"Just... just this once!"
"Well, next time I'll kiss somewhere else to make you agree."
"You shameless guy!"
Although she complained on her lips, Ophelia's body was honest.
She patiently guided Akuko.
The latter also listened to these steps very carefully.
Time passed little by little.
Akuko began her own experiment.
She successfully placed the extraordinary-looking sword into the summoning array.
In an instant, a clear blue light floated in the summoning array, and they gradually gathered into a human shape.
Ian knew that it was a sign of successful summoning.
Soon, a powerful servant will appear here.
however--
The situation changed in an instant.
The originally stable blue light seemed to be blown by the wind, and began to sway in the direction of the man like wildfire.
Wow.
The blue light disappeared without a trace.
A silent fact echoed in Room 016.
The summoning...failed?
174. Ophelia's request/test of the essence of magic/possession summoning (4k)
"..."
The room suddenly became extremely quiet.
Kazuiko looked at the last bit of blue light in the summoning array, her gray-black eyes full of panic.
"No!"
"do not do that!"
The literary girl completely threw away the cautious look just now, and like a madman wanted to grasp the light that was almost too weak to see in her hands.
But there's no way to catch him alone.
It eventually disappeared completely.
The magic circle that summoned "Servants" slowly dimmed.
Akubeko sat slumped there, flanked by Ian and Ophelia who were speechless.
"how so!"
Kazuko got up from the ground.
Bursts of red light emanated from those eyes, like the most bloodthirsty wolf.
She could no longer care about her image and shouted directly at Ophelia.
"Can't you completely solve these problems?!"
"Why is it like this?"
This scene seemed like Kazuko's unreasonable troubles, but Ian keenly noticed a small detail.
That's when she cried.
Although the traces were obviously covered up, there were still some tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
Ian felt that the servant she wanted to summon was a very important existence to herself.
but--
This is not the reason for her to be angry with her sex partner.
Ian stopped in front of Akuko and at the same time protected Ophelia behind him.
"Akuko, please don't get excited yet."
"Maybe something went wrong somewhere that caused this situation to occur."
"Don't forget, you took the initiative to release the sword this time."
"..."
Kazuko stared at the man in front of her, silent.
But this behavior was enough to show that she had temporarily calmed down.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ian looked back at Ophelia, who was being protected behind him, and asked calmly:
"Ophelia, is there something wrong with that part?"
Ian's original intention was actually to find a step for the magician to get down.
After all, if she could just make up an excuse, she might have a chance to send Kazuko away.
however--
Ian underestimated Ophelia's paranoia about such matters.
She shook her head, and then looked at the man and Akuko with a very serious attitude and tone, and answered this question:
"Do not."
"There will be no problem with my summoning array, and there will be no problem with the steps I taught you just now."
The quarrel was ignited in an instant.
"How did it become like this?!"
Akuko pointed at the completely dim summoning array, and she looked very excited.
"Where has my item...the servant I longed for gone?"
"If you have no problem, shouldn't he be summoned?!"
Now that the matter has come to this, Ian knows that it is unlikely that he will be fooled casually this time.
He had to trust Ophelia and let her explain these things herself.
And this talented magician was indeed not nervous at all.
She walked to the summoning array, squatted down, and began to analyze the problem.
"Although I don't really want to ask you what kind of servant you plan to summon...but now I have to ask a question in this regard."
"Mustard seeds."
"Is your sword really the holy relic of that heroic spirit?"
Relics are the key to summoning.
If it itself has flaws or is even fake, it will naturally affect the entire summoning.
"Yes."
Kazuko answered the question directly without any hesitation.
"I can confirm that it is the holy relic of that heroic spirit."
"Really?" Ophelia's eyes were full of doubt.
"real."
"because--"
Kazuo glanced at Ian next to him, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"This is... the sword he left behind."
"The sword he left behind?"
Ophelia looked surprised.
This is an extremely precise positioning - how did Akuko know this?
Was it Saber who was summoned?
Just when the top student magician wanted to ask a few more questions about this, he was stopped by Ian.
"Okay, Ophelia."
"Since Kazuko is so sure... just believe her."
"I don't think she would go so far as to say that she would get a fake sword just to fool us on something like this."
Although there are many doubts in his heart, since Ian, who is trustworthy, has mentioned this, it makes sense.
Ophelia accepted this argument.
"Well."
"I will assume that this sword is exactly what you described, and that it is that servant's sword."
Ophelia's eyes fell on the literary girl in front of her.
"So--"
"That's another possibility."
"What's possible?" Akuko asked.
"Well... you might be a little angry if I say it." Ophelia stood up.
"That's the servant you want to summon... He's not strong enough to become a Heroic Spirit, or rather, he's not qualified to be a Heroic Spirit at all."
"So you can't summon it."
"of course."
"It's also possible that your strength isn't enough to make him want to appear, so it's also impossible to summon him."
As soon as Ophelia finished speaking, Akuko directly denied these claims.
"Do not."
"He must have become a heroic spirit... He is a hero who can conquer mountains and rivers... And it's me, he won't fail to show up!"
I felt that Akuko's words were somewhat inconsistent with her words.
Ian leaned close to Ophelia and whispered instructions.
"Be careful not to irritate her."
"but--"
"Ophelia, are these the only possibilities?"
"There is another possibility."
The top student magician frowned slightly.
"But I don't think it's realistic."
"Not very realistic?"
"Yes." Ophelia nodded, "That means we may have just performed a possession summoning."
"Reliance summons...what is that?"
"It's a form of summons."
Ophelia began to explain.
"It may be complicated to say...the simpler understanding is that the heroic spirit itself really wants to respond to the call."
"But due to various reasons, I don't want to or can't fully appear in the world as a 'servant', so I use my consciousness or body instead."
