Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Bazette was somewhat puzzled.

After all, in the eyes of a magician who had worked for the Magic Association for many years, Bai Yigong's reputation was still very high.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be called the King Without a Crown.

but...

"You mean him? It's not that I've forgotten him, it's just that I personally feel—it doesn't matter."

Roland's voice remained gentle.

“Nero Chaos is tied up by the Blackwing Lord, and I already had a plan for Vanfem… As for the Whitewing Lord and his group of Dead Apostles, even if they contact a few lone Death Ancestors, what can they do?”

"Artoria can easily lead you all out of here unscathed. Besides, Iskandar isn't far from you. With his support, you'll have enough to deal with the White Winged Lord, and it'll be just right."

"After you were safe, Black Princess and White Princess mainly had their own troubles, but White Wing Prince... he wasn't really a trouble."

When Bazette heard Roland practically say that he wasn't worthy of such a statement, she nodded to indicate that she understood.

After listening to Bazett's explanation, Roland didn't contact Rin Tohsaka, whom he hadn't been able to reach yet, but instead contacted Cú Chulainn, whom he had already contacted once before.

Or rather, he was mainly looking for Shinji Matou.

Previously, Roland had asked Shinji Matou to integrate the Matou family's business resources and start operating them.

However, this power is still too small.

Roland knew that Vanfem would readily accept challenges from others, and even if a mystical force began to venture into commerce, he would proactively approach them to discuss cooperation or something else.

But only those who have the power to catch the eye of this financial tycoon must possess a certain amount of influence.

Previously, Roland had planned to let Shinji Matou manage things slowly.

But now that a deadly war is about to break out in Europe, this is the perfect opportunity for me to get involved.

So he wanted to draw Vanfem's attention before the war started.

In this case...

The plan to sell various goods made from materials from the dangerous species world of the Type-Moon universe, and then use the industrial power of the Type-Moon universe to feed back into the world of the Killer Eye, is about to begin!

....

23. Rin Tohsaka: Roland, is Aika your ex-girlfriend?

After Roland arranged the relevant matters for Matou Shinji, he was thinking of talking to Tohsaka Rin about the communication function. However, he did not expect that after Bazett told him some important information, Tohsaka Rin had now sent another message.

"Roland...have you been to Northern Europe before?"

"Roland...you've had any romantic relationships before, like ex-girlfriends or something."

"Roland, it doesn't have to be from Northern Europe, the Far East is fine too. If you have any, could you tell me about them?"

Roland was genuinely bewildered when he heard Rin Tohsaka probe his intentions like this as he inquired about her recent situation.

If you were to ask Rin Tohsaka before he came to the world of Akame ga Kill! and before he knew that his transmigration directly matched his identity in another world, then Rin Tohsaka's question would be really hard to answer.

After all, Roland's lifestyle wasn't exactly great before he met Medea.

Although everyone agrees in advance to enjoy the experience together and then part ways... it's hard to say whether Rinma Tohsaka might run into one of them.

Roland came here based on a matched identity.

This setting has become a mere background element in the identity story; without Roland's past romantic experiences before his time travel to support it, it's frighteningly empty.

So

"No, I've never been to Northern Europe, and I don't have an ex-girlfriend—just tell me what's wrong, what's going on?"

Upon hearing Roland's question, Rin Tohsaka finally spoke after a sigh.

“I’m still in Northern Europe, near my distant relatives’ home… I met someone here who was looking for someone named Roland. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence of names, but after she described the features and even drew a sketch, I knew it must be you.”

Even Rin Tohsaka never doubted the possibility that Roland might have a brother.

After all, Ayaka Sajou's sketching skills are too good. She is almost a combination of talents. The sketch of Roland not only looks the same, but you can also feel her expression and that very unique temperament.

It can only be Roland.

Who is looking for me?

Roland was even more confused than Rin Tohsaka.

After he traveled to Fuyuki City, he never left Fuyuki City in the Type-Moon world, and the number of people who knew him was limited... Thinking of this, Roland realized what was going on.

Yes, he knows a limited number of people, so by using the process of elimination, he can pinpoint the target in the shortest amount of time.

So Roland guessed who it was.

"Is the other person's name Saya Aika?"

"Yes! You knew her before?"

Upon hearing that Roland knew Aika Sajou, Rin Tohsaka's voice suddenly rose several octaves.

You even said you didn't have an ex-girlfriend!

The woman Rin Tohsaka knew, Ayaka Sajou, was a beautiful and elegant person who was always composed in everything she did and always had a gentle smile on her face.

The other person rarely showed any negative emotions, but only when Roland was mentioned could Rin Tohsaka sense a hint of something that was hard to describe as either resentment or joy.

Why would someone with a casual relationship react this way?

"We did meet once."

Roland knew what Rin Tohsaka was thinking when he heard her raise her voice, but it was too troublesome to explain, so he didn't. From Rin's attitude, Roland could also tell that his last meeting with Ayaka Sajou had indeed left a deep impression on her.

"If you see her, please apologize to her for me. It's not that I'm leaving without saying goodbye, it's just that she left in a hurry last time, and I can only go to that place once."

"So if she wants to find me, tell her to come to Fuyuki. She can contact me through the Umbrella Corporation in Fuyuki City."

The Umbrella Corporation was established by Roland after he had Matou Shinji consolidate the Matou family's business power. Rin Tohsaka knew about this plan before she left Fuyuki City, and even participated in the meeting to name the company, so she was fully aware of it.

"Okay, then I'll tell her. Before, because I didn't know about your relationship, I was too afraid to tell her. Now I'm relieved."

At this point, Rin Tohsaka suddenly realized something and quickly spoke up.

"By the way, if Aika comes to see you, she might bring someone with her, a nun named Karen, who is Kirei Kotomine's daughter. She's supposedly going to thank you for killing her father... Ah, I can't understand their messy family relationships at all, but I feel like what she said is definitely true."

Karen...

After hearing the name, Roland first agreed, and then he reminded Rin Tohsaka of something.

"Rin, don't go to the Clock Tower for now. Just stay with your distant relatives and sister. There's a lot of activity from the Dead Ancestors in Europe right now, which could even cause large-scale riots."

"Although Bazett told me that the main conflict areas between the Dead Ancestors are in the southern part of Europe and slightly closer to the center, which is not very close to the north where you are, you should still be careful."

"And don't worry about Bazett. I know you still have your distant relatives and sister there, so I told Bazett to go to Iskandar for help if things get really bad. Iskandar has his army of Servants, and if all else fails, we're here for you. So you just need to protect your distant relatives and sister."

Hearing Roland say that, Rin Tohsaka sighed.

"Are you sure you don't need my and Ishtar's strength? If so, I'll arrange things here as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely call you in advance if I really need anything."

"Ah."

Rin Tohsaka felt relieved after hearing Roland's words, and then chatted with Roland for a while before hanging up.

After discussing this with Rin Tohsaka, the arrangements in Europe were pretty much finalized.

As for the Einzbern family—when Ilya returned, she brought back all of the Einzbern family's wealth, so there was no problem at all.

If there are any other problems...

"~Cú Chulainn, have Shinji focus on developing the pharmaceutical sector in the next phase of the Umbrella Corporation's plans... Food and medicine made from materials of Dangerous Species can be sold in a concentrated manner. At the same time, contact Medea and ask her to help make some potions when she has time to sell them regularly as rare commodities."

"In short, before the plan begins, I want to create the impression that Umbrella Corporation is a pharmaceutical company established by mystical forces."

Roland made new arrangements for this area.

Then he finally let out a long breath.

The situation is different in Europe compared to Kuon no Tori.

The Kuon no Tori team still needs to wait for the other player to make their move, but the European team can make their move ahead of time.

Roland originally only had his sights set on Vanfem.

Furthermore, if Bai Yigong is in the way, it wouldn't be a bad idea to eliminate him and use that to gain fame.

Vanfem is someone who can be won over.

However, Bai Yigong could not—he was preparing to resurrect the first of the twenty-seven ancestors, the Dark Sixth King, and also advocated killing the last True Ancestor, which showed that he had some ambition, so it would be more beneficial to eliminate him.

And if we do that... then the target can be aimed at the other side, Xin.

As for Arcueid the White Princess, she is currently in weapon form, making it too troublesome to place a piece on her side. However, as for Arcueid the Black Princess... her injuries were sustained during her battle with Arcueid.

She achieved her goal with Arcueid, taking away Arcueid's long hair and keeping her with short hair.

She herself was injured in that battle.

If Arcueid's hair is still short, how could it possibly return to its original shape?

So once the matter with Vanfem is resolved, I'll spread the reputation of the Umbrella Corporation, and with those potions... Eltrauge, under the pressure from the Whitewing Duke, will surely want to heal her injuries.
