Becoming a Deliveryman / Delivery Mikaela
"Did Da Vinci say anything?" Aozaki Touko asked with a smile.
Mikaela shut up now, after all, judging from Da Vinci's expression, he seemed to be planning to personally drain Doctor Roman.
"Don't worry about whether you're male or female." Aozaki Touko stubbed out her cigarette, walked to Mikaela's side, and looked at her with a light smile. "Just know what you're going to do next. Anyway, men and women are pretty much the same. We're all striving for our own goals."
"You're in a similar situation now, except you need to take a short break before embarking on a new adventure. By then, I'm afraid I won't be by your side anymore."
Mikaela listened quietly to what Aozaki Touko had to say, then went into the bathroom, looked at herself in the mirror, and said calmly, "It's good to rest for a while; at least it has made my thoughts much clearer."
"Do me a favor." Mikaela looked at Aozaki Touko calmly and said, "Help me tie my hair into pigtails."
Okay.
Aozaki Touko walked towards the bathroom. When she reached Mikaela's side, she skillfully parted Mikaela's long, black and white hair, which smelled of shampoo. She picked up a hairband and put it on Mikaela.
A white bow headband was tied on one side of her black hair, and a black bow headband was tied on the other side of her white hair.
"Perfect."
Looking at Mikaela in the mirror, Aozaki Touko nodded as if she were looking at a perfect work of art.
"Hmm." Mikaela didn't say anything more, she just looked at herself in the mirror.
Now, all we need to do is wait for Da Vinci to finish making the swimsuits for everyone else, and then the beach activities can begin.
Chapter 523 Working as a Courier
Time passed by, and in the days following the completion of Mikaela's swimsuit, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were attacked by a Servant and by some sea pirates.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, and Akuta Hiyori have now successfully found a place where they can set up a summoning circle.
Everything is moving in a positive direction. Incidentally, even with Mikaela's reminder, Olga Marie doesn't seem to have noticed Akuta Hiyori's terrible command ability at this moment.
But putting that situation aside for now, something quite interesting happened at Chaldea.
While Da Vinci was preparing to help the Servant make swimsuits, the Queen of Sheba was also making a name for herself in Chaldea. The Magecraft gadgets she made were highly praised by the Chaldea staff.
These Magecraft tricks have effects such as helping you fall asleep quickly, calming your nerves, and improving your mood.
Of course, it wasn't that these Magecraft props were particularly convenient, but rather that the Queen of Sheba gave them to the Chaldea Magecraft 'for free'.
"This guy is absolutely insane!!!"
Inside Da Vinci's Magic Workshop, Da Vinci, who was making swimsuits for the Servant, suddenly burst into a rare outburst of curses. "How dare they give things away for free?! And those guys actually accepted them!"
"Don't those guys know that free things are often the most expensive?!"
Da Vinci could understand the Queen of Sheba's "goodwill" gesture, since she also wanted to open a shop.
Since we're going to open a shop, we have to consider the future. At this moment, the only shop in Chaldea is the small shop opened by Da Vinci.
The Queen of Sheba's Wonder Shop is about to be completed, and for them to send a free gift at this time is simply malicious!
The thought of that dark-skinned, beast-eared fellow who wanted both Romani and his clients made Da Vinci want to rush over and fight him.
Of course, Da Vinci felt he might not be able to beat that girl, but why think so much at this point?! Just go for it!
"Don't be so angry. You two are going to fight sooner or later anyway. Why don't you get those Servant swimsuits ready first, and then you can work on getting your 'body' done and steal her man away."
Aozaki Touko said with a smile, while Da Vinci held her breath and remained silent. She was currently working hard to finish the swimsuits for the Servant, and she would officially launch her attack after that.
To be honest, if an ordinary Servant wanted to steal Da Vinci's business, Da Vinci might not have been so angry. They might have just "made a profit peacefully," meaning that if you profited, I wouldn't lose either.
The Queen of Sheba, however, immediately gave Da Vinci a hard time, then abducted Doctor Roman and exploited him for an entire night.
In the following days, the other party applied to Olga Marie for a Magic Workshop and also offered to join the team building a large Mana Furnace.
Upon hearing the Queen of Sheba's real name, Olga Marie immediately recalled her life and approved the construction of her Magic Workshop without hesitation. She even allowed the Queen to use Chaldea's resources to expand her Magic Workshop.
Of course, the price was that the other party had to build the large Mana Furnace as quickly as possible.
A large Mana Furnace is enough to allow many Servant to exert their full strength. Even ten Servant Ramesses II's caliber could not drain the Mana Furnace in a short time.
The Holy Grail's magic power is irreversible, while the Great Mana Furnace can quickly restore magic power, making it a sustainable solution.
This is why Olga Marie opened so many back doors for the Queen of Sheba, hoping that the Queen could complete the large Mana Furnace as soon as possible.
The other party smiled and nodded, indicating that he would definitely be able to make the large Mana Furnace in a short period of time.
"Touko, come and lend a hand, there are only a few sets left." Da Vinci got angrier and angrier, feeling that the arrival of the Queen of Sheba had stolen all her presence.
Moreover, these swimsuits are getting more and more troublesome to make. I should have known better than to be greedy for small gains and take on so many orders.
Although she earned a lot of Magecraft materials in one go, these swimsuits have already put her far behind before she has even officially clashed with the Queen of Sheba. It was a huge miscalculation.
Okay.
Under normal circumstances, Aozaki Touko would definitely not help Da Vinci, since their relationship was merely based on 'interests', and she had no reason to help him.
Even if we work ourselves to the bone, we probably won't get any benefit from the other party.
But now the situation is different. Aozaki Touko can't wait to see Da Vinci and the Queen of Sheba fight each other. She doesn't mind reducing Da Vinci's workload and letting him have a big battle with the Queen of Sheba.
At this moment, standing to the side Mikaela said expressionlessly, "So, why did you two call me over here?"
"Be a deliveryman." Aozaki Touko chuckled and pointed to the swimsuit next to her, looking at Mikaela. "We're both very busy people. After thinking about it, it's better if you do the delivery."
"Do me a favor, I owe you one!" Da Vinci was already swamped with work. She had originally planned to deliver it herself and ask the other party for a good review.
But she doesn't have that time now, so she can only bring in Mikaela, who is almost a 'couch potato', to be her delivery person.
"Why are you calling me?" Mikaela asked helplessly. There are plenty of idle people in Chaldea these days, so why call him of all people?
"That's because you know those guys, while the others aren't very familiar with those Servant," Aozaki Touko said seriously. "Besides, you're the main character of the event, so naturally you should personally deliver the swimsuits."
"The most important thing is, do you have anything to do now? Although I said I'd let you rest, resting doesn't mean locking yourself in your room and being all lovey-dovey with the Shopkeeper's Daughter. It means letting you see how everyone entertains themselves on a daily basis."
"Fine." Mikaela sighed helplessly. He didn't say anything more. He'd just have to be a deliveryman. It was getting really salty in Chaldea lately.
After all, he neither plays games nor watches movies or TV shows. In the past few days, apart from chatting with the Shopkeeper's Daughter, he hasn't done anything else.
If I had to name an activity, it would probably be watching Fujimaru Ritsuka travel at sea and encounter some strange and unusual events.
As Mikaela was about to leave with her swimsuit.
Da Vinci said, "The Emiya family's swimsuits aren't finished yet, and neither is Karna's. The others are already finished, and their names are written on them."
"Oh."
Mikaela made a note of it. He first took out a swimsuit with the words "Jeanne d'Arc" written on the plastic packaging. He put the other swimsuits into the storage card and slowly walked out.
The first target to send a swimsuit to is Jeanne d'Arc!
Chapter 524 Express Delivery Ella
Mikaela quickly found Jeanne d'Arc, who appeared to be standing with a serious-looking middle-aged man, discussing something.
"Jeanne d'Arc, I feel that the Magecraft materials we have prepared are still somewhat insufficient." The middle-aged man, dressed in armor and with a rather serious expression, looked at Jeanne d'Arc very earnestly and said, "When shall we carry out the next mission to collect Magecraft materials?"
"Gil, you don't have to be so serious. This is a time for us to relax." Jeanne d'Arc looked at the rather serious-looking middle-aged man, sighed, and said slowly, "In Chaldea, it's not just us who are collecting Magecraft materials to build a large Mana Furnace. Both you and I can relax a bit."
"Alright, if it is your will." The serious-looking middle-aged man's expression softened after hearing Jeanne d'Arc's reply. He said casually, "Then, shall we go get a cup of coffee? It's almost noon now, but it won't hurt to have a little something to drink."
"Of course... Eh? Why did you come out?"
Jeanne d'Arc was about to agree to the middle-aged man's request, but she soon saw Mikaela walking towards her, which surprised Jeanne d'Arc greatly.
The reason is simple: everyone in Chaldea knows that Mikaela is someone who prefers to stay in her room, and she will never come out unless there is something particularly important.
"Who are you?!" Standing beside Jeanne d'Arc, the middle-aged man in armor with a rather serious expression lit up as soon as he saw Mikaela, as if he had seen some treasure.
"Is this our first meeting? Gilles de Rae, oh." Mikaela looked at the middle-aged man and calmly uttered his real name.
That's right, the person standing next to Jeanne d'Arc is Gilles de Rais from the Fourth Holy Grail War.
However, the other party shows no signs of madness now and looks perfectly normal, after all, this is how the other party looked before falling into darkness.
Calm and composed, he is a very qualified commander.
"Yes, nice to meet you." Gilles de Rais looked at Mikaela, his voice involuntarily lowering.
Although this was their first meeting, for some reason, Gilles de Rais felt that Mikaela was some kind of noble person, even though she was wearing a maid outfit at the moment.
Gilles de Rais inexplicably felt that the other party was a very distinguished and important person.
"Your swimsuit." Mikaela didn't waste any words. He casually tossed the swimsuit Jeanne d'Arc had ordered to the other person and said calmly, "I'm going back to being a deliveryman. You two can continue."
"Won't you go for a coffee together?" Jeanne d'Arc urged.
"No need, no need, I'm quite busy, I'll be going now." Mikaela didn't turn around. He casually took out a swimsuit from the card, with Brynhildr's name written on it.
"Sure enough, whenever he comes out, he always finds something to do." Jeanne d'Arc looked at the swimsuit in her hand and couldn't help but sigh.
She said it! Why did Mikaela come out of her room? Turns out she became a deliveryman.
"Oh! Jeanne d'Arc!"
At this moment, Gilles de Rais's eyes shone like light bulbs. He looked at the swimsuit in Jeanne d'Arc's hand and said in a very fervent tone, "Please let me follow you to another battlefield!"
Jeanne d'Arc of Arc gave a warm, healing smile and readily refused, saying, "No."
"Oh no!"
Gilles de Rais felt as if he had been pierced by a thousand arrows, and he staggered back several steps, as if he had suffered a tremendous blow.
"Huh? My swimsuit? Thanks~"
Upon arriving at Brynhildr's room, Mikaela handed her her swimsuit.
Brynhildr thanked her and accepted the swimsuit.
She invited Mikaela to her room to rest for a while.
"Is Valkyrie here?" Mikaela didn't intend to stay too long, but Brynhildr had already started pouring tea, so he felt awkward leaving immediately.
"She'll be here soon and invites me to lunch." Brynhildr smiled gently, just like when she first met her; she was a kind person in both body and mind.
She shouldn't be Valkyrie at all; she's better suited to be a housewife.
"Then I'll wait a little while."
Mikaela checked the time and found that there were still a few minutes until noon. He also planned to stay in Brynhildr's room for a while.
"Are you making a Sigurd doll?" Mikaela noticed a handmade doll on Brynhildr's table, though it was not yet finished.
Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was Sigurd.
"Yes, that's right. That child gets angry when she sees this doll." Brynhildr brewed the tea, poured it into a cup, and handed it to Mikaela.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Mikaela took the tea, silently drank a mouthful of the scalding hot tea, looked at the Sigurd doll on the table, and said calmly, "He's a good man."
Although she had only spent some time with Sigurd, Mikaela could clearly sense that he truly Brynhildr.
Unfortunately, the other person was toyed with by fate in life, and even now as Heroic Spirit, if the two meet again... Brynhildr will involuntarily raise her weapon and pierce Sigurd's body!
"Hmm...I know." Brynhildr looked rather sad as she sat down in her chair. The Valkyrie picked up a needle and thread and began the rather long process of making Sigurd doll.
"..."
Mikaela remained silent, sitting on the soft bed and watching Brynhildr in silence. He didn't ask why Brunhilde didn't use the Primal Runes to create the doll if she wanted to make one.
After all, sometimes people will have their own principles to uphold.
"Big Sister!"
With a crisp sound, Valkyrie rushed in excitedly. Just as Brynhildr had said, he would come to have lunch with Brynhildr every day at noon.
When Valkyrie saw Mikaela, she immediately calmed down and asked, "Are you getting ready to leave?"
"No, I'm just here to be a deliveryman." Mikaela shook his head and threw out the Valkyrie swimsuit from the card.
"Is your swimsuit finished, Big Sister?"
When Valkyrie saw that her swimsuit was finished, her first thought was whether Brynhildr's swimsuit was finished too.
"Okay, it's done~ Want to try it on together?" Seeing Valkyrie arrive, Brynhildr put down her needlework and patted Valkyrie's little head.
"Okay, okay!!"
The usually calm and collected Valkyrie was now nodding frantically, her fair face flushed, as if she was eagerly anticipating what was to come.
