Seeing this opportune moment, Marx and Engels gently released Nero.
However, contrary to Marne's expectations that she would run away shyly, Miss Nero asked with slight disappointment, "That's it?"
Is this all the compensation you're talking about?
I could do something like that myself with a sneak attack!
unhappy!
Seeing Nero pouting and glaring at him angrily, Maren remained silent, steeling his resolve, and lowered his head.
He kissed her forehead.
"Is this okay?"
"Hmm, it's still a bit short, but I'll let you off this time."
As Nero said this, he took two steps back, his expression one of satisfaction, but his heart was filled with complex emotions.
She's conflicted right now, unsure whether to feel disappointed or happy.
She felt somewhat disappointed that Ma En had rejected her again, but at the same time, she was happy that Ma En had stayed true to himself, because this made Ma En seem even more outstanding and more attractive to her.
But this only made things harder for her.
"Well then, goodnight, musician."
With mixed feelings, Nero said goodbye and left the room.
The current situation in the Holy Grail War is beyond her expectations, and she doesn't want to cause Marne too much trouble during this time.
""
Looking at all this, for some reason, Ma En suddenly felt like a terrible person.
Even though the other party gave everything they could without reservation, I was just taking advantage of their efforts without ever giving anything in return.
Isn't this the behavior of a complete scumbag who takes advantage of a girl's feelings?
"But on the other side..." Thinking about it, Ma En thought of his wife again and couldn't help but scratch his head in frustration.
"Ugh! This question is so difficult! No matter which option I choose, it's wrong..."
If he rejected Nero, then he's a scumbag who exploits other people's feelings.
If he accepts Nero, then he's also a cheating scumbag.
Both men are scumbags, and neither is the outcome Ma En wanted. Choosing either one would be against his conscience.
Ugh! So annoying!
"Why did this damn 'social gathering' have to pick someone like me who already has a fiancée?!"
Frustrated by this problem, Marne could only blame the Holy Grail War for the mistakes.
If the Holy Grail doesn't choose him, then he won't have to worry about it.
As he said this, he completely forgot how happy he was when he learned that the Holy Grail War was about to begin.
It also automatically omits the fact that he himself insisted on being cheeky and summoned Nero by pretending to be the widow of a saint.
In short, it's all about shirking responsibility!
This is an instinctive human reaction when faced with mistakes.
Of course, Marx and Engels were already prepared to accept the third option.
That is……
Nero took the initiative and went all the way.
If he couldn't defend against it, it's not really his fault, right?
While this kind of 'passive' behavior is also typical of a jerk, it's not entirely unacceptable.
After all, what man doesn't have a little bit of anticipation in his heart?
Chapter 29 A Father-Son Scheme? Target Locked & Blackmailing Mother Shanshan
Two more days passed, and the last group of Masters, Kenneth and his party, finally arrived in Fuyuki City yesterday.
The Tohsaka family had been prepared and had received the information they wanted.
"A girl with metallic blue eyes, a martial arts-inspired face, no cowlick, and a domineering yet maddening demeanor?"
Ma En looked at the intelligence report handed to him by Tokiomi Tohsaka, his face bearing the expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway.
Then his eyes widened suddenly as he exclaimed, "Holy crap! It can't be Mo Zai, can it?! It's definitely Mo Zai, right?!"
Although I was discovered while trying to take a picture, so no photos were taken.
However, based solely on these written descriptions...
Marne immediately guessed that the person who appeared to be a Servant was definitely Mordred!
"Mo Zai? Who's that? Are you close to her?"
Upon hearing this, Miss Nero asked with a look of curiosity.
At the same time, I was a little wary. What was the relationship between this newly appeared woman and Ma En? She was actually calling him by his nickname.
You should know that even she, Maren never gave her a nickname!
There's definitely something going on here!
Seeing Nero's renewed jealousy, Marne didn't seem to care. Instead, he said with a pleased expression:
"Of course we know each other, we know each other better than anyone else, and we even met her parents just the day before yesterday at noon."
"The day before yesterday? You mean Einzbern... um..."
Nero spoke belatedly, then paused halfway through his sentence.
At this moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka picked up the conversation and continued, "That King Arthur, so she is Mordred, right?"
"Yes, it's that damn knight, hehe~ Kenneth, that guy really gave us a lot of fun. This has turned into a father-son game, hahaha."
Marne nodded, then burst into laughter.
This is absolutely hilarious!
Just imagining Mordred getting stabbed in the back made Maren laugh hysterically.
"Hahahaha, indeed, it's truly hilarious. These two, who were originally destined to die together and had a deep-seated grudge, have now reunited in this Far East, once again facing off with swords drawn. Brilliant! Brilliant indeed!"
The mother, Shan Shan, who had been watching from the sidelines, also agreed and laughed out loud with pleasure.
"Hmm, hmm, I see. That's really interesting, hehehehe."
Nero, unusually, didn't argue with her mother Gilgamesh; instead, she joined in the unkind laughter.
Seeing the three guys, all with chaotic personalities, laughing so happily, Tokiomi Tohsaka was somewhat infected by their joy.
However, just as he was about to laugh out loud, he felt that it would be too rude to gloat like that, so he stopped himself and gave an awkward but polite smile.
After laughing enough, Mar and Eng stroked their chin and pondered:
"However, this confirms that Saber is with Kenneth, while Berserker is with the Matou family."
"Although Berserker is mentally unstable, he has gained a level increase in the first three abilities, making him very strong. With just ten cannon fodder Hassans, the intelligence might not even have a chance to be transmitted before they are wiped out by the enemy."
"Just in case, let's send two more clones who are skilled in stealth to keep watch outside, and send more familiars as well."
Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded and said, "Yes, I'll handle it."
Tokiomi Tohsaka had no objection to Maru taking over command, after all, Maru knew the Heroic Spirits so well.
In terms of handling Servants, I am indeed not as good as Marx and Engels.
Ma En nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, have you found the Rider group yet?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded and said, "The Rider Group invaded the Fuyuki Library last night. Through the surveillance footage, we have confirmed that it was Iskandar. We have found that their hiding place is in a house in the suburbs."
After a year of influence from Marx and Engels, Tokiomi Tohsaka has also come to accept some modern science.
For example, a convenient thing like a surveillance camera.
Although I won't use them myself to avoid being ridiculed by my peers, at least I won't be so old-fashioned as to not utilize these external resources.
"So it really is that big oaf. Looks like we need to get rid of him first."
Despite being called a big, dumb oaf, Ma En didn't dare underestimate him at all.
After all, the other party was a conqueror king, even though he acted like a big, clumsy, rough man, a brute.
However, he is very meticulous and has a truly courageous and resourceful mind, capable of leading an army.
At the same time, it is also the biggest uncertainty in this Holy Grail War.
This character, who is already present in the original work, is a troublemaker who specifically triggers the plot.
Most importantly, Ma'en was worried that Iskandar would launch another taunt attack, which would provoke Gilgamesh out of the room.
As for the Einzbern family, they will inevitably clash with Kenneth's side because of the feud between the two Servants, regardless of what happens next.
The situation of the Matou family is currently unclear, but they still pose a significant threat.
Therefore, Marne wanted to deal with one of them first, and then free up his hands to take care of the Matou family. The remaining situation was quite clear: three against one against one, or three against two.
In terms of the Servant's strength, the Tohsaka family could practically have secured victory by then.
With two powerful Servants on the front and Hassan on the flank to deal with the Master, they formed an absolute advantage.
So, Ma En looked at Niang Shanshan, held out his hand in front of her and said, "We need to deal with that Rider. Can I borrow your EA for a bit?"
Pa~!
Mother Shanshan slapped Ma En's hand away, looking disgusted, and said:
"How dare you mortals lay a finger on my treasured EA? You are truly ignorant of your own limitations."
Maren rubbed his hands, then shamelessly continued to extort money from them:
"Fine, if you don't give us EA, at least give us a few A+ rank Noble Phantasms for city or army battles, right? We can't be the ones running around doing all the work while you reap the benefits."
