The night was enchanting, the moonlight cool and clear.
In a dim alley, a young man with refreshing features, orange hair, and a purple jacket was carrying a burlap sack that seemed to contain something. After deliberately avoiding the patrol routes of several police officers, he vaulted a wall into the backyard of a mansion.
The young man's name was Ryuunosuke Uryuu, an ordinary "internal organs art enthusiast" from Fuyuki City.
—In short, a serial killer.
Of course, with such a "hobby" kept in the dark, the residence the young man entered was not his own, but one he had casually invaded a few days prior.
As for the original owners of the mansion... thinking back, Ryuunosuke was still dissatisfied with the "artwork" he had created using that family.
However, these troubles did not dampen his spirits tonight. After all, tonight he had encountered a "rare specimen." He was certain he could create a beautiful "art piece" using her body, and he could also try out that strange demon-summoning text he had found in his family's old house.
He entered the mansion and walked towards the living room, which reeked of blood. Placing the burlap sack to one side, Ryuunosuke did not turn on the lights, instead lighting a few candles for illumination.
He went to the refrigerator, took out a frozen blood pack, and casually kicked aside the "artwork" made of dismembered limbs in the center of the living room to clear a space. Then, he fumbled on the sofa for a moment, found an ancient book, and began to draw the "magic circle" depicted on its pages on the floor with blood.
"Hmm... let's see, this should be about right? Next up, the sacrifice... I hope you bring me a surprise, Lord Demon~!"
Humming a little tune, Ryuunosuke opened the burlap sack he had set aside earlier.
Under the candlelight, the figure dragged out of the sack was gradually revealed.
It was a petite and charming girl with waist-length purple hair, dressed in a black and white Gothic Lolita dress.
However, likely due to drugs, the girl was currently in a deep sleep, her cherry-like mouth crudely gagged with a white cloth strip, completely unconscious.
"See, this is why I say it's dangerous for a young lady to wander around alone at night~!"
Ryuunosuke raised an eyebrow and chuckled, extremely pleased with this "material" as he admired the curves of the girl's frame and her fair, delicate skin.
He dragged the girl's body and placed it in the center of the "magic circle." Glancing at the incantation written in the old book, he took out a folding knife he carried with him.
"If I'm summoning a demon, it's more fitting to do it while creating 'art,' right? So let me see, what color are your insides, my cute little lady~!"
Slowly chanting the bizarre incantation, Ryuunosuke looked at the girl who had drunk the drugged beverage he offered after a few gentle words of flirtation on the street earlier that night. The knife in his hand flipped nimbly between his fingers before he lightly slit open the dress on her body.
—Rip.
The soft sound was particularly piercing in the darkness. However, what was revealed after the fabric was cut was not the fair, smooth abdomen Ryuunosuke had imagined.
The girl's abdomen was beautiful at first glance, but it had something that shouldn't have been there.
It was a wide zipper, made of a material resembling human teeth, attached directly to her flesh. The zipper ran from her left and right ribs down to below her navel, as if opening it would reveal things one would rather not imagine.
"Whoa, whoa, what is this? I had no idea something this cool existed!"
A wave of excitement washed over his face. Ryuunosuke subconsciously began to unzip the zipper on the girl's flesh, but at that moment, a slightly seductive, playful laugh suddenly rang out.
"My, a girl's secret insides aren't something you can just show to anyone, you know~!"
What?
Ryuunosuke blinked in surprise, not understanding why the girl had suddenly woken up. But at that moment, from within the girl's body where he had slightly opened the zipper, something squirming gradually emerged.
—The next second, a bloodcurdling sound of chewing and swallowing echoed through the dark living room.
A few seconds later, a blood-stained, tattered purple jacket gently fell to the floor. The purple-haired girl in the torn dress shrugged, zipped up the zipper on her abdomen, and her pink tongue lightly licked a drop of blood from the corner of her lips. She said with a helpless tone.
"See, I told you. Even if you want to be all lovey-dovey with me, you can't be in such a rush, mister. Still, you were my type. It's really a bit of a shame."
Sighing as if in genuine regret, the girl scanned her surroundings.
"I managed to sneak in here without that worm-user descendant from Kiev noticing, but I never expected things to turn out like this. Should I say I'm lucky, or that you're just unlucky... In that case, I'll be taking your place, mister!"
Watching the three crimson Command Spells gradually appear on the back of her hand and the magic circle beneath her feet begin to glow, the girl's cheeks flushed as she stretched out her hand, staring excitedly at the circle.
"Who will it be? Who will it be? Since I didn't prepare a catalyst, it's likely to be someone related to me. Could it be Jeanne-chan? If so, that would be the worst and the best possible outcome!"
Like a schoolgirl who just found out about a field trip the next day, the girl paced back and forth by the summoning circle with an excited expression.
Finally, with a flash of light, a man in black mage robes appeared in the circle. His posture was slightly stooped, his hair was slicked back, and his eyes were wide and staring.
"Ah, I was prepared for this, but to think I'd actually summon Gilles... But it doesn't matter. Let's just call it a reunion of old friends. Long time no see, Gilles!"
The girl bounced forward enthusiastically, grabbed the black magus's hand, her voice filled with nostalgia and excitement.
Caster Gilles de Rais, after a moment's pause, seemed to realize who she was. He stared at the girl for a while before speaking slowly.
"Is that you, François? Why are you... Never mind. I doubt you'd answer even if I asked."
"Ha, don't say that! It's a rare reunion, we should be happier, Gilles! Besides, this body's name isn't François anymore. Just call me Francesca Prelati. Isn't that so much cuter?"
Francesca's lips curved into a smile as she placed her hands behind her back and leaned forward playfully.
But Caster merely grunted sullenly. After observing the bloody surroundings, he asked in confusion.
"So, you're the one who summoned me for this Holy Grail War? Do you have some wish you want to grant?"
"My wish isn't important at all. What's important is that this is the Holy Grail War, Gilles! Don't you want to see Jeanne-chan again?"
"Ah... My Saint..."
The previously composed Caster immediately became agitated upon hearing that name.
"That's right, the Saint herself! So, to make Lady Jeanne descend, let's turn this Holy Grail War completely upside down, Gilles!"
Her eyes flashing with excitement, Francesca threw an arm around the shoulders of the seemingly unhinged black magus, a joyful arc on her lips.
