The barbecue party that was held in the ruins of Sergei Omiya's house lasted for nearly two hours before it ended. In the last segment, as I expected, Saber and Sandora had a battle of appetite. The two kings who were famous for their large stomachs dismembered the obviously overprepared barbecue. It was as if I couldn't understand the structure of Sandora's stomach. In fact, Saber's appetite was also beyond the realm of biological explanation. If it wasn't for the fact that Sandora's hunting range was too bizarre, perhaps the two of them would be evenly matched in terms of appetite.
But unfortunately, Saber was still slightly inferior. The moment Sandora broke off a piece of metal from the barbecue rack with a proud smile, Saber's defeat became an established fact.
"I admit defeat." The Ahoge King sincerely lowered his noble head to Sandora. But then again, as a serious and serious Knight King, do you think it's appropriate for a simple-minded Schilling Queen to lead him into such a strange competition?
Since the main house was destroyed by the landing pod, Sergei Omiya and a large number of tenants had a problem sleeping at night. In the past, Sergei Omiya had always complained that the house was too big and that it was always empty when he lived alone. But now, he finally didn't have to complain like that. Instead, he had a headache about how to solve the problem of sleeping at night.
But in the end, I tactfully declined Rin's kind offer to let everyone stay at her place temporarily. That was because I was completely certain that this missy, who seemed to have a large family business on the surface, but was actually afraid of poverty in her bones, would definitely not give up on any opportunity to exploit her tenants. Especially when Pandora miraculously took out a standard planet living pod from her personal space. The way Rin looked at us was practically glowing like a crazed gem. I was willing to bet that as long as there was a chance, this poor missy wouldn't hesitate to extort our "precious alien wealth" until there wasn't even a single screw left.
Thus, not even three days after we logged into the Fate world, we once again slept in the steel barracks of the Xiling Empire. Even though Sergei Omiya was quite interested in this new experience, and even Rin seemed to be eager to give it a try, I only felt a pang of sadness in my balls.
The next morning, we woke up early so that Pandora could quickly store the living pod back into her personal space. After all, it was already shocking enough that more than half of the Wei Gong Residence was destroyed in a single night. If people were to see a row of seemingly high-tech living pods appearing out of nowhere in the courtyard, Sergei Omiya would have to spend the rest of his life in the research institute.
Then, Daikawa Fujimura, who came to get a free meal as usual, was so frightened by the Wei Gong Residence that it looked like a battlefield that he started babbling incoherently.
"Sergei Omiya — — Sergei!!!" Fujimura's high-pitched scream caused someone's car alarm to go off. The valiant woman with the nickname of Tiger lifted the unlucky Wei Gong Kun up into the air with one hand while pointing at the ruins with her other hand. "Could this be due to the gas explosion!?"
"Sister Fujimura, Sister Fujimura, you must calm down!" Shiro Omiya, who was lifted up into the air, quickly thought of a way to calm down his guardian who had gone berserk in name. "This is just an ordinary gas pipeline explosion. The house has been in disrepair for many years, and the gas pipeline has been malfunctioning frequently recently. The explosion can only be said to be an unfortunate accident. This morning, when the police came over, they also made the same judgment."
The police who came over in the morning? Sorry, the omnipotent Miss Amiya used some sort of method to "control" them. For a magician's organization, it was quite common for them to use unconventional methods to deceive ordinary people and cover up the various disastrous consequences of their magic activities.
"Tell me the truth, did you provoke someone that you can't afford to provoke? Mafia or terrorists!? " Fujimura, who was on a rampage, suddenly put Wei Gong down. Then, she pressed down on Wei Gong's shoulder and asked in a very serious tone.
Although this connection was a little strange, it seemed that she really cared about her friend's orphan. Wei Gong, who was not good at lying, immediately fell silent when he saw Fujimura's sincere expression of concern.
Was he going to admit that his house was bombed by aliens?
Fortunately, Teiko stepped forward in time to help. "Sister Fujimura, Wei Gong is not lying. Last night, a very serious gas explosion did happen. If it wasn't for the fact that we were at the dojo … uh, sparring with each other, we would have been in danger."
"Hmm?" Seeing that even Zuotian Lei Zi, who had been so obedient, was testifying, Fujimura started to feel suspicious. Wei Gong quickly struck while the iron was hot. "Yes, yes, Sister Fujimura, this house is too old. The gas pipe underneath must have been damaged, and with the two gas explosions earlier, it looks like the pipe here is completely ruined."
"So that's how it is?" Fujimura seemed to have been completely brainwashed. She nodded. "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that we don't dare to live here anymore? Wei Gong, I've decided. From tomorrow onwards, you're going to move over to my place! "
"Ah?" Wei Gong was stunned. He quickly shook his head. What a joke. It was easy for him to move over, but what about the large group of aliens at home? Furthermore, he was currently the target of the magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War. If he were to move over, even if Sister Fujimura was the daughter of a mafia boss, she would definitely be implicated. "There's no need for that. No matter what, this is the house that Qie Si's father left behind. As the heir, how can I leave at such a time? I should stay behind to clean up the mess! "
"What about your friends?"
Fujimura showed a satisfied expression at Wei Gong's reply. Then, she turned her gaze towards us.
"As Qie Si's close friends, it is our duty to help his family get through this difficult time!"
I raised my head and spoke loudly. The morning sun shone on my face, giving me a dazzling radiance.
"I … I'm so touched!" Tiger Fujimura exclaimed exaggeratedly. "This is such a touching and shining quality. Don't worry, although the old man at home is a troublesome fellow, I will definitely persuade him to help you rebuild this house!"
Sandora and I exchanged glances and cheered in our hearts at the same time. "Yay! We found a sucker … "
Now, even the construction team in Avalon was spared.
"Oh right, Sister Fujimura, did Sakura not come over today?"
Seeing that Fujimura had finally calmed down, Shiro Wei Gong finally had the chance to ask the question that he had wanted to ask from the very beginning. "She used to come over every day, but recently … Sakura seems to be very busy."
"You brat, you're really getting old."
Fujimura revealed an aged expression and gave Wei Gong a dubious look. Then, before Wei Gong could retort, he decisively changed the topic. "As for Sakura, she said yesterday that she suddenly felt a little dizzy. She seems to be resting at home today."
"Is Sakura sick?" Wei Gong immediately became nervous. The concern in his voice made Fujimura's expression even more dubious.
"It's just a small problem. When she called, she sounded quite energetic. She probably just caught a cold … Wow! It was already at this time! I haven't even had breakfast yet! Damn the gas explosion, this world full of gas explosions might as well be destroyed - la - la - "
With a series of drawn-out noises, Fujimura, who seemed to have become accustomed to being late for work, left our line of sight, leaving behind everyone else looking at each other in dismay.
"Alright, it's getting late. I should go to school."
Wei Gong looked at the direction where Fujimura disappeared from a distance. He sighed helplessly, then turned around and said, but Saber suddenly stopped him.
"Saber?" Wei Gong asked in surprise.
The blonde girl hesitated for a moment before casting a searching glance at us.
It was obvious that she wanted to tell her summoner who had appointed Rider, as well as the fact that the girl named Sakura was actually one of the masters of the Holy Grail War. For a person who adhered strictly to the path of a knight, it would be too contradictory to keep such a secret from the master she was supposed to be loyal to.
Sigh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have allowed Saber to participate in this. In the end, I couldn't help but let her know some of the information we had previously "observed." Now, trouble finally came knocking on our door. But then again, capturing a Heroic Spirit alive and leaving Saber, who was an enemy Heroic Spirit, out of the picture was probably impossible. Besides, Wei Gong was also one of the parties involved in the capture of Rider. Sooner or later, he would ask this question, and Saber would definitely tell him the truth.
"What's the matter?" Wei Gong wasn't an idiot. Just by looking at our eye contact, he knew that we were definitely hiding something from him. Even Saber, who had always been honest and sincere, seemed to want to say something but was hesitant. This made him even more curious.
I casually took out the cell phone that Bubble had personally made. It was said to be able to call the White House's hotline by simply dialing a number, but in reality, it was more like a high-definition handheld game console. I dialed Enaka's home number. "Hello, Enaka? It's me, er, alien … who helped Wei Gong apply for a leave of absence. He went out yesterday and hasn't returned yet. I'm afraid that he won't be able to attend class … You know that it's a lie, yet you still ask! Just make up a random reason! "
There was probably no one else other than us "aliens" who could speak to Miss Enaka in such a manner, right?
"Hey! Don't make such a decision on your own! "
Wei Gong immediately protested loudly when he saw that I had easily destroyed his attendance record, which he had maintained for an entire semester.
"If you still want to attend class after listening to Saber, it won't be too late to protest then."
I rolled my eyes at him, then threw the mess directly to Saber.
Rider was still locked in a special cage in the dojo. Although it was said to be a prison, it was more like a treatment facility. Other than the fact that patients weren't allowed to leave at will, the crystal platform was not only harmless, it was even equivalent to a treasure for heroic spirits.
Rider must have noticed it herself, because when we walked in front of her, she immediately took the initiative to approach us.
"Sakura Jiatsuru didn't come today," I spoke before she could, "The psionic energy has invaded her brain nerves. She started to feel dizzy yesterday."
"How could that be … Didn't you say that the erosion was harmless to humans?"
"When did I say it was harmless? I only said that it was relatively less harmful to humans, and you don't have to worry. According to the current information, Sakura's current condition isn't too bad. As for you, how's your recovery? "
"It's not a big deal," Rider shook her head, "But when can you start to treat Sakura's body?"
"I called you here to talk about this," I casually pulled out a chair and sat down next to her, "From now on, everything I say is the truth, and you have to keep it a secret, understand?"
Rider was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "As long as it doesn't harm Sakura, I have no interest in revealing your secrets."
I took a deep breath and slowly said, "First, everything about Sakura. Pay attention, everything, including the time she yawned every morning when she was still at the Enaka Family. We know everything about her. This is the main premise."
Rider was stunned for a long time this time. Such news obviously surprised her, but in the end, she still nodded. Yup, she probably agreed with the sentence 'peeping is the privilege of aliens'.
"Then, we now have a way to end everything and let Sakura get the happy life she deserves, and all of this is related to the erosion of the psionic energy. I need you to help with an experiment. This experiment is unprecedented, and for you, there is a certain risk, but our technology will ensure that the risk is minimized. So, one percent risk or letting Sakura be reborn, which one will you choose?"
"If it's really as you said, then I don't have a problem cooperating in any experiment. After all, Heroic Spirits can't die."
After using ten seconds to roughly understand what I said, the Heroic Spirit named Medusa gave such an answer without hesitation.
"Very well, then tomorrow, the psionic energy in Sakura's body will temporarily calm down. I will arrange for her to meet you," I nodded, then took out something from my dimensional pocket, "This is the contract, sign here. As for the compensation for the experiment, do you have a bank card?"
Rider, who had a serious face and was even a little nervous, almost fell to the ground, "You still want to sign a contract?"
"Nonsense! I have a legal research organization under me! " I had a matter-of-fact expression on my face as I watched Rider pick up a pen and draw on a piece of paper with a conflicted expression. Then, I suddenly noticed something rather interesting. "Hey, Medusa, don't tell me you can't read?"
Her clumsy way of holding the pen, her crooked writing was like drawing circles, just like me … Err, just like a primary school student who had just learned to write!
"How can that be! It's just that I haven't written for a long time, and I'm not used to modern words … "Rider retorted on the spot, then suddenly froze," You know my real name?! "
The real name of a Heroic Spirit was their greatest secret. It involved their past achievements and extended from it, the ultimate skills and artifacts that they relied on to survive. After being summoned, other than their master, a Heroic Spirit wouldn't let anyone else know their real name. Thus, when I accidentally called out her real name, Medusa immediately felt very surprised and vigilant.
This, it seemed like I couldn't explain it with the excuse of aliens peeping, and that excuse was a little too lame …
"That's a secret." I used an all-purpose reason to gloss over it, "Anyway, I know the name of every Heroic Spirit in the entire Holy Grail War. I know their ultimate skills, artifacts, hobbies, habits, feeding range, hibernation cycle, height, weight, cholesterol content, everything!"
"Although you make it sound impressive, I keep feeling that something was mixed in at the end," Rider said in a subtle tone as she passed the signed contract back to me.
Rider said in a subtle tone as she handed the signed contract back. The string of symbols on the contract was even more abstract than her sister's drawing. It was breathtaking. And the strange thing was, Medusa was just a very simple name. Even if she added some family name or mixed surname, there was no need to sign two whole lines, right?
"You wrote it wrong, cross it out."
Rider tilted her head awkwardly, still using the same indifferent tone. Was it just my imagination? Did she blush just now?
When I walked out of the dojo, the first person I saw was Shiro Wei Miya, who had been waiting in front of me.
Looking at his expression, I could roughly guess how much Saber had told him. It was likely that Wei Miya already knew about the things that we had told him, about how Sakura had been adopted by the Jiantong family since she was young, and how she had been modified by the Engraved Insects …
Looking into the distance, I could see Saber standing next to the ruins of the former main residence. She was looking at me apologetically but firmly. It was obvious that the honest Saber had finally decided to tell me everything, even though it was difficult for others to accept what she had said, but it was only a matter of time before it was revealed.
"Is that all true?"
Wei Miya asked in a seemingly calm tone as he slowly walked in front of us. He lowered his head, making it impossible for me to see his expression clearly. However, it was obvious that he didn't have a good expression.
"What's your decision now?"
I didn't answer his question, but my rhetorical question already explained everything. So, Wei Miya, what are your thoughts? Towards the girl that you've always had feelings for but didn't realize it, what kind of answer will you give after you know what she went through?
"Of course, it's to save Sakura!" Shiro Wei Miya didn't hesitate for even a second, and he even shouted out those words reflexively.
"That's a wise choice, young man." I patted Shiro Wei Miya's shoulder like an old man. "Then, just save her. This is a complete rescue. We will help you."
This time, it was Wei Miya's turn to be surprised.
Facing his surprised gaze, I chuckled and said, "Let's treat it as compensation for destroying your house. Is it a success?"
Sandora, who was beside me, immediately poked me in the waist with her elbow. "First, you lied to him to participate in a biochemical experiment, and then you refused to pay the compensation for the forced demolition. Isn't that a little too ruthless?"
Tsk, just wait and see. This silly brat is so easy to fool.
As expected, Shiro Wei Miya didn't hesitate in the slightest, and he immediately showed a grateful expression. "If this is all it takes to help Sakura, then it's really worth it!"
See, I told you that he would definitely fall for it!
