"Satisfied, satisfied~"
In a great mood, Akatsuki sat next to Tohsaka Rin with a beaming smile, while Tohsaka Rin's flushed face formed a sharp contrast with Akatsuki's.
Shirou Emiya looked at the slap mark on Akatsuki's face and Tohsaka Rin's slightly swollen lips; he seemed to realize something at once.
"In any case, I'll take you to see someone next. He will answer your questions about the Holy Grail War in detail."
Outside Fuyuki Church.
"Why do I have an urge to tear this building down?"
Looking at the church standing in the night, Akatsuki suddenly felt a bit irritable. Perhaps it was because she was slightly tired today, causing her mental strength to suppress the bloodlust to slacken slightly.
"You guys go in. Saber and I will wait outside the door."
Tohsaka Rin didn't even look at Akatsuki as she led Shirou Emiya into Fuyuki Church.
"Still angry? How cute."
Saber looked at Akatsuki with some confusion. Although she had some misunderstandings with Akatsuki before, they had been resolved now. Moreover, being on bad terms with such a powerful existence like Akatsuki was very disadvantageous for the Holy Grail War.
"If you have something to ask, just ask."
As if seeing through Saber's thoughts, Akatsuki leaned against the outer wall of the church, looking at the moon in the sky expressionlessly.
"What exactly did you do during the time you and Tohsaka Rin left? Why do I feel like Tohsaka Rin has become a bit strange?"
Akatsuki paused, looked Saber up and down carefully, and finally left a sentence: "Kids shouldn't pry into adults' business."
"What do you mean by that, Akatsuki? I feel like you're looking down on me!"
"If that's what you think, then so be it."
Artoria Pendragon, the existence who hid her gender to become the Dragon of Britain. Her queen, Guinevere, fully understood her ideals, but in the end, she was cuckolded by Lancelot.
Furthermore, her sister Morgan le Fay, in order to defeat her, used gender-swapping magecraft to change her gender, then used her blood and essence combined with her own blood to create the Homunculus Mordred.
To be honest, after coming into contact with her, Akatsuki felt a bit disinterested in this king who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, lacking humanity and resembling an ideal ruler.
Whether it was Matou Sakura, Tohsaka Rin, or Illya, their hearts all had some dark side more or less. Making them indulge in their dark sides while turning them into her own exclusive people—that was what Akatsuki wanted to do.
However, while Artoria was indeed outstanding enough as a king, she was still somewhat lacking as a person.
"It's about time."
Akatsuki had already smelled Berserker's scent in the distance. Looking at Saber's expression, Akatsuki knew she also vaguely felt the approaching danger.
Whether it was Saber or Tohsaka Rin, their consumption tonight was indeed a bit much. If Berserker was left alone, these two Magicians might have to exit early tonight.
"Big sister, could you please move aside?"
"I'm so sorry. If I let you pass now, they'll be wiped out. So, this path is closed!"
On the road some distance from Fuyuki Church, Akatsuki blocked the cheerful Illya and gave what she thought was a bright smile.
"So cute. As expected, people live for Illya!"
White hair and red eyes—a critical hit for Chinese people!
"Is that so..."
Illya's expression turned completely cold. "Then crawl back to your underground! Berserker!"
The massive Berserker behind Illya deactivated his spirit form. The crimson giant stared intently at Akatsuki, holding a giant sword like a knight guarding a princess, wanting to kill anyone unfavorable to her.
"Kill her!"
Illya gave the order, and Berserker swung his giant sword towards Akatsuki. The giant sword, longer than Akatsuki herself, descended from the sky, bringing her great psychological pressure, though she did not dodge.
Instead, she raised her right hand.
Boom!
A dull sound echoed as Akatsuki caught Berserker's giant sword with one hand. The previously flat road was now falling apart, and the ground for a dozen meters around Akatsuki was shattered by this immense force.
"Berserker! What are you doing? Hurry up and crush her into mincemeat!"
Berserker tried to pull the giant sword out, but Akatsuki gripped the blade tightly, blood flowing down her snow-white arm.
After several attempts, Berserker still couldn't pull the sword out, so he gave up on that plan and raised his foot to kick Akatsuki in the head.
Akatsuki's eyes turned cold. She was going to use her full strength; even if she killed Berserker once now, it wouldn't have much impact on the future plot.
In the next moment, flesh and blood flew as Berserker's body was sent flying back in an extremely strange manner.
"As expected of the great hero from Ancient Greek mythology."
With a leap, Akatsuki arrived directly behind Illya, and a cold Black Key was placed against Illya's slender neck.
Her speed was very fast—so fast that before Illya could react, the cold sensation had already appeared on her neck.
"Eh?"
The battle ended quickly, but the result was far from what Illya had imagined. She originally thought Akatsuki and Berserker would be evenly matched at best, but she never expected Akatsuki to actually insta-kill Berserker.
A mere Vampire couldn't possibly have the strength to insta-kill a Servant of Berserker's level, unless she was of a race higher than Vampires.
Illya didn't know much about Vampires and Dead Apostles, but she knew that the strength Akatsuki displayed was not something a Vampire should have.
"Princess of the Einzbern Family, you should know how easy it would be for me to kill you right now."
"What do you want to say?"
"Your sense of ethics is too weak."
Akatsuki said something that confused Illya. Illya looked back with some doubt at Akatsuki, who had the same pupils as her.
Illya, who had always stayed inside the Einzbern Family castle, was simple and innocent, but at the same time, her sense of ethics was very weak.
She had no resistance to the act of killing.
This made Akatsuki lose the chance to appreciate the terrified expression Illya would show after killing someone, but the white hair and red eyes had already made up for most of the shortcomings.
But there was no helping it; after all, there weren't many normal people in the Einzbern Family. After the Fourth Holy Grail War ended, normal people disappeared from the Einzbern Family.
However, more important than those things was that she was a legal loli!
What could be more exciting than a legal loli? If there was, it must be a white-haired, red-eyed legal loli!
"Sense of ethics?"
"Yes, sense of ethics." Sheathing the Black Key, Akatsuki glanced at the fully resurrected Berserker, then grinned at Illya. "I don't kill lolis. Take Berserker and leave; tonight is not suitable for fighting."
