I was looking at my smartphone.
Now that the True Names were starting to appear... what caught my eye were two Merlins, male and female, and a pair of Fous.
"By Zelretch's name. Has the time for the world to end come? Why are there two Merlins?"
Two Fous were nice, but the thought of one pervert reeking of flowers and another pervert seeking amusement made me shudder.
Ding~
Magi☆Mari: Hi? It's finally connected. As you already know, my name is Merlin! I've been watching you, but I couldn't see you because you were somehow obscured. Can you manifest me with that smartphone of yours?
I decided to look for the block button on that text.
Magi☆Mari: Wait, don't be like that! Please give me a chance! And the other Merlin is going crazy wanting to meet you too.
Fou♂: Merlin, die! Fou!
Fou♀: If you know Merlin, you'll know not to meet him. Fou!
Magi☆Mari: I took care of you all this time, and you repay your master with such ingratitude!
Fou♂: You're completely insane.
Fou♀: The one who threw us away has a lot to say! Merlin, die, Fou!
Magi☆Mari: Keuk!? / Kyaa!?
I looked at the text, which reminded me of a scene from a manga, but I thought about just leaving it as it was.
It might not be a bad idea to kill time by watching the text (conversation) for fun.
『Summon Merlin? YES/NO』
I pressed NO.
『Summon Fou? YES/NO』
I debated whether or not to summon Fou, who would unleash "Merlin, die, Fou!"
I didn't know if he was a cat or a dog, but Fou had soft fur. I couldn't control this feeling of desire and reason fighting each other.
'NO!? Or YES!?'
I had no choice but to agonize.
I wanted to pet Fou at least once, but it was a more difficult decision than I thought.
"Sigh, this is tough."
Magi☆Mari: Wait!? / No, Fou first!? What about us?
"I don't know if you're observing through Clairvoyance, but I prefer the soft-furred Fou over a Merlin reeking of flowers!"
Magi☆Mari: ...If you put it like that, I have nothing to say. / So you're an animal person?
"Oh, you're listening."
Magi☆Mari: Of course, because it's connected to that smartphone... I can hear you, but I can't see your body or face properly. Hmm, it feels like it's blurred?
She can't read my appearance, but it seems she can roughly interpret and read my actions and expressions.
Or maybe it's displayed as an emoticon.
"I see. Then I'll block you."
Magi☆Mari: No, I'm Merlin, the legendary great magus and sage of Britain!
What's the point of being a sage if you ruined Britain and ran away to Avalon?
On the other hand, in the case of Lady Avalon, the female Merlin from a parallel world, I didn't know her story well, but I had a feeling she would be terrified if she met Manaka.
To think positively, she was Artoria's teacher, but to think negatively, there were too many things to even know where to start.
"For now, Fou is on hold. Merlin is an Evil of Humanity, worse than a Beast. I'd rather take Nero Draco or Kama."
Magi☆Mari: ...Wow, do you really hate us that much? / You'd rather contract with an Evil of Humanity than us??
I don't hate them. But I do.
Their looks are fine, but if I bring those Merlins here, I have a feeling a Nice Boat will happen.
I had to refuse because I felt like they would create a mass heat cycle, making everyone suffer unless they pounced on each other, or pounce on someone in their dreams and make them have a wet dream, or put their own saliva in a drink and make someone drink it.
It's to the point where I'd rather meet Nero Draco or Kama than Merlin.
However, my conclusion is that Merlin is better than the Haze Hole.
'But if I summon Fou... there will be two Beasts.'
Fou is Comparison, Tiamat is Regression... Goetia isn't confirmed since Solomon hasn't appeared...
Anyway, with a pounding heart, I decided to summon Fou.
Of the YES and NO displayed on the smartphone, I chose YES.
『Summon Fou♂?
Summon Fou♀?
Summon both?』
『Fou x2: !?』
Hmm... I'm a guy, so I'll choose the female Fou!
I'm not gay!
The male Fou has to deal with the male/female Merlins with "Merlin, die, Fou!"
Therefore, I had no choice but to choose the second Fou.
Poof~
Then, with a burst of smoke, I could see Fou spinning around and landing on my palm.
"Fou, fou!???"
Fou♀ looked at me, seemingly flustered by the sudden summoning.
"Uh... hello?"
Bow.
When I bowed, Fou, in the sudden situation, nodded and bowed back.
"Fouuu. Fou!!! Fou, fou!?"
I have no idea what Fou is saying.
If Mash were here, she might have translated... but for me, understanding Fou's language was a distant story.
Well, there's a way to interpret it based on the sound of the cries, but it wasn't accurate, so for now, I just stroked Fou's head.
"Fou..."
"Welcome, you've escaped the hell that is Merlin. The other Fou will fight Merlin for me in my stead."
Nod.
Fou just nodded.
"Fou..."
I stroked the fluffy and soft fur.
"Forororooong..."
Why would Merlin throw and toss such a cute creature... Then again, Merlin's personality is screwed up, so that's probably why.
And so, as I returned to my daily life, Artoria came to find me.
"That creature is surely... Merlin's?"
"Oh? You know about Fou?"
"No, I think I've seen it once, but I don't know what kind of creature it is..."
"It's the Evil of Humanity, Comparison, also known as Cath Palug. Its current name is Fou."
At my words, Artoria shook her head with a look of burnout.
"Evils of Humanity are so common... By the way, is Merlin here?"
"I got a call. A male Merlin and a female Merlin were together."
"Two Merlins, male and female... O Lord... they're not here right now, are they?"
"Of course not. It's not like I want to be toyed with by an incubus. Why would I summon them?"
I felt a vibration from my phone, but I ignored it.
"That's a relief. If Merlin were to come, I don't think my sanity could handle it."
Artoria just stared at Fou and let out a deep sigh.
"The female Merlin is a pervert full of lewd thoughts, the kind of woman who would serve you a drink made with her own saliva. She's a specialized pervert compared to the male Merlin, and the male Merlin is a specialized pervert who seeks amusement."
"In the end, it's all fixed on the word 'pervert'... If the female Merlin were to appear, I think I would get goosebumps."
I agreed with Artoria's words.
"Summoning them is possible, but I'm just going to ignore them."
"A wise decision."
Artoria was trembling, as if she had goosebumps.
"By the way, why did you come here?"
"Rider and Rider's Master have come to visit."
"..."
CRASH!
And the door was busted down.
"Hey, Master of Caster! Hmm? You're no different from the kid."
'...'
"Can you just get to the point?"
"Oops... would you understand if I said I came to share a drink?"
Looking at the barrel of alcohol Rider had brought, I had no choice but to nod.
"I see."
And Irisviel came in as well.
"What's going on?"
"They want to have a banquet. Do you know of a mansion, Irisviel?"
"Uh... how did you... well, I guess it doesn't matter? But there's no car or anything."
"Don't worry about that! This Iskandar will take you there!"
"But... Iskandar, how did you get through the magic barrier? Caster's defenses should have been insane."
Just then, Rider's Master appeared and explained.
"He just charged through, breaking through the magic and everything else!"
"I see. It's useless against Archer anyway."
"Hey... don't you have too little faith in Caster?"
"Hmm... do I?"
Rider's Master looked at me with an expression that said, "people like this actually exist."
"Ah, what was your name again?"
"Waver Velvet."
"I'll call you the future London Star."
"Don't call me that!"
"Mr. Future London Star? Your teacher left with his wife on a plane, and he passed on the remaining debt to you."
"What!? Lancer? Lancer didn't seem to have been eliminated? Uwaaaah! Debt! You must have heard how much 20% is, right?"
"I don't know. I gave him an immortality potion and got Lancer, but I don't know how much 20% will be."
"Wait, I think I just heard something important. Ugh... suddenly my stomach... I'll have to buy some stomach medicine later."
"I see... So Lancer was won over to your side."
"It was forced rather than won over."
"Hmm... for something like that, it's rather peaceful."
"That's because I'm a pacifist."
"Hmm... is that so?"
"Rider! Why are you accepting this so naturally!?"
"In any case, we must secure a place for the banquet and continue our discussion!"
And so, ignoring Waver Velvet's words, we headed to Irisviel's mansion.
