Chapter 93: Big Brother and Little Sister!
[Current livestream points: 261,000 (including 100,000 points converted from gifts).]
[Can roll 260 times.]
[56 more rolls until guaranteed Heroic Spirit summon.]
"Then first, roll 56 times."
Let's see what's in the pity.
Ethan reached out his hand.
"Let it be declared now—"
Even inside Waver's Noble Phantasm, a silver summoning circle still appeared before his eyes.
Mana from the ley lines continuously gathered into it. Even Mash looked astonished, but she quickly reacted, raising her shield to protect Ethan in case of any unexpected events.
All sorts of strange items kept appearing on the ground.
A plush lion, a beach volleyball, a Griffin doll, discount coupons...
Seeing that the silver summoning circle was about to overflow, a sound from the system rang in Ethan's ears.
[Beep beep——Detected a Heroic Spirit actively responding to the summon. Do you choose to summon this Heroic Spirit?]
Just like with Mordred?
Ethan certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
"Choose!"
Without hesitation, Ethan immediately agreed.
No matter who the Servant was, as long as they responded to his summon, as long as they could become fighting power and join the battle, that was enough.
[Ding——————!]
[Confirmed host's selection, beginning summon of actively responding Heroic Spirit.]
Suddenly, a brilliant golden light burst forth from the summoning circle!!!
Holy shit, finally, a gold one!!!
Ethan watched as a figure gradually emerged before him.
"Oh, someone has finally summoned me. Rider, Sima Yi, has arrived."
A girl in a gorgeous dress appeared within the summoning circle.
"Se-Senpai… This seems to be no ordinary Servant!!!"
Mash instinctively took a step back, gripping her shield tightly as she positioned herself in front of Ethan.
"No need to be so tense. I'm here to help, at least for now."
The girl in the dress looked down at the pile of gacha byproducts at her feet.
"Oiya, Master's collection hobby is quite unique."
As she spoke, she stepped out of the messy pile.
"Sima Yi… Senpai, this is a Heroic Spirit from China? Why does she look European?"
Mash immediately turned to ask Ethan.
Ah, how should he explain this…
Ethan sighed. As expected.
In the end, he still triggered "Chain Summoning."
"Me? I'm just the Pseudo-Servant of Reines El-Melloi Archisorte. But this young lady here… her situation seems a bit more complicated."
Reines leaned in close to look at Mash, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, as expected, an interesting Saint Graph."
At the moment Reines stared at her, Mash suddenly felt a chill run down her entire body.
When Reines was summoned, the livestream audience finally exploded.
[You thought it was a Servant, Brother? But, it's me, Reines!!!!]
[Oooooh… It's Reines-chan!!!]
[Wait, why is Reines Sima Yi?]
[Didn't the host already say it? Waver is the Pseudo-Servant of Zhuge Liang, so isn't it obvious that Reines would be chosen by Sima Yi?]
[Waver once bought women's clothing for Reines to wear, and Zhuge Liang also once gifted a dress to Sima Yi, so it all checks out—perfectly reasonable!]
[She said she's a Rider, right? Why is she a Rider? Wait… I think I get it now!]
[The person above, what the hell do you get!!!]
...
[System: 'British Trouble Kid' has sent 100 Saint Quartz!]
[Message: Ohhhhh, another family war incoming? Last time, it was two father-and-son pairs. This time, it's brother and sister?]
[System: 'El-Melloi III' has sent 100 Saint Quartz!]
[Message: I'm dying of laughter. Summoned a tax-evading monster—this is going to be fun!!!]
[System: 'Curse Chef, The Great Sage of the Heian Era' has sent 6969 Saint Quartz!]
[Message: I haven't watched "Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files," so I'm not sure if what I'm doing here is right or not…]
…
"Looks like everyone has been troubled by my dear older brother. I never expected that even here, he would still give people headaches like this. Truly an older brother who doesn't know restraint."
Reines shook her head and smiled as she spoke.
"Master, can you leave this to me?"
"Ah, I'll leave it to you then."
After receiving Ethan's approval, Reines lifted her head and called out loudly above.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
Her voice gradually faded, but there was no response.
"Ehm… Sima Yi… lady?"
Mash tilted her head and asked.
"What kind of address is that? If the real Sima Yi heard that, he'd be furious."
Reines pointed a finger at Mash.
"You can call me Reines or Sima Yi, whichever you prefer."
"Then… then, Reines-san?"
Mash hesitantly said.
"Since we're teammates, exchanging names is only natural, right?"
"Sorry, I'm Mash Kyrielight, Senpai's Servant."
Mash immediately introduced herself.
"Oh? So your name is Mash."
Reines smiled as she approached Mash with great interest.
"Let's have a pleasant cooperation from now on. But, hmm, from your expression, it seems like you have something to say to me?"
"Well… Reines-san, right now we're trapped inside a Noble Phantasm, so it's likely that people outside can't hear our voices from here."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Reines waved her hand dismissively.
"In history, Zhuge Liang once gifted a dress to Sima Yi and even humiliated him. So, no matter where we are, as long as I call out, he'll definitely stick his head out."
Reines lifted her head and called out again.
"You can definitely hear me, right, brother dear?"
"Re… Reines!!!"
From the sky above, Waver's panicked voice echoed down.
"Y-You… why are you here?!"
"Of course, because brother dear was summoned to this era, and according to the 'Chain Summoning' mechanism, I was summoned along with you. This is all your fault ~~~"
Reines' words, filled with a mischievous tone, made the entire Noble Phantasm tremble.
"I never expected to be summoned on the opposing side of my brother. It seems like the Sima Yi within me has just awakened a long-dormant fighting spirit—after all, Zhuge Liang was his lifelong rival."
"Even if it's you, Reines… I cannot abandon my current position!!!"
"Aiya aiya, I didn't expect brother dear to still be so rigid. Looks like I'll have to use a little special method."
Reines casually waved her hand, and immediately, a mercury-made maid appeared behind her.
"Oujou-sama, do you have any instructions?"
"Mmm, I'm going to use my Noble Phantasm in a moment, but at this level, there's no need for Sima Yi's assistance yet."
"Understood, Oujou-sama."
Right after that, the mercury maid returned to its original state, rapidly spreading across the entire Noble Phantasm.
This was one of the supreme Mystic Codes of the El-Melloi from the Twelve Families of the Clock Tower—Volumen Hydrargyrum.
"What are you planning to do, Reines!!! Are you crazy? Activating a Noble Phantasm inside the Stone Sentinel Maze! The mana conflict could lead to unimaginable consequences!!!"
From above, Waver's panicked voice rang out.
"Ara ara, brother dear sounds unusually adorable today."
