Abnormal Moon

"Alright, don't ask any questions yet, just hide! Use the runes you're good at!"

Rin Tohsaka shoved Roy.

Seeing that she looked very serious and not like she was joking, Roy had no choice but to agree.

He intended to use runes to become invisible, but his gaze suddenly fell on the area under the desk.

His eyes darted around, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then he abandoned the runes and hid under the desk.

Rin Tohsaka looked at him with a puzzled expression, but not wanting to delay any longer, she sat down at the table.

"come in!"

"Mayor, this is an urgent request for assistance from Tokyo!"

The female secretary, who came from Chancheng, opened the office door, walked to the desk with a tense face, and handed the file bag in her hand to Rin Tohsaka.

"Emergency assistance?"

Rin Tohsaka frowned slightly.

My attention, which had been somewhat scattered, suddenly became focused.

She took the file bag and opened it.

I was about to quickly browse through it from beginning to end.

"Whoa!"

Rin Tohsaka suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"mayor?"

Chancheng looked at her with a puzzled expression.

what happened?

Was the content of the document too shocking?

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Rin Tohsaka coughed lightly and casually put down the documents in her hand.

Chancheng cautiously observed the mayor, noticing that her delicate skin was gradually developing a rosy blush, and that her eyes held a strange allure.

Having been through it all, she was immediately struck by a chill.

There's no one else in this office besides the mayor, so why is he making that expression?

Could it be...?!

Is the mayor performing a water magic trick without chanting?

"Well... Mayor, I'll head out now. Call me if you need anything!"

Chancheng forced a smile, then quickly turned and left.

They even thoughtfully closed the door tightly, leaving no gaps for anyone outside.

"You're going to die!"

Seeing the door close, Rin Tohsaka quickly pulled out a chair and kicked Roy, who was hiding under the desk.

Roy grabbed her ankle, a knowing smile on his face.

Upon closer inspection, her thigh-high stockings were glistening with moisture.

"Why won't you let me show up?"

"Just for this?"

Rin Tohsaka glared at him, her face full of shame and indignation.

"You disappeared with the Greater Grail. The Mage's Association knows the Greater Grail is gone and has been ignoring us all this time. What will they think if you reappear now?"

The main reason the Mage's Association sent magicians to be stationed in Fuyuki City was to obtain the Greater Grail. During the previous Holy Grail War, Roy disappeared with the Greater Grail, and the Mage's Association knew that it could no longer possess the Greater Grail, so it has remained very quiet during this period and has not taken any retaliatory actions.

Once Roy reappears in the open, the magicians belonging to the Magic Association will most likely swarm him like sharks smelling blood.

"You didn't run into the magician when you arrived, did you?"

"We didn't even touch a hair."

"Then try not to show up. It's not too late to reappear after you have the power to overthrow the Mage Association."

"We don't really need to care too much about those guys... but since you put it that way, let's do it this way."

Roy gave a vague reply.

He didn't take the Mage's Association very seriously, but if the magicians flocked there again, Fuyuki City, his base, would definitely be affected. In that case, he might as well go along with Rin Tohsaka's plan.

Since he intends to completely destroy the magic system, the Mage's Association is an insurmountable hurdle that he will inevitably have to overcome sooner or later.

"Okay, let go of my leg right now!"

Now that I've explained it, you should understand, right? Rin Tohsaka tried to pull her leg back.

Roy readily released his grip on her ankle, then emerged from under the table, swept his long arm around Rin Tohsaka, and placed her on his lap while he sat down in the chair.

"Don't do anything reckless, this is an office!"

Rin Tohsaka placed her hands on his shoulders, looking nervously at the door.

Someone could walk into the office at any time!

"Don't worry, no matter how thirsty I am, I won't do anything in a place like this."

Roy wrapped one arm around the girl's slender, willow-like waist and opened the imaginary pocket with the other.

They pulled out a giant robot that was over two meters tall.

This robot is entirely black and its appearance is about 70% similar to Aldi from the world of Academia.

However, since the core only uses ordinary All-Purpose Ore, it can only be considered a degraded mass-produced version of Ardyn, which was named Variant by Aenesta.

"This is what I gained in another world..."

Roy gave Rin Tohsaka a brief introduction to the origin and function of this anthropomorphic entity.

"It's not only very powerful, but it's also equipped with artificial intelligence, giving it considerable computing power—"

"Wait a minute, what is artificial intelligence?"

Rin Tohsaka blinked her big eyes, looking completely bewildered.

Is it something like a telephone?

"...Okay, I forgot you're an electronics idiot."

"Don't call me an idiot!"

Roy sighed and held down Rin Tohsaka, who was struggling to object.

"In short, just treat her like a familiar with intelligence. She can fight, fly, and even help you with government affairs."

"Jarvis, turn it on!"

Roy gave the order.

The android in front of me seemed to have received a command, its eyes flashing with green data streams.

“Master, Jarvis is at your service.”

"Speak!"

"That's it, just use it as you please."

Roy guided Rin Tohsaka through the process of registering her as Jarvis's master.

Although Rin Tohsaka is completely clueless about electronics, she can command artificial intelligence just like she commands a human, without any difficulty whatsoever.

Rin Tohsaka cautiously fumbled around for a while, but quickly understood the point and felt relieved.

Incidentally, Jarvis is Roy's quirky hobby. In reality, this AI's intelligence level is no worse than Jarvis's; it's just that in this world without the internet, what it can do is far less than what it can do there.

"Wow, this is amazing! It's so convenient to have a familiar like this, it's practically like a Heroic Spirit!"

Rin Tohsaka looked at the anthropomorphic Variant with a mixture of surprise and delight. She seemed quite pleased with this gift, which was both literary and martial, as it could completely free her from her tedious affairs.

"Speaking of which, are emergency assistance requests common in Tokyo?"

Roy picked up the documents on the table and began to skim through them.

Has the number of cursed spirit disasters increased significantly?

The tone was quite urgent.

They actually need more than a dozen magicians to come to the rescue?

How many magicians can Fuyuki City produce right now? How can they ask for such an exorbitant price?

"No, it's very rare, it doesn't happen even once a year, and usually it's just a regular request for help. This situation is very unusual."

Rin Tohsaka turned her gaze away from the anthropomorphic creature and cautiously focused on the documents in Roy's hand.

"Fuyuki City simply doesn't have many magicians available right now, and they're all too busy to spare any manpower for rescue!"

Even if Rin Tohsaka wanted to go and rescue Tokyo, she was powerless to do so.
