Skadi, returning to infinity

"Although you are my servant, I don't actually need a servant like you."

"You could even say that you're just someone I used to mislead the other side."

"Even if it wasn't you, I would have done the same to anyone else."

"So you don't need to feel grateful to me, nor do you need to resent me."

"Do whatever you want, as long as you don't get caught."

"But I must remind you that at least three of my enemies are just as powerful as I am."

"If you can't beat me, then you can't beat them."

"In that case, defeat is a minor matter. What if they use special methods to sever the connection between you and me, and then abduct you and turn you into his..."

"If it's your personal pet, then you'll regret it."

"Don't doubt their ability to do it; it's not difficult for them if they want to."

Skadi's voice was very soft.

But these were clearly true words, yet they sounded like a threat, leaving Medea biting her lower lip, both angry and unsure how to refute them.

If it were me...

"Even if your true form descends, it won't matter. Even with the Throne of Heroes, I still have a way to deal with you."

Doesn't Skadi understand what Medea is trying to say?

If she were facing someone like Artoria or Gilgamesh, she might not be able to defeat their true forms even with her powers locked.

But Medea wouldn't need to care so much.

Although she wasn't sure which aspect of Medea's true form was stronger, the fact that she could descend as a magician suggested that...

Her talent in magic is probably one of her strongest abilities.

Magic is also on the mystical side, and my defenses against the mystical side are extremely high.

If a real fight breaks out, no matter how difficult the situation, she is confident that she can handle Medea.

The only thing to worry about is that even if we defeat Medea, Gaia, who is behind her, will intervene.

Are you that confident?

Medea stared at her; this woman seemed truly different.

"It's not that I lack confidence, but rather that I have a clear understanding of my own abilities."

“I made assurances regarding things that I could handle within my capabilities. This wasn’t confidence, but a necessity.”

Skadi, having completed a year of doctoral studies, has developed a bit of the air of someone in a "superior position."

At this moment, she knew she had to be assertive so that Medea would take her words seriously.

"Hehe, since that's the case, I'll watch your performance in this Holy Grail War."

Medea was a treacherous witch, but she was not someone who was out of touch with reality.

After sparring with Skadi and realizing she was no match for her, Medea has changed a lot.

If you can't solve it by force, then try to find her weaknesses in your interactions with her.

"Just watch my performance, you can even just sit here and not go out."

That's what they say, but when it really comes down to it, Medea still has to put on a show.

"I'd like to know, what would someone as powerful as you want the Holy Grail for?"

Medea picked up the milk tea that Losia had brewed, took a sip, and raised an eyebrow.

"I don't need the Holy Grail. If I could really make a wish, I would give the Holy Grail to you."

"I just wanted to do something."

The mission couldn't be revealed, so Skadi made up a random excuse.

"Alright, you should get some rest. Starting tomorrow, our area won't be safe anymore."

Perhaps tonight will be the time.

Skadi added something in her mind, but she didn't say it aloud.

Not wanting to continue the conversation with Medea, she stopped talking about it.

Stretching, I slowly walked up to the third floor and closed the door.

"I suggest you don't ask so many questions or think so much."

Kurumi Tokisaki sat opposite her. Seeing that Medea remained silent, she whispered something and left, returning to the third floor as well. Skadi...

Inside the bedroom.

"interesting.

Medea sat there, her purple lips slightly pursed.

She believed Skadi's words about 30% of the time and didn't believe them about 70%.

This woman must have some ulterior motive for participating in this Holy Grail War.

In fact, this Holy Grail War is essentially something she can do as she pleases.

That kind of person would be quite interesting, wouldn't they?

If only I could...

Many thoughts raced through Medea's mind, but she didn't intend to do anything right now.

She wanted to see what this woman's true purpose was.

"Miss Medea, your room is here."

“Master had already researched various materials eight months ago when she was preparing to summon her.”

"Although it may not be your favorite style."

"But we have tried our best to restore the original culture of Colkis and designed this room and layout."

I hope you like it.

Losia waited until Medea finished her milk tea and sat there in a daze before taking her upstairs to a room.

The style inside is a refined version of Colkis's style.

The room's main colors are blue and purple, and the bed is very large.

Medea's petite body could easily accommodate four or five people lying on her.

There is also a large balcony inside, connected by a transparent glass door.

Although the room is only 30 square meters in size, the balcony is less than 10 square meters.

But it's clear that this room was set up entirely to "princess" standards.

"

All the emotions I had towards Skadi slowly disappeared after seeing this room.

"Is she so sure she can summon me?"

Medea turned to look at Loshia, wondering why.

"My master is very confident. During the preparations, she said she would summon the princess of Colchis, the legendary, stunningly beautiful Princess Medea."

Asia.

"Originally, the master thought he could get along well with Miss Medea."

"But Miss Medea seems to have a great deal of opinion about the person who summoned her."

Losia stopped there, placed the three keys on the dressing table, and then left.

I walked over and sat down in front of the dressing table.

Pick up those three keys.

One key opens the iron gate to the outer courtyard, another opens the main entrance to the villa, and the last one is for the door to my own room.

"Were you prepared from the beginning, and were you absolutely certain you could summon me?"

Medea sat there, fiddling with her keys, her eyes fixed on her reflection in the mirror, lost in thought.

Losia's words, combined with her current room and Skadi's attitude, all contributed to the situation.

The thoughts swirled in her mind, making it difficult for her to discern what she should believe.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Everyone's a Villain

"Is this mission simply to stop the Holy Grail War, or to destroy the Holy Grail itself—one of these two options?"

"interesting...."

"It's called a choice between two options, but it's really just to give us more room for error."

"If we can stop the Holy Grail War, we won't have to risk destroying the Holy Grail."

"If we can't stop it, then we'll have the task of destroying the Holy Grail to take care of."

"Normally, missions wouldn't be this merciful."

"It seems there's a tricky person involved in this mission."

A young man with a slightly curved fringe down his forehead, wearing a white jacket and a katana at his waist, looked at his mission.

He immediately realized that the task was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

If there are no major changes in this world, then there must be some very troublesome individuals hidden within the opposing agent team.

If there are a few tricky guys, there's really no need to worry too much.

The worst thing is having only one troublesome guy.
