Type-Moon: Root Seiko

Luo Zhen tried his best to keep his composure and didn't complain.

Hierel paid no attention to the topic.

In front of Luo Zhen, she untied the knot of her robe and took off one sleeve.

She then revealed her sharp combat suit and a fair arm.

“I must use Fuyuki’s spiritual veins to maintain the suggestion. So as compensation, and as a reward for killing Caster, I want to give you all the Command Seals accumulated by the previous generation, Mr. Rōzen.”

Hiel activated his magic, causing the hidden Command Seals on his arms to appear, turning his shoulders and wrists crimson.

(Don't mess with Hier)

Chapter 85 "The Most Beautiful Woman"

The Command Seals on this arm were retrieved by the previous Director, Risei Kotomine, from the losers of the Third Holy Grail War.

After Kotomine Risei confessed his crimes, he naturally entrusted these Command Seals to his successor.

Luo Zhen wasn't surprised by Hiel's Command Spell, but he still asked, "Is this fair?"

"It's fine that the reward was for taking down Caster, but shouldn't all the Command Seals be given to me alone?"

"Haha~ There's no need for such polite words now."

Hier waved his hand casually:

“I asked the magician who came back in the oxcart. He said he only wants to make a coffin for the professor to send him home and refused my offer to give him a Command Seal. He was quite shocked and seems to be reflecting on his actions.”

"Besides him, all the other Masters are on good terms with you, Ryou, right? The only one who's still a bit controversial is probably the Einzbern princess. If you want to take her Command Seals, then take them yourself, I don't care."

Is this supervisor really up to the task? Luo Zhen has no idea.

He didn't say anything more, only thanked Hier for his generosity.

Hier pressed down on Luo Zhen's arm, silently recited the holy words, and transferred the Command Seals one by one to Luo Zhen's arm.

"..."

During this time, Luo Zhen kept gazing silently at Xier.

To be precise, it was admiring her fair arms.

The smooth lines from shoulders to elbows to wrists, the healthy and beautiful physique... it's simply amazing!

This made Hier feel the heat of his gaze, and he opened one eye:

"What's wrong? Do I look strange?"

"No, it's very beautiful."

Luo Zhen praised earnestly, "I wanted to say this when I saw you shooting arrows before: Hiel, your physique is amazing, your training is like a work of art."

"This body fat percentage, just like that of a long-distance runner, showcases strong and toned muscle lines. Combined with the luster and texture of white jade, it's something you could look at for ages without getting tired of it. And when I think about the effort and sweat you put into building this physique, I find it even more dazzlingly beautiful."

"...Mr. Luo Zhen~?"

Hiel smiled, his eyebrows slightly lowered: "Has anyone ever told you that you have a natural talent for being a gigolo?"

"Orange often says that. And it's precisely because I have this talent that she forced me to try and seduce her sister."

Luo Zhenchao frankly admitted it.

But he also tried to defend himself: "While I wouldn't say I have to live for the moment, I am the type who cherishes the opportunities I have now."

"Beautiful things should be appreciated and praised in time, otherwise it would be a great loss if we missed them."

"Similarly, there are things I want to do, things I want to say, and people I want to love. I don't want to miss any opportunity that I'll regret in the future. If this has bothered you, I apologize; I really just appreciate beauty."

"Mmm~, I'm so happy. Thank you for the compliment."

Hier shook his head, a more pleased smile spreading across his face.

Being praised so refreshingly makes me feel shy, but mostly happy.

"Be able to see the good in others, give them praise without reservation, and recognize their hard work and beauty."

"Luo Zhen, you have the talent of a saint. How about joining the Holy Church? I can be your hunter mentor and take you hunting down murderous apprentices together~?"

"Yes, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Luo Zhen nodded in agreement.

The two chatted tacitly until all the Command Seals had been transferred.

As Luo Zhen left the church, Hierle, who had come to see him off, spoke again:

"The problems in this Holy Grail War are clearly not over yet. I will do everything in my power to prevent innocent people from bleeding again."

"Leave the civilians of Fuyuki City to me; I will take on the responsibility of protecting them."

"I also wish Luo Zhen all the best. If it's convenient for you in the future, please let me come to your house for curry rice again."

"Yes, you're welcome anytime."

Luo Zhen gave Xier a thumbs up.

The two said goodbye at dusk, looking forward to meeting again.

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

And so, the real victory celebration finally arrived!

Today has been too long, and Luo Zhen wants to take a good rest.

There was still a lot of information to exchange, so we talked while we ate.

The Luo family gathered at the dinner table.

Finally, even Irisviel stopped being awkward and came to eat with Lancer again.

While Luo Zhen was busy preparing dishes, the girls were chatting happily, their voices sweet and melodious.

"So, Aunt Orange, when are you going to teach me that amazing magic trick?"

Xiao Lin has become completely attached to Cheng Zi, calling her "Auntie" so happily:

"I want to learn those amazing magic tricks! So I can help Luo Zhen next time... help Luo Zhen really!"

"It's not fair that only Sakura can go fighting with Yuuka-neechan! I can definitely do it too~!"

This kid is such a nuisance... Now Orange knows what it means to have wet hands covered in flour.

With a look of disdain, she turned to Yuzhu and Irisviel for help, only to be blatantly ignored by them.

Orange could only offer a perfunctory reply: "We'll do it when you're a little older."

"What kind of magic can you talk about with such a tiny thing like you? At least grow what's supposed to grow first, like a bead... oh wait, no."

Orange immediately retorted, "Youzhu is the type who will never grow up, even when she does."

"How wonderful, witch. As long as your mindset doesn't age, you'll never grow old. You'll always be a naive teenage girl, how enviable."

"...Why don't we just say it directly?"

Yuzhu put down her teacup and glared back with equally sharp eyes:

"It's only by relying on a doll's body to prolong youth that one seems to be desperately trying and pitiful."

"Orange, you should learn more from Qingzi. Qingzi will probably stay young forever, and she'll still look pretty much the same ten years from now. After all, she's very willful, and her mental age will show up on her body."

"Cheating with magic is even more shameful, okay? Besides, it's not like women can stay young forever... Hey Luo Zhen. Do you prefer a mature, older woman or a skinny, petite girl?"

...Why did the fire end up on him? Luo Zhen couldn't understand it at all.

He placed the hot pot on the portable gas stove, arranged the dishes on plates, and filled the large table, ready to begin eating.

He had originally planned to make curry tonight, but unfortunately, Hier was too busy giving hints in town to come.

When there are many people eating together, hot pot is still the most atmospheric, and Luo Zhen likes it very much.

“...grown up (€€€€€€)”

While Luo Zhen was dealing with Touko and the others, Rin Tohsaka kept pouting, clearly jealous.

Some time ago, she stopped calling him "Brother Luo Zhen" and started consciously addressing him by his given name.

This is a small act of resistance from the girl, hoping to be recognized as an adult as soon as possible.

But the reality is cruel; time moves far too slowly for children.

Especially seeing Luo Zhen shining so brightly, surrounded by such amazing older sisters like Touko and Yuuko... and now there are several more!

Faced with the radiant Canaan and Irisviel, and Kallen who has now successfully separated from Jeanne d'Arc, Rin Tohsaka sensed a major crisis.

Sakura performed much better than me this time, and went to the front line with Ayumi.

He was merely protected by Orange, and did nothing while staying in Fuyuki City...

This made Rin Tohsaka, who had already developed a considerable sense of self-esteem, very anxious, and she desperately wanted to grow up...

"Do you want to be the most powerful and beautiful woman in the world?"

"Do you want to become a dazzling Venus, so captivating that your dream girl can't take her eyes off you?"
