Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Emiya Shirou and explained, "The current state of the King of Heroes and the King of Knights is because we bypassed the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City by using the enhancer given to us by Mr. Romani and summoned them directly with the Counter Force."
"Furthermore, like the King of Heroes, Miss Artoria descended from the Throne of Heroes in her true form, so the mana consumption to maintain her presence is ten times that of a normal Servant."
"Shirou, don't let her fight unless it's absolutely necessary, otherwise your current level of magic power won't be enough to sustain her for long."
Fujimaru Ritsuka warned, "Once your magical energy is insufficient, Miss Artoria will become extremely weak, even weaker than a normal Servant, and will be in danger."
After speaking, Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at the blonde girl eating opposite him with some surprise. He was astonished that Emiya Shirou could actually summon her true form.
Their original plan was to use the enhancer to allow Shirou Emiya to summon the Knight King through the Counter Force. The Knight King, whose spirit origin was stronger than that summoned by the Holy Grail, would be the strongest Servant in this ritual and serve as their visible fighting force.
Secretly, they used the fact that they had contacted Gilgamesh, who would descend in his true, peak form, as their trump card to deal with any unforeseen events that were bound to occur.
In order to maintain Gilgamesh's fighting power, Romani, whose true identity was once the strongest king Solomon, went to great lengths to create the jade ring that would allow Fujimaru Ritsuka to be constantly connected to Avalon.
In this way, Gilgamesh, who possesses abundant magical power and can unleash the true names of several of the strongest Noble Phantasms multiple times, will be comparable to a god, omniscient and omnipotent, and will suppress any anomalies that may occur.
At this moment, Shirou Emiya, who had been told by Ritsuka Fujimaru that he was too weak and was dragging Artoria down, scratched the back of his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Is there a solution?"
Mashu nodded, "Yes, it's about improving your magical abilities. As long as your magic power increases, you can help the Knight King fight longer."
"..." Emiya Shirou was speechless for a moment, then told the truth: "Because my adoptive father died early, my magic skills have been stuck there for several years without improvement."
Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled slightly: "It's alright, we'll help you solve your problem in a targeted way."
After speaking, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Gilgamesh, who was sitting cross-legged to the side, one hand on his chin in thought, with a dignified air, and respectfully asked, "You used your Noble Phantasm just now, King of Heroes. Did you discover something?"
“Not bad.” Gilgamesh nodded slightly.
“I have gathered all the information and intelligence about this city, including some past records, and I can now confirm the identities and locations of the seven Masters currently involved in the Holy Grail ritual.”
"However, three of the Masters are behaving strangely. One of them is a Servant from the Einzbern family who was summoned many years ago, and Illyasviel von Einzbern, as the Master, came to this city to make arrangements."
"The second Master of the Tohsaka family destroyed the Overseer's Church nine years ago because during the last Holy Grail War, the Church's Bishop Kirei Kotomine violated the rules by participating in the ritual and ambushed and killed his teacher, one of his Masters at the time, Tokiomi Tohsaka."
"In that battle, the current head of the Tohsaka family, one of the current Masters, Rin Tohsaka, was only eight years old, but she destroyed the church and left completely. Kirei Kotomine was seriously injured, rescued, and disappeared."
"In this battle, she displayed a strength beyond her years, especially in the battle four years later against the Einzbern Master, the homunculus Illyasviel, who was only thirteen years old."
"Both of them displayed strength beyond that of ordinary Heroic Spirits. The aftershocks of the battle were so strong that they destroyed a mountain outside Fuyuki City, damaging the battle barrier that shielded them and leaving traces."
"In the following years, the Tohsaka family was always shrouded in a powerful barrier. Rin Tohsaka herself did not make a move and her strength was unknown. The other one did not set foot in Fuyuki City for four years and there was no other information about her."
"The third one I feel is problematic is the Matou family, but because of the barrier, I can't observe them closely, and there's no data to compare. But my intuition tells me that we need to pay close attention to them."
hiss!
Fujimaru Ritsuka gasped, incredulously saying, "At the age of twelve, she possesses strength surpassing that of ordinary Heroic Spirits. Haven't her two families already begun to decline in the world of magic?"
Having fought alongside Heroic Spirits through Singularities multiple times, he knows best just how powerful these Servants, born from history and past events, are.
Gilgamesh is now saying that two girls, when they were twelve or thirteen years old, were able to tear apart Heroic Spirits and destroy mountains with their bare hands, which is incredibly shocking even to him.
If it weren't for the fact that it was Gilgamesh speaking in front of him, he would have doubted whether he was seeing things.
While the two were talking, Shirou Emiya was constantly absorbing and digesting the information he didn't know, while Artoria continued to eat.
Mashu, standing to the side, kept serving Artoria new food after she finished eating, and then curiously watched the blonde girl who had appeared in her true form.
Gilgamesh nodded slowly: "That's right. According to the information, both families have indeed been defeated in the magic world and shouldn't have such strong power, so there's a problem."
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment: "In that case, to be on the safe side, we should exclude those three from the people we're trying to win over, and wait and see before deciding whether they're friends or foes."
"Among the other three Masters, is it possible for one of them to become an ally?"
“The other three Masters.”
Gilgamesh's eyes showed a thoughtful expression as he flipped through the information he had collected and organized: "The remaining three Master and one Servant slots have already been filled, and there is a possibility of recruiting the remaining two."
Gilgamesh then looked at Shirou Emiya and said calmly, "One of them is your school teacher, Souichirou Kuzuki. I think you can take her with you and persuade her by force."
"If that doesn't work, then we'll deal with that Servant and her fake Servant directly to prevent future trouble. You two can discuss how to do this later."
"As for the other one."
At this point, Gilgamesh's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said indifferently, "I'll go and persuade the other one, and teach 'him' a lesson while I'm at it; he's utterly disgraced me."
…………
That night, Jiang Jing ended up sleeping in Matou Sakura's room, but just as she had said, Matou Sakura obediently made a makeshift bed on the floor next to the bed.
Lying on the bed with the fresh scent of a young girl, Jiang Jing's biological clock had long since adjusted, and he would always start to doze off around midnight, and this time was no exception.
But just as Jiang Jing closed his eyes to go to sleep, Matou Sakura, who was under the bed, excitedly lay on the sheets, looked up at Jiang Jing on the bed, and whispered, "Senpai, are you asleep?"
"...Getting ready to sleep." Jiang Jing yawned, too lazy to even open his eyes, and rubbed his face against the pillow that smelled of a young girl, preparing to go to sleep.
However, Sakura Matou, who had been excited all night, was not sleepy and cautiously asked, "Senpai, how long can you stay this time? Can you stay a little longer?"
Jiang Jing opened his eyes, turned to look at her, and casually said, "We'll see. I'll go back once I've seen the information I want to see, when your Holy Grail War is over."
"Senior, you came here specifically to watch this Holy Grail Ceremony?" Matou Sakura was taken aback.
In her mind, Jiang Jing was omnipotent and indescribably powerful. Why would he care about an ordinary city in this world? In fact, reaching the source and destroying the world was just a ritual.
Jiang Jing, resting his head on his arm, said lazily, "The ritual of this Holy Grail War is not important. What is important is what will happen after the ritual. It will determine whether this world continues to exist or is completely destroyed."
The white-haired girl who was in charge of suppressing and managing this world has abandoned her post again and gone off to investigate some detailed information about the Void Abyss. As the nominal person in charge now, Jiang Jing is preparing to deal with this world this time.
Whether to preserve or destroy depends on what will happen after fate is twisted and history is restored to its proper order.
Chapter 306 Matou Sakura: I'll help you destroy the world, we meet at a crossroads
"Senior wants to destroy the world. Is there anything I can do to help you? And when the world is destroyed, can I go with you?"
With her curvaceous body lying on the blanket, her long purple hair cascading down her side, Matou Sakura, exuding a captivating feminine charm, spoke with a hint of anticipation.
She didn't care at all whether her world would be destroyed; what she cared about was being able to stay by the side of the person she had longed for for ten years.
Having already discerned the girl's intentions, Jiang Jing didn't play hard to get and nodded readily: "Okay, I was planning to take you away after this matter is settled."
Sakura Matou appears very gentle and considerate in front of Jiang Jing right now, behaving like a perfectly docile girlfriend tonight.
This is indeed one side of her, but it's only the side she presents to Jiang Jing. In Jiang Jing's eyes, her soul is even more twisted and dark than when he saw her a few years ago, more evil than a devil.
But deep within that pitch-black soul, a faint, brilliant light shines through, a harbinger of the birth of the light of the soul.
If she succeeds, Matou Sakura will undergo a spiritual transformation, just like Jiang Jing back then, gaining an incredibly powerful soul ability based on her talent.
At that time, her potential will be even greater than that of Shiina Mashiro, who was transformed by Jiang Jing himself, possessing several bloodline talents. Although Matou Sakura can also be said to have been created by him.
Hearing Jiang Jing explicitly say that he would take her away, Matou Sakura felt like she was dreaming. Then, an overwhelming sense of excitement and joy welled up inside her, and she sat up abruptly.
"Really, senpai?" Matou Sakura stared intently at him with eyes that shone with intense light, as if afraid she had misheard.
This had always been her dream, but she never expected it to come true so easily.
"It's true. Okay, let's go to sleep." As he spoke, Jiang Jing subconsciously looked down, and then a trembling expanse of snow-white skin came into his view.
Tonight, Matou Sakura is wearing a one-piece nightgown with buttons down the middle.
However, she wasn't wearing anything underneath, and the top few buttons had been knocked open by her magnificent breasts, which were several sizes larger than those of an adult woman, when she hurriedly got up.
"...Put your pajamas on properly. You really don't treat me like a man, do you?" Jiang Jing rolled his eyes.
Sakura Matou puffed out her chest, her watery eyes filled with allure: "I know you're a man, senpai."
Jiang Jing looked at her, his gaze sweeping over her breasts before shaking his head: "Go to sleep first, we can talk about those things later. Think things through more, so you don't regret it later."
Jiang Jing's refusal to eat Matou Sakura, who was practically offered to him, wasn't because he was a paragon of virtue, but because his perception of Matou Sakura at that time was still shifting between her seven or eight-year-old self and her current appearance.
Now, eating this young girl doesn't feel quite right. Besides, beautiful women are like fine wine; the longer they're aged, the more fragrant they become. Savoring them slowly is the best way to enjoy them.
Jiang Jing acts solely on his instincts and follows his heart, never letting himself be led by desires. He only eats when he wants to, and if he doesn't want to eat, he won't react even if Matou Sakura strips naked and climbs into bed.
When the sky brightened the next day, Jiang Jing, whose biological clock had returned to normal, yawned and opened his eyes. Looking at the girl lying on top of him in the blanket, he said speechlessly.
"I know I'm very charming, but aren't you afraid I'll look down on you for rushing into this?"
Seeing that Jiang Jing was really asleep in the middle of the night, Matou Sakura, who had climbed into his bed and stayed up all night watching him, smiled gently and said, "I'm not afraid. As long as I can stay by your side, Sakura doesn't care about anything else."
Faced with the almost pathological girl, Jiang Jing became a little more serious and began to brainwash her again: "You can't be like this. A woman without her own characteristics is not even worth a vase."
"Only women with their own unique characteristics and temperament are beautiful. Do you think I would like a woman who is only pretty on the outside?"
Sakura Matou instinctively replied, "No."
Jiang Jing nodded in satisfaction: "That's it. Didn't you say you were going to show me around the city today? Let's get up."
After Jiang Jing stopped talking, Matou Sakura's infatuation faded slightly, and she obediently replied with an extremely gentle smile, "Yes, senpai."
After saying that, Matou Sakura sat up from Jiang Jing's arms, revealing her ample cleavage, because she had taken off everything when she climbed into Jiang Jing's bed last night.
"..." Jiang Jing shook his head.
While Matou Sakura happily went down to make breakfast, Jiang Jing got up unhurriedly, changed his clothes in a flash of light, stretched, opened the door and went out.
At that moment, Medusa, whose room next door had also been tidied up, opened the door and came out. Upon seeing Jiang Jing, she politely said, "Hello, Mr. Kanda."
Jiang Jing nodded and said in a calm tone, "Hello."
The two, who were not familiar with each other, didn't say much after that. They walked down the second floor one after the other to the living room, where Matou Sakura was happily making a sumptuous breakfast behind the combined kitchen counter.
After seeing Jiang Jing come down, Matou Sakura said gently, "Senpai, Rider, you're down now. Breakfast will be ready soon."
Jiang Jing nodded: "Okay, it's been a long time since I've tasted Xiaoying's cooking."
He tasted Matou Sakura's cooking nine years ago when her mother died, and Matou Sakura fell into self-doubt because she didn't feel grief.
"Let me help you, Sakura." While Jiang Jing sat down at the dining table like an old man, Medusa walked over to the kitchen counter and helped Matou Sakura.
A dozen minutes later, a breakfast consisting of a basket of crystal xiaolongbao, a bowl of miso soup, and a plate of pan-fried cod was placed in front of Jiang Jing, and the same was placed in front of Matou Sakura and Medusa opposite him.
Looking at the crystal-clear xiaolongbao and the snow-white, unblemished miso soup, Jiang Jing nodded: "The presentation is already top-notch, I wonder how it tastes."
"Senpai, please try it," Matou Sakura said expectantly.
"Okay." Jiang Jing said, picking up a bun with filling visible inside.
Jiang Jing took a bite of the crystal bun, chewed for a moment, then smiled at the beautiful girl opposite him and said, "Not bad, your cooking skills have improved a lot."
A bright smile immediately appeared on Kirisakura's face: "Really? I'm glad you like it, senpai."
In fact, as extraordinary beings with terrifying mental strength and amazing control over their five senses, if they were truly determined to study culinary arts, their skills could quickly reach the top level among ordinary people.
However, it's not so simple to enter the world of cooking. It requires more effort and some talent, so few people would waste time studying this minor art of culinary pleasure.
Matou Sakura's cooking skills have now reached the initial level of mastery. Ordinary ingredients, after being processed by her, have their unique flavors perfectly blended with the seasonings, giving Jiang Jing a rare opportunity to enjoy delicious food.
