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

A dark figure suddenly rushed into the bedroom, reaching Irisviel, who was crouching against the wall, at a speed that even a normal human could hardly see. Without even glancing at Lin Jiu'an, who was right behind her, the figure lunged at Irisviel.

But just as Kiritsugu Emiya saw Irisviel completely enveloped in a dark substance...

Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils contracted.

"be cheated!"

The next second, a hand grabbed his wrist without warning.

"How can it be?!"

Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even if it might be a trap set by the other party, it was still within his consideration.

Under those circumstances.

His physical abilities, reaction speed, and everything else were at their lowest point. Coupled with the speed he unleashed with all his might, normally Lin Jiu'an would have absolutely no chance to react, and he could even retreat after assassinating Irisviel.

"Because I'm not human."

Seemingly noticing the confusion in Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes, Lin Jiu'an grinned.

As a "beast," he is not like a human with a fixed output value, where as long as there is enough magic power, he can have as much as he wants.

I'd even eat Artoria until she's stuffed!

Only when his magic power is exhausted will he enter a state similar to that of a human saint.

However, having just obtained the complete Holy Grail from Irisviel, Lin Jiu'an now has so much magic power that he can't possibly use it all. Even if Irisviel were to eat below and vomit above, it would still fill her internal organs completely.

Without giving Kiritsugu Emiya a chance to resist, Lin Jiu'an slammed him against the wall the moment he grabbed him.

Then his eyes instantly transformed into golden dragon eyes.

The dragon's roar shook the heavens, leaving the heavily injured Kiritsugu Emiya's mind blank. Then, Lin Jiu'an directly activated the "Devour" power!

A dark substance spread from Lin Jiu'an's arm, enveloping Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu struggled, but with Lin Jiu'an's punch to his chest, he completely lost the ability to struggle.

And so on until the pitch-black substance completely devoured Kiritsugu Emiya and flowed back into Lin Jiu'an's body.

Lin Jiu'an patted his stomach and let out a satisfied burp.

Although he didn't want the other party's memories and skills because he thought they might affect him, Lin Jiu'an was quite satisfied with just the ability of "time control".

"Nine, Nine An?"

Until then.

Irisviel, who had been in a semi-comatose state, slowly woke up. The black mud covering her body seemed to come alive and merged into her body, causing her to groan and her face to become even more flushed.

With trembling arms, he propped himself up, sat sideways with both legs on either side of his body, and stared blankly at the shattered wall.

"This is...?"

"It's over. Assassin is dead."

Lin Jiu'an bent down and picked up Princess Irisviel, carrying her to the bedside.

"Get a good night's sleep first, everything will be over when you wake up tomorrow."

"Ugh, um." Irisviel was indeed very tired. Lin Jiu'an hadn't treated her like a human being at all. Although she had good physical fitness, as a novice fighter, she couldn't compare to Artoria and the others, or even Aoi Tohsaka.

She quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Jiu'an tucked her in and then left the castle.

"Lancer, Assassin, and Rider have all left the scene."

"Looks like you're getting anxious."

The souls of the departing Servants didn't even enter Irisviel's "Little Grail" as usual; instead, they were directly snatched away by the dark will beneath Fuyuki.

While observing the situation on Rin Tohsaka's side.

Lin Jiu'an hurried towards that direction, and just as he arrived at the castle gate...

Stopped suddenly.

He frowned and looked towards the forest.

"Who?"

A rustling sound came from the forest, and the figure, making no attempt to conceal itself, staggered out of the woods.

"berserker?"

Lin Jiu'an looked at Minamoto no Yorimitsu with surprise, his breath weak and clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

He quickly walked up to her and helped her up as she was about to fall.

"How did you get hurt like this?"

"Yes, Master."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's face showed a look of joy that brought tears to his eyes, and he hugged Lin Jiu'an tightly.

"I'm sorry, Master. It's my fault. I couldn't defeat Archer."

Pressed down by two blobs of face wash bigger than his head, Lin Jiu'an's anger, which had just been vented, was about to erupt again.

“It might be a little difficult to say, but Archer is just too strong. It’s normal that you couldn’t beat her under normal circumstances,” Lin Jiu’an comforted him. “What exactly happened?”

"I'm sorry, Master."

Just now, when Lin Jiu'an saved Irisviel.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu approached Gilgamesh, who had just defeated Rider.

I got into a fight with her.

However, even though Minamoto no Yorimitsu had the magical support of Sora and Natalia this time, he was still no match for the powerful Gilgamesh and faced many dangerous situations, almost dying several times.

Fortunately, Artoria arrived in time.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Gilgamesh turned his gun on her, ignoring her near death, and Artoria didn't even look at her, the third party. The two started fighting as soon as they met, which saved Minamoto no Yorimitsu's life.

then.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed to sense his presence and followed him all the way here.

At least that's what she said.

"It's okay, you've done very well."

While comforting him, Lin Jiu'an struggled to free his head from the two snow-covered mounds that were bigger than his own.

He looked up, ready to offer Minamoto no Yorimitsu a few more words of comfort, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw the other man's face.

This woman.

Why do you look at me like that?

And why are you suddenly blushing?

"Berserker?"

Chapter Forty-Eight: That's not the contract I was talking about!

He felt Lin Jiu'an's face rubbing against his chest.

Smelling the other person's scent.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu felt his body getting increasingly hot, and his regained rationality seemed to be rapidly fading away.

"Berserker?"

"Master."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's gaze held both resentment and pleading.

"I know that a useless and sinful woman like me has no right to ask too much of you."

"but."

"Master, may I address you with a more intimate term?"

"It's up to you."

"May I call you Jiu'an or dear?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's voice was very soft and gentle, just like a mother talking to her child.

Lin Jiu'an, whose attention was focused on Rin Tohsaka, didn't notice the problem and didn't even pay much attention to how Minamoto no Yorimitsu addressed him. He casually replied, "Whatever makes you happy."

A joyful smile appeared on Minamoto no Yorimitsu's face, and he asked cautiously, "Then, could you not call me Berserker?"

"Ok?"

Lin Jiu'an then snapped out of his daze, looking at the scene from Rin Tohsaka's perspective.

He looked up at Minamoto no Yorimitsu with a puzzled expression.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's face turned even redder, and his breathing became more rapid. He shook his head and said, "Please, please call me Mother, is that alright?"

Lin Jiu'an: "?"

Seeing Lin Jiu'an fall silent, Minamoto no Yorimitsu hugged him even tighter, his expression showing a hint of sadness.

"why why?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed to have lost control of his surging emotions.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "Jiu'an, do you know how angry and helpless I felt when I saw you being trampled underfoot by that wicked woman?"

"It's all because your mother is useless that you, Jiu'an, have suffered such terrible things."

"But Mom was also very jealous, so jealous that she almost cried."

"Why, why isn't that woman Mom? It was clearly Mom who was supposed to form a contract with Jiu'an..."

"Lai Guang?"

Lin Jiu'an's throat moved slightly as he swallowed hard.

"Why don't you calm down?"

"I'm calm."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed to have truly calmed down after hearing those words.

Keep your head down.

She gazed at Lin Jiu'an, who was nestled in her arms and almost submerged in her magnificent bosom, with eyes full of love and tenderness, her expression growing ever more gentle.

But what's with those pupils in your eyes that are almost turning into hearts?!

"Jiu'an".

Minamoto no Yorimitsu stared at Lin Jiu'an for a long time before suddenly speaking in a voice so gentle it made one's bones melt.

"...Um?"

"May I?"

"What, is that okay?"

“Continue what happened before last night, and make a permanent contract with Mom.”

"Of course... No, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, what do you want to do?!"

Lin Jiu'an was startled when he was suddenly pushed to the ground, but when he saw Minamoto no Yorimitsu, whose face was filled with desire, he was instantly horrified.

"I'm sorry, Mom can't take it anymore. Jiu'an belongs to Mom."

She watched as Minamoto no Yorimitsu used magic to tear apart her and his clothes, causing them to drop continuously.

Lin Jiu'an was filled with inexplicable grief and indignation.

"That's not the contract I was referring to!"

······

The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously on the bridge.
