Miss Surtr will ignite the world

"Master, can I take this brat apart?"

As expected, the other party was also angered.

"Hmm... I think I'll pass."

Surtr shook her head. Even if she hadn't accepted the mission, she couldn't do something so cruel.

At the same time, she reminded Ilya.

"You'd better not mess with her, because she really is going to take you apart later, and if you can't put you back together, there's nothing I can do."

"Your goal is the Lesser Grail?"

Without much thought, the only thing worth remembering about her is this one thing.

"If you don't want to wake up with something extra in your stomach, you'd better behave yourself."

Medea made a threat that sounded like that of a villain.

Come to think of it, they were indeed quite villainous today.

Rider and Berserker seem like the main characters of classic shonen manga.

It's just that we failed.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Ilya rubbed her stomach and subconsciously took a half step back, looking genuinely frightened.

Beneath her black robe, Medea's lips curved into a pleased smile.

Medea, you really have a twisted sense of humor to be so happy about bullying a child.

Surtr couldn't quite gauge the other person's interest, but she wasn't worried that he would actually do anything to Ilya. Although it was a bit of a perverse quirk, the other person would carry out her orders perfectly.

"By the way, do you have any ideas about her health problems?"

Surtr asked again.

She remembered that even though Ilya's body wouldn't last much longer due to the modifications, when she carried her before, she felt that Ilya was very light, not at all like the weight of a normal girl.

"We'll need to examine her to determine that. Master, do you intend to save her?"

"That's right, is there something wrong with it?"

"No, since it's your decision."

Medea was completely indifferent, but Surtr might as well check it out if he wanted to save her.

"Okay, it's up to you. By the way, aren't you taking on too many tasks?"

Surtr suddenly realized.

Purify the Holy Grail, obtain the Lesser Grail, heal Ilya, and sometimes even need the opponent's help in battle.

She seemed completely unable to get involved in the other person's work.

Thinking about it this way, all she had to do was consider who to hit next, and it couldn't be easier for her.

Although it was just the right time, I still felt a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you take a rest first?"

Surtr proposed.

"Thank you for your concern, but it's not necessary. The Servant's body is more robust than I imagined."

Medea smiled and shook her head.

"Removing the Lesser Grail only requires a simple surgery, and a physical examination can be done at the same time."

"As for the purification of the Greater Grail, the ritual preparations can be completed before tomorrow night, but the activation of the ritual requires a considerable amount of magical power."

"Considering the battles to come, I originally intended to directly extract the magic from the ley lines, but the existence of the Holy Grail ritual made the process very troublesome. But now it seems there's no need to worry."

As she spoke, Medea looked at Ilya.

The opponent was specially modified by the Einzberns, with their entire body covered in magic circuits, allowing them to summon Servants using only their own magical power. Moreover, simply standing on the land of Fuyuki allows them to connect to the ley lines, providing a continuous flow of magical power—making them incredibly useful as a power bank.

Ilya felt the way the other person looked at her like she was a lab rat. Well, she couldn't see the other person's eyes, but even through the black robe, she could feel the other person's ill intentions.

She took two steps back and used Surtr's body to block the other person's view.

Compared to that sinister witch, this hot-looking guy is more comfortable.

Sure enough, people are afraid of comparison.

Moreover, the sheer amount of information revealed in their conversation also caught her attention.

First of all, these two people in front of her knew more about the Holy Grail than she thought. They not only knew about the contamination, but also planned to purify the Holy Grail, and even had the ritual already prepared.

That's way too fast.

Saber hasn't even been summoned yet, and you've already done so much. The other contestants are still at the starting line, and these two are already one step away from the finish line.

The difference is just too big.

Of course, this wasn't the most important thing for her, given that she had already failed.

Looking up, Ilya's face showed confusion.

"You want to save me?"

"Ah."

Surtr nodded.

"Why? I was just about to kill you."

From their perspectives, there was absolutely no need for them to do anything unnecessary.

Because it's raw stone.

Surtr thought to himself.

Of course, this is something that obviously cannot be said.

I thought about it carefully in my mind.

Setting aside the added favorability from her past life's culinary skills and cute appearance, Surtr felt there was only one reason.

"If you took a kitten home and found it injured, you would definitely try to treat it, right?"

"Something like that feeling."

As for the other party wanting to kill him.

Putting aside the fact that the two were already enemies, would you care about being threatened by a kitten?

Because she had the luxury of choice, she could do whatever she wanted.

That's the mindset of a strong person.

But his face is definitely a big plus. If he looked like that old bug, Surtr would never have bothered with him.

Thanks to the Einzbern family for their aesthetic sense.

"..."

Ilya puffed out her cheeks after receiving a reply.

More small animals.

The other party has always maintained this attitude; she has never been considered a worthy opponent from the very beginning.

Considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, this is perhaps to be expected.

The opponent was someone who could go toe-to-toe with Berserker, let alone someone as small as himself.

Damn it, this feels so annoying.

Ilya stomped her foot on the spot.

If possible, she'd like to grow up a bit, like Sera, or rather, like Lyselle.

Ilya looked up and could see the obvious curve of Surtr's chest, as well as the woman in the black robe, whose figure was still slightly undulating even though she was covered up so tightly.

As a mature woman, it's definitely better to be a little older.

Thinking about it that way, Sera is really pitiful. Maybe we should ask her if she wants to make some adjustments later.

Artificial humans should be able to be adjusted, right?

Ilya's thoughts gradually drifted in a strange direction.

Surtr, seeing the little girl suddenly fall silent and clutch her chest, thought something was wrong with her health.

When asked, the other party blushed and stammered, giving a vague answer.

Strange.

But it's alright.

Because of the ritual, Ilya's surgery was postponed until the day after tomorrow.

After arranging the room, we let the other person go and rest.

There's no need to worry about the other party escaping. Medea's familiars are stationed around Ryudouji Temple, and they'll be discovered quickly if they try anything.

Although she had already said it before, she still had to say it.

Medea was truly capable.

Speaking of familiars, Surtr also thought of something: with such a convenient thing as familiars, why would she be so foolish as to wander around the streets?

Since magic is rarely used, I never thought of this.

It's not just that, but thanks to that I was able to bring a little girl home.

It has its pros and cons.

fsn: Chapter Twenty-Five - Clothes Slightly Dirty

Familiars generally refer to magical creatures controlled by magicians through contracts or spells.

From ordinary flowers, birds, insects, and fish to heroic spirits and Servants, and even things that resemble electronic life forms.

Basically, any creature that can be summoned through magic can be called a familiar.

This is a discipline with a low lower limit and an extremely high upper limit.

Servants are also familiars, and Surtr had learned some related knowledge from Medea beforehand, so it wasn't too difficult to do.

A short while later, a small black bird of unknown species flew out of Ryudong Temple.

If you just want to do reconnaissance, you don't need any complicated operations; you can just catch a bird from the forest.

Meanwhile, inside the workshop.

Medea, who was preparing Avalon, looked up and gazed through her familiar toward the direction of the little bird.

Such a gruesome technique could only be performed by his own Master within Ryudouji Temple.

"Teach her how to use magic when you have time."

Medea thought so.

Meanwhile, Surtr was unaware that Medea had already arranged his future free time, and was clumsily maneuvering Fokin toward Fuyuki City.

Incidentally, Fukin was the name she gave the little bird; since it was her first familiar, it was natural to give it a memorable name.

It doesn't mean anything, I just found it interesting.

Because he was only a low-level familiar, Surtr could only give him simple and clear commands.

However, it still gave her a rather wonderful experience. By connecting with the other person's gaze, Surtr gained a rather novel perspective, feeling as if she were playing a VR game.

However, because it was just an ordinary bird, Surtr's perception was severely restricted, like wearing a helmet that only revealed its eyes.

This made her a little uncomfortable.

Furthermore, the battles of Servants don't necessarily make a lot of noise, so you might not be able to detect anything.

However, I initially just approached it with a playful attitude, and it didn't matter if I didn't gain anything.

Surtr made up an excuse and started wandering around the area above Fuyuki City.

She had intended to go to the previous battlefield to see how the Holy Church was handling things, but before that, she met several familiar faces.

Fuyuki City, Miyama Town.
