"Hmm…I understand," Sola said calmly.
After so much discipline and ecstasy, she no longer cared about Lancer, who didn't reciprocate her feelings. She only wanted to continue enjoying the pleasure before her.
Moreover, with the weight lifted from her heart—she no longer had to marry Kayneth—she felt even more exhilarated.
"Ah~~~"
And so, she and Haruka Kasugano made love seven or eight times before she finally let go.
She lay in Haruka Kasugano's arms, drenched in sweat, her eyes closed, savoring the afterglow.
"What do you plan to do with me?" Sola asked.
"What else can I do? Of course, I'll let you go home!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
"Ah?" Sola was astonished; she sat bolt upright.
She had never expected Haruka Kasugano to say something like that.
Kill her.
Keep imprisoning her.
Sell her off.
She had considered every possibility — except that Haruka Kasugano would actually let her go.
"If you're not afraid that after I go back, I'll send people to kill you?" Sola asked in return.
"If you were going to do that, you wouldn't be standing here asking me. You'd be in a hurry to leave already." Haruka Kasugano smiled.
"Hmph!" Sola turned her head angrily, yet she continued lying gently in Haruka Kasugano's arms.
At this moment, she could no longer forget his scent.
Her body instinctively resisted the thought of leaving him.
She reached out and pinched him a few times to vent her dissatisfaction.
--------
That night, Haruka Kasugano checked the system rewards.
Earlier, when he had been intimate with Artoria alter, her "affection Infidelity" had increased by 20%. He had been too absorbed at the time to check the reward.
So he reopened the system log.
[Ding! Artoria (Alter) feels very pleased. Affection Infidelity +20%!]
[The system will henceforth refer to her as "Artoria alter"!]
[Congratulations! Host has obtained new skill: "Leadership B"!
Can strengthen multiple selected targets!
Enhances mana, spirit origin, strength, and agility!
In short: increases attack power! Enhancement rate: 18%!]
[Congratulations! Host has obtained new skill: "Guidance A+"!
The host can impart mastered skills to a target through enlightenment, allowing rapid acquisition!
Side effect: consumes the host's HP. The higher the skill level, the greater the HP cost!]
As expected of Artoria. As expected of an A+ rank noble lady.
Both skills were incredibly powerful — especially Guidance.
He could practically pose as a grand master now.
Yes, the "healing" godfather. Since healing skills weren't rare, if he handed them out everywhere, couldn't he trick plenty of people?
Heh heh… another method to deceive women acquired.
After spending time with Sola, Haruka Kasugano went downstairs for a late-night snack.
Though it was midnight, the kitchen on the first floor was brightly lit.
He walked in to see Circe cooking at the stove, while Artoria alter was sitting at the table, devouring a roasted chicken leg.
Haruka Kasugano froze.
Last night she had been shouting about killing him, and had even been transformed by Circe's spell — growing a cute little pigtail.
So why was she calmly eating now?
Shouldn't she wake up screaming for blood?
He stepped closer and observed her carefully. She was completely immersed in the food — no sign of vengeance on her face.
Artoria alter noticed him staring. Hugging the chicken leg, she turned abruptly.
Her expression looked fierce and hostile.
Haruka Kasugano was startled.
If she went berserk here, Circe wouldn't be able to stop her!
But instead—
She puffed up her cheeks and said angrily,
"What are you looking at? I'm not giving you any!"
"…." Haruka Kasugano almost burst out laughing.
Too cute.
And coming from such a terrifying, majestic being.
That contrast was devastating.
Circe then brought out another plate — roasted chicken.
Artoria alter glanced sideways at Haruka Kasugano and immediately dragged the plate in front of herself, even spitting on it to declare ownership.
Unbelievable.
Whether Artoria or Artoria alter, both were huge foodies, huh?
In front of food, love and hatred could wait.
Circe walked over smiling. "Piglet, when she woke up she wanted to fight, but she collapsed from hunger immediately!"
"You should've seen her lying flat on the ground yelling that she was starving — it was hilarious!"
"So you cooked for her?" Haruka Kasugano asked.
"Of course! But only after she promised not to cause trouble! She's very obedient now!" Circe said proudly.
"Piglet, am I amazing?"
Her wings fluttered like a cat wagging its tail for praise.
Haruka Kasugano patted her head, and Circe immediately danced with joy.
[Ding! Circe Affection Infidelity +10%!]
[Reward: "High-Speed Incantation A" upgraded to "High-Speed Divine Words B"!
A divine-level chanting method allowing rapid spellcasting!]
Haruka Kasugano joined Artoria alter at the table and snatched a piece of chicken meat.
"So easy to handle..."
But obedient girls are always more endearing!.
Now that she has a physical body, she can get pregnant. I'll definitely make her have five babies!.
"So Haruka Kasugano sat down at the table and ate with Artoria alter."
He grabbed a piece of meat straight from the meat platter to taste.
"Ah! I spat on that! You ate it without hesitation…" Artoria alter blushed deeply.
"It tasted pretty good."
"Isn't that… an indirect kiss…"
He ignored her and grabbed another piece.
She hugged the entire plate and crouched in a corner to eat — like a little black cat.
"Stop fighting over it, little Piglet, I'll make you some food!" Circe laughed.
" "Oh? Okay!"
So Haruka Kasugano simply picked up Circe and tossed her onto the dining table, spreading her legs wide then slides his underwear and inserts it.
"Ah—ah~~! Piglet, not that kind of food ... Stop it..." Circe blushed deeply, covering her mouth with her delicate little hands.
*Pfft!*
A splash of liquid appeared on the dining table—
---------
Later…
Melusine still hadn't awakened, though she had shifted from unconsciousness to deep sleep.
Occasionally she sucked her thumb, sleeping peacefully.
It looked like she would wake in a few days.
Then I could ask her about the situation.
After dawn—
Irisviel came downstairs, still sleepy.
When she saw Artoria alter eating breakfast, she froze, tears filling her eyes.
"Saber… I thought I'd never see you again!"
She didn't notice anything different.
She ran forward and hugged Artoria alter tightly, burying her in her chest.
"I missed you so much…" she cried.
Black Saber, smelling her fragrance, remained unmoved.
She continued eating, oblivious.
However, she was still Artoria, only her spirit had been corrupted, and her Spirit Origin had been reversed.
Of course, she still remembered her friendship with Irisviel.
Artoria alter, still eating, calmly said,
"Irisviel, you're interfering with my meal."
"S-sorry! I got too emotional!"
"Want to eat together?" Artoria alter asked.
"Yes!"Irisviel nodded tearfully, and the two girls sat close together, chatting happily.
"Irisviel, why didn't you become the Holy Grail?"
"It's a long story! It's all thanks to Haruka-kun! And you, why didn't you return to the Throne of Heroes?"
"Ask that bastard, I don't want to answer, it's a bit embarrassing..."
"Hahahaha~~!"
The two girls laughed together.
[Ding! Artoria alter Affection Infidelity +10%!]
[Ding! Irisviel Affection Infidelity +10%!]
---------
[Host's divine charm unmatched! Two noble ladies feel gratitude simultaneously! Combined reward granted!]
[Obtained one-time Noble Phantasm: "Crown of Ten EX"!]

Haruka Kasugano was still in bed with Circe when this notification appeared.
Unbelievable.
He was being intimate with one woman —
and the affection of two other women increased?
