Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"She accepted the usual challenges from strangers... I mean, isn't that deck of hers a bit over the top? Is anyone really capable of beating her? She's even lowered her requirements, saying anyone who can take her life will be able to pick one of her eleven cards, but no one has succeeded yet."

Jiang You recalled the cards he got from passers-by. Generally, there were few cards with attack power higher than 2000. It was indeed not easy to make Tima lose blood.

"Let's continue with the previous topic."

After learning about Ti Ma's current situation, Jiang You brought the topic back.

"I'm sorry to have increased your workload regarding the invitation snatching. I'll ask Medea to add a new feature so that the invitees can respond to emergencies and treat attackers' attacks as invitations to duel."

In fact, Jiang You also wanted his automatic sweep function to work properly. If he didn't participate in the duel, he would not get any rewards.

"That's not what I meant."

Bazette turned her head away, a bit embarrassed. As the Clock Tower's agent, she was already accustomed to the violence between magicians. A single fatal grab was no big deal. She simply meant to point out that Jiang You had sent too few invitations. The value of the Third Law's product far exceeded the current wealth of all magicians. It could be said that if they could obtain it, they would have the opportunity to further their family's development.

"Actually, I'm here to ask Mr. Jiang You to send some more invitations to our Clock Tower."

"I remember I gave each department two tickets based on the number of departments you have, right? Isn't that enough?"

"Because there are many factions within each department..."

Bazette lowered his head. The Clock Tower seemed to have realized that Jiang You would not lower its evaluation of the Clock Tower because of such an incident, so it sent Bazette to let her shamelessly ask for an invitation.

"Because the invitations couldn't be distributed evenly, there was some internal unrest, so this was the only option left."

"I thought your style would be something like 'Only the victor deserves an invitation!'"

Jiang You really wanted to see the Clock Tower beat the shit out of them, but the more likely scenario was that they would team up to snatch your invitation from someone else. It would be unwise to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, so Jiang You still agreed to their request.

"So, how have you considered the venue? If you've decided, we'll start clearing the site."

Toosaka Rin had previously handed Jiang You the map of the area she had planned. The locations she chose were all in open areas, close to or right on the spiritual veins, making it convenient to directly draw on magic power.

"Make a decision as soon as possible. It takes time to set up the scene. You can't let Medea take full responsibility again, right?"

Jiang You really thought so, mainly because the only Caster he could use was Medea. Merlin was very cunning and could not be seduced. Who else could he use if not Medea?

Jiang You took another look at the map and found that Yuanzang Mountain was not listed as an optional target by Toosaka Rin. There was also a large spiritual vein there, and the ruins of the first duel tournament were still there. If they patched up a little, it should not be a problem to hold the second game.

After Jiang You raised his doubts, Toosaka Rin quickly gave an answer.

"That's why I came to you. Didn't you use the Holy Grail as a battery to maintain your Noble Phantasm covering the city? It should be very stable, but something has gone wrong recently. The fluctuations in magic power are a bit strange."

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Jiang You thought, isn't this a sign of an accident? Fortunately, he asked, otherwise, with Tōsaka Rin's tendency to slack off, she might not tell him until halfway through the duel. It wouldn't be surprising if something unexpected happened then.

"This kind of thing should be dealt with immediately. Take me there!"

"What do you take me for?"

Toosaka Rin pouted. It was obviously she who worked diligently for Fuyuki, so why did Jiang You still think there was something wrong with her?

"Although I'm not familiar with this kind of sudden incident, there are quite a few magicians in Fuyuki right now, and I checked with them. It's nothing more than a resonance. Since the Holy Grail has the ability to connect to the inner world, it's likely that the Holy Grail in another world is also raging, and it has resonated with our Holy Grail. You don't have to worry about anything, at most, someone from that world has fled to our place."

"I haven't read many magic books, so don't lie to me."

Jiang You didn't think crossing the world line was an easy thing, even though he could switch scripts in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, the puppeteer I hired this time is a 'sealed designated' puppeteer. Although it's a bit expensive, his abilities are guaranteed."

Tōsaka Rin patted her chest confidently. She'd spent a fortune fulfilling her duties as a manager. "She said not to worry. As long as they don't make a wish and come to our side, there's nothing to worry about. Once the Holy Grail War ends, the resonance will end, and it won't seem so complicated."

At the moment Toosaka Rin spoke, a huge wave of magical power spread outward in a ring from the top of Mount Enzo. This huge magical power instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"What did I say?"

Jiang You looked at the stunned Toosaka Rin and stood up helplessly, then looked to see which direction the servant came from.

Chapter 354: Visitors from a Parallel World.

"This...this is different from what we agreed on!"

Looking at Tiamat's 5000 attack points, the passers-by in the battle showed a rather unacceptable expression.

"Even my previous opponents hadn't used their full strength! Am I hated? I'm actually hated by a maternal little girl..."

In fact, there was only one main body and [Primordial Sea] on the field, and she only used about 30% of her power. However, this 30% of power was an insurmountable mountain for most people, even servants.

"Sorry, Mom, I sense there are children who need more help, so I can't stay here for too long."

Tiamat looked towards Yuanzang Mountain. "How about this? I'll leave a child here. The cards it possesses are somewhat related to me, but their strength will be much lower. You can continue to work hard!"

"So, excuse me. Entering the battle phase, [Tiamat]'s direct attack!"

The 5000 points of attack power directly knocked the passerby away.

Next, Tiamat released a very small area of ​​the primordial sea, reached into it and rummaged around, finally pulling out a Lahmu.

Tima could produce quite a lot of these mass-produced creatures in an instant. She patted Lahmu's head.

"Please play with them."

After saying that, Tima rode on a magical beast that had just been pulled out of the fetal sea and rushed towards Yuanzang Mountain.

In fact, Jiang You originally wanted to ride his flying dragon to travel, but there were too many people traveling with him, and the flying dragon's back could only carry two or three people at most, so he had to choose another way of travel.

Borrowing a car from Ilya, Jiang You drove with Rin Tōsaka, Bazette, Ilya, and several other servants to Mount Enzo. Ilya even offered to let her drive; the car was actually Ilya's, and she even had a driver's license, though Jiang You couldn't understand how Ilya, given her height, had managed to pass the test. Of course, Jiang You ultimately took over the driver's seat, otherwise the Fuyuki people would have seen an unmanned car.

Driving wasn't entirely without its benefits. Along the way, Jiang You saw numerous people dueling, each surrounded by spectators. Fuyuki's Duel City plan was proceeding smoothly. Jiang You even saw Rahmu, having won a duel, gnawing on his opponent's head, though the duel's protection prevented him from doing any effective damage.

"Um, Rahmu?"

Jiang You glanced at it, not taking it too seriously. With Ti Ma around, it was perfectly normal for this kind of thing to happen. He should focus on Yuanzang Mountain first.

When Jiang You arrived at the location of the Holy Grail, an orange-haired justice partner also arrived here and waved to Jiang You enthusiastically.

"Emiya-san?"

Jiang You also responded with a wave of his hand, and then issued a soul-searching question.

"Shouldn't you be in class right now? Why are you skipping again? Are you really okay with your studies?"

"Hahahaha...I've been called in for questioning."

In fact, although a lot of things happened in the middle, for Shirou Emiya, the Holy Grail War had only been over for less than two months, and Fuyuki's life had changed drastically. During this time, he had to play the role of a messenger of justice and deal with those evil people who intended to use duels to realize their dirty wishes. How could he have the mind to attend classes?

"Besides, isn't it because you've already started the second Duel Tournament? School has actually already started its holidays."

Jiang You then realized the magnitude of his duel's impact on the city, even beginning to influence the values ​​of the people of Fuyuki. Furthermore, the time between the two duel tournaments seemed a bit short; normally, it should be about a year apart, and even longer, up to four years.

But who made this game take so long to develop? And it needs to be synchronized with real time. Who can afford that? The game designer is just too idle!

"So you came to Mount Enzo to save the world? You're pretty quick. I remember your Emiya family is quite far from here."

Jiang Youxin said that he was worthy of being the protagonist, and he must be present at the critical moment.

"That's not the case."

Shirou Emiya scratched his head a little embarrassedly. Saving the world was still too far away for him.

"Actually, I'm here to look for the Student Council President, Ise. The Holy Grail seems to be acting strangely lately, causing him to have trouble sleeping. I came here to comfort him."

It's really worthy of being called central air conditioning. Even my male classmates are doing their best. Jiang You couldn't help but sigh at the good-natured character of Shirou Emiya.

"Since we're here, let's go in and take a look. According to Tōsaka Rin's information, the visitors here are likely visitors from a parallel world, or the victorious side of the Holy Grail War. There's a high probability that a battle will break out, so you should prepare in advance."

"Holy Grail War!?"

Emiya Shirou was shocked. As an actual participant in the Holy Grail War, albeit a marginal one, he was well aware of its specifics. Even a character as outrageous as Gilgamesh couldn't have the final laugh in this battle, so the victor must be incredibly powerful. After all, the victor here was someone who could forcibly rewrite the rules of the world. "But why did they come to our world?"

"Who knows."

Jiang You had no way of guessing who the visitor was at the first moment. Perhaps the winner over there had already completed the unification of the world and was planning to start conquering the parallel world.

Toosaka Rin seemed to have thought of this situation as well. Her face looked a little solemn as she silently took out her gem.

"Oh no, I don't seem to have any weapons prepared!"

Seeing Toosaka Rin's actions, Emiya Shirou subconsciously wanted to find a weapon to defend himself.

"Don't worry, have you forgotten what's going on with Fuyuki now?"

Jiang You waved his hand to signal them not to worry. Even if the pigeon came down from the opposite side, it would still have to play two games of cards before leaving.

"As long as people are here, it's fine. Might as well take this opportunity to adjust my deck."

Several people nodded, but didn't adjust their decks. The cards circulating on the market wouldn't have much effect on them, and would only contaminate their own decks. However, Bazette glanced at her own cards and suddenly realized that Cu Chulainn was still in her deck. She suddenly regretted not staying in Fuyuki longer.

Jiang You led a few people into the depths of the large caverns of Yuanzang Mountain, and what caught their eyes was a field of "corpses." However, these were not actual corpses, but rather duelists (magicians) who had temporarily lost their ability to move after losing a duel.

"It seems the problem is quite serious."

Shirou Emiya had a serious expression on his face. There were a few people here who had fought with him before. They were magicians with some strength, and the time of his magic burst had not been too long. He could defeat them so quickly here, so the enemy should not be underestimated.

Soon, footsteps were heard from the depths of the cave, and a figure with ferocious horns slowly emerged from the darkness.

355

Chapter 355: Someone kicked himself off the track.

The non-human silhouette made Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka present assume a fighting stance, and Bazette also secretly activated his own Noble Phantasm, the Backlight Sword.

When the owner of the outline was completely exposed in front of everyone, Jiang You realized that the person who came was Tiamat. However, at this time, Tiamat was holding a little black-haired girl in her arms. The girl had her eyes closed and there were still some traces of the battle on her body.

"She, she's the rather active Servant."

As a frequently active partner of justice, Emiya Shirou naturally paid extra attention to a few special individuals in Fuyuki. The recently appeared white horned girl is incredibly recognizable, each of her cards possessing devastating power. While Sanwu's expression suggests a forbidding presence, she's actually quite approachable. Many duelists flock to see this girl, who grants powerful cards simply by dealing battle damage.

However, no one has been able to do it so far. In the first stage, Tiamat will not be damaged by battle, and the 5000 panel in the second stage almost directly crushes all magicians, not to mention those rather excessive effects.

But the situation at the scene all pointed to Tiamat as the culprit of this sudden situation. The "corpses" scattered all over the ground were the best proof. Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth and was the first to go forward.

"Mr. Jiang You, since this battle is unavoidable, I will hold her back first. Please snatch the child from her. I will do my best to test all the effects of her cards. From now on, I'll leave it to you."

"Wouldn't it be better if we didn't suddenly make it like the final battle?"

Rin Toosaka knew that Tiamat was a servant summoned by Jiang You, so there was no need to worry about the situation here. At least the enemy could never be Tiamat, which was very reassuring.

"Should I say you are ignorant and fearless, or are you a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger? This is Tiamat, and you actually dare to attack her?"

"Tiamat...?"

As mentioned before, Emiya-san is currently or will soon be troubled by the problem of repeating a grade, so he certainly couldn't have any impression of this unpopular myth. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the source of these four.

"Is there anything special?"

Toosaka Rin slapped herself in the face.

"I didn't know you were still going!"

Jiang You focused his attention on the black-haired girl in Tima's arms. Although the black-haired girl's hair was disheveled and she didn't wear any distinctive ornaments, if he connected the previous conditions, the Holy Grail War, and wishing to travel to another world, the girl's identity was obvious.

——Beautiful travel on the new moon.

"Miyu?"

Jiang You subconsciously called out the name. All the times other characters had appeared were summoned by his cards, and this was the first time he had come. Jiang You thought that the connection with the magical girl Ilia was through the Ilia who was summoned by mistake.

Miyu's eyelids twitched when she heard the familiar name, but she couldn't wake up after all. The long period of depression and fatigue had overwhelmed her small body and she fell into a deep sleep.

"Do you know this girl?"

There must be something special about this child that Tiamat would take such an interest in her and come to collect him. Rin Tōsaka immediately asked, "But why now... could it be?!"

"Yes, she is the one who came from another world."

Jiang You can even determine the timeline there. If the plot progresses according to normal procedures, Miyu should now appear in the world of the magical girl Illya, and soon she will sign a contract with Sapphire to become a magical girl.

"Besides, the winner of the World Holy Grail War over there was Emiya Shirou."

"Ah I?"

Jiang You had no need to lie, but Emiya Shirou still couldn't accept it. "I won the Holy Grail War? Is that true? Am I some amazing magician in this parallel world?"

"Very impressive, so thick-skinned that even the Sword of Separation can't penetrate it."

Even though the sword of discord used by Angelica Endsworthy with the golden card is not as powerful as the original, its value should not be underestimated. Shirou Emiya accomplished this feat that few Heroic Spirits can do with the body of a high school student, and he deserves the title of Fuyuki Slayer King.

But how did Emiya Shirou's wish, "I hope for a world where Miyu can be free from pain, where she can meet kind people, make friends who can laugh and share, and grasp the gentle, small moments of happiness," end up being targeted at this world? Clearly, the style of the painting on Moyi's side is more suitable.

Jiang You pondered it carefully, then realized that any talk of a world where Illya could find happiness was a lie. Once everyone had relaxed under the comforting, light yuri plot, the author had begun wielding the butcher's knife. It seemed that this world wasn't as stable as this one. Even if Jiang You messed up Fuyuki, he still had the powerful forces of Tima and Ailei to support him. Furthermore, in this world, Illya was still in elementary school.
