Dating Caster

It is just like that.

"A bottom line, is it..."

Wang Xiaoming looked thoughtful at Kayneth's words.

"If I thought your name was tacky and forced you to change it, would you actually go and change it?"

"How is that even possible..."

Wang Xiaoming looked at Kayneth with an absurd expression; he never expected someone as arrogant as Kayneth to use such a bizarre analogy.

"Therefore--"

Kayneth looked at Wang Xiaoming and said in a serious tone:

"This is a bottom line, one that absolutely cannot be changed by others."

Hmmmm.

I'll just lift Kayneth up for a moment.

Let's leave the protagonist's name as it is. Readers who enjoy the book, please continue to look forward to the protagonist's development.

Fuyuki Amusement Park

The next day, Three people were in the room: Wang Xiaoming, Medea, and Shirou.

"So, Shirou, what are your thoughts?"

After waking up in the morning and waiting for Shirou to finish the morning lessons assigned by Medea, Wang Xiaoming called him over to ask about the transfer of the Command Spell.

"I have no objections."

Shirou nodded obediently and agreed.

Shirou's answer made Wang Xiaoming breathe a sigh of relief. Under the pen of Fate, that clumsy scriptwriter, Shirou was already carrying many burdens that should not belong to someone of his age.

At an age where he should have been spending his childhood carefree, Shirou was now like a prematurely mature little adult...

"Since Shirou has no objections--"

A strange short blade suddenly appeared in Medea's right hand. To call it a short blade was a stretch; it was actually just a dagger with ornate decorations and a bizarre shape.

The double-folded, lightning-shaped blade tip looked more like a saw than a dagger.

The termination of the contract between Master and Servant did not cause much of a stir. Medea merely used the dagger in her hand to lightly graze Shirou's chest--

"Rule Breaker."

After softly chanting the name of the Noble Phantasm in her hand, Medea glanced at Wang Xiaoming. Wang Xiaoming tactfully extended his right hand, and with his sharp eyes, he happened to catch Medea's slightly furrowed brows.

It seemed that during this process, Medea, as a Servant, did not have an easy time cutting off the magical energy supply.

Let's end this quickly--

"Hiss!"

The pain that Shirou had once experienced was now felt in its entirety by Wang Xiaoming.

It felt as if he had been touched directly by a branding iron, the pain making cold sweat pour down.

Immediately after--

Wang Xiaoming felt as if a switch inside his body had been flipped.

A cold sensation started from his right arm, traveled up to his shoulder, and then followed his spine all the way down. Accompanying the cold was another indescribable pain, as if he were being pricked by ten thousand needles.

This is the [price] of magecraft--

A process that every magus must experience.

Whether they are excellent or mediocre, as long as the practitioner is human, and as long as they use magecraft with a human body, they will forever be accompanied by this pain.

The pain spread throughout his body as magical energy filled him, feeling like the biting of countless venomous snakes.

Three dark red emblems gradually emerged on the back of Wang Xiaoming's hand. As the pain intensified, the dark red emblems quickly turned a vivid crimson.

As the color of the Command Spell finished shifting, it signaled that the ritual for Wang Xiaoming and Medea to re-establish their contract was successfully completed.

With the formation of the Command Spell, Wang Xiaoming could clearly sense an inexplicable connection between himself and Medea, and the Servant's information flowed into his mind along with the establishment of the contract.

Class: Caster
True Name: Medea
Gender: Female
Height/Weight: 163cm / 51kg
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Strength: E
Endurance: D
Agility: D

Mana: A+

Luck: B

Noble Phantasm: C

As a Caster, Medea saw all her other attribute values drop by a rank due to Wang Xiaoming's amateur-level magecraft, with the exceptions of her Mana and her own Noble Phantasm.

However, Medea held no complaints about this; she had already anticipated this outcome before the Command Spell was transferred—

"Then, I look forward to working with you from now on, Master."

Looking at Wang Xiaoming, Medea blinked her eyes and chuckled softly.

Fuyuki Amusement Park—

Located in Shinto, Fuyuki City, this urban recreational facility was built by a company from Tokyo, commissioned by the Fuyuki municipal government.

(Fake)

The amusement facilities equipped in this park could rival even the few top-tier parks found in Tokyo.

(I made that up)

Therefore, when it opened half a year ago, this place quickly became a holy land for young people on dates and children looking to play.

(Take it as the truth)

Even now, in the cold winter season, the stream of people coming to the amusement park was endless.

Except for—

"This ticket price..."

Staring at the ticket price displayed in front of him, Wang Xiaoming's heart twitched painfully.

This price was enough to equal more than half a month of his wages.

But there was no helping it—

"Two adult tickets, two child tickets."

Wang Xiaoming almost pulled the 40,000 yen from his wallet with tears in his eyes. After taking the tickets from the window, he hurried away from the counter, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from wrecking the place.

As he left, Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but grumble:

With prices like these, it's tough enough just trying to take two kids out for a day!

"Mister, over here!"

Little Shirou, spotting Wang Xiaoming looking around in the crowd, jumped up and waved his hand, shouting.

"Why did you drag us so far away, kid? I almost couldn't find you guys."

Wang Xiaoming jogged over and vigorously ruffled the boy's hair.

"Stop messing up my hair, Mister."

Shirou, having finally struggled free from Wang Xiaoming's [assault], couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, let's get moving."

Waving the tickets in his hand, Wang Xiaoming gestured to Shirou: "Otherwise, don't come crying to me about being tired when we're waiting in line later."

This outing was a rather last-minute decision.

The pressure from the previous day's events hadn't fully faded for Wang Xiaoming yet, so he decided to take advantage of the daylight to bring Medea and Shirou out to relax.

While asking Kariya about other places to visit in Fuyuki, he happened to see Sakura. After obtaining Kariya's permission, the group of four—Wang Xiaoming, Medea, Sakura, and Shirou—was formed.

"You could have just bought three tickets earlier; I could have easily entered in my spirit form."

Perhaps due to the mysterious connection between a Servant and their Master, Medea had sensed Wang Xiaoming's subtle heartache over the money.

"Don't say such a buzzkill thing at a time like this."

Wang Xiaoming waved his hand, forcing an expression of indifference toward the cost:

"The tickets are already bought; all we need to do now is go in and have a good time with the two kids. Besides..."

Wang Xiaoming paused slightly, causing Medea to glance at him sideways.

"You've been using your own stored mana for every battle so far, and it must have been tough having to worry about Little Shirou's mana supply during the fights as well."

"..."

"I'm well aware of my own talent for magecraft. Even though I've become your Master, I'm completely unable to help when it comes to supplying mana."

Wang Xiaoming looked at the crowd in the distance and scratched his cheek. Whether out of embarrassment or something else, he couldn't quite meet Medea's eyes:

"So... keeping you in a good mood is the only thing I can do for now."

"Pfft—"

Seeing Wang Xiaoming like this, Medea couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.

"I'm feeling a bit tired today as well, so why don't we just take a good rest."

Medea said this as she took the lead, walking toward the amusement park entrance where Shirou and Sakura had already been waiting for a while.

As Wang Xiaoming and his group passed through the ticket gate and entered the amusement park, a Mercedes-Benz outside the park "drifted" into the parking lot with a screech of tires.
