Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"Lancelot?"

Knight of the Lake, Flower of Knights, the most skilled warrior among the twelve Knights of the Round Table.

Kiritsugu Emiya's mind instantly conjured up detailed information about Lancelot, including the legendary story of Lancelot betraying King Arthur and abducting Queen Guinevere.

He likes to be as thorough as possible in everything he does, and these materials were all things he had read and written down when he summoned Artoria.

"As King Arthur, the master to whom the Knights of the Round Table serve, you should be able to easily defeat Lancelot, right?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked.

A king may not necessarily have exceptional fighting prowess, but King Arthur was different. He always personally led his troops into battle and conquered all sides, so his martial skills should not be lacking.

However, Artoria gently shook her head.

"Unless we use our Noble Phantasms to clash, it's just a contest of martial arts to the death. Even if I could kill him, I would be seriously injured, or we might even perish together."

Requesting recommendations and monthly votes.

Chapter 161 Why is no one talking about martial ethics?

This answer undoubtedly disappointed Kiritsugu Emiya, but he quickly composed himself and asked again, "Then do you know what Noble Phantasms and unique skills he possesses?"

Upon hearing this, Artoria shook her head again and said, "The indestructible Lake Light in his hand is definitely a Noble Phantasm. As for the others, I don't know. There are too many legends about him."

After a pause, Artoria said hesitantly, "However, I don't seem to sense any hostility or fighting spirit from him, otherwise he wouldn't have exposed his aura like this."

"No hostility or will to fight?" A disdainful sneer flashed in Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes.

"If he had no hostility or fighting spirit, and no desire to fulfill the Holy Grail, why would he answer the Holy Grail's call and participate in this Holy Grail War? Did he know beforehand that you would also join this Holy Grail War? Did he descend only to see you again?"

Kiritsugu Emiya said expressionlessly. Although it was a very reasonable analysis, the attitude and tone he subtly revealed made Artoria frown.

When she was first summoned by Kiritsugu Emiya and learned about his ideals and wishes, she quite agreed with him. However, although they ultimately shared the same ideals, their methods of doing things were completely different.

Even if Artoria were to achieve such an ideal, she would still follow the code of chivalry. But Kiritsugu Emiya would stop at nothing and use any means necessary to achieve his goal.

Because in his eyes, the process was also part of the ideal, and it was something that could be sacrificed.

However, as a Servant, she could only silently endure it, while involuntarily reflecting on her own actions.

"Was it because Lancelot and Mordred couldn't tolerate my temper and methods when they betrayed me? Do I need to change?"

At this moment, the chivalry she had always firmly upheld suddenly began to waver.

Kiritsugu Emiya glanced at her, a cold smile creeping across his face.

In his opinion, Artoria was far too naive. As a queen, how could someone so conservative manage a country?

"With a king like that, it's no wonder Camelot perished," Kiritsugu Emiya thought to himself.

He then had Irisviel bring him historical records and legends about King Arthur and the twelve Knights of the Round Table, which were kept in the Einzbern family's collection, in an attempt to deduce Lancelot's possible Noble Phantasms and unique skills based on these records and legends.

At the same time, he also called Hisayu Maiya, who had already gone to Fuyuki City, and asked him to continue monitoring Tokiomi Tohsaka while also searching for and monitoring Lancelot's Master.

Indeed, just as he was summoning Artoria prematurely, in an attempt to eliminate a potential opponent, Tokiomi Tohsaka, through the priest who was acting as the referee, sensed the danger and summoned Gilgamesh in advance. Even Kirei Kotomine summoned Hassan the Hundred Faces.

So even though he summoned Artoria a year in advance, he didn't achieve any results.

However, now that Lancelot has also been summoned and is located in Fuyuki City, does this give him an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and act like a mantis stalking a cicada?

On the other side, Kitagawa Yuya calmed down from the excitement of just being transported to the Type-Moon world and summoning a Heroic Spirit. Suddenly, he realized the time he was in, and a thought couldn't help but pop into his head.

"According to the plot, Artoria shouldn't have been summoned yet at this point, so why don't I steal Avalon beforehand and summon Artoria myself?"

"If it were just me and Elena, breaking into the Einzbern family headquarters, which has a history of nearly two thousand years, it might be a bit dangerous. But if Lancelot is added to the team, we could probably take it down easily, even if we couldn't completely overwhelm them."

"Besides, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who hasn't summoned Gilgamesh yet, can't stop me at all. I can just go and steal his artifact that summons Gilgamesh beforehand!"

"And that Kirei Kotomine guy, he probably hasn't summoned Hassan the Hundred Faces yet, so can I take care of him ahead of time too?"

In an instant, Kitagawa Yu, who had broken free from the original rules of the Holy Grail War, had his mind completely opened up.

He could even dig the Greater Grail out of the ground and destroy it right now, because no one else has summoned their Heroic Spirits yet and can't stop him at all!

But in that case, even if we save the world, we lose the fun of participating in the Holy Grail War!

"What should I do? I'm so conflicted."

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell Elena and Chizuka about the current situation and discuss it with them.

However, before Elena and Chizuka could offer any advice after he finished speaking, Lancelot, who had been standing like a statue behind Elena, suddenly spoke up with a strange expression: "I'm sorry, Master, it seems I'm not the first one to be summoned."

"What?" Kitagawa Yu was taken aback.

According to the storyline, Matou Sakura was adopted into the Matou family a year before the Holy Grail War began. At that time, the others should not have summoned their Servants yet.

“I can roughly sense whether there are other Heroic Spirits through the Holy Grail,” Lancelot explained.

"Currently, besides myself, three other heroic spirits have been summoned, and I can sense that our king is among these three heroic spirits."

Kitagawa Yu was stunned for a moment again.

If Lancelot's feelings are true, then his dream of becoming Artoria's Master is doomed.

"Director Ken probably hasn't found the Conqueror's relics yet, so neither he nor Waver should have summoned any Heroic Spirits."

"Ryunosuke Uryu summoned Gildre by sheer luck, and he probably hasn't summoned him yet."

"So besides Lancelot and Artoria, the rest should be Gilgamesh of Tokiomi Tohsaka and Hassan of Kotomine Kotomine, right?"

Kitagawa Yu quickly analyzed the situation and then stopped worrying about it.

Tokiomi Tohsaka would never allow the Greater Grail to be destroyed.

Even if he proves that the Greater Grail has been corrupted by evil, the temptation of the Vortex of Origin will still make him take the risk and make a wish to the Grail at the risk of the destruction of the world.

While Lancelot retained his sanity and all his Noble Phantasms and skills without going berserk, his base stats dropped significantly.

Even if Gilgamesh makes a fool of himself, it's unlikely he could defeat Gilgamesh, not to mention that Tokiomi Tohsaka also has Hassan on his side.

"Damn it! This plot is a little different from what I knew!"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but scratch his head.

However, he quickly calmed down and thought of a very important question: Should he run away from Fuyuki City now?

The essence of the Holy Grail system is to use the Greater Grail to absorb sixty years of ley line magic, combined with the souls of six high-quality Heroic Spirits, to create a miracle called magic, which grants the victor's wish.

Therefore, as long as you defeat the six Heroic Spirits and send them into the Greater Grail, you can actually make a wish.

Now, Tokiomi Tohsaka has unjustly summoned Gilgamesh and Hassan the Hundred Faces ahead of schedule and has even taken over Fuyuki City.

Damn it, if he continues to stay in Fuyuki City with Lancelot, will Tokiomi Tohsaka bring Gilgamesh and Hassan the Hundred Faces to their door and gang up on them two by one?

Although Tokiomi Tohsaka's main target was Lancelot's heroic spirit, he believed that in order to eliminate any chance of Elaina turning the tables, Tokiomi Tohsaka would not mind taking Elaina down with him as well.

"What the hell is going on in this world? Why are they all being summoned ahead of schedule? Could this be some kind of singularity or Lostbelt dimension?"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but complain again.

Then they quickly came up with a solution to the problem: find a way to get them to add another Master and Servant!

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but glance at the sacred relics displayed in the collection room.

With so many relics, he wasn't worried about not being able to summon powerful Servants, but the problem was how to add another Master with Command Seals.

Did he exchange his wish power for a magical physique?

If he were willing to give it up, he wouldn't have hesitated in the first place!

180 points of Wish Power is really too expensive!

"Oh right! Doesn't Sakura have a talent for magic?"

As Kitagawa Yu frowned in thought, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he thought of Matou Sakura, who was nestled in his arms.

Compared to the active Anya, Matou Sakura's personality is somewhat similar to Shoko's; both are relatively quiet.

She nestled comfortably in his arms, not making a sound, secretly breathing in the incredibly reassuring scent emanating from Kitagawa Yu, like a giant rag doll.

However, her magic talent was even greater than Rin Tohsaka's. It was just that her characteristics were incompatible with the Tohsaka family's jewel magic, which is why Tokiomi Tohsaka sent her to Zouken Matou.

As for the problem that Matou Sakura is still too young and has a low level of magical power, there is a way to solve it. Just summon a Heroic Spirit that can replenish its own magical power.

Most Caster-class Servants possess similar skills or Noble Phantasms.

In addition, Medusa, who appeared in the world as a Rider in the Fifth Holy Grail War, can also replenish her mana using the Blood Temple.

In addition, Sakura can also transfer control of the Heroic Spirit, along with the Command Seals, to Irene.

With Irena's immense magical power, comparable to that of a magus from the Age of Gods, sustaining the battle of two Heroic Spirits simultaneously is not a difficult task.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Yu immediately looked down at Matou Sakura in his arms and told her about the current situation and his thoughts.

Although Matou Sakura is still young, only a year or two older than Anya, she is more mature than other children her age, perhaps because she comes from a family of magicians.

After listening, Matou Sakura nodded seriously and said in a soft but firm voice, "I am willing to become a Master for Onii-chan and participate in the Holy Grail War!"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a red pattern composed of several arcs reappeared on the back of Matou Sakura's left hand.

A powerful surge of magical energy emanated from the red pattern.

At the same time, a passage about the rules of the Holy Grail War and the way to summon Heroic Spirits inexplicably appeared in her mind, which was no different from what Kitagawa Yu had told her before.

At this point, her unease and worry subsided somewhat.

"That way, Onii-chan won't abandon me, right?" Matou Sakura thought to herself.

Although Kitagawa Yu rescued her from the insect chamber in time, the previous incident still brought about some changes. For example, if she was no longer of value, she would be discarded; if she disobeyed, she would not even get to eat and would suffer abuse from Matou Zouken.

So even though she could sense that Kitagawa Yu was different from Tohsaka Tokiomi, Tohsaka Aoi, and Matou Zouken, she was still worried that if she had no value and couldn't help Kitagawa Yu, she would be 'discarded' by him.

Sakura Matou in this state truly makes one feel sorry for her.

However, her worries were completely unnecessary, after all, Kitagawa Yu was a treasure!

Of course, even if she couldn't provide a lot of wish power, Kitagawa Yu wouldn't have the heart to throw her away.

"Thank you, Sakura."

Kitagawa Yu gently patted her head.

Sakura Matou immediately squinted her eyes comfortably, like a homeless kitten, and couldn't help but rub against his palm.

However, the most important thing now is to help Sakura summon her Heroic Spirit as soon as possible.

With it being two against two, there's less need to worry about Tokiomi Tohsaka coming after them. Gilgamesh's fighting prowess is undeniable, but his magical abilities limit his effectiveness.
