Love! Love! Love! / Huh?! What the Hell?

"What? I just created the East Wind Express and the Big Ivan, used nuclear bombs to bombard the dragon god and demon, and nuked the whole world?"

"What? I tricked True Magic into becoming a programmer and creating the internet?"

"What? I just became a great emperor by standardizing writing, cart tracks, weights and measures, and climbing the technological ladder?"

But I'm really not an evil god!

Xialuo couldn't understand why, despite all that he had done, he was regarded by the gods as the most terrifying and evil god.

Chapter 163 Love! Love! Love!

"Oh, I see. So you joined the Holy Grail War to pursue someone?"

Inside the hotel, Kiyohime sat on the bed just like Ryougi Shiki, her eyes shining as she looked at Asagami Fujino.

"Hmm...yes, that's right, I want to go find Aila-chan." Asagami Fujino nodded. She was also sitting on the bed, editing a message on Ryougi Shiki's phone and sending it to Aozaki Touko.

When she summoned Kiyohime, Asagami Fujino clearly felt something was wrong with her body, as Aozaki Touko had mentioned in a previous message.

If you successfully summon Servant, report it to her immediately and share your own feelings so that she understands what situation Asagami Fujino is in.

"This must be love!!"

Kiyohime's words were surprising, leaving Ryougi Shiki, who had just finished bathing and was drying her hair, stunned.

"Huh?" Asagami Fujino stopped typing, tilted her head slightly, and looked puzzled.

"That's right! This is love!" Kiyohime seemed to understand. Her eyes shone with an astonishing light, and she spoke faster, "To pursue her love, this girl came here from Japan to participate in this Holy Grail War. She didn't desire to give up the Holy Grail; it was entirely because of the love in her heart!!!"

"Eh?!?!?!?!"

A hint of confusion flashed in Asagami Fujino's eyes. Was she doing this for love? Why didn't she feel that?

"Huh?" Ryougi Shiki looked very puzzled. She waved her hand and said speechlessly, "According to your logic, then I also participated in the Holy Grail War for love?"

"Um..."

Kiyohime looked Ryougi Shiki up and down, and finally smiled brightly, saying, "That's right. If it weren't for love, would a woman spend so much time and energy coming here?"

"This..." Asagami Fujino seemed to be stumped by the question. She had a deep doubt in her heart: was she really doing it for love?

Is it love that makes her want to see Aila-chan? Is it love that makes her choose to disobey Teacher Touko and come all the way from Japan to get here?

"That's it! Love can inspire all your power. I... was born for love..." Kiyohime seemed a little downcast as she said this, but she quickly recovered and looked at Asagami Fujino very seriously and said, "I understand. Why was it not you, Lord Anchin, who was able to summon me?"

"True Self thought that Lord Anchin was reincarnated as a girl, but now I finally understand why you were able to summon me. It's because we've always been pursuing 'love'!"

"Because of that pursuing love, you summoned me! This love is enough for me to answer your call!!"

Faced with Kiyohime's emotional outburst, Asagami Fujino didn't know what to say. She herself was in a rather strange state of mind. As for love... she had thought about it before.

However, due to her unusual condition, she never confided in anyone, not even to Kiritou Katsuya, who had helped her in the past; she only felt gratitude in her heart.

But when facing Mikaela, she was unsure whether the feelings she felt were gratitude or not.

The other party saved him and took him to the other side of the world, where... his body was healed, his sense of pain was restored, and his eyes were given extremely powerful abilities.

Her life underwent a dramatic change, a change that can be said to have been orchestrated by Mikaela herself.

"I don't know, I don't understand this feeling," Asagami Fujino murmured.

"It's alright! I'm here." Kiyohime grasped Asagami Fujino's hand and smiled gently, "You'll definitely be able to face your feelings correctly."

"Ducks, ducks, enough already." Ryougi Shiki shook her head, clearly not understanding what Asagami Fujino and Kiyohime were doing.

Kiyohime's words were utter nonsense to her; she had come to fight Mikaela with a fighting spirit.

As for love? Love is something that she simply has no connection with.

She thought that no one else would fall in love with her, and no one Ryougi Shiki would fall in love with her either.

"Beep beep~"

The ringing of her phone immediately brought Asagami Fujino back to her senses, and she focused her attention on Ryougi Shiki's phone. She noticed that Aozaki Touko was calling.

Asagami Fujino quickly answered the phone, not even bothering to discuss the situation with Kiyohime, because she knew that if Teacher Touko called, she obviously had something to tell her.

When I answered the phone, Aozaki Touko seemed to be lighting a cigarette. She took a small puff and then said calmly, "I understand the general situation. Should I say you're lucky or unlucky..."

"Teacher Touko?" Asagami Fujino asked, puzzled, not understanding what Aozaki Touko meant.

Aozaki Touko said to herself, "Fortunately, your Mystic Eyes seem to have replaced the magical power consumed by Servant. Because your power has been suppressed for a long time, the power accumulated in your Mystic Eyes has become somewhat unimaginable. If you use it wildly, it is very likely to cause you to go blind."

"The power accumulated by the Mystic Eyes has now been partially released along with the arrival of the Servant. From now on, you don't have to worry about losing control when using the power and causing your eyes to suddenly go blind."

From her words, Asagami Fujino vaguely sensed that Aozaki Touko didn't seem surprised by the result; perhaps this was exactly what she wanted.

She had never undergone formal Magecraft training, and as for her so-called magic power... she might have some magic power in her body due to her bloodline, but since she had never undergone formal training, she didn't have much at all.

Even so, Aozaki Touko allowed her to boldly perform the ritual of summoning Servant.

Now it seems that Teacher Touko had foreseen this all along. I must say... she truly lives up to her reputation as Teacher Touko.

"That's good news. The bad news is... Kiyohime is probably no match for Mikaela at all." On the other end of the phone, Aozaki Touko put down her cigarette and said with some helplessness, "Servant also have different strengths. Kiyohime didn't achieve much in her life. If we really have to say what she did achieve, it's probably that she turned into a 'dragon' and burned Anchin to death."

"But the existence of 'dragons'... well... to be honest, I don't think Kiyohime is the kind of dragon that is extremely powerful. At the same time, I have received some rather explosive news, which is that Mikaela is probably really very powerful."

"He was a Saber-class Servant in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and he ended the Holy Grail War in one night, eliminating four Servant that night."

Aozaki Touko rubbed her temples, seemingly sensing the silence on the other end of the phone. She put a cigarette in her mouth and continued, "I've also investigated the information on four of the heroes."

"One of them is the King of Conquerors — Iskandar."

"One is Diarmuid Duibhne, the chief warrior of the Knights of Fianna, known for his Radiant Visage."

"There is also Hassan of the Hundred Faces, one of the 19 leaders of the Assassin Order who inherited the name 'Hassan Sabah'."

"The last one is the King of Heroes — Gilgamesh."

"If you do a little research on these people online, you'll find out just how strong they are. So I'm giving you this final warning: if you want to come back, it's not too late now. Otherwise, if I go there now, all I'll be able to do is collect your corpses."

Hmm... I'm lusting after her body. jpg

Chapter 164 Huh?! What the hell?!

Previously, Aozaki Touko didn't care about the so-called Holy Grail War, since she had no desires and didn't want to enter the Root.

It was only because Ryougi Shiki Asagami Fujino, and Mikaela had intervened in the Holy Grail War that she reluctantly went over to look at the information from the Fourth Holy Grail War.

This is quite something.

I heard from a Lord that Mikaela was arguably the strongest being at the time, but although she had shown her strength at the beginning, her presence wasn't particularly significant.

He was meticulous and bold in his actions, yet he was also very low-key. If it weren't for the fact that a certain Caster had stood out and used his Noble Phantasm to create a monster that ordinary people couldn't deal with, he would have been a formidable opponent.

That probably won't force Mikaela to reveal her true cards.

As for what the other party's trump card is, the Lord said he would not tell, even if Touko paid a higher price to force him to tell, he would absolutely not reveal it.

Because he didn't want to be remembered by Mikaela anymore. In other words... in his mind, Aozaki Touko, who was known as the Order of Puppeteer, was not as terrifying as Mikaela.

To become Lord and survive in the cannibalistic society of the Clock Tower, one must either be incredibly powerful or possess great wisdom.

Clearly, that Lord was not as wise as his predecessors, but he was still a man of great wisdom. The fact that he could make such a clear assertion meant that the answer was pretty obvious!

Mikaela was terrifying, so terrifying that he dared not fight her a second time.

"..." Asagami Fujino silent. She didn't know what to say. She could understand what Teacher Touko was saying, but she didn't want to go back... She didn't want to return to Japan before she saw Mikaela.

"How rude of me." Kiyohime had obviously noticed the phone. With her modern knowledge, she said somewhat angrily, "Although I'm not well-known, I am still a Servant."

"I can't just stand by and watch a student I've only taken on for two weeks die. I feel a little sorry, but the other party is not someone to be trifled with." Aozaki Touko heard Kiyohime's voice, but she herself didn't show much emotion.

After all, she had already studied Servant with physical bodies, so she wasn't really interested in a Servant who didn't have a physical body and relied on magic to survive.

Aozaki Touko didn't try to persuade her. That's just her personality. Although she would give reminders, she wouldn't try to stop the other person like a mother hen if she couldn't persuade them.

So at this moment, after briefly explaining the pros and cons, Aozaki Touko calmly said, "I've already told you everything I need to say. Mikaela contacted me earlier probably because she wanted information about the Holy Grail War. Now that you two are involved and don't plan to come out, I'll send you the information later."

"Oh? Intelligence?"

Ryougi Shiki became interested; what she needed most right now was intelligence!

Touko's Magic Crest, which was used to track down other people's phone numbers, has inexplicably broken, and she's now wondering what to do.

Unexpectedly, Aozaki Touko took care of everything, which made Ryougi Shiki very happy, feeling that she could finally accomplish something big!

"That's right, intelligence, the most basic intelligence. I asked someone to look for it all night. Because the other party is heavily in debt, he naturally puts his heart and soul into this kind of intelligence. Although intelligence is seven parts true and three parts false, it is intelligence after all. You shouldn't believe too much in intelligence itself. Just take a look at it yourself."

After saying all that, Aozaki Touko hung up the phone; she had said everything she needed to say.

The rest is up to the two of them to decide whether to continue stubbornly or return the way they came.

Soon after Aozaki Touko hung up the phone, an email was sent to Ryougi Shiki's phone containing information about the Holy Grail War.

"Shiki." Asagami Fujino handed the phone to Ryougi Shiki. She didn't need to see any information because she had no intention of participating in the Holy Grail War.

The one who wants to participate in the Holy Grail War and fight is Ryougi Shiki... not her. Her goal is to come and see Mikaela and meet her.

Although, according to Touko, her actions could easily lead to death.

For some reason, Asagami Fujino wasn't scared, or rather... in her memory, Mikaela had always been such a gentle person.

"Let me see."

Ryougi Shiki took the phone. At that moment, she didn't have time to put on any underwear, so she just put on a white shirt and looked at the information on the phone.

Unexpectedly, the first picture was of Mikaela, followed by a detailed description of her combat abilities. Her Noble Phantasm is something resembling a cross, and she has a variety of attack methods.

It can engage in both melee and ranged attacks, and also has the ability to restrain others, but its true effect is 'unknown'.

Below are comments written by Touko herself.

"She is clearly Saber, but she didn't carry a sword. Instead, she took out a cross. This shows that she must be hiding a very powerful trump card. That is the proof that she is considered 'Saber'."

This is Aozaki Touko's evaluation, not something written by some indebted Lord. She deduced this situation based on information from multiple sources.

"Were you treated as an enemy from the very beginning?" Ryougi Shiki smiled strangely at Aozaki Touko's words, Ryougi Shiki said with a hint of helplessness, "That guy was still helping someone else, and now he's being treated as a potential enemy."

"According to what Teacher Touko said, we will definitely fight with Aila-chan. Once we fight, he will definitely not hold back, and we may die." Asagami Fujino could also understand what it meant for Aozaki Touko to specifically circle Mikaela.

"I know without her saying it."

Ryougi Shiki has a deep understanding of the word 'death', but now she is no longer afraid of death. If she were to die because she is not skilled enough, she would not have any complaints.

"Saber?" Kiyohime also came closer. She glanced at the introduction, then looked at the picture of Mikaela, and finally fell into deep thought. Then she placed her hand on Asagami Fujino and said in a very serious tone, "Even if this love is beyond my imagination, I will still help you!"

"Huh?" Asagami Fujino was stunned again. What's wrong with Kiyohime?

"Although I haven't experienced love between women, as your Servant, I will definitely support you unconditionally." Kiyohime seemed to have mustered a lot of courage to say these words.

"Um... Aila-chan is a boy." Asagami Fujino seemed to understand what Kiyohime had misunderstood, and she said weakly, "Although he looks like a girl, he said it's a family trait... and there's nothing that can be done about it."

"Ha?!"

Kiyohime, who had maintained a gentle expression all along, could no longer keep it up. After all, the difference between her previous and current expressions was too great, even though she knew that there were men in history who had feminine appearances.

But at first glance, she felt that Mikaela was a woman, not a man.

"..." Ryougi Shiki her best to maintain a cold expression, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned. Yes! That was the expression!!

When he first learned that Mikaela was male, he had a similar expression.

P. S.: "That's all, my mom's back, I need to clean!!!"

Chapter 165 The hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly

"..." Emiya Kiritsugu shakily took out a cigarette. Next to him, Red A snapped his fingers slightly, and a flame appeared on his fingertip, helping Emiya Kiritsugu light the cigarette.

"It's cool, but you shouldn't waste your magic power."

Emiya Kiritsugu Red A at Archer, who gave a subtle smile and said helplessly, "I don't need a lot of mana, and in addition, the 'world' in my present world helps me provide mana, so I am currently in a state of very full mana."

"..."

Well, he's a master with no shortage of magic power, and he's quite compatible with me, so why can't Emiya Kiritsugu be happy?

This is definitely not the reason why the other party didn't save me yesterday! Is he the kind of petty person?

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at the Command Seal. There were still three left. Should he give him one, so that if he were in any kind of 'danger,' he would have to come and save him immediately?

"You seem to be in good spirits."
