Damn… I totally forgot about that. The First Tokyo Holy Grail War and it is one of the most dangerous grail wars. The servants are also OP. Let's see.

Servant Rank 1st – Saber; True Name: Arthur Pendragon

Servant Rank 2nd – Berserker; True Name: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Servant Rank 3rd – Archer; True Name: Arash

Servant Rank 4th – Lancer; True Name: Brynhildr

Servant Rank 5th – Rider; True Name: Ramesses II aka Ozymandias

Servant Rank 6th – Caster; True Name: Paracelsus

Servant Rank 7th – Assassin; True Name: One of the Hassan-i-Sabbah, Hassan of Serenity

Thank god I've read that novel from Beast's Lair. If not, I'll be a goner. And most of all, Manaka Sajyou. The damn girl is proficient in every magecraft in the entire world, with talent that surpasses even the magi from the Age of the Gods. Moreover, she has been connected to the Root ever since she was born. This would make the three founding families of the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars cringe their teeth so hard. Not only them, but most of the traditional magus would also likely bang their head with tofu to kill themselves. Including Lorelei. Manaka's magic circuit quality is EX rank.

Talk about the magic circuit, what about mine? I haven't checked it. I've already fought a battle and haven't even checked my magic circuit. Good job me! I need to go home first. I should take Sigma to see his new home. I still have some months to prepare. I hailed a taxi and went straight home with my newly adopted son. When we got home, surprisingly, he was the one who initiates the talk.

Sigma: Who was she?

Vergil: Who? Lorelei?

Sigma: Yes.

Vergil: Your new mother?

Sigma: No, I'm not talking about that.

At that, I let out a sigh.

Vergil: Kid, your new mother is one of the most badass women in the world. Most won't dare to say "no" to her. Even I need to make sure I do not step over the bound if I want to argue with her. It took a lot of courage in me to talk back to her in the office.

He went silent after that. I know. It would be a lot to take in for him. But I want him to live like a normal person until he starts his studies in a clock tower. When he started studying there, Waver will already be taking the name Lord El-Melloi II and starts teaching there. I'm sure Waver will make him a good magus and in the right way. I showed his new room after talking with him for a while. And I dived into my bed to think for the future.

Now, where to send him to study? Should I take him with me to Tokyo? Yeah. I could make him study in Japan. I will be staying there after the First Tokyo Holy Grail War after all. But, here's the question. Will I survive? Even I'm not sure myself. And with Manaka there, I have even lesser chance for survival. She was connected to root since birth. Then how about me? I'm sure I'm connected to root before coming here. How about now? Do I connect to root just like Shiki Ryougi? Let's try. I don't have another personality but seems like I'm still connected to root. Then why am I not erased by Counter Force? Another topic to think about later.

Now, establishing a connection to 「 」. It was then, many of the information rush into my brain. After a while, it doesn't hurt so much. But it was draining my prana like crazy. I… must… stop… the connection. Only after that, it was bearable for me. My prana almost s.u.c.k.e.d dry. I looked at the clock and 10 minutes. It is my limit. I don't know if I could break through my limit. But, 10 minutes is my limit now. So, in those 10 minutes, I can interfere with reality to an extent. Not bad. I would need to rest about a day after that though. Hey! At least I'm sure I can survive against Manaka. But there's a bigger problem. Bigger than Manaka. The Beast Class servant. How am I supposed to stop that? Should I let Saber do his thing? He would need to release 6 seals and the power of other 6 servants to push back the Beast into slumber until the next war. I will support the way I can and if possible, I would like to stop Manaka from summoning the Beast.

Enough about that for now. I need to think where I should put Sigma while I'm in the Grail War. He would be eleven next year. I should go over there and make some friends. How about making friends with Raiga? I could let Sigma stay with him while I'm participating in the Grail War. I'm sure Raiga could be trusted by seeing Shirou interacting with him. And I know I could trust him if what the root show me is true. I'll prepare and go to Japan next month. I need to say something to Lorelei first though. She won't let me go if I told her that I'm going to participate in the Holy Grail War. I'll just tell her that I would be letting Sigma study in Japan and I'll be staying together with him. Yes, I could do that.

And just like that, a month has passed. The relationship between Lorelei and Sigma increased significantly. It all started when Lorelei noticed that Sigma has done his works perfectly. As a perfectionist herself, she took a liking to that boy. I've also checked my magic circuit and I'm amazed by myself. I have 100 high-quality Magic Circuits. Even Luviagelita Edelfelt has that many Circuits because of her Magic crests. I have 1000 units of output in Minimum. Great! By the way, I can connect to root for about 15 minutes now. Sugoi desho?! Saikou desho?! Tensai desho?! (I'm amazing! I'm the best! I'm a genius!)

We got everything we need. So, it's time to head to Japan. I can't wait to eat their food. But, first thing first. I need to go and say goodbye to Lorelei. I can't let her hunt me down with her battalion again. I left Sigma on the down floor and I went to her office alone. I know her right hand would be cut off during my stay in Japan. But I won't warn her about it. It would teach her a lesson not to underestimate her opponents. I feel bad about that but, it is for her own good. Trading a hand with a life worth lesson. I could say that it is a good trade. She would not listen even if I told her not to underestimate her opponents.

Lorelei: We won't be able to see each other for 8 years.

Vergil: Well, you can come and visit us. And we could also come and visit you during the summer holidays.

Lorelei: But, it feels weird.

Vergil: Weird?

Lorelei: All this time, I have you by my side. The longest time you stay away from me in a month. But now, you will be staying away from being for 8 years. I don't know if I would be able to handle it. I might drop everything I'm doing if I can't handle it anymore.

Vergil: Nope. Don't do that, please. You need to maintain your face as the Queen of the clock tower. But, I also wish to stay with you too.

I said with a small smile on my face.

Vergil: Don't worry. We'll visit if we can.

Lorelei kissed me on the lips. And said

Lorelei: Okay. Just take care of yourself.

Vergil: Bye Lorelei. I'll miss you.

Lorelei: Bye.

And with that, I went out of the office without looking back. I won't be able to leave if I look at her downcast face. I went and took Sigma and went straight to the airport. After about 12 hours later, we arrived at Tokyo International Airport aka Haneda Airport. And took the train to Fuyuki. After staying at Hyatt Hotel for a night, we went house hunting and got a simple two-story house at the southern end of Miyama Town. Thanks to my connection to the root, I know exactly what Raiga Fujimura likes and quickly friends with him.

Now, it is time for my departure and I told Sigma to be a good boy. When I was about to leave,

Sigma: Come back home alive, you stupid old man.

It was the first time he calls me something related to father, and it made me really happy.

Vergil: Of course, kid. Who the hell do you think I am?!

Sigma: I don't understand your reference sometimes.

Vergil: Haha. Bye, kid.

After saying goodbye, I went to the train station and go straight to Tokyo. I booked myself at The Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, and stay there until nightfall. During the night, I went into the park and prepare to summon my servant. I don't know which servant to summon. So, I just pull a gacha.

Let silver and steel be the essence.

Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation.

Let red be the color I pay tribute to.

Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall.

Let the four cardinal gates close.

Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate."

"Let it be filled. Again. Again. Again. Again.

Let it be filled fivefold for every turn, simply breaking asunder with every filling.

After all the wind settles down, I see my servant. I saw, blood-red hair flowing down like a river, a red cloak, and black armor. I know her. I'm sure my luck rank is E. But why did I get her?

??? : Although I'm sure I'm to be summoned as an Avenger but now I'm a Servant Ruler. As per your summon, I've arrived. I ask of you, are you my master?

It was how I met your mother, kids.
