"Huh? Is that even possible?" X2
Mordred and Sora were both stunned by this explanation.
How can a Heroic Spirit who has no desire for the Holy Grail be summoned as a Servant?
This was something they hadn't even considered.
After all, the summoning incantation states that only heroic spirits that respond to the call will descend.
Of course, they didn't know that certain relics could actually be summoned by a specific person.
For example, in this edition, besides Einzbern's Avalon, there are others such as Weber stealing Iskandar's hem from Kenneth, and Tokiomi Tohsaka's ancient serpent shedding its skin.
These are basically artifacts for summoning specific characters. As for which version will be summoned in the end, or whether it will correspond to a character's substitute, it's hard to say.
The Lion King raised an eyebrow: "Is there a problem with this?"
"No! As long as you're happy, then we'll take our leave. Remember to contact us if you need anything."
Sora snapped out of her daze, forcing a smile as she grabbed Mordred, said goodbye, and then dragged Mordred away quickly, lest he cause any more trouble if they stayed any longer.
This left the three people on the other side somewhat bewildered.
……
"What were you doing again? Honestly, you almost scared me to death."
On the way back to her accommodation, Sora complained to herself in exasperation.
She was genuinely afraid that Mordred might have another moment of despair and defect to the enemy.
"Sorry, I just couldn't resist my curiosity."
Mordred knew what Sora was worried about, and although it was a little inappropriate for her to say it, she had some ideas that were indeed demoralizing.
Without waiting for Sora's lecture, Mordred patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't do it again next time. After all, I already know her background, so I can act without hesitation."
Since the Lion King didn't agree, it means she had no regrets in her life, which is a good thing.
Then, if I wished to make my father become like that, I wouldn't feel any psychological burden.
"That would be for the best, and to face her, we'll have to see how things go against the Tohsaka family tonight."
Seeing this, Sora didn't bother to say anything more.
I just feel worried about the future, and I really don't know if my decision was right or wrong.
'Forget it, I don't want to think about it. It would be best if I could win, but if not, I'll just go back and obediently marry Kenneth.'
Sora had thus planned out his escape route.
After this experience, she realized that Kenneth truly loved her. If she had told him about her troubles, Kenneth would have helped her. She had just kept her grievances bottled up inside.
After we get back, we need to make it up to him properly.
If Kenneth knew what Sora was thinking now, he would be overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, after all this, he ended up winning the goddess's favor despite doing nothing. How wonderful!
"Ugh! Mine, whether it's that Caster or the hidden Archer, they're all easy targets in front of Lord Mordred. He can take them down in no time."
"That's right, that's the kind of momentum we're looking for."
The two continued walking and disappeared around the corner of the street, completely unaware that a beautiful blonde woman with red eyes, carrying large bags and small packages, walked out of the clothing store behind them.
"I think I overheard some very interesting conversation."
She was none other than Archer, the enthusiastic citizen Ms. Jin who was out for a stroll and shopping spree!
...Please customize...
Chapter 78 Two kings, one magician, and one grand magician—how could this dream team possibly lose?
"Interesting. So the alliance has been exposed? They've formed an alliance and are preparing for a decisive battle with us tonight."
Recalling the words she had vaguely heard, Mother Shanshan came to this conclusion.
"Well, it would be nice to keep it a secret and see how surprised Maren and the little brat are, but that would also affect me and be a bit dangerous. So I'll just tell him. Anyway, it would be nice to see Saber and the others' shocked expressions."
With a haughty air, Mother found a reason to convince herself, threw the things she had just bought into the treasure vault, ended her short 'stroll,' and turned to go back to the Tohsaka family home.
Upon arriving at the Tohsaka residence, Gilgamesh discovered that Marn and Nero were still holed up in their room and hadn't come out yet.
I was furious, but there was nothing I could do but wait.
Then, noon passed, and Ma and Eng still hadn't come out.
During this time, Tokiomi Tohsaka prepared lunch, but even Touko Aozaki refused it, let alone Gilgamesh, whose appetite had become even more discerning.
One of them is a heroic spirit, so he doesn't need to eat much. The other is a puppet, so although he has the same physiological structure as a normal person, he can skip a few meals without any problem.
Feeling disgusted and helpless, Tokiomi Tohsaka could only silently eat alone.
Damn it! My cooking skills are pretty good too!
It wasn't until evening that Marx and Nero came out of the room.
The two of them were completely clean, as if nothing had happened.
Nero's face was slightly flushed, and his steps were a little unsteady.
As for Marx and Engels, they were completely unaffected, and even seemed full of energy.
joke!
He can even handle Tiamat, the mother goddess of creation, so how could he not deal with Nero, a newcomer to the world?
Don't get me wrong, he just touched Nero's arm. The young girl was a little nervous as she was just starting out, so he comforted her.
After Nero had a good rest, he kept looking at the materials. He managed to read about 30% of the materials on the Runeji disk, and together with what he had read before, he had finished half of it.
The completion rate of the fantasy construction has increased by two percentage points, reaching [%].
It must be said that this result is very encouraging, and it is expected to break through [%] after reading it.
Just when I was in a good mood, my mother, Shanshan, blocked my way.
"You guys still dare to come out! Don't you even know what time it is?!"
Looking at his mother Shanshan, who had a murderous look on her face, Ma En asked, somewhat confused, "What's wrong?"
At the same time, I wondered if this girl was having her period, because she was so irritable.
"What else?! People are about to attack! And you're still playing house here!"
The mother, Shanshan, seemed to be venting her anger at being left out, and she grabbed the two of them and started cursing them out.
Upon hearing the opening line, "The enemy is about to come knocking," the two, somewhat unaware of the situation, did not argue but listened quietly, waiting for their mother, Shan Shan, to calm down.
It wasn't until after a while, when Mother Shanshan finally ran out of words to curse and kept yelling incoherently, "You bastard! You bastard!" that Ma En finally asked, "So, what exactly happened?"
"...huh~"
Niang Shanshan finally stopped, let out a breath, and calmed her breathing before telling her the information she had heard from Saber when she ran into her while shopping that morning.
"That's it?"
Maren's first reaction was, "Are you kidding me?"
Are you this nervous just because the enemy is coming for a decisive battle?!
Please! He is the King of Heroes! The Ancient King! The King of Humanity who led humanity in rebellion against the gods during the Age of Gods!
For such a small commotion, you've made such a big reaction; anyone who didn't know better would think the sky was falling!
And isn't it expected that the final enemy would form an alliance and launch a general offensive against us?
and also!
Why don't you take a look at the current combat strength of our side?
Nero and your mother Gilgamesh, both kings, are top-tier Servants.
Add to that the overpowered magician, Marne, and the Grand Magician, Aozaki Touko, who suddenly appears in the story.
This is such a phenomenal group! Tell me, how could they possibly lose?!
What about the other side?
Aside from the Lion King posing some threat, Mordred is about on par with Nero in terms of strength.
The only threat, the Lion King, is no longer a threat after Marne obtained one of her Command Seals.
In this situation, even if the other side forms an alliance, it won't make a difference; they'll still be easy prey.
"..."
Niang Shanshan was speechless for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Okay, she admits that she did take the opportunity to vent her frustrations on Ma En, but who could blame her for being such a despicable bastard? He was just too infuriating!
Therefore, she wouldn't think she was wrong, humph!
"Fine, whatever makes you happy. Do the others know?" En didn't bother arguing with her anymore, switched to combat mode, and began to sort out the current situation.
Niang Shanshan said nonchalantly, "No, I only told you."
"You... never mind, I'll go find Tokiomi. You guys call Orange and wait at the restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Marx and Engels felt a wave of frustration.
She understood that her mother was really angry and was going to wait and see when he would come out. If he didn't come out, she would simply stop talking and watch him make a fool of himself.
At the same time, I was a little speechless.
He thought that by guiding Kirei Kotomine and stabilizing his mother Gilgamesh, he had helped Tokiomi.
In retrospect, this has actually harmed Tokiomi. As a Master, he barely communicates with his Servants, and information is not being passed on.
Moreover, he has become increasingly invisible at this place, constantly avoiding any appearance of impropriety, often hiding far away by himself, not daring to disturb his interactions with them.
He's nothing like his former high-spirited self, who single-handedly led the Holy Grail War in the League; instead, he seems like an insignificant nobody.
This is because Marx and Engels still had some principles; otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have simply kicked him aside and taken over the position.
They found Tokiomi Tohsaka in Marx's study, informed him of the alliance between the remaining two enemy groups, and then hurriedly led him to the dining room.
After preparing a sumptuous dinner, Ma Encai said while eating, "As you all know, the remaining two groups of masters and servants have formed an alliance and will be here soon. Please share your opinions."
