Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 34

“I didn’t expect Saint-sama to be summoned by Master as well!” Johanna happily stood beside Martha.

“This must be the guidance of the Lord!” she exclaimed. “To be able to fight alongside the famous Popess from history, I am overjoyed. But just the thought of me, a Saint, having to engage in battle weighs heavily on my mind and body.”

Seeing Martha’s dilemma, Johanna reached out and held her hand. “Martha-sama, there is no need to be troubled by this. The Lord has always been guiding us forward. Even if the path ahead is difficult, it is only a trial from the Lord. There is no need to feel guilty for defeating our enemies.”

“No need to feel guilty, is it…” Martha nodded in response to Johanna’s words. “Indeed, if I have to punish our enemies, the Lord will surely forgive me, right?”

“If it is necessary to do so, the Lord will surely grant forgiveness,” Johanna reassured her. “Even if we force our enemies to repent, it is still the right thing to do, isn’t it?!”

Martha unconsciously tightened her grip on Johanna’s hand, her eyes shining brightly. “Ah?”

Johanna suddenly felt her hand completely immobilized, but as she looked at Martha in this state, she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was wrong. She couldn’t find the words to express it. “Perhaps… that’s right, isn’t it?”

For some reason, there seemed to be a somewhat… unsettling aura around Saint Martha at this moment.

“Chirp chirp—!!!” Johanna’s Tonbi flew around the four-legged iron dragon, Tarasque.

Because Martha was summoned, Tarasque also appeared in the real world.

“Phew…” Tarasque looked up at Tonbi flying around it, but could only sigh helplessly.

Then, Tonbi landed triumphantly on Tarasque’s horn and chirped cheerfully.

This scene prompted the viewers in the livestream room to switch to pet master mode.

“So cute!”

“It is said that many wild animals have a symbiotic relationship, just like this Tonbi and the iron dragon. Don’t be fooled by the ferocious appearance of this iron dragon, it is actually quite gentle.”

“I wonder where in the wild you can find such wild iron dragons.”

“Streamer, what breed is your iron dragon? Mine likes to breathe fire, maybe it ate too many chili peppers.”

“Hey, the one above, is your iron dragon from Sichuan? Mine is from the Northeast, it just loves to tear down houses, almost destroyed my whole home.”

“System message: ‘Taste of Fate’ sends 50 magic keys.”

“Comment: Streamer, can you give us a close-up of the iron dragon? It looks strangely adorable.”

—————–

He” looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room, and Bai Qiu made a “elderly, subway, mobile phone” expression.

It seems that the interests of the audience in my live broadcast room are a bit… diverse.

Then he looked at Martha, who was excited, and Johanna, who was doubting herself.

“It’s indeed the Ruler class,” he said.

As expected, Martha, who was summoned again, appeared in the form of a Ruler and was not affected by the Holy Grail of this era.

It seems that only when using points to summon a Heroic Spirit, the initial rules of the Holy Grail War will be followed for selection.

It is still possible to use the rules to some extent and select the Heroic Spirit of the desired class.

“System, how many points do I have now?”

[Beep beep beep – Querying, query successful!]

[The host’s current live broadcast points are 13,044.]

[Currently, you can make 13 draws.]

[It will take 56 more draws until the next guaranteed Heroic Spirit.]

After hearing the system’s notification, Bai Qiu noticed something was off.

“Wait, didn’t I receive a lot of gifts these days? Were they not counted?”

[Beep beep beep – After the gifts in the live broadcast room are exchanged for points exceeding 100,000, they will be automatically added to the host’s points.]

[The accumulated number of gifts received is currently: 64,222.]

Bai Qiu’s spirits lifted after hearing this number.

Wow, so many?!

If I had this amount of money before, couldn’t I just summon a bunch of 5-star Heroic Spirits directly?!

Then I wouldn’t have to use a calculator every time I face a difficult battle!

But it’s a pity that money is useless here, so it’s better to exchange it directly for points.

However, it’s a bit troublesome to accumulate 100,000 points for the release.

“System, can’t you release them earlier?”

Just to secure a guarantee, since we’re going to storm Orleans.

After all, the more, the merrier.

[Beep beep… Please refrain from attempting to change the rules of this system.]

[When the rules of this system change, serious errors may occur, and in the worst case, it may cause the system to malfunction. Please be aware of this, host.]

“What’s this? The system now knows how to use death threats?!”

“Alright, alright, system, you’re so high and mighty!”

With that, Bai Qiu temporarily gave up on the idea of challenging the system.

But on second thought, if the gifts in the live broadcast room were settled, he would suddenly have an extra 100,000 points!!!

These 100,000 points could be used for a hundred consecutive draws, or to unleash the second Noble Phantasm of a Servant based on the current situation of the battle.

He could even use three Command Seals against the enemy when his life was hanging by a thread, allowing Mordred to unleash the full power of the Sword of Filial Piety.

At this point, Jeanne Alter’s army should be close to destroying France, and as Mo-san said, speed is of the essence.

Before the enemy destroys France, it would be no problem to deal with the Holy Grail, Jeanne Alter, and Gilles de Rais.

The only problem now is how to quickly reach Orleans.

Should he shamelessly ask the viewers in the live broadcast room for gifts and use the points obtained to draw for a guaranteed result?

The Rider class is currently vacant, and there is a high probability of drawing a Rider Servant.

As long as he can summon a Servant with a means of transportation, preferably someone like the Emperor, he can easily arrive in Orleans in a few days.

But should he do it?

Just as Bai Qiu furrowed his brow in contemplation.

“Huff, huff—!!!”

Tarasque, who was being tormented by Tonbi, let out a dissatisfied growl, even trying to raise its short neck to intimidate Tonbi.

However, Tonbi was agile, happily flying around in the air, playing with Tarasque.

Wait a minute, speaking of Martha becoming a Rider, it’s because Tarasque is her mount, right?

And because she can ride dragonkind, she reaches A++ in Riding.

Even though Martha’s Saint Graph has changed and she has become a Ruler now.

But Tarasque should still be able to serve as a means of transportation!

Suddenly, Tarasque felt a chill down its back, thinking that Tonbi was going to peck its back again.

Turning its head abruptly, it found a human boy looking at it with a satisfied gaze.

For some reason, the boy’s gaze made Tarasque feel afraid.

“Huh???”
