Chapter 389

In the end, because of some mysterious switch that was turned on, Da Vinci completed the production of the doll before the battle between Ms. Okita and Yuichiro was over, and sent it to the people using the material transmission system of spirit particle transfer.

"It's a product of Leonardo da Vinci, and it's trustworthy. Ah, it turns out that there are other members helping us." Shirou Emiya, who was sitting next to the communication array, stood up and patted the magic props that had just landed on the ground, and checked the handwritten instruction manual that Leonardo da Vinci had given him. "Another member who provided help was Paracelsus, who used the concept of human body imitation..."

"Six arms condensed back to two!?!"

"Source of samples: Origin 10-style, Sword Man (Tachi), Saber (Japan), and Memories of the Earth..." The people who gathered around Shirou Emiya to check the contents of the manual gradually fell silent. Yamatomori Yasunari and Kashuu Kiyomitsu started to complain, "By the way, where did this 'Memories of the Earth' come from?"

"It should be that Lord Haruaki filtered it out from the spiritual meridian node." Okita-kun touched his chin, and skillfully reached out to catch Miss Okita who was sent out of the field by the 10-style due to durability issues. "After all, 'Gaia' did not participate in this mission, and the guy who sneaked in with Lord Haruaki's Noble Phantasm cannot be stronger than Lord Haruaki's White Fox Form - she can't get through, and the same goes for the Master and that 'Sky'."

"How do you feel, Ms. Okita?" Shirou Emiya turned his head to look at Ms. Okita who had just been put down by Okita-kun. "As the first person to experience the training of mechanical dolls."

"Hmm... Kiyomitsu and Anjing should be able to hold out longer, but since Lord Harumi hasn't lifted the On-Yang Technique - or even if he has lifted the On-Yang Technique, in order to hold out in the battle for a longer time, we may all need to find a way to improve our breathing techniques." Ms. Okita put Kashuu Kiyomitsu back into the sheath, "But with the help of medicine research, we have found a feasible method."

"In that case, I'll give you another thing." Shirou Emiya touched his chin and added, "It's the request of the Medical Department. After receiving the first research report on breathing techniques from Yakuin, they began to study how to preserve your combat effectiveness."

"After all, because the concept of weakness is also engraved in your spiritual base - your lungs are just like when you were alive, as fragile as rice paper that breaks with a poke."

"One of the key points of the breathing method is that the user needs to expand the lungs." A conical blue scabbard gradually took shape in Shirou Emiya's hands. "For the two of you who have lung disease, this is tantamount to seeking death - although as long as the servant is treated in time and has sufficient magic power, no matter how badly injured he is, he will not die."

"So that group of Casters came up with this idea." Shirou Emiya sighed and pressed his forehead, handing the scabbard to Okita-kun and Okita-san. "Although there is only one scabbard "Avalon", the essence of both of you is the same person - so as long as the "distant utopia "Avalon" is buried in the body of one of you, both of you can recover quickly no matter how badly you are injured."

"Eh? Doesn't it mean that this Noble Phantasm can only be used when Artoria appears?!!" Ms. Okita asked in surprise.

"So I already said that it was those Casters who came up with this bad idea." Shirou Emiya sighed deeply and explained to the two, "Those guys from the amusement park 'Avalon' were all involved - after all, the thing in my body is actually the scabbard of a holy relic, not a weapon that appears with a Heroic Spirit as a Noble Phantasm."

"They used the power of the paradise 'Star Inland Sea' to reawaken this scabbard - as a simple magic costume that anyone can use."

"Those guys... can indeed do this." Okita-kun nodded helplessly and confirmed with Shirou Emiya, "So, since they asked you to hand over the "Distant Utopia "Avalon"" to us, they must have also told you who should be buried in the "Distant Utopia "Avalon"?"

"You." Emiya Shirou looked at Okita-kun, "Because Haruaki-sama is maintaining her inherent barrier at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and your first mission location is in Yoshiwara Yukaku, which has a huge flow of people. In order to avoid causing large-scale damage, you need to deploy the inherent barrier 'those flowers and water that separate the darkness'."

“And you should also know that if you do not receive treatment after unfolding this Noble Phantasm, you will be able to return to the Throne of Heroes in no time, right?”

So, while the Demon Slayer Corps on the other side began a large-scale joint training with the Pillars instructing other low-level soldiers - the four people who remained in the Swordsmith Village were training hard to defeat the evil spirits hiding in the Flower Street; and Yagen Toushirou, who had been staying in the Butterfly House, was also helping with the medical treatment during this time while continuing his breathing training.

"As the gourds get bigger, you can taste the smell of blood." After blowing up all the gourds that Yaken Toushirou had delivered to the swordsmith village by express delivery, Okita-kun held the upper half of the gourd and tilted his head to look at Miss Okita, "But the smell of blood disappears quickly every time."

"After all, it is the 'distant utopia "Avalon"' that can heal all injuries. It is said that Artoria's body stopped growing because of this scabbard." Ms. Okita put down the huge gourd that she had blown up and began to clean up the scene. "Although according to what those paradise fairies said, this scabbard only has the effect of recovery, and does not have the ability to 'stop'."

"Then, the next training direction is to try to maintain the breathing method all day long." Okita-kun and Okita-san picked up the broken gourd together and walked towards the training ground where the mechanical dolls made by Da Vinci were placed. "It just so happens that the village chief has only seen you fighting alone before. Neither of them nor I have ever fought in front of the village chief."

"I want to try and see how long I can last this time..." Ms. Okita complained to Mr. Okita.

The name of the mechanical doll produced by Leonardo da Vinci is Yuan-10 Type-Kai - a very simple and crude name that does not conform to Leonardo da Vinci's aesthetics - and in order to make it easier for local people without magic to activate the doll, this newly manufactured mechanical doll, like the original Yuan-10 Type, is activated by a corresponding key.

“…It’s just like the clockwork doll in the dream anomaly—just without the corresponding individual consciousness.” This is how Fujimaru Ritsuka commented on Leonardo da Vinci’s new work.

Three months later, Yagen Toshiro, who passed the final selection of the new batch of Fujisoyama, and four people from the swordsmith village all got their own Nichirin swords at the same time - and then, under the order of Abe Haruaki, they gathered in Yoshiwara Yugoku.

"Long time no see, everyone." Kotobuki Toushirou, who had been stationed in the flower street for a long time in the disguise of a girl, raised his hand to lift the curtain and signaled them to go in. "Time is tight. We will explain our preparations while you are in disguise. The battle will officially start in the second half of the night, so please be prepared."

"The battle will start in the second half of the night!?! No matter what--" Ms. Okita widened her eyes in surprise, but when she saw someone waiting in the room for a long time, she swallowed the original question, "Why are you here!?! We shouldn't have told the Master that we need a Servant to come to support us..."

"Ah, Master, you must have forgotten the content of the formal plan that you have updated with your hard training." The blonde knight replied to Ms. Okita with a smile, "Don't you already know the identity and hiding place of the enemy? Then the conditions for a direct battle have been gathered - all the preliminary preparations we made here before were to make the enemy focus on you as soon as you appear."

"To be more precise, I'm focusing on the fake identity of the oiran you're about to use, Okita. Change your clothes and put on makeup first."

"Then I'll leave it to you... Knight Dion."

Long before Okita-kun and Okita-san participated in the final selection, Chaldea had already grasped the specific location of the demon hiding in Hanamachi and his human identity, but the plan Chaldea originally wanted to use was still the conventional plan of infiltrating first and then looking for an opportunity to eliminate the enemy in order to minimize the scope of influence - this was also the arrangement in the version of the plan that Okita-kun and Okita-san knew.

"But just like Ms. Abe used the inherent barrier to directly erase the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps from reality - in the original plan, you, as a man, need to spread out the "flowers and water that separate the darkness" to separate the battlefield from the real flower street." Dion handed a bottle of magic potion to Ms. Okita, "To increase the length of your hair - your hair is too short, it's not suitable for an oiran hairstyle."

"Since we have to use his Noble Phantasm anyway, why not draw the enemy's attention to us right from the start?"

"So what preparations have you made?" On the other side, Okita-kun, who was dressed up by Kotobuki Toushirou, asked Dion.

"Master, I'm not the only Servant sent here this time." Dion held up Miss Okita's pink hair that had grown longer due to the potion, and answered Okita-kun, "In short, it attracted the attention of the entire Yugoku in a very high-profile manner. We completed the entire process of turning a 'non-existent oiran' into a 'highly famous oiran' before you even arrived."

"Then, according to the plan, today is the first time this oiran will 'open her shop'. That is, after putting on makeup, you will immediately prepare for the 'oiran dochu'."

"Will that ghost definitely notice you?" Shinobu Kocho, who arrived at Hanama Street earlier than the five and completed her shift with the Demon Slayer Corps assigned here, asked Dion while holding her Nichirin Sword. "Besides, even if we reduce the proportion of ordinary people as much as possible, the owner and his wife of this store are still ordinary people who need protection..."

"Ah, after all, she is the most famous courtesan in Yuukoku." Dion smiled and inserted the hairpin into Ms. Okita's hair, and answered with his back to Shinobu Kocho, "Besides, when 'something that does not exist' becomes 'something that really exists', she will definitely notice this abnormality at the first time."

"Before, we used the charm provided by Ms. Abe to hide this shop. The charm will be invalid tonight. This is a bait for catching ghosts."
