Chapter 107
- And I want to know. - the knight girl standing in front of me grinned. - Are you my new master?
- That's right. I am Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort, the princess of condemnation and ruler of Nirvana Night. Tell me, Mordred Pendragon, will you become my sword in exchange for fulfilling your wish?
- ... - blinking in surprise at my response, Mordred dispelled her armor, revealing a rather revealing outfit underneath, consisting of a red top covering a small size 2 breast, red armbands, a skirt and boots, as well as black stockings. - So you are one of those, what do they call them in your time... Chuunibyou? However, it doesn't matter, you have some mana, I can just feel how I am overflowing with power, this time victory will definitely be mine.
- Although I usually don't pay attention to such things, I still don't recommend questioning my personality. - I said in a cold tone, calling on my princess power, which immediately manifested itself in the form of thunderclouds with purple lightning dancing between them.
- Ooh. This is more interesting. - the girl knight grinned, not at all affected by what was happening, and scarlet lightning danced around her. - Tell me, what do you want from this Holy Grail War.
- I want to win, and also cleanse this world of a couple of abominations. Well, and, of course, have fun. - Having calmed down significantly, I answered, and then asked myself with curiosity. - And you want to get the opportunity to pull the caliburn out of the stone and thereby become king, right?
- I don't know how you know this, but it's true.
- In that case, we'll work together? - I extended my hand.
- Of course. - She shook my hand with a clap, grinning.
2 hours later
- More! - The satisfied saber shouted, who, unlike her original outfit, was now dressed in a red T-shirt and jeans thanks to my efforts.
- Right now~. - I answered, standing at the stove and preparing another portion of my signature meat platter, after all, what could be better for winning the goodwill of any of the sabers than a tasty dish? That's right! A tasty meat dish!
- Yours. - I put another plate of the just-prepared dish in front of Mordred, and just in case, I pulled out the Rusty Mountain I had prepared a long time ago in the world of the School of the Dead from my inventory.
It was so funny to watch her devour my cooking with stars in her eyes, as if, that I couldn't help but be touched.
- What do you want? - For a moment, the knight girl looked up from her meal.
- Nothing, you're just so cute. I wonder if Arturia will be like that while eating too.
- Don't call me Cutie! Otherwise, I won't forgive you next time. - Mordred threatened, but it was obvious that her thoughts were more occupied with the delicious meat covered in sauce made from berries from another world.
- And what did you mean by mentioning my father? - she asked, throwing a piece of meat into her mouth.
- Oh, and haven't I told you yet? According to my estimates, if nothing changes, she'll be summoned as a Saber tomorrow.
- Eh? - Mordred exclaimed amusingly, not bringing the next piece of meat to her mouth before jumping up.
- But you summoned me as a Saber, there can't be two servants of the same class in a war!
- That's right, that's why I summoned you without the help of the Holy Grail. So technically, you are not considered a saber of this war.
- HEY! I actually came to the summoning to make a wish to the Grail!
- And I will help you fulfill it. - I shrugged. - Especially since the Grail could not fulfill it anyway. It is not actually a wish-fulfilling machine, but literally a mechanism created to reach the root and restore the 3rd true magic.
- Something does not add up in your words. After all, I received information about the war and the current era, and it definitely said about fulfilling wishes.
- Well, let me explain in order, and in the meantime sit down, you do not want the food to get cold, do you?
- Okay. - Mordred frowned and, sitting back at the table, bit off a piece of sausage with noticeable anger.
- Great. So, first of all, it is worth explaining the moment with the knowledge you received. Unlike many people think, servants receive information not from the grail, but from the summoning ritual itself. In this case, the grail only plays a supporting role. I hope I don't need to explain who invented this ritual.
- No need. - the girl knight frowned even more. - My mother Morgana, I more than understand the duplicity of mages.
- Well, not all mages are bad, but perhaps most of them are really bastards and I have plans to destroy one family, having learned about whose deeds, I am sure that you yourself will not mind participating.
- We'll see. - she answered, already simply ignoring the fact that I addressed her in the feminine gender.
- Okay, there is one more thing because of which the current grail will not even be able to perform its direct function, let alone fulfill wishes.
- Hm? So this war is even more crap than I managed to think?
- Yes. At the moment, the grail is defiled by the evil of the entire world, that is, when trying to make a wish or anything else, there will only be one result, the revival of the evil god Angra Mainyu, as well as a catastrophe that will most likely affect the entire world.
- Holy shit. So what are we going to do?
- Well, for starters, let's play around with Saber a little, I'm sure you'll have something to talk about, then...
- Hey, wait, what do you mean, let's play around with my father, what are you planning?!
- Huh? Nothing like that, just a family reunion, tell me, wouldn't you really want Arturia to finally acknowledge you? After all, despite the deception, she conceived you more or less naturally. As they say, incest runs in the family*. - I waved my hand vaguely.
- Then we will get rid of the servants who are hostile to us, and finally, I will take advantage of the infinite energy and try to purify the Holy Grail, and then we can look for a way to fulfill your wish using the second magic, which allows you to travel between worlds, although I haven't figured out how to get it yet.
- Are you serious right now? - Mordred showed that she didn't know whether she was angry or something else.
- Of course! Let's make stupid Arthur realize how much he screwed up by refusing to acknowledge his biological son. - I said, deliberately not calling them women, so that Mordred would definitely be interested in being on my side.
- Yes! Let's show that bastard! - Mordred happily supported me.

*As many fans of the Nasuverse already know, in addition to the obvious differences from the legend of King Arthur, in the form of a change in gender, the method of Mordred's conception will also naturally be slightly different. Merlin used a spell to grow Arturia a magical phallus, which she used to impregnate Morgana, who pretended to be Guinevere using illusions, and then she used spells to speed up Mordred's growth, which also significantly shortened her lifespan, so Mordred is not exactly a homunculus, although she is certainly close to this concept. This is the story of Incest in this family.
