To become a king and a magician

"I really don't know where you, a single-celled organism who only knows how to use mindless magic, get the courage to mock me? You brainless destroyer."

"But I also know magic. I'm a doll and shota enthusiast."

"It's better than you, a younger man who preys on my students."

......

In a corner of the room, the Aozaki sisters began their traditional performance as usual. Although their relationship had improved somewhat back in Misaki City, it had soured again after Aozaki Aoko accidentally revealed that she had taken advantage of Natsukawa Tora a couple of days ago.

If it weren't for the large number of people here, these two sisters would probably have already started fighting.

"Aren't you going to try to dissuade him, Master?" Sajou Rei asked. "On one side is my teacher, and on the other is my girlfriend. It's really hard to choose between helping him and me."

Why not just let them fight? Ideally, they should fight to the point of near death.

(Ai Ge, don't stir up trouble)

(Your thoughts could be a little more positive and uplifting, my other self.)

【You guys—humph!】

Saya Ayaka, angrily shut out by both of them, scurried back to her little dark room.

With a helpless sigh, Natsukawa Tora looked at the only other man in the room besides himself. Sensing Natsukawa Tora's gaze, Odysseus understood and came to Aozaki Touko's side.

"Master, now is not the time to argue. Let's avoid unnecessary fighting. We need to rest now."

"Qingzi, if you keep making noise, you'd better be prepared to not be able to get out of bed all day tomorrow."

Compared to Odysseus's explanation of the advantages and disadvantages, Natsukawa Torato was directly threatening Aozaki Aoko, but Aozaki Aoko knew very well that Natsukawa Torato was definitely not exaggerating.

After considering her own health, Aozaki Aoko glared at her older sister with annoyance, then pulled Natsukawa Tora back onto the sofa: "I'll spare your life this time, Touko."

"Hmm? Who's really letting whom off the hook?" Aozaki Touko glanced at the two meaningfully. "Young man, don't hold back and teach her a lesson."

"Now is not the time to talk about this, teacher. More important than teasing me is the battle two days from now—"

"Oh right, we're talking about two days from now."

Morgan suddenly interrupted Natsukawa Tiger.

“Merry didn’t mention it before, but Caster’s Master has another message for us to pass on—regarding the matter you discussed a couple of days ago, he wants to discuss it with you again during the battle two days from now.”

69. Prepare to assemble and attack King Solomon.

The matter we discussed a couple of days ago?

"It's that matter, Master."

"Artoria asked."

The burning of humanity due to the establishment of Chaldea and Professor Lef's despair—this is the only thing that Natsukawa Torato and Marisbury ever talked about.

The negotiations broke down, with Natsukawa Torato wanting to prevent the burning of humanity, but Marisbury insisted on establishing Chaldea.

Natsukawa Tora thought that after that, the two of them could only decide the outcome of the Holy Grail War based on the result of the Holy Grail War. He did not expect that Marisbury would want to discuss it with him again.

(What is he planning?)

Marisbury is not the kind of person who will change his mind based on someone else's opinion. Natsukawa Torama knew this after their last meeting, and he is definitely still thinking about establishing Chaldea.

So, what else does he want to discuss with me?

(Could it be... that thing about me joining Chaldea?)

This is currently the only topic that Marisbury can discuss with Natsukawa Torama: to have Natsukawa Torama join Chaldea as a combat officer and to monitor his every move, stopping any actions that could potentially lead to the burning of humanity—these are the conditions Marisbury has set.

Natsukawa Tora refused that time because he knew that Maris Billy would try his best to conduct the experiment behind his back. After all, he was a magician, and it was all too common for him to bypass a contract that had already been established for a certain purpose.

(If you want to discuss this matter with me again, does that mean you've thought of a way to get me to agree? Maris Billy.)

After thinking it over, this is the only possibility.

And just as Natsukawa Torato was pondering—

"That matter? Which matter?"

Led by Rei Sajou, the others in the room looked at Toramaru Natsukawa and Artoria with puzzled expressions. Judging from their situation, the matter seemed to involve the Celestial Sovereign, and it was quite significant; otherwise, Toramaru Natsukawa wouldn't have been sent to discuss it with him.

"Is something big about to happen, brother?" Grey asked with some concern.

He patted Grey's hair to comfort her, and Natsukawa Tora nodded slightly: "It's a big deal, but it hasn't happened yet, and there's still time to stop it before it happens... It's not good to keep it from you any longer, so I'll just tell you directly."

"In reality, the Celestial Sovereign is planning to establish a special organization called the Humanity Protection Agency - Chaldea..."

Natsukawa Tora didn't hold back. He told Marisbury's apparent purpose, his connection to Chaldea, and the situation after the Burning of Humanity... He told everything he could now, but he kept the fact that King Solomon was the mastermind hidden.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he felt there was no need to. For now, it was enough for the people present to understand what might happen in the future.

After listening to Natsukawa Tora's story, the entire room fell into a long silence.

Human history will be burned away, and a being known as the Demon King will create seven singularities in the past, burning away human history and rebuilding it from scratch. The cause of this event is the establishment of Chaldea and the despair felt by a magician named Lev.

"Rafe? I never imagined he would be the culprit who caused the destruction of the world."

"Aozaki Touko sighed."

"Orange, do you know him?"

“I guess you could call him a friend. He’s a rare magician with the imaginary number attribute, and he used to be a famous child prodigy at the Clock Tower. Because of some technical connections and the fact that we have similar ideas, we get along fairly well,” Aozaki Touko explained. “So, according to the boy, why don’t we just go and take care of that guy Leif now? I remember he’s been holed up in the archaeology lab for the last twenty years, so he’s easy to find.”

Speaking of this, Natsukawa Tora gave an awkward laugh: "Going there now would take quite a bit of time, and compared to going to England to kill people, stopping the establishment of Chaldea would be much faster right now... Actually, I should have thought of this before, but I forgot about it when I first came back."

How could they forget about matters concerning world safety and the survival of humanity?

"It's rare to see a young man so careless."

“Master, you should keep such an important matter in mind.”

"Back then, I didn't know that the Celestial Science Department was going to participate in the Holy Grail War. If I had known, I would have definitely gone and taken care of Professor Rafe first!"

If Marisbury doesn't participate in the Holy Grail War, it means the timeline won't lean towards the incineration of humanity. Natsukawa Torato also doesn't have the idea of ​​killing people for no reason, since Professor Rafe will take care of himself without his intervention.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Aozaki Aoko asked. "Are you going to stop the establishment of that Chaldea thing?"

Natsukawa Tora nodded: "This is the most direct method. As long as I can win the Holy Grail War and obtain the Holy Grail, the establishment of Chaldea will be interrupted due to insufficient funds."

"Rounding it up, the cause of the world's destruction is actually money."

"It's a laughable statement, but incredibly, in a way, it makes sense—but then you'd have to face that Caster head-on." Morgan frowned. "The Magic King who commands seventy-two demon gods, each requiring multiple servants to defeat. Besides, magic used by humans is ineffective against him. Are you sure you're okay with that?"

"I think it should be fine."

The one who answered Morgan was not Natsukawa Tora himself, but Aozaki Touko: "If you hadn't caught me before, I wanted to come and form an alliance with the boy. Even if it is a legendary demon god, as long as it is still a spirit, it is definitely no match for the boy's demon eye."

"The Eye of the Soul-Eating Demon?"

"Besides the boy, there's another Mystic Eye user here whose Mystic Eyes are even more outrageous than the boy's, right, Shiki?"

Ryougi Shiki, whose name was called, raised her head and revealed her now ice-blue demonic eyes: "I will come even if you don't tell me. I was beaten twice, and I have to get my revenge."

Previously, Natsukawa Torato had only had a misunderstanding with Ryougi Shiki, which led to her constantly causing trouble for him. Now, after suffering two setbacks at the hands of King Solomon, Ryougi Shiki may not say anything, but she is definitely seething with anger.

Even if others try to stop her, she will forcefully get involved in the battle two days later.

(The current situation is that the two sides are about to form an alliance, aren't you going to express your opinion, Master?)

Scáthach, who was quite interested in the current situation, asked Aozaki Aoko in her mind.

(Huh? What's this attitude? If it's about forming an alliance, didn't we already ally with Tiger?)

(That was my oversight.)

The two Masters are so familiar with each other that even if they were to fight, it would probably only be a brief skirmish. Besides, based on their interactions over the past few days, it's fair to say they've already formed an alliance.

The Tripartite Alliance – A United Front Against Caster.

"Beep beep beep beep beep—!"

Suddenly, a cell phone rang urgently. Everyone looked at Xia Chuanhu, and after taking out their phones to see who was calling, Xia Chuanhu was slightly taken aback.

Arcueid

70. Restraint: Kids, stop fighting, the house is going to fall apart!

New Capital, the top of the City Hall building.

"Sōji! This thing called a cell phone is amazing! It can talk to someone even if you don't know where they are! I just talked to Tora!"

Arcueid, holding up a cell phone, excitedly showed it off to Okita Souji.

"Although I can do something similar, modern technology is really convenient. No wonder the mystical world is gradually declining. It seems like everyone has one of these phones, right?"

"Master, I understand your excitement, but why did we come to such a high place?"

Okita Souji could never understand her Master's thoughts—for some reason, she particularly liked standing in very high places and looking down. Of course, it wasn't that she didn't like being down there, but rather that she would run to a very high place whenever she had free time.

"Hmm? Souji, don't you think the view from here is very open? And from a higher vantage point, you can see immediately what's happening around you, right?"

"In general terms, that is indeed the case."

Behind the two, as if walking directly out of space, Natsukawa Torata suddenly appeared there.

Upon seeing him, Arcueid immediately gave him a bear hug and pounced on him: "Tiger! Long time no see!"

"It hasn't been that long, has it? Didn't we just see each other a couple of days ago?" Natsukawa Torama caught Arcueid as she pounced on him, patted her head, and then looked at Okita Souji. "Assassin too, it's been a while. Arcueid must have caused you quite a bit of trouble, right?"

"No, it's not that big... Master."

Looking at Natsukawa Tora who appeared in front of her, Okita Souji felt somewhat complicated. She remembered what Sajou Rei had done to her. Even if the memories were not shared, the body was still the same. So after a moment of confusion, she understood what had happened to her.

After that, Okita Souji immediately told her Master, but to her surprise, her Master was not angry or upset at all. Instead, she readily admitted that she had tacitly approved of it.

After all, Tiger and I are family now. What's mine is his, and what's his is mine, so it doesn't matter whose Servant you are.

Given such reasons, and a Master who completely disregards the Holy Grail War and even his own subordinate relationship, Okita Souji truly had no way to deal with it.

Meanwhile, after pounced on Natsukawa Torama, Arcueid took several deep breaths: "Sniff sniff~~~ Hmm, this smell, as expected, Torama is now almost the same as me, but the purity is still far behind, and the conversion speed is a bit slow."

Xia Chuanhu is currently a half-elf, with the elven part making up half of his being. It will take five years for the remaining half to transform into an elf.

"Anyway, come on, Tiger, call me 'sister' first!"

"what?"
