Magical girl Morgan... what in the world is this...
"How do you like it, my husband? The fairies of paradise grow differently from other fairies. I too had such a childhood."
"Indeed... to think this is possible. Morgan is cute."
"Hehe, you can praise me a bit more."
I patted Morgan's head. Of course, since we're about the same height now, it's a bit uncomfortable... I think this kind of experience isn't bad in its own way.
I shouldn't fall for this gaslighting. If this continues, the others might try to TS me too.
"So, with the last member joined, are we heading out right away?"
"Yes! I've already prepared the transportation!"
The Shadow Border appeared outside the Enma-tei. Riding this and racing across the sea. Fun, right?
"Back in the day, I played a lot of car simulations."
"If Master is driving, that's welcome!"
"The lunchboxes are ready."
"We're heading out immediately. I'll take the passenger seat."
"But, is it okay to leave the kids behind? Is this Enma-tei safe?"
I was worried about Asterios and Euryale staying at the Enma-tei, in case the Argonauts might come after them again...
"Don't worry. I called for some help."
"I see. If Benienma called them, then it should be fine. Well then, shall we depart?"
I immediately sat in the driver's seat. But my feet don't reach properly...
"Wait a moment~!"
Whir~ Clank!
Soon, the driver's seat, pedals, and various parts mechanically transformed to perfectly fit my height. Great, now this makes driving enjoyable.
"Then, let's go!!!"
I accelerated fully to reach maximum speed and raced off. Incredible speed...! Turning at this speed would be tough, right? Phoenix Gordolf, what kind of battles have you been through...!
"By the way, did you drink a potion or use a hammer?"
"I made the potion myself."
"To make a rejuvenation elixir..."
"It's a bit different. I used a potion that only makes the body younger, like yours, without affecting the mind. Rejuvenation elixirs make the mind younger too."
"That's true."
After all, cases like Gilgamesh or Sanne are like that.
[Alright~ Navigation input complete! Just head to the location shown on the screen!]
Da Vinci gave advice via communication from the control room. I immediately drove while looking at the navigation on the screen.
Swoosh...!
"That's... a giant fish!?"
Then, a huge fish rising from beyond the sea came into view. It's bigger than a ship!? Size-wise, it's Nautilus-class!
"We'll intercept it right away."
Morgan pressed some red button from the passenger seat...
Kaboom!!!!
"...Missiles?"
"In the Fairy Kingdom of the past, there was the Holy Sword itself, right? If the Nautilus had it mounted as a cannon, here we have missiles designed based on Altria's Holy Sword creation and my Longiominia, and installed with that. The culmination of technology made in collaboration with Chaldea's Science and Technology Division. With help from Universe's Altria and Alter, and Ashtoreth, we applied Universe's technology as well. It'll surpass Atlas."
"Eh... like what?"
"For example, based on Universe's warp function and the power of the Jeweled Sword Bonding Skill, it's possible to go to other world lines. It's the realization of the Second Magic. Or, using Universe's knowledge of time lines, we can go to the past like the Fifth Magic. However, in the past, similar to X and XX, your past and future selves would coexist."
"Like the Marvel Universe..."
The multiverse of great chaos is out... no hope!
"I don't really understand difficult talks... but if Master wishes it, Beni will follow you anywhere!"
"I think going to other world lines might be a while later..."
Is this a flag too? Damn... I, this guy, was a Master full of clichés from light novels.
[100 meters ahead! That's the base of the corrupted magical girl we have to fight!]
"Hmm... this place feels like the genre has changed."
This isn't an island...? This is like, the middle of a game. A completely different place from that crappy game FGO. What is this? When was this made? Did the magical middle-aged change it like this while buying time?
Squeak...!!!
Stopping the Shadow Border, I opened the roof hatch and got out.
"...Shallow."
Although it's seawater, it's very shallow. Not like a tidal flat. The water doesn't even cover half my feet. Kuro is here...
"Welcome, Master."
"...Haven't you grown a bit? Kuro."
"I boosted my power this time, you know? After all, I received a Holy Grail? Ilya got five, and I only got two. It's a bit hurtful to my pride~ I wasn't using the Holy Grail's power at first! But you know what? I'm another Ilya separated from Ilya. The original Ilya. However, thanks to Class Cards, I'm materialized like this and alive. When I use the Holy Grail's power, I get closer to the source of this power, you see? I grew a bit to match that... sadly, I didn't grow as big as Mama~ About teenage level, I guess?"
Kuro with a slightly grown appearance. This place... could it be a Reality Marble? Compared to other places and the Magic Palace, it feels alien. Could it be, Unlimited Blade Works...? Its appearance changes based on the user's psyche. Emiya Alter did that, and Prisma's Shirou changed it to a snowfield.
Using the Holy Grail, freely changing it to match the sea setting, perhaps. It feels like a real different game world.
"Aren't you using Kanshou and Bakuya?"
"No. Wouldn't that make me too much like a copy of Dumpty? It's nice to feel like a couple, but... I'm Chloe von Einzbern. I am me. First of all, I don't get why Dumpty uses those. Dumpty's Japanese too, so why Chinese twin swords? Honestly, I don't get it~"
"I don't know either."
Swing~
Kuro projected a single short sword. That short sword, ominous. A dragon-slaying sword, perhaps. I quickly released the Bonding Skill of Black Jeanne, Dragon's Memory. She's aiming for type advantage.
"Well~ I have a lot of grievances with Master Dumpty too, you know? Why did you summon Ilya but not us~ We also like playing with Dumpty. And I was curious. Magical Boy and magical girl, which is stronger? So... will you play seriously with me for a bit? Dumpty."
Suddenly a serious battle scene... fun.
We stared at each other for a moment...
The moment I twitched my finger, countless swords poured down from the sky. So it is Unlimited Blade Works. The Unlimited Blade Works of Kuro, Ilya's half-self, who can project Excalibur without issue with the Holy Grail's magical energy. Scary.
Kaboom!!!!
"...Blocked."
Morgan's multiple barriers blocked Kuro's attack. Soon after, the lando satchel that Da Vinci sent opened, revealing numerous mechanical devices. The bottom of the lando satchel opened, and mechanical arms appeared like Doctor Octopus, stabbing into the ground as Robinci floated in the air.
"Now, it's the era of the science girl!"
Fwoosh!!!!
Countless missiles fired from the lando satchel. Then the missiles decomposed into smaller missiles that flew. As they reached Kuro, a large explosion occurred, and with smoke clearing, a pink barrier appeared. Rho Aias, perhaps.
Crack!!!
Following that, Benienma used Sparrow Slash to quickly cut through the barrier, and then countless Excaliburs were projected in the air...
"Sorry, but you can't beat me with a Reality Marble."
"Hmm?"
Bonding Skill, [End of Infinity]
"This is... a Reality Marble. My junior's barrier."
"Junior because of how it looks?"
Okita Alter's Bonding Skill. Materializing the world of infinity, it dismantles Unlimited Blade Works. A world with only white earth and blue sky. I pulled out the Purgatory stuck in the ground. This one has no ego, it seems. A pity...
"Going to settle this with swords?"
"No... I'll use taekwondo."
Throwing the sword behind me, I slowly walked towards Kuro.
"Eh? Isn't that too sudden? What is that... some national pride thing?"
"Not that."
Click.
"...Hmm?"
"Taek'Gun'do. Nowadays, taekwondo dojos teach how to shoot guns."
[Origin Bullet]
"...Are you serious? Master."
"Yes."
"...I see. Even that kind of Master, I like."
"Ah... I really like Kuro too. Goodbye, Kuro."
Bang!
"Ouch... shooting the forehead is too much."
"With this, game over. Your defeat, Kuro."
Well, a Servant who ate a Holy Grail wouldn't die from one Origin Bullet, right? Kuro cleared. Next, then, Miyu, perhaps?
============================
At the entrance of the Enma-tei. Jason and Heracles, who came tracking with Medea Lily's tracing magecraft.
"Is it here? What's with this exotic castle. Let's enter!"
"Stop right there. This is not a place for thieves to enter."
"...And who are you? Think you can stop me and Heracles?"
"There's no reason I can't. After all, I am a nurse."
