Shirou, There's No Need to Make the Setting That Complicated

Night Grass: Hey, you genuinely like him from the bottom of your heart, right?

Yani: Yes, I feel very safe and secure when I'm by his side.

Lijia: That kind of thinking is unacceptable! You have to fight back! Teach that scumbag a lesson! (?Д?*)?

It seems that this "Mrs. Lijia" not only likes to use emoticons, but also has a rather irritable and straightforward personality.

Yani: I don't care that he's seeing Miss Flora, as long as he won't leave me. "I need you," he said it himself.

Lijia: You idiot! Men's words are deceitful! If you're so obedient, men won't cherish you! They'll just dump you! (σ`д′)σ

"Will... will he leave me?"

Ophelia froze in front of the computer screen.

She never imagined that Shinji would reject her.

Yani: No, Master, I absolutely don't want to leave me!

Lijia: So you can't hold back! You have to yell at him! ╰(‵□′)╯

Night Grass: Lijia, you're too short-tempered; it's backfiring. Miss Yani, you need to express to your husband that you're the one who cares about him the most. That way, he'll focus his attention on you.

Yani: I understand.

Didi: Go for it! I'll cheer for Miss Yani!

It's clear that "Mrs. Didi" is the gentle, Yamato Nadeshiko type.

Lijia: Didi, you said you wanted to cheer her up, so do you have any good suggestions? →_→

Didi: Hmm... that's true. If saying no to having affairs were enough, my husband wouldn't...

Night Grass: Sigh~ A man who is obedient is unlikely to have an affair from the very beginning.

Lijia: So I'm getting a divorce! I'm divorcing him! (╯‵□′)╯

Night Grass: Lijia, since you've put it that way, why don't you get a divorce?

Lijia: How is it possible to get divorced! Why should I give my man to that sneaky cat for nothing!

Didi: That's true. Women who lay a hand on other women's husbands should be deep-fried until golden brown on both sides.

Night Grass: You two, that's enough! Shouldn't we be helping Miss Yani figure out a way to win her husband back? What have you got to say about this?!

"Change of heart... does it mean getting my boss to notice me again?"

Ophelia, who had been watching the three-person stand-up comedy routine, was stunned.

"The boss... to me..."

Pfft~

A flush rose from Ophelia's blushing cheeks.

Yani: Please teach me how to do it!

Didi: I think the most common method is to go and show up at that sly cat! Bypass the men and directly assert your dominance over her!

Yani: Will this make my master change his mind?

Lijia: At least assert your dominance first! Show her you absolutely won't lose to her! It'd be best to do something extreme, let her know how powerful you are! ^0^

Night Grass: Absolutely no soft-heartedness! Be assertive! Assertive!

Didi: Keep it up! Everyone will be praying for Miss Yani's happiness!!

Yani: Thank you, I understand. I'm going to Miss Flora now to have my date.

In Ophelia's opinion, since these three considered "dating" to be an unforgivable thing, she might as well go on a date with Chloe herself.

Night Grass:??

Didi:???

Lijia:????Σ( ° △ °|||)

The three ladies on the other end of the network quickly tried to call Ophelia back, but she had already gone offline.

◇◆◇◆

The next day.

"What's wrong, Lizzie?"

Shinji noticed Chloe's gloomy expression and became curious.

"Yesterday, your secretary came to my hotel room, dragged me around the street, and said it was all for you."

Chloe rubbed her forehead, looking like she was wondering, "Was I still half asleep?"

Shinji, however, looked enlightened. "Ah? That explains why I couldn't find Ophelia yesterday afternoon. Oh, so she went to your place."

"What does she want from you?"

"I don't know, it's just that something feels off because it's so inexplicable," Chloe said hesitantly. "Could she be researching some strange Magecraft?"

Shinji tilted his head, indicating he didn't quite understand. "I don't know, isn't her Heroic Spirit Origin research still ongoing?"

"I don't really study Magecraft," Chloe retorted. "Oh well, I'll just stay away from her in the future."

"That's for the best, so as not to corrupt my Little Secretary."

"Hello!"

Amidst Chloe's coquettish laughter, Shinji tilted his head to dodge the book that Chloe was throwing at him.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Shinji jumped off the sofa and carefully placed an old roll of parchment from the table onto the True Magic circle drawn on the floor.

"Luckily, I didn't have to return the item after the unexpected summoning incident last time. I really am a prophet!"

Chloe pouted. "Isn't it because you're reluctant to spend the money that you're keeping it all to yourself?"

Shinji ignored Chloe, who had exposed him, and instead reached out his hand, which was inscribed with Command Spell, towards the True Magic circle.

"Declare! You are beneath me, and your fate is entrusted to my sword."

"Hey, don't ignore me and just summon Heroic Spirit!"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"... Have I been summoned?"

As her consciousness gradually returned, Medea opened her eyes.

A boy with curly blue hair smiled and said to her, "You're awake. The surgery was a success."

Smack

The silver-haired woman next to the boy patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't cause me any trouble."

The boy waved his hand dismissively. "Just trying to ease the tension~"

"Master, hello."

Medea bowed and greeted the boy.

According to the contract within her body, Medea knew that the boy named Shinji Matou was her Master, and she also knew what she was supposed to do by summoning her.

Although Medea was aware of the terms of the contract, she did not understand why the other party had chosen her.

So Medea lowered her head and asked softly, "Um... why did you choose to summon Witch like me?"

"My reputation is so bad, there should be a better Heroic Spirit than me."

"Is his reputation really that bad?"

Shinji's eyes widened, and he deliberately asked in an incredulous tone, "Miss Medea, aren't you a victim?"

"Victim? Me?"

Now it was Medea's turn to widen her eyes.

The Heroic Spirit in Hall of Heroes undergo slight changes as their legends evolve, and Medea was well aware of her reputation among the mortals.

Therefore, Medea could not understand why the Magecraft who summoned her would say such a thing.

"I am a treacherous Witch, an unfortunate woman," Medea said sadly. "If Master feels this is inappropriate, it's not too late to break the contract."

"Break the contract? Why break the contract? I summoned you, Medea, the Magecraft genius of the Age of Gods, the granddaughter of the Sun God, and the priestess of the Moon God."

Shinji's tone remained perplexed, causing Chloe, standing beside him, to roll her eyes repeatedly.

"Master, are you misunderstanding something about me?"

Hearing Shinji's insistence, Medea asked cautiously.

She knew that everything she had experienced was a tragedy, but what the world didn't know was that outsiders had always called her an evil Witch.

His own Master, Shinji Matou, was the first person who didn't hate him for what he had done.

This made Medea both happy and scared. She was happy that she was finally not misunderstood, but scared that the other party simply did not understand her.

[After learning what I've done, will this innocent and kind-hearted Master simply send me back to Hall of Heroes?]

Medea knew that Shinichi had many Heroic Spirit under his Shinji, and that he could kill her with just a few Heroic Spirit from them.

"I don't know what you're really thinking, but I do think Medea is a good girl."

If she were Medea, the Witch from a mythological record of a past life, then Second Master would definitely want to get as far away from her as possible.

But he summoned Caster Medea from Type-Moon, so what's there to worry about?

As long as he didn't betray her first, Shinji believed that Medea would never attack him.

However, using reading the script as an excuse was definitely not appropriate, so Shinji took out the book he had prepared beforehand.

"What is this? A magic book?"

Medea asked curiously.

"No, this is your story, Medea."

Shinji explained with a smile, "Because I'm not European, I know all about your story from this book."

Shinji opened the title page and read aloud in a passionate voice, "The tragic love story between the beautiful, kind, and resolute Princess Medea and the handsome, brave, yet vain and opportunistic Prince Jason."

Actually, the original text used the adjective "fierce" to describe Medea, but Shinji removed it from the beginning.

"This is..."

Medea flipped through the book Shinji had handed her. From the format of the play, she could tell it was a drama, and she was the protagonist.

Shinji bowed slightly, his face still bearing the innocent smile.

"This is an ancient traditional opera from neighboring China, called Hebei Bangzi."

"Is it really possible for someone to write a play from my perspective...?"

Medea gently stroked the opera script with her hand, as if she were caressing a priceless treasure.

Behind the moved Medea was Chloe, whose eyes were practically rolling back into cataracts.

Chapter 87 Shirou, the setting doesn't need to be so clear.

After summoning Caster Medea, Shinji handed her over to Touko and sent them off to study the relevant technology.

Medea was touched by Shinji's trust in her. She had originally thought that someone like Shinji, who looked like a playboy, would be cunning and manipulative, but she was surprised to find him to be so straightforward.

In reality, Second Master wasn't straightforward at all; he simply spoke to people in a way that suited them, and to ghosts in a way that suited them.

Having learned about Medea, he knew very well that although she was suspicious and sensitive, she would not betray him willingly as long as he was honest with her.

But if it were someone like Merlin, a con artist, then Shinji would probably have to outwit and outmaneuver him until the end of time.

After summoning Medea, Shinji did not summon any other Heroic Spirit.

It wasn't that the Second Master didn't want to, but that he didn't have any more sacred relics.

Caster Medea's relics were prepared two years ago when he was preparing for FSN; the relics of the other Heroic Spirit still need to be found.

It's already the second half of July, and after dominating the global film market for more than two months, the hype surrounding Fate/Zero has finally subsided.
