Chapter 1434: Tease and Punishment
The restless night finally ended, and at the end of the war, the sky slowly turned bright, announcing the arrival of daylight.
On the battlefield, the homunculus of the Yggdmillennia clan didn't take a rest and cleared the areas which were used as a battlefield.
Not only did they need to count the number of casualties, but they also needed to restore the land to its original appearance.
Otherwise, before long, the situation in this place might be reported on TV, and the existence of Magus might be known to the world since it was exposed, they couldn't let that happen, so that was why the homunculus cleaned the battlefield.
It was when the homunculus cleared the battlefield, a major event had been discovered.
"Da... Patriach Darnic was killed!"
In such a panic-stricken shout, members of the Yggdmillennia clan found Darnic's body.
Seeing that unwilling face, eyes widened, even the heart was plucked away, and the body was covered with blood, even the Magus who had done a lot of indescribable for their research were silent.
They also couldn't find the trace of Vlad III, so everyone understood that in this battle, the Yggdmillennia's pillar fell, and the biggest trump card of the Black Faction also had been defeated.
Not only was the Holy Grail taken away, but there were only two servants remaining on the Black Faction.
Chiron, the Archer of Black.
Minamoto no Raikou, the Berkerser of Black.
In addition to these two servants, Siegfried as a Saber, Vlad III as a Lancer, and Avicebron as a Caster had been killed. Astolfo as a Rider had defected and Jack the Ripper was out of control.
On the other hand, except for Berserker of Red, none of the servants of the Red Faction had lost, there was even Shirou, which meant, that the Red Faction didn't lose their combat power at all in this Holy Grail War.
This situation made the Magus of the Yggdmillennia clan feel very desperate.
Even the Fortress of Millennia was completely destroyed, leaving only a pile of ruins.
The stronghold of the Black Faction had been taken down, in this situation, no one could even think that the Black Faction could win against the Red Faction.
Even so, there was a need to list out the unfavorable situation of the Black Faction at this moment.
Vlad III, who received a fame bonus, was dead.
The ritual which allowed the homunculus to provide a magic power to the servants of the black Faction had been destroyed, after all, the homunculus that was responsible for providing a magic power were all located in the basement of the Fortress of Millennia.
Now, that Fortress of Millennia had been destroyed, so without a doubt, all the homunculus were buried alive under that destroyed fortress.
Some people might be doubtful, but there was evidence, such as Fiore who felt that the consumption of her magic power had increased.
The consumption of those magic powers was all due to Chiron's fight.
So when they heard all of that, all of them turned into despair and knew that they had lost their chance to reverse the situation, however, something surprised all the Ygdmillennia clan.
"Long time no see, everyone!"
On top of the ruins of the Fortress of Millennia, Astolfo was enthusiastically waving his hand to everyone who had returned.
Next to him, there was an existence that was identical to the homunculus that was made by the Yggdmillennia clan.
"Please call me Sieg."
The homunculus looked at the many Magus of the Yggdmillennia clan with a face that was more mature than before, looked stronger than the rest of the homunculus, and he looked at everyone with a determined expression.
"I have decided to use this name for the rest of my life. This is also to commemorate the hero who entrusted his life to me."
The homunculus who called himself Sieg said to everyone in the Yggdmillennia clan.
Behind Sieg and Astolfo, there were many homunculi that lay on the ground one by one.
These homunculi were originally a group of homunculus that was used to provide a magic power to the servants of Black Factio, the homunculus who everyone thought that those homunculi were buried alive under the ruin of the Fortress of Millennia.
Seeing this, the rest didn't say anything, Fiore and Caules also understood everything.
"It seems that you have rescued all of your own people."
Foire sat in the wheelchair, looked at Sieg who was standing next to Astolfo, took a deep breath, and said, "Anyway, let us know what is going on?"
Astolfo, who should have defected, returned with a homunculus named Sieg, however, Haru didn't know it because he was still on the battlefield.
Haru looked at Raikou and knew that there was something wrong before since he noticed the magic power which was drained by Raikou at that time getting faster and faster. He was wondering what had happened back then but didn't expect that the battle between Raikou and Karna was almost at their end which scared him.
After all, Haru had decided to make Raikou his woman, if he lost her... he wasn't sure what he was going to do.
Haru also understood that he also underestimated Karna since, in the beginning, he thought that Raikou would be able to win with all the magic power that he had provided her, however, he forgot that Raikou was a Berserker class of servant and it was normal for her to lose her mind.
It might be because Raikou could talk to him normally that he forgot about that fact and he also forgot about the existence of "Oni" within her body.
Haru walked toward her slowly.
Raikou, who heard his footsteps, felt very nervous and didn't dare to look at him. She was wondering whether he was going to get angry at her, however...
Raikou could feel a warm hand on the top of her head, caressing her head gently which caused her to look up dumbly.
"I am sorry," Haru said with a pained expression.
If Haru used a Command Spell back then this thing wouldn't happen.
Hearing Haru's words, Raikou burst into tears and said, "No, it is my fault dear!" If he was angry, then she would apologize, but seeing the pained expression on his, she felt hurt too and cried. She understood that he loved her and she knew if she continued that battle before, she would lose and she would make him sad.
Raikou hugged him while crying.
Haru's height was taller than Raikou, after all, even if Raikou was on the tall side, she was still shorter than Haru.
Raikou was being hugged by Haru and her head was being caressed by him.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to cry. You're a hero. If anyone knows the strongest Mystery Slayer is crying on the chest of a man, then your image is going to be destroyed."
"Hmph! I don't care about any of that!"
Raikou didn't care about her fame at all since because of her fame, she had almost turned into an "Oni" before.
"If you cry like this then our position as a parent is going to be reversed," Haru said.
"Well... being the son and being pampered by dear is also good." Raikou acted very spoiled and lost all of her aurae as a cold-blooded commander.
"Good grief, what should I do with you?"
"Hehehe..."
Raikou chuckled, but then she was wondering whether Haru could accept the "Oni" part on herself, however, before she asked that question...
"Great!"
Raikou and Haru turned, and they saw Jeanne who was smiling and felt little relief.
"Fortunately, you didn't leave."
With those words, a smile appeared on Jeanne's delicate and pretty face, but then she quickly blushed when she saw both Raikou and Haru hugging each other.
Haru didn't let go of Raikou and hugged her waist, but he let out a sigh, looking at Jeanne. "You're late."
Raikou hugged Haru's waist and looked at Jeanne with a hostile expression.
"Sorry." Jeanne couldn't help but feel guilty since she was very late, but then she looked at Haru directly and said, "To be honest, I have a lot of questions for you now." She glanced at Raikou then looked at Haru again. "If you can help me then I will be very grateful."
"Only feel grateful? Don't you want to give me some gifts or something?" Haru asked with a smile.
Jeanne was startled since Haru's response was out of her expectation and asked, "What kind of gifts do you want?"
"How about a kiss on the cheek?" Haru asked with a cheeky smile.
"DEAR!!!" Raikou was desperate.
"What?!"
On the other hand, Jeanne was blushing and her head couldn't comprehend what was happening.
Haru chuckled and patted Raikou's butts from the back and said, "Well, I was just joking, but still, if your reaction is always this cute then I can't help but tease you, Jeanne."
Jeanne bulged her cheeks, felt annoyed, and protested. "Don't tease me!"
"But still, I would be very happy if I could receive a kiss on the cheek from you, Jeanne," Haru said with a serious expression.
"This...."
Jeanne blushed once again, and she wasn't sure what to do since she had zero experience in this area. She was confused and wanted to run away, but her duty as a Ruler didn't allow her to do so.
Looking at Jeanne's reaction, Haru really felt that this saintess was really cute.
Raikou wasn't happy, then when his eyes glanced at her, she turned in silence since, from her experience on the battlefield in her entire life, she could tell that her dear was going to punish after when they were alone later. She quickly hugged Haru's chest and hid since she tried to hide her grin, anticipating what kind of punishment that she was about to receive.
