"Hey Girls." I greeted Artoria and Raikou who were sitting on the couch watching TV.
Surprised, they turned from the cooking show they were watching.
"Wilhelm."
"Master."
They both perked up upon seeing portal into the room.
I stretched with a yawn, taking an empty seat.
"Have you finished with what you needed to do with Yasaka?" Artoria asked.
"Yes, I'm curious about the Nurarihyon here as well." Raikou sounded just as interested.
"Yeah, we were there pretty late. They were celebrating and we got swept up into it and only left when Kunou couldn't keep her eyes open. So I stayed the night over at Yasaka's." Fluffy tails were always nice to sleep between. "Good news is, things are probably as good as they can get between both factions and from what Yasaka told , the festival is going to start at the end of the week."
"I look forward to partaking in the festivals." Artoria smiled warmly.
"It feels so nostalgic." Raikou looked wistful. "And how was the other Youkai leader?"
"He's.....an interesting character. And I can say for a fact that he's sandbagging around and is much stronger than he lets on. His ability is terrifying and he snuck up on my several tis without being able to notice."
"Master, you should be wary of him regardless." Raikou warned, perhaps leaning more on her own experience.
Yeah, I rembered she said that our version could hide from the world if he chose. Ti had no effect and such if he desired it.
Fucking terrifying.
Thankfully, I think this Nurarihyon is nowhere near that level.
"And there were no problems that occurred?" Artoria asked.
"There was, but it's not sothing that needs imdiate action." She needed to know, but I wanted to make her understand it wasn't her fault that this was happening. "Oh, I almost forgot. I also t with Sun Wukong."
".....the Monkey King from legends?" Raikou tilt her head.
"One in the sa." I nodded. "Long story short, apparently my actions have caused Indra so manner of...annoyance since his clairvoyance isn't seeing properly."
Kind of funny considering he's Raikous father.
"You are not showing any signs of panic, so I assu that it is not a imdiate problem?" Artoria asked while Raikou looked worried, but silent.
"Pretty much." I scoot closer to her. "With every Patheon up and about, he can't really send his people over here to cause problems. Oh, on a side note, Cao Cao was one of his apparently, even if he had no hand in what the idiot was doing."
"....I am not surprised." Artoria sighed.
"Oh." I perked up upon rembering. "The Monkey King also gave this as an apology." I took out the Peach.
"I-is that what I think it is?" Artoria crawled over to where I was, and even Raikou was up on her feet, only a few inches away from what I held in my hand. I couldn't fault them it was a very tempting item I acquired.
"A peach of Immortality." I nodded. "Granted, it's...a little defective, but it's about half as good as the lowest level one in legends."
".....A-are you going to eat it?"
"You're drooling." I pointed out.
"I am not." Said the Servant with drool falling down her chin.
I quickly put the Peach away as I feared it might enter the abyss that was Artoria's stomach. She looked depressed once it disappeared and I couldn't help myself. I moved in quickly, my lips claiming hers with my tongue sneaking into her mouth.
"Mmmfh!?" She made a surprised noise before relaxing and enjoying the mont.
"Tasty." I grinned at her as we finally parted. I did so love seeing her get so flustered. I glanced at Raikou who had been looking at us. "You're next." I didn't give my Servant a chanced to respond before pulling her down to , taking her just as I did Artoria.
Having her sink into my arms always gave a warm feeling.
"Master~" Raikou cooed when herlips were freed from mine.
"Just a nibble?" Artoria, uncharacteristically pouted, wiggling into my side as Raikou occupied my arms.
"I have a plan for it, and you'll get to enjoy the taste still."
"Ooh?" Her eyes sparkled.
"I'm going to see about adding it to a batch of materials and make a wine." I explained. "I know you're not a big drinker but.."
"I do not mind wine." Artoria responded. "I have enjoyed wine much in the past and have a preference towards it."
That..... made sense. Yeah, not everyone who enjoys alcohol liked harder liquor.
"It's a work in progress, more a thought really. I don't actually know anyone who has the knowledge on how to make wine from an Immortal fruit." Maybe I should ask Izzy for advice?
"By the way – " I kissed Raikou's nose. "How was eting Izanami for the first ti?"
"She was pleasant." Raikou responded with a smile. "I can see why you are fond of her. It was amusing to see a Goddess try her best to appear non threatening."
"No longer hesitant about being friends with her?" I questioned. Izzy was a good friend of mine and I didn't want any contention there between them if possible.
Raikou cutely shook her head.
"It was enjoyable seeing Rin stamr around her." Artoria giggled. "The others also seed to enjoy her presence."
That's good. I wanted my won to get along with my friends.
I did want to talk about other things, but for the mont, I opted to start exploring their bodies with my hands. And the looks they gave certainly showed they had no problem with what I was doing.
***
"I do not know how you convinced to do this." Artoria huffed, stepping through my portal.
"My charming smile." I offered as an plausible explanation.
"I believe it was the thing he was doing with his fingers." Raikou giggled.
"D-do not ntion that! I was swept up in the mont." Artoria turned a very bright red.
"I think your face was cute." Raikou smiled. "And the sounds you made were also adorable~"
Raikou teasing Artoria, I didn't know I needed this is my life until now.
Artoria could only just cover her face in embarrassnt.
"But in all seriousness, you said that Rin was doing things in her Workshop all day and you wanted to co along with during my errands."
Though, maybe there was so truth in Raikou's words. I didn't think she'd be bold enough to show off her panties to an audience when I got a little handsy. It just goes to show how comfortable Artoria had beco with my other girls. She didn't mind doing so light touching and letting another person hear her little moans.
And Raikou, well, she had almost no issue doing lewd things with if others were around. Well, others as in my other girls, I don't think she would appreciate being shown off to random people, not that I would want that either.
Hell, that whole thing with Scáthach, she was very into it.
"Must we see...her." Artoria huffed once more, seemingly cald down, if still a little red.
"I like her." I shrugged. "I think we're becoming fast friends."
"Very well." Artoria breathed out. "I suppose I do not.....despise her."
"Who are we visiting?" Raikou asked. "You rely said you were running errands and asked if we wanted to accompany you."
"A Servant in Artoria's War." I always was hesitant to reveal the identities of servants to other people, it was a personal thing in many circumstances. To know another Servant's na ant you knew very intimate things about them by way of the Grail.
"Caster." Artoria said dryly. "She is.....eccentric."
"...I believe can I feel a similarly to my own Caster." Raikou sympathized.
"But why did you not deposit us at the temple where she resides?" Artoria looked at curiously.
"Well, I wanted a nice moonlit walk with two beautiful ladies." I shot them a smile. "And admittedly, I do have things I need to reveal that concern us that Yasaka and I learned yesterday."
"I fear a sense of dread approaching." Artoria's expression turned serious. "You danced around it, I can assu it involves in so way as you have taken glances towards ."
"It does." I wouldn't hide it nor sugar coat it. She was an adult, and I wouldn't baby her. "The Pendragon incident had unforeseen consequences."
"Of course it did." Artoria groaned, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "I am still dealing with issues that are accompanying that ss. Please, just be blunt about it I wish not to be held under bated breath."
"The Fae had been moving since then." There was no more blunt way to say it than that. "Nurarihyon told us he discovered several Faeries that had replaced so of his people in secret. I assu that Yasaka is talking to the others and asking for help. Scáthach should be knowledgeable on their ploys and magics to find any spies."
Atleast, that was what I got from our talk before.
"But why would –" Artoria paused, a realization dawning on her. "It's my fault. I used my Noble Phantasm – both of them so blazingly."
"Perhaps, but no one's blaming you." There was no denying that her actions were likely what led to this, but it wasn't her fault in the way of bla. "And if I see you start sulking, Yasaka gave permission to spank you."
"I am doubtful that Yasaka told you to do such." Artoria gave the driest look.
"You wanna bet?"
"....I retract my previous words." There was a little bit of amusent in her tone, so I suppose I did my job correctly. "Ignoring my sword for what it is, Avalon may be the more pressing issue. It is not only my greatest defense, but it is also a taphysical link to the reverse side – to Avalon that resides within the Fae Realms."
"Yup, I thought so as well. There is no doubt that they noticed a new pathway that opened up to their ho that also just abruptly appeared with little to no reason."
"Perhaps I should –" Artoria was abruptly cut of, her face pushed between two very large breasts.
"I don't want to see you depressed." Raikou hugged her tight, without any prompting from anyone else. "No one blas you."
Raikou being affectionate with other people was wholeso.
"Y-you made your point." Artoria managed to get out while suffocating in the best way.
Raikou set the shorter girl back down.
"I don't think she did, you should kiss just to be sure." They both slowly turned towards , seemingly confused. "I don't know why you're surprised I would say sothing like that." I shook my head. "You should know what I'm about at this point."
"D-don't make it sound like we're in the wrong!" Artoria squeaked.
"Master is being naughty." Raikou blushed a little.
The thought of them making out was hot though.
One day.
"Feel better?" I bumped into my beautiful knight.
"I am mortified, confused, embarrassed and still.... Aroused." She added the last word very quietly. "I do not believe I have room to feel depressed or upset right now."
"A job well done then." I said proudly.
"You are ridiculous." She huffed, barely hiding that growing smile of hers.
"If it makes you feel better, I'll be as ridiculously as you need to be." I stopped my teasing and took her in for a hug without any lewd thoughts. She sunk into my arms happily, a content look on her face.
"Thank you." She said quietly. "However, I believe we should et the Witch before she gets impatient and moves to us."
"That's.... a good idea, she'd probably be irate if we just lingered while not heading her way." dea didn't like being forced away from her ho.
I snuck my hand over to Raikou's interlocking our fingers. I didn't want her to feel left out. I was being affectionate with Artoria because I knew she would start self-deprecating otherwise.
Though I could tell by the look on her face that I might have been overthinking things.
***
"Well, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." I recognized the voice of Assassin as we approached the steps of the temple. "And the little Lioness."
"Sasaki Kojirou." Artoria adopted a smile. "It is nice to see you well."
A respect between forr enemies.
"And a new face." He looked towards my Servant. "It's an absolute pleasure to et such a beautiful woman."
"My woman." I clarified, feeling a little possessive.
"Unfortunate." He gave up easily. "Sasaki Kojirou, Servant Assassin." He held out his hand in greeting.
"Minamoto-no-Raikou, Servant Berserker." She took his hand politely.
"It's a pleasure to et another from this country." He smiled. "Perhaps we should spar at so point."
"I would not be against such a thing." Raikou nodded.
She wasn't quite the battle maniac like so of us were, but she held a high opinion of martial prowess and honing of ability. If she could help it, she wouldn't fight, but a friendly spar would be sothing she could enjoy every now and then.
"Caster in?" I asked.
"She is." He nodded. "Do you wish.....to pass by." He had that sa glint in his eyes.
"Really, going to do this now?"
"I am the guardian of the gate." He chuckled.
"You know, I could have just teleported right to the Temple." I pointed out.
"That is a fair point." He rubbed his chin. "I shall let you pass if –"
I took a Jar of Sake out and tossed it to him.
"Have a nice evening." He quickly stepped to the side.
He was easy to please. Honestly, he would have let us go regardless, and I would have given that Sake to him regardless, but it's just a little ga we played.
"This is a pleasant temple, however, there is a lingering stench of resentnt in the air." Raikou scrunched her nose.
"An unfortunate happenstance of our Grail War. An Evil God lingered within the grail and attempted to manifest upon granting a wish. Its...filth left scar upon this town. It is worse when approaching the park in the city." Artoria was the one to explain.
"That's one way to put it." dea's voice echoed out, standing at the peak of the ascending stairs. "Little Artoria, you ca back~"
"Caster." Artoria groaned.
"And a new one." She visibly gave Raikou and up and down look. "My....I have so many ideas looking at your figure. I would love to get my hands all over you~"
"That sounded lewd." I stated.
"I know." dea smirked.
"And he calls you a friend for a reason." Artoria sighed.
"My body belongs to my Master." Raikou replied to the Witch.
"Fufufu, how delicious." dea didn't seem dissuaded in the slightest.
"Can we co in? Got so stuff I wanted to talk to you about." May as well get this underway.
"I suppose." She shifted deanor quickly. "My Husband is inside, so behave yourself."
"Fiancé." I corrected. "And I always behave myself."
She puffed up with a huff but didn't correct .
"Master, it's not good to lie." Raikou chastised.
"Yes, Wilhelm. Please don't say such false statents." Artoria agreed.
"Fufufu, you both are definitely welco in my ho." dea smiled brightly.
"This is for the kissing thing earlier, isn't it?"
They didn't answer, but followed after Caster as she entered the temple. Her ho as she called it, even though there were other monks still living there.
She led us through a few different rooms until we ca to an area that was obviously her own. Sliding a door open, we were greeted by the sight of another person siting at a table in the middle of the room.
"Hubby~" dea ran to his side, draping herself over him. He didn't even react to her shenanigans, calmly drinking his tea.
"Caster, we have guests." His voice was very even. "Please prepare spots for them."
"Of course, hubby!" She sprang to her feet, preparing more tea apparently.
The three of us wordlessly slid into the opposite spots of the table from him.
"Master of Caster, it's been awhile." Artoria was the first to address him.
"Yes, Saber." His reply was simple. He didn't seem like a man of many words. "How is my forr student?"
Artoria's expression softened. "Rin has been doing well after graduating. She is attending various magical schools and continues to pursue her education."
The way she worded it was specific.
"Good. She was an intelligent and well behaved student." He nodded in approval.
If I rembered correctly, he was Rin's teacher at school and happened upon Caster and beca her Master.
Talk about an awkward start to a relationship.
"Tea is served!" dea placed us individual cups, plopping down next to her Master after she finished.
"I suppose I should introduce myself." I wouldn't want to be impolite. "Wilhelm Henry Schweinorg. This is my servant." I gestured to Raikou. "And I'm currently dating Artoria."
He blinked briefly at that but just accepted it. The faintest of red appeared on Artoria's cheeks again. I swear, this girl was far too easy to get flustered considering her past. But it always made feel good when it happened.
"I am Minamoto-no-Raikou." She said briefly. I noticed that while her Mad Enhancent was gone and she wasn't dismissive of everyone but , it still took a lot for her to care about other people outside of our circle.
"Greetings to your honorable self." He bowed his head slightly, an act of respect towards her. "I am Souchirou Kuzuki"
Raikou looked pleased with that introduction, a little smile forming on her face as she gave him a polite nod.
"And I'm dea of Colchis." dea sipped her tea. "Now, introductions are out of the way, whaddya want, brat?"
She was clearly talking to . "I wanted to extend you an invitation."
"You're finally getting married!? Oh, I have so many wedding dresses for Saber to try on!" She exclaid.
"Caster!" Saber squeaked. "W-we are not getting married!"
"Then I lost interest." dea deflated. "Just spit it out."
"Over in my birth world, there's going to be a celebration – a festival – in a sub dinsion created for the Youkai. I wanted you to co over with your Fiancé and have fun."
"....You're inviting us to a...party?" She questioned.
"You can look at it that way."
"Why?" She looked at my skeptically.
"Well, first off, you're my friend." I held a finger up, and she scoffed with an arm cross. "Second, I wanted to give you a.....inroad towards Atalanta if you wanted. I know it's been an awkward situation to navigate and from what I've understood it hasn't gone anywhere. And I don't want to stick my nose where it doesn't belong – already did that not too long ago and caused issues – so I just wanted to present the opportunity at the very least."
"And this is you not sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?" She snorted.
"This is being a concerned friend." I retorted.
She huffed. "I don't need your help."
"dea." Her master interjected. "Behave."
"Mou~ Hubby don't take his side!" dea whined.
"You have spoke of both Wilhelm and Atalanta on a few occasions." He closed his eyes, sipping his tea. "Don't dismiss them out of fear."
Huh, she told her fiancé about ? That made happy to hear.
"When?" She grunted.
"End of the week." I smiled much to her annoyance.
"Will it be safe?' Kuzuki asked. "I am not knowledgeable about many things. But I do not have a good opinion of Youkai based on stories."
"The leader there is Yasaka – a Nine Tailed Fox, she's also my woman. Not to ntion so other familiar faces will be up and about. If so idiot attacks or does sothing stupid, I can't speak for them. But for the general populace, there are plenty of humans that walk around with no issue."
"Acceptable." He replied bluntly again.
"Fine, I guess we're going on a date then." dea rolled her eyes and tried to sound annoyed, but it was failing horribly.
"Also, how would you like to get in a research project with and so other people?" It would be very beneficial if I had her help with our research.
"Research project?" She tilted her head. "What do you need my help with, boyo?"
"Well, it's complicated and would take awhile to explain. There are a few other people who will work at it from different angles, but for now, I would like your help crafting a Mystic Code with dragon parts."
"You want my help to create a Mystic Code with legendary materials?" She said dryly. ".....I suppose I could lend my aid since you would at least be working with sothing acceptable." And she wasn't totally salivating at the idea of working with Dragon Materials. "The Gods know you could use so real magical guidance." She added with a rather haughty tone.
Oh, so that's how it's going to be, huh?
"Souchirou Kuzuki." I looked towards him. "Permission to give your fiancé a purely platonic hug?"
"W-what!?"
"Granted." He replied.
"H-hubby!?"
"Get over here." I stood up, arms open.
"Get away from you brat!" She squeaked with a flustered look before teleporting away.
"There is no fighting it, Caster." Artoria calmly drank from her own tea, an amused smile on her face.
"Thank you." Kuzuki's tone still never shifting, but there was a hint of appreciation to it. "Caster pretends to be annoyed, she simply has difficult expressing her true feelings." He had the faintest hints of a smile forming on his face.
"It's my pleasure." I grinned happily, opening portal to where she teleported to.
Real Magical guidance, huh?
Gonna bully a witch.

Noncanon Omake – Gaining a 'System'.
"You know, Ddraig, it's days like this that really make appreciate life." I laid upon the grass lawn of my house, basking in the sunlight.
[Ah, lazing around, those tis are always enjoyable. Not a care in the world.]
I closed my eyes, letting myself drift off. I think I was about to fall asleep until sothing suddenly collided with . I felt a sudden pain in my head, like soone jamd a lego into my brain.
"What the devil!?" I shot up, looking around.
[What? What's wrong?"]
"I don't know, sothing suddenly hit .
[Ding!]
"W-what?"
[The hell was that?"]
[New host found. Synchronizing system.]

[Greeting, User! You've been chosen to be the next host to System 1.2039]
I opened my mouth and closed it again, seeing floating blue panels infront of my face.
"Yeah, no." I narrowed my eyes. "Fuck off."
[Perhaps the host doesn't understand the opportunity he's been given.]
"Uninstall." I commanded, seeing if that worked.
[Uninstall initiated, countdown to full removal in 30 seconds]
[30....]
[29....]
[Uninstall paused]
[System asks Host not to make any hasty decisions. The System can provide
the host with any number of boons.]
"Oh?" I quirked an eyebrow.
[This sounds sketchy as fuck] Ddraig stated.
"Yeah, my thoughts too, but let shear it out." I waived my hands about. "Oh 'great' system, what exactly can you do for , hmm?"
[The System is glad you asked. Do you crave power? Do you know that
you walk amongst the supernatural? Gods exist of every religion and
mythology! Step out from beneath their shadow! Don't be a helpless

"...I've killed Gods. I'm pretty damn strong. Hell, the dragon in my soul can hear you."

".....I already do that."
[The System doesn't understand.]
"I am a master of the Kaleidoscope, the operation and manipulation of parallel worlds. I've gone to many different worlds at this point and continue to do so." I explained.

[The System has more to offer! Do you desire won –]
"Let stop you right there." I interrupted. "I have a harem that I care very much about."

"I have tons of Divine weaponry and other such things."

"Learned to break the rules of reality by swinging a sword from an expert."

"Yeah, thought so." I laid back on the grass, closing my eyes. I ignored the count down, and continued to enjoy my lazy day.
