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

Just like Kiritsugu said, Jiang You is an ordinary person who cannot restrain his sympathy. In reality, he often gets angry because of the injustice he sees and wants to do something to the unfortunate people, but due to the limitations of his own strength and financial resources, he can only express his support in his heart.

Now he is not bound by the rules in the game. He doesn't care about the magician's code - not to mention that he is not a magician at all.

"It just so happens that this Holy Grail War is too ordinary."

Jiang You and Medea went to check several major spiritual veins and were almost certain that no messy "beasts" would be born to disrupt the situation this time.

"Why don't I just use you as tickets and play a game with Fuyuki City as my playground?"

"I don't think those magicians would refuse a Soul Crystal as a prize. Of course, as long as you don't die, you still have a chance to get the reward."

Jiang You released his hand from the middle-aged man, patted his head to calm his almost-bursting heart, and then captured him into the effective range of his treasure.

"Bai Mao, kidnap the councillor and then prepare to attack the TV station. As the organizer, we naturally have to inform the entire Fuyuki City of this news."

Jiang You became happy. It was a very novel experience to plan a large-scale event in the game by himself.

"Medea, set up a barrier around Fuyuki City. It doesn't need to be too restrictive, just preventing these 14 people from leaving is enough."

Jiang You gestured to Baimao to hand the marked map to Medea.

"You really do whatever you want."

Medea, completely treated as a tool, complained, but with her villainous potential, she also found some amusement in Jiang You's purpose. She took the map from Baimao and said, "Don't worry, it's just a simple matter of moving my fingers."

"Next..."

Suddenly, a red flash passed before Jiang You's eyes - if Jiang You hadn't inexplicably sensed the danger and dodged backwards, this flash would have been enough to pierce his head.

Of course, you won't really be penetrated, but you will suddenly be pulled into a duel.

"Who?"

Seeing the red spear nailed on the wall, Baimao and Medea both entered combat mode. Because they were not normally summoned servants, they would not trigger the effect of Jiang You's Noble Phantasm.

"You actually dodged it? Judging from your posture, you clearly have no combat experience at all."

The Servant with short blue hair tied in pigtails and wearing a blue tights squatted on the windowsill. The red spear responded to his call as if it were a living thing and flew back into his hand.

"Black Castrt, rules are rules, and breaking them casually is not a good habit. My Master is very unhappy, so could you please leave now?"

Cu Chulainn, ready to attack, released his undisguised murderous intent towards Jiang You.

"Cú Chulainn, Kotomine Kirei can't help it after all."

Jiang You recognized the identity of the visitor at a glance, the "Son of Light" of Ireland - Cu Chulainn.

If nothing unexpected happens, his Master is Kotomine Kirei in this timeline.

"……Who is that?"

But Cuchulainn gave an unexpected answer.

77

Seventy-seven: Whatever trump card you have, I have the same trump card.

"Being too famous does bring its own troubles, after all. Hiding my identity is really too difficult for me."

Cú Chulainn scratched the back of his neck in annoyance. "Then return the favor, Caster. At least tell me your name, so I don't end up wondering which heroic spirit fell at my hands."

"Jiang You."

Jiang You stated his name casually, "You don't know Kotomine Kirei, or did he not allow you to tell him?"

"Who is that?"

Of course, Cu Chulainn could not find the heroic spirit corresponding to Jiang You's name.

"I really don't know your name. As for Kotomine Kirei, why should I know him?"

"That is the overseer of this Holy Grail War from the Church."

A beautiful lady in a suit with short burgundy hair appeared in front of everyone with steady steps.

"He is a serious, mature and reliable former practitioner."

"Excuse me, Caster who calls himself Jiang You, you have overstepped your bounds. As the executor, I have an obligation to defeat you here!"

The beautiful woman in a suit named Bazette shed her obstructive coat, clad only in a white shirt, and assumed a fighting stance. The runes on her limbs began to activate due to the infusion of magical energy. At this time, she still held a strong liking for Kotomine Kirei. Besides work, she was also concerned that Jiang You might harm Kotomine Kirei.

"My Master, please leave this matter to me."

As a descendant of the Knights of the Red Branch, Cu Chulainn has a natural liking for Bazette. Although he affirms Bazette's strength, he does not want her to be involved in a battle with heroic spirits, as this is too dangerous.

"Just deal with his Master. Caster won't be my match if he leaves his position."

"no."

Bazette shook her head. The experience she gained from her years of work made her very sensitive to the flow of magic. "His Master is right here!"

"This place is either Assassin or Caster. Where did the Master come from?"

Cu Chulainn looked around and made sure that this was the only room where there were still living things.

"In the box."

Bazette pointed with her chin at the silver-white suitcase in Jiang You's hand. She could feel the magical reaction from it. The magic was released very roughly, without any intention of hiding it. She just wanted others to see that the magic was flowing towards Jiang You's spiritual base.

"He stuffed the Master into this box and used it as a mobile battery."

"How can one person fit into such a small box?"

Cu Chulainn roughly estimated the size of the box below. Even a child of four or five years old could not fit in it. Since Atram and Bazette both came from the Clock Tower, Cu Chulainn knew the general situation. He thought about it for a while and felt creepy.

"What a nasty guy."

"You attacked your Master as soon as you appeared, right?"

Cu Chulainn's name means "the fierce dog of Culan," hence his nickname, "Big Dog." He himself is a loyal dog who always keeps his word. For Jiang You, someone who had betrayed his Master, he found the most distasteful to him, and he made no secret of his dislike for him.

"I'll kill guys like you! Master, just hold this guy who looks like Caster and Assassin back. This Caster has no combat experience at all. I can finish him off in one minute!"

"Honestly, I don't want to start a war with you right now. After all, if the number of contestants decreases before the start of the competition, I will be very distressed."

Jiang You looked at Bazette. Because Atram had summoned Jiang You, he didn't have time to go to the church to confide in Kotomine Kirei, so he didn't contact Bazette to deal with his servant's letters privately, and Kotomine Kirei would not have the idea of ​​using the letters to seize control of Lancer.

"And Miss Bazette, you should thank me, otherwise Kotomine Kirei would have chopped off your little hand."

"Stop sowing discord here!"

Bazette had been helped by Kotomine Kirei four times since six years ago. The two had become close friends, assisting each other without the knowledge of the organization. Bazette had long respected Kotomine Kirei's resilience and gradually developed a fondness for him.

Bazette was determined to keep Jiang You here, so that he would never again cause trouble for the Church or Kotomine Kirei. He launched a swift punch at Medea, who was trying to distance herself. The speed was so fast that Medea had no time to react, and even with Baimao's strength, he was unable to stop her.

"Is this a girl's heart?"

Looking at Bazett, whose NP suddenly increased to 10, Jiang You immediately called out his hidden trump card.

"Berserker! Stop her!"

The heavy desk was transformed into a Noble Phantasm by the 'Knight of Immortality and Bare Hands'. Lancelot threw it with such force that it broke through the wall and smashed into Bazette.

The projectile was thrown even faster, and Bazette had no time to retract his strength, so he had to rush to defend himself and use the protection of the runes to take the blow.

"There's an ambush!?"

Cu Chulainn looked at the black-armored knight who had suddenly burst onto the battlefield, and only then did he feel a hint of pressure. In his eyes, Jiang You, Medea, and Bai Mao were no match for him. Lancelot exuded the dangerous aura of a warrior.

"Strange guy, how can he get help from so many servants with different styles at the same time? There are even duplicate job descriptions."

Cu Chulainn could roughly feel Lancelot's strength and naturally would not let Bazette stop him, so he immediately changed his tactics.

"Master, I leave Caster to you! Don't die!"

Bazette nodded in agreement, and the two of them exchanged positions with a tacit step.

The red magic spear and the black magic sword collided with each other, and the waves generated by the collision knocked the tied middle-aged man unconscious.

The two Hundred Faces tried to restrain Bazette's movements, but were easily knocked down. Medea took the opportunity to fly out of the window, opened her cloak, and used this opportunity to release several streams of magic.

Bazette naturally did not dare to take the magic attacks from the God-era magician head-on. She rolled left and right, looking for gaps in the magic, and narrowly avoided all the attacks.

"You got Fooled!"

Medea smiled triumphantly. The gap she had left was a deliberate attempt to allow Bazett to move to the designated location. A binding spell, immobilizing, was activated, its powerful force pinning Bazett to the spot.

"Then I'll accept Lancer's Command Seal. Although it was originally intended for that bastard."

Medea raised her own Noble Phantasm, Wanfu Biying Pojie, intending to sever the Command Spell connection between Cu Chulainn and Bazette, and then seize it herself.

Just as Medea raised the Wanfu Biying Pojie and stabbed it towards Bazette, a spherical object emerged behind Bazette and gradually transformed into the shape of a sword.

"Reverse Light Sword! Reverse cause and effect!"

He activated it in response to the enemy's "ace card." He twisted cause and effect, rewriting his own attack into a Noble Phantasm that would absolutely arrive first.

Then Jianfeng appeared beside Jiang You and stabbed him in the kidney.

Medea: "?"

Jiang You: “?”

Baz: "?"

78

Chapter 78: When my master and I join forces, we are invincible!

"No, I didn't hit you, right? Why did you stab me?!"

The effect of the Backlight Sword in reversing the law of causality was still ineffective before the duel rules. Jiang You received Bazette's duel invitation, and the hit judgments of both parties were blocked by the rules, so Wan Fu's plan to break the rules naturally failed.

"Is this your Noble Phantasm?!"

This was the first time Bazette had seen her Noble Phantasm covered by another effect, which meant that Jiang You's Noble Phantasm had at least a level of causality that exceeded the level of the Backlight Sword. Only then did she notice the extra knowledge in her mind.

"So your Backlight Sword can handle all the effects outside of the text?"

After hearing what Bazette said, Jiang You realized that the Backlight Sword was a countermeasure to his own treasure. If he didn't deal with this thing next time, Bazette would probably activate the Backlight Sword for no reason and attack him at any time and any place.

Be careful when going to the toilet that someone might poke your kidneys!

"I was thinking of leaving the battle with you guys for later to complete the side quests, but it seems I can only play the dark game now!"

There was no other way, Jiang You could only use the Dark Game to restrict Bazette from using his Noble Phantasm on him.

"The Dark Game has begun, the duel begins!"

Jiangyou LP 4000.

Bazett LP 4000.

"Dark Game!?"

Bazette was shocked by the knowledge in her mind. She felt that she was a little reckless. "Are you planning to turn me into Atram too?"

"That's not the case. Although a magician's moral basin is generally hundreds of meters below the sea level, I'm not that extreme."

Although Jiang You didn't know much about Bazette, referring to the performance of the magical girl Illya, she was a special case among magicians, one that was much above the altitude line.

"Although I will suffer some damage, my goal is simply to prevent you from using your Noble Phantasm against me."

Speaking of which, most of the famous magicians who appear in the Fate series are exceptions. Their morals are higher than each other, but those small fry who regard human lives as nothing are even more despicable than each other.

Even prominent villains usually have some unfulfilled wishes.

"So, Miss Bazett, do you want to add more?"

The Dark Game had already begun, and both sides could make corresponding demands. Jiang You also hoped that the event would be more lively, so he wouldn't let her withdraw directly. The first round was all about immersion.

Bazette did think about letting Jiang You exit the game directly. He had great confidence in Cu Chulainn's deck because Cu Chulainn's deck contained the legendary Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows and not many servants could be her match.

But Jiang You's performance made her undecided. The person who possessed this kind of treasure that exceeded the causal rate was probably not an unknown person. He must not have told the truth to Cu Chulainn.

"No need to raise the stakes. If you lose, stop killing ordinary people immediately!"

"You call this an ordinary person?"

Jiang You kicked the middle-aged man who was pushed back by the aftermath of the battle. "Since he supplies magicians, he's considered a member of the other world, right? Or do you also think it's normal to wantonly sell and dismember ordinary people as consumables?"

Only then did Bazette realize the reason behind Jiang You's behavior. Although she was a magician, she still had a relatively normal sense of right and wrong. She did understand Jiang You's anger, but as a magician, she also had the responsibility to maintain the "secret": "But making this a big deal..."

"'Mysterious' right?"
