It only adds to the trouble.

Later, as Yukino passed by a trash can, she casually tossed Haruki into it.

"Goodbye."

There was not a trace of lingering attachment.

The Spring Knot, which held all her childhood memories, simply vanished.

Yukino then left without looking back.

……

After school.

Yukino's situation did not affect Kazama Chiba's decision to skip class.

He used the pretext of a club's paranormal activities to leave school, but actually sneaked back home.

The reason he went home was that a batch of figurines he had ordered online in the past few days had finally arrived, and he couldn't wait to start a new round of power system testing.

After all, before he obtained the Horse Talisman and the Dog Talisman, he desperately needed a powerful means of survival.

Therefore, Kazama Chiba's first choice is the Knight King from the Fate series - Artoria Pendragon.

Of course, it wasn't her body that he coveted, but rather her innate treasure, "Avalon (the distant ideal world)."

In the original story, this was a valuable item; it could save lives and provide a stable recovery.

It's practically a carbon copy of Dog and Ma.

After opening the box, Kazama Chiba didn't impulsively slap the talisman on.

Safety first.

As a time traveler with the word "survival" etched into his DNA, he was well aware of the immense uncertainty surrounding this magic that imbued inanimate objects with life.

Although the other party was King Arthur, who adhered to the code of chivalry, this did not mean that Chiyu would have to be completely honest with her.

Always be on guard against others

Before activating her, Qianyu took some precautions.

The entire floor and walls of the room were covered with screens.

If anything goes wrong, these shadows will immediately transform into chains for control.

He then waved again.

He used a mirror image to create a replica of Kazama Chihiro standing in front of the table.

As for his true self, he had long since hidden in a corner next to the wardrobe, and used the "Illusion" card to create a perfect environmental disguise for himself.

If you don't touch it carefully, you won't even notice that there's a person standing there.

After doing all this, Qianyu finally felt a little safer. Then, she controlled Jing to activate the Saber figure using the Rat Talisman.

next second.

A visible surge of magical energy exploded outwards from the figure in an instant.

Within the light, a powerful aura instantly filled the entire room, even suppressing the writhing shadows that were moving on the ground.

Then a clear and authoritative voice came from the light.

"I ask you."

"Are you my Master?"

Chapter 44 Success is achievable with effort

Artoria Pendragon, the legendary queen of Great Britain, looked up and stared directly at the boy in school uniform before her.

The stand-in formed from the mirror tablet remained completely unmoved by the king's aura.

After all, it's just a mirror without a soul.

Hiding behind the sofa, Kazama Chiba gave the order in her mind.

"Respond to her"

The stand-in standing in the center of the living room slowly spoke.

"Yes, it was I who summoned you, Saber. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am your Master, Kazama Chiba."

"Although I didn't draw any magic circles or recite any difficult incantations, it was indeed I who brought you into this world."

Artoria Pendragon narrowed her emerald green eyes slightly, a hint of doubt in her expression.

"Master?"

"Since you summoned me, then where is your Command Seal?"

Hiding behind the illusion barrier, Kazama Chiba couldn't help but click her tongue.

Sure enough, this famous ahoge (cowlick) is not the kind of naive girl who can be tricked into going home with just a little food.

The kind of plot where summoned creatures mindlessly shout "Master" and offer their loyalty probably only exists in fan fiction.

"Cough cough."

He manipulated the clone created by the mirror, cleared his throat, and struck a mysterious pose.

“That’s not important, Saber. The world doesn’t need that brutal Holy Grail War now. In times of peace, people prefer to solve problems in a more civilized way.”

The stand-in pointed to his chest and began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"So, I summoned you not to have you fight. I'm just an ordinary high school student who's a little insecure. There's only one thing I need."

He pointed to Saber's empty scabbard.

Although there is nothing there now, Avalon, as a conceptual weapon, has always existed within Saber's body.

"Avalon. That ideal land that can shield me from all harm. I'll be content as long as you lend me it for self-defense. As for you, you can enjoy delicious food in this peaceful world, or experience modern life. I'll take care of everything."

They just give you equipment without doing any work, and you still get a free meal ticket?

If it were a spirit without any morals, she might have agreed, but unfortunately, standing in front of Kazama Chiba was King Arthur, who valued honor more than life itself.

Artoria's brow furrowed even more deeply.

She could sense that the boy before her had no trace of magic circuits, not even a Command Seal.

How did such a person summon himself?

Artoria said seriously:

"Although I came into this world through a summons, it does not mean that I will blindly follow others. Avalon is an ideal place far removed from the mortal world, the embodiment of protection, and certainly not a tool for mere survival."

"Furthermore, I did not sense any magical energy supply from you. Although I do not know how you obtained this power that allows me to manifest in this form, as a knight, I cannot entrust such a sacred artifact to someone without a 'heart'."

As expected of a woman with A-grade intuition.

Chiyu didn't panic when he was exposed to her face. He wanted to see what Artoria would say next.

Then Artoria suddenly became serious.

"I can see that your words are filled with a thirst for power, but also with an avoidance of effort. You want to take shortcuts and rely on external things to gain a sense of security."

"Since you have summoned me, as a knight, even if your Master is not orthodox, I should do my best to guide you onto the right path. Although you are not qualified to wield Avalon now, as long as you are willing to work hard and hone your mind and martial arts through training, perhaps one day you will gain its recognition."

“Starting tomorrow, I will personally instruct you in swordsmanship. You will practice ten thousand sword strokes every day, rain or shine. As long as you…”

"stop."

Kazama Chiba interrupted her passionate speech.

How did our conversation veer off-topic?

And swing the sword ten thousand times

If he could endure this kind of hardship, he would have been rich in his past life.

Then the real body dispelled the illusion from the corner and walked out expressionlessly.

Saber paused for a moment, looking at the suddenly appearing "second Master," then at the Stand that slowly turned into a mirror and disappeared. A look of astonishment flashed in her eyes, followed by anger at being mocked.

Qianyu didn't give her a chance to lash out and said directly:

"I think you've misunderstood. My greatest strength is that I know my own limitations, and my greatest weakness is that I'm lazy. Ask me to practice swordsmanship? You might as well kill me."

He didn't even give Artoria a chance to refute.

"Since we are so incompatible, then we shall meet again."

The next second, Qianyu's fingers touched her breastplate.

With a gentle tap, the rat talisman retracted.

The knight king, who was solemnly saying "Only sweat can forge glory" just a second ago, instantly turned back into a figurine.

Chiyu stuffed the figure back into the huge box, her movements as practiced as if nothing had happened.

As expected, it's not easy to get overpowered in a shonen manga.

This failed attempt made Chiba realize a harsh reality.

Although this world incorporates various anime and manga settings, some underlying logics are difficult to break.

Like Naruto, who needs chakra and bloodline; One Piece, who needs Devil Fruit or Haki; Bleach, who needs spiritual pressure; and Fate, who needs magic circuits.

As for him, Kazama Chiba, apart from the few Clow Cards in his hand and the rat talisman, he was essentially just an ordinary carbon-based life form.

There were neither twenty-seven magic circuits, nor chakra pathways, nor even a Zanpakuto.

Even if those big shots were resurrected, even if someone wanted to teach them, they still wouldn't be able to learn.

"I wish Doraemon existed in this world."

Qianyu slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Just ask that blue fat guy for a 'what if' phone booth or a dictator button, and you won't have to deal with all this trouble."

Unfortunately, there is no Doraemon animation in this world at all.

After much thought, the most suitable divine equipment for an ordinary person like him—one that doesn't require cultivation, doesn't depend on looks, and can be used immediately—is still the Jackie Chan Adventures set.
