How Did I End Up Maxing Out Lan and Mordred's Affection?
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that no matter which world Emiya Shirou is from, as long as he is Kiritsugu, he will eventually evolve into a super housekeeper.
It's easy to imagine just how utterly useless Kiritsugu is when it comes to housework.
Yes, no wonder so many people used to joke that Kiritsugu adopted a nanny rather than a son.
After a while, Kiritsugu and Mo Wang sat opposite each other at the table, their fingers unconsciously tapping on the surface.
His mood became even more irritated when he saw Mo Wang still acting completely indifferent, talking to his wife and the Saber.
(Seriously, there's a way to ignore all traps and directly reach someone's home? How can we defend against that?)
Kiritsugu was in a real bind at this point.
According to his wife's description, Mo Wang simply opened a door at random, ignoring the distance and the defenses he had set up, and walked straight into his castle.
There was absolutely no obstruction.
They didn't even have any of the necessary Magecraft prepared.
Okay, now it's not just about figuring out how to attack the other side.
He probably can't even defend against a sneak attack anymore.
"So, Mo Wang. Although you said you wanted to form an alliance with us, why?"
At this moment, Kiritsugu a deep breath and slowly asked Mo Wang.
"Hmm? Do you need to explain why?"
Mo Wang stopped teasing the ahoge (Saber) and looked at Kiritsugu with interest.
"As allies, shouldn't we at least know each other's reasons?"
At this moment, Kiritsugu looked at Mo Wang without any fear.
"Well, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Mo Wang then asked Kiritsugu in a rather cheeky tone.
"Why is it this again?"
Hearing Mo Wang use this phrase again, Ran's eyebrows twitched.
What is the truth? What is a lie?
Kiritsugu, of course, didn't understand what this was all about, but he still followed up with the Mo Wang.
"The truth is, you're the weakest right now. Isn't it normal for the strongest and the weakest to team up?"
"It's much easier than fighting a stronger opponent later, isn't it?"
Mo Wang to chuckle.
"So what is a lie?"
Kiritsugu frowned and asked again.
"Well, the situation is much more complicated."
"Firstly, I felt sorry for your family and wanted to lend a hand."
"Secondly, I don't want Saber the stage so soon. My two Servant still have a lot to talk about with her, so I'm lending you a hand."
Kiritsugu was staring at Mo Wang like that; anyone with eyes could see it, right? The so-called lie was actually the real truth!
"Then, what's the price?"
Kiritsugu looked at Mo Wang at this moment. If it was an alliance of equals, Kiritsugu naturally wouldn't have anything to worry about.
But in the current situation, it's clear that Mo Wang took the initiative to help them.
Kiritsugu didn't believe them when they said it didn't seem like they were getting anything from them.
"Well, of course—I want her."
Mo Wang gestured with his fingers, lingering on his Irisviel for a moment.
"Huh?! Huh?!"
The Irisviel looked at Mo Wang's finger in a panic, but then Mo Wang Saber.
"That's right! It's you! Saber!"
Mo Wang pointed at Artoria and said.
"Wh-what?!"
Artoria looked at Mo Wang in shock, her pretty face first blushing, then turning into embarrassment and anger.
"You bastard! Stop dreaming!"
"I'm not some kind of accessory!"
Saber was about to swing his Excalibur at Mo Wang.
"That's right, Saber is an important companion to us, so you should change your request."
After glancing at the enraged Saber, Kiritsugu also rejected Mo Wang.
"Oh dear, look at me. I didn't explain things clearly."
"I want her, but only after the Holy Grail War is over."
"After this is over, I just wanted her to help me out. After all, the things I need to deal with next are closely related to her."
"What?!"
Upon hearing Mo Wang Saber's expression immediately changed.
"After the Holy Grail War ends?"
Kiritsugu raised an eyebrow slightly at this moment.
Does "Mo Wang" mean that he has a way to stay? And can he also get other Servant to stay?
"In that case, let's sign the contract."
"Is it alright if you don't let your Master come over?"
Kiritsugu remained silent for only a short while before ignoring the murderous glare from Saber beside him and speaking directly to Mo Wang.
"No need, this thing is just meant to bind the two of us anyway. We can just sign any one of them, right?"
With that, Mo Wang took out a contract and placed it in front of Kiritsugu.
"Sign this one; it's much better than your so-called Magecraft's contract."
Kiritsugu stared at the contract that Mo Wang had given him. The terms on it were nothing more than that they should not harm each other during the cooperation period and should pass on intelligence to each other.
Incidentally, it states that after the Holy Grail War ends, Saber's ownership will belong to Mo Wang.
Kiritsugu looked at it from left to right, but couldn't see anything special about the contract.
The only exception is the section for witnesses, which is inscribed with the name of the [The Preservation] Aeon.
"What is the [The Preservation] Aeon Kliper? Is there such a god?" Kiritsugu asked with slight surprise.
"Hehe, don't worry about it. This is just a deity existing in the universe. I think you probably won't even get to see him."
"Is that so? Now that we're sworn allies, do you have any good suggestions?" Kiritsugu didn't care about what Aeon was at this moment.
Now he's more interested in knowing what methods Mo Wang intends to use.
"Well, we just need to wait here for the enemy to come to us."
Saber was Mo Wang Wang's lazy demeanor. She clenched and unclenched her fists repeatedly before finally managing to calm down.
"Is this enough? It's rare for the two of us to join forces; this power far surpasses that of other forces. Shouldn't we secretly force the others to withdraw first?"
"Master! Forgive my bluntness, but battles should be fought fairly and squarely. How can one resort to underhanded tactics?"
Upon hearing that Kiritsugu intended to use assassination to wage the Holy Grail War, Saber immediately erupted in fury.
"Well, I think we should deal with Caster as soon as possible, if possible."
"I've heard that there have been many missing persons cases in Fuyuki City recently."
"It's not just children, it's adults too, now it's not letting any of them go. If this is left unchecked, something terrible might happen."
Mo Wang then spoke to Kiritsugu.
Upon hearing Mo Wang's statement, all the Servant present frowned.
It is clear that senseless killing is something they abhor most.
"I understand. For now, let's focus on Caster! However, since we can't be sure when Caster will arrive, I can't just wait around. I'll take action. You don't mind, do you?"
"No, and I do go out for activities sometimes."
Mo Wang smiled mysteriously; it seemed he wasn't one to be content with solitude.
However, Emiya Kiritsugu had no intention of meddling, and he added, "If Saber takes any action, I will let you know. But in return, you must also inform us when you take any action, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we're caught off guard."
"Don't worry, if I do anything that would provoke enemies for you, I'll let you know beforehand."
After finishing speaking, Mo Wang stretched and said to Ran and Xiao Mo beside him, "In that case, we'll be going now. If anything comes up, just call us."
"Oh, right! Artoria, remember not to rush off after the Holy Grail War, or I'll suffer a huge loss."
Mo Wang waved his hand, then took out the Anywhere Door and left with Xiao Mo and Ran.
After Mo Wang left, Saber fell silent at the table.
Irisviel, too, looked at her husband with a hesitant expression.
"I feel that Mo Wang still has many things he hasn't said."
"It seems he already knows about us, and about Illya."
Iris looked at Kiritsugu with some concern and asked, "What if he does something outrageous next?"
Kiritsugu, seeing his worried Irisviel, shook his head slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, he shouldn't."
"If the current intelligence is correct, then it means that Mo Wang must be a being from the future."
"Future?!"
Irisviel's expression changed slightly upon hearing Kiritsugu's guess.
Similarly, even Saber looked at Kiritsugu with great surprise.
Meanwhile, Mo Wang, who was enjoying the spoilers immensely, happened to see his two Servant looking as distressed as bitter gourds.
Chapter 442: How did you manage to max out Ran and Xiao Mo's affection levels?
"I'm going to die!"
"Sister, I'm dying."
At this moment, Mo Wang, who had just returned to the hotel, saw the two little lolis lying on the sofa like salted fish, looking almost completely dehydrated.
"Seriously? You guys didn't even finish half of it? That's incredibly bad!"
Mo Wang, who had just returned, looked at the two little girls who were practically dead and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "So much for a prestigious Magecraft family, how come they're acting like they're about to die after only a little homework?"
How dare you say that!
When Rin saw that it was Mo Wang who had returned, she completely exploded.
"Who would be so kind as to assign advanced math problems to homework?! What a scoundrel! How could they make a beautiful girl do something like that?!"
Rin, her eyes red and swollen, held Sakura, whose eyes were already glazed over. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Mo Wang had done something bad to the two girls.
"A bet's a bet. Since you didn't finish your homework today, you two little girls can continue tonight."
Mo Wang shrugged, but the two little lolis' faces immediately fell when they heard this.
"Uncle Kariya! Help!"
Hearing that the night would continue, the two little lolis were completely exhausted and pounced on Matou Kariya.
"I think it's alright. Learning more now will be very beneficial for you. I remember Rin and Sakura, your grades were pretty average in the class, right?"
However, the two little lolis seemed to have forgotten that Matou Kariya in front of them was a perfectly ordinary person.
