Abnormal Moon

Why was there a note?

Nakano Miku looked completely puzzled.

She has checked Ms. Okita many times and can say with certainty that there is absolutely no note under Ms. Okita's hair!

Roy picked up the note and saw a few small words on it.

"New player reward".

"..."

Roy fell silent.

He remembered.

Previously, when he was on the outside of the world, the Root said that He not only gave him compensation, but also a beginner's reward.

It turned out to be the case.

So the compensation is Tiamat, and the reward is Ms. Okita?

It wasn't him who said it.

Isn't this giving Ms. Okita a bit too much credit?

Although Roy is Okita's Master, he has to admit that Okita is indeed a noob.

Even with him as their Master and their strength enhanced, they only barely reached the threshold of becoming a first-rate Servant. This was only in terms of melee combat; in terms of Noble Phantasms, they were not even as strong as Archer.

More importantly, she doesn't even have a light cannon!

"No, this might actually be an advantage!"

Roy suddenly realized something and fell into deep thought.

Nakano Miku stayed quietly to the side, not daring to disturb Roy's thoughts.

Ultimately, since Gengen gave Ms. Okita to him, it must be so that he could take Ms. Okita with him when he goes to other worlds.

If that's the case, then having a beam cannon would actually become a problem. No, it should be said that all heroic spirits who rely heavily on magic in combat would become a problem, because their use of magic in combat might attract the attention of the world's consciousness. The world's consciousness might not necessarily do anything to them, but being noticed by the world's consciousness is definitely not a good thing.

And what about Ms. Okita?

very weak.

But surprisingly, he doesn't rely much on magic in combat.

Her strength lies almost entirely in close combat. Whether it's the Natural Rinshin-ryu, Shrinking Earth, Mind's Eye, or even activating her Noble Phantasm, Mumei Tri-dan-tsu, or her Haori, it consumes almost no magic power. And the Flag of Sincerity, which can summon people, is mostly useless in other worlds. To be her Master, you basically only need to pay the magic power to maintain her existence.

A type that doesn't rely on magic to fight is indeed very suitable for supporting him.

Although it wouldn't be difficult for her to adapt to the rules... is Ms. Okita really still alive now?

Does Ms. Okita's soul still reside within this body?

Roy couldn't feel it.

His connection with Ms. Okita was severed long ago when the Holy Grail War ended, so he was unaware that her body had not actually dissipated.

"It's not so bad if it has no soul."

Roy suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

He began preparing a kind of magic, a ritual magic centered around Miss Okita.

Familiar magic.

Miss Okita, who is unconscious, is practically dead. Isn't this the best kind of familiar?

Turn Ms. Okita into a familiar, and then when there's trouble, Ms. Okita will step in, and when there's no trouble, Ms. Okita will step in... oops, when there's trouble, Ms. Okita will step in, while I stay in the rear. My survival ability will increase by a lot!

That might be the reason why Ms. Okita was left to him.

As the sole pioneer exploring new worlds, his most important task was not to roam freely between them, nor to adapt to or investigate their rules, but to preserve himself and survive as long as possible.

As long as he is alive, he will have countless opportunities to become stronger in the future.

While maintaining his familiar magic, Roy opened the Imaginary Number Pocket and took out a glittering golden Holy Grail.

That's the Lesser Grail, made by Irisviel ten years ago. Roy snatched it from Alter Alter. During the final battle, the eight souls inside escaped and opened a hole leading to the outside world. Roy then retrieved the Grail itself. This thing is a valuable item; we can't lose it.

Roy took out the Lesser Grail and placed it into Ms. Okita's body.

In this way, even if she leaves the Type-Moon world, Ms. Okita can maintain her existence with the magic power of the Lesser Grail, without having to consume Roy's magic power.

Soon, the magic trick was completed.

As soon as the magic trick was completed, Roy felt that two lines had formed between him and Ms. Okita: one was the contract line, and the other was the magic line.

This contract is undoubtedly an unequal contract; to be precise, it is a completely master-servant contract.

Roy is the master, and Miss Okita is the servant.

After all, Miss Okita was just like that, and had no room to resist at all.

In fact, when making a master-servant contract, it is generally necessary to kill the servant in order to make him one's own servant and a familiar.

At the very moment the contract was completed, Roy suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his head.

A large amount of information shifted from Ms. Okita to Roy through the contract line.

This information is so vast that it even exceeds the weight that the contract should have placed on it.

Moreover, this is not a power at all, but a memory.

A collection of Ms. Okita's memories of sword practice from childhood to adulthood.

The ending was unexpectedly long, but it should be finished tomorrow, and the second volume, the City of Learning arc, will begin the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 142 Natural Rinpoche

This is a record of Okita Souji's memories of practicing the Natural Rishin-ryu swordsmanship from childhood to adulthood.

From the initial understanding of the Tennen Rishin-ryu style, to the gradual deepening of the middle and advanced stages, and finally the complete transmission of the Menkyo school, all the sword techniques, key points, and experience were passed down from Okita Souji.

In that instant, Roy received a complete enlightenment, acquiring all of Okita's swordsmanship skills.

This far exceeds the weight of the power that the contract would tilt towards.

I gained this memory definitely not because of the contract.

What exactly is that?

"So that's how it is! This is the real newbie reward!"

Roy muttered to himself, suddenly realizing something.

Needless to say, this is the root cause.

He used Okita Souji as a medium to pass on this knowledge to him, thereby making up for his weakness—his close combat ability was severely lacking, almost to the point of being non-existent.

In essence, passing on knowledge is probably the cheapest form of expenditure.

Essentially, Roy and Roots had only a transactional relationship.

Moreover, this is a newly formed transaction, where both parties are simply getting what they need and have not yet established genuine trust. It is estimated that it will be difficult to establish 100% trust in the future.

As evidence, while the source provided him with many conveniences, it did not help him solve some of the problems that already existed.

Furthermore, He couldn't be 100% certain that Roy would always be on His side.

Admittedly, there are many bonds in this world that can bind Roy, but if one day Roy betrays us and joins another world and never comes back, wouldn't all of His operating rules be exposed? That would be blatant aiding the enemy.

No one can say that there is absolutely no such possibility.

Therefore, the more Roy is strengthened, the greater the loss will be for Himself.

From this perspective, it's impossible for the Root to fully enhance Roy and push him to the top before exploring new worlds; that would be too risky. That's why He gave Roy the method to become stronger as a reward.

Ultimately, the so-called compensation and reward He prepared for Roy was to strengthen Roy in the most conservative way possible, without revealing His own rules as much as possible.

Giving away a memory of Okita Souji and a piece of the Natural Rishin-ryu style is nothing special.

As for Tiamat, it's actually a case of "you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

Roy understood this consideration, so he didn't ask the Root to remove the curse, purify the Greater Grail, or give him a Spirit Origin to turn him into a Demi-Servant. It was a tacit understanding between the two sides.

However, considering that Tiamat helped him purify the Greater Grail and the Root did not stop him, it seems that the Root did not object to Roy obtaining these powers in his own way.

In the bedroom.

Roy looked at Ms. Okita lying on the bed and mentally gave the order to get up.

The next moment, Okita Souji on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and got up without saying a word.

"Whoa!"

Nakano Miku gasped softly and raised her hands to cover her eyes.

But the eyes peeking through her fingers betrayed her.

Ms. Okita, who was standing on the ground, was only wearing a set of underwear. It was Nakano Miku who helped her change, probably because she was worried that she would catch a cold if she slept in her clothes.

Roy moved closer to Ms. Okita and observed her closely.
