Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

But this appearance reminded them of the mastermind behind the Tokyo Holy Grail War, the wicked woman who wanted to devour Lin Jiu'an and once possessed Sakura's body!

Artoria immediately stood up, sword in hand, and stood in front of the women.

"That's right!"

Kama thoroughly enjoyed the startled expressions on Aoi Tohsaka's face, and with hands on her hips and head tilted back, she snorted, "It's me!"

“Don’t worry, she’s actually a good girl,” Irisviel said softly.

"What good child?!" Kama glared at Irisviel with displeasure.

"Alright, don't be angry, we're all partners." Irisviel smiled and gently ruffled Kama's hair, which made Kama's expression even more dissatisfied, and he muttered something under his breath.

"Alice, what's going on? How did your daughter turn into Kama?"

"It's a long story, but it started when I was in Tokyo..."

The idea that Irisviel Huailin Jiu'an has a child is a false proposition.

She does not possess this function herself.

It is almost impossible for a human body to bear the offspring of the Beast of Original Sin. The birth of this child is a miracle in itself, and even if it is conceived, it is even more difficult for it to mature and be born.

During the Holy Grail War in Tokyo, due to the contamination by Kama, coupled with Lin Jiu'an's tireless efforts day and night, the situation worsened.

The powers of the two beasts within Irisviel's body grew increasingly intense.

She was fine, of course.

As a relatively strong adult, and having already developed some resistance to Lin Jiu'an's corruption, the contamination was still within her acceptable range. However, the 'contamination' of the fetus in her womb was getting deeper and deeper.

If it could be born, it would naturally be terrifying. It's not impossible that a new original sin beast could be born, but the chance of such a 'birth' is extremely slim.

And as Lin Jiu'an's child.

The life growing inside Irisviel's womb was, in some ways, more compatible with Sakura Tohsaka, Aoi Tohsaka, and Kama; it could even be said that the body was perfectly tailor-made for her.

In addition, Kama himself did not trust Rafe very much.

She didn't believe he would be so kind and suspected he might be plotting something behind her back, so she left herself a way out by residing a part of her soul in the body of the baby in Irisviel's womb. In the future, even if her original body was destroyed because of Rafe's betrayal, she could be resurrected by using the soul in Irisviel's body and the baby's body.

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

The Grand Bomber Rafe blew up the Greater Grail, and Kama was also blasted into the void. However, since Lin Jiu'an bore most of the impact of the explosion, she only fainted because Lin Jiu'an had tormented her.

After waking up.

With the fragments of her soul remaining in Irisviel's body, Kama successfully returned to this world. However, crossing the void along the way consumed a lot of her magic power, which is why she changed from the voluptuous older sister to the flat-chested little girl she is now.

"And your child...?"

"not bad."

Irisviel smiled nonchalantly.

“Ilya could never have been born in the first place, and besides, Kama is a good child, isn’t he?”

"Don't touch my head!"

Kama grumbled in dissatisfaction, but did not actually put up any resistance.

Seeing this, the women gradually lowered their guard.

Irisviel then pressed her advantage, saying, "That's pretty much my plan."

“With Kama’s help, and Aoi, you can provide the underground spiritual vein to help Kama recover some of his strength. Then, with Kama’s connection with Natalia and Minamoto no Yorimitsu, we might be able to find Lin Jiu’an before Morgan!”

Upon hearing this, the women pondered the possibility for a moment, and then their eyes lit up with excitement. They had already begun to fantasize about finding Lin Jiu'an and teaching that scumbag who had abandoned them for so many years without a word, and who had taken Minamoto no Yorimitsu away as soon as they finally got news of him!

"it is good!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Genji's Dairies, Nero's Despair

'Achoo!'

Minamoto no Yorimitsu gradually regained some consciousness and looked tenderly at Lin Jiu'an, who had sat up.

"Jiu'an, have you caught a cold?"

"How could that be? Maybe someone is talking about me."

Lin Jiu'an has recently become obsessed with drinking milk.

Although there were no complicated processes to remove the fishy smell from milk in this era, the quality of the milk produced here was high. Although it was all-natural, it had no fishy smell at all and was instead exceptionally sweet.

“Raikō, I’m reminded of what Shuten-dōji said.”

"Jiu'an, you're such a bad boy."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu naturally knew what Lin Jiu'an was referring to, and gave Lin Jiu'an a reproachful glare.

"Don't say that!"

Although this situation is somewhat contrary to science.

However, neither the Beast of Original Sin nor the Heroic Spirit is a product of science. After Lin Jiu'an slightly modified the state of the spirit base and the physical body, it completely conformed to the description of Shuten-dōji.

And because they are heroic spirits.

There's no need to worry about losing a lot of moisture or causing any damage to the body with long-term use.

The direction of magic has also formed a healthier two-way cycle.

"Owner."

Bai Mao Hassan's cool voice suddenly rang out from beside the bed.

"What is it now?"

"Your subordinates are incompetent; all the clones monitoring Fujimaru Ritsuka are dead."

"It's been discovered."

Lin Jiu'an didn't mind, changed his position and leaned against the headboard to replenish his magic power.

"Alright, we don't need to worry about Fujimaru Ritsuka anymore. Just continue arresting prisoners and gathering information on the other two factions, especially Edison's side."

"Yes, Master."

······

The rapid sound of horses' hooves echoed quickly through the mountains and forests, growing louder as they approached.

A tall, black horse with blood-red eyes and a body as if it had emerged from hell galloped swiftly through the mountains and forests. Its towering black shadow moved so fast in the night that it left behind only streaks of black and red afterimages that were too fast for the naked eye to catch.

suddenly.

Flames fell from the sky, forming a long spear that precisely embedded itself in front of the horse.

The woman on horseback pulled on the reins beforehand, and the black warhorse neighed and came to a quick stop. Its blood-red eyes reflected the figure that had suddenly blocked its way.

She was a stunningly beautiful woman, tall and slender, wielding a spear as long as the sun.

Her long, snow-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying naturally in the wind, just like her indifferent eyes, which reflected the figures of Artoria and Fujimaru Ritsuka riding on horseback.

"Intruders, state your purpose."

"Karna!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, leaning against Artoria's lap, was still a little dizzy from the horse ride. Although her physical condition was only slightly better than that of an ordinary person, she was still a bit dizzy at such high speeds, even with Artoria's magical protection.

Upon hearing Karna's voice, he immediately snapped out of his daze and hurriedly said, "We have no hostility! I would like to discuss cooperation with you."

Karna's gaze fell on Fujimaru Ritsuka, and he slightly raised his eyes.

"cooperate?"

"You must have heard that Cú Chulainn is leading the Celts toward Richmond."

Fujimaru Ritsuka continued without waiting for Karna's response, "I think this is a good opportunity to cooperate with you to deal with Lin Jiu'an and Cú Chulainn."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Karna remained silent and did not answer immediately.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was extremely nervous, her small hands clenching involuntarily.

Although the plan to divert the trouble eastward and pit two tigers against each other has been very successful so far.

As they had initially planned, Cú Chulainn easily fell into their trap. Upon hearing that Scáthach was in Richmond, he launched a large-scale attack on Richmond. However, while the two sides were fighting, they currently lacked the strength of the fisherman.

They are more like the snipe and the clam than the snipe and the clam!

Scáthach, along with the Servants summoned by the three riders, is indeed incredibly powerful.

But it also depends on who you're trading with.

Facing formidable opponents like Cú Chulainn and Lin Jiu'an.

Only Scáthach can influence the course of the battle.

While the remaining characters, such as Artoria, can certainly play a role, it's difficult for them to have a significant impact.

Furthermore, the appearance of Hassan with a hundred faces gave Fujimaru Ritsuka the feeling that 'Lin Jiu'an has seen through her plan.'

Although this plan was originally an open conspiracy.

Both Cú Chulainn and Lin Jiu'an could easily figure out the truth of the matter and realize that someone was deliberately sabotaging them. But Cú Chulainn, whose already limited intelligence was further diminished after going berserk and who only knew how to kill, goes without saying.

After hearing the news about Scáthach.

The other party will definitely pounce on him like a dog in heat, not caring about anything else, and that's exactly what happens in reality.

Lin Jiu'an would also consider that she was the one behind it.

But as the beast of original sin, would he really sit down and reason with the invading mad dog Cú Chulainn?

Even if he changed his gender, would Cú Chulainn, that mad dog, listen to reason?

Therefore, the two sides will definitely fight. The plan has been very successful so far and is unlikely to fail.

But after confirming the existence of Hassan the Hundred-Faced, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt somewhat uneasy.

Let's not discuss whether Lin Jiu'an has any schemes to deal with them.

They can summon Servants.

After Huyan Zhuo and Nagao Kagetora, Lin Jiu'an has pulled out a Hundred-Faced Hassan that we've never seen before. Could this be a new summoned Servant?

Since the Lancer-class Artoria had a warhorse mount, capable of traveling a thousand miles in a single night at full speed, Fujimaru Ritsuka had Artoria ride the warhorse to Edison's territory after dealing with the Hundred-Faced Hassans who were monitoring them, and then had her seek Edison's help.

"follow me."

······

Lin Jiu'an walked through the prison with Bai Mao Hassan.

This is not that filthy, chaotic prison, crammed with sinners captured by Bai Ma Hassan.

Instead, it was a prison that Lin Jiu'an specially built beneath the castle where he now resides, specifically to imprison those captured who refused to submit.

As we reached the deepest part.

Lin Jiu'an stopped in his tracks.

It was a cage enveloped in a pitch-black substance that resembled flesh and blood.

Deepest on the wall, where the surface was originally just slightly uneven flesh, a large piece of flesh protruded, vaguely resembling a human figure, which was being enveloped by black mud that kept making a chilling, flowing sound.

From that black mud.

You can also faintly hear what sounds like a woman's extremely weak moans.

"She mentioned wanting to see you several times recently."

Bai Mao Hassan spoke softly, his eyes filled with envy as he gazed at the humanoid figure enveloped in black mud.

They are able to be enveloped and pampered by their owners at all times.

For Lin Jiu'an's enemies, this was a torment worse than hell itself; but for her, Hu Yanzhuo, Nagao Kagetora, and other women and subordinates of Lin Jiu'an, it was a reward that excited them more than any material reward.

They are truly unaware of their own good fortune.

"Can't you hold it anymore?"

As Lin Jiu'an moved his mind, the black mud dispersed, revealing Nero with her mouth slightly open and her expression completely broken. As the black mud on her body completely dissipated, she fell helplessly from the wall to the ground.
