To become a king and a magician

"Look what you've done, you idiot!"

Rin Tohsaka threw a stack of newspapers at Natsukawa Tora's face, who was lying on the sofa, and shouted angrily with an expression that looked like she was about to cry.

"You actually shattered the Mirror World and even brought down a moon! Do you know how much chaos Fuyuki City was in last night?! Thanks to this, Luvia, the church, and I are exhausted from cleaning up after you! Luvia hasn't even had a break yet. Don't you think before you act?! Don't just use that level of powerful magic like that!"

"Oh, oh... that must have been very hard on you..."

Seeing Rin Tohsaka's imposing aura, Natsukawa Torato, knowing he was in the wrong, could only keep agreeing with her.

Last night—or rather, early morning—because it was the first time he had used Arcueid's power, Natsukawa Torama, in his excitement, performed a Moonfall, smashing the fake Hercules along with the Mirror Dimension to pieces.

In terms of the result, there was actually no problem. The pseudo-Hercules had all his remaining life points wiped out, and all his class cards were recovered.

The problem was that the power of the moonfall was simply too great. Even though Natsukawa Tora had intentionally controlled himself and not exerted his maximum power, the resulting impact still spread throughout Fuyuki City, including but not limited to strong tremors comparable to an earthquake, problems with tides, extensive building damage, and residents in the surrounding area falling into comas...

In short, Fuyuki City is in complete chaos right now.

"I'm really sorry, is there anything I can do to compensate you?" Natsukawa Torato couldn't help but ask. "Although I don't actually have anything to compensate you with, the money that the Jewel Elder gave me hasn't arrived yet, and I'm penniless right now. All I can offer is some magic knowledge and exceptional fighting strength."

"I didn't say you had to pay compensation—although personally, I really wanted you to pay until you were bankrupt, turned into a destitute vagrant, and finally committed seppuku to atone for your sins, but considering the actual situation, you don't need to pay compensation." Rin Tohsaka's tone was quite regretful.

No compensation required?

Hearing this, Grey, who had been nervously watching from the side, breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly couldn't help asking, "But... is it really okay not to pay compensation? The losses my brother caused... must have been huge, right?"

"Well... to put it simply, it's the same principle as nuclear weapons."

Rin Tohsaka explained, "In the current magic world, your brother is an incredibly powerful magician who possesses world-destroying magic. Everyone is worried that he might smash the moon down again. Nobody dares to offend him, not even to ask for compensation. If you upset him during discussions about compensation and cause the moon to fall again..."

The words weren't finished, but both of them understood what Rin Tohsaka meant.

People in the magic world are simply afraid, afraid that Natsukawa Tora will smash the moon anytime, anywhere, regardless of the occasion.

Do I seem like such an irrational person?

"Any rational person wouldn't smash the moon down in the city center! Reflect on your actions, you idiot!" Rin Tohsaka was furious as she looked at the innocent-looking Natsukawa Torato. "Is it really necessary to use such a world-destroying magic to deal with just a Shadow Servant?"

"No, it's just that my hands were itching... But I did go too far this time, I'm sorry, I'm reflecting on it."

"Quickly," Natsukawa Torama bowed his head and apologized to Tohsaka Rin. Although it was unintentional, a mistake is a mistake, and he wasn't so willful as to think he was right.

"Are you sure you don't need me to compensate you? My magic tricks can help with the reconstruction to some extent."

"I already said I don't need it. Well, if you want to work for free, then do as you please. I can't control you." Rin Tohsaka sighed helplessly. "Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you. It's the magic world's final arrangement for you."

Xia Chuanhu frowned: "Arrangements?"

"After all, you are a monster with power far exceeding that of a Shadow Servant, and you can even summon the moon. The magic world believes that it is necessary to monitor a dangerous individual like you—to put it bluntly, they just want to place a few people around you to report your life information regularly."

"A surveillance agent? I don't really like being watched all the time."

“It’s no use refusing. If it doesn’t work openly, there will be people watching us in secret.” Rin Tohsaka shrugged. “Just be understanding of those elderly people who can’t take a fright. They only feel at ease when everything is under their watchful eyes.”

Rin Tohsaka's words made Gray look at Torakawa with concern. She knew that her brother didn't like this kind of thing. Even though he was happy to operate within the rules and was willing to abide by them, Torakawa always disdained unreasonable things that were being imposed on him.

(Are we going to have a falling out?)

Natsukawa Torama's silence made Tohsaka Rin nervous. She had come as a semi-persuader, since Fuyuki City was under the jurisdiction of her Tohsaka family. As the head of the Tohsaka family, she had to come here. If Natsukawa Torama refused, she would have a headache later.

"Shouldn't a magician be focused solely on getting to the Root? Why bother with outside affairs? The Mage's Association is the same in every world... The power struggles have been going on for thousands of years, shouldn't they be coming to an end soon?"

Xia Chuanhu's tone was somewhat helpless: "So, who has been chosen as the monitor? Has it been decided?"

“The church and the Mage's Association will each send one person, and for the association… it’s me.” Rin Tohsaka pointed to herself. “I volunteered. You wouldn’t want two strangers around now, would you? Besides, Fuyuki City is under the jurisdiction of my Tohsaka family. Of course, I won’t interfere too much in your daily life, at most I’ll call you once or twice a day. Is that alright?”

Making just a few phone calls to confirm the itinerary—this level of surveillance is indeed quite lenient.

"Is this alright?" Natsukawa Tora asked. "Is it really okay to be subject to such lenient surveillance of someone like me, whom you consider a 'dangerous element'?"

“Anyway, my surveillance won’t work, and you have a real monitor, don’t you?” Rin Tohsaka’s gaze fell on Gray. “You’d better keep an eye on your brother, Gray.”

"Leave it to me, Tohsaka-neechan. I'll definitely take good care of my brother!"

If we're talking about people who can keep Natsukawa Tora in check, besides Meryl from another world, the only one is Grey, who acts as his housekeeper. Grey's words might even be more effective than Meryl's.

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka had adopted such a simple, lenient, and even perfunctory attitude, Torara Natsukawa breathed a sigh of relief: "What about the church? Are they going to send people from the burial department directly from the headquarters of the Holy Church?"

“You even know about this kind of thing… Unfortunately, no.” Rin Tohsaka shook her head. “I don’t know who it is either. After all, the church and the association have never had a good relationship. Maybe it’s some stranger you meet someday.”

"I see..."

So, one is bright and one is dark?

Xia Chuanhu sighed wearily, "Sigh, I've only been in this world for less than two days and I've already caused so much trouble. Thinking about it, I've experienced far too much in the last two weeks, haven't I?"

"Let's talk about parallel worlds later. Now that we've finished discussing important matters, let's move on to personal matters—about class cards."

16. The center of Fuyuki City, the Emiya family

Taking out six class cards from the card box on her thigh, Rin Tohsaka said, "I now have six class cards, and counting the Saber cards you have, that makes seven. In conclusion, Luvia and I have completed our mission this time."

"However, if we're talking about the class cards, it's not completely over yet, right?"

The Eindsworth family of magicians from that parallel world that created the Class Cards.

Yesterday, Rin Tohsaka heard Natsukawa Toraya explain everything about the Class Cards, so she knew that Einzworth would definitely come to this world in the near future.

"From what you've said, I can conclude that Einzworth has no obsession with Class Cards, right? Even though they ended up in another world, there's no particular need to retrieve them; he can even destroy them at will."

Natsukawa Torato nodded: "That's right. Class Cards were just Mystic Codes created by Einzworth for a specific purpose. They're basically useless now. Their only remaining purpose is to be used to defeat enemies, right?"

"The reason Eindsworth came here from a parallel world is solely for Miyu, the Holy Grail that has already been completed."

It does not require distorting reality, nor does it require a large amount of magical support, nor is it limited to a certain situation. The Divine Child (Miyu) born into the Sakugetsu family is the Holy Grail that can truly grant any wish. As long as Miyu is obtained, Einzworth's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled.

Therefore, Eindsworth's only purpose was to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

"This is a bit tricky..."

Rin Tohsaka seemed somewhat helpless as she rubbed her forehead.

"If the target is Miyu, that idiot Luvia will definitely not let her go."

"Why?" Grey asked, somewhat puzzled. "Does Miss Luvia care about Miyu?"

“Rather than caring... she has already recognized Miyu as her god-sister.” Rin Tohsaka covered her face and sighed, “She said she couldn’t just sit idly by and do nothing about such a young child, and didn’t want to see Miyu, who had finally escaped the den of demons, end up wandering the streets again, so she simply took her as her god-sister and named her Miyu Edelfelt.”

"..."

Was it unexpected or not? Even with Natsukawa Torato's involvement, Miyu and Luvia's relationship still developed into the situation described in the original work.

Of course, this is a good thing for Miyu. Although Luvia is a magician, she still has humanity. In the original work, she doted on Miyu, and this should not change now.

If Eindsworth tries to take Miyu away, Luvia will definitely object, and a fight will inevitably break out. Then—

"In the end, I'll still have to step in," Xia Chuanhu laughed. "We talked about this yesterday, why bring it up again now? Are you afraid I won't help?"

"That's a consideration. After all, we've only known each other for two days, and the task of retrieving the class cards has already been entirely entrusted to you. Continuing to ask you for help would really damage the face of the Edelfelt family—that's what that guy said."

"To be honest, in my eyes, the behavior of the two of you has already disgraced the family."

"Gurgle—!"

Rin Tohsaka was speechless for a moment, then blushed slightly and took out a black bank card from her pocket: "Please accept this first. Consider it Luvia's advance payment as a thank you gift. The reward that Master promised for recycling the class cards is also in it. Also, starting today, you don't need to live here anymore. Luvia has already found you a place to live."

"Huh?"

"room?"

Natsukawa Tora and Grey were both stunned for a moment.

Luvia actually prepared a house for them? So generous—no, given the Edelfelt family's wealth, this should be a small matter, but why?

"We can't just leave you guys stranded in this hotel, can we? Staying for a few days is fine, but in the long run, we definitely need a place to live, right? The head chef promised to pay you, so the house is mine and Luvia's. Although I think after all you did, smashing the moon, there's absolutely no need to thank you!"

"I'm so sorry, please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do to compensate you."

"I don't even know what to say about how self-aware you are..." Rin Tohsaka sighed helplessly. "Anyway, Luvia and I have already prepared the house and furniture for you. You just need to buy some clothes to change into. We'll be returning this place this afternoon. From now on, you can live comfortably in Fuyuki City. And remember, whatever you do, don't cause any trouble! Please, please, please don't!"

Rin Tohsaka was clearly terrified by Natsukawa Torama's Moonfall. Although she had vaguely understood from their two days together that Natsukawa Torama wasn't the kind of person who would act recklessly, she was just afraid of the worst-case scenario. She really couldn't take another one!

Watching Rin Tohsaka leave the room, Torama Natsukawa got off the bed and stretched: "Sigh, my reputation has really been severely damaged. I'm usually a very kind and approachable person."

“Because your abilities are just too extraordinary, brother. Sister Meryl also said that you are a bit too strong for this modern society,” Grey laughed. “From now on, I will keep a close eye on you and make sure you don’t do anything reckless, just like Sister Tohsaka said.”

"I know."

He responded with a drawn-out tone and changed into the clothes hanging on the sofa.

"Then let's go see the house that Luvia and Rin Tohsaka prepared for us, and then go buy some clothes and furniture that we might need."

"Yes."

——————————————————————————————

The house Luvia prepared for Natsukawa Tiger was in a residential area of ​​Fuyuki City. When Natsukawa Tiger entered the area, he thought that she had arranged for him to live in an ordinary detached house.

but--

"Thud..."

Looking at the luxurious house in front of him, which could be described as a huge villa, Xia Chuanhu was so surprised that the bag he was carrying fell to the ground.

This...this is the room Luvia arranged?

“It’s so big…and so luxurious…” Grey covered her mouth in surprise. “They actually let us live in such a big house…I feel like we’ll feel very uncomfortable.”

Definitely.

Until now, Natsukawa Tora has lived in either rented rooms, simple apartments, or hotel penthouse suites. Although the differences are huge, they are all basically single rooms. Now, suddenly he's moved into a villa similar to Archibald's... and there's an almost identical one right next to it!

“Brother, the nameplate on this side is Miss Luvia’s surname.”

Grey suddenly reminded her.

They're neighbors!?

And if Natsukawa Torama remembers correctly, it should be diagonally opposite...

(Ah, I think I can guess it. It's something like, "Since we're going to build a house here anyway, why not build one in Natsukawa too?")

That's very much in the style of the Edfeldt family; they don't care at all how much it costs to build another house.

“Ah, Mr. Natsukawa, Grey.”

Just then, a somewhat familiar, childish voice came from the side—it was Miyu.
