Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Before he could react, his vision blurred, and he found that Medea in the distance had disappeared. The world was like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing, and Medea, who had been far away just moments before, suddenly appeared in front of him.

Although Roland already knew that Medea could use a spatial teleportation technique similar to instantaneous teleportation all by herself, seeing it with his own eyes still gave him a particularly unreal feeling, as he had always lived by common sense.

However, Medea already had her arms around his neck.

No matter how unreal the scene before you may seem, the weight you feel on your body is always real.

Moreover, as Medea's breath hit his face, Roland also heard her voice.

"I ran into you just when I was supposed to be leaving... Perhaps this is fate, a stroke of luck, but also a great deal of misfortune..."

After Medea casually set up an interference barrier, she also discovered that Roland possessed magic, and that the amount of magic was not small.

So at this moment, when Medea was lying helplessly on Roland, she, who was shorter than Roland, stood on her tiptoes to fill the last bit of distance between them as they looked at each other.

After that, she whispered to Roland.

"Then, please lead me a little further."

Medea pounced on him, then fainted, surrendering herself to Roland's control.

If Roland knew how to make a contract with a Heroic Spirit, he might have been able to use the contract to allow Medea to continue participating in the Holy Grail War.

But Roland knew absolutely nothing about magic.

Therefore, at this point, we can only use the method of Souichirou Kuzuki from the original development.

That is the most basic and original method.

Roland then carried Medea, who was already showing signs of fading, to a secluded spot and used this method to replenish Medea's mana, who was about to leave the stage, and also signed a contract with her.

......

2. Medea tried to believe

When Roland opened his eyes again, he felt

"The sunlight is so bright."

Before this, Roland wasn't exactly a model citizen, but he had never actually stayed overnight in the wild, let alone engaged in any kind of outdoor combat.

But now, as he straightened his clothes and looked at Medea lying beside him, his expression suddenly became complicated.

This is at the foot of the mountain where Ryudong Temple is located; there's definitely no one going to watch here.

Not to mention that this place is remote and Roland specifically chose a secluded spot, the barrier that Medea set up before she fell into a coma was enough to shield most of the problems.

He wasn't dirty at all. Although Roland didn't know how Medea managed to do it, he, who had been lying on the ground with Medea just moments before, had no dirt on him, his clothes weren't dirty, and there wasn't a single insect in sight.

It was as if he hadn't just taken a nap here, but had only arrived during his morning exercise.

Perhaps this is one of the effects of the barrier left behind by Medea.

Medea, lying on the ground, had her eyes closed. Roland had covered her with her magician's robe, but he had removed the hood from her head.

At this moment, she was like the purest ray of sunlight, shattered by the leaves above.

Pure white, sacred, and sweet with morning dew.

The morning breeze brushed against her cheeks, and the eyelashes above her closed eyes fluttered gently in the wind, like the curved wings of a bird.

In the anime, Medea always wore heavy witch makeup, but Roland only realized last night when he lifted her hood that Medea in his arms wasn't wearing any makeup.

She looks less alluring like a witch, but more noble and refreshing like she was when she was still a princess.

Her appearance, combined with those pointed ears, made her, lying on the ground and sheltered by the trees, look like a forest sprite.

Seeing her like this, Roland found a rock, sat on it, and waited for Medea to wake up.

He really didn't expect to run into Medea yesterday.

What I didn't expect was that Medea had just betrayed her previous Master yesterday and ended up here.

And then the other party reached a contract with me in this way...

Thinking about what happened last night, Roland really didn't know how to tell Medea when she woke up.

After all, after Medea took the initiative to pounce on me yesterday, she probably discovered that I had the aptitude of a magician, or that I was one of the Masters and had not summoned a Heroic Spirit, so she gave me the right to decide whether or not to sign a contract with her.

If he were truly a magician, even one at the level of Waver from the last Holy Grail War, then considering that Medea seemed to have set up some kind of spell before she fell unconscious, Roland figured her plan was for him to sign a contract with her, then use the spell she left behind to shield the magical fluctuations of the contract, and then take the opportunity to leave with Medea and return to his magic workshop...

Unfortunately, Roland didn't even know a single magic trick.

Moreover, Medea had already begun to show signs of fading away by then. If he wanted to sign a contract with Medea, he could only do so using the method of Kuzuki Souichirou.

After all, Roland really didn't know of any other way to get her to sign a contract and keep her from leaving.

Of course, Roland wasn't the kind of guy who would pretend to be innocent after something happened.

He must admit that he did not feel any resistance when he did it.

but...

As Roland thought of this, he recalled the crimson blush that he had also covered with Medea's robe.

That shouldn't be the case!

Medea and Jason even had children together!

Shouldn't she be portrayed as a single, married woman?

Thinking about this, and considering that Medea didn't have that witch makeup on her face, Roland, who had played the FGO game, actually thought of Medea as a princess.

But yesterday, she gave me a completely different feeling from the young Medea!

Not to mention that the fact that she would appear here in this state means that she must have left her previous Master... Whether it was a betrayal or not, at least she severed her contract with her previous Master and retained the ability to act independently for a certain distance.

This requires a Noble Phantasm capable of severing contracts: the All-Encompassing Breaker.

The young Medea shouldn't have this Noble Phantasm.

After all, this Noble Phantasm is the manifestation of the legend of the betraying witch.

That's why Roland finds it strange now!

She was also a little unsure how to talk to Medea when she woke up.

Roland felt his thoughts were somewhat confused.

His thoughts had been wandering since last night, and also to the upcoming Fifth Holy Grail War...

Roland was suddenly drawn into the Holy Grail War.

He also knew that the Greater Grail had been corrupted.

So although he is a Master, he actually has almost no desire for the Holy Grail. If he had to say one, it would probably be that he intends to survive the Holy Grail War.

This was his sole purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War.

However, looking at Medea lying on the ground, Roland raised an eyebrow.

If he remembered correctly, Medea's original plan was to bypass the corrupted Greater Grail, and after a sufficient number of Servants had left the stage, use the Lesser Grail to ensure she wouldn't be eliminated after the Holy Grail War, allowing her to remain...

Just as Roland was thinking this, some movement suddenly came from Medea, who was lying on the ground.

Roland would never have noticed under normal circumstances, but he had been watching Medea closely from the very beginning. Just now, Medea's eyelids twitched noticeably a few times, and then her breathing became much more rapid from its original rhythm before returning to its original rhythm.

Roland, noticing this, sighed softly.

"You're awake."

Hearing Roland say this, Medea, who knew she had been discovered, slowly opened her eyes.

She had sensed her condition beforehand, so she didn't sit up directly. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Roland with a rather complicated expression, without saying a word. So, Roland took the initiative to speak.

"Although I was chosen by the Command Seals and became one of the participants in the Holy Grail War, I am not actually a magus. I don't even know a single spell, and I don't even know if I can supply you with enough magical energy... So, under those circumstances, the only way I could form a contract with you, as far as I know, was through such a brutal method."

Upon hearing Roland's explanation, Medea was taken aback for a moment, and then although her eyes were still very complicated, they were less aggressive.

At this moment, Roland also stood up from the stone.

"This must be inconvenient for you, so please put your clothes on first..."

Roland turned around, his back to Medea, intending to leave temporarily so that Medea could put on her clothes.

However, after Roland turned away, he sighed and spoke again.

"I don't know your plans, and I'm not going to make any big statements at this time... After all, although I am the Master, my understanding of magic and the Holy Grail War is probably not as good as yours."

"But now that I've brought things this far, I'll do my best to do what I can, or what you need me to do... It's not something to look forward to, but let me know if there's anything I can help with."

"Saying I'll take responsibility is a bit presumptuous, but I'll help you, which is also helping myself."

After saying these words, Roland walked to a slightly farther location under Medea's gaze.

Medea slowly sat up only after confirming that Roland hadn't been peeking. Looking at Roland's figure standing in the distance, she didn't know what to do next.

She is a pathetic person who would give everything for the person she is infatuated with.

She is a humble person who, once she makes a decision, will dedicate herself to it to the very end.

Her values ​​during her teenage years were constantly telling her that this was who she was.

Her memories from her witch days constantly reminded her of the consequences of her actions.

She carries the legends, magic, magical power, and memories of her witch days while in her girlhood state, and this state brings her benefits.
