Chapter 489: Isn’t the Maid Costume Pretty Good?
After entering the mission world of “FateStayNight”, Qin Chuan appeared in the base of Lenis in Fuyuki City.
This base is a house that was obtained from somewhere – although the El-Melloi family has declined, it is the monarch’s family after all, so it still has to be presentable.
Qin Chuan appeared in the living room of the house and opened his eyes, looked around, and did not see Lenis.
However, Qin Chuan sensed the “qi” around him a little bit, and felt where Lenis was, she was not too far away.
Qin Chuan moved instantly, left the house of the base, and then appeared on the roof of the house – as expected, he saw Lenis fiddling with something on the roof.
And Lenis also heard Qin Chuan’s movement, her body trembled, as if she was frightened, and she turned around quickly. After seeing that it was Qin Chuan, she breathed a sigh of relief and said:
“What? It’s Mr. Qin Chuan. I thought there was an enemy attack.”
There are advantages and disadvantages to renting such a large house as a base.
The advantage is that Lenis’s quality of life must be very good during this period, and such a large house and yard can also allow Lenis to set up a good quality defense barrier.
The disadvantage is that a big tree attracts the wind, and it is easy to be discovered by the enemy and targeted. In the original work, Kenneth rented the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel with great fanfare, and was targeted by Emiya Kiritsugu.
Although in this world, Kenneth was killed by Qin Chuan before he was bombed by Emiya Kiritsugu.
“If there are real enemies coming, you shouldn’t worry too much. Escape won’t be a problem.”
Qin Chuan smiled and looked at Lanis’s body – she was still wearing the maid costume Qin Chuan gave her, and she didn’t seem to want to put it away.
“Are you so cautious? Even in your own base, you have to wear a maid costume.”
“… After all, this maid costume can provide me with a very good strength bonus.”
Lianis blushed. Who said that the effect of this maid costume is really good? It can even increase her magic power, which is very rare.
Originally, Lanis was a little worried that it would be embarrassing to wear this maid costume, but after testing it during the day, Lanis found that other people could not see this maid costume.
Although Lanis could see it herself, even through the mirror, she could not see her maid costume from other people’s perspectives or in photos.
This allowed Lenis to wear this maid outfit with confidence. After all, Qin Chuan gave this “treasure” to her, so she could use it at will, right?
And wearing this maid outfit also made Lenis feel protected by Qin Chuan – this sense of security was hard to get in the past, and Lenis liked this feeling a little.
“So what are you doing?”
Seeing Lenis’s red faceQin Chuan smiled and didn’t continue talking about it. Instead, he turned to look at the magic prop that Lanis was playing with.
It was something like a small lampstand with a purple crystal necklace hanging on it – Qin Chuan remembered that Lanis seemed to have used this crystal necklace in the original work.
Qin Chuan knew nothing about magic, so naturally he couldn’t understand the purpose of the prop that Lanis was playing with.
“This is a prop used to detect magic power. I plan to use it to detect which contestants will summon heroes tonight.”
Lianis would certainly not hide it from Qin Chuan, she explained.
“Although I summoned Mr. Qin Chuan in advance, in fact, if we follow the rules, tonight to the early morning is the best time to summon.”
The state of a magician will fluctuate with time. In certain time periods, the magician’s mental power and magic circuits are fully open, and they can exert all their strength.
Although it is reasonable that the state of the magician will not affect the summoned Heroic Spirit, there are many magicians who are superstitious about this and will choose to summon when they are in the most perfect state.
Rin Tohsaka in the original work is like this. She even missed her best state because she didn’t realize that the time on the clock was adjusted.
And the crystal pendant used by Lanis did play a role in detection in the original work. This time it was used to detect the magic power when summoning Heroic Spirits, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.
“As long as someone summons a Heroic Spirit during this period, this crystal pendant will guide us to the location of the summoner, making it easier for us to investigate.”
Lianis set up the magic device, then nodded with satisfaction, turned her head and said to the “Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid” maid, that is, Trimmau, who had been standing beside her.
“Trimmau, you just watch here. Once the crystal pendant reacts, record it immediately.”
Although the magic device has been set up to detect the direction of the summoning of the heroic spirit, it is impossible for Lanis to stay here all the time.
It was very cold in the evening. As a magician, Lanis’s physical fitness was just so-so. Even with Qin Chuan’s maid outfit bonus, she didn’t want to blow the cold wind on the roof.
As an artificial maid made of the Moon Spirit Marrow, Trimmau would not have these feelings, so Lanis could rest assured to let her help observe on the roof.
“I understand, Master.”
Trimmau nodded. Although he had basic artificial intelligence, Trimmau was just a familiar made of the Moon Spirit Marrow after all, and his personality would naturally not have too many ups and downs.
“But the crystal pendant has already reacted.”
“Huh?” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Lenice was stunned when she heard this, and quickly turned her head to look at the magic device she had just set up.
Then she was surprised to find that it was really as Trimmawu said, the crystal pendant had begun to react – it slowly lifted up and headed towards the north.Swaying slowly.
“Someone summoned a Heroic Spirit so soon?”
Lenice was stunned. Although tonight or the early morning was indeed a good time to summon, it was too early now, wasn’t it?
Could it be that someone got the summoning time wrong? []
…
Lenice really guessed it right. Someone did get the summoning time wrong.
It was Rin Toosaka who got the summoning time wrong. In the original work, she got the best timing wrong because of the wrong clock adjustment. This time, she made the same mistake.
“Very good, now we are ready.”
Rin Toosaka looked at the summoning circle emitting light on the ground in the basement and stretched out her hand excitedly.
She did not notice that the clock in the basement pointed to a different time than the other clocks in the house, but immediately started summoning Heroic Spirits without stopping.
“Although Qin Chuan cannot be summoned… But it doesn’t matter. As long as a strong enough Heroic Spirit is summoned to force that guy from the El-Melloi family to give up the Holy Grail, that’s enough!”
Rin Tousaka’s idea is just as Qin Chuan thought, which is to defeat the Master of Lanis to make her give up the Holy Grail War.
If Lanis’s wish is to keep Qin Chuan, then Rin Tousaka would probably give up – but Lanis’s wish is to revitalize the El-Melloi family, which forces her to compete.
