The Warrior of Love

"Impossible! Impossible! Tomoe Mami-sensei... Madoka... Homura... Kyoko... Aa ...

"Huh? You're still watching Psycho-Pass, what a coincidence... Oh, there's also Aldnoah Zero and Requiem here. Let me see... Oh? You only watched half of Requiem."

Jiang Liu showed a smile as innocent as a child.

"You know, the protagonist Zwei eventually moved Ein, and the two of them escaped from the organization together. It's a really heartwarming story.

But it’s a pity that Zwei was shot dead in the end... Oh, sorry, I forgot you haven’t seen it yet.

Hey, this is "Saya no Uta". You're playing such an unpopular game. I happen to know a little about the plot. Did you know that there are actually many hidden settings..."

——Time for heartwarming short stories from the Warrior of Love.

“Ahhhh!! My brain, my brain – my brain is shaking!”

The black-haired girl with a chaotic look in her eyes was grabbing her hair frantically. She had already run out of the kotatsu without caring about anything, as if she had seen something indescribable.

"I, I, I—Ah!"

I don’t know if it was because she had exceeded her mental limit, but Princess Xingbu actually fainted while standing. Her posture was as artistic as a statue of a martyr.

hum-

After the girl lost consciousness, a brilliant and sacred golden light appeared, and the second layer of the Holy Grail fragments condensed in the void and slowly fell in front of Jiang Liu.

"Great, now we can go to the third floor... Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lixiang, the old priest, and even Tamamo cat looked at Jiang Liu with extremely complicated eyes.

The Master girl showed an expression of shame and guilt on her face, especially after seeing Princess Keibu turned into a statue, she felt as if "my child has caused you trouble."

The old priest even made the sign of the cross in front of himself: "Merciful Lord, please forgive his soul..."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Jiang Liu tilted his head, puzzled.

“I just want to make the children who read my works aware of the cruelty of the world, so as to increase their desire for love and beauty. I haven’t done anything bad.”

I am the distant mountains and rivers, oh no, I, Gen Urobuchi, have a clear conscience!

Chapter 480: Sister and Brother, My Servant (Hero)!

When he was an author, Jiang Liu watched his fans being tortured to the point of wanting to die, but unable to stop because of the quality of their works, and even having their aesthetics and world views forcibly distorted... Sometimes he even felt that he would be punished by God.

Later, Jiang Liu gradually realized that what he did was a bit unethical. Although the "original work" was Gen Urobuchi from another time and space, it was indeed him who brought these "heartwarming" works to the world in this world.

Therefore, he originally planned to restrain himself and no longer release such dark and cruel works, but to instead produce works that are more in line with the public taste and would make readers feel happy.

Yes, for example, "Claymore", "Vinland Saga", "Flame Fist" and "Berserk", they are all good works full of truth, goodness, beauty and gentle atmosphere!

——However, before that, he had met a girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka, and bid farewell to his career as a creator. Since then, "Gen Urobuchi" has not released any new works, and the old series have not been updated.

Well, maybe it's a good thing in a sense, otherwise someone's immoral deeds will be further highlighted.

Having said that, after conquering the second floor, Jiang Liu and others did not go to the third floor immediately, but settled down temporarily in Himeji Castle, the castle of Princess Xingbu, and planned to stay overnight to adjust their condition.

Although Jiang Liu's endurance does not require rest, Ritsuka is just a "mortal body" and cannot sustain such a long period of adventure and fighting. It is already a struggle for him to reach the second floor in one breath, and he must take a proper rest.

The owner of Himeji Castle, Princess Geibu, did not recover until dinner time (in fact, it was always night time on the second floor) after being hit by Jiang Liu.

As a result, she neither attacked Jiang Liu madly nor turned to evil and degenerate, but just became more autistic.

Now she wished the kotatsu could become a part of her body, as if doing so could give her a sense of security. She almost got her entire body into it, including her neck and head. Only when she spoke would she lift up a corner, revealing a pair of eyes and an outline in the dark.

But perhaps this sense of mystery is more like the final BOSS?

Although hiding in the kotatsu itself has no prestige at all.

Xingbu Ji did not reject the request of Jiang Liu and others, and generously allowed them to stay in the city overnight. The only condition was that Jiang Liu could not approach her room.

According to her, there are many empty rooms in Himeji Castle. She hopes Jiang Liu can let her go and stay away from her...

After a simple dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Ritsuka was the most tired and fell asleep as soon as he relaxed.

In a deep sleep, sometimes something like an illusion would flash by. The drowsy Ritsuka naturally didn't think too much about it, but just let it go and built a dream -

[Um... Jiang Liu-kun... I am "Fujimaru Ritsuka", you can just call me "Ritsuka", please take care of me from now on. ]

[Brother, brother...haha, sorry, it's not easy to say. Hmm? Just call me Jiang Liujun? Do you mind... um, Jiang Liujun.]

【Thank you, Jiang Liu...brother.】

[Hey, brother...why is brother my brother? ]

——It is an extremely ordinary story about a pair of unrelated siblings who gradually accept each other in their daily lives and eventually identify with each other.

No, although they said they recognized each other, in reality, the one who was quarreling from the beginning to the end was just the younger sister.

Even though she didn't say it, she always had some resentment towards her new family.

“Why do I suddenly have to live under the same roof with a strange man I don’t know…” - Her resistance to the new family made her have such thoughts, and she hated her current life.

When did she gradually realize that she was not an "outsider" and that her stepfather and stepbrother really treated her as a family member?

I don’t know. I can’t remember anything like that.

But she knew that she had been helped many times by her family, and if it weren't for their support, her life would have been a mess long ago.

Especially my elder brother, he knows everything and is willing to teach me everything. No matter what I do wrong, he will blame me mercilessly and lend a helping hand without any hesitation.

I have to admit that for adolescent girls, the existence of such a role in life is indeed a confusing thing.

After that, as time went by, she developed a strange feeling for her nominal brother.

Nervous, excited, timid, and with some anticipation, the young girl does not understand what this is. She can vaguely sense the essence, but is confused because of the constraints of her identity.

In order to calm her mind and to determine whether her feelings were sincere, the girl decided to leave for a while and accepted the invitation of a United Nations charity organization to join the Antarctic scientific expedition team...

After that, the world changed.

From the girl's perspective, she is experiencing a magnificent adventure that is unimaginable for ordinary people, and her goal is to save the world and also save her family.

However, in the world outside Chaldea, people who experienced the baptism of "Incineration of Humanity" head-on...what kind of scenes did they see and what did they think at that moment?

Tonight, the girl learned about the experience of one of them:

【Ritsuka, take care of yourself. 】

On the electronic screen flashing with cold light was a message that had not been sent successfully.

The girl never received this message...

No, now, at this moment, across time and space and the bondage of fate, she received a message from the end of the world!

What on earth did the man go through, how did he survive the flames that destroyed the world, and how did he gain such powerful strength... The girl didn't care about all this.

The last thing she saw was herself trembling behind a shield, and a familiar voice.

[Servant Rider: Distant mountains and rivers, rushing over from the realm in response to the call! Let me ask, are you my Master? ]

——The girl woke up from her sleep and slowly opened her eyes.

The answer has been obtained: Yes!

You are my Servant (Hero)!

No matter how many worlds and years we have passed through, we are still connected by the ties of family. A hero will come rushing from the other side of time and space as long as I shout loudly!

"Ah……"

In the darkness, the girl opened her bright eyes, leaned sideways and stared at the wall, as if she wanted to see the person in the next room through this barrier.

"As expected...I like my brother the most."

The confession was so quiet that it could be ignored. The room soon returned to silence, and the girl fell asleep again with a smile on her face.

——At this moment, someone in the next room opened his eyes and lay sideways, facing the girl with only a wall between them.

"Ugh……"

With a faint sigh, he disappeared into the darkness.

Chapter 481: The Sin of Lust

The third floor is similar to the first floor, also a large-scale palace, but unlike the solemn and majestic style of the Black King's bedroom, this one presents more of a luxurious and decadent feeling.

The milky white marble floor and the gold-inlaid pillars are covered with hazy and thin gauze curtains. A faint fragrance permeates the slightly hot air, and even the air feels greasy like honey.

If the first floor is the palace where the overlord shows off his status, then this floor is a gorgeous bedroom built for pleasure, and the atmosphere is completely opposite.

The jailers on the third floor were soldiers dressed in retro style. They were not knights in armor, but ordinary infantrymen armed with spears, swords and shields.

Of course, their fighting power is not comparable to that of ordinary humans. Although it is not as good as the ability of servants, several soldiers working together are capable of hunting down monsters. If they are well organized, they can even defeat wyverns.

Their individual strength was not threatening, but their numbers were too large, causing a lot of trouble for Jiang Liu and others.

Relying on their own powerful strength, the Master and his servants finally broke through the soldiers' heavy defenses and arrived at the king's bedroom in the deepest part.

Here they are greeted by——

"Ah, that's great! I love strong warriors the most. You who can make it here are undoubtedly qualified to be ruled by me!"

The elegant white fur cape and the extremely revealing miniskirt fully display her round and tight thighs. Although her body curves cannot be said to be extremely hot, they are just right, with a perfect outline without a trace of fat, exuding feminine charm all the time.

Her pure and noble face was filled with a wanton and lustful expression, just like a succubus in mythology. Her existence itself was a tempting taboo.

"I am Maeve, the Queen of Connaught, in charge of the sin of lust. No matter how powerful a warrior is, he will fall at my feet. Under the whip of the Queen, no one can remain sane. Haha, why are you staring at me? Are you mesmerized by this beautiful body?"

The queen, who seemed like the embodiment of lust, lay on her side on the gorgeous big bed, looking at the visitor with provocative eyes, as if she was choosing her favorite jewelry and clothes, casually and confidently.

The lack of tension in his expression seemed to say "You are already mine".

After looking around for a while, she locked her gaze on Jiang Liu, with a strange light in her eyes, as if she saw a giant golden dragon.

"Oh my, this is really..."

The queen stretched out her pink and nimble tongue and gently licked her lips.

“It’s really disturbing.”

"Tsk!"

Ritsuka's eyes jumped suddenly. She was indeed staring at the queen's figure, but she was not fascinated by her body. Instead, she felt disgust and rejection from the bottom of her heart.

In terms of physical beauty, she is not inferior to the other, but she will probably never be able to possess the kind of seductive means that can tease men with both voice and movements.

This is the fundamental difference between a "girl" and a "woman".

Maeve may look younger, but her experience, skills and innate temperament are incomparable to Ritsuka.

So, as an innocent girl, Ritsuka instinctively began to hate the other party.

Especially after she noticed that Maeve's gaze was directed at Jiang Liu, the girl with long black hair felt even worse.

Fortunately, her companions' performance did not disappoint her. Jiang Liu and the old priest did not lose their composure in the face of Maeve's temptation. They just looked at the queen normally and then made their requests.

"Dear Queen, we want to go to the fourth floor. Could you please show us the way?"

"Of course, guarding the passage to the upper level is the duty of the guardian. Although people are generally not allowed to travel through it at will, since you have defeated so many enemies along the way, as a reward for the warriors, I will give you a chance."

Huh? Unexpectedly easy to talk to?

Ritsuka's expression relaxed a little and he gave the queen a kind smile.

"Thank you for your tolerance, Queen Maeve. You really helped us a lot."

Maybe she just judged people by appearance, this person might be a good——

"But don't be happy too soon."

"Uh..." Ritsuka's face twisted again when he heard Maeve's next words.

It’s not that easy after all!

"You can go there if you want, but you must pass the test I set. The opportunity I give you is just a chance to challenge this test."

Maeve said with a smile: "But don't worry, I am a kind and gentle woman, I will not take your lives, even if the challenge fails, you can leave.

However, I also have requirements for challengers.

Generally speaking, I will only issue decrees to warriors who possess strength and wisdom, and acknowledge that only they are qualified to "communicate" with me on an equal footing. So, have you mustered up the courage? Do you want to challenge me?"

"Thank you very much... I just don't know what the trial of Her Majesty the Queen is?" Ritsuka asked cautiously.
