The Steve Rogers did not expect Kisaragi Rin to deal with the Starving Ghost so quickly.
Originally, if the two bodies continued to develop, they would have been able to bear the power of two evil gods descending.
But now, that was no longer possible.
When the Ghost Domain dissipated, it was obvious that Kisaragi Rin would arrive soon.
To obtain enough bloodline to bear the [Tail-Devourer], devouring each other was the only choice.
When the bloodlines merged.
When the true name of the evil god was spoken by Yuusuke.
The sky changed for the third time!
The dark blue Ghost Domain had just receded, and the false light had barely appeared for a moment when, with a gaze descending through Steve Rogers' body, the sky over Fuyuki City became as viscous as blood.
And at the moment the sky changed color again, Kisaragi Rin and the others also looked up.
Although the dark red sky was not as sinister and terrifying as the Starving Ghost's Ghost Domain, the oppressive feeling over Fuyuki City had not diminished in the slightest.
"The sky has turned red again..."
Gilgamesh murmured softly.
For this city, which had gone through so many twists and turns, she really felt like complaining.
Kisaragi Rin was instructing Medea to cover the outside of the golden box with several more layers of locks. Not long after the Starving Ghost was sealed inside the gold, strange noises came from within, indicating that the Starving Ghost had recovered from its frozen state.
After securing the outside of the gold, allowing the Starving Ghost to only continuously collide with the gold inside, Kisaragi Rin sent it into the Workshop.
Looking at the sky, Kisaragi Rin also sighed, "What a disaster-ridden Fuyuki City."
Just then, Saber's stomach suddenly rumbled.
Grumble~
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Saber's embarrassed ahoge stood on end, and she said apologetically, "Master, I'm hungry."
After four consecutive battles, although Saber felt she had been slacking off a bit, she was still very tired.
"It's not that you're hungry; there's a divinity in the sky radiating throughout Fuyuki City."
Shinomiya Kaguya said calmly; just by looking at the sky, a feeling of hunger awakened within her body.
"No, Saber is really hungry."
Kisaragi Rin retorted inwardly.
Their hunger might have been influenced by the anomaly caused by Soichiro Kuzuki, but Saber's hunger was because she was already hungry.
Saber's keen Intuition detected Kisaragi's slander. She looked at the other four Heroic Spirits and still wanted to end this battle sooner.
"Kisaragi-san, there's only one enemy left."
"I know, I'm waiting for him to come."
Kisaragi Rin replied to Saber.
This Holy Grail War finally had only this last enemy remaining.
After defeating Soichiro Kuzuki today, he could wake up in his apartment's big bed tomorrow.
Kisaragi Rin didn't know which evil god Soichiro Kuzuki had contacted, but he also felt an abnormality, though it wasn't that strong yet, only reaching the level of hunger one would feel after not eating for a day.
"Hunger, appetite... What kind of power would an evil god with this divinity possess?"
As Kisaragi Rin pondered for a moment, a figure also arrived at the edge of the battlefield.
Hmm... the edge.
The spot where he stopped was at least a thousand meters away from Kisaragi Rin; at this distance, even sound propagation would take two seconds.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Yuusuke."
He said calmly.
Since the Paradise had many special methods of killing enemies through their true names, hiding one's true name was a necessary action in the game. However, at this moment, he no longer used the names Soichiro Kuzuki or Steve Rogers to disguise himself as before. Yuusuke simply spoke his real name.
After all, nothing else mattered now.
When the Paradise arranged a restricted world, limiting all his abilities, Yuusuke figured that killing an Lv3 was an easy task. Besides being a little surprised, he didn't feel much else.
Even when Kisaragi Rin had the Ability to plunder Heroic Spirits and he himself had given Esdeath to him, Yuusuke didn't think he would lose, because his foundation was not something a Heroic Spirit with Time Stop could resist.
And now, his long-prepared [Starving Ghost] was resolved so easily.
Yuusuke admitted that he had finally broken down.
Now, he had no other thoughts: either kill Kisaragi Rin here, or be killed by Kisaragi Rin here, ending this pursuit that felt like a joke.
"Yuusuke?"
Hearing him say his name, Kisaragi Rin smiled and asked, "Oh, why aren't you using that Human Torch face anymore?"
Yuusuke: "..."
He didn't grasp Kisaragi's meaning; he just felt that being continuously suppressed and put at a disadvantage in front of such an enemy was increasingly humiliating.
"I admit I've lost."
Yuusuke suddenly said.
"It was just a Kibutsuji Muzan; I shouldn't have dropped my guard and casually come to pursue him."
Even now, Yuusuke still felt inexplicably confused about this point.
He had only come to the Paradise to kill someone, and he had done it many times before, so why had he fallen into this predicament?
But it was all meaningless now. Yuusuke was certain that if he had to do it again, he would still casually use the pursuit Item.
The [Tail-Devourer] in his bloodline had begun to urge him on. Yuusuke ignored it and continued, "By the way, the 'liking Kibutsuji Muzan' was just an excuse the Captain made up at the time. The real reason is that I thought Kibutsuji Muzan was very suitable to be brought out as the host for the Starving Ghost."
"Hmm... You know that demons from that world cannot affect gold, so you must understand how special Kibutsuji Muzan's individual being is."
"In fact, I don't know."
Kisaragi Rin replied inwardly. Hearing Yuusuke say this, he also wondered what was so special about Kibutsuji Muzan?
Yuusuke was talking about the individual, not the bloodline, meaning he was referring to the specialty of "Kibutsuji Muzan, who possessed the Demon King Bloodline."
A scoundrel who could become a Demon King just by drinking some medicine?
No matter how special, Kibutsuji Muzan had already been broken down into materials by the Workshop. Seeing that Yuusuke was not in a hurry to fight, Kisaragi Rin was also happy to ask his curious question: "How did you get the Starving Ghost?"
"About that, it's nothing much. The Trial Mission I undertook to become a player randomly took me to that world. The Trial Mission given by the Paradise was to escape a middle school, and I accidentally encountered the Starving Ghost which had just completed its Ghost Revival. Then I became its new owner."
Though he said it was nothing, Yuusuke couldn't suppress his smugness.
