The voice of an old friend and enemy echoed so familiar words in my mind, and for a mont I felt myself back on the rock talking to that person once again, wondering how we got to that stage before arriving in this world. Hah~ I felt so old.
Well, since he was this determined, I might as well do the deed then.
...
I got up from my chair attracting everyone's attention, and I looked at Ise from my height. "I should warn you, if you really want to do this, we cannot stop the process until it is finished. So I will ask one last ti, do your really wish to do this?"
"Do it." Ise looked at resolutely. "I can take whatever you throw at ."
"Very well, then." I turned to Rias. "I would need to borrow one of your rooms, would that be fine?"
"Whatever you need, just na it." Rias replied back.
"Okay, I need an empty room with enough space for to draw a magic circle roughly 3 to 6 feet in diater, preferably so place that would not be too affected by your demonic energies." I then motioned to Asia with my thumb. "Best to have her on standby, because the procedure could get very volatile. And maybe sothing soft to lay him down after the procedure."
"Okay, anything else?"
"Oh yeah, one more thing." I let out a teasing smile. "I would need to borrow the kitchen."
"Hah?" I absolutely swear to Zelretch. Simultaneously, Rias, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki blinked at the sa ti while making the most comical expression of confusion.
"I would need to borrow so of the stuff from the kitchen to make the dicine required to force open his circuits." I explained after letting out a good chuckle. "It's not like I have ready-made items to awaken a person's Magic Circuits. That would be very dangerous since anyone would try to do so without proper instructions."
"Fair enough, Kiba could you show Shirou the kitchen, we will set up the room as instructed." Kiba nodded and showed the way to the kitchen, with quietly thinking through about the procedures to do this.
Boy, was I in for it or what?
...
"Sorry to get you involved in this." Rias bowed her head in sha as she apologized to Sona and the rest of the Student Council.
"It is fine, we don't mind helping you out in this case." Tsubaki replied as she effortlessly carried a cabinet with one hand and made her way to the doorway. "If doing this helps Hyoudou get his magical abilities up and beat the crap out of Raiser, we can practically do this all day long."
"You needn't worry about this." Sona agreed with her Rook's words. "Besides, this would be an ideal opportunity to study Emiya's brand of magic up close, and also to get an idea of where he ca from."
"Ah, so that's why." Rias let out a teasing smile at Sona before frowning. "So what do you think?" Rias asked her as they cleared out the items in the chosen room.
"Think what exactly?" Sona grunted as she placed the heavy vase on the floor away from the entrance.
"What do you think about the thod he proposed for this session? Do you think it can work?" Rias turned to her with a slightly anxious expression. Sona could tell that Rias was torn between wanting her servant to get stronger but at the sa ti she did not want harm to co to him.
"Emiya-kun did warned you that the thods he would use have a small chance of success, and that it would largely depend on Ise to be able to take it." Sona replied back as she straightened her clothes. "And Hyoudou-kun was the one who requested him to perform the procedure, so you just have to place your faith in him."
"I know, but I just don't want to risk him getting hurt because of this stupid marriage!" Rias threw a minor tantrum as she laid down the pile of books on the table with a little more force than necessary, making it groan in protest. "Because of my issues, my dear Ise is getting himself into danger!"
"I am sure Emiya-kun would take the necessary precautions before subjecting Hyoudou-kun to this ritual." Reya replied as she pushed the chairs out of the room. "He seems capable considering his knowledge."
"I suppose." Rias nodded just as Shirou ca around the corner with Kiba and Saji, talking to them about sothing to which they were nodding a few tis, probably related to the ritual at hand.
She could only pray to the Maous that the procedure would work.
...
Well it seed everyone wanted to stick around for the ritual.
I spent a few minutes in the kitchen asuring out the ingredients required for the ritual, aided by Asia and guri who went about collecting so of the stuff, while Reya was helping with the asurents. For a while a few of the others were watching mix the ingredients up, clearly confused by the type of items I was using, since much of it was technically used for cooking rather than dicine, and things got a bit weirder when I produced a knife to make a small cut on my finger and Ise's in order to get so blood to mix into the ingredients. This way his body would not reject the item and I can use my blood as an anchor to get to the root of the problem. I sent most of them back to Rias and the others to help them out, asking only Saji and Kiba to help in the ritual. After the process was done, I stowed the items into a plastic container and took them with to where the ritual would take place.
"Well, we cleared the room as much as we could, is this big enough?" Rias asked the mont I entered the room.
"More than big, this is perfect." I nodded with slight approval of the amount of working space I have. Having spent ti in my own makeshift workshop in this world, I felt a little claustrophobic due to the relatively small area I had to cramp myself in. This room reminded of my old workshop back ho, minus the clutter.
"So what should we do now?" Ise asked now dressed in a thin shirt for the session.
"First, we should prep you." I drew a symbol in the air to draw out the small kit I had in the dinsional pocket to find the item I needed. A mont of mischief got thinking to unzip one of the bigger compartnts to reveal several syringes.
"Let's see, how much do you weigh? Roughly 50 to 60 kilograms?" I held my chin before slowly drawing the biggest one for everyone to see, roughly the size of two thumbs. "Maye this much would be needed for your condition?"
"What the heck is that?! So sort of weapon?!" Ise's eyes were bulging as he scampered away from . "Don't you even think of poking that into ?! I have seen Pulp Fiction!"
"Emiya-kun, is that really necessary?" Sona asked with a tone of incredulity and a hint of amusent.
"Hmm… Good point." I held back a smirk as I put back the big syringe and took out a relatively normal sized one. "This will do." This ti I held nothing back as I watched Ise heft a big of relief.
"You are evil." Rias raised an eyebrow at .
"That was just penicillin." I could not help but smirk at the expression he gave at my reply. Oh man, I was really infected by both Rin and Zelretch. Stowing that thought, I took out the container and removed the cover to reveal the contents.
"Black toffee?" Rias blinked at the innocent looking snacks I displayed.
"Not quite, rather these are 'Prana Tokens', each one carrying a small bit of Prana to help with the procedure. It also contains a drop of Ise's blood so that his body would not reject it during the process."
"And these are the sa as the ones your friend used on you?" Tsubaki looked at the toffee with a disbelieving tone.
"Not exactly, at least Ise can swallow this and properly digest it under supervisions, rather than having to swallow a small rock in a tight situation and still get cramps from it ti to ti." I grimaced as I clutched my stomach.
Honestly one would think that Rin's gem would pass out of my body safely after a few weeks, but no~ the bloody stone took a couple of years to pass out, during which I suffered a lot of cramps from it, not helped by Rin's laughter when she heard about it.
I made it a point to at least research the procedure and tried to make it more 'custor friendly' in terms of consuming the Prana Token if ever I needed to perform the procedure.
