The dragon, who had just woken up, was in a bad mood because it saw a lot of dirty things.

However, the other person seemed to feel better after seeing me.

“You’re not bad. There are only a few treasures in the world, and you’re one of them.”

The dragon girl revealed the dragon race's instinct for treasure: "I saved you from freezing to death in the snowstorm, how will you repay me?"

"Why don't you sell me? I think I'm still worth something."

The girl gave a smile that looked even uglier than crying.

In any case, in another year, she will be sold to the queen by the village fairies.

"Hmm, it's not worth selling you for money, I'd better give you away."

"Sending...someone?"

"Go and be a bed warmer for my husband."

Jinxi thought that since the original body was a fan of the King, it would probably like this Lostbelt ahoge (cowlick).

After throwing Caster in front of Adam, Jinxi headed towards Morgan, intending to take her away from this world.

He granted his subjects four thousand years to govern the country.

Jinxi considers herself to be quite open-minded and generous.

……

"The seeds of the Imaginary Tree are really interesting things."

1994, Dongmu Hotel.

Sakayanagi Arisu held a dark blue sphere in her palm, deciphering what exactly the Imaginary Tree in the Lostbelt was.

"It's a calculation device that absorbs the planet's magic power, incorporating the entire planet into its calculations. It can replace reality with the calculated virtual [fantasy]. It's a means used by those Lostbelts to resist the 'human reasoning' mechanism, somewhat like a low-end version of Mio Takamiya's Angel of Law... Adam, don't you think the term 'human reasoning' sounds a lot like the lumberjack in Arknights?"

"..."

"Adam?"

Sakayanagi Arisu turned her head and saw Adam burying his face in little Ilya's arms, who was gently stroking his head.

The innocent little girl is trying her best to be a good mother, entirely out of childlike kindness.

"Ugh……"

Alice could only sigh.

"Sister Alice."

The little girl called to her in a sweet, childish voice and patted the other side: "Do you want to come and lie down for a while? Adam said it's very relaxing."

Sakayanagi Arisu glanced at it.

Blue Dumb is giving Custer a bath in the bathroom, unaware of her own childish side.

She decisively put away the Imaginary Tree Seed and bent down to snuggle into Ilya's arms.

Take a deep breath.

It was filled with the clean scent of a little girl.

Little Ilya happily patted the two heads in her arms and even hummed a lullaby in a very convincing way.

Ilya's mother is so kind.

Chapter 168 This World Has Gone Mad

"Why did you call me that before?"

Saber was still feeling a pang of fear from that one word, "Mom."

"I'm sorry, I was so hungry at the time."

"I see, hunger is indeed terrible."

"Is this bothering you?"

"……without."

After giving Castor a bath and drying his hair, Saber had a complicated expression.

Although they were born into different families and had very different life experiences, her ridiculously high intuition was certain of one thing.

—This girl from a parallel world, who has the same face as me, is indeed another version of myself.

Another Artoria.

On the way to the hotel, Saber heard Adam tell her about Custer's origins.

To resolve the dead end in the British Lostbelt, the second Paradise Fairy was sent from the Starry Sea.

At the same time, it is also a human health support device.

Her birth had only one purpose: to dedicate herself to the holy sword.

In other words, she herself was the embryo of the Star Holy Sword.

As for her short life, Saber learned about it from her own words and found it unbearable. Adam added that even Oberon Vortigern, the final boss of the Lostbelt, couldn't bear to see Caster's miserable state and disguised himself as Merlin to teach Caster lockpicking, infiltration, and other skills to make a living.

Thinking of this, Saber couldn't help but pat Castor's head.

Castor raised his wet eyes.

Her eyes were those of a fairy, capable of seeing through all lies.

Because of these eyes, Artoria Caster can easily distinguish between other people's lies and truths, and sense their goodwill and malice.

There were four other people in the room besides her.

Adam was a blur in her fairy eyes, unable to perceive anything.

Sakayanagi Arisu is the deep sea, where countless skeletons and corpses are vaguely laid out. Three terrifying beings are vaguely positioned on three sides of the ocean; they are three indistinct knights.

Needless to say, the little girl Ilya was as pure white as snow.

And another self in pan-human history...

Why is it a red dragon that's yelling "I'm hungry!"?

Castor gave Saber a polite smile and asked in a low voice, "I was thrown here by a very powerful dragon girl and will be a slave to this family from now on. What about you, Saber?"

"I am a maid."

Saber sadly acknowledged this fact: "But I cannot succumb to their tyranny. I must still seek the Holy Grail that can grant all desires. I must... I must save that shattered Britain."

"I see. I don't have the same ambitions as you. I'm content with just having food and shelter."

Saber wanted to scold her for being useless.

But after thinking about the other person's tragic life, she swallowed those words back.

Castor looked around the modern hotel and said furtively, "Actually, I'm a little hungry."

"Feel the same."

"Cuckoo..."

The cooing of hungry stomachs rose and fell, like pigeons having a meeting.

Adam, who was quietly enjoying Ilya's mother's embrace, finally couldn't take it anymore: "Stop yelling! I'll take you to eat right away!"

"Great!"

"Hunger is a great enemy, Master."

Adam got up, ready to take the two foodies out to raid all the buffet restaurants in Fuyuki City.

But before he could set off, he received an unexpected message.

"We've found a place to eat!"

Adam was trying hard to suppress his wicked smile.

He showed the message on his phone to Arisu Sakayanagi.

"The patriarch of the Matou family, Zouken Matou, passed away two hours ago, and Tokiomi Tohsaka invited us to a banquet there."

"what?"

……

The Matou family is a gathering place for celebrities.

The local gentry, who usually rarely interact with people, had many cars parked in front of their house today, including many luxury cars.

People dressed in black formal attire entered one after another, and the atmosphere in the room was somber.

"I heard that Matou-no-o has two sons, so why haven't I seen them come out?"

“I heard from Mr. Tohsaka that his youngest son is an unemployed bum who is rarely home, and his eldest son and his family packed up their valuables and left Fuyuki within an hour of Matou-o's death…”

"Alas, the descendants are unfilial."

"It has to be Mr. Tohsaka; he handled this matter with such clarity and efficiency!"

Although what you all said is correct.

But why are you speaking in Northeastern dialect?

Adam almost lost control of his carefully maintained expression.

When he saw the black-and-white photo of Zang Yan smiling in the middle of the mourning hall, he finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He must have read a lot of fan fiction in his past life.

I've seen at least 80 of the scenes where they kill the old bug to save Sakura, if not 100.

But he had never actually seen anyone hold a funeral for the old bug after he died, especially since the organizer was Tokiomi Tohsaka... It's no wonder that anything could happen in this worldline that Chloe reshaped.

Adam's laughter drew frowns from the others.

Tokiomi Tohsaka walked over and recognized Adam as the Einzbern representative who had covered for Kiritsugu Emiya.

He straightened his chest, raised his chin, and coughed a few times.

On the one hand, they need to demonstrate the Tohsaka family's local power dynamics, and on the other hand, they need to subtly give the Einzbern family a warning.

But before he could even speak, a mortgage contract and a debt transfer agreement were slapped in his face.

The elegant Tokiomi almost collapsed to his knees.

"I'm your creditor now, so show some respect!"

Adam chuckled and said, "As expected of the Tohsaka family, they always mess things up at crucial moments. I never imagined you would dare to gamble the entire Tohsaka family's fortune into the real estate market. You're really in trouble now, Tohsaka?"

"I...I'm having bad luck."

Tokiomi Tohsaka wiped away his cold sweat with a wry smile.

It is now 1994, and three years ago, Tokiomi Tohsaka went all in on his fortune in the booming real estate market.

Instead of making a fortune, he was met with the bursting of Japan's bubble economy, a rapid collapse in land and stock prices, a 50% drop in stock market value, and a 70% fall in housing prices. In addition, he had spent a huge sum of money to purchase sacred relics...

Actually, there's no need to wait for Rin to take over.

The Tohsaka family is now living beyond their means and is heavily in debt.

Tokiomi's last act of defiance was probably to hold a banquet for Zouken Matou without accepting any money as a gift.

Adam waved for the two foodies to go inside and eat, while Adam and Tokiomi Tohsaka chatted outside about Zouken Matou. Although he already knew what had happened, he still wanted to hear others tell such a ridiculous story again.

"How did the old bug die?"

"Old bug?"

"You still don't know that the Matou family's magic has long since been changed to insect magic?"

Tokiomi was slightly surprised; he really didn't know about this.

"Matou-oku died in an accident."

He spoke with a heavy heart, slowly recounting the police investigation results.

Just a few hours ago, a salesman somehow bypassed the magic that kept strangers away and sneaked into the Matou family's house to sell his products. No one was home at the time, so the old insect probably wanted to use insect magic to harm people.
