Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Roa Must Die
Tokyo International Airport, also known as Tokyo Haneda Airport, or Tokyo International Air Harbor, was established in 1931. Located on the left bank of the Tama River estuary in the southeastern end of Ōta, Tokyo, it is the oldest civil aviation airport in Japan and the largest airport in the country.
To this day, this airport still plays a crucial role, handling six-figure passenger numbers daily.
A passenger plane from the west landed on Runway No. 7 following the control tower's instructions. The TAROM logo on the fuselage indicated its origin and ownership—Romanian Airlines.
After a period of taxiing, the plane reached its designated berth. The prepared staff operated the elevator to the dock with the cabin door, while ground personnel on the other side began unloading cargo.
Everything was orderly and methodical.
However, if someone carefully counted the number of passengers on the bus, they would notice an undercurrent beneath the order—there were two more passengers on the bus than had originally boarded.
Unfortunately, no one would perform such a seemingly trivial task, and those two extra passengers quickly blended into the crowd upon entering the terminal, leaving no trace.
These two were, of course, the stowaways Shinji Matou and Arcueid Brunestud.
As they exited the airport, Shinji removed his hood and asked with a smile, "How was it? Fun and exciting?"
Arcueid nodded repeatedly. "Fun, very fun. Let's quickly find a safe place and go back in to play again. This time, I will win."
By "fun," she didn't mean the stowaway part. To the two who wouldn't die even in a plane explosion, stowing away was quite boring.
The excitement came entirely from their first experience in the fictional world. They were so immersed in the new world that they completely lost track of time. It wasn't until the alarm clock rang for the fifth time that they reluctantly logged out of Mooncell.
By then, the plane had already landed, and the cargo hold door had been opened. Fortunately, they had set up a bounded field; otherwise, they would have had to go through the trouble of using magic to suggest their way out to airport staff.
Was the fictional world that interesting? Could it captivate both a transmigrator and a natural god?
The answer is yes. Although the two hadn't left the wilderness where they logged in, nor encountered any spirit life forms, the wilderness itself and the changes in their forms were enough to keep them excited for a long time.
The physical rules of the fictional world were mostly similar to Earth's, but there were some differences, such as gravity.
Earth's gravitational acceleration is about 9.8 m/s², while the fictional world's gravitational acceleration is 1.633 m/s², only one-sixth of Earth's. This is because Mooncell is located on the Moon, and this aspect of the rules references the lunar environment.
The change in the gravity environment is no small issue, affecting all aspects of their behavior. Take the initial running test, for example; as soon as they started running, both fell one after the other. They were used to moving in Earth's environment, and as a result, they used too much force.
Running was difficult, making exploring the new world an impossible task. Thus, their primary goal became adapting to the environment. Fortunately, this was not a particularly difficult task.
Arcueid naturally possessed immense strength, and to avoid causing excessive destruction, restraint had become instinctive. With reduced gravity, it was merely a matter of restraining her strength a bit more, and she quickly got the hang of it.
Shinji didn't have this instinct, but he had undergone Scáthach's body control training, enabling him to adjust his body well.
By the time they left, the two were capable of a considerable degree of combat. They hadn't logged out in time because they were too engrossed in the evenly matched battle.
Yes, evenly matched, and it was close-quarters combat.
The login rights Shirou left were only for Shinji, not including Arcueid. Arcueid could enter the fictional world by being attached to Shinji as a Servant.
Since she became a Servant, she had to follow Servant rules. A Servant's basic attributes are limited by the Master. Although Shinji was strong, he wasn't enough to support a fully EX-ranked Arcueid, so weakening was inevitable.
Arcueid's current attributes were:
Strength: A+
Endurance: A
Agility: A
Mana: A
Luck: D
Noble Phantasm: E
On the other hand, Shinji's basic attributes directly referenced his Servant panel of a parallel world due to his experience as a Servant, confirming that the Third Magic could indeed interfere with the fictional world.
One side weakened, the other strengthened. Although there was still a large rank difference, Arcueid's straightforward combat style allowed Shinji to display his martial skills, resulting in a draw.
Of course, this was just close-quarters combat without using skills and Noble Phantasms. Otherwise, not even two Shinji's could be a match for Arcueid—because of Arcueid's inherent skill "Ultimate ONE."
Ultimate ONE: Rank EX
Ultimate ONE. A skill that, through support from the planet, remains one step above the opponent in specifications. If the stage is Earth, and the opponent is also Earth-born, it will activate without any adverse effects. However, within Mooncell, it has a time limit, and there may be existences whose scale it cannot surpass.
In simpler terms: no matter how powerful you are, I will always be a bit more powerful.
With this skill, even if she lost Marble Phantasm due to changes in the rules, and even if she was somewhat restricted because she was not on the Earth's surface, Arcueid still holds a place in the third tier of the combat power pyramid.
With her presence, Shinji's journey in the fictional world will be much easier, and obtaining the Kingship will no longer be an unattainable goal.
However, Shinji did not agree to Arcueid's request to find a place to log in again immediately. On one hand, he understood the principle of moderation, and on the other, he knew that although the fictional world was wonderful, it was not his final destination. No matter what, his focus should be on the real world and the people he cherished.
Additionally, there was another very important reason: he wanted to give a gift to this lovely princess.
"Pegasus!"
With Shinji's call, a winged horse appeared in the world.
"So cute, snuggle snuggle~"
Arcueid immediately took a liking to this creature, which was as pure white as she was.
Pegasus did not reject Arcueid's affection, as she exuded a unique, natural charm.
Shinji mounted the horse, one hand stroking its mane, and the other hand reaching out to Arcueid, who was whispering to the horse.
"Come on up, there will be plenty of opportunities to play later. First, come with me to a place."
"Where to? Is it far?"
"Not far, it's in this area. You'll know when we get there."
He tugged the reins, and Pegasus flapped its wings, stepping into the air.
Their destination: the Tohno family.
Since you have become my Servant, your enemies are my enemies.
Roa must die!
