Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Kitagawa Yu, and I am one of the seven Masters in this Holy Grail War."

"Part Two?"

“That’s right, both of these Heroic Spirits are my Servants,” Kitagawa Yu said.

This was something he had discussed with Elaina and the others, as well as Lancelot and Medusa. In order to protect the safety of Elaina and Matou Sakura, he would act as the apparent Master to attract any possible sneak attacks.

He is a martial artist of considerable strength, and his intuition is far superior to that of the witch Elaina. In addition, he has the protective power of Murasame (and the protective power of a certain foolish goddess girl), so his ability to deal with sudden crises is obviously better than that of Elaina and Matou Sakura.

"Huh? A Master can control two Servants at the same time? How is that possible?" Waver, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Heroic Spirit Summoning is essentially a kind of spirit summoning magic. Certain settings can be added or removed by modifying the incantation. In addition, if a Master willingly gives their Command Seals and Heroic Spirit to another Master, it is also possible to have two Heroic Spirits at the same time with the help of certain magic. However, as a price, the mana consumption will also increase significantly," Kitagawa Yuuki explained, half-jokingly and half-jokingly.

Waver initially wore the attentive expression of a good student, but when he heard about magic power, he paused for a moment, then seemed to realize that maintaining the existence of a Heroic Spirit required the continuous consumption of the Master's magic power, which instantly changed his expression.

"Does a Heroic Spirit's magical power come from their Master? What if I don't have enough magical power?" Waver asked nervously.

“Well,” Kitagawa Yu shrugged and said, “because the Greater Grail costs a portion of magic power, most magicians have enough magic power to sustain the daily activities of a Heroic Spirit.”

"As for combat, if possible, we should finish the battle quickly and then slowly recover our mana."

"If all else fails, then use Command Seals. Each Command Seal is enough to fully restore a Heroic Spirit's depleted magical energy once. Three Command Seals will give you three chances."

"But what if the Servants stop obeying after we run out of Command Spells?" Waver glanced at Iskandar and asked in a weak, low voice.

She looked just like a wronged little wife, which almost made Kitagawa Yuu laugh.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Although Heroic Spirits are Servants, they are not puppets or familiars. They have thoughts and intelligence."

"You're absolutely right, kid. I'm starting to admire you, haha!" Iskandar's hearty laughter echoed through the room, making the whole house seem to tremble.

"How about joining my ranks with your heroic spirit, and then conquering the world together?" Iskandar habitually extended a recruitment invitation to Kitagawa Yu, whom he admired.

"I'm sorry, I'm not particularly interested in conquering the world."

Before Iskandar could speak again, Kitagawa Yu quickly steered the somewhat off-topic conversation back to the current state of the Holy Grail War.

"Weber's wish is to defeat his teacher Kenneth and prove to him that he is a great magician."

"This is a formidable opponent. As one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, to put it bluntly, he is strong enough to easily kill a hundred Waver."

"His heroic spirit is currently unknown, but based on the information I have gathered, it should be the Caster class. This class has a unique ability to construct powerful magical bases and usually possesses powerful, wide-range attack magic."

"In addition, the Heroic Spirit who appears in the world this time as an Archer is Gilgamesh, the 'Oldest King' and 'King of Heroes'. His Noble Phantasm, Gate of Babylon, can throw an unlimited number of Noble Phantasms into the treasury. At the same time, his true strongest Noble Phantasm, Ea, is an EX-rank Anti-World Noble Phantasm with the ability to cut through the world. It can be said to completely counter you and your Noble Phantasm."

When it came to serious matters, Iskandar's face also showed a serious expression.

However, if you listen carefully, you can still hear him muttering words like "the oldest king" and "the king of heroes" under his breath, probably because he is very curious about and resentful of Gilgamesh.

Of course, what he was most curious about was: "You actually know about my Noble Phantasm?"

Kitagawa Yu smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "Since I have approached Waver and chosen him as my ally, and even know that there is a bond between him and you that is enough to summon you without the need for a relic, it is normal for me to know some unknown information, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's true. Your magicians' methods are indeed amazing; you can even create something like an all-powerful wish-granting machine."

Iskandar first made a sarcastic remark, then said, "If your intelligence is correct, then it seems we do need to form an alliance. So, what do you need me to do for you?"

"Deplete it!" Kitagawa Yu didn't care about Iskandar's feelings and said bluntly, "Your Royal Army has too many troops, and you also have the World of the Mind as a support. Not to mention anti-army Noble Phantasms, even anti-city Noble Phantasms can't deal with your Noble Phantasms. So I need you to use the Royal Army to help me deplete King Arthur's magic power and the Command Seals in his Master's hands when necessary."

“Hmm, King Arthur?” Iskandar raised an eyebrow.

Although the exact timeline of the Arthurian legend is unverifiable, it is likely later than that of Alexander the Great, who was active around 300 BC.

Waver, however, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing King Arthur's name, his reaction even more excited than when he first saw Iskandar.

This is understandable, as magicians are much more familiar with King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the great magician Merlin than with Alexander the Great.

"Is this King Arthur very powerful and famous?" Iskandar turned to Webber and asked, his posture almost like an emperor asking a minister.

However, Weber, in his excitement, clearly did not notice this.

"Of course he's amazing! That's King Arthur! The legendary eternal king, the immortal king, the king of knights, whose character was incomparably noble and whose strength was unparalleled."

Just like before, whether Webber was showing off intentionally or it was just his nature, his mouth was chattering away like it had a Gatling gun, going on and on for a good five or six minutes. Even Iskandar couldn't stand it anymore and had to interrupt him.

"Alright, alright, I get it. He's just a king who's very strong in individual combat but not very good at managing a country, right? Such a guy is more suited to be my general than a king. If he were my general, and if he were really as powerful and virtuous as you say, then my desire to conquer the world would be much easier to achieve."

It must be said that Iskandar's assessment was spot on.

History has proven time and again that it is not a good thing for a king to be too principled. At the same time, the most important ability of a king is not fighting or governing a country, but managing his subordinates and leading people.

If Artoria possessed the same 'ability' as Liu Bang or Liu Bei, Camelot wouldn't have perished in internal strife before even lasting a lifetime.

"King Arthur's Noble Phantasm, Excalibur, is an A++ rank anti-city Noble Phantasm. However, this Noble Phantasm has a very powerful characteristic: it grows stronger with the strength of her belief. The stronger her belief, the greater the power of the Noble Phantasm. So even if it clashes with an EX rank anti-army or anti-city Noble Phantasm, as long as her belief is strong enough, King Arthur will definitely win."

Webber, standing to the side, had unconsciously opened his mouth wide, imagining the powerful force of the curry stick.

He thought to himself how wonderful it would be if he could become the chosen one like King Arthur, wielding the invincible Curry stick, punching the Clock Tower noble school, and trampling on Kenneth, his teacher who looked down on him.

However, Iskandar, who was standing to the side, keenly noticed Kitagawa Yu's way of addressing King Arthur.

"Her? Could King Arthur be a woman?"

Chapter 166 This Heroic Spirit is Abnormal

The warm sea breezes from the Aegean Sea give Macedonia a warm climate that is completely different from London, where the weather has already turned cool.

But Kenneth, who had just arrived in Macedonia, felt even colder inside than when he was in London.

"The seventh Master has appeared? And he completed the Heroic Spirit Summoning right away? So now out of the seven Masters, I'm the only one who hasn't summoned a Heroic Spirit yet?"

"Damn it! Don't they need to prepare relics to summon heroic spirits?!"

Kenneth couldn't help but mutter curses.

Of course, he also knew that the other party had likely prepared the relics in advance and was already certain that he would be chosen by the Greater Grail before becoming the Master.

However, this outcome is undoubtedly even worse.

Furthermore, after the arrival of the sixth Servant, the Greater Grail has 'notified' him, the Master, that the Holy Grail War is about to officially begin, urging him to summon a Servant to participate in the battle as soon as possible, or he will be disqualified.

This is more than a year ahead of the original time!

"Damn it! Are we really going to abandon Alexander the Great and use the backup relic?" In the most luxurious hotel suite in Macedonia, Kenneth ignored his fiancée's concerned question and became conflicted with a conflicted expression.

Ultimately, driven by his pride, he still wanted to pursue a stronger Heroic Spirit, so he forced himself to give himself three more days.

If Iskandar's artifacts cannot be found within three days, he will use the spare artifacts to summon him.

But what he didn't know was.

Just after the Einzbern family detected through the backdoor system that the fifth Heroic Spirit, Medusa, had arrived at the Matou family's location, Emiya Kiritsugu and the Einzbern family patriarch Eubusstaukhaid discussed the matter and decided to activate the Einzbern family's backup plan in the Holy Grail system, summoning a Heroic Spirit of the Arbiter or Avenger class to enhance their own faction's strength.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya disagreed with Haid and Artoria on whether to summon the Arbiter or the Avenger.

Haid still harbors resentment over the previous summoning of the 'useless' Angra Newman, which led to the Einzbern family's crushing defeat, so he believes that the Arbiter class should be summoned instead.

Artoria was unaware of the truth about Angra Newman; she only saw the internal records of the Einzbern family and assumed that the Avenger class summoned mostly evil-aligned Heroic Spirits, so she also opposed summoning the Avenger class.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya didn't care whether the Heroic Spirits were righteous or evil; in his eyes, they were just tools in his hands.

Moreover, he actually prefers the 'evil' heroic spirits to the 'righteous' ones. Otherwise, if he were to summon a 'pedantic' guy like Artoria who only knows about chivalry all day long, he would really have a headache.

In the end, the arm can't twist the thigh.

Compared to the Einzbern family, who are not good at fighting, Kiritsugu Emiya is obviously their trump card. Otherwise, they wouldn't have married Irisviel to Kiritsugu Emiya to win him over to represent them in battle.

After resolving the differences in class, the next step is to choose which artifact to use.

Unlike Kenneth, who had to find them on the spot, the Einzbern family had prepared for hundreds of years, and their collection of relics was extremely rich, several times more than that of Zouken Matou.

Only artifacts like Avalon require them to excavate them.

Considering that the Holy Grail War was to take place in Fuyuki City, Japan, Kiritsugu Emiya consulted numerous historical records and legends before finally choosing a rusty matchlock lance.

Meanwhile, because Kenneth ran off to Macedonia, the plan to seize the recipe for the Mystic Code: Moon Spirit Essence failed. After thinking for a moment, Kitagawa Yu accepted Iskandar's suggestion and temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​chasing after Kenneth to Macedonia. Instead, he chose to fly to Germany and head directly to the Winter Castle, where the Einzbern family headquarters was located.

"I prefer to take the initiative to attack rather than passively defend."

"Worrying about being ambushed all the time is too troublesome. Why don't we just take care of that guy who likes to ambush and eliminate him from the game?"

"But seriously, King Arthur was actually a woman? That's just unbelievable!"

It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but along the way, Iskandar seemed to be leaning towards Waver, intentionally or unintentionally instilling his ideals and ambitions in Waver and Kitagawa Yu.

It seems they still intend to recruit Kitagawa Yu and the others into their ranks.

Lancelot turned his head expressionlessly, staring at Iskandar, the Unbreakable Lake Light at his waist seemingly ready to be drawn at any moment and slash at Iskandar's head.

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean to look down on King Arthur. I'm just surprised, you know? A delicate woman—"

“Our Queen is not weak! She is invincible!” Lancelot coldly corrected.

"--Well, okay, a woman should enjoy life and love, but instead she has to shoulder the burden of a country. It's truly admirable and regrettable."

Iskandar shook his head as he spoke.

In his view, it was far too difficult for a delicate young girl to become a queen and shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving and managing a country.

Kitagawa Yu shared the same thought as him on this point, therefore...

“You’re right, we should rescue our king from that curse called the King as soon as possible!”

"Although Artoria might disagree."

"But it's okay, three against one, we have a great chance of winning!"

Iskandar glanced at Kitagawa Yu with surprise, as if he had only just noticed.

Among this group, he wasn't the only one who could make such a morally questionable act of striking first seem so righteous; there was also Kitagawa Yu.

For a time, he began to value and appreciate Kitagawa Yu even more.

Without a doubt, after eliminating his other rivals, Kitagawa Yu will be a major enemy for him.

However, what neither he nor Kitagawa Yu had expected was that, due to the Einzbern family's cheating once again, the difficulty of their 'King Arthur Rescue Operation,' which they had originally thought was a sure thing, suddenly increased significantly.
