"Assassin's poison is a bit strange. It's probably his Noble Phantasm. Unless he's killed, it'll be hard to completely remove the negative effects he's caused."
With a beauty in her arms, Akatsuki had no intention of making any extra moves. The Assassin summoned by Neco Arc was far too bizarre; Akatsuki always found herself unable to use her full strength when facing him.
"Is it really because of the 'Anti-True Ancestor' trait?"
"Whatever about that! The important thing is, that 'the greater grail has been corrupted' thing you mentioned is just too hard to believe!"
Tohsaka Rin, who had some of her blood sucked by Akatsuki, was slumped in Akatsuki's arms. She already had low blood pressure and oversleeping was common for her; now, having been drained to the point of anemia by Akatsuki, she lacked the strength to resist even if she wanted to.
"Instead of resisting only to fail and be forcibly used as a body pillow, I might as well just give up."
Those were Tohsaka Rin's exact words.
To be honest, Akatsuki felt a bit disappointed seeing Tohsaka Rin compromise. Rin's reactions were so entertaining that one could never tire of them. However, Akatsuki wasn't about to pass up this chance to snuggle with a beauty, which led to the current scene.
"I can't help it if you don't believe me. If the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City hadn't been corrupted, the Caster of the Fifth Holy Grail War wouldn't have been Medea. To this day, I still don't know which unlucky bastards ended up in the same Holy Grail War as Solomon."
"Wait, did you just say Caster's true name? Medea? The Age of Gods Magician Medea, who dismembered her own brother and killed her children, known as the Witch of Betrayal?!"
Akatsuki stroked Tohsaka Rin's twin-tails and said in an unusually calm tone, "Don't get too excited. You're a bit anemic right now..."
"Wait! Don't just touch my head, you're messing up my hair!" Tohsaka Rin offered a token resistance before giving up the struggle. "I didn't expect you to have any use besides chasing women! I'm impressed!"
"Rin, that was so rude! I'm royalty among the True Ancestors, after all. Why do I feel like my image in your mind is that of some perverted lecher?"
Akatsuki was a bit puzzled. Her overwhelming power surely shouldn't give off that kind of vibe, though she didn't want to deny the "pervert" part.
"Shirou! I'm home!"
Just then, accompanied by a burst of cheerful laughter, the door was suddenly slid open. A young woman walked in. She didn't seem to notice Akatsuki and Tohsaka Rin flirting and dived straight into the kotatsu.
"Oh, Ms. Fujimura, shouldn't you be at the hospital for a check-up right now?"
Tohsaka Rin looked in surprise at the energetic Taiga Fujimura. Rider's Noble Phantasm had drained the life force of many people at school; those affected should have needed at least a few days of rest to fully recover. Yet, Taiga Fujimura was acting like nothing had happened in the blink of an eye!
"Ah, you mean the mass fainting incident at school today? Oh, the doctor said I'm perfectly healthy... Wait, Tohsaka, why are you here!? And who are you?"
At that moment, Akatsuki let go of Tohsaka Rin and took Taiga Fujimura's hand instead.
"Hello, I'm Rin and Sakura's lover!"
"What?! You! You! You! You and Tohsaka and Sakura!?"
"Wait! Don't talk nonsense!"
For a moment, the room was in chaos. Taiga Fujimura looked at Tohsaka Rin and Akatsuki in disbelief, her gaze darting between the two before she finally retreated silently back into the kotatsu.
"As a teacher, I advocate for freedom in love, but you, Tohsaka, and Sakura are all girls after all... and they're students... this... that..."
"In short! As your teacher, I won't allow it!"
Seeing Akatsuki enjoying herself, Tohsaka Rin's eye twitched. She wanted to explain something but ended up just watching Akatsuki in silence.
Taiga Fujimura stared blankly at Akatsuki, completely unable to accept this fact. "No! Absolutely not! They are both my students, and you're all girls, how can this be..."
"Love knows no gender!" Akatsuki said seriously.
"That's enough."
Unable to watch any longer, Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but remind Akatsuki, "Even though she's a teacher who imparts knowledge, she's still quite naive in some aspects. Don't tell her such nonsensical things."
It took Tohsaka Rin a while to explain everything clearly to Taiga Fujimura.
"So you're also here looking for Kiritsugu?"
"Yes. From certain perspectives, Kiritsugu Emiya gave me quite a shock."
For instance, a certain Father's Day and Mother's Day, or him shooting Illya and strangling the Irisviel that Little Angra had turned into—all of these had been a huge shock to the Akatsuki of that time.
"Just like Saber, here for Kiritsugu... Wait, why are you here, Tohsaka?"
"Fuyuki City hasn't been very peaceful lately. As a woman living alone, I have to be mindful of my own safety, so I thought Sakura and I could stay at the Emiya Residence for a while."
"No!"
As soon as Tohsaka Rin finished, she was sternly rejected by Taiga Fujimura. "As your teacher, it's my duty to ensure the purity of interactions between students!"
"I can guarantee that, since I'm serious about both Rin and Sakura."
Tohsaka Rin ignored Akatsuki's words. She propped herself up on the table and smiled at Taiga Fujimura. "Well then, Ms. Fujimura, you can try to convince me. If you do, I'll give up on staying at the Emiya Residence. Otherwise, you have to agree to let Sakura and me stay here."
"Oh~?" Taiga Fujimura looked at Tohsaka Rin with surprise, a smile soon appearing on her face. "Are you sure you want to challenge me, your teacher?"
"Of course."
A few minutes later.
"Waaaah, waaaah, waaaah..."
Taiga Fujimura was utterly defeated!
"Waaaah... To think I lost to my own student... I'm a complete failure as a teacher... waaaah..."
Shirou Emiya looked awkwardly at Taiga Fujimura, who was "crying" face-down on the kotatsu. Tohsaka Rin was calmly drinking tea nearby, while Akatsuki had shifted her attention from Tohsaka Rin to Matou Sakura.
"Fuji-nee, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a little debate with Rin. By the way, Classmate Emiya, let's discuss the matter regarding Assassin after the meal."
At the mention of this, Shirou Emiya nodded solemnly. Then, he looked awkwardly at Akatsuki, who was using Matou Sakura as a body pillow.
"Hmm? What is it?"
Matou Sakura blushed so hard she didn't dare look up, while Akatsuki was enjoying the wonderful sensation of the E-cup.
"It's so comfortable. This sense of acceptance and softness is truly immersive..."
"Wait, don't..." Matou Sakura's face turned even redder. Her voice was smaller than a mosquito's, but it made Akatsuki feel a little restless.
