Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

While the other participating teams discussed plans and gathered intelligence, Mordred shook off the familiar that had been secretly following her and returned to the temporary base.

"...You're back?"

Hearing the clanging of armor, Kariya Matou peeked out from the kitchen and saw Mordred standing in the center of the living room.

Thinking about why she went out, he asked, "How was the trip? Did you get any valuable intelligence?"

Upon hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae, who had set up the magic barrier, returned to the living room, waiting for Mordred to reveal his findings.

Sakura Matou came out of the kitchen and quietly observed...

"Some gains..." Mordred's helmet folded and deformed, revealing her face. She said somewhat angrily, "The Servant summoned by Tokiomi Tohsaka has some strength, but his personality is extremely bad, and he especially likes to swear..."

"Ha, Tokiomi~"

Although nothing was explicitly said, the simple "heh" and the disdain it conveyed a great deal of meaning.

Hearing the familiar name, Matou Sakura's expression didn't change at all. Perhaps her feelings for that person had already been completely exhausted after nearly a year of torment.

Extracting keywords from Mordred's words, based on Mordred's description, the Servant summoned by Tokiomi Tohsaka should be Archer. Therefore, Tamamo-no-Mae asked, "If it were a one-on-one battle, could you defeat Archer?"

"I wasn't sure," Mordred answered truthfully. "When I activated my Noble Phantasm, it would have only taken me two or three seconds to destroy the Tohsaka mansion, and in those few seconds, he escaped with the two people inside..."

Despite his terrible personality, Gilgamesh's strength was undeniable.

Upon hearing this, Matou Kariya's expression became quite interesting, first showing regret, then joy.

"Is that so..." Tamamo-no-Mae nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

A Servant who can escape from close-range Noble Phantasm attacks is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

"Well done!" Upon hearing that Tokiomi Tohsaka's house had been blown up, Kariya Matou gave Mordred a thumbs-up.

"Such a momentous occasion deserves a celebration banquet! Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

At this moment, the cheerful Matou Kariya has no idea what is about to happen to him.

"A victory celebration?!" Mordred's eyes lit up with excitement.

"I'm not really sure what good food is available these days, so you can decide what to prepare!"

As she spoke, Mordred seemed to remember something and added, "On my way back, I heard a shop talking about a discount, and the food smelled really good. Maybe I should buy some?"

"No problem." Matou Kariya waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem, since he was in a good mood today...

If he weren't in a dangerous situation, he would have liked to take everyone to a restaurant for a big celebration.

"By the way, what's the name of that shop?"

As Matou Kariya took out his phone, preparing to call for takeout, he asked...

"It seems to be called Ken Xji."

'Oh, it's a hamburger!' Matou Kariya thought to herself. She'd just order a family bucket; that should be enough.

After that, he made a few more phone calls and ordered some takeout.

Since there wasn't much food at home, and it was a celebration, we naturally had to eat something nice...

Seeing Matou Kariya's excited preparations, Tamamo-no-Mae thought, "How could I forget my dear Master?"

She knocked gently on the door and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Master, dinner's ready~"

"Alright." Having finished crafting the two magical artifacts, he happened to hear Tamamo-no-Mae's words, so he paused the crafting of the third magical artifact and instead pushed open the door to the living room.

"for you."

Kariya Matou caught the two items thrown to him and examined them carefully for a while. They were not similar, but exactly the same necklace. He discovered that after he infused them with magic, the two items underwent a strange change...

Simply put, it's about establishing a connection with him, like having a remote control in your hand. You know what functions it has and how to use it.

After learning about the abilities of the two items, Matou Kariya immediately said with a serious expression, "Thank you very much."

Fang Rui waved his hands a few times but didn't say anything.

His gaze fell on the empty dining table, and he said in confusion, "Didn't we say we were going to eat? Where's the food?"

"The takeout hasn't arrived yet..." Matou Kariya explained.

"Is that so..." Fang Rui didn't dwell on the matter, but instead turned his gaze to the window.

It was already late, which met the conditions for stargazing.

So Fang Rui went outside, looked up at the starry sky, and began to divine the location of certain people and certain events...

Firstly, the success rate of transferring the black mud is not very high, and someone is unwilling to cooperate...

Secondly, someone can travel to a parallel world even if they are not in the current world.

but……

Using the jeweled sword will attract someone.

One answer after another surfaced in Fang Rui's mind, and he already had an idea of ​​what to do next...

Chapter 278 Melee

As the divination ended, the light in Fang Rui's eyes gradually faded, and he returned to his normal state.

"Speaking of which..."

"The blueprints for the Jewel Sword are being kept by the Tohsaka family, and the Tohsaka mansion has already been..."

"Mordred blasted everything to ruins with a single energy blast..."

Thinking of this, Fang Rui's expression immediately turned awkward. His comrade had destroyed a crucial item for the mission...

"emmm..."

"This is terrible!"

After thinking for a moment, Fang Rui did not give up the idea of ​​finding the "mission item".

In short, head to the ruins of the Tohsaka mansion first to see if there are any remaining treasures.

If that doesn't work, then talk to Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Alternatively, you could talk to Gilgamesh.

After all, he is a man who claims to possess all the treasures in the world, and perhaps he has treasures that allow him to travel between parallel worlds.

Thinking this, Fang Rui looked up at the sky again, trying to determine the location of Tokiomi Tohsaka and Gilgamesh.

After obtaining the relevant information, Fang Rui lost his appetite and immediately took action.

First, it's invisible, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Next, they arrived at the Tohsaka mansion and carefully explored the area, searching for any treasures that had survived the bombardment by the magic cannons.

Although Mordred didn't unleash her full power with her Noble Phantasm, and attacked diagonally upwards without deliberately aiming at the villa, however...

The aftershocks of the Noble Phantasm alone had already turned the Tohsaka mansion into ruins, leaving only some broken walls and rubble.

As for the treasure...

A magician's possessions typically consist of magic books, magical costumes, and rare and exotic treasures.

The three items mentioned above are the opposite of "ordinary" and "safe," so naturally they cannot be placed randomly in the house. Instead, they are stored in specially decorated rooms, such as workshops where magic is practiced regularly.

The workshops used for practicing magic are naturally very strong in terms of defense, therefore...

"As expected of a magic family with hundreds of years of history, the magic workshop, which has been reinforced over hundreds of years, has an absurdly strong defense!"

"It actually managed to retain its perfect shape even after being hit by the aftershocks of the Noble Phantasm..."

"Pretty impressive!"

If the exterior is well preserved, the internal damage should be relatively minor.

Ignoring the familiars and heroic spirits near the ruins, Fang Rui passed through the wall and entered the magic workshop...

The bookshelves holding books on magic and cultivation had tilted to the sides, scattering the books across the floor in a messy and disorderly manner.

The instruments, equipment, experimental tools, and other items were displaced by the vibrations, leaving the place in a very messy state...

Apart from the jeweled sword, none of the treasures in the Tohsaka family's collection could arouse Fang Rui's interest, so his target was very clear...

Find the blueprint for the jeweled sword among the pile of various items.

After obtaining the desired items, Fang Rui did not linger there and returned directly to the temporary base.

Just then, the food delivery arrived.

While studying the design blueprints for the jeweled sword, he casually ate a little something.

Tamamo-no-Mae, who also only dabbled in the subject, was looking at the design blueprints for the Jewel Sword, occasionally commenting on certain aspects of it, saying things like "it's very difficult to make" and "it would be very expensive to manufacture."

Mordred, however, had absolutely no interest in the gem-encrusted sword design and was instead indulging in a hearty meal...

As Mordred devoured a hamburger in two bites, a bowl of rice in a few bites, and a plate of vegetables in a few bites... the food on the table dwindled at a visible rate, and Matou Kariya's expression gradually became blank.

'How...can you eat so much?!'

A meal meant for ten people was devoured by one person in just two or three minutes... Is this what a Heroic Spirit is like?!

Kariya Matou was filled with emotion, but before he could continue, a pair of eyes filled with appetite were cast upon him, making him tense up as if he were being stared at by a hungry beast.

"Wait a moment, I'll order takeout right away."

Kariya Matou instantly understood what Mordred meant and, without hesitation, immediately took out his phone...

A dozen minutes later, the meal for ten people arrived, and Mordred devoured it in two or three minutes...

Another ten minutes or so later, the food for twenty people was delivered, and Mordred devoured it all in seven or eight minutes.

After repeating this several times...

Mordred, with her red dragon blood, finally had her appetite satisfied, and at the same time, Kiriyama's wallet was emptied.

"...I need to find a way to make some money!" Matou Kariya said, somewhat troubled.

"Otherwise, even getting food will be a problem."

………………

The following day, news of the destruction of the Matou and Tohsaka mansions made the news, and the topic of conversation spread throughout the streets and alleys.
