Leysritt stormed through the halls of Einzbern Castle, her red eyes fuming.
How dare he?! She was thinking, grinding her teeth. How dare he do… that… with Illya still imprisoned inside him?!!
First, he took the appearance of an Einzbern.
Still, Leysritt could let it go, given that it would benefit the Einzbern Family when her mistress regained her body.
However, he went and brought another Servant back with him.
Not just another Servant, but the most treacherous kind — The Caster.
Surprisingly, he became a Master of a second Heroic Spirit while still having a Berserker of his own.
Leysritt knew everything that was to know about the Holy Grail War.
Having two Heroic Spirits went against the Holy Grail War's rules.
Not to mention, the Overseer might have already sensed the oddity, given only a few days remaining to the start of the Fifth War.
To Leysritt's dismay, all this didn't seem enough to him.
For him to… For him to… make the entire castle fill with vulgar noises.
As she approached the bedchamber, where her mistress' mother used to live before she died, Leysritt had to close her eyes, balling her fingers into fists.
The noises…
If only she could temporarily deafen herself.
But, with what this man had already done, there remained a constant threat of getting attacked.
Leysritt couldn't let this man die until he returned Illya.
She wouldn't let him die even if he wanted to.
Grinding her teeth, Leysritt threw the door open with a bang. The moment her eyes landed on the bed, they popped out, a blush taking root on her cheeks.
Making unbearable lascivious moans, Caster was… moving up and down.
And he was lying on the bed, grabbing her thighs.
Then, ignoring Leysritt, Caster kept going on, becoming faster and faster.
With a loud moan, the Heroic Spirit fell forward, her head landing on his chest.
A vein pulsed on Leysritt's forehead. "How dare you?!" she thundered. "My mistress can sense what's going on outside! How dare you…"
A giggle entered her ears as Caster slid off him, a robe materializing around her.
"… Your mistress is old enough to know the ways of a woman," she said, holding a small smile on her lips.
A massive halberd appeared in Leysritt's hands.
Why shouldn't she strike both of them down right there and then? She couldn't find a reason.
Suddenly, Leysritt felt the back of her neck getting wet.
A primal terror flashed across her face as she slowly craned her neck up.
There, clinging to the ceiling upside down, salivating with a long tongue slithering out of its mouth, was Berserker.
"I like your kind," Berserker's heavy voice penetrated her ears. "So… feisty. You are getting tastier by the day…"
More and more saliva drooped from the Berserker's mouth, sickening Leysritt.
Was it… Was it watching them… doing it?! For how long had it been there on the roof?!
Leysritt looked down and found Caster standing right in front of her, her breasts hanging out of the thin robe.
The Witch put her finger on Leysritt's face and ran it down, reaching her stomach. "You can join next time…"
Glaring, fuming, and biting her lips, Leysritt turned around and walked away.
At the door's threshold, she stopped and looked over her shoulder. "The temple is mostly empty," she reported, despite not feeling like talking at all. "A man is living there… He is not a Mage."
Then, she disappeared, closing the door with a bang.
…
Black put on his clothes, staring at the Command Seal on the back of his right hand.
The moment Medea had accepted to be his Servant, the Holy Grail had recognized him to be her Master.
However, what Leysritt was thinking was true as well.
The Holy Grail War didn't tolerate one Master having two Servants.
So, Medea didn't receive any Mana from him, despite Black currently having enough to power both Venom and her.
He only acted as Medea's anchor to the world, letting her continue as a Servant in the Holy Grail War.
"There are better options to refill your Mana," he told her, smiling. "Sex is not a big deal, but…"
Medea giggled. "Of course, there are better options, Master," she said, coming to a stop in front of him, "but… they don't feel this good…"
Laughing, Black dressed for school.
"I didn't sense Command Seal on Sakura," he mentioned. "Did you?"
"If you are asking about Rider," Medea said, her Caster robes fully taking shape on her, "then, yes. I sensed her presence, there. As you said, someone else is controlling the Rider… for now."
Black sat down on a sofa, Medea serving him tea with a flick of her hand.
"Zouken will act soon," he told her. "Before the beginning of the Holy Grail War. Have you made all the preparations?"
That's why Medea had been losing her Mana so fast.
Because what they were about to attempt needed not only preparations, but also caution. If even one thing went wrong, then both she and her Master would be obliterated, getting corrupted on the spot.
"Most," Medea replied. "I will go to Ryuudou Temple…"
Black shook his head. "No need," he said. "I will send Berserker."
Medea frowned. She didn't like the brute. Not only was it vulgar, but it also lacked manners. It acted more like a willful child than a Heroic Spirit.
Speaking of Heroic Spirit, despite trying to unearth Berserker's secrets using Magic, she hadn't found out its true identity.
"Medea…"
Medea's heart thumped, making her thoughts snap.
The way this man called her name… why did it feel so… gentle and calm?! Why did she keep feeling like she could do anything for him, and even that won't be enough?!
There was no Magic she didn't know that he could have used on her without her knowledge.
Yet, she felt ensnared, finding him more and more mysterious… and worthy.
"Yes?" she asked, giggling. "Another round?"
Black laughed. "No…" he said, getting up. "I will keep interacting with Sakura for the next few days. Meanwhile, I need you to keep an eye on Zouken. Also, make sure you are at your best tonight, even if you have to delay other things."
Medea's brows rose. "Why?"
"It's time…" Black said, walking past her. "We need to visit the Overseer."
