"Ahaha, it's nothing strange, I just heard someone talking about it."

"Is there anything strange about this matter? Do we need to tell everyone about it?"

“No, so there’s nothing strange about it…”

something wrong with.

It could be seen that this old senior was trying to hide something. Lin Yi wanted to ask him in detail, but at this time a customer came into the store. It was not convenient for Lin Yi to explain in detail, so he did not stay long and left the store directly.

After Lin Yi left, Kamijou Touma started chatting in a low voice with several customers who had just entered the store.

"Are you sure it's this?"

"Yeah, it's him, the guy with the pretty girl assistant."

"So how long did you buy it? Half a year?"

"I haven't placed any bets yet. After all, the situation is still unclear."

“By the way, do you really have to gamble on something like this? Kamijou-san, I think that’s a bit disrespectful to the person involved…”

"Why should I respect this lucky bastard who got a wife for free from the system? Damn, my assistant is just a game software assistant, and his voice is a man's..."

"Ah ha ha……"

Obviously, this matter is a little bit secretive, or in other words, it cannot be told to Lin Yi and Iino.

Of course, the essence of this matter is actually very simple. Saviors with humanoid system assistants are very rare, and according to past practice, such system assistants will basically establish a close relationship with the savior. The statistical result is 100%, but the development process of individual relationships may have various twists and turns.

Therefore, how long it would take for Lin Yi and Iino to change from a normal relationship between savior and system assistant to an abnormal one, you know what that relationship is? Some saviors who had nothing to do secretly opened the bet and started gambling.

Lin Yi didn't understand this for the time being, otherwise he would probably go looking for trouble with those people. Now he was just walking around randomly out of boredom, so he could vent the depression of being forced to lie in bed and recover for three days. Well, it wasn't that he was particularly depressed, after all, Iino fed him all three meals in these three days, and it was quite pleasing to see the girl's blushing face saying to him "Mr. Lin Yi, ah".

"Excuse me, are you Lin Yi?"

A child's voice suddenly called out to Lin Yi who was walking on a quiet street.

"Ah you are……"

Turning his head with some confusion, Lin Yi saw a petite woman who appeared behind him and slowly walked out of an alley.

Slightly, I felt a little bit of dead silence.

No, that's not right.

It was some kind of power related to death that seemed to be residing in the girl in front of him.

"In the Savior Community, there is a Savior who recently met the Mad Fire Phantom during a mission and directly came into contact with the Mad Fire's power, but his mind was not corrupted by it at all. It's you, right? In the Savior mission you just completed, you came into contact with the power of the Fire of Rebirth that evolved from the Mad Fire and exiled it."

The girl who was wearing a hood and whose face could not be seen asked softly.

The other party didn't seem to be an ordinary person, at least he should have some authority that he didn't have. After all, Lin Yi knew very well that neither Jianzi nor Shirou Emiya were the kind of people who would tell everyone about the details of the mission. So, this strange little girl found him and knew what happened to him during the mission through some special means.

"Indeed, what brings you to me?"

Lin Yi was not afraid of the other party playing tricks, so he asked directly.

"I am searching for the Lord of Mad Fire, on a journey to grant him his destined death."

The girl said this and reached out her hand, gently pulling open her hood.

"However, the power of this hidden existence that has transformed into the Fire of Rebirth has become too strong."

"I tried to put an end to this pathetic slave who had lost himself, but was instead severely injured by him, and thus became this fragile child."

"Therefore, in order to complete my mission, I am looking for a powerful savior who has met the Mad Fire Shadow and has the strength and will to resist it. I need your help."

The girl, who looked no more than ten years old, raised her head and looked at Lin Yi, revealing one of her eyes that had turned gray, and the other blue-purple eye that exuded deathly intent.

"I, Melina, want to make a deal with you."

Interlude 3-11: Holy Grail Blessing and the Witch

The fire of rebirth.

The terrifying existence that can destroy all order encountered in the third savior mission.

Even if it is just an insignificant projection, a power clone that is so weak that it cannot be weaker, it is enough to cause a devastating blow to a planetary civilization.

Even though we are far away from that thing now, and even though that mission is over.

However, Lin Yi had to admit that he was deeply impressed by this terrifying thing in every sense, and he would not be able to forget it for a while. In comparison, he had no real experience with [Blood of the Fallen], and only fought some infected people. The followers of [Lord of the Beard] were just a bunch of noobs. To be honest, they could manage the situation into such a terrible state, and they were so noobs and arrogant. He felt that Lord of the Beard must have had no brains when recruiting people.

In contrast, the Fire of Rebirth was very troublesome. You should know that in the third mission, the will of the Fire of Rebirth itself did basically nothing. All these disasters were caused by ordinary people infected by the power of fire. Just this alone has caused a disaster that requires the intervention of the Savior, and even caused Lin Yi to be seriously injured, suffering the most serious injury since he became a Savior.

Hmm... it seems that compared with the battle to encircle and suppress Muzan Kibutsuji, it is still a little worse. However, this does not seem to be a savior mission. It is just taking the initiative to clean up the non-recyclable garbage by yourself.

Well, this guy in front of me, well, looks like a kid from an elementary school.

She also seems to be a savior, and has a deep hostility towards the Fire of Rebirth.

"what do you want from me?"

Lin Yi, who was a little curious, looked at the other party and asked.

"You have met the Mad Fire Shadow and successfully resisted its spiritual erosion. This means that as long as you become strong enough, you will be able to reach the source of the Fire of Rebirth without being contaminated."

"Also, you have a very powerful talent. As long as you absorb high-level energy, you can increase your strength unlimitedly. Although this is very dangerous and accidents are likely to occur, it is undeniable that you have the potential to reach the highest level."

"I hope to make a deal with you. One day in the future, when you are strong enough, you can lead me to the source of the fire of rebirth and to the throne of the Mad Fire. I want to completely destroy the representative of fire and the Mad Fire King. To do this, I must rely on a strong person like you because I am not strong enough."

The little girl named Melina spoke softly, her voice full of determination.

I have to say that although this child looks small and seems to be just a child, as soon as she opens her mouth, the tone and temperament of her voice are completely unlike that of a child, which quickly makes people realize that her real age is probably not young.

According to her own statement, was it because of the serious injuries that she became like this?

Hmm, seems quite interesting.

But this is not the main issue right now.

After all, transactions are a two-way thing. If the other party makes such a request, there must be corresponding returns.

"If I become strong enough, it is indeed possible to confront the hidden existence directly. Although I am not sure whether it is really possible to come into contact with the Fire of Rebirth again, I can indeed agree to such a request. However, since you are seeking a deal, it means that you want an equal agreement. In this case, you want me to do these things, so what will you give in return?"

As Lin Yi said this, he showed a slightly curious expression, wanting to know the response from this strange savior.

"I can indeed give you something in return. One of the things I can do is improve the Holy Grail bottle in your hand."

As she spoke, Melina stretched out her hand and pointed at Lin Yi's pocket.

The Holy Grail bottle that Lin Yi spent a lot of money to buy from a man named Lap in the community store automatically flew out of his package at this moment and fell into Melina's hands.

A gentle light bloomed, and Lin Yi saw that some changes had taken place in the bottle itself, it seemed to become brighter and deeper.

Something was injected into it, causing the properties of the bottle itself to change slightly.

In short, when Melina let go of her hand and the bottle automatically flew back to Lin Yi's hand, he could clearly feel that the aura of the bottle itself had undergone a huge change.

"The power of the Holy Grail bottle is essentially the blessing of the golden tree. Although this is not the golden tree in my world that has been burned, there are more than one intersection in the parallel world, and the golden law can be applied to most intersections. Therefore, I can use my own power to improve this bottle to the level of the [authentic] it should be."

"Now, only about one tenth of this bottle is needed to restore you from a state of near-death to full strength. Even if it is given to someone stronger than you, this Holy Grail Bottle has the power to fully restore an E-rank savior. And it's not just life force, it's a combination of life force and magic power."

"As a sign of sincerity in the transaction, I think this should be enough. Of course, I won't let you make such a dangerous promise just for such a small benefit. I will come back to you later, Mr. Savior Lin Yi."

After a brief exchange, the girl disappeared in front of Lin Yi.

She didn't seem to have a physical body and was just a broken spirit, so if she wanted to disappear, she could just dissipate.

Lin Yi stared at the place where the mysterious girl disappeared. He scratched his head slightly, confused about the situation, then lowered his head to look at the Holy Grail bottle in his hand. Finally, he could only shrug and turn away.

A strange encounter, a strange person.

However, although I don’t know how to put it, it’s not a terrible situation.

Anyway, if there is nothing else, you can consider going back.

Lin Yi, who had lost interest in shopping, was ready to return to the daily world where he lived now.

"Hey, senior?"

But before that, it seemed like I met someone familiar again.

"Meet your son?"

Turning around, I saw Yotsuya Miko, who was wearing a neon high school uniform and a skirt that seemed a little too short, standing in a corner on one side of the street.

"Ah, it's Brother Lin Yi."

And standing next to Miko was Haruka Kanbe, who was not working in Kamijou Touma's shop today.

"Why did you two end up together?"

Lin Yi looked at the two girls, one tall and one short, with some surprise.

Kobe Haruka, a high school student, but not very tall. She only has a small part of her left arm left, and she is used to hanging a light on her chest. She is a very gentle and quiet girl, always busy in the shop happily.

According to Kamijou Touma, this girl was involved in a dangerous incident when she was very young and unfortunately lost an arm. But after that, by tapping into some of her own special powers and getting help from a local native god, Kanbe Haruka became a shrine maiden, possessing the power to help and save others, and was chosen as a savior and has been active ever since.

The shikigami that she contracted with, and the main source of this girl's fighting power, was a terrifying-looking, vicious shikigami holding a giant pair of scissors that was bigger than a human. It seemed to be called Yuan Tianzun. This girl was able to survive the childhood disaster on the spot because of the rescue of this shikigami, although the rescue process was a bit unbearable...

"Sister Miko has the power to become a miko, just like me."

"She has the ability to see things that ordinary people cannot see, and it is a very advanced level of clairvoyance."

"If you can try to use this ability, Sister should be able to exert abilities similar to those of a miko and become even stronger."

In a milk tea shop on the street, Kanbe Haruka chuckled and explained Jianzi's situation to Lin Yi.

"Well, I hope to become stronger in all aspects, so I asked Xiaoyao for help."

Jianzi also nodded slightly. Although they had only not seen each other for a few days, Lin Yi always felt that this girl had become more determined and stronger than before.

It's growing so fast, it's really impressive.

Should we say that it is precisely because of this that this child can become a savior?

"Then I will look forward to your growth."

Lin Yi gave Jianzi a thumbs up and said.

"Well, I'll do my best."

The girl waved her little hand, and her smile was full of brilliance at this moment.

Interlude 3-12: Girl, invitation, swimsuit back

Crash--crash--

The warm water flows over the fair skin.

After rinsing the shower gel and bubbles off her body, the girl let out a breath, then turned around and walked towards the bathtub that was already filled with hot water, lifted her foot, stepped into it, and then slowly sat down.

“It’s quite troublesome to have a physical entity.”

Iino whispered to herself, looking at her very plump parts and smooth body curves.

As a woman, my figure is still pretty good, right?

After all, I made some adjustments when I was making the body. Although this statement may sound a bit narcissistic, Iino is still quite confident about her current body.

Although Mr. Lin Yi didn't seem to care much about this aspect of her.

Well, maybe it’s because I don’t show off my figure? After all, the clothes I usually wear are still very conservative.

Well, what if I wear slightly revealing clothes?

I don’t know what Mr. Lin Yi thinks of me?

If I show more characteristics of the opposite sex, will he have any special opinion of me?

Will there be...

If so, then I want to...

"Oh, no, no, what on earth am I thinking about?"

Covering her face, the girl let out a weak cry at this moment.
