Type-Moon: Root Seiko

Orange, wearing a loose-fitting bathrobe and waiting for the man to unpack it, stared at the three men and women with twitching eyes.

Luo Zhen was still busy replenishing Kuang Xinzi's mana by simultaneously fast-charging both the upper and lower ports, so he didn't have time to answer her.

"Don't be angry, Orange Sister~" Canaan said with a soft, lazy, and mischievous smile.

She enjoyed resting her head on Luo Zhen's back, acting as a weight for his weight training.

"Let's all fill up Luo Zhen's place and keep him firmly in place, otherwise he'll be snatched away by another woman~€€"

"...You have such a good personality." Orange snorted.

These origins suggest that each person might have a different personality.

He was thinking of casting a wide net, hoping that a few of them would catch Luo Zhen's eye.

"Then I've already lost..." The veins on Orange's forehead throbbed.

But what can you do? You really have to keep him under control.

"Wait, I'll go call Yuzhu and that idiot saintess."

We absolutely cannot lose to this traitor at the root of all evil. Orange is determined to paint Luo Zhen in her own colors!

(The root cause of this moment)

Chapter 108 Artoria, Why Have You Reverted to Being a Woman?

After personally testing it, Luo Zhen learned it.

No matter how much effort was put in, the sun would not turn green.

That's clearly a huge lime, how could it be green? Impossible, impossible.

After all, only orange hair will turn green, and it's so tiring to dye it again every two weeks.

"What are you reminiscing about?" Artoria tilted her head curiously.

The voice of his beloved Knight King enveloped Luo Zhen, making him feel completely better.

“I’m thinking about the future,” Luo Zhen replied earnestly, “and world peace, resource consumption, the future of humanity, and so on.”

"It's truly magnificent." Artoria couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of doting affection in her eyes.

This made Luo Zhen want to call her "Mom"... Genyuan, take a good look, this is what a real mother is like.

At this moment, Luo Zhen and Artoria were already standing outside the second magic accumulation point.

This is the very center of the new capital, where the Fuyuki Civic Center is still under construction.

This is a reinforced concrete building with four floors above ground and one floor below ground. At its core is a double-height concert hall that can accommodate 1,300 audience members.

As a pioneering building to welcome the new millennium, its style is quite retro, with the solemnity of an ancient temple.

This style naturally suited Tokiomi Tohsaka's tastes, as he, as the administrator of Fuyuki, had always been behind the scenes controlling the city's development.

Fortunately, he knew that urban planning and design should be left to professionals, so that he wouldn't end up with a modern ruin that doesn't even have electrical outlets, even though it's almost the 21st century.

Luo Zhen and Artoria have now arrived at the underground parking lot of this building, waiting for Orange's doll to excavate the entrance to the spirit vein.

During this idle waiting time, Luo Zhen took out the thermos he brought from home, poured out some freshly brewed coffee, and handed it to Artoria.

The Knight King's sister thanked her softly and sipped her steaming beverage.

"..." Luo Zhen admired it just like that.

Artoria doesn't mind modern attire; she's currently wearing a pale yellow long dress and a white ruffled blouse that she just changed into, with a light shawl with tassels draped over her shoulders.

This outfit is mature, beautiful, and suits her well.

...She really is a wealthy lady.

Since it wasn't appropriate to say it like that, Luo Zhen kept it to himself and enjoyed it alone.

"Is everything going smoothly with Orange and the others?" Artoria asked.

“No problem, Ishtar and the others are watching.” Luo Zhen pointed to the sky.

Ishtar is still flying around everywhere, and even Rozen, who supplies her with magic, can feel the fuel costs skyrocketing.

Now that Luo Zhen's spiritual veins have replenished their magic, the heroic spirits can finally move out without any worries.

Considering that the current situation could not be delayed for too long, the group, who had acted recklessly last night, got up this morning and, despite their aching backs and legs (actually, only Orange and Yuzhu were in pain), began to make arrangements.

Based on yesterday's experience, if everything goes smoothly, one day should be enough to tackle both siltation points.

However, Luo Zhen must be present to conquer the stagnant points, as he needs to seize control of the spiritual veins and absorb the pollution.

Therefore, Orange chose to start construction on both sides one after the other.

While sending Luo Zhen to conquer the area, they concentrated their forces to protect a few humans and prevent any accidents from happening.

After discussion, Luo Zhen believed that he and Artoria were capable of handling any enemy, so he sent the other Servants to protect Orange and the others.

"It's so wonderful that the goddess is willing to help." Artoria smiled as she thought about it.

"I'm so glad I can make you happy too," Luo Zhen said cooperatively.

To make Ishtar obedient, Rozen showered her with sweet talk and took her on a shopping spree in an empty mall while the orange doll was digging a hole.

Artoria's clothes were changed at that time, making Irisviel as excited as a little girl playing with a dress-up doll for the first time.

Ishtar loves consumption, beauty, luxury, and everything else that fits the stereotypical image of a goddess.

As the spirit body that inspired her, Rin grew up to be a great beauty.

She tried on unlimited new clothes in the store, which satisfied her needs perfectly.

Artoria, the Knight King, was much more unassuming.

She listened to Irisviel the whole time, changing whatever she was told to change.

Adjusting one's mindset is also part of war, and Artoria clearly understands this as preparation for war.

There's nothing wrong with that.

In this environment where the puppet construction team is digging holes with all their might, Ryougi and Artoria gradually become one with each other, and get into the zone.

"Let's double-check the plan," Luo Zhen said. "We can definitely win against most Heroic Spirits if the two of us go together."

"If we encounter any of the special circumstances we anticipate, we'll need your help, Artoria."

"Hmm." The Knight King extended his hand.

Luo Zhen grasped that delicate yet firm hand, feeling the surging magical energy flowing between them.

Artoria has formed a contract with Rozen and become his Heroic Spirit.

This is to ensure that Artoria has enough mana to ensure that she can perform far better than before when necessary.

Meanwhile, the remaining magic power of "Rhinegold" is still stored within Artoria's body.

That would become her one-time resource, serving as a safeguard against the enemy.

"Alright, let's go." Luo Zhen looked at the poor dolls who had reassembled into a spiral drill gazing at the stars.

Luo Zhen guarantees that Orange really likes this way of playing.

The dolls stared blankly at the sky, their mouths agape, as their companions threw them into the bottomless pit they had dug, smashing the next layer of earth.

Luo Zhen and Artoria exchanged a glance and took a step forward.

As they changed into their battle gear, they leaped into the cave together.

The coffee was still warm when they returned and drank it all.

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

Artoria recalled Rozen's speculations at the battle council that morning.

"Several Heroic Spirits in this Holy Grail War were intentionally guided to deviate from the pan-human history."

As Luo Zhen spoke, he pointed to the useless goddess next to him who was just eating rice without doing anything.

Following Ishtar's descent, Fuyuki City was quickly sealed off and became a singularity.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

Ishtar received Tokiomi Tohsaka's summons request and then glimpsed Rozen in this world, which is why she forcibly intervened in this world as a goddess spirit.

However, this behavior itself led to Fuyuki's singularity.

"That's not what I meant at all!" the useless goddess puffed out her cheeks. "I just thought this world was dangerous enough, so I wanted to grab you and run away as soon as possible!"

"Yes, they took advantage of your idea." Luo Zhen looked at her pitifully.

This world was already like a teetering fruit extending from the branches of human history.

Ishtar, this heavy goddess spirit, became the final, crucial element that caused the fruit to fall.

This caused the world to fall out of the pan-human history and be identified as a singularity.

But aside from the fact that Ishtar is indeed very heavy and has a large buttocks.

More importantly, the world itself was already teetering on the brink of collapse, and Ishtar was merely the last camel to be tricked into joining.
