Wrong Set! / Anchin Reincarnated?

"Ruler? Jeanne d'Arc?" Mikaela frowned slightly. With his magical perception, he could clearly see the 'curves' of the other party's body and the iconic 'Meteor Horseshoe'.

"Huh? Do you know me?" Jeanne d'Arc was somewhat surprised. She had always been the one to see through other people's real names, but this was the first time someone had seen through her real name as soon as they met her.

However, Jeanne d'Arc quickly calmed down. Looking at the Servant and Master emerging from the house, she said helplessly, "Since you recognize me, things are much easier. You're Saber in this Holy Grail War, right...? Wait a minute!!!"

Suddenly, Jeanne d'Arc of Arc felt something was off. She looked closely and realized that Mikaela was human, so why did she call him Saber so casually?

And what's going on?! Saber hasn't been summoned yet for this Holy Grail War, has she?!

"Oh? True Name Discernment?" Cú Chulainn smiled, placing his staff in his hand, his tone somewhat sinister, "Ruler, although you are the referee of the Holy Grail War, you should be careful with your words, otherwise I will suspect that you have joined forces with the other side and deliberately revealed our trump card."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned somewhat hostile, Red Hare even drew its spear, seemingly ready for battle.

"He really is a Black Whistle." Kiyohime sneered. She hated this kind of guy the most. Without saying a word, she waved her fan, and several fireballs were launched at Jeanne d'Arc.

"Don't act impulsively."

Mikaela calmly stopped Kiyohime, but since the fireball had already been launched, there was nothing that could be done.

Jeanne d'Arc was helpless; she really hadn't meant it. She took out the Holy Banner and split the fireball apart, apologizing, "I didn't expect that Saber from the last Holy Grail War would actually succeed in taking the flesh and even participate in this Holy Grail War."

"Do you think I've broken the rules?" Mikaela asked calmly. He hadn't expected that the Holy Grail, lacking magic, would summon the Ruler!

Meanwhile, Mikaela was also testing Jeanne d'Arc to see how she would react. If Joan insisted that she had broken the rules, Mikaela wouldn't mind forcibly keeping her there!

"No, you participated in the Holy Grail War Master, and... you participated because you were injured, right?" Jeanne d'Arc did not say that Mikaela had violated the rules, but she naturally realized that Michaela was injured and had no choice but to participate in the Holy Grail War.

At the same time, her gaze couldn't help but fall on the cross of Mikaela; for some reason, she felt that the cross was very eye-catching.

"Well then, that's all. Since you're a guest, please come and have a seat." Seeing Jeanne d'Arc's words, Mikaela secretly gestured for the Servant standing behind her to refrain from making a move.

"Well then, I'll gladly accept your offer. I have some questions I need to ask you." Jeanne d'Arc breathed a sigh of relief and smiled quite happily. She had finally met someone easy to talk to.

PS: "Eighth update".

PS: "Sigh, I feel like I can't compete for a top ten anymore, I've suddenly lost motivation =A=! But I'll try my best to keep updating, just like I said, don't stop!!! (referring to monthly tickets, hate mail, recommendation tickets, and donations)"

Chapter 188 Wrong Set (Ninth Update)

"Um..."

Jeanne d'Arc of Arc entered the room, hesitant to speak. She looked left and right, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there a place to sit?"

Most of the sofas in the room were occupied, with Ryougi Shiki Asagami Fujino, Mikaela, and Kiyohime sitting on the larger sofa.

Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel sat together on a small sofa, but then Cú Chulainn and Red A took up their seats.

"I'm sorry, there aren't many spaces available. After all, we don't have the money to buy a big house." Mikaela sighed helplessly, looking at Jeanne d'Arc with a sigh, "So please understand."

"Ah, I understand." Jeanne d'Arc forced a smile, indicating that she could understand, after all, she was in the same situation back then, with no money at home and a very small house.

But... why did they sit down as soon as they entered the room, as if it had been rehearsed beforehand?!

"Ahem, so what brings you here?" Mikaela got straight to the point. He really didn't know what Jeanne d'Arc was here for. Was she here to ask for information? Was that something a referee should be doing?

"It's nothing, I'm just staying here temporarily to observe you." Jeanne d'Arc smiled, feeling that her request was perfectly reasonable.

"The house is small, with three rooms. Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino sleep in one room. They are girls, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to sleep in the same room."

"Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu are husband and wife, so it's perfectly reasonable that they sleep in the same room."

"Bazett is injured, Cú Chulainn will not allow you to go and disturb her."

At this point, Mikaela smiled mysteriously and said calmly, "Even I can only sleep inside Judas, so the girl inside you can't sleep on the sofa, can she?"

Jeanne d'Arc of Arc opened her mouth wide, unsure of what to say. She finally understood that they didn't want her to stay there!

"Wait, Judas ...you're not talking about the weapon on your back, are you?" Jeanne d'Arc's gaze fell on the cross on Mikaela's back. To be honest, she had been focusing on the cross on Mikaela's back the whole time.

The more Jeanne d'Arc looked at it, the stranger it seemed. Logically, she should have loved the exquisitely crafted cross, but she felt a strange unease, as if the cross were her nemesis.

"You can think of the Oath of Judas as Noble Phantasm once killed the Son of God." Seeing that Jeanne d'Arc's attention was focused on the Oath of Judas, Mikaela lowered the cross on his back and planted it in the ground, saying in a very calm tone, "If the Lance of Longinus is the God-Slaying Spear, then the Oath of Judas is probably the cross that crucifies gods."

Although the Honkai Impact universe is different from the Type-Moon World, there are always some things that can be traced back to, so what Mikaela said is not wrong.

No, it's not.

Jeanne d'Arc shook her head slightly, and looked at Mikaela very seriously, saying, "This is not the cross of the crucifixion of the Grim Reaper, that's what the Lord told me, but she has very strange powers."

"Tsk." Mikaela hadn't expected that the so-called 'Lord' was actually keeping an eye on Jeanne d'Arc.

"Moreover," Jeanne d'Arc said earnestly, looking at Mikaela, "It said you are destined to be with it, but the time is not yet right."

"???" Mikaela was dumbfounded. What the hell? How did I end up with the 'Master'?!

"Since there's no place to stay, I'll stay here for a while." Jeanne d'Arc sat down on the ground very seriously, then opened her suitcase and took out Laeticia's notebook.

Laeticia is just a high school student. The reason she was able to come to Romania with her to participate in the Holy Grail War is naturally because school is on holiday. But even on holiday, homework still needs to be done.

Now that she has some free time, Jeanne d'Arc should help Laeticia with her homework.

Hmm! Let Laeticia come out to do her homework, but Jeanne d'Arc has been in Leticia's body all day, so it's normal for her to have time to help her with her homework now, right?

Opening her notebook, Jeanne d'Arc ignored the strange looks from others and looked at it very carefully. Then she realized that she couldn't understand it at all. She nodded slightly, after all, she couldn't even write her own name when she was alive.

"Lord, please tell me how to write it." Jeanne d'Arc of Arc placed the textbook in front of her and prayed very respectfully. All along, she had relied on the voice of the Lord to get through it.

This time is no exception! The Almighty will surely answer your voice.

"..."

There was a moment of silence. Mikaela had originally intended to ask Jeanne d'Arc why the 'Lord' had his eye on him, but he quickly shut his mouth, thinking it was better not to ask too many questions.

Sometimes, it is curiosity that leads people into the abyss, so Mikaela suppressed her inner curiosity.

After waiting for a few minutes without hearing the Lord's voice, Jeanne d'Arc silently put the textbook into her suitcase.

Hmm, it seems the Lord wants to tell me not to bother Him with these kinds of things.

"Well, now that you've bought a house, what are you planning to eat today?" At this moment, Red A looked around the kitchen and, finding that everything he needed was there, asked the Master, "I'm quite confident in my cooking skills, so feel free to suggest whatever you like."

"Whatever," Ryougi Shiki said calmly, she had no dietary restrictions.

"Me too." Asagami Fujino nodded.

The other Master also said they had no dietary restrictions, so they told Red A to do it without worry. However, Cú Chulainn smiled and said, "I want to eat fish, so I'll have to trouble you."

"I'll go buy groceries first," Mikaela said calmly, standing up. "Does anyone want to come with me?"

"Me!!" Kiyohime jumped up, then quickly pulled Asagami Fujino beside her, and said in a very serious tone, "Let's go out together."

Asagami Fujino did not object. She nodded silently and said softly, "I can help carry things."

"Leave the physical labor to me," Hassan of the Arm said, emerging from the shadows. He indicated that he could carry things.

"You'll scare people. Let me do it. You and the others guard the base." Cú Chulainn put away his staff, then changed into a more modern casual outfit. He smiled at Mikaela and said, "Perfect timing. I'm going to pick out a good fish and have Archer cook it. If he doesn't cook it well, I'll punish him."

"Hmph." Red A snorted, as if accepting Cú Chulainn's challenge.

"Duck, duck, this is so troublesome. I'm going to take a nap." Ryougi Shiki stretched and acted as if she were at home, walking upstairs and reminding Red A, "Remember to call me when it's time to eat."

"The table seems a bit small. Should we buy a bigger one, Kiritsugu?" Irisviel seemed to be considering whether to buy a larger table nearby since the dining table wasn't particularly big.

"Um."

Emiya Kiritsugu accepted Irisviel's suggestion and then went out to buy a table with Hassan of the Arm.

"Huh??" Jeanne d'Arc, sitting on the ground, seemed a little dumbfounded. She felt like she had come to the wrong place. Was this the Holy Grail War?

Why do I feel like they're celebrating? Logically, shouldn't they be nervously analyzing enemy intelligence right now? Why is the first thing they think about after getting together being food?

PS: "Happy Chinese New Year =A=! Ah, this is the ninth update. I'll take a break after finishing the next chapter and continue tomorrow."

P. S.: "The author is unlikely to make it into the top ten, oh well, I'll just keep updating =A=!"

Chapter 189 Anchin Reincarnated? (Tenth Update)

The four of them went grocery shopping. Mikaela, Mikaela, and Kiyohime Asagami Fujino side by side, while Cú Chulainn walked in front, looking at the surrounding scenery with a very gentle smile, as if he could never get tired of it.

"Ah~ walking on the earth is truly the happiest thing," Cú Chulainn exclaimed, completely ignoring the strange looks from others, as he arrived at the fruit stand.

Under the bewildered gaze of his boss, he casually picked up an apple, wiped it on his clothes, and then looked at Mikaela with a smile, saying, "Saber, do you have money? Buy me one."

"Here, buy a few more and take them back for them to eat."

Mikaela casually gave him a few pieces of paper money to pay for himself, and then gave him some extra apples.

"Oh, thank you so much." Cú Chulainn handed the money to the other person and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you to pick out a few good apples for me."

The shopkeeper nodded, packed a bag of apples for Cú Chulainn, and then stared blankly as Cú Chulainn left with Mikaela and the others. He secretly spat and cursed Cú Chulainn in his heart for being a gigolo who relied on girls' money to buy things.

"By the way, why did you come here?" At this moment, Mikaela also began to ask Asagami Fujino why she came here to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Mikaela already knew Ryougi Shiki's purpose for coming, and when the other party saw her, flames called 'Battle Spirit' rose from Ryougi Shiki's body.

It seems that Ryougi Shiki noticed her abnormality back in the Garan no Dou. She didn't fight her then, probably waiting for her injuries to heal completely before engaging in a fair battle.

Mikaela was truly puzzled as to why Asagami Fujino had come, especially since she had summoned Kiyohime based on their compatibility, which made Mikaela even more confused.

"I want to see you." Asagami Fujino spoke her mind, placing her hands on her heart, somewhat confused, and said, "But I don't know why I came to see you. I'm very confused."

"Oh~" Cú Chulainn whistled after hearing this, then deliberately took a few steps forward, indicating that they could continue and he was definitely not listening.

"Everything happens for a reason." Mikaela looked at Asagami Fujino emotions he perceived as 'unknown'.

What is the 'unknown'? Simply put, even Mikaela herself doesn't know that emotion.

"Love! Love!"

Kiyohime muttered under her breath, "Besides love, what else can explain this? There's nothing!!"

"I don't think it's love." Mikaela shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I've only known Fujino for less than a month, and we haven't even spent two weeks together. Nothing special has happened during that time."

"But you slept together!" Kiyohime seemed particularly dissatisfied with Mikaela's reaction, her voice sharp as she said, "You've already slept together! What else could it be but mutual affection?!"

However, Mikaela was quite familiar with Kiyohime's personality. While she was speaking, he casually set up a soundproof barrier around them, preventing passersby from hearing Kiyohime's shrill voice.

"Don't get agitated." Mikaela glanced at Kiyohime and said in a very calm tone, "That was our first day meeting. Do you think it's reasonable for us to sleep together on our first day together?"

"Unreasonable."

Kiyohime naturally found this unreasonable, so she concluded that Mikaela and Asagami Fujino must like each other, which was why they slept together.

But now, Mikaela's attitude makes Kiyohime wish she could unleash a "Dragon's Roar" and roast her alive.

"Well, so you'll have to ask Fujino. I don't know why either. I already told her that night that I'm a man, but she didn't seem to believe me and ended up sleeping in the same bed with me. Nothing happened in between; I just slept until dawn."

Mikaela cleverly shifted the topic to Asagami Fujino, because he knew very well that if Kiyohime said the wrong thing in this state, she might get angry and attack him.

Although Mikaela is not afraid to fight Kiyohime, some things can be resolved with words, so why resort to fists?

This made Kiyohime turn her attention to Asagami Fujino, clearly wanting to hear what the other had to say. Only now did Kiyohime realize that she seemed unaware of Mikaela and Asagami Fujino's experiences.

"Hmm..." Asagami Fujino Kiyohime's gaze and slowly began to tell her story with Mikaela.

Kiyohime found it increasingly strange. This was just a standard "beauty saves beauty" routine. For some reason, Kiyohime focused her gaze on Mikaela, staring intently at her. Finally, she gave a gentle smile and said, "Why? Well, that's true. Since Lord Anchin has been reincarnated, then 'I' will definitely be reincarnated too."

"???"

Mikaela suddenly realized that Kiyohime seemed to have misunderstood something, and that misunderstanding was quite significant.

"This humble woman is not very talented~" Kiyohime held Mikaela's hand and said with a very gentle smile, "Lord Anchin, I didn't expect that you would actually transform into a delicate young man to avoid me, but it's okay, I will still love you."

"Huh?" Asagami Fujino was stunned. She didn't understand what was wrong with Kiyohime. Just a moment ago, she was standing up for her.

Why did she suddenly hug Aila-chan? What did she realize?

"I think you've misunderstood." A bead of cold sweat appeared on Mikaela's forehead. He didn't want to be targeted by Kiyohime. Although she seemed very calm, what normal person had an EX Mad Enhancement form?!

"No, no, no, I didn't misunderstand~" Kiyohime smiled brightly. She moved closer to Mikaela so that the other could feel her heartbeat. She looked at Mikaela and Asagami Fujino with great sincerity and said seriously, "At first, I thought that Master was able to summon me because of his love for his lover, so he summoned me."

"Now it seems that 'I' was reincarnated and then met 'Lord Anchin'. Because of the feelings in the previous life, she has always had special feelings for you, which is why she has been pursuing you relentlessly. I was really negligent in not understanding this."

Looking at Kiyohime's ashamed face, Asagami Fujino was very puzzled, wondering what was going on.

"But... it's so good that you're a man." Kiyohime narrowed her eyes and licked her lips, seemingly without any doubt about what she was thinking.

Therefore, she doesn't intend to help Asagami Fujino release her inner feelings now; she plans to take matters into her own hands, because! Lord Anchin must be hers! And that's true even if she's a reincarnation!!

"..."

Mikaela felt that she really couldn't sleep in her bed tonight; she had to sleep in Judas's chamber. Otherwise, when she woke up, she would find a naked Kiyohime lying on her bed.

PS: "Tenth update, goodnight everyone! Going to sleep now."
