A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Shirou, however, completely ignored the effects of the magic and walked towards the slender figure standing in front of the fence.

She had long, beautiful hair as white as snow, and a pretty, well-proportioned face. She was probably Western, so she had exotic light blue eyes, and her full, rosy lips were slightly pursed, as if she were a little nervous.

She looks to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, a girl whose beauty is so captivating that it's hard to look away.

Upon seeing the girl, Shirou smiled slightly and then strode over to her.

— Liliana Kranichal.

The girl, nicknamed 'Sword Fairy,' had a troubled expression on her beautiful face as she looked at the stone slab in her hand.

This is something Liliana stole from an evil organization—a sacred relic symbolizing a certain god.

Chapter Two: Desecrating the Stone Tablet

Two days ago.

After receiving a secret letter from her mentor, Diana Milito, Liliana Cranicar immediately traveled to Naples, Italy.

Naples boasts a rich history, beautiful scenery, numerous cultural relics, and great charm, making it one of the most famous scenic areas in the Mediterranean.

Known as the "City of Sunshine and Joy," Naples enjoys sunshine year-round. Its people are cheerful, energetic, and talented singers; Naples' folk songs have spread throughout the world, making it a jewel of Italy.

There is a widely circulated saying in the area, which roughly translates to "If you can reach Naples in the morning, you can die in the evening."

Located southeast of Naples is an active volcano known as Mount Vesuvius.

It is an active volcano that has erupted many times in history. The most famous eruption was a massive eruption in 79 AD, in which scorching pyroclastic flows destroyed the then-prosperous ancient city of Pompeii.

Wearing a maid outfit, with

A girl with long, flowing hair and eyes the same color as jade is coldly watching the city outside the window.

"Although it looks like a beautiful city from here, once you go inside, you'll find it's full of garbage, with graffiti all over the walls and floors, and there's always traffic congestion. There are also quite a few thieves and robbers. No matter how you look at it, it's not a suitable place to settle down."

The girl's voice came from the stairwell.

"Hmm, Karen, what you said makes a lot of sense, but don't say it in front of the residents, okay? I don't want to come to your rescue when you're being ganged up on."

Diana Valetto, the leader of the Naples branch of the Italian magic society "Bronze Black Cross," smiled and joked upon hearing those words.

Because she had been looking out the window the whole time, she thought the words she had just heard came from the maid behind her.

"I'm so sorry, Aunt Diana, I accidentally blurted out my true feelings."

This is an antiquarian bookstore located in Naples.

"What...what did you just call me...Auntie?!"

Diana Milito's pupils widened in disbelief, then she suddenly remembered that the maid Karen would never say such a thing.

"Wait... this name... is it Lily? Only Lily would call me that so rudely."

Diana Milito turned around and looked at the silver-haired girl standing at the top of the stairs, stepping onto the floor.

“If you brought me here from my vacation in London, I’ll be angry if it wasn’t something important, Aunt Deanna!”

Naples, famous as the birthplace of pizza, is also a university city.

The university city established during the Syrian Kingdom era still exists today, and because of its small size, it unexpectedly has many antique bookstores within its city limits.

They were currently in the vicinity of Place Bellini in the old town, a famous street of antique bookstores.

Inside this antiquarian bookstore, books that have stood the test of time are displayed everywhere. However, despite being filled with extremely valuable ancient books, no one ever visits it.

Actually, it's not really the fault of this antiquarian bookstore. After all, how many people nowadays would be interested in such obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient books?

In one of these antique bookstores, called "House of Mitori," three women are currently gathered.

The apprentice witch, Karen Jankolovski, dressed in a maid outfit, has an outstanding appearance, but unfortunately, her figure and beauty are not perfectly matched. Her long, light green hair is draped down her back.

The woman standing by the window had a youthful face that was a blend of beauty and maturity, with long black hair cascading down her back. At that moment, she was puffing out her cute cheeks because of Lilia's previous way of addressing her.

As for the last one, it is a girl with long silver hair tied in a single ponytail and a face as beautiful as a fairy, Liliana Kranichal.

Her expression was very dignified, and her serious eyes were filled with a sense of awe.

She was wearing a black top and a matching black skirt, her slender legs encased in white velvet stockings.

"Speak, what urgent matter is it that you contacted me this time?"

Liliana looked at her teacher, Diana Milito, whose pouty expression, which had been caused by being called "auntie," turned serious after hearing Liliana's words.

"Yes, indeed, the reason I urgently summoned you from your vacation is because a special relic has recently appeared in Rome."

"Holy relic?"

Upon hearing Diana Milito's words, Liliana's eyes lit up.

In this world where gods are no longer mere fictional legends, relics are extremely dangerous and precious.

It is full of unknown dangers and rare opportunities, which is why countless people are willing to do anything to obtain it.

Although most of these people died after the 'disobedient god' descended, they failed to seize the opportunity, but six of them eventually stood out.

They are the six most powerful 'Campiones' in the world today!

Thinking that she would soon have the opportunity to pursue her own opportunities, Liliana asked excitedly.

"So, where is that relic now!?"

Diana Milito smiled and patted the girl on the shoulder.

"Don't be impatient, Liliana. I know you want to surpass Erica through this, but you should change your personality a bit. Otherwise, you'll easily suffer losses."

"I...I understand..." Liliana mumbled in agreement, but the longing in her eyes grew even stronger.

Diana Milito sighed softly as she was stared at like that.

"All we've obtained is the name of the organization, known as the 'Black Dragon Cult.' Everyone there has a completely different worldview than ordinary people, and their mental state is also very abnormal. We've checked their information."

It was discovered that before coming into contact with this organization, those members were all normal people.

Liliana frowned, and immediately understood.

"In other words, they might have been influenced by something? It's very likely because of that 'relic'!"

Diana Milito nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's what I think too, but you'll need to investigate further to determine the specifics."

"That's what Diana Milito said seriously."

“Liliana, your strength is in no way inferior to Erica Bruntri, and you also possess the ability of spiritual vision. If you seize this opportunity, you can become the seventh ‘Campione’! At that time, we will no longer need to pledge allegiance to any Demon Lord and will be able to steadily suppress the opposing magic society ‘Copper Black Cross’!”

Upon hearing Diana Milito's words, Liliana nodded firmly.

"Yes, I understand, Aunt Deanna!"

"...I told you not to call me auntie!"

Diana Milito, who was being addressed in this way again, finally stopped, her cheeks flushed red as she angrily shouted.

……

After leaving Naples, Liliana rushed to Rome, where she used the information she obtained from Diana Milito to locate the Black Dragon Cult and, using magic, stole the organization's sacred relic, the Blasphemous Tablet.

However, the magicians of the 'Black Dragon Cult' who realized that Liliana had stolen the relic went berserk and relentlessly hunted her down.

Even though Liliana managed to kill dozens of magicians and break through the encirclement with her own strength, her magic power was ultimately limited when faced with hundreds of relentless and fearless magicians. In the end, she could only escape into the city, using the crowd as cover, intending to seize the time to study the power of the 'Desecrated Tablet'.

However, just a few seconds after Liliana stood in front of a stone railing and turned her gaze to the 'blasphemous slab' in her hand, she felt a mental lapse and heard endless whispers in her ears, as if countless hands were pulling at her soul, trying to drag her into an abyss.

Just then, a hand landed on her shoulder, snapping Liliana out of her daze.

"What happened... what just happened..."

Just as she murmured this question, the girl suddenly became alert, quickly took a step back, and looked warily at the red-haired boy who had somehow appeared behind her.

"My wings, steel that forms phantom blades, ILMaestro, grant me power!"

Almost instinctively, Liliana immediately chanted a spell, summoning a long sword and raising it directly at the boy.

This weapon is called "ILMaestro," and it is a sword that is no less powerful than Erica's "Reinhardt." It has the appearance of a long silver military knife, and it is more like a dagger. Its ability is "Magic Melody."

"Hey, I just helped you out, is it really necessary to turn on me like this?"

Shirou smiled without any pressure as the silver-haired girl pointed her long sword at him.

The girl had a remarkably exquisite and outstanding appearance. Her waist-length, shimmering silver hair was tied into a single ponytail, making her look like a fairy. Her youthful face carried a serious expression, a mix of cuteness and imposing presence.

She wore a black top with a matching black skirt, and a blue striped shawl that looked like an accessory. Her slender legs were encased in white velvet stockings under the black skirt, and she wore khaki boots.

His demeanor gave off the feeling of a medieval knight.

Upon hearing Shirou's slightly cheerful voice, Liliana recalled what had just happened, hesitated for a moment, and sheathed her sword, her eyes filled with doubt as she looked at Shirou.

"You...you're not from that organization?"

Upon hearing the girl's question, Shirou pointed behind him.

"An organization? You mean those people?"

Following Shirou's pointing finger, Liliana immediately saw dozens of magicians dressed in black robes gathering in their direction.

"Damn it! They found it so quickly!"

Upon hearing the girl's words, Shirou had a look of sudden realization.

"So, the 'disperse the onlookers' magic trick you just used wasn't yours."

“That kind of thing is not important at all!” Liliana said with a hint of helplessness.

Then, seeing the magicians gathering in their direction, Liliana hesitated for a moment, but her conscience prevailed. She grabbed Shirou's right wrist and started running towards the 'Roman Colosseum' with him.

Chapter Three: If You Can't Handle It, Let Me Do It

As Shirou was being led away by the girl, a smile appeared on his lips as he looked at her slender back.

"Why don't you run by yourself? Why bring me along as a burden?" Shirou asked curiously as he kept up with Liliana's sprinting pace.

"Those lunatics will definitely think we're crazy if they see you with me."

"You're an accomplice, and you just helped me, so both morally and logically, I shouldn't abandon you!"

Liliana answered, slightly out of breath.
