Chapter 239 - Story 12 Fate/Fool Chapter 13

To put frankly, I had top-grade Magical Circuits, even for a human period. Regardless of the current Age of Man, my Magical Circuits were made and implanted by my sponsor who was obviously far beyond the scope of this universe.

Combined with my Six-Eye's that allowed me to use my very large capacity of mana with damn near perfect efficiency. That allowed my to stretch my magical abilities far further than any other mages.

But... Tamamo's absorption of my mana with her being a high-ranking Servant didn't take into account my mana efficiency, she was just refueling her own tank of mana. And teleporting from some foreign Texture, back into our Human Texture?

That was obviously going to be costly in terms of mana usage hence why I was low on mana as using the Limitless Red and Hollow Purple used not even half a percentage of my total mana stores.

"Come on Tamamo. I need to get out into the open before making this call to the Association." 

We quickly made our way, well away from our teleportation point in an alleyway that was thankfully empty and once we got to the road, we crossed passed a couple business's before I found a bus bench for people waiting for buses so I plopped down on it and finally took out my cell phone.

While I noticed Tamamo was pouting making me smile wryly and I asked simply as I dialed the emergency Mage's Association hotline to report ghoul sightings and phantasmal creatures. "Why are you pouting?" 

Tamamo's sandal-covered feet made a bit of noise as she lightly kicked the ground petulantly as she muttered. "I was almost useless down there... The space was too confined for my sword, too small for a more powerful talisman and I certainly couldn't use a Noble Phantasm." 

Her pout turned slightly angry as she muttered. "Not to mention that monster was still half as physically strong as me... Me! An avatar of a goddess being even slightly matched by some weird monster!"

Tamamo was actually just being adorable at this point so I just patted her head with my free hand that wasn't holding my phone and as my hands naturally curled in her hair behind her fox ear's I heard her sharply inhale as I said comfortingly. "You were in a bad environmental match-up Tamamo. We were both heavily restricted by the environment."

But before I could continue to comfort the fox waifu, the phone buzzed and I felt mana enter it before a cold harsh male voice spoke. "This is the Mage's Association emergency hotline, be aware that false claims and lies may result in you being vivisected in front of an audience to deter other false claims." 

I remained silent for a hot moment hearing that fucking greeting but I shook my head and spoke. "This is Jake Bariss, I am a new Enforcer with the ID #### I have an emergency report on the ghoul hunting mission in Las Vegas." 

The male voice continued in a more even tone. "I see... I got your ID Enforcer, relay the events, and what has happened."

Taking a deep breath I spoke clearly and concisely. "Whatever mage is here, is involved in making a portal to an Inhuman Texture as his tunnels go down hundreds of meters into the ground. And within the tunnel is several monsters that may be considered ghouls if only very vaguely but in reality they are closer to skinwalkers or something like a Wendigo as they each have an elk-like head and four glowing eyes." 

There was a pause before the voice spoke. "Did you find any proof of possible Dead Apostle activity as well Enforcer?" 

"No, I didn't have time. Me and my familiar had to flee due to the strength of the monster's being far above what we could handle. And the smaller tunnels makes using more powerful magecraft and abilities unwise while the monsters are... Extremely adept in fighting in close range."

A monster who could meet a Servant on even slightly even terms? Yeah I wasn't going to get in a fucking fist fight with one of those things when I didn't know if those claws were cursed or toxic even if I had Limitless.

There was a pause as the operator took down my information and then he spoke again. "Enforcer, you have been comped a hotel room at Golden Opportunity Hotel, an emergency team will be meeting you there within the next six hours in you will lead or guide the team to the site barring you having any debilitating injuries." 

After a moment I said quite firmly. "You need to make sure the emergency team has experience dealing with foreign non-human texture mana and is extremely adept in close combat as the monsters are extremely fast even with full body reinforcement." 

The operator was silent for a moment before he said with some amusement. "Do not worry, the task force coming has two retired members of the Queen's hunting troupe. Along with a couple of excommunicated Exectutionor's of the church along with a member of Policies."

"You just be more worried about this being a hoax... As they will string you up for making them fly across half of America to this." He finished with the line being cut. 

But then Tamamo said. "Jake, may I borrow your phone for a second?"

Blinking I handed over the phone to Tamamo who hummed before she flicked the back of the phone like there was a bit of dirt on it and I saw a small blue light zip off before hitting the ground and breaking.

"They had a bug in your phone that was implanted in your phone when you called. To track you, and listen in to see if it was likely a prank." She said proud at having picked it up.
