KABOOOOM!!!
"Phew~ Finally did it!"
Ritsuka runs the Chaldea Gate's beginner level, farming embers and materials. With the decently strong Jeanne Alter and Mysterious Heroine X's help, she seems to have gotten somewhat used to farming. Unlike the game, Jeanne Alter and X can do area-of-effect attacks, you see.
"Master, you look pale..."
"Haha... I think I'm starting to understand why people called her a bewitching woman and praised her..."
I got thoroughly squeezed by Kiara. If Kiara is among the group that attacks me later... Sigh. Actually, Melusine also has incredible libido, making it hard to handle her. And, honestly, I'm not turned on by Melusine, so it's about forcing something that won't stand up... If I had to say, maybe Melusine is harder?
Even Bunyan, whose conscience pricks her, is only at high school level in Super Bunyan mode... Of course, it's true I become trash.
"I was the first, but now I've been pushed aside. Is it the rolling stone pushing out the fixed stone..."
"Looking at the summoning order, aren't you from the later period?"
"That's true, but how many Servants have taken more of him than me..."
"Ahem, that is true."
Watching Ritsuka's farming run with Kebab, it seems today's farming is done. With the materials collected now... I can do one Ascension.
A short while later, I enter the Ascension room, use the embers collected so far to strengthen Alter, then immediately use the materials to Ascend her.
"This... my spiritual foundation has been strengthened. It's closer to the Fuyuki time. One more time, and I might be able to bring out the power from the Fuyuki time."
"Whew~ The hard work was worth it!"
"That's right, senpai. Perhaps, could I also get stronger this way?"
"Well? We don't have materials right now, so let's try when we gather some next time!"
"Yes!"
It feels good to be full of energy. Then, should I start preparing too? First, before that, let me stop by the infirmary.
I knock and enter the infirmary where the Doctor should be... but the Doctor isn't there? Instead of the Doctor, Nemo Nurse was in the infirmary.
"Oh my, Master? If you're looking for the Doctor, he's out on a date."
"This guy...?"
I've only seen him playing around lately, and now he's just...
"Hehe, but he's been looking healthier lately."
"I think it'll probably get bad again soon."
"Is that so? Hehe, but what brings you to the infirmary?"
"I came to see the Doctor, but since he's gone, nothing I can do."
"Is it about medical matters?"
"Medical, not exactly, a simple consultation?"
How did he hold a medical defense against a thousand people... Being the Mage King, he might have managed somehow with magecraft. Or maybe he did tentacle play...
"Hmm, perhaps that kind of thing?"
"Hmm..."
"Hehe, in that case... how about me?"
Whoa...
Whoosh~ Hug!
"Don't seduce Master in front of me!"
"Hehe, you two are close~ Of course... I'm also, in my own way, looking forward to it? If you were a virgin, I might have done it for treatment purposes?"
"A benefit..."
So virginity is an illness that needs treatment... Well, there was a manga where a virus that kills you for being a virgin appeared. That might also be a place like another world.
"Don't tease too much. Anyway, since the Doctor isn't here, I'll be going."
"Yes, feel free to come anytime~"
"I won't come!"
Kebab is fun to tease. Even Nurse is like that, you see.
"Really... Master has charmed too many Servants."
"Probably thanks to this face. Hehe..."
"If you put it that way, among Servants, Master has an ordinary face, you know?"
"That's true..."
Even Servants you might think aren't that good-looking are on the handsome side. There are cases like Gilles, but in Caster Gilles's case, he has a plain middle-aged feel. Teach's issue is his otaku behavior, but if you see his serious face quietly, he's a charismatic middle-aged man. Orion also has a likable face with character. If you see a non-Berserker version of Heracles, he's a handsome man.
Looking at that... I'm in the ordinary category, yeah. Compared to Servants, I'd just become a squid. Among ordinary people, I'm good-looking, sure... but being here makes my confidence drop. I wonder if whoever hit me with a bicycle was jealous of me. Of course, just my face.
Even though it's a face with confidence, not narcissism... compared to Servants, my confidence disintegrates in mid-air.
"The reason we like you, Master, isn't because of your face. And... there's no way you'd feel real love just because of a face alone, hehe."
Real love, huh...
Certainly, there are many couples who date and marry based only on looks or external factors, then regret and fight. The era where couples who truly get along well are rarer than in the past.
There are many great people in the world... but among them, those who experience real love are probably few. These days, the trend is more people having one-night stands or just dating and ending it. In short, they pursue only light love and affection. For that momentary pleasure.
But... real love is called love because it can't be satisfied with just that moment.
I remember seeing it in a book before. I don't really know about love because I've never experienced it. But, the affection they give me feels real.
I think it's love born from the simple system of Bond Levels... but receiving this much love, I end up liking them too.
Actually, I sometimes think this might be a dream. This damn dream... Could that be the ending? The heir of a conglomerate was like that too, right? Thinking like that, I also wonder if it's fiction. But...
"I see. I'm really a happy person. Being loved by beauties like you."
"Yes~ So please accept it knowing it's an honor!"
"Yeah yeah~"
This is not a dream. I feel that conviction.
"And, if possible, tonight..."
"Ah, sorry about that."
"... Okay."
Since I already got, well, quite squeezed by Kiara... Physically I'm fine, but mentally I'm exhausted. Love that's too strong and one-sided, you see, night play is...
Kebab looks dejected but... she'll understand, right?
"Hey, Master... can you help me a bit?"
"What's with that look, Captain-captain."
"I smashed his head with a wrench, but even if his head breaks, he revives and attacks again..."
"Since I'm a Servant too, I can't resist too strongly for fear of killing him... Try talking to him. Help me, physically or mentally."
"Okay, okay. But, is Meunière doing that alone?"
"About two more female staff..."
"Ooh... Nemo-kun is indeed in high demand."
"You're saying that in front of me!?"
"Haha. Well then, I'll go help the Captain clean up this mess for now. Let's have dinner together later."
"Okay..."
She looks a bit sulky but... well, it's a common occurrence, right? If she keeps being like that, I'll comfort her while having dinner together later.
Thud...!
"I got rejected by Mastereeeee..."
