Although she knew that Kirei Kotomine and Sajyou Manaka were both Masters of the Black Faction, neither they nor Su Luo showed any intention of fighting now.
Since that was the case, she naturally had to seize the time to fill her stomach.
When Kirei Kotomine, seated opposite them, saw Su Luo preparing to taste the insanely spicy noodles, he stopped eating and looked at Su Luo expectantly.
Su Luo was not bothered by this. He picked up a bundle of noodles from the mountain of chilies in his bowl and put them into his mouth.
In an instant, an intense spiciness bloomed on his tongue and rapidly spread.
But in the next moment, Su Luo's Super Adaptation Trait kicked in.
In just an instant, Su Luo adapted to this level of spiciness.
Neither his expression nor complexion changed in the slightest.
A trace of disappointment flashed through Kirei Kotomine's eyes.
He had not seen the scene he had been anticipating.
Still, he felt admiration for Su Luo.
After all, Su Luo could swallow insanely spicy noodles without changing expression, even finishing all the broth and chilies. Kirei Kotomine himself could not do that.
By the end of the meal, Kirei Kotomine's mindset had begun to change.
The moment he saw Su Luo arrive, he knew that the "important person" Sajyou Manaka had mentioned was this young man before him.
It was Su Luo who had sent Sajyou Manaka to bring him here, allowing him to find the meaning of his life.
At that thought, Kirei Kotomine bowed slightly and said solemnly,
"Thank you for having someone bring me here and letting me understand what I should do next. If you ever have need of me, come find me. I will do everything in my power to help you."
After talking for a while,
Kirei Kotomine went to ask the restaurant owner for culinary knowledge, planning to change careers and become the Priest Mapo.
Before Su Luo left, however, Kirei Kotomine transferred Hassan of the Hundred Faces' Command Spells to him.
This also meant that he had given up on participating in this Holy Grail War.
After leaving the restaurant,
Su Luo had Hassan of the Hundred Faces reveal himself. After having the system bind him, Su Luo used the Command Spells Kirei Kotomine had given him to strengthen Hassan of the Hundred Faces, then sent him to assassinate Gilgamesh and disgust him a little.
After Hassan of the Hundred Faces left, Joan of Arc said with some emotion, "Su Luo, thank you for your hospitality."
"I saw everything that happened just now. You are not as vile as I imagined."
When she first learned that the Master who had expanded the scale of the Holy Grail War was Su Luo, she had assumed he was a Magus with a terrible personality.
After all, who would deliberately expand the scale of a Holy Grail War for no reason?
The battles between Servants were no joke.
One careless mistake could very well destroy all of Fuyuki City.
But when she saw him help Kirei Kotomine dispel the confusion in his heart and find his true self, she realized that Su Luo was not as vile as she had imagined.
Nor was he some bloodthirsty demon.
On the contrary, he was a handsome, spirited young man full of charm.
Just as God brought light to people in the darkness and dispelled the confusion in their hearts,
he too helped those who were lost find the direction of their lives.
And that person had even been his enemy.
What extraordinary kindness.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that the reason she had been summoned by the Holy Grail as a Ruler
was not merely to oversee the progress of the Holy Grail War.
There had to be God's will behind it.
God had allowed her to meet Su Luo here.
He had let her see Su Luo's flaws, while also seeing his potential to become a Catholic believer.
In order to keep Su Luo from walking a road of no return and meeting a fate of destruction,
God had guided her into this Holy Grail War to help Su Luo return to the right path!
Watching Joan of Arc suddenly begin to pray, Su Luo immediately felt a wave of malice.
His eyelids drooped as he stared at Joan of Arc for quite a while.
His intuition told him that Joan of Arc was thinking about something unpleasant.
"Lord Su Luo, after tonight, will I be able to stay by your side?"
At that moment, Sajyou Manaka looked at Su Luo with expectant eyes.
"Yes. Tonight, I will end the Holy Grail War!" Su Luo declared solemnly.
As soon as those words were spoken, Joan of Arc, who had been praying, immediately began filling in the blanks in her mind.
"I see. I understand now."
"The reason you altered the rules of the Holy Grail War was to turn the Masters, who were originally killing one another, into a team that distrusted each other.
"Then, you had people you trusted become Masters, allowing them to lead their Servants in defeating the Black Faction's Servants one by one and swiftly end this Holy Grail War."
"You wanted to free the residents of Fuyuki City from their suffering, so they would no longer endure the devastation of the Holy Grail War."
"Your kindness and compassion, just like the Lord's, bring people endless gentleness and tolerance."
As she spoke, Joan of Arc actually dropped to one knee before Su Luo and assumed a praying posture.
Su Luo: ...
Seeing this, Su Luo was completely bewildered and had no idea what Joan of Arc was doing.
But one thing was certain: Joan of Arc had started overthinking things.
She had interpreted everything he had done just now and before as "wanting to save the people from suffering."
He simply did not understand why Joan of Arc had suddenly become like this.
Could his [Grand Caster Succubus] Trait also make people overthink things?
No, it was probably because Joan of Arc's love and faith had come into conflict.
Su Luo's powerful charm had made Joan of Arc, like Melly and King of Lions, develop tremendous affection for him.
But the actions of the man she loved conflicted with her faith and ideals, so driven by love, her mind automatically began imagining the "purpose" behind Su Luo's actions.
It found all sorts of excuses to absolve Su Luo.
Having reached that conclusion, Su Luo could not help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
He shook his head, quickly calmed himself, cast aside his stray thoughts, and used Clairvoyance to observe Wang Xiaomei and the others.
At this moment, Frieren had already finished her battle and was taking Semiramis to support Kaguya Houraisan and the others.
They were facing Gilgamesh. Even though he was being wildly careless and had not used his full strength, it was still extremely difficult for Kaguya Houraisan and the others to defeat him on their own.
They had already agreed that once anyone finished their battle, she would immediately take her Servant to support another member of the Chat Group.
In the end, all the Servants would fight Gilgamesh together and catch him off guard, taking him down in one move before he could use his full strength.
Otherwise, if Gilgamesh got serious, they could only have Su Luo come over and cling to his thigh.
As for Wang Xiaomei's side, Cú Chulainn was remarkably tough.
He had fought Morgan for more than ten minutes without going down.
Of course, aside from Cú Chulainn's own strength, that was also because Morgan had been holding back.
She had noticed that Su Luo seemed unusually enthusiastic about Servants.
Although she did not know what Su Luo wanted to do, since it was something he wanted, she naturally wanted to find a way to get it for him.
That was why she had kept entangling herself with her opponent.
As for Lumine and Medusa, something unexpected had happened.
They were currently bringing the injured Medea and Kiritsugu Emiya toward Su Luo's location.
Seeing this, Su Luo activated Imaginary Number Magic and used Imaginary Space to transfer them directly before him.
"Eh? Isn't this Su Luo? How did we suddenly get here?"
Having suddenly been transferred before Su Luo, Lumine had not even had time to speak when her God's Mouth, Paimon, immediately cried out in surprise.
But Paimon was not the type to dwell on details, especially when they had something important to tell Su Luo.
After her surprise passed, Paimon got straight to the point.
"Su Luo, look who we brought you!"
As she spoke, little Paimon excitedly pointed at Kiritsugu Emiya and Medea.
According to Medea, Kiritsugu Emiya had a grudge against Su Luo.
And because she intended to defect to Su Luo, she had planned to capture Kiritsugu Emiya and hand him over to Su Luo.
When Lumine first met Medea, she knew that Medea was not lying.
Although Medea was known as the Witch of Betrayal, Lumine had read the group files and knew Medea's true nature.
Combined with Su Luo being a [Grand Caster Succubus],
she had already guessed most of Medea's intentions.
While the other Servants all wanted to become Su Luo's Servants, or descend into the world as Servants of his friends,
Medea had taken a different path. She answered Kiritsugu Emiya's summon, descended into the world first, then planned to use her Noble Phantasm, Chains of Heaven, to dissolve her contract with Kiritsugu Emiya before seeking out Su Luo.
What Medea had not expected was that Kiritsugu Emiya had happened to offend Su Luo. When she heard Kiritsugu Emiya plotting how to deal with Su Luo, she had already planned a betrayal.
Therefore, when Lumine approached Kiritsugu Emiya, Medea immediately betrayed him, brought him before Lumine, and intended to have Lumine take her to see Su Luo.
Lumine briefly explained the whole story to Su Luo, then left with Medusa to support Kaguya Houraisan and the others.
Standing before Su Luo, Medea suddenly became nervous.
Because she knew that her reputation in mythological records was terrible, especially since she had betrayed Kiritsugu Emiya right in front of Su Luo and Lumine.
Would that not make Su Luo even more convinced that the myths had been right about her?
Just as Medea was feeling dejected and lost in thought, Su Luo walked up to her and interlaced his fingers with hers beneath Sajyou Manaka's somewhat envious gaze.
"There is no need to say more. I understand what you mean."
"I hereby declare..." Su Luo once again recited the incantation and formed a contract with Medea.
Medea could not help but tear up at the sight.
A smile of joyous tears appeared on her face. "In the name of Caster, I accept your contract. From this day onward, you are my Master."
"I, Medea, swear here that I shall become the most loyal and capable Magus beneath your command."
After the contract was completed, Medea glanced at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was lying on the ground, and asked, "Master, how should we deal with this man?"
When Kiritsugu Emiya summoned her, he already knew that she was the famous Witch of Betrayal.
Therefore, the moment they met, he used a Command Spell to prevent her from betraying him.
Medea was not angry about this.
Because this time, for Su Luo's sake, she had truly intended to betray Kiritsugu Emiya.
Now that Kiritsugu Emiya had been handed over to Su Luo, his life and death would naturally be decided by Su Luo.
"There is no point in killing him like this. Death would be another kind of release for him." Su Luo glanced at Kiritsugu Emiya.
He knew very well what Kiritsugu Emiya was thinking.
