The Temptation Weber Can't Resist / Arcueid Brunestud, the Black Princess

At this moment, Waver appeared on the platform with Caules. Yuxian spotted his target, waved for the children to come back, and told Waver that important business was at hand.

The children obeyed Yuxian's instructions, let Olga Marie go, and left her side.

Olga Marie was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the children say to her, "You're still our hostage, you can't run away!"

"Yes, Mash- neechan didn't agree to let you leave, so you can't leave."

Olga Marie choked on her breath and almost vomited blood...

She realized she was being pestered and began to wonder when she had become so popular with children.

Yuxian slowly walked toward Lord El- Lord El-Melloi II, also known as Waver.

He started waving from afar, "Yo! Waver -chan, long time no see!"

This time it was Waver's turn to be dumbfounded...

Section 225, Chapter 4: Waver's Irresistible Temptation

Yuxian greeted Waver as if no one else was around, showing no regard for Waver's feelings, and even used a term of endearment like "jiang" (酱), which is used to address children.

Waver stared blankly at Yuxian, stammering, "Yu... Yu... Yu..."

"Yuxian!"

It is true that Chinese names are difficult for foreigners to remember, so it is quite remarkable that Waver could still remember Yuxian's surname.

"How did you get here?" Waver asked in surprise.

He looked intently at Yuxian's face, which was exactly the same as it had been ten years ago; time seemed to have stood still for him.

"If I told you we miss you, would you be happy?"

Yuxian walked over and put his arm around Waver's shoulder, behaving very intimately.

Waver smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Yuxian, please don't joke around. I don't think I'm someone you should miss."

Yuxian patted his shoulder forcefully and burst into laughter.

"How could we not remember Lord El-Melloi II, the Lord of the Department of Modern Magecraft of the Clock Tower!"

Upon seeing Yuxian, Caules was standing next to Waver, asked with considerable curiosity, "Is he an acquaintance of the teacher?"

Yuxian glanced at Caules; he knew who this man was: Dr. Hartless.

He rolled his eyes and deliberately said, "We ate together during the last Holy Grail War, and we're really good friends."

"Don't you think so, Waver?"

Waver fondly recalled that dinner party, the one where he sat next to Iskandar and raised a glass with him.

He nodded and said, "That was indeed an unforgettable experience."

A glint flashed in 'Caules' eyes. Another participant in the Holy Grail War.

Unaware of the expression on his disciple's face, Waver asked Yuxian, "What is your purpose in coming on this Eyeball Collection Train?"

He still believes that Yuxian came for the Mystic Eyes.

Yuxian feigned sadness and said, "We really came here to find you. What Waver said really hurts me."

Waver had no choice but to let Yuxian be.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out.

On the other side, Jack pulled off Gretel's hood, revealing her face clearly.

She looks very similar to Artoria, but that's all; she is Gretel, not Artoria.

Gretel hurriedly put her hood back on, covering her face.

"It really is Miss Gretel!"

Upon hearing the Gretel rhyme, Yuxian grabbed her and brought her to Gretel.

"Apologize!"

Gretel Rhyme retorted, "Why should I apologize? Jack did it, not me!"

Yuxian shook his head helplessly, "You were the one who encouraged it, weren't you? Should I ask Jack?"

Upon hearing this, Gretel immediately realized that she couldn't hide it anymore. She pouted and said, "We were just curious!"

"But your behavior confuses Gretel, and what you're doing is wrong."

In his Yuxian, he earnestly and seriously taught Gretel.

If it were Gretel from Chaldea, it would be one thing, since everyone is familiar with her, Yuxian wouldn't criticize their pranks so harshly.

But this is not Chaldea, and the Gretel in front of them is not the Gretel of Chaldea. What they are doing is very impolite.

As their guardian, Yuxian had to make them aware of this.

"Apologize!"

Gretel was still a bit hesitant and reluctant, Yuxian's voice became even more stern.

Gretel said, "It's alright..."

She is introverted and kind-hearted. When she saw Yuxian getting angry at Gretel, she started to defend Gretel instead.

Yuxian did not change his mind because of Gretel's words. His eyes remained fixed on Gretel, urging her to apologize to Gretel.

"Sorry..."

Gretel eventually gave in. Yuxian would often indulge their whims, but when he got angry, the children were still very afraid.

After Gretel apologized, Yuxian let her go, and the other children immediately came forward to pull Gretel away.

After this incident, Yuxian lost interest in continuing to tease Waver.

He said earnestly, "We really came here to ask for your help."

"Is there anything I can help with?"

Seeing that Yuxian's expression didn't seem fake, Waver asked seriously.

Yuxian said, "The Fifth Holy Grail War is about to begin. We are not familiar with London, so we hope you can help us get to Fuyuki City."

"Mr. Yuxian is going to participate in the Holy Grail War!?"

Waver was startled; he had always wanted to participate in this Holy Grail War and continue to summon Iskandar.

His purpose in coming to the Eyeball Collection Train this time was to retrieve the stolen relic, fragments of Iskandar's cloak.

Yuxian smiled and said, "I have no interest in the Holy Grail and will not participate in the Holy Grail War."

Why is that?

"I have a friend in Fuyuki City, and we're going there to help him."

Yuxian's words immediately angered Waver, who loudly questioned, "Are you going to decide the winner of the Holy Grail War again, just like last time?!"

"Don't you think this is going too far!?"

"They are all fighting for their ideals, and you are desecrating their battle!"

Yuxian pressed his hands down, signaling Waver to calm down and not get so agitated.

He said, "The Holy Grail War is nothing interesting. I just hope Fuyuki City can be a little calmer."

"You..."

Waver, in a fit of pique, refused to say anything more; he disagreed with Yuxian's ideas.

Yuxian had no choice but to use his trump card against Weber, as he needed Waver's help.

"If you're willing to help us, I might be able to get you a spot in the war."

Waver was startled, staring blankly at Yuxian.

"Don't look at me like that. You should know that I'm very familiar with the Fuyuki City's Three Great Families. The chances are great!"

Yuxian's voice echoed in Waver's ears like the whispers of a demon.

He gritted his teeth and nodded heavily, "Okay!"

Waver desperately wanted a spot in the Holy Grail War; he couldn't resist the temptation.

"That's more like it!" Yuxian said with a smile. "The train is about to leave. Let's get on. I've never been on the Eyeball Collection Train before. I'm sure I'll get to see it for myself this time."

He took two steps, turned back to look at 'Caules', and casually asked, "Caules, has your sister given up on the path of Magecraft?"

'Caules' nodded. "Yes, she didn't choose the path of Magecraft, even though her talent far surpasses mine."

"That's good. The path of Magus is not suitable for her."

Yuxian walked straight towards the train without looking back.

'Caules' seemed to be deep in thought. He was puzzled by Yuxian's identity. Judging from Yuxian's tone, he seemed to be very familiar with the real Caules's sister.

"Should we go and investigate?" 'Caules' pondered.

"Let's not alert them yet." In the end, he decided to complete the plan at hand first.

He became wary of Yuxian, a person he had not anticipated in his preparations, and whose identity was very likely to be exposed as a result.

'Caules' became more cautious...

Chapter 5, Section 226: The Black Princess Altrouge

The doors of the Eyeball Collection Train opened, and everyone began to board.

There were staff members checking invitations at the entrance; each person invited was allowed to bring two attendants.

Then another question arises.

Although Yuxian had an invitation, he brought far more than two attendants with him.

"Sir, you may only bring two attendants on board."

The waiter politely reminded Yuxian, but resolutely refused to let Yuxian get on the bus.

He then pointed to Fou on Mash's shoulder, "And please put away your familiar; it's disturbing the other guests."

"It's not a familiar, it's a pet."

"Pets are not allowed on the bus, please understand."

Yuxian was stopped at the train door and unable to board the train, which made him very frustrated.

On the other side, Olga Marie looked over triumphantly when she saw Yuxian being stopped.

She seemed to be saying: You can't even get on the bus, let's see how you kidnap me.

Yuxian sighed and had no choice but to say, "I know your manager. See if you can make an exception for me."

He certainly didn't know Rita Roseanne; he was just saying it casually to see if he could get in. He was unwilling to leave like this.

"Please wait a moment."

Upon hearing that Yuxian knew their manager, the waiter immediately went to inquire.

Soon the train conductor Rohan, came out.

He said very politely, "Please come in, sir. It was our people who neglected you."

Yuxian blinked, thinking: So we really got in? He was still wondering whether to use unconventional methods.

However, he didn't dwell on the issue anymore; as long as he could get on the bus, he didn't care about the reason.

The waiter led them to a room in the carriage, which was very nicely furnished, comparable to a high-end hotel.

Yuxian threw himself onto the bed. "Let's rest for a bit. It's all Da Vinci's fault. Otherwise, we'd be enjoying Emiya's cooking right now!"

He was still annoyed that Da Vinci had ruined his Fuyuki City tourism plans.

The children were very excited about their first train ride.
