"Oh, King, you truly don't understand the human heart!"
Kisaragi Rin looked at Saber in disbelief, truly unable to imagine how she could utter words that made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, coming from a mouth that was 37℃.
It's my fault as a subordinate for not being able to prepare glowing cuisine for you, but it's not a death sentence, is it? Was there really a need to add fuel to the fire directly?
Although he knew Saber didn't do it on purpose, Kisaragi's complaints kept bubbling up in his mind, unable to stop, because if he stopped, he would have to consider how to answer this sharp question.
"So what exactly are you arguing about? Why don't you just ask Kisaragi Rin who he likes? Shouldn't such a thing be decided by asking the person himself?"
Saber's simple words directly shifted the conflict between the two sides, pulling the detached Kisaragi directly into the battlefield, and as a vanguard death knight!
Kisaragi Rin knew deeply that choosing either Esdeath or Medea would plunge the relationship with the other into complete darkness.
As for saying something like, "Only children make choices; I want both of you," if he dared to say such words outright, he would have to be prepared to face both a blackened Esdeath and a blackened Medea simultaneously.
"Saber, I'll remember this grudge!"
"Yukinoshita Yukino, as Saber's Master, this grudge is on your tab!"
Kisaragi Rin controlled his expression, calming his emotions through other thoughts, sitting as usual.
And after Saber's question fell, the entire room fell into an eerie silence again.
Medusa withdrew her actions, hugging her knees and sitting obediently, always ready to protect her Master if a fight broke out.
Lily didn't even dare to breathe, observing everything and secretly guessing who Kisaragi would choose.
Esdeath and Medea had their gazes intensely locked-on to Kisaragi Rin's face, waiting for Kisaragi to give an answer to this deadly question.
Although they knew Kisaragi Rin was unlikely to abandon either of them directly, if possible, Medea and Esdeath truly wanted to know who Kisaragi Rin would choose between the two of them.
Noticing Kisaragi Rin was a bit silent, Esdeath took Kisaragi Rin's hand and placed it on her chest, her icy blue pupils moving a bit closer.
Although she didn't speak, Kisaragi, feeling the softness, could probably understand Esdeath's meaning.
"It's fine if you don't choose me; I'll defeat them and take you anyway."
As a Berserker class, the restored Esdeath's personality was still a bit crazy, or rather, even if Esdeath hadn't become a Heroic Spirit, according to her performance in Akame ga Kill!, if she wanted to obtain Kisaragi Rin, she would still act against others without hesitation.
Seven seconds of time stop, Esdeath fantasized about having another life-and-death struggle with Kisaragi Rin in a world where only they could move.
Thinking of the morning's battle, the power of Kisaragi's punch that shattered her Noble Phantasm, Esdeath's eyes welled up, and she squeezed Kisaragi's hand even tighter, pressing her ample chest together.
Kisaragi Rin's gaze lingered on Esdeath's face for a moment, then turned to Medea, who was leaning forward, also looking at him intently.
Medea and Esdeath both had blue hair and blue eyes, but there were still some differences; Medea's blue was a bit darker, with a somewhat purplish tint.
Speaking of which, blue is both the color of love and the color of wisdom...
The former is Rem, the latter is Aqua, both are very popular characters.
His thoughts drifted further and further, and Medea was already getting a bit anxious; profound magic was hidden within her body, and if Kisaragi Rin didn't choose her, she would likely blacken directly into a being known as a Witch.
Sighing, Kisaragi Rin looked around at the others, finally Lock-on someone's face, and made his decision.
"I choose Miss Yukinoshita!"
When Kisaragi Rin's words fell, Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been enjoying the show, gradually lost her smile, noticing all eyes turning to her, and asked in surprise, "Huh?"
"That's right, in this situation, I just can't help but express my affection for Miss Yukinoshita!"
Kisaragi Rin said seriously, choosing was impossible, choosing meant instant death, so it was best to detach from the question itself and not be bound by Saber's framework.
The reason Kisaragi Rin chose Yukinoshita Yukino was because he needed someone who could refuse him.
If he chose Lily or Medusa, they might just agree, leaving the situation still difficult and unable to escape this predicament.
Moreover, seeing Yukinoshita Yukino's expression of "I'm happy you're in a pickle," Kisaragi immediately wanted to give Miss Yukinoshita a little counterattack.
Saber, who had been looking at Kisaragi Rin with an encouraging expression, turned her head in disbelief, looking at her Master, Yukinoshita Yukino, with an exclamation mark appearing above her head.
"No wonder Master just tacitly accepted Kisaragi's leadership; so there's this layer of relationship..." Saber thought, taking Kisaragi Rin's words seriously.
"Kisaragi-san, I reject your confession!"
At first, she was a bit astonished, even flustered and unsure what to do, but after seeing Kisaragi Rin's gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino immediately understood Kisaragi's meaning, suppressing the urge to agree, which would be a huge self-inflicted wound despite harming the enemy, Yukinoshita Yukino, filled with anger, gritted her teeth and rejected Kisaragi Rin.
"Miss Yukinoshita's answer truly saddens me; this was my first time confessing proactively..."
Kisaragi Rin shrugged, pulled his hand out of Esdeath's stunned grasp, and immediately walked over to Lily, no longer giving her a chance to approach.
"Can I have the second time?" Lily asked with a giggle.
"Hmm... do you like Lily?"
"I accept!"
"Hey, you guys..."
Esdeath wanted to restart the topic but met Medea's eyes.
That gaze was full of warning.
"Since it's already like this, don't ask anymore, Esdeath!" Medea's voice reached Esdeath's ears through magic.
This private conversation continued, and a moment later, Esdeath glanced at Lily and Medusa, who were huddled beside Kisaragi Rin, her fingers unconsciously clenching, but she truly said nothing more.
"I want the third time." Medusa's flat voice sounded, seemingly joining in the fun.
"Hmm... I like Medusa."
Kisaragi Rin said the same words to her, and Medusa proved her answer with action.
