Chapter 43
We are currently on a train to Mifune city. Right now I am making plans for the grail war, it's fourteen servant along with the two overseers, sixteen servants in total. I need to figure out the teams and how to manage it.
I think the best way to do this is to create a texture over Fuyuki that the fighting will take place on, that was the servant's can go all out without any collateral damage. As for the teams, team Fuyuki will consist of myself, Sakura and Ilya as a guarantee, maybe Rin, that's four. Maybe Tiamat, that's five, who else, Miyu, no, when I talked about it she said she wanted nothing to do with it.
"Hay, what are you thinking about"
I pulled from my thoughts by Arcueid.
"Grail war"
"You mean the holy grail war. I heard about that, is one coming up"
"Yep, five years. It's going to be a great holy grail war, fourteen servant's, two teams of seven facing off against each other, under the management of a ruler class servant assisted by an avenger"
"That's different from what I heard"
"Yep, I modified the grail a bit. Right now I'm trying to chose who's going to be on my team"
After saying my piece, I look towards the girls. Just like that, I have an epiphany.
"Hay, I have decided, as compensation for all the trouble you two have an will cause me. You two will be on my team for the grail war"
"What"
"Not interested"
"Fou... Foufou fou"
I get three different reactions. Arcueid looks at me shocked, but that quickly changes to acknowledgement and determination. Altrouge looks at me annoyed and disinterested. Fou at first looks offended at me not choosing him, before quickly changing to a look of determination, before jumping up on two legs, putting one paw across his chest and raising his other waving at me. It looks adorable.
"I'll be counting on you Fou"
"Foufoufou"
Taking Fou from Altrouge, I put him on my lap and start petting him. So team Fuyuki is done. There's Me, Sakura, Ilya, Rin, Tiamat, Arcueid and Altrouge. That is one damn powerful team. I better go and meet up with Barthomeloi and tell her to make preparations for her moonlit team. Not clocktower, moonlit. I'm sending the invitation out to the whole moonlit world, I'll give her the final pick for her team.
So, teams are sorted, battlefield is sorted, catalysts are a work on progress.what else can make this grail war epic. How about live streaming it. Perfect, I'll force the moonlit world to get a computer if they want to watch it, that will be the ultimate F.U. to them.
Now, how to ensure that all fights talked place on the battle texture. I know, I can edit the modern world texture on Fuyuki to weaken servant's, while strengthening them on the battle texture. Where as Ruler and avenger will be empowered no matter where they are.
Ok. Grail war is good to go. I'll start setting everything up when I get back.
After another hour on the train we finally reach our destination. Mifune city, Grabbing our bag I first head towards the hotel I booked this morning.
"So, Where are we going this time. Who has this package, based on the last trip, I'm betting it's some powerful mage"
"Come on Altrouge, it's not nice to say thing like that"
Yep that confirms it, something will happen.
"First, we're going to the hotel. We need to drop off our stuff. After that I'll call them and let them know we're here. well see what they say and pop bye ether tonight or tomorrow"
""Okay""
After about ten minutes we get to our hotel, after getting our keys we head up to the room. A nice three bedroom hotel room, a dining and living room in one, three bathrooms and a small kitchen with the necessities.
"This is a nice room. I call that room. You girls can chose your own"
"I'll take that one then"
"Then I'll take this one"
"Hay Nicholas"
"Yes Arcueid"
"What about the apostle girl"
"You mean the apostle girls you invited to join us without telling me. She can sleep with one of you of on the couch"
"That's not nice"
"Look, I didn't know about her when I booked the room and it would be another fee to change the booking. When she get here then we'll deal with her"
"Ok, in that case I'll call her now"
With that Arcueid picks up the hotel phone and makes a call. Ignoring that I go to my room an put my stuff down. I have booked the room for three days, so I decide to hang up a few thing.
After sorting out my room I head out to the main room. There I see Arcueid and Altrouge sitting down on front of the TV. There's a sight for you two true ancestors, watching TV, joined my the strongest beast of Gaia.
Looking out side I see the sky is dark and the moon is out, I then look at the time, it's 6:45. Time to go out and get some dinner.
"Hay Arcueid, Altrouge, Fou, what do you three want for dinner, anything specific"
"You"
"Beef sound good"
"Fou"
"First, no, Second, sure, and third, sorry Fou I have no idea what you said"
"Foufoufou"
"He said he want meat"
"Then sure, let's go"
After leaving the hotel we walk through the streets looking for a nice barbecue restaurant.
"Hay I have been meaning to ask but. What is that girls name, and why do you two care. I get she must be special for you two to take notice but it can't be that much, can it"
"For starters, after she was bitten, she just straight up jumped to the vampire stage. You see when someone is bitten they can follow two paths. The most common path is a dead servant, they body and souls die and they are just puppets for their master.
The second path is if the human had a high physical potential of soul potential, they become a ghoul rather then a dead. For a group after years of development and growth they can reach the vampire stage. At this stage they regain all the memories, and personality of when they were human. They are still servant's to the parent who bit them however they can create their own servant's as well.
Now the girl Satsuki Yumizuka, is an extremely rare case. She is a person born with a special idiosyncracy to become a Dead Apostle. This is so rare that there are only 27 to 30 individuals in the whole World who possesses it. This allows her in instantly jump to the vampire stage rather then turn into a ghoul. Not only that she instantly developed a reality marble. From what we gathered while we were with her it's called 'Depletion Garden', It's a reality marble that allows her to drain all mana from the area, this essentially make her an extremely power anti-mage. Afterall there's nothing they can sonic their no mana to use magecraft"
"Shit. No wonder you didn't kill her"
"Yep. However it's not like we could leave her there ether, so that why we brought her with us"
While we're walking I vaguely hear something from a girl who just walked passed, she's wearing a high school uniform, it looks dirty and tattered. She also limping while muttering something I can barely hear.
"It hurts, so painful, make it stop"
Looking back at her, I recognise her. So that's why this city seemed familiar, that girl is Asagami Fujino, the weilder of the mystic eyes of distortion. One of the most OP badass mystic eyes in existence, I'm actually jealous, imagine how cool would it be to make space and objects distort with just a look.
Ignoring that, this mean I'm at the location of garden of sinner's.
Ten thousand yen says that the person I have to pick up my package from is Touko Aozaki. Who am I kidding of course it's her.
