In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

I will take her place by my father's side and protect her at all costs!

Watch, father!

I will definitely beat these two shameless bad women in the card game under your watchful eyes!

A few hours later.

"how so……"

Mordred looked at the paper with the score sheet and showed an expression of disbelief.

"I didn't win a single hand all night?!"

"How is this possible!"

"Maybe it's just bad luck~" Fujimaru Ritsuka shuffled the cards and then piled them into a stack.

"but--"

"It's over. I'm the first, Mash is the second, and you're the third, Mordred."

"Yes, yes, it's over."

Mashu followed Fujimaru Ritsuka's words and spoke.

However, her expression looked quite unnatural, even a little guilty, as if she was afraid of something.

Ian noticed this.

But he didn't say it, and chose to remain silent.

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and looked at the man with a smile.

"The game is over."

"Ian, isn't it time for us to go to bed?"

"..."

Ian nodded.

"it is good."

The lights go out.

The room gradually became quiet.

Time passed slowly until late at night.

Fortunately, the beds provided by Chaldea for the masters are relatively large, so even if they are squeezed together like now, it is not completely impossible to sleep.

In bed, everyone looks a little different.

Mordred on the far right was sleeping soundly. She smacked her lips from time to time. She seemed to have a very good sleep quality and had completely forgotten the pain of losing the card game.

Ian closed his eyes and did not move, and he seemed to be asleep as well.

Only Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who were on his left and right, were awake at this late hour.

Both of them took action at this time.

First up is Mashu on the left.

Her fingers, like a thief breaking into a house, moved slowly across the bed towards where Ian was.

bumped into.

The moment her hand touched Ian's, Matthew blushed - even though she knew he was sleeping.

I really like the feeling of holding hands with him.

On top of that, the feeling of having him touch my head is also pretty great.

and so--

In this late night, borrow his hand to recall.

It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Compared to Mashu's sneaky appearance, Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions are much bolder.

After all, after learning that Ian was single, her previous concerns completely disappeared.

He has no girlfriend;

I don’t have a boyfriend;

Isn't that a perfect match?!

Having a boyfriend who protects you like this is better than anything else.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't realize it.

Her behavior doesn't seem like she's looking for a boyfriend.

It would be more accurate to say that he was left with a psychological trauma due to the helicopter incident, and he urgently needed someone to accompany him who could guarantee that "no problem would occur as long as he was there."

but--

There is one thing that Fujimaru Ritsuka is very clear about.

That is, the competition around Ian will definitely be fierce.

He does not come to me on his own initiative;

Then just take the initiative to walk towards him!

With this thought in mind, even though she knew that the so-called magic inspection might be a fraud, Fujimaru Ritsuka was still very happy to have some unexpected contact with men.

She is not some fool.

So, Ian's other hand was held up for this reason.

Ritsuka Fujimaru also wanted to do something with his hands.

But what the two girls didn't expect was that not long after they took Ian's hand, they were held by the other party in return.

A man's voice sounded faintly:

"Ladies, it's time to go to bed now."

Ian didn't sleep!

Mashu suddenly became nervous.

And Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know what to do - after waiting for so long, she didn't expect Ian to not fall asleep.

But Ian seemed to have no intention of holding them accountable.

"Shh-"

"Don't be so loud."

Ian pulled the two girls closer to him.

"It would be bad if it disturbed my little Mo's sleep."

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who were already quiet, now seemed as if the mute button was pressed.

Seeing this, Ian continued:

"I'm glad you're willing to think about sleeping next to me."

"But I am very dissatisfied with the approach you finally took."

"She'd be pissed if she knew she lost the card game because you guys teamed up to cheat."

"Senior...I'm sorry."

Mash apologized almost instantly.

"I shouldn't have done that."

"No, it's my problem." Fujimaru Ritsuka whispered, "Mashu, you never thought you could do this."

"I'm just being clever."

"Nothing! It's my problem!"

"it's me!"

"I!"

"No, it's me!"

Seeing that Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka were about to get into another strange quarrel, Ian stopped them directly for fear of waking up Mordred.

"All right."

"Let's end the debate about who is right and who is wrong here."

"Actually, if you really want to arrange the sleeping positions like this... just come to me directly."

“It really makes me unhappy to see this kind of behavior.”

"so--"

Ian held Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka's hands tightly.

"I have to punish you this time."

"Punishment?" Mashu asked worriedly.

"Are you going to kick us out of bed?"

"no."

"Since you all have that idea."

"Of course I won't ignore it."

Ian took the two people's hands and touched the waists of the two girls on the left and right.

but--

The direction is opposite.

Ritsuka Fujimaru's hand and Ian's hand reached Mashu's side.

Mashu's hand followed the man to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"so--"

"You can use my hands as weapons to satisfy your opponent mentally, and then admit defeat."

"But let me make it clear first, the loser can't sleep in this position."

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at each other.

Both of them stopped talking.

They knew it would be a very brutal fight.

"It looks like everything is ready."

"Then let's get started~"

dawn.

Looking at Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu who were exhausted and falling asleep in the bed beside him, Ian couldn't help but admire them.

Although the battle was raging, neither of them conceded defeat in this duel that was so spiritually satisfying to the other.

It was not until the last moment of the fight that they both fell.

Everyone is a winner, and everyone is a loser.

but--

Ian actually had no intention of driving any of them away.

Even if he didn't really like them, he understood that toys needed to be taken good care of.

Tonight's fight was nothing more than pure indulgence.

Oh...the real indulgence is yet to come.

Ian reached out and picked up the phone on the table next to him.
