Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 9 Summoning of Heroic Spirits
The Holy Grail is a legendary universal wish-granting machine that can fulfill all wishes.

The original wish has long been lost in the long years. Now, after living for five hundred years, Zouken Matou has only one wish, which is to survive.

——Live forever.

"Hmph! No matter how much I squeeze this body, this is the limit..."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a disposable pawn anyway. I can just use Tsuruno's body as a replacement later."

In the empty underground insect warehouse, a little boy with blue seaweed hair was talking to himself.

But what was strange was that the voice that came out of his mouth was very old, as if beneath that tender skin, there was a corrupt and old soul hidden.

"However, compared to adults, children's bodies are easier to transform."

As he spoke, lines like a network of blood vessels suddenly appeared under Matou Shinji's skin, moving slightly before quickly disappearing, as if something was slowly crawling inside his body.

"It took less than half a year to transform this body to a level sufficient to obtain Command Seals, and the quality of the Magic Circuits is surprisingly good. It's a bit of a shame..."

Looking at the three bright red Command Seals on the back of his hand, Matou Shinji narrowed his eyes slightly and a strange smile appeared on his face.

He only has one chance. If he gives up, he will have to wait another sixty years. During this period, he will have to look for new chess pieces. The possibility of accidents is too great.

Therefore, in this Holy Grail War, even if it means sacrificing his own "grandson", Zouken Matou will fight for the chance to win.

Even if you fail in the end, you can still prepare for the next action.

"Now that you've obtained the qualifications to participate in the battle, you only need to wait for the summons."

Looking up at the summoning circle and holy relics that had already been placed in the center of the insect warehouse, Zouken Matou silently waited for the opportunity to come.

…………

February 7th.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, in the courtyard of the Kamiya family.

Kamiya Yu looked at the summoning circle that had already been drawn on the ground and made a final check.

Beside him, Sakura was holding an ancient book, looking at the summoning circle with curiosity.

Half a year has passed since Sakura was adopted by Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Although she was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, Sakura gradually accepted the fact that she was the daughter of the Kamiya family in daily interactions, and her name had long been changed from Tousaka Sakura to Kamiya Sakura.

"Well, there's no problem now." After a while, Kamiya Yu nodded with satisfaction, then he turned around and stretched out his hand to Sakura, "Sakura, you can give me the book in your hand."

"Okay~" Hearing Kamiya Yu's words, Sakura obediently handed the holy relic in her hand to him.

In order to obtain the holy relic to summon Medea, Kamiya Yu used his connections in the Clock Tower as much as possible during the past six months.

Finally, in exchange for a favor, he bought this magic book, which was said to have been used by Medea, from a noble magician.

After taking the holy relic, Kamiya Yu walked forward a few steps, placed it in the center of the summoning circle, and then retreated to his original position.

"By the way, Dad, which hero are you planning to summon?" Seeing that he was ready, Sakura asked curiously.

"Medea, the witch of betrayal in Greek mythology."

Kamiya Yuu looked down at Ying, a gentle smile on his face, then his eyes became a little serious, and he said softly, "It's almost time, Ying, you step back a little." "Okay."

Following Kamiya Yu's instructions, Sakura retreated to a relatively safe distance and watched the summoning ceremony quietly.

"Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill, fill! Over and over again, the next is five..."

Kamiya Yu stretched out his right hand engraved with the Command Seal and whispered the spell. The amazing magic circuit in his body began to operate silently.

The magic of the Holy Grail and the earth veins also appeared at this moment, and the summoning circle engraved on the ground gradually lit up with a light blue light.

Meanwhile, in a clearing in the woods of Fuyuki City... on the other side of the world, in the Einzbern castle... in a magic workshop in a noble mansion in England...

A similar yet slightly different scene is quietly unfolding.

"—You are Qitian, who is entangled with the three great word spirits, from the Wheel of Suppression, the Guardian of the Scales!"

As the words fell, a brilliant white light suddenly lit up, obscuring the vision of Kamiya Yu and the others. A surging whirlwind of magic swept around the courtyard, and the strong wind pressure made it difficult for people to open their eyes.

After a moment, the light faded and the wind subsided.

The remaining breeze blew the leaves in the courtyard. After a slight noise, accompanied by a light puff of smoke, everything around became quiet.

"Oh, so you're manifesting as Caster this time—Oh, so it's you who's summoning me, little brother~"

The smoke and dust completely dissipated, and what appeared in front of Kamiya Yu and Sakura was a male servant wearing a dark blue cloak and a frivolous smile on his face. In his hand was a huge wooden staff that looked like a sickle.

"…Caster, Cuchulainn?"

What's going on? Am I not using Medea's holy relic?

Why did a big blue dog pop out? !

Besides, is your Caster-class Cu Chulainn legal?
The moment he saw his senior brother, Kamiya Yu was stunned, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

You know, although Cu Chulainn has many forms, he is Caster and cannot be summoned casually. He will only appear in certain special circumstances.

In Kamiya Yu's impression, C-Dog seemed to have only appeared in the initial singularity and the Lostbelt... In other words, wherever he appeared, something strange or important would definitely happen.

Moreover, the C-level Cu Chulainn's spiritual base seems to have integrated some of the authority and power of the Norse god Odin, becoming his agent.

Therefore, Kamiya Yu didn't know whether the familiar senior brother in front of him was the real person or Odin's account.

"..."

After recovering from the brief shock, Kamiya Yu looked carefully at the blue Servant not far away, trying to identify his true identity.

Sakura blinked in confusion. Didn't her father just say he was going to summon the treacherous witch Medea? Why did a young male Servant appear?
Could it be that all the witch ladies in the Age of Gods are men in disguise... the young loli thought so in her heart.

'Cu Chulainn', who was standing in the center of the summoning circle, did not immediately explain his identity. Instead, he observed Kamiya Yu's solemn and complicated expression with great interest, as if he was expecting something.

The courtyard suddenly fell into silence.

"You are...Odin?"

After a while, Kamiya Yu looked at Cu Chulainn and asked tentatively.
