Crossover Anime: Saiyans Starting from Dreams

The downside is that a tall tree catches the wind, making it easy for enemies to discover and target it—in the original work, Kenneth rented the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel with great fanfare, which led to him being targeted by Kiritsugu Emiya.

Although Kenneth was killed by Qin Chuan before he could be bombarded by Kiritsugu Emiya in this world.

"If an enemy really comes, you shouldn't worry too much; escaping won't be a problem."

Qin Chuan smiled and looked at Reines—she was still wearing the maid outfit substitute Qin Chuan had given her, and seemed to have no intention of putting it away.

"So cautious? Even in your own base, you still have to wear a maid outfit."

"...After all, this maid outfit can provide me with a fairly good boost to my strength."

Reines blushed. After all, the maid outfit was quite effective, even amplifying her magical power, which was extremely rare.

Reines was initially worried that wearing the maid outfit in public might be embarrassing, but after testing it during the day, she discovered that no one else could see the maid outfit.

Although Reines herself can see it, even through a mirror, she cannot see her maid outfit from other people's perspectives or in photos.

This allowed Reines to wear the maid outfit without worry. After all, Qin Chuan had given her this "treasure" so that she could use it as she pleased.

Moreover, wearing this maid outfit gave Reines a feeling of being protected by Qin Chuan—a sense of security that was hard to come by before, and Reines somewhat liked this feeling.

"So what are you doing?"

Seeing Reines's flushed face, Qin Chuan smiled and didn't continue talking about it. Instead, he turned to look at the magic prop that Reines was fiddling with.

It was something like a small lampstand, with an amethyst necklace hanging on it—Qin Chuan remembered that Reines seemed to have used this crystal necklace in the original work.

Qin Chuan knew nothing about magic, so naturally he couldn't understand the purpose of the props that Reines was using.

"This is a tool used to detect magical power. I plan to use it to find out which contestants will summon heroic spirits tonight."

Of course, Reines wouldn't hide it from Qin Chuan, she explained.

"Although I summoned Mr. Qin Chuan in advance, in fact, according to the pattern, tonight to early morning is the best time to summon him."

A magician's state fluctuates over time. At certain times, a magician's mental energy and magic circuits are fully activated, allowing them to unleash their full power.

Although in theory a magician's condition should not affect the summoned Heroic Spirit, many magicians are superstitious about this and will choose to summon when they are in their most perfect condition.

Rin Tohsaka in the original work is an example of this; she even missed her best performance because she didn't realize that the clock had been set.

The crystal pendant used by Reines did indeed serve a detection function in the original work, and its use in detecting the magic power when summoning Heroic Spirits is a good example of making the most of it.

"As long as someone summons a heroic spirit during this period, this crystal pendant will guide us to the location of the summoner, making it easier for us to investigate."

Reines set up the magic device, nodded in satisfaction, and turned to the "Moon Spirit Essence" maid, Trimmau, who had been standing beside her.

"Trimmau, you stay here and watch. Once the crystal pendant reacts, record it immediately."

Although magical devices have been set up to detect the location of the summoned Heroic Spirit, Reines cannot possibly stay here indefinitely.

It was very cold at night, and as a magician, Reines' physical condition was only so-so. Even with Qin Chuan's maid outfit as a bonus, she didn't want to be exposed to the cold wind on the roof.

Trimmau, being an artificial maid created from the Moon Spirit Essence, wouldn't have these feelings, so Reines could safely let her help observe from the rooftop.

"I understand, Master."

Trimmau nodded. Although he possessed basic artificial intelligence, Trimmau was, after all, just a familiar made of moon spirit fluid, so his personality naturally wouldn't fluctuate much.

"However, the crystal pendant is already reacting."

"Ok?"

Reines was stunned upon hearing this and quickly turned to look at the magical device she had just set up.

Then she was surprised to find that, just as Trimmau had said, the crystal pendant had begun to react—it slowly rose and swayed gently toward the north.

"Someone has already summoned a Heroic Spirit at level 280 so quickly?"

Reines was stunned. Although tonight until the early hours of the morning was indeed a good time to summon, wasn't it a bit too early now?

Could it be that someone messed up the summoning time?

……

Reines was right; someone had indeed messed up the summoning time.

It was Rin Tohsaka who messed up the summoning time—in the original work, she missed the optimal moment because the clock was set wrong, and this time she made the same mistake again.

"Very good, that makes everything ready."

Rin Tohsaka looked at the summoning circle radiating light on the basement floor and excitedly reached out her hand.

She didn't notice that the clock in the basement showed a different time than the other clocks in the house, and immediately began summoning the Heroic Spirits without stopping.

"Although I can't summon Qin Chuan... it doesn't matter. As long as I summon a strong enough Heroic Spirit to force that El-Melloi guy to give up the Holy Grail, that will be enough!"

As Qin Chuan had suspected, Rin Tohsaka's plan was to defeat Reines, her Master, to force her to abandon the Holy Grail War.

If Reines's wish was to keep Qin Chuan, then Rin Tohsaka would probably have given up—but Reines's wish is to revitalize the El-Melloi family, which forces her to compete for it.

Chapter 490 Like being caught in the act

"Your body is under my command, and my fate rests on your sword."

"If you wish to follow the call of the Holy Grail, obey this will and follow this principle, then you should respond."

"I hereby swear that I will accomplish all good deeds in this world, and I will spread all evil in this world."

"You are the guardian of Libra, bound by the three great incantations for seven days, originating from the Wheel of Restraint!"

Just like Reines's summoning incantation, Rin Tohsaka also recited the incantation to summon a Heroic Spirit in front of the magic circle.

The basement was filled with magic, and the summoning circle burst forth with a bright, intense light—the effect of the summoning circle being successfully activated.

Rin Tohsaka felt her magical energy circuits being squeezed by the Holy Grail System, which was extremely uncomfortable, but she still endured it and poured all her magical energy into it.

Even though the vast majority of the magical energy for summoning is provided by the Holy Grail, the Master still needs to contribute some magical energy as a catalyst.

Finally, as the pain in the magic circuits gradually subsided, the light of the summoning circle also faded, revealing a figure clad in heavy armor. (Dove)

This time, unlike in the original work, there was no bizarre mistake where the summoned Heroic Spirit appeared directly on the second floor.

The figure clad in heavy armor stepped forward, looked at Rin Tohsaka, who was panting in front of him, and then reached out to remove his helmet.

After the helmet with its enormous horns was removed, what was revealed was the face of a girl with a somewhat wicked smile.

She looked at the somewhat dazed Rin Tohsaka and said in a carefree voice: g

"Servant Saber, I answer the summons—what? You're my Master?"

The appearance of her Servant was clearly somewhat unexpected for Rin Tohsaka—when she saw a figure in heavy armor emerge from the summoning circle, she assumed it was a male Heroic Spirit.

To my surprise, after removing the armor, she revealed a somewhat spirited young woman with a slightly rebellious personality and a casual tone.

If it weren't for the armor reminding Rin Tohsaka of the other person's Servant status, she probably would have thought they were a troubled girl who had run away from school. (Seven)

However… more than the question of the other person's gender, Rin Tohsaka quickly realized the nature of their self-designation.

"You said you are...Saber~" ⑶

Rin Tohsaka looked at the heavily armored girl in front of her, a hint of joy on her face—in the Holy Grail War, Saber's stats have always been among the highest.

There may be other classes with higher stats than some Sabers, but on average, Saber is definitely the best choice.

In the original work, Rin Tohsaka wanted to use her ability to summon Saber, but unfortunately she failed. This time, however, Rin Tohsaka finally succeeded in summoning Saber.

"Ahem... Don't get too excited."

However, Rin Tohsaka quickly calmed herself down.

In a normal Holy Grail War, Rin Tohsaka would be very satisfied to draw a good card like Saber... but in this Holy Grail War, there is an exception.

Rin Tohsaka knew Qin Chuan's strength all too well. She was Qin Chuan's Master in the previous Holy Grail War and had witnessed Qin Chuan crushing everyone else.

She looked at her follower, deciding to first ascertain the other's identity and abilities before formulating a plan:

"So, Saber, what is your real name?"

"My name is Mordred."

The heavily armored female Saber grinned and spoke to Rin Tohsaka.

"Leave the fighting to me!"

……

"It seems the summoner is Rin Tohsaka."

After comparing the map of Fuyuki City with the map, Reines quickly came to her conclusion.

Judging from the direction indicated by the crystal, the most suspicious family over there is the Tohsaka family—meaning that Rin Tohsaka summoned the Heroic Spirit before she was in her best condition.

Reines was unaware of the Tohsaka family's tradition of dropping the ball. She looked at Qin Chuan with some confusion, seemingly hoping to get an answer from Qin Chuan, the previous Servant of Tohsaka Rin:

"Why did she summon it ahead of schedule? Did she find some powerful artifact?"

What is the usual purpose of summoning a Heroic Spirit before the Heroic Spirit is in its optimal state?

For example, someone like Reines, who obtained the "relic" that could summon Qin Chuan, preemptively took Qin Chuan for herself to prevent him from being summoned by someone else.

In this way, it will be impossible for others to summon a second Qin Chuan.

For example, the Einzbern family summoned the Heroic Spirit two months in advance so that Illya could get used to the Heroic Spirit's combat rhythm.

Of course, this wasn't the first time the Einzberns had resorted to trickery and deceit; they had done the same in the Third and Fourth Holy Grail Wars, but this time they finally met their match.

"I think it's just a simple case of misreading the time."

Qin Chuan shrugged. He hadn't expected that even with such a huge change in the plot, Rin Tohsaka's mistake of misreading the time would still happen as scheduled.

It's just that even if things went wrong, Rin Tohsaka probably didn't summon Emiya's Servant this time... I wonder what kind of Servant she summoned.

"...The heir to the Tohsaka family wouldn't make such a basic mistake, would he?"

Hearing Qin Chuan's explanation, Reines asked somewhat uncertainly.

Although she wanted to blindly believe Qin Chuan's words, the idea that the heir of the Tohsaka family was not very bright still sounded a bit too far-fetched.

Thanks to the help of the Mage's Association and the performance of Matou Sakura, a "former descendant of the Tohsaka family," Reines had a pretty good impression of Tohsaka Rin, thinking that she should also be a qualified magician.

However, seeing that Qin Chuan didn't seem to be lying, Reines was somewhat speechless:

"Then it seems that Rin Tohsaka isn't so scary after all..."

Reines was initially worried about what kind of ambush she would encounter after being targeted by Rin Tohsaka... but now she felt much more relaxed.

However, before she and Qin Chuan could discuss whether to investigate who the Heroic Spirit summoned by Tohsaka Rin (who had paid for it) was, Trimmau, who had been waiting on the side, suddenly spoke up:

"Although it's not good to interrupt your conversation with Mr. Qin Chuan... but Master, we have a guest."

"Guest? Who is it?"

Reines was taken aback. For Trimmau to specifically remind her, it meant that the person who came was no ordinary person.

"It's Ms. Matou Sakura."

Trimmau's next words caused Reines's expression to change drastically.

She knew very well that Matou Sakura's purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was to summon Qin Chuan—but now Qin Chuan had already been summoned by her ahead of schedule.

Could it be that they've come to demand an explanation?

Reines panicked for a moment, and she quickly said to Qin Chuan:

"Mr. Qin Chuan, please hide for now, and make sure Sakura doesn't find you!"

Hearing Reines's words, Qin Chuan was both amused and exasperated—it sounded as if Reines had been caught cheating on him.

Chapter 491 Sakura Matou, who can see the substitute

Qin Chuan had a "friendly exchange" with Rufreus, one of the monarchs of the Clock Tower, at the Magic Association ten years ago.

Therefore, Matou Sakura had a pretty good time during her time at the Mage's Association. Even those magicians from powerful families didn't dare to underestimate her.

Because of Rufreus's special care, a bizarre rumor even circulated inside the Clock Tower that "Matou Sakura might be Rufreus's illegitimate granddaughter."

Of course, very few people eventually learned the truth about why Rufreus took such good care of Matou Sakura and the Tohsaka family.

Reines knew about this entirely because when Qin Chuan went to "talk" to Rufreus, it was Waver who led the way, so Waver naturally knew the truth.

However, Reines's ultimate use of this incident to summon Qin Chuan using Rufreus's magic as a "relic" was, in a sense, quite dishonest.

Because Reines had a good relationship with Matou Sakura in the Mage's Association, she summoned Qin Chuan despite knowing Matou Sakura's target.
