One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"Just to correct myself, it's Matou Shinji."

As he spoke, the mechanical watch on Shinji's left wrist transformed into a build driver - this was a transformation module inspired by the God Key, making it easy to carry.

He placed the driver on his waist, and with a sound effect, the belt extended from both ends of the driver and was quickly buckled around his waist.

【Tank! Tank! 】

【Are you……】

However, before the sound effect finished playing, Cu Chulainn had already rushed over with the magic spear in hand without any regard for martial ethics. The scarlet magic spear seemed to come alive and bit Shinji's heart fiercely.

!!!

"Hey, hey, brother, is this so rude?"

Instantly donning jet-black armor, he raised his hand to block the demonic spear. A cold exterior, dark compound eyes, and a unique metallic texture… the Metal Build made its dazzling debut.

That's right, considering the possibility of transformation being interrupted, Bai Ye mentioned to Shinji during his research that an instant dressing system must be added! And now it really worked.

"Hahaha, this is the first lesson my senior is teaching you. You can't drag your feet in battle!"

Cu Chulainn turned his magic spear and thrust it at Shinji once more, his tone rising with his fighting spirit. "But it seems you've made preparations in this regard too~"

"of course."

Shinji also responded with his magic spear.

“Clang, clang—!”

The two magic spears collided at high speed without a pause, sparks flying everywhere, and almost leaving afterimages. The spears' force became increasingly fierce, launching a violent and violent series of attacks.

……

On the other side, Bai Ye also found Medea.

"Nice to meet you, Caster... no, Medea."

A figure passed by Medea, leaving a trail of faint blue shadows in its wake. Bai Ye stopped before the figure and extended his hand. "Will you sign a contract with me?"

Hearing this, Medea looked up in disbelief. It was unimaginable that someone would actually want to sign a contract with her! After all... she was known as the "Witch of Betrayal."

"...Are you serious?"

Under the dark purple hood, the lower half of Medea's face was exposed, and she forced a sad smile. "If you know my real name, you should have heard my story."

"In history, I'm known as the 'Witch of Betrayal'. Betrayal is what I excel at."

Different people are treated differently. In Medea's view, Bai Ye is obviously a magician, and after experiencing the previous events, she no longer believes in magicians, and there is a clear guiding principle in her words.

"Besides, I ended up in this situation because I betrayed my previous Master. Even so, are you still willing to sign a contract with me?"

There was a pause, and then...

"As expected, beautiful girls are very deceptive~"

Bai Ye sighed and gave Medea a gentle smile. "Although I don't have clairvoyance and can't see what happened, there are some things I happen to know~"

"As far as I know, in the story of the Argonauts, Medea fell madly in love either because of a curse or because of the arrow of Eros..."

At this point, Bai Ye glanced at Medea and found that her aura was a little unstable. "Forget it, let's not talk about that guy. Anyway, I probably know everything."

"In my opinion, you should be called the 'betrayed witch'. Your whole life has been influenced by the gods, and you met the wrong person..."

"Hey, why are you in a hurry again?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that."

There was no other way, Bai Ye could only change his words again and directly give the conclusion, "Just tell me your wish~ Do you want to return to your hometown, to the time when you were still happy, or perhaps..."

——"It's just the trust and partiality of the one I love~"

!!!

Medea trembled slightly. These words really touched her heart.

"Who would have thought?"

Bai Ye continued speaking, extending his hand toward Medea once more. "The witch who betrays is precisely the one who is least likely to betray. I've made it very clear. How about a contract?"

"..."

There was a long silence.

Medea slowly raised her head, revealing a sad smile, and finally held Bai Ye's hand. A line of tears slowly flowed down her face... It was raining.

246. She is absolutely trustworthy

It was raining heavily, and the raindrops as big as beans weaved a dense net, pouring down from the sky and hitting Shinji and Cu Chulainn.

Raindrops were dripping down the dark surface of the armor, and Cu Chulainn's neat short blue hair was also hanging down wetly, with clumps of hair sticking to his forehead.

——But this does not affect the battle between them!

"Not bad, Shinji."

Cu Chulainn gripped the magic spear in both hands, his muscles bulging slightly, and swung it fiercely towards Shinji.

"Qiang——!"

With his metal build armor, enhanced magic, and even the blessing of Rune, Shinji held up his magic spear and blocked the attack, directing the impact to the ground beneath his feet, shattering it. "You're not bad either, Brother~"

"Each each other."

He spoke politely, but his action was decisive. He drew back the magic spear and thrust it with his backhand, while shaking his wrist to slightly adjust the angle of force. The scarlet spear blade seemed to come alive and rushed straight towards Shinji's face.

!!!

Shinji reacted quickly, swiftly wielding his spear to deflect the attack, but… the attack was hot on his heels. The scarlet demonic spear's afterimages filled his field of vision.

"It's still a little off after all~"

Beneath his visor, Shinji sighed inwardly. He'd first learned swordsmanship, then moved on to spears. Even with his best efforts, he still fell short.

He only deflected a portion of the attack, and a lot of it landed on the Build armor. Fortunately, the armor was strong enough, so he only felt a slight impact, and the impact was not serious.

Then he took a few steps back, stabilized his momentum, and dark purple energy burst out from his legs - Rider Kick!

A dark track appeared out of nowhere and rolled towards Cu Chulainn's position.

"boom--"

With a burst of explosions, a new hole was added to the crater... The skill was impressive, but it missed. Cú Chulainn, sensing danger, quickly retreated several steps, dodging the attack.

The rain was still falling, and it was getting heavier.

"It's really good."

At this time, Cu Chulainn saw Bai Ye coming back, holding an umbrella to protect Caster from the wind and rain. "It seems that you have reached an agreement?"

"Yeah, senior brother, are you...having fun with Shinji?" Bai Ye also greeted Cu Chulainn, and there was no atmosphere of confrontation at all.

"It's okay~"

Cu Chulainn casually played with the magic spear, spinning it, swinging it around his shoulder, and then passing it to his other hand. "Although this kid's basics are still lacking, he's managed to pique my interest."

"I'm really sorry for my poor foundation."

Shinji admitted this. Even if he was considered a genius, it was still too difficult to surpass others in just a few years, even if it took a lifetime of hard work. Not to mention that Cu Chulainn himself was not bad either.

He took out a slender sword with a completely black blade and a black-red handle. There was a small piece of iron chain extending from the end of the handle, and the guard was in the shape of a "卍" - Tensho Zangetsu!

When they couldn't find a suitable sword Noble Phantasm, Bronya made Shinji a sword made of soul steel. The sword has no special properties other than being sharp and strong enough.

Shinji flicked the blade lightly, and a clear sound was heard, which was a bit inconsistent with the style of his black metal armor.

But it doesn't matter~

"To be honest, I'm better at swordsmanship. As for spearmanship... I'm still young after all, and I need a little more practice. How about we try it out again, Brother~"

"..., forget it, it's getting late, let's wait until next time."

It can be seen that Cu Chulainn was somewhat tempted, but he finally suppressed his desire to fight.

"Really? That's a pity."

Shinji shrugged, took off his Build armor, and then heavy rain poured down... Damn, that was sloppy!

He quickly performed projection magic and temporarily created an umbrella to shelter from the rain - there were two role models at home, and several people had learned something from them, but he was not Shirou Emiya, and he could not maintain it for long.

"Haha, you are not careful enough, Junior Brother~ Let's go, that's all for this time." Cu Chulainn turned around and waved to the group, then carried the magic spear on his shoulder, turned into a golden spirit and left.

Only then did Bai Ye turn his gaze towards Shinji, "Stupid, if you really can't do anything else, just put on armor."

Unless someone penetrates it, the metal build armor can be reactivated. Of course, although this is what he said, Byakuya still constructed a raincoat and gave it to Shinji.

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Bai Ye."

Shinji just smiled and quickly put on his blue raincoat, and the already unstable umbrella in his hand also dissipated. "By the way, big brother, where are we going later?"

"Let's go to Ryudo Temple. It's closer to the Holy Grail and will be easier to handle."

"Master, is there something wrong with the Greater Holy Grail?"

Medea, standing nearby, also raised a question. Her previous exploration had been somewhat hasty, and she hadn't gone too deep. She only knew the ritual existed in Yuanzang Mountain, but she had no idea of ​​its specifics.

"Nothing, just that thing is broken, but it's obviously nothing to you, just sprinkle some water~"

"Oh, I remember now. No wonder big brother always went to Yuanzang Mountain. It turns out there was a problem there." Shinji hit his palm and said belatedly.

The black mud was very corrosive. For safety reasons, Bai Ye did not tell Shinji and the others and dealt with it alone.

In addition, Shinji's words also provided Medea with a lot of information - according to him, since it has already been handled, why does the Master have to handle it again?

Medea turned her gaze to Bai Ye and met his smiling eyes at first sight.

The two people were holding the same umbrella and were very close to each other. Medea could clearly feel the breath of the white night, and considering what the other party had said before... For a moment, Medea's white neck was covered with red clouds.

She lowered her head like a frightened deer and waited for Bai Ye's explanation: "That's right, we are not from this world. You know about the parallel world."

"The second method?"

"That's not the case, but if it's just about traveling to a parallel world, I can still do it."

???

Listening to Bai Ye's humble words, Medea had several question marks in her head. Fortunately, she was covered by the hood, so her expression could not be seen clearly. However... she felt that her role seemed not so great?

"Speaking of which, Brother Bai Ye, I wonder if this... should be Caster? Which era is she a hero from?"

At this time, Shinji finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked about Medea's origins.

"Her name is Medea, have you heard of her?"

"Medea? Damn..."

However, before Shinji could finish his words, Bai Ye hit him on the back of the head with a loud bang, interrupting his next words.

"Okay, okay~ I know what's going on. You just need to know that she is absolutely trustworthy. That's enough." Bai Ye defined the nature of the matter in an unquestionable tone.

Under the night sky, the three people gradually walked away, disappearing bit by bit in the rain...

247. That’s My Sister

With the help of some magic tricks, Bai Ye, Medea and his party successfully moved into Liudong Temple.

"Brother Bai Ye, is there anything you want to tell me?"

After arranging the guest rooms, Shinji was called down by Bai Ye, and he pulled over a chair and sat down - Bai Ye was not used to kneeling, so Sakura, Shinji and others followed suit, and it became like this now.

Of course, Medea also stayed, and Bai Ye tacitly allowed her to attend.

"Nothing much, just telling you some old stories. Of course, I'm talking about this world."

Bai Ye casually took out two cans of coffee and threw them to the two of them, then opened one for himself. His tone was very relaxed, "After all, this is the world I chose, so I still know some things."

"What is it..."

Focusing on Bai Ye's words, Shinji opened the can as usual and his expression froze slightly - it was coffee! Obviously, this was a result of Bai Ye's tricking him before.

Medea, on the other hand, didn't react much. With the knowledge bestowed by the Holy Grail, she knew what to do and began to taste it in small sips.

Although the taste was a bit bitter, she had made many potions before, so this little bitterness was nothing.
