Chapter 859 A Reason That Cannot Refuse a Colleague
Faced with her master's direct question, Grey's first reaction was to panic, but she quickly realized that this was the assignment her master had given her, and she calmed down.
"Yes, Master Waver, I'm dating Tohsaka-senpai's husband. I'm sorry, I've never done a dating assignment with marriage in mind before, and I forgot to keep track of my progress, but I'll make sure to do it later."
As for schoolwork assignments, they always need to be recorded and left as a record for others to see. The tomb keeper girl thought that her master had come to her for this reason.
Upon hearing this, Waver's eyelids twitched. Sure enough, this was why his disciple was dating Rin Tohsaka's husband.
"Hey, Grey, don't worry about those assignments that are all about marriage. I was just joking with you back then, you don't have to take it seriously."
"So, Master Weber, I don't need to take notes anymore?"
"Of course, a life-long event like marriage should be treated with care and should not be treated like an academic subject. It is only appropriate to find a suitable partner."
Weber nodded repeatedly, and then said, "Broly is, after all, your husband, Tohsaka-senpai. Hesitation will only lead to trouble."
Grey, you should make it clear to him that dating him was just a homework assignment given to you as a joke by your mentor, and that you shouldn't take it seriously.
"Yes, you should politely apologize to the other person and then clearly define the boundaries between you to avoid any potential trouble in the future."
.
"what!"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Weber looked at her and, seeing her awkward expression, couldn't help but ask.
"Master Weber, although I only came into contact with Mr. Broly because of the assignments you gave me, after spending these past few days with him, I think he is a trustworthy and good person—"
'
"So, what you mean is?"
"Master Weber, may I continue my association with Mr. Broly?
Weber: "————"
The way she clutched the hem of her clothes, her face slightly flushed, and dared not look directly at herself, was very much like some introverted children who saw a toy they liked in a shopping mall, wanted it, but dared not ask their parents for it.
"But he is, after all, your senior's husband."
"Tohsaka-senpai doesn't mind."
"Tohsaka doesn't mind, but don't his other wives mind?"
"Uh, I didn't ask, but I guess they wouldn't mind."
Webber looked at Grey, who was speaking softly, and the thought that daughters grow up and leave home suddenly popped into his mind. He also felt a complex mix of emotions, like his own little cabbage in the garden being eaten away by a wild boar, and how he, as a father, was helpless to stop it.
"So, Grey, are you really willing to accept sharing a husband with other women?"
"I don't know, but the system of mistresses existed in the past, and it's not that mistresses don't exist in modern times either. If others can accept it, I should be able to too, right?"
Grey wasn't very confident, but she wasn't thinking about having Broly all to herself; rather, she was worried about whether she could be a good mistress to him in the future.
After all, this was her first time getting married, and she had no experience.
"Since you've decided to continue your relationship with him, I won't stop you. However, I still need to do your due diligence. But I wonder how much you know about Broly?"
Upon hearing this, Gray excitedly told her master about the Saiyan boy, and Waver went from having only met Broly a few times to learning more about him—that he was an alien from another world!
However, the fact that such a person entered this world did not arouse the hostility of the suppressor? Could it be that the suppressor did not notice?
No, even someone like the Grand Marshal of the Demonic Path, who has ties to the Counter Force, attended his wedding banquet and presented him with generous gifts. It's simply impossible that the two Counter Forces didn't know about Broly, this outsider.
Therefore, once all impossibilities are eliminated, what remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth. The two major restraining forces are wary of Broly and have not dared or been able to stop him from invading this world. Broly's true identity should be an alien from another world!
"Such a person is indeed worthy of entrusting one's life to, Grey. I'd like to speak with Broly. I wonder if you could invite him to my place tomorrow?"
"That should be possible, but Master, what do you want to talk to Mr. Broly about?"
"Of course it concerns you. You're dating other people with marriage in mind; shouldn't your mother have been informed?"
"Ah, but what about my mother—"
"I know about your situation, but I need to talk to Broly about it first."
Weber raised his hand to interrupt Grey, telling his disciple to leave.
After Grey left, Weber went to his desk, opened the bottom drawer, and took out a document with the words "Bracmore Cemetery" written on it.
The next day, Broly was invited to this office. He looked curiously at the young man with dark circles under his eyes, who appeared to have stayed up all night, and asked directly, "I wonder what Mr. Weber Velvet wanted to discuss with me?"
"Please take a look at this first."
Weber didn't answer, but placed the document he had compiled overnight on the table and pushed it in front of Broly.
"Brahmaia Village — The Holy Lance Rider System — The Resurrection of King Arthur —"
Broly was a little puzzled, but he still took the document in front of him and started looking through it.
"This is?"
He frowned as he looked at the young teacher at the clock tower across the street.
"This is something that Gray's village has been doing for 1,500 years. Since you are dating Gray with the intention of getting married, I think you also have the right to know about some of the troubles that my disciple Gray is going through."
Weber took a sip of black coffee to perk himself up a bit before speaking.
"Could you please describe the specifics of the problem?"
The document in Broly's hand only described what the village of Brakmoia was doing; it didn't mention Grey at all.
"It says here that King Arthur's resurrection is divided into three parts: spirit, soul, and body. Among them, the spirit is resurrected through the cooperation between the descendants of the Morgan family and the Atlas Institute, one of the three major departments of the Magic Association. The Atlas Institute is responsible for the resurrection. The soul is resurrected through further research on spirit possession. The body is resurrected by the descendants of Morgan in the village of Blackmore."
My disciple Grey is a descendant of the Morgan family, who want to resurrect King Arthur. For 1,500 years, these Morgan descendants have been modifying their offspring with the Arthurian genes.
Eleven years ago, the Holy Grail War began in Fuyuki City. King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon, was summoned to the world in the form of Saber. The appearance of her soul activated the King Arthur factor passed down through generations within some villagers of the village of Brakmoa.
Among them, the one who most thoroughly awakened the King Arthurian spirit was a four-year-old girl.
"You mean Grey?"
"Yes, Gray is the village of Brakmoia, the vessel prepared for the body of the deceased King Arthur."
Of course, despite Saber's defeat at the hands of my Rider back then, the Arthurian genes within Gray did not completely transform her into the likeness of King Arthur.
Even so, the people of Blackmore still regarded Grey's external changes as a sign that King Arthur was about to be restored.
The village leader began preparing for the resurrection ceremony. Years ago, in order to break the curse of evil in this world on Iskandar, I went with him to the village of Brakmoa, which was famous for exorcisms.
Weber began to recount the reason for his encounter with his disciple.
"When we first encountered Grey in that village, Iskandar and I were both terrified; we thought we'd seen a ghost—"
Waver and Grey's first encounter was due to each other's striking resemblance to Saber. Later, while searching for a solution to the curse in the village of Brakmore, they learned about King Arthur's resurrection ritual.
"The vessel that serves as the resurrection vessel for King Arthur's body needs to meet two requirements: First, the vessel must activate the King Arthur factor, the more the better; second, after the resurrection ritual begins, the vessel's original owner's soul must be completely removed to avoid affecting the inhabitation of King Arthur's soul."
The key to achieving this is the Golden Blade, a magical artifact in the shape of a short sword passed down through generations in the village of Brakmoya. Its function is to strip away a person's soul, and similarly, it can also remove the curse from Iskandar.
The one who possesses this crucial item is Lady Magdalena, Grey's mother. She appears to be incredibly fanatical about Grey's change in appearance, seemingly willing to sacrifice her daughter to resurrect King Arthur.
In reality, she was a person who loved her daughter deeply. She collaborated with Belsac, Grey's gravedigger mentor, to prepare to fake the death of her daughter and apprentice before the resurrection ceremony began.
Just before the plan was to be carried out, I happened to meet Iskandar. Lady Magdalena entrusted her daughter to me in exchange for helping Iskandar remove the curse from his soul by using a blade of gold—
This is why I took Grey as my disciple and took her under my wing, caring for her diligently. I owe her a debt of gratitude to her mother, and I should fulfill her mother's entrustment by taking good care of Grey.
"Really? But I heard that Gray is taking care of you, her mentor, often helping with cleaning and maintaining your shoes and such."
Broly asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Ah, well, cough cough, Master, thank you for your trouble. I'll do it on your behalf. It's mainly because Grey is such a respectful child."
Webber blushed a little. At first, it was indeed Grey who took the initiative to help with things, but gradually, he also accepted the benefit of having his disciple do things for him.
Speaking of taking care of someone, it's actually the disciples who take care of their useless master more.
"Mr. Broly, let's get back to business."
"Be careful not to get roasted," Weber quickly said.
"All right."
Broly didn't delve into who was taking care of whom, but instead let the other person continue.
"The plan to fake his death and escape back then should have succeeded. No one from the village of Brakmore has come to cause trouble in recent years, but Grey is still alive, and the people of that village won't easily give up on the idea of resurrecting King Arthur."
"So, Mr. Webber, you're worried that someone might try to take advantage of Grey's body?"
"There are some things I have to be careful about. Although I have Iskandar here, anyone would have to think twice before making a move against a magician's disciple who can command mortal spirits. But there is no shortage of audacious madmen among magicians. Gray is now close to you, and I think I have to talk to you about these things. After all, you are the one who will protect Gray in the future."
"Okay, I understand. I'll handle this. Thank you, Mr. Webber, for informing me of Grey's situation."
"You're welcome. Grey is also my student."
Weber didn't know what Broly would do, but he knew that he, as Broly's master, wouldn't need to worry about his disciple's safety in the future.

"Broly, what did my master tell you?"
When the gravedigger girl met Grey outside the office, she was curious and asked him some questions.
"It's nothing much, she just told me some things about your hometown and asked me to go back with you to meet your mother, my future mother-in-law, when I have time."
"?!"
"By the way, Grey, what are your thoughts on the people from your hometown?"
"What's your opinion?"
"So, besides your mother and your master gravedigger, are there any other people in your hometown that you care about?"
"I don't think so."
"If those people suddenly died in a violent accident, would you feel sad?"
"Oh? Then you'll probably still feel sad, since they're all people from the village, people I know."
As Grey spoke, she took Broly's arm, quite firmly.
"Don't worry, if being a murderer makes you sad, then I definitely won't become a murderer."
Although Grey is naive, she is not stupid. Having read various detective novels, she has already sensed the boy's murderous intent.
However, Broly also realized that she had noticed his murderous intent and expressed a negative opinion, so he quickly made his statement.
"Broly, what are you and Grey talking about?"
Just then, Luvia noticed the two of them and quickly walked over.
"It's nothing much, just that Grey and I were discussing when to go to her hometown to meet her mother together."
"Oh, I see. Can I join?"
"Wait, why are you going with them?"
Broly looked at Luvia with some confusion.
"I've been getting a bit stressed from studying at the Clock Tower lately, so I wanted to go on a trip, but I didn't know where to go. Now that you've mentioned it, I'm thinking of going with you guys. It'll be good to have company on the road. Of course, I promise I won't be a third wheel!"
Luvia said with certainty.
"Ding-a-ling~"
Just as Broly was about to refuse, Luvia's phone rang.
"What? It's gone? What happened?"
Okay, then have someone go and set it up again.
After Luvia answered the phone, she spoke with the person on the other end.
"What happened?"
After the blonde girl hung up the phone, Grey asked her a question out of curiosity.
"It's nothing, it's just that the amusement park I gave you tickets to yesterday, the ghosts that our family specially set up in the haunted house, I don't know who eliminated them."
"Ah, Senior Luvia, were the ghosts in that haunted house something your family specially set up?"
"Yes, our family owns shares in that amusement park, and the haunted house is their signature attraction. They've set up a harmless, treated ghost inside to act as part of the atmosphere team."
"What, Gray, you didn't exorcise it, did you?"
No, it wasn't me.
The tomb keeper girl quickly waved her hand in denial.
"It's good that it wasn't you. Oh well, let's not talk about that. Mr. Broly, may I come with you?"
Luvia, look over here.
"If you want to go, let's go together. It'll be more fun with more people."
Broly awkwardly touched his chin. He had taken someone else's ticket and even accidentally exorcised their ghostly employee. Now, he was too embarrassed to say no.
"Speaking of which, aren't you magicians supposed to keep your magic secret from ordinary people? Why would you put real ghosts in a haunted house?"
"What's the big deal? If there really were ghosts, ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect them, and those who could detect them wouldn't be ordinary people either. This doesn't violate any confidentiality regulations."
