"Then let's give it a try. What do I do?"

Lin Luo took out a Knight Piece. "Put this inside your body."

Artoria, who was eating a boxed lunch nearby, instantly widened her eyes.

Was... was this really proper?

How was she supposed to put that piece inside?

Just thinking about it made her clench down below.

The corner of Medusa's mouth twitched. "Are you serious?"

"Of course. That's how the process works."

Gulp!

Medusa swallowed, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

After a moment, she finally made up her mind. She placed both hands on her lower garments and was just about to tug.

"Take off your outer clothes first."

"..."

Medusa froze, staring at Lin Luo blankly.

Lin Luo: "..."

Careless of me. I spoke too soon!

But this woman certainly didn't hesitate to act.

Medusa gave Lin Luo a reproachful look, but breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking off her outer clothes was embarrassing too, but it was much better than what she had imagined.

Then!

Medusa removed her outer clothes, leaving only her undergarments.

Her movements were a little too vigorous, making her rounded breasts bounce a few times.

Keeping a perfectly straight face, Lin Luo pressed the Evil Piece against her.

"Mmh..."

Medusa shuddered, a faint blush rising to her face.

Even with the piece between them.

This was still the first time she had been touched like this by a man.

"Looks like everything is going smoothly."

Watching the magic circle appear beneath Medusa, Lin Luo smiled in satisfaction.

Instinctively, he looked toward Artoria beside him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Artoria's cowlick swayed as she warned him, "Don't get any funny ideas."

"You're accusing me unfairly. I was just going to offer you a choice."

Lin Luo said solemnly, "As you can see, Medusa has reincarnated as a Devil and is no longer involved in this Holy Grail War."

"And if you're willing, I can do everything in my power to help you win, so you can ultimately make your wish on the Holy Grail."

"You'd really be that nice?"

Artoria asked suspiciously, "That's an omnipotent wish-granting device, you know."

"Of course!"

Lin Luo said casually, "I'm a Devil. I take contracts very seriously."

The Holy Grail?

It was already corrupted. Getting it would be useless.

Winning Artoria over was a much better deal.

As for her discovering the truth later, he hadn't lied anyway.

Take contracts seriously?

Artoria's eyelid twitched as she stared at Lin Luo.

A Devil saying something like that.

Was he really trustworthy?

"If you don't believe me, you can wait until I've fulfilled my promise before holding up your end of the bargain."

Lin Luo said easily, "I have complete faith in you, you know."

Artoria blushed at his words.

As King, how could she be so ungenerous?

Was she really falling short of even a Devil?

She said firmly, "All right. You have my word."

If her wish could truly come true, what did it matter if she made a deal with a Devil?

"Then you understand the price, don't you?"

"I assume it's becoming your servant?"

Artoria's expression was calm. "As long as you fulfill your promise, Master, this body is yours to take."

"Excellent!"

Lin Luo smiled at her words.

Meanwhile, Medusa was already drenched in sweat.

At first, she could still make out their conversation.

Now, all she could hear was the pounding of her heart.

She felt herself beginning to gain a true physical body as the Evil Piece entered her.

"This feeling is..."

Suddenly, she bit her lip as the skin on her back began to writhe.

"Ngh!"

With a muffled cry, a pair of Devil Wings burst from her back.

A tiny Tail, out of proportion with her figure, slowly emerged as well.

"Hehe, so cute!"

Medusa's eyes sparkled as she looked at her Tail.

Lin Luo: "..."

He really couldn't understand this woman's taste.

Her figure was unfairly gorgeous.

Yet she insisted that being petite and cute was true beauty.

Despite his inward grumbling, Medusa was wonderful like this.

Noticing Lin Luo's gaze, Medusa blushed and hastily withdrew her Tail.

"You don't have to hide it."

Lin Luo smiled. "By the way, have your abilities or Noble Phantasm been affected?"

"No!"

Medusa stood up and checked her condition, then gave him a radiant smile. "Actually, I've never felt better."

Having a physical body!

It felt completely different from before.

Chapter 52: Target: Irisviel

The next morning!

Lin Luo and the others had already finished breakfast, while Artoria was still wolfing down her food.

"What's your tummy made of?"

Looking at her own little rounded belly, then at Artoria, Sakura Matou was puzzled.

"Did I eat too much?"

Artoria sat up straight, her face reddening. "It's just so delicious. I'm really sorry."

"It's fine. There's plenty left."

Lin Luo smiled and pushed his remaining portion toward Artoria as well.

"Thank you, Master."

Just then, Medusa walked in with an invitation in her hand. "Master, the Einzbern Family has invited us over. Shall we go?"

"Oh?"

Lin Luo's eyes flashed. "Why wouldn't we?"

He rose and headed for the door.

"W-wait for me, Master!"

Artoria's cheeks bulged as she struggled to finish her food, then hurried after him.

The Einzbern Family's residence was quite far from the Mato Mansion.

But they chose not to use any supernatural means to travel.

Instead, Artoria drove.

As a Servant, she could readily handle any vehicle that did not involve supernatural elements.

At last!

A magnificent old castle steeped in history came into view.

"I never thought I'd come back here."

Artoria looked at the castle with a complicated expression.

Medusa asked curiously, "You've been here before?"

"Yes... Kiritsugu Emiya was previously employed by the Einzbern Family."

"Huh?"

Sakura Matou's little eyes widened. "Are they... enemies?"

Though she was still young, Lin Luo had taught her a little about the Holy Grail War.

"I'm not sure!"

Artoria shook her head. "So please be careful, Master."

"Don't worry."

Lin Luo smiled faintly. "If they try anything underhanded, I'll just wipe them out."

Artoria fell silent!

She could tell that Lin Luo wasn't joking.

Her Master truly lived up to the name of Devil.

And yet, someone like him had saved little Sakura.
