A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

certainly. It's just that Weber, who was living in a Mandarin home, couldn't have a library, so he had no choice but to take Rider to the library.

The Central Library of Fuyuki City is located in a citizen park in the new city that is still under development. Honestly. Walking on the street late at night is a bit uneasy - the police have declared an emergency situation due to the recent frequent murders in Fuyuki City - but for Weber, the danger is more serious than the risk of being discovered and questioned by a police officer on patrol.\\n The sense of crisis of not knowing what the huge muscles in front of me would do was even more serious.

Fortunately, the giant man seemed to have been erased and became invisible at some point in the woods. As for a Servant, it should be the ability to transform into a spiritual body. If you lead a burly man in armor around, you won't be treated as a suspicious person.\\nThis is a big help to Waver. Still, Weber, who was followed by a majestic presence, still felt pressure on his back.

Fortunately, we crossed the Fuyuki Bridge and entered the new capital without encountering anyone. After arriving at the target citizen park, Weber pointed to a beautiful modern building in the depths.

"As for books, there are plenty of them out there - I think."

As a result, the pressure that had been entangled with Weber left lightly. It seems that Rider entered the building as a spirit.

——Then, after being left alone for more than 30 minutes, Weber was finally liberated from the inexplicable coercion and finally had time to calmly think and organize.

"...Why does it become like this?"

Recalling his ugly behavior so far, Weber held his head. Even as a powerful Servant, he is still his contractor. The leadership should be in the hands of Weber as the Master.

The Servant summoned by Waver is indeed very powerful. Nayu already fully understood the origin of the holy relic that he stole from Kayneth.

Heroic Spirit Iskandar Alexander, the name of Alexander the Great is well known to the world.

How a person's name is called "King" with different pronunciations in different regions. That's why that hero became the "King of Conquerors". He was a great hero who not only inherited the throne of Macedonia at the age of twenty, but also led ancient Greece to a successful expedition against Persia and completed the "Eastern Expedition" that swept through Egypt and the West Indies in less than ten years. He created an era that was known to the world as Greek culture and was a veritable "King".

Even the greatest among greats, since he was summoned as a Servant, he must never disobey the Master. First of all, the first reason is that Servants must rely on Weber to exist in this world. That giant man relied on Weber's magic supply to connect with the world. If anything happened to Weber, he would have no choice but to disappear.

The only reason why all Servants respond to the Master's call is that there must be a reason why they must participate in the Holy Grail War with the Master and win. In other words, like the Master, they also have the desire to pursue the Holy Grail. The wish accepted by the Holy Grail as a wish machine is not only the wish of the only surviving Master who wins in the end, but the Servants who obey that Master also have the authority to receive the blessings of the wish machine. In other words, the interests are consistent, and it is natural for the Servant to maintain a coordinated relationship with the Master.

Moreover, the Master also has the command spell engraved on his hand as a trump card.

The three Command Seals that will disappear when exercised are three times of absolute command power. This shows the decisive existence of the master-slave relationship between Master and Servant. A Servant must never disobey an order generated by a Command Seal, even if it is a ridiculous instruction to self-destruct. This is a contract system built by the Matou family, one of the "Three Founding Families" that serves as the center for summoning Servants.

On the other hand...\\nAlthough the Master who has used up the three Command Seals will fall into the crisis of Servant rebellion, that is a risk that can be avoided as long as the Master acts carefully.

That's right, as long as there is a Command Seal in this hand - suppressing his inner uneasiness, Weber stared at his right hand in a daze and snickered - no matter how big your muscles are.\\nIt is impossible to disobey the magician. By Weber Velvet.

After that Servant comes back.\\nWe must clarify the rules in this area forcefully...

Behind Weber who was thinking about those things, a loud explosion suddenly sounded.

"Hey!?"

Weber jumped up in fright and turned around to look.\\nThe locked rolling shutter door at the entrance of the library was being twisted and torn apart wildly. The person who walked from there to the moonlight was none other than Waver's Servant, Rider.

The first time I met him was in a dark forest, and I remembered that this was the first time I had taken a closer look at his appearance in sufficient light.

The length is probably over 2 meters easily. The upper limbs and legs protruding from the bronze body armor are covered with strong muscles that seem to bulge from the inside.\\nIt looks like it has arm strength that can strangle a bear to death with its bare hands. A sculptured, profound face, sparkling pupils, and red hair and beard that seemed to be burning. The thick cloak, dyed with the same crimson color and decorated with luxurious patterns, is reminiscent of a theater stage curtain.

The sight of a burly man dressed like this standing majestically in a modern facility library seemed a bit funny, but for Weber, who was frightened into confusion by the sharp whine of the alarm device, he had no time to find it interesting. Woolen cloth.

"Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot! You actually kicked the rolling shutter down and came out. What on earth were you thinking! Why don't you turn into a spirit like when you entered!?"

Facing Waver who was yelling curses, Rider strangely showed a very happy smile, raised the two books in his hands and said.

"If you keep your spirit body...\\nYou can't hold these."

Thick hard-cover bound volumes and thin volumes. It seems that Rider brought those two books from the library. However, disturbing the public order for such a reason is unforgivable as a Master.

"Don't wait any longer! Run away! Run away quickly!"

"It's outrageous! There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Doesn't it look like a thief?"

"What are you if you're not a thief?"

Rider looked very unhappy when facing Waver who shouted angrily.

"It's quite different. If you run away in the dark, it's just a common man's night thief. If you leave singing a triumphant song, it's just the conquering king's plunder."

Facing an opponent who was completely unable to communicate with him, Weber scratched his head with anxiety. Anyway, just grab those two books. Rider will stubbornly refuse to transform into a spiritual body, and will instead strut around as a late-night cosplay weirdo.

At his wits' end, Weber had no choice but to run to Rider and take two books from his hand.

"Is that enough!? Disappear quickly! Disappear now! Disappear immediately!"

"Oh, I'll leave it to you to carry it. Be careful not to drop it."

Rider nodded with satisfaction and disappeared again.

It's a pity that Weber doesn't have time to relax. There is no doubt that the library alarm will reach the security company soon. How long he could spend hesitating before the guards arrived was no longer his concern.

"Ahhh. Really - why - has it become like this!?"

Putting aside his lament for the first time tonight, Weber started running at full speed.

············

It should be safe to escape here. By the time he could take a breath, Weber had already sprinted to the walking path near Fuyuki Bridge.

"Hahaha--"

For Weber, who usually neglects exercise, this is a long-distance hellish run that almost breaks his heart. Even the remaining energy to stand was exhausted, and while kneeling on the roadside - he once again looked at the books that Rider had brought out from the library.

"...Homer's epic? And...world map? Why?"

Luxurious hard-covered volumes by famous ancient Greek poets. The other thin one is a color-printed geography textbook used in school classes.

From behind Webb, who didn't know what to do, a strong arm suddenly stretched out and picked up the atlas with his fingertips.

Rider, who didn't know when he materialized again, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to look through the atlas he got from Weber.

"Hey, Rider. The preparations for battle are..."

"The war cannot begin without a map. Of course."

I don't know why he was so happy. Rider showed a strange smile while looking at the world map drawn with the Goode projection method at the beginning of the atlas.

"It turns out that the world has already exposed the end of the earth, and it has been closed into a sphere... I see. If you draw the spherical earth on paper, this is what it will look like..."

Within the scope of Waver's knowledge, when heroic spirits are summoned by the Holy Grail as Servants, the Holy Grail will grant them knowledge that will not hinder their activities in that era. In other words, this ancient man was also able to accept the knowledge that "the earth is round". In that case, why would Rider do something like a thief for the sake of the world map? Weber couldn't find any reason for this.

"So... boy, where are Macedonia and Greece?"

"..."

Although he was very angry at Rider who still had an arrogant and unruly attitude and who was disrespectful to the Master and only called him a brat, Waver still pointed to a corner of the map.

Sudden--

"Wa hahaha!!"

Waver was once again frightened out of his wits by Rider's sudden burst of cheerful laughter.

"Hahaha! It's so small! Is this the only land that has been so fast in the past! Well, very good! I was a little worried because we are already in an era where there is no unknown land... If it is so vast, there will be no problem!"

Matching its huge body.\\nRider's laughter is also very loud. Weber always felt that he was facing an earthquake or a tornado rather than facing a giant-sized human being.

"Very good, very good! My heart is surging!... So boy, where is our current location on this map?"

Weber was startled timidly and pointed to Japan in the far east. As a result, Rider hummed with a look of great admiration.

"Hoho, it's on the other side of the spherical earth... Well, this is really exciting. Now the goal is determined."

Rider nodded with satisfaction while stroking his strong chin.

"...What is the policy?"

"First, go half way around the world. Go west, keep going west. Conquer all the countries you pass by. Then return to Macedonia in triumph and let the people in my homeland celebrate my resurrection. Hum hum. It's exciting, isn't it?"

After being stunned for a while, Weber was so angry that he even felt dizzy in his heart and yelled at the same time.

"What are you here for! It's the Holy Grail War! Holy Grail!"

Facing Waver's anger, Rider sighed into the wind.

"That kind of thing is just the beginning. Why would you go out of your way to do something of that magnitude——"

As he spoke, Rider clapped his hands as if he remembered something.

"By the way, when it comes to the Holy Grail, the first thing you should ask is. Boy, how do you plan to use the Holy Grail?"

Facing Rider, his calm attitude changed into a tone in which he couldn't distinguish his emotions. Weber couldn't help but feel a chill.

"...What are you talking about? What do you think when you ask something like that?"

"That needs to be confirmed. If you also have plans to gain the world, wouldn't you immediately become my enemy? The Overlord doesn't need two people."

Those words that were said simply were probably the most egregious and overreaching words that a Servant could ever say to a Master who had a Command Seal. But there was just a hint of coldness in the rough voice of this giant man, which already made Weber feel terrified. It was the overwhelming terror that made me completely forget about my vantage point as a Master.

"Silly, stupid! What about the world..."

Because he was so speechless for a moment...\\nWebber abruptly remembered the need to maintain his dignity.

"World, world conquest and the like - huh, I'm not interested in such vulgar things!"

"oh?"

Rider's expression changed and he looked at Weber with interest.

"Are you saying that as a man, there is no greater ambition than to win the world? That's really interesting. I'm all ears."

Weber snorted and used all his courage to sneer.

"I... what I want is just legitimate comments from people. Let the guys in the Clock Tower who don't agree with my talents change their views——"

Before he could finish speaking, an unprecedented impact hit Weber.

At almost the same time, Rider seemed to be heard shouting "Too small!"

However, since the intensity of the shock and anger were almost equal, Weber could not distinguish between them.

In fact, Rider didn't use any force at all, he just waved his hand like a "slap" to swat a mosquito, but that was too strong for the fragile little magician.

Weber's whole body was spinning like a top, and then he fell to the ground.

"Narrow! Insignificant! Like an idiot! Comparing your lofty ambitions in battle with your self-expression? Can you be considered my Master like this? It's really embarrassing!"

Looking quite dissatisfied, Rider shouted at the sorcerer with a dull expression on the verge of tears.

"Ah-wu-"

Weber had never experienced anything like this, a direct confrontation, such unabashed violence that brought a man to his knees. Compared to the pain in my cheek, the fact of being beaten. It was a further blow to Weber's self-esteem.

Rider completely ignored the anger of Waver, who had a pale face and trembling lips.

"If you really want to be feared by others, then...boy, you have to first use the power of the Holy Grail to grow another 30 centimeters. If your sight line can be raised that much, you should be able to look down on most guys." ()
