A Body That Attracts Women UP!

"Little sister, you can just speak Japanese. We can understand everything thanks to the possession summoning system," Wu Zetian said.

"Haha, I see, that's great. Hello everyone, I'm Komachi." Komachi chuckled awkwardly as she replied. Her twin sister had a queen-like aura and could go head-to-head with the cold and aloof Ria, which was truly terrifying. It was amazing that her brother could chat and laugh with such a formidable person! If he was so good at this, then he should hurry up and find Komachi a sister-in-law!

"Hello, Komachi! I'm Meimei, nice to meet you," Chou Meimei said.

"Hello." Komachi looked over and saw that it was a twin sister who looked a bit younger, just like a doll. And she was a little loli with twin ponytails, so cute, she wanted to take her back to her room and snuggle up to sleep.

Komachi said softly to the little girl, "Excuse me, I only have black tea. Would you like some milk and sugar?"

"That's good. We drink both green tea and black tea in China," Chou Meimei replied with a smile. After all, she was Shirou's younger sister, and possibly her future sister-in-law. She needed to act like a reliable older sister. That would be a plus, so even if it meant drinking bitter coffee, she had to endure it and finish it off.

"Alright. So! Big brother, is there anything you want to say to everyone?" Komachi winked at her brother and raised her voice.

"Um! Artoria, Jeanne d'Arc, I'm sorry. There's actually a deeper reason behind this. Could you tell me what happened?"

"..." Artoria nodded silently.

"I know, tell me! Anyway, if I don't figure it out, I'll keep worrying and unable to sleep!" Jeanne d'Arc said honestly, then after a moment, she realized what she meant and shouted, waving her arms and legs, "Whoa! Of course! It's not because I'm worried about Shirou!"

"Alright then, it all started when I was suddenly pulled into cyberspace by BB... that's how it is..." After about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Shirou finally explained the situation, but omitted the details about the white god and the Counter Force.

"Honestly, Shirou! You should have told me this sooner." Jeanne d'Arc slapped the boy's shoulder hard.

She felt a burning pain in her back, but the silver-haired girl seemed to have calmed down.

"I see..." Artoria nodded, pondered for a moment, and then shouted loudly, "Shirou!"

"Yes!" the boy quickly replied.

"Can we prepare dinner now?" Artoria asked with a serious expression.

Shirou had been missing for most of the day. In her search for him, she ate less than half of her usual lunch. She had been angry and filled her stomach with rage, but now that she Matsushita, she suddenly felt very hungry.

Shirou hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed, "Yeah, you're right. With so many people today, we need to prepare in advance. Yes, let's have hot pot, and get some side dishes too."

So Shirou went into the kitchen and busied himself preparing the dishes, and everything seemed to have returned to peaceful daily life.

Ding-dong, ding-dong...

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

The girls looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ugh..." The second prince, who was sleeping in his nest, opened his mouth and yawned. He shook his head at Shirou, then turned over, turned his butt towards the boy, and lay down to continue sleeping.

Shirou, who had just stood up, went out and opened the door.

"Everyone!" Shirou exclaimed in surprise.

There stood three familiar girls, members of the school's clubs, close comrades who fought together to eliminate Demonic Beast and protect the academy.

"Hey there~! Um... Shirou, we've come to see you. But Gudako and Mash were called back to Chaldea for an emergency mission." The tangerine girl poked her head out and said.

Shirou nodded, thinking that Gudako was probably still inside the Singularity. Because of his ability to manipulate time, the timelines he crossed each time were always disrupted. However, he was relieved that she would eventually return safely and stopped thinking about it.

"We heard from Yuihama that you were also caught up in the previous battle, so we thought we'd drop by and see you," Yukino Yukinoshita said.

'Hmm? You came back from the airport and stopped by here on the way?' Shirou wondered, but he still stepped aside and invited, 'Thank you, everyone, please come in and we can talk.'

'But... are there enough chairs in the living room?' Shirou squinted, pondering this serious question.

"Long time no see! Was your overseas trip interesting? Yes, this is a specialty of Okinawa."

"Thank you." Shirou accepted the souvenir. Actually, he had bought gifts for the girls, and he thought to himself that he would give them to them later.

"Everyone, you've come at just the right time. I was just about to make hot pot. There are so many people here today, it's really lively. Your timing is perfect, we can set up two tables." Shirou said.

"Hot pot, hot pot sounds good! I just came back from Okinawa, and Chiba still feels so cold," Yuihama a smile.

"Shirou... are there many people inside?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked Shirou with a puzzled look, noticing the neatly arranged shoes in the entryway, all of which were women's shoes.

"And they're all girls?" The meticulous Asuna noticed the problem and looked directly at Shirou.

I don't understand why, but I have a feeling that something is about to happen again.

"..." Shirou smiled kindly at the girls without saying a word.

After that, everyone happily enjoyed a hot pot meal.

Chapter 290 The Difficult Body of a Woman Up!

Steam billows from the circular iron pot, symbolizing liveliness and completeness. On this still slightly chilly day, it warms the living room, comforting everyone's body and soul, creating a pleasant and cozy atmosphere.

Sitting in such an environment, eating and chatting, people tend to Matsushita and become more easygoing and approachable than usual. Young women are likely to become more friendly around hot pot as well.

At least that's what Shirou thought, but reality always falls short of expectations.

Two low Japanese-style tables were set up in the dining room. Everyone split into two groups, took cushions, sat on the floor, and started eating hot pot.

Artoria, Jeanne d'Arc, Wu Zetian, and Chou Meimei remained in the same position as before, facing each other on the sofa, only now they had moved to the dining table. Although their combat strength as Servant was currently 2 against 1, Wu Zetian's side was clearly at a disadvantage.

However, for the sake of her original host, Chou Meimei, Wu Zetian was willing to go all out, unleashing a fierce aura that threatened to bring down the empress, kill her, and become the Empress.

There seemed to be lightning and thunder above the hot pot, with flames soaring high, neither side gaining the upper hand. Add to that two followers and the adorable Chou Meimei, and they were evenly matched with the blonde and silver-haired girl across the table.

Of course, the real winner will depend on the reaction of the boy in the kitchen.

Komachi quietly pulled the harmless Mashiro away from this troublesome place to the table Yukino Yuihama, Yuihama, and Asuna were enjoying hot pot.

"Alright, Artoria." Shirou smiled and handed the girl a large bowl full of meat.

"...Thank you, Shirou." Artoria took the bowl, but the atmosphere was tense and silent.

"Here, this is your portion, Jeanne d'Arc." Shirou handed her the next bowl.

"Oh, thanks." Jeanne d'Arc took the bowl and casually replied; she wasn't one to stand on ceremony with young men anyway. In fact, she had been looking forward to it for a long time and immediately started eating.

"You're too cunning, Shirou! Serve us too!" the two girls who were his attendants said.

"Aren't we the guests?"

The girls persisted, insisting that Shirou serve them food.

"Shirou, please~!" Wu Zetian waved and said.

"I understand, please wait a moment." Shirou readily agreed to the guests' requests; he hadn't had a moment's rest since the hot pot was served. Fortunately, his training allowed him to handle everything smoothly.

"I... I can actually do it myself," Chou Meimei said, standing up, but her small stature made it a bit of a struggle.

"Meimei, leave it to me. I'm more comfortable with this." Shirou told the little girl not to worry about it, even though she was the youngest one here.

Shirou then picked up a spoon and deftly scooped various ingredients from the hot pot into a bowl. He then gently placed slices of beef into the pot and cooked them, achieving a perfect balance of meat and vegetables. He then handed the bowl to the girl. He also ladled a spoonful of broth from the cylindrical pot and placed it in front of the girl on the table.

"Here, be careful, it's hot. Don't be shy, eat it," Shirou said with a gentle smile.

"Thank you, it's delicious." Chou Meimei smelled the overflowing fragrance, and the tender beef from the shoulder blade slid into her mouth as soon as it touched her lips, full of freshness and aroma.

The carefully prepared and stewed white radish is as tender as the ones in oden, bringing the girl's taste buds the greatest pleasure. She shows a satisfied and cute smile, and her pigtails swing happily back and forth.

After the girls at this table finally quieted down, Shirou turned his gaze to the other side.

"Then I'll go check out the other table," Shirou said, walking towards Komachi.

"Everyone, is there anything you need? I'll serve you." Shirou said warmly.

"No need, we can manage on our own," Yukino Yukinoshita said coldly.

Is he angry...?

Earlier at the door, Shirou could only smile and explain to them that some friends had come to visit, so everyone was having a lively meal together. However, the identities of Artoria and Jeanne d'Arc could not be hidden from them.

The girls, who understood that a lot had happened this month, simply went inside in silence and didn't pay any more attention.

"Oh, Shirou-kun, you're finally done with your work! Come, sit down and have something to eat with us." Asuna smiled and handed the boy a bowl.

"Oh, thank you, Asuna." Shirou accepted the bowl with gratitude. As expected of Asuna, she is a gentle woman full of wifely charm.

"Huh?" Shirou looked down at the bowl and found it full of cabbage, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu, all soaking up the broth. Their white, jade-like surfaces glistened with oil. Although the vegetables were delicious, why wasn't there any meat at all?

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Shirou-kun, is the dish I chose not to your liking?" Asuna asked with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

"No, I'll eat now. Vegetables and tofu are delicious too," Shirou readily agreed, burying his head in his food.

"Shirou, don't you have anything you want to say to us?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked.

"Hehehe, bad kids don't get to eat meat. Shirou-kun, you don't seem to have mentioned to us at all that so many girls are staying at your house?" Asuna asked with a smile.

"Shirou, I think it would be better if you explained things clearly. Everyone is worried about you," Yuihama also said.

"Yes, I'm sorry to have worried you. But just like I said before, they are Servant who came to live in this world. Just like humans, they chose to help us with their own free will. My parents have also agreed to let them stay here, so please get along well," Shirou said sincerely.

"Of course I understand all that, but why did I stay at your house?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, looking down with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, this competitor is really in danger," Asuna said with a smile.

"I think the reason I'm frustrated is because I can't find anything to criticize," Yuihama muttered.

The girls here seem to have reached some kind of consensus and formed a united front.

Shirou finally managed to sit down and take a bite, but the other side soon started doing it again.

"Shirou! Another serving!" Artoria called out, holding up her empty bowl. The bowl, which had been filled to the brim with meat, had been completely devoured by the girl.

"What! She's already finished eating! Gaaaaaah!" Jeanne d'Arc looked at Artoria, then stuffed the rest of the food in her bowl into her mouth, raised her hand, and shouted, "Shirou! Over here!"

As a result, the girls around them also developed a strange sense of competition and sped up their eating.

"Shirou ~! This way too!"

"Please Shirou." One by one, the girls rushed to hand over their bowls before the boy could walk over, all looking like they didn't want to be left behind and couldn't refuse.

With a heart full of gratitude for taking care of the guests, Shirou went forward to serve them again. Actually, helping with the hot pot wasn't difficult, but the atmosphere was just too strange, making him feel uncomfortable and extremely tired.

After Shirou satisfied the girls once again, less than a minute later...

"Shirou! Another bowl!" Artoria shouted, raising her bowl high.

This time, Shirou cast a pleading look towards Komachi.

Komachi, who had been choosing to ignore everything and simply eating with Mashiro, rolled her eyes at her brother helplessly and complained inwardly, "He's only been abroad for less than a month, visited only three countries, but brought back seven girls. Even if you're going to flirt, at least have some limits."

"I'm worried... My brother isn't the kind of person who would do something like this. I really don't know what to do with him," Komachi thought helplessly. She could only try to ease the tension.

"Really, never mind, I'll go help you too." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, stood up and said.

"No, Yukino- senpai, let's leave the rest to Komachi!" The younger sister stood up, walked to the other side, and said, "Thank you everyone for coming."

"My Komachi mentioned before that he wanted to host some friends he met from abroad, but I never expected they would all be girls," Komachi said in an exaggerated tone.

"Well, Komachi knows her brother isn't capable of anything," Komachi shrugged, then continued:

"However, it's not entirely incomprehensible. It's true that my brother has been very popular since he was a child. In fact, when he was in kindergarten, he even helped the police catch some suspicious people as Hero of Justice."

However, after that, his older brother was also arrested by the teacher and given a severe lecture."Komachi casually recounted Shirou's embarrassing childhood incident.

"Haha, that really has Shirou's style." The girls laughed when they heard this.

"Hmm, I feel like I've seen this somewhere before," Asuna nodded and said.

"Huh? You know Asuna?" the girls asked in surprise.

"Actually, I was in the same kindergarten as Shirou, although we were in different classes. Because it happened so long ago, I wasn't sure at first. But after hearing what Komachi said, I remembered," Asuna said.

"Really? After being classmates, my childhood sweetheart has appeared too?" Chou Meimei thought frantically, feeling an increasing pressure.

"Question~! Komachi- san, what kind of girl does your brother like?" Lingyue, one of the girls who was following her, couldn't help but raise her hand and ask.

"Just call me Komachi," Komachi said thoughtfully, holding her little chin. "Yes, my brother seems to have said that his type is a strong, beautiful, and assertive woman."

When Komachi mentioned Shirou's type of girl, each sentence caused the girls eating hot pot to pause in unison, feeling as if she were being described.

The girls present all thought the same thing.

"Yes, of course, if she's a gentle, considerate, and caring girl, I feel like my brother would be completely under her thumb," Komachi said, still resting her chin on her hand.

The girls quieted down, seemingly reflecting on what they had done.

"No, I think even just being together in a simple way, being able to understand each other, is enough. Like right now, we're all eating hot pot together, and I think that's enough to make me happy," Shirou said, looking at his friends with a genuine smile.

For some reason, the girls' eyes sparkled.

"Shirou! You get some meat too! Don't go over there!" Jeanne d'Arc pulled the boy back, picking up a piece of cooked beef and saying.

"Ah... thank you, Jeanne d'Arc, you don't need to do that, I can eat by myself," the boy said.

"Shirou ~! Come here, ah~!" Seeing this, Wu Zetian stood up, picked up her bowl, and walked over to serve the boy some food.
