Chapter 56: Gomen, Jason!
[Randomly drawing your new teammate...]
[Your first teammate is, Medea Lily.]
"NOOOOO!!!"
Looking at the name on the card, Eikou once again fell into deep despair.
Not only in a Singularity, but even at Chaldea Academy in real life he still had to put on a "cuck Jason" show?! I seriously can't think of any teammate worse than this!
"This counts as success? This is clearly a great failure. Don't say basically satisfied—I'm not satisfied at all. To me, this is a great failure!"
[But the compatibility between the two of you is extremely good!]
Exactly compatible in what way?! Could you stop saying things like that right in front of someone else's husband?!
"Chiron-sensei, this really won't do,"
Eikou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I request to draw again one more time."
"Student Eikou, you must respect the choice of fate."
Chiron-sensei said patiently.
"You should already know my skill, right? I've got Disaster With Women, which is extremely troublesome, and also married woman special attack. You can't seriously just watch me go and hit on my classmate's girlfriend, can you?"
"Ha ha, how interesting. Then your assignment this time is to organize the team while also overcoming temptation from women and maintaining proper distance in communication. For you, this is a very good learning opportunity."
Chiron-sensei said with a smile.
"But..."
"You must seize this rare opportunity and study hard!"
"..."
Did this half-man, half-horse teacher seriously think that every problem in the world could be solved through learning?
What learning opportunity—looking at the situation, Medea Lily and I are about to turn into "learning material" that can only be viewed after unlocking paid services.
Damn it, Chiron-sensei, this lesson is one I really can't learn!
Inside Eikou's heart, only speechlessness remained.
"..."
Suddenly, he sensed a gaze from behind.
He quietly turned his head and discovered Medea Lily curiously looking at him.
Those large, light-purple eyes were as clear as a fawn's, both innocent and pure, incredibly cute.
But very quickly, that young witch suddenly became shy, using her staff to cover half of her face.
The area behind her ears turned slightly red.
[Sensing the affection between the two of you increasing...]
[You can now ask her out to hang out at any time, take one step further to increase affection, and unlock more types of interaction.]
That fast?!
"What the hell is this, isn't this way too fast?! Why can I already ask her out to hang out when I haven't even done anything yet?!"
[Doesn't this just prove that the compatibility between the two of you is extremely good!]
"I..."
[Putting everything else aside, just tell me whether the two of you are compatible or not.]
"Compatible to an excessive degree! With things progressing this fast, how could we not be compatible?!"
Eikou shouted angrily.
Suddenly, an indignant voice rang out:
"No, Chiron-sensei! I can't accept the result of this draw. Give my person back right now!"
Jason was seen suddenly charging over in a rage, furiously protesting to Chiron-sensei.
"No,"
Chiron said calmly, "you must also respect the result of the draw."
"This young master chooses to redraw!"
"Ha ha, in this matter, you have no right to choose."
Chiron-sensei smiled, but the authority he exuded left no room for doubt.
"Tch, are you a devil or something?"
Jason said irritably.
"I'm a centaur."
"Damn it, how could it be like this..."
Jason revealed an expression of complete despair, as if his soul had been drained from his body, collapsing weakly onto the ground, utterly unable to accept the result of this draw.
"Damn it, that guy's teammate was supposed to be this young master! It could only be me! How could we possibly be separated!"
The more he spoke, the more miserable he looked, completely like the image of a "helpless husband" in a JAV...
So it turns out Jason's feelings for Medea run that deep?
"Aiya..."
That appearance directly stirred up Eikou's sympathy, making him unable to help but soften. Just as he was about to say something, Jason unwillingly roared out.
"If that guy isn't my teammate, then how am I supposed to live anymore!"
He painfully slammed his fist onto the floor.
"Hurry up and give Heracles back to me a a a a a! This young master wants to be on the same team as Heracles!"
"???"
So this is what you were objecting to?! That so-called "give my person back," coming out of your mouth, was only referring to Heracles?!
This guy only has Heracles in his eyes—why don't you hurry up and look over at Medea beside you, her body and heart might very well be about to leave you forever already!
"Damn it, if there's no Heracles, if there's no him then I...!"
Jason still wore an unwilling expression.
You rely on Heracles way too much. Could it be that Heracles is your nanny or something?
[Jason's protest was ignored.]
[It seems he didn't care at all about Medea forming a team with another man, but the matter of Heracles leaving the team completely made him break down.]
[And you continue drawing, choosing your second teammate...]
[Please perform a Luck Check to determine who your next teammate will be...]
A dice fell.
[Check failure.]
[This next Servant has poor compatibility with you, and you also will not feel satisfied...]
"Fine then."
Eikou had almost completely given up.
Even if the roll succeeded, there was no way he could draw a teammate that would truly satisfy him, so whether it was a failure or not no longer mattered.
There was no need to waste an Encouragement Dice this time.
[Your second teammate is...]
