The Chaldea group watched from below as Adam and the three sisters interacted above them.
They could make out the general movents of the four figures, but the conversation itself was too far away to hear.
Ritsuka Fujimaru stared at the intimate way Stheno and Euryale clung to Adam, scratching her head in confusion before leaning close to [Mash].
"[Mash], those two Servants Adam just summoned… what's their relationship with him? Don't tell one of them is his girlfriend or sothing?"
Her expression carried a hint of real worry. She had finally found a guy she liked—had soone already claid him?
Mash and Olga Marie both perked up, ears practically straining to catch every word.
[Mash]'s face remained stiff as she looked at Stheno and Euryale.
Had anything actually happened between Adam and those two?
She hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but the evidence was everywhere: the little clues left in his room, the nights they never ca out… plenty of indirect proof that everything that could happen already had.
Damn it. The girls back at Chaldea had zero consideration for Senpai's stamina. No matter how exhausted he was, they just kept taking and taking until he was completely drained.
And here she was, fighting with everything she had to protect him and look after his health, only for them to swoop in and steal the rewards!
All of them loved sneaking into his room, huh?
[Mash]'s expression darkened into sothing dangerously close to a pout. She turned to Ritsuka with forced cheer.
"They're not Senpai's girlfriends!"
Ritsuka blinked at the sudden intensity, but quickly brightened.
"Oh, good! As long as they're not dating, that's fine."
She nodded happily. Olga Marie let out a visible sigh of relief beside her.
Mash's face stayed carefully neutral, giving nothing away.
By then Adam had already started walking back with the three sisters. He gently guided dusa forward.
"Let introduce you. This is the Rider of this Holy Grail War. Her na is dusa. After so… harmonious persuasion, she's decided to join our team."
He gave dusa a aningful glance, encouraging her to say sothing.
dusa opened her mouth, ready to refuse—she hated small talk and unnecessary complications. But she felt the familiar gazes of her two older sisters on her back and imdiately folded.
"Just as he said. My true na is dusa. If possible, please treat only as combat support."
The Chaldea group—and [Mash]—watched dusa officially join their ranks. [Mash] looked completely unsurprised.
Ritsuka gazed at Adam with open admiration.
"Wow, Adam! You actually turned an enemy into an ally. How did you pull that off?"
Olga Marie, however, had fallen into deep thought the mont she heard dusa's true na.
dusa? The snake-haired monster from ancient Greek myth? And he had brought her onto the team?!
How on earth had he managed it?
"This?"
Adam glanced at Stheno and Euryale.
"I have these two to thank."
Olga Marie felt the unmistakable divine aura radiating from the pair and couldn't hold back her question.
"Adam, what are the true nas of these two Servants you summoned? Or is it just my imagination… because I'm sensing divine presence from them as well."
"You're not mistaken, Director. They really are goddesses." Adam answered calmly. "Their true nas are Stheno and Euryale."
The mont Olga Marie heard the nas, everything clicked. No wonder dusa had switched sides so easily—she had run straight into her older sisters.
"That explains it…"
Bloodline suppression from big sisters was apparently a universal force.
Ritsuka's eyes sparkled with excitent at the revelation of two actual goddesses.
"Goddesses?! That sounds incredibly strong! With gods on our side, we can just walk all over this Singularity, right?!"
Olga Marie and Mash both turned hopeful looks toward Stheno and Euryale.
Adam glanced at the two goddesses, rembering exactly what their divinity specialized in, and opened his mouth only to close it again.
"Well… if all the enemies in this Singularity happen to be male… then yeah, maybe we could stroll right through."
But the mont he thought of Artoria Alter—the Saber Alter—he imdiately reconsidered. No, that definitely wouldn't work. They would still need Morgan.
Stheno and Euryale were indeed goddesses, but if you judged them purely on combat ability… their contribution was basically zero.
Their true power lay in their overwhelming charm toward n. A single glance could bring any male to his knees.
Of course, that only worked if the target had no resistance. Soone like Lancelot would still be useful even with his defenses.
The problem was that the two goddesses had spent most of their charm on Adam himself. Every single one of these girls was so high-maintenance.
Euryale imdiately frowned at Ritsuka's first words about sending them into battle.
"How rude. You can't just demand goddesses solve all your fights the mont you et them."
Stheno smiled gently and cald her sister.
"Easy, Euryale. Mortals instinctively assu gods are all-powerful—it's perfectly normal."
She turned back to Ritsuka with a graceful smile.
"We may be goddesses, but we're not the combat type. So please don't count on us for fighting."
Adam suddenly rembered sothing and pulled both sisters closer, murmuring quietly to them.
Ritsuka, Olga Marie, and Mash couldn't hide their disappointnt. Looked like they wouldn't get to coast after all.
Still, they quickly pulled themselves together. They had a mission to restore the Human Order. They couldn't rely on Adam forever.
Besides, he had already summoned so many Servants—three now, plus [Mash] made four. And three of them were literal god-level Servants.
He couldn't possibly summon any more… right?
Surely not.
