Chapter 197: With Lion King?
[Regarding the Singularity mentioned before — Master GO Singularity — its danger level seems to have increased.]
[June 5th, even though it was the last day of the long vacation, your life certainly wouldn't be leisurely.]
[Even though you kept complaining, the moment you received the call, you still rushed to Da Vinci's Magic Workshop.]
"Principal Da Vinci, Holmes, what happened this time?"
Eikou hurried to the Magic Workshop, forcefully pushed the door open, panting as he spoke.
The entire Workshop was filled with a red warning glow—this was the danger alert signal Chaldea emitted when observing a Singularity.
"You finally came,"
Holmes lifted one eyebrow. Even though the Singularity was sending out an extremely dangerous reading, it did not affect the absolute composure of the famous detective—pipe in hand, as if Mt. Tai collapsing wouldn't change his expression.
"The Singularity Master GO I mentioned before—its Humanity Foundation Value suddenly increased. This time, we have to rely on you again, Mr. Eikou."
"That's not right, this isn't like what we originally discussed. Didn't we say it should at least remain stable for half a month?" Eikou said with a confused face. "It's only been a few days, how come the disaster has suddenly become this urgent?"
"Because the situation happened abruptly, we are still investigating the cause, but…"
Holmes's icy eyes flashed with sharp insight,
"I believe there is only one possibility: a new victim has appeared in the Singularity. The existence of this Servant has stimulated the Singularity's Holy Grail War, causing everything to spiral out of control and worsening the disaster level."
"Furthermore, the other party is not an ordinary Servant—it is at least a missing high-class Servant."
"Our academy is investigating who went missing. We will notify you as soon as we have results."
"I see…"
Eikou nodded, sinking into thought.
"So what you're saying is: this time my mission is not only to restore the Singularity and resolve the chaos caused by the Holy Grail War, but I also have to bring back the missing Servant? That's what you mean?"
"Correct." Holmes replied. "We still have to depend on you this time, Mr. Eikou. I believe your compatibility with this Singularity is extremely good, making you the most suitable person to deploy from Chaldea Academy."
"It's not that I can't…"
Although he said that, Eikou was actually still a bit anxious.
Last time he went to the Romance Singularity to save Yu Ji, he accidentally got entangled with three married woman.
This time, if he goes to a new Singularity and inadvertently gets involved with a few more people, his already excessive luck with women might explode again.
If not for being "a bow drawn so tight it must fire," Eikou truly didn't want to go!
Is there any way to reduce the risks in that regard?
Just as Eikou was wondering whether he should discuss it with Holmes, Principal Da Vinci spoke first.
"This Singularity may be more difficult than the Romance Singularity, but fortunately, the requirements for rayshifting will be more flexible. In addition to you, you can also bring along one more Servant. Eikou, we have found a powerful Servant suitable to accompany you~"
Da Vinci's tone was rather light, as if she intentionally wanted to soften the pressure of the upcoming mission.
"Arjuna Alter?"
Eikou suddenly thought of that name, perhaps because this Servant was a Lostbelt King Servant, possessing tremendous power.
"No, we already tried Arjuna Alter, but his compatibility with this Singularity was not suitable. We had no choice but to find another, more fitting option."
"Right now, that Servant is about to arrive. You will definitely like accompanying her!"
"Who is it?" Eikou asked curiously.
"Artoria."
"Artoria 'Wild Boar' Caster?" Eikou became slightly anxious, "Uhh, I do like going with her, but when it comes to restoring a Singularity… does she have experience?"
Da Vinci only gave a small smile, her eyes half-playful, half-serious, not answering directly.
Eikou froze for a moment, then his eyes widened.
"You said Artoria, don't tell me it's…!"
"Greetings, everyone."
At that moment, footsteps echoed from outside—strong and sharp. The metallic sound of warrior boots striking the floor, heavy yet decisive, like that of a seasoned soldier who had crossed countless battlefields.
The footsteps drew closer, one step at a time.
Eikou held his breath, his heart starting to race.
"Good day to you all, apologies for making everyone wait."
A mature, alluring voice—calm yet dignified—rang out from outside.
Eikou was startled, then turned around in disbelief.
A female knight stood tall, straight-backed, draped in a finely trimmed mantle, her golden hair shimmering.
A noble, beautiful, cold face; a crown glittering atop her hair in a dazzling glow; emerald eyes shining brilliantly.
"You are…"
Eikou wanted to look at her face, but his gaze involuntarily drifted downward, examining the female knight's enchanting figure.
Beneath her majestic crimson mantle, she wore a tight-fitting blue outfit like a one-piece swimsuit, revealing her sultry curves—tall, voluptuous body, fair full chest, firm legs—every bit of feminine allure perfectly emphasized by the tailored garment.
"..."
Eikou's eyes were almost glued to the massive chest that looked like it was about to burst out of her outfit.
Artoria "Wild Boar" Caster?
Nuh-uh, clearly this was… Artoria "Super Cup" Lion King!
He was supposed to do a mission together with an Artoria who had grown into such a voluptuous, explosive figure?!
Going on a mission with a beautiful, mature big-sister type like this—he would absolutely be distracted to death…
"How is it, Eikou-kun?"
Da Vinci still wore the same teasing smile, like some mischievous uncle toying with an innocent, pure-hearted boy.
This unserious Principal, she had seen straight through his weakness in a single glance!
"Long time no see, Mochizuki Eikou,"
Lion King Artoria approached him with a gentle, benevolent smile, her heavy warrior boots stepping steadily.
Eikou swallowed nervously.
"I heard your midterms this time were quite good. As my first student, your grades and progress make me proud."
"T-that… it's all thanks to Artoria-sensei's good teaching…"
He muttered softly, turning his face away, too embarrassed to look directly.
"Haha, how polite…"
Because Lion King wore armored high-heeled boots, her height at the moment was slightly above the teenage Eikou.
She leaned down slightly, her full, abundant chest immediately filling his entire view, the deep, firm cleavage exposed in an extremely provocative way.
"If you don't mind… this time, for the Singularity, I will accompany you. Would you be bothered if I come along?"
"U-umu…"
