"You dare talk back, you Dangerous Beast?! Bad girls get punished! Like this! And THIS! Spanking time! This is what bad girls get!"
"Ah! Senpai! Please be gentler... Auh!"
"Listen to that satisfying smack! An ass this round deserves a good spanking!"
"I... I will not yield! I won't yield, so... Auh!"
"Vlad-san... allow me to call you Master!" Romani cried out through the comms.
"Romani...?" Olga Marie's voice turned lethal.
"The town has come into view. Once we pass through it, we should reach Csejte Castle," Gilgamesh noted, raising a hand to block the sun.
I wonder who's waiting for us! I can't wait!
(I hope it's a beauty. No thanks to Blackbeard or the Mental Pollution squad.)
"?" Arcueid blinked, looking down at the creature in her arms. "Fou, who are you talking to?"
(My destined person, whom you currently lack the eyes to see.)
Enjoying the pleasant stroll, the party finally arrived before the grand gates of Csejte Castle—only to find a single Servant standing ready to receive them.
"Good evening. What a wonderful night for such a lovely group of costumed guests. Please, enjoy tonight's Halloween to your heart's content."
Voluptuous curves wrapped in radiant orange and yellow attire. A woman who embodied both seductive glamour and brilliant elegance—a master of espionage...
"Mata Hari... The legendary spy equated with the archetype of the Femme Fatale," the King murmured, sniffing the air as he instantly saw through her True Name.
Mata Hari. The legendary intelligence operative said to possess the 'Eye of the Sun.' Utilizing her matchless beauty and exquisite espionage techniques, she had played countless generals around her finger—a woman whose name was carved deep into history.
Legend had it that during her execution, she was blindfolded simply so the firing squad wouldn't be seduced by her beauty. She was the literal incarnation of loveliness.
"Ugh...!!"
Rikka dropped to her knees, collapsing onto the cobblestones. Mash rushed to her side in a panic.
"What's wrong, Senpai?!"
"I've lost..." Rikka groaned, clutching her stomach. "As a fellow XX-chromosome organism... I have already lost to that woman on every conceptual level...!"
"Please do not give up! Senpai, you definitely beat that wonderful person in one aspect!"
"I-If that's not meant as encouragement... then what on earth is it?!"
"Brute force!"
Thump!
Rikka delivered a soft yet heavy jab straight into Mash's stomach.
"Hauh!" Mash doubled over, curling up as the slow, dull pain washed over her.
Oh my! They've reached the point where they express affection through physical comedy!
(Is that a comedy routine poke?!)
"Honestly. Playing around like children."
"Sometimes, the truth enrages people far more than outrageous lies... Remember that, Eggplant Junior..." Rikka wheezed, wiping her brow.
"I-I am so sorry... Hauh..."
"Not that I really care! Take a rest, Eggplant Junior. I'll handle this with Jeanne and—"
"Hold up, hold up! Let me do it! Please let me try!" Arcueid cut in, waving her arms wildly.
"Arcue-neesan?"
"I wanna do a Servant battle, too! Rikka, be my Master!"
"Eh, are you sure?"
"Of course! I can do this easy-peasy~!"
Arcueid tauntingly motioned with her hands, beckoning her opponent forward. Mata Hari chuckled softly at the display.
"Well then, I look forward to working with you. Yo-heave-ho..."
Wh...
"WHAT THE—?!"
"Mata Hari... Ah, right, of course she's stripping..."
As Mata Hari casually began shedding her clothes right then and there, the entire party stood frozen in utter speechlessness.
"Ho... If that is the game, I too have a word or two to say on the matter," Gilgamesh stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Though it would be a bit of a waste in a place like this."
Phew...! Wait, no! King! She might cast a Charm spell on you! Close your eyes! Close them! Ea panicked, desperately digging through her inventory for an Anti-Enchantment item.
"I see how it is," Arcueid declared, her eyes narrowing in fierce competition. "I'm not losing."
(Huh?)
"Wait—"
Seeing Mata Hari's move, Arcueid made her play—
"As the Ultimate One, I'm supposed to be slightly stronger than my opponent! Which means in this situation..."
She reached for her own clothes!
"—I just have to take off ONE MORE LAYER than her!"
With a swift tug, Arcueid tossed aside her skirt and top, standing there in her undergarments.
(WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YOU IDIOT—!!!!?)
Is this... how women fight...?! Ea gasped in awe.
"Woah... Arcue-neesan has an incredible figure..."
"M-Mashuuu..."
"My, my. If that's the kind of battle you want...!"
Mata Hari began stripping off even more layers.
"As a Servant, I'll take off one more layer than you, too!"
Arcueid reached back, her hands on her bra strap, ready to unhook it.
"STOP! STOOOOOP!!" Romani screamed at the top of his lungs over the comms. "ANY MORE THAN THIS IS HORRIBLE FOR RIKKA-KUN AND MASH'S EDUCATION!!"
Gilgamesh looked at the monitor, genuinely perplexed. "Why stop them? Are you even a man?"
"Oh?"
"I already took it off, though."
It was already too late. Stripped down to nothing but their panties, the two beauties stood proudly, covering their chests with their hands. Arcueid was already placing her thumbs on the waistband of her panties—
(HAVE SOME HESITATION! HAVE A LITTLE HESITATION, YOU TRUE ANCESTOR!!)
"Eh? Is this not how Servant battles work?"
"IT IS NOT! I'm placing a mosaic filter over the feed right now, so please get dressed immediately!"
"Mmm. This is tough..."
So this... is a battle stripped of all pretenses...!! Ea stared in absolute wonder at the duel of female pride.
"What a waste for such a squalid location," Gilgamesh lamented, shaking his head. "If this were upon my heavenly throne, I, the King, could have used the scent of ripe women as a delicacy to thoroughly indulge in downfall..."
"What is this glorious sight?! THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
"Romani-sama really is a boy after all... ♥ If you'd like, I could do this for you every day..."
"BLESSING UPON THE DOCTORRRR!!"
"Meuniere..."
"She didn't faint, I see. As expected, it lacks the raw impact of my own naked form. Fuhahahahaha!!"
"So this is... female power..."
"Senpai—?!"
"Nice fight! That was super fun!"
"Likewise. That was a truly magnificent strip performance."
Arcueid and Mata Hari exchanged a firm, respectful handshake, and the party was warmly allowed to pass through the gates.
