"Tax evasion?" Tokiomi Tohsaka was momentarily stunned by the word, feeling somewhat perplexed.
"Ah, it's nothing," Kaguya waved her hand nonchalantly, stood up, and smiled as she said, "There really isn't much of a purpose. If I had to say, maybe it's because I find it interesting. Also, rest assured, I have no interest in the calamity of the Root that you're concerned about, and I won't do anything as boring and tedious as that."
"If that's how you feel, then I will respect your wishes," Tokiomi Tohsaka bowed slightly, "However, if you wish to win the Holy Grail War, it is impossible to succeed without a proper plan. So, I hope you can bear with me and follow my strategy to handle this battle."
"In the face of absolute power, any strategy is futile," Kaguya turned around and sneered, "But since you already have a plan, I won't stop you. However, let me give you a piece of advice: no one is a fool. If you underestimate others, overestimate yourself, or are too confident, you'll only bring about your own destruction."
Tokiomi Tohsaka was indeed a talented individual, but unfortunately, he was overly confident in himself.
"Yes," Tokiomi Tohsaka bowed in response, but it was clear he didn't grasp the deeper meaning behind Kaguya's words.
Kaguya chuckled lightly. She had already warned him. If he didn't realize anything and continued as before, Kaguya wouldn't bother reminding him again.
Everyone has their own fate. If this is his, there's not much that can be done.
Well, in truth, all of this was just filler. Kaguya simply found it troublesome, and whether he lived or died didn't really matter to her. If he dies, so be it.
Kaguya thought this rather darkly.
"By the way, has the relic to summon your Servant been prepared?" Kaguya suddenly thought of something and asked.
"It has been prepared," Tokiomi Tohsaka replied respectfully, "The ritual will be held soon." He didn't think there was anything odd about Kaguya knowing this, as most Servants were already aware of such details.
"That's good," Kaguya smiled gently, holding the teacup in her hands and taking a sip, "I'm quite looking forward to that day."
Kaguya's lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile.
In the following days, Tokiomi Tohsaka was exceedingly polite toward Kaguya, to the point of almost being reverential. At first, this puzzled Kaguya, but then she understood. Tokiomi Tohsaka was a proud and confident man, a person with both pride and dignity. However, as a noble, he respected those who were true rulers.
Perhaps he had already seen something in Kaguya's demeanor and behavior. After all, Kaguya had been a goddess in Naruto and a princess in Akame ga Kill, later even ascending to the throne as empress. The grace and elegance that exuded from her weren't things just anyone could imitate.
More importantly, Kaguya possessed immense power—so great that it inspired fear. The fact that she could exist in this world without relying on a Master was proof enough. Only those truly powerful could achieve such a feat. Tokiomi Tohsaka even suspected that Kaguya was an existence beyond that of a normal Servant. The casual display of her Tailed Beast Bomb was proof enough.
That kind of terrifying power could easily destroy the entire city of Fuyuki with just a flick of her wrist.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Kaguya—her class. She didn't belong to any of the seven traditional classes, and the system hadn't clearly specified her class either. There was just a blank space next to the class label, which left Kaguya speechless.
At this point, Kaguya's parameters were:
During Servant form:
Strength: C++
Endurance: C
Agility: C
Mana: D
Luck: ?
Noble Phantasm: EX
The stats were so pitifully low that Kaguya couldn't bear to look at them—completely laughable. Plus, what was with the question mark next to the Luck stat?
However, there was one thing that surprised Kaguya: her Noble Phantasm was ranked EX. She couldn't recall having any particularly powerful Noble Phantasm. The Truth-Seeking Balls and the Kusanagi Sword weren't brought over because of the nature of her projection. What was going on here?
Another interesting point was the label at the top: During Servant form. Could there be other states as well?
Could it be that there was also a "main body" attribute?
This made Kaguya very curious. She wondered what her abilities would be like in her main body form.
Wait a minute.
If that were the case, wouldn't it mean Kaguya's main body could descend into this world?
Kaguya suddenly perked up at the thought. If her main body could truly descend, that would be fantastic. Right now, due to her projected form, her mana reserves were pitiful. Although she was powerful, she could only use her abilities a few times before running out, which was quite frustrating. To quickly replenish her mana, Kaguya had been eating like crazy these days—more than half of the food at Tohsaka's house ended up in her belly.
But the mana extracted from food was limited, and it couldn't drastically increase her reserves. The most obvious example was that even after eating like a pig for days, she had only barely replenished her mana.
Speaking of which, if little Rin from the Tohsaka family grew up and became her Master, Kaguya might be able to wield half of her power. If it were Tokiomi Tohsaka, she could probably use about sixty percent of her strength.
However, Kaguya had no desire to become anyone's Servant—it was too humiliating. If her Luck stat turned out to be E, and her Master ordered her to commit suicide, wouldn't that be as tragic as Lancer? After all, Lancer in both Fate/Zero and UBW was ordered to commit suicide by his Master.
Still, if it meant getting closer to a cute little girl like Rin, Kaguya wouldn't refuse the opportunity. Stroking Tohsaka Rin's small hand, Kaguya entertained these thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Rin, sensing something, turned her head and asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing. The weather is quite nice today," Kaguya smiled, squinting her eyes, and stealthily withdrew her sneaky hand. It wouldn't be good if she frightened the little girl and was seen as a pervert.
"Yes, it really is nice," Rin's face lit up with a warm smile, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
At that moment, someone walked in, and Rin's expression instantly cooled as she let out a soft snort.
