Chapter 822 - Summoning Saber-chan

At around 10 am, Irisviel and her husband finally came to the room that would be used to perform the Servant summoning ritual.

In fact, Jubstacheit had told them to come earlier. But what time was it? Almost noon!

"Sorry to keep you waiting, father-in-law." Eiji said as he grasped Irisviel's hand.

Irisviel looked at her father with an apologetic look.

Jubstacheit was a little surprised, not because of what his good son-in-law said, but was it just him or did his daughter seem more human?

As a Homonculus that he was specially created to be the vessel of the Holy Grail, it was not impossible for Irisviel to perfectly mimic human emotions as she had excellent learning ability.

But this was too fast as if she changed so much in one night.

"It's fine, Eiji. You two must have had a lot of fun last night and need a long time to rest."

Irisviel's cheeks flushed slightly at what her father said.

Actually they could have come earlier, the buff of the Master-Servant contract increased her physical strength and recovery speed, she only needed two hours of rest after being pounded all night.

But when they bathed together, Eiji couldn't resist fucking her again for three hours.

Irisviel was helpless, she could only hold on to the bathroom wall, hugging her husband's body and continuing to moan in various positions.

At this moment, both of her lower holes were even still sensitive and loose.

She also knew she was pregnant and she was very happy about it.

"By the way, I felt very strong energy fluctuations from your bedroom last night. What exactly happened?" Jubstacheit couldn't help but ask about that.

He was curious but Eiji only replied, "No big deal, I was just increasing Iris' health using my magic spells."

He did not mention about the Holy Grail that was currently in his inventory.

Jubstacheit was a little nervous. Did Eiji know Irisviel was a Holy Grail vessel and because of that, her lifespan was shorter than the other Homonculus?

He did not plan to keep this a secret, but planned to tell him later after he had completely bonded with the Einzbern family because of Irisviel.

Jubstacheit was cunning.

Eiji knew this and was pretending not to know. At least as long as he did not cross his bottom line by trying to hurt his women.

"It's a bit late and you probably already know, Eiji. Irisviel is a Homonculus and her lifespan is not as long as a normal human's."

"I know, that's why I'm increasing her health— or rather extending her life."

"How? I know you used magic, I mean how exactly did you do it, Eiji?"

Jubstacheit was surprised, he would have been even more surprised to learn the Holy Grail was no longer inside Irisviel's body, but Eiji kept it somewhere else.

Irisviel had also kept her mouth shut about it and did not plan on telling her father. Although she was a member of the Einzbern family, she now sided with her husband and would do anything for him.

Her current positive level was 124.

In the original work, Kiritsugu did not even make her that crazy out of love.

"Quite simply, I just turned Iris into a human. Now, she is no longer a Homonculus." Eiji said that casually.

However, Miss System and Leme knew he was showing off.

This was his style, he liked to say things that were impossible for others to do casually.

In other words, he didn't say human words.

"!?" Jubstacheit was dumbfounded of course.

Now he knew why Irisviel seemed more human.

It was because Eiji turned her into a human!

But how could he do that?

Was he human?

His power was more terrifying than he thought, he was definitely not weaker than the Servants.

Did the Einzbern family still need to summon a Servant? The answer was clear, it was still necessary.

The stronger their side the better!

In this war, Einzbern would win.

Jubstacheit was in a very good mood and afterwards, he asked Eiji if he already knew Irisviel was the container of the Holy Grail?

Eiji replied he knew but that was it.

Jubstacheit still did not suspect that the Holy Grail had changed hands. He then told him what he had prepared to summon his Servant.

First a magic circle that has been carved on the floor.

Secondly, a catalyst related to the Servant or a historical figure who had left a strong mark in the history of the world that he was going to summon. Incidentally, the Einzbern family managed to obtain a very good one by illegal means many years ago. On the altar, a sarcophagus had been opened and inside was a luxurious item made of gold and decorated with blue enamel. It was shaped like a sword scabbard.

Its appearance was familiar to Eiji.

Wasn't it the same thing as the one inside him?

"This is an Ancient Artifact that was once used by a legendary figure in Britain, the scabbard of King Arthur's Excalibur sword— Avalon."

Jubstacheit wanted to see the shock on Eiji's face, but the person he was referring to just blinked his eyes a few times without changing his expression.

The old man was a little disappointed.

He then explained more about the origin of Avalon and the magical abilities it possessed.

Eiji was still not surprised and was actually busy talking to the woman inside his head.

'Miss System, didn't you steal Avalon from Fate? Why is this thing still here?'

[I'm not a thief! There are many parallel worlds in Fate, your Avalon is probably a version of another world.]

'So it wasn't the Avalon in this world that you stole? I see.'

[Hey, did you hear what I said earlier? Host!]

Miss System was upset at being called a thief by her host.

How could picking up something sunken inside a lake be called stealing?

She found it, not stole it.

If Eiji knew what Miss System was thinking, he would pause for a moment and be moved at the thought of her diving into a certain lake to get Avalon for him.

Yare-yare, she loved him so much.

"Alright, let's do it."

Eiji walked towards the small circle beside the summoning magic circle.

"Wait, Eiji. There's something I haven't confirmed yet. Please show me the back of your left hand."

"Ah... Father-in-law, are you talking about Command Spell?"

Just like a driver must have a driver's license to prove that he is qualified to drive.

The Command Spell was proof of identity for someone who could participate in the Holy Grail War.

It could also be called a Holy Mark that served to make a Servant obey orders from the Master without refusal, and provided a temporary increase in power.

The conditions for obtaining it were not controlled by humans, but the Holy Grail System that would detect everyone who qualified.

Being chosen to represent Einzbern should be enough to qualify Eiji, Jubstacheit thought.

"Wait a minute... Okay, I have it now."

Eiji showed the back of his left hand which was initially empty, but the next second— a purple tattoo that strangely resembled Ophis' snake appeared. The snake made a circle similar to the infinity symbol.

"....." Jubstacheit and Irisviel.

The latter marveled at the shape of her husband's Command Spell.

But the former was confused. Had Eiji been controlling the Holy Grail System so that he could obtain the Command Spell as he wished?

Coincidence, this must be a coincidence!

Such a thing was impossible.

In fact, Eiji really did what Jubstacheit was worried about. With Anos's power and understanding of magic, it was an easy thing for him to do.

He was like a hacker who had just hacked into an invisible system with his mind.

"This is the first time I've seen a Command Spell shaped like that. How many Command Spells exactly do you have to give absolute orders to your Servant, Eiji?"

"I can do it as many times as I want."

"Sorry, what did you say?"

Jubstacheit thought he had heard wrong.

The Servant summoning process that should have started a few minutes ago was delayed because of Eiji's abnormality.

"I said I can use the Command Spell as many times as I want. Why do you look so surprised, father-in-law? Let's continue, I want to quickly see what kind of Servant I will summon."

Eiji turned around and made a slight cut on his own palm, his blood flowing in the magic circle engraved on the floor.

After that, the wound on his palm healed at a speed visible to the eye.

The scene made Jubstacheit start to feel numb.

Who was his son-in-law?

In his entire life, this was the first time he had heard of someone having unlimited Command Spells.

People usually only had three!

Eiji might not be human. Was he an old monster pretending to be human like Zouken?

Whatever it was, he was at least on the Einzbern family's side.

The other parties in the war would definitely call them cheaters if they knew Eiji's Command Spell count.

However, Jubstacheit did not care, he just felt relieved and then walked out of the room.

He left the rest to Irisviel. If her husband needed help in summoning Servants, she could help him with her knowledge.

An old man like him only needed to wait for the outcome of the war.

In the room, there were now only two people left. Irisviel asked her husband, "Eiji, do you need my help to cast the spell?"

Eiji was stunned for a moment, "That can do?"

"Yes, I can be the intermediary in this ritual. You only need to use your blood and magical energy to activate the summoning magic circle. That way, a summoned Servant will still recognize you as the Master."

"In that case, I will rely on my wife to do it."

Hearing this, Irisviel smiled sweetly and walked to the other side of the magic circle.

[Good, I actually forgot what to say in the Servant summoning ritual.]

[When summoning Artoria Lancer in the past, I even made up the words to do so even though I could summon her directly.]

The heroines in the other world:

So the words we heard back then were just words you said to make you look cool, Eiji?

How childish.

Many of them were amused.

Artoria (Lancer):

I knew it, there can't be a spell like that to summon me!

Irisviel was curious what she heard from Eiji's inner voice. Just this morning, he had told her about his harem in the other world and knew that besides her, he had other women.

She did not mind that, especially when Eiji promised to take her to the other world to meet them.

"Let silver and steel be the essence. Let stone and the grand duke of contracts be the foundation..."

While Irisviel began to chant in Latin, Eiji activated the magic circle and with Avalon as its center, a pillar of golden light exploded.

It destroyed the roof of the room.

In the original work, the special effects in the Servant summoning ritual were not that great. But that was natural— unlike Kiritsugu whose magical energy was below the average Magus because he had only practiced magic within a year before the Fourth Holy Grail War started.

Eiji's magical energy was far greater than any Magus in this world. After all, he was the Hegemony God and no matter how long Kiritsugu practiced, he would not be able to reach his level.

A few seconds later, the pillar of light disappeared and the figure of a person was seen in the center of the magic circle. Behind the smoke that was slowly subsiding, her appearance became clearer to everyone's eyes.

The women in the group chat who were watching the scene widened their eyes, especially Artoria Lancer.

[Artoria (Lancer): Come to think of it, Eiji used Avalon in that world as a catalyst in summoning. It's natural for him to summon the other me.]

With blonde hair, green eyes, and fair skin, as well as a young stature as her aging stopped at the age of 18.

The Artoria Pendragon summoned by Eiji this time wore a long-sleeved royal blue dress with a white bodice and breastplate, and wore her hair in a bun except for a few short pieces around her face.

Just like her Lancer version, she had an ahoge on top of her head. It makes her look rather cute.

[Scáthach: So that's what you looked like when you were young, Artoria.]

[Artoria (Lancer): Can we not talk about this topic?]

Seeing her younger self being watched by those women, she felt a little embarrassed.

"This..." Irisviel was surprised because the Servant they summoned should be King Arthur, right?

But the person they were looking at right now was clearly a young woman.

"I asked you a question. Are you my master?" Asked Artoria Pendragon indifferently, green eyes reflecting a silver-haired man in front of her.

He was so handsome and with the Master-Servant relationship between them, she could feel his magical power was so abundant, she could not even measure his power level.

But one thing was certain, her master was powerful. Although it did not show on her face, Artoria was slightly excited because with him as her master, their chances of winning the war were higher.

It seemed like it was worth it for her to make a pact with the world before her death and transform herself into a Heroic Spirit. That way, she could participate in the Holy Grail War, obtain the Holy Grail and rewrite British history.

It was her only regret at the brink of death after she was betrayed by her knight, Mordred.

"I am Eiji Seiya and that's right, I am your master... Artoria-chan!"

Among the other heroic spirits in the Throne of Heroes, the summoning of Artoria from the Saber class was a special case. Eiji knew this from the original work.

And unlike Kiritsugu who disliked King Arthur so much because she was a woman and preferred to rely on himself to win the war.

He excitedly called out her name.

"???" Artoria Saber had several question marks over her head.

She had yet to introduce her real name, but her master seemed to already know. However, what was with the "-chan" at the end?

Under everyone's gaze, her ahoge wobbled as if showing her confused feelings.

Some of the women in the group chat felt itchy, and had the urge to pluck it out.

What would happen if Artoria's ahoge was pulled out? They were curious.

"Eiji, you already know my real name. So I'll get straight to the point. I will help you win the Holy Grail War and in return, you must also grant my wish to save Britain!"

"Iris, is Britain not doing well right now?" Eiji suddenly asked his wife.

Artoria was stunned and glanced at the beautiful woman with silver hair in the room. Who is this? She and her master looked like a good match.

"Um... As far as I know, Britain has been a prosperous country in recent decades."

"You hear that, Artoria-chan? Britain is doing well."

"That's not it! I mean I want to rewrite the history of Britain! I want someone else to pull Excalibur out of the stone and replace me to become a better King of Britain."

Artoria explained the details of her wish with a twitch of her lips.

The women in the group chat laughed.

Irisviel smiled wryly. Her husband was evil, he was obviously teasing Artoria.

Artoria did not know this.

On the other side.

[Artoria (Lancer): Changing British history in that way? My young self is not that naive. She's another version of me, and unlike me, she seems like a failed king.]

[Rias: Ehem! Artoria, have mercy on yourself, your comment was quite cruel.]

[Sona: I agree with Rias. Artoria, you shouldn't say that to your junior.]

[Ames: Interesting, I'm looking forward to you two meeting each other.]

[Scáthach: That scene must have been funny.]

[Akeno: Ara Ara. Artoria-san, you should probably teach your other self a lesson.]

[Artoria (Lancer): That's a good idea, Akeno.]

Eiji held his chin as if in thought before saying, "Deal, from now on you are mine and will help me to win the Holy Grail."

"Thank you Eiji! I am Artoria Pendragon, my class is Saber. As a Knight, I will do my best."

Artoria had a good impression of her master, but she belatedly realized his strange words.

What did it mean for her to belong to him?

It meant she was his servant, right?

That must be it. As Artoria Lancer said, Artoria Saber was naive and did not realize Eiji had tricked her.

Even if they won the war, the Holy Grail had been contaminated by All the World's Evils and was unable to work properly.

It still had the power to grant wishes, but those wishes would inevitably be distorted and cause terrible effects.

Eiji did not tell Artoria Saber about that. But don't misunderstand, he did not trick her and would actually grant her wish with his own method later.

This was his other love strategy.

...

Not long after.

Artoria had also gotten acquainted with Irisviel and knew she was Eiji's wife. As her master, Eiji asked her to protect his wife rather than him.

The request was acceptable.

However, what about her master?

She knew he had so much magical power and exceeded a Servant like her.

Even so, Artoria still worried about his safety, especially when he said he was going somewhere.

"Master, are you sure you don't want me to come with you? What if other Servants out there attack you?"

"I will beat them up."

"Master, I'm serious."

"I'm serious too, Artoria-chan."

In the living room.

Artoria frowned, her ahoge twitching in displeasure.

Eiji was amused and said, "I'll summon you to my side with a Command Spell in case of emergency."

"That's too wasteful, master! How can you use Command Spell for that?"

"How could I not? Artoria-chan, I forgot to tell you, the number of my Command Spells is actually unlimited."

Artoria was surprised and glanced at the Ophis snake tattoo that had no end as if it was infinite on her master's hand.

Really?

"Fufufu. Eiji isn't lying Artoria and he's very strong."

Under Irisviel's persuasion, Artoria finally relented. But before her eyes, she kissed her husband passionately.

"Mmmh~"

"....." Artoria averted her gaze awkwardly from the scene. Still, the lewd voices she heard made her ears turn red.

After getting a goodbye kiss from his wife, Eiji exchanged positions with one of his shadow soldiers who was in another location.

It was time for him to return to Aoi's parents' house. Otherwise, his little yandere would go berserk. Just kidding, Sakura was a good yandere, she was probably just sulking.

And sure enough, when he arrived, she actually sulked and asked, "Onii-chan, where have you been? You smell like another woman."

Like a little dog, she hugged and sniffed around his scent.

"Well..."

Eiji scratched his head under the amused gaze of Aoi who also happened to be in the living room.

After welcoming him, she immediately made tea for him. She acted like a wife.

But instead of being directed at her husband, she did it to another man. Tokiomi, be prepared to receive a green hat!
