Knowing this isn't very useful, after all, these Skills can't determine the flow of battle.
Kisaragi Rin casually spent 500 Paradise Coins to upgrade Skill - Leader's charisma to Lv5, increasing his charisma by 5 points. He planned to find suitable materials before upgrading the remaining levels.
After dividing the spoils, Yukinoshita Yukino, walking beside Kisaragi Rin, suddenly cracked a smile.
"...What are you smiling about?"
Kisaragi Rin asked curiously. His intuition told him that Yukinoshita Yukino's smile was directed at him.
"Nothing."
Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, and the ahoge on top of her head wobbled along.
Thinking of Kisaragi Rin's performance when opening the loot box, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly realized that there were things Kisaragi wasn't good at. She had thought that as long as it involved the paradise, Kisaragi Rin could be Omnipotent and Omniscient in everything.
"Riddlers get out of Gotham."
Kisaragi Rin flicked Yukinoshita Yukino's ahoge from behind. He himself didn't act like a Riddler; how dare a mere Yukinoshita Yukino do so.
Covering the top of her head and warning Kisaragi Rin with her eyes not to touch it again, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke in a motherly tone, "You're saying those strange things I don't understand again."
Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino joked around as they entered the living room. Shinomiya Kaguya was still sitting there, holding a cup of cold coffee.
"Damn bug, how can she act so intimately without realizing it..."
Shinomiya Kaguya's icy gaze locked onto Yukinoshita Yukino, mentally slicing her into a thousand pieces.
Besides characteristics like being an Ice Sculpture, cute, having self-respect, and keeping promises, Shinomiya Kaguya also had many bad habits, such as jealousy. As long as someone was an enemy, Shinomiya Kaguya would curse them endlessly in her mind.
Such an intense gaze successfully caught Yukinoshita Yukino's attention. Under Mind's Eye, Shinomiya Kaguya's hostility was so obvious.
Yukinoshita Yukino was not someone to be trifled with. She glanced at Kisaragi Rin, decisively abandoned the option of engaging in intimate acts with him, and asked directly, "Miss Shinomiya, as the loser, shouldn't you settle the game sooner?"
She was the winner, and Shinomiya Kaguya was the loser.
With such a direct statement, Yukinoshita Yukino believed Shinomiya Kaguya could feel her edge.
"I don't need you to remind me. Once Hayasaka Ai's Command Seals are transferred to Kisaragi, we will leave."
Shinomiya Kaguya said calmly, implying that she was defeated by Kisaragi Rin, not by Yukinoshita Yukino, and that Yukinoshita Yukino was not qualified to speak like that.
"Hmph."
Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly laughed. She stopped speaking and quickly left the living room.
"Weak bug."
Shinomiya Kaguya cursed internally.
Just as she thought Yukinoshita Yukino had chosen to leave because she was speechless after her retort, Yukinoshita Yukino reappeared.
The difference was that she was pulling Lily.
"Lily, go give Lord Kisaragi a kiss."
Yukinoshita Yukino said with a smile.
It was unclear what she and Lily had discussed, but a blush appeared on Lily's cute face. After giving Shinomiya Kaguya a shy smile, she obediently walked up to the observing Kisaragi.
"Master, kiss."
The now-adult Lily said "softly," then "secretly" glanced at Shinomiya Kaguya.
Kisaragi Rin: "..."
The sound of lips parting rang out. For the first time, Yukinoshita Yukino thought this sound was so wonderful.
As for Shinomiya Kaguya, if Hayasaka Ai hadn't held her shoulder from behind, she would have lost her composure as a young lady.
"They really do have that kind of relationship."
"Relax, Kaguya. Servants cannot leave this world."
"I can't relax even a little!"
"A kiss, that's already in the realm of first experiences! How can they do that right in front of me... Wahh..."
Shinomiya Kaguya was slightly broken.
"Weak bug."
Yukinoshita Yukino sat calmly on the sofa, genuinely unable to take Shinomiya Kaguya seriously.
After all, once Shinomiya Kaguya discovered how many other intimate relationships Kisaragi Rin had, she would realize how pure her relationship with Kisaragi Rin was.
On the other hand.
She merely found the other person slightly disagreeable; it wasn't yet at the point where she felt compelled to force the other party to leave.
Before this game ended, any conflicts had to be put aside first.
Hmm... What Shinomiya Kaguya said earlier about leaving after handing the Dragon Ball to Kisaragi Rin was just for show.
She knew clearly that settling the game after Soichiro Kuzuki died would result in a higher rating.
Moreover, if Shinomiya Kaguya left, the [Time Zero] and [Lock-on] effects on Gilgamesh would disappear, and he would immediately revert to that lawless Gilgamesh.
Kisaragi Rin would invite her to stay; this was Shinomiya Kaguya's confidence.
Lily only gave a kiss and didn't do anything more excessive.
Kisaragi Rin picked the girl up and placed her beside him, asking, "Has Medea found any trace of Emiya Shirou or Soichiro Kuzuki?"
"Eh... I don't know."
Lily said sheepishly; she hadn't paid attention to the matter at all.
Kisaragi Rin: "..."
Forget it. For Lily, being able to unleash her Noble Phantasm during battle was already impressive enough... After a short while, Kisaragi Rin's other Servants arrived. Whatever they had discussed, the atmosphere between them had calmed down considerably.
"Emiya Shirou's location has probably been found."
Medea used Magecraft to display the full map of Fuyuki City and marked a location on it.
"He is the host body of the Corrupted Holy Grail and possesses the characteristic of being immune to all magic. Even the Mystic Eyes combined with Nakime's Single Eye couldn't observe his existence. However, conversely, the place in Fuyuki City that cannot be observed by Detection Magecraft is his location."
"Master, shall we fight?"
Medea inquired.
Kisaragi Rin was analyzing the pros and cons of moving against Emiya Shirou immediately.
Having fought two battles in a row, their magical energy and mental state were no longer optimal.
Furthermore, Esdeath's [Mahapadma] had already used up its opportunity for the day.
But the enemy was in the same boat; Emiya Shirou had lost four Servants and was severely injured. If they waited until tomorrow, the Corrupted Holy Grail might undergo some kind of mutation.
Most importantly, they couldn't allow Soichiro Kuzuki and Emiya Shirou to become entangled.
Soichiro Kuzuki's level was so high. If he discovered Emiya Shirou and gained some understanding of this world view, who knows what they might coordinate and pull off together.
Therefore, end this game immediately!
Kisaragi Rin made up his mind.
"Shinomiya, if possible, please stay until after this battle is over."
