Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 94: Fujimaru Ritsuka does not die from the magic supplement (1! Please vote! Please subscribe automatically!)
92. The dice hit someone ah ah ah

Fertility worship was very common in ancient times.

Therefore, similar content is often seen in various heroic legends, and it is difficult to say which of these stories are true and which are false.

Shirou had been mentally prepared for this, and would not engage in meaningless time police behavior such as "using modern people's moral concepts to judge ancient people's moral concepts."

For example, Cu Chulainn in front of us.

Leaving aside the personal character, at least in the stories that have been passed down to praise him, there is no problem in saying that he is the king of humanoid self-propelled artillery.

In the famous story "The Bull Raid", Cu Chulainn's teacher Scathach went to war with her sister Uif (meaning "wolf girl"), and Cu Chulainn volunteered to duel with Uif.

As a result, Uif, worthy of being Scathach's sister, defeated Cu Chulainn in just one round - to be more precise, she directly broke Cu Chulainn's weapon.

In a desperate situation, Cu Chulainn played a trick and suddenly shouted, "Look! Look! Look! The warriors driving the chariot of Uif! The horses and chariots have all fallen into the valley and died!"

Because Wuif loved these the most, she panicked, and Cu Chulainn took the opportunity to pounce on her and pinned Wuif under him with his physical fitness.

In the end, the defeated Uif had to carry out Cu Chulainn's three demands: no more fighting between sisters from now on, performing unspeakable acts with Cu Chulainn, and giving birth to a son for him - by the way, if all the babies were daughters, would she have to keep giving birth to a boy?

Anyway!

After all, ancient stories reflect the storytellers’ thoughts and are not necessarily (most likely not) the real historical situation.

Cu Chulainn's deception in "The Rape of the Bull" is the storyteller's attempt to express Cu Chulainn's "resourcefulness" and that he is not just a reckless man, but a wise general (this is also mentioned many times in the following stories). As for the indescribable things on the spot and the birth of a child, it is a common Celtic story style that praises Cu Chulainn's powerful abilities.

There is actually no shortage of similar descriptions in Eastern legends, such as the Yellow Emperor having sex with hundreds of women at night.

Depending on the version, Cu Chulainn also had relationships with Scathach's daughter, or even Scathach herself - and he would have various relationships with various women wherever he went. (Note: Cu Chulainn in Fate is included in this, and currently only FHA mentions that he had a relationship with Scathach's sister)

In an era of fertility worship, this kind of moral concept was common and there was nothing strange about it.

Although he has the savagery typical of ancient Celtic warriors, other than that, Cu Chulainn is indeed a good man unless he goes crazy.

Of course, this is also in the ancient moral sense.

As for killing, as long as Cu Chulainn felt it was necessary - even if it might be considered indiscriminate killing of innocent people from a modern perspective - he would do it without hesitation.

If the world were to end, as long as he was not insane, he would naturally assume the responsibility of a hero and would not hesitate to sacrifice his own life.

Even without using the power of the Sky Eye, Shirou can use his eyes to see through the structure of weapons and equipment, and can use his ears to listen to the thoughts of others.

Listening to other people's thoughts here is not the so-called mind-reading, but an abstract conceptual ability. Shirou can hear the target's "character", "what type of warrior he is", "current desire" and so on.

The bold Cú Chulainn probably wanted to express that he had no hostility? Even though he was a Caster in the present world and was keenly aware that Shirou was "spying" on him, he had no intention of hiding it, but showed it openly.

As for why he just typed a "?"

Given Cu Chulainn's personality, he probably thought Shirou's answer was strange. The meaning of "?" was not that he was surprised that Shirou had a sister who looked much younger than you, but that he thought, "Ah? Is this something that must be corrected?"

"Although you are a fake Shadow of the Sheath, you were able to cross Avalon's protective barrier and directly touch this girl. This means that there must be a relationship between you that goes beyond friendship and you have her complete trust, right? You are loved by her, right?"

Cu Chulainn tilted his head:
"Besides, this girl is an artificial human. There is no such thing as blood relationship between artificial humans. If a magician can't find a suitable partner, he will create a partner himself, or directly create an artificial human with his own blood as an offspring. Until now, this is a very common thing, right?"

When Cu Chulainn said this, he actually showed a look of contempt towards Shirou. "I say, you are not the kind of wimp who would use this relationship as an excuse to refuse even though she has expressed her feelings for you and wants to do that with you? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, if a man like this is seen by my daughters, they will laugh at him and look down on him!"

Shirou was not impressed by this vulgar Celtic pornography: "Illya is not the kind of person who would do something like what you said."

"Is that the point?!"

Cu Chulainn was too weak to complain.

While Cu Chulainn was joking and making dirty jokes, he also completed a preliminary diagnosis of the incense in his hand.

"Well"

[Can Cu Chulainn see through Ritsuka's problems? ]

[Difficulty: 96 (Even for Cu Chulainn, it is this difficult)]

[Cuchulain's 'Inspiration': 1D100=85]

"There's something wrong with this girl (Ritsuka). Although she looks like an ordinary person, she's just not right. Even I can't figure it out. Can I see through her secret or mutation?"

Cu Chulainn shook his head.
"I originally wanted to use the blood of this elf (Akagami Hinako) as material, and knead out a set of internal organs exactly like hers on the spot and then connect them - but I can't do this kind of 'cure the root cause', so I can only consider 'treating the symptoms'."

"What is the 'cure for the symptoms'?" Leonardo da Vinci, who was also a master of magic and medicine, curiously consulted with Cu Chulainn.

Cu Chulainn first glanced at Leonardo da Vinci, then at the silent Shirou - this was not Shirou's area of expertise, so he didn't interrupt and waited patiently for the doctor's diagnosis - and finally glanced at Roman, who had a worried look on his face.

Cu Chulainn then spoke: "There are many ways to treat the symptoms, such as the 'Power of the Underworld God' mentioned earlier, and your Chaldean 'Sub-Servant Technology'. However, it is more troublesome to implement and it is not 100% certain to be effective. After all, it is not certain whether the summoned spirit base is compatible with her.

Although I don't know the reason, but with this girl, things like karma and fate are all messed up, so it's not surprising that she summons all kinds of strange heroes, and it's not certain that you can draw the right person. "

When the words 'sub-servant technology' were mentioned, Roman's expression visibly stiffened.

Olga Marie, the director of Chaldea, looked extremely pale. She wanted to say something but was so frightened that she dared not speak.

Da Vinci didn't have any psychological burden, but just mentioned: "So, one of the abandoned preliminary plans in the Sub-Servant Plan - the plan to summon the Holy Knight Galahad into Mash's body, the holy relic 'Round Table of the Knights of the Round Table' still exists, right?
Although it can't compare to the Avalon Scabbard, it is a holy relic and can be used as a magic catalyst. Maybe I can give it a try? If I can summon Galahad's power."

Shirou also asked: "Can we deposit this Avalon into Ritsuka's body first?"

This theoretically feasible plan was rejected by Cu Chulainn: "Avalon is rejecting this 'ordinary girl'. Using Avalon for healing magic is feasible, but it cannot be buried in her body. If it is forced, it is hard to say whether it will succeed. It may cause trouble. She may even die directly as a 'normal girl'."

Cuchulainn repeatedly puts emphasis on the words 'ordinary girl'.

Everyone present was not stupid, and they could hear the hidden meaning in these words. Uh, except for Akebako? Akebako probably didn't hear it.

But anyway.

Although no one has ever seen through Ritsuka's secret, the fact that she is an "ordinary girl no matter how you look at her" but has secrets that even the big guys can't see through makes her so-called "ordinariness" seem very suspicious.

If there had been no accidents and if she had not attracted other people's curious observation, she might have continued to be "normal", but she stood up for her companions, put herself in danger, and exposed her abnormality.

Why does it feel like Shirou is speaking more and more?

Roman couldn't help but ask Shirou, "Is she really not your and Rin's daughter? By the way, she has a twin brother here who looks like a male version of Rin. He and his girlfriend are helping to treat the wounded now. I haven't dared to talk about his sister's problems yet."

Olga Marie finally seized the opportunity to speak at this time. She ordered Roman: "Can you send a new Master over? As long as there are enough people, according to Chaldea's plan, we can summon more Servants and form a Servant team to deal with the problem-"

"I can't do that." Little Da Vinci suddenly looked at the screen, "The principle of time travel in Chaldea's spirit particle transfer contains a lot of 'observer principle'.
It's like the 'Schrödinger's cat' experiment.

A cat is locked in a box, deprived of food and water and fed with lethal poison gas - until the box is opened and "observed" by someone, it is hard to say whether it is alive or dead.

Maybe he's dead.

It may be that the original genetic mutation overcame the poison.

It is also possible that, like in superhero comics, he suddenly awakens his superpowers, loses control, and travels to another world.

The part of the time travel principle of spirit particle transfer that maintains the safety of the traveler relies on this "observer principle". Theoretically, the safety of a normal Master requires a team of about thirty people to continuously "observe his existence", "prove his existence in a certain era", and "confirm the safety of his vital signs" behind the base.

Chaldea couldn't find that many people right now. There were less than 30 survivors. The base itself hadn't been repaired yet, and supplies were in serious shortage. They were basically all taken away by a wave of bombing.
We are barely surviving here, and we can't get any reinforcements!"

After saying that, little Da Vinci's portrait disappeared, and she, now dressed in a nurse's uniform, went back to work, treating the wounded - as well as some staff members who were 'medically dead but whose vital signs had not completely disappeared' - in other words, those who might be revived in the future through 'magic', were stuffed into the medical freezer.

These expensive freezers managed by Roman's medical department were miraculously mostly preserved. The bomber behind the scenes seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally avoided the area Roman was responsible for. Unfortunately.
"Where are the medical staff?" Olga Marie suddenly asked, "Since the medical area is basically intact, then-"

Roman sighed. "Most of the core staff were forcibly called over to attend the previous mobilization meeting. I am now temporarily using my authority to upgrade the survivors of the original Level 2 employees, and I am barely able to cope with it."

Olga Marie's face turned even paler than a dead person after hearing this. She almost shut herself off and dared not speak.

Only Shirou said something to help her: "She was also a victim who was called in temporarily to take responsibility."

These words were not consolation, but Shirou could 'hear' the color and shape of Olga Marie's inner voice, and knew that she meant no harm, nor was she the cold-blooded character of a normal magus. Her heart might even be closer to that of a normal person than Toosaka Rin's.

It will take some time to discuss a reliable bill.

Cu Chulainn immediately took action: "I will see if I can help him 'treat the symptoms' first and get him out of the dangerous period first."

Cu Chulainn shook his head. "Is she really in danger? I don't understand what's going on with her body, but if we leave it alone, my intuition tells me that something more troublesome might happen."

Shirou fell into thought
[Regarding Fujimaru Ritsuka's 'temporary first aid' plan, can Shirou think of any way to help Cu Chulainn?]

[Difficulty: 95 (Except for 'using magic to fight', the field of magic is not Shirou's forte, so the difficulty is greatly increased)]

[Shirou tries to imitate 'If it were Rin, what would you think now': 1D100=99 (something genetic lock third stage)]

——Shirou remembered

He figured out a solution!

That's right!

Shirou is indeed not good at anything other than 'using magic to fight' in the field of magic, but - Toosaka Rin is good at it!
Then projection is fine.

——So

When Toosaka Rin was explaining to Shirou the relationship between Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Virgin Mary and the Goddess Isis, she did mention that the Goddess Isis, who developed the original "projection magic", wanted to use it to project the power of other gods.

Projecting the power of God - this is the original design concept of projection magic.

When this concept is brought to its peak, it becomes the so-called 'power of the god of magic'.

Of course, if he is not a god of magic, and wants to project the power of other gods, it is not only difficult, but also depends on whether the other god allows it.

And Shirou——got permission!

Bahram——No, considering that we might have to deal with Athena later, let's just pronounce it using the Greek name and call it 'Veleslana'.

Back then, during the trial with the Dragon Demon and the battle with the future electronic evil spirit Sesshōin Kiara, Shirou and Rin were recognized by Veleslana.

Gained the recognition of Mithra, the god of light guarded by Veleslana.

Shirou's soul is a warrior of light! It's the soul of light!
Therefore, for Shirou, the biggest hurdle in projecting Veleslana's divine power, 'God's permission', has been overcome.

All that remains is to see the ability of Shirou, the caster!
(Veleslana has ten incarnations. Although this power is considered as 'one power' according to the rules, it can also be used separately)
Among Veleslana's ten incarnations, the one that can be of use in the current situation is——

The incarnation of [boy]!

One of Veleslana's ten most well-known forms, the Young Sage of the Shepherd, can grant the target 'human' the blessing of 'becoming a hero' for a certain period of time.

The power of the protection limited to 'humans' would probably be less effective if the target's human component was less.

However, the definition of 'what is a human being' is inherently ambiguous, so you don't need to worry too much about it.

The term "becoming a hero" is rather abstract. It refers to a result rather than specific enhancement content, and the specific enhancement content depends on the situation.

For example, if you are about to fall into lava, your resistance in this area will be temporarily increased.

For example, if the target desires strength that will not become a burden, her potential as a warrior will be temporarily stimulated and strengthened.

This may be because the power of this protection is external in the end, and Veleslana hopes that humans will become stronger, so the effect cannot be maintained permanently.

For Shirou, it was——

(It's ok for now, as long as Ritsuka can get out of danger and even gain enough strength to protect herself before I solve the problem of this singularity in Fuyuki City.
Once this girl realizes that she is an objective burden, she will subconsciously have extreme thoughts and actions like "If I die, others will not be dragged down by me.")

Shirou muttered to himself, and suddenly froze when he thought of this.

It feels like a boomerang for some reason.

Why does it feel like this has happened before?

Shirou suddenly understood why the people around him, especially Toosaka Rin, always said "Shirou, you're not good at this." It had almost become her catchphrase.

"."

So my behavior, in the eyes of those who care about me, is so helpless?
Shirou had a subtle feeling of 'looking in the mirror'.

At the same time, he also joined Roman and Da Vinci in doubting that this girl "Could she be a female version of me or a daughter of Rin and me?"

But no matter how much we doubt, we still have to provide treatment.

After a brief explanation, the emergency team took action.

Aku Hinako placed her hands on Ritsuka's abdomen and manipulated the organs in Ritsuka's body that were made from Aku Hinako's blood, which temporarily replaced her internal organs.

Cu Chulainn and Caster stood on either side of Lixiang, one holding up the ash tree staff and the other holding Avalon. Cu Chulainn chanted a spell, causing countless runes from the mythological era to appear around him. Caster muttered to himself, pretending to be chanting a spell, and through this method of self-suggestion, he injected power into Avalon, trying to trigger Avalon's power.

Shirou was half-kneeling beside Ritsuka's head, also muttering to himself, with a golden light faintly visible on his body.

If I didn't know, I would have thought it was some strange cult ritual, or some ancient great man was undergoing a religious "baptism" ceremony or something.

['Temporary emergency action' against Lixiang——]

[If the total is greater than 150, Ritsuka gains the ability to act normally before completing the strategy for singularity F]

[If the total is greater than 200, Ritsuka will gain 'heroic' power before completing the conquest of singularity F]

[Cu Chulainn's 'Rune Magic (Odin's Protection)': 1D100=75]

[Akira Hinako's 'Bloodline (Blood Manipulation)': 1D100=27]

[Castor's 'attempt to trigger the power of Avalon to provide assistance': 1D100=50]

[Shirou's 'Tenfold Incarnation: Boy (Tousaka Rin Magic)' (This correction was obtained because of Shirou's great success, it is an additional correction and is not included in the difficulty): 1D100=100]

[Total: 252]

Cu Chulainn's rune magic is powerful and stable.

Although Akagi Hinako was trying hard to keep the "organ" functioning, this itself did not have much effect during Ritsuka's treatment.

Caster was completely "relying on her feelings to use something that might be a magic spell", but the effect was unexpectedly good. As expected, she was also a subspecies of Altria, and there was some kind of unclear relationship between her and Avalon, right?

Shirou did not read the narration this time. He focused entirely on the 'ritual'. Unsure how well he could do it, he could only act with the idea of 'doing the best I can'.

By speaking the words, he calls upon the power and protection of the Warrior of Light, Guardian of Light, Veleslana.

"I come for victory. For rescue, for healing, for justice. Those who have courage and sacrifice in their hearts, and are upright in nature, will not lose the protection of light. Just keep moving forward!"

Ten incarnations——The sixth incarnation: boy.

Shirou is now the 'boy'.

Then he injected the power of protection into Ritsuka's body. Shirou hesitated for a moment.
Injecting the Divine Protection into another person's body? Shirou only knew two ways to do this. One was to forge a weapon and give it will and power through forging. The other was -

Lower your head.

contact.

This was also the first time that Shirou did something like this - not replenishing mana, but things like 'adding buffs to others' and 'healing others'.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, Shirou, who was very self-aware, would let his companions who were really good at this do it.

This was the first time Shirou used the power of the 'boy' in the Tenfold Incarnation.

This feeling, Shirou felt, was a bit like giving a part of the 'Soul of Light' in his body to Ritsuka.

[Because of Shirou's great success, Fujimaru Ritsuka obtains the characteristic 'Heroic Admiration'. During the duration of the protection effect, he obtains Shirou's skill set (how much effect can be exerted depends on the on-the-spot performance)]

Then Ritsuka——

Well, there weren't any noticeable changes to Ritsuka's body.

Maybe it's because Ritsuka looks similar enough to Shirou, or rather, too similar, like a completely different person. Even if his appearance becomes 'more like Shirou', it's hard to tell with the naked eye.

Mentally, well, it seems to be similar to Shirou, so the impact and changes are probably minimal.

Apart from gaining the trait called 'Hero Admiration (Emiya Shirou)', nothing seems to have changed.

Only Custer couldn't help but say, "Boss, you are really skilled."

Cu Chulainn whistled frivolously.

Only Akagi Hinako tilted her head: "?"

In a sense, the simplest person present might be Aku Hinako, right?
Shirou did not get rid of the summoning magic state so quickly.

Because - now that I'm here, in addition to simply passing on the protection to Ritsuka, since I've already replenished my magic, why not communicate with the spirits and see if I can take the opportunity to obtain some information about Ritsuka's "memories"?

[Shirou uses the skill 'Spiritual Summons' on Fujimaru Ritsuka]

[The difficulty of Shirou obtaining Ritsuka's 'memories': 96]

[Difficulty for Ritsuka to obtain Shirou's 'memories': 30 (Shirou himself does not refuse at all, and even actively hopes that Ritsuka will get them, hoping that Ritsuka will gain enlightenment and courage from them, so the difficulty is greatly reduced. The higher the value, the more content you will get)]

[Shirou's 'Inspiration (Luck)': 1D100=32]

[Ritsuka's 'Inspiration (Heroic Admiration)': 1D100=100]

[. Ritsuka received additional rewards for his great success. Even if Veleslana's protection effect expires, the "Heroic Vision" feature will be retained, and hidden plots may be triggered at some point.

When Ritsuka faces psychic damage, he can rely on his "hero admiration" for Shirou to gain additional compensation.

Lixiang slowly opened his eyes, and his originally hazy consciousness, which seemed to be in a state of neither life nor death, gradually became clearer.

She just felt that she seemed to have had a dream in the state of neither life nor death. She could not remember the content of the dream. It seemed to be a nightmare and she seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss.

It was pitch black all around, everything disappeared, the things around me, the people around me, the people who accompanied me, like the light of a campfire, went out one by one, and I was the only one left.

It was so dark around me and the temperature became freezing, as if I was falling into an ice cave. The act of breathing felt like inhaling ice chips into my lungs. It was painful and agonizing.

Looks like crying.

It seems like he is crying.

But when she tried to wipe away her tears, her vision was stained with red. She didn't know when, her hands were already covered in blood.

It hurts, it hurts so much, I don't know where it hurts, but it hurts so much, from the inside to the outside, from the mind to the body, the pain and fatigue consume her, she clearly 'remembers nothing' now, but the loneliness and despair in the dream seem to crush her.

Faintly, Ritsuka seemed to see Haruka again. The little mushroom-like girl stared at Ritsuka with her golden eyes. Her lips moved but no sound came out. But Ritsuka could understand what she wanted to say. "Sister, do you want to trade?"

——A sudden soft touch on the lips

Haruka was also stunned for a moment.

Like Ritsuka, he subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the sky.

--Light
Warm, non-glaring, soft light.

It fell into Ritsuka's heart.

Light illuminates darkness.

Warmth drives away the cold.

And with it comes - memory.

A moment, in terms of the outside world, is just a moment.

Ritsuka felt as if she was sitting in a movie theater, watching a long movie. The title of the movie was probably something like "Fuyuki Incident - The Counterattack of the Evil God and the Redemption of the Boy~".

Ritsuka saw it.

Under Shirou's leadership, and with the help of countless people, phantoms of Shura gods and Buddhas appeared beside the young man, chanting with him, and trying to save the 'beast of truth, goodness and beauty'.

Let the 'Beast of Truth, Goodness and Beauty' be freed from the curse called 'Truth, Goodness and Beauty' and 'This is also a necessary sacrifice'.

That picture——

Subconsciously, Ritsuka stretched out his hand towards the young man's figure.

Subconsciously, I said to him:

"help me."

"--good."

Without even a moment's wait, Ritsuka's hands were tightly grasped. Those were a pair of rough hands, and just by touching the calluses on them, one could tell what kind of ascetic self-discipline the owner had gone through.

However, it is rough, yet warm and soft, and very strong without causing any pain.

"I'll save you right now."

Ritsuka's consciousness was caught by the owner of the figure, and then pulled hard!
Click
There seemed to be a sound of something breaking.

Only then did Li Xiang realize that the darkness he was trapped in before seemed to be in a white cocoon, just like the image of "being trapped in one's own cocoon".

Turning back subconsciously.

Ritsuka saw the calm face of a demon who was alone and called herself "Haruka" inside the cocoon.

There seemed to be a hint of envy and loneliness beneath that face.

——Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly regained consciousness.

Back to the real world.

☆

Shirou was unable to peek into Ritsuka's memories.

But what he felt was not 'resistance', but some kind of self-isolation?

Among Shirou's sisters, Kiara Emiya aspires to become a mage doctor, so she has studied many books on psychology. Shirou also read them for a while in order to study things like 'mind monkeys' and 'inner demons'.

It is said that some people's amnesia is not simply a loss of memory, but a subconscious "self-protection" behavior of the body. Because of the fear of being hurt by terrible memories, the subconscious refuses to let those memories be "checked" by the owner.

The girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka has a hole deep in her heart that she herself may not even be aware of.
Why does the sense of déjà vu feel stronger?

Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now.

Ritsuka, who had just finished reading a novel of about 500,000 words and had fallen in love with Shirou, opened his eyes again and regained normal consciousness. The first thing he saw with a blushing face was Shirou, who was maintaining a spiritual connection and magic replenishment state with him.

Li Xiang: “.”

Shirou calmly severed the connection with Ritsuka during Caster's teasing: "Boss, why are you so skilled? After Aku Hinako and Ritsuka, am I the only one who hasn't been kissed by you?"

Shirou looked at Ritsuka.

Ritsuka also looked at Shirou.

There seemed to be a thousand words between the two of them, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.

The only two people present who could analyze and think calmly and objectively as "outsiders" were probably Cu Chulainn and, uh, the almost forgotten Olga Marie.

[Olga Marie and Cu Chulainn conduct an 'inspiration' test to see if they can come up with anything? ]

[Cuchulain's Inspiration Difficulty: 40]

[Olga Marie's Inspiration Difficulty: 80]

[Cuchulain's 'Inspiration (Combat)': 1D100=69]

[Olga Marie's 'Inspiration (Celestial Magician)': 1D100=98 (?)]

Cu Chulainn suddenly knocked on Shirou and Ritsuka's heads with his staff, "What are you standing there for? Come on, little boy (Shirou), remember to pass on as much of your combat experience as possible to the little girl (Ritsuka) this time!
A wonderful reaction occurred between you two. The little girl has temporarily obtained something like your 'power template', but how effective it will be depends on her - you should hurry up and pass on some combat experience to her!

Even though how well you perform on the spot depends on the individual, it’s always better to have experience than nothing!
- Don't forget that we have a big battle to fight soon! Athena won't wait for anyone!"

Cuchulainn was right!

Shirou thought this was a reasonable request.

"It was an emergency before, like artificial respiration to save someone, so I didn't ask" Shirou looked at Ritsuka, "Are you willing?"

Ritsuka was dumbfounded.

I, I, I, you suddenly asked me to answer this question in public!? You really want me to say it? Can't you do it first and ask for permission later?
It's simply some kind of humiliating punishment!
But Ritsuka's way of thinking is very similar to Shirou's, so her thoughts are similar to Shirou's. Although she is very embarrassed, she still says, "I, I do!"

Cu Chulainn whistled, and even at this point he did not forget to tease: "Should I congratulate you two?"

"?" Aku Hinako frowned and finally realized that something seemed to be wrong.

But she had also practiced summoning magic with Shirou before, so even though she felt like something was wrong, she wasn't very smart and couldn't understand what was wrong.

Psychic magic.jpg
[Shirou uses his skill, Spiritual Supplement, on Ritsuka, trying to transfer some of his own 'battle experience' to Ritsuka]

[Difficulty of Ritsuka's inspiration: 50. Even if you gain experience, your actual performance still depends on your on-the-spot reaction, so you can only make Ritsuka a 'character unit that can fight']

[If Ritsuka's inspiration is greater than or equal to 96, Ritsuka directly inherits Shirou's 'combat experience'. Although the difference in strength is still large, he can exert real heroic-level combat power during the duration of the 'Heroic Protection of the Boy'.]

[Shirou's Inspiration Difficulty: 96]

[Ritsuka's 'inspiration': 1D100=60]

[Shirou's 'Inspiration': 1D100=48]

Shirou still couldn't get a glimpse into Ritsuka's self-enclosed (or should we say 'sealed') memories?
Ritsuka hurriedly gained some combat experience from Shirou, and became able to go to the battlefield as long as he had the courage and could overcome his fear. Well, this level is not a problem at all for someone like Ritsuka who has a "lady-like" personality!
Since he failed to see through Ritsuka's secret, Shirou didn't continue to delve into the matter.

I looked at the judgment in the narration—Olga Marie was a great success?

Shirou looked at Olga Marie, who was hiding timidly like an outsider: "Olga, do you have anything to say?"

Olga Marie was stunned when she was suddenly mentioned.

Shirou thought he was calling her the wrong name, "Or do you prefer being called 'Mary'?"

"Just use the full name!" Olga Marie said quickly.

"Okay." Shirou nodded slightly. "Olga Marie, I just heard your 'heart'. You seem to have some good ideas - then speak out. Since you are here, you are one of us, our companion. If you have any ideas, just speak out boldly."

Shirou paused.

Seeing that Olga Marie still looked timid and lacking in confidence, Shirou guessed that the reason Olga Marie was like this was because she felt that "it was her orders that led to the deaths of many Chaldea employees" and "it was all my fault", and she became a little autistic.

Even if I have inspiration, I dare not speak it out.

Shirou said to her directly: "Just tell us, we will listen - I believe you, if you don't believe in yourself, then believe me who has decided to trust you!"

Shirou thought: After all, you were so successful, your idea must be right.

Olga Marie: “!!!”

Olga Marie seemed to be somehow stimulated by the words "I believe you", and she actually started crying?

Cu Chulainn couldn't stand it anymore and knocked her head. "If you have an idea, just say it. If you want to be a hero, then don't cry! Right or wrong, useful or not, how to execute it - this is not your job or responsibility alone, but for all of us to judge!"

Olga Marie quickly wiped away her tears and put forward the idea that had just occurred to her!

"Maybe it's because I'm the only one who's been bothered by the 'Sub-Servant Project', so I'm the only one who thought of it."

Olga Marie pointed at Ritsuka and said, "If she becomes a sub-servant, the most suitable spiritual base for her would not need to be summoned at all. Isn't there one in this singularity right now?"

Who?
When Olga Marie said this, everyone thought of the same person.

“““That Archer!!!”””

But soon Roman raised doubts: "Even if it is suitable, how to operate it specifically? Do you have people and equipment on site?"

"I should be able to do it. If it's Kirshtalia, I will definitely succeed, but I'm also a celestial magician. I'm considered his junior. I should, probably, theoretically, I can. possibly do it."

The more she spoke, the less confident she became.

When Shirou saw her like this, he couldn't help but think of Sakura at one point in time.

So, Shirou simply took a step forward, took Olga Marie's hand, and passed his warmth to her cold body: "You tell me, I'm listening, what are you going to do? I'm not good at the principles of magic, but others can understand it. Together we can help you realize your idea (magic)."

Shirou reiterated, "I believe you."

Olga Marie took a deep breath.

Slowly express your thoughts:
"In the early 20th century, Aleister Crowley, a magician from the magician association 'Golden Dawn', proposed the 'Thelema Doctrine' and compiled the magic book 'Book of the Law', creating the 'astrology (celestial magic)' of the Thelema school" (Note: Golden Dawn, Aleister, Thelema, Book of the Law, all of these actually existed in reality and history, and are not completely original settings of "A Certain Magical Index")
"Aleister himself is a talented magician and astrologer with complex ties to Christianity. He condensed the essence of his Thelema teachings into the Book of the Law and summarized them in three sentences. These three sentences have a considerable influence on current celestial magic - and even modern magic as a whole."

“Do what you will, that is your law”

“Love is the law, love under will”

“Every man and every woman is a star”

"The celestial magic that connects human organs with the planets in the solar system has existed in Eastern and Western mysteries since ancient times, but Aleister went a step further and determined the relationship between humans and stars, emphasizing the connection and possibility between human 'beliefs' and 'stars'. And"

Olga Marie hesitated and added:
"'The power of love'. It's something so subtle and hard to measure accurately."

Cu Chulainn probably understood Olga Marie’s train of thought: “You mean, from the perspective of Thelema, Heroic Spirits can also be considered a kind of ‘Star Soul’, that is, ‘Heroic Spirit’, and in the field of celestial magicians, there must be content related to ‘Star Spirits’.

As a celestial magician, theoretically, you can capture that archer and transfer it into the body of the little girl (Ritsuka), and then perform a spiritual rebirth to achieve sub-servant transformation?"

"Yes! In addition to Animusphia's magic, Kirshtalia's personal style of celestial magic also incorporates a lot of his own understanding, including the doctrine of Thelema! I've seen it many times, so I should be able to use it to the same effect, right?"

She started to be cowardly again.

"That's a good idea." Cu Chulainn agreed with Olga Marie. "It's theoretically feasible, and considering the similarities between the little girl (Ritsuka) and the little devil (Shirou), I'm afraid that the spiritual base of the archer is also highly compatible!"

"Ah, that's right. Ritsuka and Shirou are so similar that they are either twins, father and daughter, or real people! That leaves only one problem," Caster pointed out. "We can only find time after we get past Athena, right?"

Shirou shook his head: "We can split up and I will hold Athena back by myself, and you guys take the opportunity to act. After you are done, you can join me in attacking Athena!"

"You're doing it again. That's what you can't do, boss." Custer kept shaking his head. "You're putting yourself in the most dangerous place again."

Shirou: "."

Shirou was speechless, but he really felt that this was the best tactical choice.

Just now.

The archers who had been trying to stop the onslaught of Athena's spirit at the other side of Fuyuki City in the distance stopped.

In other words - it's over.

The archers failed to stop her, and the disobedient Athena successfully descended into the singularity F!

Cu Chulainn sensed it as well, and he reminded Shirou: "Athena is the protector of heroes, and Hercules is the hero she is most proud of (her brother). Although it is only a weakened version of that degree, you have definitely caught her attention - she will come for you. Have you thought it through? Have you considered it?"

Shirou said nothing, but silently put his hand on the hilt of the sword and rushed out first!
"Just follow this plan! Trust me! I have special methods to deal with 'God'!

Compared to Hercules, who I am the worst at dealing with, I can handle Athena - go capture the archers first! Then come back and join us!"

At this moment, the recorder of the narration emerged——

[Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, showed her 'past side' which she would not normally take the lead in.]

[This result was probably caused by the burning of human principles initiated by the Demon King, which messed up the logic of history.]

[Athena showed up by not respecting herself as the 'most popular setting of Zeus's beloved daughter']

[It is said that Zeus's last son would overthrow his throne and end his era, but Zeus used a clever trick to make his daughter Athena the last to be born]

[Zeus was not overthrown until the end of the mythological era]

[But Athena does have some of this 'fate', which is closely related to the secret origin of the Greek gods]

[If the true form of God's appearance is not bound by the myths woven by humans, it is likely to be very different from what is recorded in the story.]

[A god who does not follow the settings given to him by humans - that is: a god of disobedience]

[The God of Disobedience, Athena, has appeared in the world, with the 'Goddess of the Underworld' as the leader]

[As the guardian of the hero god, the god of war, and the god of death, Athena is eager to fight with heroes! And then harvest the souls of heroes! 】

[Determine Athena's 'interest' in the 'hero' present. The higher the interest, the higher the probability of going to fight him immediately]

[Interest in Shirou: 1D100=96 (?)]

[Interest in Cu Chulainn: 1D100=5 (?)]

[Interest in the Contaminated Archer (Emiya Shiori): 1D100=47]

[Interest in the Tainted Swordsman (Altria): 1D100=65]

——I’m very interested in Shirou!
It is almost certain that they will come after Shirou first!
That woman has set her sights on Shirou! She is determined to beat him to his knees and take him to her kingdom of God!!!

[Athena takes action, her first target is.]

【1/2/3/4/5/6/7、卫宫士郎！】

[8. Archer (Emiya Shiori)]

[9. Swordsman (Altria)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

[1D10=10 (?)]

[(No! Didn’t your previous script mean that this place must be aimed at Shirou!?)]

[1D2=1 (Great Success!)]

[Ya, Athena has a big success here, what does it mean? 】

[1/2/3, copying the dragon demon's homework, using the dragon veins of Fuyuki City, adjusting the shape of her own spiritual base to a state close to the original state. Winged Serpent Athena! That is, the Earth Dragon, the Mother Goddess of Dragons Athena! At this stage, she will meet the warrior Lang in her prime! Because she is too interested in Shilang, she will go all out! ]

[4/5/6, Athena learned and mastered the art of summoning heroic spirits. As the patron saint of heroes, she summoned Greek heroes (additional information will be added to determine how many heroes were successfully summoned and who they were)]

[7/8, Athena decided to defeat the swordsman first, take away the Holy Grail she was guarding, and then meet the warrior in her prime]

[9. The swordsman (Altria) is also a dragon! Athena tries to "subdue" her, and then uses her full power to deal with Shirou?]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=10】

[1D2=1 (Come again!?)]

Shirou: “???”

Athena's double success, specifically:

[1/3/4, the probability of Athena summoning 'Achilles', 'Hercules', 'Hector', and 'Odysseus' has increased significantly! And at least two Greek heroes can be summoned! ]

[2/5/6. Because of her trait of 'Dragon Mother', Athena is good against swordsmen, so you will be at an advantage in the battle to subdue her (get additional correction)]

[7. Athena shows her power as the 'Goddess of Wisdom' and tries to force a contract with the Contaminated Swordsman to control her (non-combat confrontation judgment)]

[8. After all, it was a double success. After all, it was Athena, the wisest goddess, who directly bypassed the battle and signed a contract with the swordsman! ]

[9. Option 8 plus: The answer is that she is too interested in Shirou, to the point where it can almost be called a twisted and extremely dangerous 'love (admiration for Shirou as a warrior)'. She wants to fight Shirou, kill him and capture his soul - or be killed herself! That's why she has to do this! To attack in her prime! She longs to fight Shirou in a one-on-one duel!]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】

Shirou, who had run away for a distance, ran back again with a serious look on his face:
"Something doesn't seem right!"

Athena did not rush towards Shirou immediately - instead, she used her power as the goddess of the earth to create a big hole in the surface of Fuyuki City!

Just go straight to the polluted servant swordsman, Artoria, who is guarding the Holy Grail in the big underground cavity!
