to come with us?"

"The seaside?" Jeanne d'Arc blinked, thought about it seriously for a while, and finally said, "It seems nice. If you say so, then I will definitely participate."

"Now that Aozaki Touko has confirmed the time, let's go there."

Seeing that Jeanne d'Arc wanted to participate, Mikaela nodded and prepared to continue searching for people who wanted to attend the beach party.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Mikaela was about to leave with the Shopkeeper's Daughter, Jeanne d'Arc suddenly called out to them.

"What's wrong?" Mikaela stopped and looked at Jeanne d'Arc with some curiosity, wondering what was wrong.

"Didn't you plan this operation?" Jeanne d'Arc seemed quite surprised. During the few days she spent with Mikaela, she had handled almost everything, big or small.

In Jeanne d'Arc's memory, this seemed to be the first time that Mikaela had delegated a task to someone else and completely ignored it herself.

"Yes, that was suggested by my friend, a puppeteer named Aozaki Touko." Mikaela revealed the matter, as it was not a secret at all.

"Is that so?" Jeanne d'Arc smiled gently and said softly, "You have a good friend who cares about you."

"Yes, so I'm very grateful to her." Mikaela smiled slightly. He knew that Aozaki Touko had taken on this job specifically for his own good.

If you say that Aozaki Touko did so many things just to increase Mikaela's affection, obtain his bodily fluids, and see her shy appearance in her female form.

This... doesn't seem impossible.

Perhaps thinking of Aozaki Touko's wicked sense of humor, Mikaela sighed helplessly, hoping that the other party didn't have such ulterior motives in helping her.

Bodily fluids are fine, he doesn't care about things like saliva anyway.

Chapter 496 Nonsense

After bidding farewell to Jeanne d'Arc, Mikaela went to find some 'acquaintances' to go to the beach.

The first family is naturally the Emiya family!

"Want to go swimming and relax?"

Dressed as an assassin, Emiya Kiritsugu was typing away on his keyboard in his room. He frowned and said dismissively, "I'd rather write more..."

"We're willing!!!" Irisviel was unusually excited. She covered Emiya Kiritsugu's mouth to indicate that her family was willing to go.

"I still have work to do." Emiya Kiritsugu had a headache. The Grand Order Incineration would definitely end, and their current 'Servant' status would definitely disappear as well.

The family still needs to make a living then.

He uses the pen name Gen Urobuchi's Emiya Kiritsugu and is a big name in the fields of light novels, anime direction, and manga.

Although he doesn't write these now, he can still make a living from his previous works.

However, once people get used to doing something, they will subconsciously do the same thing in other places.

After becoming Servant, Emiya Kiritsugu clearly felt that his thinking ability had become faster and his typing speed had increased.

Moreover, in the past, sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard would cause a series of negative symptoms such as back pain, dizziness, and drowsiness after only a short time.

Now that he's Servant, Emiya Kiritsugu feels he can work day and night.

Even though you don't make any money this way, isn't writing all sorts of stories a particularly joyful thing?

Of course! Although she could work day and night, Irisviel did not agree, which made Emiya Kiritsugu very disappointed.

"Is work more important than going to the beach?" Irisviel smiled so sweetly it was almost sickening. She looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, "Besides, how long has it been since you spent time with Illya and Shirou?"

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu had a premonition that if he continued to refuse, something particularly unpleasant might happen.

For example, the endless 'juicing'. Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu shuddered. He decisively stood up, saved the draft, and shut down the computer in one go!

"When?!" Emiya Kiritsugu looked serious, as if he were going to war. After all, going to the beach to play was almost the same as going to war in his eyes.

The last time I went to the beach was probably when I was still a child, before I had killed my own father.

"Don't be in such a hurry. I didn't organize this event. I just plan to relax." Mikaela skillfully ignored the scene where Irisviel forced Emiya Kiritsugu.

In Chaldea, although I know many people, I am definitely close to Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel.

"Kindness?"

As expected, a hint of surprise flashed clearly in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes after he learned that this event was not arranged by Mikaela.

Clearly, Emiya Kiritsugu the same reaction as Jeanne d'Arc, believing that Mikaela was the planner of this operation, not the perpetrator.

"Alright, I'll go inform the next one." Mikaela naturally noticed Emiya Kiritsugu's surprise, but he was too lazy to explain anything now.

After explaining everything one by one, I'm afraid I might not be able to gather everyone who's going to the beach by nightfall.

After Mikaela left, Emiya Kiritsugu casually took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He looked at Irisviel with some surprise and said, "He seems to have changed a lot. If it were before, he wouldn't have done these useless things."

"Leisure and entertainment, isn't that normal?" Irisviel thought it was perfectly normal. After all, Mikaela was, after all, a teenager, and it was perfectly normal for her to want to have fun.

Moreover, her son, Emiya Shirou, seemed very mature in his youth, but he also loved to play. He often hung out with Shinji Matou from the Matou family, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

Although Irisviel dislikes playboys like Shinji Matou, it seems that Shirou hasn't been corrupted, so she turns a blind eye.

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't say much to Irisviel, after all, only he himself could understand just how heavy the weight of that 'sense of responsibility' weighed on a person.

He would never stop to rest until he had achieved his true goal.

'It seems someone helped him out,' Emiya Kiritsugu thought to himself.

"Go to the beach?" Ryougi Shiki frowned slightly in the main room. She was sitting on the bed, eating ice cream, wearing a white shirt and just a pair of underwear, nothing like shorts.

Although it looks a bit revealing, for example, Mikaela can clearly see the other person's buttocks now, and if she gets closer, she might see some things that shouldn't be seen.

"Yes, that's right, it was Touko who suggested it." Mikaela looked Ryougi Shiki up and down, and said speechlessly, "Aren't you going to try to hide yourself?"

"Do I need to? I've never thought of you as a male creature." Ryougi Shiki ate her ice cream, not caring that Mikaela would see her like this. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, Ryougi Shiki had a mysterious sense of trust in Mikaela.

If the other person were a lecherous maniac, she would probably change her clothes when he came in, instead of continuing to wear those indoor clothes.

"However..." Ryougi Shiki looked at Mikaela with a strange expression and said, "That old hag Touko actually suggested that you go to the beach. That's really strange."

"That's fine, I'm quite interested. Going out for some fun would be nice."

Ryougi Shiki readily agreed, then seemed to remember something, handed the ice cream to Mikaela and asked, "Do you want some? It tastes pretty good."

"...No need, just treat me like a man and get dressed." Mikaela sighed.

Although she might become a woman in the future due to 'transformation', Mikaela felt that she was still a man now, and Ryougi Shiki should at least restrain herself and show her some basic respect.

He wasn't talking nonsense.

The Shopkeeper's Daughter, standing nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled, clearly finding the scene quite amusing.

Ryougi Shiki glanced at Mikaela and said in a speechless tone, "Hey, you're such a nuisance."

A flash of white light Ryougi Shiki around Ryougi Shiki, and her white shirt vanished instantly. She was back in her familiar clothes. As she ate her ice cream, she looked at Mikaela and said, "Have you chosen your candidate?"

"There are a few more people. Let's ask them if they're coming." Mikaela looked at Ryougi Shiki and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

"It's too much trouble. Call me when you're done."

After finishing the rest of Ryougi Shiki ice cream, Ryougi Shiki stretched and lay on the big bed, clearly looking like she didn't want to move.

"Okay."

Mikaela nodded, said nothing more, and left the room with the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

Chapter 497 Karna, the Uninvited Karna

Next, Mikaela visited many old friends, such as...

"Going swimming?" Asagami Fujino blushed slightly, then quickly nodded and said, "I'll definitely go!!"

In Asagami Fujino's memory, this was the first time Mikaela had invited her to go out.

Although it was just a very ordinary activity, Asagami Fujino didn't know why, but she felt as if spring had already arrived.

"See you then." Mikaela took her leave and headed to the next shop with the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

Asagami Fujino quickly ran to Da Vinci, hoping that he would design a nice swimsuit for her!

"An invitation to the beach? That sounds like a good idea."

In the training room, Cú Chulainn, who was practicing his 'spear technique' with great effort, looked at Mikaela with some surprise. He casually tossed his wooden spear aside and chuckled, "Is that archer going or not?"

Cú Chulainn was referring to Red A, who is Emiya Shirou. The two of them can be considered old rivals.

When Mikaela was away, Cú Chulainn would often spar with Red A, and the two would fight back and forth.

Red A also frequently Projection a version of Want Want Ice Cream to Gae Bulg and tease Cú Chulainn.

This made Cú Chulainn want to beat Red A that damned Archer. He could have Projection Noble Phantasm that was slightly inferior in quality to the one that Gae Bulg, but he just didn't do it.

Each time, it Projection a 'Gae Bulg' that can be broken with a knee.

"He'll be taken away by his parents." Mikaela chuckled. Even if Red A disagreed, it wouldn't matter, because in the Emiya family, Irisviel was the 'strongest'.

"Hahahaha, this is really interesting. Now we have a source of delicious food. Perhaps we should bring some fine wine with us."

At this point, Cú Chulainn suddenly stood up, picked up the staff that was casually placed aside, and strode towards the door, saying as he went, "I'm going to Da Vinci's place to get some fine wine. What kind of wine would you like to drink?"
