Type-Moon: Root Seiko

Author: July Rain and Snow

Summary:

[A pure love harem, the king of lovers. He's 18, just started university, and is afraid of physical incompatibility.]

"Root" is the beginning and end of all things, the opening from which all phenomena and concepts flow, and the ultimate knowledge.

But that's definitely not a suitable place to settle down. Luo Zhen, who was imprisoned by his yandere mother for millions of years, swears this is a true story.

Therefore, after coming into the world, Luo Zhen must protect this precious and fleeting moment.

What could possibly lead to a Holy Grail War that severs humanity's will? A self-proclaimed King Solomon who wants to burn humanity's will, an alien god who wants to whitewash humanity's will, and a twisted magician who wants to replace a planet...?

Do you understand human love?

You just love blindly and recklessly. Can you even match the love I, as a human being, have?

I want to leave behind a pan-human history (that suits my taste), a history for my sake!

Chapter 1 The Man Who Became the Grand Puppeteer

Luo Zhen woke up in the early morning on the clean white hotel bed.

The air in the room was a bit dry, and the air blown out of the air conditioner in winter always had a certain smell, I don’t know if it was the smell of burning dust or something else.

"I shouldn't have slept with the air conditioning on," Luo Zhen thought with a hint of disgust.

He tried to reach for the remote control on the bedside table, but the heavy object on his arm stopped him.

Luo Zhen looked down... and what caught his eye, besides the fair and beautiful soft jade, was a head of red hair that had just been touched up yesterday.

He personally helped me dye it yesterday.

After washing it once and sleeping on it overnight, the color did indeed fade a bit, and it wasn't quite the color that the aunties and grandmas liked the most.

My skills are just that good.

With a touch of smugness, Luo Zhen lowered his head and touched his lover Aozaki Touko's forehead, searching for her lips.

"...Ugh~"

Orange, awakened by Luo Zhen's kiss, opened her eyes from her hazy tranquility, her gaze gradually focusing.

She frowned her beautiful brows, grabbed Luo Zhen's cheek, and pushed him away: "I've told you so many times, don't kiss me first thing in the morning."

"At least not until after I brush my teeth. I even smoked a cigarette before bed, don't you find that disgusting?"

Luo Zhen: "It's okay. Orange-sensei, who doesn't want the memory of our kiss to be overshadowed by the smell of smoke, is very cute."

Luo Zhenshi's incredibly awkward pride and girlish heart are just too wonderful; she absolutely adores them.

Grand Puppeteer Aozaki Touko, a genius who reconstructed the rune base of the Age of Gods, sealed away the designated escapee.

And the Fifth Mage's sister, Crimson of Pain.

He liked all of these identities, especially the one of "his lover".

As a result, Orange looked disgusted on the surface, but in fact she didn't even have the strength to leave a red mark. She cuddled with her younger boyfriend for a while before getting up.

The two of them took a morning shower together, and brushed their teeth in front of the mirror one after the other.

Standing in front of the mirror, Orange held a toothbrush in one hand and couldn't help but twirl a strand of her newly dyed hair with the other: "I still think it's too bright; the color should be darker."

"Highlights make you look younger."

Luo Zhen calmly replied, "Teacher Chengzi, you're still young and capable. Don't give yourself the impression of being mature so early... even though your body is quite mature."

"Huh? You've got the wrong word 'mature'!"

Orange raised her eyebrows with a murderous look on her face and nudged the man next to her with her elbow.

Indeed, the color that the man strongly recommended yesterday does appear quite bright now, after a night of adjustment.

Compared to the deep red I used to dye my hair, this color now looks more like a flame shooting out of a lighter, making me want to eat a whole orange just looking at it.

Moreover, she felt that the color looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

...Yes, yes, just like that annoying little girl.

The color was the same as when his younger sister, Aozaki Aoko, used the Fifth Method to beat him up and punched him in the stomach, almost damaging his organs.

"You brat. You didn't dye my hair this color just to use me as a substitute for Aoko, did you?"

"Oops, we've been exposed?"

Luo Zhen, who tried to ease the tension between the sisters, was immediately ruthlessly crushed by her lover and used as a tool to manipulate others.

-------------------------------------

Luo Zhen is a time traveler who has been in this world for quite some time.

He came into this world with the spirit origin of a heroic spirit, but something went wrong and he has been sleeping like a piece of amber for decades.

He was unable to come to the outside world; his consciousness could only flow within the amber, as if he were sealed within the spirit origin of a heroic spirit.

Five years ago, Touko Aozaki unearthed him and brought him into the world as a Heroic Spirit.

Having found this treasure, Aozaki Touko began to have Ryouma serve as her research assistant. In return, Ryouma began to take care of her daily needs and meals.

As their relationship deepened over time, Luo Zhen not only took care of her daily life but also gradually extended his care to her deeper needs, naturally leading to a romantic relationship.

...But honestly, looking back now, why did it turn out this way?

Luo Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Miss Orange, what do you like about me?"

"...?"

Orange gave him a speechless look that said, "What's with all the fuss about a grown man?" and decisively ignored the topic, continuing to put on her pantyhose in front of Luo Zhen.

It was as if human language was no longer worthy of speaking to her man, and even the runic script she was skilled in seemed too frivolous.

There's nothing that can be done then. Luo Zhen will just have to accept that she loves everything about him.

It just so happens that what I love about her is everything; it's a match made in heaven.

It's precisely because Luo Zhen also likes Orange's awkward personality that...

So over the past few years, he has gone to great lengths to ease the tension between her and her younger sister.

This at least prevented the sisters from completely breaking up; at least they maintained a relationship where they could sit down and have a meal together.

Although he sacrificed a great deal in the process, and was almost left in the mansion as a pillow by the witch in love forever.

But looking back now, it was all worth it, making Luo Zhen feel that he had accomplished a feat no less significant than saving the history of humankind.

After getting dressed, Luo Zhen and Chengzi went to the rooftop of the port hotel.

"The spiritual vein construction is quite good."

Amidst the howling wind on the high-rise buildings, where her coat fluttered, Orange poured magic into her magic eye, overlooking the entire city:

"Judging from this orderly arrangement, the manager of this land is a mediocre person who follows the rules, and probably has some boring aristocratic sense of duty."

Fuyuki City is not very large.

However, due to its unique topography of being nestled between mountains and the sea, the land has abundant magical energy, making it a rare treasure.

Moreover, Luo Zhen could also see that the buildings in this city were constructed and arranged according to the earth's veins, with buildings with special functions placed at various key points.

Those shops along the way must have received some kind of mystical protection, spared from disasters and misfortunes, ensuring their businesses continued to thrive.

If the landowners of this land then collect rent from their operations, it is indeed like the relationship between a lord and a tenant farmer, and Orange's assessment is entirely correct.

"That's just the kind of people the Tohsaka family are."

Luo Zhen said with certainty: "Although they have a family history of being unreliable, the Tohsaka family has been a model of diligence for generations of magicians. Moreover, they have two lovely daughters, so they are definitely the most suitable partners to work with."

"You really don't hide anything, do you? A friend of young girls (€€€€€€)"

Is this man's honesty a virtue or a vice?

Orange took his hand and placed it on her waist as a heater to ward off the cold wind from the high-rise building.

It is now winter of 1993, just after the New Year.

According to Luo Zhen's mysterious information, Orange learned that a secret ritual called the Holy Grail War was about to be held on this land.

Seven groups of magicians and the heroic spirits they summoned fought against each other, causing the spirits' souls to return to the Holy Grail to fill with magic power, creating a colossal magic block that could grant almost any wish.

It is even said that, according to its original purpose, if all seven Heroic Spirits were to return to the Holy Grail normally, the complete Holy Grail could open a passage to the Root.

This, as always, is another lazy shortcut devised by magicians who seek the root of things, utterly ridiculous.

The thought that she was one of them not long ago (almost ten years ago) made Orange feel very ashamed, and she really wanted to forget this dark history.

"...Hey, your hand."
