Dead... dead?

Mai Shiranui was completely confused.

Her head was full of question marks.

Something was wrong with this kid.

Why would he be dead?

Emiya answered matter-of-factly, "Obviously, I'd be killed by my own woman."

Mai Shiranui: "...Are the girlfriends you pick really that terrifying?"

She couldn't understand it.

Killing someone just because you couldn't have them?

If Andy cheated on her, she'd beat him up and never talk to him again.

She couldn't imagine killing him.

Emiya thought for a moment.

"It depends. Medea is the type who gives everything once she falls in love. But if she's betrayed, she'll turn around and scatter your ashes without hesitation."

Mai Shiranui immediately caught the key point.

Medea?

Wait-no way.

But... he can travel between worlds.

So maybe it really is her.

After hesitating, she still asked, "The Medea you're talking about... is she the Medea I'm thinking of?"

Emiya nodded.

"That's right. Princess of Colchis from Greek mythology. Daughter of King Aeëtes and the ocean nymph Idyia. Niece of the sorceress Circe of Aeaea. Granddaughter of the sun god Helios and the ocean nymph Perse."

Mai Shiranui had to admit it.

Those titles were absurdly exaggerated.

Ocean nymph's daughter.

Sun god's granddaughter.

This was truly...

"So your girlfriend is that Princess Medea?" Mai Shiranui stared at him in disbelief. "And she still lets you chase other women?"

"I guess so," Emiya said. "She said it herself. As long as I don't give my heart to someone else, it's fine."

"Isn't this already giving your heart away?" Mai Shiranui felt her worldview cracking.

"Of course not. I'm just a little flirtatious," Emiya said calmly. "I like other women, but I also like Medea. If I ever abandoned her for someone else, like you said, I'd definitely be dead."

He was very clear about that.

A woman betrayed once would never tolerate being betrayed again.

Mai Shiranui's expression went blank.

In the end, she could only force out a polite, awkward smile.

"...Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Emiya waved his hand, clearly done with the topic.

"Let me ask you something instead."

"Go ahead."

"Has this year's KOF tournament started yet?"

"Not yet," Mai Shiranui shook her head. "At least, I haven't received an invitation."

Then she paused.

"But who's hosting it this year? Goenitz?"

"No," Emiya replied. "If I remember correctly, it should be initiated by Chizuru Kagura. Not a small event anymore. A global-scale tournament."

"Chizuru Kagura?" Mai Shiranui immediately pictured her. "You mean the Chizuru Kagura from the Kagura Conglomerate?"

"That's right."

Among the Three Sacred Treasures, the Kagura family was the most successful.

A full-fledged conglomerate.

Immense worldly power.

And terrifying strength to match.

Compared to them, the Yagami family was the most miserable.

"Another question," Emiya added. "What kind of power do fighters here use? 'Ki,' or something like 'Absolute Territory'?"

Mai Shiranui blinked.

"Of course it's Ki. What is 'Absolute Territory' supposed to be?"

"That's good. Very good."

Emiya nodded with satisfaction.

In the canonical KOF world, fighters used Ki.

Only Hong Kong comics had things like Absolute Territory, Ultimate Power, or Great Universe Power.

Looks like this really was a proper KOF world.

Mai Shiranui tilted her head. "You're this interested in KOF... don't tell me you want to participate?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Emiya replied. "Since I made it to this world, I'd be wasting the trip if I didn't."

Mai Shiranui reminded him, "KOF requires a team of three. Do you have teammates?"

"Of course. I know plenty of strong people. CĂş Chulainn is one of them."

"...You mean that CĂş Chulainn?"

"That's right. The Hound of Ulster. That big dog."

"It really is..." Mai Shiranui didn't know what to say anymore.

"He's a demigod, right?"

"Correct."

"A demigod joining a human tournament," Mai Shiranui muttered. "Isn't that cheating?"

She was seriously considering skipping this year's KOF.

Emiya understood her concern.

"I admit he's strong. But don't underestimate yourselves. Fighters in this world aren't weak."

"Don't say that," Mai Shiranui shot back. "You stood there earlier and tanked all my attacks without flinching."

She hadn't intended to kill him.

But she had aimed to put him in the hospital.

Her strikes were ruthless.

And yet-

Nothing happened to him.

"...You're not a demigod too, are you?"

"I'm not," Emiya said, shaking his head.

"I'm strong because I learned a lot of things. Magical energy reinforcement from one world. Armament Haki from the One Piece world. Nen from the Hunter x Hunter world."

"Plus Invisible Armor and Psychic Shield from another world."

"With all that stacked together, it's normal you couldn't hurt me."

He added casually, "I'm not bragging, but my defense is ridiculously tough. I can't guarantee surviving a nuke, but missiles are nothing."

Mai Shiranui felt a sourness rise in her chest.

Like biting into a lemon.

Emiya noticed.

"If you want, I can teach you," he said. "Consider it an apology for accidentally seeing-"

Her face instantly turned red.

She slammed the table.

"Forget that right now!"

Emiya nodded obediently.

"Alright. I'll forget it."

Mai Shiranui knew he was lying.

But she didn't pursue it.

Dragging it out would just make things awkward.

Still...

She had to admit.

She was moved.

"You're really willing to teach me those abilities?"

"It's nothing," Emiya said, patting his chest.

"Just tell me what you want to learn."
