Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War!

Chapter 28. New Cards!

Self-management essay contest

Those are magical contracts that magicians use to forge inviolable agreements.

It is usually used to "restrict" transactions between the two parties.

(Success!)

Seeing the two parchment scrolls that Kiritsugu Emiya pulled out, Waver felt a slight sense of relief.

Since the other party has already done this, it can be considered that they have agreed.

The next step is simply to negotiate and agree on the terms that both parties should abide by.

"Hmm"

After swallowing the food, Saber felt that everything was a little too calm.

Given Kiritsugu's usual style, the two sides shouldn't be this harmonious.

"Oh"

In his field of vision, Rider was leaning back in his chair, watching everything with a nonchalant air.

.........

Kiritsugu and Waver discussed the alliance and eventually reached an agreement.

[The oath will become the object of the discipline binding spell, without exception, provided that the following conditions are successfully met.]

The agreement details the conditions under which Kiritsugu and Waver are required to help each other.

Emiya Kiritsugu!

Webber Velvet!

After confirming that the contents were correct, both parties signed their names on their respective parchments.

"The contract is established."

"This is the first step we've taken."

Having finally completed this perilous step, Weber suddenly realized that Kiritsugu wasn't as difficult to approach as he had imagined.

The other person seems to be a normal person?

"Although we will be enemies in the future, please take care of me for now, Rider."

As things came to a close, Saber became quite lively.

She was delighted to have the opportunity to meet this unknown "King of Britain".

"This is what I should say, Saber. I'm counting on you all to take on more responsibility."

Standing up, Lelouch did not point out the flaws in the alliance on the spot, but instead smiled.

"."

Kiritsugu Emiya simply stood up, turned around, and left.

"Then I hope we can have such a peaceful exchange next time."

Saber watched her Master leave in a hurry, bewildered, and could only follow.

"Although he's known as the Magician Killer, he's still a normal person at heart."

Watching Kiritsugu disappear into the crowd, Waver slumped into his chair, finally no longer needing to force himself to appear strong.

"Being deceived by such a simple disguise, to the point of lowering your guard, means you're not far from being eliminated."

Rider's mocking tone, however, stunned Webber.

"Putting everything else aside, take a good look at the agreement you signed with him; its contents are clearly full of problems."

"?"

Unaware of anything, Weber picked up Kiritsugu's call for papers and looked at it for a while.

"So you're still too naive."

"He pretends to be harmless so that you won't overthink it. Once your attention is diverted, you won't even notice what you should have noticed."

Lelouch pointed to a certain "treaty" and reminded him.

During the period of the covenant, neither Kiritsugu Emiya nor Waver Velvet may have the intention or act of killing or harming the other.

"You don't think he can't kill you based on this agreement alone, do you?"

"There are no restrictions on the mutual followers in the entire oath."

Upon hearing this, Weber realized what was happening.

Kiritsugu is indeed unable to harm him because of the "promise," but Saber is not subject to this restriction.

In other words, whenever Kiritsugu wants to back out, he can take advantage of an opportunity to eliminate him using Saber.

"Then why didn't you say it just now?!"

With his face flushed, Weber slammed his hands heavily on the table and said anxiously.

I'm so annoyed. I thought I had done a perfect job with my first "diplomatic" mission, but who would have thought that I had really underestimated the situation.

"Don't rush."

"The contents of the contract may be useful to him, and they are just as useful to us."

"There are two sides to every story."

The reason Lelouch didn't expose him on the spot was because he had his own reasons.

If a perfect alliance were truly established, he would worry about not finding an opportunity to act sleight of hand.

So, upon seeing such a rudimentary alliance, both Kiritsugu and Lelouch breathed a sigh of relief.

The best situation is one where at least some mutual assistance is maintained, but there is also some room for maneuver.

From this perspective alone, Lelouch thinks it's quite remarkable that Waver's naive and immature mind has managed to maintain the alliance to this extent.

This is why he remained completely silent during their negotiations.

"You guys probably planned out the whole process before even meeting them!!"

Lelouch's nonchalant expression convinced Waver of one thing.

That is, the "alliance" that they painstakingly tried to establish was, in the eyes of both sides, nothing more than a "formality".

In layman's terms, it means "You just need to do it; the process doesn't matter, the result is already predetermined."

It was only then that the young Weber truly understood the weight of those four words.

He truly doesn't understand feelings!

...............

"Something feels off."

"Um?"

Seeing Jonouchi fiddling with cards on the table, Sakura Kyoko jumped up from the sofa.

"What's wrong?"

She walked over and looked at the cards that had been arranged one by one above her, and began to speak.

"No, although it was not easy to get two of my familiar partners."

"But the other cards are all strange."

Picking up the two monster cards, Sakura Kyoko also saw the card name.

【Red-Eyed Black Dragon】

The Time Magician

Just by looking at it, you can feel the powerful force contained within the card.

Her gaze drifted elsewhere, and those red and green cards were ones she had seen before.

[Skill Draw]

[Pluto's Barrier Wave]

The Chains of the Demon Race

[The Dead Resurrected]

"It's hard to imagine that such powerful cards are hidden."

Although she couldn't see the description clearly, Sakura Kyoko didn't dare to underestimate these things at all.

She had suffered quite a few losses before.

Where are you going?

"Let's go out and get some food!"

After a while, while Jonouchi was still looking at the card, he suddenly noticed that Sakura Kyoko had gone to the main gate.

"Don't steal it."

"Tsk, no way!"

Just like Sayaka, she's "annoying," Sakura Kyoko said, turning around.

She really had to keep a low profile when dealing with these guys who were bursting with a sense of justice.

After becoming a magical girl, Sakura Kyoko became a "magical girl who cannot use magic for others" due to the breakdown of her family.

Having experienced dramatic changes, she felt that it would be "foolish" to use one's abilities to help others instead of using them for one's own benefit.

At that time, what appeared in front of her was Sayaka, that "idiot".

"It's not bad at all."

"There are actually two other idiots in the world who are exactly the same."

"The world is truly amazing."

Recalling Sayaka and Jonouchi's similar personalities and attitudes, Sakura Kyoko suddenly laughed after walking out the door.

"If I have the chance, I'd really like to introduce them to each other."

P.S.: I drank a little too much yesterday.

I've relaxed a bit these past few days.
