Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

118. Standing on the sky

Again.

Star Gods are different from Star Spirits. As long as they are not fighting on the planet they conceptually represent, although the Star Gods who log in from other places are powerful, they are only 'powerful' among conventional existences.

In the final analysis, the so-called Star God is nothing but something similar in nature to the "Ultimate Star Life Form (UO)" created by human beings using the power of culture and order.

Although it is not completely accurate, to most civilizations, Lu Mingze is indeed similar to the highest-ranking star spirit.

The experimental 'Nameless Saturn Celestial Spirit' produced by Kirshtalia - due to the influence of Lu Mingfei's subconscious mind, got the 'real name' of 'Tokisaki Kurumi' at this time - I really can't get enough of Lu Mingze who was firing at full strength.

What's more, Kirshtalia has no way of knowing how living beings like him (them) give birth to offspring. In other words, he doesn't even know that this 'nameless Saturn star spirit' is the way to go. Mingfei's children were just doing experiments.

The magicians in this world all look like this, whether it is this world line or other world lines, whether it is this planet or other planets.

To put it bluntly, it just annoyed the little devil.

That's why he didn't want to worry about anyone being burned.

Whether it was destruction or recasting, he was tired of seeing this type of cycle on countless planets.

☆

The matter has come to an end for now.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the report he had just written in his hand. After a headache, all the helplessness in his heart turned into a sigh.

To what extent does Kirshtalia know the truth about what happened in this singularity in London?

Android No. 2—he will be called Kurumi Tokisaki from now on.

Tokisaki Kurumi has been successfully brought back by Shutoku Mai's team. According to their description, when they saw Tokisaki Kurumi, there was also the 'devil Lu Narusawa' mentioned many times in Lu Mingfei's records beside her. ', the two sides fought, and Tokisaki Kurumi was defeated. Then the devil disappeared, and they just picked up Kurumi and brought Kurumi back.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was too lazy to complain about the unclear contents of the report they gave her.

At least the result here was good. Although Kuang San basically lost her power and fell into a coma from which she didn't know when she would wake up, the fragments of the Holy Grail that she had separated from her body were still there.

"I don't know how long I can delay it. No, it wouldn't be surprising even if I can't delay it anymore."

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed for an unknown number of times.

She knew very well that the endgame of the London Singularity was at its last resort. The ivory tower she had built herself using the knowledge given by the Demon King was already in dilapidated condition, to the point where it might collapse with just one final kick.

Although it wouldn't have taken too long in the first place, and was essentially just an 'endgame' delaying the arrival of the real final battle at the London Singularity, Kirshtalia's tossing like this undoubtedly greatly accelerated the process.

wrong.

Also accelerating this process is Kong Ming.

Fujimaru Ritsuka counted with his fingers.

"Of the three fragments that were separated, Kurumi's part was recovered, Yoshino's part was snatched away by Kirshtalia, and Tohka's part was given to Gaia by Kirshtalia. Know the jinchūriki."

It is not difficult to imagine how Mikazuki would react after he told her about this situation.

Crescent Moon's spirit was still cornered by Kirshtalia.

Did he do it unintentionally? Or did you do it on purpose because you knew it would happen? It makes sense no matter how you think about it. After all, Kirshtalia must be on the side of protecting Chaldea.

You have to find a way to appease or fool them first. But Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't deceive Mikazuki.

Because this is the content of her deal with the Demon King and the King of Singularity (Wild Hunt) in London.

That is to say.

"It's almost time to reach the final step. Let's try our best one last time."

Thinking of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka contacted Lu Mingfei, who had just returned and was overeating to replenish his strength.

"Senior Brother Lu, I'm sorry I don't have time for you to rest. I'll give you a task to comfort San Riyue."

Lu Mingfei, who still had a big chicken leg stuffed in his mouth, was stunned for a moment, spit out the chicken bones and asked, "What do you mean? Why do you say this suddenly?"

"Literally speaking, to be honest, I don't know how to appease Mikazuki, so I can only act as a doctor. You can do a charm test on her in the past. If you succeed, you may be able to delay it for a while. , otherwise Cinderella’s magic will really end.”

Lu Mingfei picked up the miso soup next to him, swallowed all the tofu cubes, kelp, and fish in it, and burped, trying to express his dissatisfaction in this way:

"My eldest lady, can you speak human language? Or do you think I can understand it?"

"It's said that a dead horse is a living horse doctor."

"Then I have to know what to do! Didn't you all say that I have a lot of experience in picking up girls? On the other hand, why don't you say that I'm not good at picking up girls at all?"

"Then don't think so much, just go over and give her a hug, a kiss or something, maybe it will be done?"

".Fine."

Lu Mingfei put down his bowl and chopsticks speechlessly.

"I'm used to the messy orders you give me. Tell me, where is she? I'll try to give her a hug, and then tell her that I will definitely rescue Yoshino and see if it helps."

"Then I'll trouble you. Just in case, I have to make preparations. Mikazuki is on the deck of the spaceship now. This position is perfect for deployment."

After saying this, Fujimaru Ritsuka hung up the communication.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, didn't think too much, and just walked to the deck. This kind of messy orders didn't matter so far. Lu Mingfei had long been used to it. He was a person who just went with the flow.

Besides, isn’t the purpose of our Chaldean Guild just to trust our companions?

On the passage leading to the spacecraft deck, Lu Mingfei saw the sneaky Olga Marie.

Are you in this position worried about Mikazuki's mental state after learning that her sister failed to be rescued?

Lu Mingfei stopped for a moment.

"."

[Should you take Olga Marie with you to appease Mikazuki? 】

[1. Bring it (success rate -20 correction)]

[2. Forget it, go alone]

【1D2=1】

Wouldn't it be nice to bring Olga Marie with me?

Lu Mingfei was so elusive, but then he thought about it. Didn't Mikazuki himself say before that he was willing to reconcile with Olga Marie, and he also said that he knew very well that Olga Marie was right, and she was just venting her anger - -Is not it?

So, Lu Mingfei decided to explain his purpose to Olga Marie.

Olga Marie's face was full of worry: "Before, I saw her coming out of the room where Android 2 was resting, and she seemed to have taken something. I always felt that the atmosphere around her was not right. ."

At this moment, all Chaldean members received a notification saying that the spacecraft was about to be involved in a high-altitude turbulence and might be disrupted. All members were asked to find someone nearby to hold on to. Everyone on the deck is asked to return to the ship quickly.

There were not many Chaldean members to begin with. In fact, there was only a crescent moon on the deck now.

Because of the angle, Lu Mingfei and Olga Marie could only see her back. She was standing at the edge of the deck, wondering what to think. Her posture made people wonder if she wanted to jump.

Even though the radio was already warning, Mikazuki still had no intention of taking action.

But for her, even if she really falls like this, it should be okay, right?

Lu Mingfei thought about it and decided to trust Fujimaru Ritsuka one more time. He boarded the deck of the spacecraft and planned to say something to comfort Mikazuki, who was obviously not in the right mental state at this time.

Olga Marie hesitated and quietly followed behind.

Say something, say something. What can you say to appease the current Mikazuki?

Lu Mingfei fell into thinking.

[Soothing Difficulty: 65]

[Lu Mingfei’s ‘Charm’: 1D100-20=2-20=-18]

[Speaking of what the punishment for failure in charm is usually (ask group friends)]

--Sudden

Lu Mingfei suddenly had this thought in his mind, "Speaking of which, Mikazuki is worried about Yoshino being captured by Kirshtalia, right?"

That being the case.

"Sanming, you are worried about this and that. Don't worry. In fact, Boss Wodem is really not an evil magician, and Yoshino is not a bad person. He will definitely not hurt--"

Lu Mingfei could not continue speaking.

In an instant, a certain aura in Sanriyue's entire body changed.

She seemed to hear Lu Mingfei's voice and turned her head. Then, Lu Mingfei saw the figure of San Riyue, whom she had never seen before.

Speaking of which, after the fairy tale world was covered by Kirshtalia, Mikazuki's mood changed very obviously. She was originally unreasonably proud and smiling, but she became more and more irritable and rude, and even As it is now, it looks like a flower that is swaying in the rain and may be broken at any time.

"Feel sorry."

Vulnerable, timid, and sad.

This was the first time Lu Mingfei saw such emotion on San Riyue's face.

"I can't hold on anymore."

Is it an illusion?

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that he seemed to hear the sound of a bell, like the bell in Western cities that tells residents that the hour is up.

It was like ringing the bell at the prince's ball, telling Cinderella, who had transformed into a princess with the magic of the fairy godmother and came to the stage, that the time had come.

Cinderella's magic has ended.

——What is Cinderella’s magic?

Leonardo da Vinci held a special class to tell Lu Mingfei.

The core of Cinderella's magic - 'Cinderella magic' is 'transformation'.

Through mysterious power, a time limit is imposed, allowing the person being cast to change into another posture.

An ordinary girl can become a princess.

Low-level spirits can temporarily assume more powerful forms.

--but

There is a problem here.

When it comes to this type of transformation, most people, including Lu Mingfei, will subconsciously feel that the effect of this trick is to allow the user to gain power beyond their own limits in a short period of time, which is a kind of 'strengthening'. Transfiguration'.

However, in fact, the spell based on the core concept of Cinderella magic has no such restrictions.

Transformation is more than just becoming stronger.

It can also become weaker.

To put it bluntly, although it is always used to form spells that enhance transformation effects, the essence of 'Cinderella' is actually 'Faker'.

Disguise yourself.

So that no one can recognize the true appearance of Cinderella (the pretender).

But there is a time limit.

No matter how it continues, even if the Holy Grail is used, Cinderella's magic will eventually end.

In terms of results, the Cinderella magic applied to Mikazuki is actually more like a seal than a disguise, right?

Let a certain terrifying existence fall into an endless fantasy. It is a fairy tale world where you can temporarily abandon the cruel reality and enjoy the fun in the beautiful 'story'.

I see.

No wonder Mikazuki's entire personality changed after Kirshtalia flipped the table.

Rather than saying that it has changed, it is better to say that the original "optimistic, cheerful, and confident" disguise can no longer continue.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that Goblin King Oberon has mentioned similar warnings before.

Lu Mingfei stared at the crescent moon.

The girl who is about to lose all her beautiful disguises and transform (return) to her true appearance.

Which side is true and which side is false?

Or, in the gap between reality and illusion, what Lu Mingfei saw was the girl's essence?

Tears were blown away by the raging hurricane.

The appearance at that moment made Lu Mingfei's heart tighten inexplicably. Like a moth attracted by the candlelight, he subconsciously reached out to her.

It was as if he was attracted by something beautiful, or as if he wanted to recover something that was about to be lost from his hands.

However

"Lu Mingfei!?"

Olga Marie's horrified voice woke up Lu Mingfei. She grabbed Lu Mingfei's waist and hugged her tightly, preventing Lu Mingfei from taking another step forward.

Immediately afterwards, a huge mechanical tail suddenly passed by, splitting part of the deck in front of Lu Ming into two.

The sneak attack missed.

The humanoid machine that suddenly appeared retracted its tail.

In the hands of the demon-like mechanical monster, which was constantly overflowing with red and black filthy magic power, it held a girl that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Lu Mingfei.

"In the final analysis, magicians are not trustworthy. The boring house drama should have come to an end long ago."

crescent moon.?

"I knew this a long time ago"

The tears were wiped away by her as if disgusted.

"The throne of Albion has been vacant long enough."

The extremely rich magic power overflowed through the long white hair, and the pupils turned as scarlet as blood. The messy and flying long hair could not cover the soul-catching eyes.

"It's time (it can't be maintained) and I will return to the sky."

Then, with overwhelming magic power fluctuations, a substantial beam of light rose into the sky, and the entire Chaldean spacecraft was penetrated from the middle. The mechanical demon god guarding the 'real crescent moon', accompanied by the contractor (pilot) )'s call, showing his true posture.

As the 'true ruler of the singularity', Mikazuki yelled out the true name of the demon machine controlled by him.

"——[Barbatos]!!"

The next moment, a spiritual base that was too huge to be accurately described in words was revealed.

The entire solar system is shocked!

——to be continued!

As I said before, who the final BOSS this time is is not an open-book question at all, but the answer is written on his face from the beginning ()

Lu’s big failure penalty at this time can be regarded as accelerating the process of ending the ‘transformation’ effect.
