Chapter 142: Shopping for Clothes

**Fuyuki City's New Town** had developed rapidly in recent years, embodying all the characteristics of a modern metropolis.

This meant there were plenty of places to spend money.

"Master, is it really okay for us to walk around the streets like this?"

Medea asked Li Mo.

As a **Caster**, she naturally understood that the first principle of **mystery** was **「Concealment」**. Walking openly on the streets like this was a rare experience.

As a Heroic Spirit from ancient Greece, she had never seen such a bustling place in her lifetime. The streets were densely packed with people—men, women, the elderly, and children—all walking together. Their clothing styles varied greatly. Although she had been imbued with modern knowledge, knowing something and experiencing it firsthand were entirely different.

Being in the middle of such a crowd, Medea felt a bit overwhelmed.

And…

Wasn't it too much to have so much skin exposed on her legs? It was winter, wasn't it? The cold air was circulating, but the other women didn't seem to feel the chill.

"Miss Medea, I think this outfit suits you very well."

"Right, right? Mo-san agrees with my suggestion too! I knew at first glance that this outfit would suit Miss Medea perfectly!"

"But, Miss Koyanskaya, did you forget to prepare stockings? Most women wear stockings with short skirts, don't they?"

"You're right, I forgot. Mo-san, what color do you think would suit her?"

"Beige or black, perhaps. What do you think?"

"I think white would be nice too. Miss Medea's shy expression is just adorable."

Am I just a mannequin now? Even though I've had children before… this is still so embarrassing. Why do modern women wear such short skirts?

The miniskirt Medea was wearing barely covered her thighs. If it weren't for the warmth of the shopping mall, the cold wind would have been unbearable. More importantly, the expressions on the two of them were **subtle**. They were clearly admiring her beauty, but she still felt uneasy.

Master, I've taught you magecraft, haven't I? I'm your teacher, right…

But surprisingly, being seen as a "beautiful woman" by her Master made it hard for her to get angry. After all, he was focusing on her as a woman, not as the "Witch of Betrayal."

Before she could think further, Medea felt herself being pulled by Koyanskaya into the fitting room again. There were several more outfits waiting for her to try on. Without a doubt, with Medea as the perfect mannequin, Koyanskaya's shopping **desire** had clearly been ignited. As for money… Li Mo wasn't too concerned. Atrum's **inheritance** was substantial.

After all, Atrum was a wealthy oil tycoon from the Middle East. His wealth had allowed him to rise to a position in the Clock Tower just below the nobles. It was probably similar to the Tohsaka family's standing in the Clock Tower.

—The Tohsaka family's ancestor was a named disciple of **Zelretch**, so their status wasn't too low…

Suddenly, a gaze interrupted Li Mo's thoughts. He turned to look in the direction of the gaze and caught a glimpse of golden hair.

Golden hair, red eyes, a black jacket, and a white shirt. The man's face carried a faint, playful smile.

Then, the figure disappeared into the crowd, as if he had only just noticed Li Mo.

Why?

Did he see Koyanskaya and Medea earlier?

No, that couldn't be. If that were the case, we would have noticed him sooner. Did he see me? What gave me away? My magical energy? My life force? My Command Seals? My breathing?

Li Mo couldn't find the answer immediately.

"Gilgamesh?"

He hadn't forgotten that this Servant from ten years ago was still wandering around Fuyuki City. He just hadn't expected to run into him in the New Town.

Wait, the New Town was Fuyuki City's gateway to the world, the most prosperous area. Goods from all over the world could be found here. So running into him here wasn't unusual.

The moment he saw Gilgamesh, Li Mo thought of **Kirei Kotomine**, and then of **Cu Chulainn**. At this point, Cu Chulainn's Master should be Kirei.

So, if Kirei could steal Cu Chulainn's Master status from someone else, wouldn't it make sense for Li Mo to do the same?

The only question was how to support the magical energy of three Servants and how to handle the process.

This reminded me… Since I already have two Servants, could I go ahead and strip someone else of their Master status to gain another Servant? After all, I don't need the Holy Grail.

Knowing that the Holy Grail was filled with the **Evil of this World**, Li Mo no longer held any expectations for its wish-granting **function**.

"Mo-san, what do you think? How does Miss Medea look in this outfit?"

Soon, Medea was pushed out by Koyanskaya again, this time dressed in an OL-style **secretary** outfit.

Li Mo fell silent for a moment, then said, "Miss Medea looks beautiful no matter what she wears. But the problem is… Miss Koyanskaya, this makes Miss Medea's role overlap with yours."

Koyanskaya was a **secretary-type** beauty from the future, a **setting** Li Mo hadn't forgotten.

"Oh? Mo-san, do you want to see me in this outfit?" Koyanskaya asked.

"Of course, I'd love to see Miss Koyanskaya try on other outfits."

"Then, I'll go change~"

Koyanskaya flitted off to pick out more clothes. It had to be admitted, this rabbit had a certain charm. She must have many secrets.

Secrets make a woman even more alluring.

From the very beginning, Koyanskaya seemed to have a certain **favorability** toward him. Why was that?

---

"Mo… Mo-san, I'll go change back into my original clothes," Medea said.

When out in public, Li Mo had asked the two Servants to change how they addressed him. "Master, Master" was too **easily misunderstood**.

In response to Medea's request, Li Mo said, "I think this outfit suits you very well, Miss Medea. Look, even the shop assistant is paying attention to you. Your charm works on everyone, Miss Medea."

"Mo-san…" Medea seemed to brace herself. If that was the case, she would just have to accept it.

She could always just **spiritualize** later.

She looked down and noticed the mask Li Mo was carrying. "Mo-san, what's the purpose of this mask you're carrying?"

She was trying to distract herself from the attention she was receiving.

Li Mo glanced at the fox mask and said, "A friend of mine is **sleeping** inside it. One of my motivations for studying is to awaken my friend."

"A friend? Do you need my help, Mo-san?"

"We'll talk about it when we get back. Miss Koyanskaya is coming out."

Soon, the **pink-haired** beauty secretary, who looked like a fox but was actually a rabbit, reappeared before Li Mo. Her **slender** figure was bound to **attract** most people's attention.

Later, Koyanskaya tried on a series of outfits, including a shrine maiden's robe and a sailor uniform. They stayed until **dusk** before leaving the mall and the New Town, returning to Mount Enzou.
