Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

After the houses were built, everyone no longer had to worry about rest or storing their prey. Ritsuka's suggestion was met with great enthusiasm, and even the magical girls had to wave their wands and struggle to fill their stomachs!

Then, not long after the collective mobilization—

"I'm sorry, Master. I really should have learned more about survival."

Little Eggplant lowered her head in repentance, her flushed face almost buried in her chest: "My results were almost zero...so little that I could only bring back Fufu, who happened to be taking a walk nearby."

"? Fu, Fu!?"

"Fufu seemed to suddenly realize something and started struggling," Shuoyue said with a smile.

Mashu realized the ambiguity in her words and quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Ah, no, no, Fou! I brought Fou here just to keep everyone entertained, or rather, to liven things up! It's definitely not because I wanted you to become a calorie!"

Unfortunately, Fou had already broken free from Mashu's embrace and, at Sakugetsu's urging, jumped into his arms.

"Oh, so good~~" Shuoyue skillfully hugged the white little beast and gently stroked its fur. The comfortable touch made him squint his eyes and look very content. "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've petted a cat, although Fufu isn't exactly a cat."

As they were talking, Shuoyue took out a snack from her bosom, tore open the packaging, and handed it to Fufu to eat.

……

……

……

Wait, something seems off.

"Mr. Shuoyue?!" Mashu's eyes widened. "Why do you have food?!"

"Hmm? Didn't I say?" Shuoyue opened a bag herself and gave Mashu an innocent look. "Mashu, do you want some?"

"Please give me a copy... no, that's not the point, is it?"

"I'm just going back to get it. Unlike you guys who were stranded on a deserted island, I came here on my own initiative, you know?" The young man tossed Mashu a bag of cookies and smiled. "Of course, compared to bringing big bags of things from the original world to have a picnic here, it's much more fulfilling to build everything from scratch, bit by bit, isn't it?"

“Hmm, that’s true…” Mashu was taken aback by Sakuyue’s deception, but Ritsuka wasn’t fooled. As a righteous Master, she had already seen through Sakuyue’s true nature.

"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to be a free deliveryman, delivering supplies for us all day long, right? Besides, seeing the heroic spirits struggling to make a living, their troubled expressions are indeed interesting, no, it's a pity."

"Isn't that your reason for not exposing me?"

"That's right, hehe, quick, Shuoyue, give me a bottle of vodka!"

"Minors can't drink alcohol. Don't look at me. I won't give you orange juice either. Just go hunting with them."

"Hey, why is this happening—no, you have to come too!"

"Dream on! I'm here on vacation, not... Huh? Wait, don't come any closer!"

Amidst screams, Sakugetsu, whose strength was B, was grabbed by the hem of Ritsuka's clothes and dragged away from the courtyard with one hand.

Mashu watched in stunned silence.

"When did you and Mr. Shuoyue become so close?"

"Perhaps it's because we share the same bad habits," Draco murmured, appearing out of nowhere.

"In short, Mr. Sakugetsu will be going hunting with us, so please take good care of him!" Ritsuka clasped her hands together and gave the Servants a playful smile.

"The number of people has suddenly increased... five people, but it's okay. Fishing by the river is less boring when there are more people."

Cú Chulainn carried his fishing rod like a long spear, his face completely indifferent.

Beside him were Ritsuka, Sakuzuki, Tamamo-no-Mae... and Miyu.

"Why is Miyu fishing too?" Sakuyue's mood, which had been a bit sour, brightened instantly. She squatted down and tried to tease Miyu, but Miyu ruthlessly slapped her away.

"It's just a matter of preparing food."

"Actually, it's because none of the three kinds of fruit that Miyu picked were edible, and Ilya couldn't stand it, so..."

"Blue, sapphire!"

"I'm very sorry, Miyu-sama, but I believe this is information that must be provided to others, such as the fact that fruit should not be eaten casually..."

Ilya must be in a terrible situation. Given Miyu's personality, she'll definitely be the first to get her hands on the fruit.

As for Sapphire, although she has a quiet personality, she is exactly the same as her sister (Ruby) when it comes to her wicked sense of humor.

Chapter 349 Seeing Through the True Name: New Moon and Christmas Eve

The fishing went smoothly, except for Cú Chulainn's elder-like remarks which prompted Tamamo to say something like, "Hey! You should say that to Scáthach! Then go die!" Miyu unexpectedly had a good catch, and the others also had their own catches.

"Phew... I've rested enough." Shuoyue pulled up her fishing rod, and a fish leaped out of the water, tracing a perfect arc before landing in the basket. The young man stood up, handed the half-basket of fish to the scratching Ritsuka, patted her shoulder with a smile, and left gracefully.

"He... he's gone already?" Tamamo-no-Mae twitched her fox ears, asking curiously, "I have a feeling he's just reporting back to you, Master?"

“That’s right, after all, I dragged him here.” Ritsuka chuckled as she hugged the fish basket, as if she were holding her dinner for the day. “He’s different from us. We were here because of an accident during the spirit transfer, but he came here on his own initiative. Our mindsets are different.”

"Mr. Sakugetsu came here by himself?" Miyu exclaimed in surprise, ripples spreading across the water. "But why? Because of Miss Draco?"

The close relationship between Draco and Luna is obvious to anyone with eyes, so Luna came into this world for Draco's sake?

"No, how could that be?" Ritsuka waved her hands repeatedly, her gaze towards Miyu carrying a strange meaning. "Why would you think that someone who doesn't need to sleep or eat... someone whose aura even makes Miss Artoria wary, needs Mr. Sakuzuki to worry about?"

She, Fujimaru Ritsuka, is the Master who saved humanity. If anyone thinks she is just a passionate girl, then they are being incredibly foolish.

Those invisible inferences and arguments had already been subtly woven into her actions like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain. Five days was enough for the intelligent Ritsuka to see through them.

Without any pretense, Ritsuka spoke directly:

"I came here for you, Miyu, and your companions. Haven't you realized it yet? If Sakugetsu really harbors hostility towards you, even with my protection, you won't be able to escape this island."

A chill ran through her, and Miyu couldn't help but shiver, finally seeing the truth beneath the warm atmosphere.

Ritsuka once asked Sakugetsu about his magic level, and Sakugetsu's answer was A+.

That is a power comparable to magic, a might that even top-tier heroic spirits must take seriously.

Displacement magic can transfer them away without anyone noticing, while projection magic has unimaginable destructive power; once a large number of Noble Phantasms are projected, even magical girls cannot resist.

Not to mention Shuoyue's unfathomable magical power.

"So, when you and Tamamo-no-Mae asked about the New Moon Magic, Ritsuka-san..."

"Migu~ You got it right, Miyu! Although it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, Master cooperated very well with me!"

Tamamo gave a smug "V" sign. As a fox who was most skilled at deception, how could she easily entrust her trust to an unknown person who had displayed terrifying combat power and cut the demon boar in two?

But that's precisely why Ritsuka has things she doesn't understand.

"Miyu, I remember Illya saying that there are two new moons in that world, right? Could you tell me about the identity and appearance of the other new moon?"

"Hmm?" Miyu, unsuspecting, continued, "He was a priest the size of a child, with white hair, golden eyes, skilled in using the black keys, and always wearing a black robe..."

"Stop! Does Father Shuoyue have vertical pupils?"

"Yes, yes... Ah!" Ritsuka's words were like a fog, clearing away the truth that Miyu had not yet discovered.

Because of her body shape, Miyu naturally assumed that this new moon was not the same as the new moon, especially when she was with the class-specific Servants, the appearance of Father New Moon and the young man in his incarnation further reinforced this perception.

But how could she ignore the identical white hair and golden vertical pupils... as well as the mysterious person's personality, or rather, state, which was so similar to the current Shuoyue?

In the world of magic, changing body shape is not difficult at all!

"I'll tell Ilya right away!" Miyu jumped up, forgetting all about the fish, and hurriedly ran towards the camp.

Watching Miyu's retreating figure, Tamamo-no-Mae casually flicked her fishing rod: "Speaking of which, Master, how did you find out? I was a class class back then, so I could see that Sakumoku had cast a spell on herself at an extremely fast speed and became suspicious. But Ritsuka, you probably didn't notice, did you?"

"Of course I didn't see it, after all, I don't have much talent for magic. But Shuoyue's magic is nothing more than a trick that blinds you with a leaf. If you take the time to review it a few more times, you can see through Shuoyue's half-hearted disguise."

"Hey, I didn't realize you were so cool in this aspect, Master."

"What are you saying, Tamamo-chan? Master is handsome at all times! Of course, it's also thanks to Master Kongming's excellent teaching, hehe..."

Having satisfied his fishing cravings, Sakutsuki was naturally unaware that Ritsuka had so quickly revealed his identity, or perhaps he wouldn't care even if he did. At this moment, he was experiencing the dull ache that he would inevitably feel sooner or later when he was with the ahoge (cowlick), or perhaps... the enlightenment from the Knights of the Round Table.

"I see. That's why you called me along, since it's harder to manage if there are too many prey."

On the way back to camp, she was called away by the ahoge and brought to the jungle. Sakuyue looked at Mash, Kiyohime and Artoria present and nodded thoughtfully.

"If we're talking about being self-sufficient in this area, hunting is definitely the first thing that comes to mind. So what should we do? Let Mash go after the prey, and I'll snipe it when it escapes?"

Upon seeing Sakugetsu, Kiyohime reverted from a snake to a little white lamb, cowering behind Mashu and trembling. Left with no other choice, Sakugetsu had to take on her responsibility.

“No, let me try this one. It’s been a long time since I’ve hunted, I want to warm up.” Artoria declined Sakumo’s suggestion.

Is our king going to take action personally?

Because so much time had passed, Shuoyue had forgotten most of the details. Before realizing the danger, he remained in that lazy posture, casually leaning against the tree trunk.

"Then I entrust this to you, my king."

"Hmm." Even though she was somewhat prepared, Artoria still felt a jolt, but she could tell that she didn't resist being addressed like that, so she slowly drew her holy sword. "Hunting is a knight's hobby, especially for me now. I won't let any prey escape."

At this point, she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic: "Although it would have been even more foolproof if my reliable horses, Ramree and Don Starion, and my hound Kavas were all here."

"Don't worry, my king, there are only ordinary wild beasts here. Look, there's a deer at the foot of that mountain over there," said Shuoyue lazily. Artoria then drew her sword with a 'whoosh,' and just as Shuoyue thought she was going to give chase, she heard the ahoge (a type of hair sticking up) proudly proclaim the true name of the Noble Phantasm:

"???"

"Pause?! Pause?!?"

"What's the problem?" Artoria obediently deactivated her Noble Phantasm, looking on with curiosity.

Even Mashu couldn't help but complain this time: "What do you mean, 'Is there a problem?' What exactly is Ms. Artoria planning to do?!"

"Hmm? I just think the view from the foot of the mountain isn't very good, making it easy for prey to hide in the forest. So, it would be better to take a shot first to open up the surrounding area." The guy with the ahoge still had that bewildered expression. "I don't always do this, you know. I just feel that sometimes I should do it... Is this impolite or is there any other problem with it?"

"This is far beyond a matter of etiquette! Why didn't anyone around you tell you this?!" Shuoyue was completely speechless.

Hey knights (hosts), what on earth are you doing?! Were all those plains in southern Britain cleared out by those ahoge?!

"How is this possible? Has it gotten that serious?"

Artoria was stunned. "Agrave, who accompanied me on the hunt, always stared with dead fish eyes and praised, 'As expected of His Majesty. He really gave it his all,' and kept clapping his hands. Was that just polite talk?"

"It's less of a polite remark... how should I put it..." Mashu stared with dead fish eyes, her expression exactly the same as the scribe back then.

"The hunting grounds..." Kiyohime huddled behind her, muttering softly.

Unfortunately, Artoria once again displayed that irresistible little expression, making it impossible for anyone to point out her mistake.

"No, it's nothing." Shuoyue twitched her lips. "As expected of His Majesty the King, his entourage is truly grand."
