Chapter 21

Somewhere near the Outskirts of Fuyuki city, there was a strange portal opening near a part of the forest in that area. There is one man and woman is walkout the portal and the man said

"Great, water, wet, muddy and rainy, next time I have to make sure to bring an umbrella in cases like this" Garou complained after he walked out of the gate and what greeted him with Merlin was water, wet, mud, and rain, and now his and Merlin's clothes were soaking wet.

"Well, that couldn't be helped because we chose a random jump, here let me fix it, [Clean], [Waterproof]" Merlin say then she used a spell that she created by combining with what she learned from a tablet along with the many spells she created.

"Thanks, now that feels much better," Garou said thanks after Merlin used a spell to help clean mud and water that stained their clothes and another spell that created an invisible dome to prevent water from getting through.

"Your welcome, so what we do now huh," Merlin asked while she used her magic to analyze the composition and structure of the atmosphere here, as this was the first another world she came to and the Realm of the Death was not counted because no matter how hard she tried or how many times she still could not get results from the analysis when she lived there for many days and after asking Garou why she could not get good results when she tried to analyze the realm, the System says that everything in this world depends on what Garou wants or thinks so there is nothing to analyze because it will change over time.

"Let see which world we are in, I will decide later. What is the system of the world we are in? Huh" Garou said then he asked the System what world he was in

[Fate/stay night, locate the outskirts of Fuyuki city, the time before the fifth Holy Grail War began 34 days]

"Type moon world huh, not the bad world except the Magician or what they call Magus tend to be a crazy or heartless person and they also tend to commit many terrible crimes, but there is an exception because not all of them are bad, although most of them are bad guys" Garou spoke aloud to Merlin and explained a little about the world to her

"Therefore, this world also has mana flow in the air right" Merlin spoke while she focused on the holographic interface screen hovering in midair, that being created from magic and machines that connected to the machines in her space bracelet, the bracelet she got was given by Garou and after being given that space bracelet, the first thing she did was try to analyze and disassemble it if possible so she could research it.

"Yes, how do you know about that?" Garou wondered because he hadn't told her about that

"Based on the analysis I just scanned and based on that I discovered energy that looked like mana but that energy was very different from the mana of my world and within that energy, there were other factors, so I concluded that that energy is mana like from my world or maybe it's a degraded version of the mana I know," Merlin said while she used her magic to collect the energy in the air as she just said and put it into a test tube

"Well, what you just said is not entirely wrong because I'm not sure how much magic in this world works because each magic world has its way and works effectively in very different ways, in some worlds, magic can be very strong in that world, but when it comes to another world, that magic is very weak when compared to other world magic, and from what I know that magic in this world is very weak when comparing the magic of the world of you and the people here, they need something called a magic circuit inside their body so they can use magic and the number of magic circuits a person has is determined at birth and cannot be reduced or increased or that is what I read about" Garou say

"How weak it is"

"Let's say that from what I know, there are only 2 vampire and 5 people in the organization who call Clock Tower in this world or its parallel world can be called strong, but not all of these 5 people are strong because each of them possesses unique magic, for example, the Second Magic known as Zelretch or Kaleidoscope, the magic that the old man can move through parallel worlds, this world has its own parallel world so that the old man cannot come to another world like yours or my realm, and this world also has a thing called Servants or also known as Heroic Spirits and those heroic souls sometimes have an ability called Reality Marble and the Noble Phantasms, but I personally think you will be able to wipe out most of them in a fight because your magic is different from them, except for a few others that you cannot win yet and in my case, I can wipe out the Servants and almost every creature that belongs to this world or the parallel world, I think"

"That sound interesting, now I want to have some sample or information about what you call Reality Marble and the Noble Phantasms to research it," Merlin said with an interesting voice after hearing what Garou said

"Oh, now that you mention it, I think I know some scum have a lot of books on that subject, maybe we can come and borrow some from their corpses, let go this way," Garou said after he remembered about Shinji Matou and his grandfather Zouken Matou and pointed forward to the dirt road

"That great, but do you know where to find the scum you just said is it," Merlin asked because Garou sometimes tended to forget those things when he was planning something like when he was planning to try out his cooking but forgot about the necessary spices when he was actually doing it, resulting in a dish. It tastes good but the main reason it's delicious is the ingredients, not his cooking skill and because that Merlin has concluded that he only remembers or pays attention to the things that interest him but about other things he often ignores it or sometimes forgets about it

"...I don't know" Garou suddenly stop and simply said as if nothing

"I knew it, you forgot something basic or important again. So now, what else do you forget again huh, think before saying anything" Merlin facepalm after hearing what Garou said and say

"Let see…, Ah I forgot to ask the System how many Servants were summoned and whether Gaia and Alaya could feel my presence when I came to this world or not," Garou said and asked the System the most important thing he forgot to ask

"So you really forgot something and by the way, who is Gaia and Alaya" Merlin spoke after hearing Garou ask the System, then she heard the answer from the System

[Currently, only Archer, Lancer, Berserker and Caster are being summoned, and Gaia is the will of the Earth, the planet's intrinsic wish to survive and prosper while Alaya on the other hand, is the collective unconscious will of mankind to avoid extinction, and both cannot sense your presence when you come to this world because you are the highest form of being than the Root and you are also is the natural force that every world needs to exist, so no they cannot feel your presence and only feel your presence when you appear before them]

"It's good to hear that, because I don't want to meet those two yet, because I feel like meeting those two only makes me more trouble than I need to." Garou say because even when he was in the Nanatsu no Taizai world, he was able to see and feel the existence and consciousness of the planet and the sun of that world as he explored the power of himself, and he deliberately avoided meeting or communicating with both of them

"That new, hey Garou, does my world have anything like Gaia and Alaya or not"

"Yes it does, but I only see two consciousnesses that belong to the planet and the sun, but not anything like Alaya"

"So my world has such things and why don't you tell me anything about it," Merlin said in a reproachful voice because he didn't tell her that interesting thing

"I didn't tell you because I didn't think it was important, besides you were busy studying too," Garou said anything he could think of right now because the real reason he didn't tell her was that he thought too much trouble when she knows about that

"Hmm, indeed like what you said I was busy at the time too, so next time if you go meet something like that, please take me with you," Merlin said after she remembered that she was really busy at the time because she had to study science and magic at the same time and Learn a common language from tablets since Garou said he won't turn her into a goddess unless she's 25 years old, also she had to take time and teaching Garou about magic too

"Okay next time if I go to meet them, I'll take you with me, so now the System shows me the location of all summoned Servants and where the Matou family is." Garou says that to Merlin then he tells the System to display all Servant locations

[This is the position of all the Servants and there is a Servant near where you stand, it is only about 3 km follow the dirt road and the target is moving very slowly, there is a possibility that the target was injured or something like that] The system says that after it shows the location of all the summoned Servants in the Garou device worn on the right hand as the wristwatch and it looks like a green Omnitrix watch from the Ben 10 cartoons and inside the watch is the Mother Box from the DC comics and the watch is not capable of turning users into many alien types as in the watch in Ben 10, next to that watch is a supercomputer capable of helping Garou in whatever he needs in everyday life like hacking a computer when Merlin isn't there to do it and now day Merlin is capable of hacking most computers from the world except those from the DC world that belong to Lut Luthor or Batman or someone special in science and technology in the world like that.

"Hurry up Merlin and since that Servant is likely to be injured before the Holy Grail War even began, something interesting might have happened there"

"Alright, wait a minute, let me put the test tube back first," Merlin said as she began putting the 5 test tubes back into her space bracelet

"Done, let go" Merlin said

After that, the two were going to the Servant's location, and while going there, the two came across Souichirou Kuzuki on their way to the Servant, at the first time when both sides meet and both sides don't say a thing, it's just a simple nod as a greeting and kept going, after walking for a while, Souichirou Kuzuki suddenly changed direction as they passed the crossroads.

After a few minutes when Souichirou Kuzuki took a separate route, Garou and Merlin finally found the Servant they were looking for, and they could see a woman wearing a hooded bluish-purple robe with bloodstains on it as she looked exhausted lying on the ground with rain, mud, and blood on her cloak and body

"Shit…. So that's what happened, no wonder why I felt this scene and the meeting with Souichirou Kuzuki looked so familiar as if I had met or seen somewhere" Garou muttered after seeing Caster lying on the ground with rain, mud, and blood on her cloak and bodies like the scene he had been reading or watching long ago in manga or anime, and it looks like because he and Merlin met Souichirou Kuzuki, which created the Butterfly effect, so in this timeline, Souichirou Kuzuki chose to take a different route instead of the road one causing him to meet Caster and become Caster master
