Super God: If I punch you, you will die

sword?

Lin Yan didn't like this way of thinking. The girl in front of him wasn't a weapon; she was a living being.

He frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed, after all, he didn't want to put too much psychological burden on Saber, nor did he want to be misunderstood.

A hint of doubt flashed in Saber's eyes, as if she had been asked something very strange.

"You didn't call me out for this reason?"

"Why can't it be different?"

Lin Yan didn't offer much explanation, but instead asked a question in return.

"You mean, you have no intention of fighting?" Saber paused slightly before speaking, seemingly quite confused. "But you're so strong, we'll definitely win in the end, why would you have the thought of not wanting to fight, Lin Yan..."

"I am willing to fight. I abhor war, and it has nothing to do with being strong or weak." Lin Yan noticed Saber's gaze as he said this.

"Oh."

Saber responded softly, as if she understood something, and her eyes flashed with an expression different from before.

After all, the two had similar experiences and seemed to have a natural affinity for each other.

"My master is you, Lin Yan. That will never change. Because a servant has no freedom to choose their master."

"I understand. Then I will be your master, is that alright, Saber?"

"However, Lin Yan, I will not allow my master to be defeated. If you have no chance of winning, then I will make the chance. I will use every possible means to ensure you obtain the Holy Grail, for this is what we answered the call for. Although it is unlikely that Saber will accept him as someone of equal status in the short term, Lin Yan will absolutely not give up on this matter."

He's not the type to enjoy master-servant games.

Saber's gaze remained firm and cold, but Lin Yan knew that the girl in front of him was not a killing machine. Deep down, she had a warmth that belied her outward coldness.

"I forgot to mention, we'll be temporarily cooperating with Tohsaka. The one we were with yesterday, Archer's master."

"It's Rin."

Saber didn't seem too surprised. Perhaps during their brief time together, she had already sensed the unique aura between Lin Yan and Rin Tohsaka.

"By the way, Saber, I have something I'd like to ask."

"Yes, what is it?"

"What's wrong with those clothes? They're completely different from yesterday's."

"These are the clothes Rin prepared. Since I can't turn back into a spirit, I at least don't want to attract attention."

"Oh.

"What's wrong?

"It suits you very well." Lin Yan said frankly. Rather than being coy, he preferred to say it openly, which was Lin Yan's style of doing things.

"Oh, thank you. Also, my armor can be freely attached and detached; I only take it off when wearing this outfit. That armor is something woven with my magic. It can be summoned when necessary."

This is indeed very convenient. If you wear armor all the time, you would truly be an armored girl, but it would also attract too much attention.

Casual clothes like these are better.

More importantly, wearing armor all the time wouldn't be convenient for daily life, and one should live comfortably in this world. Although, to other Masters, Servants might not even be considered living individuals.

"Thump?"

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from afar. It was Rin Tohsaka, who seemed to be carrying something very heavy and placing it on the ground.

"What?" Saber asked in confusion.

What are you doing here, Tohsaka?

Lin Yan looked at the thing that looked like a suitcase, then glanced at Rin Tohsaka with a sense of unease, as if a bad feeling was creeping into his heart.

Rin Tohsaka had completely recovered from the shock of 'just how strong this man is' and had now returned to her tsundere young lady tone.

"What? What are you doing? I'm going home to get my luggage. Because I'll be living here from today onwards, of course, right?"

"You're going to live in my house!?"

"Isn't this how cooperation works? What did you take what you just said?"

Rin Tohsaka's seemingly self-evident actions left Lin Yan completely baffled. Cooperation is cooperation, so why live together? It was truly incomprehensible; this behavior made no sense whatsoever.

"Ah... I can't refute this for a moment. What you said seems problematic, but I can't find any fault with it. A girl has already done so much. If a grown man were to hesitate and dawdle, wouldn't that be very unreasonable?"

Rin Tohsaka carried her luggage inside, completely ignoring Saber's astonished wide eyes and Lin Yan's somewhat helpless yet amused expression.

Where is my room? If it's not prepared, I'll choose one myself.

"Should we prepare a room for her too? Saber is different from my Archer; she needs space, so we need to give her a place to sleep. However, if you want to share a room, that's fine."

What kind of thought process is this? Although they are both Heroic Spirits, there is a difference between men and women. How could they do something so immoral?

"Saber is a girl!"

"Lin Yan doesn't like sharing a room with girls," Rin Tohsaka said to Saber, who had by then recovered from her shock.

Her expression was even somewhat complicated.

"It's very troubling, Lin Yan. A Servant is someone who must protect their master. They should be most vigilant when sleeping, and I can't protect you if we're not in the same room."

As expected of a Heroic Spirit, does she think it's okay for men and women to share a room? For Lin Yan, it's absolutely unacceptable. Although he's encountered women like Black Widow before, cultural differences still exist, so of course he'll refuse.

"What you're saying is making me even more confused! What are you thinking? Does this even qualify as a woman?!"

……

There was silence for a moment.

“A Servant is a Servant; there’s no need to treat them like humans. But saying this to Lin Yan is pointless, isn’t it?” Rin Tohsaka explained to Saber, seemingly understanding that a Servant couldn’t comprehend the thoughts of a Master like Lin Yan, breaking the silence.

"Wait a minute, Tohsaka. When did you stop calling me by honorifics?"

"Is that so? I didn't realize it. It's been like this for a long time, hasn't it?"

"I've had this feeling for a long time."

"I'll pay attention if you don't like it. Don't you like it?" Rin Tohsaka said quite naturally. But she really is a girl with a captivating charm. She's quite interesting.

Then she looked at Lin Yan, seemingly waiting for his answer.

"It's okay, do whatever you want. You'll get used to calling me that."

"Really? Then that's settled."

"Rin, I hope you won't interrupt. The matter concerning my room with Lin Yan hasn't been resolved yet."

"Well, that's how it is. But it's hard to share a room with Lin Yan, considering his behavior. Even though treating Servants like humans isn't a good thing, let's just give up since Lin Yan said he hates it?"

Hate?

Lin Yan did not make such a statement.

He didn't know why Saber immediately retorted; he didn't like it, and it made him feel uneasy.

Lin Yan only said he was troubled, not that he disliked it.

"Lin Yan, what are you going to do?" Rin Tohsaka asked.

"Lin Yan, I'll ask you one more time. Being vigilant while asleep is a servant's duty. I think you already understand your position as your master."

The two women stared at Lin Yan simultaneously, both seemingly eager to know...

"No. I'll prepare another room for Saber. I'll try my best to prepare a room nearby." Lin Yan resolutely refused; this was a matter of principle that wouldn't waver, and Saber's irresistible gaze wouldn't sway his resolve either.

0043 Command Seals [Please Subscribe]

"Think about yourself too."

Saber seems completely unresponsive, which is both infuriating and hilarious.

"I intend to protect my master from the perspective of a servant." Saber seemed unable to understand Lin Yan's intentions, and instead repeatedly emphasized her identity and her responsibilities.

"That's not how it works. Think about your own affairs! Honestly, if you don't understand, fine! If you keep talking, I'll make you obey even if I have to use Command Seals. Command Seals are magical crystals that appear on the back of the hand or wrist. They have absolute authority to command Servants and are the Master's exclusive mark."

A Command Seal is a symbol composed of three strokes, with each stroke representing the right to issue an absolute command; meaning it can only be used a maximum of three times. Using up a Command Seal does not terminate the contract between the Master and Servant, but it simply prevents the Servant from obeying commands. However, since being unable to control a powerful Servant is quite dangerous, and there is even the possibility of being betrayed and killed by the Servant, it is generally used only twice in practice.

Furthermore, Command Seals not only control actions but also have a strengthening effect. Issuing instantaneous commands or specific orders carries a high degree of force.

Furthermore, because Command Seals react with other Command Seals, they can immediately detect the presence of the other when the Master encounters them.

"It's very troublesome to use Command Seals for something like this. I've never seen anyone use their three Command Seals for something as trivial as not protecting themselves."

"You are truly unprecedented and unparalleled."

Rin Tohsaka said, somewhat speechless, and then shrugged.

"I understand, I will follow Master's instructions."

"Although there's a bit of boasting in this, I'll protect myself. You've seen my strength..." Lin Yan smiled gently.

“Well… alright,” Saber said. “Then it’s fine to stay in the room next to Lin Yan’s. After all, it’s my duty, you can understand, right?”

"So, where should I use as my room?" Rin Tohsaka picked up her luggage and walked away on her own, completely ignoring Saber watching her and Lin Yan, who looked somewhat helpless. She had made up her mind to stay here and would not compromise.

That being the case.

There was nothing else to be done, so Lin Yan wanted to introduce the house to Saber.

"This is a Japanese-style room. On the other side, there are shared facilities such as a living room or bathroom. If you walk straight down the corridor to the annex building, you'll find guest rooms. I think Tosaka is over there."

"There's no need for a tour of the house. Where is Lin Yan's room?"

"My room is over here. It's quite far inside."

"Then please take me over there. I have something I must keep secret." Saber said to Lin Yan, watching Rin Tohsaka disappear into the distance down the corridor, apparently heading to her room.

Lin Yan looked at him with some confusion.

"If it must be kept secret?"

“Come in. This is my room,” Lin Yan said.

The two arrived at Lin Yan's room. Saber looked around the room and then asked a question. For some reason, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it.

Is this your room?

"What's wrong? I don't think there's anything that could scare the calm Saber."

"No, rather than saying there's nothing here to scare you, there's nothing at all. Is this really your room, Lin Yan?" Saber asked again, her tone still incredulous.

"Even if I lied to Saber, it wouldn't do me any good. This is just a place to sleep when I come back, so it's natural that there's nothing here."

“Is that so? I’m surprised. I thought Lin Yan’s room would have more various things.” Saber said, touching the wall with her hand and moving it slowly, as if touching a precious, fragile treasure. Her elegant movements were like a painting. She was immersed in it, as if she could understand the memory of the entire building, as if she had stepped into another world.

"That's great. Although it's a very empty room, it's not treated carelessly. Although it's a bit of a downer, it's also a warm place."

"Warm? I guess so. It's because of the house's structure; this room is warm in winter and cool in summer. My dad even admired me for choosing such a good room."

"Hmm. A room reflects everyone's inner world. Although I feel uneasy about Lin Yan's mental state, seeing this room shouldn't change my previous impressions too much."

"And then? What is it that must be kept secret, Saber?"

"There are two things I hope only Lin Yan and I can know, is that alright?"

"It's fine if you want it this way, but if possible, tell me the details first. I can't tell whether it's a good thing or a bad thing."

"It's all bad. At least, I don't want the other owners to know."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll listen carefully, go ahead."

"Yes. The first thing is that I hope you can forgive me for not being able to fulfill the original obligations of a summoned Servant."

"The initial duty of a follower?"

"It's to tell the master who you are. Didn't Rin tell you?"
