It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

"Abi-chan, the word 'strategy'...don't say it as if I'm a jerk."

Xueyue was speechless.

"That's right, it's about Sister Xue's charisma~"

Abigail smiled.

"Abi-chan, Miyu will stay at your place for the next two days. I'll need her to go up the mountain later."

Xueyue ordered.

"no problem."

"Then I will go..."

"and many more!"

Abigail stretched out her arms and stood in front of the door in a "big" shape.

"Sister Xue, it's so late and it's raining outside, why don't you stay here tonight~"

Xueyue originally wanted to say that she was not afraid of that little rain, but when she saw Abigail's imposing smile, she suddenly found it difficult to refuse.

"It's so late, the children should go to bed and not stay up late."

Berserker appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Abigail by the back of her collar, and lifted her up like a kitten with its neck pinched.

"Well……"

Abigail, whose fate was held by the scruff of her neck, looked like a kitten.

“Hahahaha…uh—”

Looking at the helpless expression of Abigail who was picked up, Xueyue couldn't help laughing, but soon she couldn't laugh anymore.

Berserker walked into the room and picked her up as well.

"Wait, I'm not a child anymore-!"

"Children must not stay up late. It's time to rest."

Berserker still seemed to be talking to himself.

"Give up, Sister Xue. Berserker has always been like this. Once she has made up her mind, she will not listen to anything else, especially when it comes to caring for children and patients. Thanks to her, my daily routine has been very healthy recently..."

Abigail tilted her head and said.

"Very good, I now fully understand what EX-level [Frenzy] is..."

There is one more person who has a gloomy face.

Berserker, who was holding a girl in one hand, looked at Miyu again.

"..."

Meiyou fully demonstrated her subjective initiative of "a man who knows the current situation is a hero" and immediately retreated into bed and covered herself with the quilt.

"Good night……"

Miyu decisively closed her eyes.

Berserker looked at Miyu, nodded with satisfaction, and took Xueyue and Abigail to wash up.

A quarter of an hour later.

Abigail and Xueyue both changed into pink pajamas and lay down in bed.

"I'm staying tonight. Are you happy, Abi-chan?"

"Hmm~!"

Abigail shrank into Xueyue's arms excitedly.

"Okay, I'll be here tonight. Have a good dream. Good night, my Abi~"

Xueyue gently kissed Abigail's forehead and gently held her in her arms.

Chapter 141 The Fox and the Witch

The moment the morning sun jumped out of the horizon, Fanlou opened its eyes, like an accurate alarm clock.

"Master, you are awake~"

When he opened his eyes, the person he saw was the fox's Servant - Tamamonomae.

In fact, as an Old God, even though Houlou is not in the world of Disboard and his strength is restricted to one tenth, he still retains some basic powers, for example, he does not need to eat or rest.

But she listened to Xueyue's advice and tried to live a human life, which included eating and resting on time.

As for food, Fanlou had to admit that human food was indeed interesting. Delicious food always brought her a sense of satisfaction, which was an emotion called "joy".

As for rest, that is, sleep, Fanlou would always follow Xueyue's instructions at night, close his eyes, lie down, and let his mind go, thinking about nothing. It was different from the previous time when his spirit was dormant, when he was full of chaos and unconsciousness, and [sleep] brought an inexplicable sense of emptiness, and after sleeping, he could feel an emotion called "relaxation".

"Caster, can Houlou ask you some questions?"

"Master, is there anything you want to know? Xiaoyu, I will tell you everything I know!"

Tamamonomae's fox ears stood up, as if she was very curious about the Master's question.

"Is this also possible regarding your past?"

"Hmm... Xiaoyu thinks that she cannot fully represent the Nine-Tailed Fox now, so it's OK. What do you want to know, Master?"

"Holou wants to know about the feeling called love. I heard that Caster has served more than one king. Do you understand this feeling?"

"Master, you really know how to ask questions. This question - the definition of [love] - can be considered one of the most difficult questions to answer for a creature with emotions."

After hearing the question, Tamamonomae gave a wry smile.

"But if we don't talk about such broad concepts and just talk about Xiaoyu herself, I can still say a little bit of my own thoughts."

"Holou will listen carefully!"

Hanlou nodded, pulled out an ink pen from the ink pot, and unfolded the scroll, indicating that he was ready to listen carefully.

"Although the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox and I are strictly speaking different individuals, I still cannot deny that it is a part of my past. If that is the answer of the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox, then love is a tool that lures people into indulging in it, getting whatever they want, tempting everything, plundering everything, and living like this. But you have heard about the fate of the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox, and that can be called a lesson."

Tamamonomae pondered and weighed her words.

"If it's profit-oriented and takes everything away, that can't be called [love] at all. Now, Xiaoyu, I may still not understand what [love] is, but I now think that giving everything for someone I value, such as you, Master, is my expression. As for whether it is [love], I think it is not enough to define it."

"So, can Houlou [love] Caster?"

Fanlou asked seriously.

"Although I am very happy that Master said so, the word "love" is not something that can be said so easily. As a Servant, I have the obligation to devote everything to the Master to win the victory, but the Master obviously has more things to worry about, and there are more important people who need to pay attention to~"

"You mean... Xueyue and the others?"

"Master Di Hong, I dare not discuss her affairs, but if you are interested, you can give it a try~"

"You seem to be very afraid of Xueyue, but she doesn't seem that scary..."

"Master is right. Lady Dihong is indeed kind and amiable, but that does not stop me from respecting her."

Hanlou stopped recording, put the ink pen back into the ink pot, and stood up.

"Okay...Holou wants to go out for a walk, Caster, you can come too."

"Okay, Master~"

-------------------------------------

"So it's okay. There are so many people in the school, and didn't you say yesterday that the school was safe?"

Facing Shirou going to school alone, Saber was still full of worries:

"Shirou, it was safe yesterday, but that's not necessarily the case today!"

"If that's the case, then we can't go anywhere, right?"

Shirou Emiya was also somewhat helpless.

"Besides, Saber, you need to conserve your magic power, right? It would be nice to take a short rest. Then, I'm leaving~"

Emiya Shirou said this and walked out. In response to Emiya Shirou's insistence, Saber could only lower her shoulders and sigh:

"I understand, since the Master said so. However, in an emergency, please use the Command Spell."

"Well, see you later."

Emiya Shirou agreed and closed the door.

-------------------------------------

"Hello~ Good morning, Toosaka-san~"

As soon as he entered the teaching building, Emiya Shirou met Toosaka Rin and greeted her warmly.

"what?"

In contrast, Toosaka Rin had an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Shirou Emiya looked at Toosaka Rin's somewhat broken expression and was very confused.

"..."

(This guy came to school without even bringing his Servant. Is he an idiot?)

Toosaka Rin glared at Emiya Shirou and walked away on her own.

Instead, Emiya Shirou was left standing there, looking confused.

Normal campus life passed quickly. As dusk approached, due to the abnormal phenomena that occurred in recent days, the school cancelled all after-school club activities and students began to go home one after another.

Shirou Emiya went to the teaching building where the sports equipment was placed alone. When he turned the corner of the entrance, he saw Toosaka Rin standing on the top of the stairs, looking down at him.

"I'm speechless. How dare you come to school without a Servant? Are you really sane?"

"There's nothing I can do. Saber can't transform into a spirit, so I can't bring her here."

"Then don't come to school. Wandering around without a Servant is like asking others to 'please kill me quickly'. Emiya-san, do you know how stupid you are?"

Chapter 142: The Chase After School

"Stupid...? Masters won't fight in public, right? Then school won't be a problem, right?"

Emiya Shirou retorted.

"Hmm? Then let me ask you, is this a place with people?"

"what?"

Shirou Emiya looked around subconsciously, and found everything was empty.

It is true that there are very few people in this teaching building, not to mention that now is the time when most students have already gone home, so it is naturally impossible for there to be anyone here.

"It seems like you finally understood. It was really annoying when you came to me without any reason this morning. I warned you again and again, so why did you rush to die?"

Toosaka Rin rolled up the sleeve of her left arm, and some patterns on her arm emitted an emerald green light.

"Is that... a magic seal?"

Even though he was only a half-baked magician, Emiya Shirou still recognized what the pattern was.

"Yes, this is the magic crystal that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. The magic engraved here can be activated at will as long as I inject magic power into it."

Toosaka Rin raised her arm and displayed her magic seal.

"I've already sent Archer back. The Yin Qi bomb engraved here will be enough to deal with you."

"Gand? That old Nordic curse?"

Shirou Emiya had heard of such rumors.

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to know this. It's really - very - old-fashioned stuff~"

Toosaka Rin drew out her tone and pointed her finger at Emiya Shirou with murderous intent, as if she was ready to launch an attack.
