"Hmm, tell me in detail what this 'Non-Primate Paradise' is." The Crowned King rubbed the Snowstorm Horse's head to calm it down.
It's in such a good mood today, it doesn't want to get into a fight.

"That's right. Even companies equipped with top-notch security systems can easily steal security data if they manage to bribe key personnel. Even if they can't decipher it, they can still pack up and take all the equipment. This is indeed a conclusion that gives me a headache."
Sion said angrily, "This kind of banditry is not elegant at all! Who exactly is this enemy who brainwashed Goldruff and brought him under their control...?"
"What is her purpose? She used the connection with Gordolf to summon the other staff and all the Servants here via reverse summoning."
"...But the magical power required to do this is enormous! This is beyond the capabilities of the Holy Grail's magical power."
"This requires a virtually infinite... no, a completely inexhaustible [Magic Power Generation] system..."
"Although we now know that Goldrov has been brainwashed, what we must confront now is not the answers to past problems, but the problems of the future. Even though Goldrov's current attire is practically that of a comedian, it doesn't change the seriousness of the problem..."
Sion pondered the "Great Palace" and the "happiness" Goldruff had mentioned: "Now the problem has become even more serious."
“Well, at least we can confirm that he did indeed come to the Ooku.” Sesshouin Kiara smiled seductively, speaking words that sounded like they were about to devour someone: “Hehehe! Not bad, Tokugawa Goldrov? I have to go and save that kind of person.”
Her method of salvation was not that of a normal person; none of those she saved survived, and the lucky ones who did survive became mental patients, constantly shouting the name of Sesshouin Kiara in a frenzy.
If you encounter Sesshouin Kiara and need rescue, please quickly start a second chapter in your life. Otherwise, the feeling of being unable to live or die will leave you with no chance to regret it.
"Seriously, what Tokugawa Gō and all that!! How dare some outlaw use the name of the Shogun's family! I'm furious!! He's so fat, it's inappropriate for him to fight, whether he's wearing armor or not...! His horse will be crushed!"
Kasuga shook her head. "Goldruf being a general is ridiculous. It's so unbelievable. Since he's from a general's family, it's a top priority for Japan. I deliberately kept it a secret before, but since everyone in Edo has disappeared, it means that the current Shogun, the third generation Iemitsu, has also disappeared."
"I'm afraid my lord is also inside the inner palace. I must go and rescue him. Could you all lend me a hand?"
“I would also like to ask you all for a favor,” Parvati said with a smile. “Even if I cannot use my full strength, I can still appear like this to help you in the battle.”
“Miss Kasuga Tsubone seems to know the Ooku quite well. Her knowledge will definitely help us on the way. Not only in rescuing Mr. Goldruff and the others. I feel that I myself must enter the Ooku labyrinth.”
"I must go and see the culprit inside!" Parvati narrowed her eyes, a kind smile on her face; the gentle goddess was enraged.
Sion sighed, realizing that such recklessness was not a good idea: "...Although I do not recommend rushing into enemy territory before creating a safe campsite—we have Parvati as a reliable fighting force, as well as Ms. Kasuga, who is familiar with the inner palace."
"In my internal meeting, I've already voted to agree that we can charge in under these conditions."
"OK!! Then let's not delay, right? We should prepare ourselves! Fujimaru Ritsuka, Sesshouin Kiara, Parvati, Kasuga no Tsubone. Our next target is to storm into the Ooku labyrinth to investigate and quickly search for the kidnapped Chaldea staff! And the mastermind behind it all."
"I don't know what might happen. Please be very careful!" Mash warned worriedly. Since they could brainwash Gordolf, the enemy was very dangerous. They might even send the brainwashed Chaldea staff to attack their seniors.
"It's alright, it's alright!" Kasuga no Tsubone smiled confidently, her amethyst-like eyes gazing towards the inner palace.
"I originally created the Ooku! Even though it's become a bit like a maze, it's still my familiar backyard!"
"I see, that's reassuring. Hehehe!" Sesshouin Kiara chuckled as she gazed at Parvati within Kasuga no Tsubone's body.
"Probably!" Kasuga Tsubone added after hesitating for a few seconds.
If she really doesn't recognize the Ooku when it turns into a maze and gets lost inside, it won't be so embarrassing.
“…maybe…?” Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at Kasuga no Tsubone with an exaggerated expression. Looking at the beautiful woman in the kimono in front of her, she seemed to see Ishtar, as if Kasuga no Tsubone was the sister of the goddess Ishtar.
They possess traditional family skills, or rather, traditional talents, but they might falter at crucial moments.

"Hahahaha! Goldrov is fighting on horseback in armor...??? The horse... it must be panting and unable to walk!"
Hamaoka Azusa was overjoyed, slapping her fair and smooth thighs repeatedly. "Pfft, hahaha, Director Ju's witty remarks are so sharp, so sharp! I can't take it anymore, I love Director Ju so much."
"Lord, don't stay in Edo Castle as the Tokugawa family's wet nurse anymore, come join our diving club!!"
Hamaoka Azusa licked the salt off her fingers and looked at Kasuga Tsubone with the eyes of someone eyeing prey.
As a seasoned dual-wielder, she excels in both offense and defense, and she has already set her sights on the cute and interesting woman, Kasuga no Tsubone.
She hasn't
She'd already had sex with the goddess, but she'd never become her close friend, like the legendary confidant Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya. She didn't want to miss this opportunity!
"Wow! Has Shin taken a fancy to the goddess Parvati? Or to Sesshouin Kiara? He's really bold, not even wanting to let go of a goddess or the dangerous Sesshouin Kiara."
The blond hunk, Jiro, looked in surprise at the familiar expression on Hamaoka Azusa's face.
"Hehehehe. The boys must also want to have a romantic encounter with the beautiful goddess, right?" Hamaoka Azusa said frankly, waving the clothes in her hand. "Gentlemen! Quickly think of a way to trick the goddess Parvati into joining our club."
"With the addition of the goddess Parvati, won't the club have unlimited funding?"
"Oh my gosh!! Sister Zi is right. As long as we can persuade Goddess Parvati, no, I mean invite Goddess Parvati to come and have some fun here, let her experience this new kind of diving, maybe she'll really have a chance to join our club, even if it's just for a short time."
Kitahara Iori said excitedly, already fantasizing about diving with the goddess Parvati and teaching her various diving techniques.
"I would be perfectly content just to shake hands with a two-dimensional beauty like Parvati." Kohei Imamura has very few requests and is easily satisfied.
"...If it were Sister Zi with Goddess Parvati, that would be fine. But if you try anything, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by the goddess? And don't forget that Goddess Parvati has a husband! Her husband is Shiva, who could kill you with a single slap."
Yoshihara Aina smiled and told Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei the truth, urging them to eliminate the two idiots' fantasies and reckless behavior.

"...Neigh! Indeed, the new director, Goldruf, as the commander, really needs to lose weight. An ordinary horse simply cannot carry Goldruf in his armor."
Red Hare gazed at Goldruf with utmost sincerity in its eyes.
"Come lift weights with me, Brother Goldrov!! I can see that you have the potential to become a military commander."
"With the help of me and Brother Chen Gong, it will definitely turn your excess belly fat into eight-pack abs in just one month!"
“…” Goldruff’s face turned ashen, his blood pressure was sky-high, and he was almost driven to death by Kasuga’s anger.
"My obesity is due to stress...!! I don't need to work out or lift weights! As for being a commander, I rely on my brain; combat and such have nothing to do with me."
"And don't let my big belly fool you, my stamina is no weaker than Fujimaru Ritsuka's. Don't underestimate Goldruff, a race car driver!"
He really wanted Chun to see how cool he looked driving a crazy race car in a rally race in the mud.
So what if you're fat! Fat people can move around just as nimbly as thin people.
In times of crisis, the fat on their bellies serves as the best emergency food reserve, allowing them to give precious ingredients to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu who need to fight on the front lines.
"Damn mastermind, are you trying to humiliate me, Mujik Goldrov, by turning me into this persona?!"
"Just wait, we will definitely find your slip-up and crush you in the singularity."
Inside the Grand Labyrinth.
"That annoying Parvati, and that dazzling human Fujimaru Ritsuka!! Those darn guys all dodged my plan, it's infuriating!"
"Parvati, are you born to be my enemy?! And this Sesshouin Kiara, there's nothing here that's meant for you, get out of here, get out of here right now!"
“Damn Parvati, damn the gods, and Shiva! I will make you pay the price.”
Kama, in her girl form, angrily waved her fists; she would not be defeated, she would not be trifled with.
Just you wait, Parvati. Even if my plans are leaked ahead of time, I won't fail!
Kama smelled the scent she hated most on Sesshouin Kiara—the scent of desire for love, the face of the gods who wanted her to use her Noble Phantasm.
Fantasy Carnival Timeline.
"Could the being that Goddess Parvati sensed and felt compelled to visit personally also be from the elephant mythology? Could it be another consort of Shiva, or perhaps Arjuna, the sun god, or something like that?"
Rin Tohsaka rattled off the names of the Heroic Spirits from the Elephant Myth, all of whom were incredibly powerful beings. If they were to become Heroic Spirits, they would undoubtedly be top-tier beings.
Not bad, hmph, no matter who it is, they're not as good as Archer!
Gilgamesh and Shiva are no match for Emiya Shirou, who can cook, do laundry, clean, and fight reliably!
Rin Tohsaka considers herself lucky that she didn't summon the First Emperor, Gilgamesh, or Scáthach—servants who, while powerful, would never obey her commands.
She didn't want to be bossed around by Servants; if being a Master became as frustrating as Hinako Akuta...
She'd rather participate in the Holy Grail War alone, to hell with the Heroic Spirits!
"Could it be Miss Parvati's rival in love! Only a female villain would be so meticulous as to come up with such an awkward plan!"
Taiga Fujimura deduced this based on the methods he had seen used by female villains in the TV dramas he had watched.
"Generally speaking, male villains, especially those like Gilgamesh..."
They wouldn't even consider brainwashing or kidnapping. They just rushed over and brutally beat the hero to the ground.
"What a pity, Shirou didn't get a chance to appear on this adventure."
Fujimura Taiga believes that this is the perfect stage for the appearance of the evil nemesis, Kuroshiro!
I wonder if Kuroshiro still remembers her sister. I really want Kuroshiro to come over and have dinner with us.
I wonder what Kiritsugu would feel if he saw his three sons, Kuroshirou, Kurenai Shirou, and Emiya Shirou, tending to his grave.
The child you raised has indeed grown into a very outstanding man!
"...But as far as I know, the Ooku was just a place where the Tokugawa Shogun's concubines lived. Why would an unknown enemy occupy it? If the current Tokugawa Shogun was a woman, then besides the maids, there must have been... men who slept with the Tokugawa Shogun."
Shirou Emiya said somewhat awkwardly, "Goldluff is experiencing pleasure inside the Great Inner Palace, there can only be one possibility."
If it's not that possibility, it's like Rin Tohsaka saying she doesn't like jewels—nobody would believe that!

...................
With the help of the powerful Indian goddess, Kasuga no Tsubone was very optimistic and not afraid at all. She led Fujimaru Ritsuka and Sesshouin Kiara quickly toward the location of the Ooku.
The inner palace was inhabited by guards and concubines who protected the Tokugawa shogun's harem.
This was a large imperial residence built by Kasuga no Tsubone, and corresponding laws and regulations were established there.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, Kasuga no Tsubone, and Sesshouin Kiara arrived at the gate of the Ooku.
They quickly moved in along the five-meter-wide corridor, where screens were painted with cranes and a red sun, and bells with ropes hung on all the doors.
The place exudes a sinister and eerie atmosphere, making people uncomfortable, as if it were a haunted house from the Edo period.
Kasuga no Tsubone paused, staring at the unfamiliar surroundings, and exclaimed:
"Ugh... what's with this Imperial Bell Corridor? It's so creepy...? It's completely different from the Ooku I know!!"
Sesshouin Kiara took a deep breath, a look of rapture on her face. She thoroughly enjoyed the surroundings. "It's filled with a wonderful fragrance. What kind of place is this?"
"This is the Imperial Bell Corridor. It's the only passage connecting the Middle Inner Palace and the Great Inner Palace." Kasuga no Tsubone stared at the unfamiliar passageway in front of her with a puzzled expression. She had been here more often than anyone else, yet now it felt completely foreign to her.
"Although the Ooku itself has several entrances and exits, it seems that this is now the only place inhabited by people in the labyrinthine Ooku. There's nothing we can do about it."
Sion looked at the enormous building that appeared on the screen in front of him, the Ooku, which could accommodate a hundred people: "Even if there are other entrances and exits used by the servants—no, even if you look down from above, you can't see any abnormalities in the Ooku building."
"That's the situation we're in right now."
She looked at the map of the Great Inner Palace displayed on the computer, a structural diagram of the Great Inner Palace in pan-human history, comparing it with the Great Inner Palace that Fujimaru Ritsuka was facing now.
"...The space here is clearly distorted. The base is completely incomprehensible, and it is equivalent to a magical space structure that has been transformed into another world."
"To be honest, it's comparable to the technology of the Atlas Institute. No, the technological systems are too different to be comparable at all..."
The place was so tricky that it gave Sion quite a headache; how could it be such a complex labyrinthine structure?
She stared listlessly at the Ooku, which had been remodeled and infused with extraordinary magic. "Some mysterious principle, I suppose... How strange... This kind of principle should be my favorite thing... But for some reason, I have absolutely no interest in it..."
"Hmm, hmm. I don't understand why it turned out like this either." Kasuga no Tsubone looked at the Indian-style patterns that had appeared on the floor and complained, "There shouldn't have been any place using this kind of Indian-style design before."
"This is completely out of character for Tokugawa!! I want the designer to redo it!!"
Kasuga no Tsubone pointed to a deep blue door ahead, adorned with a gold handle—extremely luxurious—and inscribed with the history of the Tokugawa family. "And then—that's the Ojoguchi. The original gateway to the Inner Palace..."
Suddenly, the sound of clattering footsteps rang out.
"It seems someone is coming." Sesshouin Kiara's eyes lit up as she stared at the strange creature that had appeared in front of her. It was a strange creature with the body of a human woman, holding a pipe, a long sword, and a bow and arrow on its four arms.
Its face, which closely resembled a human's, had grayish-white skin, making it look like a corpse. Its eyes were dull and lifeless, and its lips were deep purple, making it look like a zombie that had just been resurrected.
"Ugh, what are these things?!" Kasuga no Tsubone was stunned. She had never seen such strange things before. How could these things be in the Ooku?
Looking at her feminine features, although she has four arms, her breasts are very voluptuous.
"Does she think of herself as a female official guarding the Imperial Pass?"
