Abnormal Moon

Nakano Miku stared at him with a look of utter shock.

Lord Roy, are you not even going to let Miss Okita go?

"Stiff expression, vacant eyes..."

Roy observed Ms. Okita's expression.

It was as stiff as a regular familiar, and seemed to have no consciousness inside it.

In fact, there are also high-level familiars in the magic world that have been given personalities, and magicians who can create such familiars are one in a million.

Given Roy's skill level, it's not impossible for him to do it.

However, he had tried before during the ritual, but he was unable to give the familiar Ms. Okita a simulated personality. For some reason, his attempts all ended in failure.

Perhaps Ms. Okita is a Heroic Spirit and cannot be given a simulated personality?

Heroic Spirits are the highest-ranking familiars, and almost no one in the magic world can control such familiars. There are very few records of Heroic Spirit familiars, so Roy couldn't figure out why.

"Spiritual Clothes of Appearance."

Roy issued another order.

A magical light flashed across Ms. Okita's body, and then her familiar leg-revealing kimono and haori materialized and covered her body.

"Go out and practice your swordsmanship once."

At this command, Ms. Okita walked out of the room with a blank look in her eyes and came to the courtyard. She materialized the famous sword Kikuichimonji Norimune and began to practice the basic sword techniques of the Tennen Rishin-ryu school.

The movements themselves were very sharp, the sword swings were still very powerful, and the transitions between moves were still very exciting.

The only shortcoming was that her movements were slightly stiff.

"I still suffered from not having a sense of self."

Roy sighed slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with this flaw.

Even so, it is already very useful, but without a sense of self, it means a complete lack of autonomy and the ability to handle problems flexibly.

He's good as a fighter, but he's not quite up to par as a familiar.

A truly top-tier familiar can handle unexpected problems on its own with its own personality even without a master, but this Miss Okita in front of me has no such ability at all. She can only handle unexpected problems if I give her instructions personally.

Why can't the simulated personality be given?

Roy watched as Miss Okita practiced her swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Is it really just because it is a Heroic Spirit?

No, it shouldn't be that bad. If there's no soul inside, then some degree of simulated personality can be imparted. It's not like this—rejecting simulated personality...

Could it be that Miss Okita's soul is still in this body?

This is the most likely answer.

"Lord Roy, what's going on with Lord Okita?"

Nakano Miku also came out, looking timidly at Roy.

"No problem, you don't need to worry, this is how Heroic Spirits are used."

Roy explained something to Miku.

Then he stepped forward, made the familiar Okita stop what she was doing, opened the Imaginary Count Pocket, and put Okita inside.

Regardless, Miss Okita is an extremely powerful familiar that can completely make up for his shortcomings, so he gladly accepted the reward.

After turning Ms. Okita into a familiar, Roy went back into the basement to train his body modification abilities using dolls.

The swordsmanship of the Natural Rishin-ryu style can be practiced at any time. The key issue now is his weak physique. As the saying goes, sharpening the axe doesn't delay the work of chopping wood. Since his physique hasn't improved, there's no point in practicing swordsmanship. Anyway, he has basically obtained all the knowledge of the Natural Rishin-ryu style, so there are no difficulties in learning the swordsmanship of this style.

He buried it in the basement for several hours.

Chapter 143 You Must Not Be Afraid

"You really have the best of both worlds!"

After dinner, in the hallway.

After working all day, Rin Tohsaka wanted to rest immediately, but as soon as she saw Roy, she couldn't help but speak to him sarcastically with a jealous look on her face.

"Jealous?"

As soon as Roy heard her sour tone, he knew that she already knew about what happened last night and was in a bad mood.

He stepped forward, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

"Wait! Not here...!"

Rin Tohsaka's face turned bright red, and she quickly looked around.

After a day of rest, Hayasaka Ai, fully recovered, passed by the corridor, glanced at the two of them, and then calmly left as if nothing had happened.

Rin Tohsaka blushed crimson at her gaze.

"You're going to die!"

Rin Tohsaka raised her hand and lightly slapped Roy on the chest, spitting out her words with an embarrassed expression.

"Don't worry about it, no one will say anything."

Roy, however, remained completely calm, showing no sign of embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he chuckled and reassured her.

To Rin Tohsaka, his smile looked utterly irritating.

"Although everyone is my wings, Rin, you are special and unique to me."

That's a really scumbag thing to say.

But Roy wasn't lying.

When they first settled in Fuyuki City, Aozaki Aoko came and went in a hurry, and Touko also went out frequently. In the Fuyuki City Magic Association, Tohsaka Rin was actually the one who took the best care of Roy. Whenever a magician picked a fight with him, she would step in to protect Roy.

The reason why Roy was able to be persuaded by Rin Tohsaka's few words after taking off his glasses was because Rin Tohsaka had indeed helped him a lot and was someone he liked very much. Apart from Touko and Aoko, Rin Tohsaka was his favorite person in this city.

Of course, Rin Tohsaka helped him because he complained to Aoko Aozaki, and through her, he destroyed the Matou clan and rescued Sakura.

However, given Rin Tohsaka's personality, even if Roy hadn't done that, I believe she would still be willing to stand on Roy's side.

"How many people have you said that to?"

Rin Tohsaka smiled brightly.

But the smile didn't reach his eyes at all; instead, a cruel light flickered deep within them.

If Roy's answer fails to satisfy her, she will likely punch him without hesitation.

"I only told you that, it's not a lie."

“I-Is that so…”

Rin Tohsaka stammered for a moment.

Roy's expression was very serious, because this was indeed the first time he had said it like that.

...Hmm? Why does this feel like something I've seen before?

It seems like you've said the same thing before?

Oh well, since I don't remember, it's not important!

"Okay, let me go now, so no one can see..."

Rin Tohsaka blushed and struggled gently in his arms, not daring to use too much force. She didn't know that Roy had already modified his strength to be on par with a normal person.

"Okay."

As Roy said this, he smiled and leaned down to kiss her bright red lips.

Before Rin Tohsaka could react, everything went black as Roy's face filled her entire field of vision.

By the time she came to her senses, Roy had already let go of her.

She froze for a moment, then her face turned bright red, and she fled in a panic.

Roy couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her departing figure.

"Although it seems daring, it's actually quite innocent."

Huh?

Why would I say something that sounds like something a jerk would say?

…………

Two days later, Aozaki Touko returned.

As soon as Orange returned, Roy dragged her into the basement.

Orange was completely bewildered, thinking he had another episode. But when she saw the pile of mannequins in the basement that had been altered into a mess, she was shocked.

"What did you do to my baby?!"

"...Is this thing really that precious?"
