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

Rama gritted his teeth and remained silent, but the tears that welled up in his eyes continued to flow.

Lin Jiu'an wasn't in a hurry. It seemed like it wasn't three minutes, but three hours. But even though this attack was slow for ordinary people, it felt to Luo Mo like bombs were exploding in a volcano.

"143, 142, 141, 140..."

Lin Jiu'an maintained a steady pace while telling Luo Mo the countdown.

At the same time, he would occasionally say, "To be honest, we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, do we?"

“You used to be on Fujimaru Ritsuka’s side, and I don’t get along with Fujimaru Ritsuka.”

"It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong, after all, they're all just trying to survive, so there's nothing shameful about it."

"But you ruined my plans first. I warned you not to mess with me and to go find your wife, Sita, but you didn't listen. So I have no choice but to go after your wife. Does that make sense?"

Rama clenched his teeth.

Not to mention responding, he could only hear Lin Jiu'an's words but couldn't fully comprehend them in his mind.

"Now that I've gotten my revenge, we're even."

"Isn't your wish upon the Holy Grail to lift the curse between you and Sita, so that you can be together again?"

"Although you can't be husband and wife now, and I personally don't support lesbian relationships within the harem, can't you still be sisters? You were husband and wife in your past life, and you can be sisters in this life. The two of you can serve me together, and why can't you create a lie?"

"Rama? Rama, if you can still speak, please answer me."

"How many seconds has it been?" Rama asked in a trembling voice, as if he were about to cry.

"Fifty-eight seconds."

Are there 58 seconds left?

Rama wore a silly, relieved smile.

Great.

Only one minute left!

If I just hold on for one more minute, I can rescue Siddhartha and take that demon with me!

Sita, wait for me!

Chapter Twenty-One: A Couple Completely Degraded, Fujimaru Ritsuka's Counterattack

Lin Jiu'an's attacks remained the same as before.

He spoke at a moderate pace, but he didn't say anything more. Without his words, and perhaps to distract himself, Luo Mo, who had been struggling to resist Lin Jiu'an's attacks, became increasingly confused and began to have wild thoughts.

—Do I really need to win?

Suddenly, this question inexplicably popped into Rama's mind.

She likes women.

Perhaps it was because Sita was born a woman that she loved being a woman and had never experienced what it meant to be a woman. But today, Lin Jiu'an made her understand what it meant to be a woman.

Will I be able to bear being a 'man' again in the future?

Moreover.

Even if I really manage to 'rescue' Sita, I'll still have to part ways with her.

Is it really that important?

He had already wronged Xiduo so many times. Seeing her so happy here, by Lin Jiu'an's side, even actively helping Lin Jiu'an to deal with him, he could tell that she really loved this 'monster'. Did he really need to 'save' her, even if it meant that one of them would die, and take her away from this man who made her happy?

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

Lin Jiu'an's countdown became clear again.

It was still once every two seconds, but the lazy sound was as clear as a countdown to the end of the world in Rama's ears, each strike hitting her heart and causing her unbearable torment.

"3, 2, 1..."

As the last '1' fell.

"Aa ...

Rama's head snapped back, and a mournful cry, the most pitiful of all, escaped from his cherry lips.

Lost.

I, Rama, have utterly lost!

From now on, I will become a slave to the Beast of Original Sin, together with Sita!

With this thought in mind, Rama's head lolled to the side, and he completely fainted. However, his face did not show any regret for not being able to hold on until the last second; instead, it wore a silly smile.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Rama" into the "Primary Fall" state and have received the reward "Blessing of Martial Arts (A)".]

······

"Is this where it is?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group stood in an abandoned town.

Because of the Celts' rampage.

The people who originally lived here have either died or fled. This once prosperous town is now empty, like a ghost town, with not a single person left.

"Yes, there is a sizable spiritual vein beneath this town that can support your summoning."

Dr. Roman's voice echoed from the void beside Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Then came Leonardo da Vinci's laughter.

"Because of the 'special spirit armor' that the Sixth Beast gave you, Ritsuka, you don't need to worry about supplying magic power to Servants. However, I'll need to trouble you to put in some effort when the time comes."

Hearing Leonardo da Vinci's teasing and emphasized word "effort," Fujimaru Ritsuka blushed.

They actually saved the world in the previous singularities in a very serious way!

Why does the whole style change the moment they encounter that scoundrel Lin Jiu'an? It goes from a serious, action-packed, world-saving story to something like the underworld!

"Will there be any problems?"

Mash couldn't help but ask, "Using the clothes provided by the Beast of Original Sin to provide magical power to Servants, could this be his conspiracy?"

"It's alright, it's alright. We've already cut off the connection between this garment and the other party. Even if we run into them, it won't be a problem. Besides, we don't have any other choice now, do we?"

"indeed."

The group discussed it further.

They then began busily preparing the venue.

Soon, with the help of Mashu and the others, the summoning array that draws magic power from the underground spiritual veins was set up.

"Ritsuka, have you decided which Servant to summon?"

"This underground spiritual vein can support about three summons."

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately recalled the companions she had encountered in the previous singularities, which she had already thought about on the way here, so she didn't think much of it.

"Martha."

"Altria Pendragon."

"Orion."

Fujimaru Ritsuka rattled off three names in one breath, then asked with a hint of nervousness, "Is that alright?"

These three Servants were either allies or enemies of their previous singularities.

None of them settled in Chaldea.

However, they all left their spirit origins in Chaldea, so that they could be summoned without relics when needed. But whether the other party would respond to the summons and descend depended on their own will.

"The other two have the support of spiritual veins and the spiritual armor you are wearing, so they can barely support their actions. However, the subsequent battles will put a lot of strain on your body. Of course, this mainly depends on whether they will respond to you."

"However, Orion is meaningless without a sufficiently large underground spiritual vein or the Holy Grail to support it."

"Then should we replace Orion with Sakata Kintoki?"

"This is acceptable."

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately activated her magic to perform a summoning ritual.

soon.

Three familiar figures solidified within the summoning circle, and Dr. Roman's somewhat excited voice rang out.

"All three Servants have answered your summons!"

"That's wonderful, Master!"

Mashu's eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

Even Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but clench her fists excitedly as she looked at the three familiar silhouettes.

These three were the ones she considered for a long time before deciding.

Martha, a saint in Christian mythology, and Artoria, a legendary knight king wielding a holy lance, are both quite powerful. They could easily handle Nagao Kagetora and Huyan Zhuo when they were under Lin Jiu'an's buffs!

While Sakata Kintoki's strength was much weaker than Orion, who was fighting in place of Artemis.

They were no match for Lin Jiu'an at all.

However, as the "Son of Lightning," his strong resistance to lightning will definitely catch Lin Jiu'an, who likes to use lightning against his enemies, off guard. Although losing Orion's absolutely powerful combat strength will greatly reduce the possibility of trying to kill Lin Jiu'an, at least rescuing Nero will definitely not be a problem!

It's still a bit of a pity.

and many more.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up when she suddenly caught sight of Scáthach standing quietly to the side.

He hurriedly asked, "Master, if Cú Chulainn knew you were there, would he come over?"

Upon hearing this, Scáthach looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, pondered for half a second, and then nodded slightly.

"Will do."

"Could we use this opportunity to lure Cú Chulainn into Lin Jiu'an's territory and make them fight?"

"Yup!"

Dr. Roman exclaimed with delight, "By taking advantage of Cú Chulainn's obsession with his teacher, we can lure him to Lin Jiu'an's territory. Lin Jiu'an will definitely not tolerate Cú Chulainn's invasion. When the two sides fight, not only will our pressure be greatly reduced, but..."

"If both sides are severely injured in the fight, we might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate them both in one fell swoop!"

"Ritsuka, your idea is absolutely brilliant!"

"Master, is that alright?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Scáthach in a questioning manner.

Scáthach smiled.

Normally, she wouldn't like to use such tricks that sacrifice courage and strategy, but would choose to cherish the opportunity to fight against strong opponents like Cú Chulainn and Lin Jiu'an. However, looking at this girl she particularly liked, Scáthach nodded.

"can."

······

"Rama, you're awake."

The girl's cool voice rang in my ears.

Familiar and comforting.

It gave Rama the illusion of returning to his youth, when he had just married Sita and often heard her cold voice.

“Sita!”

When Rama opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, all the sweet and warm memories in his heart vanished in an instant.

Sita was standing on the ground, lying on the bed and looking at him.

He raised his head slightly.

Rama then saw Lin Jiu'an standing by the bed, looking at him, holding hands with Sita.

"you..."

Rama was immediately somewhat exasperated.
