Night, after twelve o'clock.

Somewhere in a clearing in the forest behind the Ryudong Temple.

Zhou Chao and Sakura stood quietly in front of a magical circle station outlined by mercury, gem liquefaction liquid, and other objects.

"Are you ready?" At this time, Zhou Chao turned his head to look at Sakura on the side and asked softly.

"Ready, Brother Zhou Chao." Sakura nodded and replied with a solemn expression.

"Let's get started." Zhou Chao nodded, and retreated to the side. At the same time, Sakura took a deep breath, opened her hands as if she were holding something, closed her eyes and chanted a spell.

"The form is silver and the spirit of the earth, and the god is the spirit of nature and the world."

"Otherworldly knowledge connects the inside and outside."

"Close the gates of common sense and the world, and bring the foreign land."

"Cycle around the path to the temple."

And as her words fell, the magic array filled with strange liquid suddenly bloomed with a mysterious blue glow.

But it wasn't over, and then I listened to Sakura continue to chant the chant.

"Overfill ......"

“…… Overflow, overflow, repeat five times. ”

Almost every time 'overflowing' fell, the brightness of the magic array that shone with a faint blue light immediately became brighter, until Sakura finished reciting the incantation, and the entire magic circle was like a bright light bulb with enough electricity to illuminate a radius of one meter.

Sakura ignored these and continued to read the Tao step by step.

"But it is broken at the fullest."

As the words fell, the light on the bright magic array changed, from the original dark blue color to dim, like a shadow, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"Set!"

"Announce!"

"Thou shalt obey my commands, and my life will be with thy sword."

Then the wind emerges from the air from an unknown source. It swirled and blew in a visible way, bringing up a faint cloud of dust and the "rustle" of swaying leaves.

"At the call of the Holy Grail, if you are willing to answer this will."

"I swear by this."

"I am willing to accomplish a good deed in the world, and I am willing to punish all the evil deeds in the world."

"Thou art the Seven Heavens of the Three Great Spirits, the Wheel of Self-Inhibition is here, the Guardian of the Balances!"

Then, the magic power in the magic array exploded violently, like a huge searchlight beam, piercing the night sky. I thought about the sky directly.

However, this situation did not last long, and in only three or four seconds, the beam of light that shot straight into the sky exploded violently, re-revealing the magic array and the scene within it.

However, at this time, a petite figure with pink hair wearing a strange black short skirt that looks like only anime characters wear, covered with silver-white short skirt armor and a white long hem cloak with shoulder armor, wearing black over-the-knee stockings and white high-profile armor boots, and a very beautiful sword hanging from his waist suddenly appeared in the magic array. Entered the eyes of Zhou Chao and Sakura.

"YO, ARE YOU MY MASTER?" The petite figure looked around casually, and then fell on Sakura, who was standing outside the formation, and said very cheerfully with his little tiger teeth. That's what it looks like. Get rid of a sunny girl who hasn't grown up.

"Yes, yes." I guess I didn't expect the Servant I summoned to be a cute girl, Sakura replied after a pause.

"Hehe, I didn't expect my MASTER to be a cute girl. The Servant Rider follows the call. From now on my sword is with you, and your destiny is with me. The girl walked up to Sakura and tilted her head to look at her. He said casually.

As the words fell, Sakura felt a slight pain in the back of her hand with the spell, and understood that the contract between the two had been officially reached.

"BY THE WAY, MASTER, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" Rider then asked again.

"Sakura, my name is Sakura." Sakura replied.

"Sakura, it's really the same as me.,Beautiful name.。 Rider laughed. After a pause, he introduced himself unconsciously, "My name is Astolfo, please take care of me in the future, MASTER." ”

"Astolford?" Zhou Chao on the side blinked, and immediately ordered Jarvis to connect to the Internet and search for information about this person. Then he opened his mouth and said to Sakura, "Sakura, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." ”

"Who is this......?" Rider, Astolford turned his head to look at Zhou Chao when he heard this, and he looked puzzled when he saw him.

"This is ......" Sakura opened her mouth to introduce, but before she could speak, Zhou Chao took the lead in introducing herself.

"I'm Zhou Chao, Sakura's brother."

"Oh, that's family." Astolfo said suddenly.

"Let's go, look at the situation, it's estimated to rain later." Zhou Chao looked up at the dense sky.

"Yes." Sakura nodded in agreement, and returned to Liudong Temple with Astolfo and Zhou Chao.

At the same time, on the way, Zhou Chao knew the identity of Astolfo.

Astolford, one of Charlemagne's twelve warriors, the son of the king of England in ancient times, was a legendary beautiful man. Seeing this, Zhou Chao couldn't help but have a stagnant face, raised his eyes and looked at the side of Sakura, who was about the same height as Sakura, and his face looked like a girl's Astorfo, and subconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth.

"What is this? Hideyoshi of the Moon Edition? Pseudo-mother? ”

Then he forced down the strange feeling in his heart, and continued to browse the information that Jarvis had collected from the Moon World Online.

Astolfo was a knight with a naïve personality, a knight with pleasure ideas, acting according to his conscience and wishes, never regretting it, and although he had a handsome appearance like no other in the world, he acted extremely rashly, and it was even said that his reason had long since evaporated.

Adventurous and haunting, often caught up in trouble. He never wanted to do something bad, and although he did whatever he wanted, he wouldn't step into the worst of things.

The headdress is mistaken for a princess, and he himself says that "it is force majeure to calm the madness of my sad ally Orlando." It's also a testament to friendship."

Although he is inferior to the other twelve warriors, he is active on various stages with his magic spear that causes those who touch it to fall, a guide book that shows how to break all magic, a horned flute that blows opponents away, and a phantom beast "Hippogriff" with an eagle in the front half and a horse in the back. So as a Servant, it may not be the strongest, but it's not the worst, and it's a good card for a Servant who uses a custom spell that matches Sakura's changes to a randomly summoned Servant.

……

After a few moments, the three returned to Liudong Temple and sat down in a room.

"Are we the only ones in this temple?" Astolford, who sat cross-legged in a very unsuitable woman's image, looked around and asked.

"How?" Zhou Chao, who sat opposite Astolford in the same way, raised his eyebrows and said.

"How can I say it? My instincts tell me that we are not the only ones here. Astolfo said nonchalantly.

"I didn't expect you to have such an intuition." Zhou Chao was surprised. Then he smiled. Then he said, "Medea, come out and meet our new companions." ”

"Medea?" Astolford said weirdly.

Then the space in the room shook slightly, and Medea dressed in a sacrificial dress appeared in the room.

“Servant？ ARE YOU ALSO A MASTER? Astolfo looked at Medea and turned to look at Zhou Chao in astonishment.

"No, I'm not a MASTER." Zhou Chao shook his head and said. Astolfo looked puzzled, waiting for the next step from the Zhou Dynasty. Then Zhou Chao continued, "Medea is a companion I summoned using other means, although it is a spirit, but it is not a Servant. ”

"Oh." Astolfo looked abrupt and half-understood.

Then. The door opened, and Sakura, who was holding a tray with a teacup in her hand, walked into the house, walked over to Zhou Chao and Astolfo, and sat down on her knees. The teacups on the tray were placed in front of each of them.

"Try it, Sakura's craftsmanship is great." Zhou Chao picked up the teacup and smiled.

"yes, then I'm going to have to try it." Astolfo laughed, picking up his teacup as well. Raised in front of him and took a sip.

"Purr ......"

"You're right, Sakura's craftsmanship is really good." Then he put down the teacup and sighed.

Sakura smiled and thanked Astolford for her admiration.

"Now it's all there. And for the next cooperation, I need to know your specific situation, is that okay? At this time, Zhou Chao put down the teacup, looked up at Astolfo and said.

"So you're going to be in the Holy Grail War too?" Astolfo did not immediately answer Zhou Chao's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded in affirmation. After that, without waiting for Astolfo to speak, he said to himself, "But our goal is not the Holy Grail, but to keep Sakura alive to the end, so that Sakura will not be in danger during the Holy Grail War." ”

"That's right...... If that's the case, that's fine. Astolfo tilted his head and carefully observed the Zhou Dynasty, nodded, and said indifferently.

And Zhou Chao, who received the reply, nodded and turned his head to look at Sakura. Sakura did not hesitate and immediately said Astolford's number.

"Individual Parameters – Tendon: D, Durability: D, Agility: B, Mana: C, Luck: A+, Treasure: C. Class Ability - Pair Mana: A, Mount: A+. Possession Skills - Rational Evaporation: D, Strange Force: C-, Solo Action: B. ”

"Rational evaporation? What is that? After listening to Sakura's story, Zhou Chao said with some confusion.

If this skill is put on Berserker, Zhou Chao doesn't think it's anything, after all, what Berserker wants is madness, and reason will evaporate, but it's a little abnormal for this skill to appear on the Servant of the rank Rider, could it be said that Astolford can temporarily incarnate as Berserker? If that's the case, it's interesting.

"Well, it's nothing, it just makes me often forget to re-remember important things, or say things I shouldn't say when I'm not paying attention." Astolfo said with a look of complete indifference.

"Forgetting something important or saying something you shouldn't have said? Can you give an example? Zhou Chao asked.

"Well...... It's probably forgetting the real name of a certain Noble Phantasm, and telling the weaknesses and real names of your companions during the battle. Astolfo raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed. But when it fell into Zhou Chao's ears, he couldn't help but condense slightly, and turned his head to look at Medea on the side.

"Is it really good for this kind of guy with obvious pig team attributes to be his companion?"

However, the matter has come to this point, and the Zhou Dynasty has no way to change another person to serve as Sakura's Servant, so he has to make up his mind in his heart to pay more attention to Astolfo in the future, so he put this matter aside for the time being, and asked about the part he was most concerned about.

"Okay, I see, tell me about your treasure."

"Treasure...... I have four of those things. Two of them were obtained from a woman I had once saved, a magic flute that could emit terrifying magical sounds, and a magic book that recorded the means by which all magic could be broken. As for the other two treasures, one is the gun that I usually use, which can make people fall, and the other is the phantom beast that I got by chance, the Hippogriff. Astolford thought for a moment and said. Although the statement is vague, the general function is basically clear.

But before his words fell, Medea on the side made a somewhat strange sound.

"Oh?"

Astolfo, Zhou Chao, and Sakura turned their heads and looked at Medea.

"You said that one of your treasures is a magic book that can break all magic methods?" Medea smiled faintly, looked at Astolfo and said.

"Yes." Astolfo nodded in affirmation.

"Then I'm curious, I wonder if what is written in that book also has the means to break my magic." Medea said lightly.

After the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed and became a little depressing. Obviously, because of Astolford's description of the treasure in his hand, Medea's pride and self-esteem as a witch were aroused, and she wanted to see if the treasure was true to its name.

For a moment, the scene became quiet.

After a moment, Astolfo said shyly, "Uh...... I'm sorry, I forgot the real name of that Noble Phantasm, so I couldn't unleash its full power. But it doesn't matter, as long as you hold it, that treasure can take effect, so I can be exempted from all magic attacks below the A level, and if you want, I can cooperate with you. ”

"......" and as soon as this remark came out, everyone became speechless.

You can forget your real name as a treasure, can you still be unreliable? But correspondingly, it also made Zhou Chao more and more intuitively feel the troubles caused by the so-called rational evaporation.

What a proper pig teammate! (To be continued......)
