In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

After all, this woman's skill in being shameless is absolutely top-notch.

"Um...won't we come in and have a seat?" Ushiwakamaru asked Luo Wei.

Mary was too exhausted to entertain them, so Rowe gestured for the three of them to come in, saying, "Please come in."

The group gathered around a table and set out drinks. Because Lovi was afraid that Meli would continue to add a bunch of computer parts to his computer and cause trouble, he went to ask Siduri for some food. Upon hearing that the Heroic Spirits had gathered together, Siduri was very happy and hurriedly sent someone to deliver Sumerian delicacies, as well as a large cake that was originally intended to be offered to Gilgamesh.

Then everyone sat down together, first taking a few sips of Uruk's yellow wine, and then introducing themselves to each other.

Upon learning that Loewe was a living being, a Master, and a godlike being, the Heroic Spirits were greatly surprised. At the same time, they recalled the crimson hand that had suddenly appeared, and their eyes filled with awe. However, they actually took Merry's words seriously and regarded them as a couple with a strange way of getting along.

Just as Anna was being introduced, Musashibo, who had been drinking the whole time, and Leonidas began to react: "Medusa, Anna..."

The two of them looked thoughtful.

Seeing this, Ushiwakamaru asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Leonidas shook his head and said, "No, it's because my ancestors were related to Perseus, so I'm familiar with the name Medusa."

Anna: "..."

Hearing Leonidas mention that name she could never forget for lifetimes, Anna unconsciously gripped the scythe.

"—"

In response, Meryl and Rowe also felt that he seemed to be too straightforward, and bringing up that name in front of Medusa was just asking for trouble.

However, Rowe reached out and pressed Anna's head down to calm her down. Leonidas hadn't done it on purpose, and the matter was considered closed out because of Rowe and Leonidas's apology.

Musashibo's answer was quite interesting. His connection with Anna dates back to the earliest times. He vaguely remembered being summoned to a singularity where King Arthur, wielding the Holy Grail, corrupted him. Medusa was one of the people corrupted there, but he couldn't quite recall the name of the city.

"Fuyuki City."

Luo Wei answered him without even thinking.

"Yes, yes, that's it. How did you know, Lord Rowe...?"

Musashibo belatedly realized what was happening and looked at Luo Wei, asking him a question.

"Because I actually have a significant connection with Fuyuki City; I was the Master of a certain Holy Grail War," Lovi explained.

“I see… Oh right, you’re a Master.” Musashibou nodded, then looked at Anna again, saying thoughtfully, “Could you be the one from that time…”

"Yes, that was me, but not in this particular state. I vaguely remember that memory." Anna held the milk that Rowe had just poured for her, nodded gently, and admitted it directly.

"Haha, you two have such a relationship? Isn't that too perfect?"

Upon hearing this, Ushiwakamaru pointed at Musashibo and Anna and said with a smile, "It's amazing that we can meet again in both singularities."

"Yes, it's just a temporary illusion."

Anna and Musashibo shook their heads. The experience of being corrupted and controlled by the Holy Grail and forced to do bad things was truly unpleasant.

However, that Cú Chulainn was really strong back then, you could even say he was ridiculously strong.

Incredibly, she quickly dealt with the corrupted Musashi and Hercules. As for Musashi, she was just a nobody. She remembered that when Cú Chulainn used an AoE attack, Musashi disappeared without even finishing her lines. This experience probably terrified Musashi for a long time.

As he listened to the two discussing C-rank Dog Bro, Luo Wei silently took a sip of his drink, a vague guess forming in his mind.

He also vaguely remembered that, in addition to the many Servants in FSN who had turned evil, there was Musashibo among the Shadow Servants in the Fuyuki City Singularity. He replaced Cú Chulainn as Lancer, while Dog was existing as Caster at that time.

In his previous life, he had read an analysis on a forum that suggested C-class Cu Chulainn couldn't be summoned purely; Cu Chulainn was too deeply bound to the Demon Lance, and the Demon Lance existed regardless of class. If Caster-class Cu Chulainn were summoned, it meant something was definitely involved, and Cu Chulainn's runes were connected to—the Norse god Odin.

Back in the Fourth Shinobi World War, he intended to summon Dog Brother because he remembered Dog Brother's godlike performance in the prologue, where he single-handedly defeated Hercules, Medusa, and Emiya, and wielded the Holy Grail as King Arthur. However, the response was Scáthach, so he didn't know whether Caster Dog Brother was actually Odin.

As everyone chimed in with their own comments, the atmosphere quickly became lively. Lo Wei didn't mention the speculations about Dog Brother and Odin, since it was all in the past. If you really had to put it in perspective, it was Dog Brother who helped Medusa and Musashibo escape their predicament.

"If Cú Chulainn were to come and help, this war would surely be much easier."

Upon hearing Musashibo and Anna's account of how a dog, accompanied by two inexperienced girls, single-handedly defeated Cú Chulainn, a Caster-class Holy Grail War warrior, Ushiwakamaru and Leonidas couldn't help but sigh in admiration, expressing their awe at the power of that Child of Light. After all, Hercules alone was enough to overwhelm both of them, let alone defeating multiple opponents at once.

"Anyway, it's definitely better than Merlin," Merlin replied with a smile. "After all, that guy is always lazy and doesn't do anything productive, right?"

"Haha, is that how Ms. Merlin describes her brother? Well, Merlin would cry then..." Ushiwakamaru burst into laughter upon hearing Merlin's assessment of him.

"It's his own fault for making a fool of himself, yet he always watches me like a thief, afraid that I'll do something dangerous."

"He probably cares about you."

Mary: "Concerned about me? Ha... He doesn't have that kind of feeling."

Listening to their conversation, Rowe also learned that Merlin was operating here, claiming to be Merlin's sister.

After all, the two were of the same race, and even their appearance and hair color were very similar, so no one suspected anything.

But when he heard it, it just felt weird.

So they're treating each other like their own little sisters? These two nightmares are quite the players...

Later, Ushiwakamaru asked about Meryl and Rowe's past, especially their racial differences, and whether there were any problems.

Then, Mary confidently declared: "As long as it's true love, racial differences are no problem, and this guy's almost dead anyway, so lifespan theory doesn't apply to them. Therefore, they're a perfect match," and then happily received a "flying package" from Loewy.

They acted up for a while before calming down.

However, this guy started getting emotional again and answered the question again.

"My relationship with him was a tragic one. No matter which version of me I am, I would change whenever I met him. It was a complete waste of my life."

Mei glanced at Luo Wei, then added with a heavy heart, "Every version of me becomes unlike myself. For me, as long as I'm happy, that's enough. Everything else is meaningless. But it's turned out like this, I actually have attachments, and I truly understand what liking someone means..."

"..."

Ushiwakamaru found this strange and asked, "Then, Ms. Meryl, do you feel any regret?"

"No way! I'm just so lucky to have understood love and to have someone I love. This means I'll never be bored!" Mary downed her wine in one gulp, then raised her glass and said with a smile, "Let's all have a drink to fight for humanity!"

Hearing that they were fighting for justice, all the heroic spirits present, except for Anna, stood up and raised their glasses.

Anna said, "I hate humans, so I'm not fighting for them."

"It's alright, no need to force us, let's drink."

Meryl said with a smile, "It's clear that she's much better at engaging people than Merlin."

Lo Wei and the others raised their glasses and clinked them together lightly before drinking them down in one gulp.

Because it was a rare break, the banquet lasted until late into the night. Apart from Ushiwakamaru, who could drink eighteen large bowls of wine like Wu Song and still keep drinking, everyone else was a little too tired to keep up. Even Leonidas fell into a deep sleep.

After all that fooling around, Luo Wei lost his will to sleep. He went up to the roof with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sparsely starry sky above.

As the evening breeze blew by, I felt an immense sense of coolness.

Although he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and hadn't used his constitution to purify himself, leaving him slightly tipsy, his consciousness and mind were still exceptionally clear. He opened his arms, looked up at the dark night sky and the full moon above, and his mind was filled with countless thoughts.

However, just as he was about to lie down and sleep until the next day, he heard a familiar voice.

"Oh dear, aren't you afraid of catching a cold sleeping here? Besides, a stiff neck can be really uncomfortable~"

"Mind your own business. Why are you looking for me here in the middle of the night instead of resting?"

Merry: "Nightmare doesn't need rest. I prefer to stay by your side rather than lie in bed."

Upon hearing this, Lowe did not turn around and remained lying on the roof, letting Meryl walk to his side, reach out and lift his head to rest on her soft knees.

"That should make you feel much better, right?"

Lowe replied, "Yes, but it probably wouldn't be very comfortable for you, would it?"

Hearing this, Mary smiled, then lowered her head to meet Rowe's eyes: "It's okay, as long as you're comfortable, I'll be comfortable too, right?"

"How cheesy..."

"Hmph, the only way to deal with someone like you is to be straightforward, isn't it? After all, you're just a blockhead."

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei paused for a moment, then closed his eyes and whispered, "A straight shot won't work either."

"Is that not possible? How about this then..."

Mary gave a strange smile, leaned down and gently kissed Rowe's forehead, but this time Rowe didn't launch her.

"Huh? You're not going to hit me?"

This unusual situation struck Mary as odd; she was prepared to be launched away by Rowe and then run back to be with him again.

"It's no longer necessary."

Faced with Meryl's question, Lowe opened his eyes and looked at the brilliant night sky, then said softly, "I resisted you before because I felt you were making fun of me about this, and also because I've always had a lot of prejudice against you. Now..."

"No more prejudice?"

"No, it's even bigger."

"Then why...?" Mary tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

“Prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain, very difficult to move directly.” Luo Wei shook his head and continued, “However, my opinion of you has changed a bit. Before, I thought you were just using me for fun, as a second toy, but when I saw that you actually came from all over the world to help me, I was actually quite moved. Anyway…”

"Although my prejudice against you hasn't completely disappeared yet, and my feelings for you have only reached the level of friendship, I still want to say to you from the bottom of my heart—thank you, Mary, meeting you is also my good fortune."

"Huh?!?!"

As Lo Wei narrated softly, Mary, who had been in a playful mood, suddenly froze, and something in her chest seemed to pound violently.

"Are you... serious? Do you really consider me a friend?"

She held Luo Wei's face and asked incredulously.

"Of course, I never lie. As long as we can lend a helping hand in times of crisis and care about each other, we are friends."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mary was stunned and remained speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Luo Wei hesitated for a moment, "What's wrong with you now?"

"It's nothing, just thank you, Rowe."

As he heard Mary's gentle voice, Rowe looked up and saw a face filled with emotion.

Luo Wei: "???"

Is this guy sick?
