Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

……

In the underground cavern of Ryudou-ji Temple on Mount Enzo, near Fuyuki City.

A figure appeared, looking at the Holy Grail spell in front of him and the black mud inside.

"Interesting. A Servant has already been eliminated, and of very good quality at that. This is truly a stroke of luck."

The mysterious figure let out a joyful laugh.

"It seems this is destined to be a grand feast, hehehehe~!"

Then he waved his hand and instantly reversed the Holy Grail spell, pulling a soul into it.

The black mud seemed to sense something and immediately began to churn.

"Don't worry, you'll get what you're entitled to, but this won't do."

Upon seeing this, the mysterious figure smiled and pulled a large golden cup from his pocket.

It's the Holy Grail!

The mysterious figure cast it into the spell, laughing, "Go, wreak havoc to your heart's content! Hahaha~"

Chapter 37 You think you can just give it back after you've got it? How dare you!

After two battles, the first night of the Holy Grail War finally calmed down.

The Matou family was suddenly attacked, and even if they were angry, they had to deal with the mess afterward first.

Kenneth and Einzbern, on the other hand, were somewhat bewildered by the fierce battle of the first night. They temporarily quieted down, processed the latest intelligence, and considered the current situation.

As for the rest...

The remaining three Masters are all from the same faction and were the ones who initiated the two battles tonight. Now that their goal has been achieved, they have naturally become more obedient.

……

When Marne and Nero returned to the Tohsaka residence, they found Tokiomi Tohsaka and Gilgamesh waiting in the hall.

“Welcome back. How is it?” Saka Tokiomi asked eagerly.

"Of course I took care of it; Rider has already left the scene," En replied truthfully.

"Well done, a wonderful performance." Shan Shan rarely praised Ma En.

Upon hearing this, Ma En raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting that his mother, Shan Shan, was actually watching.

However, she didn't descend as a Caster, so how come she has 'clairvoyance'?

But he didn't pay much attention, and sat down with Nero, asking Tokiomi Tohsaka, "How are things on the Matou family's side?"

"It went very smoothly; this is the footage from that time."

Tokiomi Tohsaka smiled and tapped the magic props on the table in front of him a few times, and a light screen was projected out.

"The Knight of the Yangtze River."

Looking at the blurry figure shrouded in black mist in the image, Ma En still managed to determine the identity of this Servant from some details.

For example, the ability to grab anything and use it as a weapon.

"This is Lancelot. The red markings covering the item are the effect of his Noble Phantasm, 'A Knight Does Not Die Unarmed'."

"No matter what he picks up at random, as long as he thinks it can be used as a weapon, he will amplify it to the strength of a D-rank Noble Phantasm, and he can even take control of the enemy's weapon (preventing the enemy from recovering the weapon through spiritualization)."

As he spoke, Ma En looked at his mother, Shan Shan.

Regardless of the version of Gilgamesh, as long as he is an A-rank Gilgamesh, Lancelot's Noble Phantasm ability, combined with his skill "Infinite Training," can almost completely counter any A-rank Gilgamesh.

In their first encounter in the original work, Gilgamesh suffered a hidden loss, and he became even more cautious afterward, no longer daring to use his Noble Phantasm carelessly when fighting Lancelot.

After all, once the items fall into Lancelot's hands, they can't be taken back.

After hearing the introduction, Niang Shanshan saw Ma En looking at her and immediately understood what he was thinking, her face darkening.

So she reached out her slender hand to Marne: "Where are my things?"

""

Maren instantly regretted it; he shouldn't have provoked this petty woman.

So Ma En quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Well, can I borrow it to study it some more? I'll return it to you in a couple of days, okay?"

Mother Shanshan raised an eyebrow: "What do you think?"

However, she underestimated Marne's shamelessness.

"I think it's great, absolutely great."

Hmph, you think you can just spit out what you've given me so easily?

Let's delay it for now, preferably until the Holy Grail War ends, then we won't have to pay it back.

Mother frowned, and her gaze toward Ma En gradually became dangerous, revealing a hint of ferocity.

However, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "Alright then, you may keep it safe for me a little longer."

Hmph, you want to steal my things, huh? You'll regret it!

Upon seeing this, Marx and Engels suddenly felt a little flustered.

Niang Shanshan's behavior is too abnormal; there must be some conspiracy behind it that he doesn't know about.

However, Niang Shanshan remained silent, adopting a "wait and see" attitude, leaving Ma En with no options.

Are we supposed to back down and return the items?

How incredibly generous!

At this moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka also found an opportunity to continue the previous topic.

"This ability is quite troublesome; we'll have to trouble Your Majesty Nero and your entourage."

He had also witnessed her methods when she was first born, so he had the same idea as Ma En.

Lancelot's fighting compatibility with Gilgamesh's is so strong that it seems he's destined to be her counter.

However, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not say it explicitly, but only gestured to Maru and Nero.

"Hmm." En nodded, while Nero remained silent.

After all, it was a pre-arranged plan, so what objections could there be now?

The brief post-battle debriefing ended there, and the four of them dispersed again to go back and rest.

However, Nero once again followed Marne into his room.

Ma En turned to look at her, and saw her say shyly, "Player, I just released my Noble Phantasm."

Miss Nero began to give hints.

"And then?" En had a general idea of ​​what she was thinking, but pretended not to understand.

Miss Nero rolled her eyes at the master who was pretending to be stupid, and said in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Well, that, mana replenishment, umm."

"Magic replenishment, huh?" En said with a look of sudden realization.

Then, noticing Nero's slightly dangerous behavior, he stopped teasing her and said with a look of deep agreement, "Indeed, you've also used up a lot of magic, and there's a big battle to fight next, so you need to replenish it."

Upon hearing this, Nero was overjoyed, but at that moment, Marne's next words froze her expression.

"But Nero, have you forgotten that I also used my Noble Phantasm once?"

"Ah this..."

Nero then realized that this was indeed the case.

Ma En said with a look of disappointment, "So, I'm sorry, my magic hasn't recovered yet."

Hmph, if you're lusting after me, just say so! Why make up excuses? You're just giving me a chance to refuse!

Can you please be a little more efficient?

With an attack of this magnitude, when will you be able to break through my defenses?

She's getting anxious! She's getting anxious!

Nero, wearing a mask of pain, stammered, "Is that so? No! Right? What was it again? That's right!"

Seemingly finally remembering something, Miss Nero said with a smug look, "Player, this magic replenishment does not require consuming your magic power."

"Ah this..."

This time, Maren was speechless, and he carefully recalled the magic replenishment setting.

like……

It really is!

Chapter 38 Interlude & Sora in Action

In the end, Marne gave in and let Miss Nero go back to her room satisfied.

This is a huge victory for Miss Nero!

Don't get the wrong idea, it's just normal magic replenishment, the kind of charging that doesn't require a plug.

As for what kind of operation is mana replenishment?

There are too many details involved to go into here. Those who understand will understand, and those who don't should not ask. Please search for relevant information on your own.

Even Marne herself hadn't expected Nero to suddenly become so strong, to the point that she had discovered a key strength in him.

Under the guise of replenishing magic power, Maren really couldn't find a reason to refuse, and his defenses crumbled on the spot.

That's really... I hope she can keep up the good work!

Ahem~!

People live for Tiamat!!!

Having strengthened his resolve, Maren calmed himself down, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

He was exhausted. He ran out to find Iskandar and ran halfway through Fuyuki City. Then he chased after them for half an hour, waited for more than an hour, and finally there was another big battle.
