Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

"Then, Roland, can I still go back?"

"Or... can the collapse of our world be resolved as smoothly as it is here?"

Um...

To be honest, Roland really didn't dare to say it.

After all, Cecilia arrived here before she met Siegfried. If time had been progressing there, although Otto's presence would have prevented any major accidents, Cecilia would have been gone so early that the area might have already become a Lostbelt.

The exact situation depends entirely on Otto's efforts...

"I can't say for sure about the situation on your side... but as long as your side hasn't been completely destroyed by the Honkai, then with our current strength, dealing with the Honkai shouldn't be a big problem for us."

As for whether you can go back...

As Roland spoke, he shared the message that Rin Tohsaka had sent him yesterday with Cecilia using the group messaging function.

[Devil Muscle Rin: Roland, I've made progress on the research about parallel worlds, and we've found a suitable one here. It's a world where the Fourth Holy Grail War will evolve into the Holy Grail War. We can try it out here first as an experiment. If it works, then we can go to your side and try it out.]

Demon, the devilish muscle Rin?

Is this also a naming format used in another world?

When Cecilia saw this name, even she couldn't help but pause for a moment.

However, she still read through the contents carefully afterward.

"So, once our world connects to the virtual world, I can go back?"

Upon hearing Cecilia's summary, Roland shook his head.

"After all, it involves the issue of parallel worlds, and many things are not so simple. First, I need to go back and experiment with it during this period. Second, if it is successful, we will need to connect this world to the virtual world and then check the compatibility of the second method, oh, that is, the mystical technology of traversing parallel worlds, here. If everything is fine, then it is truly fine."

Cecilia nodded.

Although it sounds quite troublesome, having a chance to go back is better than nothing.

Especially after seeing the world as it is now, Cecilia really wants to end the Honkai on her side as well!

"It's okay, as long as there's hope, that's good."

"Well, I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't keep looking preoccupied if you didn't know about this."

"Alright, now that I've told you about this, I should go back with Ryougi Shiki to take a look."

After saying this, Roland comforted Cecilia for a few moments and then turned and left.

As Cecilia watched Roland leave, a genuine smile appeared on her face.

She had been pondering this matter for some time, but she thought she had kept it well hidden and that Mei shouldn't have noticed. She really didn't expect that just one gathering and a few meetings would actually draw Roland's attention...

"It really is true, it makes me feel very safe."

After Roland had arranged everything in the Honkai world, he and Ryougi Shiki returned to the Type-Moon world.

Then Ryougi Shiki went back to her apartment, while Roland went to Rin Tohsaka's place.

After all, the Fourth Holy Grail War turned into the Holy Grail War... Goodness, isn't this just the Fate/Apocrypha worldline?!

So Roland decided to go and take a look, or at least observe it first.

Then Rin Tohsaka was asked to start preparing.

Once she's ready, we can go and take a look.

But before that...

"Regarding matters concerning the Type-Moon world and the virtual world, it's best to consult Gaia or Alaya."

....

145. Surely Bazett won't underperform twice more?

"Rin, have you made any progress on your end?"

Roland approached Rin Tohsaka first.

"Ah."

Rin Tohsaka wasn't surprised to see Roland return. After all, although Roland had been gone for a while this time, he could have come back at any time if there was a problem.

"Just like we said before, I have basically overcome all the technical difficulties—and the master also deserves credit for this."

When Zelrich was mentioned, Rin Tohsaka's expression suddenly became subtle.

After all, Zelrich... aside from his unparalleled mastery of gem magic and second magic, he really didn't give Rin Tohsaka any sense of being a master.

In fact, most of the time, Rin Tohsaka felt that Zelrich was a bit... unreliable!

The harsher words were those from Ishtar, which she, as a descendant of the Tohsaka family, couldn't bring herself to say, but that's roughly the feeling...

"Our ancestor created a gem teleportation device that can take us to parallel worlds, and Medea even took the time to modify this device into a pseudo-machine god. You might need to investigate some things further for your other world, but it works perfectly fine for us."

"This way we can take more people to test various situations and problems in parallel worlds."

"But since it's a parallel world travel, we can't bring too many people with us. Otherwise, if too many people who don't originally belong to our side suddenly appear in the parallel world, the world itself will have problems."

"No more than six, six should be the limit... Oh, if we include me and Ishtar, then bringing me is equivalent to bringing seven."

After seeing that Rin Tohsaka deliberately mentioned herself but not Hyakko, Iskandar, and the others, Roland realized that Rin Tohsaka also wanted to go to the parallel world.

Roland naturally wouldn't say anything about this.

After all, as far as he knew, Rin Tohsaka had a lot of records of observing parallel worlds, but this was her first time going to a parallel world herself, so it was no wonder that she wanted to go and see for herself.

After all, this is quite a memorable event for her.

“Okay, then it’s you and me, and I’m also planning to bring Bazett along.”

Roland's expression turned strange when Bazette was mentioned.

“After all, we arrived at the Root together last time. You, me, Ilya, and Orange all completed the ritual in their own ways. Only Bazett, although she also gained a lot, did not reach this point. So, the Holy Grail War is currently underway over there. We can use this method to help Bazett arrive at the Root again. She should be almost there this time.”

When Roland brought up Bazett's story again, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but laugh when she recalled Bazett's bewildered expression, her attempts to appear expressionless but her eyes revealing a hint of detachment.

But she had no objection to it.

However, just as Roland was about to reveal the remaining candidates, Rin Tohsaka recommended another one.

"Ilya, take Ilya with you."

Ok?

Roland didn't care that Rin Tohsaka was planning to recommend someone else.

Since this trip seems to be to a parallel world of FA, he will definitely need to bring two people with him – one is Bazett and the other is Aya.

Because among the members of the God Group, although there are quite a few magicians, many of them are in the Honkai World and it is impossible for them to participate in this operation.

Esdeath also studied magic, but she didn't study it for long, and she was rather unbalanced in this area. So unbalanced that she was only good at enhancement magic and not good at any other kind of magic—let alone getting her to reach the Root once, even if you got her to reach it a hundred times, it wouldn't make any difference.

She lacked the technology and ideas to complete the law.

Aoko was originally a magician.

Ai Ge... does she still need this?

After eliminating them all, only Bazett and Yuzu are left.

Bazett improved his magic skills a lot when he arrived at the Root last time, and Roland felt that he should be about the same this time.

Yuzu uses the magic system originally belonging to the First Magician, Yumina. After usurping the Mage Association, Yuzu even had magical exchanges with Bartholomew of the Clock Tower.

If she were to reach the source once, then Yuzhu should be able to complete the ritual.

Therefore, if there is a chance to reach the source, they should naturally be taken along.

Of the four spots, Roland himself needed one, but he didn't care about the other three.

Rin Tohsaka knew this, which is why she recommended Illya after she signed up herself.

"While observing a parallel world, I discovered the Einzbern on the other side... and it seems that the Einzbern on the other side is also preparing for this Holy Grail War."

"I don't think they'll succeed... After all, the Holy Grail War has a different meaning over there."

"One of them is the Yggdomirenia clan, headquartered in Romania—they defected from the Magic Association."

"The Mage Association over there probably doesn't have many elite magicians because of the parallel world, so they hired some magicians to go to Romania—the so-called Holy Grail War has officially become their battlefield."

"The Einzbern clan is very weak after their defeat in the Third Holy Grail War, and some of their technology has even been taken to the Yggdmillennia clan."

"But the artificial human that Einzbern created for this purpose... was named Irisviel."

Hearing Rin Tohsaka say this, Roland understood.

“In that case, I understand what you mean... But Rin, you need to understand one thing: no matter how similar the other flower is, the flower that withered before has already withered. Are you sure Illya won't have a negative effect after seeing Irisviel?”

Ilya is different from the other homunculi of the Einzbern family.

She was indeed born of Irisviel, but she underwent magical alterations while still in the womb, which is why she looked the way she did before.

Irisviel was indeed her mother.

Therefore, Roland was actually unsure how Ilya would react if she actually saw Irisviel again.
