Comprehensive anime illustrations, but all the beautiful girls in the group chat want to pay for you

The female voice in my memory is so gentle that it makes me shudder.

"My dear husband~"

Bawanshi shuddered unconsciously, and her pink hair swayed slightly with the trembling.

She subconsciously hugged her arms tightly, not even noticing the puzzled look from Melyuchina.

Chapter 64: Patch: That’s great, I don’t have to be bullied anymore!

Zhou Yuan's gaze lingered briefly on Ba Wanxi, and he keenly caught the strange look that flashed across her face.

But he just looked away calmly and buried this detail in his heart for the time being.

The special bond between the pink-haired fairy girl and herself, as well as the secrets she might know, were obviously not the time to discuss them in public.

He shook his head imperceptibly, tapping the tabletop lightly with his slender fingers, drawing everyone's attention back to the main topic.

"What do you think about this?"

"No~"

Shuten-doji's lazy voice broke the silence first.

She leaned back in her chair, her slender fingers playing with the wine cup, a nonchalant smile flickering in her lavender eyes.

"I don't care about this kind of thing~"

After saying that, he took a sip of the wine in the glass, not caring at all about the crystal clear wine on his lips.

"That's true...Shuten-sama is still so casual."

Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head helplessly and chuckled, narrowing her eye slightly.

Her fingers, holding the cane, tapped lightly on the shaft, making a regular, light sound.

The moonlight from outside the window filtered through the stained glass, casting mottled shadows on her light brown hair.

The atmosphere in the conference room eased slightly due to this conversation, but the deep thought in Zhou Yuan's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"how about you?"

Zhou Yuan turned his gaze to the magician girl who first told him the news.

Toosaka Rin was still wearing her signature red long-necked sweater, and her black hair shone like satin under the light.

She frowned slightly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the teacup.

"Rin, do you have any ideas?"

Her voice was clear and firm, and her eyes swept over everyone present.

"I think it's too early to discuss this now."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at everyone present and continued,

"There are only four Masters here now, and the whereabouts of three are unknown. Perhaps... we should find them first."

"I have no opinion!"

Illya immediately raised her little hand, and the bow in her silver hair swayed happily with her movement.

Her ruby ​​eyes sparkled like a child looking forward to adventure.

"what about you?"

Zhou Yuan looked around at the others.

Iwanaga Kotoko stood up gracefully with the help of a cane, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"I listen to you~"

Her voice was playful, and her light brown hair shone softly under the light.

"After all, Mr. Zhou Yuan is our protector~"

……

"Actually... there's one more thing..."

Toosaka Rin suddenly spoke, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table, her voice hesitant.

She frowned slightly, as if considering how to express this discovery.

"Have you noticed? This Holy Grail War... it seems even the most basic class attributes haven't been revealed?"

She turned to look at the knight girl standing quietly behind her, her expression becoming complicated.

"Although I've always called Miss Lily "Saber..."

Toosaka Rin's fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the teacup.

"But that's just my judgment based on the holy sword she holds."

The moonlight shines through the stained glass, casting mottled shadows on the knight's silver armor.

Lily lowered her head slightly when she heard that, a hint of confusion flashing in her green eyes. She was obviously also puzzled by this unusual situation.

"Xiao Xi, do you have anything to say?"

In the empty conference room, only Zhou Yuan and two fairy girls were left.

The candlelight flickered on the silver candlesticks, stretching the shadows of the three people very long.

Melyuchina's silver eyelashes trembled slightly, and she keenly sensed something:

"Bawanshi, do you know something?"

Her voice carried the oppressive feeling unique to the dragon clan.

Apparently, she had missed some key information by leaving the table too early.

"Well!"

The pink-haired vampire fairy shuddered like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

She twisted her skirt nervously, and her pointed ears flushed:

"I, I don't know..."

The sound became smaller and smaller, and finally became almost a breath.

Those grey eyes flickered, and anyone could tell she was lying clumsily.

Zhou Yuan's brows furrowed slightly. He was surprised by the uncharacteristic behavior of this usually straightforward girl.

But soon, a guess came to mind -

Perhaps, this is related to the mysterious "Queen" she mentioned?

He reached out and gently rubbed the top of Bawanshi's head.

This gentle action made the tense girl gradually relax.

"It's fine."

His voice was as soft as moonlight,

"If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."

Fingertips slide along the hair,

"Take her away, Meruko."

Melusina opened her eyes wide in surprise, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

In the end, she just swung her long silver hair in a graceful arc, pulled up Bawanshi's arm, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The moonlight shines through the stained glass, giving their departing figures a dreamy hue.

Zhou Yuan stood alone in front of the window, the remaining warmth on his fingertips quickly blown away by the night wind.

In the distance, the midnight bell rang from the Scarlet Devil Mansion's clock tower, distant and deep.

----------

"Pachi, I have some guesses about the identity of the caster..."

Zhou Yuan's fingertips tapped lightly on the gold-embossed cover of the ancient book, and his gaze turned to the purple-haired witch.

The candlelight flickered in his deep eyes, reflecting a complex emotion.

"but..."

Patchouli raised her head when she heard that, a hint of curiosity flashing in her amethyst eyes.

She closed the magic book in her hand, and her slender fingers unconsciously stroked the spine:

"But what?"

Zhou Yuan looked out the window, where moonlight was flowing on the spire of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

His voice suddenly became erratic:

"But...I'm afraid we won't be able to see that person for a while."

There was a hint of uncertainty in this sentence, as if it was stating a fact, but also as if it was asking for the other person's opinion.

"..."

Silence stretched between the two for a moment, but Patchouli suddenly let out a breath as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

A relieved smile appeared on her pale cheeks, and her amethyst-like eyes sparkled softly in the candlelight.

"It doesn't matter,"

Patchouli elegantly tucked a strand of her scattered purple hair behind her ear, and her voice suddenly became as brisk as a jumping note.

Her loose nightcap swayed slightly as she relaxed, casting a swaying shadow in the candlelight.

"In that case, just focus on preparing for the Holy Grail War! There's no need to worry about this matter~"

The lace on her cuffs cast subtle light and shadows on the cover of the ancient book, and her slender fingers no longer tightly grasped the pages, but stretched out easily.

This sudden change made Zhou Yuan's eyebrows slightly raised——

The witch looked as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.

(Great...that promise doesn't have to be fulfilled!)

Patchouli cheered quietly in her heart, a hint of cunning flashing in her amethyst eyes.

She pretended to sort out the pile of books in front of her, but in fact she was hiding the upturned corners of her mouth.

The moonlight outside the window suddenly became brighter, as if it was also rejoicing for this small "victory".

However, she didn't seem to realize that for the first time, she considered something else more important than magic research.

Chapter 65 Is this photo of you? Yes, I was very thin at that time

"Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time the Holy Grail War has been so peaceful, right?"

Toosaka Rin lazily sank into the scarlet velvet sofa of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, her long legs casually crossed.

She toyed with a magical gem on her fingertips, her blue eyes looking out at the night through the floor-to-ceiling window, and there was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Although she knew that someone was tampering with the rules of this Holy Grail War, she couldn't find a way to break the strange harmony in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

After all, even the traditional seven-rider class system has been distorted by an unknown force.

"So you're not going back to your house?"

The corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes swept over the piles of black tea, snacks and magic books in the girl's hands.

This magician, whose family motto is "elegance", is now staying in the enemy camp's stronghold like a sated cat, and even uses Patchouli's precious collection of books as coasters.

Although the Scarlet Devil Mansion's space-expansion magic makes it much more spacious than it appears, Toosaka Rin's attitude of taking the initiative still gives him a headache.

"Cough-cough-"

Toosaka Rin sat up suddenly like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and almost choked on the tea in her mouth.

Her fair cheeks flushed instantly, and she frantically straightened her crooked ruby ​​hair accessory.
