Chapter 79: Playing the role of Sakura Katakuri, Black Grail, A Certain Magical Index

"System, use anchor point traversal."

Takahashi Yu spoke to the strand of hair from Misaka Mikoto that she was holding in her hand.

"Anchor point traversal usage, points deducted..."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully linked to the world of [A Certain Magical Index]."

A notification sound indicating a successful connection was heard, and at the same time, Takahashi Yu's accumulated system points decreased significantly in an instant.

Looking at the [A Certain Magical Index] (Unexplored) in the list of linked worlds that appeared on the system panel, Takahashi Yu stood up and turned her gaze to herself.

A burst of light enveloped Takahashi Yu. This was not a special effect of the system's teleportation, since anchor point crossing did not require Takahashi Yu to travel to the target world to make a link. Rather, it was an effect produced when the role card was used.

Takahashi Yu understood that this must be a random role-playing card given by the system after each new world is connected, which will be used automatically after being obtained.

However, in the past, the process of using the card was always obscured by the special effects of teleportation, and by the time Takahashi Yu came to her senses, it was already over. This was the first time Takahashi Yu had seen the entire process of using the random role-playing card.

Under the glow, Takahashi Yu entered the state of using the role-playing card. When the light dissipated, Takahashi Yu opened her eyes and looked at her own body.

A pair of arms covered in blood-red lines, as white as snow and as smooth as jade, and a figure so thin that you couldn't see the toes when you looked down, made Takahashi Yu instantly confirm the gender of this random role-playing card.

"Another female cosplay card?"

Since purchasing the White cosplay card from the system shop, Takahashi Yu has noticed that her chances of drawing female cosplay cards seem to have increased.

Ryougi Shiki, Shiro, and now this one, making a total of seven role-playing cards, three of which are female, a probability close to fifty percent.

Although the role-playing cards can be drawn from both men and women, and even absurd things like Ainz Ooal Gown exist, Takahashi Yu still felt very uncomfortable with the female role-playing cards.

Nevertheless, Takahashi Yu decided to experience the power of the card first before making any further decisions.

After glancing at the system panel, Takahashi Yu quickly found the information of the role-playing card he had acquired in the role-playing card list.

【Matou Sakura o Black Grail】(30.9% role-playing rate)

Sakura Matou, the heroine from the Type-Moon universe, is shown in the Sakura route of the Fifth Holy Grail War, also known as the famous Heaven's Feel route.

It merges with the Black Grail, possessing almost infinite magical power, and becomes a terrifying, golden entity in three bites.

Feeling the endless magical power surging within his body, and the immense malevolent thoughts constantly churning within him, he knew that this must be the magical power brought by the Black Grail.

That blatant malice was unsettling even for Takahashi Yu, a user who had fully mastered the power of the card. An ordinary person would probably go insane if they were exposed to even a little bit of that magic.

"Then what happens next..."

Takahashi Yu exited the role-playing mode by clicking on the system panel, then opened the clone interface and materialized [Matou Sakura o Black Grail] as a clone.

The next second, a girl with white hair and wearing a black and red dress appeared in front of Takahashi Yu. Her jade-like skin was covered with blood-red Command Seals, making her look both eerie and beautiful.

Despite her stunning beauty, her demeanor doesn't suggest she's a positive character at all; she's the kind of person you can immediately tell is a villain.

Fortunately, these Command Seals that appeared on her body were not uncontrollable. After she gathered her enormous magical power, most of the Command Seals gradually disappeared. Only a few lines remained on her slender, snow-white neck, extending to her cheeks, but the impact was minimal.

"System, teleport Matou Sakura to the world of A Certain Magical Index."

Takahashi Yu said to the system.

"Ding! Shadow Clone Matou Sakura is teleporting..."

A flash of white light appeared, and Matou Sakura's figure vanished instantly from Takahashi Yu's sight.

......

In the world of A Certain Magical Index, Sakura Matou, dressed in a black and red dress, arrives at a dark alley.

These alleyways are usually favorites of petty thugs and are frequently visited places. However, there was no one in this alley at this moment, which in a sense saved several lives.

Stepping out of the alley, the bustling street scene and the voices emanating from his senses instantly made Takahashi Yu, who was checking the situation through the clone interface, realize where Matou Sakura was.

"Academy City?"

Takahashi Yu was confident that he could identify the main locations of the plot in the original work, not to mention that within Matou Sakura's perception range, he had heard information about Academy City from passersby more than once.

Meanwhile, within Academy City, a man inside a container opened his eyes expressionlessly.

Just now, in Academy City... no, I should say in this world, a new "person" suddenly appeared.

"Is there any connection between this case and the missing third person's situation?"

A month ago, the third member of Academy City suddenly disappeared without warning. Even he, who was constantly monitoring the integration of Academy City, did not know where the other party had gone. It was as if he had vanished from the world out of thin air.

Now, another person has suddenly appeared in Academy City, just like the third one who disappeared back then. Just like that, he is undetectable and appears out of the blue.

"Is something that doesn't belong to this world looking for me?"

Sensing the other party's intentions, the man calmly instructed someone to fetch the person.

......

On the other side, the white-haired girl walked down the street. Despite her extraordinary appearance, people around her kept their distance from her, for reasons they couldn't quite explain.

Blood-red lines extended from her neck to her cheeks, but were concealed by her long white hair, only appearing intermittently as the girl walked.

The direction the girl was heading was the same direction as the windowless building in the urban legend of Academy City, but at this unhurried pace, it was expected to take a long time to reach her destination.

However, Matou Sakura was not in a hurry, or rather, Takahashi Hayao, who was giving orders to his clone in the real world, was not in a hurry.

Because the conversation that was about to begin was very important, he had to provide guidance throughout. After all, the person he was going to find, although not as powerful as the Demon God, was still extremely dangerous. So, it was precisely at times like these that he had to remain calm and composed.

Suddenly, from Matou Sakura's perspective, a woman dressed in rather revealing clothing appeared on the street ahead.

Kihara Ayaki, a level 4 coordinate movement ability user, is also the messenger of Aleister, the founder of Academy City and the mastermind behind it all.

"finally come."

In the real world, Takahashi Yu's hands are crossed, and she is resting her chin on her hand.

Since Kihara Tsuki appeared here, it means that Aleister did indeed notice his clone.

However, this is exactly what Takahashi Yu wanted, since his purpose in coming to the world of A Certain Magical Index was, to some extent, to find Aleister.

Chapter 80: A Cooperation That Aleister Couldn't Refuse

Standing on the street, looking at the eerie woman with long white hair and a faint smile on her face, Kihara Ayaki felt a chill run down her spine for no reason.

However, remembering the orders she had received, she still stepped forward.

"Come with me, I will use my abilities to take you away from here."

Then, Kihara Tamaki spoke.

Upon hearing this, Matou Sakura nodded with a slight smile on her cheeks, which were faintly stained with crimson lines.

"Then take me with you."

With Matou Sakura's permission, Kihara Tsukishi avoided looking at her face, made a quick mental calculation, and then activated her ability.

The next second, the two of them found themselves in an unusually spacious room.

Considering the size of this place, calling it indoors might be too spacious. And although there are no dedicated lighting fixtures, the room is illuminated by countless screens that emit star-like lights.

Countless lines and pipes extending from various instruments, large and small, crisscross like blood vessels, connecting to the container-like device in the center of the room.

The dim environment creates an oppressive atmosphere, which would surely make an ordinary person feel flustered.

However, there were clearly not many normal people in the room at that moment.

As a clone, Matou Sakura doesn't experience fear at all. As for Kihara Tsuki, she is indeed quite afraid of this environment, but her role this time is merely to lead the way. Now that she has brought the target here, her mission is complete.

In the real world, Takahashi Yu calmed her thoughts.

Whether this connection to the world of A Certain Magical Index will yield any results depends largely on how well the subsequent actions are handled.

If he handles it successfully, he will be able to gain a great deal in this world.

However, if things aren't handled well, then given the circumstances of this world, if we don't want to be detected by those demons and then be hunted down by them, we'll have no choice but to recall our clones, put the A Certain Magical Index world on hold for now, and slowly conquer it later.

Takahashi Yu didn't care. After all, he had the initiative to travel between worlds, so he could sit back and relax. At worst, he would just have wasted one travel opportunity. Those demons didn't have a system, so they couldn't possibly jump out of the A Certain Magical Index world to come and find him in the real world.

Therefore, even though there is a big difference in strength, since they are separated by a world and the exploration is done by sending clones, Takahashi Yu really doesn't need to take these demon gods seriously.

Even the fiercest tiger in a cage can only inspire a little fear, but it doesn't really make people care that much.

Through the clone panel, Takahashi Yu's gaze fell upon the center of the room, where countless pipes and wires crisscrossed and finally connected to a huge tubular container filled with red liquid.

In the center of the container, a man with long silver hair and wearing a green surgical gown floats upside down.

At this moment, he stared calmly at Matou Sakura with eyes devoid of any emotion, while Takahashi Yu in the real world was also observing the man in front of him through Matou Sakura's perspective.

How should one describe the other person's appearance? Takahashi Yu could see any possible combination of human characteristics in the other person, which was quite bizarre.

According to the description in the original A Certain Magical Index manga, he was both a man and a woman, both an old man and a child.

He embodies characteristics of every stage of human development, making it impossible for normal language to provide a specific description of his appearance.

He is the founder of Academy City, the chairman of the Academy City Council, the leader of the scientific forces in the world of A Certain Magical Index, and once the greatest magician of the 20th century, Aleister Crowley.

"I never expected you would actually want to come here on your own initiative, you visitor from another world."

Words devoid of emotion, yet carrying a peculiar rhythm, echoed in the room, instantly revealing the reality that the person before them came from another world.

In the real world, Takahashi Yu was not surprised at all. After all, for a magician like Aleister, who was only half a step away from becoming a demon god, it was too easy for him to know that there was one more person in the world.

It's important to understand that in the world of A Certain Magical Index, the human population is kept constant by rules, and its increase or decrease is always precisely controlled.

In this situation, the appearance of Matou Sakura, dispatched by Takahashi Yu, was like turning the result of 1+1=2 into 3. Anyone who paid a little attention could easily notice that something was wrong, not to mention that Matou Sakura appeared directly in Academy City.

As Aleister's headquarters, Academy City is filled with devices called hoverlines, allowing Aleister to monitor every move in every corner of Academy City at all times. It would be strange if Aleister couldn't detect the sudden appearance of Matou Sakura.

"It seems that Chairman Aleister already knows my identity. But that's understandable. After all, given my understanding of this world, this kind of thing is not difficult for you."

Takahashi Yu relayed the words to Matou Sakura, who then relayed them to Aleister.

"It seems you know me very well, and you also know this world very well."

The voice was still undulating, yet remained remarkably calm. However, it's worth mentioning that before Aleister even began speaking, Kihara Tsuki had already discreetly left the windowless building, clearly afraid of overhearing something she shouldn't have.

It wasn't that she wasn't curious about the conversation between Matou Sakura and Chairman Aleister, but compared to the fear Aleister instilled in her, this curiosity gave her less than one ten-thousandth of the courage she felt.

"Then state your purpose. What is it that you sought to come here to see me?"

“I want to discuss a deal, or rather... a collaboration, with the chairman of Aleister Group.”
