"This pervert got off easy. It's all the counter force's fault for molding my body to be so weak."
Kiana curled her lips in displeasure, waving her hand to sweep away the carbonized remains of the insects on the ground to avoid polluting her eyes a second time.
If it weren't for her lack of magical energy to squander, Kiana would definitely not have let Matou Zouken die so painlessly.
After compressing her energy to the extreme, Kiana carried Tohsaka Sakura and left the basement.
While Kiana was grumbling about the counter force as she left the basement, in a certain space independent of the timeline, a loli who looked similar to Kiana, with white skin tattooed with purple patterns, sneezed.
"A-choo—!"
The loli rubbed her small nose, and then her large purple eyes showed a hint of confusion:
"Can the counter force catch a cold too?"
alaya always felt like someone was talking behind her back, but she had no evidence!
Otherwise, as the only primate unconscious collective with a complete self-will among the many worlds of the type-moon, how could she get sick like a human!
alaya thought so with her hands on her hips.
alaya's current loli form was just her energy-saving mode; once her full divinity unfolded, she would evolve into a top-tier young maiden form!
"Better get back to observing the Human Order, lest I accidentally play myself into oblivion..."
alaya let out a yawn, waved out several screens, and began to observe carefully.
When she saw one of the screens, she froze for a moment.
"Why does this person look so much like me?"
alaya reached out and tapped, pulling the screen she was interested in toward her and enlarging it.
She squinted her eyes and stared closely at the white-haired girl in the screen. Except for the eye color and the lack of special markings on her body, they really looked alike.
An alaya from another world?
No, although the other party had a strong divinity, there was no aura of the counter force.
And...
That world seemed to be the one she had just been paying attention to; she had even guided that little Sakura to summon a Servant to save herself.
How did the person summoned look so much like her? She didn't understand...
It couldn't be that by guiding the other party's summoning, she had summoned the version of herself she had casually written into the settings, right?
Come to think of it, it wasn't impossible!
Looking back from the emergence of human history to the present, alaya had incarnated into the human world more than once, leaving behind her own epics.
"But that's not right either. Every time I leave an image, it's identical to my main body. This is definitely not me!"
alaya's eyes shimmered with a faint light as she attempted to check the white-haired girl's information.
Foreigner, Descender...
Holy crap! A Descender?!
alaya sat up straight and pressed her entire face against the screen, her eyes full of fear.
Could this girl be an Outer God who shares the same appearance as me?!
Humanity is in danger!!!
The little loli bit her lip and beat her chest in frustration.
Of course, she was just being playful.
After calming down, alaya dismissed the other screens. She wanted to keep an eye on this Descender. If the other party showed even a hint of being wrong, she would step in herself.
"Oh..."
"Hmm...?"
alaya heard a murmur behind her, turned around to look, and then her eyes sharpened as she delivered an elbow strike to the other's forehead.
The little loli with supple silver-white long hair had her eyes spin in circles and fainted.
"Just a mere Gaia, still trying to wake up and persecute my cute humans? Go back to sleep!"
After elbowing Gaia into unconsciousness, alaya found a comfortable angle and lay down, resting on the other's soft belly.
"This is so comfy..."
Watching the Holy Grail War livestream while lying down, paired with cola and chips...
*Burp~~~*
alaya felt absolutely wonderful.
Of course, if one ignored Gaia, who was serving as her pillow, there would be no sense of incongruity at all.
...
After Kiana left, Matou Zouken's original insect body, hidden somewhere unknown, suddenly trembled a few times.
Shhh—
Countless eerie eyes opened on the insect body whose consciousness had dissipated, emitting an evil aura.
Then, this Crest Worm vibrated its wings and flew into the night sky. Looking at the direction, it seemed to be the Church—
...
The Tohsaka family also completed the Servant summoning ritual.
Tohsaka Tokiomi, the head of the Tohsaka family, knelt on one knee in an extremely humble posture of a subject, one hand over his chest, looking calmly at the golden King before him.
"Tohsaka Tokiomi, head of the Tohsaka family, together with my disciple Kirei Kotomine, welcomes the Hero King' descent to this place—"
"Oh...? To think you could summon this King... Hmph?!"
The Hero King' pupils suddenly shrank. He looked up at the sky outside, his brow furrowing deeply.
Rumble—! Crack—!
Suddenly, there was thunder and lightning outside. A majestic divine aura filled the entire Fuyuki City, causing a look of deep disgust to appear in the Hero King' eyes.
Such a massive divinity...
Which mongrel is it!?
But this celestial anomaly only lasted for a moment before dissipating, and even the aura was completely hidden, making it impossible for the Hero King to trace its source.
"Heh... Hehehe... You've done well. In such an interesting Holy Grail War, this King will not pursue your crime of summoning me without permission, Tokiomi!"
The Hero King, Gilgamesh, glanced indifferently at Tohsaka Tokiomi. This man's attitude was entirely a facade, without a shred of genuine loyalty as a subject.
Instead, it was the other person...
Gilgamesh looked toward Kirei Kotomine, a thick sense of interest showing in his eyes.
This man was far more interesting than the other. If Tokiomi couldn't satisfy him, then this man could be kept as an alternative.
Just then, a familiar aura forced Gilgamesh to cast his gaze elsewhere.
"To think that even you have appeared. This is truly too interesting. Tokiomi, this King is going out for a bit."
After leaving those words, Gilgamesh turned directly into golden motes of light and disappeared from the spot in spirit form.
Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned slightly, looking at the place where Gilgamesh had disappeared, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"Kirei, send Assassin and your familiars to track the Hero King. Ensure that nothing goes wrong with him."
"Yes, Master."
Kirei Kotomine bowed slightly to Tohsaka Tokiomi, then turned and left, leaving behind a deep-thinking Tohsaka Tokiomi.
...
The serial killer Ryuunosuke Uryuu kidnapped several children and brought them to a hiding place in the Fuyuki Forest.
"1~ 2~ 3~ 4~ 5, wow, five little cuties. What way should I use to kill you...?"
Ryuunosuke Uryuu counted the five children, around five years old, whom he had tied up in the car. His movements were slightly exaggerated, and he showed a very troubled expression.
His appearance was just like someone who didn't know what to order for takeout, very conflicted.
"Ah, it's decided! I'll sew all your heads onto one person!"
Ryuunosuke Uryuu clapped his hands, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if he had thought of a great idea.
"Mmph! Mmph...!!"
Hearing this, the five children twisted their bodies frantically, snot and tears flowing uncontrollably, shaking their heads in terror, pleading for him to let them go.
Just as Ryuunosuke Uryuu was about to start, he was suddenly shrouded in a dark shadow.
"Ah...?"
Ryuunosuke Uryuu looked up and found a wolf leaping in front of him.
That wolf seemed to be a mother wolf. At this moment, it was guarding the five children like it was protecting its own cubs.
"Ah... protecting human cubs? It looks like you're a postpartum mother wolf who just lost her cubs!"
Ryuunosuke Uryuu looked at the protective mother wolf and thought of an even better idea.
Swap the wolf's head with a child's head!
