Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

The android heard the blond man inhale softly, and seemed quite surprised. After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself:

"It seems necessary to ask them for clarification."

"Hmm, what did you say?" Astolfo didn't hear Chiron's whisper, and clearly the great sage didn't intend to let the paladin know his thoughts, so he turned to discuss the matter of the homunculus.

It seems like she's pursuing him.

"Haha, who cares?"

Astolfo smiled and raised his hands in the air. Although he sighed, he still believed that his judgment must be correct.

Indeed, winning on the battlefield is important, but the current situation doesn't warrant forgetting even the duties of a Heroic Spirit. Saving him and letting him go should be permitted and done, shouldn't it?

I'll leave this room for a moment. No one should come; even if someone knocks, don't answer.

"Thank you. Well then, please allow me to stay for a while."

Just before leaving the room, he suddenly turned around and spoke to the android:

Tell me your wish.

"Karon..."

“Call me Black.” Chiron, his gentle smile gone, now resembled a stern teacher, scrutinizing the newborn with a critical eye. “My room is not safe. As long as you remain in the fortress of Millenia, you will be discovered sooner or later—tell me, what is your wish?”

"Ah, of course—"

"Please don't speak. I'm questioning him. I need to see his soul and his will."

Whether they liked it or not, the moment Rokudo Reika handed the android over to Astolfo, the android was plunged into a treacherous vortex of struggle.

For a great sage, rescuing those in distress is a perfectly normal act. However, this time Chiron is drawing his bow as the Black Faction, and he must be responsible for Yggdrasil and his Master Fiore.

Perhaps the current android is still ignorant, immature, and confused, but it still has the power to think, to choose, and to decide its own destiny—this is the biggest difference between humans and props.

We can help you, but first you can't give up on yourself.

If you are not satisfied with the answer, I'm sorry, but as the strategist for the Black side, I must nip this risk in the bud.

Under Chiron's gaze, the homunculus began to ponder. Wishes, wishes, wishes—ultimately, did he even have the right to put his wishes into words? He possessed no power, no wealth, no accumulated history. He was merely a device for supplying magic… yet he had even abandoned that task.

However, even in that state, he harbored a desire incongruous with his status. It was a wish hidden deep within him, a dream. He never thought it could be realized. But, he reasoned, it should be alright to just talk about it.

He opened his mouth. Using vocal organs he had hardly ever used before, and despite the painful process, he managed to utter the 'wish'.

"Please help... help me."

Hearing this wish, her expression relaxed. She nodded slightly to the android, closed the door, and left. Then, she opened her arms and hugged the android tightly, replying in a lighthearted tone:

"I understand, I will save you."

For this android, how incredibly lucky he was to have encountered "Black Astolfo".

On the underground suspension bridge, through Little Jack's eyes, Shuoyue gazed at the magnificent Holy Grail.

Perhaps because it was rooted in Romania, the shape of the Greater Grail changed—it no longer had the simple shape of a large golden cup, but instead featured three statues carved with the Winter Maiden, like works of art, as if trees were rooted in a golden shell.

But Shuoyue could still feel the familiar resonance and call. It was clear that even after spending sixty years, Danic had not been able to break through the Holy Grail system created by Machiri, Tohsaka, and Einzbern and modify its underlying permissions.

Otherwise, there would have been no Holy Grail War.

"Mommy Shuoyue, are you done? Jack wants to sleep with Mommy Lingxia."

Even the most novel scenery would become tiresome for a child, and deep in his mind, little Jack let out a faint protest.

"Shh, Jack is a good boy. You can come back as soon as Mommy Shuoyue... cough cough, Mr. Shuoyue is done with her work."

You were definitely thinking of talking about Shuoyue's mother, Lingxia!

On the other end, Shuoyue had a black line on her face. She blocked the interaction between Lingxia and Jack and continued to use her magic to interfere with the system of the Greater Grail.

Although it descends in the form of a certain identity, magic is not like martial arts, which requires countless repetitions to form muscle memory. Once you know it, you know it. As long as your consciousness and memory remain unchanged, you can perform it.

Of course, the same goes for magic.

Having fought with the Heaven's Cup in the Fourth Holy Grail War, Shuoyue had long since figured out the system of the Greater Grail. As long as the Third Law key was still there, no matter how much effort Yggdrasil put into adding disguises and concealments, Shuoyue could easily unlock the door and secretly get her hands on their 'treasure'.

Yggdrasil, your Greater Grail tastes really good!

In her attempt to use the third method, Shuoyue drew three conclusions.

Firstly, under the special circumstances of the Holy Grail War, the conditions for fully activating the Greater Grail remain unchanged—the input of seven Heroic Souls, and more if their classes are different.

Secondly, the Greater Grail cannot be taken away secretly. Although the Yggdrasil cannot unlock it, it does not prevent them from setting up alarms on the door—as long as the new moon pries open the Greater Grail, they will definitely sense it.

This means that the plan for the new moon to secretly take away the Greater Grail has failed.

As for the third conclusion, although he cannot take the Holy Grail with him, the new moon can secretly create an administrator (GM) account to delve into the underlying system of the Greater Grail.

While it's impossible for her to do something as outrageous as forcibly repatriating a Servant or adding Command Seals to herself, under certain conditions, she could designate a new Master, have the Holy Grail acknowledge her, and then bestow Command Seals upon her!

This is undoubtedly a good backup plan for the 'Blue' faction, which is short-handed.

"Although I didn't intend for outsiders to get involved, if it really comes to a last resort, then we'll use this authority..."

Just as Shuoyue was about to manipulate Little Jack back, a fluctuation suddenly appeared on Liudao Lingxia's side.

"What's wrong, Lingxia?"

"There's a knock at the door... Miss Artoria said it's Chiron the Black!"

Karon?

Why would the Black Sage come over so late at night?

Have Jack and I been discovered?

Although Shuoyue was startled, she remained calm and quickly gave instructions: "Disconnect and then open the door. Liudao Lingxia, do as rehearsed on the plane. We must not let Chiron become suspicious!"

That's the strategist of the Black Faction. If we had revealed our weakness in front of him from the beginning, Liu Dao Lingxia's future situation would have been extremely difficult!

"But... then Mr. Shuoyue's magic power won't be enough!"

As the intermediary between Shuoyue and Xiaojie sharing vision, Liudao Lingxia serves as a node for the flow of magic power. If she were to withdraw, Shuoyue would have to consume more than a hundred times the amount of magic power to connect with Xiaojie!

"There's no time! Hurry, I can always use Command Spells to replenish my mana!"

At her command, Liu Daolingxia's will was instantly unleashed. Shuoyue, sitting on a street lamp somewhere, let out a muffled groan, and her magic poured out into the distance like a floodgate being opened.

This damn constitution...

While cursing inwardly, Shuoyue remained outwardly calm, though she spoke much faster.

"Lingxia's mother is in danger, so little Jack, you need to try your best to cooperate with my rhythm."

"Okay, Mommy Shuoyue, little Jack will be good!"

Sensing the tense atmosphere, the little girl earnestly agreed, then transformed into a ghost once more and rushed upwards.

The golden, sacred light gradually faded, and Shuoyue did not turn back, but silently made a vow in her heart.

When we meet again, you will definitely belong to me.

The Great Grail.

dong dong dong.

dong dong dong.

Thump thump...creak.

Just as Chiron was considering whether or not to call out, the door was finally opened.

"Please come in, Your Excellency."

"Excuse me..." Chiron pushed open the door, not looking at Liu Daolingxia's smiling face, but quickly scanning his surroundings, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

The surrounding furnishings hadn't changed much, perhaps out of wariness of me. The black-clad figure held a long spear... and the Master of this figure still retained lingering magical energy.

Chiron, of course, had no idea what Liudao Lingxia and Shuoyue were doing in secret. Based on what Astolfo said, he deduced a guess that he thought was reasonable.

Was it the magic used to heal that android?

"May I ask what brings you here, sir?" Liu Daolingxia asked softly, interrupting Chiron's thoughts.

"Ah, I came here tonight to express my gratitude for your efforts in saving the androids."

"An artificial human?" Liu Daolingxia was taken aback, a hint of wariness flashing across her face. "How do you know this? Did you tell you?"

"Yes, because your room is not suitable for hiding, I brought the android to my room."

As Chiron spoke, he stole glances at Liu Daolingxia's expression.

After hearing Chiron's explanation, the woman, who was so beautiful that she didn't seem like a magician, first showed an expression of understanding, then unconsciously revealed a little anxiety... If Chiron hadn't been so perceptive, he would never have been able to notice this change.

Anxiety... It seems I was right. The Osarean representative's choice to save the homunculus was definitely not out of pity or kindness; otherwise, they should be thanking me.

So what are they planning to do next?

"Really... Thank you. Also, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, we should get some rest."

Before long, Lingxia's expression returned to normal. She thanked Karon and then quietly began to shoo him away.

Although the charade of hypnosis and psychological suggestion seemed to have fooled Chiron, it was best to get the great sage out of the room as soon as possible to prevent him from discovering any further clues.

However, Chiron did not leave.

"Taking this opportunity, I'd like to ask Miss Lingxia a few questions." Upon hearing this, an unpleasant pressure began to emanate from beneath the black robe, but the golden-haired sage seemed oblivious, staring directly at Lingxia as he spoke:

"Why would a family that broke away from Yggdrasil ten years ago return to help Yggdrasil at this critical juncture? You should already know that the Yggdrasil clan has declared war on the Mage's Association, right?"

"Do you really think the Thousand Worlds Tree can defeat the Magic Association?"

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I am just an executor sent by the family and I am not aware of the elders' considerations."

Liu Daolingxia's answer was flawless, but Chiron was clearly not satisfied with it and instead said:

"By the way, Lord Danic also said to give his regards to the elders of the Osare family, especially ▉▉▉·Osare. Before the Osare family left the World Tree, he and that gentleman had a very good relationship."

The moment Chiron uttered that name, not only did Artoria silently tighten her grip on the gun, but even Rokudou Reika was slightly taken aback.

They knew nothing of the name Chiron had spoken of.
