By the unnamed lake not far south of Chaldea, Rin heard Reines's request, a playful smile appearing on her face. She glanced slightly at the reeds by the lake and said to Reines, "Oh~! You noticed?"
Reines spread her arms, facing the cool breeze blowing from the lake, and replied with a smile, "Anyone who isn't blind could see it! It's so funny thinking back to how I once suspected you would seize my inheritance rights!"
"Indeed! That certain Little Miss certainly caused me no shortage of trouble back then!"
Reines's face flushed slightly, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Rin, do you agree?"
Rin gave Reines a look that was half-smile, half-serious.
"Don't you think you're just adding flowers to a brocade at this point?"
Reines nodded calmly at Rin, bent down to pull a weed from the ground, and played with it in her hand.
"It's too real! Your Sixth Magic is about to be completed, isn't it? It's true that my declaration is a bit late, but if I don't declare my stance now, I'm afraid that in the future, we in El-Melloi will only be left in the Old World waiting for the Incineration of Human Order, right?"
Rin waved her hand.
"A brand new magic isn't that simple. Besides, I am genuinely dealing with the Incineration of Human Order! Don't make it sound like I've given up on stopping the Incineration of Human Order!"
However, Reines didn't seem to agree with Rin's statement. Reines waved the tattered battle flag in her hand, then pointed casually at the temple at the peak of the highest mountain in the Spiritron World and said with a grin, "You've even prepared your own Throne of Heroes. When I combine your Chaldea organization, the Spiritron World, the goddess saint graph, the Sixth Magic, the catalysts you collected all over the world back then, and your act of bringing back a Dead Apostle from the last Singularity... Rin, you're planning to create a brand New World, right! And you will be the god of this New World~!"
After saying this in one breath, Reines couldn't help but place her hand on the test tube containing Moonlit Essence in her pocket, a trace of wariness appearing deep in her eyes. In the heart of a traditional Magus like Reines, stating Rin's purpose was tantamount to showing her cards. If Rin didn't intend to accept El-Melloi, her current actions would undoubtedly be a path to death. Although Reines understood that if Rin wanted to, she could kill her in a second, the Moonlit Essence in her pocket still brought Reines a sense of comfort. Only in this way did Reines have the courage to continue.
"Rin, I can't find any reason for you to save the Old World, but as a Magus, you are a strange one in every aspect, so perhaps you might genuinely want to save it. However, rather than remaining in the Old World waiting for an unknown outcome, it's better to take a gamble now. In any case, El-Melloi will continue to exist! So, Rin, what is your answer?"
After speaking, Reines gripped the Moonlit Essence tightly in her pocket. Seeing Rin raise her hand, a trace of despair appeared in Reines's eyes, and she closed her eyes, waiting for death to arrive.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why do you have that expression like I'm about to kill you?"
The expected death did not come. Hearing Rin's voice, Reines opened her eyes. Seeing Rin scratching her head, Reines realized she had misunderstood and a blush appeared on her face involuntarily.
"Alright, I'm not some Demon King or anything, killing people just because they guessed a bit of my thoughts. Also, those of you hiding over there, get out here!"
As she spoke, Rin turned her head to look at the reeds by the lake, leaving Gudako, Illya, and Chloe, who had been hiding there, with nowhere to hide.
"Hahaha, Master, the weather is so nice today!"
Seeing the three of them—Gudako and the others—walking out of the reeds and still feigning ignorance, Rin was furious. In an instant, she appeared behind the three, dangerous red light glowing in her eyes. 'Bang, bang, bang!' The three of them sprouted swirl-eyes, clutched their heads, and crouched on the ground. Only the smoke rising from Rin's fist could let others know what these three little ones had experienced.
"Master, that hurts!"
"That's right! Rin, you hit our heads with your fist again!" X2
"Shut up, stand properly for me first. If you keep nagging, I'll strip you all naked, throw you into the lake, and trigger a snowstorm!"
"Are you a devil?" X3
However, seeing Rin raise her fist again, the three little ones dared not say another word. They immediately put on ingratiating expressions and stood in place in a standard military posture. Judging by the proficiency of their military posture, this probably wasn't the first time this had happened.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two didn't think I hadn't noticed you, did you?" After dealing with the three, Rin pointed at the reeds again and scolded.
Following Rin's words, Mordred walked out of the depths of the reeds whistling with an innocent face, accompanied by the King of Conquerors, who was scratching his head and smiling bitterly.
Seeing these two clowns, one big and one small, Rin rolled her eyes helplessly. Too lazy to bother with the King of Conquerors and Mordred, she casually froze them both using command spells, then turned to Reines and said.
"Reines, are you sure you want to do this? My real plan isn't what you guessed!"
"I'm sure! Although my analysis might not be entirely correct, it should have hit the mark on part of it, right? Otherwise, given your personality, you would have denied it long ago!"
Looking at the confident Reines, Rin waved her hand listlessly, then squatted down and began to draw a summoning magic circle.
"Fine, suit yourself!"
Seeing Rin squat down and start drawing the magic circle, the confidence on Reines's face grew even stronger.'Still denying it! Ignoring the fate system and using a traditional summoning circle, Rin, you're being too obvious!'
"I understand! I will prepare the document of allegiance as soon as I return to Chaldea!"
Seeing Reines's expression, Rin understood that Reines had misunderstood something again, but at this point, Rin was too lazy to explain anything. The reason she didn't use the fate system and instead used the traditional magic circle was simply because the fate system had weak control over Heroic Spirits. Although it was convenient to create command spells with the fate system, the effect of the command spells was greatly reduced.
Although the traditional magic circle was troublesome and required deceiving the Heroic Spirit, the command spell system had a stronger control effect over the Heroic Spirit. However, this was nothing to Rin, who had already mastered the creation of traditional command spells. After all, the most troublesome part, the massive amount of magical energy, was something Rin didn't need to accumulate; she had plenty of magical energy to squander.
If she used the fate system for this Jeanne summoning, how could she see some of the scenes she was looking forward to? Rin, looking forward to seeing Jeanne fall into the hands of a person with such a terrible personality as Reines, decisively chose the traditional summoning.
Having completed the magic circle, Rin expanded her authority to take one of the Holy Grails she had collected from the depths of the Throne of Heroes and connected it to the magic circle on the ground. Then, with a sinister smile, she began to edit the summoning magecraft.
Just as three command spells appeared on the back of Reines's hand with a burning sensation.
At an unknown location in the world, the sleeping gaia suddenly felt a palpitation, as if a thief had set their sights on her, making gaia feel that she would lose quite a few good things during this period of sleep.
"Damn thief!"
Accompanied by this'sleep talk' between half-dream and half-wakefulness, a certain concept from the Hall of Heroes outside the world descended into a certain world along with the Holy Grail ritual.
