The Knights of the Round Table's Gentlemen's Club / The Sakura Types Are All Cunning

Gudako had been left behind, exchanged a glance with Shirou.

"Hmm? See? You made her angry?" Shirou looked at Gudako and lectured her.

"No, no, it's definitely Senpai's fault, isn't it?" Gudako waved her hands, thinking that it was Senpai's fault for creating Asura Field.

The two of them shifted the blame to each other, genuinely unable to figure out what they had done wrong. Completely baffled, they rested their chins on their hands, wondering, "What on earth happened?"

"In any case, I'll lead the way to find the next breakthrough," Tristan said, stepping forward.

He was once summoned as Saber Class to participate in this cruel farce. At that time, his Master was not a powerful being, but a lively girl who always ran up to him with a completely unguarded smile, calling out, "Lord Tristan, Lord Tristan!"

However, that innocent and carefree Master was targeted and absorbed by the demonic Alter-Ego.

Therefore, no matter what, he could not let go of these Alter-Egos who were ignorant of human nature and as cruel as demons.

To get inside, Tristan led the group to a passageway formed by two transparent blue walls.

Tap tap, hurried footsteps came from around the corner ahead.

"Waaaaah! Help me! Is this Chaldea's rescue team?! Thank goodness, I'm saved!" A woman wearing glasses ran towards them from the opposite direction.

"It's so good that you're not injured. It's an honor to meet you, Madam." Gawain stepped forward and said with a friendly smile. From the angle opposite him, his white teeth seemed to flash and shine.

"I am Gawain, and this is my Master Gudako, along with reinforcements Shirou. Could you tell us in detail what happened?"

"This isn't the person I'm talking to, and I'm not a lady, I'm a woman! I'm not married yet. I just graduated from university and came here for a long-term job. I'm still a young woman in my twenties!" The woman adjusted her glasses and corrected him with obvious concern.

"But...wow, that smile is wonderful. Is his name Mr. Gawain? Um...what does he do for a living? How old is he? How much does he earn annually?" the woman asked herself in quick succession.

"Haha, although I did have a family and career before I died, as Servant, I am now childless. Although I will never forget my wife, the more I look away, the more I succumb to temptation..." Gawain smiled, looking sincerely into the woman's eyes, and then his eyes turned to Lilith beside him.

"The conversation has been a mess since just now, and what awful things is this guy saying?!" The girl frowned in disgust as she felt the gaze directed at her.

"Well, miss, please calm down and tell us the details of the situation so we can think of a way to rescue you," Shirou said, stepping forward.

"Ah! And this young man over here seems quite nice too. Where are you a college student? How are your grades? Are you open to older women? How much older would you like? A three-year-old with a golden brick? A gentle and considerate six-year-old? A nine-year-old who takes meticulous care of you?"

"Why? They're clearly enemies of Chaldea, right? Why are humans with her? We're going to be killed! There's an Alter-Ego here too! No! We escaped, but we're still going to be killed!" The woman cried out in panic when she saw Lilith.

The misunderstood girl simply smiled coldly and ignored the woman.

"Calm down, this is our side," Shirou said, stepping forward to persuade the woman.

Just then, came the sound of some enormous creature slowly approaching, its steps shaking the ground. With each step, it seemed as if it was crushing the earth to pieces.

"Waaaaah! They've caught up! Run, or we'll be killed!"

"Hmm..." Everyone's gaze was fixed on the new enemy that appeared ahead.

"Wow, it's huge..." Tristan exclaimed.

"Wow, it's huge!!" Gawain nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"It's so big!!!" Gudako shouted.

"Run! Escape from this area!" Shirou shouted, grabbing Gudako, whose eyes were still glued to the scene.

Passionlip, whose name means "flower name," is a soft-spoken and gentle girl with slender shoulders adorned with golden wrists, below which are massive golden claws larger than her body. She is dressed in a straitjacket that covers her eyes, but her extraordinary voluptuous figure cannot be concealed beneath her black attire.

Chapter 267 The Gentlemen of the Grand Round Table

The enormous purple-haired girl, with her golden claws, seemed to be under control. She looked towards Gudako, opened her mouth wide, and emitted a sonic wave. As a clone of BB-chan, she activated her unique ability 'Compression,' a cheat-like skill similar to Lilith's dissolution and absorption.

Within her field of vision, there was an irreversible, forced compression. In terms of sheer destructive power over objects, perhaps no Servant in this world could surpass her.

Within her field of vision, there was an irreversible, forced compression; in terms of destructive power over objects alone, virtually no Servant could control her.

At the critical moment, Shirou carrying Gudako and Gawain carrying the woman ran a short distance from the straight section of the passage, but the spot where they had been standing shattered into a depression, like a broken mosaic, and they could no longer walk through the passage.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh--!" The space and roads were torn open, and then in an instant they were squeezed into a cubic transparent square made of glass.

Seeing this, no one dared to linger any longer and quickly ran outside, finally shaking off Lip's pursuit. "What a terrifying enemy! Even in Britain, there's no precedent for such a ferocity."

"Tch, boring. As expected, all horny male dogs only like that kind of stuff. Gudako, let's go." Lilith pouted unhappily and urged the girl beside her.

"Huh?" Gudako, whose eyes widened almost at the same time as Gawain, was momentarily at a loss for words.

However, the upright Knights of the Round Table would not tolerate the girl's misunderstanding.

"Absolutely not! I must correct your views. This is not something improper! If anything, it's as natural as having a sense of justice!" Sun Knight Gawain retorted with a serious expression.

The tall man grinned, revealing his gleaming teeth, and gave a thumbs-up, saying, "There's an old proverb that goes: 'A lady is the mother of a gentleman, and a gentleman is fond of her breasts!' It's only natural that a gentleman likes breasts!"

"Oh!" Gudako seemed to hear the words she had always wanted to express but didn't know how to say. She looked into Gawain's eyes, at her soulmate and like-minded partner.

"Sir Gawain, what are you saying in front of a lady?" The red-haired Knight Tristan opened his eyes and looked at the girl, his eyes shining brightly as he spoke. Her flat chest and abdomen revealed a smooth body, which, under clever concealment, exuded an indescribable allure. She also had a similar temperament to the two girls he liked, which was not bad.

"..." Shirou looked puzzled. So what exactly was going on at the beginning?

Gawain noticed the gazes of his fellow countrymen and continued, "Ah, Lilith's words are truly regrettable. As an Alter-Ego, no matter how hard she tries, there is no future. That's why I often advised my daughters during my lifetime that during their growth period, they must try to eat as much as the My King. Only by eating well can they grow healthily. Master, please remember to eat well too!"

Gawain turned to look at the purple-haired girl, shook his head regretfully, and said honestly, "Lilith, although your body is no longer capable of doing anything, try to make up for it with your character, although I don't think that really changes anything..."

"Aaaaah! I finally pierced him!! There's no need for any other Servant here!" Lilith cried out, tears of regret welling in her eyes, as she raised the spike in front of her knee and pointed it at the tall, blond knight.

"Well, Lilith is cute enough now." Gudako walked over, raised her hands and put them on the girl's shoulders, pressing her down and saying comfortingly, "Don't be too demanding about body shape, after all, not all breasts are called 'marshmallows'."

Lilith thought to herself, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, 'Is this the kind of personality the Master I've fallen for?'

However, seeing such a girl actually made Shirou feel happy and relieved. Every one of the 'Sakura's' here was a child he couldn't help but worry about.

Her actions were excessive. If she were the girl from the Nameless memories she had read, she would probably have killed everyone already if they had disagreed at the slightest provocation.

Although Lilith is still sharp-tongued, she now considers other people's feelings much better, which is definitely a good change.

Shirou recalled a memory from the Moon Holy Grail War, when Nameless and Master Zabith first encountered Lilith. The girl back then was much more powerful than she is now, practically a terrifying monster like the King of Heroes.

The petite, purple-haired girl leaped out and launched a sudden attack. Her slender feet were the sharpest blades, and her iron-pointed toes spun on the ground with a graceful, ballet-like lightness. Anything that her toes lightly grazed, even with the slightest touch, was cleaved in two.

As cute as a doll, she is a combination of the data of the highest- Servant created by incorporating the data of three goddesses: Artemis, the Greek Moon Goddess; Leviathan, the Old Testament goddess; and Saraswati, the Indian Saraswati. Her body is composed of a liquid poison, allowing her to change herself at will and even modify the objects into which she has been injected with the poison. She possesses the ability to melt and absorb everything in the world, even the crystallization of human civilization, ideals, and Noble Phantasm.

Nameless raised his black and white twin blades, blocking the girl's powerful attack. But the real danger was just beginning. The subsequent chases and perilous escapes all started from there.

The girl at that time gave off a strange feeling. Her revealing attire and somewhat aggressive demeanor, whether it was her clothing, her sharp feet, or her fierce and piercing aura, were like poison and honey, a deadly temptation. No matter how you looked at it, it was too crazy and dangerous. I just wanted to take my Master away from such a dangerous presence as soon as possible.

"The steel-like arm that easily deflected my attack, the iron will that prioritized protecting the Master over one's own body, the eagle-like expression on one's face when shooting the arrow at me... Ahh~"

"Wow, Archer! You're practically the embodiment of a 'Hero of Justice' from a story!"

"I've got my eye on you! I can't stand it anymore! I love you the most! Ahhh... I've finally found my true purpose!"

"Archer! I want to date you!"

"Because you don't dislike BB, right? I can see perfectly clearly that you still want to save her. You... even to the core, you're hopelessly gentle."

It also contained memories of failure. Although Shirou did not experience them, he used his Mystic Magic Eye to enter the Inner World of the man called 'Nameless' and, like watching a movie, followed the white-haired man and experienced everything he had gone through.

Therefore, compared to anything else here, they all understood how terrifying and wicked the girl was.

In a certain timeline, Nameless followed his Master Zabith, that strong girl, in the Sakura Labyrinth, where she fought a final battle against Lilith, and was defeated.

The Master fell, and then the white-haired man also lost his fighting ability.

The slender girl lifted her long, spiky feet and walked towards them, saying with ecstasy, "Ah, the one I love, now it's finally just you and me. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Our first night... I feel so happy, I feel like I could die right now. Are you ready? Any extra requests? What kind of pain? Sweetness? How much melting?"

'No...' Shirou wanted to say something, but in this memory, the defeated Nameless was unable to speak, only feeling a sharp pain in his chest.

The sharp toe pierced his body, injecting venom, which then dissolved his body and was gradually absorbed into the girl's body.

The girl let out a happy moan, "Ahhh--ahhh, I can't take it~! So warm, so blissful, so this is what love feels like?"

'No, this isn't real love...' Shirou thought to himself. This scene in his memory went completely black, and he could no longer see anything.

"So you're mine now, Archer! In this world, I only have you, and you only have me. I'll dissolve and destroy the whole world, and then offer it to you, the one I love..." Only the girl's lonely final words could be faintly heard.

In the end, regardless of whether the girl won or lost, in the memories of the various worlds connected by the Magic Eye, she never found true redemption and was still swallowed by the demonized Saint faked his death. A monster created by BB, a flawed product yearning for love but unable to receive it...

Even though she possesses the extraordinary ability to dissolve, devour, and transform everything, even if she transforms everything into what she desires, it's nothing more than playing a role-playing game with herself. The moment the girl realizes her loneliness, she can no longer bear living in an environment where only her thoughts exist.

That's why she so desperately longed for someone's love and warmth, seeking someone who could accept her.

Yes, in this lonely world of a young girl, all she wanted was someone who could love her.

But this girl, born of AI, yearns for humanity, imitates humanity, and longs for human love, yet she fundamentally misunderstands human nature...

Due to a congenital neurological disorder, she has almost no sense of touch throughout her body, her hands are very clumsy, and she is even less able to understand other people's thoughts.

Initially, Lilith embodies 'happiness'. Due to her willful and self-willed nature, she derives her sense of existence and the pleasure of feeling the value of her life from the exaggerated expressions of pain on others' faces.

However, when she falls in love with someone, she transforms the value of her life into making her beloved happy, devoting herself wholeheartedly to their happiness, even at the cost of everything she has.

However, doing so will only result in rejection from the one you love. Because if you truly love someone, you won't ask that person to sacrifice for you. Only those who mutually desire to be together can be called lovers, and only when two people are together can they be called happy.

Lilith is a proud girl, so she doesn't fall in love easily. But once she does, it's definitely someone worth loving.

But the more outstanding the person Lilith falls in love with, the less likely they are to approve of everything Lilith does.

Only that girl named Zabith was truly remarkable. As expected of the Master recognized by Nameless, she defeated Lilith and then forgave her.

Through their conversation, Lilith finally came to her senses and began to understand human thoughts and the true meaning of wanting to be with someone you like. Although the outcome wasn't pleasant, the girl's heart was probably at peace at that moment.

It was because of this experience that Lilith became gentle and lovely after arriving in this world.

Looking at the girl now, Shirou felt that she had really changed a lot compared to the cruel girl she used to be.

If the moon goddess is a poison that can dissolve everything, a deadly honey, then the current goddess is like a spring in a deep mountain. She may sometimes seem too cold, and sometimes too hot, but if you get to know her well, you might find a cool stream to enjoy in summer and a hot spring to soak in in winter.

"What? Don't look at me with that smug expression. Even if you have the memories, you're not that person!" Lilith said unhappily. Although she longed for Archer and wanted to be in a relationship with him, she also felt guilty about killing him.

"My name is Shirou. You could say I'm from a parallel world, Nameless. Although we're different on a spiritual level, the things we experienced in our previous lives are very similar. So, in terms of origin, we are indeed the same person. So, Lilith, I can say this on his behalf. You've grown up so much, that's wonderful!" Shirou stretched out his hand, raised it high, and patted the girl's head.

"Whoa! Don't touch a lady's head without permission! I'll poke you through!" Lilith lowered her head, feeling the warmth on her head, and threatened with a fierce look, though her face was red and she had no intimidating power at all.

Shirou casually turned his head and looked at his junior on the other side, saying, "Speaking of which, Gudako, could you explain in detail how you got here?"

"Okay, I understand!" Gudako readily agreed.

SE. RA. PH, the deep-sea cyber paradise, has experienced Pseudo-Singularity that occurred within a base for extracting seabed oil.

The Seraphix oil field is a valuable asset owned by the family of Anifia, the former director of Chaldea. It uses semi-submersible platforms and operates on a 24-hour shift system to continuously extract marine oil and generate revenue. Most of its income is used to provide stable operating funds for Chaldea.

Among the employees of Chaldea, there are also some colleagues and friends who were assigned to work there. Moreover, because both sides are similar closed working environments, one side is a snow-covered mountain, and the other side is a seabed covered by water.

Therefore, in addition to necessary work-related contact, employees on both sides also take this opportunity to confide in and chat with each other, forming a relationship similar to pen pals. So, they usually keep in touch regularly every now and then.

The power of friendship and family ties also comforts each other's hearts.

Simply put, she's like Magical Merlin. Even though Dr. Roman is constantly being scolded by her, he feels very happy and can continue even the hardest work.

However, this time the received communication was a distress call from the future. Amidst the jumbled static, a broken human voice could be heard.

"Please! I have to receive this! I don't know... what happened? Everyone... everyone's homes have disappeared... Help! Everyone, everyone's been turned into data..."

The call abruptly ended...

Da Vinci immediately ordered an investigation, but the investigation revealed that the oil field had vanished without a trace. There were no signs of any accident or mishap; it simply disappeared from reality, leaving no evidence of its existence.

Just when everyone was completely confused, a super AI from another parallel universe, BB-chan, hacked into Chaldea's system, explained everything to everyone, and guided Chaldea to discover the Pseudo-Singularity located in the deepest trench in the world in A. D. 2030.

"BB--Channel!" The legendary BB channel started playing without permission, accompanied by a talking purple-haired girl. It was as if, in a story text with only background music, even the protagonist didn't have the right to voice their character.

In order to highlight its uniqueness, it went so far as to directly invade all players' games and insert synchronized audio to demonstrate its status as the one and only female protagonist.

However, due to her personality—not being someone who stands in the spotlight and fights alongside the protagonist—overly verbose speaking style, excessive text length, and insufficient budget, she can only make a brief appearance to showcase herself. Soon after, a more distinctive and frank woman appears, taking away her position as the leading lady, and she is relegated to a supporting role.

In fact, the girl was just too lonely and didn't want to be ignored by her senior, so she followed him closely from beginning to end. Because of her awkward personality and the reasons she couldn't tell him, she would only subtly indicate in roundabout words that she was actually on the side of the friend.

Every sentence she utters begins with a sarcastic remark before expressing affection, making it impossible to discern her true thoughts. While guiding her Master in the right direction, she is also forced to act as an enemy, hindering the protagonist and causing mischievous trouble.

"Even if you're an utterly incompetent sea cucumber-type Master, I'll take good care of you until I die," the mischievous girl declared with a wicked grin. She spoke these words with utmost seriousness, yet with an air of casualness that made it seem like a cruel joke, so that no one else would notice.

This kind of regrettable, cheating character is exactly what makes her so adorable, like an internet idol. BB-chan is definitely a character who maliciously acts cute.

Chapter 268 Sakura-kun is cunning

Whether due to an accident or some other unknown reason, the vanished oil base has reappeared in the ocean of the future. It seems to have undergone an anomaly and is slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. If left unchecked, it will become Singularity in about four hours.

Gudako accepts the mission to enter and search for survivors. Coincidentally, BB-chan, through hacking, has entered Chaldea's communication system and sent a distress signal, luring Gudako into this world.

However, due to insufficient capacity, only Gudako was able to enter. Tamamo and Red Saber, who were traveling with her, were thrown out and separated when they entered.

A major crisis loomed from the moment they entered. With no Servant by their side, and the oil field base already transformed into SE. RA. PH, Gudako was attacked by Suzuka Gozen. Lilith appeared just in time to save her.

Then Gawain appeared, followed by Tristan, who was chasing Lilith.
