In a car separate from the car containing Aoi, Rin, Sakura and Medea driven by Maiya.
Unlike those who returned home, their car driven by Artoria was headed in the other direction and had been teleported to London by Eiji.
"Eiji, what did you give Rin?" Irisviel asked her husband.
Earlier when they were still at the tomb, she saw him talking to Rin and then, he gave something to her.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Artoria was also curious and raised her ears.
Eiji casually said, "Oh, it's some kind of magic item that can give power to the user. I gave the same thing to Sakura in the past."
"You mean, you turned Rin into a Beast too, Eiji?"
Artoria guessed with surprise on her face.
Irisviel had the same expression.
Eiji enjoyed the reactions of the two beauties and shook his head, "No, what I gave Rin was the power of the ancient Goddess, Ishtar."
"...!"
It wasn't just the two women who were dumbfounded, the women watching the livestream were the same.
They didn't understand how Eiji could give that kind of power to another person as if it were a cabbage.
They didn't know who Ishtar was, but since she was a Goddess, she must be powerful.
As if knowing what they were thinking, Eiji's inner voice sounded.
[Ishtar in Fate is a powerful ancient Mesopotamian goddess with an overbearing personality, who uses Rin Tohsaka's body as a vessel to fight as a Servant.]
[It happened in the game version and was adapted into an anime called Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia. Gosh, that's one of my favorite anime series.]
???
That's not what we want to know, but how strong she is.
[Speaking of how strong she is... I remember her main weapon is the celestial boat "Maanna" which functions as an interstellar teleportation portal, and she can use it to shoot energy as powerful as the planet Venus in the form of arrows.]
Hiss!
Several women in the chat group hissed.
[Latia (DxD): This goddess... is quite powerful.]
[Iryuka (DxD): You speak as if you have energy as powerful as a planet, Latia.]
[Ravel (DxD): As expected of Eiji-sama!]
[Mio (Shinmai Maou): Why are you complimenting Eiji, Ravel?]
[Mars (TWGOK): Energy as strong as a planet, huh. I have it now too!]
[Diana (TWGOK): Mars, there's no point bragging here.]
Irisviel's eyes lit up, she couldn't help but ask about something.
"Eiji, can I also become stronger?"
"Of course, and don't you feel much stronger now? The Master-Servant contract gives you a buff."
According to Eiji's estimation, Irisviel's magic and physical strength were now no less than most Servants.
However, she would still be defeated by them especially a Berserker due to her lack of combat experience and special techniques or moves.
"Eiji, that's not it. What I want is..."
"I know, take this."
Under everyone's curious gaze, Eiji like Doraemon— ehem, he took out a banana from his inventory.
But unlike ordinary bananas, it was pale yellow in color and had a green "T" shaped stem. Unique in shape, the banana also had a swirl pattern and two small black marks that resembled ghost eyes.
"Eiji, it's not good to play with food."
"Pfft!"
Irisviel misunderstood, she thought Eiji had painted a banana to make it look attractive.
Artoria couldn't help but laugh.
Eiji looked at Saber, especially the ahoge on top of her head flatly before looking back at his wife.
"My wife, Iris..."
He spoke softly.
"Yes, my husband?" Irisviel tilted her head innocently.
"This banana in my hand is no ordinary banana, it is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit called Horo Horo no Mi."
Eiji then explained that the fruit came from another world and whoever ate it would gain superpowers.
He had it because in the past, Miss System gave him all the Devil Fruit sets.
Many of the women in the group chat already knew about Devil Fruit, they were just curious what abilities Horo Horo no Mi had.
However, this was the first time Artoria and Irisviel had heard of a fruit that could give superpowers to the person who ate it.
Irisviel's eyes lit up, she took the banana in her husband's hand and asked, "Thank you Eiji. This banana... I just need to eat it like eating a normal banana, right?"
"That's right and don't worry about it tasting disgusting."
"Disgusting?"
Irisviel who was peeling the banana skin in her hand became hesitant to eat it.
Eiji smiled amusedly.
"Irisviel, Eiji must be joking. Look at the smile on his face!"
[Just focus on driving and don't point at your master's face, Artoria-chan.]
Hearing this, Artoria snorted and returned her gaze to the front. With her riding skills, it was unlikely that they would take an accident.
"I was kidding, my Devil Fruit at least has a good flavor." Eiji admitted that he was joking.
Irisviel asked, "That means Devil Fruit generally has a disgusting flavor?"
"That's right."
[Universally, Devil Fruit is known to have a very unpleasant or disgusting taste in the original work entitled One Piece.]
[Characters who eat it, such as the protagonist Luffy even show a disgusted expression and complain about it tasting bitter or like something rotten.]
[There is no specific good taste although the fruit may look interesting or unique, no Devil Fruit tastes good.]
[However, the Devil Fruit I have is different because I got it from one of my women.]
Who is that woman?
Many heroines believed it was the same woman who had given Eiji the power of the King of Heroes.
Miss System: "....."
Irisviel was relieved that at least, the taste of the banana in her hand wouldn't be disgusting. She slowly ate it and widened her eyes under Artoria's nervous gaze.
"Irisviel, how does it taste?"
"It tastes like a normal banana."
That was an unexpected answer in this situation.
But after Irisviel finished eating it, she raised one finger and immediately, a transparent white hollow figure like a classic ghost appeared.
Have you ever watched Casper?
That is the classic ghost I am referring to.
Artoria and the women watching the livestream were immediately dumbfounded.
"Waah! What a cute little creature!" Irisviel exclaimed, the hollow or rather ghost that came out of her finger swirling around in the car.
"Is that... A ghost?" Artoria asked.
Eiji answered, "Yes, Horo Horo no Mi allows the user to create a "Negative Hollow" that can manipulate the souls and emotions of others. Targets touched by it will lose their fighting spirit."
"!!!" Everyone.
Isn't that fruit ability quite scary and underhanded?
For example, if Irisviel faced a Berserker on a rampage, she could use the ghost she created to make him lose his will to fight and freeze in place.
Artoria understood this, she herself even had to avoid being touched by the ghost if fighting Irisviel.
"Hm?" Irisviel seemed to realize something about Horo Horo no Mi. It was natural because everyone who ate Devil Fruit would realize how they could use its power.
It was like an instinct.
The ghost in the car flew through the roof of the car, Irisviel controlled it with her mind and made the creature fly high into the sky.
At a certain height.
*Boom!*
The classic ghost exploded with enough destructive force to destroy a wall.
The scene was witnessed by everyone.
Irisviel: "I can also explode it."
"Ah, I forgot Horo Horo no Mi can also do that. From now on, Iris can be a powerful long-range combatant."
Eiji basically praised her.
Irisviel was delighted and giggled.
Artoria was starting to become numb to the unusual things about her master. He had magical powers that exceeded those of a Servant, had a powerful army (shadow soldiers) and was able to defeat the King of Heroes with his own power.
If he wanted to, he could have won the Holy Grail War by himself.
Why didn't he do it?
For example now, instead of dealing with the other remaining servants, Assassin and Rider.
They had just arrived at Sophie-Ri's family home. It was Sola's house, she had invited Eiji to come to her house and originally wanted to come personally to pick him up.
However, Tokiomi's funeral made Eiji reject that idea and said he would come to her house.
"Welcome, Eiji and you two. My father and the others are waiting."
In a sexy ball gown the same color as her hair (brownish red), Sola welcomed them at the entrance of the villa.
Irisviel and Artoria were also actually wearing ball gowns created by Eiji's magic. The former is white and the latter dark blue, each accentuating their respective curves and merits.
As for our protagonist, Eiji? He was wearing a black after suit with a white shirt underneath.
Sola's eyes lit up when she saw how handsome he was. Oh, wait. From now on he will be her fiancé.
"Sola, you are very beautiful today." Eiji casually said sweet words that would make any woman happy.
[Your words are so natural as if you've said them to hundreds of women, host.]
What Miss System said was actually a fact considering her host's harem and she must be complimenting him, right?
She did, Eiji thought.
"Really?" Sola was happy and hugged one of Eiji's empty arms. His other arm was hugged by Irisviel.
Artoria stood behind them and acted as a bodyguard.
"Why would I lie? Many men inside will definitely be jealous of seeing me surrounded by three super beautiful women."
The corners of Eiji's lips lifted higher, the women who had known him for a long time like Lala, Rias and the others knew he was excited.
This man...
He didn't like parties, but enjoyed the envious stares of the other men whenever he came with his woman.
Irisviel and Sola felt sweet in their hearts and Artoria? She blushed.
The King of Knights was not even able to resist the Harem King's attack. Leme laughed.
Soon, they walked into the villa and except for Eiji, none of them noticed someone aiming at them with optical aim in the distance.
More precisely, the protagonist of Fate/Zero, Kiritsugu was now crouching on the roof of a building while holding a sniper with special bullets.
That's right, he did not keep his promise to Eiji after completing his recovery and used dirty tactics.
"From this distance, I can't believe I can't kill Eiji even if he's with his servant."
"Just like any other Magus, he must be vulnerable to modern weapons."
Kiritsugu muttered as if convincing himself.
He actually lacked confidence, but for the sake of obtaining the Holy Grail and creating a world free of war and conflict. He realized that Eiji was his biggest obstacle.
Fortunately yesterday he received news from Sophie-Ri's family that they would be having an engagement party.
It was rather sudden considering Sola's fiancé Kayneth lost the Holy Grail War and news of his death spread.
After their future son-in-law died, the head of the Sophie-Ri family quickly appointed another man to be his daughter's fiancé.
He seemed to be in such a hurry that he did not mind offending Kayneth's family, El-Melloi Archibald.
Kiritsugu did not care about the reason behind it, but he had a guess that the man who would become Sola's new fiancé was likely Eiji.
That was why he was here.
And his guess seemed to be correct. He saw Sola hugging one of Eiji's arms and Irisviel doing the same.
Even he who was known to be cold and indifferent felt envious when he saw that scene.
"Irisviel..."
Kiritsugu somehow often thought of her figure since seeing her picture. Seeing her in person, she was even more beautiful and made him a little dazed.
A great feeling of loss again arose in his heart.
He did not notice the green hat on his head.
"Still, isn't Eiji already married to her? Why are he and Sola engaged?"
That question crossed his mind and he realized that Eiji was a Bastard. Irisviel did not deserve him, why after killing him, did he not have Irisviel for himself?
Kiritsugu was surprised at what he himself was thinking.
Since when was he obsessed with women?
If in the past he was like this, he would not have rejected Maiya's feelings and perhaps she would not have betrayed him.
...
Back again to Eiji's side.
"Wow! Who is that silver-haired woman? She's so beautiful like a fairy!"
"She's hugging the same man as Lady Sola."
"What's their relationship?"
"Rather than that, I'm more curious who the blonde woman behind them is? That hair and figure truly epitomize the beauty of Britannia!"
When seeing the three women who entered with Eiji, the other men present at the party whispered.
The women did the same but on Eiji, they were staring at him as if they wanted to eat him.
A middle-aged man with brownish-red hair and a mustache was the first to speak to him.
"You are Eiji Seiya? Your appearance is amazing, it's only fitting that my daughter is in love with you."
He then introduced himself as the head of the Sophie-Ri family and the father of Sola, Rufleus Nuada-Re Eulyphis.
He was the head of the Spiritual Evocation Department at the Mage's Association known as Clock Tower.
Facing a person of such status, Eiji acted casually.
"You seem to have heard so much about me that you want me to get engaged to your daughter right away."
"Although I'm already married and have many women."
What he said made the other guests stunned for a moment.
Did that mean that the head of the Sophie-Ri family wanted his daughter to become a concubine or something?
It was surprising and would have a bad impact on Sophie-Ri's family reputation.
However, Rufleus still had a flattering expression on his face and laughed
"Hahaha. Eiji, I have indeed been informed by Sola including the information that you are a First Magic user."
"!!!"
He dropped a bomb on every magus in the room with a proud expression.
While many of them wondered if it was true and some of them suspected he was lying.
Rufleus actually hoped Eiji would prove it. If not, he would be embarrassed and regret acting quickly.
That was because after the news of Kayneth's defeat in the Holy Grail War spread, his family's status decreased and became the subject of ridicule.
He was not happy about that and later, Sola came home with news about Eiji. Instead of being angry that his daughter had fallen in love with another man right after the death of her fiancé, he was excited because of what?
Eiji was the first Magic user!
Getting his daughter engaged and then married to have offspring with him would not only secure his family's status.
It would increase Sophie-Ri's family status even further.
Eiji understood and did not mind his father-in-law's way of thinking this time. He was satisfied as long as he had his daughter. So under everyone's gaze, he snapped his fingers while using Anos' creation magic.
Instantly, a mountain of gold jewelry mixed with diamonds appeared in the middle of the room and stunned everyone there.
"I see, this is my gift to you, father-in-law."
Shortly thereafter, the news that the First Magic user appeared and he became the Sophie-Ri Family's son-in-law spread from the people who attended the engagement party and witnessed the process to completion.
The party was not today's plot, what Eiji was most looking forward to was the movements of the protagonist Kiritsugu.
On the second floor balcony.
"Geez... Artoria, you eat too much, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Irisviel said that while looking helplessly at the King of Knights.
Currently, Artoria was eating a meat steak and beside her, there was a mountain of her own used plate.
She swallowed the meat steak that was so soft and juicy in her mouth before replying, "I am a Servant, I will always be in my ideal or peak physical form during my lifespan."
"Being a Servant has such advantages? I'm a little envious."
Irisviel joked, she herself did not have to fear fat because she did not like to eat as much as Artoria.
Moreover, she often exercised with her husband so it was hard for her to get fat. Talking with Eiji, she glanced towards the balcony and found him cuddling with Sola.
Irisviel was not jealous, she had already passed that phase since Aoi had also become her woman and she knew the women in the heroines' chat group.
Before this, Sola had even asked permission from her and Aoi.
She was just curious.
"Eiji, we are now engaged. If you want, we can continue what we were doing before at Aoi's house." Sola coquettishly rubbed her fiancé's chest.
She stared at the handsome face in front of her with a fiery gaze, similar to that of a she-wolf.
Yare-yare, Eiji thought.
"Let's do that later because right now, I have to deal with a rat first."
Sola and Irisviel did not expect him to refuse to do anything perverted.
But just then, the ahoge on top of Artoria's head stood up, her instincts making her realize the impending threat.
Even so, she still continued eating because she knew how strong her master was.
The proof— *Bang!*
The gunshot was barely audible, but it sounded very clear to Eiji's ears.
A bullet flew towards his head and although he wouldn't be hurt by such a low-level attack.
He would rather use that opportunity to test the reward he got this morning.
Wait, he didn't even have to do anything because the GER (Gold Experience Requiem) activated automatically.
So, the area around him suddenly experienced a visual glitch or distortion, as if reality was being distorted and making bullets that were about to touch him stop in midair.
The background color or environment also changes to inverse colors or has a momentary dark blue hue.
From the perspective of Sola, Irisviel and Artoria. The bullet that stopped in mid-air then began to fly "backwards" to its initial position as if it had never been fired, negating its trajectory and momentum.
The most surprised person was of course the protagonist Kiritsugu, he even dropped the weapon in his hand when the bullet he fired re-entered his sniper muzzle.
"What happened?!"
He also panicked because at this moment, his position must have been discovered.
He hurriedly turned around and ran from that place. After his sneak attack failed, he was not stupid enough to fight directly with Eiji and his servant at his side.
"Who dares to attack my fiancé?!" Sola was angry but Eiji squeezed her plump ass and made her look back at him.
There was a question mark above her head.
"Don't worry, it's Kiritsugu and he won't be able to run away this time."
