Aoko Sajou, Whose Thoughts Have Turned Albedo-esque (Continued)

Seeing that Hiroki Sajou was questioning Mo Yi repeatedly, Aika became somewhat dissatisfied. Looking at her father, she said, "I have seen everything. Why should Lord Mo Yi waste his breath deceiving you?"

"The Greater Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is indeed filled with malevolent magic."

"You..."

When Aika said that, Hiroki Sajou almost had a heart attack. Didn't this prove that Mo Yi was right, that his daughter really was connected to the ultimate pursuit of all magicians in legend— the Root?

It felt like I had worked hard and struggled for years, hoping to leave an inheritance to my daughter, only to be told by her that she had become the world's richest person years ago—it was like a complete fantasy.

With mixed feelings, Hiroki Sajou looked at his daughter, whom he had never understood before, and said, "Aika, why have you never told me about this?"

Sajou Aika looked at her father with a strange expression, but with her usual warm smile, she asked, "You've never asked this question before, so why should I say something so obvious?"

Hiroki Sajo: "..."

My daughter's words made a lot of sense, and I was speechless... what a load of rubbish!

If he hadn't summoned this unknown heroic spirit, he probably would never have discovered this fact in his entire life. In fact, who would have thought that his own son was actually the world's richest man?

Hiroki Sajou's feelings were very complicated at this moment. He felt proud and gratified of his daughter, who had possessed what magicians had been pursuing since birth. However, he also felt a bit of fear, both towards his daughter and Mo Yi.

If it weren't for what happened tonight, how much longer would I have been 'deceived' by my daughter? In her eyes, I would probably be like a clown, constantly pursuing her and trying to lead her down the path of seeking the root of the problem. But she has had everything since birth. Isn't that ridiculous?

Mo Yi could also see the complicated feelings of Sajou Hiroki at this moment, but he still chose to tell the truth, both to increase his trust and to complete the task of redeeming Sajou Aika.

Even family members cannot understand each other; it's like a ghost living in the world. How easy is it to redeem the other person?

Hmm, after entering the Moon World, Mo Yi noticed a progress bar called Redemption in his quest log. The current progress was 23%. To complete the quest, he needed to get the progress bar to 100%. As for the outcome of the Holy Grail War, it wouldn't affect the game's outcome.

Hiroki Sajou clearly needed some time to Jingjing, so Mo Yi continued, "I am not a Heroic Spirit of this world. Although I don't know if Aika can revive the dead, even if she can, it would probably come at a great cost. After all, in the Moon World —yes, this is the world I'm referring to—there exists something called the Counter Force, which is responsible for maintaining the balance of power between humanity and the world. Reviving the dead would obviously violate the fundamental laws of the world."

"As far as I know, the only feasible way to truly resurrect the dead right now is the Fifth Magic, Blue. The price is the consumption of the universe's total energy. Therefore, once it is used, it will inevitably be met with hostility from the world. This is the case with Aozaki Aoko, the successor of the Fifth Magic. She is probably still wandering around the world to repay the price of using the Fifth Magic."

Hiroki Sajou, an unknown magician, was no match for Mo Yi, who had read the script. His attention was immediately drawn to the secrets Mo Yi revealed.

"Of course, the Third Magic is also possible, but it requires the soul to still be intact."

Mo Yi didn't give Sajou Hiroki much time to think. After all, his real target was Sajou Aika. As for Sajou Hiroki, he just wanted to do his best and be true to his conscience. The other party wasn't his father-in-law. Being a sycophant would only lead to nothing.

"Because I have traveled through many worlds to get here, and due to the limitations such as the Counter Force, I can only exert about one hundred millionth of my original power now, which is roughly equivalent to a top-tier Heroic Spirit."

"My goal does not conflict with yours. My goal is the Third Magic: Soul Materialization. As long as the Holy Grail needs to manifest, I have a way to obtain it. As for who makes the wish, there is no conflict. Of course, with such Black Grail, whoever makes the wish will suffer a tragedy."

Mo Yi continued to confuse everyone, dispelling their doubts. After all, to complete the mission, everyone had to be of one mind. Otherwise, like the other Holy Grail participants, if the master and servant were not on good terms, what would be the point of fighting?

Of course, Mo Yi's main task was not simply to break the cup.

"But--"

Upon hearing this change of topic, Hiroki Sajou couldn't help but look at Mo Yi.

"When I obtain the Third Magic, I will be able to use power beyond the limits and combine it with the power of the Third Magic to help you fulfill your wish. However, once I release the restrictions (Limit Release Mode), this Servant body will inevitably Honkai."

Hiroki Sajou, who was almost in despair and hesitating about whether to ask his daughter to revive his wife but was also conflicted about the consequences, suddenly felt a renewed hope after hearing what Mo Yi said.

In this way, as long as he helps the other party obtain the Holy Grail, just as he had planned, he can resurrect his wife.

Unsure whether the other party was lying to him, Hiroki Sajo could only turn to his eldest daughter, Aika, who was more trustworthy than Mo Yi.

Feeling her father's gaze, Ayaka Aika nodded.

"I have never tried to resurrect the dead, but such a taboo thing must require a lot of sacrifice to achieve."

After saying that, Sajo Aika looked at Mo Yi with admiration and said, "As for Lord Mo Yi's words, Father, you don't need to doubt them. You are a being who transcends the origin. Even I, who am connected to the origin, cannot even glimpse a little of your greatness. You have no reason to lie or deceive us."

Mo Yi: "..."

Hearing Green Song's words, which were no longer Dihua Albedo-fied, Mo Yi felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that his skin was not thick enough.

However, Mo Yi was not lying. If he could complete the mission requirements and redeem Sajou Aika before leaving the Moon World, he could obtain the Third Magic. Then, by using the Limit Release Mode of Time Guardian Kieran, he could gain the ability to travel between worlds, thus returning to the past, reclaiming the soul of Sajou Hiroki's wife, and reviving her with the Third Magic.

This can be considered as repaying the other party for summoning him.

"If that's the case, there's only one answer—"

After hearing what his eldest daughter said, Hiroki Sajou finally made up his mind. He stood up, bowed to Mo Yi, and said, "My lord, the Sajou lineage will pledge allegiance to you and do everything in our power to help you achieve your goal!"

Mo Yi: "..."

When do I need your loyalty?!

Did you think I was going to say something like, "Humans are so interesting, I'll just hold off on destroying them for now"?

Well, at least it's a good start. Feeling a bit tired Mo Yi had no choice but to accept it.

After establishing trust and a master-servant relationship, the group discussed strategies for the Holy Grail War in the living room.

In fact, most of the time, Mo Yi was listening as Hiroki Sajou explained his plans, and Sajou Aika, who had previously activated her omniscient powers and knew most of the information, supplemented the explanations.

Mo Yi would often say a few words, either to Hiroki Sajou, "I understand, sir is indeed far-sighted, and then he would go on and on," or to Aika, "I understand too, as expected of Lord Mo Yi, he can easily think of things that we can't think of, and then he would go on and on with his imagination."

In the end, Mo Yi was speechless. He resisted the urge to yell "You guys don't know anything!" and could only Jingjing watch the father and daughter argue and speculate.

As for Ayaka Sajou, who hasn't taken off her glasses yet and has become Mary Sue, she can only listen to everyone talking incomprehensible and impressive words while being responsible for serving tea, changing shifts, and sitting idly as a bystander.

After more than an hour of discussion, this strange and awkward meeting finally came to an end.

Mo Yi, led by Sajo Aika, went to the room arranged for him. After entering the room, Mo Yi called out to Sajo Aika.

"Aika, come to my room and lie down after you're done with your work."

Saya Aika, who was already feeling a little reluctant to leave and wondering how the room had been cleaned up so quickly, felt much better after hearing this. Her fair face, which had finally returned to normal, blushed again for some reason, and she quickly nodded and said, "No problem, I'll be there soon!"

Goodnight, Lord Mo Yi—

After saying that, he bowed slightly and turned to leave. Just from the sound of his footsteps on the floor, one could tell that he was in a very good mood.

Mo Yi: "..."

Why do I feel so tired even though the Holy Grail War hasn't even started yet?

As Ayaka Aika summoned Mo Yi, the other Holy Grail War participants also summoned their corresponding Servants.

For example, the Fuyuki starter Pokémon, who participate in the Holy Grail War on time every year, fail every time, and gain nothing but money and deaths.

In the Einstein family, Emiya Kiritsugu, Partner of Justice, placed the Avalon, Holy Relic prepared by the Einstein, in front of the Summoning Array and recited a useless summoning incantation!
