Chapter 576: Chapter 562: Eh? El-Melloi II? I Wouldn’t Even Dare Dream of That in Broad Daylight!

[ And so it began: Miyu’s entire demeanor shifted into something strange. No matter where Illya went within the school grounds, Miyu would inevitably be there, clinging tightly to Illya’s arm, refusing to leave her side for even a single step.

What was most egregious was that she didn’t even restrain herself in class; she would openly and brazenly rest her head upon Illya’s shoulder, a sight that left their classmates staring in dumbfounded silence.

Even the doujin artist Suzuka was filled with awe: "How should I put this... I really don’t understand your relationship anymore."

Illya could only offer an awkward, apologetic smile... To be honest, she was completely baffled by Miyu’s sudden transformation.

"Since Miyu-chan has become so dere, let’s all get along from now on!" Tatsuko, boisterous as ever, reached out to pat Miyu on the head.

Smack—

Miyu raised her hand and swatted Tatsuko’s away, her expression utterly cold. "Why should I get along with you? My only friend is Illya!"

This left the group stunned. Tatsuko, feeling wronged, had tears swirling in her eyes before she burst into loud sobbing.

"Hey, Miyu!" Illya hurriedly pulled Miyu aside. That was going a bit too far!

"Why are you angry?" Miyu looked at Illya with eyes of unparalleled purity. "I only need Illya as a friend for my entire life. Everyone else is irrelevant." ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Only one for an entire life... That’s not a friend, that’s a spouse, dammit! Miyu-chan, turns out you’re the one with the biggest issues."

Hearing Miyu’s outrageous declaration, which sounded suspiciously like a confession of love, the audience outside the video felt their minds scattering in the wind, as if they could already smell the fragrance of blooming lilies from their hometown.

"What... exactly have you been teaching her!?"

In a deep, quiet dungeon, Angelica, watching this scene unfold, couldn’t help but seek out Emiya—the Great Hero—with questions burning in her mind.

"If I said she was self-taught, would you believe me?"

A trace of uncertainty flickered in the Great Hero Emiya’s eyes as he probed carefully.

Angelica pursed her lips slightly, casting an expressionless glance at the guilty-looking Shirou Emiya.

"Heh, she really is a genius then..."

"Y-Yeah..."

The Great Hero Emiya was suffering in silence.

I want to know where Miyu learned all this too!

He had taught her some common sense, but only common sense! He wasn’t insane enough to teach romantic entanglements to an elementary school-aged Miyu! And Miyu-chan, Tatsuko, and the others are willing to be your friends, so why refuse them? Having only one ’friend’ for a lifetime is way too heavy!

Thinking of this, the Great Hero Emiya felt terrible. If he had known, he would have been more specific with his wish back then...

Onii-chan wanted you to find friends you could laugh with, not find a ’wife’ to spend the rest of your life with at this age!

.....

[ The scene then shifted. Just after school let out, Miyu and Illya had barely reached the street corner when two sinful hands reached out and yanked them directly into a high-end black sedan.

Leaving several elementary schoolers staring dumbfounded at the speeding luxury car... Was that a kidnapping? A brazen, daylight kidnapping?

"Rin-oneesan, Luvia-san?" Inside the car, Illya finally got a clear look at their captors.

Tohsaka Rin and Luvia sat with arms crossed, staring at them with utter seriousness. "Sorry to disturb you so suddenly, but we have a job." ]

[ ..... ]

?Projection of All Worlds?

"I have to say, the braking system on that car is excellent... to stop like that!"

"Speaking of which, why are you two Magical Aunties so skilled at kidnapping techniques!?"

The audience looked speechlessly at the reappearance of these two Magical Aunties.

What kind of black company is this... A project just ended, and they’re already making two elementary schoolers work again!

They’re just in elementary school, yet you’ve saved them ten years of detours and ushered them straight into the life of corporate cattle. Could you be any more capitalist?

.....

[ Subsequently, Tohsaka Rin explained the cause of the situation...

The reason was a piece of bad news from Lord El-Melloi II, Waver, far away in London: "Although the cards causing the leyline chaos have been recovered by you..."

"It has been over two weeks since then, yet the leyline has not returned to normal."

Hearing this, Tohsaka Rin, who had been busy working part-time as a maid at Luvia’s house to earn money, felt a pang of guilt. "The passage to the Imaginary Number Domain has been closed; it should recover naturally."

El-Melloi II, who had long known these two were unreliable, had already guessed the reason and began directing them over the phone: "Try injecting highly concentrated mana from the Dragon Cave to expand the leylines."

Hearing ’highly concentrated mana,’ Rin was momentarily stunned and hurriedly asked, "Doesn’t something like that require a grand ritual on the scale of dozens of people!?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Although El-Melloi II was far away in London, he still gave the impression of having everything under control. "Didn’t I bestow the staffs upon you!?"

"Although there are indecent spirits attached to them, they are special Mystic Codes capable of providing infinite mana! In short, you can do it, right!?"

"Of course we can!" The guilty Tohsaka Rin agreed without a second thought. She simply couldn’t bring herself to admit that the staff had unilaterally fired them. ]

[ ..... ]

?Projection of All Worlds?

"So you also know that magic staff is indecent!"

Hearing the ins and outs of the matter, everyone couldn’t help but sigh at the calamity-prone Fuyuki City... Can gas explosions really cover all of this up?

.....

?Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline?

"Is that me? ...My other-world self became one of the twelve Lords of the Clock Tower?"

Waver was dumbfounded; he wouldn’t dare dream of such a thing.

The modern magi present all looked strangely at Waver, who was hiding behind the King of Conquerors... They knew perfectly well what the title of ’Lord’ signified.

Seeing the timid boy before them, and contrasting him with the dignified Lord on the screen, Tohsaka Tokiomi and the others were frightened by his astonishing growth...

And as Waver’s teacher, Kayneth was stunned into silence. He knew his student’s character well.

Low magical aptitude, extremely great pride but simultaneously crippled by inferiority—that’s why it made no sense!

"And the title El-Melloi II? So... I’m dead?"

Kayneth muttered.

That his timid student would, over a decade later, be valued by the legendary Wizard Marshall Zelretch gave him a feeling of unreality.

"Kongming? You’re working overtime again?"

The great hero Arash looked at Kongming sitting beside him with a strange expression. Just how many jobs are you working!?

"Let’s not point fingers at each other..."

Kongming sat on the sofa, face full of exhaustion, enjoying a rare afternoon tea time.

As if a sore spot had been touched, the great hero was rendered speechless, falling into silence alongside Merlin.

"Sigh..." x3.

The three model workers gathered together and let out a deep sigh. Better save some energy; they’d be working overtime again soon.

.....

[ Upon learning they had a mission, Illya suddenly asked, "Um, Rin-oneesan, Luvia-oneesan, what happened to the cards we collected?"

"We have them on us. Luvia and I split them half-and-half..."

Illya didn’t believe this excuse for a second. "Last time, you two seemed to be fighting over the cards..."

She had never seen these two get along. Every day was either an argument or on the way to an argument; how could they possibly share credit amicably!

Magical Ruby revealed the truth directly: "Exactly~ Before this, they even deployed a helicopter for an ugly battle of dominance."

"Ohoho~ What are you talking about? Isn’t that right, Tohsaka Rin!" Luvia let out a classic ojousama laugh, pretending not to understand.

Tohsaka Rin also became incredibly elegant in that moment. "Yes, we are Japanese people who value harmony above all."

Magical Sapphire dismantled their ugly masks instantly: "Simply put, the Mage’s Association demanded that they are not allowed to return until they learn the spirit of cooperation."

With their cover blown, the two stopped pretending. Right in front of the two little girls, they grabbed each other’s hair and began accusing the other of being at fault! ]

[ ..... ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"As expected of the nuclear-peaceful Fuyuki City. What a great way to value ’harmony’..."

"Hahaha, two people who smashed a helicopter to grab cards actually claim to value harmony!"

Watching the two washed-up Magical Aunties engage in an ugly brawl in front of elementary schoolers, the audience outside the video couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Lie to others if you want, but don’t lie to yourselves. As if you two could ever be ’friendly’!

.....

?A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City?

"Why does that laugh sound so familiar..."

Hearing Luvia’s laugh, Misaka Mikoto suddenly felt a wave of discomfort. It reminded her of an old acquaintance.

So, do all rich young ladies laugh like that?

Kuroko suddenly spotted the key point:

"By the way, with 7 cards, how did they manage to split them amicably?"

After all, given their personalities, neither would be happy if the other got one more card. Did they split one into 3.5 cards each?

"I don’t know. I only know that these two people who ’value harmony’ blew up a helicopter fighting over them,"

Mikoto retorted speechlessly.

?Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline?

"Even at a time like this, stop fighting... Elegance... You must be elegant!"

Tohsaka Tokiomi watched the shameful scene of his daughter and sighed deeply.

It’s all my fault. I feel like keeping Tohsaka Rin elegant is impossible in this lifetime. She tore apart a helicopter; what else can be done?

They’ve even resorted to hair-pulling like children; there’s no saving them... These two noble ladies have completely reverted to their primal ’ape’ forms.
