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

"Then I'll make myself stronger and earn lots and lots of money."

Elsa looked at Lin Jiu'an.

"If you can't save all the children, then do your best to save as many as you can."

Lin Jiu'an said, "Make yourself strong enough and earn a lot of money, then build an orphanage and adopt as many children as you want to save as possible."

Elsa remained silent for a while, not continuing the topic, but instead asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"First of all, this is a topic you brought up with me first. If I had to say, part of it is because you've been so good to me, and I really want you to help me satisfy my desires. Another part is that it would be even better if you and Atalanta were willing to help me."

"People are as big as little devils."

Elsa seemed to have forgotten her anger and frustration, and burst out laughing again.

Although she was still tipsy and her face was flushed, she had clearly transformed back into the older sister Lin Jiu'an knew before, with a lovely smile always on her face.

"Didn't you just say you didn't make a wish on the Holy Grail? Why are you asking your sister for help now?"

Just as Lin Jiu'an was about to explain, Elsa hugged him again and grabbed him with one hand.

Lin Jiu'an's body tensed up again.

"Elsa?"

"Didn't you say you wanted your sister to help you solve this? Well then, come on!" Elsa's lips curled into a charming smile.

Lin Jiu'an took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "You've had too much to drink..."

"Don't you know whether I've had too much to drink or not?" Elsa snorted.

Although she is a girl, she has a very high alcohol tolerance.

She could drink with ten burly men in a tavern and still manage to get them all drunk before walking straight home! Even with a Heroic Spirit like Atalanta who would never get drunk, she could drink with her all day and then go to participate in the Holy Grail War at night!

Elsa breathed hot air into Lin Jiu'an's ear, but her tone suddenly changed, carrying a rare hint of shyness and dissatisfaction.

"Little Jiu'an, it took a lot of courage for your older sister to do this. If you refuse again, then forget it."

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Elsa Saijo" into the "Primary Fall" state. You have received the reward "Magic Power Boost (Small)".]

······

When Atalanta returned to the hotel, it was more than half an hour later.

"I wonder how Elsa and the child are doing?"

Upon arriving at the hotel room, Atalanta opened the door and heard sounds coming from inside that she shouldn't have heard.

Atalanta: "?"

Atalanta quickly closed the door, then took a few steps back to look at the door number.

"0503".

It was indeed the room she and Elsa booked today.

"So what was that sound just now?"

Atalanta's hands trembled as she grasped the door again and opened it.

Nothing had changed; it was still the same voice as before. But if you listened carefully, Atalanta could tell that it was Elsa's voice.

"Elsa?!!"

Atalanta rushed in and saw the scene she could not believe and least wanted to see.

"Huh, Atalanta..."

Elsa, who had completely given up thinking, never expected Atalanta to return so quickly. The shame of being discovered by her friend made her legs go weak, and she collapsed, already nearing her physical limit.

Suddenly.

The intense pain made Elsa open her beautiful eyes wide, her mind going blank.

"Do you even know what you're doing, Elsa?!"

Atalanta was heartbroken and immediately embraced Elsa, lifting her up in her arms.

But that sudden fall just now...

But as soon as she picked up Elsa, Atalanta felt as if someone had opened a window, and a large amount of fresh snow was sprinkled on her face and body. Before she could react, Atalanta subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked it.

Such a rich magic...

and many more? !

This is? !

Atalanta realized something, and her mind went completely blank for a moment.

"Aaaaaa?!?!"

······

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Jiu'an detached his mind from sensing the changes in the magical power within his body.

Elsa's reward was rather ordinary.

It only slightly increased his total magic power, which didn't significantly boost his combat strength. However, considering that Elsa's talent as a magician wasn't particularly outstanding and she wasn't an important figure, Lin Jiu'an didn't expect to gain much benefit from her anyway.

Looking at the serious-looking Ta-Miao standing in the house, and then at Elsa kneeling on the ground with her head down, looking like she had done something wrong.

"Actually, I started it, it's not Elsa's fault."

"This is not a question of who made the first move."

Atalanta's gaze softened slightly as she looked at him, but then her eyes returned to their accusatory coldness as she looked at Elsa, angrily saying, "Even if Jiu'an asked for it first, you can't give it to him!"

"sorry."

Elsa said weakly, "I drank some alcohol and I'm a little tipsy. Plus, well, you know, I was just a bit confused..."

Although Elsa had a high alcohol tolerance, she was still somewhat numbed by the alcohol.

Furthermore, after talking with Lin Jiu'an, she understood that not only was her chance of winning the Holy Grail War extremely slim, but even if she did win, she might not be able to fulfill her wish. Feeling depressed, and Elsa also knew that she had a high probability of being killed in this Holy Grail War.

And because Lin Jiu'an perfectly captured her essence.

In a daze...

"I left because I knew you could hold your liquor, but who knew you..."

Atalanta was still somewhat angry. If it were Elsa with a normal man, it would be one thing, but as a Servant, she naturally had no reason to care about such things, and she couldn't be bothered to care.

But Jiu'an...

"Alright, alright, what's done is done, let's not talk about it anymore."

Seeing that Atalanta didn't seem to want to dwell on the fact that he had applied a face mask for her earlier, Lin Jiu'an came to the rescue, saying, "By the way, Atalanta, where did you go just now?"

Elsa gave Lin Jiu'an a grateful look and then changed the subject, asking, "Atalanta, how did things go?"

Atalanta sighed. She was still a little angry, but since Lin Jiu'an didn't care, she, as Elsa's servant, couldn't say anything more. She could only follow the topic and say, "The young lady of the Sajō family is not against it, but she said she would ask for his opinion after the Sajō family's participants returned."

"The Sajo family? What are you going to the Sajo family for?"

Atalanta looked at Elsa. Although she also suspected Lin Jiu'an's identity, she had just returned and then encountered that incident. She still didn't know what had happened between Lin Jiu'an and Elsa.

Elsa explained, "Atalanta and I wanted to find other Masters to join forces with, so we planned to first ask the Sajō family Masters if they had any..."

As she spoke, Elsa suddenly seemed to remember something, paused, and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Jiu'an, didn't you say you were also a Master who participated in the Holy Grail War? You are...?"

"I am the Master of the Sajō family."

Chapter Fifteen: Shuten-dōji: Shall I put a collar on this concubine?

late at night.

On an abandoned street in the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

A demon-horned girl, wearing a purple kimono without a waistband and carrying a sake gourd at her waist, walked lazily in the darkness.

"Ugh, how boring. Aren't there any handsome little guys here?"

Suddenly, Shuten-dōji let out a soft "Eh!" and stopped in his tracks.

An arrow whistled through the air and landed directly in the ground less than half an inch in front of her.

"Well?"

Shuten-dōji squinted at the arrow that would pierce him the moment he took a step.

Looking up, I saw a green figure high up in the abandoned building next to the street.

"It's Archer."

Shuten-dōji greeted him with a beaming smile, as if he were seeing an old friend.

But without slowing down at all, he raised his hand and grasped a long sword, and with a slight push of his hind leg, he leaped into the air toward Atalanta.

However, to Shuten-dōji's surprise, the other party did not cunningly escape and retreat to try to keep his distance as usual. Instead, he stood there and bent his bow again. This strange behavior made Shuten-dōji instantly alert.

And just when she was only one floor away from Atalanta.

A figure suddenly burst out from the unfinished abandoned building, from the darkness where the moonlight could not penetrate.

'Dang!'

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and at the same time, Atalanta's arrows followed closely behind.

Using the force of the attacker's sword, the already wary Shuten-dōji was sent flying backward, narrowly avoiding the arrow and landing steadily on the ground.

"Huh? They're calling for reinforcements."

Shuten-dōji touched his face; although he had dodged it, he had still been grazed by Atalanta's arrow.

However, Shuten-dōji instead put her blood-stained fingers into her mouth and sucked on them, while still wearing a lazy smile as she looked at Miyamoto Musashi who had landed in front of her.

"Another woman, huh? I wonder how the wine made from your bones would taste?"

A look of disgust flashed in Miyamoto Musashi's eyes. Without saying a word, he grabbed his twin swords and charged forward.

Atalanta also quickly drew her bow and arrow, providing long-range support to Miyamoto Musashi.

Meanwhile, atop a building further away, Lin Jiu'an and Elsa stood on the top floor watching the scene of Miyamoto Musashi and Atalanta besieging Shuten-dōji.

She is the key reason why Elsa and Atalanta wanted to find an ally.

A few nights ago, while Lin Jiu'an was entangled with Morgan and Brunhilde, the two of them encountered Shuten-dōji. The two sides fought for two nights. It would have been fine if Atalanta and Shuten-dōji had just faced off, but the problem was that Shuten-dōji did not hesitate to bypass her and kill Elsa who was hiding.

Adding to the danger was the deadly poison that was impossible to guard against, putting the two in grave peril.

"Is Ayaka Sajou really your mother?"

Seeing that the two of them had successfully suppressed Shuten-dōji together, Elsa couldn't help but ask.

Although they confirmed Lin Jiu'an's identity as their master, they still went to the Sajō family home together to talk to Sajō Aika about it and stayed there until evening.

Recalling Sajou Aika's attitude towards Lin Jiu'an, and considering that this fifteen-year-old girl actually called herself 'Mom' in front of Lin Jiu'an, Elsa felt quite strange.

"what?"

"Why do I feel like your mother is more like a child?"

"It would be better if she were a troubled girl who needed to be educated."

Mentioning Sajou Aika gave Lin Jiu'an a headache. He sighed and said, "But don't let your maternal instincts kick in again. Stay away from her. She's dangerous to everyone except me."

"I already told you I'm not stupid."

Elsa muttered.

She could naturally sense that Ayaka Sajou was acting extremely strangely.

Don't even mention maternal love.

If Elsa were alone in a room with her, she felt that she would be considered a success if she could keep her composure. The girl gave her the feeling of a monster in human skin, who could devour her at any moment, leaving not even bones or scraps.

And the opposite.

Lin Jiu'an gives off a very comfortable feeling. Even though he's an enemy, she has a strange sense of trust in him, a feeling that 'he would never hurt her.'

Meanwhile, as the two were talking, the battle on the other side gradually intensified.
