Mikaela's Identity Is Exposed / The Holy Grail? Ha!
"That's right, I am Lu Bu." Red Hare raised its head arrogantly. Since its true name had been exposed, it didn't matter anymore. It was indeed Lu Bu.
"Hahaha, that's interesting. Then I'll call you Lu Bu." Cú Chulainn laughed heartily. He didn't mock Red Hare; on the contrary, he found it amusing. He patted Red Hare's body and exclaimed, "I'm so envious. If I were a Lancer, I would probably cooperate quite well with you."
"Oh?!" At this moment, Red Hare also became interested in Cú Chulainn. He grinned, looking somewhat creepy, and continued, "Actually, I think you're pretty good now. As long as you don't act like strategist Chen Gong, thinking about 'self-destruction' every day, I'll like you even more."
"Hahaha, this is really interesting." Cú Chulainn was growing increasingly fond of Red Hare his teammate.
The two laughed and joked.
Hassan of the Arm and Red A were protecting Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino throughout the entire process. The two of them seemed to have a great connection with Mikaela.
Especially after Hassan of the Arm learned that Asagami Fujino had slept with Mikaela, he stayed by her side, fearing that she might be harmed.
Soon, they arrived at the house that Mikaela had bought. Along the way, Cú Chulainn had checked whether anyone or any familiar was following them, so he was certain that no one was watching them.
"Have they arrived?" Mikaela stood at the door, the Oath of Judas behind him. He 'watched' the Servant return and said in a calm tone, "Five Servant in total, not bad. In terms of numbers, we've evened things out."
"Oh? And this is..." Cú Chulainn frowned upon seeing Mikaela, his smile fading as he said gravely, "You are no ordinary person."
"!!!!" Kiyohime looked at Mikaela, a strange fear flashing in her eyes. This was the feeling of a lower being encountering a higher being; she could sense it! Mikaela possessed something extremely dangerous.
"Oh? This is..." Red Hare stared at Mikaela, then said with certainty, "Diao Chan?"
Because of Red Hare's words, the originally solemn atmosphere suddenly became strange. Mikaela's lips twitched slightly, Ryougi Shiki was suppressing a laugh, Asagami Fujino also looked unsure whether to laugh or remain expressionless.
"Eh?! Is Aila-chan Diao Chan?" Irisviel, who was inside the house, jumped out and looked at Mikaela with great surprise.
"Of all the beauties I've seen, only Diao Chan can compare to you, so you = Diao Chan," Red Hare declared confidently, as if there was nothing wrong with it.
Cú Chulainn lifted Bazett off Red Hare, then carefully examined Mikaela and nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, in my time, you would definitely have a lot of suitors."
"I am male, thank you, please come inside." Although Mikaela didn't care if people called him female, he still wanted to repeat that he was a boy, not a girl.
"Oh?!" Red Hare surprised. He hadn't expected that someone whose beauty could rival Diao Chan's would actually be a man.
Cú Chulainn was also taken aback. He had just complimented her on her beauty, only to find out she was a boy!
Kiyohime opened her fan and made a 'very surprised' expression.
"Mm." Asagami Fujino nodded obediently. She followed Ryougi Shiki into the hut. To be honest... when she saw Mikaela, although she felt a little emotional, it wasn't as strong as she had imagined.
According to Kiyohime, when she saw Mikaela, her emotions must have been intense, as if a fire was burning in her heart.
But she didn't feel that way. Instead, she felt that this was enough. Simply looking at the other person was enough.
Upon entering the room, everyone discovered that it wasn't particularly large, or rather... rather cramped.
"I'll protect you from the outside." Red Hare felt that his body was a bit too big. Although he could move around inside in spirit form, he felt that it was too cramped and made people feel uncomfortable. It would be better for him to protect them from the outside to prevent enemy Servant invading.
"Thank you for your help."
Ryougi Shiki nodded, agreeing to let Red Hare guard them outside. Then, she sat down on the living room sofa without any ceremony, took a cell phone out of her pocket and tossed it to Mikaela, saying calmly, "Touko told us to have you call her after we find you."
"..."
Mikaela paused for a moment, then looked at Ryougi Shiki and said calmly, "I can't see anything, how am I supposed to find Touko's phone number? Besides, I don't even know her phone number."
At this moment, Ryougi Shiki realized that she seemed to have forgotten that Mikaela was blind.
"I'll do it," Asagami Fujino said softly. She took the phone from Mikaela and, with a slight maneuver, immediately dialed Aozaki Touko's number.
"Hello?" Mikaela took the phone from Asagami Fujino's hand quite naturally.
"It seems you've reunited." Hearing Mikaela's voice, Aozaki Touko asked with a smile, "How's the situation?"
"Not good." Mikaela said with some distress, "Do you have any items that can greatly increase magic power? I need a lot of magic power right now to support my strength."
P. S.: "Sixth update! I can still keep writing, I won't stop until midnight, so please give me as many recommendation votes, criticisms, monthly tickets, and tips as you can!!"
P. S.: "As long as you don't stop, I won't stop!!!"
Chapter 186 Mikaela's Identity is Exposed (Seventh Update)
Aozaki Touko and Mikaela were exchanging words, as if they had planned it all along, one daring to ask and the other daring to answer.
The general process is...
Mikaela: "I need a device that can replenish my magic power in large quantities."
Aozaki Touko: "Mana Furnace, this is my suggestion."
Mikaela: "I have no money."
Aozaki Touko: "What are you talking about if I don't have money? I don't have any money either!"
Mikaela: "Ask Waver. He's a Lord after all; borrowing a Mana Furnace shouldn't be a problem for him."
Aozaki Touko: "The Mana Furnace that his predecessor borrowed was destroyed. Because of this, the El-Melloi Faction owes a lot of money. How can he have the face to borrow it again?"
Mikaela fell silent, because he had indeed destroyed those three Mana Furnace!
If Ryougi Shiki hadn't known, Aozaki Touko would have genuinely had no idea where Mikaela was; she would have thought that she and Asagami Fujino had been tricked by this guy.
"Cough cough."
At this moment, Kiyohime coughed a few times and quietly pulled Asagami Fujino. She asked expectantly, "How was it? What was your reaction when you saw your lover?"
"Eh." Asagami Fujino tilted her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. She really didn't have any special reaction.
"??????"
Seeing Asagami Fujino's dazed expression, Kiyohime quickly said, "Don't you feel that flutter in your heart? That feeling of wanting to throw yourself into her arms and stick to her for the rest of your life?"
"Um... no." Although Asagami Fujino really wanted to meet Mikaela, once they actually met, that feeling faded.
"Me? Uh!!!" Kiyohime didn't know what to say. She could sense that her Master was telling the truth, but what was going on?
Could it be that her Master came here to find the other person because of love? According to Kiyohime's fantasy, when Asagami Fujino sees Mikaela, she will probably rush over and kiss him affectionately, and so on.
But this is too bland! Both sides are extremely indifferent!! So indifferent that Kiyohime couldn't help but breathe fire.
Just then, Mikaela finished her conversation with Touko, who offered an extremely simple and straightforward solution.
Replenish Magic! Replenish Magic!! Asagami Fujino and Ryougi Shiki are both here, what are you waiting for?! Just find someone to Replenish Magic.
Then Mikaela hung up the phone immediately, not intending to waste any more words with the other party; she was no longer of any use to her.
"Alright, let me help heal your Master." Mikaela came to Cú Chulainn's side. He looked at Bazett's wounds and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "It's amazing that you two were able to pull through."
Bazett's wounds were truly gruesome, including arrow wounds, knife wounds, sword wounds, blunt force injuries, and gunshot wounds.
These wounds are alright, but the key issue is that the other party has several fatal wounds. Logically speaking, the other party should be dead by now.
The fact that she was able to live, albeit only unconscious, can be seen as Cú Chulainn forcibly giving her a second chance at life.
"Can it be cured?" Cú Chulainn raised an eyebrow; he could tell at a glance that Mikaela was no ordinary person.
"I can probably cure her. As long as it's not a curse, I'm about 70% confident I can heal her." Mikaela casually canceled the Oath of Judas, then looked at Cú Chulainn calmly and said, "After I heal her, remember to help us set up the Magic Workshop, and also make me Rune Magecraft that provide a lot of magic power."
"A deal? That sounds good. I admire you." Cú Chulainn grinned, feeling that his risky trip had paid off! The guys here were all pretty good.
"That's right."
Mikaela knew the nature of the Heroic Spirit here. If Cú Chulainn were an enemy, he would do anything to eliminate him. But since he was now an ally, she had to give him the utmost trust.
Moreover... judging from Bazett's injuries, he must have gone through a pretty brutal battle last night.
"Do you need any help?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked calmly. He was quite confident in his surgical skills, and Bazett's injuries clearly required surgery.
"Unnecessary."
Mikaela shook his head slightly. He crushed the card in his hand, and a dandelion appeared in his hand. He held the dandelion in his hand and waved it slightly at Bazett. The green light entered the other's body.
"..." Looking at the familiar green light, Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to recall the fear of his wife draining him dry!
"Oh?! Essence of life? That's a treasure!" Cú Chulainn exclaimed in surprise. The light emanating from Mikaela's weapon contained a large amount of essence of life, the best item for healing external injuries.
The other Servant also stared in astonishment at the weapon in Mikaela's hand—a weapon that could unleash life essence?!
After the green light Bazett's body, her previously tattered body was now mostly healed, all her fatal wounds were healed, and only minor injuries remained.
"Alright, now we just need to wait for her to wake up." Mikaela didn't plan to continue the treatment. The previous treatment had consumed some of his magic power. He put away the dandelion and looked calmly at Cú Chulainn, saying, "Well then, I have paid for what I have to pay, and you should pay your price now."
"You're Servant, aren't you?" Cú Chulainn had initially thought that Mikaela was just a special human who had greeted several people.
Such humans are rare, but not entirely nonexistent; Bazett, for example, possesses this special aura.
But after seeing the dandelion, Cú Chulainn was certain! The other party was definitely Servant had been given flesh, not an ordinary human.
"I am Saber from the Fourth Holy Grail War." Mikaela made no attempt to hide anything. He sat down next to Ryougi Shiki and calmly looked at Cú Chulainn and Kiyohime, saying, "During that Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail was corrupted, and I unexpectedly gained a physical body. However, I still have some aftereffects. I have recovered from most of them, but some are still not cured."
As she spoke, Mikaela pointed to her eyes, her meaning quite clear.
"Saber? That's really interesting. Because of the Holy Grail, it's impossible to summon Servant of the Saber class in this Holy Grail War."
Cú Chulainn learned about the current state of the Holy Grail War through Bazett and knew that Saber could not be summoned. However, he was truly surprised that Saber from the previous Holy Grail War had actually become flesh and participated in the Holy Grail War as Master.
"What is your target, Saber?" Cú Chulainn asked.
"I don't need any other Divine Spirit Core," Mikaela said calmly. "My target this time is the Servant Medusa and Valkyrie. I need their Spirit Origin."
Everyone here is a sensible person, so Mikaela naturally didn't hide anything. At the same time, he also mentioned Emiya Kiritsugu's wish to participate in the Holy Grail War.
The other party didn't want the Holy Grail; they only wanted the core of the Holy Grail to save their daughter.
PS: This is the seventh update. The author has no drafts, so this is all written and published on the fly. See the screenshot if you don't believe me =A=!
Chapter 187 The Holy Grail? Ha! (Eighth Update)
Cú Chulainn carried Bazett upstairs to her room so she could rest and recover. Then he came downstairs and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with a hint of helplessness. "The Holy Grail core. I don't really care for it, but other people probably want the Holy Grail. After all, if you take the core away, the Holy Grail will lose its 'wish-granting function'."
"Hmm... making a wish is fine too. After you make your wish, I will take down the core." Emiya Kiritsugu indicated that he was willing to compromise.
"As Master and Servant, won't you say anything? What are your wishes for the Holy Grail?" Mikaela sat beside Ryougi Shiki and said calmly, "I will not fight for the Holy Grail. If you need it, we will give it to you first. If both of you need it, you can fight it out after the Holy Grail War is over."
"The Holy Grail? I don't use that."
Ryougi Shiki shook her head slightly. She had no desire for the Holy Grail, or rather... she came here to fight Mikaela, but she knew that the current situation was not the time for fighting. She would take the initiative to fight Mikaela after everything was over.
"I don't have many desires for the Holy Grail. If I had to say, it would be an endless supply of carrots?"
Red Hare's voice rang out from outside, indicating that he had been paying attention to the situation inside. His words were simple: he had no 'wishes'!
Carrots are something you can never finish eating, so Red Hare's wish is basically nonexistent. His greatest wish in this world is probably to fight other generals and promote his idea that Red Hare is the best among men and Lu Bu is the best among horses.
"Huh?" Cú Chulainn was somewhat surprised.
"To be precise, I don't have any wishes." Kiyohime also stated that she had no wishes, because her wish in this world was very simple: 'Lord Anchin' summoned her, so she came out.
However, this time was an exception. It wasn't 'Lord Anchin' who summoned him, but a girl with whom he had a very good affinity.
"I have no wishes either."
Asagami Fujino smiled gently. She didn't know why she had been chosen by the Holy Grail, but she truly had no wishes.
She came here solely to see Aila-chan, and after seeing her, she was content and had no other desires.
"Huh?? Wait! Something's not right. Don't any of you have any wishes?" Cú Chulainn was surprised. He thought it was already absurd that he and Bazett didn't have any wishes, but he didn't expect that the guys here were just like him.
None of them had the desire to entrust their wishes to the Holy Grail.
"Although I want to get my face back, since Mr. Emiya wants to save his daughter, my wish becomes insignificant," Hassan of the Arm said with a relaxed smile, seemingly not particularly concerned about his wish.
"The Holy Grail? Ha!" Red A demonstrated his disdain for the Holy Grail with his attitude!
The Holy Grail is such trash! Even if it were given to me for free, Red A wouldn't want it! Who would want this garbage? They must have been kicked in the head by Red Hare.
"?".
Cú Chulainn felt there was something wrong with these guys. Why did they all reject the Holy Grail? If they had no wishes, why did they respond to their Master's summons?
No, it seems I'm the same as Bazett; they also don't have any desire for the Holy Grail.
What are you doing here?
Just then, the sound of Red Hare came from outside the door, and Mikaela suddenly stood up. He crushed the card in his hand, and the Oath of Judas appeared behind him.
Ryougi Shiki took out a dagger, Cú Chulainn Kiyohime picked up his staff, Kiyohime opened her fan, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye Projection Gan Red A and Mo Xie, Hassan of the Arm hid in the shadows, Asagami Fujino didn't know what to do, Emiya Kiritsugu protected Irisviel and took out a gun from his pocket.
A group of people are ready for battle.
"Calm down, calm down, I just came over to say hello." A rather helpless girl's voice came from outside the door.
After the group of people walked out, Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino said in surprise, "Isn't this the Ruler we met this morning?"
