"We won't fight them because we don't need to fight them," Haruki explained with his eyes closed. "I think they are unsatisfied with their current master, Angra Mainyu. If things work out, which I'm sure will, we might get two more servants."
Nobunaga and Kagetora tried to talk in two out of three scenarios, instead of fighting them from the get-go. An odd decision from the chaotic battle junkies. And in the last scenario, Cu Chulainn provoked Kagetora into a battle. He didn't hear the content of their conversation, but this could only be caused by so disagreent with Angra Mainyu.
Semiramis widened her eyes. "I'm sorry for rushing to the conclusion."
dea touched her forehead and sighed. "Haruki-sama and two more won"
The sorcerer was having a little difficulty thinking about Haruki's future harem, which was essentially her family.
'I trust Haruki-sama's judgnt but will he be able to keep control with so many beautiful won around him?'
Semiramis pinched dea's waist. "What got you so cold? Master won't go to other won as long as we suck everything out of him."
She slowly and seductively licked his lips, as if imagining the scenario. She wisely disguised her attempt to reassure dea, and at the sa ti, revealed her desires for him.
Haruki rubbed the back of his head. He wasn't sure of his libido at this point. "dea, I got sothing for you."
He asked Arch to bring out the newly acquired Noble Phantasm. The Pain Breaker Noble Phantasm materialized as a smaller version of dea's current staff. While dea's staff was worn down, the staff in Haruki's hand shone with vibrance.
"Haruki-sama" dea slowly took the staff and inspected it from every angle.
"Where did you get this?"
"Don't worry about that. Check if you can use the healing spell on this Noble Phantasm?"
dea's lily version was from before the ti she got betrayed by Jason. Her love, despite being forced by Aphrodite, was pure. That sa love materialized as the Pain Breaker Noble Phantasm. Haruki wasn't sure if dea could use it.
"Semi, give your hand."
Semiramis bashfully extended her hand, only to feel a prick. She hastily pulled back as Haruki's scale cut her hand, bringing out blood.
"My master, you're heartless to use my frail body as a test subject?"
"It had to be you, Semi. It had to be you."
He seriously doubted he could cut his hand with his current stats, unless he went back to his room to retrieve his spear. Injuring dea was never the option, so Semiramis had to tank the bullet for his curiosity.
dea clenched her new staff. "May it beco a world where no one can hurt others and no one can be hurt Pain Breaker!"
A whirlpool of bright aura was created under her feet, and many bubbles spread around the kitchen. She raised the staff and gently waved it. Magical dust sprinkled from her staff and covered Semiramis. The forr empress' wound closed itself in a matter of monts.
"Wow, my pain is gone. dea brought to a world without pain and misery!"
dea felt like slapping Semiramis' grinning face. She didn't choose the activation chant for the Noble Phantasm, otherwise, the verses would be grimr.
"dea will be the healer and ranged nuker of the party." Haruki nodded. "Artoria will be a tank and damage dealer hybrid. dusa and Cu Chulainn will be pure DPS. Emiya, well, he will do his own thing."
Semiramis pointed at herself, doubt filling her eyes. "What about ? What role am I playing in the greatest Holy Grail War?"
"Well, you'll sit on my lap and advise ."
"As long as it's within the exquisite chambers of my Hanging Gardens of Babylon."
"It won't be possible to make your Noble Phantasm in ti." Haruki shook his head. "Angra Mainyu won't give us four or five days. We have to leave your Noble Phantasm out of our strategies."
The fact that Angra Mainyu hadn't sent servants to his doorstep was already a miracle. Nothing stopped Angra Mainyu from echoing the first hymn of the war. This silence only ant two things Angra Mainyu orchestrated so machinations behind his back or Gilgash gave them so ti to prepare. It was sothing the arrogant demigod would do out of increasing his entertainnt value.
"Tsk. I understand," Semiramis agreed, albeit reluctantly. Her greatest authority would go without making a magnificent appearance. It was a mont of disappointnt. "My master, go before you disappoint more."
"You sulky little." Haruki pulled her by her hand and gently smacked her ass. "Your Noble Phantasm will be helpful later on, trust . You need to work on other tasks, like prepping the other servants for the offense. Well, if the materials co here, you can dedicate your ti in creating your Noble Phantasm."
He was in the dark about three enemy servants. That gave him no excuse to be unprepared in case of a sudden attack. Being prepared was far better than running around like headless chickens.
"My ti has coth to be your general. dea, my beautiful friend, will you assist ?"
"I see no reason to reject your plea."
"Thank you. Thank you."
Haruki smiled at their surprisingly amicable relationship. Sakura got along with dea and his mother. dea got along with Sakura, Kaede, and Semiramis. His mother shared a family-like bond with Sakura and a sowhat good relationship with dea. And Semiramis was friends with dea, an acquaintance with Sakura, and a complete stranger with Kaede.
'There won't be much enmity between them.'
His harem life was set for now. The sa couldn't be said about his future lovers, however.
"I'll go spar with Artoria then."
A spar with Artoria might be fruitful. He might even get to know more about the Mana Burst Skill.
dea smiled and rubbed her hands on her apron. "Don't take too long. Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Got it."
Haruki exited the kitchen and walked down the hallways. The wind caressed his hair, indicating the presence of his beloved mother.
"Haru, co to your room. We need to talk."
"Can it wait?"
"Of course I'll trap her in the anti."
"Trap who?"
"Haha, nothing. No need to worry about it. Enjoy your sparring session!"
Haruki put her suspicious acts behind her and opened the dojo's door. The wooden floor stretched across an area more than twice the size of his academy's dojo. In the center of this vast space, Artoria sat on her knees, eyes closed as if she were ditating. Her delicate face was worth admiring.
Still, Haruki didn't feel like going crazy over her. Artoria was a little young for his taste even though she might be almost the sa age as him. Her body stopped aging the day she pulled out Caliburn from the stone.
'I kinda want to see her lancer version.'
"Ufufu." Arch giggled, looking awfully happy for so reason. "You should have summoned her Lancer version then. Wait, this Holy Grail can't do that!"
'Fuck you.'
"Co to my room."
Haruki blinked his eyes in succession. Arch beca bolder after being treated as air for a night.
'Sure. Bring over to your room when I sleep.'
A long, awkward silence ensued. Arch may have used up all the courage in her invitation. Haruki shook his head. Silencing the Goddess of Dragons and Luck was a child's play on his part.
