Chapter 73: The Date at the Haunted House
[Kotomine Kirei has been thrown out by you as bait.]
[With not a single second spared to mourn the passing of Father Boar Kotomine and Devil Daughter Caren, the next person to appear is...]
Three minutes later.
"Finally safe now, huh?"
Hearing the bazooka explosion not far away, Eikou and Artoria panted as they spoke.
"Poor priest, he sacrificed himself so bravely just to shield us." Eikou said with sympathy, "May he rest in peace, amen."
"...That's impressive, betraying your teammate and then instantly forgetting about it."
Artoria was a bit speechless.
Eikou curiously looked around. He had this feeling that the place was familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
"By the way, where exactly is this place?"
Earlier, after being scared half to death by Caren's bazooka, they ran for their lives in such a panic that they didn't even know where they ended up — was this still the Chaldea academy?
What came into view was an old, abandoned school building.
Unlike the bright, luxurious lecture buildings of Chaldea, this one was made of real wood, radiating a nostalgic, ancient atmosphere, glowing with a warm golden hue.
"Ohya~ isn't this senpai, it's been a while since you came here, huh."
Suddenly, Eikou heard a sweet, bone-melting female voice calling out to him.
The moment he heard that voice, he immediately remembered where this was.
"Seems like this is…"
He turned his head cautiously, looking in the direction of the voice.
A purple-haired girl was slowly approaching.
She was wearing a black high-collar coat, a red ribbon tied in front of her chest fluttering with each step, the ribbon hanging down, swaying over her plump breasts tightly hugged by a white shirt.
Too… too big!
The ultimate "most huggable" type right here!
Eikou: "!"
She wore black high boots, walking step by step toward him, the wooden floor creaking beneath her feet.
Although her face was pure and cute, with silky purple hair tied with a red ribbon at the ends and soft, water-like purple eyes — the slight smirk on her lips revealed the bewitching aura of a little evil, making the "dangerous woman radar" in his heart scream like crazy.
When he saw her face clearly along with the surrounding scene —
Eikou gasped sharply in shock.
No wonder it felt familiar…
Isn't this BB's haunted house!
And the girl in front of him, gentle on the outside but radiating dark energy, was precisely that little evil BB!
Eikou and Artoria instinctively took a step back.
Since after turning into a pig, his line of sight had lowered, Eikou nearly caught a glimpse of the white panties under her super short skirt.
But… it seemed like she was wearing a white bodysuit, so technically it couldn't really be called panties?
No, she looks dangerous. I absolutely can't be thinking about nonsense right now!
"Eikou… do you know her?" Artoria asked.
"Let's just say I do."
"Can you be more specific? What kind of person is she?"
"She's a perfect existence that combines the vibe of a sweet girlfriend and a super large body type, perfectly balancing my two main preferences. I give her 94 points. If she's wearing a nurse outfit with white stockings, that could go up to 96 points." Eikou said seriously, "By the way, Minamoto no Raikou and Lion King are 97 points."
"I didn't mean specific in that way! Why are you even rating her! And clearly, compared to the sweet girlfriend vibe, you lean way more toward the body type!"
Artoria snapped back with sarcasm.
BB — the big-breasted, purple-haired girl with a bright smile — walked up to Eikou.
"Isn't this senpai, you haven't visited my haunted house in ages, have you?"
Oh my god, she recognized him with just a glance, this really was advanced Moon AI technology!
"But anyway, putting that aside, it looks like you two are in big trouble. And what's with this cute little piggy look? Seeing it makes me just want to bully you real hard."
BB said with her eyes narrowed, smiling.
"...Confirmed dangerous woman, Artoria, let's run!"
At this point, Eikou couldn't be bothered to talk anymore. Sensing danger, he knew it was time to bolt.
But BB raised her smooth, white-gloved hand and said: "Wait a minute, senpai, don't tell me you're not planning to change back?"
"What do you mean, could it be that you can help us return to normal?"
"Of course, because BB-chan is the perfect AI made to serve humans. A small matter like this is nothing at all."
BB smiled as she spoke.
"That's great, then I'll leave it to you, BB-chan!"
Eikou was instantly overjoyed, but quickly furrowed his brows,
"...But, what's the price?"
"There's no price at all. Since BB-chan's mission is to serve humans, how could I ask you to pay a price?"
"Don't say it like that, the more you talk the more terrified I get!" Eikou grew even more panicked.
Someone capable of creating such a malicious haunted house definitely had no good intentions.
"Well fine, there is indeed one small condition." BB continued, "After I help you turn back into a human, I hope you can complete the challenge of clearing this haunted house before the end of the semester."
BB pointed with her whip at the old school building in front of them,
"You haven't forgotten your previous experience in this haunted house, have you, senpai?"
Eikou thought to himself, forget it my ass! Because of that stupid 'catch Grand' video, he was broadcast on the Servant video site for two whole months, it was so embarrassing he almost died.
"Because your performance that time was so outstanding, your video spread like a virus online, making my BB Channel blow up in popularity. Even this haunted house I built for fun became a famous check-in spot for Servants — everyone wants to come here to experience 'catching Grand'."
BB said with a bright smile:
"'Catching Grand' my ass, Servants of Grand rank aren't meant to be used that way!"
"Mama~, don't be mad, senpai."
BB happily went on:
"But up until now, no one has ever cleared this haunted house, and its popularity is gradually declining, so I hope that when you're free, you can come play again. More precisely, I want you to clear this haunted house before the end of the semester, okay?"
What the hell, does she want me to come here and embarrass myself all over again just to help her revive this place?
[BB has proactively sent you an invitation to conquer the haunted house.]
[If you succeed, you might encounter a completely new meeting here…]
[Quest deadline: Before the end of the first semester]
[If you succeed, you will unlock a completely new academy community route. Accept?]
"If you do it, you'll get a secret reward you've always wanted~ Sen-pai~~~."
BB suddenly licked her pink lips lightly, folding her arms in front of her chest, deliberately or not, lifting up her plump, round breasts.
She was clearly a cute and innocent-looking girl, yet she exuded an irresistible charm that didn't match her appearance at all.
That gaze and that posture — they were practically saying that the reward was her!
And Eikou's instincts told him this was a contract with the devil.
"A completely new academy community huh…"
Eikou thought silently.
Could it be a hidden academy, led by BB, separate from nations and mythology?
The moment he set foot in this haunted house, it was almost guaranteed that this little evil would play with him again.
But that didn't matter — conquering the haunted house was already part of his plan, sooner or later he had to do it anyway!
Now Eikou was much stronger, with a more diverse skill set and broader connections, and he had enough confidence to face this challenge.
It was only mid-semester now, so he still had about one to two months to prepare.
No, if he was confident, he could even clear it earlier than planned.
For clearing BB's haunted house, that was more than enough time.
"...I accept."
Eikou nodded.
"Wonderful~"
BB blinked her adorable eyes and smiled brightly.
"Then, this lonely BB-chan will be waiting for you with all my anticipation. See you at the livestream room on the top floor of the haunted house~ senpai~?"
Even though BB's smile was radiant and her voice soft and sweet,
The more a girl smiles, the better she is at lying!
[You have accepted BB's invitation to conquer the haunted house, with the deadline before the end of the first semester.]
[As a down payment, she has dispelled the pig transformation curse on you two.]
[Both of you have finally returned to your normal human bodies.]
[Since you experienced 'the daily life of Greeks from the Age of Gods', you are rewarded with an Encouragement Dice, for a total of five now.]
[After the pig transformation curse was lifted, the first thing you and Artoria did was eat like crazy to vent your frustration, almost causing you to miss the first afternoon class.]
[You studied diligently for the entire afternoon.]
[And so, time quietly passed into the evening...]
