Chapter 204: Servant Status?
The feeling of having his face pressed against two soft, full, towering mounds.
At first Eikou froze, then his heart began pounding.
Oh God, this was exactly the dream service of burying his face in a big sister's chest!
"Are you alright, Eikou?"
Artoria Lancer once again asked in concern.
"Cough… thank you for the hospitality…"
He was being squeezed so tightly he could barely breathe, so he could only speak vaguely.
Artoria held the boy tightly in her arms, while her other hand gripped the Holy Lance in vigilance as she turned her head toward the silver-haired girl in front of her.
Her warhorse, Dun Stallion, was very sensible and stepped back a few paces to maintain distance from the opponent.
But at this moment, Caren no longer intended to attack. She simply wore a cold expression while holding the already-signed betting agreement.
"Alright, our betting agreement has officially taken effect,"
She raised the contract in her hand smugly, like a little devil.
"You can struggle miserably until the very last second… ah no, what I mean is, let's both do our best, friendship first, competition second. After all, the final winner can only be me."
"…I don't need to exchange words with you. We'll see when the time comes."
Finally escaping from Artoria's arms, Eikou only blushed as he looked at her.
Even though the opening of this Singularity wasn't very good, as long as he was given a bit of time to grow, he absolutely wasn't afraid of Caren at all!
Who would win or lose was far too early to say!
"Hehe, then we'll meet again later."
Caren waved her hand with hidden meaning, then picked up the Book of the False Attendant and left.
Her glossy silver hair fluttered behind her, like the coldest star in the night sky.
[The two of you have signed an agreement to duel in the League Tournament.]
[This concerns the safety of both parties and is also a required condition for repairing the Singularity. This is a battle that must be won, not lost.]
[Thus, your childhood friend, Caren Hortensia, has temporarily given up on auctioning you off to married woman.]
[You are now free to act.]
When Caren left, Eikou immediately jumped down from the horse.
"Thank you so much, Artoria..."
He spoke his gratitude to Artoria with sincerity.
"If you hadn't rushed here in time, I really can't imagine what would've happened just now."
"It's nothing, this is simply what I should do..."
Artoria nodded solemnly, tightening the reins of her warhorse.
"Right, Eikou, I feel that the Singularity is restricting the parameters of my Spirit Origin, and the amount of mana in my body keeps decreasing. If you don't mind, could you form a Master-Servant Contract with me?"
Upon hearing this, Eikou froze, "Eh… is that possible?"
If he formed a Master-Servant Contract, that meant he would become the Master of Artoria Lancer.
Judging from her words, what she wanted wasn't a temporary contract, but a deeper, stronger one — a tighter Master-Servant relationship.
That meant he would have control over her, even having the ability to use a Command Spell to restrict her.
Eikou suddenly recalled the things Caren had said earlier, those terrifying ways of using a Command Spell.
Although he was a righteous person who would never harbor ill intentions or force women, wouldn't Artoria be worried? What if the full breasts of the King of Knights were ordered to do something improper by a Command Spell?
"It's alright. Only like this can we display our true strength."
Artoria said earnestly.
"You and I are both teammates sent by Chaldea to repair the Singularity. I trust you greatly. Even if you become my Master, I'm certain you will issue correct and effective commands!"
"…I understand."
Hearing her say that, Eikou immediately pulled back all his dark thoughts and nodded seriously.
The other party had shown such determination that it made him feel a bit small-minded instead.
"Then let's sign it. I definitely won't betray your trust. Let's work together and push toward the final victory."
Eikou said earnestly.
"..."
Artoria suddenly pursed her lips; she stopped talking.
"What's wrong? I feel like you're a little unhappy?"
"D-did I?"
The King of Knights super cup froze for a moment when she heard that, then shook her head, "It's nothing. Let's sign the contract quickly!"
[You and Artoria Lancer have formed a Contract.]
[Artoria Lancer has become your first Servant. You have received three Command Spells as a Master. Because this Holy Grail War is special, these three Command Spells do not connect to the Command Spells you previously formed with the three married woman.]
[Artoria Lancer, GETTO DAZE!]
Beep beep.
Eikou suddenly felt the Book of the False Attendant he had just received start vibrating, so he picked it up to check.
It started vibrating right after signing—surely it was registering Artoria's information into the Book of the False Attendant.
Opening the Book of the False Attendant, he froze slightly.
[Artoria Lancer]
[Noble, pure, and divine, the extremely serious Knight King. The adult version of King Arthur (Artoria) who abandoned the Holy Sword and uses the Holy Lance.]
[Secretly likes a boy younger than herself, and it's even love at first sight, but the boy seems to be the lover of her elder sister (her enemy). Because of pride and conflicting positions, she does not take the initiative toward that boy and hides her true feelings very well.]
[Thus, she is a little unsatisfied.]
[Although she herself doesn't realize it, deep inside she somewhat hopes that the young boy would use a Command Spell to give indecent orders, so that she can only "go with the flow" and be together with him...]
"???"
Just what kind of Book of the False Attendant is this? Why is it casually dropping a bomb like this on me?! I wanted to see her power stats, why are you only showing her private life information?!
[By raising affection, you can gradually unlock this Servant's three sizes, kink, height, and weight.]
"I don't need this useless information! Also, height and weight are basic stats, why are they the last to unlock?!"
As expected, free things taken from Caren are never anything good!
"Calm down…"
Eikou rubbed his forehead.
"First, this Book of the False Attendant cannot yet be confirmed to be real. Second, even if it is real, this isn't the right time to deal with this issue… To put it bluntly, how am I even supposed to handle this?"
Seriously, lately his romantic troubles involving sisters had been a bit too frequent. Jeanne d'Arc and Jeanne Alter once already—now Morgan and Artoria want to re-enact that scene too?
[Your thoughts are a little chaotic.]
[But you quickly calm down, maintain composure, and contact Chaldea to report everything that just happened.]
[Sherlock Holmes supports your decision. Betting against Caren was the right move.]
[As long as you win the title of Champion of League, you will be able to achieve all your goals smoothly.]
[You are now able to advance on the road toward the championship.]
[...]
[Next, you discover a very important problem.]
"..."
Eikou touched the wallet in his pocket, his expression somewhat awkward.
"... We only have 5 QP of funds."
