Book 6: Chapter 2:1: Noble Phantasm: Ancestor, Save Me! Part 1

“Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail. If you submit to this will and this reason, then answer!” The incantation for summoning Heroic Spirits continued.

“Your younger sister is summoning you already. Go quickly; don’t make your younger sister wait.” For the first time, Alaya rejoiced to see a magic circle, truly.

“I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven. I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell!” The magic circle brightened as Chen Heng’s figure slowly turned translucent.

“Alaya, I’d better see you again once the Holy Grail War ends. Otherwise...you might not live to see the next day. Even Root cannot save you—my word on it.”

“From the Seventh Heaven, attend to my three great words of power!”

“Right, right. Don’t worry. You should go quickly!” Alaya nodded hurriedly.

“Come forth from the restraints of reincarnation, protector of the holy balance!” After the summoning incantation was completed, the magic circle flared with light, engulfing Chen Heng. When the light vanished, he was gone.

After Chen Heng disappeared, Alaya plopped down on the floor without a care for her image—not that she had an image in the first place.

“Hey! Alaya, why are you sitting on the floor? Did your negotiation with Chen Heng fail?” Not a few seconds after Alaya had sat, another figure materialized within this empty space—the other Counter Force, Gaia.

“Mind your own business, Gaia.”

“Hey, don’t be like that. We once shared the world consciousness’s authority. Aren’t we inseparable now? This is quite rude of you.”

“Like I would believe you. If we were inseparable, you wouldn’t have backstabbed me.”

“The incident with Sigurd was merely a blunder; why won’t you believe me? That’s right. I just got back from crafting an identity for Chen Heng. I assume you’ve already had your talk with him since you are here so early?”

Gaia took the seat Chen Heng had occupied, looking at Alaya, who remained slumped on the floor.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

“Are you...my Master?” A voice emerged from the giant summoning ritual in an open field. The once-blinding light dissipated.

“No, I’m not your Master; I’m your elder sister. Call me Elder Sister.” Sirin, confident in her successful summoning of Chen Heng, teased him after the light faded.

“...Sirin, are you dissatisfied with being my younger sister?” Chen Heng glanced at Sirin, then at Yakumo Yukari and Doctor Roman standing nearby. He slowly closed the distance between him and Sirin.

“Hey! Elder Brother, what are you doing? Stay back! Don’t come any closer. And, Elder Brother, stop looking at me like that; it’s scary...I was wrong! If you come any closer, I’m going to run away.”

As Chen Heng slowly approached, the panicky Sirin had intended to use her spatial jump ability to create some distance between them but found the surrounding space impossible to tear through, as if someone had fortified it.

“You’re too late.” Displaying a superior grasp of spatial ability, Chen Heng had sealed Sirin’s spatial jump ability. With that, he extended his mischievous hands toward Sirin’s soft face.

Yakumo Yukari and Doctor Roman let this pass without comment, considering this merely playful interaction between siblings—albeit not particularly friendly for Sirin.

“You’re so unfair, Elder Brother! I’m supposed to be the Master and you the Servant. How could you treat me like this?” Sirin complained, rubbing her face, her gaze fixed on Chen Heng with dissatisfaction.

“Do you think I wanted to be a Servant? I only chose this role because you wanted to come. What else are you dissatisfied with?” Chen Heng’s hands, which had just stopped, resumed their mischief.

“Stop! I’m content, very content.” Sirin retreated a step. She knew she couldn’t beat Chen Heng and wouldn’t want to, either.

“Doctor, Yakumo Yukari, good evening. I believe this is our first meeting, isn’t it?”

“Hello, Chen Heng. While it’s your first time meeting us, it’s not ours.” Yakumo Yukari took a step forward and extended her hand to Chen Heng.

That was true. Chen Heng had hosted several livestreams but rarely watched others. Of the two, only Doctor Roman had ever streamed, touring Chaldea.
