"That's great, welcome to the team, Artoria."
Takumi couldn't help but smile happily after receiving this satisfactory answer.
"Then please give me more advice in the future." Artoria also smiled when she saw this.
Immediately, Takumi summoned Alaya and Gaia.
But this time, before he could point his sharp spear at the ground, two lolis jumped out first.
"Boss, you don't have to be like this. Just call us if something happens. Don't always use knives or guns. Our hearts won't be able to bear it," Alaya looked at Takumi helplessly and said.
Gaia also stopped Takumi and said, "Stop."
Seeing this, Takumi put away the magic spear, shrugged indifferently, waved his hands, and said:
"Don't worry about such details. Now it's your turn to fulfill your agreement."
"Hand over the true bodies of Artoria, Nero, and Souji."
When Alaya heard this, her expression immediately looked pained.
There was nothing she could do, because these three people were all on her side, and none of them were under Gaia.
Especially Artoria; this was a powerful card in her hands.
Well, although Artoria has not yet ascended to the Throne of Heroes, strictly speaking, she does not belong to Alaya yet. But the contract had been signed, so she could be regarded as an intern employee.
Moreover, even before she became a regular member, Alaya could still use Artoria to do some things. Now she had to spit out the prize she had obtained, which really made her uncomfortable.
But Alaya did not regret it, or in other words, she did not dare to go back on her word with Takumi. She was afraid that if she reneged, Takumi would really set off fireworks on the Earth with one shot.
Between life and resources, of course, Alaya chose life.
She raised her hand, and rays of light quickly fell from the sky. One of them landed on Artoria, covering her, and the others landed next to her.
"Um? This is..."
After the light dissipated, Takumi couldn't help being stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. Because there were not only three people who emerged from the pillars of light.
There were two people on Nero's side. One was the normal Nero in her classic Red Rose costume, and the other made Takumi almost collapse.
She had the same face and hair color as Nero, but her eyes were red, and her long blond hair was naturally scattered. There was a pair of large horns with a black and red gradient on the top of her head, and there were some mysterious red scales on her face.
She was wearing a set of tights, black armor on the outside, and a pair of stiletto-heeled combat boots. Behind her was a cloak with a black exterior and a red interior. She was holding a pistol that looked like two Aestus Estus swords merged into a broadsword.
Takumi recognized her; this was Nero too.
In other words, it is a variant of Nero, Beast VI! The Beast of Sodom! Draco!
Hiss~! What happened? Why is she here too?! Did Alaya make a mistake?
Takumi was thinking this, but on the surface, he continued to observe calmly.
There were also two people on Okita Souji's side.
One was the normal pink comedic samurai, while the other had wheat-colored skin and long white hair. Her clothes were much bolder, her height and figure were better, and she was taller than anyone else, carrying a super-long sword. It was Majin Souji, or Okita Alter!
When it came to Artoria, it was even more lively.
Saber, Saber Alter, Lancer Artoria (The Rabbit King), Lancer Alter, Saber Lily, and even Caster Artoria and the Lion King (Goddess version)!
Good guy! The Artoria family came out in full force! This is it! (MHX is in the Servant Universe, which is not under the control of Alaya, so she is not here.)
This number of people is enough for them to fight a Holy Grail War among themselves! (These Artorias are real bodies and living beings, so they only differ in version, not in class.)
"Boss, these are their identities, including the possible aspects they each possess." Alaya glanced at the bodies of these Heroic Spirits with nostalgia, and then said to Takumi with a pained face, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this?"
Takumi nodded. "Well, it's done well. I'm very satisfied."
Can he be dissatisfied?
He really didn't expect that Alaya would be so smart and directly bought him a 'buy one get many free' deal!
Takumi was even a little excited and wanted to kiss Alaya.
All he could say was, is there such a good thing?! Give me more in the future!
"As long as you are satisfied." Alaya gave a somewhat ugly smile, and then turned around, not looking at these Heroic Spirits. Without them, it would be really painful!
"You have a big appetite."
Lancer Artoria looked at the group of different selves around her and couldn't help but complain to Takumi speechlessly.
"Moreover, are you sure that Dimensional City has so many resources allocated to us?"
With so many Artorias, not to mention the consumption of rations, but also the agreed-upon opportunity to rebuild Camelot, at least five are needed now. (Except for Saber Lily and Caster Artoria.)
After she complained, all the Artorias turned and looked at Takumi.
They had all been informed of the situation by Alaya and knew that Lancer Artoria had joined Takumi's Dimensional City on the condition that the Dimensional City find a world where Camelot could be rebuilt for her.
This was not a problem at first, but now that there are more people, whether there are enough resources has become a big problem. They also want to rebuild a Camelot of their own.
"Don't worry, as long as you want it, you will have it. There are more heavens and realms than you think. You will always find the right one; it's just a matter of time."
Takumi was not worried about this and generously promised to find a suitable world for each of them.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Lancer Alter suddenly walked up, staring at Takumi with a pair of cold eyes.
"What's wrong? Any questions?" Takumi asked doubtfully.
"I want the second one."
"What?" Takumi was slightly stunned.
Lancer Alter repeated, "I want the second suitable world."
The first one belongs to Lancer Artoria. Because she provided everyone with such a rare opportunity, Lancer Artoria didn't grab it, but she can still fight for the second one.
"Wait! Why do you want it just because you say you want it?"
When the Artorias behind heard this, they couldn't help it. Saber Alter also came up and looked directly at Lancer Alter and said, "Of course, everyone who sees this kind of thing has a share, and it doesn't matter what you say."
"That's right, you can't have the final say; it should be discussed together by everyone."
Saber also stood up. Although she didn't like standing on the same front as Saber Alter, she had no choice but to endure it in order to rebuild Camelot as soon as possible.
"It doesn't matter what you said, and I was the one who came first. If you have any opinions, you have to queue up later."
"Why did you come first? It was clear that I landed before you. I came before you."
"If you put it this way, I should be the first; I am the original."
The three people suddenly quarreled over the order of resource allocation.
The Lion King glanced at the three people here but did not join in. Instead, she came to Lancer Artoria's side and started talking with her.
As for Saber Lily and Caster Artoria, they looked at these versions of themselves with embarrassed expressions and shrank into corners for fear of being affected.
"..." Takumi scratched his head. No? Don't I have the final say on how resources are allocated? What's the use of you arguing? You might as well just come over and please me.
Huh? It seems like something can be done here!
Something suddenly came to Takumi's mind. You don't want to let the people of Camelot down, right? You don't want to be the last one to rebuild Camelot, right? Such a plot...
This seems... very exciting!
However, just as he was thinking this, all the Artorias suddenly looked at him.
"I always feel like you are having some very bad idea."
Lancer Artoria looked at him with suspicion, and the other Artorias nodded in agreement.
"Haha, how is that possible? You are thinking too much."
Takumi laughed and said perfunctorily, and quickly restrained his mind and stopped thinking. At the same time, he cursed in his heart: Damn Instinct! This is too sensitive!
The Artorias looked at him deeply. Immediately, they didn't care about it and continued to fight for resources.
Takumi wiped away the non-existent cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention, being stared at by so many Artorias was quite stressful.
"Hey, are you the City Lord of that Dimensional City?"
At this time, Draco also came to Takumi and looked him up and down.
"It's me, what's wrong?"
Takumi nodded, and at the same time began to look at Draco carefully.
Not to mention, although they both have the appearance of Nero, they are completely different in temperament and have a unique style.
Moreover, Draco is taller than the girl Nero and looks much more mature, which is also a plus point for Takumi.
Especially the pair of big horns; although they look a bit different, they reminded Takumi of the handlebars of a motorcycle.
I just didn't know how these big horns felt in my hand. Takumi wanted to try it.
"I ask you, is this Dimensional City of yours really that interesting?" Draco asked.
"Hmm, I also want to know this question."
When Nero heard this, she also came up with a smile.
"Well, it varies from person to person. Different people will have different views on the same thing. There is no world that everyone finds interesting, but in Dimensional City, I can guarantee that you will always meet a world you like."
Takumi thought for a while and answered this question seriously.
"Well, this is true. What you said is very pertinent, so I can rest assured."
Nero nodded, said no more, and turned to look at Draco.
Only then did she realize that there was another version of herself. Moreover, it was still a Beast!
Are they fake?! Those slanders from her priests... are they all telling the truth?! How is this possible! She herself has no relevant memories.
"Well, as long as it's fun." Draco nodded, then looked at Nero and sneered, "What's wrong? Foolish me, can't you believe that I am your true face?"
"Ugh~!"
When Nero heard this, her face suddenly bulged with anger. But she couldn't refute it, because she was really surprised by Draco's existence.
"Haha, your stupid expression is really nice, it's really funny."
Draco couldn't help but be happy when she saw Nero's reaction.
"Smile, smile, what's so funny? It's you, too. Have you ever laughed at yourself like this?!"
Even though Nero had a good temper, she couldn't help but get angry at this time and glared at Draco.
Draco didn't say anything and pointed at the Artorias next to him.
Nero looked back, and then she saw Saber Alter mocking Saber.
"We are all Artoria, what are you doing with this? Stop pretending, none of us know who is who. We are all not good people, but you are the only one who is acting arrogant?"
"Well..."
Nero couldn't find a retort in an instant, and she looked unhappy with herself. Is this a common practice in the Type-Moon World?
If Takumi heard Nero's thoughts at this time, he would definitely answer instantly: It's true!
However, there are exceptions, such as Okita Souji.
Okita Souji and Okita Alter were getting along very harmoniously at this time.
Of course, if you ignore Okita Souji's dejected look after being severely beaten.
But compared to the other two parties, the situation between the two of them is considered good, at least not to the level of mutual hostility.
"Don't be complacent. When Okita-san and I go to the Dimensional City, we can still cure the sick and weak body. As for the figure... Okita-san, I am also in the growth stage!"
Okita Souji roared unwillingly at Okita Alter.
"..."
Okita Alter scratched her head in confusion, not knowing where she had offended the other party.
However, her blank expression shocked Okita Souji even more.
"So that's it, you don't regard me as your opponent at all, haha..."
Okita Souji went to the side to draw circles in a depressed mood.
When Okita Alter saw this, she didn't go to comfort her because she found Takumi looking at her, so she came over.
"Hello Takumi-san, I am Alter, Okita Souji. I will be your sword from now on. Please give me your advice."
Okita Alter gave Takumi a polite salute.
She had already understood the situation, and she had no objection to leaving with Takumi. Rather, Okita Alter was very grateful to Takumi.
If it weren't for Takumi, then she would not have a body, and she would still be in a state where her spiritual power might disappear at any time.
But now, she has separated from Okita Souji's body and has become an independent existence with a physical life. All this is thanks to Takumi.
It can be said that Takumi is her savior and reborn parent.
Therefore, not only does Okita Alter have no objection to leaving with Takumi and following him from now on, she is even very happy.
"Well, please teach me, Alter."
Takumi saw that Okita Alter was so well-behaved and replied with a smile.
Seeing that Takumi accepted her, Okita Alter also smiled happily.
"Ah, it seems that you are quite popular."
When Nero saw this, she couldn't help teasing Takumi.
Takumi did not answer but looked at Alaya and Gaia.
"Okay, that's it for now. I'll call you next time."
It's none of your business, just step back.
But what surprised Takumi was that Gaia left, but Alaya didn't leave. She stayed where she was, looking at Takumi hesitantly.
