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

"[Eurielle]'s effect can be activated by adding this card to your hand by any means other than drawing a card. Special Summon this card! Born into the world as the perfect [Idol] and [Ideal Girl], [Eurielle]!"

A pink arrow representing love fell on the field, and a smaller goddess who looked exactly like Stheno blossomed in the pink light.

【Eurielie】

Archer 3 stars, 1200 attack power.

"Stheno, it's exciting that you're here too!"

Euryale held Stheno's hand, and the two of them pressed tightly together.

"Eurielle, you're still as lovely as ever. I love you all the time... Of course, I love you too, Medusa. Don't be jealous. Do you want to come with us? Let the sisters love you well." Stheno also hugged Eurielle, whispering softly. Like reflections in a mirror, the two could not be easily distinguished.

"elder sister!"

Medusa blushed. She had come here to duel, but the current situation was somewhat difficult for her to speak.

"Don't worry too much, Medusa."

Yurielle smiled, her light purple eyes full of laughter.

"...Anyway, when my sister [Eurielle]'s] effect is Special Summoned, add a [Gorgon] Spell Card from your deck to your hand."

"Next, my Noble Phantasm, [Reins of the Knight]! Send a [Medusa] from your hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a [Pegasus] from your Deck!"

A galloping meteor streaked across the sky and landed on the ground. A pure white horse with wings neighed towards the sky.

Pegasus

Rider 6 stars, 2000 attack power.

"The Pegasus born from your blood?"

Red A looked at Pegasus and tilted his head.

"Then Chrysaor should have it too, right?"

"The Heroic Spirit is a past, not a complete one."

Medusa's face looked a little ugly. There were still many cards related to her death in her deck. In the legend, she was not a hero to be sung, but a monster to be conquered.

"But it's still enough to defeat you, a high school student who wants to be a partner of justice!"

"No, I'm an adult."

Red A spread his hands, suggesting that Emiya Shirou's personal behavior should not be taken personally. "I gave up that dream a long time ago. I'm a pragmatist now."

"I hope what you said is true."

Medusa placed two cards in the backfield, ending her turn.

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

Red A looked at the cards in his hand and smiled maliciously.

"Since you know that my Master and I are the same person, you naturally know that he should also be on my card, right?"

Red A picked up a card and shook it back and forth, his smile even harder than AK's. "If I summon him directly, even if you beat me, you won't be able to hide, right?"

"!!!"

Chapter 104: Your organization is probably not a winery.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Red A is holding the card in his hand, with an expression that looks extremely annoying.

"Assassin! Do you hear me? Go and inform Sakura! I'll try to hold him back!"

Medusa thought to herself that if she was really summoned, she could only try her best to keep Shirou Emiya on the scene. This way, she could at least slow down the spread of the news and give Sakura time to prepare.

All the Hundred Faces knew about Sakura Matou's situation. They had met each other in the timeline ten years ago. One of the Hundred Faces immediately put down the tools in his hand and ran out.

"Forget it. With Baimao's speed, it would be over by the time we get there."

Red A continued to provoke Medusa, "Why don't you summon Matou Sakura over here, and then send her back? That way it will be faster."

"You'll let Sakura go so easily?"

Medusa didn't believe that Red A would be so kind.

"Who knows? Well, I'm going to start. First, I activate the Spell Card [Gallows, Crowned with the Priestly Sinner] and send a Servant of 4 stars or lower from my Deck to the Graveyard. The one I'm going to send to the Graveyard is [Emiya Kiritsugu]! Then I'll add another [Emiya] to my hand."

"Not only that, because of the effect of [Emiya Kiritsugu], it was sent to the graveyard and added an [Origin Bullet] from the deck to the hand!"

Red Ace's hand reached 7 cards. "I don't know the effects of your cards, but since [Pegasus] is the highest-star card, it's a good idea to deal with it first!"

"[Origin Bullet] effect! Negate the effect of [Pegasus] and destroy it!"

The sound of the firing pin came from behind Pegasus, directly opening a bloody hole in the neck of the Pegasus. Amidst Pegasus's wails, it was sent to the grave.

"Then, next, it's the normal flow. Use the effect of [Justice Messenger] to Special Summon [Emiya Kiritsugu] from the Graveyard!"

【Emiya Kiritsugu】Attack power 1600.

"I'm somewhat used to this situation, but isn't the Caster Holy Grail War over already...?"

When Emiya Kiritsugu opened his eyes, he realized that the people around him were not familiar Servants. He subconsciously took out the pistol he carried with him.

"Is this, Yuanzang Mountain?"

Emiya Kiritsugu was very familiar with the terrain here. After all, a battle to save the world had taken place here not long ago. This was the most glorious moment of his life, and he would never forget it.

"Kiritsugu-sama."

Kiritsugu was once Jiang You's Master, after all, and their relationship was quite good. Baimao didn't hesitate to use honorifics. He explained, "This is the timeline ten years later, the same timeline as Miss Illya in your deck."

"I have a general idea of ​​it."

Kiritsugu Emiya lit a cigarette. Jiang You asked Irisviel to supervise Kiritsugu and not let him smoke, saying that it was bad for little Illya's health. Because of Jiang You's status in the Einzbern family, Irisviel actually did it strictly, and Kiritsugu Emiya's status in the family was reduced.

"So why was it this Servant who summoned me, and not Ilya?"

"Hello, foster father, I am the Heroic Spirit Emiya."

During this time, Red A has completely recalled his past as Emiya Shirou from his lengthy memories, and he also remembered the existence of Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Adoptive father... Emiya...?"

Emiya Kiritsugu heard Jiang You talk about what would happen ten years later if events unfolded normally. "So you're the Emiya Shirou that Ilya and that guy were talking about? What on earth did you do to become a Servant?"

"That guy's called Jiang You, right?"

Because of the existence of Ilya and Tohsaka Tokiomi, Jiang You had long lost his job title.

"Medusa, is the owner of this special treasure called Jiang You? Although the name is not very nice, remember to say thank you to him."

"Eurielie, you can't say that. Heroes like this deserve to be rewarded."

"You're right, Stheno. I was a bit rude. Medusa, please treat me well."

Medusa looked at the card in her hand and thought, if this effect was also activated, the sisters probably wouldn't say that.

"In reality, I am just a nameless Servant. Having signed a contract with the Suppressing Power, I have the qualifications to become a Heroic Spirit. However, my deeds will not allow me to leave a name."

Shirou Emiya looked at his adoptive father. He had once taken his anger out on him because he had inherited his wishes, but he had long since let it go.

"I've always been curious about one thing: it seems like every card related to your timeline highly praises Jiang You. Why is that? Is it simply because he successfully seized the Holy Grail?"

"Is this what you're curious about?"

Emiya Kiritsugu stared at Red A. Although his appearance was different, he still saw some of his own shadow in Red A. "Is it convenient to talk here?"

"I wanted to ask from the beginning, why didn't you just summon Emiya Shirou?"

Seeing the two people's eyes turned to her, Medusa finally raised the question in her heart. Red A had been emphasizing that he wanted to spread the news of Medusa and Matou Sakura's betrayal, but why was he now chatting leisurely?

"you guess."

Red A's personality is very different from Emiya Shirou's, and he is indeed quite annoying when he is relaxed. "Silly sister, don't you see it yet?"

Yurielle's smile narrowed her eyes into crescents. "He actually didn't plan to report it because he also planned to betray."

"what?"

Medusa's mind was completely confused. "Then why did he want to fight?"

"First of all, you were the one who made the first move."

Red A shook his head, looking helpless.

"Secondly, I have to find a reason to summon Emiya Kiritsugu without being broadcast live. I don't have any communication channels with Assassin, and it would be bad if I were discovered. Anyway, thank you Miss Medusa for the opportunity to duel. Kiritsugu, please continue."

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Baimao who was carrying a camera. This peculiar style of painting was definitely not something a normal person could come up with. He thought to himself that Jiang You was indeed not a person who would live in peace.

"Then I'll just talk about the key points..."

Then Emiya Kiritsugu described what he said he knew about the events before Chapter 62.

"Rather than saying he seized the Holy Grail, it would be better to say he reversed the damage caused by the Holy Grail War..."

After hearing this, Red A nodded and raised his hands in surrender.

"From now on, Medusa, you can attack as you please. I admit defeat."

Bai Mao, who was carrying a camera, showed a very disappointed expression - this battle started well but ended badly, and there was no way to release it.

Chapter 105 Red A: Set your Noble Phantasm's capture target as the Earth!

"So, Red A, are you planning on joining my side?"

Jiang You saw Medusa return with a dark-skinned, white-haired man, and knew something was amiss. Jason and Cu Chulainn were the only Servants who could contribute to Tōsaka Rin's cause. Not to mention Gilgamesh, who was enjoying the game, and Ilia, who was still competing for rankings. A real fight would have been a problem for them.

If it was a normal Holy Grail War, it would indeed be worth celebrating, but Jiang You was not here to get the Holy Grail. He just got excited and started an event for the NPC as a player because of the linear plot.

You know, ever since this event was held, duel rewards from magicians fighting each other have been pouring into his mail. Although most of them are blank cards and useless cards with strict activation conditions and mediocre effects, they have opened up a new idea for him - he can activate his own Noble Phantasms widely to achieve a sweeping effect.

But now all the contestants are on our side, so what’s the point of playing now?

However, what was gratifying was that he received a favorability reward for Red A a few minutes ago, and obtained several cards related to the Heroic Spirit with the Emiya attribute of Red A. This was considered a small gain, but he didn't know where this favorability reward came from.

"Red Archer? That's an interesting name. It helps distinguish me from that Emiya. Just call me that."

This was the first time that Heroic Spirit Emiya encountered the name Red A, and he gladly accepted it.

"I'm a pragmatist. I'll support whichever side has the better chance of winning."

"You should tell Medea this..."

Jiang You said that he had heard Red A's line which was exactly the same as in the anime, but Medea was eliminated in less than two episodes, so he didn't dare to take it up.

Jokes aside, Emiya's favorability reward is quite generous, which shows that this guy is really sincere.

"Thank you for joining me, but I still have to hold this event. I hope you can actively participate."

"I certainly won't break this rule! I believe your Noble Phantasm does have the power to resolve disputes. This way, sneak attacks and battles will become fair card duels, leaving room for maneuver in all attacks."

Red A was truly considering the issue of Jiang You's Noble Phantasm achieving peace. He had long been tired of using others' lives as tools. "Poisoning, ambushes, and weapons of mass destruction will lose their value, and all human disputes will be resolved through duels!"

Red A's favorability rating was still rising, even reaching level 3. Jiang You had never expected the favorability rating to rise so much, and the look in Red A's eyes when he looked at him was no longer right.

Red A became increasingly agitated as he spoke. He slammed the table and stood up, causing the tea in front of Medusa to spill out, startling her. "Caster, let's spread your Noble Phantasm throughout the world!"

Very good, Red A is not unwilling to be a partner of justice, he just feels that there is no hope ahead. Now that he has seen a way to solve the problem, he seems to have become the crazy righteous man who goes to the battlefield as a mercenary.

Jiang You wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead. He felt that Red A should be the planner of this event: "Don't get excited, drink some water first."

"Your approach is not unfeasible."

Jiang You confidently considered the feasibility of this plan. Considering Fuyuki's mana consumption, and considering that there were over 100000 cities worldwide, it would require at least 274 Command Seals to fully activate the effect. Even sending Chaldea's cheating Master would cost Saint Quartz. How many Five Treasures Heroic Spirits would that require? Furthermore, natural recovery would take years.

"But there's currently no way to solve the mana consumption problem."

Although the Soul Crystal possessed almost unlimited energy, Jiang You was completely unable to use it. Medea gave up after teaching Jiang You several times. She felt that Jiang You was simply an insulator to magic power, and the only magic power he could call upon in this life was his own Noble Phantasm.

"It's okay, the Holy Grail might be able to help us too! Caster, didn't you purify the Holy Grail?"

Red A recalled the world line mentioned by Emiya Kiritsugu and found a way again.

"Actually, that wasn't me who did it. Beast simply absorbed the evil of this world. If there's a vessel that can serve as the host for the evil of this world, and we can defeat it using the Dark Game, it might work."
