Although there was a tiny bit of selfishness involved.
"That's why we won't do it again." Yalin saw through her little scheme, patted her head, and softened his tone.
He doesn't intend to ignore Ai Ge's feelings.
If he doesn't care, that's fine, but if he clearly notices it and still dawdles or hesitates, that's not his habit.
Acceptance or rejection, there are only these two choices.
Yalin chose to accept it; after years of being together, he had become accustomed to the other person's companionship.
It's not unreasonable to grant a young girl's wish.
Previously, my feelings for Ai Ge were familial. It will take time for those feelings to develop into something else.
Until then, we should continue to interact in the same way as before.
Besides, the other party is still young. We can wait until Ai Ge has grown up in a few years before formally accepting her feelings.
Yalin didn't want to confirm the loli-con label that Misaya had mentioned.
"Lin Jun, you... seem to have changed?" Ai Ge keenly noticed the change in the young man in front of her, but she didn't know whether it was for good or bad, which made her somewhat uneasy.
"I've just come to understand some facts; there's no need to take it too seriously," he said calmly, pinching Aigo's cheek.
Then he turned his attention to his enemy Draco, or Nero the Beast, a beast born from the principles of corruption.
In the normal timeline, Nero Claudius, in despair, slit his own throat and committed suicide while fleeing after his defeat. However, he was not discovered by his pursuers and would briefly wake up every sunset.
After three sunsets, her remains were discovered by a Roman soldier who felt it was too pitiful to leave the emperor's body exposed in the wilderness, so he covered her remains with a cloth.
Nero was thus relieved that he had been killed in the tenth cemetery.
However, in the timeline where Draco was born, no soldiers draped a cloth over her after the three sunsets.
Therefore, Nero could not swallow this resentment, and rose from the dead again, transforming into the beast of Sodom.
This shows that the work of recovering corpses cannot be taken lightly, otherwise, if the deceased were to rise from the dead, they might seek revenge on the whole world.
Just kidding, Draco's condition is actually similar to that of the Lion King in The Sixth Singularity.
Because Nero did not die after the third sunset, a divergence occurred, and Draco was born.
Being targeted by such a beast, even if the opponent is restrained and cannot fully manifest itself in the world, is undoubtedly a formidable enemy.
Yalin couldn't understand why they had to go to such lengths when he wasn't some Tang Monk's flesh.
He was determined to eliminate Draco's threat, no matter what.
The beast was constantly on his mind, making it impossible for him to sleep soundly.
His gaze was fixed on the holy mark on his wrist, a mark left by the other party.
His appearance remained that of an Archangel, but his inner essence was different. This was what he realized from observing Kurino Tatsumi's Archangel Command Seals.
To be precise, this was a Command Spell specially prepared for Yarin.
Tsk, being treated so specially by a beast, I have mixed feelings.
"No matter what, it's time to put an end to this."
Neither the Beast nor the Greater Grail can stop him from living a peaceful retirement.
When Yalin arrived at the bookstore, the seven Servants had already gathered together, waiting for him to lead them.
Aige followed along, determined to go and witness the demise of that 666 beast.
After learning the origin of the love song connection, Yalin was no longer worried about her safety and agreed to accompany her.
"Gentlemen, there's no need for further words. Let's set off and save this city and the world."
We will achieve the most glorious victory.
He gazed calmly at the seven historical heroes, his tone not impassioned, yet genuinely convincing.
His calm tone made it seem as if he were not going to fight to the death, but rather enjoying a spring outing.
The tense and serious atmosphere among the Servants eased. Looking at the confident Arin, the pressure they felt from the beast lessened considerably.
On the bookstore balcony, Misaya and Ayaka watched this scene, captivated by Ayrin's dashing figure.
"This loli-obsessed guy only looks cool at times like this," Misaya muttered softly, her face slightly flushed.
This sight reminded her of the moment when the other person saved her.
"Misaya-neechan, what does 'loli-con' mean?" Ayaka asked, puzzled, wondering why Ayaka would describe Mr. Ayaka that way.
"Don't ask questions that children shouldn't ask!" Misaya said in a harsh tone.
"Oh!" Ayaka was startled and watched with her mouth shut as Ayrin and his servants left.
After being set up by Aika and the two Servants, the barrier surrounding the bookstore has surpassed the level and scale of the temple that Caster previously set up in the Linglong Pavilion.
Under the control of Hiroki Sajo and the head of the Reiryukan family, who awakened along with Tatsumi Kurino, danger and traps lurk everywhere.
This is sufficient to ensure safety during this period.
......
The great underground cavern, where the Holy Grail is located.
Endless desires and magic converge at the bottom of the abyss, forming a dark mud powerful enough to engulf all things.
The beast named Draco stood silently on the black mud, awaiting the arrival of the final battle.
Beneath her, the seven-headed, ten-crowned beast gradually took shape under the nurturing of the Greater Grail.
Even without the souls of heroes, there were only thousands of people who died violent deaths as substitute sacrifices.
With the assistance and support of Draco, who should have originated from beyond this world, it is about to be born. However, it will inevitably suffer from symptoms of malnutrition.
Born from the principles of corruption, the beast is said to have appeared when the city, at the height of its prosperity, became corrupt.
The sixth beast will appear to taste its vile flavor and devour it.
Tokyo, after its great prosperity in the 1980s, has now fallen from its peak due to the backlash, and corruption and desire have become unfathomable, completely satisfying her appetite.
If that's the reason for coming here, then it's not entirely unworth it.
Draco thought to himself.
However... what she yearns for most is that being from beyond the source, "alin".
Originally, I only turned my attention here to observe the birth of another sixth beast.
Originally, I just had a feeling and wanted to appreciate the foolishness and doom of that woman of origin after she fell into the mortal world.
However, he unexpectedly discovered Yalin's existence and spent his free time watching him. Before he knew it, more than ten years had passed.
They even changed their minds and joined the Holy Grail War.
Because she wanted to "devour" Yalin.
Chapter 1:
Chapter 49: The Seven-Headed, Ten-Crowned Great Red Dragon (4k)
In the surging sea of black mud, the seven-headed, ten-crowned beast, using the Greater Grail as its shell and desire as its nourishment, continued to take shape with its gigantic body.
Its instinct to devour and evolve makes it restless and uneasy, eager to be born as soon as possible to devour this once-prosperous but now declining city and become a complete individual.
He wanted to devour Alin, who was ostensibly just a human subspecies, so that his body could transcend limitations and become unbound by all laws and principles.
Even though the body is not fully formed and there are no organs of thought in the true sense, as Draco's half, it undoubtedly possesses another side of instinct.
This weak and hungry state was truly unsettling for the beast.
If it didn't lack vocal organs, it would probably be yelling that it's hungry.
How can one conceive half of oneself without providing enough offerings for its growth?
The birth of the Seven Heads originally required the souls of seven Servants. Even though it endured being nourished by many substitutes, it still longed to devour the Servants and get rid of its underdeveloped appearance.
Draco remained silent in the face of the young beast's yearning, while his strength continued to grow rapidly over time.
Even if the original body cannot descend to earth and must rely on the Greater Grail to manifest, the strength of this clone is not outstanding.
It is not impossible to improve to a level sufficient to deal with Yalin.
Even though it comes at a high price, she believes it's worth it.
"I really did act impulsively this time, actually going to such lengths for you."
Draco, the enchantress, spoke these words, her cold voice echoing in the abyss, seemingly to herself. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
"However, if you cannot even surpass me, then you have no reason to exist. Be devoured and completely merge with me, becoming one of the seven heads, serving me forever in the border prison."
This was the only kindness and compassion she had left after making up her mind.
After all, Draco wasn't the only one who discovered him. Her arrival was merely a harbinger of the storm.
......
"Ah sneeze!"
On the streets of Tokyo, Yalin felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was talking to him.
He turned to look at Ai Ge and found her in a good mood, humming an unknown tune.
Noticing his gaze, she looked over with a bright smile: "Mr. Lin, is there anything I can help you with?"
“No.” Yalin turned to Lancer and Silent Hassan, and after receiving two gentle and fervent gazes, he confirmed that the strangeness did not originate from them, and breathed a sigh of relief.
By process of elimination, the only one who could give him the creeps but isn't here is Draco.
The reason for the beast of Sodom's obsession with him is unclear, but it is undoubtedly quite deep.
The time it takes to keep an eye on him will likely exceed expectations, far beyond just six months.
