They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

"Just come in!"

With the sound of the doorknob turning softly, Emiya pushed the door open and walked in. "You've received the message, right? There's still plenty of time before you leave, so don't rush to pack... Hey - what are you doing!?"

Emiya was so shocked that he immediately turned around, closed the door, and looked away... Nono had almost taken off her upper body clothes!

"What are you making such a fuss and yelling about?"

Nono put down the shirt she had just lifted up, which was almost wrinkled and squeezed into a tight circle, and then skipped in front of Emiya.

This girl always acted like this in front of Emiya. She made no secret of her true feelings. From the sudden "shake hands" with Emiya at the beginning to the "escape plan" later, her thoughts and actions were completely unpredictable.

So Emiya's first reaction was that Nono wasn't being naughty, but rather had a brilliant idea and was acting crazy in front of him...

"Look, look, I just made a strange discovery—"

"What are you looking at?"

"My breasts."

"!?"

Emiya's eyes widened as he thought to himself, "What kind of lewd words are these? Nono, your brain is constantly at its limit. Is it finally going to go haywire and lose your mind?"

But Nuonuo seemed not to hear it——

She uninhibitedly opened the white flowered collar of her dress, which was no longer restrained by buttons. The sunlight followed her smooth curves, casting a delicate glow on her skin. The faint fragrance of flowers lingered on the smooth skin between the swaying neckline and her collarbone...

"It's this black one! See it!" Nono felt that there was no need to hide it from Emiya. It would be more appropriate to say that only Emiya could confirm this matter. After all, it was Emiya who killed Odin.

"...Ah, I'm really impressed by you. I saw it, and then what?"

Nuonuo's voice seemed to be brewing a low mood. "Do you think this hole is similar in size to the one made by Odin's gun?"

"Ok?"

When Emiya heard her mention Odin, he finally confirmed that Nono was not crazy. He carefully observed the black mark... If it was pierced by Gungnir, it should indeed be this size.

"Queshi, you're right."

After coming to a conclusion, Emiya quickly closed Nono's open collar and quickly buttoned all the buttons back in place...

He was afraid that the situation that happened with Jiude Mai would happen again, where there would be a surprise inspection outside the door and someone would jump in immediately and see the two of them in this state.

"Can you feel anything?"

Nono shook her head. She knew what Emiya wanted to ask. "I don't feel anything. It's as if this black mark doesn't exist, but there's a high probability that it was left by Odin... Simply profiling this thing won't reveal any more information."

Emiya crossed his arms, pondering for a moment before suddenly proposing a hypothesis he had already suspected:

"Do you think... Odin is not dead?"

Because he was considering that some people were really difficult to kill, and many of Type-Moon's methods could achieve a high degree of immortality, without relying on non-human blood, and could work just by relying on magic or the like.

For example, Matou Zouken, as long as the main body of the seal worm is not dead, even if the body that moves outside dies, it can continue to live...

As soon as he finished speaking, Nuonuo's expression changed immediately.

If Odin is truly dead and no longer exists in this world, why would he leave behind a strange mark? If he's not dead, then everything makes sense!

Boom!

Horrible memories began to flash back. It was a dark night with heavy rain and huge thunder falling from the sky.

The god, with the aura of death swirling around him, was surrounded by a huge army of the dead, like a galaxy of stars. He urged his eight-legged horse on and swung his spear at will, knocking her down to the ground as if she was blocking his way, just like sweeping away ants trying to shake a tree.

Odin is not dead, he will come back sooner or later!

Nuonuo unconsciously clenched her teeth, a slight rustling sound between her lips and teeth. Her sensitive nerves were once again aroused by those dark memories. If that god appeared before her again...

At this moment, warm hands covered her head.

"It's okay, don't worry too much," Emiya said with a soothing smile, "If he shows up a second time, I'll kill him again."

This wasn't just a simple consolation. Rather, Odin's last target was Emiya himself. In comparison, Nono seemed more like a discarded piece that Odin had casually discarded. It was hard to imagine that if Odin returned again, he wouldn't be his first target.

Nono felt the warmth of the person in front of her through his long, soft, red hair, and thought of his image and strength, and suddenly relaxed. She blinked, thought of something, and slowly reached out to push away Emiya's hand covering her head, saying:

"No, the next time 'He' appears, I want to...try revenge myself. So, can you help guide me, that...magic?"

----

The day of departure finally arrived.

Although they had agreed to leave, it was only on the pretext of an outing. Wa Zhu seeing them off would have aroused suspicion, so the handover and farewell between the several people was still completed in the main hall inside the Zhou family.

Furthermore, Emiya and Old Tang even retained their original positions within the Zhou family... in other words, they were just nominal employees. Old Tang was overjoyed at this "long paid vacation" - it was all thanks to Emiya.

As for Nono, after much explanation from Emiya, she finally dispelled her doubts about the Zhou family. At the moment of parting, she expressed her sincere gratitude and polite greetings, and established a preliminary friendly relationship with the Lord Wa...

Thank you @坤鹏鹏飞@书友20190811220614952@划时断世@漠羽辰歌@xthrhi@銀枝@倚剑望云归@d集結号... and 25 other readers for their monthly tickets!

Chapter 77 Damn, he got it

The Regent Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in this southeastern city - the city where Lao Tang had agreed to meet his online friend - a global chain with five stars.

The luxury suites on the upper executive floors of the hotel are expensive and decorated in a classic modern style. The sofa seats under the off-white walls are decorated with calfskin and inlaid with semi-precious stones. There is also a small ornamental flower bed outside the wooden trusses.

This is a large modular suite. The transparent lighting on all sides fills the room with warm sunlight like a thin golden glow, dispelling the damp water vapor and shadows in the corners.

This series of configurations and luxuries would have discouraged Old Tang in the past.

Not to mention the past, even now, it would be painful for Old Tang to pay to live in this place for a long time.

But Shirou Emiya solved everything with a Visa black card given to him by a certain great leader.

Old Tang was shocked to hear about what happened to Shirou a few days ago. He praised him generously and then praised the strong financial reserves of the Holy Church.

In fact, Emiya saw that on this black card, as long as the monthly consumption did not reach a certain level, it could be offset by the automatic repayment limit of the Knights Order. He thought it would be a waste not to use it, so he opened a combination suite of the highest consumption level for them.

"But... if it's just the few of us living here, it feels like it's too big."

Emiya scratched his head. The combined suite was divided into several single rooms with private bathrooms. When he came in, he felt that it was even bigger than when he was at Zhou's house. Adding the living room, balcony, flower garden, etc. outside, the whole apartment looked spacious.

He turned on his device and logged into the chat room he hadn't seen in a long time. A large number of 99+ historical messages flashed by -

Being largely free from material worries, he actually had no need to go online to this place. Although he still vaguely remembered that this was a place built on the strength of his connections in the Hunter Network, Emiya felt that he probably would have few opportunities to be a mission machine.

However, online group chats are another matter. They are a unique instinct of modern people, similar to the habit of never leaving your phone.

"Hahaha, let's celebrate! This time I must break free from the old man's clutches and go to school in the Clock Tower!" Miss Charlotte solemnly announced in the group at this time.

The excitement could be felt through the screen, but Emiya was certain that Charlotte only dared to speak arrogantly in the group.

The old man in the eldest daughter's family always assigns strict homework, which makes her miserable. Everyone in the group understands this, but she doesn't seem to have made any effective resistance... Occasionally, she will have a flash of inspiration and come up with the idea of ​​training Mercury AI to help with homework.

Maybe the truth is that Charlotte begged and pleaded at home to go out, but was righteously rejected by her parents who pushed her too hard. Charlotte was left with no other choice and secretly planned to run away from home alone.

Emiya couldn't help but remind him, "I understand you want to go out, but the Clock Tower might not be the place you imagine to run away from home."

"Oh! You, the traitorous housekeeper, finally show up?" Charlotte also made a grinning expression, and it was unclear whether she was really happy or sarcastic.

"Let me tell you... My grandfather also talked about that place recently. He specifically told me to inherit his position honestly and not to go to the Clock Tower. Humph~, am I such a well-behaved and obedient person?"

Charlotte recalled her grandfather's serious expression.

Grandpa said Westminster Abbey suddenly announced the establishment of a new Clock Tower College, which will soon begin recruiting students. This is definitely to compete with the Secret Party for future students in Europe. As a family on the board of directors, we must stay away from it and take precautions...

Ha! Isn't that better?

If she is sent to Kassel in the future, she will always be under the control of the old man, but as long as she goes to the Clock Tower, that place will no longer be under the control of the secret party, and the old man will not be able to go in and arrest people at will.

Charlotte happily imagined the future. After seeing Emiya's reminder, she felt that it made sense. She really needed to make more preparations. At the very least, she had to forge a good identity to prevent her family from discovering her whereabouts immediately...

"Okay! I've made my decision!"

"What have you decided?"

"Traitor butler! I'll give you one more chance to reconcile. Come to the Clock Tower with me to go to school. Yes, you, as my servant!"

Emiya was speechless when he saw Miss Charlotte grinning. "Excuse me, Miss, how old are you? As a child, have you got your family's permission to go out?"

"What do you care? Of course I'm an adult!" It seemed that some sensitive words were triggered, causing her to get angry instantly.

OK, confirmed, not an adult.

And there is still a big gap between their mental state and that of adults.

Emiya gave a polite sneer and tapped away at the keyboard, "Miss, I suggest that while we execute Plan A and run away from home, we also prepare Plan B and Plan C..."

"What's Plan B and Plan C?" Charlotte looked confused.

"Plan B is what to do if you get caught on the way out of the house? How do you avoid being beaten up by your grandfather? Plan C is what to do if you're planning to sneak into the clock tower but get caught midway. How do you avoid being beaten up by your grandfather? Actually, you also need Plan D and Plan E..."

"By the way, Miss, do you need me to send you some Noble Phantasms? My skills have been improving recently, and I've rubbed many ancient swords with built-in effects. I suggest you bring some for self-defense. Even if you don't need to fight the enemy, you can still prevent Grandpa from beating you up..."

In short, I was beaten up, right?

Charlotte gritted her teeth in hatred. This traitorous butler still didn't think I could successfully rebel against my grandfather... I, Charlotte Gottingen, will remember this grudge.

At the same time, her eyes flushed with envy, because it seemed that the other party's alchemy technology had penetrated deeply into the concept of the "Seven Kingdoms", and she, a daughter of a famous family, didn't know whether she could get a glimpse of it in her lifetime.

Emiya unintentionally showed off a few words like this, which were top-notch Versailles that other alchemy laymen in the group could not understand, but Charlotte understood it at a glance.

It was just like two ordinary business owners interacting with each other. One of them was struggling to build his business, his tears soaking his pork trotter rice, and he vowed to make tens of millions.

Suddenly, another person showed the total assets on his phone screen and said that he was actually a top-tier Forbes rich list person. He said he was sorry to do business with him, but just wanted to make friends and experience life with him.

She was inevitably shocked to the point that her worldview was shattered, and her emotions were rising rapidly, almost to the point of burning inside and fuming... Then, the eldest lady let out a surge of anger, and she was ready to vent it all over the Internet.

But in the blink of an eye, the other party suddenly went offline again.

"..."

Charlotte punched empty space... No, her punch went empty before she could even attack.

Damn it, don't think you can always suppress me! Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully a poor girl!

I must go to the Clock Tower in the future, at least to make a name for myself as a "child prodigy"!

Chapter 78: Jörmungandr, do you know about the Holy Grail War?

"What are you doing?" Nono saw Emiya's mouth curled up, as if he was inexplicably amused by something on the screen.

"Nothing, just entertaining a little sister." Emiya switched the page with a shortcut key.

"Who is the little sister?"

Nuonuo didn't understand. She was holding a cell phone in one hand and messaging with Wazhu.

Wa said they were going out on a mission and needed to produce a regular mission report. Originally, Emiya was supposed to do it, but Nono volunteered to take over the job and then openly chatted with Wa.

After they cleared up the misunderstanding, they seemed to be able to communicate with each other in a relaxed manner like normal friends.

But Emiya always felt that there was something unusual here. After all, girls were those strange creatures who could open five groups even though there were only four of them...

"By the way, are you still adapting to the magic circuit today? How is it going?"

"Well, the situation... is okay?" Nono stretched out an arm, and the magic power surged through a large number of magic circuits. When it was suddenly activated, the circuits in her body showed patterns on her body surface for a moment.

Those are bright red lines.

Nono showed it several more times and it was still the same.

Emiya stared at Nono's arm, his expression normal, but his heart was not at peace.

He sensed something was amiss with that look just now; the number of circuits far exceeded the average level. Unlike Old Tang and his amazing circuit efficiency, Nuonuo's was an anomaly in terms of the number of circuits.

Considering the Chen family’s unknown “Frigga” plan, does this mean that Nono’s body underwent unknown experimental adjustments, leading to this abnormal result?

Emiya knew of someone who was similar. Through countless magical manipulations, she had acquired an overwhelming number of circuits compared to the average magus—Illyasviel von Einzbern.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a little nervous. Odin had indeed used a method that looked like necromancy to transform the army of Deadpools. "Summoning Heroic Spirits" was actually considered within the scope of necromancy... Don't let Old Tang get it right.

"Are you feeling okay?" Thinking of this, Emiya asked with some concern.

Nono thought Emiya was asking about the mark left by Odin, so she shrugged, "It's the same as before, I don't feel anything."

"Then let's practice as usual, just like before."

Nono responded enthusiastically, the magic circuits in her legs brimming with magic power. Then, touching the ground with her toes, she stood up, spinning her body lightly like a ballroom dancer. With a single leap, she leaped from one end of the vast room to the other.

This was her practice. To control the excessive output of her immense magical power, she used only minimal magical power to strengthen her limbs, leaping around the room like a red elf.

As swift as a swift and as silent as a falling leaf.
