National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

Artoria interrupted Wu Yue, slamming her hand on the table in anger!

"And what exactly is this War of National Destiny?! Isn't it just a competition between nations deliberately arranged for your own selfish desires? What is your purpose in doing this?! Before, you made Emiya Shirou fall in love with Wu Yue! Now you're making Wu Yue fall in love with someone else?! Do you know the consequences of your actions?! Have you considered how others feel?!"

Lufas looked at Artoria, blinked, and finally stretched out his hands.

—Slap—Slap—

After two taps, the next second, time, space, the entire planet, and the entire universe were all caught in the cracks of time, and time was given its approval.

"Artoria! Hey! What did you do to..."

"Calm down, calm down. I just paused time, Artoria is fine."

Wu Yue looked at Rufus with a wary expression...

"What Artoria wants to ask is also what I want to ask: what is the point of what you are doing? I know you really want to know what's inside me, but does that have anything to do with me trying to seduce someone? The same thing happened with Shirou Emiya. The most crucial thing is that I myself don't even know what's inside me."

"Sit down first and listen to me. I've figured out a little bit about what's inside your body."

Wu Yue stared blankly at Rufus, then looked at Artoria.

Lufas looked somewhat helpless, then reached out and patted it again.

Time resumed its flow, and Artoria remained in the same position as before, standing up, slamming her hand on the table, and glaring angrily at Lufas.

Suddenly I sensed something was wrong...

Huh? When did Wu Yue stand up? I didn't sense it at all...

what happened?

"Artoria, sit down and calm down. Don't ask anything yet. Let Rufus finish explaining."

Artoria looked at Wu Yue, her tone very serious. She gritted her teeth and sat back down in her original seat with a displeased expression.

"Since it was Wu Yue who made the request, I will comply, but I still care a lot about it."

Rufus rubbed his forehead helplessly and continued speaking.

“Wu Yue, how should I put it… it’s a powerful imaginary force similar to causality and the changes in the world. The system within your body is the medium for this force, a kind of catalyst. Through the system, it draws out the imaginary force within you. It’s quite interesting.”

"So... my abilities up to this point, Excalibur... Gate of Babylon, water magic, Imperial Arms... are abilities I originally possessed?"

"Yes, it's your innate ability to imagine. Isn't it fascinating to conceive of this ability through imagination? That's certainly true in the current situation. What we want to understand now is where this ability came from and what its ultimate limit is."

"Ah...that's it..."

Wu Yue stroked his chin, deep in thought...

Artoria blinked, completely bewildered by what Wu Yue and Rufus were talking about.

"In short, I want to observe you secretly as usual during the upcoming war of national destiny, and thoroughly figure out what exactly is inside you. I'm very curious."

"So... this means I have to go and seduce other people, but I already have... Is it really necessary to do this? Can I refuse?"

Rufus shook his head.

"This is a very important exchange that cannot be removed, and you have no right to refuse, because I have already decided on the war of national destiny, which will begin in 3 days. However, you will be forcibly teleported to another world, which is the world of Fate/Zero."

"What?!"

"What?!"

Wu Yue and Artoria spoke in unison!

"However, I can make an exception and allow you to go with Artoria~"

"Hey! These are two different things! If you really have to participate in the national war, I'd like to ask you something! Your mission is to 'conquer' a character, not a man, is it?!"

"Wu Yue! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Artoria pointed angrily at Wu Yue! She was furious at Wu Yue's words, but couldn't find any rebuttal! She was both anxious and angry!

"Of course it's a woman, and she'll be an extremely surprising woman. Once you two actually meet her, you'll understand what a real surprise is."

For some reason, Rufus looked at Artoria with an indescribable expression on his face.

"Oh right, and this too. Weren't you going to use your summoning ability to summon Muzan, the one you've mentally modified in the Demon Slayer world, tonight?"

As Rufus spoke, a crack appeared in the void beside the restaurant, growing louder and louder with the sound of shattering glass...

—Click—Click—Click—

Through the cracked opening, on the other side, a woman was looking in surprise. Upon seeing Wu Yue, her face immediately lit up with joy!

"Owner!"

Muzan was sitting at the table, drinking tea. Upon seeing Wu Yue, he immediately stood up and slightly lifted his kimono to increase his speed.

He jogged towards Wu Yue.

Chapter 210 I suggest we redo all the food! Let's talk in the room tonight!

An exceptionally beautiful, petite woman rushed through the rift between the two worlds.

He jogged.

Eager.

A look of anticipation on their faces.

She immediately threw herself into Wu Yue's arms, tightly hugging his waist, and looked carefully at the blonde woman in front of her, her face full of happiness like a kitten.

Wu Yue panicked instantly, looked at Artoria, and tried to pull Muzan away.

Artoria was stunned by the scene... completely speechless...

"Varied……?!"

Artoria looked at Wu Yue, took a deep breath, and then walked behind Muzan.

"--ah!--"

They forcefully pulled Muzan away from Wu Yue.

Muzan rubbed his aching shoulder and turned around to find a woman who looked almost exactly like his master except for her face glaring at him, which puzzled him.

"Excuse me, is there something you need? I'm very busy, and disturbing my hug with my master is a very serious matter."

"What did you say?!"

Artoria glared angrily at Wu Yue, her eyes filled with questioning, resentment, anger, unwillingness, humiliation, and incomprehension.

"Artoria, listen to me! Don't be angry! I will definitely explain everything to you tonight! I will tell you the whole story! Believe me!"

Artoria didn't answer immediately, but just stared at Wu Yue quietly for a long time.

Lufas, standing to the side, was secretly covering her mouth and laughing, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

In the end, she didn't say anything. She just found her angry appearance ridiculous and silently returned to her seat, lowering her head.

On the other side of the rift, Tanjiro, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke also appeared there.

The three of them were carrying various daily necessities and food, and they were all startled when they saw the crack!

"What is this?! Is it some kind of blood demon magic?! Interesting!"

Wearing a boar's headgear, Inosuke asked in his extremely rough voice.

"I don't think so. There should only be two demons left in the world: Tamayo and Yushiro. By the way, where did Muzan go?"

Tanjiro said, while also looking at the spatial rift.

"Hey... don't get too close... it might be dangerous... hey... Tanjiro... Inosuke..."

Zenitsu Agatsuma spoke tremblingly from behind the two of them.

Then Inosuke suddenly noticed something! He immediately threw down the blankets he was holding and pointed excitedly at the other side of the crack!

Wu Yue also saw Inosuke!

The two stared at each other!

"Ah! It's that woman named Woyue! Hey! Are you trapped?! Wait for me to rescue you! Watch me charge in like a pig!"

Inosuke, full of energy, charged towards Wu Yue with his boar head mask on! Wu Yue was about to say something!

Rufus waved his hand, and the rift passage was instantly closed...

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lufas, who stretched and yawned.

"Haa~ No loitering~ Alright, this summoning ability is the same as before, it lasts for a week. Now that I've finished talking about my business, I'll be leaving now. The National Destiny War will start at 11 PM three days from now, with no time limit... The rules are too complicated to explain here, you can watch TV, it will be written on TV."

After saying that, Rufus snapped his fingers, and with a series of clicks, spatial rifts reappeared in the void.

Rufus picked up a piece of bread and stepped into the crack. The next second, the crack disappeared on the spot.

The surrounding space gradually quieted down... Only three people remained in the living room...

Artoria, with her head down, looked at Wu Yue, who was looking at Artoria, and Muzan, who was looking at Wu Yue.

Wu Can's little face was flushed, and she looked at Wu Yue with an expectant and longing expression.

Wu Yue sighed, then placed his hand on Muzan's little head and gently rubbed it.

"Very good~ Muzan did the right thing. Be a good boy and wait for me to take you home~"

"Uh-huh!"
