I am the protagonist

"...That's you!"

Medea also hoped things could be that simple.

She'd be willing to wear the clothes as long as they were made and given to Saber.

Medea knew that this idea would not be so easy to achieve, at least not for Saber's stubborn temperament, it was unrealistic to expect her to willingly wear such clothes.

“Saber and I have a lot of problems.”

"For example?"

“I had made a dress to give to Saber, but she tore it to shreds right in front of me.”

"No way, I lived with Saber for a while, she shouldn't be the kind of person who would refuse other people's kindness."

Shirou doesn't believe Saber would refuse someone's kindness.

Shirou might not have known this during the Holy Grail War, but now Saber wouldn't easily refuse other people's kindness.

What clothes did Caster give Saber? Shirou suddenly became interested in this question.

"Caster, is there something wrong with the clothes you sent to Saber?"

"What are you kidding!?"

Medea jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"The clothes I made for Saber were all designed to fit her body perfectly."

"Besides, I made it myself. Do you think I would make something terrible?"

"Hmm... I find it strange that you're so agitated."

The more Shirou listened, the more he realized that what Caster gave Saber was definitely not just some simple clothes.

They then began to speculate about what Caster had sent.

"You wouldn't be giving Saber those personal items, would you?"

"!?"

Seeing Caster's shocked expression, Shirou knew he had guessed correctly.

"You really gave Saber those personal items?"

"It's not going to be something with those colors again, is it!?"

Medea's face stiffened slightly when she was asked the question.

Okay, she admits that the gift she gave Saber back then did have a bit of a suggestive connotation.

Shirou had already gotten the answer from Caster's face.

"I was wondering why Saber, who usually has a good temper, couldn't get along with you so much."

"If you were to give Saber something like that... it would be strange if she didn't tear it to shreds right in front of you."

Ultimately, Saber is also a king.

You're sending those suggestive things to the top players... Do you really think all top players are that kind of idiot?

Shirou was at a loss for words when it came to this woman.

He turned his head to look at the cabinet on one side.

"They're all Saber's toys."

"Swimsuit, lion costume, maid outfit... You really do like Saber quite a bit."

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Medea's Interests

Walking into the cabinet and looking at the different Saber toys displayed inside, Shirou also thought Caster was really skillful.

Medea was quite proud when she talked about her love for Saber.

"Of course."

"My love for Saber will never change."

"...If I could, I really wish the Holy Grail War could end a little later. If I could succeed, Saber would be wearing the clothes I designed right now."

Medea always felt it was a great pity when she talked about this.

Now all the Heroic Spirits have achieved a half-heroic, half-human status, and can remain in this era forever even without a Master, which makes Medea's original method of capturing Saber impractical.

Without the constraints of Command Seals, Medea was certain that Saber would kill her.

Although Medea really wanted the adorable Saber, she also didn't want to be killed by Saber in a few slashes.

"Why don't you send her some more normal clothes?"

"I think this lion costume is pretty good."

I won't go into the clothes Shirou wears on the other toys, but the lion doll outfit is quite nice.

That lion doll costume suits Saber very well.

Furthermore, Saber can wear this costume as pajamas.

"If Saber could wear it, I would definitely give it to her."

Medea sighed at that moment.

"But the clothes I gave her were all guarded."

"The clothes I made were actually quite good, and I didn't do anything to them."

The size is absolutely perfect for Saber's figure.

The best materials are used.

The design is fine.

There are no problems with the production.

The materials are fine too.

The question is whether Saber wants to accept it after it's given away.

Medea believes that if it were given by Shirou Emiya, Saber would probably have accepted it.

But if it was a gift from her... Medea believed that Saber would tear open the gift within half a day to see if there was anything inside.

"Because you have a criminal record, right?"

“If you didn’t have a criminal record, Saber probably wouldn’t have rejected your gift so directly.”

"But to be fair, your toy is quite well made."

"Hmph, isn't that obvious?"

Medea had absolute confidence in her craftsmanship.

"As a magician, I definitely need to make some magic props."

"The quality of some magic props is determined by the quality of other items, so magicians need to have certain skills before making magic props."

It was because of her accumulated skills that Medea was able to create so many things.

It looks like a figurine.

It looks like clothes.

Magic props are easy to make.

This is not due to a difference in the level of magic, but rather a difference in skill.

"Caster, are you very good at making magic props?"

"Isn't that natural?"

"Kid, do you think my job as a Caster is just for show?"

Medea felt that this brat was underestimating her abilities.

"I didn't mean that."

"I mean, I've actually been trying to make magic props recently."

"Hey~ this is interesting."

Medea suddenly became interested in this topic.

"Kid, magic props aren't so easy to make."

"Ordinary magicians cannot easily create magic props."

In fact, Medea was right; ordinary magicians cannot create high-quality magic props.

To create high-quality magic props, one needs years of accumulated experience.

Medea could be said to have done all the tricks that modern magicians use.

Those so-called magic props were not within her sight.

After all, judging from her status as a top-notch magic prop maker, all other magic props made by other magicians seem like third-rate ones.

"Kid, what kind of magic prop are you planning to make?"

"Elixir of Life."

"puff!"

This answer also terrified Medea.

"You... you're going straight into tackling such a difficult alchemical potion?"

"As far as I know, there aren't many modern magicians who can create such high-level alchemical potions."

As a top-notch magician, Medea naturally knew about the elixir of immortality.

However, this kind of thing is actually quite useless; it only makes people live forever, not make them immortal.

Having one more "immortal" and having one less "immortal" are two completely different concepts.

The elixir of immortality must be legendary; even a top-tier magician wouldn't easily create such a thing.

However, if it's an elixir of immortality, even a second-rate magician can make it.

Of course, he wasn't a second-rate magician in modern times, but a second-rate magician from the mythological era.

"And do you know how precious some of these materials are?"

"Dragon blood...isn't it?"

Medea paused for a moment.

"You actually know about that?"

"It seems you weren't joking when you said you wanted to make an elixir of immortality."

The formula for that medicine is from ancient times, and magicians of this era have no idea about it.

Now that Shirou Emiya can mention "Dragon Blood," it means he truly knows the recipe, and may even know how to make the alchemical potion.

Suddenly, Medea developed a strong interest in Shirou Emiya.

Although she didn't know how Emiya Shirou learned the formula for that drug, the current Emiya Shirou had piqued her interest.

"interesting."

"I'd like to see how a modern magician like you could create alchemical potions of that caliber."

“Kid, you’ve been coming to Liudong Temple quite often these days. I’d like to see what other skills you have up your sleeve.”

"...Why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing?"

Medea smiled gently.

"I've just developed some interest in magicians of this era."

"You know a formula that no modern magician should know."

"Although I don't know how you found out, and I don't think you'll tell me on your own, I can tell just by looking at your methods."

Every magician has their own unique techniques.

Although Medea didn't know how Shirou Emiya learned about the recipe, she could guess who was helping him by looking at his methods.
