Several years later, Eichi once again arrived at the long-sealed basement.
After cleaning the dusty basement, Eichi began a new round of summoning.
"Declare."
A solemn voice rang out, and blue-white light began to shine from the summoning circle.
"Let your body be entrusted to my command; let my destiny be attached to your sword."
Storms and thunder, formed from magical energy, began to flash in the basement.
"Transcend the wheel of inhibition and appear, Guardian of the Scales!"
As the last incantation was spoken, a figure holding a long katana appeared in the center of the summoning circle.
"Assassin class Servant, Sasaki Kojiro, hereby answers the call."
Sasaki Kojiro's appearance was very handsome.
His long, dark blue hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head, with two locks of hair left in front, falling to his collarbones. He wore a purple kimono, over which was a sleeveless haori, and in his hand, he held a five-foot-long clothes-drying pole.
Sasaki Kojiro had a very cool nickname.
Dragon Slayer Swordsman Sasaki.
The reason was that when the mobile game first launched, the first chapter had many Dragon enemies of the Rider class.
These enemies were perfectly countered by Sasaki, who was an Assassin class and easily obtainable at the time.
Therefore, many people would train Sasaki Kojiro to go slay Dragons.
Later, he earned the title Dragon Slayer Swordsman Sasaki.
In reality, the character Sasaki Kojiro was not a truly existing person.
Or rather, a swordsman named Sasaki Kojiro, wielding a clothes-drying pole, might have truly existed.
But that was not the Sasaki Kojiro of legend, the Swordsman who existed to highlight another sword Master.
That is to say, the Sasaki Kojiro widely rumored among people was actually a fictional character.
And the Sasaki Kojiro summoned in Heroic Spirit summoning was not the historical Sasaki Kojiro.
Instead, he was a swordsman who originally left no name but coincidentally could perform Sasaki Kojiro's ultimate techniques.
Because he could perform Sasaki Kojiro's ultimate techniques, he was given the name Sasaki Kojiro and summoned as a Heroic Spirit.
Eichi raised his hand, displaying the Command Seal on the back of his hand.
"Then, this sword shall be at your command."
The contract was established, and Eichi began the next summoning.
"Declare."
Another burst of dazzling light, and a tall figure with long purple hair appeared before Eichi.
"If you desire a living sacrifice, please use me freely."
"Freely, use me..." Looking at Medusa, who was tall, elegant, and wore an eye patch, Eichi's thoughts immediately went astray.
Eichi tried to shake off the chaotic thoughts in his mind and completed the contract with Medusa.
Medusa could be said to be a truly tragic figure.
Among the three sisters, only she did not inherit a divine body.
Her other two sisters remained in their original form and did not grow, while Medusa gradually grew from a tiny being into a tall, mature woman.
However, the tall and perfect Medusa felt inferior because of her physique.
Because the large Medusa particularly liked small and cute things, she would even be charmed by petite and adorable beings.
In her perception, her large physique did not meet the standard of beauty.
One has to admit that this kind of gap moe is truly irresistible.
The original Medusa was a priestess in the temple of Athena.
After growing up, Medusa was noticed by Poseidon, the Sea God, who passed by, due to her perfect figure.
Poseidon raped Medusa in Athena's temple.
Upon learning of this, Athena, as the virgin goddess, was furious.
Then Athena banished and punished Medusa for not protecting her chastity.
Medusa was thus exiled to the Island of No Form.
Fortunately, her two sisters, worried about their younger sister, followed her to the Island of No Form to live together.
Later, due to the games of the gods, Medusa, who should have been a Mother Goddess, became a Demonic Beast in the mouths of heroes, pursued and hunted by countless heroes.
To protect her sisters, Medusa could only keep fighting, eventually becoming tainted by hatred and transforming into the Demonic Beast Gorgon, who slaughtered heroes.
However, Medusa summoned as a Rider is in her form before she was cursed and turned into a monster.
She is still the Medusa who belongs to the Goddesses.
Furthermore, Medusa is extremely loyal to her Master.
Especially to Matou Sakura.
Medusa's devotion to this girl, who was also abandoned and subjected to humiliation, reached the point of self-sacrifice.
Medusa even came up with various outrageous methods to protect Matou Sakura from Matou Shinji.
So if you can summon Medusa, then congratulations, you will most likely get a loyal older sister Servant.
Next is the last Servant.
"Declare!"
In the summoning circle, where wind and thunder appeared, a cheerful voice came.
"Yo, Servant Lancer, responding to the summon. Anyway, let's get along well, Master."
"You can rest assured about that, I think we'll get along very well."
Eichi was very confident about this.
There are plenty of places here for Lancer to fish, and several opponents for Lancer to have a good fight with.
"Haha, that's really great."
Lancer laughed and set his spear on the ground.
Lancer, a Heroic Spirit who appears frequently in many Type-Moon works and in various classes.
Lancer wore a blue and gold battle suit, perfectly showcasing his muscular physique.
The crimson spear in his hand made it clear at a glance that he was dangerous.
Although he has always been a supporting character, he has created many famous scenes and memes.
For example, the infamous phrase, "Lancers have E-rank luck since ancient times."
But even so, no one would deny Lancer's strength and heroic spirit.
In Type-Moon, Lancer's popularity with women was downplayed, emphasizing his aspect as a hero.
And for that, he was loved by countless people.
At this point, Eichi's Fuyuki Holy Grail War Heroic Spirit group had 6 members.
Only 2 more were needed.
Hmm, you ask why a Holy Grail War with 7 Heroic Spirits has 8?
Isn't it common knowledge that there are five Heavenly Kings?
Besides the unofficial member of the 5th Holy Grail War, the oldest King of Humanity Gilgamesh, Eichi now only lacked Berserker Heracles.
It wasn't that Eichi couldn't summon him now.
It was because he was afraid that he might accidentally demolish Tokyo.
After all, the lesson of Berserker Heracles almost demolishing half of Fuyuki to buy batteries for Illya was still fresh in everyone's memory.
He even used his Noble Phantasm, the spinning, charging blue Lancer, in a shopping mall.
This was a powerful Noble Phantasm that even Heroic Spirit Emiya found difficult to contend with.
So Eichi, who was not a loli, decided to wait a bit longer to summon Heracles.
When Kenjaku comes out to cause trouble, he can then unleash Berserker.
At that time, Berserker can demolish Tokyo however he wants, and the blame can be thrown on Kenjaku.
Hmm, this time, Tokiomi won't have to carry the blame.
