Chapter 52: Holy Grail Prologue, Encounter with the Brush
Since the death of the kindhearted citizen, Mr. Jin, the "Gauze Hassan," Fuyuki City has enjoyed a long-awaited period of peace. Just as Tōsaka Tokiomi had hoped, the King of Heroes' powerful presence has severely intimidated the scoundrels hiding in the shadows. This undoubtedly reassures Tōsaka Tokiomi, allowing him to fully prepare for the Holy Grail War.
Wang Chong, on the other hand, didn't cause too much trouble. He knew that too much was as bad as too little. If he caused too much trouble, it would probably only make this Joan of Arc realize that the situation was completely out of control and that she had to take drastic measures and reveal her identity. This would have some impact on his plans, making the gains more than the losses.
So, Wang Chong had spent the past few days slowly cultivating Jeanne's affection with Leticia. On weekdays, he'd take Jeanne out for strolls, learning about the local customs and practices. Upon returning, Wang Chong would cook a feast to capture Jeanne's heart. As the saying goes, if you capture a man's stomach, you capture his heart, and this principle applies not only to men but also to women.
As Wang Chong possesses ex-level culinary proficiency, the food he cooked completely captivated the taste buds of Jeanne and Leticia, leaving them savoring the delicious food endlessly. For example, yesterday, they were supposed to eat out for lunch, but Jeanne insisted on dragging them into eating the meal she had cooked.
Wang Chong had some doubts. If Jeanne had already acted this way, would it be a case of a certain foodie, the King of Odd Hair, who would have rebelled and joined his side? Of course, this was just a thought; after all, that kind of thing only appeared in comedy comics.
However, after a few days of hard work, their relationship had already reached the cap of 59. If they wanted to reach the next level, they couldn't do so through daily interactions without experiencing some things or touching each other's hearts. However, Wang Chong wasn't in a rush. The Holy Grail War had only just begun, and there would be plenty of opportunities ahead.
Just thinking about causing that fair saint to develop an irresistible selfish desire, in a way, this can be considered evil and depravity. It's a bit exciting to think about it.
However, because he had been accompanying Jeanne all this time, Wang Chong had not done some things. One was to continue to summon the remaining Rider-class Servants and Berserker-class Servants, and the other was to comfort a frightened wife.
Thinking of Tousaka Aoi's graceful, mature figure, he thought, "Swish—she's quite good! There's so much room for development, a perfect blend of mature charm and youthful sensuality. It's a shame to give such a good wife to Tousaka Tokiomi, a man with a low libido. But it doesn't matter. Wang Chong will let Tousaka Aoi fully experience the "happiness" that Tousaka Tokiomi can't give her.
Even though I haven't been there for a while, maybe leaving it alone for a while will yield even more surprising results. After all, letting someone experience the feeling of being without those things for a while, retreating to advance, is a good way to capture (and corrupt) someone's body and soul. You have to know that Tousaka Aoi is at the peak of her sexual desire. Having suppressed it for so long might have been fine, but now that she's tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, the intense stimulation has completely ignited her, and she can no longer suppress her inner desires as she did before.
Unless Tokiomi can help quench Tohsaka Aoi's thirst, driven by this burning desire, she will only draw closer to Wang Chong. It was Wang Chong who led Tohsaka Aoi to experience this unparalleled pleasure. Coupled with the broken window effect, Tohsaka Aoi's resistance to infidelity will only grow weaker. This is the fundamental reason why there are only zero and countless instances of infidelity.
When the time is right, Wang Chong will go and have a good time with this lonely wife who has been lonely for a long time.
As for the Servants, summoning wasn't a pressing matter for now. But those at home... Stheno and Euryale were fuming. Not at the new arrival, Mordred. But at a certain Master who'd been hanging out and not coming back for champagne. Fortunately, with little Medusa as a punching bag, things didn't get too bad.
Since the first minor friction, Mordred unexpectedly got along well with everyone. In a sense, Mordred actually had quite a talent for socializing, as long as she wasn't so awkward.
As for Sakura Matou, Semiramis had already left home to begin chanting a spell for three days and three nights at Mount Enzo, so she was looking a little lonely. Fortunately, Mordred and Shiki Ryougi were able to get along well with Sakura Matou.
"It seems I have to find a way to keep me here, prevent Jeanne from getting suspicious, and handle other things properly. Now, I can only try my best to become an excellent time management master." Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh.
"The Holy Grail War has officially begun today. The power bred by the Holy Grail is already sufficient, and it's time to begin the first night of the Holy Grail War." Wang Chong looked at the day and knew that the time was almost up.
"If I remember correctly, a certain lady and the Stupid King are also going to make an appearance, right? Humph, I wonder if I can run into these two when I go to the clothing mall today. By the way, I'll buy some for Jeanne and the others at home as well. Just consider it a gift for meeting after a long time. Let's start making plans at the same time." Wang Chong thought to himself.
……
"Eh? Are we going to the clothing mall today?" Joan of Arc asked a little confused.
"Well, buy some clothes. After all, you're about to go to the battlefield, and appropriate clothing can also mislead and deepen the impression of other Masters. Although you have spiritual clothes, Jeanne, you are currently a Master, so it is better to dress like an ordinary person. In addition, I also plan to buy some clothes here as gifts for my family."
"Eh? Wang Chongjun's family?"
"Yeah." Wang Chong nodded. At present, in this world, those servants, as well as Sakura and Koshiki, are indeed like his own family.
After the two entered the mall, Wang Chong began to look around, pretending to be searching for suitable clothing. In reality, Wang Chong was looking for the familiar golden-haired mane and a certain lady who looked like a beautiful woman but had a childlike heart.
Logically speaking, the two figures would have been quite conspicuous. However, he looked around but saw no such figures. Although Jeanne could sense Servants within a certain range, Wang Chong had her temporarily deactivate it. Not only was Jeanne's Sense-Search skill easily detected by a highly intuitive Heroic Spirit like Saber, but more importantly, Wang Chong did not want to be detected while Semiramis was completing the Hanging Gardens.
Jeanne was very obedient and cooperated, as if she were a Servant summoned by him. So there was no need to worry too much about this aspect.
"Huh?" Wang Chong's eyelids jumped when he saw someone walking towards him.
He was a handsome man with a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye that was particularly conspicuous.
"Fuck, two-handed, lucky E, bad luck." Wang Chong couldn't help but complain in his mind. After all, he had originally planned to see two beautiful women, but instead of them, he saw a man. It was like looking at an ad with a bunch of beautiful women, then clicking to download and log in, only to see a handsome man who specializes in seducing women.
"No? According to the Holy Grail rules, Servants can't appear in front of ordinary people, and must become Heroic Spirits to follow their Masters. Remember in the plot, Brush said that he swaggered around the city all day on his first day. You're swaggering among the crowd, right? No wonder no one accepted your invitation to a duel. Who's crazy enough to violate the rules and hold a Holy Grail War in a place with so many ordinary people?"
Wang Chong didn't know how to complain, but Jeanne took his hand and held it tightly.
"Wang Chongjun...the person walking towards me..."
"Well, the Servant is walking among the crowd without any disguise..."
"Could it be..."
"No, he's not coming directly towards us. He's looking around, seemingly searching for a target. He must be just an idiot who's lost himself in a duel." Wang Chong commented bluntly.
"Is that so... Hey, Wang Chong-jun, why did you walk straight towards him?"
"I'll go grab some... ahem, I mean, let's give it a try, maybe we can get something out of it." Wang Chong looked at the lancer who had a problem with his mind. It just so happened that he hadn't collected many villain points recently, only a pitiful 250. Now he had to get some villain points from him to see if he could make it a whole number.
Chapter 53: Can You Really Be Tolerant? Director Ken
At this moment, Diarmait was looking for an opponent who could respond to his duel as requested by his Master, Director Ken. However, he turned around and around but still could not sense the presence of other servants.
But at this moment, Diarmait became aware of being watched, and saw a man walking towards him holding the hand of a blonde girl.
"Two people? Could they be a Master and a Servant? But judging by the way they are holding hands, they look more like a couple... I don't sense any Servant's presence on them... Tsk, could it be that the tear mole is taking effect again? Hmm? But the man doesn't look angry?" For a moment, after seeing the man coming, Diarmait thought a lot. When the man walked in front of him and looked at him with a smile, Diarmait didn't know why, he felt like a hunter staring at his prey.
"Is there something wrong?" Diarmuid asked with a frown, seeing the other party blocking his way.
"Sir, you're also visiting Fuyuki City, right? I can tell you're not a local." The person who stopped Diarmait was none other than Wang Chong, who was hoping to take advantage of him. Wang Chong introduced himself, "My name is Li Feiyu, I'm Chinese, and this one, Remlia, is from Germany. I wonder which country you're from."
"???" Jeanne was puzzled. Wang Chong's fake name was fine, but why did her own sound so strange? It felt like it had something to do with something bad. Like a little bat or something.
"..." It turned out they were just two tourists visiting Fuyuki. It looked like they'd met an old friend in a foreign land and wanted to chat. However, Diarmait wasn't a particularly aloof person, so he said, "Dil. Irish."
"Irish... that's rare indeed. But your outfit is quite unique, sir... is it the style back there?" Wang Chong asked in feigned surprise. However, the other party seemed smart enough not to reveal his full name.
"Uh... this..." At this time, Diarmait realized that his attire seemed a little too conspicuous in the crowd.
"It's okay. I understand that every place has its own cultural customs. There's no need to worry about it. But... this outfit is indeed a bit too unique, and you seem to be a little bothered by it. How about this? There's a saying that goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since we're both in this large clothing mall, how about picking out some suitable clothes together?" Wang Chong said enthusiastically.
"Forget it. I have some things to deal with, so I won't bother you with this." Diarmait thought that the key to his mission was to find an opponent, and he couldn't waste his time choosing clothes.
"Is that so... No problem, how about we take a walk together? I happen to know a little bit about the local customs and people here, and after listening to them, I'll have something to share with my family when I get back." Wang Chong waved his hand and walked side by side with Diarmait, while Joan of Arc followed silently behind.
Diarmuid had no choice but to let the other party follow him for a distance. After all, this place was not far from the exit of the mall.
"I heard that Japan values the Bushido spirit the most. Hehe, I don't know if you're familiar with Bushido. It seems like in ancient times, there were warriors called samurai who protected the daimyo, the ancient nobles of this country. And they would fight against each other, usually in the form of one-on-one duels."
Wang Chong rambled on about Japanese Bushido, which intrigued Diarmait. He asked, "And then?"
"If it's just a simple 1v1 duel, there are similar templates in ancient times all over the world, so it's nothing special. But it can be called a bushido duel, not just an ordinary brawl, so it must be governed by certain rules and etiquette."
"For example, before the duel, both players must wear clothing that suits the scene. The Japanese love to pay attention to these things. There are clear requirements for clothes, props, weapons, etc. Only when the clothes are appropriate and in accordance with etiquette will they approve the duel ceremony." Wang Chong talked about it. Of course, all of the above are Wang Chong's nonsense and should not be taken seriously.
However, it is not a problem to coax Diarmait. Can't you see that he is already lost in thought?
"Well, Mr. Li Feiyu, if the Japanese want to start a duel, they must wear etiquette-appropriate clothing, right?" Diarmuid said.
"That should be the case. After all, from what I understand about Japanese culture, it's true. But those are all historical relics. It's already the 20th century, who still cares about samurai duels? We live in a civilized society now, and even fighting will get you arrested." Wang Chong said, but he thought to himself, "Huh, he's taken the bait. With that last reminder, Diarmait should have noticed the fundamental reason why no one came to see you."
As expected, after listening to this, Diarmait thought to himself, "When conducting a Holy Grail War on foreign soil, we must also abide by local rules, such as the clothing used for dueling rituals. Also... that last sentence just reminded me. The Holy Grail War cannot be exposed to the public. The more I release the aura of my Servants in crowded places, the less likely they will come. Because the impact would be extremely negative."
"Plus, this outfit is a bit flashy... well, let's just pick out some suitable clothes." After Diarmait finished thinking, he said to Wang Chong, "Mr. Li Feiyu, how do you think I should dress like the Japanese samurai of the past?"
"Oh? You're interested in Bushido, huh? Great, why don't we go shopping? I remember seeing a few vintage shops just now. You can only tell if clothes are suitable after you wear them yourself."
"Thank you for your help." Diarmait said politely.
……
The three of them began trying on a variety of clothing, including traditional Japanese samurai attire, swordsman attire, and even yukata. Wang Chong also spotted a beach outfit. If I recall correctly, it was the everyday outfit that a certain blue Lancer, Hou Shi, liked to wear while fishing. It was perfect for Diarmait, a fellow Lancer.
Of course, there was a small incident during this process. The guy who provided magic to Diarmait appeared. Well, it wasn't Director Ken, but a woman who looked quite decisive - Sora.
Sora looked at Wang Chong and Zhende warily and asked in a rather hostile tone, "Who are you? What do you want to do by bringing Mr. Dill here?"
After all, two foreign travelers suddenly appeared, taking Lancer around with them, and their enthusiasm was a bit strange. It was difficult to determine whether they had other intentions. Maybe they were a pair of competitors for the Holy Grail and wanted to do something improper to Lancer.
"What a beautiful lady! You are Mr. Dill's wife, right? We are recommending some suitable clothes for Mr. Dill. Since you are here, why don't you come and see if Mr. Dill's clothes are suitable?" Wang Chong asked politely with a slight smile on his face.
"Hey...Husband...Madam?" Sora's face turned red after hearing these words, and Wang Chong naturally saw her expression.
"Wait, Mr. Li Feiyu, she doesn't..." Diarmait clearly didn't want to be misunderstood like this. He had already made this mistake before. After being summoned as a Heroic Spirit, his wish was to be faithful to his duties and loyal to his monarch. He never wanted to experience this kind of thing again, such as stealing the monarch's wife.
"Okay, Mr. Dill, I was just joking out of courtesy, don't react so strongly... Mr. Li, you're too polite. Mr. Dill and I haven't reached that point yet. I'm just concerned and worried about Mr. Dill. You two look like kind and warm-hearted people, I was a little overthinking." Sola's words suddenly lost their previous aggressiveness, and he spoke with a smile as warm as spring breeze.
As expected, Sora had now willingly succumbed to Diarmait's teardrop mole and fallen in love with the Servant. As the saying goes, a girl in love usually doesn't have much brains. Therefore, Wang Chong's subsequent words were even more appealing, focusing on the two of them and directly dragging Sora into the procession of changing Diarmait's outfit.
……
"Well, it's not good for us to steal other people's clothes like this, right?" Jeanne said, looking at the bags of various sizes after leaving the mall. It was clear that Sora had been greatly pleased and enjoyed Wang Chong's words throughout the entire process, as they had been getting along very happily. Consequently, Sora generously paid for Wang Chong and his friends' clothing.
"It's just a small amount of money. For magicians like us, it's not even a fraction of it. Just consider it as my hard work fee for talking so hard." Wang Chong said with a smile.
"Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully defrauding Sora and Diarmait. They wasted their money on these clothes. 50 Villain Points are awarded. Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully sowing discord between Diarmait and Kayneth. Kayneth's dislike for Diarmait has increased. 100 Villain Points are awarded. Current Villain Points: 3000~"
"Good boy, could it be that Director Ken saw everything that just happened? You are really patient, Director Ken." After hearing the system's reward prompt, Wang Chong couldn't help but say.
Chapter 54: Clone, Return
The relationship between Ken, Sora, and Diarmuid is complex. However, it's easy to understand if you try to simplify it. Ken and Sora are engaged, and Ken truly loves her. However, Sora sees the wedding as a political marriage, viewing herself as a sacrifice offered by her family. Consequently, she dislikes Kenneth and even mocks him mercilessly.
What is dramatic is that, whether it was for revenge on Kayneth or for some other reason, Sora was seduced by Diarmait's Mole of Love and fell in love with Diarmait, the Servant. He even fantasized about using Diarmait to win the Holy Grail War and then kicking Kayneth away so that he could make a wish to be with Diarmait and escape the fate of his family.
Therefore, Sora's seduction was not Diarmait's fault. According to Kenneth's own words: "Unfounded suspicion is foolish. Even ordinary people know that Sora is the daughter of the famous Sophialee family of magic. Even if she did not inherit the magic mark, she still has a strong resistance to this level of charm spell. Unless she herself does not resist this charm, it will not work-"
It is not difficult to see that Sora deliberately and proactively embraced Diarmait's temptation.
Wang Chong's comment on this is: being a bootlicker is not good, and being a xxn is even worse.
It's a shame for Director Ken, and Sora is incredibly lucky. If Director Ken had found a better woman, she wouldn't have had such a tragic ending. If the man Sora was marrying only saw her as a reproductive tool, would she have dared to act like this?
"Oh, I just encountered the spearman and I don't dare to draw cards. Let's see what good things are refreshed in the store today." As soon as Wang Chong returned home, he began to prepare today's lunch and opened the mall to see if there were any good things refreshed.
"It's still the same mess of expensive stuff as usual... Sigh, the price-performance ratio of things bought in the store is really too low. What's the discount today? 7% off? Damn, it's so affordable, which lucky thing will be drawn... The original price is 4000, and the current price is 2800? Wait, 2800? Why does this number seem so painful?" Wang Chong complained a little, then looked at the prop he could currently afford.
"Random jars? Why are there still jars? Don't we already have card draws? System, come out and explain?" Wang Chong's face darkened, remembering his own painful journey of opening jars with his eight million warriors. Fortunately, he hadn't seen any so-called strengthening or refining yet. Otherwise, Wang Chong would have really exploded.
"Host, you actually got a jar? This is a good thing." The system appeared and said, "The jars in this system are not the kind of scams. Although it is also a lottery, this jar can sense the state and inner desires of the person who opened it. The items it extracts will basically be something very suitable for the host at the moment. It is definitely worth the money, and there will be no inferior items to fill the gaps."
"You know, the original price is 4000 villain points after all. How could the system harm the host so easily with such a thing? Not only is it refreshed now, but it is also discounted. It will be a loss for the host if you don't buy it." The system quickly advised.
"Okay, I'll trust you this time. Tsk, I've already spent all 200 villain points in a split second." Wang Chong looked at the jar that appeared in his hand and asked, "How do I open it? Just open the jar like this?"
"Of course, you have to use a hammer to smash the jar. Opening the jar should make a crackling sound." The system produced a hammer and handed it to Wang Chong, then said, "Go ahead, host, smash the jar hard. As the saying goes, great strength brings miracles! The greater the force, the more likely it is that you will achieve miracles and miracles."
"You said it." Wang Chong exerted his strength, and the muscles in his hands instantly swelled and hardened. With the dual blessing of bravery and natural physique, Wang Chong smashed the jar hard with a hammer.
"Clang-crack-!"
"Wang Chongjun? What happened in the kitchen?"
"It's okay. I accidentally used too much force and broke the plate."
"Is that so? Be careful when using your power, Wang Chong-jun." Jeanne's voice sounded from the living room.
"Got it," Wang Chong responded as he watched a ball of light emerge from the broken jar, then burrow directly into his brow. Immediately afterwards, a strange power coursed through his body, and a flood of information flooded his mind.
Wang Chong quickly closed his eyes to absorb the information, then opened them again, a look of ecstasy on his face. The system had indeed not deceived me. What he had just obtained from the jar was an ability called: clone.
As the name suggests, this ability allows one to create a clone with the same appearance as oneself. However, unlike inferior clones that shatter at the slightest touch, this clone possesses half the combat power of the original. Furthermore, as the ability improves, the combat power and number of this clone will increase significantly.
If that were all, it wouldn't be truly special. The most powerful aspect of this ability is the ability to swap positions between the original and the clone at will. This ability works over a considerable distance. For now, at least, if one were to station a clone at the North Pole and the other at the South Pole, they could still swap positions in an instant. It's safe to say that Wang Chong has no problem using this ability at this point.
"In this way, I can finally fight on two fronts. I will leave my clone here to stabilize Jeanne, and then I will go back to the Matou family first. Then I should go to Enzo Mountain to hatch a heroic spirit that I have prepared long ago." Wang Chong thought with a smile.
"Clone!" Wang Chong immediately used this ability. Soon he felt a part of his consciousness move to another location. Looking at the other "self" that appeared in front of him, this feeling was quite wonderful, controlling two bodies at the same time.
However, Wang Chong quickly adapted to this process, so he first withdrew his clone and waited for lunch. He then left the clone here to help Jeanne continue to explore the surrounding situation, while he himself returned to the Matou family.
……
"Huh, I haven't been back to the Matou family for a few days. I miss them so much." Wang Chong transformed into a wisp of black air and, instead of heading towards the main gate, returned to the Matou family through the secret escape passage that Old Bug had built. The entrance was in the basement of the Matou family.
Just as he was about to climb the stairs to the basement, he heard a very cheerful voice from above: "Oh! Not bad, Xiaoshi! This sword is much more powerful than the last time. With your current fighting ability, you could have become a qualified knight in the past."
He knew it was Mordred the moment he heard the voice. Without hesitation, Wang Chong opened the top cover and saw Mordred and Xiao Liang Yi Shi fighting with real swords.
"Be careful, don't get hurt." Wang Chong shouted.
"Understood, Master." Mordred had long sensed Wang Chong's presence below, so Wang Chong's emergence didn't strike him as particularly surprising. However, Xiao Liang Yi Shi, who had been concentrating on training, was startled by Wang Chong's sudden return. As a result, Mordred's sword blasted the blade in her hand, sending it flying into the air.
"Dodge, Shuiyue." Wang Chong leaped into the air, then changed direction three times, weaving back and forth in an uncanny manner. He finally landed in front of Xiao Liang Yi Shi, handed the knife to her, and said, "See the movement I just made. Practice it well. Don't just practice your hand skills and ignore the coordination of your footwork."
"Yes, Master." Xiao Liang Yi was very serious about this and nodded.
Wang Chong touched Xiao Liang Yi's head as a reward, and then said, "Let's stop here for today and go take a shower. I brought a gift." Wang Chong took out the classic outfit of Future Sister: a blue kimono and a red jacket.
"How about it? Do you like these two clothes?" Wang Chong said with a smile.
"Hmm...hmm!" A light flashed in Xiao Liang Yi's eyes. It was obvious that she had a sense of destiny about these two clothes. She liked them very much.
"Then go wash up quickly and put it on to see if it fits you... You are really a decisive guy." Wang Chong said happily as he watched Xiao Liangyi disappear without a trace like an arrow.
