How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

Scáthach raised an eyebrow, inwardly lamenting that such a young age had already learned to be jealous and competitive; the world was truly going to the dogs.

But the point is, what's so good about the Master being an intellectual beauty in public and a perverted leg-licking maniac in private? It makes no sense at all. Besides, you're a magician who has reached the Root, have some dignity!

"As for Miss Scáthach..." Aika glared at Scáthach, as if she had accidentally seen something strange.

“Although Scáthach is Lancer, she has not actually taken over Lancer’s position. In the Holy Grail system, she belongs to Caster. After all, we summoned Scáthach by exploiting a bug, Master.”

indeed.

After all, Scáthach is not a Heroic Spirit at all; she is the Queen of the Land of Shadows, a living, breathing queen.

Yes, it's still a living, breathing thigh that you can lick, warm but can't become a spirit!

Where did the second flash go in Chapter 45?

It was the same dining table, and the same lunch.

After a brief discussion and obtaining some largely useless information, the atmosphere at the dinner table fell silent once again.

"Ahem!" Ruoxue coughed and said seriously:

"Since we were the first group to summon a Servant, we'll have plenty of free time to play around with now."

"—Master, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"Huh?" Scáthach was taken aback, never expecting the topic to suddenly turn to her.

These two are talking and joking around on their own, as if they don't exist, only glancing at her when they have some desire for her, right?

emmmmm…

Scáthach suddenly felt so tired. She shouldn't have agreed to the summoning, otherwise she wouldn't be in this predicament now—although this summoning was a one-sided forced summoning and she had no choice but to agree.

"Master, since we have such a good opportunity, why don't we make some arrangements as soon as possible and seize victory quickly?" All she wanted now was to end this Holy Grail War as soon as possible and wish for an opponent who could kill her.

To be honest, Scáthach felt annoyed after spending so little time with these two people. They really know how to make others feel bad!

It's even more uncomfortable than being alone in the Land of Shadows!

"Ah, I almost forgot, Master's wish is to die in battle."

“I am not your master.” Scáthach reflexively refuted Ruo Xue’s address this time. “Although I don’t know where you got that from, Master, my wish is indeed to find an opponent who can kill me and kill me in battle.”

"impossible."

Scáthach raised an eyebrow, disagreeing with this statement. "Master, the world is full of wonders. Even if I am very strong now, there will always be geniuses in the world, like Ayaka, who is a prodigy. It's impossible that there is no one in the world who can kill me, right?"

Besides, there's the Holy Grail; if we don't have it, can't we just make one?

Moreover, if Ayaka weren't a warrior, but just a seven or eight-year-old girl, Scáthach would have wanted to engage in a life-or-death battle long ago.

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant... well... I meant that it's something you couldn't possibly do, Master!" Ruo Xue gave up trying to explain.

"Why?" Scáthach didn't ask any further questions, just one sentence.

This is when Aika comes to the stage. Aika has always believed that the main character is always the last to appear, and now is the time for her, as the main character, to make her appearance!

“Let me answer that, Miss Scáthach.” Head held high, chest out, sitting up straight!

"There are very few people in this world who can kill you, and they are all 'very busy people,' so you usually can't find them."

"It's alright, as long as we use the Holy Grail..."

“The Holy Grail is even less likely to work.” Ayaka’s smile widened, giving Scáthach an ominous feeling.

She wasn't stupid; she hadn't thought much of it before, but now that this had been mentioned, Scáthach immediately realized there was something wrong with the Holy Grail.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the Holy Grail really had this function, wouldn't it be better for the seven magicians to fight among themselves or use it together? Why bother summoning Servants?

While it may seem like the risk is spread out and the probability of winning is increased, the chance of making a wish changes from 100% after a victory to 50%. Isn't that strange? It's not in line with the magician's nature at all!

Therefore, it is necessary to utilize Servants!

Thinking of this, Scáthach's eyes sharpened, and even she, usually so calm, felt a surge of anger! "This Holy Grail is corrupted. The details are too long to explain in detail, but all you need to know is that it has been corrupted by the evil of this world, so it cannot grant the right wishes," Ruo Xue interjected.

However, in order to prevent Scáthach from having any unrealistic expectations, Ruo Xue continued:

"However, even if the Holy Grail is not tainted, as a Servant, one has no right to make a wish."

“Master, Command Seals are ultimately just a system developed by modern mages. They rely on the magic power of the Greater Grail to restrain Servants, and they are useless against top-tier Servants.” Scáthach believed that the Master deliberately left behind Command Seals to make him commit suicide.

This is the most normal thought.

But then I thought about it again and realized that it wasn't right. Just like before, there was no need for the seven Masters to summon Servants.

"...Then Master, can you tell me why?" She sighed. This time, her long-lost curiosity made her confide in her Master, this pervert.

Scáthach has a feeling, whether it's a misperception or not, that this is just the beginning.

"It's very simple. Servants are merely optional batteries for activating the Holy Grail." There's not much to say about the truth of the Holy Grail; everyone basically understands it.

The Holy Grail is not actually omnipotent. The claim that it is omnipotent and can grant any wish is just a propaganda slogan for Heroic Spirits. Although for magicians, being able to open the gate to the Root is indeed omnipotent.

But to open the door to the source, the magic power accumulated over sixty years of spiritual veins is enough; otherwise, there wouldn't be only five magicians in the world.

Therefore, the Holy Grail requires more magic power and more batteries, and Servants are the batteries chosen by the original three starter families.

When the Holy Grail War finally ends, the Servants who act as batteries will naturally be put to use. As consumables, their final function will be to feed back into the Holy Grail, providing it with energy until the gate to the Root is opened.

"...So that's how it is. These three starter families are really audacious." Not all Heroic Spirits are so stupid. Once this is discovered, the disintegration of the Holy Grail War would be the least of their worries.

"Fortune favors the bold," Ruoxue shrugged, not really caring.

Although only seven batteries are needed, it doesn't really matter. The ultimate goal of the Holy Grail is to open the gate to the Root. There is no such thing as a wish-granting machine that can grant all wishes, and Servants are indeed not qualified to make wishes, since it was locked from the beginning.

"Don't count on the Holy Grail; it sounds unreliable."

"I'm more interested in you, Master, than the Holy Grail, and even more interested in whether I can get some magical materials like Mithril and Adamantite from those newbies who are just there to make up the numbers!"

"So, it's time for us to eat!"

"..." Scáthach choked on her own words, unable to comprehend her Master's logic.

It's like someone discovering that the person they've been spying on is actually their mother—the ups and downs are too abrupt.

"Why aren't you eating, Master? Is it not to your liking?"

"Master, I think it's because Miss Scáthach doesn't know how to use chopsticks."

“Who said that…” Scáthach glanced at the knife and fork placed near her seat, “I really don’t know how!”

Ruoxue's eyes lit up!

"Master, shall I teach you?"

Aika pouted and quickly grabbed Ruo Xue's clothes, shouting, "Oh no, Master! Something's happened! Chuunibyou Flash is gone!!"

"?"

Chapter 46 Ruoxue: I have no feelings

Where did the chuunibyou flash go?

Is there a problem with this?

Ruoxue didn't understand what Aika was talking about for a moment. It was just a silly, dramatic flash, nothing serious. With her master around, it wasn't a big deal. Was it really necessary to care so much?

Ok…

"So, the cauldron of this world summoned the Wise King Shan?" Ruoxue realized the problem.

The artifact for this world's pot is the snake fossil, so it's almost impossible to summon anything outside the realm of Gilgamesh. If you lose the chuunibyou Gilgamesh and summon a wise king instead, that would indeed be a big problem.

However, this possibility is rather small.

After all, they were the first to summon a Servant in the Holy Grail system, and although Scathach is actually a Lancer, she is used as a Caster according to the rules and occupies the Caster position in the Holy Grail system.

Unless the Wise King Shan can emerge in another class, the Archer class...

"Oh ho! Old Flash?"

Ai Ge nodded with a pained expression on her face.

Wow, this is really giving me a headache, even more so than the Wise King's Flash!

"Hiss, this is clearly just a normal Fourth Shinobi World War, why is there such explosive news at the very beginning? The old version of Flashy Flash has appeared. Now you can tell me that Saber is the old Saber in drag and I'll believe you!"

“Master, I feel that from the very beginning it didn’t fit the description of an ordinary Fourth Holy Grail War.” Scáthach pointed at Ayaka, then at herself.

"..." That's true.

This is a bear loli who was born connected to the Root. She is a Servant in terms of the rules, but she is actually Scáthach, the original Scáthach who was pulled out of the Land of Shadows.

There was no fairness from the very beginning. Even if an old Gilgamesh was introduced, he was still just a Servant, not a Heroic Spirit.

"What? There's no problem at all. I thought I was going to have to go through a nightmare-level fourth battle." Ruo Xue wasn't afraid of this, but she felt it was troublesome.

After all, if a Holy Grail War could be won outright, who would want to fight a Holy Grail War that is evenly matched and has a Master like Kiritsugu?

"Old Flash was such a sunny young man. It's a pity that the Three Kings' party, which is the most beloved and classic scene in the Fourth War, was missing from the beginning of the story."

"I don't think so, Master." Aigo shook her little head, her somewhat listless eyes revealing that the bear loli was spying on something.

"Found it. Apart from Ryunosuke Uryu being replaced by Master, the other candidates haven't changed much. Speaking of which, Master, isn't it a tradition of Type-Moon to kill the insects and save Sakura Matou in the Fourth Shinobi World War? Why haven't I seen you consider this matter yet?"

"You think raising one bear loli isn't troublesome enough? You want me to raise another loli?"

"That's for the best, but I think it's because you're afraid of that old bug, Master. Beg me! If you beg me, and I grant you one request, I can help you get rid of that old bug!"

"It's tempting, yes," Ruoxue said coolly, pushing up her glasses. "But I refuse!"

Putting aside the fact that she's genuinely not interested in the trope of killing insects to save Sakura, which she's tired of reading in fanfiction, if she really wanted to save her, she'd rather rely on herself than ask others. Agreeing to a bear loli's ambiguous request is something only a single-minded Emiya Shirou would consider!

And she, a time traveler, a time traveler with a cheat code!

"Master, how about we go kill some bugs?" Of course, it's better to rely on yourself than others. Servants are also the power of their Masters. If you're not happy, don't play around.

“Master, I’m not your master.” Scáthach, who had been quietly eating and not wanting to participate in the discussion, was also caught in the crossfire and reflexively replied. Then she realized what she had said and typed a question mark: “Master, why don’t you decide this yourself? Right now, I’m just a blade for you.” “A blade won’t do. Let’s change it to a gun.”

"?" Scáthach was puzzled. She knew about firearms; before she was dragged over, she had been given relevant information about them.

But what's the difference? Aren't they both weapons?

"Ah, Master, it's illegal to bully the mentally challenged!"

"But Master isn't mentally challenged, so the argument about bullying mentally challenged people doesn't hold true, little bear."

"Master, I am not your master."
