Chapter 113: The Rejection Has Completely Failed Beneath a Mother's Love!
"As long as you have that thought, I can cooperate with you anytime…"
Marie Alter gently brushed her hair aside and whispered softly.
Eikou screamed inwardly in his mind: What the hell is she talking about?! Who would ever want to do those [beep——] and [beep——] things with you! That [beep——]play is absolutely impossible! I don't have such twisted fetishes!
Moreover, her current Spirit Origin is in the little evil girl form, not the mature onee-san or gentle wife type — there isn't the slightest bit of maternal vibe at all! No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit that kind of role!
Wait, but if she were an older onee-san, that would be even worse… too much of a perfect match, which makes it even more forbidden!
Smack!
Eikou slapped himself hard in the face, trying to keep his mind clear from the strange images flooding his head.
No, I can't let myself get led around by her anymore!
Just a few words from her were enough to throw his thoughts into chaos — just one glance could make any man's imagination run wild. The charm of this Queen of France was truly terrifying.
But I am the pure-love warrior, Eikoucles! My heart is filled with respect for the motif "boy meets girl." Feeling a mother's tenderness from a girl — that's heresy among heresies! When the relationship between a boy and a girl becomes unbalanced, turning into something forbidden, then how can it still be called pure love!
"I told you already, don't be too burdened by me…"
Marie Alter extended her delicate white hand and gently caressed his cheek.
Her eyes were full of affection and tenderness, mingled with a seductive gentleness that seeped into his very bones.
"There, there… I know you've been under a lot of pressure — the Holy Grail War, your studies. Deep down, you must be yearning for a mother who can love you unconditionally, care for you, guide you… isn't that right?"
Don't… don't talk to me in that soothing tone! Don't be so gentle with me like that!
Thump, thump!
Eikou's heartbeat grew faster and louder.
It's over — even though she's in her innocent little girl Spirit Origin, he didn't feel anything wrong about it. On the contrary, his heart was racing even more.
No way, the "girlfriend route" for young girls should already be packed! There are already top-tier heroines like Jeanne Alter and Tohsaka Rin… so why am I feeling stirred up again!?
Could it be…
This is what they call "Marie Alter — the one who could become my mother."
So that's it — feeling the tenderness of motherhood from someone completely unrelated to age. Even a girl who died at seventeen could be seen as a mother by some masked thirty-four-year-old man.
Char Aznable… why the hell am I starting to understand that bastard!?
Smack!
Eikou's heart plummeted into an endless abyss.
So he had been wrong from the start — Marie Alter never intended to take the "white moonlight (Note: refers to 'first love' or an unforgettable love in Chinese slang)" or "little evil" route at all. She wanted to subvert his entire perception through the combination of "young girl + maternal love."
Once he realized that, he was no longer himself — the god of pure love was dragged down from his shrine atop Olympus, and his preferences were being forcibly rewritten by this hybrid goddess from France!
"After tasting such an exhilarating type of girlfriend, will you ever be moved by girls your own age again?" — that was Marie Alter's true goal!
A terrifying opponent that sent chills down his spine…
"Why so quiet now, are you embarrassed?"
Marie Alter smiled and asked, her voice suddenly turning far more alluring.
"!"
Eikou's eyes widened in shock.
In just that brief moment of distraction, she had quietly switched to her Third Ascension — the form of a mature wife.
This woman had finally unleashed her ultimate move — after throwing his mind into disarray with her young girl form, then using extreme contrast to shake his awareness, now she had summoned the final form that he could no longer resist!
So… so BIG!
Eikou was startled by the massive size of those two "buns," instinctively pulling his chair back.
"Why are you avoiding my gaze? Could it be you don't like mature women with seductive figures?"
Marie Alter feigned a troubled frown, then took another step forward.
Eikou instinctively wanted to run, but the other had already anticipated his move — she smiled and reached out, wrapping her hand around his head.
"Don't run, I won't do anything bad to you~…"
With that, Marie Alter tightened her embrace, pulling him into her chest.
His face pressed against her warm, motherly bosom.
"Actually, Eikou, you've always yearned for this kind of love, haven't you…"
"Ugh…"
Eikou could barely breathe.
So… so damn good!
[Whenever you're about to suffocate, she loosens her hold, but before you can even take a breath, she tightens it again.]
[Over and over, the cycle repeats…]
[You can feel it: her wickedness, her motherly tenderness, her love, the composure of a mature woman, and the ultimate allure of a queen bearing the aura of a mother to the world...]
[In that moment, the two of you grew closer, feeling the deep love she has for you.]
[You have learned a new skill, "My Love Is Eternal B."]
["My Love Is Eternal B": Grants yourself invincibility once, grants all allies except yourself one revival, and restores all allies' HP.]
[Social Effect: Acquired from Marie Alter. When activating this skill, you gain temporary advantage in compatibility checks against young Servants; however, you suffer a disadvantage against Servants of the opposite sex who are older, possess maternal traits, or have voluptuous figures.]
What the hell is this? It looks strong and useful, but she just secretly handed me a landmine!
I was already terrible at dealing with onee-sans, and now this just makes it worse!
These damn skills… how corrupted have they become by those married women? Little by little, they've turned into their own safe zone!
[After some time, you finally managed to come up with an excuse to flee from the Student Council office. If you didn't run now, you might actually have your tastes bent, and start understanding Tristan and Lancelot.]
[This time, she didn't stop you — instead, she smiled radiantly as she saw you off, as if saying, "Once we're really dating, we'll have so many more fun things to do, so think carefully, okay?"]
[You were genuinely afraid now — afraid that just one more day, and you'd be completely conquered by her.]
"I didn't lose, I won't admit defeat, but still…"
Eikou's face flushed red as he stepped out of the office.
"I clearly came here to reject her, so why do I feel like I've sunk even deeper? Am I really that shameless of a man… Is it because of the Disaster With Women trait…"
...
"Fufufu~."
Marie Alter tilted her head slightly from behind the door, her eyes brimming with passionate affection.
In her heart, she found Eikou utterly adorable — such a good-natured boy being teased so badly by a wicked woman, and still thinking it's his own fault in the end.
The Queen of France gently licked her alluring pink lips.
A wonderful man like that… she had to make him hers alone. Therefore——
This date, she must make him "graduate"!
To her, this was the best, and perhaps the only, chance in her life.
She would surpass all other members of the Eikou Club, even overtaking those behind them — the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom, and the group of teachers led by Scathach. After that, all of them would become losers in this battle!
Especially Jeanne Alter — she would make Eikou say while doing it: "Jeanne Alter, I can't go back anymore."
If Jeanne Alter were to learn of the situation between the two of them, especially the thoughts running through Marie Alter's mind right now, in her rage and shock, she would no doubt scream: "Don't tell me even I've become part of your play?!"
