It is an extension of the present world!

But something strange happened. Scáthach, who could use runes, easily identified what the hand that came from somewhere had passed through!

source!

The root of the world! These 'giant hands' not only seeped into the root itself, but even used it like a public bus, bypassing the gates of the Land of Shadows and using the root to open a back door, extending their hands right in front of her!!

"No!—This is a hand that's directly reaching out from the source!?" Scáthach jumped back, dodging the invisible giant hand.

"Huh?" came a questioning voice, very childish, like that of a seven or eight-year-old girl.

"Let me tell you something first. The best thing I've ever done is chasing after a beggar and giving him a steamed bun but no water! The worst thing I've ever done is chasing after another beggar and giving him water but no steamed bun!" "Master, what kind of bizarre good and bad deeds are these…?"

It's the younger voice of the two.

When will a seven- or eight-year-old girl be able to reach the root of the problem?

Scáthach didn't know, but she was very excited!

Excitedly, she drew all her weapons and stared at the invisible hand that reached out again—she hadn't felt this excited in a long time!

"bring it on!!"

"I have three Command Seals. Stay with me for life, behave well, and I'll seduce you after they expire!"

"Master! This purple-haired old woman is so slippery! She's like an eel, I can't catch her, what should I do!"

Scáthach dodged the approaching invisible hands with a swift movement, simultaneously drawing a simple rune in the air with the tip of her spear before her crimson spear spiraled forward! "Ah!?" She successfully pierced the invisible hands!

This wasn't because she was called an old woman, but simply because the enemy was a powerful being who had reached the Root, and she became excited!

"Did you get bitten by a mudfish after trying to catch it?"

That's not all!

Scáthach muttered to herself, her hands moving non-stop. Several runes quickly solidified under the movement of the spear tip, making her movements to dodge counterattacks even faster.

However, this level of skill is far from sufficient to deal with a magician who has entered the Root.

"—Gáe! Bolg…"

Snapped!

Scáthach felt as if she had crashed into a wall as soon as she began to charge her Noble Phantasm! A wall that was so hard she couldn't break through!

Unlike the invisible hand from before, this 'wall' seemed to appear out of thin air. Without any warning, he crashed right into it!

And there wasn't even time for Scáthach to react!

Those invisible hands seized the opportunity and firmly grasped her in their palms. This power from the source made it impossible for Scáthach to resist!

"We've caught them, but this kind of plot just feels like something's missing."

"Master! I know, I know!"

"Shut up! What do you know now!?"

"Aiko knows everything!"

"...Kids shouldn't look at this nonsense!"

"It was clearly the master who brought up this topic..."

It's so noisy!

It wasn't that the conversation between the two was noisy, but the moment Scáthach was grabbed by those invisible hands, memories she had never encountered before, memories called common sense for ordinary people, kept popping into her mind!

These memories appeared abruptly and violently!

Like a walnut being cracked open, something pried open her head and forcefully shoved all this useless knowledge into her head! And it seemed like something else was stuffed in as well, and that thing was the real culprit behind her headache!

The Holy Grail... Things to Note in Modern Society... Heroic Spirits, Servants, Masters... Aika is the cutest in the world... Aika is the most important person to my master...

"Wh...what nonsense is this...?" A bunch of junk information instantly filled Scáthach's entire head!

It was forced in through the large hands that grabbed her!

Is this how the power of the Root is used?!

"Ah, right, I forgot I haven't finished reciting the incantation yet!"

"Take your one-way ticket! You have to come today, whether you want to or not, the train doors are welded shut!!"

Scáthach felt a flash of light beneath her feet as a Servant summoning circle, imbued with her memories, appeared beneath her.

Even now that she's been captured and her brain is being crammed with junk information, Scáthach still couldn't help but chuckle bitterly when she saw this. She never imagined she'd have to use this spell to summon the dead one day.

The light flickered, and the environment changed.

Soon, Scáthach arrived at an unfamiliar warehouse from the lifeless Land of Shadows, where a woman exuding intellectual beauty and a little girl crouching to one side with her head in her hands were watching her.

Scáthach rubbed her temples; her headache had subsided, and the junk information that had filled her mind had calmed down. Information about the Holy Grail War then surfaced in her memory.

Naturally, Scáthach also realized that the intellectually beautiful woman in front of her was her Master!

“Servant, Lancer, you…” In the blink of an eye, Scáthach was surprised to find that her Master had disappeared!

It disappeared right under her nose!

She only realized that her Master had run up to her side when she felt two soft mounds press against her right side and a pair of hands hugging her thighs!

"Master, what are you doing!? Hey! Wait!! Don't lick—"

Chapter 44 Lancer is not Lancer, yet he is Lancer

"So, Master came here on a one-way ticket, and he won't go back even after he runs out of Command Seals?"

The Servant summoning ceremony has ended. After a friendly exchange, Shirou went back, and now the three members of the Ruyuki family are having lunch.

Well, what Ruoxue found rather regrettable was that her 'Servant' Scáthach was a bit far from her, sitting opposite her at the farthest point on the dining table.

What a pity, he was clearly her 'Servant', they should have gotten closer to each other.

"Master, please don't look at me with those strange eyes." Scáthach, who was directly opposite Ruo Xue, noticed Ruo Xue's gaze and her body trembled involuntarily.

Because of that friendly exchange this morning, she's now bare-legged.

Scáthach genuinely didn't know that after the Age of Gods ended, the truth of the Land of Shadows gradually dissipated into the mortal world, and it should have been highly unlikely that someone in her modern world would be so fanatical about her.

and…

Her long, golden hair was tied up and secured behind her head with a hairpin. Her beautiful face was very neat, with regular features. The frameless glasses on her nose added an intellectual beauty to her appearance. It was really hard to understand how such a person could do such a thing.

As a result, the pants she had worn for a long time are now unwearable, and she will never be able to wear them again.

“Ah, it’s nothing to worry about.” —Scáthach thought it was not a trivial matter.

"I can sense that the connection between me and my master isn't very strong. We don't even need a magical energy supply, and my Command Seals are basically useless. It's just that in the Holy Grail system, my master and I are linked together, forming a Master-Servant relationship and occupying one of the seven slots." — I am not your master.

"So, Xiong Luoli, did you just bring the person here directly?" Ruo Xue asked Aika, who had been maintaining her composure.

Upon hearing this, Scáthach also turned her gaze to the little girl.

If Scáthach hadn't experienced the true power of the Root before being brought here, she wouldn't have believed that a seven or eight-year-old girl could accomplish a feat no one in the Age of Gods had ever achieved: reaching the Root and being able to control it.

This unexpected event surprised, disbelieved, and excited Scáthach!

“Miss Scáthach, please don’t look at Aika with those strange eyes,” Aika said with a smile.

Everyone felt that this sentence sounded familiar.

"I'm sorry for the late introduction."

"Queen of the Land of Shadows, Miss Scáthach, I am Ayaka Sajō, the most beloved disciple of my master. Please take care of me!"

As she spoke, Aika even gave a proper bow to the Yamato Nadeshiko! Her behavior was dignified and composed, not like a bratty child, but like a young lady who had lived in seclusion for a long time!

Ruoxue shivered!

"What are you doing, little bear! Be normal, I'm scared!" Ruoxue, hugging her arms tightly, quickly moved away from the little bear beside her, and moved her feet around the table, trying to get closer to Scáthach.

Seeing this, Scáthach also shuddered and silently moved her chair closer to Ayaka.

"Hmm! Master, please don't misunderstand. Aika's profession is, after all, that of a young lady. It's only natural that she knows some manners~" Aika found it very amusing and chose to join the battle, her little hands gripping the chair as she moved with Ruo Xue.

At this moment, a strange scene unfolded in the living room.

Ruo Xue moved her chair closer and closer to Scáthach, who moved her chair closer to Aika without making a sound. Aika's chair lifted off the ground and floated a few centimeters, moving closer to Ruo Xue at a speed that maintained balance with the other two.

For a moment, the living room was filled with the sound of chairs moving, which was quite eerie! "Stop! Stop playing! Everyone stop!" In the end, Ruo Xue, who was a little dizzy from spinning around, couldn't hold on any longer. The fight ended with Aika leaning against Ruo Xue and Scáthach leaning against Aika.

As a researcher specializing in climbing technology, Ruoxue's physical fitness is still too weak (laughs).

"Anyway, it's definitely the same person as Master, right? After all, he didn't die." Ruo Xue changed the subject, and Aika nodded in affirmation.

She directly rescued this purple-haired B from the Root for her master's sake, so how could it not be the real person? It's not a Heroic Spirit or Servant projection, it doesn't exist.

“Master,” Scáthach felt she had to say something, “no matter what, our contract only lasts for the Holy Grail War. Once it ends…”

"Speaking of the Holy Grail War, Ayaka, do you know what time period it is right now?" Ruo Xue glanced at Scáthach, then ignored her.

Scáthach's eyelids twitched, but after rubbing her smooth legs slightly, she said nothing and gently moved away a little.

She still has a red mark on her thigh that hasn't faded...

She was also quite curious about what kind of information a seven or eight-year-old girl, whom her Master trusted so much, could possess.

"Ah, don't worry, Master! Aika doesn't know how she could possibly lose this Holy Grail War!" Aika proudly puffed out her chest!

Although it may seem arrogant, both Ruo Xue and Scáthach actually agree with it.

After all, Scáthach is a living, breathing demigod at the peak of her powers.

The Servants summoned in the Holy Grail War are merely projections of Heroic Spirits in the Hall of Heroes. Their abilities are limited not only by their Masters but also by their class. Even with class adjustments, they are ultimately not Heroic Spirits at their peak.

Leaving aside Ruo Xue for now, with a bear loli named Ai Ge and the demigod Scáthach, it's truly impossible to know how they could lose.

"But we can't just make promises like 'flying dragons are coming right up to our faces,' Aigo."

"Don't worry, don't worry, Master. As Aika can 'see,' Saber is still Saber, still watching the snow. Director Ken and his wife are on their way. The duet between This World's Pot and Father Joy has only just begun. We were the first to summon our Servants~"

"I see. So that means I can go through every single classic scene in fanfiction with all my energy." Ruoxue pushed up her glasses.

"Ah, no, when Master came over he said Lancer, right? The brush got knocked off?"

"Master, Master, you still have those two skills, you're still Lancer, and you still got Director Ken to wear the green one." Aika glanced at Scáthach, who was standing quietly as a beautiful girl, and looked at the red marks left on her plump thighs. She then looked down at her own thighs and clicked her tongue softly.
