Shinji Matou At Your Service

Chapter 955: Sorry, I'm a useless follower

Views:

"It's time for you to show off."

Hearing the girl's words, the male Servant of average height and average looks stroked his hair tied into a ponytail at the back of his head and let out a dry laugh.

"Um, Olga Marie—"

As soon as he called out the girl's name, she immediately frowned and corrected him in a cold voice.

"Don't say my name!"

"Animusphia?"

"Don't call me by my last name either!"

"Olga? Little Marie?"

"That's enough, Trisha. The person who can call me by that name is no longer here." A trace of sadness appeared on the girl's face. "Just like Archer and Luvia, call each other Master and job name. I'll call you Caster and you call me Master."

"I always feel that this is too strange. We are born from the same lotus and share the same destiny, right?" The man with the same job as Medea whispered.

"That's good. We're not that familiar with each other." Olga Marie raised an eyebrow. "Archer has shown his strength. Now it's your turn."

"Or, no, Master, how do you want me to behave?"

"Aren't you Caster? Just cast some magic over there to intimidate them."

"Uh, sorry, I don't have that long a range, shortening it by a few times is barely enough."

"How many times? That's not bad, at least more than a thousand meters."

Olga Marie's expression brightened up a lot. According to the information obtained from her father, who was the Lord of the Astronomy Department, even in the era when mystery had not yet faded, it was rare to find a magician with a range of more than one thousand meters.

However, within a few seconds, his expression, which had just improved, turned bad again because of Caster's next words.

"I'm sorry, I miscalculated. It's more than ten times... dozens of times?"

"Well! Isn't that just a few hundred meters or even a few dozen meters? I can do it."

"Ohhhh, Master is so amazing." Caster exclaimed exaggeratedly and clapped his hands.

"It's okay, no, that's not the point—are you really the King of Israel, Solomon? You are not kidding me."

"I really didn't lie to you, Master. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe this."

The servant suspected to be King Solomon stretched out his right ring finger, where he wore a golden ring. The shape looked very ordinary, just like a man.

"This is the ring I wore when I was alive. The only one who can be summoned with this as a catalyst is the Lord, besides me. Do you think I am the Lord?"

"... If you were God, those people in the church would have gone crazy long ago." Olga Marie made a rare complaint.

Although most modern magicians are non-believers, they still have sufficient understanding of various gods, especially the biggest boss behind their old rival, the Holy Church.

"So, I am Solomon."

"... "

Olga Marie was speechless. This ring was obtained by her father at a huge cost and has been hidden in the deepest part of the family secret vault. It cannot be fake. But how can this guy in front of her look like a king? There is no sign of his huge influence in the history of mystery.

"King Solomon is known as the 'Magic King' in the world of magicians. He commands the 72 Demon Pillars and is the ruler of all magic, including angels and demons."

If not, Olga Marie would not have chosen him as her Servant. If she was to summon, she would have to summon the strongest one!

This is what the pink-haired man responded to.

"That's not my own ability, it's the power of the ring. It's a divine tool given by the Lord, and with it, I can control all magic. The so-called 'Magic King' is actually just a misunderstanding by people who don't know the truth."

"The ring has been given to you."

"Yes, but only one. The Lord gave me ten rings, and only by wearing all of them can I become the master of magic."

"Then you should give it back to me. It's useless anyway."

Olga Marie stretched out her hand, and Solomon immediately withdrew his right hand.

"Don't say that. It is still useful. Although it is not complete, it can still exert the effect of controlling magic. One ring corresponds to one type of magic."

"Which one is this?"

"Scrying and prophecy. It can interfere with all kinds of magic related to scrying and prophecy. The place we chose has actually been set up with a scrying spell, but I blocked it. So, I am still somewhat useful."

To be honest, this skill is indeed very useful, but looking at Solomon's silly smile, Olga Marie felt unhappy.

"Hmph, can you please act like a king? Why do you look even worse than a little girl like me? Is this how you rule a country?"

"That's right." Solomon nodded as a matter of course, "Because the country doesn't need me to govern at all. I am a tool called the king, and I have been the link between man and God since I was born. My strength is given by the Lord, my wisdom is given by the Lord, and I carry out the will of the Lord, that's all. All the deeds you know about me are actually the credit of the Lord. I am just a decoration sitting on the throne, and the only thing I can do is to watch everything happening in front of me."

This was an extremely cruel answer. Olga Marie didn't want to believe it, but she had to, because the legend of King Solomon always had the shadow of God. Feeling indignant, she could only look at the Servant Panel in her mind over and over again, trying to find something to look forward to.

Attribute panel, no, except for magic and luck, the others are incomparable.

Skill...

Revelation, this is easy to understand, he said it is the bond between people and God.

Summoning, level EX, this looks very powerful... Uh, why can't I use it? Is it because the ring is incomplete

Clairvoyance, this is also EX and can be used.

"What about clairvoyance? Your special skill, the clairvoyance that sees through the past and the future!"

"Well, it's not as powerful as you think. Although I can see the past and the future, the time and place are very uncertain. It could be the next second, or it could be a hundred years later. And it consumes a lot of magic power. Master needs me to use it now, but there is no guarantee of what I can see, and you may become weak due to excessive magic power consumption."

Olga Marie was about to collapse. In her impression, King Solomon should be wise, great, powerful, and possess all the good halos, but the reality was indeed so ridiculous and even pathetic.

"You, you you you you you—you are such a useless Servant! Useless useless useless!"

"I'm sorry, I'm a useless Servant." Solomon admitted this reality in a gentle voice. "The real me, the me who has returned what the Lord has given me, is like this. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Master. Strictly speaking, I am not worthy of the name Solomon now. Perhaps it would be better to change my name... Well, let's call me Roman. I think this name is good."

PS: The FGO world line is the old director plus the uncontaminated Holy Grail, and here it is the contaminated Holy Grail plus little Mary. It is not difficult to understand that Solomon, who has no pursuit, enters the funny mode and lets himself go.

PS2: To be honest, I always think Olga Marie and the Doctor are the best match, better than the big bitch. It's a pity that Olga Marie likes Leif, because the Doctor is the one who has always been by her side and supported her silently (for ten years). I hope that in the end, I can give them a good ending. Screw Goetia, screw your Demon Pillar, screw your Leif!
