Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

“You’re getting anxious.” Lin Jiu’an laughed and said, “You’re getting anxious, which means you also think so. You also believe that Luo Mo no longer loves you, which is why he abandoned you. So you hate him not because he abandoned you, but because the reason he abandoned you might not be because of public opinion, but because he no longer loves you, right?”

"Shut up! Shut up!!!"

"Don't you find it interesting? You're supposed to be an absolute king and a god-like ruler of the 'Rama Cult,' yet someone can spread rumors of your infidelity far and wide, and this ruler can't control such base rumors."

Tears welled up uncontrollably in Sita's eyes.

Yes.

She had always been suspicious of these things. Why did Rama abandon her again and again because of her reputation for "infidelity"? She had proven her chastity several times, but he still abandoned her repeatedly because of his doubts about her chastity, even abandoning her when she was pregnant.

However, as always, Siddhartha only thought about it for a moment before gritting her teeth and glaring angrily at Lin Jiu'an.

"Just give up on this idea!"

Even if we have no further connection, I will never submit to you, a monster born evil!

"Tsk, such admirable loyalty, it makes me almost reluctant to hurt you."

"What a pity, of all people your husband could have offended, he had to offend me."

“I have already advised him. It is clear that his pride is more important to him than you, Sita.”

Lin Jiu'an looked Xiduo up and down, then shook his head regretfully.

He didn't mind wasting some time with Siddhartha.

It wouldn't be bad to lock her in a dark room and see how long she can hold out.

However, this is obviously unrealistic. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Rama are definitely on their way and will arrive at any time. Even if he took Sita to Richmond's lair, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Rama will eventually follow.

He didn't want to become the villain Rama defeated in the myth to save his wife, or the background character who helped Rama and Siddhartha reconcile.

"so..."

Lin Jiu'an suddenly grabbed Xi Duo's cheek, forcing her to look him in the eye.

A bewitching purple light appeared in his eyes. When Sita saw that purple light, he felt drowsiness surge into his mind and his eyelids trembled.

Even though she kept telling herself not to sleep, she couldn't resist her body's most primal urges. And the moment Sido closed her eyes completely, she heard Lin Jiu'an's last, extremely nasty words.

“Siddo, your husband doesn’t want you anymore.”

······

An unknown western town in the United States.

into the night.

The firewood crackled and popped as Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling upon a sky full of stars, untouched by industrial pollution.

Some Servants were sitting or lying around the campfire, taking a break after closing their curtains.

Geronimo, Billy the Kid, Elizabeth, and Nero the Bride—except for Robin Hood, who was on night watch in the surrounding area, and Rama, who preferred to be alone—were all here. Upon hearing the sound, Nero, who was sitting by the campfire examining it, turned her head.

"Are you awake?"

"Ah."

I felt an unusually strong discomfort in my body as I woke up.

Fujimaru Ritsuka bit her lower lip in unbearable pain.

Although they escaped Edison's prison with the help of Geronimo and others, and rescued Elizabeth and Nero Bride who were being besieged by Celtic warriors along the way, the team grew stronger. Although Maeve had news of a planned parade, they decided to abandon the plan to split up their forces after discussing it, considering the danger and terror of the Beast of Sin.

Instead, they went to the prison together to help Rama rescue his wife Sita, while also dealing with the inherently evil beast of original sin!

Despite receiving help from many new companions, Fujimaru Ritsuka is still troubled by two problems.

On the one hand, they still couldn't get in touch with Chaldea.

On the other hand, there's this embarrassing outfit.

Although she didn't actively give it magic, it wouldn't stimulate her body too deeply or too intensely.

It only moves with her movements.

But this also greatly increased her physical exertion.

However, there were only two girls in the team, Nero and Elizabeth, and she was too embarrassed to bring up the matter with the rest of the boys. Besides, they weren't magicians, so talking about it would obviously be useless and there was no way to solve the problem. She could only tough it out.

Where is Mashu?

"She just said she needed to use the restroom. Hmm, I don't know either. Why don't you ask Rama?"

Servants do not need human necessities like food, drink, and excretion; they only need a supply of magical energy.

However, Mash is not a Servant in the traditional sense, but a pseudo-Servant that lies between humans and Servants, so she still has normal human physiological needs.

Thinking about it, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that she also had some physical desires.

It's hard to tell whether it's caused by something inside the body or simply from drinking too much water while traveling. Anyway, just treat it as the latter.

Fujimaru Ritsuka thanked him and got up to walk towards Rama's direction. Rama did not rest but stood some distance away from the campfire where they were resting, gazing up at the eastern starry sky.

That was the direction they were heading, and also the direction of the prison where Sita was imprisoned.

"Feel sorry."

Looking up at Rama, who seemed to be looking at his wife, Fujimaru Ritsuka said apologetically.

At the speed of a Servant, they should have arrived there by now. Unfortunately, she is not a Servant, so to accommodate her human speed, the group had to travel during the day and rest at night, which greatly slowed down their movement.

"It doesn't matter."

"Defeating the Beast of Original Sin and saving the world are the most important things, besides..."

He talked about his wife.

Rama's indifferent and aloof tone seemed to soften, and a hint of anticipation for the couple's reunion appeared in his eyes.

“I believe in Sita.”

Hearing Ramana's confident voice, a hint of envy appeared in Fujimaru Ritsuka's beautiful eyes.

As a young woman who had never had a boyfriend, she naturally longed for this kind of unwavering love.

"Miss Sita must be waiting for you with great anticipation."

Rama smiled, a rare occurrence, without saying much, but the expectation and confidence in his smile already proved his answer.

Just as he longed to reunite with Sita, Sita, who loved him deeply, was also definitely waiting for him all along!

······

Rama asked Mashu which direction she had gone.

Fujimaru Ritsuka walked for another ten minutes before hearing a noise. She followed the sound and was about to call Mashu's name when she suddenly shut her mouth, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of surprise.

That was definitely Mashu's voice, but it sounded a little different from her usual voice.

Her soft, seductive breaths were tinged with a distinctly intense, low-pitched panting.

And it even had the sound of water, like...

Could it be?

A somewhat unbelievable thought popped into Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind, and she cautiously walked over and peeked out.

Then they saw Mashu curled up beside a tree, her small hands clutching the lush green grass beneath her, her beautiful eyes misty with tears, and she was making alluring murmurs.

On her body, the armor had long since turned into black mud, which enveloped her upper body and surged, and two black mud clung to her body, attacking her from above and below, causing Mash to whimper in pain.

Really are...

Fujimaru Ritsuka could hardly believe her eyes.

The clothes formed from the black mud can be activated if infused with magic.

This is the conclusion she and Mashu reached after conducting private research over this period of time.

With enough magic power, this clothing can transform into a powerful ally to help them solve their problems. And with a significant amount of magic power, it can even turn back into black mud, just like Mashu is doing now...

In a sense, this clothing is an excellent piece of protective gear.

Even if it's an attack from the enemy.

When faced with physical attacks, the clothes formed by this black mud have excellent cushioning capabilities. Bullets hitting the clothes feel like a finger hitting the body at most, while magic attacks will be absorbed as long as they do not exceed the clothes' tolerance limit.

Mashu even tried that if they abandoned their sense of shame, the magic would even transform into their own magic!

But something like this...?

Fujimaru Ritsuka was at a loss for what to do. She understood Mashu's actions; after all, although she still persisted, she had also experienced that unbearable feeling and wanted to release it, which was not incomprehensible. However, she was now unsure how to face Mashu.

You can't just jump out and ask her what she's doing, can you?

After thinking for a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka cautiously got up and decided to return the way she came, as if she had never seen anything.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, overwhelmed with mixed feelings, was completely unaware that there was a tree branch under her feet, and she accidentally stepped on it while keeping her feet low.

"who!?"

Mashu's panicked voice rang out from behind, followed by the sound of someone hurriedly getting up and rushing over.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, you're such a big idiot!

It's one thing to hold everyone back when we're in a hurry, but at a time like this, they can't even sneak away without making a sound!

Mashu, you're such a big idiot!

What's the point of coming for an inspection?!

Why not just assume it's the sound of small animals in the forest?

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt extremely embarrassed, but Mashu, who was like a frightened bird because of what she had done, had already parted the bushes and saw Fujimaru Ritsuka with her back to her. Instantly, the wariness in her eyes disappeared and turned into more panic.

"senior?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around awkwardly: "Mash, good evening."

"Um, senior, just now I..."

"It's okay, Mashu. Actually, I came out because I couldn't help wanting to do that..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't continue her story.

What a shame.

Although it was a lie to take care of Mashu's feelings, it must have been too difficult for a girl who had never even had a boyfriend to say such a thing.

"really?"

Mashu, why are your eyes shining?!

Since things had come to this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka had no choice but to continue down the wrong path.

"real!"

"Then, senior, would you like to come along?"

Can these things be included together?

Seeing Mashu's beautiful eyes shining, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't hold back any longer.

"Um, maybe we should break up." Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully chose her words, still hesitant to say "I like boys" for fear of hurting Mashu. "There's no point in us being together, is there?"

Mashu was taken aback, then understood what Fujimaru Ritsuka meant. Her face flushed, she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the forest is a bit dangerous at night. If we share this outfit, I can take care of you, senpai."

This is a lie.

Mashu was too embarrassed to admit that she actually suspected Fujimaru Ritsuka was lying to her to avoid making her feel awkward.

We should at least see the senior comfort herself with clothes!

Otherwise, Mashu wouldn't know how to face her seniors in the future!

"That's it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, seeing Mashu's evasive gaze, he understood what she meant.

She didn't expose him, but blushed and thought about it for a moment. She realized that what he said made some sense. If she didn't know how to deal with it after discovering what he had done, Mashu would probably feel very embarrassed every time she saw him and would keep thinking about it.

To resolve the other person's inner conflict, one must...

"Do you really want to be together?"
