Chapter 174: The Method to Resolve Disaster With Women
[Although trapped inside the mecha together with Britomart, you still insisted on going on the date with Baobhan Sith.]
[If possible, you want to escape before Britomart falls.]
[But… is it really that easy to escape?]
"You two idiots must have tried using external force to break the mecha already, right?"
Baobhan Sith asked.
"We did, but it turned out to be very difficult." Eikou said.
"Hehe, not to brag, but this armor is borrowed from my maternal family."
Britomart boasted proudly, her voice filled with confidence:
"It has the defensive level of a fortress. Normal strength can't break it at all."
"Thanks, that makes me feel a lot safer." Eikou replied.
Unless they asked a teacher at the Chaldea Academy to use a heavy-class Noble Phantasm to blow the mecha open, there was no chance for Eikou and Britomart to get out.
The risk was way too high, so they immediately discarded that plan.
Even though he desperately wanted to go on his date with Baobhan Sith, Eikou wasn't crazy enough to treat his own life—and Britomart's—as a joke.
"Then…"
Baobhan Sith quickly came up with another idea:
"Disaster With Women is a debuff, right? So why not use a skill that removes debuffs to get rid of it? If we clear out that trash debuff, won't the mecha return to normal?"
"?!"
Both of them were stunned.
Especially Eikou—he was shocked speechless by this idea.
"So there's actually this method?"
Didn't that mean…
As long as he learned a debuff-removal skill, he could permanently suppress Disaster With Women from ever activating again?!
"Baobhan Sith… maybe you really are a genius…"
"It took you this long and you never thought of this method? You're the real idiot here." Baobhan Sith said helplessly. "So, do you know which Servants can remove debuffs?"
"There's someone beside me who really can, and will definitely help."
"Who?"
"Of course, my good brother…"
Eikou replied full of confidence.
In his team was a versatile Archer, good at supporting and healing allies — Tristan!
Not only could he remove debuffs, but he could clear them for the entire team.
"I didn't expect the cure for Disaster With Women to be right next to me this whole time. From now on I can just go to Tristan whenever I need."
Eikou didn't hesitate and immediately grabbed his phone to text him.
「Tristan, I found a way to become immune to Disaster With Women...」
「I'll come find you right away, please use a skill to remove the Disaster With Women debuff for me, I'm really counting on you!」
Tristan's message arrived in one second:
「NO!!!!!」
"?"
Eikou wondered what the hell this guy was doing now—at a time like this he still refused to help a brother?
「Sir Eikou, think for just a moment and you'll understand...」
Tristan's explanation came very quickly:
「The ones most heavily affected by Disaster With Women are married woman, and today is the day the debuff is at its strongest. How could I possibly bear to remove it for you? I'm counting on you to help the married woman club grow strong, and officially become the second-generation president of the married woman club...」
"I don't want to inherit your stupid married woman club, you pervert! Hurry up and get over here and remove my debuff!!"
Eikou sent a voice chat directly.
「I refuse!」
Tristan rejected stubbornly:
「Haizz, I'm truly very sorrowful. You finally discovered the method to resolve it...」
"You bastard, you mean you figured out from the beginning that removing the debuff was the solution, but never once told me?!"
Eikou pressed a hand to his forehead, feeling his blood pressure spike.
But then Tristan sent several more messages:
「Fine, since we're brothers, how could I completely refuse to help you?」
「It's just that according to my personal principles, I absolutely won't help you directly.」
「Medea, Marie Antoinette, and even Wu Zetian (Lancer Swimsuit)...」
「All of those Servants can remove debuffs. Go ask them for help!」
"The list you gave is full of married woman—this is like a critically ill patient going to a doctor for treatment, only to infect the doctor first!"
Eikou was so furious he immediately blocked Tristan.
Damn it, this bastard really couldn't be relied on at the crucial moment!
"Unbelievable! Chaldea is huge—don't tell me that besides Tristan and a bunch of married woman, no one else can remove debuffs?"
Eikou raged:
"How about we try the infirmary? I'm just guessing, but Nightingale and Asclepius might have that skill..."
Halfway through speaking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Ohya, isn't this my little brother?"
Everyone turned around simultaneously.
Before them stood a French girl in simple casual clothes, blonde hair in braids — Jeanne.
[You all happened to encounter Jeanne.]
[You don't know why, but your instincts tell you she's somehow dangerous, making you want to pretend you don't know her.]
[But even so, she still recognized you — even though you're hiding in armor.]
Her clear blue-violet eyes looked curiously at the suit of armor, smiling as she asked:
"Little brother, why did you crawl into this armor?"
"How did you know it was me?"
Eikou froze, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Because I'm your big sister!" Jeanne narrowed her smiling eyes. "Even if you hide in armor, as your sister I'll recognize you instantly."
"Maybe it's because you have True Name Discernment...?"
At this point Eikou couldn't be bothered to argue about the "little brother" thing anymore. If Jeanne wanted to call him that, fine.
"Wait, Jeanne..."
He tested:
"Do you have some kind of debuff-removal skill?"
"First of all, you have to call me big sister." Jeanne corrected her tone with an instructive attitude. "After that, it's true that I have that kind of ability. The first Noble Phantasm, Luminosité Eternelle: God is Here With Me, can remove debuffs for allies."
"Then that's great, big sister!" Eikou immediately rejoiced, "Please, you must use the Noble Phantasm on me once!"
"Of course, leave it to me~?"
Her slender hands gently touched each other, happily agreeing right away.
"Hearing how anxious your voice is, you must have been hit with a pretty serious debuff, right?"
"That's right..."
Eikou let his guard down completely and honestly answered.
"Disaster With Women accidentally flared up, and this time it's extremely severe, causing me to get stuck inside the armor."
[Facing your sincere request, Jeanne cheerfully agreed.]
[She stood still, raised the flag high, and prepared to use the Noble Phantasm on you.]
[Under the holy light, you felt your body seemed to be partially healed...]
[—But just as the Noble Phantasm was about to fully activate, Jeanne's mind suddenly started spinning at a terrifying speed, and she realized a very serious problem...]
[Today your Disaster With Women is erupting very intensely.]
[In other words, scenes not suitable for children may very well occur.]
[And if your Disaster With Women gets erased, wouldn't that mean she won't be able to do "Hentai" things with you anymore?!]
