The FFF Brigade's Standard-Bearer / Offer Up Your Harem ...

"No, no, you've misunderstood. Jeanne d'Arc' Arc isn't a bad person at all," Shirou waved his hand, explaining to the silver-haired girl.

Little Saint chimed in, "Exactly! Which of you saw her as the kind of smart girl who would pretend to be innocent? Although she's the grown-up version of me, which is a little disappointing, she's not actually that bad."

"Shut up, brat! Don't think that pretending to be a good kid will make it easier for you to get close to Mr. Shirou. I'm only letting you off the hook because of Kayako." Sachiko pointed at Little Saint without any politeness.

"What kind of person I'll become when I grow up isn't something I can choose! Compared to my black self, my white self is definitely better! Besides, elementary school students have the right to pursue the people they like!" Little Saint shouted loudly, his hands hanging down in grievance and his fists clenched.

It's almost like a self-destructive loser complaining about their birth parents for not making them prettier or smarter—the kind of irrational behavior you'd expect. But when applied to Little Saint, it's actually somewhat understandable.

Little Saint has always been able to understand Nobita's feelings when he reads comics. When he sees his middle and high school self through the time machine and realizes that he has not made any progress, he feels utterly disappointed, frustrated, and even desperate.

"Hey!! Whose side are you on?!" Black Saber turned around in a frenzy and yelled at Little Saint.

"Well, as long as we keep the glory of the Lord in our hearts, I believe everyone will get better and better," the blonde girl said, trying to persuade her.

"Ah... Although you are called the White Rose, and are respected and loved by your teachers, classmates, and juniors at school, it's like sunshine that you can smile and accept anyone, and you would help anyone, no matter who they are. It's so dazzling. But the more someone like you is, the less likely they are to understand our thoughts." Kayako lowered her head and said in a deep voice.

"Eh? I may not know everything, but if you have anything you want to talk about, feel free to come and discuss it with me anytime," the blonde girl said to the ghosts. She didn't lie; everything she said came from the bottom of her heart.

"Ah... My former homeroom teacher said something similar. She told me to be strong, to believe in something, and to look forward to the future, but in the end, when I was being bullied, she just watched and did nothing. So later I took off her head and used her mouth to grow flowers."

"If prayer really worked, we wouldn't be here. If there's a god, why didn't he save us in the first place!" Delia said indignantly, emanating a dark energy fluctuation from her body.

"In the end! To live together and spend every day together just because you're cousins, that's too cunning! All three of you are unforgivable, especially the one in black, who frequents the Black Tea House so often, absolutely unforgivable!" Sachiko said through gritted teeth.

"Brothers and sisters, cousins are one thing, but I never expected them to be distant relatives, cousins who can marry. You monopolized the Holy Grail and the power of the world in the first place, just for this kind of abuse of power, right? Because you didn't want everything to be too obvious, you made White Rose and this girl your sisters."

Later, they loosened the restrictions, allowing other Servant and ghosts to enter this world and be added to the setting. This way, you can legitimately stay with Shirou, who has become your cousin, without revealing your true feelings."

"Huh? Is that so? I thought it was because I've always been a good kid that I got lucky. I'm quite capable, huh? My future self..." Little Saint looked at the silver-haired girl with a look of sudden realization, as if he had come to a new understanding of himself.

"How do you know..." The silver-haired girl looked at the female ghosts in surprise upon hearing these words, revealing her exposed expression.

"Huh?" Shirou looked at the silver-haired girl with a somewhat surprised expression upon hearing this.

The silver-haired girl quickly realized something was wrong, her face flushing red. She forced a smile and hurriedly corrected herself, saying, "No! They're all wrong! Who would think that?! I never thought that! Shirou, turn your head away! Don't look at me!"

"No, I don't think there's anything wrong with it," Shirou said with a kind smile.

"Stop nagging! I'm just that kind of serious woman. I want to be with the person I like all the time, I want to cling to them, is that not allowed?!" the silver-haired girl roared in despair.

"Ah... here we go again. She uses this arrogant tactic to win over men's hearts, doesn't she? Men really are all idiots. Maybe quite a few guys even feel good after being scolded by this woman, thinking she's especially cute." Sachiko lowered her head, a black aura emanating from her body. For some reason, this time, her resentment was even more terrifying than before.

"Mr. Shirou, we actually wanted to be friends with you. If it weren't for this situation, we wouldn't have gone to this extent," Kayako said earnestly, looking at Shirou. Her tone was one of unwavering certainty.

Delia floated over and said, "Yes, although we've caused trouble for Mr. Shirou, we have to make some kind of resolution with this woman, otherwise our resentment will never be resolved."

"What?! You're just looking for trouble, aren't you? Why all the talk? Let's just start fighting!" Black Saber scratched her head impatiently, but she had no idea what was going on or what the consequences would be.

"Hmm... If this stupid look is an act, then the acting skills are Oscar-worthy," Kayako said.

"But if she's not faking it, then it means she's truly hopelessly stupid," Delia interjected.

"Ha... It's all because of that willful, stupid woman that things have come to this. Our happy, pretentious human life can't continue anymore. It's not too much for me to teach her a lesson, is it?" Sachiko said impatiently.

"What exactly do you want? This time you're going to have to explain yourselves clearly!!! Of course! Only after I've beaten you until you're crying and begging for mercy, saying 'I'll never do it again'!!!" Black Saber summoned a black banner, and scorching demonic flames erupted around her.

"Let us answer your question!" At this moment, the nearly two-meter-tall monster Bluebeard appeared, holding the heretical grimoire Magecraft book in his hand, standing on a Magecraft circle diagram that emitted a mixture of black and red evil energy. He smiled, revealing his bright red lips.

"Huh? Gil? What are you doing here?" The silver-haired girl asked, looking at the newcomer with surprise.

Chapter 535 Offer Up Your Harem

Avengers like Black Saber are actually quite similar to vengeful spirits. They both harbor various grievances and hatreds in their hearts, single-mindedly seeking revenge. They are driven by anger, yet bound and tormented by negative emotions, existing in the world as unfortunate and dangerous monsters.

Kayako is the vengeful spirit of someone who was wrongly accused of infidelity by her husband and killed, along with her son and cat...

Delia was a child who was bullied by classmates, ignored by inactive teachers, and whose family was broken before she died in despair at school.

Sachiko was originally an innocent and carefree elementary school student. Her mother was the school's health doctor. She was pushed down the stairs and killed while trying to escape the brutal principal's rape. Sachiko, who was a witness at the time, was also strangled to death on the spot. The incident was covered up as an accident and a disappearance.

Sachiko, now a vengeful spirit, begins her revenge, turning Tenjin Elementary School into a demon realm filled with ever-deep resentment. This involves witches and curses, but she was initially just a victim herself.

So, Black Saber does indeed share similarities with these vengeful spirits, but it is precisely because of these similarities that she seems even more unforgivable.

"Hehehehe! Hehehehe!" Upon hearing the girl's question, Gilles de Rais laughed loudly, ran his long-fingered fingers through his hair, and then spoke.

"Of course it's because I heard your call in my heart, Saintess, Jeanne d'Arc! Young and pure Little Saint, my lady... uh!" Before Gilles de Rais could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a punch to the kidney from the person next to him, and Gilles de Rais fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the silver-haired girl clicked her tongue and extinguished the fireball in her hand, while the blonde girl beside her also released the brick-sized rock she had just picked up.

"Haha, it's a bit sudden, but we're here. Good evening, ladies. We're here uninvited, please don't mind." Arash, the ruggedly handsome man, greeted us with a hearty laugh.

"Ah... Lord Arash!!!" the female ghost screamed.

Miss Hanako, who had been radiating murderous intent and had transformed into a terrifying ghost, instantly withdrew all her dark aura. Her clothes were completely renewed, her hair was neatly combed, and she transformed... it was as if she had undergone a metamorphosis. She became a quiet, Literature Department high school girl with long bangs.

"You... you've come back here..." Delia ran up to Arash, her expression like that of a little woman looking at a man she admires, her fingers tucked into her sleeve as she asked softly.

"Ah, I hadn't seen you at the shop for the past two days, Delia -chan. When I heard Delia were at school, I didn't think much of it and just came over. I just wanted to see your face. I hope I haven't bothered you?" Arash laughed heartily, looking at Delia and asking softly.

"No... how could that be! No, I... I mean I'm really happy." She said shyly, her face flushed, but her smile was as sweet as honey.

"Really? That's great! Hahaha!" Arash laughed loudly in agreement.

"Huh? What's going on?" Black Saber opened her mouth, narrowed her eyes, and looked completely bewildered.

In front of Kayako walked Siegfried, a handsome long-haired man wearing a stylish casual suit.

"Kayako- san, I've come to see you." Siegfried walked right up to her, opened his arms, and was about to hug Kayako.

"Wait, Mr. Siegfried, my child is still here," Kayako said hesitantly in a low voice.

"It's alright. Since you're Kayako- san's child, I think we'll meet sooner or later. It might take some time, but I think we'll get along well," Siegfried said without a hint of apology.

"Mr. Siegfried ..." Kayako seemed to melt as she leaned against the long-haired handsome man's chest.

"Huh?" The silver-haired girl next to her raised her eyebrows, her eyelids twitching uncontrollably, completely unable to accept this scene.

At this moment, the handsome young man walked over and said:

"Sachiko -chan, I never expected you to be like this before! You're so cute, and you even look quite tough. I love it!"

"Hmm... Is that so? Alex, do you prefer Western clothes or Japanese clothes?" Sachiko blushed, lowered her head, and asked in a soft, sweet voice.

"Sachiko looks adorable in either outfit. I'm so happy as long as Sachiko is by my side." Alexander, a handsome young man, spoke sweet nothings without any formal instruction.

"Haha?" The silver-haired girl next to her raised one eyebrow and grinned so wide she couldn't close her mouth.

'Where did that vengeful ghost who wanted to tear me to pieces, cut off my tongue, and gouge out my eyes go? And who are you?!' The silver-haired girl felt like something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable. But the sight terrified her so much that she choked.

Shirou, with an expression that said "I understand how you feel, but don't say anything," stepped forward, patted the silver-haired girl on the back, and massaged her stiff shoulders to help her Matsushita.

"So... why did they come here?" Black Saber looked at the Imitation Heroic Spirits and asked Shirou with great confusion.

"It's like this." Shirou chuckled lightly. The story begins last night.

Since it seemed that Black Saber was disliked by the female ghosts, Shirou thought for a moment and then found a key point: the female ghosts all seemed to mention the girls at the Black Tea House. So the next morning, he took some time to go to the Black Tea House and, just in case, asked them to come and help out that night.

As expected, the female ghosts who had benefited from this world intensified their resistance against Black Saber Alter because they felt that Black Saber Alter, who was their own kind, was far too greedy. She monopolized the café manager Shirou and also wanted to win over the hearts of the handsome men in the Black Tea House.

Fortunately, the misunderstanding has now been cleared up.

Resentment and revenge will eventually grow weary, when even the targets of revenge disappear from this world. One either succumbs to hysteria or wallows in self-pity, leaving only endless emptiness and confusion. Perhaps the ghosts are simply too lonely. If anything could dispel the resentment and bitterness in their hearts, perhaps only love could.

Chapter 536 The Battle That Never Began

"Mr. Arash ... but is it really okay for me to be with a ghost like me?" Delia asked doubtfully.

"Well, if we're talking about spirits, ghosts and Servant are only separated by a fine line, and we fakes aren't real Servant either. If Servant are the shadows of Servant in the human world, then we're just like the afterimages of those shadows reflected in water—merely ethereal existences."

Arash, with a hearty smile, grasped the woman's hand and said:

"Besides, our friendship isn't something we'd bother with these little things, Miss Hanako. We had a lot of fun together."

"Ah... Mr. Arash..." Miss Hanako blushed. The introverted girl was completely powerless against cheerful and open-hearted types who were honest with everyone.

"Well then, lovely Sachiko -chan, let's go together." Alexander, a handsome young man with red hair and braids, stepped forward, extended his hand, and said with a smile.

"Well... since you've invited me like this... I guess I can keep you company for a little while." Sachiko blushed and placed her hand in Alexander's palm.

"Toshio, Junxiong. I'm Siegfried. I'd like to invite your mother out to play. Would you like to?" Siegfried, holding Kayako's hand, approached the little boy, squatted down, and asked with a gentle smile.

"..." The little boy looked at the man, then at his mother, and finally nodded.

"Really? Thank you. I've made a promise to protect your mother. Let's go to the amusement park together next time," Siegfried said with a smile.

"Well... Toshio, Mom will be going out for a little while," Kayako said shyly.

"..." The little boy picked up the cat and waved to her.

"But Toshio, don't you have any objections?" Little Saint asked the ghost boy beside him.

"..." The little boy shook his head and waved his hand.

"Mmm, really? If Mom can be happy, that's enough. So gentle... You're amazing," Little Saint exclaimed.

"..." The ghost boy scratched his head sheepishly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shirou. From now on, we will make sure all the ghosts behave themselves. They won't leave this ghost realm without our orders, so you can rest assured," Kayako assured her.

"Is that so? That's great. Let's put the unpleasantness of the past behind us. But is that enough for you?" Shirou looked at the three female ghosts, then at the Imitation Heroic Spirits, and spoke.

If they have any other requests, Shirou will try his best to fulfill them. He hopes they can live a more fulfilling life in the days to come and leave satisfied.

Kayako, Delia, and Sachiko exchanged glances, then looked at their favorite Prince Charming beside them. They nodded and smiled in agreement.

"Hmm, that's enough."

By this time, their resentment had dissipated, and their hearts had returned to peace. In fact, at the beginning, all they wanted was a little happiness.

"Then we'll be leaving now. We'll spend the rest of the days with them," Arash said, waving to Shirou.

"Sure, that's exactly why I'm doing this – to make the girls smile." Siegfried agreed.

"Yes, living happily and dedicating yourself to your dreams is the most important thing. Because my current role is that of a well-behaved and adorable younger brother, my ambition is to bring happiness to Jeanne d'Arc of Alexander, and also to all the older and younger sisters." Alexander agreed.

The three female ghosts were never the type to crave excessive happiness. Now that their wish had been fulfilled, they simply let go of all their arguments and prepared to leave with the handsome men. They seemed as easy to deal with as someone else, but the smiles on their faces were genuine.

"Oh right, here you go. This is your partner, right? She looked really scary to me, so Sachiko and I sealed her away together." At that moment, Delia remembered something and floated back.

She created a space, from which a black iron cage descended, containing a humanoid figure tightly bound with black straps, resembling a black mummy.

"Ah, for the first time I feel that you did the right thing." The silver-haired girl sighed as she looked at the humanoid figure wrapped in layers of black bandages, which restricted the movement of its hands and feet.

"Ughhhhh!!! Ughhhh~!" The black humanoid figure, completely wrapped in a long black cloth, writhed like an earthworm and even jumped up and down.

"What is this?" Little Saint and the little boy took a few steps back in fear.

"Eek..." Black Saber showed a disgusted look, walked forward, stepped on the black humanoid's head, and rubbed it to the ground.

The black-bandaged humanoid figure trembled slightly, then its body strangely elongated, straightened its toes, and stretched outwards repeatedly, convulsing.

"... I think I recognize her too," Shirou said, covering his face.

The silver-haired girl unleashed flames—demonic flames that fed on resentment—which instantly ignited upon contact with the bandages. In less than a minute, the upper half of the bandages was burned away.

The bound woman revealed her true appearance: long, light green hair, a tall figure, and a beauty tinged with a certain wildness—it was Brynhildr.

"Elder Sister ~! Please save me! Thank you, Elder Sister ~! I know you won't abandon me, Elder Sister ahhhhhh~!" Brynhildr's eyes sparkled with hearts as she jumped up from the ground and pounced on the silver-haired girl.

"Enough, behave yourself," Black Saber reached out and blocked the face of the light green-haired girl who lunged forward. Although Brynhildr tried her best to move forward, her head couldn't get any closer, and it was all in vain.

"Hmm? Maybe releasing her earlier would have been more advantageous for us," Delia remarked with a sigh upon seeing the scene.

"It seems alright now. So, besides men, she also wants women, and this type at that. She's really 'perverted'," Sachiko floated over and said.

"Shut up! This was an accident! You female ghosts, don't spout nonsense without knowing the facts, or I'll burn you!" the silver-haired girl roared in a frenzy.

"These female ghosts are the enemies? I understand! My Elder Sister! Leave it to me! No matter what kind of monster they are, I will protect you!" Brynhildr summoned her magnificent spear, her fighting spirit soaring as she excitedly twirled it in her hand.

"Enough, shut your mouth. The battle is over," Black Saber Alter said impatiently, pulling her back.

Brynhildr froze, then clutched her head and cried out, "Wait... is it really over? Huh? Huh!!!"

Chapter 537 A Smiling Portrait

After that, having accepted the invitation from their Prince Charming and spent time with the man they loved, the contented ghosts opened the passage, allowing everyone to return to the junior high school building.

The female ghost laughed gleefully and went out to play with their prince, leaving Shirou and the girls standing in the junior high school building with mixed feelings. Brynhildr was sent back to her dormitory by the silver-haired girl.

"But that's really how it is. After all this trouble, the problem was finally solved not by fighting or persuading, but by the male waiter. What kind of nonsense is this?!" Black Saber complained angrily.

"But the ghosts have stopped causing trouble, which is a good thing. But is this really a good solution?" Little Saint tilted his head and said, looking conflicted.

"Well, once the problem is solved, everyone will be happy. I think this must be a revelation from God, so don't worry, He will definitely forgive everyone." The blonde girl clasped her hands together and said with a devout expression.
