Koyanskaya, under her Presence Concealment, was moving through the Tepes Faction's stronghold, the wards here hilariously weak compared to, say, Chaldea's.
She observed everything that the vampires called their right, and relished in her master's murderous focus. She had a mission here, but sharpening her Master's will was a nice bonus~
Still, she had to wait for the trash to return the Dhampir girl into her rooms before she could see these vampires slaughtered!
Focusing the Visual Phone Snail on the bloody orgy in front of her, she could tell that the Master's Holy Sword Wielder friend was a hair's breadth from unleashing an Excaliblast upon the whole estate. Such cute bloodlust! She wanted to see more of that.
Finally, the present vampires all drank from the golden cup - the local Holy Grail - and returned it to the dhampir girl, after which the Sacred Gear holder was accompanied to her rooms, and the foxy spy followed.
This is not how you treat your tools, she shook her head as the guards roughly showed the girl into the room, then dematerialized and passed through the door and watched the dhampir lie still on the bed still in a bloodied nightgown, staring into nowhere…
…at her?
Koyanskaya frowned, floating from one side to another, followed by the red eyes of the dhampir. It seemed that she got noticed! How embarrassing!
With that, she materialized in the room, and grinned at the widening of the eyes of the target.
"Relax, I'm not here to kill you," she then took out the beacon the Casters made and activated it, the Dimension Lost Longinus then cutting through the wards and dragging the entire compound into itself. "Come, we're gonna get you out of there!"
As the dhampir remained unmoving, the vixen pouted, and, ignoring the strike team made of the Holy Sword Users, picked the girl bridal-style.
"Ah?"
'Get her out,' her Master ordered. 'She is the main priority of this mission.'
Ah, her Master, the one to house the Sovereign of the Moon. Koyanskaya wondered if the so-called Cao Cao knew just what kind of a person he thought he controlled.
'Yes, yes~' And then she used the special Georg-given teleportation circle. Pity, though, that she couldn't see that Sakura girl's first drawn blood.
"Poor child," her fellow Servant, Europa, started to fuss over the dhampir as soon as the Assassin returned to the camp. "Poor children, to suffer so…"
"...spirits?" the girl's eyes gained some sort of a semblance of life. "But… physical?"
"Indeed," the Rider smiled at her, taking the girl from Koyanskaya's hands. "I'm Europa! Call me Grandma."
"..." the Sacred Gear holder then closed her crimson eyes and seemingly lost consciousness.
Well, with the VIP handed off, Koyanskaya could watch the swordsmen slaughter the vampires through the Video Phone Snails used as body cameras.
Arthur was methodical in his murder, like the true King of Knights. Siegfried was wild, completely unlike the one in Chaldea. And Sakura… oh, Sakura, sweet girl, was rampaging as if she were Mordred. How cute were her berserker tears!
"Mas~ter~" the vixen sauntered to the brown-haired girl. "Like what you see?"
"No," Soma Yumi shook her head. Her face looked mildly green. Koyanskaya wondered if she'd throw up if the vampires weren't disintegrated by the Strongest Holy Swords. "I don't like Sakura doing this. It's bad."
"Can't make an omelet without breaking eggs, though!" the Assassin smiled.
"...yeah," her Master looked away.
***
"It's done," Arthur reported, a small crowd of shivering humans behind him. "We slaughtered every vampire and rescued every hostage."
"Well," Cao Cao grinned, then turned to her. "Will you do the honors of leaving the calling card?"
"Yes. Let's put an end to this."
Sakura smiled bitterly and stepped to face the Tepes Compound, Excalibur manifesting in her hands once again. As she gathered mana in Artoria's Dragon Core, she thought back on the horrors she saw in the mansion - all the things she feared out of the supernaturals' existence, come to reality.
Artoria sent her a wave of reassurance, and the pinkette raised the Holy Sword like an executioner does the ax.
"EX-"
The battle is not against an elemental. The battle is against evil. The battle is not for personal gain. The battle is not against humans. The battle is not against those pure of heart. The comrades are courageous.
Six restraints. More than enough to eradicate this place of horrors!
Kanako Sakura swung the pillar of Light down.
"-CALIBUR!"

A shop from Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door. Manifests in the Dimension Lost.
The Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm crashed into the wards, overpowering them easily, and then erased the Tepes Compound, leaving a smoking swath of land in its wake, the saved humans watching with wide eyes.
"Good job!" Cao Cao clapped her on the shoulder, his eyes full of glee. "Georg, return the Tepes compound to the real world. Let it be a testament of our intent."
"Of course, Cao Cao."
As the destroyed buildings disappeared from Dimension Lost, Sakura breathed out and turned back to the Hero Faction…
"Um. Where am I?"
Everyone turned to the Toad and his table, Yumi then rubbing the bridge of her nose.
"Sorry. It's been a while since I lost control."
***
After sending the Toad to Sochi, Yumi considered her next moves.
Cao Cao was not going to just let her have Valerie, she knew. The dhampir was unlikely to be induced into the Hero Faction, more likely becoming an asset… and thus she had to move fast to retain access to her.
A part of her that was a naive girl wanted to shout and rage at the unfair teen, but the newer Dr. DOOM part simply considered the situation like a puzzle, like a problem to be solved. Put simply, Valerie as herself was not important, but her Sacred Gear was, and thus she needed to… to…
'You need to tell Cao Cao that you'll extract the Subspecies Triple Grail out of her,' Wisdom continued. 'One cup for you, one for him, one to keep the girl alive.'
Can I even do that, she wondered.
'Any Caster worth their salt can do that,' Hakuno piped up. 'You just need to offer this before Leonardo does.'
Ah. She truly needed to move fast.
"Cao Cao," she spoke up, and the chinese teen turned to look at her. "I'm going to summon more Servants, aiming for Caster. A Servant of the Spell should be able to extract the Sacred Gear for ease of use."
"Permission granted," the teen grinned.
Her Command Spells lighting up, she mentally punched the wall…

Archer Gilgamesh is summoned to the world of DxD.
"Fufuhahahahaha! Being able to summon me means that you've used up all of your luck, Mongrel!" the golden man, that she got, laughed. "Well now, host of my Master! I will be, fuhahahahaha, helping you on your great journey! You don't need any other Servants than me!"
'Oh, Gil,' Hakuno sighed. 'Don't be intimidated, he is a douche but he likes me.'
Not a Caster, Yumi thought…
'No, don't,' Wisdom whispered. 'This guy is everything you need, and will take offense to you trying to summon more Servants.'
…how inconvenient.
"So, so-called Hero Faction mongrels," the golden man grinned at them. "Are you gonna prove yourself for this lofty title to this King?"
***
As the rest of the Hero Faction paid attention to the golden Servant, Leonardo was fuming.
Fucking Masquerade Breaker, fucking mutated [Solar Hand] Sacred Gear, fucking randomness that they brought… he was a fucking girl now! Give him his manhood back dammit!!!
And, to make it worse, both his Ancestor instincts and the Heroic Spirit within him were adamant it was a power-up - something about this being a 'perfect body'. Why couldn't a perfect body be male, he had zero idea-
'Because Mona Lisa is the ideal of loveliness!' Da Vinci the Servant piped up.
Shut up, he thought. Just because you were trans, didn't mean that he was too!
'Relax! Surely the Grail can make you male again,' she laughed.
…that was a good idea, actually…
"Now - show me your worth, oh HEROES," the golden man then grinned and opened fire with…
With…
And then Leonardo had no time to think, only dodge.
***
Who the hell was this, Cao Cao wondered, to frighten Longinus so?
'This is the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh,' the Heroic Spirit replied. 'Perhaps the strongest Servant your subordinate could've drawn forth.'
Ohhhh. This had… potential.
The Chinese teen grinned, using the Spear of Destiny to deflect the treasures the King was using as projectiles, feeling more alive than anytime before. This was what he strived to become - a human God.
'He is going easy on you,' the Servant within him noted, looking at the ten gates behind the golden Archer. 'He can make these fall like droplets in rain.'
Damn. Truly, recruiting Masquerade Breaker was the best decision he could've made.
Cao Cao grinned, and started to chant:
"O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God…"
"Woah, the boss is getting serious!" Jeanne grinned.
"Hah! I'll allow it!" King Gilgamesh laughed.
"Suck the ambition of the King of Domination sleeping within me and pierce through the gap of blessing and destruction…"
Let's hope for a charm ability, the leader of Hero Faction thought as the Spear started to shine with Heavenly Light.
'...Like that'd work on Gilgamesh,' Longinus returned.
"Thou. Announce thy will, and turn into a glow!"
Heavenly Light shone upon the battlefield.Back in the Hero Faction's compound, Gilgamesh sipped some wine while observing his summoner and her crew.
The state of this world infuriated him - it was the worst of the Age of Man and Age of Gods combined, blind passive masses under inhuman shepherding. Still, Hakuno trusted in the lookalike girl's capacity to forge the world into a better one, so he withheld his judgement and decided to wait and see what his summoner would do.
And if she failed… he would just use his own Holy Grail to return to life and become the sole King again.
"Archer," Soma Yumi addressed him directly - would have been a point in her favor, if he wasn't aware of the foreign world's goddesses whispering into her mind. "Would you like to join the Hero Faction Leadership's meeting?"
There was no need for him to do so, as he had already gauged the so-called Heroes and decided that they were not worth his time.
"No," instead, he decided he wanted to meet the other summons.
"Of course," she nodded. "Daikokuten have prepared the penthouse suite should you wish to rest."
Ah, the rat Beast III candidates. He would have to see how his summoner would deal with them.
"I suppose it is acceptable for now," he nodded. "You may go."
The brunette nodded and went away. Gilgamesh swirled the wine in his glass, thinking…
***
"Can you summon more Heroic Spirits, Yumi?" CaoCao asked her after everyone was gathered in the conference room.
'It's unadvisable to summon any more Servants,' Wisdom told her.
'Gil is everything you guys need,' Hakuno agreed.
Yumi nodded and relayed that.
"That madman?" Arthur frowned. "He is a loose cannon at best. We cannot rely on him."
"Why do you need any more Servants, anyway," Sakura asked, narrowing her eyes. "We have enough heavy-hitters already, from the Swimsuit summon, you know?"
"We need more magecraft users," the Chinese teen refuted pleasantly. "We cannot leave the Grail in the hands of an element with uncertain loyalties, after all."
'Meredith Ordinton would be a great addition to your Faction,' Wisdom piped up. 'You can go recruit her herself. If not that, you could go to Hakuno's world and recruit people here'
"I have someone in mind," Yumi nodded. "Moreover, I could ask Chiyo to move me to Servants' World and recruit the locals. Their world is characterised by supremacy of human order, and therefore is of great interest to us."
"I suppose that is acceptable," the Head of Hero Faction nodded. "Le Fay, Georg, Leonardo, observe the Shinigami's spell and see if you could replicate it."
The small Mona Lisa-looking mage scoffed, grimacing and then looking away from her.
"If Yumi doesn't mind," the glasses-wearing teen nodded.
'The mechanics are too different for them to replicate the spell in a reasonable timescale,' Wisdom reassured her. 'By then you'll be the Leader.'
'I wouldn't underestimate Da Vinci's omnipotence and Morgan's abilities, though,' Hakuno added. 'These are tremendously powerful, capable Casters. They might extract the Sacred Gear soon if you don't distract them.'
"Of course," the brunette nodded. "Would they come with me to Servant World? I would appreciate additional help."
Georg looked at Cao Cao, who, in turn, nodded.
"Go with her and Kanako," the True Longinus nodded.
***
Gasper's head was pounding.
"I need to tell that… to whom?" he asked the copy of himself that appeared in his previously safe, sealed room. "Everyone is already busy with the… everything… that Sakura and Yumi unleashed upon the world! So busy, I don't think they have any free time to meet with you!"
"Yes, and that's why my intel is so important," Time God Gasper nodded. "Usually I would've left this timeline to spiral into chaos alone, but she has proven to be able to affect other timelines, and I cannot afford to be retconned out of existence, for everyone's sake."
"Sona's Pawn?" the dhampir Reincarnated Devil blinked. "What about him?"
"...Sona's?" the older dhampir's eyes narrowed. "Fuck, this is bad. Timelines where Sitri recruits him don't go anywhere as well as Gremory… can you at least get Buchou to meet me? We need to get him into her Peerage."
"Um," the younger looked away. "But what can we do, if you, a God, cannot bring her down?"
"Sic the Satans on her," the other shrugged. "While her interference clouds the future, that should be enough to kill her."
"I don't like that," the Bishop Piece said in a small voice. "It feels like I've messed up and instead of fixing it I dig deeper."
"Do it for Valerie and Buchou and Issei's future."
"O-okay…"
***
Sakura hummed, the white lace swimsuit hugging her curves - and wasn't that a strange development, to grow up to a D-cup in a few days? - as Bright Ehangwen flew through the darkness of Garganta.
The Noble Phantasm felt… comforting, as was the Ruler's quiet support. If not for that, she'd be a nervous wreck already, and she couldn't allow that, for her mom, for Yumi, for mister Soma and everyone else who believed in them.
"This is a lot more comfortable than riding Kyogoku and Bailong's carriage," Chiyo smiled, perched on the nose of the ship-hall, her spell acting like a guiding compass through the alien, twisting not-world. "Especially the alcohol bar!"
"No one else can drink besides you," Yumi deadpanned, but there was a faint spark of amusement in her eyes. "We all are teens and thus mustn't touch alcohol."
"Skill issue!" the decades-old Shinigami cackled, then knocked back her martini glass.
Her brunette friend pouted.
"I shouldn't have introduced you to the Internet," she huffed, more playful than annoyed. "It was a bad influence on you."
"That it was!" the Shinigami grinned. "Ah, but we're almost at the destination. Get the camouflage ready."
"I'll go tell Le Fay," Yumi nodded and went inside the hall. "Her Saint Graph might dislike illusions, but it's a necessity."
***
As they entered the new world, Yumi felt that it was watching them warily.
'The Counter Force isn't reacting too badly - which is good,' Hakuno told her. 'It means that it doesn't perceive us as an active threat.'
"We're as protected as Morgan can make us," Le Fay reported, maintaining the illusion on the flying ship. "So, Masquerade Breaker - where to?"
'There are quite a few Magi that would be happy to accept your offer,' Wisdom advised. 'Such as Dr. Heartless, Touko Aozaki, the entirety of the Einzbern and remaining Yggdmillenia… the first would join you just for what your world is like, the second you can tell that Lilith is alive in your world and you can lead her to that woman, the homunculi are aimless and the last need to get out of the world. The last ones are the most time-sensitive.'
"We need to go to Romania," Yumi voiced, mentally reviewing Moon Cell's data. "We can pick up a whole clan of magi here."
"Which way?" Sakura asked.
"In the direction of the sun."
As they flew with supersonic speeds across the skies, the Hero Faction members did their best to adapt to the lower mana quotient in the air, the pressure of reality to reject them. They were both Foreigners and not, the Saint Graphs being in-context and their bodies not, and so they relied on Yumi's Blessing of Power to compensate for existence erosion.
"Morgan is synching to her local self," Le Fay suddenly announced. "She is saying that we should visit her in Avalon. I'm going to open a gate there, okay?"
Yumi saw Sakura frown minutely.
"Anyone have any arguments against?" Georg asked, but no one replied. "Then, we should meet her. Do it, Le Fay."
The blonde witch nodded and, as she chanted, a water mirror appeared in front of the ship, the vessel passing through smoothly to…
Yumi choked at the cloying sensation of the thick mana in the air. It was perfect, it was unbearable, it was great, it was horrible…

'Grrrr, get up! It's just mana!'
Right. 'Just' mana content high enough to burn her soul. No biggie.

"What," Georg deadpanned, nervously observing the newcomers. "Who are you people?"
"Where are we?!" the really big and round guy in front pointed a spear - a mundane-looking spear, not a Light one - at the magician. "Who are you?!"
Yumi sighed.
***
Merlin narrowed his eyes. Where did these people come from? Were they a threat? Were they going to be entertaining?
"What's wrong?" his cute familiar looked up from his flower-woven basket.
"Ah, nothing, nothing," the magus smiled dreamily. "Just saw something surprising."
"Huh?!" Cath Palug jumped to his feet, visibly surprised. "Did someone achieve Sixth Magic or what?"
"Nope! We have visitors from another world," the incubus grinned. "They'v been invited by Morgan to Avalon. I'm going to go meet them. Ah, but not in person, obviously - I'll need your help there."
"No," the white fluffy Beast candidate said. "No. A thousand times no. Use your own Independent Manifestation."
"And let Morgan know I can leave the Garden?" The purple eyes of the magus were full of mirth as he picked Cath Palug by the scruff. "Sorry, but your NEET-dom ends today. Get to work!"
"No! You fucker!" the small white animal wriggled in his grasp vigorously. "Let me go-"
"Sure!"
And then the Beast IV Candidate was flung out of the high window of Merlin's jail.

As the winged people of Skypeia were exploring the literal paradise they arrived at, the Hero Faction members were arguing what to do with them.
"I say, we don't need them," Leonardo argued. "Ehangwen's maximum capacity is three hundred people, and they'll take up more than a sixth of that."
"I have a responsibility to those I summon," Yumi shook her head. "We should take them with us."
"Maybe we could ask them what they want," Sakura piped up. "They seem enamoured with this place. Maybe they would want to stay."
"...good point," Georg decided. "I'll want some feathers from them, though - my Caster is saying their body composition is fascinating."
The place they were in really looked like a Paradise - full of light and flowers. There was a white tower in the distance, but, while curious about that, Le Fay told them to fly in the opposite direction - something about 'troublesome philanderers'.
As Yumi approached the fifty-something angel-lookalikes, they shoved an older-looking one to the front.
"Greetings, o Maiden!" he boomed. "I am Wilmer! Are we in the Fairy Vearth?!"
'He means the Moon,' Wisdom explained.
'I'm the Sovereign of the Moon,' Hakuno added. 'This isn't that. This is Avalon, Land of Faerie, the Inner Sea of the Planet.'
"This is the Land of Faerie, the Inner Sea of the Planet," Yumi echoed, accessing the newcomers with Dr.DOOM's skills. They looked reverent, awed and on the edge of worshipping her and her party.
"Oooh!" the warriors - and they were warriors, as their movements and physique revealed. "Praise be to… uh, what are your names?"
"I'm Soma Yumi, the one to accidentally summon you," she nodded. "A member of the Hero Faction, the liberation force of humankind."
The speaker looked pensive.
"Can you send us home?" he finally asked. "Preferably with some vearth."
'He means dirt,' Nayru piped up.
"I can, but for the second part we'll have to ask the local rulers,"the brunette replied. "Luckily for you, we're flying to meet one of them."As they arrived at the Le Fay indicated, they landed and were greeted with a view of a white ornate gazebo, a woman in black and blue seated there with a cup of tea.
"Greetings, oh travelers," she smiled coldly, amusement in her ice-like eyes. "I am Morgan, a Great Mother Faerie, also known as Vivian and Nimue. Tell me, wanderers, why are you here, in this world, bearing Servant Cores within your bodies?"
"Greetings, Lady Morgan," Georg bowed deeply. "We are members of the Hero Faction, an organization that fights to safeguard humanity in our world. We come here in search of help, for our enemies are numerous and powerful."
"Hm… you fight for the supremacy of humanity," her eyes narrowed. "I suppose not every world would have a Human Order. From what I saw from my Servant self, yours has both Gods that are the current primate species, and these 'Devils' that are other contenders for the seat of primacy. Tell me, what do you plan to do with them?"
"We plan to dethrone the gods," the glasses-wearing magician replied. "And the Devils… they may have the Underworld, but their predation of humanity has to end."
"Is that so," the faerie tilted her black metal-crowned head. "And you are not going to use my brother's sword, my brother's spirit to eradicate them, root and stem?"
"Only if necessary."
Morgan hummed.
"Pink girl," she then turned to Sakura. "You hold the Holy Sword of the Planet. Even if your passenger is a brutish caricature of my brother, you still are the second most interesting thing in this delegation, surpassed by the Spark of Eternities that is your Saint friend. Still, hold onto that sword - I can tell that your heart is in the right place."
"Thank you?" the pinkette nodded.
"Ah, I haven't played an advisor since Lionheart," the faerie sighed. "It's nostalgic."
And then a white fluffy thing jumped on the table, irritation visible in its purple eyes.
"Fouuuu," it whined, glaring at them. "Kyuuuuu!"
"Cath Palug," Morgan narrowed her eyes, pursing lips in displeasure. "What does your master want?"
"Fouuuuu," the critter huffed, looking at Sakura…'s chest unerringly.
"Little pervert," the woman scoffed. "Like master, like familiar."
'Great Mage Merlin's familiar,' Hakuno told her.
Huh.
"In any case, I would advise you to follow the Lunar Sovereign's advice," Morgan withdrew a piece of parchment and an elaborate pen, and started to write. "I'll give you a letter of introduction - it should open the possibility of peaceful negotiations between you and the Mage Association, instead of them sending the Department of Lore after you."
"Thank you," Georg bowed again.
"Ah, but take the familiar with you," the faerie told them. "I'm curious what would happen."
***
As the Conspiracy members gathered in Ozpin's office, the grey-haired reincarnator smiled and sat at his chair.
"I am glad we all gathered here today," he told them. "The topic of this meeting is the recent strange happenings in Vale."
"Is it how one of my best researchers had to be cut out of that capsule, full of lifeless bodies of some girl, in one of them?" General Ironwood asked.
"Yes. We need to do something about this… Evangelion," Ozpin sipped his cocoa. "It's a treasure trove of information, but it also radiates anger, which attracts Grimm, and I cannot risk Mister Lie Ren to use his Semblance on the biomechanoid, lest something like Mister Ochre Diego's incident gets repeated. And no, I cannot surrender it to Atlas - I am genuinely afraid what might happen if it is transported over wilderness."
"Then, what do we do, Oz?" Qrow scoffed. "Can't keep it, can't leave it, can't study it…"
"I propose we dismantle it," Glynda said.
"We cannot, it's a living being with a soul," the Headmaster of Beacon shook his head. "Hm. Maybe we could move the soul…?"
"Okay, that sounds like it either works perfectly or backfires spectacularly," Qrow sighed. "Let's do it. Anything else?"
"Yes, the root cause of its sudden appearance," Glynda nodded. "Besides that Charles person and the Soma Yumi mystery?"
"It was my mistake to let them go," Ozpin admitted. "I was so surprised by the sudden appearance of that man, I fell back on habit and tried to isolate the man, but now I know that she was responsible for his summoning."
"Wait, hold on," Ironwood frowned. "Can you bring me up to date? How do we know that?"
"She summoned a Ruby Rose back in her world, and then sent her back here," the reincarnate replied. "And thus we now have two of her, identical down to Semblance. The summoned one told us everything she knew, and it's vital that this intelligence doesn't leak to Salem…"
***
Bright Ehangwen left Avalon in Romania, where the remnants of Yggdmillennia Magus clan were stationed.
Sakura petted the little critter in her hands, looking down on the half-destroyed city beneath. It was a field of a battle between Heroes, and it still was recovering, the magi swarming the place like ants.
"So, who goes down to meet the locals?" she asked.
"Myself and Soma," Georg replied. "You, Le Fay and Leonardo should stay on the ship - you, in case we need to run quickly, Le Fay to teleport us back and Leonardo isn't the most diplomatic… Leonardo, give us Phone Snails."
"Hear, hear," the kid made some invertebrates manifest.
"Do I need to lower Ehangwen?" the pinkette asked, picking one. "Or will you just jump off?"
"Stay here," Georg replied. "Soma, with me. Let's see how Dimension Lost performs here."
As the two disappeared in the dimensional mist, Sakura sighed, hugging the critter to her chest. This was.. an unfamiliar, somehow cold and unwelcoming place. She hoped that this trip would be worth it.
"Gh, this world really is hostile…" Leonardo manifested a big snail with a TV on its side. "The reception is horrible!"
But soon the static lifted, and they could see the feed from the body snails in the other party's possession.
They were met with caution, Artoria whispered in her mind. The magi felt their power and thus were wary. The presented letter made them less cautious and more… hmm… greed and fascination settled in their expressions.
As the two Hero Faction members were escorted to the local magus congregation, Leonardo started to experiment with his magic.
"Damn, it's like pulling teeth," after a while the kid groaned. "This world sucks!"

A girl from Holy Sword Project, frozen in a barrier of her Sacred Gear.
"Huh, that's a Sacred Gear," Le Fay tilted her head as she looked at the barrier that appeared next to Yumi.
***
"Wowzers!" Astolfo exclaimed. "Caules, Caules! We're gonna join them, right?!"
"That would be extremely foolhardy!" Gordes huffed, then blanched. "Don't tell me you're considering it?!"
Caules Forvedge Yggdmillennia, the effective leader of the remnants of Yggdmillennia Clan, fixed his glasses nervously. He really wanted to, and not just because these were real-deal heroes, but also because it would allow his people to dodge responsibility for the whole Great Grail War thing…
…but still, that offer sounded too good to be true.
As the Magical Girl - that plain-looking visitor summoned an honest-to-God actual Magical Girl - looked around the castle grounds with the small teen girl freed from the barrier, he observed the newcomers carefully, and they did so in turn.
The great ship-like vessel above the castle reminded him unpleasantly of Semiramis's Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
"So, what is your answer?" the leader of the delegation, Faust, asked.
"I need to talk to the entirety of my clan before making such a decision," he responded, nervously fixing his glasses.
"No. A thousand times no," the Music shook his head. "I will not follow you to such foolishness!"
"A partnership would also be acceptable," the brown-haired girl added. "While we haven't reverse-engineered Chiyo's spell yet, I'm sure your people would be up to the task, and thus would be able to establish communications with those left behind."
Frankly, the girl unnerved him. Her eyes were blank, distant, and unexpressive, yet it was like she saw through him. If not for Gordes's expertise, he would've thought her to be a homunculus…
"Maybe we could leave someone stationed here," Georg added. "I'm sure Jeanne would be up to task."
Jeanne?
"She isn't with us currently, but she is the Jeanne D'Arc Spirit Inheritor," the brown-haired teen explained. "And Yumi summoned the local Jeanne D'Arc's Servant Core into her."
Just the capacity to summon anything, if randomly, had the stationed Mage's Association people salivate at the prospects, and lament the fact the newcomers had the sense to get a powerful local patron in the form of Nimue. Idly, Caules wondered if they planned to Seal these kids…
"Jeanne, eh…" Astolfo grinned. "Hey, think you could get Gordy a Servant? He still has the Command Spell!"
