Kamen Rider Date A Live

"...This time, Xiaozhai deserved it herself. I will teach Xiaozhai a lesson."

After leaving behind these angry words, Future walked up to the cardboard box containing the otaku, pointed her right hand at the box, and at the same time, a few visible green electric currents flashed across her hand, causing the box containing the otaku to float up!

"Mr. World, everyone, I'm going back now. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

After giving a slight bow, a burst of green lightning suddenly appeared and surrounded Mirai and the cardboard box otaku (otaku: ...). After the lightning disappeared, both of them vanished.

"Heh, looks like the homebody's in for a rough time when he gets home... I hope so."

Halfway through his cheerful conversation, You Shi suddenly remembered the personality of a homebody and gave a wry smile.

"However, the matter with the otaku is temporarily settled, and now it's Shido's turn. Everyone, what should we do?"

Yu Shi, who had been at least smiling, suddenly put on a serious face and started talking about something else.

"What else can we do? We've done everything we can to help the kid. We set up a cheat-like ability for him, isn't that enough? He can now absorb light energy and convert it into magic power in broad daylight. With his intelligence, he'll be able to store that magic power, which should be enough to fight the enemy."

Yiwen lay lazily on the sofa, took a sip of red tea infused with Starry Night Blood, and said in a low voice.

"Yes. Besides, Fate-chan, Hayate-chan, and I already have our special magic in Gaia's hands. Wasn't the 'existence' here already sent over? In that case, even if the Black Grail realizes that Shido-kun can purify it, the summoned Ruler will not need to possess anything or rely on the Black Grail's magic to move because of Gaia's intervention."

Nanoha added that she explained why the way the ruler appeared was incorrect.

"Those things are true... However, we have indeed done our best to help, and I also asked Gaia to give Shido a special Command Seal."

"A special Command Seal? What is that?"

The group heard something they had never heard before from You Shi and asked him with some confusion.

"Ah, its specific function is to contract a Heroic Spirit. However, the activation condition is that Shido's Master uses a Command Seal once. And the reason I say that Command Seal is special is because it is composed of a part of Gaia and Alaya."

"Hey, what?! Wouldn't this accelerate Shido's evolution?! What are you thinking, Yuse?!"

Xingye, without any grace, spat out the tea in her mouth, but fortunately, she turned her head in time, preventing the girls (?) or boys (?) from having a *** experience.

However, when faced with Xingye's questioning, You Shi simply took a sip of tea and looked at the world, as if to say, "This is not my idea, it is the world's idea."

"...Hey, don't be so shameless, Yu."

When the world saw You Shi's gaze, it felt its eyelids twitching uncontrollably, and it had no choice but to speak out.

"Everyone, think about it. Shido will eventually evolve into a 'god'. No matter how much we try to stop him or how unwilling he is, it is an unchangeable fact. So, we might as well let Shido prepare himself mentally and know what it feels like to be a 'god'."

An unusual silence fell over everyone, because they all knew that the world was right; it was only a matter of time before such a thing happened.

"...However, given Shido's unique nature, there should be a new route, a result known as a happy ending..."

Among the crowd, someone uttered these words, which elicited quiet nods from everyone.

"By the way, are Tohka, Yoshino, Kotori, and Kurumi still in that screening room?"

The key broke the silence.

"...Ah, um. Tohka and the others are watching Shido's live broadcast right now. Judging by the time, the first battle of the Holy Grail War in the original story should have ended by now."

While preparing new food items, Xingye answered Jian's question.

"Is that so? Then let's prepare ourselves. Shadowmoon will definitely not give up easily."

Upon seeing the key, both World and Yuu's eyelids twitched, but they agreed with what the key said.

"That's right, everyone, get ready... for a new battle."

"understood!"

………………

"Ah, Shadow Moon, you're back... Judging from your appearance, it doesn't seem to have gone very well."

"Enough talk, Doctor! It's not a complete success, but we're halfway there. Now, quickly locate that crystal! The revenge battle is next!"

"That's up to you. Anyway, there are many worlds to slaughter, so there are as many grunts and monsters as you want... But before that, Shadowmoon, you should go get some treatment."

"You don't need to bother with this!"

Chapter 128 An Unexplained Enemy

Chapter 128 An Unexplained Enemy

Before we talk about what happened after Shido and Rule met, let's rewind a little.

………………

"...Wake up, Master! Wake up! We've arrived!"

Upon hearing a familiar voice, Weber, who had been in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes!

"Waaah!"

However, after Webber woke up, he was immediately overcome with a strong urge to vomit, which made him get up and cover his mouth.

"Ah, here you go, Master."

Seeing Waver in this state, Shido immediately knew what was wrong with him. He quickly took a vomit bag from his "Hall of Light," which was almost turning into a storage room, and placed it in front of Waver.

"Ugh ugh ...

Without hesitation, Webber snatched the vomit bag from Shido and began to vomit voraciously, blobs of something that should have been censored going into the black vomit bag.

"Here's the medicine and water, Rider. I'll leave Master to you for now. I'm going out for a walk and should be back around six or seven."

Shido placed the anti-nausea medication and boiled water from his hand into Rider's, giving him instructions.

“Taking care of little Master is not a big deal. Anyway, after feeding him the medicine, little Master should be sleeping. But, Shido, why are you going out? You are usually the first one to go to sleep.”

Rider was a little confused, because Shido was usually the first one to go to sleep, but today he said he was going on a night stroll, which surprised Rider a little.

"That's strange today, Shido, you're not sleeping. Where are you going?"

"Rider, as you know, I can absorb sunlight during the day and convert it into magic to maintain my existence, but I can also store magic for emergencies."

"But just now, in order to dodge Lancer's short spear, I unleashed my magic to create a storm. Otherwise, to create a wind of that magnitude, it would take about five seconds to build up the power. In addition, after the continuous battles with Berserker and Archer, I only have less than a third of the magic power stored in my body left. I need to replenish it properly now."

"The light of the rising sun, though short-lived, is rich in magical energy, making it a good source of replenishment. In addition, the first battle of the Fourth Holy Grail War has just ended, and with the tension at its peak, it is even more important to patrol."

Shido explained his reasons, and Rider, who was holding Waver, stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

"That's true. However, this Holy Grail War is simply abnormal. Before we even encountered the Assassin, he was killed by the Archer. In the battles that followed, apart from the Caster who had been missing and the Assassin who was killed, all the other Servants appeared. It's much stranger than anything we've seen before."

"It's precisely because there are so many strange things, and the true names of three Heroic Spirits have been revealed, that things are so troublesome. In short, while I'm away, I'm entrusting Master's protection to you, Rider! We absolutely cannot let our guard down until dawn truly arrives!"

Shido earnestly and righteously entrusted Rider with this task, but Rider simply tried to lower his voice and laugh loudly.

"Leave it to me! Besides, I have some clues about that gold-plated guy's identity, so I'll have to investigate him a bit."

"Archer... well, that's up to you, Rider. See you in the morning."

Haha, see you in the morning!

………………

After parting ways with Rider, Shido wandered aimlessly through the streets. Fortunately, although times had changed, the people printed on the banknotes hadn't changed much, preventing Shido from falling into a penniless situation. Although Shido still had a pile of gold given to him by Hoshino stored inside.

—A wave of nostalgia—

"You know what I mean, Shido? No matter what, gold is always a universal currency! It's essential to carry gold with you at all times! Consider this pile of gold a small gift! But you can only use it if you're truly broke or your own money is unusable! Understand?"

—The flashback is over—

"I never thought it might actually come in handy. I only have about four thousand yen on me, I don't know if that'll be enough... Oh! This food looks good! Boss! Give me a skewer!"

...Are you on patrol or strolling through a night market, Shido-kun? At this rate, you'll never have enough money!

While Shido was happily strolling through the night market, he didn't forget his purpose and carefully observed the surrounding area for any signs of magicians or servants.

However, Shido doesn't plan to go to the location of the "Starting Three Families" in the Holy Grail War. Firstly, he already knows that the Tohsaka family's Servant is Archer. Secondly, the white-haired woman's identity and strange aura confirm that she is the Einzbern family's Servant, Saber.

What we don't know right now is whether the servant of the last of the "starter families" is a Berserker or a Caster.

Now, about an hour and a half after the chaotic battle ended, just as Shido was about to head to the Matou residence to check on things, an unusual fluctuation caught his attention.

(Strange, this magical aura feels very similar to the magical aura of Evangelion and Nanoha, but there's also a strange, unpleasant magical aura mixed in... I should go check it out.)

Acting on his impulse, Shido quickly left the noisy area, summoned his motorcycle in a secluded spot, put the snacks he had bought into his belt, and headed towards the mountainous area where the strange magical energy was emanating.

…………

"Huh? Isn't this Saber? Why are you dressed like this?"

Upon arriving at his destination, the first thing Shido saw was a blonde woman clutching her stomach. Although he could only see her profile, the face was clearly Saber's. Her hairstyle and clothing were completely different, which Shido found odd.

However, 'Saber' did not answer Shido, which made Shido a little strange. But then, suddenly, a voice that Tohka often made came out of 'Saber's' stomach, and Shido's expression became subtle.

"Saber, you don't think your Master is even feeding you properly. If you don't mind..."

With a helpless smile, Shido approached 'Saber', but when he was less than a meter away from 'Saber', he sensed killing intent and almost instinctively jumped back, summoning his belt and instantly transforming.

"Saber! You...you're not Saber! Who are you?!"

Agitω, who dodged 'Saber's' sword, was about to ask why she was attacked, but when Shido saw 'Saber's' face, he realized that this person was definitely not Saber!

Although this strange servant's face is exactly the same as Saber's, their eyes are different! Saber's eyes are emerald green, while this strange servant's eyes are azure blue like the sky!

However, although it might be a bit rude to say that, the difference in pupils wasn't the first thing I noticed. What first caught agitω's eye was...

(Ah, compared to this Servant, isn't Saber a little too pitiful...)

That's right, the first thing that catches agitω's eye is, of course, the strange servant's body! And it has to be said that, no matter how you look at it, whether it's height, bust size, or... cough cough, hip circumference, this strange servant has the advantage, which makes one think of a certain saying.

How can one govern the world if one's chest is not flat? How can one win people's hearts if one's breasts are not large?

Yeah, that's why King Arthur was unpopular! Because his breasts weren't big enough (laughs).

Hehe, let's leave the jokes at that. After admiring the servant's figure in her heart, agitω asked loudly.

"Who are you?! Caster?!"

In response to agitω's question, the strange servant calmly stood up, pointing his sword at agitω, and replied.

"I am the ruler of the Holy Grail War. My purpose in manifesting here is to punish you, heretical Heroic Spirit—Itsuka Shido!"

After saying that, the ruler drew his sword and charged forward!

Chapter 129 ended inexplicably.

"I don't know why you want to fight me, but if you want to fight, I'm ready!"
