How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

Why is the medicine being held in a wooden bowl that looks like it was carved on the spot? Shouldn't it be in a glass test tube?

Moreover, the potion evaporates very quickly. Even though Ruoxue reacted fast enough, when she transferred the ten bowls of potion into glass test tubes, only five tubes remained.

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, because I don't have any proper containers, I'm using a wooden bowl, and the evaporation happens very quickly.

Paid newbie: Thanks for reminding me, there are only five left.

Paid newbie: I doubt your environment can handle glass test tubes. It's quite simple here.

[A paid newbie uploaded 20 glass test tubes to the group files.]

Newbie (just filling in the numbers): Oh! Thank you so much!

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

Qingshan is now having a bit of a headache. How can he trick some of the potions out of him?

He is currently in prison, where the food is not very good. He has not had two meals a day, let alone three. Since morning, he has not seen any prison guards bring him food.

His physical and spiritual energy were both exhausted, forcing him to postpone his escape plan for a long time.

If we had a stamina potion and an MP potion to recover from yesterday's fight, the escape plan might be able to be carried out soon.

We need to think of a way…

Aoyama the Great Demon King: Ahem, just a newbie filling in the numbers.

Green Mountain Demon King: I also know a little about alchemy. How about I give you some pointers?

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Huh?

Newbie (just filling in the numbers): I won't trouble the group admin for now, after all, I'm only building the basics, and it's still a long way off before I really need to learn anything. Newbie (just filling in the numbers): I'll trouble the group admin when I've learned more advanced stuff.

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

Ugh, I'm so annoyed!

I really want to grab this newbie by the collar and yell at him: "You better hurry up and upload some potions for me! Just give them to me, stop with the nonsense!!"

However, this is something that cannot be done, nor is it possible!

Green Mountain Demon King: Then, tell me about the principles of alchemy in this world.

Green Mountain Demon King: "By analogy, let me see what's unique about the alchemy techniques of this world."

Newbie (just filling in the numbers): Huh? I still don't understand.

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

Green Mountain Demon King: You can at least copy and paste, right?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: [Image]

Paid newbie: Ah... the writing system of another world, so that's what it is. I don't understand.

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Right? (shrugs)

She's not stupid, fox, why would she leak this to the dog group owner?

When uploading the potion, Miss Fox had anticipated that the dog group leader would do this, so she had already taken a picture of the notes Enferea had given her. Those notes were like a book written in an cryptic language.

Hmph, so this isn't a lie, and it really is a related alchemy technique from this world.

Newbie here to fill in the numbers: I'm going to stay anonymous, I still need to work on learning to read.

Newbie here just to make up the numbers: Goodbye, group admin!

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

"Sigh, in critical moments, none of these two underlings are reliable!" Qingshan couldn't help but rub his forehead, but pulling on the iron chains hurt a little.

However, it doesn't matter if the production staff runs away to make up the numbers. Look, there's another paid newbie among the online group members who has already received the goods.

The cricket is a local anime enthusiast's lackey; with a few tricks, it's all his again!

Aoyama the Great Demon King: A newbie who's paying...

Paid newbie: Oh no, something's happened to me! Group owner!

Paid newbie: From the very beginning, there have been a few people constantly following me! I'm going to confront them first!

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

That's a very perfunctory excuse.

However, since she had already revealed a little bit of her true colors, Ruoxue simply gave up on treatment.

"Master~ Are you done chatting in the group~?" Just after brushing off the dog group owner, Ruoxue turned around and saw Aige leaning close to her face.

My little face is chubby and puffy, and I look very angry.

Sigh... This bear loli is clearly very strong, but she's excessively fond of acting cute.

"Alright, Aika." Ruo Xue patted Aika's head and glanced at Shirou, who was engrossed in studying a thick book. "What's wrong with him?"

“Aika knows nothing… Okay, I gave him a hint, a buff, so by the time he wakes up, his basics will be pretty much set.” Seeing Ruo Xue raise her hand, Aika immediately changed her tune.

"Right, Master, forget about him, let's go summon a Servant!"

Ruoxue rolled her eyes.

"It can't be that fast. Let alone the magic circle, I don't even know how to draw it or what materials to use. We haven't even prepared our relics yet."

"None of that matters, Master~" Aika pulled Ruo Xue's arm and led her all the way to the warehouse.

"The magic circle is simple, and as for artifacts, any stocking will do. Anyway, a normal Scáthach-related artifact will at most summon a big dog! Aika doesn't want to get infected with E-rank luck!"

"…Fine."

Chapter 43 Ruoxue: I'm serious!

The Kingdom of Shadows.

Scáthach, who has been staying in this place for most of the year, has been having an ominous feeling lately for some reason, and she doesn't know why.

As the queen of the 'Land of Shadows', the lord of the otherworldly realm, and a genius in spearmanship and rune magic, Scáthach's intuition is rarely wrong. This ominous premonition she's had for days is most likely to come true in the end.

The Land of Shadows is not what it used to be. The Age of Gods is over, and fewer and fewer strong individuals can be born in the outside world. She hopes and longs for the person who can give her an ominous premonition to bring her death.

But something still feels off.

Because of her legs, she has been experiencing uncontrollable muscle spasms from time to time recently, and a mysterious feeling has been lingering over her legs.

This ominous feeling was also always related to her legs.

Although she didn't have the premonition that she was going to die, could someone possibly cut off her legs?

"If I could really do that, maybe with some effort I could teach him and he could defeat me head-on?" Scáthach couldn't help but mutter excitedly to herself as she thought about it.

She had longed for death for so long that she had forgotten when she grew tired of living in this world as an immortal demigod.

In this unchanging Land of Shadows.

"Hello? Moshi Moshi? Is anyone listening?" "Hey, Master, that's not the summoning incantation~"

"?" The Land of Shadows was quiet.

Since the complete demise of the Age of Gods, the Land of Shadows has become quieter day by day.

Even now, Scáthach has experienced the Land of Shadows, where every day remains completely unchanged, countless times…

"Anyway, whether anyone's listening or not, I've already said it: I'll give you magic power. Whether you can use it or not is another matter, but you have to work for me!" "Master, are you some kind of heartless capitalist?!"

"?" The Land of Shadows is really quiet.

Now, virtually no one from the outside world comes in, and nothing in the Land of Shadows can leave either. With only Scáthach in the Land of Shadows, it is incomparably quiet.

For hundreds of years, there has been no movement at all; it's just a stagnant pool.

But now, Scáthach felt a pair of hands reaching out from somewhere, stirring up this stagnant pool!

"That purple-haired girl who got caught by this bear-like loli! If you want to spank her, then give me a shout!" "Master! That's too much! You're the one who's talking about her, why am I the one getting spanked?!"

These hands!

It is an extension of the present world!

But something strange happened. Scáthach, who could use runes, easily identified what the hand that came from somewhere had passed through!

source!

The root of the world! These 'giant hands' not only seeped into the root itself, but even used it like a public bus, bypassing the gates of the Land of Shadows and using the root to open a back door, extending their hands right in front of her!!

"No!—This is a hand that's directly reaching out from the source!?" Scáthach jumped back, dodging the invisible giant hand.

"Huh?" came a questioning voice, very childish, like that of a seven or eight-year-old girl.

"Let me tell you something first. The best thing I've ever done is chasing after a beggar and giving him a steamed bun but no water! The worst thing I've ever done is chasing after another beggar and giving him water but no steamed bun!" "Master, what kind of bizarre good and bad deeds are these…?"

It's the younger voice of the two.

When will a seven- or eight-year-old girl be able to reach the root of the problem?

Scáthach didn't know, but she was very excited!

Excitedly, she drew all her weapons and stared at the invisible hand that reached out again—she hadn't felt this excited in a long time!

"bring it on!!"

"I have three Command Seals. Stay with me for life, behave well, and I'll seduce you after they expire!"

"Master! This purple-haired old woman is so slippery! She's like an eel, I can't catch her, what should I do!"

Scáthach dodged the approaching invisible hands with a swift movement, simultaneously drawing a simple rune in the air with the tip of her spear before her crimson spear spiraled forward! "Ah!?" She successfully pierced the invisible hands!

This wasn't because she was called an old woman, but simply because the enemy was a powerful being who had reached the Root, and she became excited!

"Did you get bitten by a mudfish after trying to catch it?"

That's not all!

Scáthach muttered to herself, her hands moving non-stop. Several runes quickly solidified under the movement of the spear tip, making her movements to dodge counterattacks even faster.

However, this level of skill is far from sufficient to deal with a magician who has entered the Root.

"—Gáe! Bolg…"

Snapped!

Scáthach felt as if she had crashed into a wall as soon as she began to charge her Noble Phantasm! A wall that was so hard she couldn't break through!

Unlike the invisible hand from before, this 'wall' seemed to appear out of thin air. Without any warning, he crashed right into it!

And there wasn't even time for Scáthach to react!

Those invisible hands seized the opportunity and firmly grasped her in their palms. This power from the source made it impossible for Scáthach to resist!

"We've caught them, but this kind of plot just feels like something's missing."

"Master! I know, I know!"

"Shut up! What do you know now!?"

"Aiko knows everything!"

"...Kids shouldn't look at this nonsense!"

"It was clearly the master who brought up this topic..."

It's so noisy!

It wasn't that the conversation between the two was noisy, but the moment Scáthach was grabbed by those invisible hands, memories she had never encountered before, memories called common sense for ordinary people, kept popping into her mind!

These memories appeared abruptly and violently!

Like a walnut being cracked open, something pried open her head and forcefully shoved all this useless knowledge into her head! And it seemed like something else was stuffed in as well, and that thing was the real culprit behind her headache!

The Holy Grail... Things to Note in Modern Society... Heroic Spirits, Servants, Masters... Aika is the cutest in the world... Aika is the most important person to my master...

"Wh...what nonsense is this...?" A bunch of junk information instantly filled Scáthach's entire head!

It was forced in through the large hands that grabbed her!

Is this how the power of the Root is used?!
