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

She couldn't find Artoria either.

She, Elsa, and Natalia had fallen into a coma after being ambushed by Morgan on the plane, and were only awakened when Minamoto no Yorimitsu and the others returned.

Artoria had already disappeared.

Irisviel naturally assumed that Morgan had also kidnapped Artoria.

When they returned to Natalia's safe house in Tokyo and were discussing their plan to rescue Lin Jiu'an and Artoria from the Linglongguan family, a sudden and drastic change occurred in the outside world. An unknown barrier enveloped Tokyo, and most of humanity fell into a deep sleep.

There was also a decadent and ambiguous magic permeating the air, with many strangely dressed and alluring young female Servants wandering the streets.

Although neither of us dared to mention it.

But everyone knew that the smoke had aphrodisiac effects, and that killing those strange women would make people feel hotter.

The group was completely unaware of the situation, and had no idea which being or what kind of twisted sense of humor would set up such a barrier. They decided to first send Atalanta, who was agile and had a wide field of vision, to check the situation outside, and then bring Tohsaka and her daughter back.

"Regardless of any past conflicts, at least we are not enemies now."

Noticing the strange atmosphere between Aoi Tohsaka and Irisviel, Natalia immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

Noticing Sakura Tohsaka cowering behind her mother, her little face full of tension and fear, Elsa quickly added, "Yes, not to mention that the Fuyuki Holy Grail War is over now, there's no need to dwell on past grievances in this situation."

Irisviel pursed her cherry lips and remained silent.

Although she still disliked Aoi Tohsaka, the wicked woman who killed her husband and corrupted Jiu'an, there were priorities. Ultimately, her feud with Aoi Tohsaka boiled down to a custody battle, and in the current situation, she didn't want to dwell on the past.

Besides, there are children involved!

Moreover, with Artoria no longer by her side, Irisviel no longer feels safe.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to start a conversation: "Do you know what the situation is like outside right now?"

Aoi Tohsaka was also aware of the current situation. When Irisviel spoke up, her tense expression eased slightly. She shook her head and said, "Sakura and I were resting at the hotel when we suddenly felt that something was wrong with Archer. I wanted to go out and check, but then this happened, and I can't confirm her existence anymore."

Hear the words.

Elsa and Atalanta were relatively unfazed, but Irisviel and Natalia, who knew that Aoi Tohsaka was a Servant, became serious.

They knew very well just how powerful Gilgamesh was.

It's possible that even the combined might of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Shuten-dōji, and Atalanta's three Servants couldn't defeat her right now.

How could such a being be taken down so quietly? Just how powerful was the mastermind behind it?

"Could it be the Linglong Pavilion's doing?"

"impossible."

Atalanta replied without hesitation, "I have fought against the Servants of the Linglongguan family. Although they are arrogant, they would never do such a thing."

Elsa agreed, saying, "I've observed them too, and with their pride, they don't seem like the type to do something like this."

"Could it be that..."

Irisviel had originally intended to talk about Osmandis, but thinking of that arrogant woman who declared war on the world by erecting a temple over Tokyo Bay, she didn't bring herself to say it. She figured that the Pharaoh was even less likely to do such a thing.

“Let’s go and form an alliance with them,” Natalia suggested.

“Saber is missing now, so I’ll do whatever you say,” Irisviel said with a wry smile.

"Don't say that."

Natalia comforted her, "You have more magic power than all of us combined. If we face a prolonged battle with the enemy, Elsa and I will need you to provide the magic power we need."

Although they were enemies for two days, their relationship has improved considerably during their collaboration in Tokyo these past few days.

The main contact was made.

Natalia discovers that Irisviel is actually quite young at heart, not very cunning, and very easy to please.

Irisviel also discovered that Natalia was a very nice person, straightforward and not a bad person.

Artoria had no possessiveness towards Lin Jiu'an. Apart from a few people she disliked, anyone could sleep with Lin Jiu'an. Although Minamoto no Yorimitsu was possessive, Artoria had no intention of competing with her for him. She just wanted to eat him regularly. And she really couldn't bring herself to dislike Irisviel's personality.

The four of them have spent the last few days together.

They increasingly felt that after taking Lin Jiu'an away, the five of them living together would be better than anything else.

"Yes, I can barely supply Atalanta with magic by myself, but it's a bit difficult to supply Shuten-dōji with it as well."

Elsa offered a word of comfort and nodded, saying, "I also think we should talk to them about it now."

Then, Elsa looked at Aoi Tohsaka and asked, "Mrs. Tohsaka, what do you think?"

Aoi Tohsaka smiled wryly and said, "I no longer have any Servants. I am already very grateful that you are willing to protect me and my daughter. There is nothing to complain about."

The four discussed it further and asked Atalanta and the others for their opinions. After confirming that there were no problems, they were about to set off.

suddenly.

Shuten-dōji, who had been lazily lying on the sofa with her eyes half-closed, sipping her wine, sat up straight with her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Atalanta immediately gripped their katanas and bows, protecting the four girls, including Irisviel and Sakura Tohsaka who were hiding behind their mother, behind them, and warily looked toward the living room doorway.

Atalanta drew her bow and arrow, and said coldly, "Come out!"

Under the tense and bewildered gazes of Irisviel and Aoi Tohsaka.

The sound of bare feet stepping on the wooden floor echoed in the dark corridor, but the casual footsteps seemed to toll like the death knell in their hearts.

Atalanta's bow was fully drawn.

More and more lightning snakes were wrapped around the katana in Minamoto no Yorimitsu's hand.

Shuten-dōji squinted, and his slender legs and white feet, which had been dangling outside the sofa armrest, stopped swaying. The wine cup in his left hand seemed to have more wine in it, and his right hand was loosely clenched as if he were about to grasp his sword at any moment.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

A girl with white hair and red eyes, whose appearance was extremely beautiful, emerged from the darkness.

"Does any of you know Lin Jiu'an?" Kama asked with a smile.

And the instant she uttered the three words 'Lin Jiu'an'.

Arrows gleaming with green light, longswords crackling with purple lightning, and poisonous mist resembling animal shapes all rushed toward her.

······

Just as Lin Jiu'an and the already dressed Jeanne walked out of the forest surrounding the Linglong Pavilion.

The thick, decadent atmosphere in the air immediately hit you.

Having just finished eating, Joan of Arc suddenly felt restless again, and secretly glanced at Lin Jiu'an, her face flushing slightly.

However, as long as Lin Jiu'an didn't personally intervene, she could easily suppress this level of influence. On the surface, she still maintained her usual holy appearance, and with her clean armor, no one could tell that her eyes had almost turned into hearts in the bedroom just now.

"Jiu'an".

Joan of Arc looked at Lin Jiu'an with gentle eyes, as if he were not a beast but her beloved child.

"Where shall we go next?"

Lin Jiu'an looked up at the sky, at the Radiant Temple that still stood above Tokyo Bay.

"There."

Sajou Aika and Gilgamesh Rinjuan didn't think they would fall into depravity.

However, although it was hard to admit, Lin Jiu'an always felt that the former was a bit unreliable, and the "Revelation" skill he had just obtained from Joan of Arc also gave him a feeling that this choice was not a good one.

As for the latter, Lin Jiu'an had no idea where he was.

As for Osmandis, when Kama invaded with Artoria, Osmandis clearly manipulated the temple to attack Kama. Although Morgan and the others were also within her range of fire, this also proves that she was not corrupted.

Even if they had already decided to devour each other with Kama, it would still be good to find more helpers before that.

"Let's go find Osmandis first."

······

Tokyo, which used to be dazzling with neon lights even late at night, was now deathly silent.

Under Kama's protective barrier, the people on the street seemed to have vanished, leaving only the cars lying on the street as evidence of their existence.

Joan of Arc pierced the chest of the alluring woman before her with her sword, and the woman's body turned into pink spiritual light particles that scattered.

The portion of the spiritual energy dissipated into the air, seemingly giving it a faint pink hue, while some flowed into Jeanne's body, causing her breathing to quicken slightly. However, looking at the empty streets that resembled a post-apocalyptic world, Jeanne paid no attention to these things.

"I'm sorry, Jiu'an."

"Hmm, why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"

Lin Jiu'an turned to look at Joan of Arc with a puzzled expression.

But seeing Joan of Arc's guilt reflected in the empty, ghostly streets, Lin Jiu'an immediately understood that part of it was for him, and part of it was for the people of Tokyo. If Joan of Arc hadn't stopped him, things wouldn't have turned out this way, and these people of Tokyo wouldn't have caused this disaster.

Lin Jiu'an didn't seem to have any particular feelings about this.

The matter of trapping him had been erased after several nights of sleeping together; after all, he had already become his person, and he couldn't hold a grudge anymore.

As for Tokyoites?

Even if they all die, it's none of his business!

"Alright, this is none of your business. Blame Tokiomi... ptooey."

Driven by magic, the woman in front of him was blasted into spiritual light particles.

Lin Jiu'an stepped forward and hugged Joan of Arc's delicate body, comforting her, "Blame your master. His revelations are all ambiguous. He tells you the news but not the specifics. He's like a riddle-maker, always pretending to be something he's not. He just needs to be taught a lesson."

"You're not allowed to say that!" Joan of Arc glared at him.

“You can’t expect a beast of original sin, which is inherently evil, to have any respect for the Lord.”

Lin Jiu'an shrugged, then pinched Joan's little face: "Besides, talking to me like that, Joan's mother, do you want to get punished again?"

Joan of Arc's fair, delicate earlobes flushed red instantly, and she shook her head with some fear, saying, "No, I know I was wrong."

Although there was no one around, it wouldn't be a problem if she were in the bedroom, but to her she was still outside.

Lin Jiu'an didn't really intend to do anything to Joan of Arc.

Although outdoor games are an essential part of life, who knows where Kama is looking for him now? It doesn't matter if he's being spied on by a beautiful woman, but it does matter if that beautiful woman is only thinking about physically eating him.

Just as Lin Jiu'an was about to make another joke to Joan of Arc with a smile, both of them suddenly stiffened.

Inside the houses at the front, back, and sides of the street.

They were suddenly confronted with an innumerable array of beauties, just like the scattered enemies they had encountered on the road before. These women were scantily clad, alluring, and possessed sexy figures. They exuded an aura of "depravity" and "lust," and their presence activated two powers within them.

"How to do?"

Seeing the suddenly appearing alluring female Servants, Joan of Arc once again loosely grasped the flag.

Lin Jiu'an was about to speak.

A dazzling emerald green light shot into the sky from the tall building...

Chapter 43 Joan of Arc: I was your mother all along!

Until it rose to a height where one had to look up completely.

The emerald light paused in the sky for a moment, then suddenly plummeted, scattering into countless bewitching meteors that fell into the crowd of alluring women, transforming them into clusters of magical light points filled with an aura of decadence.

"Complaint and document"?

Upon seeing this highly recognizable treasure, Lin Jiu'an and Jeanne d'Arc subconsciously exchanged a glance.

At that moment, a green figure jumped down from the height to the two of them.

"follow me."

Leaving behind a brief message, the girl with cat ears and a cat tail bent her long, fair legs slightly and suddenly exerted force, rushing towards the gap created by her attack. At the same time, she ran while drawing her bow and shooting down the few remaining alluring female Servants who had not died from the "Complaint Arrow".

"Jiu'an?"

Joan of Arc looked at Lin Jiu'an questioningly.

Lin Jiu'an glanced at Atalanta's retreating figure, which had already run more than ten meters away, and nodded.

"Follow her."

······

After running with Atalanta for a few minutes, they completely shook off those alluring female Servants.
