Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: This Master is Too Cautious For Being So Strong (3)

What is Artorium?

The so-called Saber's ahoge, which in the Servant Universe is said to be valuable and important fuel, like oil. What we need to do is recover the scattered spaceship parts and Artorium from my room, which has become a Singularity, and restore it to its original state.

Therefore, at present, even Shiki can't manage automatic recovery, so we have no choice but to move ourselves.

"Why did a humanities major come instead of a science major, the engineer?"

"That's too mean!"

"It's fine. There's an Area 42 for torturing aliens."

"Who would think I'm an alien?! Have you ever seen an alien this cute and pretty!?"

"... If we're talking cute and pretty fairies, there's one right here?"

"Ahem...! Being called a fairy isn't bad, but am I superior to you? Also, I'm ahead in terms of experience."

"W-what did you say!?"

"Ah, are you perhaps a virgin? Wow... no relationships, yet you have a daughter. Might be the worst as a lover?"

"Grr, die Saber!!!"

X, unable to contain herself, swings her sword, but Caster Artoria easily dodges, plucks a stalk of grass to make a holy sword, and throws it at X. It just grazes past her and explodes the moment it pierces the ground. A truly brute-force method. Well, she was the one who made bombs with magecraft...

"How can this be so unreasonable..."

"I'm the Saber among Sabers, the Grand Saber! Though I'm a Caster now."

"Damn it, I need to become the protagonist in the main story soon...!"

"It probably won't come even after a thousand years. Be satisfied with Saber Wars."

"Hey, enough with the meta commentary!"

What a truly chaotic Assassin. Watching this from the side, Bunyan had already become Super Bunyan and shook her head.

First, homunculi and golems with Artorium on their heads approached from the surroundings. And then...

Crash!!!

They get utterly smashed. It's an obvious outcome if it's obvious. The recovery of Artorium and parts proceeds smoothly. By the way, in this event, surely...

"Explode, you normie!!!"

Yes, that guy shows up.

Edward Teach. And unrelatedly dragged along, Saber Gilles de Rais is also there.

"Ooh, I wandered around smelling treasure... And there was such a filthy harem protagonist here!!!"

"Haha."

"A somewhat ditzy-looking clumsy blonde beauty, a sexy gangster older sister, a delicate woman in kimono of the Yamato Nadeshiko type, a glasses-wearing high school girl, a legal loli dragon, and even a milf!"

Bam!!!!

"Who... are you calling a milf..."

And Teach gets sent flying after receiving a slap from Kiara. Kiara does look a bit older than her age. She's a beauty, but people evaluate her as being in her 30s... Whether that's a complex for her or not, if you mention that part unlike usual, she gets seriously angry.

"Grr, was I wrong... Anyway, multiple beauties! You filthy harem protagonist!"

Did he survive that? Is it gag buffs... Scary, the laws of the world!

"Ooh, I can't hold back my fist...!!! Even though it's impossible for some!"

"But you have a wife, you know."

"Wh-what are you talking about!? This humble one knows no such thing!"

He knows. In actual history, Edward Teach has one wife. And in FGO too, when topics about his wife come up, he pretends not to know. He might be an unexpectedly devoted man.

Of course, he might be sincerely envious...

"My enemy! You say something too!"

"Please send me home."

"My enemy also says normies must die!"

Gilles de Rais looks sincerely tired...

"That is why I cannot forgive you. Where did you get that hypnosis app!? Give one to this humble one too!"

"There's no such thing..."

"Lies! There must be! Otherwise, there's no way a harem would form around someone like you who has a passable face but seems to have no distinctive features!"

"This really hits the bone."

It's the truth. When you think about it, isn't Bond Level a kind of brainwashing system? Hmm, it certainly feels more that way since they're all women. Maybe I need a friend to get along with. Should I summon Man Bun-kun? He's Bond Level 7, and being a guy, he probably won't see me sexually. He's a true friend, right?

I'm scared Arash or Zhuge Liang might go down a BL route because their bond levels are high.

"Saying Master oppa has no personality! He's such a good and fun person!"

"That's right, Master is the best just by existing."

"It's really not a hypnosis app...? That's even stranger."

"I agree..."

Super Bunyan and Melusine's words aren't much of a defense... I think I'm an unappealing person too. If someone like me is the protagonist, it's just a mass-produced light novel.

"Come to think of it, it's really strange. The person enjoying a harem is more ordinary than expected. The face is quite handsome though..."

"Master is a charming person, right?"

"... Now that I look again, he is."

Under the pressure of Shiki speaking with a smile, X answered while sweating... Hmm.

"Since they're Servants, we have to defeat them. A regrettable matter, but so it is."

I thought we could talk about fandom stuff... Should I summon Okki later instead of Teach? Not for the next Servant, though.

Kwaaaaaaa!!!!

And then, Melusine immediately breathes fire at Teach, and Teach disappears. Pitiful... You were a true otaku.

"Finally free... Well then, excuse me."

And Gilles de Rais collapses his own spiritual power and leaves with an expression like 'Finally, time to clock out!'. But the Saint Quartz remained. Recovering two, we gathered three. Hmm, good. This time, let's summon a normal friend. I need a same-sex friend.

Beep beep.

"Ah, Humpty? A problem occurred at Chaldea... Isn't that your room?"

"Ah, someone caused a traffic accident. I'll handle it, so let Ritsuka's group rest. They must be tired from circling the gate's main circuit."

"Alright for now. Honestly, with you, I'm not worried..."

"Just leave it to me, lolicon maniac."

"I heard that! I'm not a lolicon!"

"Tch."

To hear that, your ears are really good.

I got Saint Quartz, so should I try summoning with this...

"Hey there~!!!"

At that moment, Nero suddenly appeared... I think she was in this event too... It's vague since it was long ago.

"We heard there is a ship that fell from the sky here! And as We are tired from the long journey, prepare to entertain Us!"

"Haha, making imperial proclamations without even knowing who you're dealing with... Red Saber, do you know this is enemy territory?"

"What are you talking about, Caster. Asking her to read the air now? Originally, if what fell is a spaceship, the opponent is an alien. Words won't get through. Against an incomprehensible opponent, pit an incomprehensible opponent against them. There's no return, but the risk is low. First, why not watch the skills of His Imperial Majesty?"

"The hopeless Extra Three Musketeers!"

Nero, Tamamo, Emiya... What a combination! It's them, who went to SERAPH and were caught by BB instead, appearing as enemies in the epilogue!

"Die, you red bastard!!!"

"Shiki."

Thwack!

"Guh...! Wh-why me... That red Saber must die! Look at that chest!"

"Is that the problem, X..."

What a guy full of ulterior motives. First, I need to deal with these hopeless three musketeers...

"No choice. Might as well summon My Friend."

Now, then let's immediately summon Man Bun-kun──

"I really can't stand it, die Saber!!!"

Wham!

"Hey, you──"

In the end, X went on a rampage, hit me, and ran off. I staggered and pressed the wrong thing...!

Whoosh!!!

"What, you called me?"

"... I called the wrong one. Give me a refund."

"That's too harsh to say in front of the person, Master."

Damn... It feels like trying to take Caster Artoria as support in a quest but accidentally bringing someone else...! I wanted to summon My Friend!

Damn, no refunds, huh... Still, for now, Nemo is a guy, and at Bond Level 7, he should be normal.

"First... I just need to defeat those guys in front, right?"

"Heh... Please."

Nemo nods and immediately deploys his Noble Phantasm. Nautilus. A ship that sails the sea or imaginary space, but regardless of location, temporarily, the sea appears from below like Geobah, and it surges up to crash into them. A truly brute-force Noble Phantasm.

"Farewell. {Great Ram Nautilus}(I Conquer, the Great Ram of the Nautilus)!!!"

Kwaaaaaang!!!!

And the three musketeers get roadkilled just like that.

"Why Us!!!"

"Today is also a failure~!"

"Why me!"

And so, the three became stars in the sky...

"Wait, then we can't get Saint Quartz!"

"Huh? Was that important? Then, if we launch and catch them, it should be fine. You there."

"Me?"

Nemo puts X into Nautilus's cannon just like that.

"Wa──"

"Launch!"

Boom!!!!

"Gyaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

Hmm, she flies well.

"How far is she flying?"

"About 5.5 km?"

Hmm... I feel a bit sorry. Still, I see a giant X-shaped light in the sky, and Saint Quartz comes in... doesn't come in. Is it because she's not my Servant...

"To waste Saint Quartz like this..."

"I told you I can make it if you want?"

"That's too much of a cheat, so no. There needs to be a sense of accomplishment!"

"Our Master is really too cautious."

... Should I just ask for it? For some reason, I feel gacha withdrawal symptoms coming on.

"..."

Nemo stares at me intently and offers his head. Hmm... Hmm...

I pat Nemo's head, and Nemo makes a satisfied expression. Kind of childish.

"Don't get the wrong idea. It's not me, it's the Marines inside me who wanted it. Hmph."

"Tsundere Nemo-kun, I see."

"... It's not that."

Hmm, cute.

"... Really, it's not... The Marines wanted it..."

Hmm... Somehow, I think I understand Mo-san's feelings. Of course, I'm strictly heterosexual. Cute is cute, that's all.
