Getting Ready / Touko's Warning

Mikaela pulled the towel off Irisviel's body.

Her almost perfect figure was exposed to the air.

"However, women can also Replenish Magic!" Mikaela crushed the card, took out the Fountain of Youth and poured it on herself. In that instant... her appearance changed.

"Huh?" Irisviel stared blankly at Mikaela, who had suddenly changed her gender.

"Well then, let's begin. At least a woman's body can make up for my inner discomfort." Mikaela lay on the bed, indicating that Irisviel could do whatever she wanted with her.

P. S.: "Then, I made the changes~"

Chapter 156 In Preparation

"..."

Mikaela and Emiya Kiritsugu are having breakfast.

The two remained silent, seemingly unsure of what to say, until finally... Mikaela spoke.

"I think it's better for you to go and Replenish Magic Irisviel's mana. I'm not planning to summon Servant. I'll become your Servant again."

Although she had transformed into a woman, Mikaela was clearly not used to being touched by others, and after thinking it over, she decided to Emiya Kiritsugu take care of it.

Last night, Irisviel played with Mikaela's body like a child who had discovered a new toy.

"!!!!" Emiya Kiritsugu trembled. He silently lit a cigarette and said in a calm tone, "Let's just leave it at that. I think it's fine as it is."

"Are you scared?!" Mikaela sneered.

"I'm scared, aren't you scared too?" Emiya Kiritsugu retorted sarcastically.

"..."

The two fell silent, unsure what to say, because Mikaela was also scared; who knew what 'she' had gone through last night!

"However, thanks to you, I managed to stay at my peak and gather some information." Emiya Kiritsugu didn't intend to dwell on the topic any longer. He had just opened his door that morning to find the 'feminine' Mikaela hurriedly fleeing.

Emiya Kiritsugu knew that his lovely wife seemed to be up to her old tricks again.

If this topic continues, who knows if Mikaela will get angry and tie up Emiya Kiritsugu, force-feed him the little blue pill, and make him work hard in the fields!

"Weren't you in your room the whole night?" Mikaela asked, puzzled. Her magical senses had clearly 'seen' that Emiya Kiritsugu had stayed in his room the entire night and hadn't gone out.

"I have a phone."

Emiya Kiritsugu took out his phone and placed it on the table, saying calmly, "According to reliable intelligence, the two from the Clock Tower seem to have already summoned Servant and are waiting for the Holy Grail War to officially begin."

"Once the last one is summoned, the Holy Grail War will officially begin. Although this process can be delayed indefinitely, as you know, the current situation is a huge advantage for us."

Mikaela nodded slightly, but said calmly, "However, no matter how well prepared we are, Darnic Preston Yugdomilenia, who is known as the 'Grand,' has his own Magic Workshop and local spiritual veins. The Servant he summons will definitely be the most well-known in Romania."

Perhaps due to guilt, or for some other reason, Mikaela revealed some details about Darnic's actions.

Although the timeline has changed, some things remain the same. In Romania, the Guardian Demon General, who has a home advantage, is an extremely powerful being.

"He is the final obstacle." Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette, his eyes filled with unimaginable solemnity.

The enemy is fighting on their home turf, while we are like 'invaders'. If the Holy Grail has enough mana, Emiya Kiritsugu might consider summoning a very powerful Servant.

Give him a show of what a simple and brutal plan to plunder the Holy Grail looks like!

They can directly team up with Mikaela's Servant, rush to his doorstep, have two Servant hold off the opposing Servant, and then Mikaela can forcibly seize the Holy Grail or extract the core of the Winter Saintess.

That concludes everything!

However, even though Mikaela and Irisviel Replenish Magic until dawn, this level of Replenish Magic only increased their mana by one level. Even if they summoned top-tier Servant to fight, the mana consumption would still be at a very low level.

"Today, let's summon Servant first. I want to see what kind of being I summon." Mikaela picked up a sandwich and took a bite. She said calmly, "If he has a strong desire for the Holy Grail, then I don't mind killing him (her)."

"Oh, right." At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu realized something and looked at Mikaela with some doubt, "If it's Normal Spirit Core, why don't you just summon a Servant yourself and then steal their Spirit Origin?"

"Why are you asking me for information and so eager to participate in this Holy Grail War?"

"Spirit Origin are also graded." When Mikaela saw Emiya Kiritsugu asking her a question, she calmly replied, "It's true that I need Spirit Origin right now, but I can't just find Normal Spirit Core to heal my injuries."

"Spirit Origin vary in strength. The strongest are King Class Spirit Core, and the weakest are Normal Spirit Core. In general, most Servant in the Holy Grail War have Normal Spirit Core, but there are always exceptions. For example, in this Holy Grail War, a god was demoted to become Servant, and her own Spirit Origin became a 'Divine Spirit Core'."

"Compared to Normal Spirit Core, Divine Spirit Core are obviously more powerful. Since both are for healing injuries, why don't I find a better Spirit Origin to heal myself?"

Mikaela's words made Kiritsugu Emiya Kiritsugu in approval. As expected of him, what seemed like an ordinary step was probably something he had thought about for a long time before deciding to take.

Although the chances of that kind of Spirit Origin appearing are very small, it's not impossible. That's why Mikaela took the initiative to call and ask for information because of this possibility.

"King Class Spirit Core is impossible, Normal Spirit Core is everywhere, so my goal is Divine Spirit Core. If I really can't find one, I'll find a powerful warrior, defeat him... and then extract the Spirit Origin from his body."

Mikaela knew very well what his goal was. He would not excessively pursue Divine Spirit Core. If the opponent existed in this Holy Grail War, then he would naturally give everything to defeat him.

If not, Mikaela wouldn't say much, she would just silently fuse with Normal Spirit Core to heal her injuries.

After all, recovering from my injuries is the priority right now; everything else can wait!

"Well then, let's wait until tonight to summon the Servant. I'll have some breakfast first." Emiya Kiritsugu had been talking to Mikaela and hadn't even eaten breakfast yet.

Mikaela was talking to Emiya Kiritsugu while eating breakfast, and before she knew it, she had finished her breakfast.

"Hmm..." Mikaela nodded slightly, stood up, and walked towards the hotel.

All you have to do now is wait for night to fall; there's nothing else to look forward to.

"Tonight, we'll get down to business." After Mikaela left, Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. He wondered what kind of being the Servant he had summoned based on his compatibility.

Chapter 157 Touko's Admonition

"Oh~ Not simple~ Not simple~ You actually got involved in the Holy Grail War."

At this moment, Aozaki Touko is on the phone with Ryougi Shiki. She is indeed out running around, but she has also left emails for Ryougi Shiki and Kiritou Katsuya, asking them to email her if they need anything.

Within three days of leaving, Aozaki Touko Ryougi Shiki. Looking at the picture in the email, she immediately recognized it as Command Seal used to bind Servant in the Holy Grail War.

Knowing this, Aozaki Touko immediately called Ryougi Shiki and said sarcastically, "I told you to stay home and watch the house, but you went to Romania to participate in the Holy Grail War instead. You're quite the 'good employee'."

"How did you know?!" Ryougi Shiki was shocked. She hadn't expected that just by posting a picture, Touko would know she was in Romania!

"Hmph, how could I not know? If I'm not mistaken, you probably wanted to fight Mikaela, so you ran over there!" Aozaki Touko is Magecraft has lived for quite a long time. She can guess what Ryougi Shiki is up to with just a little deduction.

At the Garan no Dou, Aozaki Touko noticed that Ryougi Shiki really wanted to fight Mikaela, but Ryougi Shiki kept suppressing her fighting desire. Aozaki Touko didn't say much, as being able to suppress her desire was a good thing.

Especially someone like Ryougi Shiki, who can suppress her fighting desires, is a good training ground in Aozaki Touko's eyes. This makes her feel a little sad that some of her former immature employees have finally matured.

But this feeling of wonder didn't last even eight days before Ryougi Shiki went straight to find Mikaela?!

She also took the Magic Crest she used to track down those harassing phone calls.

You ask how Touko knew her Magic Crest was stolen? Of course she knew! Didn't she know Ryougi Shiki's Ryougi Shiki? The fact that the other party could accurately track Mikaela's location meant they definitely used that Magic Crest!

"It feels like you're using mind-reading abilities." Ryougi Shiki gave a rather disgusted look. She didn't seem to care much about Aozaki Touko guessing her thoughts, but instead pressed on, "That maid named Mikaela, is she the one who participated in the Holy Grail War?"

"That's right, the Holy Grail War is an opportunity for him to heal his injuries."

On the other end of the phone, Aozaki Touko lit a cigarette and said leisurely, "I advise you to come back quickly. After all, if that guy really starts fighting, you might 'die'."

After spending just one week together, Aozaki Touko had a pretty good understanding of what kind of person Mikaela really was.

The other person was a ruthless individual who would stop at nothing to heal her; he had a deep obsession, an obsession that Aozaki Touko seemed to see a reflection of her past self in.

Or rather... the self who once gave everything to defeat her own sister.

A person in that state is incredibly terrifying. Even though Ryougi Shiki had a brief exchange with Mikaela, Aozaki Touko is certain that if they were to actually fight, Mikaela would definitely go for the kill.

"Death?" Ryougi Shiki didn't expect that Aozaki Touko would warn her instead of blaming her for stealing her Magic Crest.

"That's right, it's death, physical death." For the safety of her employees, Aozaki Touko revealed a little. "That being named Mikaela is not from our time. You remember, right? His self-introduction was that he was a ghost from the past and the future."

"Hmm... isn't it chuunibyou?" Ryougi Shiki said half-jokingly. Mikaela's self-introduction made it obvious that she had chuunibyou.

"What do you think?" Aozaki Touko said in a rather serious tone, "After spending just one week together, you should know whether the other person is someone who often jokes around."

Ryougi Shiki fell silent. Although she hadn't deliberately tried to get close to Mikaela, she knew he wasn't someone who liked to joke around. On the contrary, everything he did was justified.

That's why, within just one week, almost all the employees of Garan no Dou (and very few of them) developed a unique fondness for Mikaela.

"To put it simply," Aozaki Touko said quickly, seeing that Ryougi Shiki was silent, "Mikaela is Servant, or 'Heroic Spirit,' from the last Holy Grail War, the one in Fuyuki City."

"Heroic Spirit?!" Ryougi Shiki became very interested. She knew very well what a 'Heroic Spirit' was, or rather... almost everyone living in this world knew! What is a Heroic Spirit?

"Hmm~ You didn't expect that, did you? The person you've spent a week with is actually a Heroic Spirit ~" Aozaki Touko sensed Ryougi Shiki's surprise, which made her nod in satisfaction, and then continued, "Because of this, he will definitely summon other Servant as Master in this Holy Grail War. With his own power, he is almost certain to win this Holy Grail War."

"Of course, if you join the Holy Grail War, you will inevitably pose a certain threat to him. With the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and the power of Servant, believe me, if you meet him, he will definitely do everything he can to kill you."

"So, take my advice and cut off your Command Seal right away."

Aozaki Touko truly believes that Ryougi Shiki cannot defeat Mikaela. If the opponent were only one person, it would be fine, but this is the Holy Grail War, and the opponent will inevitably summon Servant to fight!

Ryougi Shiki might also summon Servant, but here's the question: is Ryougi Shiki the kind of person who fights from behind her Servant? Obviously not!

Therefore, Aozaki Touko wanted Ryougi Shiki to use the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to cut off the Command Seal, so that she could basically be considered safe and sound.

"Um... I already cut it off, but the Command Seal has moved onto Fujino. After I cut off Fujino's Command Seal, it moved onto me again." Ryougi Shiki looked at Asagami Fujino beside her. The other girl had also heard what Aozaki Touko said, and she didn't know what kind of expression to show.

"Huh?" Aozaki Touko was shocked. What the heck?

Are Command Seal already bound to these two people?! This is absolutely unheard of!

"Wait? You mean? Asagami Fujino is with you too?" Suddenly, Aozaki Touko realized why Asagami Fujino, this well-behaved girl, would cause trouble with Ryougi Shiki.

"Teacher Touko, I'm sorry." Asagami Fujino apologized weakly. She was supposed to stay at the Garan no Dou to guard it, but because she was so eager to see Mikaela, she ran out with Ryougi Shiki.

PS: "I've been updating twice a day for the past few days = = Originally, I wanted to stockpile chapters for the writing event. I had eight chapters saved up on the 7th, 8th and 9th. But suddenly a message made me not want to stockpile chapters anymore, because this is not a writing event, it's a money-spending event (), and I, a trash author, do not deserve the treatment of a writing event."

Chapter 158 Partner

I'm so confused. At this moment, Aozaki Touko doesn't know how to express her feelings.

Ryougi Shiki was going to secretly run away to participate in the Holy Grail War, Aozaki Touko had a premonition, so she gave her email address before leaving to prevent Ryougi Shiki from accidentally running into a car and dying somewhere.

But Asagami Fujino is different. Based on the time they've spent together these past few days, Aozaki Touko can confidently assure her that she's a good girl and would never do something like that.

Then she betrayed Aozaki Touko's trust... and joined Ryougi Shiki in the Holy Grail War held at the Clock Tower.

"You two, this is really..." Aozaki Touko really didn't know what to say. It would be one thing if one of them went, but why did both of them go?!

To be honest, Ryougi Shiki Aozaki Touko was going to fight, but Asagami Fujino, this delicate young lady, although she had participated in a battle before, was not the kind of bloodthirsty person.

Hmm... Although during the battle, I couldn't control my strength and split the enemy's body into several pieces.

However, Aozaki Touko could understand this. The opponent's power had been suppressed for too long, and even a tiny bit of it released would be enough to dismember an ordinary person.

However, the situation is different now! Asagami Fujino is strong, but Servant... she is obviously still a bit too weak. If she had more combat experience, she might be able to become someone who can defeat Servant, just like Bazett.

However, she has only had one combat experience and has not received any specialized training. For her to fight alone is roughly equivalent to a level 3 hero versus a level 6 hero.

Everyone else has their ultimate moves, Asagami Fujino is still experimenting with her skills.

"I'm sorry," Asagami Fujino apologized. She knew she was wrong, but the strange feeling in her heart made her feel that she needed to contact Mikaela.

"Fine, give me Mikaela's phone number and then meet up with him." Aozaki Touko knew that she couldn't persuade the two of them, so she simply let them go and meet up with Mikaela.

Fortunately, this Holy Grail War doesn't have the power to 'fulfill' wishes, so letting the two of them gain experience and talk (fight) with heroes from history is a good thing.

"I don't have his phone number," Ryougi Shiki said calmly. She didn't remember Mikaela's phone number, but after using her Magic Crest to roughly determine the other party's location, Ryougi Shiki hurriedly grabbed her passport and ran to Romania with Asagami Fujino, carrying her Magic Crest.

Touko's Magic Crest is very convenient; once used, there's no need to deliberately memorize the phone number for tracking the next time.

"... Just wait to die."

Aozaki Touko hung up the phone; she clearly had no intention of continuing the conversation with Ryougi Shiki, and hadn't even written down the number! So, if you continue like this, isn't it tantamount to declaring war?!

"Looks like everything's fine." Ryougi Shiki didn't seem to notice that Aozaki Touko had suddenly hung up the phone. She looked at the Command Seal in Asagami Fujino's hand and smiled. "Fighting against heroes from the past, it's actually quite exciting when you think about it."

Do you want it?

Asagami Fujino didn't care about the Command Seal on her hand. She stretched out her hand and said calmly, "I just need to see him. I have no desire to participate in the Holy Grail War."

"No~ I don't want to be protected. Rather than summoning those historical heroes, I'd rather participate in this battle myself." Ryougi Shiki didn't want to rely on others' power; she wanted to fight with her own true strength!

"Well... alright then." Asagami Fujino slightly withdrew her hand, gazing at the Command Seal in her grasp, and murmured to herself, "So, does this mean I have another thing in common with him?"

"Beep~~~"

A text message arrived from Aozaki Touko Ryougi Shiki up her phone and glanced at it, finding detailed information about the Holy Grail War and the steps to summon Servant.
