Shiki Ryougi's Curiosity / Fake Lovers ...

"Then I'll be going." Mikaela stood up, gave Brynhildr and Valkyrie a deep look, something flickering in his eyes, and then took out a swimsuit from the card, which belonged to Ryougi Shiki.

Chapter 525 Ryougi Shiki's Curiosity

After saying goodbye to Brynhildr and Valkyrie, Mikaela only had three swimsuits left. Besides the Emiya family and Karna, he only had Asagami Fujino, Ryougi Shiki, and Cú Chulainn's swimsuits.

"Kindness?"

As Mikaela was walking down the street, she saw Red A, who was strolling leisurely down the corridor.

This surprised Mikaela; how could the other person be sitting here so leisurely?!

However, it wasn't just Mikaela who was surprised; Red A was also very surprised to see Mikaela so leisurely sitting in the corridor.

Just like when Jeanne d'Arc saw Mikaela, Red A thought that she should stay in her room and wait for lunch, since lunch time in Chaldea was uniformly at 12:30.

It's not even midnight yet. Mikaela should be in her room, or in the Shopkeeper's Daughter's room. How could she be here?

"You weren't in the kitchen?" Mikaela said first, looking somewhat surprised. "To be honest, I always thought you were a permanent fixture in the kitchen."

"Pah! I'm not a professional chef. There are just not many people cooking in Chaldea right now, so I'm just doing it part-time." At this moment, Red A didn't even think about why Mikaela was out there.

Because there's no need to think about it so much now.

The other person has come out, so why should I meddle in their business?

"Perfect, since you're here, I don't need to deliver this swimsuit." Mikaela took out a card, reached inside, and pulled out a plastic bag with Cú Chulainn's name on it.

The plastic bag naturally contained Cú Chulainn's swimsuit, which was more of a casual outfit—a typical beach three-piece set consisting of shorts, a jacket, and swim trunks.

"Huh?! Why do I have to deliver it?!" Red A was shocked. He had originally thought that the swimsuit he was asked to deliver was a swimsuit belonging to his family.

For example, Illya! And so on!

But Mikaela actually pulled out Cú Chulainn's swimsuit! Just kidding, strictly speaking, she and that guy weren't on very good terms!

The two sides often got into fights over the slightest disagreement. Although Red A lost more often than he won, even after becoming Caster, his methods still leaned towards close combat.

What's even more infuriating is that even Caster himself can't beat him!!!

"Aozaki Touko and Da Vinci are working hard to finish the swimsuits. Could you go and give the Cú Chulainn swimsuit to her? I need to send out the remaining two swimsuits."

Although she hadn't yet arrived at Asagami Fujino Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino's room, Mikaela had already guessed that it would take a long time for her to get there.

"... Fine." Seeing that Mikaela had said so, Red A had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

If it were anyone else, even Master, Red A would offer a token resistance, indicating that he wouldn't make contact with that guy.

However, Mikaela is different. Red A already owes her a huge favor, which is not owed by him, but by Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel.

Mikaela helped them so much; during the two times they needed help the most in their lives, Mikaela led them through it all.

So now Red A was too lazy to say anything more. After taking Cú Chulainn's swimsuit, he calmly said, "Just hand it over to that guy, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your help." Mikaela nodded and said earnestly, "I've gone to deliver the last two swimsuits. You might receive your swimsuit tomorrow."

"Heh~" Red A revealed a subtle expression. He really wanted to ask when Illya's swimsuit would be ready, but he didn't say it. Instead, he took Cú Chulainn's swimsuit and strode in that direction.

After the brief encounter with Red A, Mikaela arrived at Ryougi Shiki's room, this time knocking on the door first.

Ryougi Shiki asked lazily, "Who?"

Mikaela calmly replied, "Me."

Ryougi Shiki seemed somewhat surprised and said, "Oh~ come in."

Mikaela sighed, for some reason, he seemed to have guessed what was going to happen next, and said, "Then I'll go in."

Upon entering, Ryougi Shiki was indeed wearing a white shirt, just like last time, with only a pair of underwear underneath, without any shorts or anything like that.

Compared to last time, Ryougi Shiki seems to have skipped even wearing underwear this time. As soon as Mikaela entered, she could clearly see that Ryougi Shiki's chest was completely bare, with her white shirt barely covering it.

"What a surprise, you actually came to find me on your own initiative." Ryougi Shiki didn't find anything strange about her outfit, and she was eating ice cream at the moment.

Compared to the last strawberry ice cream, this one looks like chocolate.

"Couldn't you at least cover up a little?" Mikaela covered her face with one hand. They weren't that close yet, were they?! Couldn't Ryougi Shiki at least conceal her figure a little?

"What are you hiding? Is my swimsuit ready?"

Ryougi Shiki sat on the bed eating ice cream, seemingly already guessing what Mikaela's purpose was in coming.

After all, it wasn't hard to guess. All the Servant in Chaldea knew that Mikaela was someone who wouldn't come to their room without a reason. The fact that she took the initiative to come out of her room meant that she had something to do.

When she takes the initiative to approach someone, it means she needs to ask that person for a favor.

Ryougi Shiki felt that Mikaela wouldn't ask her for anything on her own initiative. After thinking it over, it seemed that only the recent beach matter was worth her coming over.

"Here you go." Mikaela rolled his eyes at Ryougi Shiki and tossed her the swimsuit. Ryougi Shiki's swimsuit was very ordinary; it looked like a common bikini.

The only difference was that the other person's swimsuit had an extra layer of something resembling a jacket.

"Oh~ that was fast." Ryougi Shiki casually opened the plastic bag, took out the swimsuit, glanced at it briefly, and said to Mikaela, "How's the swimsuit that Touko made for you?"

"It's alright, it wasn't quite right for me, so I made some minor adjustments."

At that moment, Mikaela recalled the embarrassing scene of herself wearing a swimsuit earlier and couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you have any photos?" Ryougi Shiki never hid what she was going to do. She looked at Mikaela openly and said, "I want to see your swimsuit."

"In exchange for something in return, I'll wear it for you too."

"??????" Mikaela silently took two steps back, looking at Ryougi Shiki, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm just curious about you in your female form." Ryougi Shiki sat up straight, put the ice cream aside, and looked at Mikaela calmly, saying, "I'm thinking about whether you, as a woman, are very different from you, as a man."

"Just like me."

Chapter 526 Fake Couple

Mikaela roughly understood why Ryougi Shiki was so concerned about herself in her female form.

The reason is simple: Ryougi Shiki once had a personality called 'Ori,' which was her male personality.

The reason why Ryougi Shiki's personality is now more masculine is also because it is a conscious reminder to someone not to forget the meaning of weaving.

"Curious?" Mikaela raised an eyebrow and looked at Ryougi Shiki, saying, "While I don't mind becoming a woman, you don't need to wear a swimsuit for me."

"No swimsuit photos?" Ryougi Shiki was clearly a little disappointed, but she calmly said, "But it's okay if you don't have swimsuit photos, let me see."

The same words spoken by different people can evoke completely different feelings.

When Aozaki Touko said, "Let me see," Mikaela always felt that the other person had ill intentions.

When Ryougi Shiki said those words, Mikaela felt that the other person simply wanted to see her female form and personality.

"I don't have swimsuit photos, but I can wear a swimsuit." Mikaela crushed a card, and a cup of Fountain of Youth appeared in his hand. Without saying a word, he poured it over his head.

"Kindness?"

Ryougi Shiki was puzzled and did not understand what Mikaela meant.

"Click".

With a crisp sound of a card shattering, Mikaela's maid outfit disappeared, replaced by a blue swimsuit.

"..."

Ryougi Shiki fell silent for a moment. She looked at Mikaela's chest and her softer face and said speechlessly, "You have a great figure, much better than that old hag Touko."

"Touko can freely modify their own bodies."

Mikaela sat on the Ryougi Shiki bed, supporting her breasts, and said helplessly, "Besides, I don't like this thing."

"It's too heavy, isn't it?" Ryougi Shiki smiled and took out a breast wrap from somewhere, saying to Mikaela, "I also hate these two lumps of fat, so I often use this during battles."

"I can turn back." Mikaela glanced at the breast wrap in Ryougi Shiki's hand, rolled his eyes, and indicated that he didn't need it.

After all, he can turn back into a man, and in his male form, he doesn't have the burden of having chests.

"What a convenient ability." A hint of envy flashed in Ryougi Shiki's eyes. She casually took off her clothes and changed into a swimsuit on the spot.

She didn't seem to care whether Mikaela was there or not.

"By the way, why choose a school swimsuit?" Mikaela shifted her gaze elsewhere. Ryougi Shiki might not care, but she couldn't do that.

Unless her 'true form' becomes female, Mikaela feels she should keep a low profile and not assume that just because she looks like a woman, she really is a woman.

"Convenient, great activity. If anything unexpected happens, I can immediately switch to battle mode instead of changing clothes."

Ryougi Shiki said calmly, quickly changing her clothes, and looked at Mikaela, "How do you feel?"

"I never would have guessed you had such a great figure on a normal day."

Mikaela spoke her mind very honestly. Ryougi Shiki usually dressed conservatively, and you couldn't tell she had any curves at all.

After putting on the school swimsuit, also known as a school swimsuit, her figure was completely highlighted, making her look very feminine.

"Thank you for the compliment, but your personality doesn't seem to have changed much." Ryougi Shiki picked up the custom-made coat next to her and put it on. She said calmly, "Indeed, although you are very similar to me, there are still some differences."

"Do I not have a split personality? Have I disappointed you?" Mikaela chuckled, naturally she wouldn't change.

She doesn't care whether she's feminine or masculine; it's basically just a change of appearance.

This is similar to some races in novels whose genders are not yet determined; they can become women if they like men, and men if they like women, and are genderless in their daily lives.

However, Mikaela's original form was male, but as she grew up, she became a woman in appearance, which she found quite frustrating.

If she were to choose her future wife, her requirements would be very simple.

As pretty as myself, that's fine!

If someone isn't as pretty as me, then I'd better pass.

"A little disappointed, but it's alright." Ryougi Shiki -eaten ice cream next to her and continued, "How many swimsuits do you still have to deliver to?"

Mikaela didn't mention that she had become a delivery person, but Ryougi Shiki seemed to have already guessed it.

"It Asagami Fujino. To be honest, I'm having a bit of a headache." Mikaela sighed and looked at Ryougi Shiki. "I know what she's thinking, but I really can't respond to her right now."

"What if I absolutely have to respond?"

Ryougi Shiki, sipping ice cream, sat on the bed and looked at Mikaela beside her, asking, "What would you say?"

"I don't know. I'm not good at refusing people, but if I were really forced to answer," Mikaela said rather coldly, lying on the Ryougi Shiki bed, "I would most likely refuse her."

"After all, the goal is very important."

Ryougi Shiki knew that Mikaela's ultimate goal was to go home. She paused slightly and said calmly, "But she has already become Heroic Spirit now. You also have time to rest. How about having a 'pseudo-love'?"

"Don't want."

Mikaela flatly refused, saying seriously, "I don't like fake 'relationships'."

Although Mikaela had never experienced true love, she knew that love was definitely not something to be taken lightly.

"It's just a game," Ryougi Shiki said calmly. "And both you and she need to experience what it's like to be in love."

"She has been waiting for a long time. This feeling is like her Mystic Eyes, suppressed for far too long. If she doesn't release it, I don't know what the consequences will be."

Mikaela remained silent. Knowing Asagami Fujino's personality, she could only sigh helplessly and say to Ryougi Shiki, "I understand. Come with me. I'm not good at saying these things."

Ryougi Shiki smiled like a checkmark, and casually took off her swimsuit. Blue light shone from her body, revealing her usual clothes.

"Let's go, I'll explain this, you're in charge of delivering the swimsuits, then you'll be 'fake lovers'."

Ryougi Shiki's voice revealed a hint of eagerness, as if she had long wanted to see this scene.

Mikaela fell into deep thought, wondering if she had been tricked by Ryougi Shiki Aozaki Touko.

Aozaki Touko first relaxed herself by participating in some beach activities.

Later, Ryougi Shiki tricked her into becoming a fake lover with Asagami Fujino.

Chapter 527 Jealousy of the Shopkeeper's Daughter

Arriving at the door of Asagami Fujino's room.

Mikaela looked at Ryougi Shiki standing beside him and felt like he had been tricked, but he had no proof.

However, he could ask Number Two, 'Ella,' for help, to use her Clairvoyance to see if he had been tricked.

Number Two, 'Ella,' is very strong. Even in her clone mode, she wouldn't lose to Goetia in a one-on-one fight. If her true form were watching, she would definitely be able to see immediately whether she had been tricked.
