Use FGO to open the second dimension

I have to admit that Youmu did a pretty good job, staying behind Koizumi with a straight face.

Having said that, it seems that Youmeng didn't have much to do at the Saigyouji house except cutting the weeds in the Baigyokulou.

Even if he wants to go out, he will just stay by Youyouko's side as a guard and go to other places for a stroll.

Except for some special expressions when Youyuko teases Youmu, he usually has a serious and old-fashioned look.

To be honest, this time Youmu is completely true to herself in playing this expressionless character.

"This is all a conspiracy by Trumberio's faction, the political enemies of my Archipelago family. It's all a plot to force Lord El-Melloi to temporarily leave the Clock Tower so they can take advantage of his absence to expand their influence within the Magic Association!"

El-Melloi II said this with indignation, leaving people speechless.

Why does it feel like you feel the same way? This is so wrong... Koizumi's mouth twitched violently.

This guy is completely distorting the facts, which is really frustrating.

"W-what!?" Kenneth's face suddenly showed a look of shock.

The next moment, Kenneth's heart was suddenly filled with anger.

"We decided to interfere with the past only because we knew you would be caught up in the Trumberio faction's conspiracy. But we cannot hastily warn you about something that hasn't happened yet. In order to share future knowledge with you... what we need is to observe clear evidence that the conspiracy does exist during the time of interference," El-Melloi II continued.

"Wow~ He can talk nonsense to this extent..." Dr. Roman couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Fu Fu..." Fu Fu, who obviously saw through what Dr. Roman was thinking, couldn't help but call out.

"Last night we finally got the evidence. We received direct testimony from the Tōsaka family, one of the three great families and the initiator of the Holy Grail War." El-Melloi II said slowly.

"How did you do it?" Kenneth couldn't help but ask.

Although he was very angry, Kenneth had not completely lost his basic composure. Of course, this was also because what El-Melloi II said was too unbelievable.

"We destroyed all visible spiritual veins in this city. Naturally, our sabotage activities have nothing to do with the rules of the Holy Grail War, so Toosaka confessed. Perhaps he felt that this Holy Grail War was just a scam and it was not worth losing control of the administrative area for it. Toosaka has already confessed that they conspired with the Tremberio faction to plan this Fourth Holy Grail War to lure Lord El-Melloi to come." El-Melloi II said slowly without blushing or panting.

Even Mashu couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat after hearing these words, and could only smile bitterly in her heart.

"You've even slipped a little truth into your lies. Your Excellency is truly despicable..."

Gu Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed inwardly. This couldn't be considered a complete lie. This was what they called half-truths and half-lies, which were the easiest to believe. It was like a mixture of truth and falsehood.

"Sir Kenneth, who not only studies but also seeks the Feat of Arms in actual combat, will undoubtedly be drawn to this magnificent arena... This is the truth behind the Fuyuki Ritual. The other participants who came to the battle, and the Holy Church who entrusted it with oversight, are nothing more than a trap to make this deception more convincing," El-Melloi II said slowly.

Chapter 465 Kenneth's Discovery

"How thoughtful, how ruthless... But those idiots obsessed with democracy, the Trumberio faction, are capable of it! They will indeed go to such lengths! I... why on earth would I waste my precious time on such a futile endeavor!"

Kenneth's face was filled with deep anger, and within that anger there was a hint of regret.

"Ah... you really took the bait..." Mashu couldn't help but reveal a hint of embarrassment on her face.

It seems this guy is so easily taken in... Did I overestimate him...

"However, having said that. Your method of defeating Caster was indeed brilliant, and Miss Sora will probably fall in love with you again because of your reliability." El-Melloi II praised the other party while explaining.

"Will it be like this? Hmm..." Kenneth nodded, and a look of approval appeared on his face.

He's actually playing the emotional card. Isn't it a bit too much to exploit someone's feelings?

An inexplicable expression appeared on Koizumi's face, and a hint of sympathy appeared in his eyes as he looked at the other party.

"That must be the case. I'm very sensitive to women's emotional trends. It's like - [I had absolutely no interest in her until now, but this time I saw her reliable side, which created a contrast, and my original dislike turned into liking her], a similar change of mood." El-Melloi II raised the corner of his mouth slightly and spoke slowly.

"Seriously...! No, no, this premise seems a little off. But whatever, the outcome is wonderful after all!"

Kenneth's face suddenly showed a look of joy.

Mashu also looked a little bit disappointed. What should I do if I start to feel some sympathy for her?

It's true that it's a little hard to stand, taking advantage of people's feelings and so on, but this guy is really stupid.

Koizumi complained slightly in his mind, but didn't say anything. He couldn't stand it, but the other party was pretty stupid. Besides, he didn't really want to cooperate with the other party. This was just a means to achieve the ultimate goal.

"In any case, there is no time to lose. Please return to London as soon as possible to stop the conspiracy of the Tranberio faction! No matter how strong the foundation of the Archipelago family is, without you, it will still fall into the despicable tactics of the democrats. Aristocracy - the rise and fall of our family depends on this." El-Melloi II was indignant and said hurriedly to Kenneth.

Kenneth couldn't help but reveal a hint of anger, and immediately let out a series of low growls, "Hey, hateful Trumberio, hateful Baruyereta! Let me teach you a lesson! Sora, pack your bags quickly!"

At this moment, Diarmuid pleaded, "Is there a new war on the other side of the sea... Master, I, Diarmuid, will be at your side! I have no desire to seek the Holy Grail. Wherever you are, my two guns will point to the battlefield!"

"Oh, that's really reliable. Ms. Sora will definitely be happy if even the Servant comes along!"

El-Melloi II emphasized the last sentence and spoke it slowly on purpose.

The corner of Koizumi's mouth twitched violently. You really said this deliberately. Do you have to be like this?

Your targeting of Diarmuid is a bit too deliberate. Everyone knows about Diarmuid's teardrop mole of love. Aren't you just reminding Kayneth to be careful of his own servants cheating on him?

I feel a little more sympathy for Diarmuid now. What a pitiful fellow... He's actually being targeted like this...

"...Um, uh..." Upon hearing this, Kenneth's face couldn't help but change from gloomy to bright.

Immediately, Kenneth seemed to have made a decision and raised his left hand towards Diarmuid.

"Lancer, I give this order in the name of the Command Seals. You will remain here and continue the Holy Grail War."

Suddenly, a bright red command seal began to emit a powerful rainbow light, and the order had been given.

"W-what!?" Diarmuid was also surprised.

"Even if it's a scam, even if it's just a formality, once I become famous and join the war, I must win, otherwise I will lose all my face." Kenneth was not wrong, he also didn't want to lose face.

However, according to Koizumi's speculation, this guy probably just doesn't want to be cheated on.

"As expected of Lord El-Melloi! You understand the pride of us Archibald!"

El-Melloi II raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke slowly to the other party in a slightly respectful tone.

"I entrust my servants to you. You must show your courage on behalf of the master. Eliminate all the participants in this stupid farce and let them know who is the real strong one!" Kenneth said slowly.

"Please leave it to me!" El-Melloi II accepted the order.

"...If that is my Master's wish, I will not hesitate. I will complete the mission with all my strength alongside my new Master."

Faced with his boss's opinion, Diarmuid had no choice but to accept it.

After all, this is the order of his boss. Diarmuid, who always obeys the orders of the monarch, will certainly not refute it.

"That's so mean! This is the first time I've seen someone get a Servant to change their contract just by talking!"

Dr. Roman was speechless and had to admit that it was a pity that El-Melloi II, with his eloquence, did not become a diplomat.

Even Gu Quan couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. The other party was being sold out and still helping others count the money.

"...Oh, one last thing. You said you found a draft of a love letter in my study, didn't you?"

As if he had thought of something, Kenneth looked at El-Melloi II in front of him meaningfully.

"...? Yes. So what?" El-Melloi II's brow twitched slightly.

He seemed to have guessed what the other party was going to say next, so he was not so calm.

"I would never be so careless as to leave something like that behind and allow others to rummage through my room. I suppose the future you was able to inspect my study... because that room will no longer have any owner?"

Upon hearing this, Koizumi, Ritsuka, Mashu, Youmu, and Dr. Roman's expressions changed slightly.

"...Yes. As you said." After a moment of silence, El-Melloi II nodded.

"Well, from this point of view, I should thank you." Kenneth began to thank you.

"...You are too kind. My former teacher. The monarch I aim to be. The great El-Melloi." El-Melloi II's voice sounded quite low and his expression looked quite gloomy.

"Your talent is a treasure that the Clock Tower can be proud of. Please take good care of yourself."

Chapter 466: A meaningless and futile thing?

After Kenneth left, El-Melloi II's expression became very heavy.

"Lord El-Melloi... Let me address you as the II again."

Dr. Roman spoke slowly and called out El-Melloi II.

"What's wrong?" El-Melloi II looked at Dr. Roman and said slowly.

"Although it may sound a bit presumptuous for me to say this, the false words you said to the previous generation of El-Melloi... were basically hypocritical. I think you understand that yourself, right?" Dr. Roman sighed and spoke slowly.

"What does this mean, doctor?" Mashu seemed to have not yet realized what it meant.

"Chaldeas isn't a time machine, and you aren't people from the future on this timeline. This singularity is just like a bubble, accidentally floating up in the burned history. It's a very limited area. Once the abnormal entity that caused its appearance is found, it will disappear... just like a dream that has nothing to do with actual history." Roman explained slowly.

“…” El-Melloi II was silent for a moment.

"So, no matter how hard you try, it doesn't mean you can change actual history. Even if you save someone here, this salvation is limited to this moment and this place. In your original timeline, the dead are still dead, and tragedy is destined to be tragedy. Interfering with the past through teleportation is theoretically impossible. Everything you do... is meaningless, right?" Dr. Roman said bluntly. Although it may be sad, what he said does make sense.

"This..." Mashu was speechless. She also realized that El-Melloi II seemed to want to change something.

"So what, doctor?" El-Melloi II's tone was still calm, and he didn't care at all.

"I just want to make sure whether you realize that everything you are doing is in vain. It seems that you want to solve the problem here as smoothly and satisfactorily as possible. Even if it doesn't need to be so thorough, there must be other simpler and less troublesome methods, right?" Dr. Roman sighed slightly and spoke slowly.

"In vain... Maybe it's so in the eyes of others. But this means a lot to me. Even if I can't truly save them, I hope to make the best choice here. This isn't compensation for what I couldn't do in the past. I simply can't allow myself to watch the same mistake happen again—that kind of weakness, my heart won't allow, that's all."

“…” Dr. Roman was silent for a moment.

"It's alright if you laugh at me for being self-satisfied. I simply don't want to go through the same struggle again, running around knowing I'm powerless. Naturally, the pain of regret belongs only to me. It's of no concern to anyone else. In that regard, I'm truly sorry for wasting your and Mashu's efforts..."

Hearing this, Koizumi couldn't help but let out a wry smile. It was pointless and futile... Actually, when it comes down to it, I often do this, too.

"El-Melloi II, your efforts are futile. I often do the same. Moreover, even when you know it's meaningless, you still choose to do your best to undo past mistakes. No one has the right to laugh at you. Speaking of treating the enemy, you are the one who is willing to face your true heart. That's what makes you most admirable."

Saying this, Koizumi smiled and slowly extended his fist to press against the opponent's heart.

"Indeed. If we just sit there and watch something bad happen, I'd feel like there's something wrong with us as humans. Regardless of the outcome, I agree with your policy, Your Majesty." Mashu agreed.

Ritsuka also smiled, "What Mashu said is my opinion..."

"Fufu..." Fufu also jumped onto Mashu's shoulders and shouted in agreement.

"Thank you. I'm glad you said that." El-Melloi II was slightly stunned, then smiled.

"...I see. This is what humanity is all about." Dr. Roman said with emotion, and then got to the point.

"Okay, I won't say anything more about this. So, what's the strategy going forward?"

Just as El-Melloi II was about to speak out his next strategy, a voice suddenly rang out.

"False words? Wait a minute! What did you all mean by what you just said? Are you deceiving me and my master?" Diarmuid, who had been stunned since the beginning and only reacted now, questioned Koizumi.

"Ah..." As if they had completely forgotten about Diarmuid, Koizumi and the others were stunned.

"Oops! I accidentally forgot about Lancer. It's not a big deal, but it's troublesome..."

Koizumi couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hands, a speechless look on his face, while glancing at Dr. Roman beside him.

Dr. Roman couldn't help but show a hint of apology. He shouldn't have asked El-Melloi II in such a place.

He accidentally forgot about the other person. He should have paid more attention to the environment earlier.

Forget it, at worst I can just tell Lancer the truth. He is an upright servant after all, and he will understand even if I tell him the truth. What's more, I don't have any bad intentions so far.

In the final analysis, they were just white lies. El-Melloi II was also trying to avoid the death of his own teacher.

Although I know that I cannot change the outcome, I still choose to do it.

"El-Melloi II, it's okay to tell Lancer the truth, after all, he's still Diarmuid."

Although the fact that he would be cuckolded would give his master a headache, it is true that he has an upright character.

There shouldn't be any problem even if he tells the truth, at least that's what Koizumi thinks.

"Telling the other party the truth will also be beneficial for the next action. Although I originally planned to tell them the truth at the end, there is nothing I can do now that I have encountered such a thing." There was a hint of helplessness in El-Melloi II's tone.

"The truth? What do you mean?" Diarmuid asked loudly, while assuming a fighting stance.

Youmu also silently stood in front of Koizumi, with the Hakulou sword in his hand pointing directly at Diarmuid in front of him.

Although he knew that it was his own unscrupulous military advisor who was behind this, he would not show weakness if the other party wanted to fight.

"Alright, Youmu, put away your sword. This won't make things worse."

Koizumi patted the girl's shoulder and spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on Diarmuid.

"Lancer, there's no need to be so hostile. Have we done anything to harm you so far?"

Diarmuid was slightly startled by what Koizumi said. It seemed that the other party had been assisting him and his Master, Kenneth, from the beginning to the end, and had not done anything excessive.

Chapter 467 The Darkness of the Matou Family

"I see! It's truly shocking that almost all humans are extinct in the near future!"
