Chapter 70 70: Where Are the Beasts Doing Team Building in Snowfield City?!
Snowfield Valley.
Deep within the lush primeval forest.
Due to the forced intervention of the "Human Order Restoration," everything that had been mercilessly melted by the black mud began to automatically reorganize under the foundational mechanism set by "Alaya"...
Naturally, this included the "Snowfield Valley" artificial forest, which had once been completely flattened.
The pitch-black Sea of Life — symbolizing the "return of the Age of Gods" — rapidly evaporated and disappeared like remaining snow scorched by the scorching sun.
Morning sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, turning into golden rays of light dappling the forest.
Birdsong gradually rose, and everything felt harmonious and peaceful.
However...
"Fuu... ... Ah..."
Deep within this forest, the girl named "Sajou Ayaka" lay sprawled on the grass, gasping for breath as if drowning.
Beneath her heavy black-rimmed glasses, her eyes were undoubtedly filled with extreme terror.
Even though the Singularity crisis of this world had already been resolved, and even the Sea of Life capable of destroying the world had been purified because Tiamat had "shed her Beast stage,"
However... At this moment, she felt not the slightest relief at having survived the disaster. Instead, an unprecedented terror struck her heart.
Because in the memories forcibly surging into her mind, a very clear truth had emerged...
The golden-haired girl sleeping before her eyes was her nightmarish "younger sister."
The Root Princess connected by roots, the omniscient and omnipotent Root Princess — the so-called Sajyou Manaka.
But... Why?
When she participated in this false Holy Grail War before, she had been completely amnesiac and dazed. Why had she suddenly remembered her true origins and roots now...
"Because all the memories in your heart were given by me... My cute doll sister."
At that moment, a very clear and pleasant girl's voice quietly echoed in the quiet forest.
Sajou Ayaka's body suddenly tensed and gradually stiffened as she raised her head.
Before she knew it, Sajou Manaka had awakened from her long slumber.
She sat gracefully sideways on the back of the "Great Red Dragon," radiating an aura of calamity.
Beneath the hem of her pure white dress were small uniform shoes, and her soft white feet were wrapped in small white socks, swaying with her movements.
No matter how you looked at it, she was a pure, innocent, and pure girl.
But for some reason, Sajou Ayaka felt her body trembling uncontrollably.
She hugged herself tightly, bit her lower lip, and whispered, "Why are you here...?"
Faced with Sajou Ayaka's terror, Sajou Manaka grumbled discontentedly in a very languid and innocent tone. "I was just oversleeping at home at first... But then I suddenly noticed it was quite noisy here, so I came to take a look. Can you tell me why there's such a commotion in this boring city?"
Before Sajou Ayaka could speak with a trembling voice, Sajou Manaka let out a bored sigh and directly extended her hand to the girl lying on the ground.
"Enough, it's too troublesome to listen to a defective doll stammering an explanation... I'll just 'look' myself."
The very next moment, Sajou Ayaka felt as if a heavy hammer had struck her brain, and she lost consciousness.
At the same time, Sajou Ayaka's experiences and encounters in Snowfield City were instantly absorbed into the golden-haired girl's senses, as if a hard drive had been forcibly read.
The false Snowfield City, Fake Holy Grail War, and the heroic spirits of Uruk that had been summoned... And the ultimate cause that triggered this Singularity mutation was—
"I see... Tiamat, a god? That's why it makes sense that this scene wasn't in the 'Root's' records before."
Sajou Manaka nodded as if thinking deeply, her hand on her chin.
What the "Root" recorded was the "cause and effect" and "truth" that had already taken shape in this planet — and even the entire universe.
However, the "Beast" itself — symbolizing the destruction of human order — was a "malicious insect" trying to overturn these underlying laws.
Because of Tiamat's abnormal arrival, it could not be directly predicted from the Root's normal records.
But that mother... Why would that ancient mother suddenly cause such a commotion in this modern city?
Was there something overlooked behind Tiamat's appearance...?
This thought crossed her mind, and following the memories Sajou Ayaka had read, the figure of the black-haired young man quietly entered Sajou Manaka's perception range.
Upon seeing that figure, a confused and curious expression appeared in the golden-haired girl's usually clear, indifferent eyes for the first time.
"Ah... Eh...?"
As a special existence connected to the "Whirlpool of the Root," as long as she wished, all information in this world — the "information manual" of all life and things in the past, present, and future — would be opened to Root Princess without any hesitation.
In her eyes, the world was like a boring script whose ending had already been written.
However... In the chain of cause and effect that triggered the mutation in Snowfield City, this young man was at the center of the incident... His past, future, and even the concept of his existence were completely blank in the "Root's" records.
Staring at the young man in Sajou Ayaka's memories, suddenly, a dazzling yet terrifying blush spread across Sajou Manaka's perfect cheeks.
"Ah... There really is a light that even I cannot see... "
She cupped her blushing cheeks with both hands and whispered his name in a sweet voice, as if pulling threads. "Matou Yuu... Eh?"
...
The Singularity... Hasn't been corrected?
Hearing Romani's slightly trembling voice through the communication, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash were shaken, and an incredulous feeling welled up within them.
The first thing that came to mind was, "Is there a malfunction in Chaldeas's observation system?"
"Why... What?"
The orange-haired girl's voice immediately turned cold. Her eyes widened as she looked up at the rising sun and muttered, "The Human Order Restoration program has clearly activated. Everything destroyed here should be returning to normal under the interference of the world's laws, right?"
Normally, once the "Beast" at the core of the Singularity was eliminated, the defense mechanism built by the will of the world would function on its own and erase all the chaos and destruction that occurred during the Singularity.
But at this moment, Doctor Roman was telling them with absolute certainty that the physical dimension of Snowfield City had already begun to "rewind"... The Singularity hadn't been corrected yet?
Specifically... What was happening?
"...Is it because of that?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly seemed to notice something and suddenly raised her face, staring straight ahead with a serious gaze.
Under the slightly chilly rising sun.
The morning wind — carrying the unique chill of the desert — blew gently, and the girl's smooth purple hair swayed violently in the wind.
Her pure white, form-fitting long dress fluttered softly in the wind, and a seemingly casual ribbon accentuated her slender waist and ample chest, creating curves far surpassing those of her peers — breathtakingly beautiful and exquisite.
She stood quietly, and her usually timid and weak eyes now radiated a moist brilliance as she gently gazed at the young man before her.
Matou Yuu's hand was still frozen in midair.
Because of this sudden "surprise attack," his brain seemed to have experienced some kind of shock and fallen into a momentary complete shutdown.
When the purple-haired girl's lips touched his, there was a faint coolness, but the sensation was surprisingly soft and tender.
He felt her warm, beautiful body in his arms and the breathtaking sensation brought by her forcibly pressed lips.
In the faint morning light, those purple eyes were still filled with their usual gentle kindness.
Just like when she was in the Matou household in Fuyuki City, she was considerate, obedient, and sensible.
But... Her lips were cool, yet when her soft body pressed against the young man, it radiated a surprising warmth.
The fatal charm of this warmth made one feel as if they would fall in love in an instant and forget the passage of time.
Therefore, in a corner of the ruins of the city that had just been forcibly repaired by the world's machinery, under the cold wind, it felt as if the entire scene of the world had frozen at that moment.
...
Tiamat was also frozen in the corner.
Her once-clear and adorable red eyes gradually dimmed in the morning light.
She stared blankly at Matou Sakura — who was immediately beside him, kissing the purple-haired girl without hesitation — and at the young man.
She saw the ultimate charm symbolized by the "magic" in those purple eyes and even the saliva exchanged in the midst of it.
That extremely faint voice resonated particularly harshly in Tiamat's ears.
There was no doubt that Tiamat truly did not understand what the so-called "fiancée" was.
In her understanding, the so-called "contract" was a sacred ritual in which one unconditionally offered one's magical energy and entrusted one's body and soul to the other party.
And now, Matou Sakura was performing an ultimate contract ritual a hundred times deeper and more intense than the previous superficial kiss!
...And right in front of Tiamat.
After an extremely long and heavy silence.
As if filled with a sea of stars, a terrifying rage that words could not describe blazed in her dazzling red eyes.
BOOM——!!!
At that moment, the "true ether" in the air throughout Snowfield City transformed into an extremely heavy substance, as if in a tornado. The previously calm sea surface was suddenly stirred, and a magical vortex formed at Tiamat's center, enveloped in morning light.
These torrents of magical energy from the Age of Gods did not drift into the air as before, but instead gathered around her and were violently compressed.
The entire world centered on Tiamat was instantly filled with an extremely high concentration of divine true ether... As if this region had been forcibly pulled back into the distant, terrifying "Age of Gods" in an instant.
"Not good... Is this serious——?!"
Ereshkigal in the Underworld seemed to have noticed something, and an urgent voice came from underground. "Hey!"
You guys on the surface... Can't you find a way to stop "Mother" from going berserk?!
She shouted anxiously while raising her face through the water mirror, but saw the two from Chaldea and the two from Emiya Alter all simultaneously retreating greatly, as if afraid of being caught in the water.
"You all——"
Ereshkigal couldn't hide her irritation and said angrily, "Don't you understand what this means?!"
With such high-purity divine true ether, if she didn't stop it, ordinary people in the modern world would have no chance of surviving...
Haa!
One was the guardian of the deterrent, and the other was Chaldea, which saved human order. How could they back down at a time like this——
Before she could finish speaking, Emiya Alter stared blankly ahead and quietly sighed. "Coming?"
"..."
Ereshkigal's voice suddenly stopped.
She couldn't... How could she stop an angry "Mother"... Especially over something like this.
After all, what on earth had Matou Yuu done to cause such an outrageous commotion?!
No matter how you looked at it, this "fiancée" beside him seemed like someone not to be underestimated…
…
At that moment, he felt as if a terrifying aura was drifting in this space.
Like a flame witch who had just tasted the forbidden fruit, Matou Sakura's beautiful cheeks flushed with a pathological red, and her breathing quickened slightly.
She seemed reluctant to part and slowly opened her lips from the young man's.
Her captivating purple eyes still held a slightly intoxicated look as she smiled warmly at Tiamat.
"Even after shedding the Beast shell, you still maintain the status of a creator god in the modern age... If you're serious, this world might collapse in an instant, right?"
"But... Wouldn't 'Gaia' and 'Alaya' both refuse to accept this?"
Matou Sakura... No — more precisely, at this moment, the master personality hidden within the girl's heart spoke in an unbelievably sweet voice.
"After all... Kissing your own fiancée is no problem."
She paused for a moment, then said quietly, "That's right... Mother~?"
Feeling the girl once again leaning limply in his arms, Matou Yuu maintained a gentle smile on the surface, but deep in his heart, he was already shaken.
He now felt like a weathered sculpture, with a small soul deep within his body letting out a low growl.
Right now, he would rather face ORT again or fight the Grand Servant once more than deal with such a terrifying situation.
ORT could be stored in a Reality Marble, and the crowned heroic spirits could be barely dealt with through a contract with Crimson Moon... But when it came to emotional issues, he now had no idea where to even begin.
At that time, right after being adopted by the old worm Matou Zouken, the old man had personally arranged this childhood engagement.
Knowing full well how terrifying Matou Sakura would become after turning to darkness, Matou Yuu had spent many years trying to warm her in every way possible, hoping to bring a ray of light into the girl's dark inner world.
In the end, he succeeded.
However, one day, when he noticed the girl unconsciously leaning on his shoulder with a gentle movement, he realized something was wrong.
He had truly succeeded in shining a ray of light into Matou Sakura's dark life... But it was that accursed white moonlight.
Abandoned by her real father in childhood and adopted into another Magus family, her apparent obedience and sensibility were nothing more than a facade... In truth, the girl's heart was not as gentle as it appeared on the surface.
This secret — known only to Matou Yuu... Only when facing him did the girl shed her disguise and reveal an extremely obsessive side.
That was why, ever since he entered the Clock Tower to study, the girl had poured all her love, hope, and obsession into Matou Yuu.
A heavy love that poured all of one's love and desire into a single person... In a sense, her love for Tiamat was surprisingly similar.
This kind of love carried a distorted weight... Perhaps it already held the potential to become a Beast.
Despite such thoughts, Matou Yuu continued to take deep breaths and desperately tried to maintain his composure by shaking his head vigorously.
Calm down... Take a deep breath. The situation isn't irreparably bad.
Tiamat lacked modern common sense. She had no understanding of what a "kiss" meant in human society, nor did she have the concept of a "marriage contract."
If he could quickly resolve the situation now, it wouldn't be too late — that was the only way to break through the current deadlock...
He was a Magus who could "seal" two large Ultimate Ones inside his body. What meaning could a small quarrel between Tiamat and Sakura possibly have?
Matou Yuu took a deep breath and smiled. "Um, Sakura——"
"Onii-sama, there's no place for you to interfere, so just watch quietly."
Matou Sakura interrupted his words with a bright smile.
Matou Yuu's smile froze as he looked at the blue-haired goddess in the air. "Tiamat——"
"Yuu, don't interfere."
"But——"
He wanted to say more, but the very next moment, two pairs of eyes shot sharp glances at him.
Matou Yuu's voice suddenly stopped.
In the distance, those who had already planned to "return" — the two from Chaldea and Emiya Alter — also fell silent.
"That's... Matou-san, Goddess Tiamat——"
Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka forced a smile and mustered the courage to speak, the magical vortex surrounding Tiamat suddenly stopped without warning.
And when she raised her beautiful face once again,
Rumble Rumble Rumble Rumble!!
With a terrifying roar that tore through the sky, a thousand times more powerful golden magical energy overflowed from Tiamat's body like a Milky Way.
Matou had sensed something was wrong from the beginning and instinctively turned to look at Zelretch standing at the edge. He was sending him a wild hint with his eyes.
However, this Second Magician — who always loved watching the fun — merely shifted his gaze slightly at the corner of his eye.
He raised his eyebrows and gave the young man a deeply sympathetic look, as if saying, "Young man, accept my condolences." Then he resolutely raised the Jewel Sword in his hand and tore open the parallel world space.
"Kid, I've already helped all the old men I should help... My old bones can't handle something like this... You'd better deal with it yourself."
As if sensing danger, this Second Magician chose to quietly disappear without hesitation.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously with the opening of the parallel gate of the Second Magic, on the opposite side, magical energy symbolizing extreme decadence and desire — emitted from the "sickle" — completely erupted from Matou Sakura.
In truth, there should have been extremely strong physical and conceptual barriers between parallel worlds that even gods could not easily cross.
However, in that brief crack when Zelretch opened the kaleidoscope gate——
The magical concept called the "Beast of Love" — like a spreading sweet, poisonous miasma — quietly slipped through that ephemeral parallel gate and seeped into the unknown dimension beyond the world's boundary.
And——
In the deepest part of the spiritual particle's imaginary world, the "Sea of the Moon."
Within the vast, deep abyss of stars filled with endless chaos and bliss, a colossal, exquisitely beautiful phantom seemed to have just awakened from a long period of pleasure.
She was dressed in a nun-like robe, a woman of abstinence, but her skirt and chest were boldly slit to the limit.
The jet-black fabric tightly outlined her full, breathtaking figure, and her jade-like skin radiated a captivating glow in the darkness.
Adorned with demonic horns on her head, her hands were clasped in front of her like a bodhisattva, radiating a suffocating aura where sanctity and decadence perfectly blended.
The woman slowly opened her eyes... Those were demonic eyes capable of driving all living beings in the universe mad and making them forget everything.
"Hehehe... As if she had sensed the faint yet shared breath drifting from that crack, a bone-chillingly seductive smile leaked from the woman's lips, and her voice was filled with sublime joy and consideration.
"I see... The great god of love has actually hidden in the desires of a still-growing girl and fallen into the trap of a pitiful parasite... She leisurely extended her long, white fingertips and faintly pointed at the parallel world rift that was about to close, a mocking smile on her lips.
"Instead of savoring the supreme pleasure of drowning all existence in bliss, one is pitifully confined to narrow human love... It's so decadent that I can't suppress the urge to swallow it whole."
"——My other half."
...
BOOM!
Sensing that Matou Sakura's magical energy contained the "principle of creation"... No — rather, a surprised expression appeared on Kama's face.
"Truly surprising... If I hadn't intentionally kept my power within the range of a Servant to protect this world, just the spread of your magical energy would instantly turn this city into the Age of Gods, right?"
"But... If you really do that, wouldn't 'Alaya' probably impose regulatory restrictions..."
While watching the overwhelming wave of life rushing from the sky, Kama not only did not retreat but smiled sweetly.
Her slender fingertips gently tapped the void, and in an instant, lotuses radiating corrupt dark purple light quietly bloomed above the desert.
Two different magical forces violently clashed in the air!
Not far away, the people of Chaldea stared at the terrifying scene in the sky, and a chill ran down their spines.
Just a few hours ago, they had finally resolved humanity's moral crisis by sacrificing many titles.
But now... Humanity wouldn't be destroyed over a teenager's romantic dispute, right?!
Faced with the suffocating magical storm, Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly rushed to the young man's side and said, "Matou-san, please find a way to persuade them... If this continues, not only this city but the entire physical laws of the present world will collapse."
I really want to stop it... But the problem was that it wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to or not.
On the surface, Matou Yuu tried to stay calm, but deep in his heart, a profound sense of helplessness had already welled up.
It was important to understand that after repelling multiple Grand heroic spirits and stopping Tiamat's rampage, his body and magical energy had already reached their limit.
He really wanted to stop it right now... It was simply unrealistic.
Think quickly, stay calm... Is there another way to break through the deadlock...?
At this critical moment, several lines of glowing blue system text quietly appeared before his eyes.
[Ping! Backyard fire detected!]
[System Notification: As an excellent keeper, it is inevitable for pets to occasionally quarrel over 'territorial sovereignty.' Please demonstrate the authority of the head of the household and properly handle the relationship between the pets!]
[Current Emergency Quest: Immediately mediate the fatal dispute between the rare pet "Deep Sea Spirit" and the unknown foreign species "Extremely Loveless Wild Purple Lotus Pot Plant"!]
[Quest Reward: "Portable Hot Bed" Expansion Pack x1 (Space Limit Doubled)!]
This system quest looked easy, but could resolving a conflict at this level really be called "handling pet trouble"? It wasn't that simple...
Matou Yuu couldn't help but complain inwardly.
However, he immediately seemed to notice something, and his eyes slightly brightened.
Wait a minute... Right now, he really couldn't stop these two... But according to the system's logic, there seemed to be only one way to break through the deadlock—
Although success wasn't guaranteed... But he had no choice but to try!
Matou Yuu secretly gritted his teeth and unhesitatingly unleashed the Reality Marble toward Tiamat floating in the air.
—Portable Hot Bed!
Boom!
Accompanied by spatial distortion, the void surrounding Tiamat twisted eerily in an instant, and a spatial barrier quietly deployed, trying to forcibly envelop the enraged Mother Goddess.
Given Tiamat's status, if she wished, she could easily break through this essential wall.
However, she seemed to sense something and slightly tilted her head, instinctively looking down at the young man below.
What appeared in her red eyes was Matou Yuu's exhausted face, which had now completely lost its color.
"Ah..."
Seeing the weakened young man on the verge of collapse, Tiamat's instinct to protect her child and her worry ultimately won out.
She let out a low groan and was completely enveloped by the "Portable Hot Bed."
Eventually, the woman's figure quietly disappeared into the air.
At this sight, Matou Sakura stopped moving high up and stared at the young man with a surprised expression.
Not only could he activate an essential barrier as a Magus, but he could even seal the Mother Goddess of Creation... Eh?
It seemed "Onii-sama" still had many secrets...
Meanwhile, on the other side, as the violent magical storm finally subsided, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash's legs gave out, and the two let out long sighs of relief.
"It finally stopped..." Mash wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling completely exhausted both physically and mentally, as if she had just finished an intense battle in a few minutes.
Seeing this, Emiya Alter also secretly let out a sigh of relief.
However, when his gaze casually turned toward Matou Sakura, he slightly furrowed his brows.
With his sharp senses, he naturally felt the strange aura emanating from the purple-haired girl.
"Shirou."
At that moment, a young man's voice suddenly came from afar, and Emiya Alter was pulled back from his previous thoughts to reality.
He instinctively looked toward Matou Yuu, but the young man was smiling. "It looks like you're reaching your limit... Can you help me?"
Finally, he met Emiya Alter's eyes and sent him a hint.
Then, resolutely, he relinquished control of his body and allowed exhaustion to swallow his reason.
Thud.
Matou Yuu's body collapsed straight backward.
"Onii-sama——!!!"
"Matou-san——! Doctor, prepare for emergency treatment!!"
Amid the crowd's terrified and anxious shouts, the world was completely enveloped in darkness.
The noisy sounds quickly faded from Matou Yuu's consciousness, and eventually returned to a dead silence...
...
Early morning, 07:00.
Facing the rising desert sun, Snowfield City — which had just overcome the apocalyptic crisis of the night — was now more peaceful than ever before.
In a highly airtight basement, a gentle breeze suddenly blew through.
Accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, countless illusory pink petals gathered in a vortex in the air and finally transformed into a tall figure wearing pure white robes and holding a staff, becoming a dazzling explosion of light and shadow.
Sigma's voice was as calm as ever, without any emotional fluctuation, and he simply asked in a low voice,
"You've been gone for a long time... I thought you were completely annihilated in last night's battle, Merlin-san."
"That Matou Yuu guy really didn't hold back. It was just a little short... At the decisive moment, it was this big brother who used an illusion to 'deceive the world,' and that's how he barely escaped the crisis."
He paused and deepened the smile on his lips. "In short, since the biggest problem has been resolved, there's no longer any need to worry about this planet being forcibly 'reset.'"
After all... With the end of that shocking battle, the "Return Beast" that had tried to destroy human order no longer existed in this world.
"In other words, your mission as a Servant in this world has been fulfilled?"
Sigma slightly raised his head and quietly stared at the white-haired magus with his hollow eyes. "Next... Are you planning to release the summoning and return to 'Avalon' in the Inner Sea of the Stars?"
Merlin smiled casually but did not answer immediately. His deep purple eyes quietly gazed at the young man before him, as if seeing through everything.
"Your mission to 'guide' is not yet over, lost lamb."
"Therefore, I intend to stay here until I witness the complete ending of this ridiculous drama, and then leave."
As a flower magus who could see into people's hearts, he understood better than anyone the emptiness deep within this young man's soul.
This void was surprisingly similar to "Artoria" — who had once wandered before the chosen sword as if abandoned by the world.
That was why this usually aloof crowned magus rarely felt a "playful" desire to create a miracle himself.
"Besides, it's been a long time since I've been able to walk freely in the human world like this. Let's treat it as a rare paid vacation. Since we finally resolved a super-crisis that could have destroyed human order, it's only natural to savor the afterglow of victory~"
At this point, Merlin casually turned his face and looked outside the basement.
And as if he had seen something, after a brief silence, the smile on the white-haired magus's face had long since disappeared.
Noticing the man's unusual reaction, Sigma slightly tilted his head, and a hint of confusion entered his voice. "Merlin-san...?"
Merlin was pulled back to reality, forced a smile, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing... I'm fine."
However, the moment he said that, a faint expression appeared in the man's eyes.
Initially, Merlin had expected that once the "Return Beast" was dealt with, this crisis would be smoothly resolved and human order would at least be secured.
But... For some reason, in my clairvoyant observation... Why hasn't the Beast-level spiritual foundation reaction in Snowfield City dropped to zero — it's even increased?!
...
A wave of dizziness welled up deep in his heart.
Faint morning light streamed through the glass window, dazzling her eyes, and Matou Yuu furrowed his brows.
He slowly opened his heavy eyelids.
...Where was this?
Rubbing his swollen temples, he felt a momentary blank in his memory.
All he remembered was that at the end of that human moral crisis, he had temporarily sent Tiamat into the "Portable Hot Bed."
...And then?
What happened after that?
Despite the pain in his body, he got up from the bed and looked around warily.
The facility here was somewhat old, with yellowed wallpaper on the walls.
An old-fashioned CRT television sat on the nearby table, and a faint musty smell unique to cheap hotels filled the air.
Without a doubt, this was the old inn he had stayed at when he first arrived in Snowfield City.
That meant Emiya Shirou had casually carried him back...?
That... Where did Sakura go?
Given her personality, she shouldn't have left his side at a time like this...
Just as Matou Yuu was still dazed in his thoughts, suddenly, a familiar fluorescent blue screen appeared before her eyes without warning.
[Ping! Daily social task activated!]
[System Detection: A new neighbor has moved into the adjacent room.]
[The opponent's identity has been confirmed as a rare neutral NPC — "Pure and Delicate Lost Nun (and Dedicated Community Counselor)"!]
[Mission Description: After experiencing a harsh apocalyptic crisis and intense battlefield, the host's mental state urgently needs healing.]
Please knock on the neighbor's door to greet them and receive psychological counseling from this pure nun!]
[Quest Reward: +1 Free Attribute Point and +10 Neighbor Favorability!]
Staring at the text on the panel, Matou Yuu slightly raised his eyebrows.
A new neighbor...?
In today's Snowfield City, were there really any "ordinary people" staying in such a run-down hotel?
Could it be... They were other Masters who had survived this false Holy Grail War?
He rubbed his brows and, driven by curiosity, put on his coat and left the room.
Following the system's instructions, he walked to the adjacent room in the hallway and politely knocked on the door.
A few seconds later, the door slowly opened from inside.
A faint smile appeared on Matou Yuu's pale face as he said, "Hello, the neighbor living next door..."
However, before he could finish speaking,
The moment he saw the person on the other side of the door, the smile on the young man's face instantly froze, and his pupils sharply contracted.
What came into view was a black nun's habit symbolizing faith and abstinence.
But... The tailoring of this garment blatantly violated the essence of human reason.
The jet-black fabric clung tightly to her skin, perfectly outlining her plump, proud chest and the curves of her waist and hips like ripe peaches.
The collar of the nun's robe was boldly carved into a bottomless, magnificent slit, and her large, dazzling white skin shone with a chaotic brilliance in the morning light.
The woman wore a black veil, her hands clasped in front of her, like a bodhisattva with compassion and sanctity, gripping a string of wooden prayer beads with her white fingertips.
Those deep, gentle, yet captivating eyes were filled with fallen bliss as she smiled at him.
It was the ultimate charm where "sanctity" and "sensuality" perfectly blended — capable of making one lose reason at a single glance and want to offer both body and soul.
"..."
At that moment, time seemed to stop for an instant.
Staring at the woman before him, Matou Yuu's mind went completely blank for a moment, and cold sweat immediately soaked his back.
[Ping! Quest completed, received +1 Free Attribute Point as reward!]
Staring at the system prompt box before his eyes, Matou Yuu finally returned to reality, but his expression suddenly became unbelievably excited.
...Calling this a pure and delicate lost nun?!
