Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 198

Roland had been pondering a question for a long time: what did he mean to this simulated star chart?

Is he a successor or a tool?

But he couldn't do without it, which is why Roland wouldn't bring up the issue. Moreover, he valued using his brain to handle things more than strength; strength was just an auxiliary tool, which he still needed to use, but he couldn't rely on too much for it.

However, after obtaining this identity...

"I feel relieved..."

"After all, this identity was given to me directly, so I won't be a tool anymore. Besides, even if I am the inheritor, I am now one with it."

"The true name of the simulated star chart will directly affect my identity, so the power of this simulated star chart is my power."

This is the true meaning of the identity of the ultimate human trial for Roland.

With these thoughts in mind, Roland returned to the Type-Moon world with Gaia and 5.9 Alaya. The two of them went back to take care of their own affairs, while Roland returned to his home and opened his eyes.

Roland is now a god, so he doesn't need to sleep.

So after getting up, Roland tidied himself up a bit and went out.

He was going to find Artoria and talk to her about Mordred.

Artoria, who also possesses a divine body and doesn't need sleep, recalled the events that occurred when Roland returned and was with Hundred Faces after hearing that Roland would be coming over that evening...

Thinking of this, even Artoria blushed a little. The knight, who was usually decisive, resolute, and full of heroic spirit, lowered her head and revealed a somewhat cute side, with her ahoge (cowlick) swaying incessantly. Even Artoria would feel shy about such things.

"It's my turn!"

....

152. Could it be that Lord Roland can talk to the Counter Force?

As Roland headed toward Artoria's location, he didn't rush. Instead, he used the time to contact Chaldea.

Upon learning that the communication technique was sent by Roland, Director Marisbury immediately put aside his work and answered Roland's questions.

Throughout the process, he was extremely respectful and spoke very carefully.

After all, their statuses have completely changed since their last conversation.

If Roland were just an investor, then Maris wouldn't be in this situation, but Roland is now the king of the underworld in the Type-Moon universe... especially since Maris is also a member of the Mage's Association and the celestial monarch of the Clock Tower!

He was even more respectful to Roland.

Maris really took this matter seriously, but unfortunately Roland hadn't specifically inquired about the situation beforehand, leaving Maris unprepared and his answer not very fluent.

However, he didn't have any problems with the part that Roland cared about most, and Roland still got the answer he wanted.

That means Chaldea is almost done too.

The technology of spirit transfer is already quite mature. Roland's plan to bring Artoria back to Britain, based on the progress, can probably begin around the time he returns from Parallel World 05.

However, Maris also has some problems of his own.

"Lord Roland, the spirit transfer technology is fine, but I'm still a little worried about the Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique... After all, according to Lady Medea and the others, the technique for summoning Heroic Spirits seems to be a decisive technique of suppression... Is it really okay for us to use it casually?"

“It’s certainly not good to use them casually. After all, those heroic spirits have different personalities. Most of them don’t like to be restrained and are quite rebellious. If you just summon such a guy to the modern world, the impact will definitely be huge.”

Roland, who started recruiting Heroic Spirits from the Fifth World War, is particularly experienced in this area.

Therefore, unless Roland is in a hurry to spend a large amount of enhancement points on himself, he will not summon heroic spirits casually in the modern world.

It's troublesome to arrange, and recruiting them all as members of the divine group is not feasible. As for recruiting them from the gods... even if we don't have to be so forceful, if we really need them to fight, then let Alaya and Gaia gather them. Would they not listen?

In addition, when recruiting Heroic Spirits into the pantheon, one must consider the impact of the convergence of one's own parallel world on other timelines...

This led Roland to adopt a completely passive attitude towards summoning heroic spirits: summon them when needed, and leave it to fate when not needed.

"No, Lord Roland, what I mean is, won't the inhibitor react if we use this technique without authorization?"

Upon hearing Maris say this, Roland immediately retorted with a question, showing no sign that he hadn't thought of it earlier.

"You know about the Holy Grail War, right? If the Holy Grail War is fine, why do you think we're not up to the task?"

"The Holy Grail War has been fought many times before, Lord Roland. The first one was fine, and we can rest assured about the ones after that. But this is not the Holy Grail War, and we need the summoned Heroic Spirits to be stationed here permanently, which is why I have this concern."

"Oh, then you don't need to worry about that..."

Roland smiled.

"I've already spoken to the Counter Force, so you can proceed with the Chaldea plan with peace of mind. Whether it's summoning Servants or creating Lostbelts, the Counter Force won't just stand by and watch others do these things, but it permits us to do them."

"Alright, just focus on your work. Don't overthink things and scare yourself. I have things to do here, you go ahead and get busy."

After leaving those words, Roland disconnected the communication spell.

Maris, meanwhile, stared blankly at the location of the communication incantation even after the call was disconnected...

This wasn't because Roland noticed that he was implying with the idea of ​​summoning Heroic Spirits that creating a Lostbelt might provoke the Counter Force, and thus gave him a few words of advice. Rather, it was because Roland said, "I've already spoken to the Counter Force!"

He didn't believe that Roland, the king of the underworld, would deceive him in this regard...

After all, if it's a lie, then it's too shallow and too naive.

so...

Maris blinked.

"...Could it be that Lord Roland really has influence with the Counter Force?"

Artoria was never one to be indecisive or drag things out.

She may be more tolerant in some things, but she also has her own set of judgments on them.

So when she first learned that Roland was coming, Artoria was both shy and flustered, and she was in a flustered state for quite a while.

But Roland didn't come over immediately, and during this time, Artoria quickly adjusted her mindset based on her own judgment.

First of all, she doesn't dislike Roland, and if it were to do something like that with Roland... she wouldn't object.

If Bai Mao can do it, so can I!

Secondly, she thought about it and realized that although she called herself Roland's blade, she was actually Roland's servant. A powerful king would have such needs, which was quite normal in her understanding.

Even Iskandar and Cú Chulainn tacitly accepted this, to the point that they kept a distance from Artoria and the others.

They had long considered Artoria and the others as Roland's people, and they were quite aware of this.

The thing about Lancelot and Diarmuid not doing what they did wasn't intentional—if they had half the self-awareness of Iskandar and Cú Chulainn, they wouldn't have made that mistake.

Therefore, Artoria was certain that this was what she should do, her duty.

at last...

Artoria is not a passive person.

Although she had never tried anything like this before, she had heard Sister Wang mention it to her in some way...

So Artoria decides to take the initiative!

She has been thinking this way and preparing accordingly.

So much so that when Roland arrived, before the door was even closed, Artoria pressed her curves against Roland's chest, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned in close!

Roland was still a little dazed as the two came into contact.

Until Artoria and he were temporarily separated, and as she breathed on Roland's face, Roland closed the door and hugged Artoria tightly, feeling himself, a knight who had grown to his most perfect state of 210 after becoming a god.

Roland is not the kind of herbivore who wouldn't eat meat if it were offered to him.

But according to Roland's own rules, when he hugged Artoria, he pressed his forehead against hers and looked into her eyes as he asked her a question.

Why would you suddenly do something like this?

Hearing Roland's question, Artoria felt her face burning, but she still answered Roland's question.

"Because of a hundred faces..."

Although she forced herself to speak, she was still a little embarrassed to directly bring up the matter between Roland and Bai Mao.

Everything tonight was a first for her, so even though she had prepared herself mentally and even took the initiative, she still felt shy in some ways.

When Roland heard Artoria mention the Hundred Faces, he laughed.

"In that case, you should already know about me and Bai Mao, right?"

"Ah."

Seeing that Artoria had given her a thumbs up, Roland breathed a sigh of relief, and then he pressed Artoria down to where she was supposed to go.

"Are you really sure you've made up your mind?"

This was Roland's final question.

Artoria had just spent so much time preparing herself, so even though she was pursing her lips, she still made a point of looking Roland in the eye and gave a very firm reply.

"Ok!"

With Artoria's voice ranging in his ears, Roland was free of his worries, and thus the evening began.

As for Mordred...

No rush, let's talk about it tomorrow!
