Chapter 81

In the conversation just now, there was also a little amusing interlude, which could be considered an unexpected bonus for Levi.

To make Levi believe in their identities, Yuna deliberately showed the Command Spells unique to a Master as proof. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a strange expression, trying hard not to laugh, and kicked a quietly lying aluminum pipe on the road, landing it precisely in a trash can dozens of meters away.

Perhaps two lonely people from different worlds were too eager to gain the recognition of the locals. The widely admired teenage idol actually lifted her skirt right there!

It's not Levi's fault for his morals. When faced with a woman lifting her skirt, most men's attention would naturally fall on the area between her legs, right? Anyway, by the time he reacted, a fully shaped, pure white pair of panties immediately caught his eye. Then? Then were the slender, long legs that, although he had already admired them during the concert's dance, seemed even more charming in a long skirt. It was a natural male reaction, and Levi used this as an excuse to justify himself.

The scene of drooling over a beautiful woman is exaggerated and specific to comics; it wouldn't happen in real life. With actual experience in this area, how could Levi be like those innocent boys at school? The reason he didn't immediately look away, as he did with Momo, was that the difference between the other party's actions and the atmosphere of the scene was too great. Who could have thought that the enemy from a moment ago would turn into this? If it were Okazaki Tomoya, who sat next to him during the concert, he would probably have been stunned.

Now, let's look at Yuna, who made the surprising move. This teenage idol's stage outfits were quite sexy, but that was a professional requirement and not necessarily related to her personality. Just by the way she clutched the hem of her skirt, her face flushed red and almost smoking, it was clear that she was as innocent as her age and appearance suggested.

As for Claude, who was responsible for guarding, he seemed less adept at such matters. He even put the Master's safety aside and turned around to start the great task of studying the wall structure.

When Levi came to his senses, he couldn't let the girl bear the embarrassment alone. He glanced to confirm the Command Spell on her thigh and immediately signaled for Yuna to lower her skirt, which she seemed to be struggling to hold up.

Why was Yuna's Command Spell in such a special place? His and Rin's were both on their arms, and he thought everyone's would be the same. But this question was too difficult to ask. If he went to ask the student council president at home, what consequences would it bring... Discussing such things with someone of the next generation was too awkward, and Levi couldn't imagine such a scene.

After the interlude, it was time to discuss the alliance. In simple terms, Yuna wanted to use the Holy Grail to find her lover and hoped to avoid as much fighting and sacrifice as possible. So, in the absence of conflicting interests, it would be best to form an alliance. This is where the two disagreed.

Levi, unlike the magicians who pursued magic like Rin, had a reason to obtain the Holy Grail: to lift the curse on EVA. Both parties needed the Holy Grail, but there was only one. Normally, the negotiations would have broken down at this point. But Yuna, dressed in what resembled clerical attire, again made Levi feel her kindness.

Even with fundamental conflicts, she still earnestly requested a temporary ceasefire to find a solution that could satisfy both parties. This made Levi think of diplomatic negotiations between countries in the real world. Yuna was not a seasoned politician; she made this request with a heart that desired peace.

Faced with the sincere girl, Levi didn't resort to any tricks he wasn't good at. He subtly explained his need for the Holy Grail, mentioning the curse on EVA, but without revealing EVA's name.

To his surprise, after hearing Levi's words, Yuna immediately offered to help lift the curse. Not by using the Holy Grail, but by trying with her own abilities. Yuna had mentioned that she was a white magician who had lost her summoning ability, a method that neither EVA nor Levi had ever tried.

Using white magic to break a curse is what most people would think of first. But for Levi and EVA, it was fraught with complications. First, EVA's identity as the progenitor vampire, who had long been the top of the bounty list, had almost no friends. If they hired a magician for help, it was uncertain whether anyone who could be swayed by money would have the necessary strength, and the risk of them having other ideas upon seeing EVA was too dangerous. And the people Levi knew wouldn't be much help either. In the vast Mahora Academy, there wasn't a single magician specializing in restorative magic, including Albrecht, who was recuperating in the library. This was a truly unimaginable fact.

Yuna's suggestion really made Levi a bit tempted. From her ability to completely hide her presence from him, he could judge her strength. But even so, Levi decided to wait until the Holy Grail War became clearer before making a decision. He wasn't about to trust someone he had just met based on a few words.

The negotiation process was roughly like this. No treaty was reached, and there was no real trust, but at least a preliminary friendly relationship was established. The rest, Levi decided to ask Rin's opinion after returning home. The young lady from a magical family was the expert in such negotiations.

After exchanging contact information, before Levi left, Yuna also demonstrated her strength. The bone fracture in Levi's hidden right arm didn't escape her notice. A simple restorative magic instantly healed his injury. This again made him marvel at Claude's strength. With a similarly slender build, he possessed power comparable to a berserker, making this Master-Servant pair the best so far.

Today's gains were truly abundant. Levi, with a satisfied smile, slowly walked towards the nearby cottage.

Today, the first time the Academy City invited outsiders to hold a performance event, was destined to be an extraordinary night. Just from the main routes leading to the venue, one could feel it.

Half an hour after the concert ended, due to the large number of people and insufficient exits, students were still walking home or to their dorms. The Academy Island, with more schools than many countries, often saw roads filled with students. For example, a school festival could attract many students from both the school and outside. But today's situation was slightly different.

Anyone seeing the road filled with young people in casual clothes would wonder what day it was. A sports meet? Then the students would be wearing their school sports uniforms, even for the Academy City's Great Star Festival. A grand holiday? It would be a bit sad to stay in school on a rare holiday, and the poor children on the Academy Island didn't have that many. A protest march? Then they would wear their school uniforms to show their identity.

Perhaps only at Yuna's concert could one see such a diverse fashion show on the streets.

And here, of course, there were also students from the second high school. The enviable and hated combination of Okazaki Tomoya and the Fujibayashi sisters aside, there was another boy walking in the opposite direction, seemingly with his guardian.

Wearing a plain T-shirt and long pants, the boy, who looked unremarkable at first glance, would also have an extraordinary night tonight.
