"This..."
Sakumura Anno was still playing the game.
He had been playing for two straight all-nighters. Only because he was a Servant—a special existence that felt no fatigue as long as he had magical energy—could he keep going. An ordinary person might have already been on the verge of dropping dead.
He had reached an ending.
And it was a happy ending.
He had won the girl.
"What is it, Assassin? You seem to be in quite a good mood."
Kirei Kotomine had finished washing up, changed into a clean priest's outfit, and walked into the living room. The first thing he saw was Sakumura playing his game.
Sakumura's expression was a little strange, but overall, he did seem pretty happy.
"Happy... well, that's not wrong, but..."
He showed Kirei Kotomine the game screen.
On the screen, the protagonist, "Koji Takami," was embracing a beautiful blonde girl.
This was...
"Was there a heroine like this?" Kirei Kotomine looked at Sakumura in confusion. "If I remember correctly, the blonde-haired one in this game..."
Sakumura nodded silently.
"Yes."
"This is that so-called 'love rival' character. Rei Ijuin, the one I kept calling to harass."
"...Did you keep calling him because you realized he was a hidden female character?" Kirei Kotomine asked in astonishment.
"...No. At first, I really was just bored. Later, I thought this character was kind of interesting, so... I just never expected that, in the end..."
Sakumura looked at the ending screen with a complicated expression, unsure how to comment on it.
Rei Ijuin was the granddaughter of the chairman of Kirameki High School, where the male protagonist [Koji Takami] attended. He was also the sole heir of the Ijuin Group. Due to family tradition, he had to live in the world as a man until coming of age.
