Abnormal Moon

They would even give up their own lives for it.

Those who risk their lives for an unattainable ideal are extremely rare, even among all the people Taigong Wang has seen and heard over thousands of years.

In him, Taigong Wang could see a brilliance comparable to that of ancient heroes.

"I understand. Since Master is so expectant, then I will act in accordance with Master's wishes!"

Jiang Ziya finally nodded.

If Roy hadn't died, I believe he would have become someone who changed the course of the world.

As Taigong Wang praised him, he sent a telegram to Yuanshi Tianzun in his mind.

Excuse me, Master, I'd like to request that the oath I just made be voided. I need to revise it and resubmit it. Could you please approve it?

Yuanshi Tianzun: "→_→"

Taigong Wang was overjoyed with the unexpected result.

After exchanging ideas with Roy for a while and finalizing the tactics, he vanished in spirit form.

Roy sat alone in the corridor, holding a glass of water that had gone cold.

Rider was successfully won over.

"In this way, when this Holy Grail War begins, my battle will finally begin."

Roy put down his water glass, inexplicably feeling a urge to drink.

He got up and walked to the kitchen, where there was a refrigerator made of runes, containing wine.

"Speaking of which, have I forgotten something?"

Roy patted his head, suddenly realizing something was wrong.

He'd already spoken with Touko and Taikoubou; they didn't need to worry about Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hayasaka Ai. So, the next person they hadn't spoken to yet was—

"Holy crap, Saber!"

"My Lord! You finally remembered me, waaaaah!"

Suddenly, a loud wail rose in my heart.

Miss Okita's plaintive sobs, like those of a wronged wife, were enough to give anyone goosebumps.

"Sorry sorry!"

Roy was deeply ashamed and quickly comforted Miss Okita in his heart.

"I definitely haven't forgotten you, I've just been a bit busy lately! You see, I just remembered—oops, I mean, I just wanted to have a good talk with you, didn't I?"

Upon reflection, he realized that it had been five or six days since he had last spoken a single word to Ms. Okita.

Even though she's just a Servant, and he's the only one she can rely on, and he gave her an order not to show herself before the Holy Grail War, he's just been left to his own devices for so many days, and he hasn't even said a word to her, and he's completely forgotten about her!

Wow, even I think about it now, it was really too much!

What a scumbag!

"Really? So Master summoned Rider because he thinks I'm useless?"

Miss Okita asked, sobbing intermittently.

Roy could already picture Ms. Okita looking so wronged, with oil dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"That's not true, that was my strategy from the beginning!"

"So, Master thought Okita was completely useless from the beginning?"

"Why do you think so?"

Roy was shocked.

"Because the Master intended to make Rider the main force from the beginning, right?"

what.

Oh, is that another explanation?

That's... definitely true.

"But Master told me before that he doesn't value my combat strength, but rather the compatibility between us, right?"

Roy's body trembled.

"That's because Master never expected much from me in terms of combat ability, and instead placed all his bets on Rider, right?"

Roy was drenched in sweat.

"So, Master prepared the artifacts to summon powerful Servants from the very beginning, and used compatibility to summon me, because anyone could do it as long as the compatibility was right? I was here first!"

broken!

Discovered by her!

Roy never expected Okita to be a strong fighter in the first place. His claim that he cared about their compatibility was just a ploy to get her to work harder.

Damn it, how come Ms. Okita is so perceptive at a time like this?

"Saber, come out here!"

"Yes... *sobs*..."

Golden spiritual particles converged, and Ms. Okita Souji, dressed in a haori, appeared before Roy.

Her little mouth pursed, her eyes were wet, and she looked aggrieved.

"Saber, remember this: since I summoned you through affinity, it means you are my one and only!"

Roy grabbed Okita Souji's shoulder and looked at her with a determined gaze.

"No one can be just anyone. It's because of you that I can be helped. Although strength isn't your forte, I can't do without you. You'll be essential for the upcoming battle. Without you, I can't win. Do you understand?"

"Really, really?"

Miss Okita blinked, a hint of joy appearing on her face.

"Of course, you should think about it. Why did I summon you of all people? It means I can't live without you!"

Roy looked at Ms. Okita with a sincere expression, blinking his eyes as he tried to project his earnestness.

"My Master can't live without me?! Ugh, don't say things that will cause misunderstandings~!"

A blush of embarrassment rose on Ms. Okita's face, like a boiled crab.

...Whatever.

Just keep her calm and get her to give it her all.

Roy secretly rejoiced, thankfully Miss Okita was innocent and naive, so easy to handle!

Taigong Wang saw everything in the dark.

He was lost in thought.

Was I misled by my Master?

Chapter 31 Rallying Order

A special barrier covers the sky above Fuyuki City.

That barrier was erected ten years ago, right after the Fourth Holy Grail War ended.

With just one person and a wave of their hand, the enormous barrier was successfully erected.

Even the current Fuyuki City was rebuilt within the original barrier.

The barrier's characteristic is that it repels spirits.

All calamities involving spirits are within the defensive range of this barrier, including ghosts, cursed spirits, and even heroic spirits, none of which can enter or leave this barrier.

All spiritual threats were kept out of Fuyuki City.

Therefore, in the years since the birth of Shin-Fuyuki City, there has never been a single incident of spiritual disaster.

Ghosts and cursed spirits have never appeared in Fuyuki City. The most common disasters in Fuyuki City, besides the monsters that attack the city, are the man-eating demons that occasionally appear.

Among the demons, there are said to be beings known as the Twelve Demon Moons, whose power is terrifying. Ordinary magicians are no match for them, and wherever they appear, they will cause a tragedy.

However, the cannibalistic demons' base of operations is in the vicinity of Kanbuko City, and demons of the Twelve Demon Moon level do not easily appear in Fuyuki City.

Therefore, the most common disaster in Fuyuki City is monster sieges.

Because of the presence of a large number of magicians, the few magical beasts could not cause much damage, and magical beasts of the fantasy level had not appeared many times.

Therefore, among the four major base cities in Japan, Fuyuki City is the safest, except for Misaki City.

Misaki City is considered the safest city because a very terrifying witch lives there.

It is said that a certain demon king, who is now hiding in the vicinity of Kanbuko City, once set foot in the territory of Misaki City, but on the same day, he fled without a trace like a mouse seeing a cat.

Since then, the demon king has never dared to plot against Misaki City again.

Although there is also a very troublesome user of the Mystic Eyes in Guanbuzi City, compared to that witch who seems to have stepped out of a fairy tale and is as bizarre as Arabian Nights, this user of the Mystic Eyes is easier to deal with.
