Abnormal Moon

Roy sat in the living room and opened the letter.

"What did you write?"

"Challenge me."

Roy flew the letter over so that Aozaki Touko could see it clearly.

"Tonight, a duel is arranged in the southwestern suburbs. The letter is signed by Bazette Fraga Macremis... She is upright and honest. I have heard of her before. Judging from this letter, she must be quite straightforward."

Aozaki Touko spoke with great interest and enthusiasm.

"Are you going? There might be a trap set by the Magic Association in there!"

"Go, why not go?"

Roy laughed nonchalantly.

"If the Magic Association dares to cause trouble, we'll turn its branches upside down!"

"Haha, interesting! Since you've made up your mind, then go for it."

night.

Roy spent the whole day resting and recuperating, keeping his energy at its peak.

“Saber.”

"Yes, Master!"

Ms. Okita materialized and appeared in front of Roy.

After two days of rest, Ms. Okita looked radiant, as if her previous near-death appearance was an illusion.

"That's Okita Souji..."

In the courtyard, Nakano Miku, who was tending to the farmhouse, looked at Ms. Okita with shining eyes, as if she had been waiting for a long time, seemingly very interested in her.

Although she already knew, Miku was still overjoyed to actually see the beautiful Okita.

And a tremendous shock, like the collapse of one's worldview.

Okita Souji is actually a girl!

"Miku."

Ichika Nakano nudged her arm, signaling her to quickly look away.

Miku snapped out of her daze, her delicate body trembled, and she quickly shrank back like an ostrich.

She only wanted to take a look, but once she did, she couldn't resist.

My urge to complain is just too strong.

Of course, in reality, Roy didn't care at all whether she looked or not.

"Lord Roy, I'll prepare a midnight snack for you when you return."

Kasumigaoka Utaha arrived at the front yard, composed herself, and offered Roy her sincere blessings.

"Okay, could you please make something hot?"

Roy waved to her and left the Aozaki residence with Ms. Okita.

In the southwest corner of Fuyuki City, there is a raised slope.

Unlike the crowded city center, this is a famous luxury residential area in Fuyuki City, where at least villas and even small castles are located, all in a European style.

Those who live here are all distinguished magicians.

This desolate southwest corner, devoid of any ordinary people, is perfectly suited as a battleground for Servants.

This is the venue that Bazette carefully selected.

Even if Servants fight here, it will not affect ordinary people.

When Roy arrived, Bazett had already been waiting there for quite some time.

"My intuition was right when we were at the city hall."

On the desolate clearing, Bazett put on leather rune gloves, his sharp eyes piercing Roy like knives.

"You are the prisoner who trespassed into the underground cavern and used the Greater Grail to summon Saber ahead of schedule! You came into contact with the Greater Grail and were infected by its curse, yet you were still able to maintain your composure. To be honest, I admire you."

Although he already knew that Roy was the criminal, Bazett still praised Roy's will quite frankly.

Under the curse of the Greater Grail, even top-tier magicians would find it difficult to withstand one or two outbreaks of the curse. The curse, which had accumulated for ten years, was not even in the same league as the curses found in the wild.

"To be honest, meeting you at that time was an accident."

This time, Roy didn't hold back anymore and spoke with regret.

"I have no grudge against you, and I even admire your character. In a world full of filth and magicians, you are able to maintain your integrity, which is truly a breath of fresh air."

"Thank you for the compliment. I have also heard the rumors about you. Because of your identity as an android, you are looked down upon by many magicians. However, you are highly regarded in the guard. Many people have been saved by you and have received your care. If possible, I would not like to be your enemy."

Bazett also genuinely admired Roy's character and conduct, and his expression was very serious as he spoke.

Magicians are all selfish and self-serving. At the slightest sign of trouble, they will run away faster than anyone else, not caring at all about the lives of ordinary people. Magicians like Roy are extremely rare.

Before them, the blonde girl and the blue-haired youth exchanged a speechless glance.

Why don't you two become sworn brothers?

The blue-haired youth was dressed in a druid's robe, holding a wooden staff in his hand. He had a dashing and unrestrained demeanor, and was indeed Cú Chulainn of the Caster class.

He probably doesn't have any Odin's components in his body.

Odin may be observing this world just like Primordial Celestial, but he wouldn't personally intervene. There's no huge plot hole like in the FGO world here... well, it's really hard to say!

"Before we begin, I have something to ask you."

Bazette stretched his limbs, his expression gradually turning cold.

“You stole a portion of my clan’s family’s heirloom magic mark during our last encounter. I hope you can return that portion of the mark.”

Roy smiled slightly, shrugged, and remained silent.

It was a clear rejection.

Bazett sighed.

"So it really won't work. Then we'll have to let our strength speak for itself!"

Chapter 59 Rematch with Bazett

The battle began as if tolling a bell, simultaneously and without prior agreement.

The moment the battle began, the blue-haired Caster Cú Chulainn charged out first, twirling his wand as if it were a spear, and thrusting it forward.

In the blink of an eye, the air was pierced, and a thin halo of smoke spread through the space.

The tip of the staff, like a thorn, attacked Okita Souji.

Miss Okita was surprised by this combat technique that was completely incompatible with Caster, but she was not surprised by it. Her hands moved with incredible speed, parrying the tip of the staff with a single slash and taking the opportunity to cut towards Cú Chulainn's arms.

But Cú Chulainn gave her no chance. He grinned and, the instant his wand was cleaved in two, he thrust out a second and a third wand with lightning speed.

For a moment, the tip of the staff was as dazzling as a riot of flowers.

Okita Souji couldn't find a single breakthrough in a short period of time.

Her expression was stern.

Before coming here, the Master had already told her Caster's real name and guessed roughly what Caster's fighting style was.

As it turns out, the Master's information was indeed correct.

This Caster, although a magician, has exceptionally sharp marksmanship!

The fact that she could completely block the attack of a Caster, a class with very weak basic stats, shows how superb her marksmanship is.

If he were to appear in the world as a Lancer, he might be in danger.

"But now, I won't lose!"

Okita Souji's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his aura actually decreased.

With a flash, she crossed the distance between them and appeared directly in front of Cú Chulainn.

Shrink the earth!

Ms. Okita's B-rank Shrinking Ground technique has reached the pinnacle of footwork. She has honed her breathing, blind spots, and awareness to the peak, which is why she can use such a divine footwork that appears to the opponent as if she were teleporting!

If there's anything beyond that, it would only be at the level of dimensional leap.

Ms. Okita is the epitome of footwork that a human can achieve!

Cú Chulainn was also taken aback by this move, but he reacted extremely quickly, retreating on the spot, retracting his staff, and blocking this attack that was so close to a surprise attack.

It got blocked again?!

Ms. Okita was very upset.

"Don't underestimate me, little girl! If I can't even overcome this level of hardship, and the Queen of the Demon Realm finds out, I'll be tortured to death!"
