"Calm down, Artoria. They will all be fine. dea, can you explain in more detail why Lancelot obeyed you? You used Ruler Breaker on him?"
Hearing what her master said, Artoria was confused.
Why was he so confident that Irisviel and the others were fine?
That was a Servant of the Berserker class and his identity was one of her knights, Lancelot!
He was so strong how could those won defeat him?
"You guessed it right. Actually..."
From dea's explanation, apparently it was shortly after Caster was killed last night. She happened to see Berserker and tracked his master's position with her magic.
His master's identity was unknown, he seed to be just a random person chosen to replace the Matou family's representative in the Holy Grail War.
dea killed him and stole his contract with Berserker using Ruler Breaker.
That was why currently, Berserker or Lancelot was under her control.
"Then, quickly use your Command Spell to stop him!" Artoria shouted at the blue-haired woman.
dea glanced at the Legendary Knight King with a frown, she did not like being ordered around but replied, "It may be too late and he is a Berserker, a Command Spell is even difficult to stop him. For your information, I only got two Command Spells from the forr Berserker master and when I used it for the first ti, it failed because the command I gave was too specific."
"Just order him to teleport to your side! I rember the forr Berserker seed to do it last night."
"Ah, there is a way like that." dea made an innocent expression.
Artoria placed Excalibur near her neck and irritably said, "Are you playing around? Master, let's just kill this evil woman."
"Who are you calling an evil woman?! You think you could do better if you were in my position, King Knight? Ah, you can do it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been killed by your own son!"
Being called a wicked woman was only slightly worse than the Treacherous Witch and touched dea's pain point.
She mocked Artoria back and talked about Mordred.
However, she did not know the person she was referring to was not a son, but a daughter who often disguised herself as a man.
She was similar to Artoria.
"Mordred is not my son... he is the Homonculus that Morgan created using my genetic material."
Artoria's face darkened slightly as she rembered Mordred and her half-sister.
Those two people were the main reason for the downfall of Celot and herself as King.
She looked at dea coldly, Excalibur almost slicing her neck.
dea was not afraid, she was willing to bet that Eiji would not let his another servant kill her.
If not, she wouldn't mind dying either.
"Both of you, that's enough. We'll go straight back using teleportation magic and see what Berserker's situation is now."
Eiji stood between the two won and hugged their waists.
Such physical contact from the opposite sex made Artoria's and dea's bodies stiffen.
Eiji dared to utilize them simultaneously in this situation.
dea couldn't even believe it, did teleportation magic require physical contact with each other?
Back to a few minutes ago.
In front of the house gate.
"Grrraaah!!"
Berserker roared and swung his sword.
*Boom!*
The gate of the house was shattered into pieces.
Irisviel, Aoi and the others panicked of course. Just as Eiji and Artoria left, the enemy attacked them.
"Mom, it's a... A servant!" From the window, Rin looked at Lancelot's figure wrapped in jet-black armor and black aura with fear.
"Rin! We need to get away from here!" Aoi pulled her daughter's arm back. They moved away from the front door of the house.
As Berserker approached the house step by step.
Everyone gathered in the backmost room and near the swimming pool.
"It's still morning, a Master dares to have their Servant attack..." Irisviel complained but there was also anxiety on her beautiful face.
She was just a forr Homonculus who was raised to be a Holy Grail vessel and although she had combat skills, she knew she was no match for a Servant!
She was not like her man who could defeat servants easily.
"Irisviel-sama, I will try to distract the servant to buy so ti before Eiji-sama and Artoria-sama return."
Maiya held a pistol in her hand and was ready to sacrifice herself for everyone's sake.
But Irisviel restrained her wrist, "No! Maiya, you will die!"
"But Irisviel-sama..."
"Eiji has a strong army, so of them should be here to protect us."
She said that even though she was not sure if Beru and the other shadow warriors were around here.
"Really?" Not just Maiya, Aoi and Rin were also doubtful.
Irisviel nodded and wanted to say yes. But Rin suddenly shouted, "Wait, where's Sakura?!"
Hearing this, everyone in the room suddenly realized that one of them was missing.
Aoi's face paled slightly, she imdiately ran into the surrounding room, "Sakura! Sakura, where are you?!"
However, her other daughter did not answer.
She didn't seem to be around.
Or maybe she was kidnapped?
Aoi staggered and Maiya caught her body.
Rin was worried and wanted to comfort her mother. However, Berserker's roar sounded again.
"Aaaargh! Aaaargh!"
Even so, the roar was different from before.
He sounded like he was in pain.
"..."
The won in the room looked at each other and driven by anxiety to find one of her daughters, Aoi was the first to run forward and see what was going on.
They were all shocked.
That was because in front of the house, Sakura was facing off against a Berserker!
"You're a pathetic mongrel."
Perhaps because she had heard Eiji refer to Zouken as a mongrel, she imitated him.
Although her figure was smaller than Berserker, she looked at him with a condescending and indifferent gaze.
She did nothing but stand, but anyone could see that there was sothing wrong with her shadow.
Sakura's shadow was so large that it covered half the yard. Countless black tentacles made of her own shadow wrapped around every part of Berserker's body and pulled him down as if to drown him.
The Shadow, it was one of the abilities she possessed as a person who possessed the power of All the World's Evils— Angra Mainyu.
Her shadow functioned as both a physical and magical substance. It had the ability to devour almost anything, including physical matter, human souls, and even Servants.
Servants caught in it would be absorbed and their souls beco part of it. Of course, Sakura wasn't negatively affected, she just grew stronger.
Not only that.
By absorbing Servants, she could be able to corrupt them and turn them into dark versions of themselves (like Dark Saber/Saber Alter in the original work), who were then under her control.
Sakura wondered should she do it?
"Rrraaagh!"
Lancelot roared louder, he thrashed and tried to escape the shadow beneath his feet.
His sanity was very low due to the effects of Mad Enchannt, but that didn't an he was stupid. He realized that the longer he was held in this position, his magical energy was drastically reduced.
He used one of his Noble Phantasm, Knight of Honor. This skill allowed him to take any object, be it a firearm, iron pipe, lamppost, or even a modern fighter jet, and turn it into a D to A ranked Noble Phantasm.
In his current situation, Lancelot was trying to turn all the tentacles and shadows under his feet into his own Noble Phantasm.
It could be done but Sakura's magical power was superior to his.
Angra Mainyu's power basically made her have an almost unlimited supply of magical energy.
Lancelot was helpless.
He was defeated by a little girl!
"Hehe, I've decided. I'll turn you into my Servant and give you to Onii-chan."
"That way, Onii-chan will praise Sakura, right?"
Sakura giggled but her expression and smile would make most people including Rin shudder.
Yandere, she was a yandere!
"Grrrkh! Grrrkhhhh! (Yaro! Yaroooo!)"
If Lancelot could speak, he would beg Sakura to stop. Please stop harassing him in this way, it was insulting his dignity as a knight.
Only Artoria was allowed to insult him and trample him, he would have been happy because it was like a punishnt for him.
However, now he was like a toy or a gift that Sakura would give to her older brother.
He was very reluctant.
"Stop howling, you'll annoy the neighbors."
"You really are a mongrel, submit to and be my gift to Onii-chan~"
Sakura increased her magical power output, her absorption speed beca faster and soon, Lancelot was enveloped in her shadow.
A few seconds later, all the tentacles returned to the shadow and Lancelot's figure knelt on one leg. He was now like a knight showing respect to his king.
He had been corroded by All the World's Evils and beca an Alter version of himself! But his appearance was not much different because since the beginning or rather when he was summoned as Berserker, his appearance was all black.
Seeing everything that happened, the won who were watching fell silent.
"S-Sakura, you actually defeated a Servant and subdued him?!"
Rin exclaid.
She rubbed her eyes and looked back at her younger sister with disbelief on her face.
Aoi was relieved, she was glad Sakura was okay and stronger than she thought.
Irisviel and Maiya were speechless.
"Rin, as you can see. His identity is a Servant of the Berserker class, Lancelot."
After absorbing Lancelot and transforming him into magical energy, Sakura also knew his identity.
Still, her answer made Rin feel a little dizzy.
Berserker, it was the most dangerous class among the other classes. That was because Servants of this class had the strongest raw power.
And her younger sister defeated such a creature?!
She doubted even her father could do the sa.
Sakura was stronger than their father.
This fact made Rin feel uncomfortable and envious. She too wanted to be that strong, but how?
Should she ask Eiji for help to—
"We're back, you all seem to be fine. I'm glad."
Eiji appeared with Artoria and dea by his side.
"Eiji!"
Rin blushed and reflexively called his na.
"Rin, did you miss ?" Eiji asked curiously.
The little girl seed to be thinking sothing about him.
"W-Why would I miss you? Hmph!"
Her reaction was tsundere as usual.
Seeing Berserker and the one kneeling in front of Sakura, Artoria and dea were surprised.
They wondered what had happened?
Irisviel explained to them and soon, they looked at Sakura with horrified expressions.
"Onii-chan, welco back. I have a gift for you."
Sakura hugged her brother's stomach, sniffed his sll and looked at him with a sweet smile.
In Eiji's eyes, it was a sickly smile that a yandere usually had.
"Oh, what kind of gift is it? Is it..."
He glanced at Lancelot who seed to have been corrupted and beca an Alter version.
[This is why I didn't worry about leaving Irisviel and the others behind when Berserker attacked them.]
[With Angra Mainyu's power, Sakura can easily defeat servants as long as they co into contact with her shadow.]
[She has beco one of the strongest existences in the world of Fate. But in order for Irisviel and the others not to get hurt in the slightest, I've actually placed Beru and a few high-level shadow warriors to be their guards.]
[So if Sakura doesn't move, they can defeat Berserker.]
Artoria Saber could now hear his inner voice and understood why he was so casual before.
But right now, her attention was focused on her knight and wondering what she should do about him?
"Un, Berserker has beco my servant and I can give him to you, Onii-chan."
"Sakura, you're a good girl."
"Hehe~"
Feeling Eiji's hand rubbing her head, Sakura narrowed her eyes like a cat.
The scene made Rin pout.
"By the way Eiji, who is this?" Aoi asked with her gaze fixed on dea.
"She's the servant that Counter Force sent to kill and Sakura. But don't worry, now she has beco my servant."
Eiji said that casually.
Aoi and Irisviel's lips twitched. Didn't that an there would be another new woman living with them?
Hearing dea originally wanted to kill her and her older brother, Sakura turned her gaze to her.
Her pair of red eyes and faint smile gave dea goosebumps. At first she doubted that the little girl was the one who defeated Berserker.
But now, she understood.
From within her, she not only sensed All the World's Evils, she also sensed magical energies that outnumbered her.
And even though she was a Beast, she could control her power well in human form.
Compared to other Beasts, she was harmless unless soone provoked her.
"I am dea, Magus of the Age of Gods. I now no longer have the idea of killing Eiji and a Beast— ahem, I an Sakura."
She tried to be polite to the won in front of her especially the little girl nad Sakura.
She didn't want to be corrupted like Berserker.
After dea introduced herself to everyone, Eiji also inford that from now on she would be living with them.
None of them were surprised.
Ah, except Rin.
"What?! You, you really think this house is an inn, right?!"
"No, it's a sanctuary for my family in this world and after the renovation this morning, there are many empty bedrooms so it's no problem."
dea: Your family? Do I belong? This...
Irisviel: Fufufu. This house is becoming more and more crowded, it'll be fun.
Artoria: I don't know what to say.
Maiya: Eiji-sama considers a mber of his family? I'm touched.
Sakura: Onii-chan... You're adding to your number of won again.
What they were thinking didn't escape Eiji, he knew it would be fine.
[Host, there's a yandere among them! Be careful not to get stabbed while you sleep.]
Miss System tried to scare him, unfortunately she didn't succeed.
Eiji wasn't afraid of yandere, he was actually entertained every ti he saw them.
"Mom, don't tell you agree?" Rin asked her mother.
Aoi disappointed her and replied, "Rin, stop acting like that. I certainly don't mind if Eiji wants dea to live with us."
"Why?"
Rin didn't understand, she felt her mother was siding with Eiji more and more. Just like Sakura, she was now crazy about him.
Was this okay for her father?
Should she tell him about her mother and Eiji's closeness?
She wanted to do that but what she didn't know was that her father had just found out from Assassin.
...
"What?! You're saying my wife doesn't just live with Rin, she also lives with several other people and one of them is a handso man?!"
As expected of a father and daughter.
Tokiomi's reaction to learning such a surprising thing was the sa as his first daughter, Rin.
Not long ago, he had just asked Kirei to send one of the Hassans to check on his family's situation.
Like a 'good' apprentice, Kirei did it for him and the results made him anxious.
Assassin saw the situation in Aoi's parents' courtyard from a distance right after Lancelot was defeated.
She also did not recognize Sakura as one of Tokiomi's long lost daughters.
But...
"Your Majesty, I still have other more important information." Hassan said while kneeling on one leg.
Tokiomi's face still looking green from the news he heard earlier, he frowned.
"What's more important than a man living with my wife, Assassin?!"
His emotions becoming unstable, he unconsciously raised his voice.
"Hahahaha! Tokiomi, you're currently looking very entertaining. Continue, keep entertaining this King."
On the other side, Gilgash laughed when he saw Tokiomi's reaction after finding out his wife might be cheating on him.
Tokiomi ignored the golden-haired man and tried to contain his anger.
He still needed Gilgash in the war that would continue tonight, he still had to be humble to him.
However, he glanced at Assassin as if urging him to answer imdiately.
Hassan understood and said, "Your Majesty, from the few people I saw. Three of them seem to be Servants, I even saw a Berserker kneeling in front of a girl who seems to be the sa age as your daughter!"
"!!!"
Not only Tokiomi, Gilgash and Kirei in the room were surprised.
What did that an?
It ant that Tokiomi's wife's residence was currently inhabited by three Servants and possibly their respective masters!
"Assassin, are you sure they are Servants? How can they live in my wife's parents' house?!"
Tokiomi was confused, he just wanted to know the current condition of his family.
But he didn't expect to get information about their remaining enemies.
"I'm sure, that's because among the three people including the Berserker, I also saw a golden blonde woman wearing a knight-like combat outfit, and a woman clothed like a witch."
"Is that Saber and one of them Caster? Wait, wasn't Caster already killed by Saber last night?"
Tokiomi rubbed his beard and expression thoughtfully.
Most servants of the Saber class were swordsn and Knight was one of their professions.
And Caster usually dressed like witches, most of them wearing robes and pointed hats.
"I also think that female knight is a Saber, but that female witch..."
"I'm not sure, Your Majesty."
Even Hassan was confused.
Tokiomi didn't bla him because they all felt the sa way.
"Interesting, let's attack your wife's parents' house tonight, Tokiomi."
Gilgash suddenly said that.
Rarely did he look so enthusiastic as he did now.
Tokiomi widened his eyes, he didn't answer right away and hesitated.
"Tokiomi, you seem to have a problem with my orders. Don't forget you pissed off with what you did last night."
Gilgash smiled but his eyes were not smiling at all.
In fact, he and Kirei had agreed to kill Tokiomi before tonight. But the information the Assassin had gotten made him change his mind.
He would let Tokiomi live a little longer so he could entertain him with his family drama.
