"Leticia appearing here is absolutely not a coincidence.
She is most likely chosen as Jeanne's vessel to participate in this Holy Grail War.
It's just… why would a Ruler appear?" Wang Chong began to ponder.
"First, let's rule out the FGO setting.
For a Ruler to appear in a Holy Grail War, there are generally only two situations: one is that the form of the Holy Grail War is very special, and the outcome is unknown, meaning the Holy Grail judges that a Ruler is needed; the other is that the Holy Grail War's influence might distort the world."
"From the current perspective, is it because I summoned more Servants, thus specializsing the Holy Grail War? Or is it because of my appearance that the influence of this Holy Grail War might distort the world?" Wang Chong speculated.
Regardless of the situation, it was not good news for Wang Chong.
Because this meant that the Counter Force had already set its sights on him.
But then again, in this day and age, it would be strange for a transmigrator not to be targeted by the Counter Force.
An existence completely unrecorded by the Root, how big of a variable it is, Gaia and Alaya, those two brats, must surely know.
"The only miscalculation was suddenly meeting Jeanne and letting her see my true face, which makes things difficult now… Should I spend some effort to take her down?" Wang Chong's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ah! I see the church." Leticia pointed to the Fuyuki Church ahead and said.
"Yes, then you can just go straight in, there's a very kind priest here." Wang Chong said.
"Mhm!" Leticia had only walked a few steps when she stopped, turned back, and asked, "Sir, aren't you coming in?"
"No, I'm just waiting for a friend here." Wang Chong shook his head and said.
"Is that so… Then thank you, sir, for leading the way." Leticia smiled, waved goodbye to Wang Chong, and walked into the church.
"I hope she just considers me a normal passerby from now on." Wang Chong thought to himself as he walked towards Kirei Kotomine's residence, putting on his mask.
…
"So, this girl is very special?" Kirei Kotomine stared at the devoutly praying Leticia through the narrow slit in the confessional, then turned to ask Wang Chong.
"That's right… She has the scent of spiritual possession on her; if I'm not mistaken, it should be Heroic Spirit possession." Wang Chong said slowly.
"Heroic Spirit possession?
Is she also a Master in the Holy Grail War?
And a Master and Servant combined into one?" Kirei Kotomine asked with some surprise.
"No, she is not one of the combatants; otherwise, your father should have noticed.
The Heroic Spirit on her does not belong to any of the seven main classes.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Ruler."
"Ruler? Then wouldn't that be…"
"That's right, Kirei, she will replace your father's position to judge who the final victor of this Holy Grail War is.
Your teacher's plan will probably suffer." Wang Chong said, a dangerous smile on his lips.
"That truly is… delightful." Kirei Kotomine also showed a knowing smile, finding it immensely amusing to think that his teacher would no longer be able to maintain that elegance because of this.
"Then do you need me to have Hassan keep an eye on her?" Kirei Kotomine asked.
"No… A Ruler has the ability to nullify Assassin's "Presence Concealment" with a search range of a ten-kilometer radius.
Using a Heroic Spirit to tail her would easily be detected; it's best to use some mundane forces to find her residence." Wang Chong said.
"I understand." Kirei Kotomine nodded.
"How is Tokiomi doing now?
Has he not summoned a Heroic Spirit yet?" Wang Chong asked.
"Teacher should be summoning his Heroic Spirit tonight." Kirei Kotomine said.
"Then it seems I'll have to stay away from streetlights at night from now on."
"?"
…
After bidding farewell to Kirei Kotomine, Wang Chong first returned home to have Kariya Matou begin summoning his original Berserker Lancelot.
Although it was a bit of a shame that the Mad Enhancement wasted Lancelot's abilities, overall, Berserker Lancelot was still very useful, especially against a certain Streetlight King, where he had a surprisingly effective impact.
"A fragment of a Knight of the Round Table, indeed, it was with this that Lancelot was summoned.
However, this Holy Relic is quite useful; perhaps it can be used to summon other Knights of the Round Table in the future." Wang Chong mused.
"Kariya Matou, you and Lancelot should bond well these next few days.
Then just act according to the plan; who knows, you might even be able to suppress Tokiomi Tohsaka's arrogance." Wang Chong said.
"Thank you, Lord Wang Chong, for giving me this opportunity; I will surely not disappoint Lord Wang Chong." Kariya Matou clenched his fists and knelt before Wang Chong, saying.
"Go," Wang Chong said, dismissing him, then once again walked out of the Matou Family residence.
It was already evening, and the sun had almost set. Usually, by this time, Wang Chong would be obediently staying inside the Matou Family home. However, he had just received a request from Semiramis. She wanted him to choose a suitable location in Fuyuki City to set up a Magic Boundary, so that she could hide and construct the Air Garden. Wang Chong thought about it, and the most suitable place was Mount Enzo. It would be easiest to mobilize his Ruinous Power there, and his strength would also be at its peak there.
This way, even if the Empress's Air Garden was discovered prematurely, he would still be able to stop any invading Servants.
"I'm a bit hungry... Let's go to that ramen shop I usually frequent." Wang Chong headed towards the tonkotsu ramen shop where he usually had late-night meals. But as he approached the shop's sign, he heard a very flustered young girl's voice.
"I'm so sorry! Boss, I really left my wallet in my room. I'm not trying to skip out on the bill on purpose. I can leave something important as collateral here, and then come back to redeem it when I get the money, how about that?"
The young girl apologized repeatedly.
"Hmm? Isn't this Leticia? What a coincidence?" Wang Chong frowned, initially wanting to turn and leave, but he was already too close. Leaving abruptly might alert the Jeanne d'Arc inside Leticia, so he sighed and stepped forward, saying, "Boss, I'll pay for her. Also, Boss, give me a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen, my usual."
"Eh? It's you! What a coincidence, you're called... called..." Leticia frowned, thinking hard, but couldn't recall the name.
"Don't bother, I haven't told you my name yet," Wang Chong said.
"Oh! Right, right. I forgot to introduce myself too," Leticia said with a hint of apology, then continued, "My name is Leticia, sir. We meet again. I didn't expect to trouble you to pay for me again. May I ask your name?"
"I'm the fourth child in my family, everyone usually likes to call me Shirou," Wang Chong said, not telling her his real name, but directly using someone else's name. Anyway, he was already following someone else's script, so why not use it?
"Okay, Mr. Shirou, um, could you please wait for me for a while? I'll go back to my room now to get my wallet and pay you back," Leticia said.
"No, there's no need to trouble yourself to go back," Wang Chong shook his head and said.
"How can that be? How can I let you pay for nothing?" Leticia shook her head, saying very firmly.
"It's unknown how long it will take you to go back and forth. I'm also very busy and can't wait here for you indefinitely," Wang Chong said.
"This..." Leticia looked troubled. Her upbringing had taught her to repay kindness, and she couldn't accept help from others for free.
"How about this, do you believe in fate?"
"Fate?"
"Look, both times we've met today, you've come to me for help. Perhaps we'll have a chance to meet again in the future. At that time, you can pay me back for what I've covered today, how about that?" Wang Chong said.
"Hehehe, Mr. Shirou, what you said is very interesting. Hmm, then I understand." Leticia was clearly convinced by Wang Chong's words and nodded.
For a time, the two unconsciously started chatting again, mostly about their own lives and the cultures and beliefs of different countries. They chatted very harmoniously.
Soon, Wang Chong finished his ramen and prepared to head towards Mount Enzo. To his surprise, Leticia also headed in the direction of Mount Enzo.
"You're also going towards Mount Enzo?" Wang Chong asked, puzzled.
"Yes, the place I'm staying is Liudong Temple on Mount Enzo. I just arrived here today, and I was looking for rental options, and then I found Liudong Temple. The Abbot there is quite nice, the price is very cheap, and they even support daily payments. So I'm staying there temporarily," Leticia said.
"You, a church believer, and a young girl at that, going to live in a Buddhist temple, doesn't that seem very strange?" Wang Chong couldn't help but retort.
