Chapter 331 Departure
Chapter 331 Departure (Combined with the End of Volume)
It's unknown when a Heroic Spirit can get pregnant, but he certainly wouldn't let Saber get pregnant right now.
Ilya is an exception; even though he is overflowing with paternal love, he has no real plans to become a father for the time being.
Anyway, he raised Ilya, Shi Ying, and Kanna as his daughters, so he can just enjoy being a father for now.
However, he still didn't expect Saber to ask such a question.
Why would you ask that?
"Because..." Saber pressed her lower abdomen shyly.
"Cough cough, don't worry, you won't get pregnant."
Shichen glanced at Saber's lower abdomen; even without basic equipment to cover it, it was actually quite clean.
It's unclear whether Saber was originally without any problems, or whether it was because she became a Heroic Spirit.
"Why?" Saber couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not planning to become a father that soon, and I already have Ilya."
"I see... So what happens next?"
"I definitely will in the future." Shi Chen looked up at her, amused. "What, you can't wait to be a mother?"
"Um... I... I'm just curious... what it's like to be a mother." Saber's face was flushed, a stark contrast to her usual serious personality.
This is the epitome of unexpected cuteness.
After becoming a woman, it seems that she thinks about things differently than before.
"You can ask Alice about this; she has experience."
"That's true."
"Let's get dressed first, Ilya and the others must be getting impatient."
Shichen helped Saber put on all her clothes, including the basic equipment, and then used cleaning magic to clean the tent and remove the scent from her body before leaving the tent with her.
Ilya and the others couldn't wait any longer. Together with Frilian, they stood around the pot, eagerly waiting.
My mouth is watering.
"Daddy, I'm so hungry!"
"Really? Then let's eat."
"Very good!"
"Saber... how are you?" Irisviel asked worriedly as Saber approached.
"Huh? Ah, I'm fine." Saber smiled and shook her head.
"Is that so...?" Irisviel stared at Saber's face and didn't notice anything bad, but she did notice something else.
Although Saber looked nervous, she was exceptionally beautiful today, with smooth and radiant skin and an added touch of allure in her eyes.
She's clearly only fifteen or sixteen years old, so how come she looks so radiant and beautiful?
Just like her that day.
Ok?
Thinking of this, Irisviel began to doubt a certain possibility and looked at the time.
But naturally, you can't tell anything from him.
"Alice, what's wrong?" Saber looked at her curiously.
"It's okay... Let's eat, you must be very hungry."
9
"Yeah, I'm pretty hungry."
After breakfast... no, I should say lunch, and after packing up our things, Shichen took everyone back to the hotel.
The Holy Grail War is over; we can wrap it up now.
I have to say, the Gate of Babylon is really useful. You can put a whole bunch of things in directly without having to pack them up or carry them back.
The Gate of Babylon is definitely an essential item for any monk's journey.
Back at the hotel, Frillie went straight to her bedroom without saying a word. Although camping had been quite nice these past few days, it still couldn't compare to the comfort of a big bed with soft blankets.
Shi Chen had intended to expose her to modern things and corrupt her, but he didn't expect her to fall into corruption so quickly.
I no longer cultivate magic power.
Fortunately, he is there. Frilian is now his "familiar," and he can transfer his magic power to her.
His magic is boundless, surpassing anything Frilian could achieve even after tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
I just don't know if this is one of the reasons that led to her downfall.
"Then I'll go back to my room too," Saber said.
"Huh? What are you doing back in your room?" Irisviel asked. "I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm still a little sleepy. I'm planning to sleep a little longer."
Whether the heroic spirit sleeps or not is irrelevant, but after struggling with Shichen for so long last night, I really want to sleep.
"I didn't sleep well last night..." Irisviel blinked.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, go to sleep."
"Okay." Saber glanced at the time and went back to her room.
"And what about us?" Irisviel asked Shichen.
Do you want to sleep too?
"No need, I slept very well last night, but I'd like to take a shower."
These past few days, I have brought them back to bathe, but it's just a regular bath; they can't even take a proper soak.
Now that she's back, this idea has only grown stronger. And coincidentally, she also has something she wants to ask about the auspicious time.
"Then go wash it, I won't stop you."
"You and I are together."
"Huh?" Shi Chen looked at her in disbelief.
"What? You don't want to?"
"Of course I'm willing."
"Let's go then." Irisviel took Shichen's hand and walked towards the bathroom.
Shi Chen turned to Ilya and Shi Ying and said, "Then you two play a game for a while."
"Okay, Dad and Mom, take your time soaking."
"Brother, we won't bother you."
Shi Chen had a feeling that the two little girls seemed to know quite a lot, but he hoped it was just his imagination.
The two are still so young; they shouldn't be so precocious.
Upon entering the bathroom, Irisviel didn't say much and immediately began to undress.
The two had been taking baths together every day and had long been completely open with each other, not to mention that they had already gotten married.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Shi Chen was still a little surprised.
"I haven't taken a bath in ages... Please help me unbutton these."
"good.:
With a snap, Irisviel's basic equipment came loose.
She wasn't shy at all; she turned around, faced the time, and took off her clothes.
Shichen suddenly had a craving for cherry cake.
Irisviel could feel Shichen's burning gaze, but since she hadn't bathed yet, she couldn't satisfy him.
Help me up.
"Um."
Holding onto the clock, Irisviel raised her right leg and removed her basic white equipment.
After putting her equipment away, she headed towards the pool, saying, "I'll go first, hurry up."
Looking at Irisviel's fair and beautiful back, Shi Chen blinked and quickly took off his clothes before catching up with her.
Irisviel was already in the pool, and the steam rising from the surface couldn't hide her snow-white skin at all.
The hour slowly entered the pool beside her.
As he leaned against the pool, Irisviel moved closer to him and sat in his lap.
He looked up at her slender, smooth waist.
The two soaked in the water quietly for a while before Irisviel finally asked, "Did you... eat Saber?"
"You noticed?" Shi Chen didn't deny it.
"I've been there, after all."
"That amazing?"
"Go to hell!"
"Hehe~" Shichen said, and began to move his hands upward.
Irisviel let out a soft moan and nestled completely into his arms: "Saber seems quite happy?"
"Is there?" Shi Chen moved his five fingers.
"I can still tell... Hmm, how did you do that?"
"That's just how it is."
"You've really got what you wanted, haven't you?"
"Are you jealous?"
"How could that be? But you wouldn't abandon me now that you have Saber, would you?" Irisviel turned her head and looked at him nervously.
"How could that be?" Shi Chen smiled and lowered his head to kiss her.
"Mmm." Irisviel turned around, nestled in Shichen's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and responded passionately.
Soon, the pool began to churn with waves, one after another, the sound of rushing water echoing throughout the bathroom, and amidst the surging waves, pleasant singing could be heard.
Those outside couldn't hear a thing; a barrier had been set up when Shichen came in.
After a long, long time, the waves gradually disappeared, the singing ceased, and the pool returned to calm, though the water level had dropped considerably.
Irisviel remained in Shichen's arms, holding him tightly, unwilling to leave him.
Shi Chen also had his arms around her lower back, his smooth and delicate skin making him unable to put it down, and his eyes were already bloodshot.
He buried his head in Irisviel's neck and said in a low voice, "Irisviel, there's something I'm going to do next."
"Just bear with it."
"Hmm...::::," she replied weakly with her eyes closed.
Then Shichen's fangs grew out and pierced her neck, causing blood to spill out and flow onto her snow-white, translucent skin.
"Ugh...:.:" Irisviel winced in pain, but quickly relaxed.
Aside from the slight pain when her neck was pierced, she was immediately overwhelmed by a deep, pleasurable sensation, like arousal, which intoxicated her.
He only tasted it briefly; the blood of the artificial life form was like a meticulously crafted work of art—it tasted good, but it didn't suit his palate.
He began to imbue Irisviel with magic, turning her into a familiar.
Irisviel has always been very concerned about her identity as an artificial life form; if she were to become a familiar, she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
However, the timing wasn't just for that purpose; Irisviel also possessed the Lesser Grail within her body.
If there is a Lesser Grail, there must also be a Greater Grail.
The Holy Grail is not actually a physical object, but a massive magical array—the Grail System—constructed by the three founding families: the Tohsaka family, the Einzbern family, and the Matou family.
The Greater Grail Array incorporates the magic styles of the three factions, along with the Command Seals and Servant systems, thus forming the starting point of the Holy Grail War.
The Greater Grail is the core of the entire Holy Grail War. It is hidden underground in Fuyuki City, drawing on the magical energy of the town. When the magical energy reaches a certain level, the Greater Grail will initiate the Holy Grail War and communicate with Valhalla.
The seven magicians who participate in the Holy Grail War can summon Heroic Spirits.
The Lesser Grail was also created through intervention by the three starter families.
Constructing a Lesser Grail from a human body is undeniably cruel; Irisviel is a Lesser Grail constructed by the Einzbern family.
The purpose of the Lesser Grail is to absorb the souls of defeated Heroic Spirits, ultimately connecting the other side of the world at the end of the Holy Grail War.
It draws in immense magical power from the other side of the world.
Under that boundless magic, people can use the Holy Grail to fulfill all sorts of wishes.
After completely assimilating Irisviel into a familiar and absorbing it into his body, two golden objects appeared in Tokichi's hands. One of them was a cup made of gold.
The Lesser Grail!
In his other hand was a scabbard covered in gold and adorned with blue, the scabbard of Excalibur—Avalon, a distant paradise that could heal the wielder's wounds and halt aging.
This scabbard has always been inside Irisviel's body.
After all, she was an artificial life form, and Shi Chen was really worried about her. It would be bad if something unexpected happened to her.
He put the sword sheath into the King's Treasury and then examined the Holy Grail.
The immense and vast magic within it aroused Shi Chen's greed, but the lingering evil thoughts within it restrained him from his greed.
Just sensing the evil intent within it caused him to have bad thoughts—for example, about Ilya and Shi Ying outside.
He didn't dare to imagine what he would become if he actually came into contact with her.
No need to worry, do whatever you want, sounds pretty good, but that's not the person he likes, that's not him anymore.
Shi Chen tried to purify the evil thoughts within him and found that it had some effect, but only some effect; he found that it could not eradicate them completely.
It seems I'll have to ask Aqua for help.
His purification spells were ineffective, but Aqua used divine power, which was far superior to magic.
Shenliyao...: It was only at this moment that Shichen realized that magic power was not enough in quantity, it also needed to have quality.
"Time? Where am I?" At this moment, Irisviel, who had been reforged by magic and regained consciousness, spoke.
She had just been through a lot and was almost falling asleep.
"You're awake." Shichen also put the Lesser Grail into the Gate of Babylon.
"Hmm...where is this...Why is Ho-Oh here too? And who is that girl?"
"Hehe~ You're inside me now," Shi Chen replied with a smile.
"Inside your body?" Irisviel asked in surprise.
"You should be able to sense what's happening around me, right?"
"Still in the bath...:::: I'm really inside you, how did you do that? Amazing!" Irisviel exclaimed.
Just consider this one of my abilities.
"Okay... So who is that girl?" Irisviel looked at the girl who seemed to be wrapped in purplish-black feathers, and the clothes formed by the feathers were quite revealing.
"Her name is Yatogami Tenka, and she's in a similar situation to you, and also similar to Illya."
"What does 'similar to Illya' mean by 'Yatogami Tenka...:::'?"
"She is my daughter too."
"Who's your daughter?!" Yatogami Tenka couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't that right?" Shi Chen retorted.
"That's not true at all!"
"Aili, Tianxiang is just going through a rebellious phase, you don't need to worry about her."
"Get out! Who's going through a rebellious phase? And why did you let a naked woman in here?"
"!" Irisviel then realized that she was not wearing anything.
She was still quite embarrassed in front of a young girl.
"I'm sorry..."
"Forget it, it's all this guy's fault. Just imagine the clothes yourself, and you'll be fine."
"Really?" Irisviel briefly imagined what she would look like in a white coat, and it actually appeared on her.
"How amazing!"
"Hehe~ Alice, you can use magic to construct things from now on," Shichen said.
"Really? That's amazing!"
"You're celebrating too soon."
"Um?"
"You are no longer an artificial life form, but a real body formed from magic."
"Really? Is it true?" Esther could naturally sense the difference in her current state, and she was somewhat incredulous.
Would I lie to you?
"That's wonderful!" Esther cried tears of joy.
"From now on, you no longer need to worry about being an artificial life form."
"Uh-huh!"
"Sigh, I didn't care at first, you're really overthinking it."
"I really care about this..."
"Alright... are you coming out?"
"Let me out." Esther glanced at Yatogami Tenka and nodded to her.
Yatogami Tenka did not respond.
Time was on when Eisfield was released, and she fell into the pool as she dressed.
"Ah!" She realized what was happening, took off her clothes, and was back to being naked.
"Shichen!" Eisfield excitedly threw herself into Shichen's arms.
"So happy?"
"Mmm." Esther nodded vigorously, then kissed him.
Shichen naturally wouldn't refuse, holding her tightly in her arms and responding.
Soon, the pool began to surge again, followed by the familiar music.
Having just recovered, Eisfield only wanted to express her joy in this primal way.
He was strong and healthy at that time, and had no fear whatsoever.
As soon as the order was given, the sound of the waves grew louder and louder, and after the pool was stained with a splash of red, it began to ripple wildly.
Because the scabbard was still in Ai Wusfiel's body, she could recover from any injury.
The previous battle was...
But after this, she couldn't recover. The scabbard was no longer in her body. It wasn't a problem, and Shichen wasn't the kind of person who liked to see blood every day.
After a wave of splashing, Eisfield was exhausted again and fell asleep in Shichen's arms.
The main problem is mental exhaustion.
The pool water had completely cooled down. Shi Chen picked up Ivy Sfield, dried the clothes off her body, and took her back to the bedroom.
Since Illya and the others weren't there, Shichen put Irisviel on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then slipped away to Saber's room.
"Shichen, what are you doing...? Where are your clothes?" Saber had already woken up. She was still reminiscing about what happened last night when Shichen suddenly appeared naked.
"Don't worry about it, you've seen it before," Shi Chen said nonchalantly.
"I...I still mind...::::" Saber wanted to turn her head away, but then she wanted to see him again. He ignored her and took out the small Holy Grail: "This is the Holy Grail. You should be able to feel the evil within it, right?"
"The Holy Grail...:::" Saber shifted her attention to the Holy Grail, her brows furrowing.
She immediately sensed the malice within, which chilled her to the bone.
"I would never lie to you." Shi Chen sat down by the bed.
"Um."
Saber already trusted him: "What do you plan to do with the Holy Grail?"
"Find someone to purify her."
"Is there anyone who can purify this?"
"It doesn't exist in this world, but it does in other worlds."
"Other worlds... Shichen, you mentioned before that you came to this world... What exactly does that mean?"
"It's simple, I'm not from this world."
"Huh?"
There was nothing to hide from Saber, so he told her everything.
Saber completely believed him.
"So, are you willing to keep tormenting me, Artoria?"
"I do!" Artoria said firmly.
Not only Artoria, but also Illya and the others, Tokiomi also plans to take them with her, as they are not suitable to stay here.
The Holy Grail War was over. He didn't care about those who hadn't died and was too lazy to look for them; he'd been in this world for a while already.
He should go back.
Before leaving, Shichen took Shiying to Tokiomi Tohsaka's funeral so that she could say goodbye to her mother and sister.
Although Tokiomi Tohsaka is a beast, Toki should indeed say goodbye to him and end this father-daughter relationship completely.
After all, that guy is already dead.
Shizha's mother wanted her to stay, but Xiao Xitou had no intention of leaving Shichen at all.
After the funeral of Tokiomi Tohsaka, Tokiomi led everyone to conquer this world.
