Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

So--

I am no longer confused. Did you hear me clearly, Conqueror King?

24. Those things from back then

Iskandar had many intentions in proposing the Holy Grail Question.

As Medea said, he planned to reveal his true name and plot against the true names of other Servants after he had used all his Noble Phantasms.

There are also plans to first probe the beliefs and intentions of other Servants through debate, and then glean some information from it, or even take some action.

Just like in the FGO game, in his own personal space voice lines, his evaluation of Artoria includes his expression of this point.

Iskandar may appear careless, but he is actually a meticulous fellow in many ways.

However, none of the previous ones worked for Artoria.

Cú Chulainn's desire represents that he doesn't care about anything else. He doesn't have any of those messy thoughts at all. He's just here to enjoy the battle. His pursuit is to either kill others or be killed by others. He is a typical and pure warrior, and he is exceptionally determined. He doesn't allow anyone to interrupt him.

Medea's situation puzzled Iskandar.

He still doesn't understand what it means for a wish to be fulfilled.

As for Hassan the Hundred-Faced... her situation has nothing to do with wishes anymore. She's too determined. Faced with someone like that, no matter what her wish is, Iskandar won't bother to offer an opinion.

So it seems like only Artoria remains as a potential option...

Iskandar had initially thought that Artoria's wish might confuse her, which was why he seized the opportunity to say something. But now, for some reason, he felt like she was a student waiting for the teacher to give him a question... and a student who had done her homework in advance. It felt like she already knew what question he was going to ask!

She even kept answering the questions first!

She didn't even have the intention of pretending!

This left Iskandar somewhat bewildered.

He also did not intend to continue discussing this point.

Since he had fully realized that Artoria and Hassan the Hundred-Faced were probably the same, the topic could end after Artoria had said everything she wanted to say.

And since the other party is so determined... even if they are going to do something foolish, Iskandar will respect their foolishness.

"I see, then I accept you—let's end this topic, it's time for the next person."

Seeing Iskandar's expression, Artoria nodded. She had said what she needed to say, so that was that.

After saying these words, Artoria felt her thoughts were much clearer, so she returned to her original serious and calm demeanor.

Then everyone's attention turned to Roland and Aozaki Touko.

After all, although Bazett and Golden Wolf were also there, everyone basically assumed that they were just there to listen in.

Bazett is no longer a Master, and as for the Golden Wolf... this guy originally came here as Aozaki Touko's familiar, and I don't know if it's just my imagination, but after being beaten by Artoria, it seems to have become a bit like a husky in front of her, as if its brain has started to degenerate and it can't think about such complex issues at all.

And the two of them were also watching Roland and Aozaki Touko.

So now the only people we need to ask are Aozaki Touko and Roland.

They looked at each other, then Aozaki Touko sighed and spoke first.

"Let me speak first... I'm participating in the Holy Grail War partly because I'm simply interested in the technology the Holy Grail represents, but if I were to make a wish after obtaining the Holy Grail, I might wish for someone to awaken and regain their health."

The former might be the normal pursuit for a magician, but Aozaki Touko came here because of the latter.

She thought of that guy from the Ryougi family who had been asleep until now and hadn't woken up yet, and sighed slightly in her heart.

In recent years, my own magic society, Garan no Tsukai, has been finding it increasingly difficult to develop.

The magic society Kuon no Tori, which was founded by his younger sister and his friend, took over the twins of the Wujing family. After destroying the Tono family for this, they not only did not become enemies with the Tono family, but also supported Tono Akiha from their society to become the head of the Tono family.

And there's also Asagami Fujino, who possesses the Distorted Demon Eye, and Wujing and Asagami from the four great exorcists of the Far East—aren't they all with their Ancient Bird Magic Society?

The thought of this gave Aozaki Touko a headache.

She somewhat regretted her decision...

When she returned to Misaki City, she originally planned to do something, but after meeting her sister and friends, she first made a few sarcastic remarks, then inexplicably started to disagree, then they argued, and finally, it seems they drank some tea or wine.

In a daze, my original purpose turned into a competition.

Both sides established their own magic societies, and then developed these societies, using their power to determine who was superior!

They even signed a contract together!

Looking back now... I was so naive back then!

Although Aozaki Touko has a way to break the contract without any punishment, her opponents are Aoko and Arisu...tsk, her competitive spirit is really kicking in!

After leaving Misaki City, she single-handedly established Garan no To, preparing to do something big!

But now, besides Ryougi Shiki, who has been in a coma and was entrusted to his care by the Ryougi family after his negotiations, all he has left is Kokutou Senka...

As her disciple, Xianhua possesses an innate talent for igniting and unleashing fire, unrelated to any magical lineage. She's quite good.

Rather than studying magic, she prefers to find her brother... or rather, the reason she was willing to learn the magic of ignition was to find her brother, Mikiya Kurogiri, who had gone mad and disappeared.

However, compared to Kokutou Senka, who is not very knowledgeable and has no magic circuits other than her own talent for igniting and igniting, Aozaki Touko is knowledgeable.

She remembered clearly that Kokutou Mikiya went mad after the Tono no Tori attacked the Tono family, after Tono Shiki died.

And when she went crazy, she kept shouting things like "White Princess" and "Princess".

Moreover, before disappearing, he displayed vampire traits and powers...

She met Kokutou Senka through the problems caused by Kokutou Mikiya's disappearance.

So Aozaki Touko had some vague suspicions...

After investigating a large amount of information, she discovered that Tono Shiki might have had some issues, and that these issues were transferred to Kokutou Mikiya after his death in a way she didn't know.

As for the essence of this question... if she's not mistaken, it must be the Akasha Serpent, the Infinite One, who is hunted down by one of the world's most powerful monsters, the golden-haired True Ancestor, every time he is resurrected.

Although according to Aozaki Touko's investigation, the reincarnation of Roa was usually decided when they were infants, Kokutou Mikiya's crazy behavior... this is the most plausible explanation Aozaki Touko could find.

If that's the case...

So, it's highly likely that Kurogiri Mikiya is no longer Kurogiri Mikiya, but rather Roa.

Aozaki Touko really didn't know how to explain this to her disciple... it was quite troublesome.

In short, both the Ryougi Shiki and the black iris flowers on her side are causing a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to participate in the Holy Grail War.

With these thoughts in mind, Aozaki Touko sighed deeply and then turned her gaze to Roland.

After listening to Aozaki Touko's explanation, Roland spoke up directly.

"I was forced into the Holy Grail War initially, and my only goal was to avoid dying in it."

"After that, due to some issues, I changed my initial idea and decided to find more companions in this Holy Grail War—and the people I have chosen include, but are not limited to, you who are gathered here now."

After saying this, Roland's gaze swept over Aozaki Touko, Beo the Golden Wolf, Cú Chulainn, and Iskandar in turn.

"So, do you want to join my divine group?"

25. New features enabled

"I see..."

Upon hearing Roland reveal the information about the gods after Medea's alteration, Aozaki Touko and Iskandar, who had previously struggled to understand, now had a clear understanding.

They had previously wondered why Roland was able to gather so many Servants.

Even if Roland defeated the Masters of these Servants, where did the magic power that sustains so many Servants come from?

Now everything is clear.

The bond between them is that divine group, and joining the divine group not only allows them to continuously grow stronger and gradually enjoy increasing benefits—but also grants them immortality, which, if given to a Servant, is equivalent to giving the Servant a second life.

Then the problem of magic power can be solved by these guys who have essentially been resurrected as Servants.

However, whether or not to join

This made them both think.

Seeing their reaction, Roland wasn't in a hurry. He hadn't expected them to agree so readily. If it were up to Roland, Cú Chulainn would probably be the first to agree.

Just as Roland was thinking this, it was the Golden Wolf Beo who spoke first.

At this moment, it took on the appearance of a human.

She is a girl with short blonde hair, green eyes, and looks even smaller than Artoria.

And whether it was intentional or not, she now looks somewhat similar to Artoria.

"If Sister Artoria is here too, then I'll join as well!"
