Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Roland, on the other hand, returned to the Type-Moon world.

After all, more than two months had passed, and the day of the first match between Garan no Tō and Kuon no Tō, which they had agreed upon, had arrived.

....

25. The Ancient Bird

After returning to Fuyuki City, Roland went to the underground workshop.

Although the Supreme Throne has begun to be modified, it is not even a half-finished product yet—after all, it is not something that can be completed in just three months. It is estimated that no matter how fast the progress is, it will take about a whole year.

The entry participating in this competition is a miniature mechanical god modified from the Shura incarnation noble chariot.

Using dangerous materials and Orichalcos as a base, a large number of mysterious technologies were added, and then Aozaki Touko's magic was used to give it life.

Although it still requires a human to drive, its strength is far beyond what the previous Shura incarnation noble chariot could compare to. In addition, since it comes from another world, just like when Roland saved Tiamat, many of the Type-Moon world's targeted or conceptual skills are ineffective against it. Its name has also been changed to Pseudo-Machine God Shura.

However, the demon-possessed pilots in their armor hadn't moved yet.

Because being possessed by evil spirits is different from being an incarnation of an Asura.

Asura Incarnation is an improved version of Demon Possession, with enhanced basic power but lost abilities such as invisibility. However, the muscles of the dragon-type Dangerous Species, which were the material used to create Demon Possession, are still alive. This is the core part and the reason why Demon Possession has the ability to evolve.

The Asura incarnation was made to die completely for safety reasons.

Therefore, the Asura incarnation is easier to modify, and its value is not as high as that of the demonic possession.

As for the demonic possession, Medea intends to make it one of the components of the Mecha Throne, which will be transformed from the Supreme Throne.

So this time, Roland, Medea, and Aozaki Touko took the pseudo-machine god Shura to the location of the first match.

Misaki City.

This competition was initiated by the Birds of Long Time. They decided on the content and location of the first competition.

Aozaki Aoko originally wanted to set the location in a more distant place, but the witch she lived with was obviously somewhat averse to going out, so the first match was ultimately set in the outskirts of Misaki City.

Aozaki Aoko has already applied to the local church for details.

Because of their many connections, the local church was aware of the Aozaki family's situation and did not intervene. They had also prepared a statement to be released in the news afterward to explain the situation to the public.

After reading the copy once, Aozaki Aoko felt that the whole thing could be summed up in four words: "gas explosion."

Initially, Aozaki Aoko felt that the explanation was too crude, but the local church showed her the case of Fuyuki City, and in the end, Aozaki Aoko handed the matter over to the church completely.

A gas explosion is a gas explosion; it can be explained. As long as someone takes care of the surrounding area if it accidentally spreads, that's fine.

"Hey, Yuuka, you were the one who decided to hold the competition on the outskirts of Misaki City, so why did I have to apply...? I got scolded by Yuika again, and that idiot Ritsuka just happened to be there too..."

Thinking about everything that had just happened at the church, the woman with long crimson hair, dressed simply and casually, slumped on the sofa in the hall, sighing.

As the true owner of this house, the witch, Kuonji Yuzu, frowned unconsciously when she saw her roommate and magic apprentice like this.

“I told you to apply when I sent out the invitation, but you didn’t go then and kept putting it off until now. The church wasn’t prepared at all. They were suddenly notified that this would happen in a few days. They were already being very gentle by only saying a few words to you.”

Yuzhu sat down opposite Aoko, poured herself a cup of tea, and started talking while drinking it.

Apart from initially frowning, her expression and tone remained neutral, neither sad nor happy.

Unlike Aoko, who wore a thin white top and jeans, Yuzhu was dressed almost entirely in black. Combined with her short black hair that reached her shoulders and her pale, almost sickly skin from staying at home for so long, she created a striking visual impact at first glance.

Furthermore, because her clothing styles are still those popular ten years or even earlier, there is a subtle generational gap between her and the clothes worn by young people today. So just by seeing her, you can probably feel that sense of alienation from the world.

"hey-hey."

Hearing Ayumi say that, Aoko scratched her head and chuckled twice, then sat down opposite Ayumi, skillfully picked up a teacup, and poured herself a cup as well.

Yu-joo really hates it when people touch her things.

Taking even one step into her house without her permission would make her frown.

But after all, he had spent so many years with Aozaki Aoko, so Aoko still had a certain degree of immunity in this regard.

"By the way, Yuzhu, you were the one who suggested the competition, and you wouldn't even let me participate—have you prepared the Mystic Code for the first competition?"

When Aozaki Aoko asked this question, Yuzhu nodded slightly.

"I'm ready... or rather, I'll only set the first match to this format after I obtain this Mystic Code."

"I've already experimented with Akihachi, Amber, and Emerald at Akihachi's place. The Mystic Code we obtained before can indeed disable other Mystic Codes, even dolls and familiars. It's very effective against magicians like me and Touko. In this kind of competition, as long as it continues to work, we'll win."

When Aoi said that, Aozaki Aoko understood.

"Oh, so we'll just bring out this Mystic Code and activate its effect. If Orange can activate it again, then they win; otherwise, we win, right?"

"Correct."

Yu-chu remained as indifferent as ever.

However, she wasn't as calm as she appeared. She was still somewhat concerned about whether she could beat Orange once—otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten involved in this pointless sisterly rivalry, nor would she have put so much effort into developing the Long-Aged Bird over the years.

Unlike Aozaki Touko, who always stayed in her magic workshop and spent most of her time researching magic.

Aozaki Aoko has been traveling around a lot over the years, and she will look for talented people to bring back to her, and then Arisu, who has been staying in Misaki City, will train them.

The Kuon no Tori Magic Society currently has seven members.

Aozaki Aoko, Kuonji Yuzu, Tono Akiha, Kohaku, Hishi, Asagami Fujino, and Yumizaka Satsuki.

Aozaki Touko knew about the first six.

However, Yumizuka Satsuki was discovered by Aozaki Aoko by chance during her last trip.

She is a very self-disciplined and quiet child.

However, when Aoko found her, she had already become a vampire. Aoko saved her and helped her gain her freedom, and then Aoko pulled her into Kuon no Tori.

After Ayumi discovered her talent that blossomed due to her vampire transformation, she became a hidden trump card for Kudono.

However, neither Aoko nor Yuzuki could have imagined that Roland knew Satsuki Yumizuka because Satsuki Yumizuka had appeared in Tsukihime.

They even knew about her inherent barrier, the withered courtyard.

It is clearer now that the purpose of the Barren Garden Realm is to deplete and drain the magical energy within it.

Therefore, this hidden trump card will probably be revealed the moment Roland learns its name.

"In that case, there's nothing to worry about. But it'll just be the two of us going, what about the others?"

Everyone else has their own things to do.

Yuzhu answered Aoko in this way.

“The affairs of the Tono family still need to be managed by Akiha, and Fujino also needs to manage the affairs of the Asagami family. After all, the reason why you can travel around without any burden and spend money lavishly is because Akiha and Fujino are managing the finances of our association, so the two of them are very busy.”

“Amber and Emerald are helping Akiha deal with all sorts of messy things, while May is helping Fujino, so it’s just the two of us who are involved.”

"Besides, for a Mystic Code competition, the two of us should be enough, right?"

Upon hearing Aoko's explanation, Aozaki nodded in agreement.

"That's true. Instead of thinking about that, we should think about what we'll compete in next after we win the first match—hmm... how about a fighting match? Although I'm not that good at techniques, I'm quite good at causing destruction. Everyone's working so hard, so I should try my best too!"

Seeing Aozaki Aoko say this so smugly, Yuzu would think of Tono Akiha's rather unpleasant expression every time she had to clean up after Aozaki Aoko.

However, she ultimately didn't say anything.

After all these years, not only Aoko, but everyone else in the society knew what kind of person she was.

If it were effective, it would have worked long ago.

So in the end, as Aoko spoke with great enthusiasm, Ayumi picked up a book from her side and slowly began to respond with "hmm," "yes," and "okay."

Today, the ancient bird is as peaceful as ever.

In the underground of Misaki City, in a dark space where almost no light can be seen, Rahmu and Roya remain.

"The first competition is about to begin, and that formal dress you sent out indirectly is quite nice~"

Roya said with a smile, while Rahmu snorted coldly.

"Of course it's good!"

"The formal attire itself is nothing special, but it contains a trace of power from my mother that is within my control—almost everything in this world comes from my mother, so those messy powers will naturally lose their effect when facing my mother!"

Rahmu always spoke with great pride about his mother, Tiamat.

While Roya nodded repeatedly, he used Rahmu's words to obtain information about Tiamat.

He has already obtained a lot of information about Tiamat from Rahmu.

One of the issues is that the other party is trapped in the imaginary space, and how to find the other party in the imaginary space, and... that Tiamat placed some kind of self-sealing on herself, and used the self-sealing to form an individual called the Daughter of Destiny.

Roya didn't tell Rahmu that he actually had a way to enter the imaginary space and come out of it.

While the technique of imaginary stealth is considered impractical or even unusable due to its risks, it is different for Roya.

He has an eternal connection with that princess, Bai Ji.

This gave Roya other ideas.

He needed more information about Tiamat, and was also refining his reincarnation technique.

His ability to be reborn into Mikiya Kokutou's body, instead of starting from infancy and growing up again, is a successful example of this new reincarnation technique.

Once he is fully prepared, he will go to the imaginary space to find Tiamat and then reincarnate into the body of that fateful woman who has little ability to act or act independently and does not resist anything!
