Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

"Where do we go next? As far as I know, there are a lot of tough guys in Fuyuki City. We finally escaped, and if we don't want to get caught, we'd better make some plans soon."

"Romania!"

The Witch of Calamity clearly had a plan in mind. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest as if in prayer, her eyes filled with compassion.

"Over there, there are many people praying for the Holy Grail, yearning for salvation..."

Chloe paused slightly upon hearing this, then looked suspiciously at the Calamity Witch beside her, whose aura was noble and compassionate, like that of the Virgin Mary.

When did she become so kind?

But the next second, Pandora revealed her true colors, looking eager to try.

"How can we miss something this fun!"

I knew it...!

Seeing Pandora revert to her old ways, Chloe slapped her forehead, no longer holding any hope that her mother would change her ways.

"Oh, right."

At this moment, the Calamity Witch, whose excitement had just subsided, seemed to have thought of something. She raised her right hand, faced her daughter behind her, and gave her a serious reminder.

"Without the magic box, there would be no Pandora. Since I am a new person, from now on, I will be called by my new name—Justisa Ritzreich von Einzbern."

"Okay, call me whatever you want, so can we go now?"

Not understanding the meaning, Chloe crossed her arms and asked irritably, then gave a malicious reminder.

"If this drags on any longer and we get caught, I'll say I was coerced by you, or you want me to go back and report you?"

"Tch, they're not cute at all now that they're grown up."

Yustissa, whose mood had been dampened, grumbled in annoyance.

However, fearing the destructive power of the second half of the threat, the calamity witch wisely backed down and began to lead the way, officially embarking on a new journey.

"Well……!"

However, as soon as she stepped over Chloe, Yustissa, who had been lively and energetic just moments before, suddenly stumbled, her legs went weak, and she knelt on one knee. Her body trembled violently, her skin turned a bright rose-red, and she unconsciously let out muffled groans.

"what happened to you?"

Chloe, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and couldn't help but ask.

"No, ah... um... no, it's nothing!"

Yustissa turned her head, a stiff smile appearing on her flushed face, her pearly teeth biting her cherry lips, as if she were using all her strength to answer.

The slightly trembling words, interspersed with ambiguous monosyllabic words, seemed quite strange.

"It's getting late, let's go..."

Yustisa tried to regulate her breathing and seemed to have regained some strength. She raised her hand to hold onto the tree trunk next to her, trying to stand up and continue forward.

"Well--!"

However, as soon as she stood up, the saintess let out another muffled groan, her legs clamped together, her left hand pressed down three inches below her abdomen, her body trembled violently, and her face flushed.

"Crack!"

At the same time, the right hand resting on the tree trunk exerted force, forcefully tearing off a large piece of bark, revealing the white wood core inside.

Seeing this, Chloe, who was standing nearby, acted quickly and helped her mother up to support the swaying Juste, while asking her with concern.

You look like you're having a hard time. Are you alright?

"Um, it's...no problem...I...I can...hold on...ooh..."

Despite this, Yustissa's trembling did not lessen at all; on the contrary, it became even more intense.

So hot!

As their skin touched, Chloe was startled by the rapidly rising body temperature and couldn't help but ask a question instinctively.

"You have a fever?!"

But when Chloe looked up and her gaze met her mother's eyes, which were brimming with tears, and the few glistening strands of silk that slid down her lips, the precocious little girl instantly understood everything.

It's not a fever.

Rather, it's estrus...

At the same time, Yustisa gritted her teeth and looked back at the jungle behind her.

Yuan Zangshan's face was filled with inexplicable grief and indignation.

Couldn't you two have chosen a different time?!

Damn it... Waaah!

With the mournful cry abruptly cut short, half of her pink tongue slipped from her slightly parted lips and teeth. The witch, limp on the withered leaves, curled up and convulsed, seemingly enduring some indescribable shock.

"Well--!!!"

In an instant, the lips that had been biting the hem of her clothes opened, and a high-pitched cry echoed through the forest. With her long swan neck stretched out and her panting heavily, Yustissa resembled a fish starving on a beach.

Chapter 251 Father, We've Come to Fulfill Our Filial Piety (4k)

Sunrise and sunset, stars shining and fading, after an unknown amount of time, the long and fierce battle finally came to an end.

After a long rest, Yustisa, her clothes disheveled, her face flushed and pale, and her expression exhausted, with a few leaves on her head, her legs turned outwards, swaying, and holding onto the tree trunk, shakily got up from the ground. She looked back several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally squeezed out stiff words from between her teeth in grief and indignation.

"Livestock..."

Then, under the dim moonlight, the witch, supported by Chloe, limped out of the dense forest, quickened her pace, and fled this place of sorrow that had tormented her.

In the previous round, the witch narrowly won.

In this round of battle, the witch was completely defeated.

Just as light once again triumphed over darkness, turmoil was brewing across the world.

Fuyuki City, the Doll House.

Sitting quietly in front of her office, Aozaki Touko turned to the last page of her magic book, looked up at the silver moon hanging from the treetops outside the window, and the tightly closed door. She couldn't help but frown and mutter to herself.

That guy is out fooling around with people again!

Immediately, the Grand Doll Maker turned his gaze and looked at the red-eyed beauty opposite him, who had golden twin ponytails, wore a neat suit, and was quietly kneeling in front of the table.

"Never mind, Angelica, it looks like he won't be back tonight. Tonight's appointment is canceled..."

"clear."

The blonde, red-eyed beauty, upon hearing the command, glanced at the empty teacup in front of her, raised her right fist slightly, pounded her chest, and mechanically nodded in response.

Exquisite features, a cold demeanor, and a curvaceous figure—all these factors combined to create a beautiful appearance. However, the lifelessness in her eyes and the lack of expression on her face made her appear somewhat dull.

It seems that the drawbacks of the Ainsworth family's substitution magic are indeed quite troublesome.

Is it 99% emotion?

We can only wait for that guy to handle it himself.

Aozaki Touko shook her head slightly and sighed helplessly.

After the Fourth Holy Grail War ended, as agreed, Samael erased the millennia-old curse of displacement from the Ainsworth family bloodline. Darius's remnant soul, which had been constantly residing in his descendants, vanished. Julian, who was being corrupted, gradually recovered and regained his original self.

The gloom that had been hanging over the Ainsworth lineage seemed to have finally dissipated.

However, in this competition, the family made a big blunder and violated many taboos in the magic world.

In this mysterious world, though there may be moments of warmth, the law of the jungle remains an eternal rule.

With the demise of Darius's soul and the collapse of Ainsworth House, the Ainsworth family's power also plummeted to its lowest point, reaching its weakest moment.

Those magical families they had offended and organizations that coveted the substitution magic, upon learning of the Ainsworth family's true strength, sprang into action and bared their fangs.

They wait for the moment when this declining family lineage reveals a weakness, then they will pounce on it without hesitation and tear it to shreds.

In order to preserve the bloodline of the Ainsworth family and prevent her family from being purged by the Holy Church or the Magic Association after the war, becoming a collection of the Eighth Secret Society or a designated object for sealing, Angelica, with nowhere else to turn, took her unconscious brother and approached the Demon King who had a strong sense of contractual obligation, using herself as a second bargain.

Don't get me wrong, it's just an act of loyalty.

In exchange, the Demon King must protect the Ainsworth family.

Ultimately, an agreement was reached. Samael put in some effort to resolve the feud between the Ainsworth, Ise, and Reikokukan families. He then used his connections to send the awakened Julian, along with his infatuated childhood friend Beatrice, to the Clock Tower for further studies, thus expanding the Ainsworth family's network.

After all, even in the mysterious world, to survive in the circle, it's not just about fighting and killing, but also about understanding human relationships.

As for keeping Angelica by his side, Samael didn't have any other intentions.

Perhaps he can cure Angelica's emotional deprivation.

However, as a seasoned procrastinator and a master of slacking off, Samael was repeatedly delayed by other matters, inevitably causing him to frequently miss Angelica's medical treatments.

Fortunately, as a patient, the eldest daughter of the Ainsworth family was very self-aware and never caused any trouble at the hospital. She even took on the responsibility of working for Aozaki Touko for free, which made Samael very relieved.

only……

While pondering, the Grand Doll Maker at the table looked around the store.

First, she glanced at the two Einzbern maids upstairs who were taking care of little Ilya in place of Irisviel; then she looked at the doll-like figure in a simple kimono, sweeping the bedroom with a broom in hand; finally, she turned her gaze back to Angelica in front of her and immediately felt a headache coming on.

Tsk, why are they all dolls...?

Speaking of which, a room full of dolls, it looks...

It's so eerie here, but it's going to be open to the public soon, so it's time to add some people to the place.

Just as Aozaki Touko was strategizing about future business expansion and personnel reassignment, Angelica casually asked a question.

"Manager, is there anything else you need?"

As she spoke, the exquisite doll opposite her looked up at the clock on the wall, and her cold expression softened.

In another half hour, it would be her weekly special time to cross the line and catch up on her brother Julian's situation.

"It's nothing, you should go and rest."

Aozaki Touko understood the subtle change in the other person's expression, nodded in satisfaction, then lit a cigarette and waved it casually.

It seems the treatment is effective.

Great, once the patient has fully recovered, we can assign her more challenging tasks.

And, most importantly, they don't even need to pay salaries!

But then, the unscrupulous boss looked up at Angelica as she started walking up the spiral staircase, and couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a pang of regret.

Well, it's a bit of a waste of money on phone calls.

Immediately afterwards, the Grand Puppeteer, hoping to make up for the losses, had a flash of insight and asked a question.

"By the way, where's your job placement card?"

"I sealed it away. Lord Samael said that during the treatment, it's best to stay away from that class card and not use it."

"why?"

Upon hearing that what she had been eyeing had been snatched away, Aozaki Touko was slightly taken aback and subconsciously asked a question.

"He said that overuse of class cards would cause my body to be affected by the emotions and memories of Servants, which would hinder my recovery..."

Angelica paused and thought for a moment before answering seriously, a rare flicker of emotion appearing in her empty eyes.

"Tch, that guy really thought of everything."

Aozaki Touko clicked her tongue, silently complaining, then composed herself and pressed on with the question, unwilling to give up.

"So where did you hide this?"

"Ainsworth's Magic Workshop..."

Angelica, as honest as a blank sheet of paper, answered every question and readily revealed the location of her precious possessions.

Aren't you afraid of losing it?

"No! There are remnants of the Ainsworth family's defensive spells there, and they're built in another dimension. Without my guidance, no outsider could possibly find it."

The blonde beauty hesitated before answering, her face radiating an arrogance that seemed to run deep within her bones, brimming with confidence.

Meanwhile, at the ruins of Ainsworth.

"Buzz!"

In the center of the enormous pit, the space trembled, and invisible air rippled with golden waves. A naked blond boy with red eyes, less than 1.5 meters tall, stepped through the golden vortex gate. As if waking from a dream, he stretched, breathed in the fresh air, and curiously looked around.
