"Father, is it too early to summon a Servant now? As far as I know, although my uncle's ultimate goal is not the Holy Grail, he still needs to participate in the Holy Grail War."
"After all, this is the [rule] of the Holy Grail War."
Standing on the left side of Matou Tsuruno, the next head of the Matou family, Matou Tsuruno's son, Matou Shinji, looked at Matou Kariya who was preparing, and asked his father a question.
Tohsaka Sakura, who had changed her name to Matou Sakura, stood on the right side of Matou Tsuruno, holding Matou Tsuruno's hand and looking at Matou Kariya with some curiosity.
Unlike the summoning circle made of blood that Kirei Kotomine summoned from this time, the summoning circle for Matou Kariya's summons this time was provided by his nephew.
That is Matou Shinji.
This medium full of magical power is a better choice than blood. Although the summoning of servants does not require such complicated and expensive steps, the summoning of servants has a deeper and more profound meaning for the Matou family itself.
It has great significance, so we have made so many preparations.
Putting Lawrence's portrait, "The Departure of the Giant" by Lawrence's only student Manlio Fedino Springer, in the middle of this huge summoning array composed of liquid gems, Matou Kariya
He took a few steps back and retreated outside the summoning array.
"Shinji, Sakura, sit down."
As Matou Tsuruno said, he knelt down and sat on the mat that had been placed in advance.
"Uncle Tsuruno, I remember that the first three summons of servants to Lawrence's ancestors all ended in failure. So, which servants did our Matou family summon in the first three times?"
Matou Sakura sat down obediently and asked Matou Tsuruno.
"The first three Holy Grail Wars? In the first Holy Grail War, we used the brush that our ancestors had used, but summoned the ancestor's teacher Andre del Verrocchio. In the second Holy Grail War, we
We used the works of our ancestors, but we summoned the leader of Florentine clothing innovation, Fiona Van Deller. Last time, we used the easel used by our ancestors, but we summoned our classmate Sandro.
Botticelli.”
As he spoke, Matou Heye sighed.
This is no luck.
".I always feel that maybe our ancestors don't want to respond to our call."
Shinji Matou, who was sitting on the other side, twitched the corners of his mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Shenji, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Boom!
"Ouch!"
Shenji held his head and curled his lips.
But it does feel like it
"Okay, Kariya is ready to start."
The old Matou Zangyan, who could hardly move, trembled and said to Kariya who was standing in front of the summoning array.
"I understand, Father."
Nodding, Matou Yanye pondered.
Then, he moved forward and stretched out his hand.
"I swear by gems, and my body is made of gold, stone, and vegetation."
The magic power and the summoning array have established a connection.
The summoning array suddenly emitted a bright light, just like the medium that made up the summoning array. It was even a little dazzling, completely different from ordinary summoning arrays.
"Use the pen to draw the spirit, hold the hammer to hammer the bones, and complete the body."
A figure appeared in the middle of the summoning array, but it was still very blurry, making it difficult to see its true face.
Matou Sakura stretched her neck curiously, trying to see clearly what was happening in the summoning array.
"Oh." Matou Zangyan's eyes widened slightly, looking expectantly at the center of the summoning array.
Matou Tsuruno did the same, swallowing his saliva, clasping his hands together in a prayer gesture.
"After its merits are hidden, its crimes come forward, flowing in our blood, and the nameless country we move forward——"
"Spiral on it, hoping to convey the seven wishes before the portal!"
Matou Kariya grabbed one of his hands.
"Stability, harmony, change, noise, calm, prosperity, shelter, followed by seven, almost invisible——"
He knew that the summoning had entered the final stage.
"Declare!"
His voice suddenly became louder.
"Your body is entrusted to my command, and my destiny is attached to your sword."
"Those who respond to the call of the Holy Grail and obey this will and truth, answer me."
"I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who brings together all the evil in the world."
"Seven days entwined with the three great word spirits, cross the wheel of suppression and appear!"
"The guardian of the scales!"
The left hand grabbed the right hand, and a strong wind blew. The two children couldn't help but cover their eyes, while the three adults all stared at the center of the summoning array with their eyes wide open.
Wow——
The summoned servant finally stood in the center of the summoning circle.
but--
Why a child?
Is it Lawrence’s ancestor when he was a child?
Matou Zouken, Matou Tsuruno, and Matou Kariya, who was responsible for the summons, all looked at the servants in the summoning array with blank expressions on their faces.
The child-like servant opened his eyes, looked at Matou Kariya, and smiled.
"Yes, yes! This is Caster's servant. His real name is Manlio Fedino Springer! Are you my master?"
Shinji Matou: "Manlio"
Sakura Matou: "Fedino"
Matou Kariya: "Springer.?"
Boom!
"Father!!!"
Matou Zangyan rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. Matou Tsuruno noticed something strange about his father and rushed over.
"This time, we failed again." Matou Kariya also knelt on the ground in disappointment, looking frustrated.
Manlio, who is still standing in the center of the summoning circle: O.o?
"Ahaha, it turns out that you wanted to summon the teacher, sorry, but you summoned me. Oh? That's not right? Why should I say sorry?"
After understanding what happened, Manlio first apologized, then suddenly realized something and looked at Matou Kariya angrily.
It's just that he looks like a child less than ten years old, so even if he is angry, he doesn't look aggressive?
On the contrary, it's quite cute.
"Sorry, Mr. Manlio! In fact, we are also mentally prepared, because this is not the first time we have failed." Matou Kariya bowed deeply to Manlio and expressed his apology.
"Didn't it fail the first time? What happened? What happened?"
Manlio sat on the chair and asked curiously.
"In the previous Holy Grail Wars, we used the holy relics of our ancestors, but they all failed. We summoned other servants. So this time, we want to find a new way and use Mr. Manlio to draw for our ancestors.
I wanted to summon the deceased’s portrait to see if I could summon my ancestors through this method, but..."
"Well, don't be discouraged. I think the teacher will definitely answer your call one day."
