Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 93

[The current live points of the host total 261,000 (including accumulated gifts exchanged for 100,000).]

[About 260 draws can be made.]

[56 draws are needed until the next guaranteed Heroic Spirit.]

“Well, let’s start with 56 draws.”

Let’s try our luck with a guaranteed draw.

Bai Qiu reached out in front of her.

“I hereby declare…”

Even within Kongming’s Noble Phantasm, a silver summoning circle appeared.

The spiritual energy from the ley lines continuously flowed into it, even Mashu, who was beside them, was slightly surprised, but quickly reacted and stood beside Bai Qiu with her shield to prevent any accidents.

Various strange items kept appearing in the summoning circle.

Lion plush toys, beach volleyballs, griffin dolls, coupons…

As the silver summoning circle was about to overflow, a voice from the system sounded in their ears.

[Beep beep – A Heroic Spirit has been detected actively responding to the summon. Do you choose to summon this Heroic Spirit?]

Just like with Mo-san back then?

Of course, Bai Qiu wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Choose!”

Bai Qiu agreed without hesitation.

No matter what Servant it is, as long as they can respond to their summons and join the battle as combat power.

[Ding – The host’s choice has been confirmed. Initiating the summoning of the actively responding Heroic Spirit.]

Suddenly, a golden radiance surged from the summoning circle!!!

Oh my goodness, it’s finally a gold summoning!!!

Bai Qiu watched as the figure gradually emerged in front of them.

“Oh, someone finally summoned me. Rider, Sima Yi, reporting for duty.”

A girl dressed in a dazzling Western-style outfit appeared in the summoning circle.

“Woah, Senpai… It seems like an extraordinary Servant has been summoned!!!” Mashu instinctively took a step back, tightly gripping her shield in front of Bai Qiu.

“No need to be so nervous. I’m here to help you, at least for now.” The girl in the Western-style outfit glanced at the pile of card draw extras at her feet. “Oh my, Master’s collection is quite unique in taste.”

Saying that, the girl walked out from the midst of the clutter.

“Sima Yi… Senpai, isn’t this a Chinese Servant? You should be familiar with it, right?” Mashu immediately turned to Bai Qiu and asked.

Hmm, how should I put it… Bai Qiu sighed, realizing that they had triggered the “Chain Summoning” after all.

“Me? I’m just a pseudo-Servant of Reines El-Melloi Archisorte. But this young lady’s situation seems to be a bit more complicated.” Reines stepped forward and looked at Mashu, then nodded in satisfaction. “Hmm, indeed an interesting Saint Graph.”

In that moment when Reines stared at her, Mashu inexplicably felt a chill running through her entire body.

When they saw Reines being summoned, the audience in the livestream room finally erupted with excitement.

“It’s foolish me, I didn’t expect it to be me!”

“Wonderful, wonderful.”

“Oh oh oh… it’s a touch of Duo!”

“The person upstairs, it should be a touch of Yi, right?”

“Wait, why is Reines Sima Yi?”

“The host mentioned it earlier, Waver is Kongming’s pseudo-Servant, so it’s only natural for a touch of Yi to catch Sima Yi’s attention, right?”

“Waver bought female clothing for Reines, and Kongming also gave Sima Yi female clothing. There you go, very reasonable!”

“She said she’s a Rider, but why is she at the Rider class? Wait… I think I understand!”

“The person upstairs, what exactly did you understand?!”

“System message: ‘Lady’s Etiquette’ sends out a golden cruise ship!”

“Comment: Father, look, Zhuge Liang!!!”

“System message: ‘El-Melloi Household Affairs’ sends out rockets x5!”

“Comment: Hilarious, summoned a tax evasion monster, there’s fun to watch below!!!”

…

“It seems like you’ve been trapped by Onii-sama. I didn’t expect Onii-sama to be such a troublesome person here. He’s truly a bothersome older brother,” Reines shook her head and said with a smile.

“Master, can I take care of things here?” Reines asked, looking up after receiving Bai Qiu’s permission.

“Ah, please.”

After getting Bai Qiu’s approval, Reines looked up and shouted, “Hey, can you hear me?”

The sound gradually dissipated, but there was no response.

“Um, Sima Yi… Miss?” Mashu tilted her head and said.

“What kind of address is that? Sima Yi will get angry if he hears you.” Reines extended a finger towards Mashu.

“Call me Reines, Sima Yi, or Zhongda, whichever you prefer.”

“Then, Reines…san?”

Mashu hesitated.

“Since we are comrades, it’s only natural to exchange names, right?”

“I’m sorry, I’m Mashu, Senpai’s Servant.”

Mashu immediately introduced herself.

“Oh? So your name is Mashu.”

Reines approached Mashu with a smile, showing interest.

“Let’s get along well in the future. By the way, judging from your expression, do you have something to tell me?”

Um, Reines-san… We are currently trapped inside the Noble Phantasm, so it’s likely that no one outside can hear us.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”

Reines waved her hand dismissively.

“In history, Kongming once gave Sima Yi women’s clothing and humiliated him. So no matter where we are, as long as I call out, he will inevitably show up.”

Reines looked up and shouted again.

“Can you hear me, Onii-sama?”

“Rei…Reines!!!”

A panicked voice came from the sky above.

“How…how did you end up here?!”

“Well, of course it’s because Onii-sama was summoned to this era, triggering the ‘Chain Summoning,’ which resulted in my summoning. It’s all Onii-sama’s fault~~~”

Reines’ mischievous words caused even the Noble Phantasm to shake.

“I didn’t expect to encounter someone who opposes Onii-sama. It seems that the Sima Yi within me has ignited a long-lost fighting spirit, as Kongming is his lifelong enemy.”

“Even if it’s you, Reines…I cannot give up my current position!!!”

“Oh dear, oh dear, Onii-sama is still so rigid. It seems I’ll have to use some extraordinary means.”

Reines casually waved her finger, and a mercury-formed maid quietly appeared behind her.

“Ojou-sama, do you have any orders?”

“Well, I will use my Noble Phantasm later, but it’s not necessary to trouble Lord Sima Yi for this level of battle.”

“Understood, Ojou-sama.”

Then, the mercury-formed maid returned to her original state and rapidly spread throughout the entire Noble Phantasm.

This is one of the Supreme Mystic Codes of the Clock Tower’s El-Melloi family, Volumen Hydrargyrum.

“What are you planning, Reines!!! Are you insane? Trying to unleash a Noble Phantasm within the ‘Unreturning Formation’! The clash of Magical Energies will result in unpredictable consequences!!!”

Waver’s panicked voice came from above.

“Oh dear, your voice sounds particularly cute today, my Onii-sama.”
