Chapter 85 - After the War

When it came to wealth, Luvia, the queen of the shopping district, undoubtedly left Tohsaka Rin, the down-on-her-luck young lady, far behind. Talking about money would undoubtedly lead to Tohsaka Rin's complete defeat, the kind where she'd be so speechless she'd bite her lip.

But how could Mo Shuying be someone who valued money that much? He still had plenty of gold bricks in his spatial storage, more than enough for his expenses, so he resolutely refused.

"Twenty jin for one! You're not short on money anyway!"

"Deal!"

A smile appeared on both Mo Shuying's and Luvia's faces. They shook hands amicably, having reached a mutually satisfactory transaction.

"Let's go, we can discuss the details back at the Emiya Residence. I'll have August prepare the gems."

"Alright, I'll also see which Class Cards I don't need and give them all to you."

Mo Shuying and Luvia walked together towards the Emiya Residence. Luvia carried a person with ease; the petite Gray looked like a fashionable accessory on Luvia.

The two walked away happily.

Tohsaka Rin was left behind, biting her ponytail, her eyes practically glaring daggers. Emiya Shirou, sensing the resentment beside her, thought for a moment and decided not to get involved. He took Artoria's hand and followed them.

"These are the Class Cards I can offer."

Mo Shuying had already sorted his Class Cards and taken out the ones he didn't need.

First, he needed to keep seven cards for himself and for fulfilling wishes. Originally, Mo Shuying had planned to just find one more Saber Class card and one Assassin card, using up the other five.

However, in this battle, he gained two Assassin Class Cards alone: Hassan-i Sabbah and Semiramis. He also got two Caster cards: Cú Chulainn and Hohenheim, and one Berserker Class card: Piglet Sister, who was Berserker Atalanta.

The remaining cards were one Saber Class card, Lion King Charles I, and the Lancer Class Diarmuid, and Rider Class The Great Emperor and Astolfo.

The remaining Shadow Archer, Robin Hood, was in Miyu's hands, and Mo Shuying didn't ask for it.

Adding his original seven cards, he could give away one of the three-card sets and keep one for himself. For the two-card sets, he would have to consider which one to keep.

"You have Red Archer's card, don't you, Rin? Even though that guy practically ran into me himself, he's still mine. When are you giving him back?"

Mo Shuying was organizing the cards when he suddenly said to Tohsaka Rin, who was biting her nail beside him.

Tohsaka Rin was startled, then became flustered.

"Huh? What are you talking about, you! I, I, I, I don't have anything like that!"

Mo Shuying gave her a speechless look.

"Really?"

His questioning tone and expression were like stepping on Tohsaka Rin's little tail, making her jump up and shout excitedly!

"Ha! You doubt me! I'm your teammate, and you doubt me! If I say I don't have it, I don't have it! Teammates don't lie to teammates! If you don't believe me, I can guarantee it with Luvia's reputation!"

Luvia: "???"

Seeing Tohsaka Rin's guilty expression, Mo Shuying sighed.

Beside them, Illya sat up straight, head down, not daring to speak. In truth, the Red Archer Class Card was with her. Tohsaka Rin had given it to Illya before last night's battle, so Illya could also Install and fight as a Heroic Spirit at a crucial moment.

But who knew, Miyu stole the show.

Miyu shot an arrow that led to the grand finale. It wasn't that [Robin Hood] was so strong, but rather that Angra Mainyu was truly too weak.

Angra Mainyu was born by being forcibly instilled with the sin of [All the World's Evil]. After his death, he became a Heroic Spirit, but he was originally just an ordinary person, nothing special.

An originally very ordinary person, even if they become a Heroic Spirit, their own strength won't be very great.

Mo Shuying understood this deeply.

The only thing Angra Mainyu had going for him was his Noble Phantasm.

[All the World's Evil]

This was a low-grade Noble Phantasm, but its effect was law-based.

It would return any damage taken by the user back to the attacker, inflicting soul-engraved damage on the opponent. However, it could only be used once per opponent. That is to say,

If he couldn't exchange his own damage for absolute damage to the opponent, Angra Mainyu would surely lose.

There was also a prerequisite for this Noble Phantasm to activate: he couldn't be instantly killed.

Unfortunately, even as a Heroic Spirit, the head is paramount. Angra Mainyu, whose head was pierced by an arrow, didn't even have a chance to activate his Noble Phantasm before directly collapsing, departing peacefully.

This was why Miyu got the final blow. Coincidence played a part, but in truth, even if Miyu hadn't ambushed him, Angra Mainyu wouldn't have posed a serious threat to anyone.

Mo Shuying didn't know the card was on Illya. He glanced at Tohsaka Rin, who was already restless, and finally shook his head with a smile.

"Forget it. Consider it 20 jin of gems you owe me. If I get the chance, I'll come collect. For now, Luvia, this Caster, this Assassin, this Rider."

The cards Mo Shuying gave her were ones he had previously obtained, like Medusa's card.

He kept The Great Emperor's and Astolfo's, planning to use them for wish fusion later.

The Caster card he gave was Monk Xuanzang's. Mo Shuying intended to keep Hohenheim.

(⊙o⊙) What? Friendship with the dog? The bond of sharing a room? No, no, Hohenheim is so powerful!

The Assassin card he gave was Hassan-i Sabbah's. This card actually had high variability. Its prototype was the nineteen assassination cult leaders known as the [Old Man of the Mountain], all of whom had their own powerful aspects. He just didn't know if it would summon the original Hassan-i Sabbah, the true Old Man of the Mountain.

Mo Shuying himself was an Assassin. He had tried, but his own Class Card couldn't be changed, and he couldn't use Assassin for a second class. So, Assassin cards were the least of his worries.

"Just these three, plus the two Archer cards you have. That's five. That'll do. Oh, and Miyu's card counts towards you, Luvia. Is that okay?"

Mo Shuying spoke in a tone that allowed for no argument, yet somehow made it sound like there was still room for negotiation.

Luvia, with her immense wealth, simply waved a hand. August emerged carrying a large bag, which he set on the table with a rustle. When opened, it revealed various gems.

"There's a hundred pounds here. Keep the change. I'll buy Rin's card too. It's just money, isn't it? The one thing I'm not short on is money."

Luvia reached out and took three Class Cards. With these three cards, she finally had something to show the Jewel Mage.

Mo Shuying gave Luvia a thumbs-up, then put the bag away in his spatial storage.

He actually didn't have much concept of money. His happiest days were when he had a thousand yuan living expenses a month back in school. Sigh. He used to worry about not having money to spend, but now he had to worry about how to spend it. It was all a bother.

"Alright, that's done. I should be going now. It was a pleasure fighting alongside all of you; I'll always remember it. We'll meet again, someday."

After saying this, Mo Shuying turned and vanished in a flash.

He left behind a room full of people.

Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, it was Emiya Shirou who spoke.

"Um... what's for lunch?"
