Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: I Wasn't Talking About That Kind of Contract!

Feeling Lin Jiuan's face rubbing against her chest, sniffing his scent, Raikou felt her body growing hotter, her restored sanity seemingly rapidly fading.

"Berserker?"

"Master." Raikou's gaze was resentful, yet pleading. "I know a useless and sinful woman like me has no right to ask too much of you. But... Master, may I... use a more intimate form of address for you?"

"That's up to you."

"Can I call you Jiuan, or darling?" Raikou's voice was soft and gentle, like a mother speaking to her child.

Lin Jiuan, his attention focused on Rin's situation, didn't notice the problem. He didn't even really hear what she was calling him and just replied offhandedly, "Whatever makes you happy."

A joyous smile appeared on Raikou's face. She then asked cautiously, "Then... can you please not call me Berserker?"

"Hm?" Only then did Lin Jiuan snap out of his focus on Rin's situation. He looked up at Raikou in confusion.

Her face was noticeably redder, her breathing more ragged. She shook her head. "Please... please call me Mama. Can you?"

Lin Jiuan: "?"

Seeing his silence, Raikou held him even tighter, a hint of sadness in her expression. "Why? Why?" She seemed unable to control the surging emotions any longer. Tears welled in her eyes. "Jiuan, do you know... when Mama saw you being stepped on by that bad woman, how angry and helpless I felt? It's all because Mama is useless that you had to suffer such a terrible thing. But... Mama was also so jealous. So jealous I wanted to cry. Why... why wasn't that woman Mama? It should have been Mama forming a contract with Jiuan..."

"Raikou?" Lin Jiuan's throat moved, swallowing with difficulty. "Maybe... you should calm down a bit?"

"I am very calm." As if his words had an effect, Raikou did seem to calm down. She lowered her head, gazing with infinite tenderness and love at the boy in her arms, almost completely buried in her magnificent bosom. Her expression grew even more gentle.

But what's with your pupils turning into hearts?!

"Jiuan," Raikou stared at him for a long time, then spoke in a voice so gentle it could melt bones.

"...Yes?"

"Is it okay?"

"Is what okay?"

"To continue what we didn't do last night... and form a permanent contract with Mama."

"Of course it's okay... wait, Raikou, what are you doing?!" Lin Jiuan was stunned as he was suddenly pushed to the ground. When he saw Raikou's face, now completely filled with desire, he turned pale with shock.

"I'm sorry. Mama can't hold back anymore. Jiuan belongs to Mama."

Looking at Raikou, who had used her mana to tear off both her clothes and his, and was now descending upon him, Lin Jiuan was filled with grief and indignation.

"I wasn't talking about that kind of contract!"

The sounds of clashing metal echoed continuously on the great bridge. CLANG! Artoria used the force from the blow to retreat a few steps, but she didn't attack again. Instead, she looked around, her brow furrowed deeply.

"What?" Gilgamesh taunted. "Is that all you've got? How disappointing, Artoria."

Artoria ignored her, her brows knitting together as she seemed unable to find what she was looking for. Suddenly, she said, "Gilgamesh, are we forgetting something?"

"What?" Seeing her serious expression, Gilgamesh also frowned. "What are you talking about?"

"Where's Berserker?"

Gilgamesh fell silent. Just after she had dealt with Rider, Berserker had shown up, spouting some nonsense about 'Give me back my Master!'. As usual, she had taunted her a bit and then started beating her up. The woman's skills were decent. Though not as good as Rider's, her class affinity was different. As a Berserker, she was physically stronger and more suited for single combat, making her a much trickier opponent than Rider. It had wasted some time, and just as she was about to finish her off, Artoria had suddenly appeared. She had attacked her without a word. Naturally, Gilgamesh hadn't indulged her, ignoring the trash she could kill at any time to teach Artoria a lesson about the heavens and the earth.

And then... her home got robbed?

Gilgamesh and Artoria exchanged a look. A cold glint appeared in both their blood-red and dark-golden eyes. They clearly understood what the other was thinking. They simultaneously rushed towards the Einzbern castle.

"My baby is so good... ooh, so strong. Mama is so happy."

Hearing Raikou's gentle and joyful tone, Lin Jiuan lay on the ground, his eyes reflecting the boundless night sky. He tried to look up but was pressed down by her, his view of the sky completely blocked. His vision was filled with darkness, two great evils obstructing all sight. I'm tired. So be it.

"Baby is so full of energy." Raikou, however, looked at him with an expression of intense love. Although his face was one of complete resignation, she could feel it, a 100% connection, that he loved her body as much as she loved him. But although they had already done it once and successfully formed a contract... "But Mama wants more, much more of baby's love."

"Dammit, I've had enough!" Hearing her continuous, suggestive words, Lin Jiuan suddenly sat up, pushing her over. A four-foot man should not be kept down for long!

However, Raikou didn't resist. She looked at him痴痴地 (infatuatedly), a blissful smile on her face. "Mhm, just like that. Baby is so energetic."

"Energetic, am I?! HUH?! ENERGETIC, AM I?!"

"Mmm, baby is so strong, ooh..."

Suddenly, Raikou's hazy expression cleared. She shoved him off, and in the same motion,虚握住刀 (loosely gripped her sword), unleashing a torrent of lightning into the forest.

CLANG!

Thunder roared along with the wail of metal, and a large swath of trees was torn to shreds.

"How rude," Raikou said, her expression grim as she looked at the arriving Gilgamesh and Artoria. "To dare interrupt my time with Jiuan. Have you decided how you wish to die?"

Gilgamesh and Artoria didn't answer, their expressions even grimmer than hers as they looked at the white stains on her thighs and the 'Command Spell' pattern on her lower abdomen, which symbolized their contract.

"DIIIIIIE!!!"
