"It might be better if you went after this spear instead, are you certain it will be effective?" While you don't specifically want to kill Merlin, he's the sort of person who doesn't actually die when he is killed, so you don't really care all too much about the idea of it. If he does prove to be an actual enemy, you aren't about to hesitate when it comes to sending him back to Avalon.

"Certain enough. While I'm not allowed to know the full capabilities of the spear, it is the greatest artifact possessed by the Holy Church right now, in a way, you could consider it to be one of the artifacts of the Church that actually balances out the Seven Superweapons of Atlas that the Mage's Association have locked away. The only information I have about it is that it apparently rewrites destiny somehow, but I haven't got any more information than that." Ciel doesn't look entirely too pleased about the hierarchy of the Burial Agency preventing her from knowing more. It's kind of strange that somebody like Ciel is kept so low on the ranks of the Burial Agency, she's powerful enough to face off against Servants if you remember correctly, and she's immortal to boot.

"Alright, then it's settled. Send your man after the spear. You're sure he'll be capable of actually getting it?" As you think about things, you quickly realize just who the man Ciel is talking about is, could she be talking about Enhance? If you remember correctly, he's the one who Ciel has steal the Black Barrel for her. Man, the guy must have infiltration skills above the levels of an Assassin class Servant if he can break into Atlas Academy or as Ciel seems to believe, the vaults of the Holy Church.

"I'm certain. He's broken into the vaults of the vaults of the Church once before, actually. That's how we first met." Oh man, this really is Enhance, isn't it? Well, whatever, if he can actually get the Spear, which really can't be anything other than the Lance of Longinus, seeing as how little Ciel seems to know about it given the information on it being restricted. You had no idea that the Church would've had such a powerful artifact stashed away! You knew they had some incredible items stored in their vaults, but the Lance of Longinus should be one of the greatest weapons on the entire planet! And... you're about to have it stolen. Ah well, it's not like the Church wasn't already going to be opposed to you as a result of having Ciel defect and because of the oni and vampires in your faction.

"Well, I guess that settles that. We're going to be stealing from the Church." The three girls from the Arthurian Era don't really seem to care all that much about the idea of stealing from the Church, and neither does Shirou, for that matter. "How fast can we expect him to actually get his hands on it and get to Japan?" Haste is key after all.

"When I give him the message, it shouldn't take any more than twenty four hours. It's not like he even sleeps either. In fact, I'll go send out the message now." Ciel gets up and begins to leave the room before she turns back to you. "I'll meet you at your house in Fuyuki tomorrow with it, I have a few things I need to take care of before I leave Misaki Town. Take care." Ciel leaves the room without any more words exchanged. Well, at least you won't need to find her a bed. You wonder what she's going to do in Misaki? Last you checked, there shouldn't be anything of any note left in the town for her. All the vampires should be gone now.

"Well then, everyone. I think that's about all. I need to go to bed now, sorry about waking the two of you up, Saber, Shirou. Sorry about waking you up as well, Mordred." Morgan however wasn't asleep, probably, so you aren't going to apologize to her for that. "We'll talk more about recent developments tomorrow, and of the summoning of Morgan especially, though Morgan has promised to try to make amends for her past actions."

"I'll be keeping an eye on her all the same." Saber says coldly. Looks like she's only really permitting Morgan's presence because of the potential that Merlin has become her enemy. Well, that works, you suppose. An alliance formed through wariness of an enemy may eventually allow the two of them to properly reconcile. Though Morgan does have a long way to go, and it's unlikely that Saber will be very pleased if she finds out about the plan with Gray and the Corpse King, no matter what Morgan's intentions might've ended up being.

With that, everyone begins to return to their quarters. You included. Morgan goes out to the garden once again, apparently wanting to be close to nature or something, Shirou and Saber return to their rooms, and Mordred just sort of stays in the lobby. You return to your room to find Betty still lying fast asleep on your bed, and you yawn tiredly. It's been a really damn long day, and even if you're not going to get much sleep, you really need to get at least some sleep in.

You collapse on the bed next to Betty, not even bothering to change out of your suit, and almost immediately fall asleep.

Something feels wrong.

You find yourself standing in the middle of a field, near a tree. A bracing wind sweeps past you and the skies are completely clear. There appears to be somebody standing underneath the tree, though you can't figure out who it is from here, they are clearly a young girl. The figure from underneath the tree seems to be waving at you and trying to get you to come over to them, but for some reason you keep feeling the urge to look behind you, though a sense of unerring dread is telling you not to do so. Strangely, there's another figure, standing further away from you. You can barely make them out, and they appear to be staring upwards into space. Something is wrong with this dream. The grass is still despite the wind, the tree remains motionless, there is no sun in the sky, you feel like something is watching you. Something sinister, and something... powerful.

Is this a dream?

Some Outer God is the most likely candidate since the only other time Shinji was really spooked was Primate Murder.
Although Altrouge showing up to give Shinji wet dream is kind of funny idea.
>Go see the girl under the tree.
Manaka.
Or we could be inside Betty`s dream and it is actually her.
Very small chance for Len.
>Go see the man staring into space.
Somebody aligned to Alaya and/or Gaia. Probably Merlin or Zelretch.
If we are deep inside Outer Gods territory it could also be Randolph Carter.
>Do nothing.
Status quo and refusing to take sides.

Potential option to do something like using Reality Marble to summon somebody here or twist place to our favour?

Well she’s the only one of them actively getting our attention isn’t she.
Girl in the root, could be Manaka alright... or it could be Gaia?

Could also be meaning something else’s entirely, like attuning to our capabilities. In that case chasing girl might be the worst idea bar doing nothing...

LET THE MAN DREAM

You ignore the girl underneath the tree. For some reason, you feel more inclined to go and see the man staring into space. You slowly make your way over to the man, surprised by your own slowness before eventually you are standing directly in front of the man. The man looks down at you and smiles as he raises a hand to his face. "Let us do away with the veneer this dream is based upon, shall we?" He snaps his fingers and the grassy field disappears, and so does the man.

The world shifts completely, and you soon find yourself standing upon a rock floating through a cosmos of stars and planets. A booming voice echoes around you. "You've spoken with the girl, and you've spoken to the will. But we've yet to properly introduce ourselves to each other. So let us do away with the deceit, shall we? I am the being you may know as Nyarlathotep, and you are of great interest to both myself and my father." You can only blink in surprise at the sudden change of scenery. "You call yourself Shinji Makiri, yet in truth you are beyond the dream of reality, in some ways you could be called an Outer God yourself, if not for your inability to truly manifest a physical form in this reality." An Outer God? "While the others of my kind would've also liked to have met you themselves, the presence of my father within his host was enough to keep them away." Well, this is bad.

"What do you want, then?" You decide to keep your question simple, you need to know just what Nyarlathotep wants, and you can't afford to be awestruck or fearful of the Outer God.

"Straight to the point, aren't you? But I suppose I cannot blame you, my human avatar does enjoy himself too much sometimes, so I'll speak clearly instead." Wait a second... Human avatar? Alan!? "I wish to request of you the destruction of the girl who has stolen power which doesn't belong to her. The girl who may very well become an Outer God of her own right if she is allowed to continue on her current path. I speak of the one you know as Manaka Sajyou." The booming voice seems to spit the name with disgust. "The girl with a connection to the Root who wishes to use you in order to complete her apotheosis to become truly supreme over this reality all and all others connected to it." Nyarlathotep doesn't sound at all happy by the existence of Manaka, you wonder what she's done that has managed to annoy an Outer God to this level.

"Manaka...?" Manaka is trying to become an Outer God? That's... deeply troubling. "But if you want to get rid of Manaka, can't you just do it yourself?" It's Nyarlathotep, while you understand that out of all of the Outer Gods, he seems to dislike using his true power the most, he should still be powerful enough to easily deal with somebody like Manaka.

"I could certainly do such a thing, though I am uncertain I could manage defeating the girl without manifesting my true form upon your planet and destroying it entirely, and it is difficult to recreate a humanoid form that the planet accepts. While my human body is powerful enough to deal with a few Servants, the girl herself has already reached beyond that level. To put it in a way that might mean more to you, Manaka Sajyou is at the level of a Beast through stealing strength that doesn't belong to her." A Beast? You knew that Manaka was strong, but to already be at the level of a Beast? Just what the hell has she been doing? Does this apply to both of the Manaka under the temple, or just one of them?

"So you want me to deal with Manaka for you, is that it? I hope you don't mind me asking, but what exactly do I get out of this arrangement? Sounds like you're just asking me to deal with something you yourself are incapable of." You aren't just about to become an errand boy for an Outer God, even if you were planning of getting rid of Manaka anyway.

"Never would I have thought a being like yourself would've existed, in your current state, I could destroy you with but a thought, yet you are acting with such bravado." Nyarlathotep seems to be trying to intimidate you now, but you honestly aren't buying it.

"Yeah, but you need me to do something for you, so for all your power, you need me right now, so you can't kill me." It's a confident statement and one that has a chance of backfiring spectacularly if you've misread the conversation, but Nyarlathotep clearly wants you to do something, and he seems to have gone through considerable effort to meet you.

The booming voice laughs wildly. "True enough. True enough. If you wish for compensation, then how is this. If you prove yourself a capable agent, I shall teach you how to achieve apotheosis." Apotheosis? Like... becoming a God? "Or if you don't wish such a thing, I suppose I could agree to fulfilling a request."

>"No deal."
>"I'm going to be dealing with Manaka anyway, but I don't want to be tied down by any deal with you."
>"Alright, I'll help you out, but only with this Manaka issue. Don't expect me to become some sort of herald of the Outer Gods."
>"What sort of requests of mine could you fulfill?"
>Write-in...

>"If you are keeping track of my person then you are surely aware I'm already looking for a way to deal with the girl myself. Why approach me and offer anything at all?"

well technically we're the one approaching here but still. He did specify destruction of the girl, so maybe neutralizing her in another way is possible yet not palatable to him?

>>4673871
>"I'm going to be dealing with Manaka anyway, but I don't want to be tied down by any deal with you."
You offer us a cheat code for becoming a God, Nya? Who do you take us for? A fucking casual!?

But in all seriousness I feel like it's a terrible idea. Considering it would probably turn us into something akin to an Outer God, which is far from ideal.

>>4673871

This is a flash vote.
>Yes

Call in 15 minutes

Apotheosis might not be the worst idea. If there are no big strings attached to it by Nyarly.
It would allow us to fully utilize our powers and remain partially independent from any other major players.
It is probably long process which we decide not might follow through at all.
Plus it would allow us to maintain power balance with those all crazy powerful women who are after us.
But if cost of it is to potentially became enemy of both Alaya and Gaia and getting banished from the world it is certainly not worth it since just taking deal from Alaya will give us much more with more lax terms.
If they want from us to be to do diplomatic attache job or take mediator role regarding further cases like Manaka here, Salem Singularity or hunting run away lesser spawns it could be also beneficial to Alaya and Gaia as well provided both parties here are not interesting in a fight and would like to have less antagonistic atmosphere.
After all Foreigners do work for Chaldea and to a benefit of humanity.

Well, first you'd need to find a way to summon or resurrect Hitler somehow. If only there was some sort of person with an ability that makes rumors manifest into reality...
But asides from that, it's a fun scenario, but unlikely to occur any time soon. Even if Hitler would make for a fairly amusing Servant to write depending on what class he is summoned into.

>>4674008
Here's another scenario: Lancer Vlad versus Night of Wallachia

>>4673973
>>Yes

>>4674011
Lancer Vlad vs Night of Wallachia would end up in a mirror match as TATARI would basically just copy Legend of Dracula through proximity to Vlad
Wallachia isn't the sort of enemy that can be defeated through physical strength alone.

>>4674008
Oh yes.
Secret ending with fight between Avatar of Shiva Churchill vs Hitler possessed by the spirit of ancient Aryan Warrior-King vs Specter of Communism for the battle of heritage of Hyperborea hidden somewhere in between Ural Mountains and Shambhala by the Mistress of the Copper Mountain.

Better ask Amour instead.

"A question... Does this apply to both of the Manaka under the temple, or just one of them? One of them seemed to be more outwardly hostile, after all." The one with the noticeable stab wound through her chest, and also the one who seemed far more enthusiastic about things.

"Only one of the girls is attempting to usurp power that doesn't belong to her, the other seems to be an observer. One is native to this branch of time, where the other has trespassed into it. As a result, while it would be preferable for the girl to be obliterated from all timelines to neutralize a potential threat to the stability of reality, it is not necessary." Oh, well, some good news for once! Only one of the two lunatics under the temple is actively threatening the stability of reality!

"Well, that's some good news. But another question... If you're keeping track of me, then you must've known I was already plotting against Manaka, so why approach me and offer me anything at all?" It's a big question. Why exactly would Nyarlathotep even bother? He must know that you are going after Manaka regardless of whatever else happens, so why would he make an offer?

"Because the potential of your failure against the girl is still high, and I wished to remind you of the urgency of things. If she is not stopped within a week, she will be able to finish her current ritual and be too powerful to stop for anything on your planet, and she won't bother to wait for you to come to her to use you as her means of becoming an Outer God and attempting to usurp control of the dream of existence. The only reason she has yet to leave the temple is that it is currently under the influence of powerful bounded fields that blind the planet to her existence." Oh... Well that's bad. That's... really bad. You've only got a week to stop the end of reality?!

"Well, that's... not good." You try to keep your face neutral as you take in the fact that you've only got a week to stop Manaka. Hopefully you can figure out a way to stop her in time. Though the fact that even Nyarlathotep isn't all too confident in your odds of success right now is telling you that you might need to play along with her game in order to amass enough strength to stop her. "What... sort of requests can you fulfill anyway?"

"Practically anything you can imagine." Nyarlathotep sounds kind of insulted by the idea that his powers might have some sort of limit. "The powers I command are nearly infinite, and none in the material universe can match what I am capable of." Well, you suppose you should've been expecting that.

"Well, great. One... last thing. Oh man, this might be a mistake, but you don't know if you'll ever get a chance to mention it again if you keep quiet now! "Are you aware of the Advanced AI of the Mooncell, BB?" Well, now you've said it, so you might as well carry on. "In at least one branch of time, she-"

"-Will be summoned by the Chaldea Security Organization and will eventually come into contact with a fragment of me through the usage of Chaldea's observatory and will attempt to claim some of my power for her own?" Nyarlathotep cuts you off. "Don't act so surprised. Do you really think that I wasn't aware of the futures of the other branches of time? It is only this specific branch which has a future that cannot be observed. Those with clairvoyance would only be capable of peering into similar futures under the illusion that it is the same, but due to your existence in their future, they were never truly looking into the future of their own worlds." Well, that's taken a lot of the wind from your sails. You were hoping you would get to surprise Nyarlathotep with that information, but then again, you suppose that trying to surprise a literal Outer God with forbidden knowledge was a long shot anyway. "This BB, as you called her, she had thought she had managed to steal a portion of my power against my will, but in truth, I merely allowed her to become a host of my power, But I ought to thank you for the reminder... it is... always good to have additional agents." The booming voice begins to chuckle ominously.

Then, there's a flash of purple light in front of you, and you leap backwards in surprise, almost tripping and falling off of the rock! The light soon clears, and in front of you is a silver purple haired tanned girl wearing a white leotard with an oversized red ribbon, along with a large black and red cape. Of course, she looks almost exactly like Sakura... Did... Nyarlathotep seriously just summon BB?!

"H-huh?" The girl looks around her at the cosmos as they pass by for a moment in utter bewilderment, before her gaze is fixed on you. "So, you're the worm who called me away from Hawaii? You've got quite some nerve to try to ruin my good time! Wait a minute... I think I know your face..." What the hell is going on?! Are you really going to have to deal with BB now?!

"H-hey now! You've got the wrong idea! I didn't summon you!" This is really turning out to be a complete and utter nightmare. You would've given your left arm not to have to deal with BB in your entire lifetime, but here she is, seemingly summoned as a result of your own big mouth.

"That's right. I did. You borrowed power from me, and I allowed it, so now you shall serve me until I have decided your debt has been paid." Nyarlathotep decides to finally reveal his presence to the confused girl who stole some of his power.

"My debt? I don't know who you think you are, but-!" BB starts looking around for the source of the voice as she cheerfully denies any knowledge of who she's talking to.

"SILENCE!" BB's eyes go wide as the tentacles that she usually commands bind her mouth and prevent her from uttering any more words. "You will aid me, or I will have the power I allowed you to borrow erase you on a conceptual level. Do you understand, artificial intelligence?". Nyarlathotep sounds especially disgusted by the word 'artificial intelligence' for some reason. Though you have no idea why. BB for once looks terrified and simply nods her head. "Good." Without another word, BB disappears in a flash of purple light.

"W-what just happened?" Where you were trying to not allow yourself to get spooked, it looks like Nyarlathotep suddenly throwing a hostile BB in your face has managed to get to you. Just how powerful is he?!

"You gave me a good opportunity to demonstrate some of my powers to you." The voice chuckles. "You needn't worry about the AI. If she does as I command her, I will return her to her proper place and branch in time." You finally understand just how powerful the being you're talking to is. When you compare Nyarlathotep to even something like Alaya, Alaya is but an insect in comparison. "Now, about our business with Manaka Sajyou. I trust that you'll deal with her?"

>"I will, but after that display, I'd rather not make a deal with you."

Medea already suffered too much. The fact that we didn't pick her the first time was bad enough.

>>4674373
she's gonna be pissed when she realizes how many people are clinging on to us after she was gone for like, 2 days

>>4674373
I want to give her more than just the first kiss.

>>4674373
If she wants she can the rest of our first times. It's our welcome back gift.

>>4674356
Was not even here for it but I am in favor of the Medea fagging

>>4674356
Most of us want to marry and kiss Medea. Myself included. That and she will be a useful ally to get back.

>>4674391
I honestly didn't realize how popular she was, makes sense since she always gets fucked over in the original VN and deserves to be happy

>>4674440
she has a shit ton of utility, she's one of the most useful servants to have because of it, plus now that we have Morgan, we can summon that dragon and get a Magic Core

"I will endeavor to see to the destruction of the Manaka who is a threat." You don't quite know how exactly you should approach the problem of the other Manaka. She's not an active threat to reality itself, but she's a potential threat, as Nyarlathotep called her. Well, you'll see about it when you next deal with her, you wanted to ask Nyarlathotep one last thing... "Also, if you want me to defeat Manaka, then... is it in your power to free my allies from her clutches?" With any luck, you'll be able to remove the only thing Manaka can hold over your head entirely.

"It is, but... I shall only free a single one of them, consider it an acknowledgment of the agreement we have made today." Nyarlathotep seems to agree to your request, but not entirely, unfortunately. "Which of your allies will you like me to free?" Nyarlathotep asks, his booming voice echoing about you. You'd really prefer if he just took physical form in front of you, but there might be some reason behind him remaining invisible to you.

"Medea. I want you to give me back my Servant." There's not really even a question as to who you ask for. While you do feel bad about leaving Monica in captivity, if any of those taken captive will be able to aid you in defeating Manaka, it's Medea. Besides, when you get Medea back on your team you'll be able to completely negate travel time through her ability to teleport you back to Fuyuki!

"Very well, It is done." There's no fanfare or any discernible event that shows Nyarlathotep did anything at all, but for beings as powerful as he is, you suppose there's no need for such things really. "I will warn you however, that the girl is going to be displeased by finding that her captives keep going missing." Oh yeah, Rin escaped too, didn't she? Well, you suppose that negotiations with Manaka might be a little more difficult as a result of this, but you suppose that you can just deny any knowledge of how Medea escaped. "I shall be watching your progress very closely..."

The dream ends just like that, and you wake up in bed, a quick glance at the alarm clock tells you that you barely managed to get five hours of sleep, but you feel remarkably well rested despite that. You get out of bed excitedly, and immediately manage to trip on something laying on the ground. Or rather... someone. Regardless of the source of your fall, you still manage to slam into the wooden floor quite hard. If you couldn't regenerate from practically any wound you're certain that your fall would've left a bruise. You quickly get up off the floor in order to look at what caused your fall, and you can't help but smile softly when you see her.

Laying there on the floor, now stirring from her sleep, is Medea. It seems like Nyarlathotep help up his end of the bargain quite admirably. You're thankful that you weren't wearing any shoes, and as a result managed to avoid hurting Medea... Though as she's a Servant, it's unlikely that you would've even managed to hurt her like that anyway. Still, she looks so fragile it's only natural that you instinctively want to protect her from harm.

As she opens her eyes to look up at you, she begins speaking weakly. "Master...? Is that you?" There is hope in her eyes, though that hope is masking a fear that she is simply imagining your appearance or hallucinating events.

>"Yes, Medea. It's me."

"Yes, Medea. It's me." You can't keep the smile from your face as you look at the woman staring back up at you. You've not even been separated from her very long, a few days of time away from each other, but even still, it feels like you've been kept apart for a month. It's only now that you have lost Medea for a short amount of time that you truly realized how much you valued her.

You exchange no further words with her as you offer your hand to her to help her up from the floor. She quickly takes the offered hand and you pull her back to her feet, before you embrace her in a sudden hug. Medea lets out a quiet noise of surprise as you hold her tightly. It only takes a few seconds for Medea to reciprocate with her own hug, and the two of you stand there silently holding each other for a moment.

"I've missed you so much, Medea." While you can't say that you've spent every waking moment thinking about how to get her back, that's only because you kept managing to be caught up in increasingly more stressful and attention consuming circumstances. Honestly! You ended up killing two of the Dead Apostle Ancestors for good in the span of twenty four hours! You ended up making Mordred the King of Britain! She summoned Morgan! The list goes on and on.

"I... have missed you also, Master." Medea's voice is soft as she speaks into your ear. "I was unable to maintain my consciousness for most of my captivity, but I could still feel the passage of time." Medea's voice is sad as she mentions her time imprisoned beneath the temple.

"I'm... Sorry. I'm sorry that I didn't get you out first. I had to-" You start trying to explain your actions to Medea. You really do regret not being able to save her back then, but at least it doesn't sound like Manaka was interested in making those she had captured suffer in any way.

"I understand, Master. You did the right thing." Medea says reassuringly into your ear as she accepts your apology in an instant. You freeze for a moment, not expecting forgiveness to come so easily, is she really going to accept you for what happened without even needing an explanation?

"I... Did?" You weren't expecting her to be so accepting of not being chosen to be freed first, but you aren't about to complain. You are however left wondering just why she's so ready to accept your apology.

Medea breaks away from the hug to smile at you, before she goes into an explanation of events. "Before I totally lost my consciousness, I determined that the energy of one of the girls was... not of this world. Similar to that of your Servant. As for rescuing Avenger, I understand that you... had a promise to keep." She doesn't sound as happy about you choosing Avenger over her, but she still sounds as if she's accepted that you wouldn't want to break your promise.

"I'm... glad that you aren't holding this against me... I just want you to know that I didn't abandon you. I'll... I'll never abandon you, Medea." You find yourself quite incapable of controlling your emotions as you once again embrace the woman. You are overwhelmed with guilt now that you find yourself face to face with the woman, even more so in that she isn't even trying to hold what you did against you at all.

"I know, Master. I trust you to keep your word." Medea tries to comfort you before you start uncontrollably weeping at your own failures or something, though you manage to maintain enough of a grip on yourself so that you don't make a complete fool out of yourself. You eventually end the hug and try to straighten up your clothing a little bit.

"Quite a lot has happened since you were taken captive, by the way." You decide it might be best to change the topic of conversation over to one that doesn't make you feel so guilty. "We don't have all that much time, so I'll give you a recap of all that has happened over breakfast along with everyone else. Though... there are a few new faces that you might not recognize, so don't be alarmed." As you make to leave the room with Medea in order to head to the Tohno dining room, you notice that Betty is still asleep. You could wake her up now, or you could leave her sleeping and wake her up when it's time to leave Misaki Town. Of course, now that you've got Medea back, returning to Fuyuki should be as simple as just asking her to teleport you back to your home. As far as you're aware, Medea doesn't have any sort of range limit on her ability to teleport others.

That's where the pots and pans are at.

>>4674636
>>4674635
Literally nobody in this entire quest has ever told Shinji he did the right thing and they forgive him for his actions up until now. NOBODY. Not even Sakura, if I remember right. Not even Monica. This alone makes Medea best girl. I wonder how much more this Shinji will take before he snaps, and how he'll snap when (not if) he does. He also got spooked multiple times in a short timespan.

Anyways, my vote
>Carry the sleeping Betty to the dining room.
Be as nonchalant as possible about carrying a small child or carry Betty as if she was Shinji's own daughter, and watch as all the girls are struck by how fatherly he's acting, thinking about the future with him :^)
>If you have any preferences over what you want Shinji to have for breakfast, just mention it in your vote.
Pancakes, some fruit, several glasses of water and some juice because Shinji is a martial arts expert and knows to stay hydrated like a motherfucker (no coffee needed). Simple as

I don't feel too comfy about the BB thing and I feel the Medea reunion was a bit overdramatic, but I'm happy we got her back!
Hopefully, Manaka isn't too petty about her losing her leverage and doesn't start torturing Monica or something.
Low key happy you also can't guilt-trip us with images of Medea anymore! At least now you'll have to go out of your way to find images of Monica to make anyone feel bad about our totally valid choices!

Also, now that you've actually got Medea back, I'd like to hear if any of you have any big plans, aside from the dragonblood plan, which I assume you'll be wanting to go ahead with at some point now.
Of course, if there is enough blood for more than one person to take part in the ritual, who else would you want to give a power-up to?

I would like for it to be people that are committed to helping or being allied to Team Shinji in a purely platonic way.
No waifus! Only Brotherhood!
So Shirou for sure. Number one best buddy and coolest pal a guy can ask for.
Giselle, get that nice maid upgrade. No, I don't consider her a waifu. She's our maid and martial arts student.
SHIKI if he wants it since he seems to be forever indebted to Shinji.
I'd say Monica for sure, but she probably won't be around for when we do it.
Maybe Rin, but I doubt she'd accept since it's an offer from us. Asking is the brotherly thing to do though.

Honestly despite everything, Shinji doesn't have that many people that are on his side that don't wanna smash his pelvis to powder and are god tier powerful in their own right.
We need more bros guys...

I'd also consider Miyako too, if we ever got around to teaching her like we said we should.
But there's no way of knowing if she's just as cock crazy as the rest, or if we'd be able to get her on our side fast enough to involve her.
This is also assuming we have a ton more blood than I think is implied we can get our hands on. She's sorta bottom of the list, only above Rin.

>>4674738
>We haven't done anything for Sakura to forgive, have we?

Also i'm curious where the fuck BB is.

>>4674664
Yes.
I hope we reach a time where we can just chill with our friends/lovers/whatever.

>>4674737
Shirou, Rin already has enough circuits and Sakura already has enough powers ups, Shirou needs the boost

>>4674845
don't the blood also gives a lot of defense

>>4674847
Yes, 2 or 3 different heroes from around the world bathed in Dragons Blood and they all got greater defenses (barring one of them who closed his eyes when bathing in the blood)

>>4674852
then i guess rin would made some use of it, all of our human allies so they don't die as easily.

>>4674855
If its for 2 people, I think us and Shirou is the best choice, us because it would further empower our already absurd abilities and Shirou because the Magic Core would likely be the boost he needs to trace Divine Constructs like Excalibur without dying. If we can pick a 3rd person then Rin is the best choice, she's kinda defenseless and needs a power boost

I just realized that we should create Zelretch's Jewel Sword, we might be able to perfect it even further and if Rin gets the dragon blood power boost, she'd be able to better spam it

>>4674636
>Carry the sleeping Betty to the dining room.
>>4674527
Nyarly is great.
>>4674664
It is nice to have Medea back and that we still on good note with her.
>>4674737
Shirou definitely.
Ciel, Giselle and SHIKI are also the ones who would also benefit the most out of it.
Illya and Rin could use a boost but just making them use kaleidosticks would cover most of their weaknesses.

>>4674881
Ciel and SHIKI are immortal and have Roa's techniques, they’re fine

>>4674881
Ciel and SHIKI can't even die.

Yeah, I think Shirou is the best balance between needing it for survivability and being able to make use of the physical enhancement.

i want to FUCK medea

>>4674902
yeah same my dude

Question.
Would Drangon's Blood even work on Sakura?
Is she just doomed to be utterly unaffected by magic? If so we really need to find some way to keep her safe because she's one most vulnerable person on our squad given she can't be speed healed.

>>4674951
Even if she wasn't imbued with nullification, I'm not sure it would work due to her connection with Tiamat.

Speaking of other options.
We could try to make Satsuki bath in dragon blood. Plus we now have enough energy to apply concept to her Reality Marble.
Those two things alone should be enough to boost her to the level of 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors even without training.
And since Second Saber place is technically now vacant we could try to cheat and ask Medea to try and summon something.
>>4674889
>>4674896
But it would generally make them much better frontline fighters.

>>4674972
Yeah but they don't need it at all, Shirou and us are frontline fights and though we have a healing factor, we're not immortal and Shirou specifically has low quality magic circuits

>>4674636

>>4675116
I have no disagreement with this

>>4674655
Arc told she believe in Shinji

>>4674527
>>4674664
Yes and yes. I do hope this will not come back to haunt us (too badly) but regardless it will have been worth it.

>>4674737
Not sure if it counts as plan but we're gonna need to milk Medea for her temple experience. She said earlier the bounded fields were outside of her league and she spent her time there barely conscious but perhaps she could discern more now, especially that we have better idea what Manakas are doing.
Additionally, given our track record of letting ourselves into and leaving a mark on girls' private spaces, would it be a stretch to do the same to Manakas' territory? Admittedly they would not be as okay with us coming inside as Sakura and Satsuki were so it would probably be good to drain Medea's dragon for juices first. Another question would be what sort of alteration we could make that would allow us to weaken Manaka and recover remainder of our allies.

Alan said their bounded fields are keeping Gaia oblivious of Manakas' scheming. Does that mean if we disrupted them the planet would excise her? But that would probably mean our allies would go with them. It would be good if we got a chance to talk with voice of planet too.

Another thing I'm wondering is Merlin's ability to throw us around with no apparent effort. We really need to do something about this, or else we're going to have to rely on ourselves assuming Gil's bracelet works as advertised, since only one person can wear it at a time unless we can reverse engineer and duplicate it - perhaps that would be an option with Morgan and the other experts in our group?
Aside from that, was it Merlin's own power he used, or was it authority of some other power? He did say power of a God, which is worrying.
And did he reveal his face just to be smug at us or because he needed us to recognize him for some reason?

Can't believe I missed the entire thread where we got best girl back.
We need to be careful with Dragonblood though, pretty certain that it might be able to make someone go full Vortigern.
We need to get our witches to start collaborating.
Touko, Medea and Morgan together.
Unstoppable

I think our first step upon getting back to Fuyuki should be gathering the rest of the Servants.
Then figuring out a method to either reverse altering or break her control of them.
Also is nobody else worried about BB?

>>4675388
>Also is nobody else worried about BB?
She's fine, I'm sure she'll get alon really great with Sakura. Right?

>>4675390
BB hates humans so probably not.
Don't think she's very fond of the original Sakura AI either.
She's a real pain in the ass but hopefully Nyarly has a tight leash on his new dog.
She's not as strong outside the Mooncell I think so we should be fine if she decides to try antagonizing us.
Man this is gonna make Mooncell Shenanigans even stranger.
We should have BB work on a Supervirus to give us complete control over the computer systems of the planet if we manage to get her on board.

I wonder what happened to the Chaldea Nyarly stole her from.

And tbf we should settle our relationship, one way or another, especially with Satsuki, considering she considers herself our girlfriend already.

>>4675419
Arc is more suited for it.

>>4675427
Do you want to visit Taiga Dojo so bad?

>>4675429
Well the fact that Satsuki is dependent on us forever for our blood pretty much confirms a harem.
>>4675431
She's suited for the job of Chief Wife Wrangler.

>>4675433
I think we've got good odds of success if we're completely transparent with them.
No need to be a pussy about it, and we need to one-up Shirou somehow.

>>4675434
>forever
you mean until we devampirify her.

Satsuki deserves better than to be forced to remain a bloodsucker.

>>4675433
They also will be waiting there you know?

>>4675437
Why would we want to take her cool powers away

>>4675436
>if we're completely transparent with them.
To say what? "Alright I decided to date you all?" We haven't even deicded if we will pick just one girl, a few, or all of them.

>>4675412
>forgot Ciel
Fuck!
Too many goddamn waifus!

>>4675441
Her powers are not result of her being a vampire. Her powers are the reason why she survived being turned in the first place.

>>4675442
Well between Medea, Sakura, Betty and Mordred, that's at least four characters that Shinji has agreed never to abandon or leave.

>>4675444
Seems like a waste of a good powerup
Dead Apostles have no cap like humans do.

>>4675450

Is that a good enough reason to make her require human blood for sustenance? Maybe for the duration of war, but even then it should be her choice as soon as we're able to restore her.

>>4675455
She only needs blood.
Any type of blood will do.
Doesn't have to be human.

>>4675465

Fair enough, I stand corrected. Regardless, I maintain that it should be her choice whether she wants to be that way, power up or no.

>>4675470
I'm sure she'll be raring to get rid of the thing that means she gets to see us and drink our apparently delicious blood every day.
Absolutely.

>>4675455
Dead Apostles aren't really inherently evil, they just start out really hungry and usually end up in a culture that encourages them to indulge in their worst impulses.
It's completely possible to be a "white" vampire if someone helps you through the early stages.

>>4675476
Yeah, and seeing how Arc has basically adopted Satsuki she'll be fine.
Hold on if Altrouge is Arcueid's sister doesn't that mean Satsuki is like her niece?

>>4675481
Yes

>>4675496
Should we get Satsuki to start calling her Aunt Arcueid to see how Arc responds?
This might be why Arc is being so nice to Satsuki.
Girl is practically family.

>>4675499
If she wants to, though I don't think Satsuki thinks of herself as having a vampire family.

>>4675476
Enhance is a good vampire, he apparently still has human eyes and a human smell still

Interesting results.

Anyway, calling and writing in 40 minutes.

Good morning.

>>4675443
>Didn't include Lugh
Weak.

>>4675412
Medea pretty handily yet we didn't pick her first against Manaka?

>>4675516
It might be hard to believe, but we don't base all of our decisions around waifus.

I suspect the poll results would have been different if it hadn't been posted right after one of the most Medea-friendly updates in quite a while.

>>4675521
Good one anon

>>4675407
>I wonder what happened to the Chaldea Nyarly stole her from.
He stole somebody's gacha roll.

>>4675541
But it's winter, so how could someone have rolled a summer servant?

>>4675570
Nyarles is above such concepts as time and space.

>>4675574
Not even an Outer God is more powerful than seasonal marketing.

>>4675580
What makes you think seasonal marketing and Outer Gods are two unrelated things?

You don't want to try to wake Betty up just yet, but you feel like it might be a little bit rude if you just left her in the bedroom all alone, so there's only one thing for it! You move over to the bed and lift Betty up with ease, holding the girl in a princess carry with ease. She's still as remarkably light as always, and you have no issues with carrying her all the way to the dining room, with Medea following close behind.

"This... doesn't look like your home, Master." Medea observes the differences in surroundings. "Something didn't happen while I was captured, did it?"

"It doesn't look like my home in Fuyuki because we aren't in Fuyuki right now, we ended up taking a detour to Misaki City due to the actions of one of the enemy masters, and as a result, we've dealt with a Dead Apostle Ancestor this town was having." You quickly explain to the woman, while you're going to recap the actual details for everyone at breakfast, Medea is sort of deprived of even the most basic information.

"Dead Apostle Ancestors? Here?" She sounds concerned, of course, the Dead Apostle Ancestors have been operating as a group for thousands of years now, and there are some remaining that actually were from the Age of Gods! It's unlikely that Medea ever ran into one of them in her life, but there's always a chance. "I must admit, my knowledge of Dead Apostles isn't all too comprehensive, in life they stayed away from me and I stayed away from them. They all knew better than to attempt to attack a wielder of Divine Words and somebody with blood from Helios running through their veins." Understandable, but somewhat regrettable, it seems that Medea's knowledge on Dead Apostles is limited. It's unfortunate that she likely hasn't got any specific anti-Dead Apostle spells, but you doubt you'll be running into any more of them any time soon. You wonder if it would be possible for her to call upon her divine blood from Helios to create something like an artificial Sun to weaken and destroy Dead Apostles...

"Yes, but they've been dealt with now, and we'll soon be returning to Fuyuki." Sooner than expected, thanks to Medea and her teleportation magic, thankfully. You've missed being able to make use of such utility. Her mastery of spacial magic is something you've missed greatly in the time she has been gone. Not being able to simply teleport where you want to go is kind of a hassle when you've experienced the ability once before... Perhaps it would be possible to learn how to teleport yourself? Truth doesn't seem to have many limitations in all honesty, and it might be possible to use it to create portals or to straight up change your location with it! Though it will probably require months of training and learning at least, even with Medea's tutelage, so it isn't exactly practical right now.

"Well, that's some unexpected but... good news? I look forwards to hearing just what happened over breakfast." Medea smiles at you, and you return the smile. You don't know what she's actually going to think of everything that you've been getting up to since she was imprisoned by Manaka, but with any luck she'll be able to provide some insight onto things that you might have otherwise overlooked.

Finally, you finish making your way to the dining room, pushing it open to see almost all of your allies with the exception of Rin and SHIKI sitting around a large rectangular table. Mordred is sitting at the table opposite Saber and Shirou, though Morgan is sitting next to her, so the general mood of thatpart of the table is... awkward, to say the least. Sakura is sitting with Arcueid and Satsuki, and the three of them appear to be making small talk, at least that's a sign that the three of them seem to be trying to get along a little better. Illya is sitting next to her Avenger, who is still wearing a suit, seems like Illya didn't want him to just be bare-chested for breakfast. Illya's maids seem to be assisting the two Tohno serving girls. Well, you hope that Akiha has properly dealt with Kohaku and put a stop to her mad wish for revenge on those who had already died. Meanwhile, Touko is sitting with Lugh, and Shiki and Aoko are sitting across from her. There's a brief pause as they notice that you've finally arrived, and that you've brought somebody with you that they weren't expecting.

You realize that you might actually have to think of a way to explain just how exactly Medea got out of captivity! You can't just tell them you made something like a deal with an Outer God, can you?

>"Good morning everyone. Caster is here too now."
>"Good morning everyone. Last night I managed to devise a one-use spell that allowed me to rescue Caster."
>"I made a deal with an Outer God last night, so now Medea is back."
>"I don't know how it happened, but Medea returned to me last night, I think a third party might've interfered with the girl under the grail."
>Write-in...

>>4675679
>"Good morning everyone. Caster is here too now."
We can go into specifics after breakfast.

>>4675679
>"Good morning everyone. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news are: Caster is back with a little help from Crawling Chaos and Merlin showing up last night is no longer big concern. The bad news are: entire reality might be unmade by the end of the week and Alaya, Gaia and Outer gods can only rely on us. And now to proper introductions...

>>4675679
>"Good morning everyone. Caster is here too now."

>>4675679
>I made a deal with an Outer God last night, so now Medea is back.
What the fuck? No secrets, enough half-lies.

>>4675690
Where's the lie?

>>4675679
>I made a deal with an Outer God last night, so now Medea is back.
We need to explain everything aside from the BB and Godhood stuff.

>>4675693
1st option is a lie by ommission, 2nd is a full blown lie, and 4th starts off with a bold lie that will bite us in the ass

>>4675679
>"I made a deal with an Outer God last night, so now Medea is back."

>>4675679
Good news, everyone! Medea is back and I have some new intel on how we need to prevent the world ending within the week!

Gonna support >>4675687 Or something in the same vein of announcing the news truthfully.

Our allies are not gonna be thrilled about us cutting deals out of this world but I guess there’s no better time than present.

By the way, since the next thing we're going to do is probably storming the temple for a second time. There is probably a way to save all of the Altered servants. Even without Rule Breaker, Ayaka was able to uncorrupt Proto SAlter, and knowing that it was an otome she probably pulled the true love card or some other kind of bs to uncorrupt him. Us having Rule Breaker makes things easier though, theoretically stabbing someone like Iskandar Alter with either Shirou or Medea's Rule Breaker can free him from the Blackening and make him our servant... as long as we have the Mana to sustain him? This is just a head theory that I have though.

>>4675756
If Iskandar is gonna be anyones servant, we gotta have it be our bro Waver.

>>4675687
Support. (Forgot to do this in my previous post)

>>4675811
It is possible to give away command seals to specific people, or produce the book of the false attendant to Waver if you want that to happen.

Where tf is Rin

>>4675816
Probably laying in her bed and sulking, or sleeping in since she is not a morning person. We really do need to cheer her up.

>>4675756
If at least two people can have magic cores then that should be enough to turn into the masters of 7 new masterless servants. Shirou might be able to snipe rule breakers

>>4675820
Yeah this is kind of important so after this we deal with her and try to make her feel better

>>4675811
When we're busy taking over Britain with Mordred, Weaver and Iskandar are founding New Macedonia. Mage's Association moves it's HQ to the capital soon afterwards.

"Good morning everyone!" You cheerfully greet your allies, as the ones who know that Medea shouldn't be present at all stare at her in confusion. "I have some good news to share with you, and... well some bad news as well! The good news is that with a little help from the Crawling Chaos, I managed to get Medea back from Manaka and Merlin is no longer a great concern!" Honestly, how could he be a concern when Manaka might end up destroying all of reality next week? Merlin might be an opponent that you're going to have to deal with, but he's nowhere near that level of threat. You quickly set Betty down on a free chair before you explain things further.

"The... what." Medea repeats in bewilderment, clearly not expecting you have gone to such extremes to get her out of Manaka's clutches. She's probably aware of the Outer Gods even if they weren't exactly that well documented back in her time. Well, you can only imagine she would've been. Though you aren't entirely certain of just what Earthbound Deities like the Greek Gods must've thought about the inter dimensional deities that dwarf them in power by about twenty orders of magnitude.

"Nyarlathotep. But, don't worry about that, for once the Outer God isn't the one who is the threat. No, last night I had a... revelation from him. Which brings me onto our bad news." The room is silent, waiting on your next few words. Obviously everyone who is aware of Nyarlathotep is clearly very worried right now, of course, that seems to be limited to the more supernaturally aware members of your faction. Aoko, Touko, Morgan, Lugh, Arcueid and Medea are all wide eyed right now. "The bad news is that we have about a week before reality unfurls and existence is destroyed utterly as a result of the girl under the temple achieving an apotheosis into an Outer God." There's a long dreadful moment of silence as your words sink in.

"You... You're not joking, are you?" Aoko is the first to get over the shocking declaration. "But... How is the world not aware of this imminent threat?" Her voice is dire, but she still asks a question as if asking for some sort of clarification about how such a thing is being allowed to go on by the will of the planet.

>>4675824
i just fucking realized that Iskandar and Mordred would get along like two peas in a pod

"Apparently, the girl set up some bounded fields that have shielded her from the view of Gaia and almost certainly of Alaya as well. Right now, we're all that stand against the end of reality at the hands of this insane girl." You take a deep breath. "I somehow doubt that the other timelines will be spared the effects of this apotheosis either. I believe that the Outer Gods are being that exist above such things as timelines, time should mean very little to beings that live outside of it entirely." Nyarlathotep didn't seem to have any difficulty in snatching even somebody like BB out of her own timeline with apparent ease. You wonder if you could've asked him to do something like move
Scáthach out of the Land of Shadows, though you don't know whether or not she would've appreciated that sort of thing. Still, it's kind of worth thinking about. "Now, with that revealed, can I still count on you all to help me?" Some of your allies might want to spend what might be the last week of their existence in their own way.

"Fantastic, Wakame-kun. It's just one thing after the other with this damn war, isn't it?" Touko covers her face with her hand before she starts laughing. "Vampires, extra Servants, Outer Gods, the End of Reality! This war really is just the gift that keeps on giving, isn't it? Ah well, I'm not planning on going out quietly. I take it you'll be joining us, Aoko? I doubt you'll be standing by for the End of Reality, right?"

"It's not really the sort of thing I can ignore, is it?" Aoko frowns. "Shiki, would you like to come with me? Your Mystic Eyes of Death Perception might come in useful against this girl trying to unmake creation." Aoko is probably right, you personally didn't want Shiki to feel pressured into coming with you, after all, he's not exactly the sort of guy who'd really go out of his way to save people. He isn't Shirou, and you feel guilty enough already after having barged into his house and been such an enormous hassle. Though you did manage to heal his anemia and hopefully get his Mystic Eyes under control for good.

"I'll... go with you. I can't just do nothing if something like this is going on in the background. I don't really feel like living the next week with the worry that I might cease to exist at any moment." Yeah, you can understand that. Looks like you might've ended up pressuring him into coming with you anyway.

Arcueid has her arms crossed and an annoyed look on her face as she speaks. "I think we should have a chat about just what sort of entities it is safe to talk to in the future, Shinji. But... I suppose this time I'll let it slide, seeing as the situation was far more dire than I had first imagine it to be." Arcueid takes a breath. "So it turns out you were wrong when you said you were battling to save the world after all, doesn't it?" There's a half-smile on her face. "You were in truth fighting to protect reality itself." Clearly Arcueid isn't happy with herself over the fact that she would've completely overlooked the potential destruction of everything had it not been for you.

"I'm also going too! I've got duties to uphold as an incarnated Elemental, you know? I'd be in a whole heap of trouble if I just ignored something like this!" Lugh gives his affirmation that he's going to be going with you as well. You're glad you'll be able to count on him for aid, he's one of your most powerful allies, after all.

"Advisor... It goes without saying, doesn't it? Of course I'll fight by your side." Mordred keeps her words brief, but she pledges her support to the cause of trying to save the universe. You're glad to have her support, even if you already kind of knew that she wasn't going to just stand by.

Morgan takes a deep breath. "It simply wouldn't do for reality to fall apart, so you can count on my aid." The fairy witch offers you her assistance as well. Unexpected, but you suppose that your words must've even reached Morgan if she's offering her actual aid here of her own accord.

"Well, what sort of a question is that?" Shirou speaks now, apparently annoyed that you felt the need to even ask the question in the first place "Of course Saber and I are going to help! I don't care what the source of your information is, we're the only people who can help save everyone, right?" Saber nods in approval of Shirou's words. Of course the two of them were going to help! Assuming otherwise would be like assuming that water wasn't wet.

"You can count on Avenger, my maids and I." Illya pipes in. "I've wanted to teach this girl a lesson since she tried to steal my Servant, and I'm not about to back out just because she might become powerful enough to destroy everything!" Illya's voice is defiant, she must hate Manaka despite never having once met her thanks to her attempted Servant theft. Not that you can blame her for it, losing a Servant is a truly horrible experience, as you've already found out for yourself thanks to Manaka's actions.
