Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Shinji Matou didn't see what happened in the basement, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw the two who had just been so aggressive die so easily and decisively. Then he turned around, followed Roland's footsteps, and left with this comment.

It looks flashy, but it's really useless in a fight!

Roland heard his assessment but didn't explain anything, simply acquiescing to it.

Then Roland took him to Aozaki Touko's magic workshop, which was located in the early stages of the main camp.

Shinji Matou is not entirely without magical talent.

However, his magical talent was poor, and his magical circuits were blocked, which fundamentally caused him to lose the possibility of entering the world of mystery.

However, this kind of problem is not a problem for Aozaki Touko, who has completed the law.

A simple surgery directly solved the problem of Shinji Matou's magic circuits being blocked, and also made some minor improvements to his magic circuits.

Aozaki Touko is capable of doing something like that.

As for the cost...

The price was that after Shinji Matou completed the surgery and opened his magic circuits, he bled from all seven orifices and almost died on the spot.

However, this was within expectations.

Roland directly activated his divinity, took Matou Shinji as a follower god, and used the longevity benefits of the gods to heal him directly.

Then Shinji Matou became someone with magic circuits.

After killing Zouken Matou, Aozaki Touko found the Matou family's restrictive magic at their home. She kept a copy for herself, showing no intention of keeping it secret. Roland, on the other hand, had no interest in it at all. He only told Aozaki Touko to give Medea a copy of the Matou family's spellbook and Araya Souren's magic information, and then gave the Matou family's inheritance to Matou Shinji.

As for his family's magic crest... that's really gone.

However, Shinji Matou didn't care. He was overjoyed that he could activate his magic circuits and use some simple magic.

Cú Chulainn, who was to be responsible for teaching Shinji Matou, pursed his lips and gave him a positive evaluation for the time being—optimistic.

Now that Shinji Matou's problem is solved, the next step is to send him to find Shirou Emiya.

He and Emiya Shirou already knew each other, and since Sakura wasn't part of this storyline, Matou Shinji and Emiya Shirou had no conflicts at all and had a pretty good relationship; they were good friends.

So after Shinji extended the invitation, Shirou Emiya, being the nice guy he is, came along.

Roland then handed them over to Cú Chulainn, while he himself, along with Aozaki Touko, boarded the train to Kanbuko City.

He had promised Aozaki Touko 800, and he was going to see Ryougi Shiki.

In Northern Europe, at the Edelfelt family home.

Sajou Aika hasn't been in a good mood lately. She hasn't seen Roland, whom she dreamed about before, in any of her dreams lately.

This left her both confused and somewhat annoyed.

Weren't you going to invite me to join some kind of amazing group?

Where are you?

With this in mind, Aika Sajou decided that if she still couldn't wait for him for a while, she would have to find a way to go find him!

But just as she was feeling this way, she learned from Karen that Luvia, the head of the Edfeld family, was also in a bad mood today.

As for the reason...

"Miss Luvia said that her distant relative, the current head of the Tohsaka family, and Sakura's older sister, Rin Tohsaka, has come looking for us. I came here specifically to ask you to come with me. Would you like to come along?"

Hearing Karen say that, Sajou Aika breathed a sigh of relief, calming her somewhat anxious emotions.

During this period, she managed to get along fairly well with Luvia, Kallen, and Sakura thanks to her acting skills. In addition, she would need Luvia's help if she needed to find someone later. So, after readjusting her emotions, Aika Sajou revealed a smile as beautiful as a blooming flower.

“Ms. Tohsaka, right? Then let’s go together. I happen to be looking for someone. While asking Ms. Luvia, it seems like I can also ask Ms. Tohsaka.”

"Find someone?"

Since Karen was also gathering information about Kirei Kotomine, she asked out of curiosity.

Sajō Ayaka nodded in response.

"Yes, we're looking for someone, a man named Roland."

8. Bugs in Modern People

Kanbuko City is a very modern city. Compared to Fuyuki City, it has more high-rise buildings, more bustling areas, and more cars on the streets.

Before his journey, Roland would often look up at large cities, gazing at them from a higher perspective and experiencing the steel jungle of modern industry.

But now Roland has shifted his focus to the streets and alleys.

Only in such a place could Roland sense the mysterious aura hidden within the steel jungle.

Urban legend.

He had often heard this term, commonly used in the Far East, before he traveled through time, but at that time he only listened to it as a story.

Now that he has truly become a magician, and even fought in a Holy Grail War, such a title is clearly more likely to attract Roland's attention.

So Roland traveled with Aozaki Touko, listening to her tell various urban legends about the city as they headed towards their destination, the hospital where Ryougi Shiki was located.

"It is said that there is a Mother of Guanbuzi in Guanbuzi City. She should have the ability to see the future. If you ever see someone setting up a fortune-telling stall in an alley, that might be her."

"As for the urban legend of the zombies in the building, that is actually my magic workshop, which is also the magic society I established, the Hall of Garan. It all started when my disciple accidentally let an ordinary person see my doll. By the time I found out about it, it was already an urban legend."

After mentioning her magic society, Aozaki Touko began to introduce it to Roland.

"Keep walking in that direction, and you'll find a half-finished commercial building that was originally abandoned. That building is my workshop, and also the headquarters of the magic society Garan Hall."

"However, although our Garan no Hall is called a magic society, there are actually not many people. Just me, plus my disciple Kokutou Senka. I was going to include Beo before, but now Beo has run off with Artoria, sigh."

At this point, Aozaki Touko sighed, then continued speaking.

“However, I had already spoken with Bazett, and he agreed to be listed under my organization—oh, right, I joined your pantheon, so the Hall of Garan should be considered a subordinate organization of the pantheon, right?”

When Aozaki Touko steered the conversation towards her magic club under the guise of discussing urban legends, Roland smiled and met her gaze until she looked away somewhat guiltily before he spoke.

"Putting your society under the banner of the gods, let me guess, what kind of enemy has your magic society offended?"

Roland first pointed out the problem, making Aozaki Touko smile awkwardly, but before she could explain, Roland spoke again.

"But it doesn't matter. You're a member of the Gods now, so if someone really comes looking for trouble, we won't stand idly by."

Roland intends to make the name of the gods known throughout the multiverse, so it would be strange if no one in his own world knew about it.

That's why Roland made those arrangements for Illya, Iskandar, and Bazett, and even Shinji Matou's foreshadowing was prepared for this purpose—Ku

Qiu Lin's main student is actually Emiya Shirou. As for Matou Shinji, it would be enough if he mastered a portion of his family's magic and had some martial arts skills to protect himself.

Roland had already instructed Hyakuma to make arrangements, and before leaving Fuyuki City, he also left Matou Shinji with some business models and operating methods that he knew.

Then it's up to him next.

Doing this myself would be too much trouble, but if I let him do it, it would be making the best use of him.

Once the business has developed to a certain scale, the name of the group should have spread to some extent. At that time, it should be able to reach that financial demon king.

Roland planned to use the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles as stepping stones for his own divine group.

However, actively seeking trouble with the Ancestors could easily cause them to band together. At that point, it would be troublesome to compete with the Ancestors' complex network of relationships once they have banded together, given our current strength.

Especially Arcueid. If this white princess exists and participates in the form of a weapon, then even without considering Zhu Yue and Gaia, she herself would be very difficult to deal with.

After all, Roland had seen it in the game. This white princess could transform into a giant of light after going berserk. It would be too much of a loss to fight her in a real battle.

But if an ancestor were to come to you and you were to use it as a stepping stone... then there would be no problem.

Even if someone deliberately causes trouble, it's okay to go a little too far.

After all, while Shinji Matou possesses exceptional talent in business and management, wouldn't it be more convenient to simply seize and utilize the financial empire of the Financial Demon King, Vasily, one of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles?

"They can't really be considered enemies..."

As Aozaki Touko spoke, she then recounted to Roland the details of the ancient bird kingdom established by her sister and Ayumi, as well as her own Garan no Dormitory.

After Roland listened to Aozaki Touko's detailed explanation, he gradually pieced together the plot of Mahoutsukai no Yoru, Kara no Kyoukai, and even parts of Tsukihime.

"If we're talking about magic societies..."

"The organization was founded by the Fifth Mage and that modern witch. The current head of the Tohno family, the last heir of the Asagami family, and the twins of Wujing are all in the organization. They have probably taken over the Tohno family's power as well as the Asagami branch family, Asagami.

"Under these circumstances, they have money, spiritual veins, and manpower, while you..."

Roland sorted out the current situation, then glanced at Aozaki Touko with a subtle expression.

Are you really serious about developing a magic society?

When Aozaki Touko heard Roland say that, she retorted quietly, though her voice wasn't loud.

"Of course! Look, I bought an abandoned building to build a magic workshop. Although I've been researching magic and doing missions to earn money for magic research ever since, I also took on a disciple to develop my magic society. And I also participated in the Holy Grail War and spent a lot of money buying relics."

"Moreover, Ryougi Shiki of the Ryougi family is also under my care. If Ryougi Shiki wakes up, she will be directly given the title of head of the Ryougi family. I have been taking care of her for so many years, how could she not join then?"

"If she joins, wouldn't that mean the Ryougi family is also on my side?"

Orange's words sounded very unconvincing.

But Roland actually knew that if things really developed this way, Aozaki Touko would actually draw an ace after Ryougi Shiki woke up.

If Ryougi Shiki were to awaken the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, she would become an extremely powerful figure in the struggles of the Mage Society, even without considering the Root Form.
