The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

The higher the level of magic, the more magic power is required.

Conversely, there is a similar conclusion - if you put enough magic power into a magic trick, the effect of the magic trick will likely be more powerful.

Like a little magic turning into Mars;

A jar of magic power might be enough to start a fire.

certainly--

As a sub-servant, Mashu has no way of achieving "magic power production" on her own.

After all, the servant itself is not a source of magic power, only the master can give such blessing.

This is also why Scathach needs Ian's help - the quality and quantity of his magic are excellent, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a mobile "human Holy Grail".

However, in addition to the relationship between magic power supply, the activity of the servant itself can also in turn affect the degree of magic power absorption.

Simply put…

It's about whether you get enough excitement in the process.

Ian understood this, and Scathach certainly understood this too.

"Ian... we need to let Mashu absorb more magic power."

"Ok, I know."

Ever since——

Amid the pink-haired girl's breathing, Scathach and Ian hugged her one after another.

The three of them formed an extremely warm embrace.

And for Mashu, who was caught in the middle, this scene had a further meaning.

She became a "spectator" again - because Scathach and Ian kissed in front of her!

The picture is probably something like the following.

Scathach丨Mashu丨Ian

of course.

Although it looked very much like a white school scene, none of the three people were hurt in this kiss.

Scathach is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so she is naturally adept at doing this kind of thing and actually enjoys it;

Not to mention Ian. As the king of the Shadow Kingdom, he is the one who knows best how good at flirting his wife is.

As for Matthew...

She had never thought that she would have the opportunity to sneak in, so she was extremely happy.

Besides...

She is now occupying Ian's magic source even more excessively than Scathach.

but--

Although it was a very happy scene for the three of them, Scathach did not forget what she had to do.

Be it a follower or a sub-follower.

At times like these, it is the best situation to activate the magic power in the body.

Taking this opportunity, Scathach came to further conclusions.

"Hmm... Although this is a magic left behind by someone called 'Merry', the person who passed it on to you was a man called Gaharad."

"There seems to be a very deep relationship between them."

"Oh... are they family members? That's really interesting. If the mother can't hand over something, she asks her son to do it?"

"..."

Although a lot of the information had already been inferred or even personally experienced, Ian still felt incredible at Scathach's description of her movements and mentality, which was so accurate.

Her words were so direct and clear, and her tone was so calm, as if she were there herself.

"Scathach, how did you do this?" Ian couldn't help but ask.

"..."

Scathach temporarily stopped "examination" of Mashu and then answered Ian's question.

"Ian, do you understand that everything in the world will eventually disappear in this world?"

"And the end point of that is the Kingdom of Shadows—the dissipated things will eventually return to their original form in another world and experience death once again."

"It's just that this process is too long, and ordinary people will never have the opportunity to witness it."

"But my husband, you should understand that I am different from those people... That's why there is this kind of rune magic."

"..."

Although Scathach did not directly point out the fact that she was not a "Servant" because of Mash's presence, it was enough for Ian to understand what she wanted to express.

Things will eventually disappear one day, she just witnessed it all before they really "disappeared".

This is the loneliness of the undead, and also the pain that the queen tastes alone.

"Scathach..."

Ian took her hand.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."

"..."

"What a gentle fool." Scathach gently let go of Ian's hand, and then smiled slightly, "But it is precisely because of this that I feel it is worthwhile to come to you."

"You are the first person who made me feel that living such a long life is not a bad thing."

"so--"

"so?"

"So make some room!" Scathach glared at Ian. "I have to check inside and get the final answer."

"Uh...is this something I can say?"

"Why not?"

"……All right."

“Eh…?”

Anyway-

Under the inspection of the "Human Holy Grail" Ian and the magic of God Rune, Mashu was examined from inside to outside by Scathach.

"How about it?"

"This time, there should be results!"

Ian asked, looking even more nervous than Mash.

This is not difficult to understand - he has been watching Mashu frown for quite some time, and now he finally has a chance to understand everything, so naturally he is particularly concerned.

only……

Scathach's attitude seemed a little hesitant, which made Mashu and Ian nervous.

"Miss Scathach, has something happened?"

Mashu, who was still trapped between the two people, asked quietly.

"It's okay—just tell me directly. Even if I can't track down the name, I'll be fine with that."

"How is it possible that I can't track it down?" Scathach raised her long hair. "For me, this level of things is not a problem at all."

"That--!"

Mashu, with her back to Scathach, sounded much happier.

"Miss Scathach, do you have an answer?"

"Yes." The Queen of Shadow Country nodded. "I'll tell you now—the name of this Noble Phantasm is Lord Camelot, the Distant Ideal City."

"It seems to have something to do with my era."

"Eh!"

Unlike Mashu who was happy to know the true name of the Noble Phantasm, Ian noticed that Scathach's expression did not seem so calm.

"Scathach—"

"Isn't it enough to know the true name of this Noble Phantasm?"

"..."

"It's impossible to hide it from you." Scathach sighed, then nodded, "I can confirm that the name of this Noble Phantasm is Lord Camelot."

“It has a very deep connection with Britain.”

"But... for some reason, it seems that such a true name cannot make this Noble Phantasm respond with its most powerful posture."

"Why is this happening?" Ian was puzzled. "Can't even his true name unleash his full power?"

"Yes."

Scathach nodded.

"It seems that because a lot of people set restrictions at the same time, it couldn't be done."

"This……"

Ian felt that the distant ideal city (Lord Camelot) was not as simple as he had imagined.

Simply obtaining the True Name is not enough to activate the true power of this Noble Phantasm!

"Then Scathach, do you have any ideas?"

"I have no other options. Breaking through the 'surface' and obtaining the inner name is already a difficult task."

"but……"

Scathach looked at Mash.

"Ian, Mashu isn't your Servant, right?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "I wasn't with her at that time. It was Ritsuka who saved her."

"That--"

Scathach looked at Ian and gave the final answer.

"Maybe we can do something more with Fujimaru Ritsuka..."

"For example -"

"Let her be as excited as Mashu for a while."

769. Mashu and Scathach's Contract/Special Attribute Explosion! (4k)

This time, even if Scathach didn't explain the situation, Ian fully understood what it meant.

Yes.

After all, Ian is still not Mashu's direct source of magic power.

This means that focusing solely on men will not actually achieve good enough results.

In contrast——

If this had been done to Ritsuka Fujimaru, the result might have been different.

This is the person who signed a contract with Mashu and is her true master in name only, so he should be able to get the corresponding effect.

Scathach, I'm not kidding!

"Hey, looking for Ritsuka?"

Mashu also understood.

She knew that the current situation was actually a bit neither good nor bad - the name of the Noble Phantasm was clear, but it was subject to many shackles and restrictions.
