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

Suddenly, a sound of someone falling to the ground was heard from the dark corner.

"?"

Everyone was alert, and Medea even opened her cloak, revealing the magic circle engraved on it.

"Don't take it too seriously. It's just that someone was shocked when they heard Illya didn't add the word 'mother'. As you know, there are many strange servants with all kinds of quirks."

Jiang You brought the topic back to the topic, "Think about it, what did you say before? Besides Minamoto no Raikou, who else has established a bond with you?"

"Who else? In theory, I'm quite familiar with several of Fuyuki's servants. Medusa and Medea should be no problem. Which one do you want me to transform into?"

Illya didn't understand what Jiang You meant, "Could it be Baimao? Or Tranquility?"

"Would you like to think about it again?"

Jiang You drew a card from the extra deck, held it down in his hand, and spoke mysteriously.

Since Jiang You wanted to play, Illya wouldn't refuse. She thought about it carefully. The card in Jiang You's hand didn't have any special effects, and a powerful Servant would put pressure on others even if it wasn't displayed, so it should be an ordinary Servant. However, Jiang You specifically asked her to guess it herself and reminded her of what he had said before, so it was obviously a special card.

Illya pondered for a long time, her thoughts flashing through her mind like lightning. The corners of her mouth gradually lifted. Jiang You had been keeping his casual words in his heart.

"This card is Caster, right?"

Illya pinched the card, but did not turn it over. Instead, she waited for Jiang You's response.

"Bingo."

They ran towards each other in both directions, and Jiang You solemnly handed the card to Illya's hand.

"Please treat me well, Master."

"You speak as if I can do anything. Jiang You, you are really capable. It's really exciting. Let me experience the world through your eyes."

Illya nodded, using the sapphire to complete her transformation. Unlike Moe, this magical girl's outfit didn't restrict her, allowing her to freely express herself. As long as Illya remained silent, she looked exactly like Moe, only in blue.

Moyi felt like she had been stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, which was sour and greasy. Is this what being in a relationship feels like?

However, when Illya turned the card over and read the words on it, her face darkened.

Chapter 389: The protagonist’s dream summoning effect.

[The (fake) Regent of the Fairy Kingdom]

Illya knew Jiang You couldn't possibly be a Servant from the Fairy Kingdom; he was clearly human, and the cards depicted past or future history. The sudden appearance of Jiang You's Hundred Faces revealed his actions' influence on his deck. So, without her knowledge, he'd secretly gone off to become regent elsewhere. Considering Yao Lan's full name is Fairy Knight Lancelot, Jiang You might be cheating.

But now Illya is in a good mood and doesn't intend to cause trouble for Jiang You. She can question Jiang You at the critical moment and make him feel ashamed.

Although Jiang You probably won't feel ashamed.

"let's start."

Without further ado, Illya activated Sapphire's Dream Summoning. The bond between Jiang You and Illya was undeniable; failure was inevitable. Soon, Illya completed the Dream Summoning. A beam of light, powerful enough to pierce the stars, rose from the ground, illuminating half the Earth like daylight. From afar, it looked like a slender spear of light piercing the Earth from the unseen depths of space.

This phenomenon was observed by almost everyone in the Eastern Hemisphere, and the world was in an uproar. Photos of it circulated like crazy online. Due to the sheer number of witnesses, the relevant organizations were unable to stop the spread of information and, as a result, all chose to play it safe.

An incident of this magnitude could not be suppressed unless the entire Eastern Hemisphere was wiped out. It wasn't that the magi of the Otherworld were worried about harming the harmony of nature, but rather that the effort and resources required were unimaginably enormous. Doing so would drain their entire fortunes.

The clergy of the Fuyuki Church watched the beam of light that pierced the night sky for dozens of seconds, and finally decided to pour a glass of expensive red wine and savor it carefully.

His initial thought was how much gas explosion would be needed to explain this incident. When he saw that things were getting worse, he gave up thinking about it. This was no longer a problem he could consider. It would be interesting to see how the top management would react.

“…”*7.

When the light faded, everyone stared in silence. They knew that this movement could not be concealed, and it would not be long before this location was surrounded by people.

"Now that things have come to this, let's move our position first."

Jiang You was not bothered by this matter, because he already had a record of five battles in Fuyuki City, and the three major magic associations couldn't do anything to him anyway. He just felt that being harassed endlessly was too troublesome.

The two kids nodded repeatedly, and the seven of them (actually eight) reached a consensus. The one who felt seriously guilty ran away in the dark.

This place, nestled in the woods on the slopes of Mount Enzo, is a sacred site belonging to the Matou family (the same place where Matou Sakura ambushed Old Bug during the Fifth War). It's practically impossible for anyone to be here at night, especially with the barrier in place to keep out unauthorized individuals, so naturally, no one would be here.

"I say, this is too big a commotion. Jiang You, are you some kind of super-heroic spirit that you can actually create such a big scene?"

Illya, who had been running wildly all the way, leaned against a tree trunk and gasped for breath. However, her curiosity prevented her from waiting any longer, and she breathlessly asked Jiang You a question. The others were either servants or had some strength, so they didn't feel tired at all.

"I am indeed a little special. I will explain it when necessary."

Jiang You changed the subject.

"Okay... You're so secretive. You didn't even tell the other me. Really?"

Mo Yi snorted, thinking that Jiang You just didn't want to say it.

"But did this dream summon fail? Why is there no change at all?"

Normally, after a dream summon, the servant will wear the combat equipment of the corresponding servant, just like a scaled-down Coser, but Illya's clothes are still the magical girl's outfit, without any change at all, but the special effects of the dream summon appeared in real life, so dazzling that the whole world saw it.

"No...it worked."

Illya felt her body and found that her whole body panel had been upgraded to C level, which was equivalent to Jiang You. Given her relationship with Jiang You, she could exert 100% of her strength. To prove her statement, Illya summoned Minamoto no Raikou.

The purple-haired Servant, who had been hiding in a tree, suddenly found herself in front of Illya. This feeling was all too familiar to her; Jiang You had summoned her many times in this way. But this time, it was Illya who summoned her.

"Raikou, now that you're here, there's no need to hide."

Seeing Minamoto no Raikou's tears, Illya knew that he was sad because he hadn't called her mother. She could only hold her hand to comfort Minamoto no Raikou. Sometimes she felt that Minamoto no Raikou was the one who needed care (on a psychological level).

Leaving Minamoto no Raikou aside, Illya looked at her deck. She'd initially considered summoning her mother, Irisviel, but after some thought, she decided against it. It was time for her to graduate from this world. She had a new family, and it was time to start her own life. She'd wait until she couldn't wait any longer before doing it, so she looked at the card she wanted to draw.

"And Emiya Kiritsugu..."

Illya summoned her father. Actually, Jiang You could do the same, but Kiritsugu was a bit troublesome and his fighting ability was average, so he never considered it.

Emiya Kiritsugu was currently maintaining his weapon when he suddenly found himself in the woods at night, surrounded by a large number of people. He instinctively rolled over to break free, but was kicked back by Illya.

"Ilia?"

Emiya Kiritsugu finally saw who it was and was about to say something, but was knocked down by Illya's punch.

Her hatred had faded somewhat, but after learning about the Emiya Kiritsugu of the Ma-I world, his behavior became even more appalling. A man who abandoned his family didn't deserve love; consider it the price he had to pay for his mother's kindness to her. So, Illya punched him and sent him back.

"..."

Moyi shrank back. Was she really that violent? But she also knew Illya's experience. She didn't want to acknowledge Emiya Kiritsugu as her father.

"This is Jiang You's ability. He can directly summon Servant cards with a deep connection."

Illya flipped through her deck. She couldn't summon any of Jintoki's people. There were bonds, but not many.

"But you can only use your own deck. Jiang You's card won't appear, so the strength of Jiang You's card is actually related to the summoner himself."

Then Illya moved closer to Jiang You, her eyes almost touching his face.

"Then, my Servant, tell me, why are you not in my deck? I can't summon you."

Chapter 390: The loopholes in the world.

"Maybe... the bond is not strong enough?"

To be honest, Jiang You felt that his relationship with Illya was much better than Yao Cui's, but Yao Cui had done something big on his own, so he had his own card.

"The bond isn't enough, is it?"

Illya grabbed Jiang You's cheeks and began to rub them vigorously. She suddenly narrowed her eyes at Jiang You and said, "Just wait for me!"

As Jiang You was being ravaged, he pondered this carefully and concluded that it was probably due to the blank card. He thought that Fuyuki, now in the fifth war, likely met the criteria for being plucked directly from history. This would allow for a [Duel City - Fuyuki]-themed deck, and Illya, the first Duel King, would likely be the core of this deck.

However, Fuyuki during the Fifth War was not facing a world-destroying crisis, nor would it be restored and destroyed by the restraining force. It was somewhat unreasonable to remove this city. Jiang You, having found the reason, decided to explain it to Illya when the time came.

"Is this the only effect? ​​Is this the only ability Jiang You has?"

Seeing Illya stop, Moyi also started asking questions out of curiosity. In fact, everyone present was quite curious about Jiang You's ability. Medea had a general understanding of it, while Bai Qiangdai and Miyu were just not willing to speak up due to their personalities.

"Let me take a look."

Illya did the same. She felt the information recorded in her spiritual base and said, "There seems to be one more. Let me try it."

Having said that, Illya suddenly disappeared.

"...?"

Everyone was puzzled. What kind of ability was this? Was it a breath blocking ability? It looked like it was quite high-level, yet it could disappear right before their noses without any warning.

"This is probably Jiang You's ability to jump through world lines."

Ruby immediately felt that she saw the shadow of the Second Law, "So this Illya is probably jumping to the timeline of another world now."

"...!"

Jiang You was actually the most surprised, because he had no parallel world jumping ability at all; it was just a script switching function. Why could Illya do it too? "I'll go find her. The time is uncertain, so you guys should go back and rest first."

"I can help too!"

Mo Yi saw that Jiang You suddenly became very anxious and thought that something big had happened, although this matter was also quite big for Jiang You.

"Fool Illya, do you know how many parallel world lines there are in this world? This is not something you can joke about. Once you get lost, returning to your original world is almost like finding a needle in a haystack. Jiang You is experienced, so don't mess with him!"

"...It's not that exaggerated. In fact, I can directly pull Illya back. Just like I summon a Servant."

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Jiang You immediately explained. Indeed, anything involving the timeline was no small matter, but to him, it wasn't a big deal at all.

"I just want to make sure of something."

"Is that so?"

Moyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then discovered something even more surprising.

"Even living people can be summoned in this way!?"

"Don't make us sound like dead people..."

Jiang You felt that Moyi's rants were sometimes quite poignant. Was this the true strength of a rant character? "Anyway, don't worry. I'm going to find Illya first. See you tomorrow if you need anything. Remember to prepare for the battle with Caster and Saber... well, actually, prepare for the battle with Lancer. Meet at the same place tomorrow!"

Jiang You also exited the script after saying that. He wanted to see where Illya would appear.

"Can't you really take a day off?"

The daily battles made Moyi feel sore in his back and waist, and he even dodged Medusa's chain sword in his dreams.

"What a bad guy! If I have the chance, I will make him so tired that he can't even stand up straight."

"Although you said something serious, Illya, that's not what we should pay attention to right now."

Ruby pointed around with her wings.

"Jiang You forgot to send the heroic spirits back."

"Eh?"

"And because of Jiang You's special summon."

Medea walked up to Illya and explained, "We can't enter the spirit state. In other words, I'll leave our shelter to you, little Illya of this world."

When Jiang You returned to Mirror Lake where the script selection interface was, he indeed saw Illya looking around helplessly. After seeing that there was suddenly a person next to her, Illya was startled at first, and then threw herself into Jiang You's arms carefully.

This world was truly a bit too unique. Jiang You had originally thought it was just an options interface, and hadn't put much thought into the UI during the beta test. Now it seemed like this was also a scenario-like world. It was only natural that Illya felt uneasy about such a vast and lonely world.

Before that, Jiang You wanted to confirm Illya's authenticity. He squatted down, pinched Illya's cheek, and touched her body. The touch was correct. It seemed that Illya had really come here, this scenario selection page. No, it should be called the world now.

Because the action was too intimate, Illya blushed: "There is indeed no one else here, but please let me make some preparations..."

"No, I don't mean that. Not yet, at least. And Sapphire's still here watching."

Referring to the situation of Yao Cui, Jiang You will be punished for crossing the line.

"..."

Sapphire silently left Illya's side.

"Actually, you can completely ignore me. After all, I'm just a wand. I have no idea what humans would do... Hahahaha."

This was of course a lie. If it didn't understand, it wouldn't have punished its sister when she was going crazy. However, it felt that the two of them were in love with each other, so there was no need for it to ruin the atmosphere.

Illya's face was so red that she almost became red. She forgot that there was a talking wand beside her, and now all the embarrassing words she had just said were heard.

"Sorry for the slight delay. I hope you weren't scared."

Jiang You didn't continue the topic. He was actually a bit confused right now, wondering what this incident could prove. But it could also be considered as an over-consciousness.
