The French Singularity was restored.
While Sho had collapsed from exhaustion, Orleans was conquered.
Thus, the group recovered the Holy Grail and returned to Chaldea.
And that Holy Grail was…
"Me? I'm the Holy Grail?"
None other than Jeanne Alter.
She was still confused about her own identity, and BB immediately took her away for a Holy Grail extraction procedure.
It seemed the Dragon Witch's Spirit Core was the Holy Grail itself, so a procedure was needed to separate the Spirit Core from the Grail.
They could have simply killed Jeanne Alter and taken the Holy Grail, but the decision reflected the wishes of Jeanne and Sho, who wanted to secure her.
In a way, she owed her life to the two of them.
"I hope my little sister's procedure goes well."
Yu Miaoyi gave a sour look to Jeanne, who referred to the Alter as her little sister.
This was the same saint who had a history of trying to brainwash even Lady Avalon—who used to call herself everyone's little sister—into becoming *her* little sister.
Ritsuka supported the exhausted Sho, who had fought with all his might, and helped him to his room.
Parvati watched Ritsuka subtly grope his butt and thought to herself how energetic she was.
One by one, they began leaving the control room to attend to their own business, but Atalante remained, looking up at CHALDEAS.
"...Is that thing going to be alright?"
She knew what CHALDEAS was. No, at the very least, anyone from Sho's Chaldea would know.
"For now, there's nothing we can do. Besides, without it, the Restoration of Human Order would be impossible."
Siegfried told Atalante that there was nothing to be done about her worries. He too felt uneasy about CHALDEAS, but there was no way to destroy it.
Furthermore, the power of CHALDEAS was necessary to resolve the Incineration of Humanity.
Kiyohime also glanced up at CHALDEAS for a moment, but then she approached Da Vinci, who was tapping on a control panel.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Are you… the real Ms. Da Vinci?"
Her name was Gran Cavallo. An artificial Servant that could be called a clone of Leonardo da Vinci.
She paused her system adjustments on the panel and looked up at Kiyohime for a moment. With a gentle smile, she spun her chair around to face her.
"Of course not. If you want to be precise, I'm a derivative, right?"
"Then I'll have to rephrase my question."
Kiyohime leaned in close to Da Vinci, her pupils slitting like a snake's as she stared at her.
"Did you inherit *only* the mind of Ms. Da Vinci?"
Da Vinci simply smiled back at Kiyohime, but soon her eyes flickered with static, and a violet hue mixed into them.
"Could you not try to learn too much? Prying into a woman's secrets isn't polite, you know?"
Da Vinci blinked and gave a smirk. Seeing this, Kiyohime unfolded her fan to cover her mouth.
Just as she thought. Gran Cavallo. She was not the same woman Kiyohime knew. She should have been a clone who purely inherited Da Vinci's memories and personality, but it felt as though BB had added something when she made her adjustments.
However, she didn't seem to be a dangerous element, so Kiyohime decided to let it go for now. She left the control room to verify whether this Chaldea was a suitable and safe place for Sho.
"...I feel like I wasn't much help."
Mash was feeling disappointed that, unlike in Fuyuki, she hadn't been of much help in France this time.
"Mr. Leonidas. Could I possibly ask you for some training?"
"Shouldn't you be resting at this late hour?"
"No. Just for an hour, please!"
"Hmm, you're still brimming with energy, I see. Very well! Leave it to me!"
Mash asked Leonidas, who also used a shield like her, to train her. Despite the late hour, she headed to the training room with him.
Everyone left the control room and began to move about Chaldea.
Meanwhile, in the Masters' room.
"Ritsuka. Aren't you tired?"
"But you're still full of energy too, Sho, aren't you~? I'm not saying we have to do it right now~ Just that we should do it after resting a bit, okay?"
Lying in bed with Sho, Ritsuka hugged him and acted coquettishly.
The sweet fragrance emanating from her, the constant pressure from her breasts. On top of that, Ritsuka pressed her leg firmly against Sho's crotch, stimulating him.
Sho was troubled by her lewd smile.
Was it because of this aggressive advance? No.
If Ritsuka alone had become this lewd, then what about Mash or Olga Marie?
Or perhaps Gran Cavallo might be the same, and if it came to the point where even BB started acting this way, things would get truly difficult.
Sho worried that his dream might actually become a reality.
Of course, this was a worry born from not yet knowing that the dream was real. Sho was unaware that he had already taken the virginity of the four of them, excluding Gran Cavallo.
"By the way, Sho~ Aren't you curious?"
"About what?"
"You said that that… that power of the principle applies to you too, right?"
"To be precise, I've taken the position of a predator."
In the previous timeline, it was a buff from the world that only Ryuuji possessed, at least in Chaldea.
It grants an overwhelming special attack against women and reduces damage from female attacks to the point of nullification.
"Yeah. In that case, do you think you could do what that man did, Sho?"
"…Do what?"
"What do you think? The power to conquer women."
The power to conquer women.
Ryuuji had used it to corrupt countless women and make them his servants. At Ritsuka's words, Sho's expression stiffened for a moment.
"I didn't mean it in a bad way. It's just, if you have a power like that… wouldn't it be better to make use of it?"
"Are you being serious?"
"Yep. The women of this world, they're all lewd bitches, aren't they?"
Sho couldn't argue with that.
"You saw it with the previous Jeanne, right? In other words, most of them will be easy. If you use that power well, it means you can win without fighting and even bring them over to our side, right? I don't think that power is all that bad. If used correctly, couldn't it be a huge help?"
"So you're just saying I should rape them since they're enemies anyway."
"I'm just saying it's a last resort~ Besides, we don't even know if you really have a power like that, do we? So, why don't we test it first?"
"Test it?"
"Yeah, you know? That witch we just brought back."
Ritsuka grinned, her hand tracing Sho's penis over his pants as she spoke.
"She's a prickly witch now, but depending on what you do, Sho, she might become an obedient little girl, right? I think you, Sho, have the right to do that. Just imagine it. Her, completely submissive to you."
'Master, please give me a reward too♥'
Imagining Jeanne Alter turning into a submissive woman, Sho covered his eyes with his hand.
"I don't want to abuse it. Even if I really have that kind of power, it's a last resort."
On the assumption that he really did have such a power, Sho only ever intended to try it on great calamities like Tiamat, if he could. Winning a fight with sex, of all things. Furthermore, raping someone.
He didn't like the method itself. Perhaps it was because he had seen Ryuuji's case to the point of disgust. He had no positive impressions of this power whatsoever.
"It'll be different. You and that guy are different, aren't you, Sho? You just have to embrace them with love, that's all."
A power is different depending on who uses it and how. Ritsuka, on the other hand, thought it would be good for Sho to use that power to put all women beneath him and become the king of the world this time.
Ritsuka wants them to genuinely love and follow Sho.
And then, with her own hands, Ritsuka will make them suffer.
She will make them remember the sins they committed in the previous timeline and push them into hell.
Perhaps this too was a form of revenge.
Of course, the Dragon Witch, Ruler Jeanne Alter, was an unrelated matter, so she was being genuine when she told Sho to make her his woman.
As she was tempting Sho and guiding him towards her intentions…
"Are you in there?"
The Director entered the room.
"What is it?"
"Hah… The recreation room. I was just passing by on my way from the restroom, and I heard a sound like a pig being slaughtered that pierced right through the soundproof walls. I almost fainted. Do you know what's causing it?"
"That would be Báthory."
Olga Marie had come looking for Sho because of the incredible noise pollution. Sho got up from the bed and moved to stop Báthory's eardrum terrorism.
Ritsuka was disappointed that he got out of bed so easily. But she just smiled, thinking that there would always be another chance.
