Shoujo Grand Summoning

Chapter 1473: doubt, reason, pressure

Fuyuki city, a certain restaurant.

This is one of the best restaurants in town.

Only rich people and/or people with a significant background can dine here. Naturally, the meals here cost a pretty penny. A meal here costs about as much as a whole month’s grocery.

This restaurant is also open 24 hours a day so diners don’t have to worry about closing hours.

Someone booked the entire restaurant at about 1 am in the morning.

7 people dined while the restaurant workers toiled away in the kitchen.

Piping-hot dishes were served on a table that could comfortably sit dozens of people.

Soup made with a spiced whole chicken, meat cured with the finest herbs, vegetables with exorbitantly costly garnishes, and salted pies made with expensive freshwater fishes, it was a sight that would induce hunger in anyone.

The price tag of this full-course meal would make people doubt the capitalist system. A poor person might not even dare to touch any of the food.

The taste is also worth the price. Although the chefs here can’t be compared to a certain OP True Ancestor, the meals served here easily trounced other restaurants in the city.

Wu Yan, Hinagiku, Mikoto, Rin, Luvia, Illya, and Miyu were seated around the table. The two young girls also had weird flying ribbons. The metallic clangs of utensils hitting plates could be heard echoing in the dining room.

“Cheers!”

They clinked their cups together as if to celebrate a job well done.

They did a good job gathering all 7 cards. He booked this restaurant to reward Hinagiku and Mikoto for their contributions.

Rin & co were nearby so he invited them too. He needed their cards anyway.

However, somebody isn’t happy.

“Seriously…”

Rin grumbled with a cup in her hand.

“Why do we have to attend our rivals’ celebrations?!”

“You have a point.”

Luvia looked around.

“Beyond that, this is a good place. We should come here when we’re free.”

“I don’t have anything to say but…”

Illya raised her arm.

“This is the first time I am out so late. If my family found out then I am going to be in big trouble.”

Hinagiku and Mikoto also stopped.

“Yeah, we have two kids with us.”

“Is it fine to let them stay up so late?”

“Hmm…”

He scratched his cheek.

“Their guardians are here, it should be fine.”

“Miyu’s guardian is here.”

Illya weakly raised her arm.

“But my mum is at home.”

“Ara, Illya, don’t be like this.”

Ruby hovered over her.

“The night is a special and charming time for humans. Only when you understand the rousing nature of the night and its festivities will you truly climb the ladders of adulthood.”

“Ahaha…”

Illya awkwardly laughed.

“Funny words…”

“We have school tomorrow.”

Miyu explained.

“Personally, I don’t approve of wasting precious resting time.”

“Miyu-sama…”

Sapphire flew over.

“Need help with fatigue? I can cast fatigue-cancel magic.”

“Nah, let me help!”

Mikoto conjured sparks between her fingers.

“I always used this trick to stay up late in Tokiwadai. A jolt or two should keep you two energetic throughout the day.”

Mikoto suggested with a friendly smile.

“Come on, do you both want to try it out?”

Illya and Miyu looked at her electrified hand. The two girls shook their heads in fright as Mikoto inched ever closer.

“Sheesh.”

She pursed her lips.

“It’s effective.”

“That’s not the issue here.”

Hinagiku explained.

“Think about the risk.”

“Hahaha…”

Wu Yan laughed only to be silenced by a dagger-like leer from Mikoto.

Since they’re here, the two girls decided to dine like queens. After tasting the food, the two floated with satisfied looks.

Hinagiku and Mikoto also joined in on the fun.

“Hah…”

Rin grumbled again.

“Don’t get so chummy with one another, what if we need to start robbing cards?”

“Yeah, the cards…”

Luvia looked at Wu Yan.

“How did you keep Limited Include on?”

Rin was also curious.

The Noble Phantasms can only be materialized for a limited duration.

At most, one could keep the Noble Phantasms active for 1 minute.

Rin and Luvia experimented a lot so they knew what they were talking about.

Wu Yan kept Excalibur active longer than theoretically possible.

The amount of mana required for such a feat, including the mana needed for making a mock Magic Suit is unimaginable.

Maybe, they were using the Limited Include wrong?

Wu Yan can guess what they were thinking so he pursed his lips.

“Oh, it’s my skill.”

“A skill?”

He explained.

“You saw my Noble Phantasms. Those Phantasms were ordinary weapons initially.”

He opened his palms to reveal two sword insignias encircled by red lines.

“I can turn any weapon into my Noble Phantasms.”

“As long as I am holding it, even if it’s the Noble Phantasm of another Heroic Spirit, it will be under my control>”

“The Noble Phantasm, Excalibur is a weapon.”

He cut off the magic supply to Knight of Owner. He shook his head.

“But, since the Noble Phantasm is just a temporary magic manifestation of the true Noble Phantasm, I can only use it while supplying mana to it. Cut off this mana supply and the Noble Phantasm will be dispelled, keep the mana supply on and it will stay there.”

Rin and Luvia understood the conversation.

But, that raised more questions.

How did he come into possession of such skills? Where did he get his nigh-infinite mana?

What is up with that Magic-like white flames that could burn time?

The questions added up in their minds like plates and plates of unfinished food.

With all 7 Class cards collected, they are now about to become enemies.
