CK Simulation, Creating the Style of Tsukino Fumi

"Because I specifically told him to keep it from you, stop chatting with that magician and keep a close eye on me, Quinn Europa. I came here specifically for you." The blonde girl interrupted Quinn's conversation with Kenneth, her originally bright smile now tinged with dissatisfaction at being ignored, her puffed-up cheeks making her look like an angry hamster as she stood directly in front of Quinn.

"Alright, it was my fault for neglecting you. What brings you here, Your Highness?"

Looking at the person who had summoned him to Fuyuki, Quinn skillfully adopted a fawning expression he hadn't used in a long time, perfectly embodying the role of a treacherous minister.

Morgan or Medusa would be trembling with fear by now, but the blonde girl was completely unfazed. Her displeasure vanished, and she happily picked up her fork.

Chapter 167

With her back held high and her fair neck held high, she said, "Don't call me Your Highness, I have a name."

“Arquette, that’s my real name.” The princess of the True Ancestor, the vessel of the Moon UO, introduced herself with a smile, “I’ve come to collect my debt from you!”

Chapter 159 Where did I end up? Is this still the moon?

Arcueid is a free-spirited, open-minded, pure, innocent, willful, childlike, naive, and romantic "girl".

She has existed on Earth for 800-900 years, but compared to her "mother," she is undoubtedly still a young girl. Therefore, Quinn can understand when she makes mistakes in her speech, such as when she refers to herself as her creditor.

“To be precise, it should be between my ancestor and your ancestor, right?” Quinn looked at Kenneth, who was still standing to the side, and did not directly refute Arcueid’s statement. He simply suggested that the other party change the location to continue the conversation. However, this suggestion was clearly a bit beyond Arcueid’s comprehension.

Although this princess of the True Ancestor has existed on Earth for a long time, she doesn't have much actual social experience. She spends most of her time in a deep sleep, and when she is awake, she is hunting prey. It's a bit too difficult for such a person to quickly understand Quinn's hints.

Fortunately, the amount of information Quinn conveyed was immediately understandable to the other person present. Therefore, before Arcueid could even speak, Kenneth abandoned his earlier guilt and turned to gaze at his student.

"The ancestors of the Europa family...were related to the Moon King?"

“Yes, I found some records about the family in Greece.” Quinn nodded to Kenneth, which earned him a solemn expression from the clock tower monarch. “In the past, our ancestors made some deals with the Moon King and owed him a debt.”

The fact that the True Ancestor's princess was interested in his student was already unbelievable to Kenneth. In his mind, Quinn's family history wasn't very long, and being related to the Knights of the Round Table was already considered a great honor. But now, his student's family lineage was actually linked to Arcueid's ancestors...

This is beyond the realm of inconceivable or climbing the social ladder; it's something that needs to be recorded inside the clock tower and placed on a key monitoring list.

The reason is simple: Arcueid, as the princess of the True Ancestor, is descended from the Moon King, one of the greatest dangers ever faced by humanity. The Moon King was a formidable enemy who could fight against the Clock Tower's ancestor, the Second Magician, and even surpassed the Jewel King. Moreover, the Moon King's existence was far more ancient than humans could imagine.

To be associated with such a person, even in a creditor-debtor relationship... Kenneth wanted to imagine just how wealthy the Europa family must have been. If we only consider the length of their history, his student would probably be the heir to the oldest magic family in the current Clock Tower.

"It's owed to me, it's mine!"

Arcueid, whose spellcasting had been interrupted, finally realized from Kenneth's attitude that Quinn's debt was not something that could be casually discussed in front of others. Therefore, she did not question why Quinn claimed his debt was his ancestor's, but simply emphasized her ownership of the debt.

She seemed extremely concerned about the debt, so much so that she glared angrily at Quinn as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes.

Arcueid's attitude made Kenneth give up the idea of ​​continuing to question her on the spot. After all, he didn't want to anger the princess. If Arcueid got angry, no one present would necessarily survive. Although the records of the Clock Tower showed that this princess of the True Ancestors rarely harmed ordinary people, in his eyes, whether it was a True Ancestor or an ordinary Dead Apostle, a vampire was still a vampire, the natural enemy of mankind.

No one can say for sure whether these inhuman monsters will go on a killing spree in the city over the smallest thing.

"Anyway, I'm heading back to London now. So much has happened in this Holy Grail War, and I'll be very busy for a while, especially... I still need to figure out how to repair the Magic Crest. Quinn, you'll be staying with the princess for now; she'll be in Japan for a while. Also, I have some things to take care of in Fuyuki that I need your help with..."

Kenneth became dejected again as he spoke. Quinn didn't ask any more questions about the details of the Holy Grail War, but instead looked at Gawain, signaling his eldest son to continue following Kenneth to ensure that Kenneth could reach London safely.

If Kenneth can return to the Clock Tower, he will most likely survive.

Gawain nodded. He never interfered in his father's private life, but he sighed inwardly that Quinn always attracted women's attention wherever he went. He wished he had that charm. But clearly, he had inherited many of Quinn's good qualities, but not the biggest one.

Watching Gawain and Kenneth board the plane back to London, Quinn finally turned his attention back to Arcueid, whom he had neglected for so long.

"Let's talk somewhere else. Where are you staying now?"

……

Fuyuki Hotel.

Quinn followed Arcueid into the hotel building, which in the original story would have been blown up by a certain righteous ally 1.0, with a subtle expression. They took the elevator all the way to a luxury suite on the top floor. After making sure that no one could hear his conversation with Arcueid, he spoke up.

Why are you in Fuyuki City?

“Because I came to see you.” Hearing Quinn take the initiative to speak, Arcueid, who had been sulking, immediately forgot her previous dissatisfaction.

"I mean, why did you come to Fuyuki to find me? You're Caster's Master, aren't you?"

“Because Caster said that once I get to Fuyuki and win the Holy Grail War, I will be able to see you.” Arcueid didn’t hide anything from Quinn’s question. “After all, Caster is a puppet you created, so her words are definitely trustworthy.”

Alright, no wonder the Holy Grail War ended overnight. You guys are really something, who can fight you?

Upon hearing the word "doll," Quinn's biggest confusion was finally resolved. According to the original setup for the Fourth Holy Grail War, the combination of Morgan's specialized version of Nightless Gawain and Kenneth would not necessarily guarantee a victory, but it would certainly be more than enough to reach the final rounds. However, this time someone had cheated.

The Caster group, which should have been randomly assigned, was replaced by Arcueid and even summoned their perfect doll, Jupiter. This level of combat power should not appear in the Fourth Shinobi World War II setting, but should go to the Lostbelt setting in FGO 2.0.

But after figuring out the situation of the Fourth War, Quinn had another question.

"Why are you able to summon Jupiter? I remember that the Holy Grail system in Fuyuki City shouldn't support summoning a God-level Servant. Jupiter... even at her weakest, she should still be God-level. And... why didn't you go to Greece or the Clock Tower to find me, instead of coming to Fuyuki?"

"Because I came to you about the Holy Grail. Don't forget our previous agreement. We agreed that if the Yusei Vanguard showed signs of revival, you had to come and help me. As for why I was able to summon your doll, it was of course done directly through the contract as an anchor point. I know that as long as you use anything related to you as a relic, you can definitely summon a doll that is genetically related to you. Have you forgotten? When Jupiter was created, you added your own blood."

and many more……

Wait, girl, who are you? Am I still on the moon?

Quinn broke out in a cold sweat listening to Arcueid's matter-of-fact tone, which was almost identical to that of the Moon's Unknown Origin.

Chapter 160 Moon UO, a winning strategy!

Arcueid and the Moon Lord are not the same person; anyone familiar with Type-Moon knows this.

But now, this common sense has changed.

Quinn scrutinized Arcueid.

Chapter 168

Only then did she realize that Arcueid's condition was completely different from that in the original work. In "Tsukihime", Arcueid, who walks in the modern world, is weakened. This princess was deceived by a magician named Roya, which caused her blood to be sucked away, and she also lost control of her original ability as the prototype of Earth's UO.

Based on this factor, the story of Tsukihime had the prerequisites to unfold.

But now, Arcueid is in exceptionally good condition. Quinn, who once created the artificial god Jupiter and learned the forging techniques of the god of fire in Greece, can tell at a glance that Arcueid is in perfect condition. She has not lost control of her abilities, nor has anyone stolen her blood and power.

In other words, Arcueid is currently walking on Earth as a UO prototype created by Earth's consciousness Gaia. If one day Arcueid were to become the only individual left in Earth's ecosystem, she would undoubtedly be directly promoted to Earth's UO, and might even go further to become the UO of the Earth-Moon celestial system.

Because, in addition to being in perfect condition, Quinn also discovered that he actually had a contractual relationship with Arcueid.

The contract he made with the Moon UO extended to Arcueid. Even though this connection was extremely weak, so subtle that Quinn couldn't even perceive it without careful observation, it did exist. This meant that the connection between Arcueid and the Moon UO was like that between Zeus and Dione, a manifestation of a certain aspect of the Moon UO.

Oh no, the biggest winner of this simulation isn't me, but the Moon UO...

Quinn was embarrassed. He had thought that his simulation would at most have a huge impact on the history of Rome and Greece, but he did not expect that the biggest change in this simulation would be to Arcueid.

A perfect Arcueid, without any limitations, is truly the strongest life form on Earth. It can be said that as long as she has the will, she can directly use the abilities given to her by the Earth's consciousness itself to melt the icebergs at the North and South Poles, or dissolve the Earth's axis and use the continental shelf as a marble, turning the entire Earth into a marbles board to play with.

Clearly, his prior communication with the Moon UO prevented the Moon UO from returning to Earth after being banished by the Jewel Mage, as was the case in the original story. Instead, the Moon UO was able to revive in Arcueid's body when it reached the Steel Land, fulfilling its promise to the Earth's consciousness to cleanse the surface once again.

"Are you the Moon King, or Arcueid?"

Quinn pressed for an answer, eager to know the answer to his question.

Having undergone two simulations and possessed the "Hercules" traits, he could easily overwhelm most characters in the Type-Moon universe with his physical strength alone. Moreover, Quinn was not just a physical fighter; he was a magician with extensive experience in both fairy magic and puppet-making techniques. In terms of sheer magical prowess, there were few in the Clock Tower who could match his level.

Taking these two factors together, it's no exaggeration to say that Quinn is the strongest human in modern times. He is confident that he can overpower most magicians or non-human beings in terms of combat power. Even a certain killer with a restraining force is unlikely to defeat Quinn single-handedly now, which is why Quinn dared to come to Fuyuki.

However, the perfect Arcueid is clearly not included in this category, because she is a literal authority administrator. In this case, it is important to consider whether the current Arcueid is guided by the mindset of the Moon King or by the innocent and naive True Ancestor Princess from Quinn's memories.

If it's the former, Quinn will have no choice but to honestly work illegal jobs to pay off his debts, but if it's the latter...

“Of course it’s Arcueid! Didn’t I already tell you my name?” Arcueid’s innocent tone made Quinn smile.

That's great! I can even fool people!

“That’s good. I don’t get along very well with the Moon King,” Quinn said, saying what Arcueid wanted to hear. “Speaking of which, what’s the Moon King’s situation right now?”

"Hmm... She can chat with me in my dreams occasionally, but don't worry, she can't come to Earth. That old magician drove her away completely. As long as I don't agree, she can't come to Earth. Besides, she's been very busy lately. The fact that you defeated the Vanguard Projection has made that alien focus all its energy on eroding the moon. She's quite distressed about this and begged me to find you to help her as soon as possible."

Perhaps because of the contract, or perhaps because Quinn catered to her preferences and didn't confuse Arcueid with the Moon King, the naive Arcueid trusted Quinn to a degree that Quinn himself found hard to understand. She bluntly revealed the current predicament of the Moon UO, and her smug expression soothed Quinn's slightly agitated emotions.

"Is she in a hurry?"

"Well, from a planetary perspective, she's in a pretty hurry."

“So there’s no rush.” Quinn looked at Arcueid thoughtfully, considering how to divert the other’s attention from the fact that he needed to pay off his debts. Then, an idea popped into his head. “Since the Moon King isn’t in such a hurry, why don’t we deal with your problem first?”

"my question?"

Arcueid looked at Quinn with a bewildered expression, then at her own rather youthful and vibrant attire, not understanding what problem she could possibly have that needed solving.

"Yes, you seem to dislike being compared to the Moon King, right? In that case, why not try to distance yourself from the Moon King altogether? You probably don't want people to think of the Moon King whenever they see you, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Arcueid's eyes flickered with a fleeting attraction, but she quickly concealed it. She looked at Quinn with suspicion and cautiously asked, "Europa, you're not trying to lie to me, are you? I know, humans are very good at lying. There was a magician who tried to trick me and steal my power. If she hadn't helped me, I would have been fooled."

Arcueid's wariness seemed to Quinn as cute as a kitten that was both greedy and afraid of cat treats.

Sister, compared to Medusa, your vigilance is practically nonexistent.

"Don't call me Europa. If you want me to call you Arcueid, you should call me Quinn. Since you summoned Jupiter, you should have learned about me from Jupiter through the Servant Contract, right? Have I ever lied to Jupiter before?"

Arcueid looked at Quinn, who had suddenly become enthusiastic, and recalled the memories of Quinn that she had obtained from Caster after summoning him during the Holy Grail War.

It seems, it appears, that Quinn Europa really didn't lie to Caster?

"Then, how do you want me to cut it?"

"Let's put the matter of the Moon King aside for now, Arcueid. Have you ever really had any fun in human society?"

Chapter 161 The Tohsaka Family Affairs

Arcueid's attention shifted quickly. For this princess who hadn't seen much of the world, the entertainment options in modern society were overwhelming. Whether it was a supermarket plaza or an amusement park, everything was incredibly appealing to her.

After all, although Arcueid has existed for a long time, her actual active time is less than a year. No, it may be a little longer now, but compared to the rapid development of mankind in modern times, this extra active time is meaningless. She is still like a curious child, letting Quinn stuff one candy-coated bullet after another into her mouth, forgetting the mission given to her by the Moon King.

Seeing Arcueid completely bewildered and no longer thinking about dragging him to pay off the debt, Quinn breathed a sigh of relief.

Rather than going off to fight the Star Guardians, it's more suitable for him to spend time with girls.

Moreover, Arcueid is far

Chapter 169

Easier to serve than Morgan and Medusa, Quinn traveled around Fuyuki City with Arcueid after Kenneth boarded the plane. He served as the princess's attendant while also dealing with the aftermath of the Holy Grail War.

The impact of the Holy Grail War, which ended in one night, on Fuyuki City was far less severe than in the original story. The few damaged areas in Fuyuki City were only the Tohsaka and Matou mansions, and... Fuyuki Port. However, the extent of damage to these three areas was alarming.

The two ancient mage mansions of Tohsaka and Matou were dug up completely, with only two huge holes proving their existence. Fuyuki Port was completely destroyed, with the scorched concrete from the lightning long since sunk to the bottom of the sea. The entire port area looked like a cake that had been scooped out with a spoon.
