A Single Summon for Solomon

What is that?

Angra Mainyu wanted to find out the reason.

When his gaze fell upon the door Abigail had opened, and as he looked along the door to the other side, he seemed to see countless worlds, their dazzling brilliance causing him to lose himself instantly.

His mind was twisted.

Angra Mainyu disappeared, the Black Mud disappeared, and the door disappeared at the same time. The entire Great Chasm became quiet again, and breathing could be heard.

"Abby... are you alright...?"

The children looked at Abigail with concern and asked cautiously.

There was no response.

After a long time, they heard Abby sobbing softly not far away.

The children rushed over and saw Abigail squatting on the ground, hugging her knees, her head buried and crying secretly.

"Abby, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"

"Abby."

"Abby ..."

The children surrounded her, concerned for her well-being, afraid that something might be wrong with her.

"Wow!"

Abigail suddenly burst into tears, sobbing loudly, "Did Abby do something bad just now? Will you all hate Abby? Waaah..."

Little Jeanne quickly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and comforted her, saying, "We're good friends, how could I dislike you?"

"Real?"

"Of course it's true! I'm so glad you're okay. I was really scared just now."

Gretel, who was usually very bold, patted her chest, looking like she was still in shock.

Illya stepped forward, bowed her head, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Abby, I almost got you into trouble just now."

Abigail stopped crying when she saw that everyone still considered her a good friend.

She wiped away her tears and said, "I'm fine."

"Let's go, let's go. This place isn't fun at all. Let's go home as soon as possible."

The children were so frightened that they had no desire to continue playing and decided to go home early.

"Thank you, child."

Just as they decided to leave, a voice came from the Great Chasm, once again interrupting their thoughts of going home.

"Who is it!"

This time, their expressions turned grim, and they glared angrily.

What had just happened had put them in a bad mood, so their tone was particularly rude.

"Huh? You look just like Miss Irisviel."

After seeing the speaker's face clearly, the children looked at each other in bewilderment. Who was this?

"I am Justeaze Ritzleich von Einzbern."

The speaker was none other than the Winter Saintess Justeza.

She was the head of the Einzbern Family when she planned the Greater Grail, and she was willing to be a living sacrifice for the Greater Grail in order to realize her ideals.

Her consciousness remained at the core of the Greater Grail, but due to Angra Mainyu's corruption, the Greater Grail became unworthy of its name.

Now, thanks to Abigail's accidental discovery, Angra Mainyu has disappeared, and her consciousness has been restored.

"Illya, she is a member of your Einzbern Family."

Upon hearing the Saint of Winter's self-introduction, the children all looked at Illya, who shared the same surname as Illya.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" they asked in a friendly manner.

Since they were from the Einzbern Family, the children were relieved; they were not enemies.

"You destroyed Angra Mainyu and restored the Holy Grail to its original state. I thank you for that."

The Saint of Winter's voice was gentle, yet it sounded somewhat ethereal in the Great Chasm.

"Where is the Greater Grail? We've been searching for it for a long time but haven't found it."

The children were a little disappointed that they hadn't seen the Greater Grail, and now that they've met the Saint of Winter, they can ask her about it.

The Saint of Winter replied, "The Greater Grail is a True Magic circle composed of many complex spells, and its core is inside the altar beneath my feet."

"No wonder we couldn't find it; it was indeed hidden." The children suddenly realized.

The Saint of Winter asked, "What is your wish in searching for the Greater Grail? Perhaps I can help you."

Little Jeanne said honestly, "We were just curious and wanted to see what the Greater Grail looked like."

"Can the Greater Grail really grant any wish?"

The Saint of Winter shook her head. "The essence of the Greater Grail is the Third Magic, 'Soul Materialization.' Its mechanism for fulfilling wishes is through immense magical power, so wishes that exceed its limits cannot be fulfilled."

"Oh, that doesn't seem to help much."

After learning about the mechanics of the Greater Grail, the children realized that it wasn't very useful to them.

"Wait a minute!" Gretel's eyes lit up; she had thought of something interesting again.

She asked the Saint of Winter, "Could you let us participate in this Holy Grail War as well?"

Before the Saint of Winter could answer, the others chimed in, "Alice, we don't want to participate in the Holy Grail War. It's no fun at all."

"Yeah, the Holy Grail War isn't fun. Let's go home."

Gretel rhymes beckon, gathering friends together.

She whispered her thoughts to everyone.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" someone questioned.

"What's wrong with it? It's fun, okay!" Gretel insisted. "Besides, it doesn't conflict with Master's plan at all, so it definitely won't make him angry."

The others thought about it and agreed.

"Let's discuss what to do next."

Section 251, Chapter 30: Single Draw Solomon

The children said goodbye to Justeaze and prepared to go home.

This time, they finally emerged from the Great Chasm and encountered no further problems.

They walked happily toward the Matou Family.

They continued discussing what had just happened along the way.

"Should we tell the Master about this?"

"Of course not, do you want to get scolded?"

"I also think we shouldn't. Anyway, nothing's happened to us, so let's just pretend nothing happened."

"What about the Holy Grail War? They didn't even tell the Master?"

"This is even more unspeakable; it wouldn't be funny if I told you."

The children decided to keep it a secret and surprise Yuxian later.

For them, the Holy Grail War is just a game. Who wins doesn't matter; what matters is that it's fun, interesting, and enjoyable.

On the other side, Waver looked at the Command Spells that appeared on the back of his hand, his excitement overwhelming him.

"Finally... finally..."

His heart was in turmoil. With the Command Spells and the Fragment of Iskandar's Cloak, he believed he could summon the King of Conquerors again and see the king he had always longed for once more.

Seeing Waver's excited state, Yuxian didn't disturb him and smiled gently.

It would be a wonderful thing to be able to help him fulfill his wish.

Yuxian is very willing to help with such a small favor.

Congratulations, teacher.

Gretel gently congratulated Waver, and she was also happy for her teacher.

Lainis pursed her lips, somewhat disdainful of Waver's attitude, but secretly a little envious of her older brother.

Having goals, having something to look forward to, and slowly working towards achieving them—anyone would feel a touch of envy for that.

Melvin laughed and patted Waver on the shoulder, "We need to celebrate, Waver... gulp..."

He vomited blood again halfway through his sentence, but he had already conveyed his meaning, and everyone knew what he was going to say.

"Ah!!!--"

Just as everyone was congratulating Waver, a scream rang out.

Olga Marie looked at her right hand with an incredulous expression.

A bright red Command Spells slowly appeared on the back of her hand; she had been chosen to be the Master of this Holy Grail War.

"This..."

Everyone was stunned; this situation was completely unexpected and too sudden.

Despite the great effort put into securing a spot for Waver, Olga Marie unexpectedly obtained the Master qualification so easily.

This stark contrast immediately dampened the joy she had just felt.

There is no harm without comparison.

"Teresa, we need to move out right now."

Olga Marie made a quick decision to leave the Matou Family mansion and no longer live there.

She is now a participant in this Holy Grail War and does not want to live with anyone else anymore.

"Olga Marie, do you want to be an enemy of everyone?!"

Lainis frowned. She had been spending more time with Olga Marie these past few days, and their relationship had gradually become closer.

Olga Marie's decision to become their enemy was something she found hard to accept.

Teresa quickly spoke up to explain for Olga Marie, "Don't worry, we won't be enemies, but now that little Marie has become Master, it's a bit inconvenient for her to stay here any longer."

"I think it would be best for Lord El-Melloi II to move out as well. As Mr. Yuxian said, we don't know what kind of Servant we will summon, or what kind of personalities they will have. Living together will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble."

Yuxian nodded. Teresa's considerations were clearly quite thorough, and her words were accepted by everyone.

Furthermore, Yuxian wasn't too worried that Olga Marie would cause trouble. Her individual power was limited, unless she had the explosive luck of her father and single-handedly defeated Solomon.

Summoning the King of Magecraft Solomon without any relics is simply wishful thinking.

"You'd better think carefully about Servant you want to summon; not all Servant are so easy to talk to."

Yuxian agreed to let them move out and act according to their own wishes, but he still gave them advice.

He didn't want to end up cleaning up their mess.

"Also, the Greater Grail has been corrupted, so don't expect to make a wish upon it after winning a victory."

He had to emphasize this point, so that they would abandon such unrealistic expectations and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"I will inform the King of this!"

Waver nodded seriously, as if he were certain that he could summon the King of Conquerors, and began to fulfill his duties as a subject.
