Abnormal Moon

Why does everyone who sees her assume she's having an affair with Roy?

"The clothes are pretty good too!"

Aozaki Touko pointed to her maid outfit and praised it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked down and suddenly realized.

It's probably normal for people to misunderstand you when you wear this kind of clothes.

"Where's what I want?"

Roy sat down at the table, his eager gaze fixed on Orange.

"You're really impatient, you know that? I won't come back until I find it."

Aozaki Touko shrugged and shifted the position of her crossed legs.

As she spoke, Orange pulled out a wooden box from somewhere and handed it over.

"take it."

Roy suppressed his excitement and opened the wooden box.

Inside was a black iron block with mottled patterns, which gave it a sense of history at a glance, but it was kept very clean.

"Thanks, Orange!"

Roy stroked the threaded iron block, which was only the size of a thumb, with a very satisfied smile on his face.

"A sincere offer of two hundred million US dollars."

Orange smiled and extended her hand.

"Two hundred million... how about I just give you my Demon Eye?"

Roy was deeply shocked by the price and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Hahaha, who would dare use your magic eye!"

Aozaki Touko laughed out loud in a very straightforward manner.

"But I'm serious about the $200 million price tag. Things passed down from the Age of Gods are worth at least as much as this. You have no idea how many places I've traveled to find this thing."

"When I got home, they wouldn't even let me have a sip of tea. Sigh, these young people nowadays, really..."

"Shiyu, go pour the tea."

"Yes."

"Hey, at least pour me some tea yourself to show your gratitude, right?"

"How about I cook you a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"

"That's okay too."

"Dream on. Even if I knew how to make it, there are no materials available in this day and age."

Roy laughed out loud.

Kasumigaoka Utaha came out of the kitchen carrying a glass of water and glanced at Roy in surprise.

"It's better than anything that you're so happy."

Aozaki Touko straightened up, stretched her back, and her impressive body curves were on full display.

"I'm going to take a shower first. I've been out and about for so long, I feel like I'm going to stink."

Aozaki Touko noticed Kasumigaoka Utaha, smiled gently at her, pointed at Roy, and then left the living room.

Shi Yu paused for a moment, then nodded and placed the plain water in front of Luo Yi.

"Lord Roy, you seem to be having a great time today."

"Have it?"

Upon hearing this, Roy seemed surprised.

"Have I been smiling insincerely all this time?"

"No, it's not fake..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed unsure of what to say, and she hesitated for a long time.

"Lord Roy usually smiles, but his smile today is different. I don't know why, but his usual smiles feel a bit... empty to me. That kind of smile should be commonplace for Lord Roy, a very ordinary and gentle smile. Today's smile is a smile that shows he is happy."

Shi Yu truly lives up to her reputation as a novelist; her language skills are exceptional.

Roy understood what she meant immediately.

In other words, based on Roy's smile today and his usual smile, Shiyu believes that he is truly smiling happily today.

Previously, it was a task-like smile, not fake, but seemingly hiding something.

"My cultivation is still insufficient."

Roy muttered to himself.

"what?"

"No, it's nothing."

Roy shook his head, looking at Shiyu who had a puzzled expression.

"Shiyu, which do you prefer, my smile today or my usual smile?"

"I like?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was caught off guard by his question, her face flushed, and she instinctively reached up to brush the hair behind her ear to cover her cheek.

"If I had to say, it would be today's smile... Actually, I don't dislike your smiles from the past either."

She wanted to say without hesitation that she preferred the genuine laughter she saw today.

But the moment the words left her mouth, she suddenly remembered when he comforted her yesterday, with the same gentle smile as always, and almost instinctively added the last sentence.

"That's it."

Roy seemed to be deep in thought.

Seeing his silence, Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief and calmed the heat on her face.

While Aozaki Touko was taking a bath, Roy went into the kitchen and began preparing dinner.

Of course, we can't prepare a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast, but to thank Orange, we can still arrange ten or eight good dishes.

Hayasaka Ai and Kasumigaoka Utaha were helping out from the side.

Not many people in the city knew about the attack by the corrupted Servants that afternoon. People were still immersed in the hard-won peace, but this illusion could be torn apart at any moment.

At dinner, everyone at the table, especially Aozaki Touko, enjoyed their meal immensely.

After dinner, the two girls cleared away the dishes.

Aozaki Touko ran into the corridor, lit a cigarette, and looked quite content.

Roy then took the threaded iron block and went into the warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with various items used for cleaning farmhouses, and at the bottom was a large mat, the kind used in school physical education classes more than ten years ago.

Roy inscribed runes on his hands, pushed the mat and the clutter on it aside, and then stood there catching his breath for a while.

Beneath the cushion, on the ground, lies a magic circle, its origins unknown.

It looks like it's been around for quite a few years; even with the padding covering it, the grooves in the array are covered in dust.

"Round Two, let's begin!"

Roy took a deep breath, placed the spiral iron block into the magic circle, and raised his hand, engraved with a Command Seal, toward the magic circle.

"Declaration——"

He chanted the summoning incantation aloud for the second time.

As the incantation was recited step by step, the magic circle gradually shone with magical light, and a dazzling white light shone out from the circle, illuminating the entire warehouse.

Outside, Aozaki Touko, standing in the corridor, cast her gaze toward the warehouse that was radiating light.

"Will it succeed?"

Normally, it would be impossible to succeed.

A Master can only have one Servant; this is an ironclad rule established by the Greater Grail.

This is not only a rule for the sake of fairness, but also to protect the Master, as a normal Master simply cannot bear the pressure brought by multiple Servants.

But Roy is different.

He possesses a pair of demonic eyes that can control all spells—the Demonic Eyes of the Reverse Moon!

He had secretly altered the mechanics of the Greater Grail, making it possible for him to control two Servants simultaneously.

With a hum, the light in the magic circle dimmed, and the gale dissipated.

A figure appeared in the magic circle.

"Hmm, I see. So it's Rider's Spirit Origin this time? Oh dear, what a pity. If it were Caster, we would have been set!"
