I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

"what happened?"

Rosser reached out and touched her forehead, asking with concern, "Do you have a fever? Should I have Du make you some fever-reducing soup?"

Gudako's whole body stiffened.

Don't mess with me, bro!

She felt a gaze that was scrutinizing her like a piece of meat. The girl, who was almost certainly the mastermind behind it all, was calmly looking at her with a smirk.

Don't laugh.

This is terrifying! Please, Matou-san, I don't taste good!

"Hey, the girl Onii-chan brought home this time is pretty too."

The girl with long, straight black hair smiled gently, her gaze soft as she looked at Gudako: "But... Onii-chan, you can't bully girls like that."

Don't be so gentle, it scares me.

It's just as frightening to show kindness to someone who is about to die.

With tears welling in her eyes, Gudako reluctantly choked back tears and resigned herself to her fate: "I won't lend you any more money, okay~!"

So please stop messing with me, or your yandere sister will really kill me.

Damn it, she had a strong feeling that as long as she kept pestering him, this evil god Sama would definitely lend her money. Five hundred thousand souls was too much, five thousand would be enough for her to draw cards.

When I finally get the super item I've been dreaming of, I can transform into a magical girl, pilot Unit-01, unleash Susanoo Gundam to become a god, and then close the door and release WarGreymon. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Transform into Super Gudako and smash all disasters to save the world!

Then go back to your own world, fight your way through the singularities, beat Goetia to his knees and repent for his sins, and then sell him to Rother, making a fortune again. It's perfect.

Moreover, these consumed souls will definitely thank her.

She rescued them from the clutches of the evil god and then sent them into the arms of the angel Rother; who knows, she might even get them a direct route to heaven!

So it's not too much to ask that these souls pray day and night in heaven for her to become rich and stay young and beautiful forever, is it?

It was clearly a win-win-win situation, but she only experienced the joy of winning twice. Why is that?

The orange-haired girl burst into tears, heartbroken at the thought of her happy life slipping away.

No, no, no—!

At this moment, it seemed as if snowflakes were falling, enveloping Gudako, making her appear even more desolate.

"That's it."

Rother's smile vanished, and he said rudely, as if he were a cold-blooded capitalist: "Then why don't you hurry up and help Rider lock those animals in the Seventh House, and then wait there?"

"How can my lackeys be so clueless? Don't they know they're being held hostage here?"

Are you a dog? You change your attitude so quickly.

Gudako muttered to herself.

However, it's good that we've escaped the sight of a certain behind-the-scenes boss; it's something to celebrate.

But... why does the way she's looking at me seem even scarier now?

"Why do I feel like you're trying to scam her?"

The goddess blinked her beautiful red eyes and hesitated.

"No doubt about it..."

The beautiful and kind-hearted Medusa silently led Gudako toward the Seventh Courtyard, which was where the fantasy species were imprisoned and also the courtyard with the largest spatial expansion, simulating the environment of the Age of Gods.

As the Servant of both Rose and Matou Kurumi, she knows their personalities all too well.

In Matou-san's eyes, Rosser was a flawless god; a god couldn't be wrong, therefore...

She looked at the girl beside her with pity, which made Gudako feel a chill run down her spine: "What's wrong, Miss Rider?"

This is a native Servant, Medusa, no less. Although she doesn't appear in the world as a goddess, she is still a top-tier Servant.

She could be crushed with a single finger, so could it be that he received orders from Matou Kurumi to take this opportunity to kill her?

"It's nothing, just be careful in the mansion and don't get lost."

The beautiful and kind-hearted Medusa gave these words of advice.

After all, the Matou mansion, under the arrangement of its enigmatic owner, had become almost like another world.

Some places are so dangerous that even she, as a native, dares not get too close. And if Fujimaru Ritsuka were to go to some places that are difficult to monitor, wouldn't Matou-san take the opportunity to kill her?

"Don't get lost?"

Wasn't that definitely a warning to her?

Gudako stood up straight and patted her chest, assuring him, "Don't worry, I'll stay far away from him."

'Did she misunderstand?'

Medusa was somewhat puzzled, but being a woman of few words, she remained silent.

"Follow me and follow my route."

"Hi!"

Gudako nodded immediately, indicating that she was well-behaved and sensible, but her eyes darted around and she occasionally wiped her drool.

too rich.

The evil god is incredibly rich!

The pavilions and towers are all made of whole pieces of wood cut from the branches of the World Tree, and the floor is covered with precious materials that are of the level of temple foundation stones and can be used as sacred relics.

The concentration of magic in the air was many times higher than it appeared from the outside. It liquefied and formed a dreamlike mist that swirled around the beautiful scenery. It was truly a fairyland.

Even the plants planted are all from various mythological species. For example, there are one or two plants of the elixir of immortality that Gilgamesh sought after traveling thousands of miles and overcoming countless hardships, only to be eaten by a toad.

As expected of an evil god, his entourage is truly grand.

Gudako wiped her drool and slapped her eager hand hard.

This isn't Chaldea; you'll get yourself killed if you try to fleece people here.

"It's just ahead..."

As the courtyard gate opened.

A "world" unfolded before Gudako, leaving her numb. She murmured as she turned back, "Are you sure this isn't the Sea Within Stars?"

What a sacred and pure world this is, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Patches of forests are scattered peacefully, and the emerald green trees are crystal clear, like the most perfect gems.

Several adorable little deer with watery eyes and round heads peeked out, curiously observing the visitors.

In the distance, a clear, pure emerald lake, like a mirror, ripples gently in the breeze. Beautiful, otherworldly fairies frolic on its surface.

Every now and then, dragons would soar by, and in the distant sea, there were also exaggeratedly huge shadows churning, probably the legendary sea monsters or Leviathans.

In short.

There is not a trace of filth in the entire world, a soft halo flows, and a pure air is pervasive.

With just breathing, Gudako felt all her impurities being washed away and the essence of her life being elevated. Of course, this was an illusion; in reality, she was about to die from magic poisoning.

"Ah... Help... Help me..."

Fujiwara Ritsuka clutched her throat, her eyes rolled back, and her face turned purplish-red: "I...I can't breathe..."

soon.

"I almost died! The environment in the Age of Gods is too exaggerated. No wonder Fei-ge only needs a little bit of the Fantasy Greatsword to become so powerful."

"After all, it is the power that gives birth to stars and the original power that constructs celestial bodies."

Gudako, who had been rescued by Medusa, looked down at the vast land and sighed in amazement.

And there are so many fantasy species, it's formed a perfect ecosystem.

Just how many fantasy creatures has this evil god hooked?

"By the way, Rider, how big is this alternate dimension?"

she asked curiously.

Medusa thought for a moment: "About the size of Eurasia? I remember Matou-san mentioned that."

Gudako rubbed her ears: "How much?"

"It's a bit larger than the Eurasian continent. In the Age of Gods, it would probably be a medium-sized island. Well, if you include the sea area, it's about one-third the size of an outer planet."

Medusa thought for a moment and then added, "It's the third largest in the mansion's courtyard."

“…”

No, what are you talking about?

for a long time.

Gudako took a deep breath: "So, this isn't another dimension?"

"Ah."

Medusa pointed to the hazy, indistinct shadow that disappeared into the depths of the sky at the edge of the earth and said, "It is an expansion space supported by the remains of four World Trees."

"Remains of the World Tree?"

Gudako fell into deep thought.

Did that evil god go and wait for Ragnarok, the beginning of the Norse mythology? Did he just carry the World Tree and run away?

No, he might even have instigated Ragnarok, setting the fire and then taking advantage of the chaos to kill off his own descendants.

Mashu, doctor, you might not believe it, but the evil god has hidden a divine world in his house.

Gudako took a deep breath.

What lies before me is a world in itself, a miniature world of the Age of Gods, filled with true ether and a paradise for countless fantasy species.

......

night.

Abandoned factory.

"So, has it been verified?"

Merlin smiled and said, "We've gathered a lot of intelligence."

"It can be confirmed that most of the information in the diary is true."

The girl with the side ponytail looked serious: "It's almost certain that the mastermind is Matou Kurumi, and she's not hiding anything anymore. She's almost achieved her goal."

"what?"

Merlin was genuinely taken aback this time.

What does "the goal is about to be achieved" mean?

Dr. Roman quickly asked, "Has she found a way to overturn human history?"

"Revolutionizing human history?"

Lancelot and Reinhard, who came with him, were also taken aback.

Is Kurumi Matou's goal to overturn human history?

"It seems you've had quite a few successes over there as well."

Kurumi smiled and said, "But that's not what we're talking about, Yukinoshita...!"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked unwell, her face filled with exhaustion and depression. She took out a file folder and poured out a pile of photos, news articles, and reports of various events.

Mashu and Jeanne instinctively flipped it open, and their expressions changed drastically in an instant.

Jeanne d'Arc was alright, but Mashu's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly: "This is all..."

The cruel display of human malice immediately reminded her of the singularity.

"These are all tragedies that occurred in the world outside of Fuyuki during these three years, with a focus on the Federation, South Korea, India, and Japan."

Hayasaka Ai calmly said, "These are all quite cruel and bloody cases, and full of ritualistic elements, but they are not conspicuous in these countries where cults are as numerous as hairs on a cow, so they have been well hidden for three years."
