Type-Moon: Root Seiko

Even with the power of Command Seals, achieving spatial teleportation within a few kilometers or tens of kilometers would have already reached its limit.

This system was designed specifically for the Holy Grail War; no one with a sound mind would summon Servants across half the globe.

But Luo Zhen can do it.

Command Seals are powerful magic spells capable of spatial teleportation; all that's left is to double the magical power needed to increase the distance.

This magic was all generated by Luo Zhen himself, and a miracle that shocked the modern magic world was achieved in an instant.

In the frigid air, the four heroic spirits appeared in unison.

They had all received a long-distance call from Luo Zhen (Miss Aoko answered the phone) and were prepared to be teleported by the Command Spell.

And so, before those three hundred and two neatly lined-up androids...

The Holy Maiden very consciously stepped forward and lightly tapped the stone brick with the end of the holy flag in her hand.

Her skirt swayed, revealing her healthy, full thighs through a slit at the side of her waist.

Those legs, encased in black stockings, curved smoothly as she knelt on one knee before Luo Zhen.

Her long, braided blonde hair cascaded down to the ground along with the hem of her skirt.

Like a bowed iris, beautiful and devout.

"By the command of my lord, your most loyal sword, Joan of Arc, has returned to your side. Give your orders, my lord."

“…(€€€€ω€€€€€€)”

Faced with Joan of Arc's exaggerated performance, those around her remained silent.

Judging from the saintess's constantly swaying lips, she must be feeling incredibly proud and cool!

Moreover, she didn't hide her boasting at all, saying things like "I'm the Master's most original and first Servant~€€", and she was completely smug about it.

...But to be content with this already shows her simplicity and loveliness; she truly is a saint.

Luo Zhen forced a smile to stay on his lips: "Yes. Thank you for your hard work, Jeanne."

Luo Zhen then looked at the remaining three people.

Artoria was wearing armor but no helmet, and her expression was ambiguous, a half-smile on her face.

She deliberately knelt down on one knee before Rōjin after Rōjin had finished "entertaining" Joan of Arc.

Her red cloak billowed across the ground, making her more imposing and cool than a pious saint, more like a king receiving a coronation from the Pope.

But Artoria no longer sees herself as a king.

"Your knight Artoria is at your disposal."

She squinted her eyes with a playful grin, as if knowingly doing something wrong: "I am your gun, your shield... or even your scabbard."

"After all, the scabbard is more important than the sword itself. Your sword, Master, always needs to be sheathed, doesn't it?"

"...0v0?"

The saintess beside him wore a polite smile, unaware of the deeper meaning behind the Knight King's words.

Overall, Joan of Arc was a good woman. Although she tried her best to maintain her position in Luo Zhen's eyes, she fundamentally lacked a competitive spirit and was too kind.

What else could Narojin possibly say...? He could only give a perfunctory response before Lady Alice, who was holding her daughter beside him, burst out laughing.

With two good role models already, there's no need to mention the other two.

"...What...what are you going to do? Do you want this goddess to kneel before you?!"

Ishtar crossed her arms warily.

Her spirit attire was completely unsuitable for the icy, snowy environment. It looked so cold that I couldn't even post a picture of it.

But for some reason, her face was flushed, and she was even panting and sweating, as if she had a fever.

Before Luo Zhen could say anything, she started chattering excitedly like a machine gun.

"To expect a goddess to swear allegiance to humanity is utterly contrary to the natural order! I am the mistress of the earth, the goddess of harvest and war! It should be humanity that pledges allegiance to me and offers me all their treasures! There is no way I would kneel on the ground like a begging pet, licking your feet!"

"No, no one asked you to do that..." Luo Zhen hadn't finished speaking.

Ishtar was breathing even harder, her eyes swirling into vortexes: "Rozen, you need to understand your place! You're my possession, my Rose Stone, that's why I treat you a little differently! I'll indulge your whims, play role-playing games, get spanked, and pretend it's nice, all simply because I love you! Our superior-subordinate relationship absolutely cannot be confused! ...I really didn't mean to do that, I was just getting into character..."

The useless goddess doesn't know who she's trying to convince.

She knelt down more obediently than both the saintess and the knight king, leaning against Luo Zhen's legs.

Like a pampered, obsequious house cat, she looked up at him with a pitiful expression.

"...What kind of expression should I wear?"

Honestly, Luo Zhen knew he was definitely not someone who liked this kind of sadistic play... Why were they all so into it?

Irisviel really couldn't take it anymore.

She leaned against Luo Zhen's back, laughing wildly and slapping her husband's back repeatedly, completely hitting her funny bone.

But in front of more than three hundred bewildered androids, Luo Zhen had to put on airs and comply with the desires of the useless goddess at his feet, rubbing her hair and face, making her gurgle shamefully from deep in her throat with a look of intoxication.

Finally, there's Kyonobuko.

“……(€€€€€€)?”

Despite being a berserker, Kyoko was the only person with common sense present.

She was the only one who was out of character, or rather, she was never really in character at all.

"I am your sword, that doesn't need to be repeated, does it?"

Her expression was extremely calm: "Can we start working now? Are we training combat troops? Although I'm not good at teaching, I can still teach you how to exercise and point out mistakes. Let's get started."

"Xiao Kuang, I love you to death." Luo Zhen's heartfelt daily confession.

It's wonderful to have such a guileless and sensible heroic spirit by my side.

-----------------

Although Ryougi summoned four Heroic Spirits at once, Jeanne d'Arc and Artoria were actually the main ones in charge of training the troops.

Xiao Kuang is a typical autistic genius. She can learn anything on her own, but teaching others is like a death sentence for her.

But at least she was positive in her mind, and her keen eyesight came in handy.

As for Ishtar... she is still Ishtar.

It's not her turn to exert her strength yet; Luo Zhen only called her along because he didn't want her to cause trouble.

During this time, Orange and Arisu, who were in Japan, were also contacting their respective acquaintances.

They are assisting Luo Zhen in preparing to change the world.

Luo Zhen is about to start a war and conquer the entire magic world.

This is to transform the 'unreasonable' into a part of the 'reasonable,' and to reshape the world into a more comfortable place for ourselves.

In the lead-up to this action, Luo Zhen basically lived a secluded life.

He personally took charge of the procurement of supplies for Einzbern Castle, accompanied the maids down the mountain to the town to purchase large orders, and helped them negotiate prices.

After all, if these maids with no common sense are allowed to buy things on their own, they could really do things like exchanging gold for glass beads. We must focus on educating them on common sense.

Back in the castle, Rozen mostly accompanied Joan of Arc and the others in training the troops... and took care of the children with Irisviel.

"Ilya is still like this?" Luo Zhen asked.

Irisviel nodded gently by the bedside.

She had just put Ilya to bed.

This girl, Einzbern's last masterpiece, the so-called "fighting machine with the superfluous parts removed," truly resembles a doll.

Although Irisviel had been taking care of her with overflowing maternal love for several days, basically inseparable from her—even letting her sleep next to Ryougi when she slept—

However, Ilya showed almost no emotional expression.

She simply followed orders unilaterally, and under Irisviel's tutelage, she learned to brush her teeth and wash her face by herself. She had no problems with the most basic daily life tasks... but really, they were only the most basic.

Only after confirming that she was completely asleep and her cute little face had naturally relaxed did Irisviel show any concern.

"Darling... is it true that even the third method can't help her?"

"It's hard to say," Luo Zhen said seriously.

Ilya's problem is not a physical defect.

If it's just a physical issue, then whether it's Einzbern's own artificial human technology or Orange's help to rebuild her body later, it will restore her normal human senses.

But Ilya's problems are more psychological.

She is an artificial human created through artificial incubation. She was instilled with all the knowledge required for combat in the incubation chamber, and all that was left was to hone her skills.

Her spirit was stripped of all superfluous elements from the very beginning.

This is like a wolf child who has lived in the wilderness since childhood; even if they are brought back to human society, it is very difficult for them to learn human language.

There's a saying: Humanity's childhood is like the night of a person's life.

Luo Zhen looked at the child on the bed: "By the time a person reaches adulthood, they are at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, which is the time when they have just gotten up and started to move around."
