Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

"I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to those freaks from the Wandering Sea who are made from human bodies..." Shen Qiu silently swallowed the last bite of his sandwich. It was a well-known fact that the Wandering Sea was keen on applying alchemy to the human body.

As a result, the Wandering Sea has never had a good reputation among the three major branches of the Magicians' Association, and is regarded as a gathering place for freaks and madmen.

After quickly filling his stomach, Shen Qiu, along with his master and Dankabi, arrived at a hotel belonging to the Matou family. As a property of the Matou family, Shen Qiu was naturally warmly welcomed upon arrival and was immediately placed in the presidential suite on the top floor.

The way the hotel receptionist looked at me with my master and the single Karabi was really displeasing. The world is cold and people are no longer what they used to be. I risked my life for the Matou family’s descendants, and this is how these people who live off the Matou family see me?

Thinking about this, Shen Qiu felt indignant.

After settling Dankabi and his master in, the first thing Shen Qiu did was take a hot bath. Only when he was soaking in the bath could he feel that he was still alive.

"This is insane..."

Shen Qiu casually wrapped a bath towel around his legs, looked at himself in the mirror, and sighed. The person in the mirror had some of the charm of his original body, as well as the outstanding appearance of the Matou family with their mixed heritage.

Her light blue hair had grown quite long and was hanging down; it wasn't the kind of unkempt, seaweed-like hair that Shinji disliked, but rather very smooth.

It seems that because he eats well and exercises regularly, the thirteen-year-old boy is already 175 cm tall, and his upper body has the faint outline of abdominal muscles. Although he looks relatively thin, he is definitely the type who is muscular when he takes off his clothes.

The few scars on his fair skin were somewhat conspicuous, but they added a touch of masculinity to him.

"My Sharingan...."

After Shen Qiu opened his right Sharingan in front of the mirror, he was surprised to find that his Sharingan had evolved to the three-tomoe stage. During his training in magic, his mental strength had been steadily increasing, and with this mutual support, the speed at which his Sharingan advanced was unexpectedly fast.

As the pinnacle of the evolution of the ordinary Sharingan, he now possesses all the abilities of the ordinary Sharingan: [Insight], [Genjutsu], and [Copy]. Combined with runes and exceptional learning talent, his learning ability is now terrifying.

"What an enviable face, little Master."

While Shen Qiu was lost in thought looking in the mirror, his master suddenly spoke up. After turning around in a panic, he found Scáthach leaning against the door frame, smiling at him.

"I remember closing the door, Master. Although you may not care much, there is still a difference between men and women." Shen Qiu smiled wryly, even though whether he closed the door or not wouldn't affect the other person coming in.

After simply changing into a bathrobe, Shen Qiu just wanted to get a good night's sleep, but the thought of Matou Zouken lurking in the shadows, waiting for his chance, made him a cup of black coffee with a sense of helplessness.

"This old guy really knows how to torture people; he's probably a veteran torturer..."

"Single Karabi, please start searching for Zouken Matou now. Hmm... that guy covered in bugs that you saw when you were first summoned. You should already remember his scent."

Sitting quietly in his chair, Single Karabi nodded, then extended his right hand. After a burst of magical photons, dozens of black crows flew out of the window.

Just like the crows he had summoned before, it was an excellent tool for detecting and tracking enemies. It didn't need to eat or drink, or even rest—because it was made of magic itself.

The downside is that it is relatively small and fragile, making it easy to break.

"It will take about 10 hours," Dankalabi said softly after releasing the crow.

"Ten hours... I wonder if the barrier will be successfully imprinted on me, and if there will be enough time. Oh, by the way, Dankabi, is there anything you want? You haven't mentioned what you want since I summoned you."

At this moment, Shen Qiu suddenly realized something as if waking from a dream. He knew that the contract they had signed was an equal contract, not a slave contract. Dan Karabi was not a servant working for him without pay.

P.S.: Please give me some flowers! (crying emoji)

Chapter 58: Experimenting with Human Body Barriers (Seeking Flowers)

"I want something sparkly, red, blue, green..."

When the topic of payment came up, Dankalabi's face, which had been as unyielding as snow, finally showed some expression, no longer displaying its previous cold demeanor.

"Sparkling, all sorts of colors, you mean gemstones, right?" Only then did Shen Qiu recall that in mythology, the Dankabi was indeed a bird that liked to collect gemstones.

Dankabi nodded silently.

"That makes things easier. If you make some weird requests, like asking me to take off my clothes and run naked in the street... cough cough, just kidding."

Seeing the subtle look in his master's eyes, Shen Qiu quickly ended the conversation.

However, his concerns were not unfounded. After all, based on the equal contract, as long as the demands made by Dankabi did not exceed his ability, he had to do them, otherwise he would be cursed by the contract's inescapable nature.

"Gemstones? That's easy. Call Tsuru and ask him to buy a batch of high-quality ones from the boutique in Tokyo. Wait, speaking of gemstones, the Tohsaka family seems to have some of the world's top-tier gemstones, right?"

Thinking of this, Shen Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's important to know that the Tohsaka family's gems aren't ordinary gems; they're top-tier gems purchased from the mystical side that have the ability to store magical energy. According to the timeline, Tokiomi has probably already been stabbed in the back by Kirei Kotomine.

Given Tokiomi's personality, he's probably hoarded quite a few good things. Maybe he should get a batch of gems to give to Single Carabini after the Holy Grail War ends. But—

"Single Karabi, how much longer can you remain here in the mortal realm?" Shen Qiu suddenly remembered that the black-haired beauty seemed to have been here for a whole day, which was quite illogical for a familiar.

Because a familiar's magical power is limited, it will automatically leave when it is used up. Furthermore, familiars and Servants are completely different concepts. Masters can continuously supply magical power to Servants through the Holy Grail.

The familiar's magic power is fixed the moment it is summoned, and it will disappear immediately after it is used up.

"I will leave once you have completed your mission, Contractor."

He's practically a robot; his words are always concise and clear.

"Leave once the mission is complete. If I keep giving you missions and you keep doing them, wouldn't you be stuck here forever?" Shen Qiu joked.

“That’s not the case. I don’t know why, but the magic in this place is very abundant right now. It’s puzzling that there’s still a place with such abundant magic now that the mystery has faded.” As he spoke, Dankabi showed a puzzled expression.

"I see, no wonder..."

After a moment's thought, Shen Qiu figured out the reason: the Holy Grail War had activated the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City and the magical energy within the Greater Grail, causing some of it to leak out.

For ordinary people, and even magicians, it is extremely difficult to perceive this kind of magic power that is spread throughout nature, because most magicians produce magic power through their own magic circuits.

For a demon like Single Karabi, sensing the abundant magical energy in the air is no easy task.

"In that case, I estimate you'll be able to reappear in the mortal realm for a few more days. I'll give you the gem after a few days, how about that?"

Dan Karabi nodded.

"In that case, start imprinting the barrier on my body. I don't know what the specific process will be like, but I guess it won't be pleasant."

Shen Qiu gave a wry smile and took off his bathrobe. He had really gone to great lengths to deal with Zou Yan, and he just hoped that Zou Yan wouldn't come up with any more fancy tricks.

"Master, thank you for your help."

For some reason, Shen Qiu, who was only wearing shorts, felt a little embarrassed talking to his master, but it was probably because his body was precocious.

An unnatural blush appeared on Shen Qiu's face.

The master simply smiled without speaking, as if he sensed something, or perhaps he didn't know it, and raised his hand to trace a [Kh] symbol on Shen Qiu's smooth back.

In an instant, Shen Qiu felt all the fatigue in his body vanish. Compared to the runes he was using, his master's were many times stronger. The road to learning runes was indeed long and arduous.

"Singaporean, let's begin."

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and then spoke.

He was now prepared to endure the pain of the barrier spell. With his already well-trained body and the runes his master had given him, his physical strength was now comparable to that of Araya Sōren.

The black-haired girl didn't speak, but strange black flames began to emanate from her hands.

P.S.: Please send me more flowers QAQ. Today I saw a new author's new book with 5 words and over 6000 flowers, and I instantly became a jealous person. I've already reached 11 words and haven't even reached 2000 yet. I'm crying, sigh.

Chapter 59: Barrier: Black Moon Temple (Seeking Flowers)

"It didn't hurt as I expected?"

A peculiar black flame flickered on Dankabi's finger, but this flame did not cause Shen Qiu any burning sensation. Instead, she felt a warm, cozy feeling as she traced strange symbols on her body.

As Dankarabi drew more and more strange symbols on his body, Shen Qiu felt a strange sensation on his body, a feeling of heaviness and pressure that made him feel drowsy.

"You can't sleep."

The usually taciturn Shankabi suddenly said this:

"If you fall asleep, you'll be locked up over there and never come back."

Upon hearing the black-haired girl's words, Shen Qiu shuddered and quickly snapped out of it. He figured that what Dan Karabi said was true; this girl wouldn't joke around, and she wouldn't say anything unnecessary.

"However, Master, it is truly astonishing. I find it hard to believe that you would actually inscribe a barrier on your body. Such an action is rather insane and does not match my impression of you."

Scáthach was engrossed in reading a book of Celtic mythology. As the eldest son of the Matou family, Shen Qiu estimated that even if he wanted the moon, the hotel staff would try to get it for him, let alone a mere book of Celtic mythology.

“Master, you have no idea how much that old guy cherishes his life.”

Shen Qiu gave a wry smile and continued.

"His obsession with life far exceeds our imagination. If killing everyone in this city would allow him to continue living, then believe me, he would do it without hesitation."

Although it may seem like he's disparaging his so-called "grandfather," that's the truth about him.

"Life, oh life, eternal life is not a good thing, it's a curse." After hearing Shen Qiu's words, the master sighed. Is eternal life really as good as imagined? Perhaps not.

Her understanding of life is probably unparalleled; there are few others in this world who possess such profound insight.

"That's just how it is; what you can't have always seems more desirable. That guy has already gone a bit crazy."

Time passed slowly during the unhurried conversation. As the sun outside the window gradually transformed from the scorching midday sun to the western sunset, the Human Body Barrier Technique was completed with the final symbol drawn by the single Karabi.

"This really is..."

Shen Qiu was surprised when she looked at herself in the mirror. Her reflection was covered with strange, unintelligible symbols drawn with black "ink" from her neck down to her waist.
