A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

"Your Majesty, do you know what's going on?"

Why don't you ask the magical conch shell?

Shirou glanced at Unit-01, which was berserking on the TV screen, and then turned his gaze back to the "Gorgon Stone" in his hand.

At that moment, the maid Karen came over with a cup of red tea and explained to Liliana.

"That purple robot is the main character's mother."

"what?"

Liliana was stunned.

Just as Liliana was about to ask something, the doorbell rang.

ding dong...

The maid, Karen, hurried to the door.

"Huh? Who are you...?"

"Ah, um... I'd like to see Orihara 'King'..."

It was a somewhat timid girl's voice, and since she mentioned him, Shirou naturally looked over in that direction.

The girl with her head bowed respectfully was none other than the 'Hime-shrine Maiden' Yuri Mariya, whom she had met just yesterday.

"Let her in," Shirou said to Karen, the maid standing at the door.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the instruction, Karen immediately made way for Yuri.

However, after entering the living room, Yuri Mariya noticed that the three witches from abroad were also staring at her with wary eyes, which made Yuri swallow hard.

Actually, she had already guessed that this would be the end result before she even came.

Because the three women beside this "king" were all extremely famous in Europe, as his subjects, they would naturally be wary of others who wanted to compete with them for their position.

Yuri couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

However, she felt more at ease staying by the side of this powerful "Demon King" than being used as a sacrifice in the ritual to summon the "Disobedient God" by Marquis Voban.

Judging from the fact that she was released yesterday, this "king" has no ill intentions towards her and has no intention of using her to perform a ritual to summon the "disobedient god".

Chapter Sixty-Nine: I was severely bullied

"Karen, make yourself a cup of tea."

Shirou gave the instructions.

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Karen, who was busy in the kitchen, immediately ran out and agreed.

Then, she looked at Yuri.

"Um, Miss Wanli Valley, what would you like to drink? Coffee or black tea?"

"Black tea, please... thank you." Yuri bowed slightly to the maid, her manners full of politeness.

Then, Yuri, sitting on the single sofa next to him, awkwardly crossed her hands on her knees.

"The Official History Compilation Committee sent you, didn't they?" Shirou immediately guessed the reason when he saw the girl's nervous appearance.

"Ah... um." Yuri hesitated for a few seconds, then finally nodded.

.

"Since you're here today, why don't you take a look at this for me?"

Shirou didn't let the girl sit there alone and get nervous. Instead, he took out the "Gorgon Stone" and placed it on the coffee table in front of Yuri.

"This is...!?" Yuri stared at the object for only a few seconds, looking at the obsidian-like medal and the image of the Gorgon engraved on it, and felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

"How's it going? Did you see anything?"

Seeing the 'priestess' in this state, Shirou immediately understood what she had seen from the 'Gorgon Stone', so he asked her about it.

"There is a very ancient divine seal on it, the mark of the serpent god... the mark of the great serpent... no, it is even more fundamental, a spiral engraving around Mother Earth."

Yuri squinted, picked up the "Gorgon Stone" placed on the coffee table, and examined it carefully, not missing any detail.

"This is just my personal intuition. This medal might be related to some artifact unearthed in North Africa, like Egypt or Algeria... I just feel like it reminds me of places like those."

Yuri, who had activated her spiritual vision, exclaimed in amazement upon sensing the divine aura contained within the "Gorgon Stone".

"This thing is called the 'Gorgon Stone,' and it seems to be a divine artifact related to Athena," Shirou explained to the girl regarding her question about the item.

“The Gorgon Stone… such a divine object actually exists…”

Yuri's eyes widened as she looked at the obsidian medal in her hand, her expression showing surprise.

Suddenly, Yu remembered the words spoken by Saya-miya Kaoru, the head of the Tokyo branch of the Official History Compilation Committee, when he came to find him that morning.

Saya Miyako guessed that after defeating Marquis Voban, this "King" neither intended to summon the "Disobedient God" nor to leave immediately, as if something was attracting him to stay here.

Looking back now, it's highly likely that it was because of this 'Gorgon Stone' that possessed divine attributes!

Judging from this situation, the King's next target should be Athena, the "disobedient goddess".

The girl's expression immediately became somewhat tense upon thinking about this.

If the 'disobedient god' and the 'demon king' were to clash in Japan, the resulting calamity would be unpredictable.

“Your Majesty, do you intend to invite a ‘disobedient god’ into Tokyo? Have you considered the safety of the local residents?

Before Yuri Mariya could finish speaking, she immediately stopped, because she suddenly remembered that when the "King" fought Marquis Voban yesterday, he seemed to have no regard for the easily destroyed surroundings. Her advice might not only be ineffective, but might even provoke the "King's" displeasure.

However, little did the girl know that the extent of the destruction yesterday was already more than merciful; if the fighting had been unleashed, the island would have sunk long ago.

Although Marquis Voban also possesses the power to manipulate global weather, "Gale and Rage," even if the range were expanded globally, it wouldn't have much impact on the battle and would only waste a lot of magical energy. Marquis Voban isn't that foolish.

The battle between god-slayers requires inflicting effective damage on the enemy in front of them, rather than recklessly wasting magical power on meaningless things like destroying continents or cities.

"My lord, I beg you, do not involve the innocent civilians of the city..."

Yuri suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Shirou.

However, Erica looked at Yuri with displeasure at this moment.

"You think you can interfere with the 'King's' will? You're being far too naive! Do you think the guys from the [Official History Compilation Committee] sent you here for this very purpose?"

Erica herself had also had the idea of ​​interfering with the King's will, but she later realized that such thoughts could not be hidden from the King's eyes at all and would only put her in a dangerous situation. So, after she realized Yuri's intentions, she quickly spoke up.

"I……"

Erica's aggressive manner made Yuri tremble slightly, and her eyes involuntarily reddened with grievance.

Yuri, who had been scolded, looked up at the beautiful girl with long golden hair.

She wore a black short-sleeved shirt with a red cardigan draped over it, and a red short skirt underneath, revealing a pair of long, slender, and fair legs that seemed to reflect light.

The girl's gorgeous aura was outstanding, and her haughty demeanor even made Yuri feel inferior.

However, Yuri is a high-ranking priestess who protects the spiritualist group in the Kanto region. She belongs to the rare high-ranking priestess 'Himouto' shrine maiden' rank. Not only is she no less beautiful than Erica or Liliana, but she also tries her best not to be inferior in terms of aura.

If Yuri were to be overshadowed by the knight princesses beside the "King" right from the start, she could imagine how much exclusion she would face in the future, so she absolutely could not show weakness like that.

Erica

"Sister, please watch your manners. Does this mean that as a knight princess, you can now freely interrupt the conversation between the 'King' and me?"

Although she felt awe towards the "King" and was very reserved in her speech, Yuri felt confident when facing Erica, the Knight Princess.

"Heh, you've become a little more assertive, not like the pathetic dog you were yesterday."

Erica smiled nonchalantly, easily neutralizing Yuri's counterattack.

"you……!!"

Yuri was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Just then, Princess Alice came out of the bedroom and spoke to Erica.

"Alright, Erica, stop bullying 'King's' guest."

Chapter Seventy Athena: I've found you!

That gentle voice seemed to soothe the soul. Yuri cast a grateful glance at the blonde white woman who was superior to every girl in the room in terms of appearance, figure, and even temperament.

Yuri felt that Princess Alice, the most powerful witch in Europe, had an indescribable mature charm. Standing next to the "King," she gave off an aura that made her the rightful queen, overshadowing all others.

Watching the subtle power struggles among the girls, Shirou found it quite amusing. He glanced at Princess Alice, who had gracefully sat down beside him. Her demeanor at night was completely different from her gentle and mature appearance now.

If I had to describe it, it would be like a flower that remains shy even after being picked.

Alice seemed to notice the flirtatious look in Shirou's eyes, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She turned her face away, not wanting to show any embarrassment in front of everyone, otherwise the image of the main wife that she had worked so hard to establish would be diminished.

Stopping his bullying of her, Shirou turned his gaze to Yuri Mariya on the other side.

"So, Wanli Valley, have you obtained anything more regarding the 'Gorgon Stone'?"

So far, the information that this 'female priestess' has obtained from the 'Gorgon Stone' has basically matched the information that Alice has perceived through her spiritual vision.

“You can just call me Yuri,” Yuri quickly said to Shirou.

Then, she picked up the obsidian-colored "Gorgon Stone" in her hand and spoke with a slight frown.

"Well... with my spiritual vision, through the connection between the 'Gorgon Stone' and that deity, I can barely sense that this goddess is Gorgon... the serpent's enemy. Even someone like me can sense that the goddess's command is Athena."

"Is that so?"

Shirou nodded.

From this perspective, Princess Alice, who could sense Athena approaching, was undoubtedly stronger than Yuri Mariya in terms of spiritual power.

"Athena..."

Suddenly, Alice, who was sitting to Shirou's right, reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Shirou turned to look at her.

The beautiful blonde woman, with a touch of maturity, had a hint of nervousness on her fair face.

"My spiritual vision has given me feedback... that goddess is very close to us."

"Is it finally here?" Shirou murmured to himself, then stood up.
