Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

For the sake of the Claire family's long-cherished wish, for the sake of obtaining the Holy Grail, and for the sake of not dragging her beloved Cheng Cheng into the cruel Holy Grail War—she even hardened her heart and refused Cheng Cheng's request to recognize her as his mother!

What is there that we cannot abandon now?

Whenever she thought of Cheng Cheng, Sylvia recalled that evening—as the sun set and the students had long since left school, she saw a boy named Jiahao repeatedly jumping high on the playground, failing, trying again, never giving up.

From then on, Sylvia became interested in Cheng Cheng—and as they spent more time together, she gradually discovered his interesting, kind, resolute, and gentle nature…

Before she knew it, Cheng Cheng had unknowingly become a part of her life.

But now, she has decided to walk the path of a magician—if the Holy Grail can truly grant any wish, she hopes it can fulfill her little love affair.

"Very good, come with me."

Vilette led Sylvia into the basement, up a long stone staircase, and finally to a magic circle.

The ritual for summoning the Lesser Grail.

"Of the seven classes, the strongest and most well-rounded is undoubtedly the Simulated Doll, which is also the most expensive to summon; while the one with the strongest Noble Phantasm effect is the Moulded, which possesses the form of a goddess and therefore has some divinity." Vilette advised, "It is best to summon one of these two classes to have the best chance of winning the Holy Grail War."

"I see."

Sylvia took a deep breath and chanted into the glowing magic circle: "Declare—"

Your body is beneath me; my fate rests on your sword.

He who answers the call of the Holy Grail, who obeys this will and reason, respond to me!

I hereby swear an oath.

I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world, and I am the one who conveys all evil intentions in the world.

"Entangled with your three great incantations for seven days, traversing the wheel of restraint, appear—guardian of Libra!"

The magic circle suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and a biting wind howled and swept in all directions. Amidst the turbulent air currents, Sylvia couldn't help but retreat step by step, holding her breath and concentrating.

Once the gale subsided, at the core of the magic array, a slender figure quietly knelt down.

She was an elfin girl with emerald-black hair and an otherworldly beauty.

She slowly raised her eyes, her emerald green pupils gazing indifferently at Sylvia, her voice ethereal and distant:

"Announcement—"

Job title: Dual channel; Real name: 'Spring Breeze Elf'.

Guided by the Holy Grail, I answered the call and descended into this world.

"So, are you my Master?"

…………

"Tell me, are you my Master?"

Looking at the purple-haired girl kneeling on the bed, Cheng Cheng felt a chill run down his spine and began to question the meaning of life.

The story begins with parting ways with the cuckoo—

After he got home, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought his math homework, so he hurriedly ran back to school. However, just as he finished retrieving his homework and was about to go home, he stumbled upon an unbelievable scene on the empty playground—

Student council president Himegami and Lionheart Club president Freya actually challenged each other to a fight on the playground!

It should be noted that Ji Yushen comes from an ancient royal family and is a descendant of a prestigious family in the capital. She lives in the 0.5 Ring Road and is undoubtedly a top-tier heiress. Freya of the Lionheart Society, on the other hand, is a foreign student who came from afar. She is usually low-key and rarely shows her talents. Her true identity is a princess from an ancient small country in Europe!

These two stunningly beautiful girls were the unattainable white moonlight in the hearts of all the boys in the school, and countless men were infatuated with them, willing to go through fire and water for them.

Almost everyone has fantasized about dating a girl like that, saying they'd be willing to drive luxury cars and live in villas, and that they wouldn't die if they couldn't find one... But Cheng Cheng is different from everyone else.

Both of these stunningly beautiful girls had been confessed to by Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng is a member of the student council and is Ji Yushen's underling. Ji Yushen once publicly announced that he would be the next president. However, because he had confessed to her girlfriend, the student council vice president, senior Haiyin, and the secretary, junior Tongchuxue, she has recently become somewhat wary of him.

Freya, the senior from the Lionheart Society, took great care of her, even arranging for her to go to a fancy restaurant for her former crush... But for some reason, before the confession even started, the girl being confessed to turned pale and refused repeatedly.

Both of these beautiful young women had shared thrilling adventures and deep bonds with Cheng Cheng… Of course, he wouldn't decide which flower to plant so early, and therefore chose a different identity—

Now, Himegami is Cheng Cheng's master, and Freya is Cheng Cheng's mother.

The entire school knew about the discord between the two, and Cheng Cheng had been carefully concealing their relationship, fearing that one of them, so protective of her pet, and the other, so devoted to her son, would fight over who she belonged to...

But it seems that what he feared most has finally happened.

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! You're not going to kill him like this!"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Cheng immediately rushed out to try and break up the fight. But the next second, a scene completely overturned his understanding and shattered all common sense—the void behind Ji Yushen and Freya trembled and twisted at the same time, and two completely different human figures emerged from the void, with solid outlines and overwhelming auras!

"Thread Play, unleash the Noble Phantasm: Frenzied Absorption!"

At Himeko's command, the pink-haired, fox-eared, white-silk-clad shrine maiden behind her transformed into a deep, dark hole, suspended above the playground. Countless crimson, cold threads spread wildly and danced madly from the depths of the hole, possessing a terrifying suction force capable of devouring everything, firmly locking onto the entire playground, as if to swallow everything in heaven and earth into nothingness!

"Jissbon, activate the Treasure Artifact: AI Movie Viewing!"

Freya followed closely behind with a sharp, light shout. The mecha girl behind her suddenly stretched out her body, transforming into a gigantic silver screen that stretched across the sky. The screen swirled, and countless virtual figures stepped out from dimensional rifts, solidifying into physical forms. In an instant, they coalesced into an overwhelming army of infantry and cavalry, some coded, some uncoded, charging fiercely towards the all-consuming black hole with a deafening roar!

The moment the two simultaneously unleashed their Holy Grail Noble Phantasms, the entire reality of the region was completely rewritten and forcibly overturned!

Two extremely violent forces, one black and one silver, collided and fought fiercely in the center of the playground, causing the space to tremble and tear apart, with gales and turbulent currents sweeping in all directions.

The terrifying suction force of the black hole suddenly erupted, instantly lifting the unsuspecting Cheng Cheng into the air and dragging him uncontrollably toward Ji Yushen; at the same time, the powerful shock caused by Freya's thousands of legions charging raged, penetrating his flesh and crushing his limbs and bones, causing his internal organs to shift violently, and a sweet taste rose in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of hot blood!

The excruciating pain and suffocation instantly overwhelmed his consciousness, and Cheng Cheng's vision went black as he fell into a coma.

Only then did the two girls, caught up in the fierce battle, suddenly notice the figure that had appeared out of nowhere on the battlefield.

Freya froze, her fierce battle aura instantly crumbling, and her heart sank: "Damn it! The Holy Grail War is conducted in secret, and anyone who dares to witness it will be... wait!"

Her words trailed off as she saw the face of the person on the ground. Her pupils contracted sharply, and her voice was filled with disbelief, astonishment, and panic: "Son... how could it be you?"

Himeko, standing beside him, was also greatly shocked, her expression changing drastically. She immediately and sternly ordered the silken threads behind her to stop operating the treasure: "Little pet! Didn't I tell you to go back early tonight? What are you doing here!?"

However it was too late.

Even though Himegami and Freya abruptly stopped their Noble Phantasms, the Holy Grail's immense suction and powerful shockwaves had already completely drained Cheng Cheng, a mere mortal, leaving him shriveled and withered.

Life and death do not know!

? Pleasure IF Route: The Lover's Butterfly Dream (Part 2)

The famous physicist Schrödinger once said: "If one's fate is unknown, then one is dead."

Although Cheng Cheng was a sports student with years of experience and a powerful, vigorous spirit, he was ultimately just a mortal. Under the terrifying, surreal suction of the Puppet Show, how could he possibly survive?

"No, why... I, I didn't mean to!"

Ji Yushen staggered over and knelt beside Cheng Cheng's cold, withered body. For the first time, his usually calm and noble eyes were filled with panic and regret, and his fingertips trembled as he dared not touch his body.

Freya, who was standing to the side, had long since abandoned her battle with Himegami and was constantly using healing magic on Cheng Cheng. However, the magic power flowing into his withered body was like a drop of water into the ocean, having no effect whatsoever.

Freya's face gradually paled, and she finally stopped moving, looking at the lifeless Cheng Cheng, letting out a bitter laugh:

"It seems there's only one way..."

She raised the Holy Grail and, without the slightest hesitation, poured all the water in it into Cheng Cheng's mouth!

"Freya! Are you crazy!?"

Ji Yushen exclaimed in shock, "Cheng Cheng is not involved in the Holy Grail War. If he obtains the Holy Water, the entire ritual will be impossible to complete!"

Holy water is the foundation of the Holy Grail War. The seven magicians' struggle for the Holy Grail is essentially a struggle for the holy water within each other's Holy Grail.

Only by collecting seven portions of holy water can the Great Grail be filled and the ultimate omnipotent wish-granting machine obtained!

"So what? A mother saves her child; she doesn't need so many reasons."

Freya looked at Cheng Cheng gently: "The Holy Grail has the power to heal all injuries, Himeko. It seems that I have to withdraw from this Holy Grail War ahead of schedule."

The sweet holy water slowly soaked into Cheng Cheng's withered meridians and flesh, and his shriveled cheeks gradually regained their fullness, and his pale skin regained its color.

However, although Cheng Cheng's body gradually regained its fullness, he remained unconscious.

"Hmph, my little pet doesn't need you to save it!"

Ji Yushen also saw that one dose of holy water was still too little to bring someone back to life, so he snorted coldly and then made the Silk-Pulling Play transform into a holy cup, pouring the holy water into Cheng Cheng's mouth: "With something as inferior as the Silk-Pulling Play, you dare to save my little pet? Let me do it too!"

The Holy Grail War in Tousui City, two of the three starter families: Himeko of the Hime family and Freya of the Kronoma family—

Disqualified as Master, out of the battle!

As night deepened, a cool evening breeze began to blow.

With their last ounce of strength, the two carried the unconscious Cheng Cheng back to his bedroom. Then, unable to hold on any longer, they collapsed onto the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Moonlight filtered through the curtains and fell on the edge of the bed, gently outlining the sleeping faces of the two.

Himeko's usually cold and sharp eyebrows were completely relaxed, her long eyelashes drooped, she was quiet and gentle, and only the softness of a young girl remained in the corners of her eyes; Freya's silver hair was scattered on the pillow, her lips were slightly pursed, and her sleeping face was peaceful and serene.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Cheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

A dull ache throbbed in his head, and fragmented, chaotic memories churned within him—a terrifying force beyond reality, a girl who appeared as if she were a substitute, and the faint echoes of the Holy Grail War…

He moved his fingers, feeling sore and weak all over, but he truly felt that he had survived.

I survived?

Cheng Cheng rubbed his throbbing temples, forced himself to sit up, and carefully pulled the blanket over the two girls. He sat on the edge of the bed, quietly gazing at the deep night outside the window, trying to sort through his chaotic memories.

After a long while, the first light of dawn broke through the darkness of night.

The two people on the bed simultaneously trembled their eyelashes and slowly awoke.

Himeko opened her eyes first and immediately felt a warm body pressed against her waist. Looking down, she realized Freya's sleeping face was inches away, and her ears instantly turned bright red. She pushed her away abruptly.

"What are you doing! Get away from me!"

Freya was also startled awake by the push. She opened her eyes blankly, her cheeks instantly turning red with embarrassment and anger: "You were the one who came closer to me! Himeko, have you no shame?"

"How could I possibly approach you willingly? You were clearly the one deliberately bothering me! It's all your fault!"

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't recklessly activated your Noble Phantasm, how could we have ended up in this state?"

The two had barely woken up when they started arguing, their faces flushed red. Cheng Cheng had no choice but to quickly intervene and break up their bickering:

"Master, Mom. What happened before?"

Himeko and Freya stopped arguing at the same time, looked at each other, and a trace of helplessness and loneliness flashed in their eyes. They both sighed.

Subsequently, the two of them told Cheng Cheng in detail about the origins, rules, and effects of the Holy Grail War.
