Miss Surtr will ignite the world

The current situation is very clear: it's a complete four-way standoff.

Saber and archer joined together with the other three groups.

Judging from the looks of it, the strongest is the Lancer group. The combination of two causal reversals and Spirit Origin Ascension is just too overpowered. If they encounter a combination like the Rider group that relies heavily on Noble Phantasms, they would probably directly counter the opponent to death.

And the weakest.

"It looks like it's us."

Surtr was lying on a deckchair in the yard when he suddenly realized something.

Judging from their apparent strength, she, as the Master with only one weak Caster, is the weakest.

Despite her impressive track record, the stereotype is that casters are not a suitable class for combat.

Compared to opponents who typically possess the strength of two Servants, she can probably only be considered one and a half.

I have a feeling that those guys will use her as a guinea pig first.

The weak are always the first to be eliminated.

However, whether she is a weak person is still debatable.

“Saber and Archer together don’t pose much of a threat; the trouble is with the other two. Rider is basically all about brute force, which is relatively easy to deal with.”

"Lancer is the more troublesome one."

"I remember Medea could make lucky charms."

Although that was Lili's skill, there was no reason why Medea, as a fully evolved being, wouldn't know it.

A curse that reverses cause and effect is indeed troublesome, but it can be avoided with good luck. Besides, it is a curse in essence, and the omnipotent Medea may have some way to become immune to curses.

The most troublesome one is Bazett; we'll definitely need someone else to keep her in check.

But wouldn't it be too dangerous if Medea were alone? The definition of "ace" is actually quite ambiguous, and it's not certain that it has to be a Noble Phantasm.

Perhaps we could set up a barrier beforehand to separate the two of them.

Various thoughts swirled in her mind, and then she came to a conclusion.

"In short, let's develop for a while first."

Development doesn't refer to her. Although this body isn't locked to a spirit origin like a Servant, expecting it to improve significantly in a few days is clearly wishful thinking.

The subject of this development naturally refers to Medea.

After all, he is a magician, and he needs time to prepare. He has an advantage as the game progresses.

Oh, because we've almost run out of materials, we need to go and get some more.

As for the target, it is naturally Einzbern, who just came knocking on our door today.

Of course, that's all for tomorrow.

As for now.

Surtr sat up.

Go back to your room and go to sleep.

fsn: Chapter Twenty-Eight - I understand, I understand; if you don't understand, it's best not to say more.

The next day, at noon.

Perhaps because he was too tired from fighting two Servants in a row yesterday, Surtr woke up when the sun was already high in the sky.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a white-haired little girl standing by the bed looking at her with a resentful expression.

"Is there a problem?"

Stumbling out of bed in a daze, Surtr asked in confusion.

I'm hungry.

The little girl, with a cold expression, begged to be fed.

"Where is Medea?"

Surtr got out of bed, wearing only a thin shirt, and began changing clothes in front of Illya without a care. Her beautiful figure made the little girl unconsciously cover her chest with her hands.

"That woman in black robes wouldn't let me go down the mountain, and she even wanted me to drink some strange potion."

"A strange potion?"

"They say one bottle is enough to make someone go without food for a month, but it smells like it was fished out of a sewer."

As Ilya spoke, her little face scrunched up.

Surtr thought Medea was probably just teasing him, and based on his past life experience (from the anime), the two of them got along quite well.

If the person involved knew, they would only think that Surtr was blind.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll take you to the street."

In fact, since his transmigration, Surtr has never had a proper meal. The only food he has eaten is the ice cream he had yesterday.

According to her, even if she didn't eat for ten days or half a month, nothing would happen.

Needless to say, Medea is a Servant who doesn't need to eat at all, so the two of them have never paid attention to this aspect before. They might as well try the local cuisine this time.

Thinking about it this way, Saber should be glad she wasn't summoned, otherwise, if she had taken the other party away, given the food she has here, they might have rebelled.

After tidying up his clothes, Surtr took Illya out the door.

Oh, and by the way, let's ask Medea if she's going.

After sending a message to the other party using the contract, a moment later, in front of the mountain gate, Medea, dressed in casual clothes, hurled insults at Ilya.

"You only need to drink my potion, you little brat who always causes trouble for others."

"Who wants to drink that kind of stuff?"

Ilya hid behind Surtr and made a face at him.

These two must have a really good relationship.

Surtr thought of it again.

"Your work should be almost finished, so go and relax."

Holding Ilya's hand, the three of them walked down the steps.

"Yes, the work at hand has indeed been completed, and we can proceed with the ceremony as soon as we get back."

"That's really efficient, but was it really necessary to rush it? Couldn't it have been purified closer to the end of the Holy Grail War?"

"With a sigh," Surtr asked.

They're putting in so much effort to purify the Holy Grail, but if they don't win in the end, wouldn't all their hard work be for nothing?

Of course, it's not that we want to leave this huge bomb unattended.

They just felt that purifying it at the end would be an extra layer of insurance, since only their group had the ability to purify the Holy Grail.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Medea shook her head.

"Because the things inside the Holy Grail are still dormant, but they will gradually awaken with the death of the Servants, and it won't be so simple to do it then."

She was referring, of course, to Angolan Mainyu.

"Moreover, purifying the Holy Grail is also beneficial to us. The magic power accumulated within it, even if it is simply made into cannonballs and fired, can defeat the vast majority of Servants."

“It is also possible to summon by force, bypassing the system.”

"If we can gain further access to the Holy Grail, then the outcome of this Holy Grail War will be pretty much a foregone conclusion."

"However, considering the time constraints, it's difficult to estimate,"

"In short, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Medea gave her summary, leaving Surtr completely bewildered.

Even if Surtr obtained the Greater Grail, there would be nothing he could do, but Medea is different; she can use the knowledge of the other party to perform many actions.

how to say.

The same amount of money can be used in completely different ways by people with and without experience.

Unfortunately, Surtr was that ignorant fellow.

Unfortunately.

While Surtr felt disappointed by his ignorance, Ilya's expression was unusually complicated.

She realized that even if she hadn't been ambushed, she still couldn't outmaneuver these two guys.

The initial strength was already very high, and now they've even secured the trophy ahead of schedule.

How are the other participants supposed to play?

That's pure cheating.

However, it seems she also cheated, but she was still eliminated in the first round.

Suddenly I felt even more miserable.

The three of them found a decent-looking ramen restaurant at the foot of the mountain to have lunch.

The prices on the menu were quite high, but that wasn't a big problem for Surtr, who was no longer troubled by money.

Moreover, the taste certainly lived up to the price, and even Ilya's inexplicably low mood improved considerably.

But bickering with Medea was inevitable.

In her words, "Even food tastes bad when I'm with the woman in the black robe."

Medea seems to have a similar view.

In the end, Surtr was probably the only one who was happy, since eating with a beautiful girl is always a delightful experience.

She's definitely a sucker for good looks.

After finishing their meal, the three headed towards the Einzbern family's castle, though it wasn't exactly on their way.

As I mentioned last night, we're going to collect the spoils.

Although it's not appropriate to say this to him personally, this objective will not change.

Magic is an extremely expensive profession, and Surtr and Medea are both penniless. They spent all the things they stole from the Matou family on purifying the Holy Grail.

The more powerful the item, the more resources it requires. The support from the Einzbern family has come at a very opportune time.

Furthermore, having relevant information would make things much easier if you wanted to adjust Ilya.

Furthermore, Surtr was also very interested in android technology.

As for the reasons, those who understand will understand, and those who don't won't say much.

As for Ilya herself, she seemed to have resigned herself to her fate. Without Berserker, she couldn't possibly fight against these two people no matter what.

Moreover, there are still two of Ilya's maids in the castle, who are still unaware that Ilya has been defeated.

No normal magician would expect that a monster like Berserker could be defeated so easily. If the news reached Hadron, he would probably be so shocked that he would crash on the spot.

In any case, it's best for both sides to avoid conflict.

So Ilya personally drove the two of them into the castle's protective barrier.

Shockingly, this little girl can drive.

Given the other person's height, it would probably be difficult for them to even see the front of the car.

And not only does he have a car, but he also has a driver's license. I really don't know how this guy got it.

Surtr initially got into the car thinking that she wouldn't be hurt even if it blew up, but she found that the little guy drove surprisingly smoothly.

Although the three were stopped by traffic police several times on the road, they still managed to drive safely out of the downtown area without any collisions.

Shocking.

Although he had already said it once, Surtr still wanted to say it again.
