Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

In addition, this was a competition, and he hid outside the field. Artoria knew that he had to test his skills, so he never looked for his real body. Otherwise, even if he could win, it would not be so easy.

As for the fact that he has never used the entrance to the imaginary space to attack Altria, there is nothing much to say.

Altria also didn't use any Noble Phantasm.

Otherwise, if he were to be hit head-on by a light cannon, he wouldn't know whether the imaginary barrier on his body could be maintained, and he wouldn't know how much magic power he would have to consume to sink all the light cannons into the imaginary space.

So Roland can still face himself.

But it is indeed possible to put the matter of dealing with Gilgamesh on the agenda, and the scabbard of Artoria is still with Medea, so let's give it to Artoria - if we want to deal with Gilgamesh, it is better to take all the necessary precautions.

Besides dealing with Gilgamesh...

If Roland remembered correctly, there was a scene in the Fifth Holy Grail War where Gilgamesh attacked Einzbern Castle.

I still have to get ahead of him.

After all, although Gilgamesh will not join the group of gods, Hercules can still try to recruit him.

In addition, if Gilgamesh is not counted, there are still two servants who have not joined his side and have not left the field... Now there are five servants on his side, even if Hercules needs to leave the field, the combat power is sufficient.

With this in mind, Roland reviewed the competition with Altria after it was over and asked Altria for some comments on his shortcomings.

Then Roland classified these shortcomings and thought about them for a while. It was not until Medea cleaned up the place with the help of Baimao that Roland expressed his thoughts.

"Everyone, the Holy Grail War has progressed to this point. The only Servants who have not joined us or left are Berserker and Archer."

"Among them, I'm still a little unsure which one of the Tousaka family and the Matou family is the participant this time, but I can be sure of the Einzbern family, it's definitely a participant."

"After all, the Einzbern family is not in Fuyuki. If they didn't participate, they wouldn't have sent anyone to set up such a tight barrier."

"So our next plan is to break through Einzbern."

...

When Roland confirmed the next target of this Holy Grail War, a golden figure returned to the church.

This guy who has appeared on TV several times is Mr. Jin, an enthusiastic citizen of Fuyuki City - also known as Gilgamesh.

"Those puppets summoned great Greek heroes this time... Interesting, but forget about it today. I'll go and take a look tomorrow."

"After all, this Holy Grail War is too peaceful... If we get rid of one or two of them, the rest will start to get restless."

Same with Roland.

Gilgamesh also set his sights on Einzbern.

......

32. Medea: Roland, do you remember the first time we met?

After the meeting at the Ghost Mansion and deciding what to do next, everyone dispersed.

Aozaki Touko had just moved the base to Roland's house yesterday, and now she dragged Bazette to buy some consumables.

When Beo saw this, she was planning to follow, but after seeing Altria come back and silently take a wooden sword to go to Roland's small backyard to practice, she gave up her original plan and silently followed Altria to the backyard.

Cu Chulainn and Iskandar were still at the Phantom Mansion, and after spending some time together, they became familiar with each other - and from Iskandar's T-shirt with the Grand Strategy printed on it, it could be seen that they had obviously not been idle during their time at the Phantom Mansion.

Baimao left alone.

After all, she was the one with the best intelligence-finding ability among all the people on Roland's side.

So Roland decided to raid Einzbern next, and the Hundred Faces would start the action today.

This made Roland's home quiet again.

Because Roland's house was full during this period, many traces of life were left behind. Even now that things have quieted down, many things that Altria and the others had placed in the living room are clearly visible.

There were some technological devices of Baimao, the moving cardboard boxes that Aozaki Touko had not yet unpacked, and even a lion doll that Roland saw on the street some time ago and bought for Altria, which she placed on the sofa.

When there are too many things, even if Bai Mao occasionally asks his personality clone who is good at handling these things to sort them out, it is still far from being orderly.

But when Roland saw such a living room, he felt at ease.

"The house has been quite lively recently."

Medea walked up to Roland and spoke slowly.

"Yeah... So the plan we both had in the beginning, to participate in the Holy Grail War to expand the size of the God Group, and then run away if it doesn't work out, is now somewhat unfeasible."

Having said this, Roland turned his head to look at Medea, and urged her in a joking tone.

"After all, we have five Servants on our side. If we all run away, then this Holy Grail War will become a one-on-one duel between Berserker and Archer~"

"Compared to our initial indifference, we now need this Holy Grail War to have a result."

Hearing Roland say this, Medea stared at him for a while.

"Is that why you are so anxious during this period?"

If someone else said this, even if it was Altria or Baimao, Roland would probably try to deny it. If he really couldn't deceive them, then he would admit it.

But this question was asked by Medea, so Roland was silent for a moment and then sighed softly.

"Is it obvious?"

"At least it's obvious to me. Baimao and Altria should have noticed it too... After all, under normal circumstances, although you have plans, you always think about what to do next a while in advance and then wait for the effort, instead of rushing to act like you have recently, and rushing yourself forward."

Medea looked at Roland's back with some worry.

"Before, when you were competing with Altria, Baimao and Aozaki said that it took you only a few days from the time you opened your magic circuit to now to reach your current level. Aozaki was still amazed at your talent - but most of your magic can be said to be learned from me, so no one knows your situation better than me."

"Even if you used the six eyes to copy during this period, you have developed something as complicated as the barrier to the current level in such a short time, and you have also done magic research based on your own situation..."

"...You must be very tired."

Roland had his back to Medea, and when Medea said the three words "You must be very tired", Roland could hardly hold back.

Tired...of course I’m tired!

But there is no way around it. They now need the Holy Grail War to have a result, and this cannot be avoided without two issues, namely Angra Mainyu and Gilgamesh.

Among them, Angra Mainyu is relatively okay. After all, as long as you know of his existence and don't get tricked by him, Waver can find a way to disintegrate the Holy Grail, and the Manabi Breaking Precepts projected by Emiya Shirou can cut off his connection with Sakura in the original development... Roland already has an idea of ​​how to deal with him.

The key to the problem lies in Gilgamesh

Before this, Roland had never thought that after just a few days of exposure to magic, he would need to be able to protect himself from very powerful servants. However, as he learned more about the servants summoned this time, the method of dealing with Gilgamesh was more and more directed towards sneak attacks... And if he wanted to launch a sneak attack, his Shadow Wolf, Shadow Puppet, Shadow Binding and Shadow Movement could all be considered as the core of the tactics.

So Roland's demands on himself suddenly became higher.

Logically speaking, if the Lancer this time was not Cu Chulainn, but Karna, who also has divinity but has a powerful Noble Phantasm, or directly Enkidu, then Roland would definitely not be under such great pressure.

But it’s not like that after all.

But Cu Chulainn is pretty good too.

At least with him around, my plan is now taking shape.

The next step is to seize the time and do as much as possible before dealing with Gilgamesh, and thereby increase the success rate of removing Gilgamesh.

This is also the reason why Roland has been under tremendous pressure during this period.

But when Roland turned around, no matter what he had thought before, the smile on his face was still the same gentle smile as usual.

"I am tired, but it will only last for a while. After the Holy Grail War is over, there will be nothing to worry about. So don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Ah - I've been studying new techniques for a while now, and I'm pretty tired. I'm going to go back and rest. You should also make sure to rest."

Without giving Medea time to say anything else, Roland smiled and said these words, then he went back to his bedroom.

Medea watched Roland leave. At this moment, she was looking at Roland's back, slightly absent-minded.

...

Roland wasn't lying when he said he was going back to his room to rest. After he got back to his room, he really lay down and fell asleep.

He didn't wake up until dark.

But just when he was about to get up, he unexpectedly found someone lying next to him... and the other person exuded a very familiar smell.

"Are you awake..."

Medea's voice rang in Roland's ears, and when Roland turned around, he saw Medea lying beside him.

Medea actually had some ideas about this matter a long time ago.

After she reached a contract with Roland, she told him that she would observe Roland and make judgments in her own way, and she actually did so.

But only she herself knew that this rational judgment was an excuse she made for herself because she didn't know how to face Roland at the time.

This excuse is very reasonable. After all, unreasonable excuses cannot convince herself.

After that, Medea kept thinking while observing Roland - what exactly she was thinking and how she should face Roland.

However, Medea actually had the answer to this question when Roland opened the ladder of promotion for them.

The first thought that came to her mind at that moment was not deceptive, and she actually understood it at that moment.

It's just that Medea felt embarrassed, and she also thought that the tacit understanding she had with Roland at that time was good, so she kept dragging it out...

Until today, when something seemed to have happened between Baimao and Roland, causing Baimao to start a certain offensive against Roland - Medea became anxious.

After all, Baimao is also very good-looking, and she is more proactive, smarter and more professional than her.

In addition, after seeing how Roland was that afternoon, she also wanted to do something for Roland, even if it could only relieve Roland's stress a little bit.

So Medea made a decision.

She is someone who will give everything for her choice.

This made her reach out her hand and cover Roland's mouth with her fingers when she saw that Roland seemed to want to say something, then she continued to move closer to Roland and stuck close to him.

Roland could feel her temperature and even see her pointed ears, which looked like an elf, turning slightly red.

Medea put her mouth close to Roland's ear and spoke softly.

"Roland, do you remember the first time we met, when we signed the contract..."

"Perhaps... it would be a good idea for us to strengthen the contract a little bit, don't you think~"

......

33. Let nature take its course

When Roland walked out of the bedroom, it was already the next morning.

Then when he went downstairs, he saw Bai Mao sitting in the living room.

At this moment, she looked Roland up and down, then smiled and spoke slowly.

"You look much more relaxed now. It seems Medea succeeded."

After hearing Bai Mao say this, Roland no longer felt shy about having something exposed - he even walked into the living room and sat directly next to Bai Mao.

"This should be within your expectations. Didn't you deliberately provoke her yesterday?"

Roland's words made Baimao raise an eyebrow.

"You knew already?"

"Isn't this natural? Although I did help you, I don't think you'll commit suicide just because I helped you. Even if you, as a freshman, really decide to do something, you should at least observe me for a while. In addition, the relationship between Medea and I has always been at a mediocre level. With these prerequisites, your intention is very clear, isn't it?"

Roland leaned on the sofa, looked sideways at Baimao, and expressed his thoughts. Baimao laughed out loud after hearing what Roland said.

"You are really sober. I thought men would lose their rationality when faced with such things, but you don't seem to be such a man."

"but..."

Baimao said as he moved closer to Roland.

She is a top assassin who can handle various assassination missions.

So in order to cope with various situations, Bai Mao's body is extremely flexible, as if it has no bones, and can perform various movements that even acrobats may not be able to do.

She had been sitting next to Roland before, but as she got closer, she slid into Roland's arms like a black snake, then put her arms around Roland's neck, moved her head closer, and gently touched Roland's forehead with hers, looking into Roland's eyes at this extremely close distance.

Then her voice, along with her slightly hot breath, hit the corner of Roland's mouth.

"Not everything can be explained by reason and logic. If we use scientific methods to dissect the behavior that people call 'love', it is neither romantic nor reasonable. So I prefer to call love an impulse... and impulse is the most irrational when it occurs..."
