"I've made my decision, old man."
Yeah, I'm clear on what I'm gonna do next.
"Oh, and what would that decision be?"
My decision... I think I've thought it through pretty well.
It's a gamble that I'm doing, it can go very well, or it can go very badly.
"A Noble Phantasm from Gacha and a Servant from the Gacha. That's what I've decided."
That's the conclusion I've come to.
The option of spending my meager Fate Points on Fate Skills that I have no idea about is not in my plans, not at the moment. I might think about it in the future when I have Fate Points to spare.
The option of turning Kuroka or Shirone into Servants is there, but I prefer to leave it for later. The two sisters have just emerged from a traumatic situation, with one of them having to endure daily experiences. I don't think it's right to turn either of them into my Servants.
The option of getting two Servants was also feasible, but I didn't see that coming. Two Servants may be too many to handle right now, one of them seems to me to be enough for the time being.
The option of getting two Noble Phantasm was similar to Fate Skills. I may be unlucky and get two "bad" Noble Phantasms, and waste my two Fate Skills. And besides, with my magical power and MP, I don't know if I can put two Noble Phantasms to good use.
Therefore, getting a Servant and a Noble Phantasm is the option I have chosen. It's the least risky, regardless of the possibility of turning Kuroka and Shirone into Servants.
My concern right now is the Servant. There is no Holy Grail War in this world, so I am not sure what your reaction will be when you are summoned.
If the Servant is hostile to me, I always have Tiamat at my back. I doubt that a Servant, whose power is relative to my magical power, is stronger than Tiamat.
As long as it is not Gilgamesh who is summoned, I think I am safe...
Perhaps these concerns are unnecessary. I'm taking over his main body from Throne of Heroes, which many probably wouldn't want to enter.
I'm giving that Servant a new life.
"I anticipated that choice."
The old man nods his head.
"Well, I'm going to invoke the Noble Phantasm first."
If I'm lucky, I may get to defend myself with the Noble Phantasm from a rebellious Servant.
[You're going to spend 1 Fate Point at the Gacha to get a Noble Phantasm, are you sure of your decision?]
Is that you, God's voice?
....
Okay, okay. Don't answer if you don't want to.
"I'm sure"
[1 Fate Point used, Noble Phantasm summoned in...]

A bright light appeared in front of me. And from there it appeared... nothing. Nothing appeared at all.
"Hey, man. You're playing with me, right?"
I just spent 1 Fate Point for nothing, I feel ripped off.
Hey, man, say something.
Why do you have that pensive face?
"So this is the Noble Phantasm that you've got... That's a problem for you since you can't use it yet."
"What do you mean, old man?"
[The Noble Phantasm obtained from the Gacha is: Phoebus Catastrophe]
Phoebus Catastrophe? Atalanta's Noble Phantasm?
I can see why the old man says it's a problem.
Since I don't have a bow, and I don't know how to use one.
Even if I could use a bow, I don't think a standard bow could withstand the Noble Phantasm.
So right now, this Noble Phantasm is completely useless.
"Hmm, what do we do now? There aren't many bows that can support this Noble Phantasm, you'd need a Noble Phantasm type bow that can support this Noble Phantasm."
I've been doubting this for a while, but it seems the old man can read my mind. He's a supposedly omnipotent being, so it wouldn't be weird if he could.
"I know. How about I give you a present?"
Already the old man's delirious once again.
"Since we've involved you in this whole multiverse salvation problem and my daughter has taken your life as a human, I'm going to give you a little compensation."
The old man raises his hand, and a glow similar to the previous one covers his arm. This continued for a few seconds until the light gradually faded, leaving an object in the old man's hands.
It's a bow.
An ordinary bow.
I don't understand what's so special about this bow. Is the old man joking with me again?
"Why don't you use [Status inspection] on this bow?"
If the old man says it, it's for a reason.
[Status Inspection]

----------------------------------------
"A Noble Phantasm?"
The old man just gave me a Noble Phantasm?
Wait, that's not the problem.
Can the old man get a Noble Phantasm that casually?
Well, we're talking about an almost omnipotent being, so it wouldn't be surprising if he could do something like that.
"You should be able to use your other Noble Phantasm, are you satisfied?"
Of course, I'm satisfied!
But I can't show it openly, so I can get more out of the old man.
"I can't say I'm not satisfied, but considering all I've suffered because of your daughter..."
There it is again, the eyebrow...
"Don't try to chew more than you can eat, kid. Thank me that I've been generous enough to give you this Noble Phantasm and get out of here."
"But..."
I have to insist, I have to try to get more out of the old man.
"No buts or shits! I've put up with you long enough, get out of here!"
No! Not yet!
Shit...
My conscience is fading once again...
"What about my Servant?" I ask with what little strength I have left.
With what little sight I have left, I can see a look of ridicule from the old man.
"Were you thinking of summoning a Servant in your subconscious? Are you such an idiot?"
Damn old man...
........
White...
The first thing I see when I open my eyes is pure white hair.
"Nee-sama, Draco-nii has awakened!"
Ah, it's Shirone...

"Nee-sama! Draco-nii has awakened!"
I have a headache... So much noise...
But I can't complain, Shirone's cheerful voice is not something you can hear every day.
"Run and call Tiamat, Shirone!"
Why does everyone have to shout?
But once again, I can't complain, Kuroka's innocent voice isn't something you can hear every day.
It's a new side of the two Nekoshou sisters I've never seen before. Neither the light novel nor the anime shows such an energetic Shirone nor such a young and innocent Kuroka.
Have you ever seen Kuroka with the same size breasts as Shirone?
I, personally, have not. Maybe some of you have, but I don't care.
And I have nothing to say about Shirone. She's so quiet and reserved both in anime and light novels, letting go a little later in light novels, but without getting rid of that Kuudere attitude.
"Yes, Nee-sama!"
Two pairs of feet running, one approaches me, and one moves away.
"How are you, Draco? Are you all right? Does anything hurt?"
Calm down a bit, Kuroka. I just woke up, you know.
"My head hurts a little, but it's bearable."
"Ah!"
I think I just heard a gasp. And now a pair of legs are coming at me. I guess it's Kuroka running towards me.
I'm not looking at what's going on outside because I'm focused on a single sentence I see on the screen in front of me.
[Normal Skill [Art of Human Transformation: Lv1] acquired.]
[Level of Normal skill [ Art of Human Transformation ] was increased from 1 to 5]
My mind is just focused on this thing.
To my mind come the words the damn old man said to me as we talked in that white world.
"I'm fond of you, so I'm gonna give you a gift. It's something you've wanted since you were reincarnated."
Fucking old man...
Not only do you give me a Noble Phantasm, but you give me this gift. I don't know how to thank you.
"Don't thank me, just fulfil the mission for which you've been chosen."
I think I just heard the old man speak in my mind. Seriously, old man, I appreciate it so much that I hear your shitty voice in my head.
"Who do you say has a shitty voice?"
"Fuck!"
"Draco?"
I was lying on the floor, and I got up out of the blue when I heard the old man's voice a second time.
"It's okay, I just remembered something I shouldn't."
I'm sorry, Kuroka. I can't tell you an old man is talking in my head.
"Do you have a problem with me?"
Shut up!
"Are you all right? If you still have a headache, you can..."
"I can...?"
What's with that embarrassed look on Kuroka's face? Is Kuroka blushing? Is it serious?
I feel so lucky right now.
Kuroka's playing with her fingers as she tries to recite her next words.
"You can lie down on my lap."
I'd love to!
"My head still hurts a little..."
"Then come! Rest on my lap! -Nya!"
Yeah, trying to be melodramatic always works.
"I knew you were stupid, but you're also despicable."
Shut up, man. No one's asked for your opinion here.
Kuroka sits down and pats her lap, telling me I can lie down in it.
Here I come, my dear Kuroka-chan!
"Draco?"
Have your parents ever caught you drinking alcohol when you were still underage? Or smoking?
That chill that runs down your spine, the body freezes...
That's what I'm feeling right now.
"Yeah?"
I turned my head and saw that beauty with the crystal blue hair. That woman I fell in love with at first sight, and who has made me her adopted son temporarily until I reach a strength greater than hers.
"You have awakened. I am... I am..."
She threw herself at me and held me tightly.
Hey, man.
"Tell me."
Am I dreaming?
"No, I assure you that everything is real."
I love this feeling.
The heavenly tits of Tiamat, pressed against my chest, it's a feeling I can never forget. No matter how much time passes, I can always remember this.
I could die right now, and I would die without remorse.
"You can't die now!"
I know, man.
That's why, as much as it hurts, I have to stop Tiamat.
"Tia, you're drowning me."
"Ah!"
Haaaa
I've never paid any attention to it, but being able to breathe isn't so bad either.
"It's not fair..."
"I agree with you, Shirone. We can't compete with 'it' right now."
What are these two saying?
Well, it's not too hard to guess. I just have to follow the look on the two sisters' faces so I can see what they're referring to.
Yeah, they're the same weapons that nearly drowned me to death.
Tiamat's pair of heavenly tits are invincible to both Nekoshou right now.
But...
Don't worry, my dear Nekoshou! Give it time, and your tits will be able to rival Tiamat's!
"Despicable."
It'd be nice if it was a Tsundere girl who said that, but it's not cool if it's an old bald who says it.
"Who are you calling bald?"
But you don't deny you're old.
"Bastard..."
Okay, okay. For now, I have something to do right now. I have a Servant waiting to be summoned.
But first, I'm going to ask God's Voice to show me the details of my first Noble Phantasm: Phoebus Catastrophe.
----------------------------
Phoebus Catastrophe (Noble Phantasm)
True Name: Phoebus Catastrophe: Complaint Message on the Arrow
Owner: Draco
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: B
Range: 2-50
Maximum number of targets: 100 people
Description: It's the technique of nocking and shooting arrows with a bow. Nocking two arrows, a complaint to the gods, the user aims them at the sky as they begin to shine, before releasing them at a great enough speed that they pierce through the clouds while leaving behind a glittering trail. Shortly after, there comes a faint light filling the sky and a sound similar to the falling rain, but instead of it being a rain of water, it is a rain of arrows of light falling onto the enemies like a downpour. As the malevolent gods seek a sacrifice, they scatter down a "torrential rain under the name of catastrophe" on the next turn after it is invoked, carrying out an attack on all enemies. It is possible to set the range of the downpour, letting it spread over the battlefield or focusing it all onto a single enemy. The single arrows are powerful enough to pierce through golems but can be evaded and blocked by Servants. Though the damage dealt by each individual arrow is small, they attack in great numbers, so the Noble Phantasm is strong against Servants who have low Endurance and high Agility. Concentrated targeting to purify a single enemy is much stronger. The option to switch between raining arrows over a wide area or a narrow area makes it a very convenient Noble Phantasm.
