The other children were all far too rebellious. Not only did they refuse to acknowledge her as their mother, they had even driven her into Imaginary Space.

Only Su Luo, upon seeing her, showed neither rejection nor disgust. He had even called her Tiamat!

How could that not make her happy?

Su Luo's mouth twitched slightly when he heard Tiamat call him that.

Although Tiamat had not spoken in human language, he understood what she meant.

Strictly speaking, he was a transmigrator, not someone from the Type-Moon world. He really could not be considered Tiamat's child.

But seeing how happy Tiamat looked, Su Luo could not be bothered to fuss over something as minor as a form of address.

As long as Tiamat was happy, that was enough.

Chaldea Followed Close Behind

"Then, Tia..." Su Luo had wanted to call Tiamat by her full name, but when he suddenly saw her cheeks puff out slightly as she looked at him with an adorably angry expression, he immediately changed his wording.

"Then, Tiamat, can you tell me why you appeared here?"

Su Luo asked that question again.

This time, Tiamat answered seriously. "A few days ago, I was staying in Imaginary Space when I suddenly sensed a feeling of great familiarity..."

As Tiamat spoke, Su Luo roughly understood what had happened.

The cause was the Trait Tiamat's Favor, which he had obtained earlier and which had directly caught Tiamat's attention.

Even while she remained in Imaginary Space, she could still observe what was happening within the world.

At a glance, she had discovered the existence known as Su Luo.

She had been silently watching him all along.

But yesterday, because of a Chat Group mission, he had traveled to the world of Teyvat.

When Tiamat could no longer sense Su Luo's presence, she thought he was in danger and immediately became extremely anxious.

In order to successfully enter the world and search for Su Luo's whereabouts,

she had suppressed most of her power and created an avatar similar to a Servant before successfully descending upon Fuyuki City.

The moment she arrived, she sensed Su Luo's presence returning once more.

While breathing a sigh of relief, she had also come to the castle to stay by Su Luo's side.

Hearing this, Su Luo fell silent.

No wonder he had felt someone enter his room while he was sleeping last night.

However, since he had sensed no hostility, and because Tiamat, like the King of Lions, possessed a human-hearted form,

he had mistaken her for one of the human-hearted Servants among the King of Lions and the others who had come to see him.

For a moment, he had neglected to investigate, resulting in what had happened this morning.

Just then, accompanied by a click,

Su Luo's bedroom door was pushed open.

"Master, it is time to get up. Guests have arrived," the King of Lions said softly.

However, the instant she opened the door, she froze where she stood.

"Tiamat?! Why is the Beast of Revelation here?!" A rare look of gravity appeared on the King of Lions' face.

At the same time, the moment she saw Tiamat, she understood why those people had come to their door.

"Don't worry, Ria. Tiamat will not harm us." As Su Luo spoke, he reached out and stroked the massive horn atop Tiamat's head as proof.

"But who are these guests you mentioned?"

"They claim to be Chaldea's Master and Demi-Servant," the King of Lions explained calmly.

"I see. They came quite quickly." Su Luo smacked his lips.

Tiamat had only entered Fuyuki City a short while ago, yet they had come knocking right after her.

Their efficiency was pretty impressive.

"Let's go meet them."

With that, Su Luo led Tiamat and the King of Lions out of the room.

Meanwhile,

in the castle's living room,

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash sat bolt upright, not daring to make any sudden movements.

There was no other reason. There were simply too many Servants in this living room!

Britain's King Arthur Artoria, Morgan, and Mordred.

Medea, the traitorous witch of the Age of Gods.

The holy maiden Joan of Arc...

There were ten Servants in total, every one of them a famous historical figure with formidable strength.

They sat on the sofas, watching the two of them.

It was as though the slightest ill intention would see them erased in an instant.

How could they dare move?

Fujimaru Ritsuka was currently complaining endlessly in her heart.

Her aptitude was mediocre. Before joining Chaldea, she had never even come into contact with magecraft, nor was she skilled in close-quarters combat.

There were clearly forty-seven other Master candidates within Chaldea. They might not have possessed extraordinary talent, but they were at least far more capable than her!

Why had Chaldea's director insisted on sending her to carry out a mission of this level?!

Was this not simply sending her to her death?!

Just then, Semiramis carried over two cups of black tea and placed them before Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash. Smiling brightly, she said, "Please, have some tea."

"Thank you." Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash hurriedly accepted the teacups.

Yet neither of them dared drink.

Was this a joke? The woman before them was hailed as the most ancient poisoner and was also the legendary empress.

With that smiling expression, she had personally served them black tea. How could they dare drink it?!

Seeing this, the smile on Semiramis' face vanished completely, and she resumed her proud queenly bearing.

"What? Are you afraid I poisoned it?"

"Take a look around. If we wanted to do something to you, would we need poison?" Semiramis sneered.

This was Su Luo's home, and theirs as well. She had originally intended to restrain her temper somewhat since guests had arrived, lest others say they lacked manners.

Who would have thought that these two little sisters did not seem to appreciate her goodwill at all?

There was no helping it. She could only return to her usual attitude.

Hearing that, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought it made sense.

So she hurriedly raised the teacup and took a sip.

"Pfft!"

The instant Fujimaru Ritsuka took a sip, she sprayed it out.

The black tea had just been brewed. That mouthful of scalding tea nearly burned her tongue.

Fujimaru Ritsuka blew out breath in great gulps, trying to cool down her tongue that way.

"Here, eat some ice cream to soothe it." At some point, Melly had produced an ice cream cone and handed it to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Without thinking much about it, the latter mumbled a thank-you and began eating it.

However, after taking just one bite,

her movements stopped.

A crimson flush rapidly spread upward from her snow-white neck.

Soon, her fair, lovely face had also been dyed a deep red.

"Water!" Fujimaru Ritsuka howled, tossing the ice cream aside as she anxiously spun in circles.

"Senpai!" Seeing this, Mash hurriedly picked up the black tea Semiramis had just served and poured it into Fujimaru Ritsuka's mouth.

That only worsened Fujimaru Ritsuka's suffering.

The tea's scorching heat mixed with the spicy intensity of wasabi, nearly sending Fujimaru Ritsuka to an early grave on the spot.

Fortunately, unable to bear watching any longer, Joan of Arc found her a glass of ice water, finally easing Fujimaru Ritsuka's pain.

"I'm sorry, Senpai. I didn't mean to," Mash quickly bowed in apology.

"It's fine." Seeing Mash's guilty expression, Fujimaru Ritsuka could not bring herself to blame her.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka's lips were now swollen red, and she could barely speak properly.

Fou, perched on Mash's shoulder, was even more direct. He leaped high into the air and launched a flying kick straight at Melly's face.

"Pfft!"

Melly took Fou's heavy blow.

Her entire body flew backward.

At that moment, Su Luo arrived with Tiamat and the King of Lions.

The moment he entered the living room, Su Luo saw a silver figure flying toward him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his leg and delivered a beautiful spinning kick, sending that figure flying and embedding her in the wall.

Only after taking a closer look did he speak in a faintly apologetic tone, pretending to be surprised. "Sorry, Melly. I didn't see clearly just now. I thought it was a hidden weapon coming to ambush me."

The Meeting of the [Grand Caster Succubus] and the [Grand Caster Succubus]

"Master, you're inhuman."

"Couldn't you have caught me and given me a romantic princess carry?" Melly climbed down from the wall, clutching her reddened nose as she muttered.

The reason Fou had kicked her flying was entirely because she sensed Su Luo's arrival and had planned to play up her misery so Su Luo would dote on her.

Who would have thought that Su Luo not only failed to catch her, but even kicked her flying with a single blow?

His heartlessness nearly brought tears to her eyes.

She did not believe that Su Luo, who possessed Clairvoyance, could not see who was flying toward him.

"I'm so sorry! I really am! I don't know what happened to Fou. He suddenly became so violent." Mash hurriedly ran before Melly and Su Luo, raising her hands in apology.

She also scooped Fou up into her arms.

"It's fine. There's no need to take such a small matter to heart." Su Luo smiled. Then his expression turned serious, and Semiramis and the others also stopped watching the show.

"Alright, let's get to the point."

As he spoke, Su Luo walked over and sat on the sofa opposite Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.

Seeing this, Melly helplessly put away her joking demeanor as well.

Su Luo then took a bottle of healing potion from his storage space and tossed it to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Drink it. It's a healing potion with nothing added to it. My Servants caused you trouble. I'm truly sorry."

Seeing Su Luo's friendly attitude,

Fujimaru Ritsuka was half-convinced, but she still drank the potion.
