Mash Kyrielight's Great Failure / Aira: I'll Summon Just Once

The person who spoke first was naturally Mash, who was clearly very surprised as to why Akuta Hiyori would be here.

Because ahead lies the Chaldea Summoning Department, the place responsible for Servant.

"Are you... a senior from Group A?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Akuta Hiyori, her voice involuntarily becoming respectful.

On ordinary days, Olga Marie would constantly compare the members of Group A with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

For example, he would say things like, "If so-and-so were there, they would definitely have done a better job than you in this incident, so Fujimaru Ritsuka, you have to work even harder," and so on.

Moreover, in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind, the seniors in Group A were no less than Sister Ella.

Perhaps they are not as strong as Sister Ella, but from Olga Marie's usual words, Fujimaru Ritsuka can sense just how powerful the Master who entered Group A are.

Moreover, Akuta Hiyori's attire at this moment is quite deceptive. She wears glasses, resembling a quiet young girl, and holds a book in her hands, appearing intellectual and as if she possesses great wisdom.

Comparing herself to others, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt like a country bumpkin from the countryside.

"Yes, hello. You don't need to call me senior, just call me Akuta Hiyori." Although she said that, Akuta Hiyori took two steps back and covered her face with a book.

However, Mikaela could clearly see that although Akuta Hiyori was ostensibly covering her face with a book, her gaze was not on the book, but rather she was constantly observing Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It seems that Akuta Hiyori has already learned a lot about Fujimaru Ritsuka from Doctor Roman.

Although Akuta Hiyori's identity has been almost 'exposed', Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka are unaware of this.

It wasn't that Olga Marie deliberately hid it from the two of them, but rather that Akuta Hiyori's identity was simply too shocking.

Can you believe that this seemingly quiet and gentle girl is actually an 'immortal' who has lived for countless years?

"Okay, my name is Fujimaru Ritsuka. I look forward to working with you in the future." Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped forward a few steps and extended her hand to Akuta Hiyori, looking very friendly.

'...'

Akuta Hiyori put down the book in her hand, glanced silently at Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, and then focused her gaze on Mikaela.

It's as if to say, "Is this the kid you raised? He has no sense of vigilance at all!"

Mikaela looked calmly at Akuta Hiyori, her eyes telling her, "Yes, this is the child I raised. She's very approachable, isn't she?"

"We'll talk about the future when it comes."

It's unclear whether it's because Fujimaru Ritsuka herself is too approachable, or because she's wary of Mikaela.

Under Mash's surprised gaze, Akuta Hiyori extended her hand and politely shook hands with Fujimaru Ritsuka. Then, she said calmly, "I have something to do now. I'll talk to you later."

After saying that, Akuta Hiyori walked towards the Summoning Department on her own, clearly intending to perform a ritual to summon Heroic Spirit.

"This is truly astonishing." Mash walked to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, looking at Akuta Hiyori's back, and couldn't help but say, "Akuta Hiyori, to actually shake hands with a stranger... If this had happened a few months ago, it would probably have been a major event that would have caused a sensation in Chaldea."

"Huh? Why?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed a little confused, completely unaware that shaking hands would become such a 'big event'.

"The reason is simple: she doesn't like other people touching her, especially humans." Mikaela looked at Akuta Hiyori's back; to be honest, he was quite surprised just now.

I thought Akuta Hiyori would ignore Fujimaru Ritsuka's 'reckless' actions and just turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to extend their hand to shake hands, although this is a very normal gesture to most people.

However, this is not a normal thing for someone like Akuta Hiyori.

"Let's go, let's hurry over there and see what kind of character she will summon."

Mikaela called out to Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka, telling them to stay close to her.

P. S.: "I finished this drawing a long time ago, and I should have shown it to you guys sooner, but I completely forgot!! How terrifying!! I even subconsciously forgot about the Shopkeeper's Daughter!"

Chapter 502 Akuta Hiyori's Great Failure

As expected, when Mikaela and her two companions arrived at the Summoning Department, Akuta Hiyori was already there preparing for the Servant summoning ritual. She took out something that looked like a 'cloak' from somewhere and carefully placed it in the place where 'Holy Relic' were kept.

"Is this a summoning ritual?" Mikaela looked at Akuta Hiyori with her hands clasped together, as if she were praying for something, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Logically speaking, you yourself are already an 'immortal,' so why do you need to pray?

"Can it be successful?" Mash was clearly hopeful, after all, no one in Chaldea had been able to successfully summon Servant.

It's not that the summoning system is malfunctioning, but rather that the Chaldea summoning system is rather strange.

He replicated the Servant summoning system from the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, but the first director felt that this summoning system was too convenient and could easily summon some strange things, leading to the destruction of Chaldea.

Therefore, the current Chaldea Servant ritual relies on 'fate' to summon Servants. A bond is formed within Singularity, and then the Servant is summoned.

"Mash, come here." After finishing her Akuta Hiyori waved to Mash.

"Yes!"

Mash jogged over. She knew why Akuta Hiyori had called her, so she immediately took out her shield and placed it on the ground where she was about to summon a Servant.

"Thank you for your trouble." Akuta Hiyori's expression softened considerably, indicating that she had a particularly good impression of Mash.

"Um..." Although Mash thought that Akuta Hiyori should be able to summon Servant, she still reminded her, "Akuta Hiyori, although you have summoned many Servant, the Director has also experimented and hopes to summon a powerful Servant to be in charge of Chaldea's security work."

"But after summoning more than ten times, I didn't summon anything except for wasting a lot of magic power."

After Mash said that, Akuta Hiyori frowned, as if she had thought of something unpleasant. Then she said in a somewhat cold tone, "I understand. You can step aside for now."

"Yes." Mash didn't waste any words. She quickly ran to the side and waited for Akuta Hiyori's performance.

"Call."

Akuta Hiyori took a deep breath. She knew what Mash was talking about, but she still held onto a sliver of hope that she might be able to summon her.

"Announce!"

Akuta Hiyori recited her lines, which she had memorized perfectly, with a calm expression, as if it were nothing serious.

At the center of the ceremony, a solid surge of magical energy erupted from the ground, concentrating on Mash's shield. True Magic circles appeared out of thin air, floating in mid-air.

A blinding light shone into the room.

"It's started." Mikaela was naturally very familiar with this. After all, he had been Master and knew what this phenomenon meant.

"Huh?! Something's not right." Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to nod, but then she seemed to realize something and quickly said, "Why hasn't the 'light' appeared yet?"

"Radiance?" Mikaela, somewhat confused.

"That's right. Based on the experiences of the senior and the director, there is a prerequisite for successfully summoning Servant." Mash pushed up her glasses and said in a very serious tone, "If you want to successfully summon Servant, then some 'light' must appear."

"The blue magical light doesn't count, of course. When you were summoning, white, gold, and rainbow lights appeared."

At this point, Mash scratched her head and said helplessly, "Of course, this is just the experience of the director and seniors. Maybe Akuta Hiyori will create a miracle."

As soon as Mash finished speaking, the magical light in the center shattered instantly, the True Magic circles floating in the air disappeared, and the concentration of magic around them increased.

The summoning ritual for the Servant failed.

This is obvious to the naked eye.

"..." Akuta Hiyori clenched her fists. She didn't say anything more, but silently took back the Holy Relic and turned to leave the room.

"As expected, another failure." Mash watched Akuta Hiyori figure without trying to persuade her to stay and watch Fujimaru Ritsuka summon her Servant.

The other person failed to summon a Servant, but you then made them stay and watch as they successfully summoned Servant.

Isn't this going to offend people?!

Although Mash knew that a quiet girl like Akuta Hiyori, who had a good personality and wasn't easily angered, wouldn't care about these things.

But she still didn't call out to the other person, letting Akuta Hiyori leave.

"Sigh." Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed, her face full of disappointment, clearly feeling sorry for Akuta Hiyori.

"Are there any conditions?" Mikaela watched Akuta Hiyori leave in disappointment and couldn't help but wonder, were the conditions for summoning Servant in Chaldea really that complicated?

Or is Fujimaru Ritsuka the Schicksal one, which is why she can summon Servant at will?

"It's not that there are any conditions." Seeing Mikaela's curiosity, Mash slowly explained, "As far back as I can remember, Chaldea has been conducting experiments to summon 'specific' Servant, but nine out of ten of those experiments have failed."

'Yes... because those Servant simply don't care about the first Chaldea.' Mikaela was aware of this situation; the only successful examples of Chaldea were Da Vinci and Mash.

After learning about the situation at Chaldea, the former wanted to leave immediately, but he stayed because Doctor Roman stayed, and the latter stayed to protect Mash's life.

There are only three successful examples of Chaldea, not to mention the failures.

"I think the reason we were able to successfully summon Servant is because you formed a bond with Servant," Mash said seriously. She held up one finger and said very earnestly, "For example, Nero, who is currently going to other worlds to collect resources, was summoned. Although she didn't have any memories of the Second Singularity, she was very friendly to us."

"According to her, my senior and I are like her children, and she can't help but want to protect us."

When Mash said that, Mikaela couldn't help but think of King Hassan, Karna, Abigail, Meltryllis, and others, even though she had never helped them.

But they seemed to treat me very intimately as well.

Could it be that they also see themselves as children?

"Therefore, according to the director's discussion with Da Vinci and Doctor Roman, the reason why the senior is now able to summon Servant is because he formed a bond with those Servant in the Singularity."

At this point, Mash looked at Mikaela with some embarrassment and said, "Back in Fuyuki City, at that Singularity, it was with your help that I 'unexpectedly' formed bonds with a whole bunch of Servant."

"I see. So... we have to go to the Singularity to obtain 'Fate'?"

Mikaela roughly understood that the reason why Akuta Hiyori had not been successfully summoned was probably because she had not gone to fight in the Singularity.

Although the reason is somewhat bizarre, it is probably the truth.

Chapter 503 Ella: I'll only summon once

Unlike Akuta Hiyori, whose summoning attempt failed, Fujimaru Ritsuka summoned many familiar Servant.

For example, Arash, Hassan of the Arm, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Hassan of Serenity, Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang, Taro Urashima, Bedivere, Gawain, Lancelot, Nitocris Tristan, and a series of Servant.

"Hmph, hahahahaha, just as I expected."

The last Servant to be successfully summoned let out a familiar laugh as soon as he appeared. He strode out, looked at the row of Servant standing there, glanced at Arash first, and then fixed his gaze on Mikaela, saying loudly, "Maid, the final battle was really unsatisfying."

Indeed, Ramesses II has arrived. This being, whose arrival seems impossible by any standard, has now descended upon Chaldea.

"But didn't you enjoy watching it?" Mikaela countered, not showing much surprise at Ramesses II's continued possession of memories from the Singularity.

After all, for Servant of his caliber, remembering these things would be incredibly easy.

"Hahaha, although the battle wasn't very intense, it was still a rare sight." Ramesses II glanced deeply at Bedivere, who was talking to Tristan not far away.

Regardless of the king, they all held a great deal of goodwill toward Bedivere.

Unfortunately, such talent already belonged to King Arthur.

"This is the king's triumph! Rejoice! He is a king who transcends all Heroic Spirit, transcends time and space, and knows the past and the future. At this moment, he descends upon Chaldea to guide us toward the path of glory. His true name is: Ozymandias."

Nitocris, seeing Ramesses II arrive, excitedly recited a line of dialogue.

"Hahaha, very good! Nitocris!" Ramesses II immediately abandoned Mikaela and came to Nitocris's side with great joy. He said with a smile, "Perfect, let's see what kind of existence this Chaldea has."

After saying this, Ramesses II and Nitocris left the room.

"Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka, let's explore Chaldea and see what our new living area is like," Hassan of the Arm said earnestly.

"This is necessary reconnaissance. If anything happens to Chaldea, we will escort Fujimaru Ritsuka away from here immediately."

Hassan of the Hundred Faces also said very seriously that they naturally also retained the memories of the Sixth Singularity and knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mikaela had a very good relationship.

Mikaela herself is incredibly powerful, second only to the First Generation Master in the eyes of Hassan and his followers, so there's no need to worry about her safety.

The problem is that Fujimaru Ritsuka is Mikaela's weakness. Wasn't the last time she fought to the death with that so-called 'King of Magic' because of Fujimaru Ritsuka?

"Okay." Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally agreed to Hassan's request.

"Senior, we can begin the next round of summoning now." Mash spoke up at this moment, her magic power fully charged and ready for the next summoning.

"Oh oh oh oh."

Fujimaru Ritsuka understood, and she immediately walked to the summoning circle and recited the summoning incantation she knew very well.

"Bang!!!"

However, this time, things didn't go as smoothly as before. Just like with Akuta Hiyori, the magic power that was originally used to summon Servant 'exploded' at this moment.

"It seems this is the limit." Fujimaru Ritsuka was clearly helpless when she saw this. She sighed and said, "I was hoping to summon Holmes and The Lion King. One represents wisdom, and the other represents great strength."

"..." Upon seeing this scene, the Knights of the Round Table suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. After all, if the Lion King had been summoned, they might not have known what to do.

"Ah, how sad." Tristan spoke slowly, though he said he was sad, his expression honestly revealed a 'smile'.

"~~~"
