"Huh? Marry you?"

Aoi Tohsaka was momentarily stunned. After confirming that she hadn't misheard, she bit her lip, her expression quickly turning cold.

"Mr. Akira, please don't joke about such things with a married woman!"

"Well, it's just a proposal. If you don't accept it, I have another suggestion," Akira said with a shrug.

Hearing this, Aoi let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Akira had just been joking.

That was good.

What she feared most was that Akira wasn't joking.

"What other proposal do you have, Mr. Akira?" Aoi asked cautiously.

"Ms. Aoi, do you know what this mark on my left hand represents?" Akira slowly raised his left hand.

"This is... a Command Seal?" Aoi's pupils contracted instantly.

Command Seals meant that Sakura had also become a participant in the Holy Grail War!

"You're correct. The current situation is that your daughter, Sakura Tohsaka, and your husband, Tokiomi Tohsaka, are both participating in the Holy Grail War."

"Who do you hope will win the Holy Grail War?"

"Who do I hope will win?"

Of course, she hoped Akira would be eliminated and Sakura would survive.

But with Akira standing right in front of her, how could she say something so cruel?

Wait!

What if only Akira remained as the last Servant?

In that case, neither Sakura nor Tokiomi would be in danger.

As for Tokiomi's Servant...

Gilgamesh: Hmph.

Seeing Aoi deep in thought, Akira smiled and pulled out a crystal ball from behind him.

"Regardless of who you hope will win, I'll give you this crystal ball first."

"This crystal ball is connected to my familiar, allowing you to observe the progress of the Holy Grail War in real-time."

"I think you'll be very curious about how your husband and daughter are faring in the war."

"Thank you, Mr. Akira. I'm truly grateful!"

Aoi held the crystal ball, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Feeling emboldened by Akira's kindness, Aoi gathered her courage.

People always tend to make more requests of those who are kind.

"Mr. Akira, I also have a proposal. Would you consider it?" Aoi looked at Akira with hopeful eyes.

"I think, since both Sakura and Tokiomi are participants in the Holy Grail War, perhaps they could..."

"You mean, form an alliance?"

"Yes! That's exactly what I mean!" Aoi nodded eagerly.

"An alliance? That's difficult, or rather, impossible."

"Why?"

"Why...? On the Master's side, Sakura still holds resentment toward Tokiomi."

"That's fine. I can try to persuade Tokiomi!"

"You should understand that the issue lies with Sakura, not Tokiomi. If Sakura finds out that Tokiomi only accepted her because she has value, she'll hate him even more."

Aoi fell silent.

"Besides the conflict between the Masters, there's also the conflict between the Servants."

"To be honest, I don't particularly like Tokiomi's Servant, and Tokiomi's Servant certainly doesn't like me."

"Our compatibility is too poor. If we were in the same camp, we'd inevitably clash."

"I wonder if my reasoning convinces you."

"While cooperation is impossible, if you agree to one condition, I can spare Tokiomi's life if I defeat him."

"Oh? What condition?" Aoi's eyes lit up with hope.

"My condition is..."

"During the Holy Grail War, you will become my nominal wife and Sakura's mother, taking care of her."

"This..."

"If it's just nominal, then I agree."

Aoi made a quick decision.

After all, it was only a nominal arrangement.

Sakura already called Akira "Daddy." Even if Aoi didn't acknowledge it, in a sense, she was already Akira's nominal wife.

As soon as Aoi agreed, a system notification chimed in Akira's mind.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host, for triggering a villain quest!]

[Quest Level: Gold]

[Quest: The Tempting Demon]

[Requirement: Tempt others to fall, making partnered characters actively sign contracts with you and become your contractors.]

[Note: Forcibly taking them will also grant rewards, but the reward level will drop to Purple.]

After reading the quest details, Akira's expression turned微妙.

"I've noticed that as my power grows, the system's quests are becoming more... interesting."

"But that's fine."

"Unless I'm really lazy or have no other choice, I prefer active conquest over force."

Akira smirked. With the power of his high-dimensional succubus bloodline, seven days were more than enough to win over Aoi.

Not to mention, Aoi had two weaknesses—Sakura and Tokiomi.

Once her weaknesses were exploited, even the most virtuous wife would eventually fall.

"Ms. Aoi, since you've agreed to my condition, how about we go out and spend some time with Sakura?"

"Sakura has been wanting to go shopping with you for a long time."

As he spoke, Akira extended his hand to Aoi.

"Alright."

Snap.

Aoi gently took Akira's hand.

Instantly, a wave of unprecedented emotion swept through her mature body.

Without realizing it, she had already taken the first step.

Outside, Sakura was anxiously waiting for Akira.

When she saw Akira walking toward her with Aoi, she broke into a radiant smile.

Akira never failed her expectations!

"Sakura, shall we go shopping together?"

"Yes!"

"Daddy! Mommy! Let's go!"

Sakura rushed forward, tears in her eyes, and hugged the hands of Akira and Aoi.

That evening, at the beach.

Irisviel von Einzbern took off her boots, revealing her long, black-stockinged legs, and waded into the sea.

The water was cold, but it didn't matter.

Because Irisviel's heart was even colder.

"Irisviel, you'll catch a cold like this," Saber said with concern.

"It's fine, Saber. I need some physical stimulation."

"This way, I can distract myself from my thoughts," Irisviel said with a凄美 smile.

Saber fell silent.

All she could do was watch over Irisviel as she walked along the beach.

Until she spotted a familiar figure in the distance.

"Irisviel... I think I see Illya!"

Even Saber's usually calm voice couldn't hide her shock.

"What? Illya? Saber, what are you talking about?!"

Illya was supposed to be...

Irisviel looked in the direction Saber was pointing.

On the beach, a small, familiar figure was hopping around happily.

Beside Illya stood a man who exuded an aura of calm authority.

Illya was bouncing around, but she never strayed far from the man.

This scene reminded Irisviel of the times Illya would play with Kiritsugu.

"It's Illya! It's really her! But... who is that man beside her?"

Irisviel stopped in her tracks.

"Irisviel, be careful."

"According to Kiritsugu's information, Illya is most likely dead!"

"That man might be an illusion created by another Master to deceive you!"

Saber stepped forward, shielding Irisviel.

"No... that's not it, Saber."

Irisviel stared at Illya with dazed eyes.

The closer Illya got, the stronger the feeling in her heart grew.

This sensation... it couldn't be wrong!

As Illya approached, she smiled and extended her small hand.

"Mommy. To stop you from worrying, Illya came to find you herself!"

"Illya!"

Irisviel could no longer hold back her emotions. She rushed forward and hugged her precious daughter tightly.

Yes, this was Illya's scent.

It was really her!

But as Illya's identity was confirmed, a question arose in Irisviel's mind.

"Illya, how did you get here? Wasn't the Einzbern Castle attacked?"

"Yes, the Einzbern Castle was attacked."

"To be precise, it was attacked by someone who wanted to save me—Akira."

"You? Who are you?!"

Saber's gaze sharpened as she pulled Irisviel back.

"Alright, Akira, don't scare Mommy," Illya said, tugging at Akira's hand to prevent him from making the situation worse.

"Mommy, Akira just took over the Einzbern Castle. Now, the entire Einzbern family is under his control," Illya explained with a smile.

"This..."

Irisviel didn't know what to say.

"Took over the Einzbern Castle?" Saber frowned.

"For what purpose? And why bring Illya to this far eastern country?" Saber gripped her invisible sword, ready for battle.

Illya being captured and the Einzbern Castle being taken over would undoubtedly distract Irisviel and Kiritsugu!

The person behind this...

"For what purpose?"

Illya twirled around, her cute pleated skirt fluttering in the air.

"To free us from our fate as sacrifices for the Holy Grail!"

"Fate as sacrifices for the Holy Grail?"

Saber and Irisviel exchanged glances, but Irisviel quickly looked away.

"Mommy, you can feel my current state, right?"

"Yes, I can feel that you've completely severed your connection to the Holy Grail. You're now just an ordinary girl," Irisviel said, her voice trembling.

Illya, who had once been destined for a tragic fate, now had the chance to live a normal life.

"Wait! What do you mean by 'sacrifices for the Holy Grail'?!"

Saber looked at Irisviel in shock. She had no idea about this.

"Saber, Illya is right."

"We, the Einzberns, are artificial humans created to serve as vessels for the Holy Grail."

"I don't know how Illya did it, but she has indeed completely broken free from the Holy Grail's influence."

Irisviel looked at the young man standing beside Illya.

"Mr. Akira, was it you who helped Illya sever her connection to the Holy Grail?"

"That's correct."

Akira didn't elaborate.

He had come today to plant the seeds for future plans.

Taking Irisviel directly would be too difficult.

Suddenly, a system notification chimed in Akira's mind.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host, for triggering a villain quest!]

[Quest Level: Purple]

[Quest: Irisviel's Footsteps]

[Quest Location: Irisviel's feet.]

Akira glanced at the beach and walked toward Irisviel's white boots lying on the sand.

Picking up the boots, Akira approached Irisviel.

"Irisviel, do you trust this man?"

"Breaking free from the Holy Grail must be a very difficult task," Saber said, still shielding Irisviel.

"Anyway, to avoid catching a cold, would you like to put these back on?"

Akira ignored Saber and walked straight toward Irisviel.

Without Kiritsugu's permission, Saber couldn't use her Noble Phantasm.

And without her Noble Phantasm, Saber posed no threat to Akira.
