The Big Sister Who Got Carried Away After Drinking
"I see. Thank goodness it wasn't her." Shirou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait! Why did you breathe a sigh of relief? You should have!" the blonde girl protested, puffing out her cheeks.
Meanwhile, the chicken, braised in hot oil and sauce, was ready. The lid was lifted, and fragrant steam rose up. Wild mushrooms, truffles, and other fungi, along with vegetables, were skewered together on a shaving bamboo stick, sprinkled with spices, and arranged on a plate, which was then handed to the girl.
"Let's eat first," Shirou said, as he filled three plates with the three Cú Chulainn and handed them to them.
"Thank you..." Ereshkigal took the plate, looking at the food that looked delicious, but felt a little awkward, unsure whether to eat it or not.
Unlike the hesitant Ereshkigal, they smelled the aroma and immediately started eating heartily.
Seeing her friend enjoying the food so much, and smelling the enticing aroma, the blonde girl joined in. As soon as she tasted the food, she exclaimed in surprise, "Delicious! What is this?! I've never eaten anything so delicious before!"
"Yes, braised chicken in sauce, made with fresh, unblemished lily bulbs and mountain chilies, braised in a sauce made with wild garlic and onions to create juicy chicken. There's also a teppanyaki-style mixed mushroom and mountain vegetable dish."
"I see! Please teach me how to do it! I want to make it for everyone to try!" The blonde girl's eyes sparkled as she nodded repeatedly in agreement.
In the underworld, she doesn't need food. Her daily work is simply to provide comfortable living spaces for the dead souls. For this, she has to spend a lot of time regulating the temperature of the underworld and creating habitable 'cages'.
"Yes, of course!" Shirou laughed heartily and readily agreed. He had heard from Gil that there was a blonde girl with twin tails, and he thought she would be a red devil. However, the girl in front of him was not acting like a model student at all. She was clearly a red angel.
In this era of declining birth rates, children in families are often pampered and spoiled, becoming self-centered.
She's like a bullying little girl dressed as magical girl, forcing everyone to listen to her sing in an open space where children gather and play.
He looks like a young master with seaweed-like hair.
It's like the first tech security gadget in Human History.
Despite having the same face as Tohsaka, her mind is so healthy; it's truly rare and precious. If it's this child, Shirou feels he'll go to great lengths to fulfill her wish.
"Thank you, Shirou!" the blonde girl said with a happy smile. She had thought he would be some kind of dangerous person, and had even prepared for a fight to the death. She hadn't expected him to be such a gentle and kind boy. If it were him, as long as she explained things clearly, it seemed that even if he came into contact with the Holy Grail, it wouldn't be a problem.
Just then, Ereshkigal suddenly woke up, her eyes wide open, and she cried out in her heart, "No!!! Why am I involuntarily thinking about him? Is this 'True Magic'?! What a terrifying boy!"
"What's wrong?" Shirou asked the girl, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"Um?!"
"Huh?!"
The magical creatures on both sides raised their heads and looked at the boy and girl.
"No, no! It's nothing." Ereshkigal waved her hands. Although she had to find a way to stop Shirou, he wasn't a bad person, so she didn't want him to end up being killed. So the girl said, "Ahem, anyway, to prevent you from doing anything reckless or harming our divine race, I will follow you the whole way, never leaving your side, and will be responsible for monitoring you. That's it!"
With her arms crossed, Ereshkigal made a declaration, stating that she would never leave again.
"Huh? You're going to sleep with me tonight? I don't really mind, but are you sure you're okay with it?" Shirou asked the girl, looking at her with surprise.
"Ugh... Ugh..." The girl lowered her head, her body temperature rising steadily, as if steam was rising from her head, and even her ears turned bright red.
Ereshkigal drew a line on the ground with her spear, pointed it at Shirou, and said, "You are not allowed to come over here! Nor are you allowed to leave my sight. The goddess's orders are absolute! This is decided!"
"Do you want to get closer or keep us apart?" Shirou said helplessly.
"Goodnight!" Ereshkigal stood directly across the 38th parallel, spread out the blanket she had brought, rolled herself up like a caterpillar, leaving only her back facing Shirou.
As night fell, Shirou watched as the girl, who seemed unaccustomed to camping in the wild, finally fell asleep. However, seeing that she had unrolled from her rolled-up blanket and was not covered by one, Shirou fetched a blanket made of animal fur to cover her up.
As he approached, one of the Cú Chulainn lying next to the girl suddenly opened one of his eyes.
Shirou silently stopped at the 38th parallel, used magic to make the blanket float up, and flew above the girl. Under Cú Chulainn's watchful eye, he covered the girl with the blanket, then turned around and went back to his bed to lie down.
The next morning, just as she had said, the girl stayed by Shirou's side, never leaving his side.
After walking for several hours, Shirou finally arrived at the heart of the great forest, the area where he had seen the golden meteor that flew from the ground into the sky that night.
When they arrived at an open space, Shirou saw another human, this time an adult. However, this human's demeanor was completely different from that of a human.
Sitting cross-legged in the center was a middle-aged woman with messy blonde hair and yellow skin, wearing a strange headdress. She had already sensed Shirou and Ereshkigal's arrival before they even touched the grass.
She was surrounded by various birds, beasts, and animals, including many fantastical creatures.
She flashed a goofy smile, waved to Shirou, and said, "Oh, so you're the kid who cooks really well? Don't be scared, come over here."
"You!... You! You! Why? Why? There shouldn't be any more gods with Divine Power!" Ereshkigal's mouth dropped open as she pointed at the woman in astonishment, too frightened to speak.
"Oh, so you're a god from the other side of the mountain? Your people keep coming over here to mess with the Holy Grail, it's so noisy! Could you pass on a message for me, telling them to come at a fixed time so everyone can be prepared?" At this moment Quetzalcoatl looked at Ereshkigal beside him, his expression changed, and he grinned menacingly with serrated spikes.
"Hey!" Shirou ran to Ereshkigal, shielding the girl, and pulled a metal box of sweets from his backpack. He held it up to feathered serpent goddess and said, "This is a gift for the master of this place. Please enjoy!"
"Ah, so cute! You're going to protect her, so you stepped forward on your own. If you wait a few more years, you'll be a good man. We can look forward to that. I'll grant you anything you ask." Quetzalcoatl looked at Shirou with an appreciative expression, and with a silly, crooked smile, he agreed.
"Shirou..." Ereshkigal tugged at the boy from behind, trying to pull him back, but he resisted with all his might. Even though he was pulled back two steps, he just turned around and showed her a stubborn expression.
"Is this fried jerky?" Quetzalcoatl looked at the box curiously, reached out and picked up a piece of fried chicken, popped it into his mouth, and chewed a few times. A look of satisfaction immediately appeared in his eyes, and he exclaimed, "Mmm! Delicious! This seems perfect with some drinks!"
"Alright! I'll admit you two and the little ones are guests!" Feathered serpent goddess nodded and said with a smile.
She was once the sun goddess, the highest deity in Central and South America, who participated in the creation of the world and humankind. She was a benevolent goddess who rejected human sacrifice, loved life, and was also strong-willed. Her status in Aztec mythology is roughly equivalent to that of a Daoist emperor who once served as the Heavenly Emperor but later abdicated. She was one of the Four Emperors who assisted the Jade Emperor, the Great Emperor of the North Pole and the Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole.
This pantheon was once a very prosperous one among the Aztec peoples of Central and South America, centered in Mexico and encompassing surrounding countries, including parts of the territory later occupied by the United States. Although not very developed, the area it once influenced may have been comparable to that of Daoism in China. It was broadly similar to the Mayan pantheon, but its development was more complex.
Legend has it that there are five suns in the sky, representing five turning points for the people who support this pantheon.
The earliest Chaos God, embodying Yin and Yang, male and female, gave birth to four children. Earth was created by these four gods, but soil alone is not enough; a sun is also needed for all things to grow.
Thus, one of the gods who inherited the characteristics of the Chaos God became the first generation of Sun God, the Black Panther God Tezcatlipoca. Although he also had a benevolent side, because he possessed half darkness, the sun in the sky was only half there. Moreover, he was inherently cruel, had the habit of cannibalism, and accepted human sacrifices.
Under its leadership, humanity adhered to a bloody and cruel doctrine, requiring the daily offering of human blood to the sun so that the gods would have the power to rise from the east each day. The number of living people sacrificed was considerable, with thousands often being used in a single day. These human sacrifices were usually beheaded, skinned, or had their hearts ripped out while still alive.
Humans were brought to the top of the flat-topped pyramids unique to the Americas as livestock, and their blood was allowed to flow down the stone steps until it was absorbed by the soil, resulting in a bountiful harvest of corn planted that year.
Such things happened far too often, Quetzalcoatl benevolent god who ruled over the wind and sky, could no longer stand it. So he killed the black panther god with a stone, and from then on, the feathered serpent goddess became the new sun god.
The resurrected Black Panther God launched a counterattack, and the two gods fought, creating a massive storm that led to the extinction of almost all of humanity, thus ending the Second Sun Age.
After that, two more generations of sun gods failed, leading to the extinction of humanity. In the Fifth Sun Age, feathered serpent goddess, unable to bear the world's misery, resurrected the dead humans with his own blood, a tradition that continues to this day.
Some prophecies say that this solar era will be destroyed by a massive earthquake in 2012, and one of the sources of the 2012 doomsday prophecy comes from this religion.
During this period, the Black Panther God would reappear from time to time, bringing desire along with inevitable calamities.
In fact, human sacrifice has never stopped. Even in modern times, there are still cannibalistic cults, or those who propose the theory that there is a human surplus and that wars can be waged to reduce it.
Alternatively, an elite-based family planning policy could be implemented, prioritizing the reproduction of the offspring of elites, setting up obstacles, increasing the cost of marriage, depriving the weak of the opportunity to reproduce, and thus eliminating inferior genes.
There will always be people who take others' sacrifices for granted, and there will always be people who believe that sacrificing some people's lives for a more sustainable and correct way for humanity to reproduce is worthwhile.
But Quetzalcoatl feathered serpent goddess, said 'no' to all of this! She truly loved the kind and strong humans, and even though her people converted to Catholicism because of the rule of Western invaders, it didn't stop her from liking Mexico wrestling, which was popular among humans.
"Young lady!" Quetzalcoatl grinned maliciously, looking at the blonde girl with twin ponytails beside him.
"What!" Ereshkigal exclaimed, clinging tightly to her three companions who were trying to jump out to protect her, and taking a step back.
"Anyway!" Quetzalcoatl exclaimed, "Let's have a banquet first! Since we have guests, it'll be a banquet, after all! We can talk things out over drinks! Hahaha!"
"Huh?"
Huh?
Shirou and Ereshkigal were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and exclaimed in unison.
Shirou knew she was a very powerful god, but he didn't expect her to be such a lively, enthusiastic, and fun-loving older sister here.
And so the lively banquet began. With a loud roar from feathered serpent goddess that echoed throughout the great forest, all the magical creatures that heard the call rushed to the scene.
In a clearing less than a hundred meters from where the Holy Grail was located in the heart of the great forest, all the magical creatures from the surrounding area gathered and sat around a campfire.
Under the command of a magical ape-like creature, the Monkey of the forest brought barrel after barrel of fruit wine, pouring it for the powerful magical creatures who were drinking there.

On this night in the heart of the great forest, all life here—humans, gods, and magical creatures—was equal, enjoying a grand feast. Shirou also set up a stove, preparing fried and roasted meats for the creatures. For the humanoid magical creatures, Shirou's cooking was more delicious than ever before.
The wondrous creatures from all over displayed their unique abilities, bringing all sorts of food, from giant beasts to mountain delicacies from the forests.
Lion Saber, Panda Jeanne d'Arc, and the little tiger simply sat on the ground next to Shirou, enjoying their privileges and waiting for an unlimited supply of delicious food. They ate until their faces were shiny with oil and showed incredibly happy smiles.
Quetzalcoatl grinned broadly, pointing at Ereshkigal and saying, "As a rare guest, I'll make an exception and answer your question. Listen carefully, little girl. If I had to say, my current state is actually the same as these magical creatures..."
"Huh? Would you be willing to tell me?" Ereshkigal asked in surprise.
"Of course! I'm very hospitable to my guests, but you have to drink this first!" Feathered serpent goddess laughed and handed a large glass of wine to the blonde girl with twin ponytails.
"Hey! Are you trying to make elementary school kids drink alcohol?!" Shirou grilling food nearby, complained.
"Well, goddesses aren't under human control, are they? Or, Shirou, would you like to have a drink with your older sister?" Quetzalcoatl said with a smile.
At this moment, the Cú Chulainn jumped out, and the Cú Chulainn said with a smile, "We'll drink with you in her place!"
Quetzalcoatl grinned maliciously, then his expression softened into a wide smile as he laughed loudly, "Oh! You've got guts! But I love men like that, so let's drink! We'll drink our fill tonight! You're not allowed to stop until you're passed out on the floor!"
Cú Chulainn held up bamboo tubes that seemed disproportionate to their size. Even though it was the largest Dragon Cú Chulainn, who was holding them, it didn't stop them from drinking heartily, Shuten.
After a few rounds of drinks, the three Cú Chulainn were bloated and sweating profusely, but the feathered serpent goddess, was in even worse shape. Although she spoke very boldly, she didn't seem to be able to hold her liquor very well.
"Wait! Don't go, little leopard! Trying to ambush me while I'm drunk again? I won't smash you to death!" A drunk Quetzalcoatl completely changed his personality.
"Gah! You've mistaken me for a tiger!" Fujimura the little tiger waved his hands repeatedly, making an X shape as he spoke.
"Don't be shy, let me see your bottom, your cute little butt." Quetzalcoatl revealed a smitten expression and stuck out her tongue to lick the little tiger's cheek.
"Woo-ga!!!" The little tiger trembled all over and let out a mournful cry.
"So, in other words, feathered serpent goddess was once defeated and lost his position as the sun god because he was drunk, which is part of the legends," Shirou recalled.
Because she wasn't Servant summoned by humans, but a wondrous creature that descended into a beast, she possessed more of the beastly nature of a human and was more faithful to her animalistic instincts. Therefore, while she might have disliked alcohol as a human deity, she had no such concerns as a beast deity.
"Is it a leopard or a tiger? Hehehe~! We'll know once we strip it naked." Quetzalcoatl laughed like a lovesick woman, about to dismantle the little tiger's body parts one by one.
"Gahhh! Shirou! Help!" The captured little tiger Fujimura curled up, tightly protecting his chastity, looking like he was about to cry.
'Now is not the time to think!'
At this moment, the little tiger Fujimura was powerless to resist having his arms and legs pried open, and was about to be turned over and have his little bottom admired in front of everyone. Shirou quickly ran up and stopped the rampaging feathered serpent goddess blonde lady.
Feeling his arm being embraced Quetzalcoatl, his face flushed, turned around with hazy, drunken eyes to look at Shirou blocked his way.
"Wait! Quetzalcoatl! Big sister! Calm down! Calm down!" Shirou said, trying to calm him down.
"Oh my! Little Shirou! Do you want to play games with your big sister too?" The feathered serpent goddess's eyes blazed with fury.
Something seems off. It's like a woman who's been suppressing her feelings for a long time, her whole body is hot, and her mind is filled with desire.
At that moment, Shirou had a sudden inspiration and remembered something.
"There are many legends about feathered serpent goddess, one of which seems to say that he was drugged by other gods, then, in his drunken stupor, took advantage of his sister, and was ultimately driven from his throne as the sun god..."
Shirou realized he seemed to have remembered some very important information, but it was too late.
There are two types of deities: one is the meta-concept of deities, which are based on human imagination.
The former is without desire or want, it is the way of heaven, integrated into nature. It seems very ordinary, but it is indispensable. Like the mountain god, the earth god, and the water god, even if humans no longer exist, as long as there are creatures with the corresponding intelligence, there will still be other creatures that will worship them.
The latter is embellished with various magical attributes, being omniscient and omnipotent, unique in the world, not only controlling human life but also influencing human death, high above, ruling over all living beings in the world, while at the same time acknowledging humankind's status as the most intelligent of all beings.
However, through rational thought, it becomes clear that all of this is an illusion. When the Earth is 4.6 billion years old, humans, starting from upright apes, have only existed for 2 million years. And the Homo sapiens species, which evolved into modern humans, has only existed for 200,000 years.
Humanity's establishment of civilization, the invention of weapons to subdue wild beasts, and the period during which it truly held a dominant position in the world have only spanned a mere few thousand years.
To say that such a being is the only primate in the world would be far too arrogant.
The omniscient and omnipotent gods in those religious pantheons who are praised as the creators of humanity and the earth are, of course, nothing more than delusions.
Spend Seven Heavens creating the world, but need to rest on Sundays.
As the supreme deity, he made the rabbit throw itself into the fire to show its piety.
These religious deities exist because they are needed by believers, and they are great because of the existence of believers. They spread their religion by leveraging the influence of believers, and they also possess the power to influence human beliefs, but these beliefs are often exaggerated. At least on Earth, there is no supreme god that is universally recognized by all of humanity.
The Buddha holds three thousand worlds in his palm, the Jade Emperor rules the universe, and a single general like Tianpeng controls the Milky Way. However, Christianity do not believe in the six realms of reincarnation, and vice versa.
Burning incense and chanting scriptures isn't for seeing winged bird-men; the paper money we burn is for making life better for our families in the afterlife. It's not for sending them to heaven or purgatory—people recognize indulgences that cost a lot of money to enter heaven.
Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that when the white light descended from the first type of god, the white god who was the creator of all things in the concept, it was only by chance that it came to this world due to the turbulence of spacetime, and that was enough to cause these gods to lose their original power.
Because the world here no longer allows the existence of gods and humans, and feathered serpent goddess has always stayed in the forest and has never done anything to humans, Little Gil was unaware of her existence.
Yes, Quetzalcoatl was born as Beast God. Compared to humans who emphasize morality and etiquette, beasts certainly have feelings like kinship, friendship, and love, but they are more driven by their own desires.
Especially after getting completely drunk, the brain's perception is like being in a dream, forgetting common sense and abandoning all worries in the present moment.
Feathered serpent goddess, now transformed into a drunken, dissolute blonde woman, tossed the little tiger away and turned to Shirou, grinning foolishly, saying, "Looking at him now, isn't Shirou quite adorable even before he grew up?"
"Wait! Wait! Put me down! Why did I turn into this just from being drunk? It's scary!" Before he could react, Shirou was hoisted onto his shoulder.
