Chapter 416

【Shock————！】

【Takanashi Chika's ahoge straightened instantly; an animal's intuition told her that the one before her was the true Great Demon King.】

【She was no longer afraid of Sakura-sama and hid directly behind Yingdao Mai.】

【"Since no Heroic Spirit is responding to the summoning..."】

【The youth smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "Then why not summon me? After all, I quite like this little Rikka."】

Once the words were spoken.

Both inside and outside the world, it went quiet.

"Are you finally done playing, Holy King?"

"I feel like even the Fourth War is different in the Holy King version; he's completely a troll, happily watching the show for so long."

Many people sighed.

No one thought that even a Singularity, or a Beast, could trouble the Holy King.

As long as that person is truly the Holy King, none of this is a problem.

The problem is whether he is willing to care.

"However, I feel it's not that simple."

"Damn it, don't be a jinx."

"Unspoken words, unspoken words."

……..

【"Summon you?"】

【Yingdao Mai was stunned.】

【Is Belly-black-kun finally dropping the act?】

【In fact, long ago, she guessed that Luo Shu might not be human.】

【But a Heroic Spirit summoned by Chaldea's earliest Master and Chaldea's first director—Sawamura Spencer Yuri.】

【After all, the Heroic Spirit summoning system that doesn't require the Holy Grail only fully matured this year, but it took shape much earlier.】

【"Correct."】

【The youth nodded and said with a smile: 'In the end, all we need is the qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War; even obtaining the Holy Grail is not a necessary option."】

【"So, using the Holy Grail to summon a blank Servant vessel and then having me inhabit it will have the same effect."】

【"Well, although I am just a mortal, I still have some insights into magecraft, so being a Caster shouldn't be a problem."】

……. 、

"Damn, your jinxing mouth was right."

"Bullshit, if my words could influence the Holy King, the President would have to kneel down and call me Daddy."

"Bull... damn, it really is."

All over the world.

Many people were disappointed.

As everyone knows, watching TV won't kill you, but watching the Sky Curtain will.

Not only will it, but it's often a damn crisis where all of humanity holds hands and dies together.

Therefore, at this moment, humanity's mood is the same as Yingdao Mai's on the Sky Curtain.

Do your best, Mai-chan.

Billions of people are standing with you; you must conquer the Holy King.

Believe in yourself, you can do it.

Kobe.

Film base.

In her temporary residence, Yingdao Mai, dressed in casual home attire with a wifely temperament, looked at the messages flooding the entire network, feeling ashamed and furious.

You guys, do you have no integrity at all?

All of humanity: What's the use of integrity when you're dead? Besides, is licking the Holy King called having no integrity? That's called gratitude.

"Forget it."

Yingdao Mai didn't want to see it, patted her flushed cheeks to calm down, and began to wash up, make breakfast, and prepare to go to the set.

It is said that many fans are coming to visit the set today.

One of them is even the previous Sky Curtain Master, the once-famous detective Mouri Kogoro.

However...

Yingdao Mai rubbed her temples.

It seems Mouri Kogoro's reputation isn't very good; mainly, wherever he goes, people die.

Many who didn't believe in the curse either became the deceased or the perpetrator.

Behind his back, his nickname isn't "Sleeping Kogoro," but "The Death-Bringer of the Reiwa Era."

It should be... it should be a rumor...

I don't know why.

Yingdao Mai is a little panicked.

Subconsciously looking at the Sky Curtain, she blurted out: "Belly-black-kun, let me dream of it sooner."

She was shocked by the tone of this address, which was exactly the same as her version on the Sky Curtain.

Yingdao Mai stood stunned for a long time before hesitantly walking toward the set.

Perhaps it was because she wanted to obtain the power from the Sky Curtain sooner?

……

Sky Curtain.

【"Meditate on the Command Spells, every line, every curve."】

【"Suggest to yourself, concentrate, communicate, call out."】

【"Do not stop the incantation, and do not let it get messy."】

【"Do not panic."】

【Yingdao Mai said seriously: "This time it will definitely succeed."】

【"Believe in yourself, believe in Shu-kun; although he looks a bit unreliable, he is undoubtedly someone you can completely trust."】

【It is already dusk.】

【In the desolate abandoned factory, the girl named Takanashi Rikka's crisp voice gradually carried a hint of solemnity as she chanted:】

【"….. Entwined with the seven days of the three great incantations."】

【"Cross the ring of suppression and appear, guardian of the balance."】

【Different.】

【Completely different.】

【This time, the moment she opened her mouth, Takanashi Rikka felt as if she had traveled through time and linked to some infinitely magnificent entity.】

【Countless pieces of information flashed in her mind, then sank into the depths of her consciousness.】

【She felt with absolute clarity that she was establishing a connection with another individual far away.】

【Infected by him, transformed, stained, resonating…….】

【By the end, she didn't need to recall the complex incantations at all; her body seemed to complete everything naturally.】

【She didn't need to complete the summoning; she understood it now.】

【It's real!】

【It's all real!】

【Everything the officer said is true.】

【Ecstasy? Excitement? Cheering?】

【Don't know.】

【She only felt as if everything around her, every image and every sound, was fading, and she was isolated from the world.】

【All her attention was focused on the glowing magecraft array, or rather, the altar.】

【Until an incomparably brilliant light shot into the sky, like a "dragon" roaring upward, piercing the sky.】

【And that relaxed, composed, casual figure walked out from within: "Yo, following the procedure…….."】

【Silver, magnificent eyes gazed over, and a frivolous smile played on his handsome face: "Should I ask, 'Please, are you my Master?'"】
