Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Greek Team Hurting Each Other
"βcome and help us. That's what Shinji said.
Medea looked up at the boy beside the bed in a daze, her eyes between blue and purple shining with disbelief.
What did he say?
Did I hear it wrong?
He- was he inviting me, after knowing my real name, inviting the rebellious witch Medea?
"Are you sure you want me to join you?"
"Yes, it's the best option right now. Shinji nodded.
"Aren't you worried?" Medusa continued.
"Worried about what?"
"I'm afraid I'll betray again, I'm a witch of betrayal. My life has always been a betrayal, both before and after death. β
"I have already said that no one is born to betray, and every betrayal has a reason. I didn't talk about it in my life, but a large part of it was because of the arrow that loved God. While I admit that you have gone too far in some of your actions, and there is nothing to say, it is clearly not advisable to put the blame entirely on you. As for Atram, whoever has a little conscience will feel unhappy and kill him. If you do what he says, I will look down on you. β
As he spoke, Shinji turned his head to look at the group of women behind him.
"You're okay, are you?"
"Since my brother said so. β
"No comment. β
"It's not that I can't fully understand Miss Medea's feelings. β
Sakura, Fujino, and Kiri-e have different answers, but they mean the same.
In the end, only Medusa remained, and she remained unabashedly wary of Medea from beginning to end.
"If there is no way to restrain her, I don't approve of her joining, this woman is too dangerous. β
"What do you want?"
Medusa's expression that had just eased turned cold again. It's not just Medusa who is on guard against her, she's also on guard against Medusa.
"Shinji, you said last night that you had a superfluous spell, and I want you to have the coercion to restrain her. "Medusa's first opening was the most decisive proposal.
"No, you don't. Shinji shook his head.
"Shinji!" Medusa was unusually anxious.
Shinji sighed: "Sister R, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need to. In my opinion, you should be the one who understands Medea the most. β
"Why?"
"Because you have similar experiences. You should have a happy life, but it turned into a tragedy because of the tyrannical gods of Olympus. I think it's because of your example that Sakura, Fujino, and Kiri-e are willing to accept Medea. β
The three people who were named by Shinji nodded one after another, Medea has a bad reputation, how good is Medusa? After all, they are all femme fatales of the American generation - this doesn't count, cross it out.
"But, it's different. Medusa's attitude was unexpectedly stubborn, "That witch, she knows everything about men, Shinji you ......"
"Are you afraid that I will be seduced by her?" Shinji laughed, "You are the same for this, today I went shopping for clothes with Sakura, haven't you discovered your charm?"
"Hmm. Medusa tilted her head, a dazed look on her pretty face.
"I didn't find out. Shinji slapped his forehead, "I really don't know if it's because I'm sluggish or if I've been hit by your two sisters-Sakura, you come and tell her." β
"Rider, at the mall today, all the men are watching you. Sakura pulled her servant aside and whispered, "I'm envious when I see it." β
"Whoa, whoa, whoa~~~~~~~" Medusa suddenly let out a series of exclamations, and people couldn't help but laugh - Steno, Eurie Ellie, you two are really guilty.
On the other hand, Medea also became curious about Medusa's identity.
"She's ββ?"
"Can you say that?" Shinji winked at his sister.
Sakura looked at Medusa, then Shinji, and shook her chin slightly.
Shinji, who got the agreement, spoke, "Like you, you're all from Greece, and the name is a bit similar, Medusa." Speaking of which, the Holy Grail really likes Greek Heroic Spirits, and the two summoned are both Greek. β
Medea didn't listen to the latter exclamation, staring at Medusa's face and the eyes hidden behind her glasses.
"Medusa, that Gorgon?"
Medusa was furious: "What did you say?
Medea didn't give in: "What? Am I wrong? Aren't you a monster of Gorgon?"
The air between the two became more and more tense, and Shinji hurriedly stood between the two of them, blocking each other's sight.
"They all don't say a word, they are all notoriety because of the curse of God, why should they hurt each other? From now on, the rebellious witch, the monster of Gorgon, and the words related to them shall not be spoken, who shall say...... Belch...... Whoever has nothing to eat has to take care of the whole family's housework!"
In all fairness, this punitive measure really has little deterrent effect. Servants don't need to eat, as for housework, Medusa has been bullied by her two sisters since she was a child, and she knows everything about laundry, cooking, and cleaning, Medea is weaker in this regard, but she is a magician of the gods, and she can do it with just a few magic tricks.
However, the two did not continue to hurt each other. They actually know that that is the biggest pain in each other's hearts, a taboo that should not be touched, they were angry before, but now that they calm down, they will naturally not violate the taboo again.
"I see. β
"I won't say any more. β
"Good. Shinji nodded with satisfaction, "Let me ask again, Medea, would you like to join us?" When this Holy Grail War is over, we will send you home regardless of victory or defeat. If you have other conditions, you can also mention it. Unlike that idiot of Atram, we don't see servants as slaves, everything is negotiable...... You can think of this as an employment contract where you give in exchange for your efforts. β
Medea tentatively asked, "What ...... the Holy Grail?"
"There is another secret to this, and I can't tell you what it is until you officially join. What I can tell you now is that it's not quite the same as what you think, and it's not worth grabbing. β
Although Shinji said vaguely, this attitude of having one thing to say is what Medea values the most.
"I see, last question, who will be my master?"
"Who do you want to come?"
"You!" Medea pointed at Shinji without hesitation.
"Sure enough, you woman has bad intentions. Medusa hurriedly stopped, "No, I don't agree. β
"That's the right choice for me. Medea explained unhurriedly, "Only Miss Sakura and Mr. Shinji are magicians here, and Miss Sakura has already made a contract with you, and then she has made a contract with me, the pressure on her...... The other two ladies are not magicians, and if you make a contract with them, it will consume their life force. Mr. Shinji has a surplus spell in his hand, which can be used to conclude a contract. β
"This ......"
