Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Mashu nodded as well.

So, where did Lancer and Sovereign Kenneth go?

They've been gone since just now...

"Leave Lacner to me. I'm confident I can persuade Lancer and his Master to resolve things in a non-conflictual way. After all, he's not participating in the Holy Grail War to obtain the Holy Grail, and I can guarantee that."

At that moment, the voice of King El-Melloi II came through the communication.

"Kenneth the Monarch—"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized.

The successor to the second monarch should have been very familiar with the previous generation, so if that's the case, then handing him over to El-Melloi is indeed the best solution.

"Tonight's operation is over. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Ritsuka and Miss Mashu."

Although events have deviated significantly from historical fact, we've gathered most of the intelligence. The next task is to coordinate the relationships between the Servants in this Holy Grail War, and then find a way to dismantle the Greater Grail.

"Understood." Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded quickly. "Thank you for your hard work, Master. I still have other work to do... I brought some golden apples from Chaldea to replenish my energy. Please let me know if you need any~~"

"Then I thank you in advance, Master."

It sounds like a well-intentioned gesture.

But El-Melloi II always felt that there was a hidden trap in Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.

It must be my own illusion.

As a detective-like character, El-Melloi possesses exceptional reasoning and intuition, but he unusually provided incorrect information during this Holy Grail War.

This is also where he overlooked something.

They thought that if they experienced something before, they wouldn't experience it too differently if they did it again.

But who could have imagined that Einzbern created the perfect Lesser Grail android ten years ahead of schedule?

In the original timeline, this technology was used on a girl named Illyasviel, and the Einzbern family summoned the extremely powerful Heroic Spirit Hercules in preparation for the Fifth Holy Grail War.

However, they chose the wrong combat strategy.

And because of the actions of a certain person, that Holy Grail War was perfectly resolved.

"Further investigation is needed..."

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Lord El-Melloi looked at the night sky and sighed softly.

"However, I never expected to have the chance to come here again... Even though it's just a dreamlike bubble world, I still want them to have a happy ending..."

"That's really something. Up until now, I haven't made any progress at all—"

"However, now that we've come to this world... it means there's a chance we'll meet again, right..."

"therefore--"

"I can, once again..."

El-Melloi's red robes fluttered gently in the night breeze.

He would never forget the tattered fragment of the cloak, the Holy Grail War, and the imposing figure of the conqueror king.

perhaps--

He must have been won over by the King of Conquerors' charisma.

"Ahhhhhh—"

"I'm exhausted..."

"You have to control your strength while also suppressing your opponent—"

"You can't go this far when you're making things difficult for people!" When Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to the Matou residence, the sky was already turning a pale white.

The Matou family home is very large, with many rooms. After occupying the spiritual vein left behind by Matou Zouken, Fujimaru Ritsuka rationally turned this area into her own domain.

"I want to take a shower, I want to sleep, I want to rest..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's body did indeed transform into a True Ancestor, but she still retained human habits. Moreover, as a Star Spirit, in a sense, the more she dreamed, the closer she became to the fabric of the surface.

Their abilities will continue to improve.

Provided you avoid drifting to some strange place, it's best to get a good night's sleep and rest.

Fujimaru Ritsuka collapsed onto the bed.

She ignored the reports on the old television about the massive gas explosion at the Fuyuki City seaside park, and she also ignored the breaking news that the unknown killer was still at large.

Instead, she angrily drew the curtains tight, leaving the room dimly lit, but with a faint sliver of white light shining through.

Fujimaru Ritsuka threw herself hard onto the bed.

Then, exhausted, I closed my eyes.

Mashu wisely refrained from disturbing Fujimaru Ritsuka and instead went to prepare food. Unlike other worlds, this singularity allowed people to legitimately acquire necessities through trade—that is, to purchase them.

Therefore, Mashu is a very qualified and gentle junior.

However, just as there are sensible girls... there are also sensible fools.

For example——

"Master!"

"Ma~~ster!"

"Honestly, why do you have to sleep at a time like this! Although it's true that sleeping is a kind of decadence, how can you sleep with such a cute Kama-chan here!"

The little girl, with her bare, snow-white feet, bounced on the soft bed, seemingly trying to wake Fujimaru Ritsuka from her sleep.

"Don't make trouble..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's tired voice came through: "Let me sleep for a while, I'll play with you after I wake up... I'm really a little tired right now."

"Who am I playing with? - L Moon Chair Erling II Winged Spirit (Eight) (Two)!"

The petite, white-haired girl instantly became unhappy.

Could it be that...

Does Ritsuka see herself as an unreasonable child?

Is it the kind of silly kid who just wants to play with adults and is very easy to please?

How could such a thing happen!

—I should be the one comforting and pampering people. If it's the other way around now, won't I lose my position as a fallen demon king?

Kamachin's expression darkened.

Although she knew that the matter of a Fallen Master was not so simple, but...

"Isn't it more heartbreaking to be treated like a child and then ignored?"

"Can't you see the charm I possess as the God of Love?!"

Kamachin was very angry.

Mara was very distressed.

She is a goddess who loves all living beings equally, and loves all humankind.

The so-called god of love does not possess the ability to fall in love with a particular person.

However, in this era where humanity has been burned away, she has stubbornly regarded Fujimaru Ritsuka as a proxy for humanity and the planet's intellectual being.

As long as it can corrupt Fujimaru Ritsuka...

Then humanity as a whole would have essentially fallen into depravity.

Even planets can fall into ruin—

She can integrate the entire planet, along with the fabrics on it, into the universe of love within her body.

Then it truly transforms into human evil...

In this way, the Master can be corrupted—

Upon realizing this, Kamachin suddenly discovered a fatal logical paradox.

The fastest way for her to become an adult Beast is to corrupt the current Fujimaru Ritsuka.

However, according to Kama's calculations, if Fujimaru Ritsuka is to fall, she would need to have at least the power of an adult Beast.

"so..."

Kama looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's sleeping face and scratched his hair in frustration.

"What I want now is to become the Beast..."

Or perhaps, it's the fallen love given to Master...

"I don't understand, I really don't understand..."

I don't understand what I want, or what I want to become.

"For a demon king to be troubled by such a thing is truly unbecoming."

Kama muttered something under his breath, then quietly squatted down and lay down.

The white-haired girl exudes a warm aura, making her the perfect "body pillow".

"Well, there's no other way then. Let the warm Demon King grant you happiness in your dreams. I suppose that way, Master will gradually fall into depravity... Eh, oh dear~~!"

Kamachin suddenly screamed, then quickly covered her mouth.

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka, as was her habit, came over and hugged the small girl in her arms.

A gentle breath reached his ear, carrying a reassuring warmth, instantly making little Kama forget his troubles and desires, leaving only his burning cheeks.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's breath swept evenly across Kama's nape, carrying a faint, star-like scent.

Soft strands of hair brushed against her earlobe.

Kama couldn't help but shrink his neck, a blush spreading instantly from the tips of his ears to his chin, even tinging his snow-white neck with a light pink hue.

"This...this is just a tactic!"

Kama closed his eyes, trying to find a reason for himself, his voice barely audible.

"Use my body heat to let Master get used to my presence in his sleep, and when he wakes up, he will unknowingly fall into depravity... Yes, that's it!"

"Once Master gets used to it, he won't be able to sleep well without his adorable Kama-chan!"

The girl said this.

Although he wasn't sleepy as a Servant, Kamachin found himself sinking deeper and deeper into the gentle starlight as he was surrounded by it.

As the sky outside the window gradually brightened, the breathing inside the room slowly synchronized.

The tiny white-haired demon king nestled in his master's arms—

She temporarily forgot about her plan to cause trouble using the Heaven's Cup.

They forgot their duties as the "Demon King of Love".

Lost in this sudden tenderness

I was simply immersed in the embrace and pampering of this star's breath.

Even in my dreams, sweet, warm ripples spread...

Chapter 234 Monster Arrival

The Holy Grail War is back on track.

And so, the days passed by in what could be considered peaceful.

Without Kiritsugu Emiya's active role, the Holy Grail War seems to have lost much of its fun.

For example, if Kiritsugu Emiya participated in the Holy Grail War, it would attract the attention and interest of Kirei Kotomine, who would then be full of enthusiasm to participate in the Holy Grail War.

However, this is a timeline in which Kiritsugu Emiya did not participate in the Holy Grail War.

Consequently, Kirei Kotomine also lost his motivation.

After the initial outbreak of the Holy Grail War, the Tohsaka family fell silent for a time, with Tokiomi Tohsaka remaining secluded like a hibernating bear.
