After the Witcher Arc, I'll take a week off to edit the earlier chapters so they're not so... Unecessarily long. I feel like I may have leaned into the relationship with Gil and Kirei too much. Sure, I did plan to kill the latter off hence why the build-up, but I didn't even realize it's over 100K words already😅 I need to be more concise but ...

Guest: Oh, yeah, about Circuits. Leo’s Circuits follow the standards for Modern Magi which are weaker than what ancient human had, while the Body Branch Parameters are calculated based on Servants. It’s my way of balancing the two since Magecraft is incredibly versatile.
Triss exceeded all expectations.

After some back-and-forth, Triss ultimately decides, against her better judgment, to place her trust in me and set about crafting the artifact. I’d have asked her outright for the Spell, but knowing Nasu, there’d likely be some contrived reason it wouldn't work… A Mystic Code built to last, however…

It’s a strange, almost surreal experience to be in that twilight state of half-alertness and half-drunk, and right after we leave Crow’s Perch as well…

Ciri's doing a fine job, I must say.
Of the Crookback Crones, Brewess is probably the easiest match for the budding Witcheress.
She's… The RPG tank—cumbersome and slow; a battering ram with a taste for human flesh.
Every swing she takes, though clumsy, carries enough force to bash open heads and crush skulls.
Something gnaws at the back of my mind… Something crucial to the Questline.
Should I slay the Spirit or set it free?
One condemns Phillip to hang himself, the other will save the man and his wife, bitchy as she is.

The forest looms in a tangled web of twisted, gnarled trees reaching up to the blanketed sky where the stars twinkle weakly, like the dying breaths of mortal men.

My foot collides with the severed head of a homunculus. This one wielded its hair as a weapon, not unlike of that certain butler’s style, rather than the on-the-go Familiar Creation favored by Illya and Irisviel. I was right—they’re scared, as much as poor imitations of human beings can be.
And they have every reason to be.

“You know what the first car I’ll snag once I finally get my driving license?” I toss the question into the car’s buzzing silence.

After an hour, Kiritsugu and I get settled into our motel room. I go to fetch us each a can of soda each.
Not that either of us needs to worry about packing on the pounds—for Kiritsugu, the Curse he endures affects far more than just his Magic Circuits; it causes a gradual atrophy in all aspects of his physicality, weight included.
