To become a king and a magician

A golden meteor shower suddenly fell from the sky!

78. It didn't specify which method of riding on someone's face.

At this point in time, anything can happen, which is normal.

Even if an explosion occurs in broad daylight, it is still within the realm of common sense, especially in this capital city, where people are already used to explosions happening all the time.

Even so, the explosion that has occurred has still stunned everyone who could see it.

Because the explosion occurred at Army headquarters.

Jumping down from Vimana and landing in the ruins blasted out by Angelica, Natsukawa Tora waved his hand, creating a gust of wind that swept away the surrounding smoke and fire. He quickly scanned his surroundings: "It's really been destroyed cleanly. I don't even know if the people inside are alive or dead. Well, it's none of my business."

"Compared to this—"

"Bang----!"

Just as Natsukawa Tora's gaze was fixed in a certain direction, a loud bang rang out from below the ruins, accompanied by countless rubble and building debris being blasted away. Oda Nobunaga leaped from below to the surface.

Brushing the dust off his uniform, Oda Nobunaga looked at Natsukawa Torato and said, "I almost thought I was going to die. You're really quite rude to launch a sneak attack like that."

"Why bother with so much during wartime?" Xia Chuanhu laughed. "Besides, I was attacked by you before, so isn't it normal to attack back now? After all, I don't like to hold grudges overnight."

"Heh heh~~~ I don't dislike your idea. The longer a grudge drags on, the more trouble it will eventually turn into. Settling a grudge in the shortest time can save a lot of trouble."

That's what she said, but before Oda Nobunaga could finish speaking, countless matchlock guns appeared directly in front of her and were aimed at Natsukawa Torara's face.

"However, there's a saying that revenge only leads to more revenge, right? I'm just like you; I really hate being humiliated like this. If it's convenient, just stand there and let me shoot a few times."

"I'm sorry, but I have to refuse. Although I won't die, I will still feel pain." Xia Chuanhu waved his hand. "Besides, it depends on the situation. I don't actually dislike being ridden on the face. In fact, I would say it's quite nice."

"Huh?"

Natsukawa Torato's sudden remark left Oda Nobunaga momentarily speechless.

Being ridden on the face and still feeling good? Is that something you can actually feel good about?

"Are you... a pushover?"

"No."

Natsukawa Torato replied decisively: "However, you really do care about some inexplicable things. Didn't you say you were going to shoot me? But I just casually said something and you got sidetracked. Is the world-famous Oda Nobunaga perhaps a curious little girl?"

"That's a pretty good assessment."

Oda Nobunaga laughed.

"From a young age, I've always had a slightly lower resistance to things imported from the southern barbarians, and I get very excited when I encounter something new. It's still the same now. Unfortunately, my country is so weak and powerless that I can't properly experience many new things from later generations, which is something I can't help but do."

Japan is now gradually heading towards defeat.

This fact led Oda Nobunaga in the present world to conclude that "the times need her once again." Therefore, she became the so-called heroic spirit who saved the country and began to implement the policy of unifying Japan by force. For this great goal, sacrificing some of her personal interests was not an unacceptable thing.

Similarly, for this grand goal, she will overcome any obstacle, no matter what it may be.

"Armored gunners, form ranks!"

The matchlock guns scattered in front of Oda Nobunaga immediately formed a square formation of four rows and four columns upon hearing her words, all aiming at Natsukawa Torata.

Just as she was about to give the order to fire—

"Waaaaaahh ...

The sirens, which had only just stopped, blared once again through the skies of the capital.

It's an air raid siren.

"Tch, they really came at the worst possible time."

After a moment of silence, Oda Nobunaga suddenly pursed his lips and then withdrew the arquebus aimed at Natsukawa Torato: "When will this cycle of revenge end? That saying is true. Let's settle our grudges for now. But remember, the next time we meet, I will definitely shoot your head through."

"Whoosh—!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Oda Nobunaga mounted his arquebus and quickly flew into the sky.

retreat?

"It doesn't seem like it. They must have something important to deal with. Air raid warning... Oh, are bombers flying this way? They're going to intercept enemy planes to protect the country."

"You're really busy, Oda Nobunaga."

"Lord Xia Chuan."

As she maneuvered Vimana to land beside Natsukawa Torato, Angelica asked, "Should we chase after them?"

Xia Chuanhu shook his head: "No, no need. There's no point in chasing after her. Since she says that today's grievances are over, let's leave it at that and not disturb her patriotic mission."

"Let's dispel Vimana and Dream Summoning, leave here and find a place to stay, then summon the Servant."

Looking up in the direction Oda Nobunaga had flown, Natsukawa Torara sighed softly: "As expected, I just can't bring myself to like this era, or this country."

"Let's finish this quickly so we can go home sooner."

————————————————————————————

Above the clouds.

Oda Nobunaga, standing on his arquebus, glanced back at what was behind him.

"He didn't chase after us. That's good. I think he's sensible. I don't want to let personal feelings get into business."

"So......"

Shifting his gaze straight ahead, Oda Nobunaga, with his Servant-level eyesight, could clearly see the countless planes flying towards him.

"Is that an enemy country's bomber? Now they even have these iron monsters—that's amazing."

This is a new type of weapon that Oda Nobunaga had never seen before. If a surprise attack is launched from this altitude, it will be difficult to deal with even if preparations are made in advance. Its strategic value is considerable.

Modern warfare is indeed much more advanced than that of the Warring States period.

As one of the three heroes who roamed the Sengoku period during his lifetime, Oda Nobunaga was quite fond of these iron-clad birds that flew in the sky.

Unfortunately...

"Before you invade the land behind me, please remain in this sky forever."

"Armored gunners, form ranks!"

Countless—a total of three thousand—arquebuses appeared around Oda Nobunaga, aimed at the bombers in front of him, and the Demon King coldly waved his hand down.

"Fire!"

79. Miss Okita wins big!

Six hours after Natsukawa Torato and Angelica arrived at the Imperial Capital Singularity.

After experiencing a series of events, including being attacked by Oda Nobunaga, blowing up the army headquarters, and searching for a temporary inn, the two were finally able to rest for a while as night fell.

Sitting by the window on the second floor of a hotel, Natsukawa Tora gazed at the still-sparkling lights of the outskirts of the capital in the distance.

"They're still fighting? They really never get tired of it. Why not just cleanly and decisively admit defeat in this pointless war? This country is really stubborn to the core. Although, objectively speaking, I don't dislike them... Angelica, what do you think would happen if I threw a moon there right now?"

"The war should end in an instant."

In the room behind Natsukawa Torata, Angelica, who was sitting at a round wooden table, replied, "Lord Natsukawa, do you... loathe this era?"

"Yeah, I hate it to death. To be honest, I wish I could smash this place to pieces. But if I really wanted to, I wouldn't do it. I hate it as much as I hate it, and I'm just saying it in anger. If I really hated it to the core, I would have smashed several moons and razed this place to the ground when I first arrived here."

"Although that would also result in heavy casualties among the general public."

Japan of this era is an unforgivable entity, but one should not vent one's anger on one's future self, nor should one take out one's anger on civilians who have also suffered from the war.

It would be enough to raze the Army Headquarters to the ground this afternoon.

Of course, even though it's called headquarters, there probably aren't many people inside. Even if one or two manage to escape, we can deal with those later. Right now, the more important thing is how to resolve this singularity.

Before that—

"Let's start summoning Servants."

Moving the round wooden table between the two to the corner, Natsukawa Tiger used his wind blade to slightly cut his fingertip, dripping a drop of his blood onto the floor. The moment the blood touched the floor, the tiny drop instantly spread in all directions, expanding into a Servant summoning magic circle on the floor in the blink of an eye.

Standing up, Natsukawa Torara held his hand, engraved with Command Seals, in front of him and chanted the Servant summoning incantation—

"The above is omitted—the guardian of the scales has come in response to my call."

"Zheng—!"

The magic circle suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

The next moment, a figure slowly emerged from the radiance.

"The new captain of the first squad, Okita Souji, has come to visit!"

Just as Natsukawa Torara had expected, a cherry-haired girl dressed in a light blue haori appeared from the summoning circle.

"You are my Master—Eh?! Lord Natsukawa?!"

Just as Okita Souji was about to give a cool self-introduction, he froze on the spot when he saw who his Master was.

Waving the Command Seals on the back of his hand, Natsukawa Torama laughed, "Oh, it's been a while, Souji. Sorry, I'll have to ask you for a favor this time."

————————————————————————————

Okita Souji.

Ten years ago, during the Holy Grail War, he was summoned by Arcueid as an Assassin, but in reality, he was dispatched by the Counter Force to ensure that Natsukawa Torara could successfully become the agent of the Spirit's Counter Force.

After Natsukawa Torama became an elf and a holy swordsman, she was forcibly detained by Sajou Rei as a small act of revenge against the Counter Force, making her Natsukawa Torama's familiar and remaining in the mortal world.

However, unlike Atalanta who received the Holy Grail and suffered, or Artoria who was unable to completely separate from Natsukawa Torata and had to stay, Okita Souji is still a Servant. If the contract is dissolved or the supply of magic is interrupted, he will soon return to the Throne of Heroes.

Therefore, for the past ten years, Natsukawa Torato has been supplying magic power to Okita Souji. This is because he is an elf and has an inexhaustible supply of magic power; otherwise, any other magician would have been drained of it long ago.

In exchange, Okita Souji has always fulfilled his duties as a servant, such as occasionally going to the Clock Tower to give Natsukawa Torama a lesson in self-defense, or accepting Natsukawa Torama's orders to handle certain matters.

However, most of the time, she was basically idle. As a result, Okita Souji was depressed for a period of time a few years ago. She was constantly consuming Natsukawa Tora's magic but could not use it for him. Miss Okita almost had psychological problems at that time.

Fortunately, after that, Meryl provided her with psychological counseling. As for how the counseling was conducted, only Meryl and Okita Souji, the two parties involved, know the details.

And now-

"I see. So, I was summoned to resolve the events occurring in this singularity?"
