He was still right here, alive and breathing.
This was far too bold.
"Alice, could you be a little more careful?"
Artoria came over and quietly said, "Sakura and Rin haven't left yet."
"Ah!"
Irisviel stiffened and hurriedly withdrew her tail.
Oh no, I forgot about that.
"What is it, Irisviel?"
Following behind Artoria, Sakura blinked her big eyes. "Does it have something to do with us?"
"Never mind, Sakura."
Rin Tohsaka grabbed her, her cheeks flushed. "Don't ask."
She had no idea what had happened.
But her instincts told her not to try to find out.
After confirming that neither girl had seen anything, Irisviel said with a perfectly composed expression, "It's nothing. Don't worry about it."
Phew!
Lin Luo exhaled with a trace of regret.
Still, never mind.
She was his, after all.
He would have plenty of opportunities to try it, whenever and however he wanted.
That night!
Artoria had long since left with the two little girls.
After their class promotions came the bestowal of Blessings, and Lin Luo got busy again.
"Utaha Kasumigaoka, don't you already have a Blessing?"
"I'll use it right now, and then I won't have one anymore, will I?"
"Master, test my ability. I'm really good at using the Essence of the Fire God..."
"Master, I can use my ability too, meow, meow."
"Master, my ability is the exact opposite of Miss Utaha's."
"Y-you're cheating! I can't use Murasame on Master!"
"Lord Lin Luo."
The voices of Esdeath and the other girls drifted out of the Palace from time to time.
The Palace, which belonged exclusively to Lin Luo, had been bustling all day.
The original Throne inside the Palace had long since been replaced with a custom-made, extra-large model.
It could seat more than a dozen people without any trouble.
