Chapter 181

"How could something like this happen..."

"Can't accept this?"

"Well, that's... of course!"

"Yeah?"

Kisshouin used one index finger to pull open his mouth and continued speaking with a subtle smile.

"Lady Novia, you must have included 'me' when you said 'everyone,' right? In that case, I simply can't stand it. This is such a blissful thing for me."

The petite, Black-Haired Girl's smile was so dazzling that it gave Sion the feeling that this child, whose mind was so focused on that kind of place, was actually the Savior of humanity. She was so mature, even though she didn't look that old.

"Originally, the reason I invited you, Sister Sion, was because you seemed to have come up with some interesting games when you first started learning. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you. But since that's the case, I'll just have to go by myself."

After saying that, Kisshouin walked away without looking back.

Damn it, you little brat, you can just leave without even telling me...

At this moment, Sion was completely dizzy and caught in a dilemma.

For her, the mere presence of Novia made her unconsciously nervous, making it impossible for her to do anything that a lover would do.

Just making eye contact with Novia sent a shiver down her spine, and she dared not look at anything more. Or, to put it another way, for Shion, just being together with Sion was enough to bring her a lot of warmth.

However, things had already come to this point, and her Desire were surging even stronger. So, less than a second after Kisshouin, the purple-haired girl blushed deeply, her eyes darting off somewhere, and she clutched her chest, trembling as she cried out:

"Wait... take me with you..."

Subsequently, upon being questioned by Kisshouin, the two revealed that they had prepared themselves with the suggested attire of "Thought Partition - Size Unknown" before entering.

Time passed, and the moon hung high in the sky outside the window; it was already late at night.

Only then did Sajyou Manaka, overwhelmed with shame, slowly walk out of the room. Gazing at the empty Hall, she couldn't help but sigh.

As for Melusine and Typhon, since Heavenly Wheel, they had already run back to their own rooms, which they hadn't visited in centuries, to sleep.

"Absolutely, that can't happen again!"

Aika waved her hand fiercely, as if to show the determination she had acquired after spending so much time indoors.

However, after only two or three seconds, she focused all her attention on checking if anyone was still around. But after her search, she confirmed there was absolutely no one there. So, the beautiful girl cautiously crept to the door of the room, intending to...

Hmm? Why is this door closed so tightly today?

Although she was quite puzzled by this, Sajyou Manaka could still hear faint sounds through the door. However, she felt something was strange because it seemed a little different from usual, but she didn't think too much about it and simply assumed that she had eaten too much.

"Next time, no, there definitely won't be a next time..."

The 37-year-old 'beautiful girl' looked tremblingly at her hands and made up her mind.

On the Inner Side of the Planet, Avalon.

"Is today some strange day...? Besides that eerie 'beast,' even Outer God have come! If you want to come, just come! Why did you have to come through here? It's not like you can't go anywhere else. Why did you have to go through Avalon!"

"I can't help but complain," Meli retorted.

Admittedly, stopping these incredible beings is the Planet's mission, but that completely contradicts her principles. She can't care less; she'd rather continue watching Novia being exploited by those women—that's much more interesting...

She hadn't even decided when to enter the dream world to participate, yet she was still busy with this kind of thing.

Sigh, if it weren't for having to put on an act, the Magus of Flowers really wouldn't want to do so much.

"Ugh, why did you stop Abi from doing this?!"

Abigail, waving her tentacles as she fought the succubus wielding Succubus, shouted angrily.

"Abi, all I want is to see my brother!"

The blonde girl, who had originally planned to see her brother as soon as possible, was really annoyed by the White-Haired Goddess Succubus who had suddenly come to bother her. Although her strength was just so-so, her illusion magic was too strong, and she had wasted too much of her time.

"Hmm, I have an older brother too, and it's been so long since I've seen him!"

The Magus of Flowers responded with a smile to Abigail's words.

"Who cares who your brother is! Get out of my way Abi!"

To be honest, Meli felt she probably couldn't hold off the Outer God girl in front of her for long, but in order to put on a good show for the Planet, she specially summoned the Red Fairy who had killed countless Fairy in the Fairy Domain and her companion, Water Spirit from another land, to help her. Although they weren't strong enough, the gesture was enough.

If you do the math, it's about time!

Therefore, Meli shouted:

"Come out! Bavan Shi, Te, Te, Te something again..."

"It's Tenochtitlan."

"Oh right, Tenochtitlan, come out!"

Tlaloc, who appeared first, stared coldly at Meli, then frowned slightly at Abigail.

That Bavan Shi guy, he's going to help this white Succubus fight against this guy?!

Tlaloc felt that even his own brother, with his Tezcatlipoca, couldn't handle this blonde girl, unless... it was that person...

But since I've already been asked to do this, I can only do my best.

Moon Lake showed no fear whatsoever in the face of this.

Ever since Favia entrusted Bavan to her to bring him back to the inner Planet, the aloof girl has spontaneously taken on the role of "mother," though she believes that the relationship between Fairy and elves is more like that of friends.

"Ahem, I'm here, I'm Bawan Xi--"

After Tlaloc, Bavan Shi appeared with a smug look on his face, but then froze upon seeing Abigail, slightly extending his hand—

"Yes, it's you, Abigail..."

How could Bavan Shi not have a deep memory of Abigail, the character whom Favia regarded as her younger sister and who had been kidnapped for three years?

Moreover, even Abigail was deeply impressed by this Fairy whom her brother had been thinking about for nearly twenty years, so she smiled for once.

"Long time no see, Miss Bavan Shi!"

"Um?!"

This caught Meli, who had been smiling the whole time, somewhat off guard. She asked with a hint of curiosity,

"Are you two acquaintances?"

It's already impressive that Fairy born on the inner Planet could befriend elves from another land, but to be connected with Outer God like this is truly astounding. The Magus of Flowers couldn't help but think to herself, "Is this Bawan Shi some kind of Fairy- themed protagonist? How come she's so popular?"

But soon, during her conversation with the three, Meli learned that the person who had brought them together was named Favia.

Abigail's brother, Bavan Shi's friend, Tenochtitlan's... lover?

The reason Meli paused like that was because when she said those words, the looks from the other two made it seem like a fight could break out at any moment.

However, when the Magus of Flowers heard the name Favia, she had some vague ideas.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will most likely be a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, and the family members no longer recognize each other.

In Japan, somewhere in Tokyo, there stands an incredibly luxurious, independent Western-style Western-Style Mansion that is clearly the property of a wealthy family.

At that moment, a loud voice rang out from inside the Western-Style Mansion—

"I don't care about any of that! I want to see my father, I want to see my mother! Grandfather, you have no right to stop me!"

The Orange Hair and Orange Eyes girl lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum without any regard for her appearance, a single tuft of hair on her head drooping in response to her mood.

Her name is Hibino Hibiki, one of the signboard girls of the mysterious Coffee "Ahnenerbe". She works at the café with her friend Katsuragi Chikane, and like her daytime colleague "Cú Chulainn", she is responsible for cooking.

Inside the vast Western-Style Mansion, lying on the floor, she could see a blue telephone as soon as she got up. Usually, Hibino Hibiki used this telephone, also known as Mr. Cellphone, to contact her grandfather.

What she didn't know was that Mr. Cellphone was the grandfather she was talking about, one of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, Kouhaku Alcatraz, and she herself was the Codex Trithemius.

Kouhaku is completely exasperated. Ever since Novia participated in the Holy Grail War, Xiao Xiang, who previously had no awareness of herself, has been clamoring to see her parents. She heard their voices, and now he's been driven to the brink of despair. Since things have come to this, he has no choice but to let her meet them.

"Um, Xiao Xiang, I promise you, but there's one condition you have to promise me."

"Yes! I promise, Xiao Xiang, I'll agree to anything, Grandfather, just say it!"

The girl suddenly became lively, and even her tuft of hair stood up.

"You absolutely mustn't tell anyone I'm your grandfather, okay?"

254: Holy Scripture and False Scripture (4k5)

"Xiao Xiang, are you finally going to see your father?"

Japan, Tokyo, at dusk.

In this bustling City, on that picturesque avenue brimming with the vitality of life.

At this moment, thousands of rays of light are vying for brilliance with the Twilight sky.

Streetlights, car lights, the electrical decorations of commercial districts, the headlights of taxis and the red lights of patrol cars, the lights of bars and restaurants, and shops, or even the Lake in the park, bottles on the road, and the jewelry on people's bodies.

And, beneath the massive buildings that stand like Forest—

Coffee Shop that looks rather unassuming.

The red-haired girl, who had arrived as a guest, looked at her classmate—or rather, her first-year junior—with considerable curiosity and exclaimed.

"Yes, yes, that's right, Ritsuka, Grandpa... Kouhaku promised Xiao Xiang that he'll reunite Father and Xiao Xiang soon!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru's simple thoughts made Hibino Hibiki, who was already overjoyed, turn her head and look at him seriously.

"To be honest, for parents to have never even seen their child once is incredibly irresponsible. Calling them scum wouldn't be an exaggeration. Could it be that Kouhaku is just trying to fool you, Xiao Xiang? After all, Xiao Xiang, how should I put it? There's a high chance he just found someone to Xiao Xiang you—"

A blonde girl sitting on a chair on one side was talking eloquently, but her purple eyes gave off the feeling of a man in his fifties. Her blonde ponytail tied to one side slightly touched her Coffee.

His name is Suhou Nao, a transfer student in Hibino Hibiki's class. He doesn't study much, and failing courses and having to take extra classes is commonplace for him.

His true identity is an apprentice agent of the Holy Church, an orphan picked up by Narubalek, the chief of the current Burial Agency. Because he often kills his targets and ruins the mission, he has never been able to become a full agent. Most of the weapons he carries have been modified by Shiel.

Hibino Hibiki came to Tokyo to observe and find a way to retrieve Hibino Hibiki, who is the incarnation of the Codex Trithemius. However, after making contact with her, she no longer wanted to retrieve her, so she decided to continue her High School life.

Ritsuka Fujimaru deeply sympathized with Sugata Naoka's words. After Suhou Nao, Hibino Hibiki was so old and had never even met her parents once. Wasn't that incredibly irresponsible? She wondered how Xiao Xiang had developed such a lively and cheerful personality under her grandfather's care.

However, Suhou Nao's intention in saying that wasn't what Ritsuka understood, because in Suhou Nao's view, Hibino Hibiki was Codex Trithemius, how could she possibly have parents?

It's highly likely that Kouhaku, as the manufacturer, used it to fool her.

Because the Church of Rome's main branch collapsed somewhat hastily in the fifth century, later Church members were largely unaware of the fact that the "Savior" had acted with impunity with the Holy Scripture, except for a few old men and a few high-ranking members of the Church who knew about it through surviving information.

It can only be said that Augustine, who used "The City of God" as a metaphor for the destruction of the Church of Rome, did not participate in the war or know about these things. Otherwise, he would have at least used it as a strong metaphor and criticism in the book against this human "Savior" who provoked the founder and Holy Spirit to personally take action to destroy her.

"I won't allow you, Xiaozhi, to slander Xiao Xiang's father like this..."

"... Huh?"

Suhou Nao, who was originally standing to the side, saw the Orange-Haired Girl, who was usually as lively as a 'little Sun,' with her head down for the first time, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry. This immediately made Sugata Nao feel at a loss.

Moreover, because it seemed to be her doing, even Coffee Shop classmate, the green-haired girl Katsuragi Chikane, the chef who loves fishing and shares the same name as the legendary Europe hero 'Cú Chulainn', and the manager George, who named the shop in German but is actually good at Italy cuisine, all looked at her with 'scumbag' eyes.

Well, they were all ordinary people, yet Suhou Nao felt immense pressure. The two people next to him were alright, but the main one was Manager George.

Despite being a quiet and unassuming ordinary person, when he gets angry, it's as if he can use Magecraft; three phantom images appear behind him, as if they are four in one. If anyone from Tsukihime, Kara no Kyoukai, or Fate saw this, they would definitely exclaim, "Isn't that Nero Chaos/ Araya Souren / Kirei Kotomine?"

The case is solved. The shopkeeper George, who is an acquaintance of the Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg and never seems to age, is Nakata x Haruji himself.

"Oh no, I, um..."

"Xiao Xiang's father isn't a scumbag. He's a very responsible and outstanding person, someone many people admire and respect. I—no, all of you—have a father to Protection. He's definitely not the bad person Xiao Zhi described. Even though I haven't come to see Xiao Xiang, I have my own unspeakable difficulties. Rather, if I were to force myself to see him, it would definitely cause trouble, wouldn't it..."

"No, I..."

The sudden crying of the usually lively and cheerful girl, who was like a 'little Sun, ' was incredibly disheartening. This Suhou Nao feeling increasingly helpless, and he even considered kowtowing and apologizing.

In short, seeing Hibino Hibiki this, Suhou Nao truly broke down. She steeled herself, gritted her teeth, and said:

"Sorry, that was just me talking nonsense--"

"I'm the one who should feel sorry. I actually had my grandfather convey those thoughts to me. That was really wrong of me."

"No, I..."

In fact, Hibino Hibiki was fully aware that she possessed superhuman physical abilities; she could not only crush a grip strength meter with enough strength, but also jump off a school building with a person in her arms without getting hurt.

Although she didn't know her background or who her parents were, she vaguely sensed something was wrong with her.
