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

Luvia then changed right in front of Jiang You. Seeing her glowing, magically weaving a magical girl's uniform to replace her dress, Jiang You suddenly felt the urge to kick her. This wasn't an anime where transformations always had a time-stopping effect. There was no way the enemy would sit through the entire transformation, right? Was this kind of inexplicable pre-animation really necessary? There were no audiences.

"What a shame! You don't understand the gap between us. Do you think you'll have an advantage if you refuse? Let me tell you, you have no choice! Get her for me!"

Jiang You immediately pulled out Baimao and Curse Arm. The best choice was naturally Tima, but with an opponent of Luvia's level, there was no need to bother her with probing. Furthermore, the Hassans were incredibly obedient, not questioning Jiang You's instructions. As for why Jingmi wasn't brought in, it was because Jiang You hadn't yet planned to finish Luvia off.

Dozens of shadows rushed out from behind Jiang You, and the sharp blades reflected the light from the chandelier above his head with cold rays.

"This, this is not right!"

After Illya was shot down, Ruby temporarily took over the job of making fun of her.

"It's illegal to attack while transformed! It's totally against the rules!"

It's a pity that even though the interruption was unsportsmanlike, the magical girl's transformation was still successfully completed. Almost all the Hassans were knocked away by the flow of magic power. Baimao's combat effectiveness is really worrying. It's better not to let her do combat work in the future.

"Is this all you can do?"

Luvia successfully completed the transformation and even got into position. Her adult body combined with the magical girl's outfit really gave her a youthful look.

"Sir Jiang You, we have already made contact with her. Our Noble Phantasm is ready to activate at any time. Do you want to get rid of her?"

Cursed Wrist stood beside Jiang You, and his devil-like wrist had been freed. As long as Jiang You gave the order, Luvia's heart would be crushed by her.

"No, we're not here to kill anyone."

Jiang You had already figured out that the magical girl's transformation wasn't truly invincible; it was just that Jewel used the magic of the parallel world to create a temporary shield, similar to a high-powered magic release. Summoning powerful servants could still be interrupted.

"You guys should step back first. I'll invite an outsider who can convince her."

In order to ensure that Luvia would not have any objections, Jiang You decided to summon his strongest fighting force besides Tiamat and Erelei.

"Yao Lan, I'll leave her to you!"

There is no need to say much about the strength of the Fairy Knights. Their strength is one level higher than the original Knights of the Round Table. Facing an opponent like Luvia, it only takes a moment to end the battle.

"Just capture her alive, don't kill her."

The petite knight didn't ask any questions and charged directly in the direction Jiang You pointed.

"Luvia! Get out of the way! This magical reaction is Albion! This child and Albion are of the same origin... But how is this possible!"

The Clock Tower was built on Albion's remains, and Sapphire was all too familiar with this kind of magic. However, feeling this magic from a young girl was almost unbelievable. Could she be Albion?

"Albion? The dragon that failed to return to the Inner Sea?"

Luvia was well-versed in the history of magic, and Sapphire's strict personality meant no jokes. A cold sweat broke out on her. She had assumed Jiang You was just a Servant summoner who summoned Assassins, and the ones he summoned were usually third-rate, but she hadn't expected such a heavyweight to suddenly appear. She quickly constructed a magic shield and prepared to intercept Yaolan with a magic bullet, but it was too late. In a split second, she saw Yaolan almost touching her face.

Two fists, no bigger than Rin's chest, struck Luvia. She had no time to conjure up any magic and could only block with her sapphire. The blow bent her wand and sent Luvia flying like a cannonball.

In a flash, Luvia thought of a countermeasure. The name Yaolan could not reveal much information. The opponent's decoration was more like a knight, and he should be very good at close combat. So she could use this opportunity to increase the distance. The room restricted her flying ability too much.

The idea was good, but the reality was completely different. Just as Luvia was about to burst through the window and fly out, Yaolan had already dodged behind her. Another punch aimed at Luvia's spine, Yaolan restrained a considerable amount of power in this blow, hoping to incapacitate Luvia with just one blow.

"It's too late..."

This series of movements lasted less than half a second. Luvia's reaction alone was exhausting. Given the sheer disparity in power, she couldn't even turn around and took the blow head-on. The attack, exceeding her threshold, knocked her out of her magical girl state, and the sapphire fell to the side.

"The victory was decided using the magician's method. Now you should be convinced, right?"

Jiang You picked up the sapphire wand and pretended to look at it. Apart from the exquisite workmanship, it was no different from a toy. As a magic idiot, he couldn't see anything special about it.

"Even if Mr. Baoshi asks you about it, you can tell him that his skills are inferior to his. If that doesn't work, tell him to come to me."

Since I'm a player myself, there's no need to worry about Gem Lord noticing anything wrong. Even if he does, so what? The worst that can happen is I'll just beat him up!

Chapter 368 If we continue with this topic, something big will happen.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Luvia stood up despite the severe pain in her back and stopped Jiang You who was about to leave after mentioning Illya.

"Why, are you still not convinced?"

Jiang You looked at the stubborn Luvia with admiration. He began to understand why the villains allowed the protagonist to provoke them over and over again. Their struggles were truly eye-catching, and even more worthy of being defeated once more.

"Then let's be more traditional and decide between life and death!"

Yao Lan suddenly drew her sword. She just did whatever Jiang You said and had no personal will at all.

"No, Yaolan, calm down. I was just kidding."

If Jiang You spoke any slower, Luvia would turn into Ruth. This also caused the villain image he created to collapse instantly, and the role play could no longer continue. "Okay, if you have anything else to say, you should be able to see that the gap between us is no longer a dimension. No matter how stubborn you are, you have to understand the current situation."

"You have to leave a contact method, otherwise how can I find you?"

Luvia rolled her eyes. She could tell Jiang You's mindset was different from that of a traditional magician; he was simply a powerful entertainer. The sapphire's theft was a fait accompli, but Gem Master still needed an explanation.

"I don't seem to have a base in this world."

The truth Jiang You said didn't sound so simple to Luvia. What normal magician or heroic spirit would roam the world on their own initiative? Is the Second Law some kind of commonplace thing? "Let me put it this way. I won't take the ruby ​​with me. Just look for Illya when you need it. She's probably the person I know best here."

"No matter which world you are in, you are the most familiar person, right?"

When Jiang You was talking to Illya over there, Ruby heard it all clearly.

"Isn't this the same as having Illya as your agent? Having an elementary school student as your agent will strengthen your connection with Illya. Are you actually here to collect Illyas?"

"If you say that, I can't pretend nothing happened."

Once something is revealed, there's no way to smooth it over. This game is so real, it's causing him to develop unnecessary emotions beyond just playing cards. Once a desire is ignited, it's not easily extinguished.

"Your eyes are a little scary..."

Even a ruby ​​would give in. It could see that Jiang You was serious.

"To be precise, it's not just Illya who's being collected."

Jiang You answered, saying this game was too real. He'd been feeling lost lately, constantly needing to check if he was still in the game. Luckily, his real home was small and cozy, otherwise he'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference. Rather than explaining it to Ruby, he was saying to himself, "To me, the entire world is a giant card game. I want to see everything, encounter it, fight it, and finally collect it."

"Is it really okay for a good scumbag to speak like this?"

Ruby swallowed, if that was even a function.

"You, a perverted wand, are overthinking things. I don't have to have that kind of relationship with everyone. At least I am trying to fulfill their wishes. There are many ways to gather people around me."

While discussing these matters, Jiang You flipped through his emails. He had long felt that some of the designs didn't quite fit the game's logic. While having privileges in online game novels was a delight, in reality, if the game planner didn't behave properly, they'd be fired.

Although it seems that Konami doesn't have such a thing.

Some things can indeed be covered up with tests, but no matter how outrageous such things are, there should be a framework. And if you always make up for it at the critical moment, isn’t it a bit too coincidental?

"……What happened?"

Seeing Jiang You suddenly start to daydream, it inexplicably felt that something big was about to happen, and if it wasn't handled properly, the world would be destroyed, which made it nervous.

Jiang You's wandering thoughts were brought back to a halt. He scratched his head, suspecting he was being a bit overly self-aware. Gaming technology was advancing so rapidly that even a few years ago, the device hadn't been fully infiltrated. Dog K also had a lot of idiotic operations. Ninety percent of the linked cards wouldn't be in the main house, so not being able to collect them all shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, who hasn't fantasized about being the chosen one, the one who could save the world?

"I just thought of some random things. I'll verify them when I have time. They have nothing to do with this. Where were we just now?"

The real world is not without strange places. The game anchor named BB seems to be still active. It is strange that she has not been sued. The high degree of restoration is also strange. You can try to communicate with her.

"...Nothing."

Ruby's intuition told it to avoid the topic, although it didn't know where the intuition came from as a magic gift.

"Anyway, I've agreed to Illya's terms as your agent. Seriously, how much does this girl love her brother? She looks like she has no hope in life. There are so many things in life to look forward to. Let me teach her the joys of girlhood!"

Sapphire's magic bullet blasted Ruby away: "Sister, please stop saying things that could lead to misunderstandings."

"Misunderstanding? This is not a misunderstanding at all, this is my true... woowawawawawawa!"

Ruby's words were lost in its own screams.

Seeing the two wands fighting, Jiang You had no way to continue the previous topic. Jiang You picked up Illya, who was unable to move.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. I'll also help with the job referral card issue, so don't worry about your missions. Just enjoy your campus life."

"Can you please satisfy my curiosity one last time?"

Luvia looked at Yaolan. This creature didn't seem like a Servant, but more like a living being. But how could a fantasy creature of this level appear in modern times? "Is she really Albion?"

"Replacement guaranteed."

Jiang You rubbed Yao Lan's head, but Yao Lan didn't react. This was why Jiang You didn't like using dark games to force others to follow him. There was no interaction at all.

"To be precise, it's a part of Albion. Since you know about parallel worlds, you should know that anything can happen. Maybe in another world, Rin's sister was also adopted into your family?"

"Rin's sister?"

Luvia knew about the Tohsaka family, but she didn't intend to discuss it in depth. "Is it part of Albion? Wouldn't that mean there are many people like her?"

"not at all."

Yaolan's appearance was a surprise. I wonder if if Aurora could get a few more pieces, they would form the Yaolan Ranger Team. "She is the only one."

"Is that so... That must be quite lonely."

Luvia showed a sympathetic look. Although she and Toosaka Rin did not get along, every time they talked about Toosaka Rin's sister, Toosaka Rin would show a very depressed expression, which made it impossible for her to continue to argue.

“It would be nice to have family.”

Yaolan reacted to Luvia for the first time: "Family...same clan?"

Chapter 369: What you hear is the BGM of the animal world.

When Jiang You returned to the Emiya household with Illya in his arms, Sera, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, had been waiting for a long time. As the true guardian of Emiya Kiritsugu and his wife when they were away, she was naturally very concerned about Illya. She even had to be on guard against Illya's adopted brother, Emiya Shirou, who lived with them, let alone Jiang You, a stranger.

Jiang You had previously thought Sera was too much trouble, and Illya didn't want to reveal her identity as a magical girl, so Jiang You didn't bring them along. This resulted in Sera, who was tied up like a dumpling by Jiang You, struggling and twisting like a bug.

In her opinion, Jiang You was clearly interested in Illya. His intimate actions were very natural, and it was obviously not the first time he had done so. Taking Illya away alone this time was nothing at all. Before they discovered it, they had no idea how far it had developed.

"What did you do to Illya!?"

Because it was not very elegant to carry Illya, and Illya was not very comfortable, Jiang You still adopted the princess-carrying method. So, what Sera saw was Illya with her head folded, as if she had been dead for a long time.

"She is socially dead..."

Jiang You shook Illya, who was pretending to be a corpse, and found that even then, Illya didn't react at all. Jiang You leaned close to her ear and whispered, "If you continue to pretend to be dead, I will tell them all those strange fantasies you have about your brother. What do you think they will think of you?"

"Alas!!!"

Illya was too thin-skinned. She jumped up almost instantly and said, "No! That kind of thing is not allowed."

"Even now, you're still unwilling to give up this forbidden love?"

"I won't give up!"

It is almost impossible to make people forget their first love. Illya refused without a second thought, "Shirou-nii is my sworn brother, right? As long as Kiritsugu breaks off the father-son relationship with him, Illya still has a chance!"

"Are you planning to turn your brother into an orphan? Does your brother know what you are saying?"

Illya's words made Jiang You laugh, "But it doesn't matter, I will make you give up."

"?"

Illya didn't understand what Jiang You meant by this. She thought Jiang You simply disagreed with her on the moral (?) side of things.

"What the hell are you talking about."

Seeing that Illya was still so energetic, Sera felt relieved. "Also, where did you take Illya just now?"

Jiang You didn't intend to answer this question. He was rather impressed by how Sera had remained true to herself despite the huge gap in power. He left it to Illya to figure out how to explain it, though Jiang You felt it wouldn't be a big deal if Illya revealed her magical girl identity. There were still magicians in this world, and these two maids were specially created homunculus.

"Then I'll leave first and contact you later."

The top priority now is to deliver the sapphire wand to Miyu. Although the child is not crying or making a fuss, she is definitely still worried about her brother. This plot should be pushed aside as soon as possible to avoid letting a little girl rule the world for eternity. This kind of thing can be done by Emperor Huang Tian once.

"Huh? How can I contact you?"

Before Illya could even speak, Sera pulled her into her arms, blocking Jiang Youde's view like a child. It's not that she couldn't understand the situation; anyone would be hostile if a stranger suddenly took their child away.

Jiang You switched the script. Nothing strange happened during this teleportation. He successfully returned to the Einzbern castle. Sera there immediately welcomed him, preparing a welcome snack. Unlike Sera from the Moyi world, this Sera was more aloof and reserved. While she had a bit more popularity than her other sisters, she was still noticeably different from a normal person.

"Thank you for your hard work, waiting here for me."

Jiang You's heart softened. Even if it was really an NPC, the emotional value it provided was sufficient, and he should respond.

"No need to bother, go and rest first."

"This is my duty, Master."
