The perfect kouhai, BB-chan, who embodies both beauty and cuteness, actually hadn't figured out the man in front of her all this time.
Whether it was his bizarrely potent strength or his extraordinary methods, BB, who had once managed all of humanity, felt completely clueless. Although she was an AI, BB dared to say that no one understood humans better than she did! BB had even synthesized the human database from ancient times to the present within her brain to perform reverse deduction, attempting to find the personality model that best matched the man before her—
The answer was found, but even BB-chan herself couldn't quite believe it.
Could this man really be just a pre-2000s era farmer who worked the fields with a hoe? One had to know that even in the Moon Cell's simulations, farms were fully automated with machine harvesting!
"Thanks for your hard work, Abi."
Taking the supplies from Abigail Williams' hands, Suke noted that the successive battles with Meltryllis and Kingprotea had caused significant wear and tear on his backpack.
"It's no trouble~ Brother, you must be careful not to get too tired. After all, you get no profit from solving troubles for others~"
They were in a church located on the platform at the summit of the Deep Sea Cyber Paradise Singularity. Separated by a gate that was mysterious and profound, BB secretly peeked at the conversation between the Farmer and a blonde girl on the other side of the door.
"I wouldn't say there's no profit. Abi, you know that the operation of our Farm also requires partners, right?"
"Anyway, I know what I'm doing."
"Also, are you sure your Uncle can't come over, Abi?"
"It's not possible. Uncle said the essence of this place is too chaotic. If she came over, it wouldn't help anything other than directly detonating the powder keg."
"Abi and Uncle's powers come from the same source, so it's the same for me. I'm very sorry I can't help Brother..."
Abigail shook her head, cutting off that sliver of hope in Suke's heart.
Sigh, let's leave it at that for now.
Suke sighed internally, though he also felt that the 'Bubbles' (Mabel) would likely be banned by the world rules anyway. Choosing to consume the remaining opportunity of the second Iridium Key, Suke, who had opened the cross-realm gate in the Deep Sea Cyber Paradise, rubbed the blonde girl's head to express his gratitude.
BB actually recognized that blonde girl. Judging by her appearance, she should be 'Abigail Williams' from the 17th-century Salem trials. There was a record of this in her database. Was she also that man's Servant? She wondered what Class she was.
"Hmm..."
"Brother, who is that sister over there?"
Through the door, Abigail noticed BB, who was peeking over with shifty eyes from inside the church.
"Brother isn't going to provoke new girls again, is he? Abi thinks the Farm is already lively enough."
"If Brother goes out philandering again, Abi will tell sister Tsukishiro Yuki about this!"
"Also, this sister looks like a dairy cow. Abi doesn't like her..."
Abigail frowned, muttering to Suke.
By now, Abigail had already learned about what happened between Suke and Tsukishiro Yuki. After all, she was still living in the secondary bedroom of the Farm's main house. Only a fool wouldn't know what happened when hearing all sorts of strange, blush-inducing sounds coming from the master bedroom next door every night. She wasn't some ignorant child.
Regarding their relationship, she had shifted from her initial jealousy and refusal to accept it. Rather than showing a jealous side that might make Brother dislike her, it was better to use Brother's relationship with that sister—who wasn't even as tall as her—to ensure Brother didn't provoke even more people!
This was the perfect plan Abigail had formulated!
'What is this damn brat saying?!'
Because they were only separated by a single door, BB, who heard the words from the other side clearly, saw her face turn visibly red. Of course, it was the red of overheating with rage.
"Don't misunderstand, she's just a useless servant for serving tea and water." But immediately after, Suke's words dealt BB a critical hit.
'You dirt-clod of a smelly farmer, insult me again!'
If she were in possession of her full authority, anyone who dared to slander BB like this would have long since been stripped naked and hung up to dry on the skyscraper in the center of the Moon Cell. But now, aside from impotent rage in her heart, she seemed to have no other recourse. Just wait until she recovered her authority; she would definitely go to the place opposite that door—which seemed to be this farmer's base—and blow it up!
"Stop staring, useless kouhai AI."
"I advise you not to get any crooked ideas. There are dirty things in my place that you can't afford to provoke. It won't make a difference whether you go in with your authority restored or not."
"How is that possible!" BB clearly didn't believe it. One had to know that in her prime state, she was a supreme AI capable of hand-crafting the Spirit Origin of a Genesis Mother Goddess.
"That Kingprotea who chased us until we threw away our armor and dropped our weapons just now was fierce, right? That was also BB-chan's masterpiece!"
"Sessyoin Kiara..."
"You still dare mention her to me? I haven't settled the score with you regarding Kingprotea just now!"
He reached out to grab BB by the collar, but BB, having anticipated this, dodged nimbly and made a funny face at Suke.
Suke: ...
Hard. His fist was hard!
If BB didn't currently have a human body, he would definitely have delivered a charged haymaker punch to her lower abdomen!
"Let BB-chan see what exactly this door is... Whoa!"
"It hurts! BB's hand, woo-ah, BB's hand is going to break!!"
Arriving in front of the cross-realm gate, BB, who had recovered some authority under the supply of magical energy, wanted to try analyzing the nature of the gate. However, the moment her hand touched the doorknob, she let out a miserable scream of pain!
Suke looked over. Sure enough, the tips of BB's fingers that touched the doorknob had directly turned to white bone. There was an aura unique to Stardew Valley wrapped around it. Suke could feel that even Hikami Meruru's conceptual-level healing magic would be useless against it.
He pulled BB back, stuffed two pieces of Stardew Valley specialty Cranberry Candy into her mouth to shut her up, and incidentally helped her recover her Health.
The reason he opened the cross-realm gate in the Deep Sea Cyber Paradise, aside from facilitating supplies, was that Suke had actually thought about luring the enemy—the Demonic Bodhisattva—into a trap. What if the opponent was also stupid enough, like BB, to try entering the door directly?
"BB, are you reliable or not?"
"It's been so long and Lilith still hasn't woken up. You didn't stab her to death with one needle, did you?"
Inside the room in the church, Meltryllis was still in a coma. Fujimaru Ritsuka, entrusted by Suke, was responsible for looking after her. Although she suspected she had been NTR'd (cuckolded), Fujimaru Ritsuka still had a sense of responsibility. After all, she was actually the second most reliable person present.
"I... probably didn't?"
Probably?
"What does 'probably' mean? Translate that for me!"
"Uh, well, actually BB-chan hadn't figured out what was going on with that fellow Sessyoin's corruption either. I just temporarily knocked Lilith out~"
BB blinked her eyes, putting on an innocent look.
"After all, Master, you couldn't take her down for a while either, so I made a move. Aren't you going to thank BB-chan quickly~?"
Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier! Suke was nearly speechless with anger. When it came to BB, he suspected he had lost all his strength and means.
He went into the room where Meltryllis was settled. After taking off those half-body-length high heels, the blue-haired girl, who had suddenly become extremely petite, was sleeping peacefully on the bed. Not far from her, Fujimaru Ritsuka sat on a chair, looking through the books and records within the church. At this moment, the reading red-haired girl looked quite demure, having lost her usual hippie-like playfulness.
Although she had already looked through the data originally belonging to the SE.RA.PH oil rig base once when clearing this Singularity in the past, as a Master without a Servant now, Fujimaru Ritsuka truly had nothing to do.
"Boss, you're here?"
"Is there any of the previous lunch left? I'm not quite full!"
Fine, Suke had overestimated her. When he walked into the room, that demure temperament of Fujimaru Ritsuka vanished instantly.
"Eh, I knew you cared about me, Boss. You even brought me an apple!"
"Although this apple doesn't look very fresh, since it was brought to me by the Boss, I'll reluctantly..."
Apple?
Suke froze. When he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka reach out and pull a round, yellow object from his outer trouser pocket, looking ready to bite...
Vile creature, stop!
"Waah!"
"Boss, why did you slap me!"
"Starfruit, Starfruit!"
The moment before Fujimaru Ritsuka put the Junimo Starfruit into her mouth, Suke slapped her face and snatched the food from the tiger's mouth—taking it back from Gudako's hand.
"You just grab things and shove them in your mouth!"
"Open your eyes wide and look, is this edible?"
Although he didn't know when the Junimo Starfruit had run into his trouser pocket and crossed the cross-realm gate with him, Suke had a premonition that Starfruit must have its reasons for doing so. Now that the Community Center was open, Starfruit, who lived in the Pantry, had also successfully helped him repair the Greenhouse using forest magic after he completed the bundle sacrifice there.
You might not know how gold-standard this achievement is in this Stardew Valley where the supernatural is absolutely forbidden. This tiny Junimo had accomplished a feat that even Mabel, the incarnation of Bubbles, could not achieve!
"Starfruit, chirp, Starfruit!"
(Starfruit senses malice leaked from Yoba here. Starfruit wants to help the Farmer!)
The Junimo's words sounded directly inside Suke's brain. It hopped onto the comatose Meltryllis's bed, swaying unsteadily, looking like a shaman performing a ritual dance.
"What is this little thing? An apple spirit?"
"It smells so good... Your familiar?"
Starfruit's appearance also attracted BB's attention. She poked Starfruit's jelly-like body with the teaching pointer in her hand, thinking this was Suke's familiar. But for some reason, BB had an impulse to chew up this little yellow apple and swallow it.
Reasonably speaking, as an AI, even if she turned into a human body, she shouldn't generate such an intense craving for human food. Especially under the premise that she had just enjoyed the delicious lunch prepared by Suke.
"Don't poke around randomly. Where does an AI get so much curiosity!"
"Starfruit, do you mean you can dispel the corruption on her?"
Watching Starfruit circling around Meltryllis, hope rose in Suke's heart. It really had to be the native species of their Stardew Valley that were reliable, much stronger than a certain slack-off Bubble!
"Starfruit, chirp!"
(Starfruit doesn't understand what corruption means, but Yoba's malice is indeed attached to this soul!)
(Starfruit needs time to absorb this malice. Cannot be disturbed during the process. Please help Starfruit, Farmer!)
"I understand."
Suke quickly understood Starfruit's meaning. In short, Starfruit needed to hold a ritual to remove Meltryllis's mental pollution, and he needed to protect it. This matter was simple. One had to know that when he led BB and the others to escape to this church located at the head of the Singularity earlier, he had already cleared the surrounding wandering Servants once! A tiny Junimo like Starfruit... presumably the commotion caused by holding a ritual wouldn't be that big...
"▼▲▼▲..."
Mysterious and incomprehensible Junimo language came from Starfruit's mouth, and an extremely sweet and intoxicating scent began to burst forth and spread within the room. This scent continued to diffuse, from the room to the church, and then from the church to the entire upper layer of the Deep Sea Cyber Paradise's head.
In an instant, Suke had a bad premonition in his heart.
He first looked back at Fujimaru Ritsuka and BB. The latter was constantly swallowing saliva, while the former was already drooling.
"So fragrant, I really want to eat..."
"I can't take it anymore——!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly grabbed a stack of paper from the room's desk, folded it a few times, and stuffed it into her mouth to fill it up. Only then did she barely suppress the impulse to grab Starfruit and eat it in one bite.
BB's reaction wasn't much better. Although she didn't drool, that flushed face and trembling delicate body looked as if she had accidentally ingested an aphrodisiac.
Suke hurriedly ran to the window of the church room and looked out—
Because this was the highest layer of the Singularity, he soon saw figures of Servants gathering towards this summit church from all directions.
Let him count...
Servants with Spirit Origins at the demigod level and above included Goldie (Gilgamesh), Little Sun (Karna), Ram II (Ozymandias), Heracles... The Golden Three Targets were all here, right?! As for the many more secondary Servants, he wouldn't mention them. Each of them possessed unique skills, definitely enough to make one excited enough to get fully erect!
No, bro? My little Junimo, are you trying to trigger a zombie apocalypse?!
"What do we do?"
What do we do? Only Heaven knows.
Maintaining her rationality, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked weakly, obviously having also seen this spectacular scenery. In the past, she led Chaldea's Servants to gang up on others; now, she was going to be ganged up on by Chaldea's Servants. Was it too late for her to defect—oh no, return to her own Chaldea?
"How about... we hand Melt over?" BB began to unleash her world-shaking wisdom.
But the key wasn't Meltryllis, it was Starfruit who was treating her, hey!
"We can't hand over Lilith, and definitely not Starfruit. Don't even think about it!"
" isn't it just dozens or a hundred Servants? Watch me push them back!"
Although he was a Farmer, Suke was not the kind of guy who cooks the hound once the hare is caught. There was no logic in discarding Starfruit, who had just repaired the Greenhouse for him not long ago, after using it.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, return to Stardew Valley. Go get Tsukishiro Yuki!"
"BB, you watch over Lilith and Starfruit here. If the situation looks bad, throw this totem on Starfruit!"
"Let's get this straight first: if you dare to try to eat Starfruit, when I come back, I will definitely let you experience what a stomach fk is!"
Handing a [Warp Totem: Farm] to BB, he threatened her by waving his fist, causing her to shrink her neck. Suke planned to go out and explode with these hundred Servants. The bombs he made during Salem just happened to be unused; they were perfect for now!
Anyway, this group of Servants was only interested in Starfruit, not BB and Meltryllis. Given her cleverness, nothing should happen to her. As for himself, at worst he would die back to Stardew Valley and then run back here!
After checking the material reserves in his backpack, Suke ran out of the church in three steps combined into two.
The Heroic Spirit Servants from various eras gathered in front of the church relying on their primal craving instincts. Influenced by the Demonic Bodhisattva, they seemed rational, but in reality, they were already filled with killing intent and tyranny!
"Hand over this King's treasure, mongrel!"
Golden armor draped over his body, the treasury descending from the sky; the oldest Hero King looked down with contempt.
"Commoner, We permit you to gaze upon the Pharaoh's glory!"
The Sphinx, the temple's radiant light; the proud Pharaoh chanted loudly.
"Give up resistance. Under Brahma's gaze, all this is already destined."
"Roar—! (Roaring)"
The heroes of human history were driven by hunger and dominated by killing intent, arriving before the church. Before definitively seizing what they craved, their intense desires kept them from slaughtering each other. Instead, they all faced that man standing in front of the church, holding a starlight purple sword and a shepherd's crook.
Dressed like a farmer who would be considered a commoner even among commoners.
This smelly tiller of the land was truly something big now; nearly half the Heroic Spirit Servants in human history had come to 'serve' him alone. He remembered Gudako had vaguely muttered in the past about wanting people to serve him; now, her wish was granted.
Looking up high, the phantom of the Demonic Bodhisattva in the high heavens also slowly opened her willow-leaf eyes, casting her gaze down—
She seemed to be rejoicing over the cruel and bloody large-scale slaughter that was about to occur.
Suke suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard, which corresponded very well to this scene and situation:
Do you want to become a hero, or stay a coward for the rest of your life?
Even if... only for a little while?
"Come, heroes of human history! Let me see your skills!"
"Let's get this straight first!"
"————You are the challengers!"
