Ignoring Lily, who seemed harmless in her eyes, Esdeath said thoughtfully, "So, a mere kiss isn't enough to make you give up? Then how about this?"

With that, Esdeath finally released Kisaragi Rin's hand, but her slender fingers reached for a more dangerous place. In front of all the Heroic Spirits, she began to unfasten her belt.

It was as if she was saying that if a kiss wasn't proof enough, then she would take Master right here and now to settle everything.

"Stop it!"

Kisaragi Rin couldn't tolerate it for a second and quickly moved to stop Esdeath's actions. If Esdeath really took off her clothes, not only would Kisaragi Rin be genuinely mortified, but Esdeath would likely completely fall out with Medea, causing the situation to escalate in an unpredictable direction.

Medea: "Shameless!"

Saber: "Disgracing the dignity of a Heroic Spirit!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "...Please, I'm still here!"

Lily: "Ugh… no way…"

Medusa: "Can I take off my blindfold?"

The tense atmosphere vanished, and the room descended into complete chaos.

Kisaragi Rin tightly hugged Esdeath's waist, preventing her from acting. Seeing that Medea was already preparing to cast a spell, showing signs of a fight, he immediately commanded forcefully, "Everyone, stop it!"

As the Master and the center of the incident, Kisaragi Rin's words still held some sway.

The situation calmed down slightly. Kisaragi Rin subtly gestured to Lily to pull Medea back. Lily shrank her head, ran to Medea's side, pulled her hand, and retreated, sitting back down on the sofa.

Kisaragi Rin also forcibly pressed Esdeath onto the sofa. Compared to standing, this would make her actions seem less aggressive, preventing further agitation from the other Heroic Spirits.

Esdeath calmly observed everything, holding Kisaragi Rin's arm in her embrace, nestling close like a small woman.

Meanwhile, Medea had calmed down, constantly constructing event models in her mind through magic—every countermeasure, every outcome of a confrontation…

In the event analysis, all kinds of situations were possible, and the results were infinitely complex. Only one thing remained constant, allowing Medea to determine her strategy.

There's no need to argue with her; I just need to do my part!

First, Kisaragi Rin had women. Yesterday, she hadn't felt anything for Kisaragi, but when she saw those presences in the Workshop, Medea was somewhat pleased.

One, Lily saw Kisaragi Rin's true face, though seeing it was useless…

Two, Kisaragi Rin didn't hide anything but openly told her everything, which made Medea feel a bit of goodwill. She thought that Master was at least not someone who was two-faced.

When the pause ended, looking at Master's wounds and the covering ice and snow, Medea's heart twitched, and her romantic feelings were ignited.

But the time was too short, and Medea still had too many thoughts to process, too many worries weighing her down.

Under these circumstances, before Medea could even think about how to deal with those women, a rational Esdeath stepped forward and launched her first war against her.

After a brief confrontation, when the war was halted by Kisaragi Rin, Medea looked into Master's eyes and, having calmed down, understood one thing.

Kisaragi Rin's attitude as Master towards them!

Esdeath!

Do you know Master won't like women who are too controlling!

Do you know Master is not someone you can command at will!

When you said we were just tools, did you get Master's consent?

When you were the first to stir up trouble, you already lost a point with Master!

"As expected of a Berserker, reason has returned to your soul, but wisdom is not in your brain!"

"How foolish, Esdeath!"

Medea looked at Esdeath beside Kisaragi Rin and smiled, mocking her in her heart.

Regardless, their initial identity was that of Heroic Spirits, and claiming the glory of the Holy Grail was the primary goal.

In this process, Medea only needed to do her own thing, stay by Master's side, and demonstrate her perfection, far surpassing Esdeath. Victory was already an undeniable certainty.

As for the outcome, Medea believed she would be more liked by Master than Esdeath.

"Oh dear, I hope that argument with her just now didn't ruin my impression in Master's heart?"

Medea thought with some distress. Her expression changed too quickly, from initial anger and hostility to thoughtfulness, and now to pleasure and worry.

Lily and Kisaragi Rin watching from the side were genuinely worried she was planning something to kill Esdeath.

Medea no longer wanted to argue, and Esdeath also paused her actions. Just as Kisaragi Rin was about to find something else to defuse the conflict, Saber, who had been sitting quietly and observing the situation, suddenly raised her hand.

"Um, I remember Esdeath just said "Kisaragi-san is her lover.' This means Esdeath likes Chef Master, but it doesn't say Chef Master likes Esdeath, right?"

"So what exactly are you two arguing about? Why don't you just ask Kisaragi Rin who he likes? For something like this, it's only right to ask the person's opinion, isn't it?"

Saber was a woman, her queen Guinevere was also a woman, and her only "son" Mordred was a life created by her sister Morgan using a unique method.

Saber, who had never been in love, naturally couldn't understand the true nature of this incident. She thought Esdeath and Medea were only fighting because they both liked Chef Master. So, Saber very cleverly proposed her solution.

"Chef Master, even though you can no longer offer me delicious food, I will still stand by your side."

Thinking this, Saber gave Kisaragi Rin an encouraging look, genuinely believing that if Kisaragi Rin just made a choice, everything would calm down.

Kisaragi Rin was completely numb, looking at Saber with disbelief.

"My King, you truly don't understand human hearts!"
