That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Hall pointed to the ground with a hint of annoyance.

"What."

"earth."

"You want me, the master of this demonic realm, to eat dirt?"

"Servants don't need to eat, and besides, I've provided you with plenty of mana."

"Food in this world is one of the few things I pursue in this world."

"Anyway, don't show yourself yet, or things will only get worse." Hall rubbed his head.

"I see."

What do you want to say?

"This world seems to be a monogamous society. Just now, I unconsciously treated Master as my possession, so did that make Master unhappy?"

"No... let's just consider it this way."

Hall rubbed his temples, his head aching. Although he liked Scáthach's straightforward personality, there was no doubt that such a style of doing things was a destroyer of interpersonal relationships.

······

"I'm full." Matou Sakura put down her chopsticks. "Brother, I have to go to school now. After you finish breakfast, please put the dishes in the sink and let them soak in water. I'll take care of them when I get back tonight."

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll wash it." Hall glanced at Saber, who was still eating next to him. She truly lived up to her nickname of "glutton." Matou Sakura probably knew Saber's appetite, as she prepared large portions of breakfast for her.

Hall followed Matou Sakura away and called out to her in the corridor.

"cherry."

"Brother, is there anything else?"

How are you doing at school?

"Yes."

"That's good. Extend your right hand."

"so?"

Hall took out an exquisite gemstone bracelet from his pocket and tied it on her wrist himself, smiling as he said, "This is a gift I brought back. If you infuse it with magic, it can have all sorts of uses."

"Thank you, I will cherish it." Matou Sakura gazed at the gemstone bracelet and smiled gently.

Before leaving home, Matou Sakura peeked out from the doorway and smiled gently at Hall: "See you tonight, brother."

They may say nice things, but what are they actually like?

Watching Matou Sakura leave, Hall was still a little worried. Hall knew Matou Sakura's personality very well; even without that cruel experience, her essence wouldn't have changed.

"Both sisters have such troublesome personalities," Hall sighed, then said to Saber, who was still eating, as he passed by the kitchen, "Lia, remember to clean up your dishes after you finish eating and put them in the sink."

"it is good."

Hall went up to the second floor, opened his room, and found it still tidy even after several months away, indicating that someone must take care of the room every day.

There was a bed, and on the table were photos of Hall with Matou Sakura, Tohsaka Rin, Irisviel, and Saber, as well as some books and materials related to magic.

This was the first place Hall considered home.

Hall flopped onto the bed, closed his eyes contentedly, and rested for a moment.

Sensing traces of magic nearby, Hall asked without looking up, "What are you doing?"

"nothing."

That being said, when Scáthach came into Hall's view, Hall was stunned.

Scáthach changed into a bunny girl outfit, revealing her stunning figure. Her long, straight legs were covered in black stockings, and her thighs were tied with purple lace ribbons. She changed her cold and aloof demeanor and became more alluring and charming.

Hall almost choked on his breath. Why was the old woman acting so sullenly like a virgin?

"How is it?" Scáthach, dressed in outlandish clothes, circled around in front of Hall.

"Not bad, but why did you change into this outfit?"

"If you like it, consider it an apology for what happened earlier." Scáthach swept her long hair back, leaned forward, and stopped just as she was about to kiss him.

She turned her head to look at the bedroom door.

Knock knock knock~

A rapid knocking sounded, followed by Rin Tohsaka's coquettish yet aggressive voice: "Are you there, Shinji?"

Hall: "..."

Responding quickly, Hall called out, "Wait, don't come in yet."

"what are you doing?"

"Change your clothes."

"Yeah."

Click~

"You think I'd believe that!?" Sensing something was wrong, Rin Tohsaka suddenly pushed open the door and stared blankly at the scene of Scáthach pinning Hall under the bed. The joy of their reunion vanished from her face at a visible speed.

Hall felt a chill run down his spine. Oh no, we're doomed.

Rin Tohsaka's delicate face twitched slightly, and she put on a bright smile, but her eyes showed no joy: "It seems that I came in at the wrong time. Have I disturbed you?"

Hall rubbed his temples: "Just a little bit."

"So...who is she?"

"You impolite little girl, don't you even have basic manners?" Scáthach scolded sternly, very dissatisfied with the girl who had disturbed her interest. If she hadn't known that she was an acquaintance of Hall, she would have ended her life with a single shot.

"I'm so sorry for being so rude." Rin Tohsaka smiled and raised her right hand, making a gun gesture with her fingers. A black magic bullet appeared at her fingertip and she aimed it at Hall.

for real?

Sensing Rin Tohsaka's killing intent, Hall quickly grabbed Scáthach and rolled to the side, where they fell to the ground.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The cursed bullet pierced the mattress, blasting small holes in it.

As Rin Tohsaka fired her cursed bullets, she questioned him in a chilling tone: "Shinji, you'd better give me a satisfactory explanation. Who is she? Why is she in your room? Why is she wearing these clothes? Why were you lying together under the bed just now, as if you were about to do something to betray Sakura!"

"all!"

"Explain this to me clearly!"

"otherwise···"

boom! boom! boom!

Scáthach yawned, resting her chin on her hand, and said, "Since this little girl isn't an enemy, and seems rather difficult to deal with, I'll leave the rest to you, Master."

After she finished speaking, her body instantly vanished as a spirit.

The bombardment of cursed bullets continued. Rin Tohsaka kept saying that she wanted Hall to explain, but in reality, Hall would be shot as soon as he showed his face.

Hall was in a terrible headache. He slammed his right hand on the floor, and the alchemy was activated, sealing the connection between the mansion and the base. All magic was rendered useless.

"hateful!"

Unable to fire the cursed bullet, Rin Tohsaka angrily shouted and snorted as she approached Hall: "Don't think that's all I'm capable of. Martial arts are also the foundation of modern magicians!"

I know that.

A subtle emotion welled up in Hall's heart.

As she approached Hall's location, Hall suddenly kicked Rin Tohsaka's right leg, causing her to lose her balance and fall with a cry of surprise.

Hall caught her steadily, their faces so close they could almost feel each other's breath.

"Have you calmed down yet?"

"Let me go first."

"She is my servant."

"And then? How does it relate to what I just saw?"

"No, that's not true. My relationship with her is pretty much the same as you imagine."

"..."

"Does Sakura know?" Rin Tohsaka took a deep breath.

"I don't know yet."

"I might as well kill you; that way, she won't be so heartbroken."

"Don't forget you were an accomplice too," Hall said with a wicked grin, recalling how Rin Tohsaka had once kissed Hall in another world.

"..."

Rin Tohsaka immediately lost her composure, her face flushed as she hurriedly explained, "That was just...that was just a thank-you gift. It didn't count! It didn't count!"

"Are you going to London?"

"That's right, there's a much wider world there."

"Knowing it's a waste of energy, what can one learn from those half-baked magicians? What's the real reason?"

"It's nothing." Rin Tohsaka turned her face away, her eyes welling up with tears of resentment.

Hall gently wiped away her tears: "Why don't you and Sakura marry me together?"

"Huh?" Rin Tohsaka's face stiffened. "You bastard, it would have been better if you had just killed me! Died a thousand times!"

"Rin, Shinji, what happened?" Saber asked loudly from downstairs, having heard the commotion.

Rin Tohsaka hurriedly replied, "It's nothing, just experimenting with magic and making a little noise. Don't worry about anything."

The red demon's gaze shifted, sharp as a knife piercing Hall's heart. "Sakura and I are one thing, but what about the Servant from earlier, Lia, and the Einzbern family's homunculus?"

"What should I do..." Hall looked away guiltily.

Rin Tohsaka stood up angrily: "Anyway, it's none of my business. I'm going to London and dedicate my life to magic. You can do whatever you want, but you absolutely can't let Sakura know."

Even in modern times, it is not uncommon for magicians to have multiple lovers. Magicians have no morals and will select the offspring with the best magical talent in order to continue their bloodline.
