Super God: If I punch you, you will die

That feeling was very different from when I was led by the army to liberate various towns and cities and received the welcome of the citizens. At that time, they placed their hopes for the liberation of the motherland and the victory of the war on me.

However, Alma was different. She knew how Joan of Arc died and held a certain... akin to faith in Joan of Arc's existence. The tragic saint who vanished in flames... this seemed to be the standard "Joan of Arc" as it is known in the world.

"The impact you have on the world is actually far greater than you imagine."

Alma said that. It might be something to be proud of, but... something just doesn't feel right.

Upon realizing this, Ruler's mood turned somewhat gloomy.

From the perspective of "impact," it is indeed a fact that one's existence has spread disasters to the world.

Joan of Arc shook her head... Although she could never forget it, it wasn't something to worry about; she had to switch her mindset immediately.

That's all over now. If only I could still talk to him after he was engulfed in flames, I could perhaps comfort him properly.

However, that matter ended in the distant past. There is no solution, nor any means to entrust it to the future.

Even so, I feel immense regret that such a great marshal met such an end.

Ruler rallied and arrived at the fortress of Miranil. Although he had only been gone for about half a day, the gloomy atmosphere at dawn had already faded considerably.

Ruler stood in front of the city gate, and the androids immediately opened the gate to welcome her.

"Is that Lord Ruler? Has the situation suddenly changed?"

Her slightly stern gaze, the battle axe clutched in her hand... she must be the leader girl who commanded the androids yesterday.

"No, that's not it..."

"Ah, so you're here to see Lin Yan. I'll lead the way, come with me."

"Actually, it's not exactly... or maybe it is?"

Indeed, even watching for a short while can make one feel uneasy. Although Lin Yan has an intellectual and gentle personality... in short, he is the kind of person who, once he decides "to do something," will force himself to do it no matter what.

His Servant is Astolfo, a knight known for his recklessness and arrogance.

"After all, it doesn't act as a brake, but rather as a driver..."

It's not a braking device, but an accelerator. He not only condones Lin Yan's reckless actions, but he himself will also do even more outrageous things... that's the kind of Servant he is.

While they were lost in thought, the android leading the way stopped.

"Oh, this is it. It's almost time for the other androids to wake up, so I need to go and rest. Excuse me then."

"Thank you."

After watching the android leave, Ruler turned back to the door. She tried knocking, but there was no response. Was it still sleeping? After hesitating for a moment, Ruler cautiously opened the door.

To be honest, the room was quite messy. Clothes were scattered everywhere, and several empty wine bottles lay on the floor. A section of the stone wall was cracked—why was that...?

In the center of the room was a rather large double bed. Lin Yan, wrapped in a sheet, was sleeping with his face buried in the pillow.

"So you were still sleeping...?"

Despite Ruler's attempts to communicate, he remained unresponsive and continued sleeping soundly. Rider, though not physically present, could be sensed nearby; he was probably in spirit form.

"Well……"

Perhaps it's because of his android origins. Lin Yan's appearance, like most of the androids in the city, is androgynous... or more feminine, without even a single beard.

Although Lin Yan might feel a little uncomfortable hearing this, they do indeed possess a certain aesthetic appeal of man-made objects.

If the "Black" Rider Astolfo is as beautiful as a lovely blooming flower... then an artificial human like Lin Yan is like a carefully polished gemstone, and there is no difference in value between the two.

He was sleeping soundly. Perhaps he should be allowed to continue sleeping until he wakes up naturally.

Last time, they were both exhausted and only managed to get a short nap on that narrow bed. Now that he can sleep alone in this double bed, he should be allowed to sleep as long as possible.

Just then, Lin Yan's previously steady breathing suddenly changed.

"Lin Yanjun?"

He didn't make a sound, only his face contorted in distress. His skin was as pale as someone who had lost a lot of blood. Lin Yan's life force suddenly became so weak that Ruler felt a chill run down his spine for a moment.

"Lin Yanjun!"

Ruler frantically shook Lin Yan's shoulders and called his name. After repeating this action twice, Lin Yan finally opened his eyes.

"Is it Ruler...?"

Lin Yan spoke in a hoarse voice, reaching out his hand to her. Ruler hurriedly grabbed his hand. Although weak, he held her hand back, which reassured Ruler slightly. However, the situation was undoubtedly very serious.

"Are you alright? I'll treat you now..."

"No, I just had a nightmare. It was just a dream, so there shouldn't be any external injuries, right?"

After speaking, Lin Yan placed his hand on his heart, which had once belonged to a hero but now belonged to him. Indeed, as he had said, the cold sweat had gradually disappeared, and his color had returned. Since there were no external injuries, he truly appeared to be alright. Death had departed, but his soul remained here.

"Are you really alright? Could it be that some kind of curse or magic was cast on you...?"

“No, Ruler. This isn’t magic. This isn’t… magic.”

"magic.".

Lin Yan continued pressing his hand to his heart as he spoke. If it wasn't magic, then what was it? Just as Ruler was about to press further, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

Lin Yan, who was lying in bed, had already sat up. Therefore, the lower half of his body covered by the sheet should only be the length from his waist to his feet... This was not his imagination; the bulge of the sheet was clearly much longer than his feet.

"Lin Yanjun, what happened to Rider?"

"Ah, Rider... he's right here."

Lin Yan lifted the bed sheet. There, "Black" Rider was fast asleep, tightly hugging his feet. Despite the commotion, he remained sound asleep, not at all like a Servant who was supposed to protect his Master.

But compared to this...

"Lin Yanjun, what exactly is going on?"

Ruler's voice sounded several times deeper than usual. It was a deep bass voice, very close to her battle-ready state, that resonated deep within one's very being. If it were someone on their side, hearing this voice would instantly fill them with courage and high morale... If it were an enemy, they would surely be overwhelmed by her imposing presence.

Why did his own feelings seem closer to the latter? Lin Yan found it incredible.

"Well... I guess I took it off because I was still half asleep."

Lin Yan glanced at the clothes that had been tossed haphazardly under the bed after Rider took them off. They were probably from Serenekay; Rider had even changed into pajamas before sleeping. He had initially thought that as long as she became a spirit, everything would be fine, but after hearing this, Rider cried out, "Are you saying it'd be better if I weren't here?!"

Although Lin Yan's knowledge as a magician is relatively lacking, he is, after all, a life form forged with magic circuits as its core, and the quality of his magic circuits can be said to be first-class.

Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem to keep Rider in a physical state indefinitely...

"That's not what I meant."

"Ah."

very scary.

Leaving that aside for now, Ruler thinks the problem is probably that Rider took off his pajamas halfway... Lin Yan speculated. All the buttons were undone, revealing his white abdomen. His pants had moved down to his ankles. It seems he'd taken them off unconsciously.

Yeah, he's definitely not presentable; you could practically say he's half-naked. Anyway, it's probably best to wake him up first.

"Rider, get up quickly."

"Hmm? Hmm~"

Rider made a cat-like sound and sat bolt upright. Rider couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Rider squinted at its surroundings for a moment, then nodded as if it had grasped something…

"Uh-huh~"

He fell asleep like that. Having no other option, Lin Yan had to grab Rider's ear and pull him up.

"Get up, you useless Servant."

"I'm not useless!! I'm a capable Servant with a wealth of Noble Phantasms!"

The reaction was extremely violent. Rider sat up and began a fierce protest, swinging his arms wildly.

Good morning, Rider.

Upon hearing this, Rider immediately chuckled and waved.

"Oh, it's Ruler. Good morning... What's wrong? What happened?"

"There is, if you're asking, there is, but let's not talk about that now. Can I ask you something first, Rider?"

"Uh, what?"

Ruler cleared his throat with a cough, then pointed at Rider and scolded him:

"What's with this ridiculous outfit you're wearing, Rider?"

"Huh? Oh, when did you take it off... Is this really that inappropriate?"

Ruler nodded vigorously. While groaning, Rider first took off his pajamas, then changed into his Servant outfit in an instant.

"They've come back to life...!"

"Don't stand on the bed in your boots, Rider!"

"What a fuss. What does it matter? It didn't get dirty... probably."

"So, why is that?"

"Why what?"

"Why...why are you sleeping in the same bed as Lin Yanjun?!"

This time, Rider really showed a completely bewildered expression and tilted his head at a ninety-degree angle.

"Because Lin Yan is my Master, right? And therefore, I am Lin Yan's Servant, right?"

"But, even so, there's no need for us to sleep in the same bed!"

"You've slept like this before, haven't you?"

Rider spoke in a calm voice. *Clang...* Ruler froze. After her mouth opened and closed like a small fish for a long while, she finally turned to Lin Yan and asked:

Did you say it out loud?

Lin Yan nodded, looking puzzled.

"Because I don't think it's something worth hiding... or should it be hidden?"

"Ah, no, that's not it either..."

Ruler stared at Lin Yan with a reproachful look in his eyes.

"We haven't done anything shameful, have we? Right, Master?"

Strangely, Rider's smile seemed hollow to Lin Yan. Furthermore, Ruler's gaze towards Rider held no trace of a smile. Why was that?

"Of course, I also believe that you wouldn't do anything shady in such a short time."

"It's hard to say what tomorrow will bring."

Rider stared at the other with a challenging look and smiled, while Ruler stared back at Rider with a serious expression.

"Please don't do things that disrupt the moral order."

"I'm clearly a Heroic Spirit, aren't I? There are plenty of naked Servants in the world too, you know?"

"Even heroic spirits are the same! Besides, Lin Yanjun is still a child, so as a Servant, you should definitely help him!"

"Master is not a child! He can make his own judgments and act on his own; he's a capable adult! And what's wrong with you! You barged into our room first thing in the morning without even knocking; that's utterly shameless!"

"I already knocked on the door! You were just still half asleep! And it's already noon!"

Waaaaaah... Ruler and Rider stared at each other intently. Lin Yan raised his hand, trying to signal them to calm down, but they completely ignored him. It was truly pathetic.

In short, please try to avoid making any rash moves.

"I refuse! I only get motivated when I sleep with Master!"

"Where does this ridiculous fighting spirit come from!"

"Oh dear, is this a battleground?"

Just then, a voice rang out. Ruler and Rider turned around at the same time and saw Archer peeking out from outside the door. He was even covering his mouth and giggling... which was probably quite a rare expression for him.

"This...this isn't a chaotic scene...More importantly, Lin Yanjun, I want to clarify what happened to you just now. And 'Black' Archer, I'd also like to hear your opinion."
