AN: An In-between chapter I guess, connecting some plot lines first before moving on with stuff. Thanks for the reviews and support! I guess the title of this short chapter would become more relevant when we get to killing Gods/Goddesses.

Chapter 26: The First Jewel Sword

"My Ashikabi is sadly not diligent in his studies, sometimes I don't think he understands the importance of a good education. How is he supposed to get good work and pay to raise our future children with his grades?! I hope that your Ashikabi is on the right track Musubi, unlike mine." Kaho says to her dear friend Musubi, who was thinking on her response.

That was the scene Yashima and I had walked into when we arrived back to Izumo Inn the next morning.

Everyone was literally there in the overcrowded magically expanded dining room.

And by everyone, I meant everyone. That included Kid Gilgamesh being fussed over by two blonde Sekirei's that I've never met.

Yosuke was looking very awkward for some reason.

"Minato-sama is really smart! Ah, but Minato-sama failed to get into university twice…"

Minato who looked happy for a moment suddenly had his heart stabbed by Musubi's bland reminder of his failure.

"That's a shame. So far I've had to motivate my Ashikabi to study as much as he can to make up for his terrible midterm results."

"Eh? How did you do that?"

"W-well, I simply followed the advice of um…."

Kaho looked flushed when trying to find the right words, Yosuke her Ashikabi met her eyes, before they both turned away from each other blushing.

Gilgamesh, Emiya Shirou, Julian Ainsowth, Kanji, Yu Narukami and I all gave each other manly eye contact.

We all gave a thumbs up and nodded approvingly towards Yosuke in the bro-est manner possible.

Only for us guys to be glared at by all the females in the room.

I think Miya's strange PMS is only getting worse as she's both red faced with anger and her own fever.

I don't know why, but Minako is somehow looking at me as if I was an idiot after taking a look at Miya.

At this rate I might have to take a peek at parallel universes to see if I can discover similar symptoms.

Perhaps it's some sort of delayed sad widow disease that saps her 'will to live' and causes anger issues in retaliation. Considering that dying by losing the 'will to live' is a thing in Star Wars (Why did they make those prequels?) it might be a possible thing.

I should really cure that. Would magic work?

Uzume, Yashima, Chiho and Akitsu left the room soon after whilst Yashima looked eager to tell them about yesterday. It was probably to get Akitsu ready for our date today as well.

I spent time catching up on what happened whilst I was gone. It seems that Gilgamesh used a soul binding reversal Noble Phantasm of sorts and set the conditions specifically for forced wingings. Everyone clapped and applauded him.

He took it like a king, a humbler one, but he took it as if it was expected of him.

"Ahaha! Thank you very much! But I did just what a king is expected to do for their subjects, I mean, I can't have humans enslaving each other or even other human like species of course! After all, there are only two hierarchies, me and everyone else."

Quite a few people did an anime sweat drop there at Gil-kun's proclamation.

He probably got slightly cockier once he retrieved his Class Card from Angelica.

I drew the line however when he stared at Iris for 0.2 seconds more than anyone else when he looked around the room for his applause.

I swear if I could kill him with my eyes I would have!

"Onii-sama? Is your eyes alright? It's glowing red."

Eh? Heat vision! Of course, how could I forget the searing heat beam of DEATH!

"I don't know why but this seems familiar." Kuro said whilst shooting a glance at Shirou.

Tch, too many witnesses! I will have to kill him later.

"Eh!? Onii-sama?"

I hugged Iris protectively whilst glaring at the blonde child who only laughed in amusement.

Damn you and you're A-Rank Charisma that makes you look innocent.

"Maa… you don't need to look at me like that Oji-chan."

"Oi! I get the feeling I'm the only one called Oji-chan here, aren't I being singled out?"

"That's because you're really old aren't you, Zelretch-san… or do you prefer Schweinorg right now?"

Damn Clairvoyance, stupid Sha Nagba Imuru being OP shit…

"I'll stick with Adachi-san for now thank you very much. I have the actions of this body to take responsibility for, after all."

The room was rather quiet, I guess everyone was paying attention to our slightly tense conversation that had quite a few subtleties thrown around.

"Eh? What an… ordinary name compared to a much well known 'Zelretch'?"

A palpable feeling of rage descended on me, before I crunched down on it.

"I still have a lot of my memories missing so it'll be awhile until I throw that name around. There's a lot of weight and memories attached to that name, after all. I'm sure you can understand the feeling, Gilgamesh."

"Mmm, I guess I can. It's just that I expected more from you. After all, back in our native world you are the only magus that can equal my adult self."

Oh? Was this about pride then?

So he was disappointed in seeing me after knowing about my own feats.

Well, I admit that I am WAY behind my past self in terms of conceptual space, time and universe manipulation. That, and I'm down to no Mystic Codes… well, that can be remedied.

The memories of my most used weapon, tool and memento came to my mind.

I took out Draupnir and it took only a second to create the weapon from the blueprints etched in my mind.

"I think I can manage with a near infinite supply of my well known jewel sword." I smirked, and he held his arms up in contentment, pleased to see that I wasn't pathetic.

What's with all these kings and their high standards?

"Uh, Zel- I mean, Adachi-sama? Why does your mystic code look a lot different from the blueprints you allowed my family to work with?" Rin Tohsaka wisely addressed me and asked her question.

I was a bit confused about that.

"Um, I googled it and it was supposed to look more like a sword short, but… was it really meant to look like a rapier?" Minato asked whilst looking up from his phone.

I looked at my hands and saw that it was indeed a jewelled rapier.

But how-

"Wow! It's so pretty! It'll look great if we use it as a chandelier." Adelaide's face lights up whilst saying one of the worst things possible, much to my usual dismay.

"W-WHAT!? That is the Mystic Code I spent months making! I made it for your birthday and you want to use it as a chandelier?" Ok, fine. I was angrier than resigned.

"What as am I supposed to do with it, Quiche?" She used that

"It's shaped like a sword! A rapier for Root's sake… gah, why do I even swear like that? And stop calling me Quiche, it's Kischur. The pronunciation is very different! And also, please stop calling me a type of French pastry? FRENCH!? I regret ever using my future vision for such a petty reason to assuage your curiosity if you used it to give me a terrible private name. "

"Aww, don't say that… But I guess I could change it if you would only call me Adelle." She pouted.

"Y-you petulant child… I already call you that when we're alone."

"But I want you to call me that in front of my father too!" Did she seriously say that, I swear the man practices his curses in front of me for a very good reason…

"Are you trying to get me killed?" I ask incredulously.

"Silly Kischur, we both know you wouldn't die even if you were killed." She said dismissively.

"Why do I get the feeling that those words will become very relevant in ages to come?"

"I'm sure you're imagining it."

"I can't believe this girl with imaginary friends has the gall to say those words."

"Ah, but the line between the imagination and reality has to be blurred for real magus!"

"Sadly, I'm not too keen on the whole magus concept. Again…" I groaned.

"Oh, what's my gift called again?"

"Must I name it?"

"Every magus has to give a grandiose name to every spell and mystic code they make so that they can sound superior to the non-magical folk."

She says those words with a slight bit of derision, ah, she has never liked how magus's work after all.

The fact that my magic breaks all the rules her father has thought her…

We kept it a secret from her father as I masquerade as her apprentice. The truth of the matter was that I surpassed and equalled her in many respects in just a handful of years.

"Well, it can tap into parallel dimensions for unlimited prana… and it can also cut a target across timelines to make sure the target dies when it is killed. Hmm…" I thought about it for a while and couldn't help myself. "I'll call it…" I held on for a bit longer as the suspense drew more of Adelaide's attention.

"Jewel Sword Adelaide Zelretch."

It was worth it to see the silver haired beauty I've come to know and admired look completely flustered and out of her depth.

I think I'm getting used to having fun like this.

"T-t-that's a, um, strange name."

"I can think of no better name for a Mystic Code I dedicated to only one person."

"R-Really? Then, I guess I have no choice to name my next one after you."

"There's always a choice. And I can see you making that one." I smirk as I peeked using my future vision, or, Clairvoyance.

She pouted adorably before looking away a bit uncertain at something, her cheeks still flushed a deep shade of red.

It's an… unusual reversal of circumstances, all things considered he was usually the one being flustered.

"Well, I hope that one day we can make a Mystic Code together, maybe… we can use both our names for it." She suggested, and I nodded enthusiastically.

"Yeah, that'll be delightful. Although it'll be a real mouthful if you think about it." I quipped.

"Well… we could take turns, we could call it Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, Kischur Schweinorg Zelretch or… Adelaide Zelretch Schweinorg? That can work too."

"How about all of them? We can always make more." I suggested.

"That will be wonderful." She smiled brightly as if looking forward to the future.

Only one of those names were ever used.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I find that I've been frozen at the spot just looking at the jewelled rapier.

Ah, it's only been 5 seconds in real time despite the vividness of that memory.

People were asking me if I was alright and what was wrong, I was a bit out of it to make any real sense of who said what.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Ah, I was mistaken. Wrong sword it seems. This is the… Jewelled Sword Adelaide Zelretch. Think of it as the prototype that no one else was meant to use, not even myself." I said solemnly with a sad smile.

"Then who?" Miya asked with… curiosity?

"I can't really remember. But she was dear to me… so, so dear."

The Fool Arcana levelled up, I wasn't in the mood for it.

"Ah, that's enough posturing and moping! Anyways, tell me more about the power blocs after Gil-kun's stunt!? I bet there was lots of fun stuff going on, and also, I saw MBI's tower coloured pink. Who did that by the way? Not bad for a first try." I say cheerfully, I think everyone got the message to drop it and go on with answering my questions.

Still, I could see some major concern with Iris, Miya, Minako and Yu. The rest of them actually looked as if they were sorry for me, or worse yet, I could see downright pity.

I couldn't be bothered to get mad at that.

"Well, I did see that Faker standing on high rises trying to look cool." Gil said casually.

"Yeah, he was like 'Oh! I'm so cool with my red butt cape standing over the city at night'." The blonde twintailed Sekirei Mitsuha mocked the person who seriously sounded like Counter Guardian EMIYA.

"I mean, as if dark skin and white hair couldn't stand out enough already." The other blonde ponytailed Sekirei Mitsuki agreed along with what looked like her twin sister.

"It's not a butt cape it's a half overcoat!" Kuro protested vehemently whilst Shirou agreed strongly through nods.

"If it weren't for the enchantments it would be an unnecessary addition to combat attire." Angelica noted in a dull manner.

"I thought the two of you were just superhero wannabes." Julian said without any remorse.

Eventually, it devolved into an argument of outfits with the Sekirei trying and failing to defend their own choice of tight skimpy outfits with no defence purposes other than to highlight they were Sekirei.

"Well, heh, that bastard Higa Izumi had almost all his Sekirei leaving him save for two of his attack dogs. I think his assistant Kakizaki's Sekirei also left him, which is a huge blow since it was Kochou…" Uzume said from right outside the dining room.

Oh, they're back?

How much did they hear? Well, it doesn't matter. I was going to make sure everyone was on the same page.

It came as no surprise that Uzume somehow kept tabs on the bastard since he was the one that made sure Chiho was kept under his thumb to blackmail Uzume.

How he could do such a thing to a kind, sweet and cute girl like Chiho eluded me.

Well, that was a lie. I probably raped a few girls that were like that back at the 'Cuntry', but to be fair, they were already trained sex slaves so that didn't count since that was the past.

"Is Kochou that crucial?" I asked.

"Bro… she's basically the super hackers you see in movies, that, and general technopathy." Uzume explains to me. "Oh! Bro, you're going to love what I've put Akitsu-chan in. Take a look!" She drags Akitsu who was followed by an expectant Yashima and Chiho to my line of sight.

How does Uzume have so many great costumes again?

What Akitsu was wearing would have been a certain kill on me had I been a virgin.

A dark blue high-waist skirt with a frilly white blouse that wrapped around Akitsu's ample chest in a manner that emphasised it's shape. However, her high waist skirt only reached up to the same length as Yashima's outfit, in other words, it covers as much as a micro skirt would if it were worn at the typical length. Her white legs were partly covered by her black stockings that reached up to her thigh. The outfit was made more elaborate by a corset-like accessory around her waist and a dark blue ribbon tied around her neck.

There was no mistaking it.

It was the Virgin Killer outfit.

I see Illya, Miyu and Kuro charging at Shirou to cover his eyes before he succumbs fully to it's effects at the corner of my eye. Julian had a nosebleed and passed out. Kanji needed a Revival Bead. Rin, the depraved bisexual had the gall to look at Akitsu like that, I'll get her back for this.

I could see Gil-kun, Yosuke and Yu giving me a thumbs up.

"Holy shit I think you just killed me with your beauty Akitsu."

"Ah… not yet." She said with a small smile.

"A-Ah, Adachi-san?" Miya called out to me, and I was rather surprised she wasn't angry.

"Eh, what can I help you with Miya-san?"

"Could you make some time the day after tomorrow? I-I need you to come with me somewhere."

"Holy shit…" I heard 'Kagari' mutter under his breath.

I could sense that it was important somehow so I agreed.

"I always set aside time for friends, I would be happy to accompany you. Ah, I'll see you later! Gotta go!" I grab onto Akitsu and teleport us out to begin our date.
