Volume 2 Chapter 1: To You, a Thousand Years From Now
"The Butcher of Sparta"
This is likely the story of a man with a bloodthirsty demonic sword who slaughters his way through the realms of gods and hell.
"Kratos, be my dog."
"This Olympus, too, has been defiled..."
"The dictionary of a Spartan does not contain the word 'bow'."
"Dante, Vergil... I have fully understood your beliefs, I have completely understood your determination, let us become one!"
"Do gods also cry?"
The answer is—
"God May Cry"Chapter 1: To You, a Thousand Years From Now
Cold, but not very shaky.
In a hazy and drowsy chaos...
The black-haired young man slowly opened his eyes.
Before him was a white, unfamiliar ceiling.
A modern-looking circular ceiling light was embedded in the suspended ceiling, but it was not turned on.
Outside the window, the sky was dimly lit.
The usual hazy and dazed sunlight of a London morning streamed in through the window lattice, a sickly light that was neither gloomy nor bright enough.
The room's illumination was somewhat dim.
The air had a faint smell of disinfectant.
The feeling behind his head was not very soft and comfortable, and the bed board underneath him was also a bit narrow and hard.
Su Shu lowered his gaze and looked at the striped hospital gown on his body.
His gradually functioning brain then realized where he was…
—Ah, the nostalgic... hospital.
Before he transmigrated to the Nasuverse in his previous life, he had been lying in a hospital bed just like this, facing the sorrowful expression on his attending physician's face, silently reading his own medical report that declared a terminal illness.
Alwin Pendragon...
A dream he was unwilling to wake up from had finally shattered.
In a daze, as if a lifetime had passed...
Supporting himself with his hands on the bed...
Su Shu slowly sat up.
The first thing that caught his eye...
Was a silver-haired girl sitting in a chair by his bedside, curled up into a ball, hugging her knees in a light sleep.
His gaze unconsciously began to examine this beautiful thing before him.
First, the suede straps of her shoes.
Then, the elegant and gentle curve of her calves, wrapped in black fabric.
Further up, the translucent sheen of her thigh-high socks was faintly visible.
Until the pleated, dark gray plaid skirt blocked all indecent gazes trying to peek into the absolute territory.
A black hood slightly covered her forehead, her exquisite sleeping face seeming to be in a peaceful, deep sleep.
Her thin, small lips were slightly pursed, a trace of crystal clear drool trickling from the corner of her mouth.
The girl named Gray, a fellow disciple of El-Melloi II, and now Su Shu's junior.
Like a curled-up cat, cute and small.
She was so tired... she fell asleep curled up in the chair.
The black-haired young man stared at her face, the silver-haired girl's feather-like eyelashes seeming to be countable.
Seeing this scene...
Su Shu instantly realized—Gray had been watching over him here all along.
I was sent to the hospital.
So... after the simulation ended, how long was I unconscious?
He stealthily lifted the white blanket and slipped on the cotton slippers meant for patients.
However...
Even such a small sound woke the silver-haired girl from her light sleep.
"Mas... ter...?"
Rubbing her sleepy eyes...
The girl slowly opened her deep green eyes, as clear and pure as a lake.
Beside her...
A golden birdcage also began to vibrate.
The blue and gold cube placed inside the birdcage opened its eye and made a jarringly loud noise.
"Waaah~ You bastard finally woke up! Gray-chan has been watching over you here for three days and three nights, you know! Damn it..."
"Add! Be quiet! Master just woke up..."
The silver-haired girl, slightly flushed, began to shake the birdcage in her hand, and the noise in the hospital room instantly became more chaotic.
"Three days and three nights."
Hearing this, Su Shu's expression was a little dazed.
"So I slept for three days and three nights, Gray..."
"Master!"
After finally shaking Add into a daze...
Gray quickly jumped off the chair, grabbed the sleeve of the black-haired young man, and carefully checked him up and down.
He can say my name.
His gaze is also focused on me.
It seems he's still Master!
Yay.
Looking at the silver-haired girl before him, that overly close, incredibly familiar face...
Su Shu's gaze grew slightly hazy.
Such familiar silver hair...
Such a familiar face...
Their figures seemed to overlap across time and memory.
That was—
"Phew..."
After a check-up, Master's body was fine.
Gray finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"You just woke up... you must be very weak after sleeping for so long, right? You shouldn't get up. I'll go and inform Teacher immediately! Also, if you want anything, I'll go get it for you..."
She instructed anxiously.
Gray's concerned and worried voice suddenly stopped.
She stared at the black-haired young man before her, at the tears streaming down his dazed cheeks, and for a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"Eh, ehh, Mas... Master? W-Why are you crying? D-Did Gray make you angry? I-I'm sorry..."
"——!"
The silver-haired girl's delicate body suddenly trembled.
Because the black-haired young man before her had suddenly grabbed her arm.
That admired face slowly drew closer.
Never had they been so close... looking at each other.
It was as if their faces were about to touch.
"Mas... Master...?"
So... so sudden!
The silver-haired girl's hand gripped the bedsheet tightly.
Is... is this...
—Are we going to kiss here?
Are we going to do it? Now? Right here?
Gray stared, almost frozen, her face completely flushed.
She watched as the dazedly crying black-haired young man drew closer and gently pressed his forehead against hers.
He said in a low voice...
Across a thousand years, calling out to his lover.
"My wife..."
"Eh..."
Gray's expression was a little dazed.
Then...
"EHHH—?!"
The silver-haired girl's already blushing face instantly turned a deep crimson.
The alluring crimson spread across the girl's pale, translucent skin like a ripple, even spreading down to her fair neck.
"Mas... Master..."
Master, just now, what did he call me?
Wife, eh.
This...
—This is progressing too fast!
A cloud of steam seemed to rise from the top of the silver-haired girl's head.
In her brain, which was being stirred by that word, the thing called reason was swaying precariously.
This... Master, we haven't even kissed, we haven't even hugged, we haven't even...
And we've—we've become... husband and wife?!
Although it seemed... being called that felt so wonderful, making Gray's thoughts become light and dizzy.
But...
Looking at the dazedly lost, crying black-haired young man before her...
The steam rising from Gray's head, her swaying brain, finally regained... a little bit of reason.
No... that's not right—
Gray's ahoge curled up.
Master, he's not calling me.
Looking at the other's almost dazed, lost expression...
Not knowing if it was regret, disappointment, or relief...
Gray gently let out a breath.
Just like her mother used to hug her...
The silver-haired girl raised her arms and embraced the black-haired young man.
Smiling gently...
Gray gently patted his back.
"...You look very tired, Master."
"Damn it, you bastard... taking advantage of Gray-chan."
In the corner, in the golden birdcage...
The cube named Add muttered under its breath, vibrating, but ultimately couldn't bear to break the peace between the two.
"You seem to have had a very long dream. Gray doesn't know who you're thinking of. Is it a relative from your past world...? But you can tell Gray everything. Master..."
There were no words.
Only a quiet sense of peace.
Gray gently hummed a folk song from her hometown, a lullaby her mother used to sing to her every night before she fell asleep, before her personality changed.
「I see the moon,」
「The moon sees me.」
「God bless the moon,」
「And God bless me.」
Immersed in this warm and peaceful embrace...
The tired soul in the girl's arms peacefully closed his eyes.
When Su Shu opened his eyes again, the dim twilight outside the window was already approaching dusk.
"Gray..."
He turned his gaze to the side.
The silver-haired girl, wearing her hood as usual, was sitting by the bedside, quietly peeling an apple for him.
"I-I'm sorry, I was rude..."
Remembering his previous transgression...
Su Shu couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
The same silver hair, the same face.
He couldn't help but think of... his witch.
"It's okay. Master, Gray is happy to see you awake again..."
Gray smiled, cutting the apple into the shape of a little rabbit and handing it over on a paper towel.
Even though he enrolled late... he's still called Master (Senpai).
It wasn't just because Su Shu was older.
It was because—having obtained the rank of Pride, his current magical skills were considered top-class in the entire El-Melloi classroom.
Not only did he often substitute for the overworked El-Melloi II, his easy-to-understand, humorous teaching style was widely praised.
And no matter how complex the magic, in his class, it could be deconstructed to be incredibly clear and easy to understand.
Complex knowledge was broken down into simple, combinable structures.
He called it Modularization.
Regardless of age, in both academics and achievements, the entire El-Melloi classroom now regarded him as the top student. "Master" (Senpai) was a title of respect.
Gray smiled sweetly at her master.
"You've slept for so long... you should eat something first. The doctor has already checked on you. There's nothing seriously wrong with your body. How do you feel..."
There was no awkwardness in moving his limbs.
Nor the feeling of weakness from long-term bed rest.
Su Shu looked at his palm, flexing his fingers slightly.
"I feel..."
He murmured to himself.
"—Better than ever."
That's right...
His whole body felt like it was filled with an inexhaustible energy.
He felt as if he could smash through the floor with a single punch without using any magic.
Thinking this...
Su Shu raised his hand and took the apple rabbit Gray handed him.
However... while testing the strength of his fingers...
Squish.
He accidentally crushed the apple slice.
"..."
Su Shu looked at Gray with some embarrassment.
However, the silver-haired girl didn't find it embarrassing.
Instead, a smile like a spring breeze appeared on her face.
"It seems... you've just woken up, so you're still not feeling well, right, Master? Then, let Gray feed you... Master, come, open your mouth. Ahh—"
The silver-haired girl leaned forward, her deep green eyes blinking, her cheeks slightly flushed, and handed the apple towards the black-haired young man's face.
Su Shu obediently opened his mouth, bit into the apple rabbit, and began to chew.
A clear sweetness filled his stomach.
His tongue, which hadn't eaten for three days, suddenly tasted the sweetness of the apple, and his nerves seemed to hum with pleasure.
From under the hospital bed, a sarcastic voice sneered.
"That's enough, you bastard Shu. You need someone to feed you an apple? Don't you have hands?"
Clack.
Gray kicked Add, knocking the birdcage to the floor.
"Gray-chan! Waaah..." Add began to sob loudly, his voice filled with sorrow. "I'm the Mystic Code that's been with you the longest! This annoying man is just a third wheel who came between us! How did I become the child of a stepmother? I shouldn't have looked at him in the crowd back then..."
"Add!" Gray's face turned red.
That's right, it's a good thing you looked at me in the crowd, Add.
Remembering how they first met, Su Shu couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.
After he walked out of the hospital, he had suddenly transmigrated to London in 2002, to the city of the Modern Magecraft Department, Marisbiry.
But...
At that time, he didn't know he had transmigrated to the Nasuverse.
This strange phenomenon made him numb. He even began to wonder if his brain tumor was causing hallucinations.
The blue-green modifier on his Huawei phone went offline, and he couldn't make payments.
He had some cash on him, but he couldn't spend yuan without exchanging it at a bank.
As he was being stared at by the old Londoners, someone even wanted to help call the police.
It was Gray, who was out buying bread, who squeezed through the crowd and took his hand.
"Sorry, sorry, this is my lost brother!"
Ah, that's right.
Just like that, I got a cute little sister.
Afterwards...
Su Shu asked Gray why she had helped him that day—she replied that it was Add, who she was carrying, who had noticed Su Shu first.
"Gray, that person's aura is so annoying. No, not annoying, but a complex feeling of familiarity, liking, and dislike. Ahh... how to say it, to be specific, it's like—chocolate-flavored shit."
And so...
The girl had also noticed that Asian face being stared at by the crowd.
However, unlike Add's conflicted feeling...
Gray only felt... an indescribable sense of closeness from Su Shu.
That's right.
Just like... her long-lost brother.
And so, as if by fate...
She squeezed into the crowd and took that stranger's hand.
Thus began the story of the Sleeping Black Magus, which would shake the entire Clock Tower.
It was also after meeting Gray...
That Su Shu, who had seen the Case Files anime, suddenly realized—he had transmigrated to the Nasuverse.
"So, I'm really grateful to you, Add," the black-haired young man said with a grin. "I actually miss your foul mouth if I don't hear it for three days."
"You're too much, Shu... you've bewitched Gray-chan's mind. She doesn't love me anymore."
Add hopped around in his cage, crying, wanting to give the middle finger, but he had no hands.
Looking at this clown-like Mystic Code...
Su Shu's expression grew pensive for a moment.
Add.
Also known as, Rhongomyni-ad.
Although his memory was not very deep, Su Shu, who had seen the Case Files anime, knew—this thing, Add, was the restrained Holy Spear.
But...
—Wasn't the Holy Spear already fused with his shattered Sword of Lingering Ember and turned into a demonic spear in the simulation?
Su Shu was certain—that was not a simulation, but reality. Otherwise, the magical relic of the Son of the White Dragon would not have been passed down.
Could it be that there were many Holy Spears?
At least, from Add, Su Shu couldn't sense a trace of the spiral sword's aura.
It was obvious.
Either there were multiple Holy Spears, or the demonic spear had turned back into a Holy Spear.
Was it... Morgan's doing?
The anime didn't explain the origin of Add in detail.
It only mentioned that the talking function was a pseudo-personality imposed on the Mystic Code.
And Su Shu, now awake, finally understood where that long-felt sense of familiarity came from.
This tone of voice...
This foul mouth...
"So it was you... Kay."
The black-haired young man murmured.
"Master, what are you saying...?"
Feeding Su Shu an apple, Gray vaguely heard him muttering to himself.
"It's nothing. Just... remembering an old friend."
A thousand years have passed.
That foul-mouthed guy is probably dead.
Add is Add, not the real Kay.
Just being able to hear his tone of voice is good enough.
Su Shu lowered his ink-black eyes and gazed at Add, and as usual, was met with the latter's disdain.
"You bastard, your expression is making my skin crawl. Eek~ don't get any funny ideas about me. My heart will always belong to Gray-chan."
Gray's face turned red, and she picked up the birdcage and shook it vigorously.
"Waaah—"
Creepy... huh?
Su Shu smiled.
After all, it was the nostalgic... echo of Britain from a thousand years ago...
Seemingly lost again in the magnificent memories of Alwin Pendragon...
The black-haired young man's expression grew hazy for a moment.
Suddenly...
The shadows in the room began to flow silently.
Sssss...
The bright lights in the room seemed to have a bad connection, suddenly flickering.
"This is..."
Su Shu and Gray both looked up at the buzzing fluorescent light above.
The silver-haired girl tilted her head, a look of confusion on her face.
"Why did the light suddenly break?"
She suddenly shivered.
"...Ah, the room has gotten colder too?"
As if smelling some unsettling, cold presence...
Gray picked up Add's birdcage, her expression suddenly becoming grave.
...No.
The light wasn't broken.
Rather, the light was being swallowed.
This power is...
A thought flashed through Su Shu's mind.
Before his eyes, a system prompt box suddenly appeared.
「Token of the White Dragon's Son」
「Current Synchronization Rate: 1%」
「You have gained 1% of Alwin Pendragon's attribute bonus.」
「Increasing the synchronization rate will also unlock more traits from Alwin Pendragon for you.」
That's right...
The Token of the White Dragon's Son. This was the reward he received after the simulation ended.
A 1% synchronization rate had given him an extremely faint version of Alwin's Light Devour trait.
If he could reach 100% synchronization, did that mean he could completely regain his power as Alwin Pendragon?
Su Shu let out a long breath.
The lights in the hospital room instantly returned to their bright illumination.
Gray looked at her master, a little stunned.
Her keen senses made her vaguely realize something.
Looking closely...
Suddenly, the man before her, his ink-black eyes seemed to have become deeper.
His original temperament was already mysterious, but now, it was filled with a... strange, vortex-like charm that drew people in.
"It was my overflowing magical energy. Sorry."
Su Shu gently shook his head, comforting Gray.
At the same time...
He asked the system in his mind.
"System, if I reach 100% synchronization, can I restore Alwin's power at his peak?"
「Yes, except for the Noble Phantasm.」
So that means the spiral sword can't come back...
A little regretful, but this was within Su Shu's expectations.
Even without the Sword of Lingering Ember, the Son of the White Dragon at his peak could... walk sideways in the Clock Tower... no, even in the entire Nasuverse.
This would greatly increase Su Shu's success rate in pushing the world to resist disasters in the future.
"Then, how do I increase the synchronization rate?"
「Synchronization, literally. You just need to become Alwin Pendragon.」
Hearing this...
Su Shu thought to himself with some confusion.
"...But I am him. Can I become myself?"
「He is you, but you are not him.」
「Alwin Pendragon is only a part of you.」
「To increase the synchronization rate, in other words, is to relive his experiences, feel his emotions, and form his bonds.」
"Relive experiences, feel emotions, form bonds...?"
How do I do that?
This is the 21st century Britain, not the 5th century Britain.
Su Shu thought for a moment and suddenly had a revelation.
"I get it! You want me to go into the Fifth Holy Grail War and make the ahoge girl a loser!"
「?」
"Hmm? Isn't that what you mean?"
「What I mean is... Host, you can dye your hair, do some farming, practice your swordsmanship, etc. These also count.」
"Feels inferior to... Artoria."
「...To be fair, that's true.」
Ah, so rejecting Lily's confession of love makes me stronger, huh.
What a twisted version of a Galgame. Is this world a perverted H-game?
Tsk... it seems it is. Then never mind.
To save humanity...
Su Shu stroked his chin, feeling his train of thought suddenly become clear.
You guys practice magic, I'll go torment Lily. We all have a bright future!
Just as he was pondering this...
The door to the hospital room was quietly pushed open by a slender, pale hand.
Click.
The door was suddenly locked from the inside, blocking anyone else who wanted to visit.
A golden-haired girl in a small top hat, carrying an exquisite lunch box, bowed and smiled at the two of them.
"Yaya Shu-kun, I've come to visit you"
"La-Lady Reines?!"
Reines El-Melloi.jpg
Seeing this uninvited guest...
The silver-haired girl suddenly stood up, a nervous expression on her face.
Lady Reines loved to tease people.
Her various pranks often made her adopted brother's stomach ache with frustration.
And Gray was also one of her frequent targets of teasing.
That wasn't a big deal.
Their daily relationship was actually quite good.
But that good relationship was on the premise that... Master wasn't here!
How can two tigers pounce on one prey?
The silver-haired girl and the golden-haired girl looked at each other.
The air seemed to freeze a little.
A very pleased smile appeared on Reines's face, her deep blue eyes narrowing into thin lines like a cat's.
A subtle, confrontational harem-like atmosphere seemed to quietly spread.
"I'm enough to take care of Master! Lady Reines!"
"Oh my, your way of taking care of people is to peel apples, Gray-chan~"
Reines lifted the lunch box in her hand and shook it slightly.
"This is a loving bento I made myself... for Shu-kun, the best nourishment for such a weak patient~"
"A bento! I-I can make one too! Master taught me himself!"
"You mean your Stargazy Pie, Gray-chan?"
"Guh...?!"
Perhaps... anyone with this Saberface was doomed to never improve their cooking skills.
On Valentine's Day, when Gray presented her heartfelt Stargazy Pie as a gift, Su Shu had fallen silent, looking at the fish heads with their unclosed eyes and strange gleam.
But.
He still ate it all, bite by bite, with a twitching smile.
Then he turned into a rocket man.
What the hell, feels worse than... Popeyes.
Afterward, he was on an IV for three days with gastroenteritis. This made Gray feel incredibly guilty, and she never dared to step into the kitchen again.
At least peeling apple bunnies is cute, right?
"So, taking care of patients is something I should do..."
Without any consideration for a patient's need for rest, the golden-haired girl kicked off her small leather shoes.
Her feet, wrapped in thin black fabric, stepped onto the hospital bed, and Reines directly lifted the blanket, curling up into Su Shu's bed like a cat.
"La-Lady Reines?! You!"
The ahoge on Gray's head was about to stand on end. She had been guarding here for three days and three nights and hadn't even been on the bed!
"Really, you don't know how to take care of patients, Gray-chan."
The golden-haired girl giggled.
Her legs, wrapped in pantyhose, restlessly rubbed against the black-haired young man's thigh.
"For a patient, staying warm is the first priority. The bed here is so cold, so I've come to warm it up for you, Shu-kun~"
"Ah... thank you so much, Reines."
Su Shu looked up at the ceiling, unable to resist.
Otherwise, he would have peeked at Reines's faintly visible, deliberately unbuttoned, fair and smooth neckline from this angle.
"I... I can warm it too!"
On the narrow hospital bed, three people suddenly squeezed into the blanket.
Gray's face was red as she lay on the other side of Su Shu's chest, her deep green eyes trembling slightly as she faced off against the joyful offender.
"Oh my~ aren't you going to peel your apple bunnies? Gray-chan."
Reines covered her mouth and giggled, raising her exquisite lunch box.
"I know your preferences, Shu-kun, so I specifically went to learn a lot of Chinese cuisine~"
Her pantyhose-clad thigh was on top of Su Shu's, rubbing against him ambiguously.
Reines tapped her chopsticks and opened the lunch box layer by layer, placing it on the bedside table.
An alluring aroma instantly filled the room.
The exquisitely presented dishes, which seemed to be glowing, revealed their true forms.
Leek dumplings.
Goji berry and white fungus congee.
Rosemary pan-fried lamb.
Steamed oysters with garlic.
Good heavens... Su Shu exclaimed internally.
It's indeed very nourishing, but what exactly are you trying to nourish?
"Come, come, Shu-kun~"
Reines's deep blue eyes narrowed slightly.
Though she was feeding a patient...
She licked her own luscious lips.
Though she was a bratty little devil...
Her expression was like that of a seductive fox.
Hard.
Being sat on like this, Su Shu's fists hardened.
Woman, how dare you sit on me? This is a position reserved for the witch.
The feeling from between his legs...
Also made the golden-haired girl's expression become even more pleased.
"Let me feed you~ Shu-kun. Come, open your mouth... ahh—"
Su Shu's lips were tightly pursed.
But his will was wavering.
After all, as a Chinese person, he really couldn't resist leek dumplings.
Nothing is better than dumplings.
Seeing that Master's line of defense was about to be breached...
Gray used Sleight of Hand. It was super effective!
"I... I want to eat too! Lady Reines!"
Leaning forward, Gray swallowed the dumpling on Reines's chopsticks in one bite.
She grabbed a new pair of chopsticks and began to furiously eat Su Shu's patient meal.
That's right!
As long as I eat all your food for you, Lady Reines, then Master won't eat your things!
The silver-haired girl swallowed the delicious food, feeling ashamed of her own cooking skills, but this was not a reason for her to give up.
Why did you come here, Reines? Isn't it obvious?
Everyone knows what you're up to.
"Oh my Shu-kun, look at how deliciously Gray-chan is eating"
Casually dispatching the loser Gray-chan with delicious food...
From the very beginning, Reines had never considered her a rival.
And at this moment, she also revealed her true intention, like a wolf hunting its prey.
"How about it? A virtuous wife like me, am I not a worthy helpmate for you, Shu-kun?"
Riding on the black-haired young man, looking down at him from above...
Reines's deep blue eyes lowered.
An ambiguous, enchanting, and soft light that could make one's bones go soft seemed to pour out from the golden-haired girl's pupils, falling onto the black-haired young man's face.
Reines El-Melloi Archisorte said with a grin.
"Consider marrying into our El-Melloi family, Shu-kun. With such an outstanding magus like you, we can definitely create a genius descendant."
Gray choked a little, making a "呜呜呜" sound, seemingly wanting to remind Su Shu not to waver.
Both beauties looked at Su Shu's face.
The golden-haired girl's slender, pale fingertips drew circles on the black-haired young man's chest.
Her seductive and enchanting voice also whispered in Su Shu's ear.
"We can... have a football team, it's okay~"
That's right.
Recruiting Su Shu to marry into her family—this was the goal Reines had been persistently trying to achieve.
This foreign magus before her had no status or background, making him an excellent candidate to marry into the family.
Having obtained the rank of Pride in one year, it was almost a certainty that he would reach the rank of Brand or even Grand in the future.
Looking at her adopted brother's overworked state, he might just cough up blood and die from exhaustion one day.
The huge pile of gold coins he'd leave behind would naturally be left to his top disciple, Su Shu.
Anyone could see that as long as Su Shu was alive, he was undoubtedly the designated Lord of the Modern Magecraft Department. Marrying into the El-Melloi family would be the icing on the cake.
And... putting aside the plan to revive her family...
Reines herself was very fond of this partner.
Because she was... an out-and-out 'older man' connoisseur.
Wanting to have a football team was no joke.
The black-haired young man before her had not only saved her life at the Twin Towers Izelma, leaving a deep impression on Reines...
But this year, he had also won first place in the Clock Tower Female Students' Most Desired Man to ■■ With.
By the way, her adopted brother was ranked second.
The old geezer was completely squeezed out.
The golden-haired girl's ambiguous whispers in his ear...
Made Su Shu have to admit... his DNA was moved.
This request was indeed very tempting...
A golden-haired, long-straight-haired noble lady, tsundere with a little devil temperament, not to mention the black pantyhose attribute, she was simply the best of the best among bratty little devils!
The pleasure of conquering her would naturally be unparalleled.
But...
"Reines, my dear, sitting on someone like this is not the behavior of a lady..."
Su Shu said, word by word.
"I admire people who propose to me every day, because they might just get rejected."
"Then..."
Cupping the face of the black-haired young man before her...
Reines's pantyhose-clad thighs rubbed restlessly.
"Will you reject me, Shu-kun?"
"I refuse."
Su Shu said decisively.
"You've heard these words countless times, haven't you?"
That's right, Su Shu had already rejected her countless times, but Reines was truly persistent.
A rejection is a rejection, but men's words are all lies. A rejection means consent.
However, Su Shu's real thoughts were actually...
—An Abyssal Space Storm is coming, what's the point of having kids!
The Emperor of Mankind had so many, and it didn't help him get off his golden toilet.
So, don't have children, it will lead to unhappiness.
Although Su Shu knew that if he didn't have children, someone else would.
But...
"'To work for the well-being of all mankind, I have no such worldly desires?'"
Reciting Su Shu's usual reason...
Reines giggled.
"Even Sima Yi wouldn't believe that."
That's right.
Of course, those words were a lie.
The real reason was too aggressive, so don't force him to say it...
Su Shu silently stared at her, his gaze intense.
Ten seconds passed.
Reines was still holding on.
Half a minute passed.
Her face turned a deep shade of crimson.
Two minutes passed.
Su Shu finally made her look away in embarrassment.
Tsk, is that all your defense is? In my opinion, it's worse than a Tall-nut.
Su Shu waved his hand, signaling for the two living treasures on him to disperse and not disturb his sleep.
He rolled up in his blanket, preparing to turn over like a salted fish.
"Tsk... you're really not straightforward, are you, Shu-kun."
To Gray's slightly agape expression...
The golden-haired girl's pale hands suddenly cupped the black-haired young man's face and turned it towards her.
And then...
Reines's soft lips pressed down directly.
"..."
Extremely forcefully...
Su Shu was infused with her bodily fluids.
As it flowed down his throat, it carried the unique, slightly cool sweetness of a young girl.
Reines finally lifted her head, the sticky, crystal clear thread of saliva leaving the Gray beside them a little stunned.
"You haven't seen me for three days, so here's a little reward for you."
Why do I get a reward for not seeing you? Are you SCP-096?
Su Shu felt... he might have a thing for blondes.
This was the second time he had been forcibly kissed by a blonde.
This clumsy kissing technique, besides tasting the girl's saliva, Su Shu couldn't feel anything at all.
Rather, having experienced a decade of intense battles with the witch, he looked down on such a bratty little devil's techniques.
Alright.
If you're going to attack me with your tongue, then don't blame me for attacking you.
Su Shu wiped the saliva from his lips and said in a low voice.
"I like them big."
BOOM—
Reines was struck by lightning.
Beside them, Gray-chan, who had finished devouring the lunch box, subconsciously glanced at her own chest.
Win!
A complete victory!
"You!"
The golden-haired girl grabbed Su Shu's face in shame and anger.
"Don't underestimate the power of magic! My future is still very promising!"
"I... I want to kiss too!" Gray belatedly leaned in. "Master..."
BANG—!
The door to the hospital room was kicked open by a black-haired man with a furious expression.
"FBI, everyone get out!"
Grandma's.
Are you here to visit a patient, or to drain his essence?
Having received the news that Su Shu had finally woken up...
Waver, who had finished his afternoon classes, pushed aside his evening overtime and rushed over immediately.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw his adopted sister and his disciple using their tongues to assault his top disciple!
"Shu is sick, you guys need to get a grip..."
Grabbing a blonde in one hand and a silver-haired girl in the other, he threw them into the hallway.
Waver skillfully repaired the lock with magic and locked the door with a click.
He pulled over a chair, sighed deeply, and sat down by Su Shu's bed.
"I've caused you trouble, Shu."
Su Shu smiled.
"What trouble... they were indeed taking care of me. It's very energizing, Teacher."
"Tsk~ no need for such headache-inducing pleasantries. Gray is one thing, but do you think I don't know what Reines is like? Whatever... the important thing is, why were you unconscious for three whole days? What happened..."
Waver took out a cigar from his pocket, tapped it, and subconsciously lit it, preparing to smoke.
He dazedly remembered where he was and quickly extinguished it.
"Sorry, habit..."
"I had a very long dream, Teacher."
"A dream?"
"Yes, a dream."
Su Shu turned his head and, through the window lattice of the hospital room, looked at the setting sun on the London horizon.
The brilliant clouds on the horizon seemed to be burning.
"I dreamed... that I was the Calamitous Son of the White Dragon."
In the empty facility hall...
A slowly rotating, azure planetary model stood.
In the conference room...
The red-haired girl had finished detailing all her experiences in the Lostbelt, leaving everyone present in silence.
"To think such a thing happened..."
Romani Archaman's expression was grave.
When Ritsuka entered Londinium, their communication had been cut off by a high concentration of magical energy.
So, only now did the entire Chaldea finally learn what had happened in the Singularity.
The moment the Silver Arm lit up...
Fujimaru Ritsuka instantly realized that from the very beginning, she had fallen into a trap set by the Counter Force.
The Counter Force had deliberately sent them to that battlefield.
Because the Counter Force didn't trust Chaldea, the saviors of the Human Order, at all.
Or rather, besides its own judgment, It didn't trust anyone.
Whether they were Grands or Masters...
They were all just tools.
If not for Alwin's kindness, Fujimaru Ritsuka knew that she and Mash would never have made it back alive.
The thing they were supposed to protect had betrayed them.
The enemy they were supposed to kill had shown them mercy.
This...
Made Fujimaru Ritsuka feel disillusioned.
"The thing we are protecting, what exactly is it... Doctor?"
Dr. Roman's expression was complex.
Beside him, Da Vinci was also silent.
"So, Ritsuka, are you going to break with the Human Order?"
Dr. Roman sighed.
"No matter what choice you make, we will understand and support you. Now, the Londinium Singularity... has been resolved in that way. However, the Jerusalem Singularity is still burning. What do you plan to do next?"
"Let's first... think about how to solve it. Now that we know the cause and effect, we might be able to persuade that Knight King."
The red-haired girl looked up.
Her detached face was expressionless.
"The reason to keep going, besides the Human Order... is also because I want to meet Goetia. I plan to... talk with Him."
Inside Chaldea, the Heroic Spirit summoning system named FATE was glowing faintly.
The red-haired girl, with a resolute expression, walked into the magic circle carrying a large pile of Holy Grails and Saint Quartz. This was all the resources she had accumulated so far.
"Are you sure, Ritsuka?"
Dr. Roman looked at the red-haired girl nervously.
"You're going to bet everything on summoning that person..."
"That's right... he's the King of Cinder who pierced the Inner Sea of the Planet! It's impossible for him not to be on the Throne of Heroes! With his help, our Chaldea can definitely reach Goetia!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka had found the key to solving the problem.
"And... we now know that the dark loser—that King Arthur—is trying to prune history to perpetuate her time with Alwin! If we want to correct the Jerusalem Singularity, Alwin's help is also necessary!"
"Alright, then go for it. We trust your judgment!"
"Britain, Arthurian Legend, White Dragon, Witch, Sacrifice, King..."
Diligently anchoring all the keywords that could point to Alwin, the red-haired girl activated the summoning—
★★★!
★★!
★★★★!
Flashes of light appeared one after another, but after trying hundreds of times, Fujimaru Ritsuka still hadn't gotten the man she wanted.
"Mash! Give me maximum power!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have turned into a chibi version of herself, piling up the stored Saint Quartz on the magic circle like it was free.
"That's not good, Senpai! The summoning system can't handle such a large amount!"
"I don't care! I just want Alwin!"
Her face flushed with a fanatical fervor, Gudako launched the strongest summon.
"Answer my call! Alwin!"
"GIVE ME THE RATE-UP, DAMN IT—!!!"
BOOM!
★★★★★!
A deep, dark light that seemed to suck in one's soul shot up from the summoning system's magic circle!
Under the incredibly excited and thrilled gazes of everyone...
The figure of a silver-haired young man with a crown of thorns on his head gradually took form in the light—
"Great! It's Al...!"
Before the words were finished...
A lazy, somewhat teasing voice came from the silver-haired young man's figure.
"What's the situation here...?
"Why is this happening...?
"I was still sleeping, how did I end up in this weird place...?
"Tsk, what a disgusting feeling...
"Whatever, since I've been summoned, let's just reluctantly get to know each other."
The Chaldea party stared blankly at the silver-haired, large moth with insect wings before them.
"—WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!!!"
Author's Final Note:
"Gray-chan. I suddenly realized you're pretty cute too. Why don't we both get on..."
