In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

"Because you're still hesitating, you emphasize that you're better than him, instead of saying you'll kill him!"

Chapter 264 Who's Next?

Fiore fell silent at her servant's merciless assessment. Several times along the way, she struggled to prove that she would never show mercy. Her lips moved several times, but she never truly uttered a rebuttal.

"Is this the place?" she heard her servant ask.

Fiore looked up and saw a large number of culture tanks arranged neatly in the dimly lit basement, filled with a large amount of green liquid, with a person floating in each tank.

However, their identical appearance also indicates that they are not human, but artificial humans.

No, not here.

Fiore shook her head apologetically, "Sorry, I was daydreaming."

She only told Kira that Sereneka's magic workshop was underground, but for the rest of the journey she was preoccupied with how to refute Kira's assessment and forgot to give him directions, which resulted in her accidentally ending up here.

Fiore understood that this was her fault, which is why she took the initiative to apologize.

"No need to apologize, I should have asked you first."

"Hmm~"

Fiore felt much better and suddenly realized that her Servant wasn't so bad after all.

Seeing Kira staring at the culture tanks, Fiore offered to explain:

"These are all androids, created by Uncle Gold, whom I told you about before. They can take a large portion of the mana we need to supply to Servants. Hmm~, do you think there's anything wrong with that?"

Fiore looked puzzled. Was he sympathizing with these androids?

Fiore found it strange, because even she, whom he had described as naive, wouldn't feel any sympathy for these androids. In her eyes, these androids were merely tools, not even useful, just replaceable consumables.

Because their magic power is extracted in large quantities, these androids have extremely short lifespans. Therefore, a separate area has been set aside in a corner of the basement to store the discarded android corpses.

of course.

These corpses will not be wasted, but will be collected and recycled to create new androids.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just too rough."

"Rough?"

Kira Yoshikage's answer once again surprised Fiore:

Why does it feel rough?

"I feel it's not as good as Einzbern."

Fiore hesitated, unsure how to respond.

The Mujik family is indeed not as good as the Einzbern family, which is a generally accepted fact in the magic world.

Despite Gold's considerable talent in alchemy, despite the fact that his family, the Mujik, was once renowned in alchemy as on par with the Einzbern, and despite the fact that these homunculus beings were the culmination of his painstaking efforts,

However, a defective product is a defective product.

No matter how hard Gold tried, the Mujik family and the Einzbern family still had an insurmountable technological gap.

Everyone knows that although the Mujic family was once nominally on par with the Einzbern family, that was largely because the Einzbern family had very little contact with the outside world, while the Mujic family was much more active in the magic world.

However, if we really talk about achievements in the field of alchemy, even at the peak of the Mujik family, they could only barely reach the level of the Einzberns, let alone...

When the Mujik family was absorbed by the Thousand World Tree clan, their lineage as magicians had already begun its decline.

To this once-prestigious family, being absorbed by the World Tree was a great disgrace.

From a young age, Gold's parents constantly instilled in him the superior status of the Mujik family. Even now, at thirty-six, he still cannot distinguish between reality and ideals; the only thing that remains strong is his pride in having once been from a prestigious family.

Gold was the first child born since the Mujik family and the Thousand World Tree clan joined forces, and he was a long-awaited first-class magician. This fact also caused his pride in his bloodline to grow excessively.

However, he was indeed an excellent magician. In this Holy Grail War, he proposed a violation-level system intervention—the division of magical paths—and implemented it.

No matter how skilled the mages dispatched by the Mage's Association are, the summoning of Servants and the provision of magical energy to them will become troublesome burdens. Simply eliminating this aspect would greatly narrow the power gap between the Yggdrasil Clan and the Mage's Association.

Moreover, the abundant supply of magic power also makes the abuse of Noble Phantasms possible.

From this perspective, Gordes's achievements are among the best even among the Yggdrasil race, second only to Darnic—because it was Darnic's discovery of the Greater Grail that gave all of this a realistic basis.

But ultimately, no matter how outstanding Gold was, he was still inferior to Einzbern, and that was an undeniable fact.

While interfering with the system of the Greater Grail is certainly a remarkable achievement, compared to the Einzbern family that created the Greater Grail, such interference is almost child's play.

Fiore had initially thought Kira was sympathizing with the androids, but he never expected such a comment. This only made Fiore feel more uncomfortable, because it made her seem even more naive for having such thoughts.

and many more!

Fiore suddenly realized a serious problem: why could Kira draw such a conclusion as being inferior to Einzbern simply by looking at these androids?

It is indeed a widely acknowledged fact in the magic world that the Mujik family is not as good as the Einzbern family.

The problem is that this consensus is limited to the magic community!

For magicians, such facts are commonplace, but for ordinary people, it is impossible for them to know which families exist in the magic world, let alone the achievements of the Mujik and Einzbern families in the field of alchemy.

To conclude that they are inferior to the Einzbern family, one should at least understand the Einzbern family.

But how did Kira know that?

While he is indeed a Servant, and certainly not someone ordinary people can compare to, Servants are all heroes from ancient times. Even if they are instilled with modern common sense when summoned, surely the Inzbern family isn't considered common sense?

I've never told him about the Einzbern family, so how did he know about the Einzbern family?

Once such a thought took root, it was difficult to eradicate from Fiore's mind. Although the girl wanted to get to the bottom of it, she managed to restrain her curiosity quite well.

Fiore silently composed herself, and only after Kira Yoshikage carried her and the wheelchair away from the basement and back to the first floor did Fiore whisper:

"Over there."

The castle is so large that every Master can freely build their own magic workshop here.

The dark magic that Sereneka uses is most suited to the location of her magic workshop, which is undoubtedly a dark underground place.

Under normal circumstances, they would not casually enter other people's magic workshops, as this would likely be considered intrusion and could lead to conflict. Moreover, magicians usually cast numerous protective barriers around their workshops, so recklessly trespassing could easily result in death.

Although Fiore doesn't particularly like Sereneka, and although Sereneka is only a second-rate magician, Fiore is confident she can defeat her in a direct confrontation.

But if it's about forcing your way into Sereneka's magic workshop, that's a different story.

Even with the added advantage of the Magic Workshop, no matter how confident Fiore was, she believed she was likely to be defeated by Sereneka.

However, the one going there now is not her, but her servant.

Although Fiore could use Command Spells to force a Servant to abandon his plans, she subconsciously ignored this.

Fiore didn't want to waste a precious Command Seal on this matter, and she also didn't want Serenekee to affect her relationship with her Servant—although Fiore tried to convince herself of this, she was still thinking about the consequences of doing so all the way.

Danic's anger was to be expected, and the other magicians would likely be on high alert as well. Even Caules might suspect that she might order her servants to kill him at any moment.

This would undoubtedly isolate her, but to avoid losing too many Servants and causing casualties, the isolation would only be limited to this extent, rather than taking action against her before defeating the Red team's Servants.

Fiore was in a dilemma, but it seemed too late to regret it now.

Because they had reached the entrance to the magic workshop, and could even hear the heavy breathing coming from inside through the door.

"Oh~ mmm~... Ah~ so good... Yes, that's it..."

Fiore blushed slightly; even for a magician like her, this was a bit too early.

Although she knew Serenekee often did such things, she truly hadn't expected Serenekee to even target Servants. And weren't her Servants cute girls? Even if Serenekee changed her XP, wouldn't Astolfo resist?

Was it Sereneka who commanded it with a Command Spell? Or was Astolfo actually enjoying it?

When Yoshikage Kira pushed the wheelchair into the room, Fiore was able to see the scene inside the Magic Workshop.

Rider lay on the bed with his limbs tightly bound by leather straps.

The chainmail and part of the armor were removed, and the clothes on her chest were peeled off, exposing her delicate collarbone and snow-white skin.

Disheveled, Sereneka pressed down on Rider, her face flushed, gazing at him with lustful, moist eyes, her tongue slowly tracing patterns on his neck.

Perhaps Serenika was so focused that she didn’t even notice someone entering the room.

"I'm telling you..."

Rider looked troubled. "Isn't it enough to stop now? After all, someone is watching here. Or is this what you requested?"

"Um?!"

Serenekae was startled and turned around abruptly to look at the doorway, only then noticing Fiore and her servant.

How did you get in?

“You didn’t lock the door,” Fiore said, feigning composure.

"Just because I didn't lock the door doesn't mean you can come in!!"

Serenika was both angry and shocked. Although it was true that she had forgotten to lock the door because she was in a hurry to enjoy Rider, did she think she could just barge in like that?

What's the logic behind this?

Moreover, why didn't her barrier issue a warning?

"So, to put it another way,"

Rider casually ripped off his belt, pushed away Sereneka who was still on top of him, and stood up from the bed, sighing helplessly:

"Master, you should at least tone it down a bit."

Upon hearing Rider's voice, Sereneka's expression softened for a moment, but quickly turned cold again:

"Fiore, is there something you need from me?"

Serenekae's expression was cold and serious, but Fiore couldn't be serious at all, and even found it hard to look her in the eye.

Could you please put your clothes on before you speak?!

The girl's pretty face flushed red, finding it hard to believe. How could someone be so self-righteous? Her servant was still here!

Although Fiore couldn't understand it, Sereneka didn't care and instead winked at Yoshikage Kira.

Although the honest and innocent Rider suited her better, she didn't mind trying something different.

Although her real name is unknown, since she was summoned by Fiore, she must be a famous heroic spirit in history.

To spend a wonderful night with a historical hero—what a beautiful thing that would be!

“Miss Serenekay, my Master would like you to take a look at this.”
