Chapter 106

"Found it—"

At the same time when Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to the guest room, two other groups of Black Camp participants appeared in the White Stork Riders' broadcast.

"It's the Saber team and the Archer team." Mustard Hinami raised her eyebrows and her eyes fell on the lavender-haired goddess on the screen, "The goddess actually listened to the instructions of humans... No, it seems that she was coerced by the other team because she was left alone. In this case, the three knights of the Black Camp are all gathered in the Tea Party Garden."

"Because no matter what, Miss Euryale is not a strong enough existence - Miss Euryale is very weak." Mashu took off the spirit-based exoskeleton armor Ortenaus and sat down to watch the live broadcast of the battlefield. "And her master should be someone from a non-combat world - and the Saber team is Irene Adler and Knight Dion."

"Knight Dion doesn't accept any unfavorable judgments related to gender..." Fujimaru Ritsuka washed his hands and came out of the bathroom, sitting next to Mash, "Considering the situation of the Lord of Protection - it's better to fight the Caster team. At least there are two real men there, and Yurielle can definitely charm them successfully."

"...So they formed an alliance." Mashu glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka and told everyone what Samson had accidentally heard while out. "Although Miss Euryale can be considered to have no fighting ability, her ability to seduce is a normal ability that will definitely work on men, whether they are humans or gods."

"Ms. Euryale's protector was persuaded by Ms. Irene Adler, and Knight Dion defeated Ms. Euryale - so the Saber and Archer teams of the Black Faction formed an alliance."

"Well, even if we ignore Asclepius' Noble Phantasm, the protector of Black Caster, Ranmu Aimura... he is not someone who can lose his fighting power just by the influence of abnormal state." Kirshtalia sat on the coffee table that was pushed to the wall to make room for the floor last night. "Ranmu Aimura's rap can create an illusion."

"Merlin's illusion...? No, is it an effect like the power of Aphrodite, the large terminal used for teaching intellectual bodies or the spirit-intelligence-warfare attack aircraft?" asked Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"...About that." Ophelia took a deep breath and looked at the hypnosis microphone in Amura Ransu's hand. "After all, rap sung with a hypnosis microphone is an attack that directly hits the spirit itself - but there are also legends that the moon can cause madness."

"Artemis' power can be useful here." Kirshtalia acknowledged Ophelia's idea and turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash who were sitting at the back. "But I don't think it will be used. Although the combat power of the Archer team of the Black Faction can only be said to be better than nothing, the siege of the Caster team of the Black Faction can be regarded as having begun."

"After all, they were weak enough to fight two at once." Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about the records of the Holy Grail Wars in various worlds and made a fair assessment. "If they showed their powerful strength, or broke the magician's principle of concealment - basically, such a combination would be collectively targeted by others."

"Unless the participants are confident that their strength is not inferior to that group - just like the Fourth Holy Grail War, when King Gilgamesh, Miss Artoria, and Emperor Iskandar gathered together." Fujimaru Ritsuka paused and looked at Mashu who was sitting next to him, "Or for example, the combination of Director Marisbury and King Solomon in the Fifth Holy Grail War."

"Magicians are naturally afraid of King Solomon's existence. He is the ancestor of magic and the magic king known for his wisdom." Kadoc was maintaining the hunting rifles and guns produced by Da Vinci's workshop in a corner of the reception room. "Even if we are exposed, we will not be besieged by the participants... Not to mention that Lord Animusphia has always acted cautiously and never expanded the scope of the battle."

"In short, Captain Marisbury's strategy is similar to ours now," Mash concluded. "Stay away from the battlefield and wait until the end to seize victory with one strike. However, the Caster team of the Black Faction does not meet any of the above conditions that make it impossible for them to be surrounded and annihilated."

"Yes, in terms of combat power, the Greek content of the servants this time is extremely high. Considering divinity and power, Artemis is undoubtedly the one with the highest combat power." Kirshtalia lowered her eyes and looked at her staff, "But except for us, no one knows that Artemis is actually squeezed into Orion's spiritual base."

"The best that Triton and Asclepius could do was to recognize that the Archer from the White Faction was Artemis."

"Besides, they don't have very good luck."

——You shouldn’t expose your weak state to the outside world.

The events that happened in the Rose Labyrinth on the first day were not planned, and he should have hidden his weakness in the subsequent actions. However, because of the dream, the relationship between Ransu Amura and Asclepius became worse. If there was no chance to change the lord in this Holy Grail War, Asclepius would not even be able to continue to provide Ransu Amura with the potion to sustain his life.

Euryale and Nico Yazawa appeared in front of Ransui Amura neither too early nor too late. Just after Asclepius handed over the potion and Ransui Amura's hands were still dripping with fresh blood on the grass - the Archer team from the Black Camp, who shared the common characteristic of "idols", appeared.

The goddess's singing voice echoed in the tea party garden - however, because all the skills that Euryale can use only have adverse judgments on men, only the two people in Caster's team are within her judgment range... Besides, even if they managed to escape Euryale's charm, the knight Dion waiting on the side would not be able to let them escape.

"Caster." Yicun Ransu drank the potion quickly and squeezed the bottle in his hand tightly, "Command Seal--"

"No need - by the way, let me try this." Asclepius picked up his lord and calmly looked at Euryale who appeared opposite him. "If you want to activate the ability of charm, even if you don't use the Noble Phantasm, I have the right skills to resist - or in other words, I can temporarily ban your ability to use the Noble Phantasm."

"It is useless for us to hide our real names, because we are from the same era and the same region - Goddess Euryale." Asclepius looked at Euryale while using his skills to forcibly treat Amura Ransu. "Although mortals rarely find the weaknesses of gods, it doesn't matter even if the real names are revealed, but -"

"Goddess Euryale, you are so weak that even manifesting as a Servant is a kind of strengthening. Generally speaking, when a God is demoted to a Servant, he will be weakened, not strengthened." Asclepius tightly controlled his own struggle, and calmly judged the changes in Yicun's physical state. "Guess how many people will come to besiege the weakest guy in the field?"

"That kid won't attack me." Yurielle said firmly.

“…What? All the ingredients for the ‘True Medicine: Useless Lament of the Underworld’ are gathered here?” Asclepius’ eyes suddenly sparkled. “After all, my wish is to study the treatments for various diseases in the world. Seeing a rare patient like Master is already a fulfillment of my wish.”

"And with that medicine... well, although it's not my medical skills that are used for treatment, but the power of God is used - this is more than enough for me."

“…In other words?”

The knight Dion, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally came out with Irene Adler, his eyes fixed on Asclepius.

"That is to say - I don't have any wishes that need to be fulfilled by the Holy Grail right now."

"Caster!?"

"Shut up." After silencing Yicun's random words, Asclepius looked at the two groups of people in front of him and made his request, "My wish for participating in the Holy Grail War is to reproduce the real resurrection potion that I once made due to various coincidences, and the participants in the current Holy Grail War have the raw materials for making that resurrection potion."

"As long as you can convince the White Faction to provide the raw materials for the real resurrection potion, even if the production fails this time, I will withdraw from the Holy Grail War—"

"Your Lord does not agree with your choice." Irene Adler looked at Asclepius and raised her lips. "It seems that he has a very urgent wish that needs to be fulfilled by the Holy Grail."

"I am Asclepius, the one who resurrected the dead." Asclepius finally mercifully let go of Amura Ransu and formally introduced himself to the patient who had been uncooperative with the treatment. "I am a member of the genealogy of the Greek god Apollo, and the ancestor of the concept of 'medicine' that has continued to the present and the future and unified the world. I am the god of medicine."

"I don't allow any of my patients to be discharged from the hospital without being cured. There are many ways to cure you, and you don't have to get the Holy Grail to solve the problem."

"There is such a high-spirited version of Asclepius..." Peperoncino touched his chin and turned to look at Cadoc hiding in the corner. "I thought he was always the dark type like Cadoc."

"Because Pepe-senpai is the super invincible Sun Horn..." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly and started to pick up her concept dress again. "By the way, the real resurrection potion made by Asclepius requires the rare ingredients that he cannot obtain many times, which are - Gorgon's blood and high-purity divine power of Athena or Artemis."

"But..." Mashuu glanced at Anna who was following behind Ophelia, his expression gradually becoming subtle, "Mr. Asclepius of the Valkyries, didn't he have any intentions towards little Anna? When he wanted the Gorgon's blood, he only had his eyes on Miss Gorgon and Miss Medusa at most..."

“Eurielie will definitely recognize Anna, but…” Kirshtalia’s expression gradually became subtle.

"Asclepius wouldn't be able to tell which time period Medusa was from based on Euryale's reaction," Fujimaru Ritsuka concluded. "Besides, even if everyone had seen each other face to face on the first day, he wouldn't have recognized Anna as Medusa. But since Asclepius of Heroes didn't set his sights on little Anna, that means little Anna's blood is not a raw material for making resurrection potion."

"That--"

"Inside the concept costume is the Gorgon blood that Asclepius had packed before."
