In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

Scathach heard his muttering, suddenly stopped and turned around. Her red pupils looked directly at Xiao San, "If you think there is something wrong with my outfit, you can go and solve the problem of money yourself."

Takashi San's heart tightened when he saw her gaze, and he quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that at all! Miss Scathach's outfit is very... very unique! I just said it casually, really!"

Scathach didn't say anything else, just glanced at him indifferently, then turned and continued walking forward.

Meanwhile, in a high-rise building in central Tokyo, the atmosphere in the office of the head of the Japanese Public Security Anti-Demon Special Operations Section 4 was solemn... The office was simply decorated. A red-haired woman sat at a large desk, a pen in hand, her fingertips tapping lightly on the surface. Her gaze was penetrating, and her long red hair stood out against the bright light.

Standing before her were two men in black suits, the same men who had earlier investigated the Tiger Demon incident on the street. The tall man bowed his head slightly, "...Ms. Makima, this is what happened at the scene. The Tiger Demon was instantly killed by an unknown force... A third party was involved in this incident, and they appear to be very powerful, no ordinary force."

The short and stocky man added, "We suspect it was done by civilian demon hunters, but we don't have any conclusive evidence yet."

After listening to the two people's reports, Machima nodded slightly and stopped tapping the pen in her hand. "Okay, I understand."

The two men looked at each other and said nothing more, just waiting quietly for her next instruction.

Makima stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the city at night. Her gaze passed through the glass. After a moment, she turned around, her tone still gentle: "Continue the investigation."

"Yes!" the two men answered in unison, then turned and left the office.

Makima sat back in her chair, her fingers gently running over the documents on the table, and she murmured softly, "Has it started yet..."

Chapter 93: 092 Living with Scathach (Part )

The purple-haired BBA acted quickly... While Xiaosan was still thinking about what to do next, Scathach had already taken the lead and handled the matter properly.

When Xiao San was still hesitating about where to find a place to stay, Scathach had already brought him to a small six-story building. The building was a little old, and the paint on the exterior wall was a little peeling, but overall it was quite clean.

Scathach knocked on a door and when she saw the landlord, she said bluntly and coldly, "We want to rent a room."

The landlady was a middle-aged woman with a shrewd and wary look on her face. She looked up and down at Scathach and Takashi San, especially at Scathach's eye-catching tights and mask, her eyes full of suspicion. "What is your relationship...? Where are this child's parents?"

Scathach didn't answer, but pulled out a very thick stack of Japanese yen from her pocket and handed it directly to the landlord. The landlord's eyes lit up instantly, and the suspicion on her face was replaced by surprise. She took the money, counted it quickly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised: "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier! There's a vacant room in this building. I'll take you to see it!"

Xiao San stood aside, watching all this in amazement. Before he could speak, Scathach had already followed the landlord into the building. He hurried to catch up, secretly sighing in his heart: "Miss Scathach's ability to act is too strong..."

Different from Altria's "girlish feeling of wanting to guide everything", Scathach gives Takashi the feeling of a "reliable adult"... Even though Takashi's mental age is already that of a middle-aged man, in front of Scathach, he still feels like "a young child".

The room is located on the third floor. Although it is not big, it is fully furnished.

Scathach stood at the entrance, looking calmly at every corner of the room.

The landlord stood at the door and said with a smile, "Although the house is not big, it is very quiet and very suitable for you to live in... This is already the best room here. In short, if you need anything, feel free to call me."

"Okay, you can go." Scathach's tone was still cold.

The landlord was already used to Scathach's attitude, so he didn't say much. He just happily counted the money in his hand and turned to leave.

Xiao San walked into the living room and looked around at this new environment. Although the room was not large, it was decorated in a cozy manner.

There is a sofa, coffee table, TV, air conditioner, and a few pots of green plants on the windowsill... Xiaosan walked to the sofa, sat down gently, felt the softness under his body, and felt a little relaxed.

At this moment, Scathach closed the door and walked straight to the bathroom. Her steps were still elegant and calm, and she said without looking back: "I'm going to take a shower first. You stay here and don't run around. As long as you are with me, you will be safe."

Takashi nodded, his eyes unconsciously following Scathach's back. She was tall and slender, her tight clothes emphasizing her perfect curves, and her purple-red hair shone softly in the light. Takashi didn't look away until Scathach walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

Not long after, the sound of water came from the bathroom. The sound of flowing water was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Takashi's eyes unconsciously glanced towards the bathroom.

The bathroom door wasn't completely closed, and through the translucent curtains, Scathach's figure could be vaguely seen. Her outline was barely visible in the mist.

Very big...

Very big...

Compared to Altria, Suzune, Annie, Christa, and the others, the difference is like the Central European Plain, the Alps, and the Po Plain. "It's even much bigger than Ai Li, right?" Kou San couldn't help but think.

In the bathroom, warm water poured from the showerhead, splashing onto Scathach's body. Drops of water flowed down her long, purple-red hair, past her slender neck, and slowly trickled down her fair back, finally dripping onto the floor. Her skin appeared crystal clear under the light, emitting a faint glow.

Scathach tilted her head back slightly, letting the water wash over her body. She murmured softly, "This is such a long-lost feeling."

Witnessing this, Xiao San's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and the divine light stick seemed to... He stood up, walked to the bathroom door, and gently pulled it shut. The moment he closed the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had accomplished something great.

Scathach, who was taking a bath, heard the sound of the door closing. She turned her head slightly, and a meaningful look flashed in her red pupils.

The sound of water continued, and Scathach's figure became even more hazy in the mist. Her eyes pierced through the curtains, as if she could see into Takashi's heart outside the door. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, with a faint smile, but she quickly returned to composure.

The sound of water in the bathroom gradually faded, and Scathach's figure became clearer in the mist. She looked through the curtains, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a faint smile, but she quickly returned to her composure.

Xiao San sat on the sofa and shook his head, "What a hassle! My body has become smaller, but that part (the magic wand) is still the shape of an adult... What a weird change."

In the bathroom, Scathach closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then put her hair back. The water flowed down along with her movements, splashing small water droplets. After a moment, she turned off the faucet, picked up the towel beside her, and wiped her body.

At this moment, on the sofa, Xiao San was searching for the abilities he could use in this world in the system panel.

Skill 2. Mangekyō Sharingan: Kotoamatsukami

Uchiha Shisui's unique genjutsu, known as the "strongest genjutsu," is a technique unique to his Mangekyō Sharingan. It can directly invade the opponent's mind and alter their will without their knowledge. Its effects are incredibly powerful, allowing the opponent to be manipulated without their knowledge.

"Sure enough, this isn't banned? Of course, if it were, the system wouldn't have emphasized it so much before." Xiao San pondered how to use this technique.

At this moment, the bathroom door opened slightly, and warm steam drifted out from the crack of the door, carrying a faint fragrance. Xiao San raised his head and his eyes were involuntarily drawn to it.

Scathach came out of the bathroom.

Her long purple hair was still a little wet, casually draped over her shoulders, with a few drops of water hanging on the ends of her hair, gleaming faintly under the light... She was wearing a dark white sweater on her upper body, and her lower body directly exposed her slender and white legs, with beautiful lines and skin as white as snow.

Scathach walked over to the sofa and sat down casually, crossing her legs. She glanced at Takashi San calmly: "Well. Next, we should talk about business."

Chapter 94:093 Sharing a Bed with Scathach (Part )

Artoria is the "King of Britain," while Scathach's system description is the "Queen of the Land of Shadows." Their statuses are equal. Scathach's stats: Strength B, Durability A, Agility A, Magic C, Luck D, Noble Phantasm A+... These stats are pretty much the same as Artoria's. "So, can we assume their strength is comparable? But Luck seems a bit low... Will they often encounter bad luck in battle?"

Agility A, which should mean fast.

Compared to Altria's speed, which rivaled that of a jet fighter... Kozo thought that since Miss Scathach had managed to steal money while he was reading, stealing a few clothes shouldn't be a problem. Kozo wasn't surprised that Scathach had changed into casual clothes.

Scathach sat on the edge of the sofa, legs crossed, her snow-white thighs exposed from the hem of her sweater, a faint outline of absolute territory in the warm yellow light. Her bare feet rested casually on the edge of the coffee table, the arch of her foot as delicate as a jade carving, and her toes were still stained with water droplets from the bathroom, reflecting the light, making them look delicious.

Takashi's gaze flickered away as if burned, a crimson blush spreading across the back of his neck. He stared intently at the cracked wood grain of the coffee table, his Adam's apple twitching before he found his voice again: "Miss Scathach, please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

"Three points." Scathach tapped her fingertips on the armrest of the sofa, her red eyes sparkling. "First, my transformation into a spirit body will cause my reaction time to be delayed, so it is more efficient to remain in physical form... You'd better get used to being in the same room with me and stay by my side. I mean, you can't leave me, you should understand that."

"Ah?" Xiaosan showed a puzzled expression.

"Second, you must train with me daily." She suddenly leaned forward, her damp purple hair brushing against the boy's flushed cheeks. "Your magic circuits are more active than expected, but your control isn't even third-rate... You don't know any magic at all, do you?"

The breath mixed with the fragrance of shower gel made Xiaosan lean back suddenly, and the back of his head hit the back of the sofa with a dull sound.

That wasn't the aura of a king, it was that of a "mature woman." Extremely mature, a terrifyingly mature quality... Even Altria, who "appeared to be a girl, but had actually lived for decades," couldn't match the "maturity" of the purple-haired woman before him. (Ace King: Cut my gun rank?)

Scathach chuckled and stepped back, crossing her legs in a different direction. "Third, regarding the title... I hope you'll call me Master. And if you're so out of control in front of the Queen of Shadow Country, you'll probably die instantly if you encounter something like a succubus."

Takashi was speechless for a moment. He lowered his head, trying to avoid Scathach's sharp gaze, but his mind couldn't help but imagine her white toes. He tried to remain calm, but his cheeks flushed. (Children are more sensitive, just like "a baby crying"...it's an uncontrollable physiological reaction.)

Scathach seemed to sense his embarrassment, her red eyes flickering and a faint smile on her face. She still kept her legs crossed, "Finally... tell me what your purpose is?"

Xiao San took a deep breath and forced himself to shift his attention away from Scathach's toes. He lowered his head, holding his chin, and pondered for a moment. Then he slowly said, "My goal is to end the era of demons."

Upon hearing this, Scathach raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "So, you want to be a hero too?"

Takashi San shook his head, his eyes firm: "No, I just... have reasons to do this." Takashi San didn't deny the idea of becoming a hero in his heart, but as soon as he thought about being compared with "an ancient hero who raped, plundered, and had a very high KPI", Takashi San instinctively resisted.

In his previous life, Kozo had read the Bible, considered a "world classic," as a teenager. Although it was decades ago, he still had some memory of it. He knew that the "Four Great Demons" he had to defeat in his mission were all mentioned in the Bible. If he ignored them, the world would be destroyed.

On an emotional level, Takashi San wasn't cold-hearted; he cared about his family and those around him. Morally, he would never stand by and watch someone in need. Those who earn a doctorate and pursue a career as a scholar never lack the perseverance to see things through. Takashi San was a man of action, always pursuing his vision.

Scathach looked at him quietly, a flicker of approval in her red eyes. Her tone remained cold, but with a touch of gentleness: "Good awareness. However, awareness alone is not enough. What you need is strength."

Takashi nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation, "I know, so Scar... no, Master, will you help me?"

Scathach didn't answer immediately. Instead, she gently stood up and walked to the window. Her back looked exceptionally slender in the light, her long purple-red hair swaying gently in the wind. With her back to Xiao San, she spoke in a low, calm voice, "Since you are my Master, I will naturally help you. But remember, this path will not be easy, and you may pay an unimaginable price."

Takashi clenched his fists. "I understand. No matter what the cost, I will not back down."

Scathach turned around, looking directly at him, "I hope you can remember what I said today."

Takashi nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with determination. However, just as he tried to remain serious, his peripheral vision unconsciously glanced at Scathach's white toes, and his heartbeat unconsciously accelerated again. "...Children's bodies are indeed difficult to control."

Scathach seemed to notice his gaze, "It seems that what you need to learn is not only combat skills, but also how to control your attention."

Xiao San was immediately embarrassed and ashamed. He lowered his head and said in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "I'm sorry, Master."

Scathach said nothing more, but just shook her head slightly, with a slight smile on her lips. She walked to the sofa and sat down again, her legs still crossed, but this time, she moved her toes slightly.

Xiaosan's face turned even redder and he quickly looked away.

"Go take a shower now," said Scathach.

Takashi nodded, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the bathroom. His steps were a little slow, and Scathach's words and previous actions were still echoing in his mind, and he was trying to infer the "morality and character of this Heroic Spirit." "Although I don't feel that Lancer (Scathach) has the same strong sense of justice as Artoria (Saber), I guess... she's not a bad person, right?"

However, when he just reached the bathroom door, he suddenly found that Scathach had followed him.

He stopped, turned around, and looked at Scathach in confusion: "Master, what are you doing?"

"I'll go in with you." Scathach still had no expression on her face, and there was calmness in her red pupils.

Takashi San was stunned for a moment, "One, go in together? But... isn't this inappropriate?"

Scathach raised her eyebrows slightly. "This is a world where demons are rampant. The bathroom is a relatively closed space. If something happens while you are bathing, I won't be able to protect you in time."

Takashi opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but found that he couldn't find a suitable reason. "But... this is really not very convenient, right?"

Scathach seemed unconcerned with his reaction and simply said, "In the Shadow Kingdom, there is no gender distinction between warriors, only life and death. If you can't even accept this little thing, then future battles will only be more difficult for you."

Xiao San was speechless. He knew that what Scathach said made sense, but he really couldn't face this situation calmly. "But... this is really a bit..."

Scathach didn't give him another chance to hesitate, and walked directly into the bathroom. Then she turned around and looked directly at Xiao San: "Come in."

Xiao San stood there, struggling internally for a moment, but finally he gritted his teeth and walked into the bathroom.

Although...Takashi San was already middle-aged in spirit, and it was common for him to be intimate and frank with Altria and the others, this did not mean that he had no sense of privacy. Exposing his body to "strangers of the opposite sex" always made him feel uncomfortable.

The bathroom was not very big, and the steam had not yet completely dissipated, and the air was filled with Scathach's fragrant body odor.

Scathach leaned against the wall, her arms folded across her chest.

Xiaosan stood under the shower, his fingers stiffly resting on the buttons of his clothes, and he was hesitant to move.

Scathach seemed to sense his embarrassment and sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can turn your back to me. But I must ensure your safety."

"Okay." Xiaosan nodded.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then turned his back to Scathach and slowly took off his clothes. The sound of water rang out, and the warm water washed over his body, but he couldn't concentrate. He could feel Scathach's eyes still on him, and the invisible pressure made him almost breathless.

The atmosphere in the bathroom became extremely subtle, with the sound of water and silence intertwined, as if time had been stretched out. Xiao San tried to concentrate on taking a bath, but the figure of Scathach kept appearing in his mind, and he felt nervous and complicated.

Scathach stood quietly by, her eyes still calm and sharp. Her expression did not fluctuate at all, but... soon, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was admiring Xiao San's body.

Finally, Takashi San hurriedly finished his shower, wrapped his body in a towel, and walked out of the bathroom.

Scathach followed behind him and said calmly, "It seems that what you need to learn is not only combat skills, but also how to overcome unnecessary shame."

Xiao San didn't answer. He knew that his relationship with this Servant...was destined to be difficult.

The night was deep, the lights in the room had gone out, leaving only the moonlight from the window. Takashi San lay in the quilt, his back facing Scathach, his body slightly stiff... He could feel Scathach's body pressed tightly against his back, her arms wrapped around him, completely enveloping the small body in her arms.

The soft touch and delicate fragrance made Kozo's heartbeat quicken unconsciously. His cheeks felt slightly hot, and he couldn't fall asleep at all. Although Kozo had a wealth of star experience, it seemed... he had never experienced such a mature female body. (Altria:??? Yukinoshita Yukino:??? Horikita Suzune:??? Karuizawa Megumi:??? Annie:??? Histria:???) He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but whispered, "Master, this... isn't a good idea?"

Scathach's voice came from behind, "Night is the time when you are most vulnerable to attack. I must make sure you are within my reach."

Takashi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his reasons seemed so pale and powerless in the face of Scathach's logic. He could only sigh helplessly and whispered, "But... I really can't sleep like this."

Scathach seemed unfazed by his complaints. She simply adjusted her stance and held Takashi tighter. Her breath brushed the back of his neck, bringing a hint of warmth. "Close your eyes and relax. You need to rest. You have training tomorrow."

Takashi closed his eyes helplessly, trying to relax. However, Scathach's presence was too strong... Her body temperature, her breath, her touch, all reminded him of his current situation. His heartbeat was still ridiculously fast, and all kinds of distracting thoughts kept surfacing in his mind.

"Master..." Xiaosan spoke again, with a hint of helplessness and pleading in his voice.

"Go to sleep and don't talk." Scathach's tone was still calm, but with unquestionable majesty.

Xiaosan knew that it would be futile to say anything more, so he could only force himself to close his eyes and try to ignore the touch behind him.

As time passed, Xiaosan's breathing gradually calmed. Though his heart was still turbulent, the fatigue of his young body eventually overcame his nervousness. His consciousness gradually faded, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.

Scathach felt the boy's breathing become even and steady in her arms, and a faint smile flashed across her face. Her arms were still wrapped around Xiao San, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, with a rare softness: "Sleep well, my... (two words that were almost inaudible)"

Chapter 95:094 Life with Scathach (Part )

Kozo dreamt that he was in a dark, small room, and the walls around him seemed to be slowly shrinking, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe. Yukino stood before him, her eyes unfocused, "Why...why did you betray me?"

Xiao San wanted to explain, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make any sound. He tried to step back, but he tripped and hit the wall hard.

Yukino pressed on, "Hey, Onii-chan, answer me..." Her empty eyes seemed to devour him completely.
