Wasn't Diarmuid's whole life like that? It perfectly matched her fantasies, but Kaineth's attitude now left her at a loss.
What did she really want?
"That damn Lemon Head! Damn it..." Waver started swearing the moment he returned to his temporary residence.
He had kindly reminded the man that his wife was cheating on him, yet the man had attacked him. What kind of person was that?
Waver felt like he had encountered an ungrateful bastard! At the same time, he silently cursed Lemon Head to grow horns.
The King of Conquerors watched his clearly flustered Master and found the whole thing rather amusing.
This little Master really knew how to surprise him!
Whatever. He's only a Lancer. So what if they formed an alliance?
"Waver, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
As an elderly voice sounded, Waver suddenly became somewhat flustered.
"Nothing, Grandpa. I just had a nightmare."
Waver answered his fake grandfather with some guilt. He had used Suggestion Sorcery to acquire a pair of grandparents in order to solve his lodging problem.
But they treated him genuinely well, so Waver always felt guilty around them.
Meanwhile, the feminized Gilgamesh stood above the hospital. She raised and lowered the Gouging Sword in her hand several times before finally snorting coldly and flashing away home.
After all, if she truly released her Noble Phantasm, that useless retainer would definitely use a chant to summon her back again. There was no need to make things more troublesome.
She refused to believe Saber could stay hidden all night.
Far away in his basement, Tokiomi Tohsaka nervously watched the images transmitted by his familiar, his trembling fingers brushing over the Command Spells on his hand.
He had already used one mark, and he would certainly need to use another to achieve his goal in the end.
In other words, if he used this one, he would have no means of threatening Archer for the next four days!
Kallen was held expressionlessly in her grandfather's arms, her face prickling from his beard even though he seemed clean-shaven from afar.
Kirei Kotomine watched his father carry Kallen away with some helplessness. But the good news was that his father seemed to have forgotten about him standing him up for an entire day.
After the grandfather and granddaughter entered the church, a black shadow appeared behind Kirei Kotomine, seemingly reporting something.
After a while, the shadow merged into the darkness on the wall and vanished.
Kirei Kotomine fell into thought.
"Lancer and Rider? That much makes sense."
"But Saber appeared at the hospital because her entire family got food poisoning!"
"Still, Kariya Matou appearing there is worth thinking about."
"An alliance? Then what happened at the Matou Residence before becomes understandable."
"In that case, Saber also has a powerful fire-type Noble Phantasm or skill. Saber's Noble Phantasm is most likely a massive fire-type greatsword."
Kirei Kotomine rubbed his temples with a headache. Saber really was mysterious!
He then composed his expression and pushed open the door with a smile. As for whether he should tell his teacher—why should he tell him?
What did the Tohsaka Family's affairs have to do with him?
In the end, Fu Yuan's group spent the night at the hospital. Fu Yuan oddly did not sleep, instead staring at the ceiling.
Gilgamesh, meanwhile, left the group chat while grumbling curses.
Divine Messenger!
"Sure enough, a change in gender affects one's personality."
Fu Yuan felt stupid for having stayed on guard all night.
So personalities really did become gentler after being feminized. No, this was more like becoming stupid!
Who stood on a rooftop all night, taking out their sword one moment and putting it away the next?
Could it be that he still held Uruk's way of thinking? If you're a man, go out and duel! Was the underworld's atmosphere really that simple and honest?
Fu Yuan suddenly knocked his own head in dissatisfaction. It was becoming less and less useful! It was all Ryougi Shiki's fault.
"Mm~ Let's go play at the amusement park!" Illya cleverly grabbed Fu Yuan's arm and blinked her large eyes as she asked.
"..."
"..."
Fu Yuan opened his mouth, but elegant Chinese words remained stuck in his throat. He did not understand!
Why were you asking me? Did I look like someone who went to amusement parks?
I'm over five hundred years old! I'm not a child! I've lived longer than your family's entire history!
"...I think that could work."
After a long silence, Fu Yuan suddenly felt that the suggestion was not bad. Although Master should have been the one making the decision here, Kiritsugu Emiya was easy to persuade as a barely qualified daughter doting father.
In the end, Fu Yuan successfully fooled the helpless-looking Kiritsugu by citing the need to preserve a child's innocence and provide rehabilitation therapy for children.
Kiritsugu probably knew those were all excuses, but surprisingly, he did not object. Maybe he felt guilty?... Who knew!
Irisviel was quite interested. Though she was the mother of a six-year-old child! Still! She was only seven years old, so... her childish heart remained intact.
Kariya Matou said that as long as Sakura was happy, that was all that mattered!
As for Lancelot? Hmm... was there even such a person?
It felt like they had overlooked something. Forget it, it didn't matter. The amusement park was more important!
He had not been to one in more than five hundred years. There had been no opportunity at all in the Honkai World! He had not expected to experience being a child here after all this time.
Fu Yuan thought it was utter bullshit! He had completely overlooked the effect of his physical abilities! The roller coasters he used to find incredibly thrilling now... were not even as fast as he could run.
As for the haunted house, he walked through the entire thing without changing his expression.
And the Ferris wheel? Forget it. There were too many of them, but the main reason was that his proposal to share a cabin with Illya and Sakura had been rejected!
That was too much! Was he going to do something to them or what?
I was a Heroic Spirit! By your standards, I was someone whose legend had been recorded in history. Would I really have such lowbrow tastes?
Although countless words filled his heart, Fu Yuan ultimately decided not to lower himself to their level. Of course, it was not because he could not argue with them.
"A Yuan, aren't you having fun?" Irisviel noticed that Fu Yuan had not burst into laughter during any of the rides and asked with concern.
She was also somewhat confused. Given Fu Yuan's personality, shouldn't he have been having the most fun right now?
"I'm not happy! Not happy at all!"
Fu Yuan stared at Irisviel with hollow eyes and mechanically voiced his thoughts. He could not feel any enjoyment whatsoever after being dragged through more than a dozen attractions.
"Why is my body so strong? Why are all the rides here so slow?"
Bloodshot veins slowly appeared in Fu Yuan's eyes. An entire morning! He had spent it doing these boring things!
His fantasy had shattered!
The amusement park was no longer the sacred place in his heart!
Fu Yuan felt that this period had simply been terrible. First came the Honkai invasion, then he had been humiliated over his height, followed by discovering his Spirit Core was as stable as Mount Tai, and then he lost an entire night's sleep because of a certain feminized Gilgamesh.
Now even his fantasy had been shattered. Fu Yuan did not know why, but he suddenly felt like crying.
Irisviel felt as though she had been shown off to, even though she knew Fu Yuan probably did not mean it that way.
But seeing Kiritsugu secretly laughing beside her, Irisviel suddenly did not know what to do.
Besides... the relationship between Kiritsugu and A Yuan felt strange somehow. Was it just an illusion?
"Messenger of the Lord!"
Fu Yuan's expression suddenly stiffened when he heard that voice.
Being called that in such an adoring tone by an adorable little girl—
Shouldn't that have been something to be happy about?
But... why was it so embarrassing?!
Kirei Kotomine felt helpless. No matter how he explained it, Kallen seemed to have made up her mind.
More than running into the Saber Group at the amusement park, Kirei Kotomine found the fear he sensed from Assassin through the Command Spells far more puzzling.
This Saber had many secrets!
But the urgent matter now was stopping Kallen, who was preparing to worship Saber...
Feeling the strange looks from the people around them, Kirei Kotomine knew that if he had not had some reputation before, there would have been more than just whispers by now.
And for the first time in this world, Fu Yuan experienced social death!
Fu Yuan tugged at his little face, trying to make his expression look less stiff. Then he crouched down and looked at the deeply devout Kallen.
He spoke seriously, through gritted teeth, one word at a time.
"I am not the Lord, nor am I the Lord's messenger! And! I! Don't! Believe! In! Religion!"
After saying that, his expression suddenly relaxed. He gently rubbed Kallen's little head with a warm smile.
"Do you understand?"
Kallen inexplicably felt a chill run through her body, but seeing the gentle smile before her, she still answered earnestly.
"Mm! Kallen understands. I won't call you that outside anymore, Divine Messenger."
Fu Yuan froze after hearing that not-at-all-quiet reply, especially when he sensed the strange looks directed at him from nearby.
Then he stroked her little head even more gently, as though he were searching for something...
"Cough, cough! Sorry, she's caused you trouble." Kirei Kotomine sensed that the atmosphere had suddenly become strange and hurriedly pulled Kallen, who still looked deeply devout, behind him. He spoke with very little confidence.
He truly lacked confidence, especially after sensing that Assassin actually wanted to commit suicide! Kirei Kotomine was completely numb. You were Heroic Spirits! Why were you so cowardly?!
"...Hey, could you please discipline your child properly, Father?" Fu Yuan said one word at a time, his expression clearly unpleasant.
Fu Yuan could feel how irrational he was right now—or rather, how much like an extremely bratty child he was!
He began blaming his Spirit Core inwardly!
That was right, this was all the Spirit Core's fault! Yes, it definitely was not his problem!
I was an opponent even Lutuo had no choice but to acknowledge! In terms of strength, anyway. How could I be this childish?!
Fu Yuan suddenly examined his own stats very seriously.
Luck: A
No way. Like Angel of Death being ranked C, this had to be fake, right? How could this be A?
But if he looked at it from another angle, perhaps it was not so bad?
Because of Luck A, several powerful figures quickly noticed the anomaly here.
Because of Luck A, even after someone caught his weakness, he happened to avoid embarrassment because he carried King Hassan's aura.
Because of Luck A, a certain King rare calmly assessed the situation and realized that her attack would be stopped, thus avoiding a great battle.
Because of Luck A, his long-held wish of visiting an amusement park had been fulfilled.
Because of Luck A, he had gained a little girl for free.
But Fu Yuan did not want this kind of Luck A!
Kiritsugu watched the two people who seemed to know each other, and his expression gradually relaxed, though he still had magecraft prepared in his hand.
Honed Coordination
Fu Yuan walked out of the amusement park with a numb expression. A group of adults watched him leave from behind—or rather, they watched him and... Kallen, who was being forcibly dragged away by her father some distance away.
