Regarding the fact that the hostile aura from the young priest before him had completely dissipated, Aslan was actually quite surprised that the effect was so immediate. At this moment, he couldn't help but pat his own chest and marvel at the terror of religion, and then once again thank his past self for choosing such a deceptive identity.
Amen. May the glory of the Lord fool you.
However, after reaching a consensus with the priest before him that they were not currently enemies, the current Aslan had also obtained the right to play freely in this world. Of course, this was only for his own play. If he really wanted to stir up trouble, this world also had many hidden old monsters.
Aslan never underestimated the recluses who were secretly cultivating in this world. Although the old monsters of the Wandering Sea rarely paid attention to the development of the world, and even if the world were to be destroyed, they might remain indifferent, but one must be prepared for any eventuality. Besides the Wandering Sea, one also had to be careful if there were similar existences in other regions, such as the snowy plateau on the land of China.
But no matter what, the news of his descent in this world would surely be recorded in the Church. On one hand, it was for surveillance; on the other, it was also for protection. No matter what, he was a Son of God. How could they tolerate the prying eyes of other magus organizations? For the current Church, as long as this Son of God did not intend to cause trouble, he would naturally enjoy all kinds of protection, and they would even reimburse many of the expenses Aslan incurred in modern life. In fact, it was basically all-inclusive. But in return, Aslan would also need to help out when the Church encountered difficult missions.
Speaking of which, actually, Aslan didn't have any particular aversion to the Church. Any organization, after developing for a long enough time, will breed a certain amount of darkness. Wasn't the Clock Tower also constantly in internal conflict? If you were to say that the Church had some improper aspects, then of course it did. But from another perspective, they were indeed protecting modern humanity. And if a Son of God were to have an inexplicably bad attitude towards the Church, that would be breaking character!! Rather than having a hostile attitude towards the Church, which was currently dealing with various abnormal matters, it would be better to have a disgusted attitude towards those who say "God is in the little boy's butt," wear magnificent clothes, and say "may the group leader bless you," but in the end, do nothing at all.
Thinking of this, Aslan couldn't help but think of a little story that could be called a joke, but also made one think deeply. A certain priest shouted loudly at the demon inside a boy's body, "Get out of this boy's body! You have naturally entered this boy's body, you demon!", while the demon merely replied, "Don't you also go in and out of this boy's body every night?"
But presumably, a certain young priest—at least, a priest who was young in appearance—probably didn't have much mind to punish these parasites. After all, the Great Grail War was about to begin. Whether it was to realize his own long-cherished wish or to avenge the grudges of the past, this priest needed to go all out to prepare for the competition. It was to prepare the Noble Phantasm for the Heroic Spirit he was preparing to summon in advance that this priest had come here. After all, this EX-rank Noble Phantasm was powerful even among all the immeasurable Noble Phantasms, but wanting to summon it was a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and money-consuming process.
This young, dark-skinned, white-haired priest, after leading Aslan out of the underground church in this war-torn land, had a thoughtful look on his face. As for why there was still a church in this place, it was, of course, because war easily breeds resentment, and resentment easily attracts evil. War and blood are always the easiest things to awaken demons. For the peace of the human world, the existence of an underground church was still necessary. And the reason why this young priest had a thoughtful expression on his face was because he was preparing to participate in the Holy Grail War. Therefore, he was now considering whether he should cooperate and build a good relationship with the Son of God, Aslan. This way, after the Holy Grail War began, he would have an extra source of combat support.
The young priest, thinking of this, straightened his clothes, a smile on his face. He extended his hand to Aslan. "Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet. Shirou Kotomine. Of course, this is my pseudonym. My real name is Amakusa Shirou Tokisada. You can call me Shirou, or Tokisada."
Aslan also extended his own hand and smiled at the young boy before him. "Hello. I'll just call you Shirou. As the only two Heroic Spirits in this world at the moment—of course, my situation is rather special—I hope we can keep in touch and interact more." After all, in this world line, this young priest had indeed obtained the Holy Grail in the end and made a wish to it. Regardless of whether the future world line would change, whether this world was the one he was familiar with or an extension of that world, the problem was not important. After all, he couldn't possibly go and help Darnic of Yggdmillennia.
Compared to these two different decision-makers of the black and red factions, Aslan still preferred this young kid who was trying his best to realize his own long-cherished wish. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel that, as expected of a young person, he still had the drive to change the world. The current Aslan, as long as the world didn't collapse, would not take the initiative to change anything. Previously, in his own world, he had also been directly pushed out of the Tower of Avalon by Merlin, and only then had he reluctantly started to work.
Amakusa Shirou, upon seeing Aslan say the words "interact more" to him, had an even more satisfied smile on his face. To have such a harvest on the first day was already enough. There were still several years until the Holy Grail War. Amakusa Shirou believed that in this period of time, he had enough time to get a little closer to this Son of God before him.
"May I ask what arrangements the Son of God Aslan has next? I still need to stay in this land of war for a while longer. If you plan to travel in this era, I think the Church should be able to arrange a suitable guide for you."
Aslan had, during this period, found out the timeline he was in. There were at least eight years until the start of this world's Great Grail War. This period of time was enough for Aslan to give himself a little vacation. And so, Aslan nodded. With someone else footing the bill, it was equivalent to a free eight-year global tour. It would be a real pity not to participate.
It's a good chance to have another honeymoon with Melusine. Speaking of which, which number honeymoon is this? Ah, forget it, who cares~
