Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

As Luvia spoke, Sakura nodded in agreement, while Roland waved his hand.

"It's okay. I don't always do good deeds. Just this once, it's fine."

Hearing Roland say that, Luvia and Sakura thought it was just an excuse, so they still admired Roland's kind heart.

The android maids naturally didn't react to this, nor did Tiamat. In fact, Tiamat might even think that Luvia and Sakura were right!

Roland is such a kind-hearted child!

Sajō Aika watched all this with a smile, saying nothing.

Only Rin Tohsaka, walking beside Tiamat, truly understood Roland.

When Roland first arrived in Europe, she could guess that he wasn't there simply for the sake of the Dead Apostles.

Although she still didn't quite understand what Roland was planning to do to the Magic Association, there was one thing she was certain of—Roland's words just now were definitely not a lie.

He said that if he does good deeds just once, then it really is just once.

If he says it's nothing, then it must be nothing.

So when she saw Luvia's amazed expression, she secretly mocked Luvia for being such a golden diamond.

It's really you, naive.

Instead of worrying about Roland here, you should worry about the magicians who gathered outside earlier.

After all, Roland...

He never suffers a loss.

The Magic Association's plan against the Far East Magic Association is very simple.

However, even within such a simple plan, there are some details that require careful attention.

For example, how to guide Arcueid to Einzbern.

For example, if Arcueid, who is like a mobile natural disaster, really erupts, what if she, who doesn't intentionally target any specific person to kill, leaves any survivors behind?

So the high-ranking members of the Magic Association gathered together and assembled a secret operations team.

Then they were given the task of guiding Arcueid.

And they even got them to join in!

Exterminate all those members of the Far East Magic Association!

As for Aozaki Aoko, the fifth mage, and Einzbern, the third mage, it all depends on Arcueid—if this White Princess can create an opportunity, then kill her; if she can't, then ignore her.

But besides those two... well, besides Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Aratsumi.

Aozaki Touko is a family member of the Fifth Magician. If you can't mess with the Fifth Magician, it's best not to mess with her either.

Kuonji Yuzu is a friend of the Fifth Magician, and... she has a connection with Bartholomew of the Clock Tower!

The Bartholomew family is a lineage descended from the disciple of the First Mage, Yumina. Although they did not inherit the First Mage, they still owe Yumina a debt of gratitude.

As for the witch Kuonji Aratama... she is a descendant of the First Magician, Yumina.

Even the three fairytale monsters that Yumina used are in the hands of this Kuonji Yuju.

And apart from these few—it's best to kill the rest!

Let these magicians with special identities realize that the struggle between magicians is not a simple matter, but a very bloody one!

"Our mission is to eliminate them."

"As many of you may know, recently, in addition to our association taking action, the Far East Magic Association has also been trying to win over magic families on our turf."

"Hmph! If the Far East Magic Association had been holed up in a small place like the Far East, that would have been fine. Since they've already established themselves, they could have just admitted to being members of the Magic Association, and the Magic Association wouldn't have said anything—but they just had to come and play the good guys at this time!"

"They gave hope to those magic families, so let's extinguish that hope!"

The captain of the secret force dispatched by the Magic Association spoke these words to his team members, but after saying these strong words, he added some further details.

"Once we break into Einzbern, you all need to be more careful with your actions."

"Although we must extinguish the hopes of those magic families, neither our direct attack on the Far East Magic Association nor our luring of Hakuhime here can be made public—at least we must publicly insist that we did not do it, and we cannot leave any unnecessary evidence!"

"So apart from those few special cases, no one else can be let off the hook!"

Hearing their captain say that, the other team members all agreed.

However, as the captain, he knew that what these guys were showing was just a facade.

The Magic Association is, after all, an organization driven by self-interest.

Therefore, apart from the three branches of the Clock Tower, Atlas Institute, and Wandering Sea, the Mage's Association itself also has multiple factions at the top.

These factions each manage different departments.

Therefore, their purposes are naturally different...

So there's no guarantee that there won't be someone in the team who pretends to do someone a favor, and then lets them go after they've signed some contracts.

This won't do...

Because the faction he belongs to is the one that firmly supports making an example of someone to warn others!

So...

He had to cut off the escape route for these guys behind him from the very beginning.

He knew very well that it wouldn't be a big problem if a few people found out that the association was going to take action against the Far East Magic Association.

So even if you use a contract to keep it confidential, there may still be problems. But if it's just this one thing, letting a few go isn't a bad idea.

Although for a hardliner like him, leaving any survivors (except for special cases) would be a huge loss of face for the association and would make it easy for those with ulterior motives to see internal discord within the association, so it was absolutely unacceptable.

However, it is not absolutely unacceptable for other factions.

This leaves room for maneuver.

But the fact that they are intentionally guiding Shiro Hime, who seems to be a mobile natural disaster, to take the initiative makes this a big problem.

Because Bai Ji has been running rampant for some time and has caused a lot of trouble—the forces that were previously severely damaged by Bai Ji can only lament their bad luck and place all their hatred on Bai Ji.

But what if they find out that the association's members can guide Shirahime...?

So even if it wasn't the association that led it before, these guys, unable to afford to offend Bai Ji, will still transfer their hatred to the association.

Those magic families would feel an immediate sense of crisis and unite to resist the association.

The association's goal was merely to take advantage of the chaos, not to exterminate these magic families.

If this gets out, it will harm the interests of the entire association.

So if we want to cut off the retreat of these guys behind us...

With this in mind, the captain destroyed the Einzbern barrier, and even the walls of Einzbern Castle, and plunged directly into a huge reception room—the place where magicians were most concentrated, as detected by detection magic.

Then he looked at the magicians present and glanced around.

He didn't find any exceptions, so he grinned and started to smile.

“We’re here on behalf of the Magic Association to purge you. You’re doomed, because we’ve brought a guest with us, the White Princess, the mobile calamity that all of Europe is currently terrified of. We’re here to deal with you, and even if you manage to escape us, you won’t be able to escape the White Princess.”

"So, everyone here, please die!"

Upon hearing his grand declaration, the faces of the magicians who had just been discussing the matter and had been invited to the reception room by Einzbern immediately changed.

The magicians behind the captain also sharpened their gazes.

They did have their own ideas before, but now those ideas are gone.

After confirming that there were no exceptions among those present who could not be killed, they secretly cursed their leader as a madman!

But their escape route was indeed cut off!

so...

They're going to go all out now!

Anyone here who heard those words just now, don't even think about running away!

They couldn't even get them to pass on the information from here to those special targets!

These magicians from the Far East Magic Association... must all be killed!

....

57. Roland is not an exception.

Seeing that the team sent by the Magic Association was about to make their move, the magicians present became tense.

They don't want to die here!

As for whether the people of Einzbern betrayed them, and whether they will help now... these are things only the survivors can consider!

But just as they were thinking this, a pitch-black shadow covered the entire land, like a rising tide.

The shadow caused the Magic Association team to move back a bit, and they didn't step directly into the shadow's range until they figured out what kind of magic it was.

Roland then stepped out from the crowd under these circumstances.

"The Magic Association... I really didn't expect you to come directly to us and choose such a brutal way to solve the problem—but you should only be looking for us. These guys are here to discuss business because of the Einzbern relocation to the east. They are not involved. Let them go."
