Shinji Matou At Your Service

Chapter 548: Arrange funeral affairs

Views:

Of course Shinji wanted to call all his servants, make full preparations, and rush to the Sky Garden together to kill the damn Amakusa Shiro Tokisada with the number of people, but this was just a beautiful wish.

Without the Lesser Holy Grail, which served as the key, Shiro Amakusa's plan to destroy the world with the Greater Holy Grail failed, and the other masters and servants lost the possibility of fulfilling their wishes.

There may be only two people traveling with him - Artoria, who is his Servant and has the mission of restraining the force, and Jeanne, who is the Judge and intends to punish the culprit.

Although Jeanne still retains her privileges, now that the Holy Grail War is suspended, she will not use her privileges to force orders on Servants.

To put it another way, even if she is persuaded to use her privilege, it will not have any substantial effect. The right to force orders to the servants present is only once, and the masters except Shinji still have more than two strokes of the command seal, which can completely offset it and affect the current good relationship.

Since you can't force it, just go with the flow, arrange the people and things you care about, and then go to the battlefield without any worries.

That's right, everything Shinji has done so far is to "arrange his funeral affairs."

As a servant, it is my responsibility to fulfill my Master's wishes. So, help her heal her legs.

As a Servant, it is your duty to protect your Master. Therefore, if you are away and unable to perform your duties, you must arrange for a replacement.

Fiore trusted me very much, and was more like a friend than a master and servant. She even ignored her own safety and accompanied me in danger. Therefore, I couldn't let her take any risks.

Moreover, in order to make up for his previous deception and so that she can live a better life, Shinji will leave some useful things for Fiore.

In addition to Fiore, he will also reward those who are sincere to him and his servants.

"Corles, the gap between you and Fiore is not as big as you think. It's just that you are not suitable for the family's 'necromancy' magic, and your highest aptitude is actually magic related to electricity."

"Current?"

"Yes."

"How do you know this?"

"Just think of it as one of my special abilities."

Because of my arrival, a fate that originally belonged to you was destroyed, and that was the one that was most compatible with you.

"Well, the Qianjieshu family doesn't have much else, but there are as many lost magic traditions as you want. You can pick a related one and try it out. It won't take up much of your time, so why not give it a try?"

"Oh, oh."

"When you try, ask Mr. Chiron for advice. Although his magic ability is limited by his job, he still has experience and vision. With his guidance, you will get twice the result with half the effort whether you are learning or bringing forth something new."

"Assassin, you, I..."

Because he had previously blocked his sister's actions, Coles thought Shinji would be dissatisfied, but he didn't expect that he would be so wholeheartedly thinking about him.

"Okay, stop making that face. I'm not doing this all for you. You'll be able to support Fiore better if you're better."

As Shinji spoke, he walked closer to Koles, and finally leaned close to Koles' ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You and I both know that Fiore is actually very weak at heart and is not suitable to be a magician. But she really likes magic, so I'll leave some of the dirty work to you."

"I see."

"In fact, you are more suitable for the position of the head of the family than your sister. If your positions can be switched... Never mind, I shouldn't say what comes next. Just know it in your heart."

The leader of the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan, who had the highest emotional intelligence, opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Shinji patted his shoulder, walked towards Chiron behind him, and bowed deeply.

"Teacher. You are so wise that you can probably tell what I want to say and what I want to do, so I won't waste my words. Please leave everything to me."

Chiron is not like Atalanta who has a clear wish, nor like Achilles who wants to help Atalanta. He is more wise and has no desires. For such a person, Shinji can't think of any way to "drive" Chiron except to ask sincerely.

"It is the duty of a teacher to guide those who have lost their way."

Chiron was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Without Danic, the Thousand World Tree Clan was seriously lacking a brain. With Chiron's promise, the last shortcoming was made up.

Shinji bowed again and walked towards the next person, Mordred.

I haven't had much interaction with her, but for Altria's sake, it's better to make some things clear.

"Mordred, what is your wish?"

"What? You want to hit me like you hit Archer?" Mordred grinned, showing a few teeth, in a provocative manner.

"So what?"

"Then you may be disappointed. My wish is to challenge the 'Sword in the Stone' during the King Selection."

"Eh?"

Artoria was obviously taken aback by Mordred's wish and was about to say something, but Shinji beat her to it.

"Give up, you can't pull it out."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I, who inherited King Arthur's bloodline, can't possibly be unable to pull it out." Mordred looked unkindly, "Or do you want to say that I don't have the qualifications to be a king?"

Shinji shook his head: "It has nothing to do with bloodline, and nothing to do with the qualifications of a king."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"It's related to Merlin. Only Altria can pull out that sword. If I'm not mistaken, Merlin set it up this way when he was preparing for the 'Choose the King with the Sword in the Stone'. No matter how great the king is, it will be useless. Am I right, Altria?"

Although the secret of the king selection ceremony is Shinji's own speculation, it is not a random guess. According to his understanding of Merlin and his analysis of that special era, this answer is most likely true.

As expected, Altria acknowledged Shinji's statement:

"It's true. It was only a long time later that I confirmed this from Merlin."

"Tsk, that old liar who likes to play tricks, I must kill him if I get the chance." Mordred curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Uh, Saber." Shishi Jie looked at his Servant a little strangely, "You don't look lost at all?"

Mordred jumped up and down: "Huh? Is there something wrong with your eyes, Master? How can I not feel lost?"

"But you look, really—"

"Master, please look carefully!"

Mordred moved his face closer, but Shinji put his hand between them.

"Okay, stop pretending. The reason you're not upset is because your wish is not to pull out the 'Sword in the Stone' and become the King of Britain."

"So what do you think my wish is?"

"You really want me to tell you?" Shinji said with a joking expression.

Mordred gritted his teeth: "Speak, or I'll kill you!"

"I may not be able to express it accurately, after all, I don't quite understand the idiot's thoughts. If I have to say it, it's probably to pick up everything that Altria lost in order to become the king, and wait for her to unload the burden one day and smile as a human, not a king."
