My family runs an adventurer's guild.

So, as usual, let's take a nap first.

So, the sleep goddess Mengmeng turned around, spread out her quilt roll in the corner, lay down on it, and in the blink of an eye, she too drifted off to sleep.

In short, amidst the deafening snores, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, the renowned genius prodigy of the Mage's Association and the youngest lecturer in the Conjuring Department at the Clock Tower, spent his night of summoning heroic spirits in the deepest slumber with his fiancée Sora and the Sleeping Servant whose face he didn't even have a chance to see clearly.

Because he was overcome by sleepiness so quickly, poor Kenneth didn't even get a chance to glance at his Servant's stats...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Class (Job Rank): Lancer

Real name: Mengmeng

Race: God, holder of the Sleeping Godhood

Gender: Female

Height/Weight: 130cm/27kg (in Dormouse Girl appearance)

Alignment: Neutral/Good (Whether good or evil, they can't do anything in their sleep, essentially leaning towards doing good.)

Strength: E (Neither the Dormouse nor the Sleepy God are known for their strength)

Endurance: E (Although his physical attributes are good, his innate tendency to sleep makes him extremely prone to drowsiness and fatigue.)

Agility: E (The Dormouse Loli is only good at sleeping and extremely bad at sports)

Magic Power: EX (How can the magic power of a true god be compared to that of a mortal?)

Luck: EX (He easily ignited the divine fire and raised the divine throne during a long sleep, which shows how lucky he was).

Class Skill: Magic Resistance EX

Skills:

Sleepy God's Lullaby:

When the goddess of sleep, Momo, sings a lullaby, she can put all living beings within a radius of several kilometers to sleep, and no magical barrier can block it. The side effect is that after singing the lullaby, Momo herself also falls into a deep sleep and wakes up later than the person she hypnotized.

Noble Phantasm:

A long spear wrapped in a soft cotton quilt:

The spear, made from a magical cotton quilt, inflicts a curse that causes anyone who touches it to faint. This curse is inescapable and can only be resisted by willpower.

The side effect is that the [Fainting] effect will overflow, and other living beings nearby will also be indiscriminately hypnotized, including their Masters.

Therefore, this is not a weapon for precision strikes against the enemy, but a massive weapon for indiscriminate, wide-range strikes.

Normally, the sleepyhead Mengmeng would roll up her quilt and wrap herself in it to sleep.

……

Of course, besides the aforementioned scenes that were either frustrating or baffling, but ultimately left everyone in a state of bewilderment, there were also moments when the Masters of this Holy Grail War were overjoyed after completing their summons, revealing a smug smile...

Chapter 33, The Masters' Tragic Comedy (Part 5)

Fuyuki City, Tohsaka Family Mansion

Inside the magic workshop of the Tohsaka family mansion, Tokiomi Tohsaka stared at the magic circle drawn with a solution of gemstones, his heart filled with trepidation.

In fact, regarding the upcoming Holy Grail War, his confidence in his chances of winning was not as strong as he had shown in front of his old friend Kotomine Risei and his apprentice Kotomine Kirei. The reason why he secretly allied with and cheated with the Holy Church, which was the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, through his old friend Kotomine Risei before the war officially started was ultimately due to Tokiomi Tohsaka's lack of confidence in himself.

If he truly believed he was certain of victory and could easily crush all opponents, then he wouldn't have needed to pull so many stunts before the battle.

Ultimately, while Tokiomi Tohsaka had some confidence in his own strength and his family's Mystic Code, the key to victory in the Holy Grail War lay with the Servants. However, the act of "summoning Servants" was inherently fraught with uncertainty. In the past three Holy Grail Wars, some had summoned powerful heroes without preparing any relics. Others had spent enormous resources and effort collecting what they thought were formidable relics, only to discover they were counterfeit, or that they had summoned nothing more than ordinary people sharing the same names as legendary heroes…

There's no way around it; from Alexander and Caesar to Augustus, the names of every ancient Western hero have been used by countless people since.

For example, a relic that once belonged to "King Alexander" could certainly have belonged to Alexander the Great (Third) of ancient Macedon, but it could also have belonged to Alexander's ancestors, two other Macedonian kings (I and II) who also had the name Alexander, or even to Alexander the Great, the Scottish King, Tsar Alexander of Russia, or Alexander the Great of Yugoslavia...

Therefore, although Tokiomi Tohsaka had acquired a decent relic this time: the shed skin of the world's first snake, as legend has it, he was genuinely unsure of its authenticity. Even if it were genuine, he couldn't guarantee whether he could use it to summon a powerful Heroic Spirit. After all, countless heroes and famous figures in ancient history and mythology were associated with snakes, from Medusa, the Gorgon of ancient Greece, to Laconus, the Trojan priest who was bitten to death by a snake, to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden… many of them were famous but utterly powerless. If the snake skin was actually a fake, then any kind of creature could potentially be summoned.

Of course, it's more likely that no Heroic Spirit will respond to this counterfeit summons, and ultimately no Servants will participate in the battle. If that's the case, then Tokiomi Tohsaka would have been defeated before the battle even began, and would have lost all face.

However, despite being filled with fear and unease, Tokiomi Tohsaka had no choice but to persevere to the end.

As the incantation continued to be chanted, the magic circle formed by the gem solution began to shine brightly, and various strange phenomena began to appear one after another.

A raging magical tornado and crackling lightning swirled violently above the magic circle, the powerful wind pressure making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

And the summoning magic circle, amidst the ever-flowing light, finally connected to a place that was not located in this world...

Immediately following was a deafeningly loud explosion!

In the chaos, Tokiomi Tohsaka only had time to activate his ancestral Mystic Code to protect himself before the entire Tohsaka family mansion collapsed...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The next morning, when the sun shone on Fuyuki City once again, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had been busy all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

—The nearby streets have been set up with spells to disperse onlookers, and the walls of their own mansion have been enchanted with illusion magic, making it appear to outsiders that nothing has changed. Although the commotion last night was so great that it probably couldn't be kept secret from those who were interested, with the assistance of the Holy Church, preventing ordinary people from finding out shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Looking back, the once magnificent and luxurious Tohsaka family villa, after last night's disaster, was reduced to a pitiful pile of ruins, as if it had been bombarded by the main guns of a battleship. Even the ground in the courtyard was covered with cracks. The few remaining walls and the fountain sculptures outside all lay askew, like drunkards, giving one the feeling of being in the ruins of a war-torn region.

The culprit behind this catastrophe was the enormous, shimmering silver figure summoned by Tokiomi in the center of the courtyard in Archer class. Unlike the golden dragon princess Catherine Ingram, who had transformed into human form before entering the teleportation array (although given the "princess who never grew up" is so small, even descending in golden dragon form wouldn't have been a problem), the extremely lazy Silver Dragon Lulutia, the guild master of the Totoro Town Adventurers' Guild, was directly summoned as a Heroic Spirit in her dragon form, and surprisingly, she even received the Holy Grail System's approval!

Obviously, even on Earth, most indoor spaces cannot accommodate a dragon.

And so, naturally, the Tohsaka family's magic workshop was instantly burst apart by the enormous body of the silver dragon!

To make matters worse, since the magic workshop was located in the basement of the mansion, the entire estate collapsed with a deafening roar! The magical barrier that Tokiomi Tohsaka had spent six months setting up in the courtyard was also damaged by the shockwave and flying debris. Even Tokiomi himself, the summoner, suffered minor injuries despite managing to erect magical protection in time. The entire Tohsaka family suffered heavy losses.

However, despite all this, Tokiomi Tohsaka believed that all the losses and costs were worthwhile.

Once we win this Holy Grail War, successfully "reach the Root," and join the ranks of the top magic masters, what are mere mortals worth mentioning?

And in this Holy Grail War, his chances of winning are extremely high!

—At the cost of the destruction of his own mansion, he summoned an incredibly powerful fantasy servant! A silver dragon!

Humanity has not seen such a powerful fantasy species for a very, very long time since the end of the mythological era.

Every time he viewed Archer's attribute values ​​with Master privileges, he could hardly contain his joy and excitement.

Class: Archer

Real name: Lulutia Preer

Race: Silver Dragon

Gender: Female

Height/Weight: 8 meters/60 tons (adult dragon form)

Alignment: Order/Good

Strength: EX (The strength of a dragon is naturally terrifying).

Durability: EX (Dragons also have very high durability)

Agility: C (Because of their large size, they are somewhat clumsy when moving).

Magic: A

Lucky: C

Class Skill: Magic Resistance A

Ultra-long-range dragon breath:

Thanks to the Archer class bonus, Lulutia's dragon breath attack can reach a range of up to ten kilometers, but its accuracy is slightly inferior.

Skills:

Instant teleportation:

Because of her spatial magic talent, which is hidden in the bloodline of the silver dragon clan, she can teleport instantly throughout the entire Fuyuki City.

Noble Phantasm: None (Being fixed in dragon form by the Holy Grail system, unable to use Noble Phantasms suitable for human form)

……

Chapter 34, The Masters' Tragic Comedy (The End)

In conclusion, Tokiomi Tohsaka felt immense joy and excitement at being able to summon a fully-formed dragon in this Holy Grail War.

Although Tokiomi Tohsaka felt slightly disappointed that the silver dragon Lulutia did not carry any Noble Phantasms and had the flaw of not being able to materialize and hide her presence, these shortcomings were insignificant compared to her various advantages.

Even with just her enormous dragon body and powerful dragon talent, Miss Lulutia is enough to crush her opponents on the battlefield.

Not to mention, this mother dragon also has the ability to attack from a distance and the skill of [teleportation], and its ten-kilometer range is enough to cover the entire Fuyuki City!

Just imagine, once the enemy's location is locked, Tokiomi Tohsaka can immediately unleash a dragon's breath attack from a distance.

Even if the opponent is physically resilient and a single dragon breath might not kill them, what follows is a silver dragon teleporting, a giant dragon charging at their face, and a mountain crashing down...

Even though the enemy also summoned heroic spirits, the problem is that Noble Phantasms designed, manufactured, and used in human form, even relatively large ones like spears, are probably no more than toothpicks in front of this real dragon that is many times larger than an elephant.

—Although there are many legends of dragon-slaying heroes in the history of medieval Western Europe, such as Siegfried of Germany and Saint George the dragon slayer, Tokiomi Tohsaka knew that, putting aside the evil dragon Fafnir that Siegfried killed, the so-called "dragon" that Saint George killed was only about the size of a dog... and it was completely incomparable to the giant dragon in front of him.

With its sheer size advantage alone, this silver dragon would be invincible in the Holy Grail War.

Moreover, once the enemy's location is detected, you can show off your Mutalisk rush anytime, anywhere. With such a huge advantage, how can you possibly lose?

Moreover, as a traditional magician from a prestigious family of Eastern magic practitioners, Tokiomi Tohsaka is quite confident in his own fighting abilities.

Therefore, given such an overwhelming advantage, Tokiomi Tohsaka was filled with optimism. Although he repeatedly recited his family precepts, reminding himself to remain calm, elegant, and composed, the boundless joy surging within him ultimately made him laugh out loud with pride.

"...Ahahaha! Thank God! It seems I'm destined to win this Holy Grail War!"

However, before Tokiomi Tohsaka's laughter had even subsided, a thunderous complaint came crashing down on him, making his ears almost ring.

—Although the woman's voice was quite soft and pleasant, the volume was as loud as those campaign vehicles with loudspeakers during an election campaign.

"...Hey! Human, isn't my breakfast ready yet? You can't fight the Holy Grail War on an empty stomach!"

Seeing the enormous silver dragon lying in the courtyard, urging him to serve the food, Tokiomi Tohsaka quickly turned around, bowed, and greeted Lady Lulutia. "...I'm very sorry, Your Excellency Silver Dragon, please be patient. I have already instructed my disciple to prepare a whole roasted cow for you as quickly as possible... Kirei! Kirei! How's your beef coming along?" he demanded of Kirei Kotomine, whom he had just summoned.

"...It will take some more time, teacher. It's really not easy to roast a whole cow..." Kirei Kotomine, the priest who had been temporarily pulled in by Tokiomi Tohsaka to help, answered loudly while laboriously turning the extra-large grill with a calf skewered on it over the campfire.

"...Then hurry up and get it done! Next time, remember to bring more takeout or canned food! We can't let Miss Silver Dragon go hungry here!"

"...Yes, teacher." Kirei Kotomine glanced at the silver dragon lying on the ground and answered with his head down.

At the same time, Kirei Kotomine's brooding mind couldn't help but conjure up images of Godzilla-like monsters from Ultraman tokusatsu shows, repeatedly traversing the atmosphere of outer space to descend upon Tokyo and toppling the Tokyo Tower countless times. If Tokiomi Tohsaka were to actually command this giant dragon to roam the streets searching for enemies and engage in battle, then Fuyuki City's fate might be even worse than Tokyo's in the tokusatsu series!

—Imagining the scene of this silver dragon, heavier than a tank, rampaging through the streets of Fuyuki, Kirei Kotomine's feelings were quite complicated.

I wonder if the bridge deck of the Miwon River Bridge can withstand the weight of the silver dragon running across it, according to the design requirements?

Alas, even if the structure of the Mienkawa Bridge is sturdy enough, or even if Tohsaka-sensei can make the silver dragon fly across the river without using the bridge, the fate of this city in the next few days will probably be very miserable.

After all, this silver dragon is so powerful that if it were to engage in a fierce battle with the other heroic spirits, an entire block would probably be razed to the ground!

As for the Fuyuki Cathedral where he works, it would probably be crushed with just one stomp if it encountered this dragon.

Could such a major disaster really be covered up by Tokiomi Tohsaka's connections within the government?

Then, the Church he served, while indeed having a very wide influence in countries all over the world, had the problem that Japan was not Church territory.

If something truly earth-shattering were to happen during the Holy Grail War, the Church of Christendom, with its limited influence in the Far East, might not be able to handle the aftermath properly.

I really don't know how we'll handle this!

Sigh, whatever. Even if something really goes wrong and turns the whole city into ruins, and it can't be hidden anymore, that's Father and Mr. Tohsaka's problem. I don't need to worry about it.

Moreover, even if I tried to persuade her, Tohsaka-sensei might not listen.

After all, Tohsaka-sensei was already blinded by the glorious prospect of winning the Holy Grail War and reaching the pinnacle of magic, so why would she listen to any dissent?

Given the nature of traditional magicians, as long as they can "reach the root," they probably wouldn't care even if they had to turn Fuyuki City into ruins.

He shook his head and continued to generously sprinkle cumin powder, chili powder, and salt onto the whole roasted beef skewered and rotating on the iron rack...

—Well, since it's the famous Kirei Kotomine, the famous priest of Mapo Tofu, personally making this whole roasted beef, it must be an extremely spicy dish, just like his daily meals, covered in fiery red chili powder, with an extremely stimulating taste like volcanic lava…

I wonder if this super spicy food, which is like "flowing lava", will suit Miss Silver Dragon Lulutia's taste.

Next, the last participant in this Fuyuki Holy Grail War, the eccentric killer Ryunosuke Amusei, also completed his Heroic Spirit summoning.

Chapter 35, Heroic Spirits Gather, Mounts Summoned! (Part 1)

Fuyuki City, an apartment

While Tokiomi Tohsaka, a wealthy tycoon in Fuyuki City, had to have a large number of cattle and sheep slaughtered and roasted on the spot to feed his silver dragon servant who weighed a whopping sixty tons, filling his courtyard with the smell of blood, in another corner of Fuyuki City, the same smell of blood permeated the air.
