The Great Witch Circe / Medea's Partner ...

Shirou chuckled dryly and said, "After all, as goddesses, they are the real deal. According to Japanese custom, it would really be appropriate to build an altar to worship them."

"Is that so..." Yukino Yukinoshita wondered to herself whether she should also buy a Guanyin statue that grants children. If her parents still objected, it might come in handy.

"Hmm??" Shirou looked at the girl in confusion.

Shirou and Yukino arrived at the school once again with the two goddesses; it was already past three in the afternoon.

Rumors circulate throughout the school that praying to the witch in the fountain and praising her greatness can bring revenge on bad men. It's said to be one of the most efficacious places in the entire school, where a particularly devoted witch resides. Almost every man who abandons a woman or expresses a desire to break up suffers the consequences; sometimes, even without anyone asking, she will intervene on her own.

Shirou had previously seen some female students at school praying over this spot, but he never imagined they were actually casting a curse.

"What should we do now? Is there a witch here?" Shirou asked, puzzled.

"Don't rush, let's hide first and avoid being discovered," Stheno said.

"Shirou, don't go out yet. Let your girlfriend go over there and pray," Euryale added.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, walked towards the fountain, clasped her hands together in front of her chest as if in prayer, and muttered some words.

Suddenly, the water in the fountain sprayed out faster, and then a figure flew out from the water curtain.

"Hahaha! Another bad man is going to get punished!"

"Hehehe, worship me even more!"

"Let me help you turn bad men into pigs, deer, or chicks!"

In a sight unseen by ordinary people, at the very top of the fountain pool, a barefoot little girl stands proudly, gracefully dancing and laughing as she recites lyrics.

"Hahaha~! With the porridge, delicious food, and fine wine I made, I turned all those guys into my pets." The little girl laughed, spreading her arms wide as she spoke.

"Hahaha, humans, let me hear your pitiful tales!" Circe ignored the humans below, who couldn't actually hear her, and spoke to herself. She was satisfied as long as she heard about other people's tragic experiences, especially the stories of children who were worse off than her. Of course, as a reward, she would avenge the abandoned and pitiful.

"The person I hate... isn't one!" Yukino Yukinoshita paused before speaking.

"Huh? What? You can see me?" Circe bent down in surprise, looking at the girl below.

"Now!!!" The two goddesses hiding in the bushes raised their arms and led the charge out!

Chapter 802 The Great Witch Circe

Stheno and Euryale led the way, rushing out of the bushes, while Shirou and the horned giant remained where they were, not moving.

Euryale immediately summoned her magic bow, which was filled with heart-shaped arrows, and shot them at the great witch Circe, who was frolicking on a high place.

A cold arrow flew past the ear of the girl-like Circe, startling her so much that she almost fell off the fountain.

"Whoa! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! How dare they challenge a witch like me! I'm running away! No, I should call it a strategic retreat!" Circe knew that although she had some advantages in class, she was outnumbered and no match for the goddess.

So he released smoke, intending to take the opportunity to escape first, and then teach these arrogant fools a lesson once he had gathered his help.

"Don't even think about it! Hey! Medusa, catch this stupid bird!" Stheno and Euryale acted simultaneously, draining a large amount of magic from Circe, who was about to unleash a skill.

"Yes, my Elder Sister!" Little Medusa threw out the chains, binding Circe as her body went limp.

Circe, the great witch dressed in Greek attire draped in eagle feathers, was thus captured. In Greek gods, she wasn't known for her fighting prowess, but rather for concocting all sorts of bizarre potions, even capable of transforming goddesses into monsters. She would entertain men who strayed onto her island with her homemade divine porridge and wine, providing them with the finest service and endless delicacies. They would linger, captivated, and unknowingly become her livestock, remaining on the island forever.

"Hmph, so it's you three heretical gods! You clearly lost to us, yet you still dared to bring back helpers to retaliate!" Circe, who had been captured, looked at the newcomers and said irritably.

"Children? Do you have the right to talk to us like that?" Stheno said, glancing at Circe smile.

"That's right! Not only is she small, but she also seems a bit dim-witted," Euryale said with a laugh.

"Um... Aunt... please don't argue with Euryale and the others," the tall giant Asterius, trying to persuade her.

"Don't call me auntie! Pasiphae's son! Why do I have to be treated like a child by the men who have their eyes on me, while other younger people call me auntie?!" Circe screamed in a frenzy, clutching her head and rolling on the ground.

Although Circe was taller, Stheno and Euryale possessed a maturity far exceeding that of the childlike Circe, a natural and untamed allure befitting the goddess whose beauty constantly attracted Greek heroes to vie for her. After all, she was a perfect goddess, possessing a beauty that even Athena would envy. In matters of beauty, if they so desired, they could become the dream girls of others.

The only difference is that when others imitate beauties, they are merely mimicking Xi Shi, while these women can be Xi Shi or Diao Chan as they wish.

"What!?" Circe was furious, glaring at Stheno and Euryale through gritted teeth.

"If it were us, Odysseus would only recruit soldiers to fight for us."

"Well, that's what those Great Hero do, after all," Stheno said to Euryale, looking at Circe with a mocking expression.

"Don't mention that liar's name to me! That heartless bastard!" Circe said frantically. She realized that she was no match for the two of them on her own! No! She had to find help! What was Medea doing right now? Why hadn't she sensed the intrusion alarm yet?

At this very moment, a mature beauty with long, light blue hair, like an elf, is covering her mouth and talking to a stern-faced male professor in a classroom. If Shirou saw this person, he would be shocked, because she looks exactly like a teacher in Fuyuki City.

In short, Medea, who was enjoying herself, had no time to heed her aunt's distress signals and was completely oblivious to them.

"If you won't admit defeat and beg for mercy, then do it, Medusa!" Euryale commanded.

"Yeah, let's not worry about whether she admits defeat or not, let's just beat her up first," Stheno said with a laugh, befitting her status as the eldest sister.

Close the door, release Medusa! Those two Elder Sister are just that direct and simple.

Little Medusa tightened her grip on the chain scythe; her current situation was much better than when she had become the larger version of herself.

Circe rolled her eyes, glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, her eyes lit up, and pointed at Stheno and Euryale, calling out:

"Hey! Yukino, you're a college girl, you know! I've protected you guys before, so hurry up and get rid of these annoying brats! They're evil gods who hate humans the most!"

"Well, I have no interest in the battles between Greek gods. Since you've lost, then please remove the curse from my Shirou. He turns into a cat every day at sunset. He's cute, but at night he can only be used as a body pillow. To be honest, it's quite annoying." Yukino Yukinoshita said to the Great Witch without any politeness.

"As expected of our ally, we like you even more now, even though we dislike other humans. How about we give you some special rewards? If you have any requests, just say them now." Stheno and Euryale both expressed their growing appreciation for Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Then thank you for your appreciation, Goddess. I'm just happy if my boyfriend's curse is lifted a little faster," Yukino Yukinoshita said.

So Yukino stood with the two goddesses, arms crossed, looking down at Circe who was surrounded.

Circe, under intense scrutiny, glanced at Medusa Lily, then at Shirou. These were the humans they had tormented; there was no way they would ever abandon their evil ways again.

"Don't hit me... I'm not the only one who cast the curse! So we have to find Medea and the others. Of course... I'll lead the way!" Circe her head and squatted on the ground, admitting defeat.

Sthenos and Euryale, in their true sense, were more like primordial native gods who were then invaded by the rising Greek gods. The two who did not resist became virgin goddesses plundered by heroes, while Medusa, who resisted, was described as a supreme monster.

However, Athena, jealous of Medusa's beauty, transformed her into a monster and then incited heroes from all sides to fight against her. In the end, Percival accomplished this great feat. This story is not about a good god defeating an evil god, but rather a conclusion based on the belief that the victor is king and the loser is villain.

Chapter 803 Medea's Object

Just like the phoenix of Chu and the black bird of Qin, when their countries were powerful, they were once unparalleled Divine Beast, but in the end they became appendages of the dragon. Although Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was born in Chu and rose to power on the land of Qin, he inherited the orthodoxy of the Chinese nation, so the Han ethnicity are still called 'Descendants of the Dragon'.

To some extent, these are all cultural victories. Although ancient military powers only emerged from invading barbarians or warlords who controlled remote areas, they were never the peaceful and culturally advanced Central Plains. Instead, they were the poor and remote border regions that had experienced the humiliation of invasion, united as one, and determined to seek revenge and rise up. They began to actively reform and seek survival, and thus rose to become military powers.

However, once a military superpower has conquered the world, the old method of using war to sustain war is certainly not feasible in order to maintain its vast empire. It is still necessary to promote the most advanced culture. As with all dynasties throughout history, they could only actively cater to Sinicization.

Of the Four Great Ancient Civilizations, only the Chinese civilization has survived to the present day. This is because the superiority of its cultural system played a crucial role. Although Confucianism has become increasingly conservative and outdated, it remains second to none in maintaining social stability.

However, such a dominant power always has its limits. In the later period, the Qing Dynasty became corrupt and complacent. The Eight Banners officials were all unreliable. When Empress Dowager Cixi took power, she still had to rely on Han Chinese ministers to prolong the dynasty for several more decades.

The civilization of the Greek city-states was undoubtedly unprecedentedly advanced for its time, which is why it was spread by Alexander to the various lands he passed through, then inherited by Rome, declined during wars, and then rose again during the Renaissance.

Regardless, Circe and the Medusa three sisters, descendants of the Greek gods, were natural enemies. Unfortunately, the victor of the past is now being completely suppressed.

"Ugh... Such arrogant women! If it were before, I would have turned you all into pigs!" Circe muttered under her breath, but unfortunately, she had no choice but to bow her head in front of Medusa Lily and Shirou.

At this very moment, in the university's teaching area, a mature foreign beauty with pointed ears, somewhat like an elf, and long, light blue hair, was in a classroom talking to a man.

Circe was encircled by chains around her neck, while Medusa held the other end of the chain, with the others following behind.

Shirou secretly rejoiced, thankful that the two goddesses had ways to avoid being noticed; otherwise, this scene would have looked like walking a little girl like a dog, which would have been a crime no matter how you looked at it.

Shirou, Yukino, and the others, led by Circe, arrived at a school building.

They went inside. By then, the students had already finished class, and there weren't many people on the roadside. Circe accurately sensed Medea's location and led the group to the door of a classroom. From there, they could faintly hear Medea talking to someone.

"Are we just going to go straight in like this?" Shirou asked in a low voice.

"Don't rush, let me peek first." The eldest sister Stheno, said with a mischievous smile. Using her ability to conceal her presence, she peeked inside, then turned back, revealing an expression that suggested she had witnessed something interesting.

This prompted the others to curiously peer inside. To avoid making noise, Medusa recalled her chains, and even the captured Circe, unable to resist her curiosity, followed suit and looked inside.

Inside, a beautiful woman with blue hair was standing at the teacher's podium, chatting with a man in his thirties. The man seemed serious and unsmiling, but she herself seemed to be enjoying herself, like a young girl in the throes of first love.

A professor at the university, who looks exactly like Souichirou Kuzuki, is a serious man with glasses who rarely smiles. He mainly leads research teams and is very low-key.

So unless you're a student in his class, you basically don't know who he is.

When Shirou first saw him, he almost thought this was another world where the Holy Grail War had mutated. He must be the new identity of Kuzuki- sensei in a parallel world. His straight back suggested he exercised regularly, but it was unclear whether he would still use that eerie Snake Fist from their first meeting.

Fortunately, this world is peaceful and doesn't have much of the darkness of the underworld, so Shirou felt relieved. He never expected that Caster would still find him; indeed, fate is something that can't be explained.

Shirou sighed inwardly.

Back then, Medea was fatally wounded while protecting Kuzuki, and Kuzuki, having lost his Magecraft enhancements, also made a challenge against him, a Servant, knowing he would die, for Medea's sake.

Seeing the same scene, everyone here showed a different expression.

For example, the side led by the two goddesses.

"Hmph, very good, now we know another witch's weakness."

"If we could just take that man as our prisoner, I wonder what kind of expression that witch would make? Just imagining it sounds quite interesting."

"Elder Sister, this kind of thing is really..." Medusa, the good girl, tried to advise her two older sisters.

"Hmm... you foolish sister, do you want to say something?"

"Because Medusa so cute right now, we'll continue to love you no matter what you say," Stheno and Euryale asked, staring at the little girl in unison.

"No... no... I didn't say anything..." Little Medusa shrank her neck, once again yielding to her sisters' will.

'... It seems even Medusa here isn't having an easy time,' Shirou thought to himself, having witnessed everything.

Several people were peering into the room from the doorway. Medea's shy demeanor clearly indicated that she was interested in the professor.

'Does a guy like that really have the right to punish other men for other women?' Shirou and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance and thought to themselves in unison.

Another example is Circe, the captured witch Medea's companion.

'Tsk!!! Damn it! Medea, that traitor! She actually ran off to find a man, but she seems quite happy. I'm so envious...' Circe bit her finger, her mind in turmoil. Was she more angry or furious? No, she felt a little pathetic for even contemplating such a question.

Circe, his heart filled with turmoil, glared resentfully at the despicable couple inside.

Chapter 804 Aunt, are you kidding me?

Medea was betrayed by the person she loved during her lifetime, and in her extreme revenge, she cruelly destroyed everything, leaving behind an infamous reputation for all time. Even though this history has been washed away by time, leaving only fragments in a mythology, the title of the betraying witch has still been passed down.

An extreme and terrifying witch, so cruel that she doesn't even spare her own brothers or her own children.

But all she really wanted was love. As the saying goes, there is no hatred without a cause, nor is there love without a cause. She thought she would never have true love again, and she didn't have much hope for the incomplete Holy Grail. But unexpectedly, the Holy Grail War gave her a new opportunity.

Souichirou Kuzuki, that aloof man, chose to protect her as she waited in the rain for her magic to run out and disappear, having just killed the Master who had summoned her. The man was as cold as a machine, disciplined in everything he did, even to the point of being rigid. He had no extra desires, and while he didn't crave the Holy Grail, he became her new Master.

Everything she did at Ryudoji Temple was simply to be with this man forever.

"Medea." At this moment, Professor Kuzuki looked at the woman and called out.

"Yes!!" The blue-haired, elfin-like lady blushed and answered when she heard the person she liked call her name.

"Um... is that little girl over there looking for you?" At this moment, Professor Kuzuki pointed to the back door and asked.

"Aunt? Oh my god!" Medea only then noticed the gaze outside the door and cried out.

"Hoo hoo hoo..." The eldest and Second Sister chuckled maliciously, looking this way.

Medea's forehead was covered in sweat, as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

"What do they want from you? If they need any help..." Professor Kuzuki spoke up at this moment, seemingly showing a different side of Medea than his expressionless face suggested.

"No! Teacher, they are acquaintances of mine. They probably want to talk to me about something," Medea quickly changed her tune, not wanting to drag Teacher Kuzuki into the battle any further.

"Is that so? Then I'll head back to my office. Goodbye," Professor Kuzuki nodded and said.

"Ah... yes, goodbye, Professor," Medea replied with some regret.

Professor Kuzuki, who looked very much like Souichirou Kuzuki, nodded and then turned and left.

"So... Medea actually wanted to stay with this teacher, which is why she set up her base here?" Circe squinted, looking suspiciously at her adult niece beside her.

"No! Aunt! He's just someone who looks a lot like Lord Souichirou. I know he's not the same person I've met before, even though their personalities are very similar. So he wouldn't do anything wrong; he's just killing time." Medea tried to explain, but for some reason, the more she explained, the more suspicious she seemed.

"Traitor... I don't want to hear your explanation," Circe said, clearly annoyed.

"Uh..." Medea knew she was in the wrong. As for the alliance of the three witches, in order to protect innocent girls and punish the stinky men who hurt girls' hearts, of course, in reality, only Circe was really enjoying punishing these things, while the others had their own things to do.

"I'm sorry, Aunt, I'll make it up to you. But that man isn't a bad guy, you know," Medea said, bowing deeply.

"Well, I'm not being unreasonable. Medea, it's wonderful that you've been able to move on from the past," Circe said with her arms crossed, looking rather haughty.

Although Medea secretly engaged in extramarital affairs behind her family's back, she was ultimately a human being who lived for the pursuit of happiness, not for the sake of morality.

No one is without making mistakes!

While morality is noble, like any religion that has survived for thousands of years, its essence and starting point must be good and sacred. However, those who hold religious power are not so, which is why they produce contradictory figures like fanatics who seem to be completely contrary to the doctrine, and why all sorts of sordid things happen within religions.
