My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Unfortunately, the creature that appeared before him was none other than the succubus who had been very active recently, and Merry, who had been nearly blasted to smithereens just yesterday.

How dare you talk about Scáthach behind her back like that? Aren't you afraid of getting pricked like a hedgehog?

Li Wei was thinking this when he realized that things were not quite as he had imagined.

Although this place is still the familiar Avalon, he has lost all his power and can't even speak. He is like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

When did I get infected? And if that's the case, doesn't that mean Sister Meryl can do whatever she wants to me?

"Don't worry, Avi. I went to great lengths to set up this game. Your angel won't be able to find this place anytime soon."

Sister Meryl stared at the boy with greedy eyes, swallowing hard: "But even I have to abide by the rules of the game and can't touch your prize. It's so hard for me to hold back."

So what exactly is this guy trying to do?

"You know what, Avi? There are a lot of girls in this world who are interested in you. Some are too shy to speak up for various reasons, some have confessed but haven't gotten anywhere, and some haven't even figured out their true feelings yet."

This game is an opportunity for them; the winner can win the heart of a beautiful woman. And you are that prize!

Sister Meryl snapped her fingers cheerfully: "I would call this the Second Livy War!"

Icarus should have killed you yesterday!

Chapter 56 Gentlemen, I Like War

As soon as Sister Meryl finished speaking, seven figures suddenly appeared not far from Li Wei.

Because they are covered in magical light, their appearances are not visible. They vary in height, and all that can be confirmed is that they are all girls; nothing else is known.

When they saw Li Wei lying on the podium like Sleeping Beauty, their eyes suddenly lit up, their killing intent surged, and their fighting power increased dramatically!

"The seven of you are the chosen girls. The rules of the game are very simple. I will randomly send the prize to a certain place in the city below. Whoever can find it and protect it until dawn will win."

Sister Mei pointed to the city projection created by magic not far away, a replica of a part of Tokyo: "Any means are acceptable, as long as the prize is in your hands by dawn."

"I know some of you know each other and might find it hard to do it. But that's okay. The battle in Avalon won't harm your main body, and the loser will lose all memories of this game, so there's no need to worry about hurting your friendships."

Each of you has received an enhancement corresponding to your role, either through a physical upgrade or the incarnation of another entity within you. In short, use your wisdom and skill to win this war of love!

After hearing Sister Meryl's explanation, all the contestants' concerns were dispelled, and they looked at each other with eager anticipation in their eyes.

Judging from what this guy is saying, he knows someone among the contestants, right? Well, I'm sorry, but this is the one thing I absolutely will not let you have.

This idea came to everyone's mind.

"Then I declare the game open!"

With a snap of her fingers, Sister Meryl, who was completely unable to move, was swept up by magic and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight, clearly having been teleported to some area of ​​the magic city.

Before leaving, he looked at the grinning white sow, his eyes filled with more confusion than anger.

This girl is notorious for always trying to take advantage of others. Doing good deeds is never her thing, so there's no way she would create a game just for fun that only makes her dislike her and doesn't give her any benefit at all.

Don't be fooled, something's definitely wrong!

These were the words he desperately wanted to say, but unfortunately he couldn't open his mouth and could only watch helplessly as he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The next moment, without the referee giving the order to start the game, the seven contestants immediately rushed into the city with a "waaaahg!", ready to find and hide the handsome young men they had their eyes on, and take them home to raise after winning.

"Hmph, you all better fight it out. The final winner will definitely be me, the housekeeper!"

Sister Meili smiled so brightly, she looked just like a fox that had successfully eaten chicken.

……

On the other side, Li Wei, in the projected city, opened his eyes and looked around, finding that he was very familiar with this place.

Minkura-so, an old apartment building in a remote corner of Tokyo, where low-income people live, is also where his fiancée, Hitagi Senjougahara, has been staying temporarily—and now he hears she's about to move.

The projection magic was truly impressive; all the furniture and clothing were replicated together. Li Wei was now lying next to what should have been Senjougahara's bed, with the girl's undergarments and pantyhose less than 30 centimeters away from him.

It's obvious that this is because the city that Meryl copied was locked at a certain time at night, just when Senjougahara was already in bed.

Naturally, there were only inanimate objects like clothes here. The bed was empty, and there was no sign of his sharp-tongued, long-haired fiancée, which relieved the young man.

"Oh, oh, oh, feeling regretful, young man? You looked exceptionally handsome tonight."

The only one who could utter such words was, of course, a certain white-haired sow named Meli-chan. At this moment, she transformed back into a large ball of light, buzzing around Li Wei like a fly, making everyone uneasy.

[After tonight, I'll make sure Icarus kills you.] Levi couldn't speak, he conveyed his meaning through his eyes, but thankfully, Meryl understood.

"Hehehe, we'll have to wait until after tonight. But by then, you probably won't want to part with me, kid."

Faced with someone whose skin is even thicker than Sakata Gintoki's, who thinks nothing but amusement and whose motto is "I don't care what happens after I die," cursing or hitting her will only excite her more.

Li Wei simply closed his eyes and chose not to look, his mind racing as he considered ways to break the deadlock.

We still don't have enough cards to play. We can't contact Icarus, and there's been no response to our plan to travel back to the Fairy Kingdom to avoid trouble temporarily. Is there any other solution?

That's pretty much it. Li Wei was tricked by the white-haired sow, leaving him unable to do anything like Sleeping Beauty. While he was calmly analyzing and thinking carefully, he heard footsteps outside the house.

"somebody is coming?"

The boy reacted immediately, then realized that there was no one else in this projected city, and the newcomer must be one of the players who participated in the Meryl Game.

Judging from what she said before, all the people who came to participate in the competition must know him. So who will be the first to find him?

Then, as the door was pushed open, an unexpected petite figure appeared before him.

"Wow, it's Levi! Maria found it first! Maria is indeed the smartest!"

The one who would use this title is undoubtedly Maria Takayama, an orphan who was also adopted by Sakata Kindergarten and whom Levi treated like a younger sister.

Why are you here, Maria? You're only ten years old, still a primary school student, right? You're already developing feelings for a boy and a girl so early... Oh, I also developed this awareness when I was ten. Never mind then.

But I've always thought of you as my little sister, how could you have such thoughts about me? Katsura Hinagiku and I even changed your diapers.

"Hehehe, Brother Li Wei is mine now, Maria is so happy! Maria is going to be Brother Li Wei's bride!" Maria said as she hugged the boy's head and rubbed it against him.

To his surprise, Maria, who was a primary school student, still had a little bit of tactile sensation, seemingly even better than Sanzenin, so that he didn't experience the feeling of a file.

"Uncle Gintoki signed a marriage certificate with Maria a few years ago, and now it's about to become a reality!"

I've always known that Gintoki is an unreliable bastard, but how could he even lie to Maria? She was a little girl just a few years ago, wasn't she?

Unaware of what the boy was thinking, the little nun wore a silly smile.

Chapter 57 Venus Goddess Rin Tohsaka

Maria was overjoyed, feeling that victory was in the bag.

This city is so big, all Maria needs to do is hide Li Wei away and keep him lured away until dawn, and she'll be a winner in life!

Thinking this, the little nun unconsciously revealed a victorious smile, then looked up and realized something was wrong.

The moment she embraced Levi, a dazzling magical marker suddenly appeared in the sky above Mincang Village. A bright, fiery arrow pointed down at the old apartment building below, with the words "[Caster has discovered Levi here!]" written on it.

So Maria's class in this battle was Caster. Considering her identity as a nun, it makes sense.

"Oh ho ho, Sister Meryl loves watching women fight. Hiding and lying low until the end to be a sneaky old fox won't work, you know."

Merry, who had transformed into a giant ball of light, kept stirring things up: "Let's fight! Beauty is only for the strong. Whether you can last until the end depends on your ability."

Such a conspicuous sign was particularly bright in the city at night, and all the other contestants spotted it almost simultaneously and quickly headed towards the marked location.

The faint sound of something cutting through the air could be heard outside the house, indicating that some contestants who were nearby had already come to try and seize it.

"It's alright, Brother Levi. Maria is very strong now and will definitely protect you from being taken away by other girls of unknown origin!" The little nun said this very seriously, while raising her arms to try to show off her muscles, to reassure Levi.

Unfortunately, only its combat power was enhanced; its physical size remained unchanged, so nothing could be seen.

"Hand over Avi to me right now!"

With a loud bang, the roof of the old apartment building was ripped off, letting in the cool evening breeze and bright moonlight, along with an incredibly familiar sound.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wei saw his fiancée, childhood friend, and always clumsy Rin Tohsaka.

She has incredibly fair skin and a slightly unattractive bust; she's a beautiful young girl with flowing black twin tails and a devilish red eye.

Completely different from her usual ladylike appearance, she was now wearing a strapless top and panties that blended divine style with modern fashion. She wore a golden hair ornament and huge gold earrings. Her legs, which she often used as weapons to tease Li Wei while wearing pantyhose, were only covered by a single over-the-knee sock and wristband, while the other half was bare. This asymmetrical combination and the minimal amount of fabric made her appear both sacred and alluring.

Rather than combat attire, it's more like a romantic outfit for couples.

Beneath her was a huge, crescent-shaped device that granted her the ability to fly. She first looked at Maria with a disdainful expression, as if to say, "A little girl trying to steal a man? Have she even grown her pubic hair yet?" Then her gaze met Levi's, and she breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the boy was unharmed.

【Wait, aren't we engaged? Why are you here to participate in the game?】 Unable to speak, they could only communicate with their eyes, but fortunately, they both understood each other.

"Why can't my fiancée come? Is this war only for lowly human girls?"

Feeling quite pleased, Rin Tohsaka, who seemed more like a devil than a goddess, revealed a defiant smile: "I must get rid of those girls who covet my husband. Avi, you just need to wash yourself clean and wait for me to get into bed."

Oh no, it seems like Tohsaka is possessed by something. Otherwise, she would never say something like that, given her personality. She usually blushes and doesn't dare to look at me when I help her with wrestling.

"That's right. Some contestants have their own fighting ability, while others are just ordinary girls, so we need to provide a little extra help to put everyone on the same starting line." Sister Mei continued to act as the commentator: "Young man, it seems that your fiancée has been possessed by a goddess, and her divinity is exceptionally high. You'll be in for a world of trouble in the future."

It's okay, with Tohsaka's tendency to mess things up, she's not afraid of any goddess coming.

"who are you!"

Despite being completely overwhelmed by Tohsaka's imposing manner, Maria glanced at Levi and immediately regained her courage.

Even if the opponent is a seemingly super strong older sister, I will not admit defeat!

A divine power emanated from her, so powerful that it drew attention. Li Wei seemed to sense a familiar aura emanating from her, quite similar to certain passages he had read in "The Wisdom of Solomon".

Hmm, it seems to be the part where Martha plants the cross in the ground and punches the dragon Tarasque.

It seems that Maria also has some special entity residing in her body, perhaps because her body is not suitable, or because the power given is insufficient, but in any case, her personality has not been affected much.

But why is your Caster a melee fighter? Legendary magicians like Merlin, Solomon, and Gilgamesh all used melee combat.

"Not bad, that's more interesting, but you're still too green."

Rin Tohsaka waved her hand: "Hand over Avi to me right now. As a noble goddess, I won't stoop to your level."

"Impossible! Brother Li Wei is Maria's husband!" The little nun then hugged the young demon even tighter. If it weren't for her strong physique, her bones would have broken.

"It seems that we still have to resort to force, but that suits me just the way it is."

The twin-tailed little devil, who had somehow gotten herself inside, hovered high in the air, with Venus, the goddess of beauty, shining brightly in the night sky: "In that case, take this Noble Phantasm."

With her movements, the magic in the air was being desperately drawn out, and a mysterious gate was summoned out by her, indicating that something very powerful was about to appear.

"It's time to jump, Maanna! Open the gate! Haha, this is your honor, right? This is all my power! Shatter it, mountain-shaking star firewood!"

Under the magic of the beautiful goddess, Li Wei felt as if Venus in the sky had been summoned and was crashing down on the virtual city.

In terms of its Noble Phantasm alone, its destructive power is unbelievably immense, perhaps only comparable to Morgana's. However, she seems to have forgotten a small problem: Livy is still in the city!

"!!!!!!"

As the treasure drew ever closer, the boy couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.

What's going on, Tohsaka? Are you trying to kill me?

"Wow, Avi, I'm so sorry, I forgot about you!"

The goddess, who had messed up, only suddenly realized at this moment that her Noble Phantasm seemed to be a bit too powerful, and frantically tried to stop it.

But with the arrow already on the string, it had to be released. Tohsaka could only endure the pain of the backlash and desperately try to reduce the damage range of her Noble Phantasm.

Finally, through her efforts, the Aibif Mountain Peak, launched from Maanna's magazine, was suppressed to the extreme, easily blasting away little Sister Maria and Sister Meryl, who was watching the spectacle.

"Wow, assaulting the referee is a foul. Wasn't it supposed to be that the commentators were invincible?"

As she said these words, Sister Meryl instantly turned to ashes and vanished without a trace in the wind.

Tohsaka: "Sorry, I thought it was a speed bump."

Chapter 58 Vanilla, your people are everywhere in the Lion King organization.

"Woooooooo..."

Faced with Rin Tohsaka's powerful Noble Phantasm attack, Sister Maria had no ability to fight back. She collapsed to the side with a mournful face, making sounds like a bullied little animal. Her body gradually faded, clearly a sign that she was about to be eliminated.

Come to think of it, although Maria received a boost in magical power to some extent and was possessed by other powerful beings, she was still a primary school student after all, with no combat experience whatsoever.

Facing a powerful opponent like the Demon Muscle Rin right from the start, there's only one path left: a glorious defeat.

"Maria doesn't want to lose, Maria wants to be Levi's bride..." That's what they say, but it's a loser's game, and there will always be losers.

I'll go and comfort your Maria later, don't worry.
