“Nooooo.” Pandora whined. “Don’t go!” She grabbed onto my shirt with a pitiful look on her face.

It made me feel bad seeing her like this. “It’s not like I won’t ever come back.” I reassured her.

“Waaa, I never get people visiting me.” Pandora pouted. “You’re the first one to even call me mom! Atleast stay for a few more hours, you only stopped by for a couple minutes!”

“I just wanted to see you before I go on a little adventure.” I smiled wry...

Chapter 212

“What do you mean ‘adopted you’?” Scáthach questioned, Raikou listened with rapt attention.

“Just exactly as it sounds.” I replied. “Apparently, she adopts all the Campione and takes them as her Step-Children. For some reason, they don’t really remember her all that much due to the process. She was very nice to me so I wanted to say goodbye before we left.”

“Master…..” Raikou quietly tugged on my sleeve.

“Hey.” I realized I touched on something s...

Chapter 211

I walked through the portal peering at my surroundings. Much had change in this little park area since I last left it. There were many people running around doing various things, but they all seemed to be keeping their distance from Raikou and Scáthach.

I didn’t dwell on it as my attention was focused solely on the two.

They sat at a table, calmly glancing up while sipping tea from very fine silverware. Honestly, it was surprisingly elegant for where they were sitting.

Chapter 210

I felt myself be pulled away. A thought occurred to stop it, to see if I could force it to stop, but I pushed it down. While my academic mind was reeling at all this new information to play with, I needed to get back to my body.

It was disorientating, having my consciousness pulled and pushed through the barrier between realms then suddenly pushed back into my body. Opening my eyes had been a huge sensory overload once I was ‘physical’ again.

I began coughing up water, my thro...

Chapter 209

I felt strange, my eyes were heavy and I was having hard time opening them. However, I could still vaguely feel things around me, and hear what was happening.

“Why are you even here? Get out, get out!” A women’s voice sounded right by me.

“Don’t be like that Pandora-chan~” It took me a moment to recognize the second voice.

Forcibly, my eyes shot open once I realized who it belonged to. I shot up and jumped back, sweeping my hand for my sword…..only to find myse...

Chapter 208

Raikou POV

That son of mine……always doing such things.

I should prepare to assist should the situation call for it. Student and teacher so alike that they would jump into a potential fight with nothing more than a whim. Was he being considerate in not dragging me into the fight? I had expressed my desire not to wield arms if I was not required to and now he ran off by himself once more.

However, I am glad he trusts me enough to hold onto such an artifact of power.

Chapter 207

Watching Susanoo’s surprised expression as the invisible force ripped apart the space between us and flung him back into his house, it certainly brought a smile to my face.

The shabby walls that supported it were utterly demolished and everything collapsed onto itself.

Though I couldn’t admire my handy work much longer.

“Reinforcement. Ebony Flesh. Lightning Armor.” I threw out my main enhancement abilities.

Reinforcement filled my body, filling in the gaps and...

Chapter 206

“Why do you have my mother’s blessing?”

I honestly did not have a good answer for that question judging on who I was guessing this person was. I mean….I had a reasonable answer, but how he took it was a crapshoot. With a thought, I returned my sword to my ring.

I took a moment to notice the strange sensations around me. The world, this place I had walked into, it felt like it was trying to constrict me. I could ignore it with minimal effort, but it was something to note. 2022-07-15 05:29:33 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 205

There were no more declarations of intent behind either of their words. No more boasting or verbal jabs as the area got deathly silent. Only the soft steps of Scáthach walking through the grass below.

Athena, for the first time, appeared hesitant. The absolute confidence she spoke of a moment ago was all but gone as a slight paleness appeared on her face.

Scáthach wasn’t someone to let their power, their aura, burst out every moment. She is a warrior that relishes in bloodlust...

Chapter 204.

Quick Author's note. 

I usually take Wednesdays off, but I'm switching it to Tuesday this week. So no chapter tomorrow because I have to take my mom to the airport.

“Are you disappointed?” I asked Scáthach as we walked down the street. No real destination in mind, but just idly spending some time together.

“Disappointed?” She repeated. “I do not know what I expected when I heard about him. Perhaps the other ‘Campiones’ are different, but looking...

Chapter 203

Scáthach POV

“So this is the country that both you and Wilhelm grew up in.” I admired the view as I watch people walk down the streets.

“Yes.” My student’s Servant responded. “Though it looks too foreign for me to recognize.”

“The passing of the years changes everything.” I said quietly. “I am hesitant to approach my own homeland, I wonder if I would even think of it as the same. Would the island I grew up on be nothing but dirt in the centuries I had be...

Chapter 202

“How dare you touch my lord!.” The Blonde shouted. “Who are you!? Where did you come from! Which organization do you belong to!?”

“I know your mouth moved, but all I heard was screeching.” I replied.

“How dare you! I will teach you some manners.” She held her hand up and I could feel the Magical Energy gather in large quantities. A large, red, Magic Circle appeared in the air.

I could tell she was about to do something, but I instead took out a Talisman and t...

Chapter 201

“Huh, she has tarot cards.” As I searched through the rows of books, I found the stack sitting on the shelf.

Scáthach, who had a couple books in her hands, turning to look at me in interest. “The Grail had given me knowledge of such a thing. A method of scrying the future, if rather obscure. Perhaps they work?”

I shrugged, flipping through a few. They were made of a strange parchment and the ink felt…..heavy. “Well, probably not best for me to meddle considering our�...

Chapter 200

The feeling of waking up with your arms around someone you cared for. It was something I would never tire off and it seemed to remove any kind of fatigue I built up over the past several days. There was also something to be said about having two girls in my arms rather than one.

“Am I the last one to wake up?” I muttered, eyes still groggily open.

“Master looked so peaceful.” I heard Raikou’s soft voice on my left. “We didn’t want to disturb you.”

“You work...

Chapter 199 ***Lewd Included***

Lucretia Zola stared at me for what felt like forever. Her eyes barring down intently on my every feature, as if scanning me for any kind of deceit. The only time her gaze left me was to flicker down at the letter she had previously haphazardly tossed to the side.

“Child, come here.” She finally spoke, holding her hands out towards me.

I hesitantly walked forward letting her palms rest on my cheeks as she inspected me closer.

“You look nothing like Zelly.” She commen...

Chapter 198

“Have you tried getting glasses?” I helpfully offered.

There was a beat of silence as the Goddess stared at me incredulously.

“Doth thou not have an ounce of fear within thy body?” She seemed more confused than angry. “Thou speaks to a Goddess. Mortals tremble at the very mention of mine name. Yet, thou jests at mine expense.”

“No, no.” I rolled my eyes. “I’m so overcome with fear and awe that I can’t help but act this way.”

“This one’s pati...

Chapter 197

I am miffed.

I think I’m allowed to be, under these circumstances.

Was it so much to ask for just a few hours of nothing happening, enjoying spending time with Raikou and Scáthach?

“I believe that beast to be Divine in origin, Master.” Raikou spoke up.

“It’s a bit far away, but the taste in the air is one I remember from Divine Beasts.” Scáthach also confirmed. “It’s not an inconsequential one at that. This Boar is mighty and would have been a foe I h...

Chapter 196

I sat on the edge of my bed, watching as Raikou finally stirred in her sleep. Her slight turning and eyes lazily opening, a content look like she had gotten a nice rest. It was cute enough that I had to hold myself back from booping her.

“Master?” She questioned, sitting up next to me. She blinked in confusion, looking around until it looked like a bolt of lightning jutted down her spine. Her tired expression shifted several times from confusion to embarrassment, until landing on so...

Chapter 195

“You know, I’m almost jealous.” I admitted, leaning my head on Raikou’s shoulder. I also had a furry tail in my lap as I gently ran my hand through the softness.

“Of which one?” Yasaka asked with a little chuckle.

“Yes.” I said with a cheeky little smile.

“Keep your feet facing forward.” Scáthach knelt next to Kunou, raising her arm up as she held a ‘spear ‘ aloft. Though, it was moreso a wooden stick. “Good, now adjust your grip like this.” She ...

Chapter 194

It was a little amusing to see her trying to grasp at the tale I wove. The description of concepts so utterly foreign to her that she needed very in depth explanations. It helped that I had both Scáthach and Raikou here with me to give credence. Not that I think she would doubt me or call me a liar, but having someone confirm something so outlandish, it helped her compartmentalize everything.

We cave up this small lull, a few moments of silence as it seemed like Yasaka was trying to ca...

Chapter 193

It was nice, weird, but nice. Having this colorful array of people all in one room and happily conversing without any issue.

Well, kind of.

Of course heads were butting, but, it was more in good fun. Scáthach was certainly someone who didn’t take shit from people, amused by their words and actions or not, she would return whatever verbal licks she received with interest.

Maybe that’s why she was sort of in this weird competition with Raikou. I know for a fact that Scát...

Chapter 192

I don’t know how long I stood there, holding her tight as if she would disappear if I let up for even a second. She didn’t speak, nor begrudge me for this time, and she made no efforts to move out of my embrace. If anything, I could have sworn she nudged herself just a little bit more into my arms.

“I hope you remember who I am, otherwise this is going to be really awkward.” It almost came out unconsciously. A – sometimes – default reaction when I’m uncertain or otherwise ...

Chapter 191

Shifting Laeticia – Jeanne’s host – back to her normal time flow wasn’t difficult as she was still unconscious. She would more or less recall everything that happened while her consciousness was pushed back while Jeanne was in control.

Somewhat ironic that she would wake up in Jeanne’s home.

I left a bag of gold next to her, and a letter with my name to threaten any Magi that happened upon her.

A small Bounded Field covered the house that would ward anyone off for ...

Chapter 190

I actually had no idea where Jeanne would be, so my first thought was just to check the last place is saw her. And walking out of the portal, she was there, sitting to the side, barely giving me a glance as I reappeared.

“Wilhelm.” She said curtly.

“Jeanne.” I gave an awkward smile.

“How you holding up?”

She turned to me, an annoyed look on your first. “Oh you know, just lamenting my failed duties because someone stole the Grail infront of me.”

I ...

Chapter 189

The talk with Medea had been…..productive.

I wanted to make time to spend more time with her, and get to know her fiancé. I felt like I would get along with her well, maybe even become true friends in the future. I don’t know if I’m one to say this, but she needs more friends.

Well, part of that problem might be solved when her old companion comes knockin.

And despite everything, Achilles is an alright guy.

In general, I think their presence in this world would ...

Chapter 188

Me and Raikou spilled out of the portal, the Grail right behind us. I stood up without much thought, dusting myself off.

Raikou though, she looked around, prepared for battle, hand on her sword and her eyes landing on the third person in the room.

I turned to look at Zelretch who didn’t raised his head. Instead, he calmly flipped to the next page in a book he was reading. “Wilhelm.” He spoke softly, still not rising to meet my gaze. “Did you bring a Holy Grail into my stud...

Chapter 187

I was tired, not that wasn’t a strong enough word. Even fatigue didn’t quite hit the mark. Physically, mentally, I was damn well exhausted. In another situation, I would gleefully make notes about how the Boosted Gear felt after utilizing for so long, and the side effects of such a burden on my body.

But at the moment, I wanted to just lay my head down and go to sleep.

Preferably between my teacher’s thighs.

I miss my Scáthach.

“Are you sure this is the right ...

Chapter 186

POV Ruler (Jeanne D’Arc.)

“Wilhelm!” I couldn’t help but shout as he stumbled out of Caster’s Noble Phantasm.

Saber had already jumped towards Assassin who had been keeping her at bay with various long ranged spells.

“Master!” His Servant was already on him as soon as the invisible walls faded. She scooped him up, immediately dodging to the side as magical attacks carved through the ground.

I was distracted, only barely noticing several objects fly by my ...

Chapter 185

I stared at the person standing infront of me. I knew who he was, but his name wouldn’t leave my mouth. I could feel my arms tremble and my hands ball into fists.

“No….this is impossible.” I whispered.

“Is it?” The person, the thing, replied. “You should be the authority on what is or is not impossible, right?”

I raised my hand pointing at him warily. “You aren’t real.” I declared. “A figment of my imagination.” I took a deep breath, steadying mysel...

Chapter 184

POV Ruler (Jeanne D’Arc)

I wish I did not have to separate from Wilhelm. I didn’t want to turn around since I would only feel sad at the goodbye.

For some reason, it felt like a true farewell.

I knew that we would have to separate eventually its just……I’ve never had many friends. Even when I marched to war in my life, I had admirers, soldiers, and subordinates. I think the only person who I could have called a friend was Gilles.

The time spent was short, but ...
