After finishing the conversation with his beautiful subordinates, Eiji left from the World Tree— a cosmic treasure from The Legendary Mechanic that could create hidden dimensions.
Except for the women in his harem, no one knew that Shadow Garden's headquarters was in another dimension.
That was why alliance leaders like Sirzechs, Azazel and Odin or others could never find Alpha and the others whenever they had done something big.
"I'm finally home."
At exactly 7 am, Eiji returned to his home and said something that office workers usually said after returning home from working overtime.
However, whoever lived in his house didn't think he was tired. Or rather, he looked very energetic.
*Bang!*
Still, before he was about to open the door, a girl had done it first and was glaring at him.
It was Nana.
And she wasn't alone.
There were also Momo, Oshizu, Mio, Yuki, Kurumi, Asia, Run and other girls who were about to leave for school.
"Yo, my girls." Eiji shamelessly greeted them all.
"....." Girls.
Nana pointed at his face. "Hah! Eiji?! Where have you and Ane-ue (Lala) been all night?!"
[Before this, I believe I teleported Lala home. Didn't she tell you yet?]
[Ah, she doesn't seem to be planning on going to school today and keeps sleeping in my bedroom. Yare-yare.]
[Even so... Do you still have to ask about this kind of thing, Nana?]
Nana ignored what Eiji said in his heart, and continued to point at him. She certainly knew what he had done with her sister overnight.
But she and his other women pretended not to know.
And she was acting the way she was now just because she wanted to.
Naughty girl, Eiji thought.
"We went to my organization's headquarters to visit Alpha and the others. All night, we had a great time."
He answered honestly.
But who was Nana? She had known Eiji for a long time and even if she didn't hear his inner voice and didn't watch the livestream on the group chat.
She knew exactly what he had done that he and Lala didn't come home last night.
"You're doing orgies!? You beast!"
"Nana, how long has it been since I took care of your butt?"
"Kyaa! Mea, let's go to school first!" Nana ran away, but she also grabbed Mea's hand and took her with her.
Mea was confused but didn't refuse, "Goodbye, Senpai~!"
But she didn't forget to say goodbye while blinking one of her eyes at Eiji.
With a short skirt, I don't know if she did it on purpose, the movement as she ran made her light blue striped white panties clearly visible.
[85 points.]
You scored that, Eiji?!
While Mea was happy with the score she got, Momo smiled meaningfully while holding her cheeks. "Ara-ara, Eiji-san... do you want to see my panties too?"
"Momo, what are you suddenly saying? I admit I'm a pervert, but seeing your panties on purpose... I'm not that perverted, okay?"
Eiji refused but just then, his inner voice sounded again.
[If I want, a piece of cloth like a skirt can't actually block my vision.]
[Momo, you're wearing pink panties today. 87 points!]
The heroines were dumbfounded.
Fortunately Eiji had encrypted his inner voice this time, so except for the women living in his house, the other women out there did not hear him having such a terrifying level of vision!
Otherwise, they would definitely be frightened and run away before he could woo them.
As for the women at the scene. Many of them were just numb. After all, Eiji had seen and even touched their bodies.
However, some of them still felt embarrassed especially Oshizu! Among them, she was the only virgin! Her face was as red as Rias' hair, and due to panic, her spirit escaped from her body.
"Oshizu...!"
"Oh no."
"Eiji, it's your fault!"
"My fault? What have I done?"
Run, Kurumi, and Lilith said that in turn.
The other girls looked at him as if he was the culprit.
It wasn't wrong, but Eiji used his acting skills as usual in this situation.
He made an innocent face.
Before Oshizu's fainted spirit flew higher, Asia somehow managed to pull her up and put her back into her body.
"Ugh... I... What happened?" Oshizu seemed to have a bit of amnesia about what happened before she fainted.
That was a good thing for her.
Asia naturally said, "There was a dog that suddenly entered the house earlier. But now Eiji has chased it away, Oshizu-san."
Eiji and the other girls were amazed by how skillful she was at lying!
Asia, are you really a former nun?
Where was all your innocence before?
Oshizu believed what Asia said, she glanced at Eiji shyly. "Eiji, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Anyone who lived in that house knew that Oshizu had an extreme fear of dogs.
Eiji gave Asia a thumbs up in his heart.
He suddenly missed her ass.
"By the way, where is your organization's headquarters, Eiji? This is the first time I've heard you have an organization. Are there other ghosts there?" Oshizu suddenly asked curiously.
She was the only one among them who didn't know about Shadow Garden.
But considering she was a newcomer, it was natural.
"It's in another dimension. Next time, I'll take you there for a walk. There are no ghosts there, and Oshizu... Did you forget you're no longer a ghost, but a living person?"
"Uh... I forgot."
Oshizu blushed because of that.
Probably because she still had her abilities when she was a ghost as she showed earlier.
She often forgot she was now alive.
It also made her thank Eiji again. If it wasn't for him bringing her back to life a month ago, she wouldn't be able to experience the life of a high school girl like now.
Her heart was beating faster than usual.
This feeling...
[Our king, you seem to be able to cook raw rice with Oshizu. As long as you ask her, she won't refuse and agree!]
Ahem. Leme, calm down.
I'm not going to do it now.
There's no need to rush.
After all, he already ate a lot last night.
Mio folded her hands under her large breasts. "Alright, stop teasing Oshizu, Eiji. Hurry up and change your clothes! We're leaving for school soon!"
She wasn't jealous.
But really worried that they would be late for school.
Eiji snapped his fingers and instantly, his clothes changed into Kuoh Academy's school uniform.
"I'm ready, let's go to school."
Mio and the other girls were not surprised he could do that.
Soon, they all left for school together.
That morning, Eiji did his routine as a high school student as usual. But during the lunch break.
He decided to return to his house and invite certain women to return to the world of Fate.
In front of Aoi's parents' house.
"Waaah! We've only been gone a few days, but the grass on the lawn has already grown so tall!"
Rin exclaimed when she saw the scene in front of her.
"Onee-chan, we've obviously been gone for so long." Sakura said.
She was smarter than her older sister
Rin glanced at her in confusion, "Sakura, what do you mean?"
"Onii-chan..."
Sakura called out to Eiji as if asking him to explain.
"Eiji, how long have we been away from this world? There seems to be a time difference." Irisviel asked her husband.
Aoi, Sola, Maiya, Artoria, Medea and Okita had the same question.
Feeling everyone's gaze on him, Eiji smiled and casually answered. "Well, according to my (Rasiel's) calculations, we have been gone from this world for about 10 years."
"10 years!?"
Among them, Rin was the most surprised by that information.
In the other world (Draconic Deus), they had obviously only stayed for a week or so, but once they returned to this world, 10 years had passed.
She began to panic and wondered what had happened to the Tohsaka family home and the legacy her father had left behind?
Money.
In this situation, Rin was worried about her family's money.
In the original work, because the Fourth Holy Grail War made her family's fortune plummet, she became a very stingy and penny-pinching girl.
Knowing what Rin was thinking, Eiji was amused.
"Yes, but there's no need to worry about losing anything. Ever since we got back here, I've been manipulating reality a bit and making everyone related to you guys think you've been living somewhere for ten years."
"There was no panic and every one of my father-in-laws got news once every few months before this."
"Oh, the Tohsaka family home is also fine and only needs cleaning."
What she said made Irisviel, Aoi, Sola and Rin relieved.
Artoria, Medea and Okita did not care much about such a large time difference. After all, they were Servants who each came from a different era.
But a yandere girl like Sakura... Her Onii-chan was her home, she didn't care about the rest.
"Yosh! Let's do some cleaning together! First, pull the grass!" Irisviel suddenly invited everyone to clean up.
Many of them were reluctant.
"Um... How about using magic? Eiji and Medea-san can do it, right?" Rin suggested a more efficient way.
Irisviel pouted. "Why not do it the normal way? That would be more fun."
It was not fun.
It was tiring!
Rin complained in her heart and looked at Eiji with a pleading gaze.
Her past arrogant and tsundere self would definitely not do that. But after Eiji helped her get revenge on Kirei, she did not mind bowing her head to him.
Eiji was quite satisfied with the change in Rin's attitude, he glanced at his wife and said, "Iris, I don't want you and the others to get tired from pulling all this grass. So, leave it to your husband."
He snapped his fingers and instantly, the grass in Aoi's yard was shortened and any dust in the house had also disappeared.
While everyone was happy, Irisviel was a little disappointed.
But since it was her husband's wish, she did not complain.
Good woman.
On the other side.
When Eiji and the others returned to that world, Alaya and Gaia certainly noticed.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
The former tried to check the future and sure enough, she again couldn't see anything.
"That guy came back again and interrupted our work!"
"Alaya, calm down. This might not be bad."
"Huh?"
Alaya looked at Gaia in confusion.
She didn't understand.
How could Eiji's return not be bad?
"During the ten years without his and those few women's presence, the parallel world he's in has deviated from its original path."
"That's bad and his presence might help us to solve some problems."
"For now, let's wait."
Gaia was a very cunning woman.
Alaya admired her as an ally, but she disliked her when she became her enemy.
She snorted and said, "Well, that may be true. I will give Eiji Seiya some time before annihilating him with my last trump card."
You mean my trump card?
Gaia rolled her eyes.
True Ancestor was powerful, but she doubted it was enough to defeat Eiji.
Unlike Alaya who was overconfident despite having failed many times, she would rather make Eiji their ally than make him an enemy.
...
Eiji felt the scrutiny of Counter Force, Alaya and Gaia on him for a moment. However, he didn't care.
If he wanted, he could go to them but not now.
The two women still needed to do their jobs as usual, and give him opportunities to get rewards.
And from his shadow soldiers that he had scattered in this world, he knew what interesting things had happened over the past ten years.
The storyline of Fate/Stay Night is still to begin, but since the protagonist Shirou's parents didn't die in the fire caused by Kiritsugu like in the original work.
He has now grown into a different person. He's still naive, but... Heh, this is quite interesting.
The Fifth Holy Grail War is also about to begin although as of now, the participants have not been chosen.
"Cough! Cough!" Rin suddenly choked as she ate the hamburger.
Just a moment ago.
Irisviel wanted to eat a hamburger and fries for lunch.
So, Eiji ordered a lot of food from McDonald's online.
They were all eating together in front of the TV before this happened.
"Rin, don't eat too fast. You often choke because of that." Aoi reprimanded her daughter and gave her a glass of water.
Rin's cheeks were slightly flushed with embarrassment, but she quickly showed the back of her left hand which had something on it. "Mom, I'm choking because of this! Isn't this a sign that one is chosen to be a participant in the Holy Grail War?"
"That's..." Aoi was surprised.
What was on the back of Rin's left hand was a Command Spell!
"Rin, you have been selected to participate in the next Holy Grail War." Artoria narrowed her eyes with a serious expression.
But there was sauce and mayonnaise in her mouth.
[Miss knight, why don't you wipe your mouth with a tissue first?]
Ah!
Artoria panicked, she quickly wiped her mouth before greedily eating her hamburger again.
She couldn't help herself from doing so.
Medea and Okita shook their heads.
Putting aside the King of Knights' ridiculous behavior, Eiji nodded. "Rin, congratulations to you. But do you want to participate in the Holy Grail War yourself? If not, I can do something to change that."
More precisely, he could hack the Holy Grail System as he had done in the past.
Still, since Rin was chosen to be a participant in the Fifth Holy Grail War as in the original work.
That proves that although things have changed. The storylines in Fate/Stay Night still had some similarities.
Rin without hesitation said, "Yes! I want to participate in the Holy Grail War this time and achieve glory for the Tohsaka family."
"Then do it. I will support you."
"Onii-chan..."
She suddenly called Eiji by that nickname again.
Rin was moved without knowing that Ishtar had used her body to do lewd things with him.
Still, this development is good, Sakura thought.
"Rin, mom also supports you. But you have to be careful, okay?" Aoi said in support.
Irisviel, Artoria and Irisviel did the same.
They were encouraging her.
How could Rin not be happy?
"I'll be careful. All of you, thank you. I will definitely win!"
[Even so, isn't this cheating?]
Eiji's inner voice rang out.
Rin was stunned.
What? What's cheating?
[Unlike the other masters, Rin is now a Pseudo-Servant. Because she has a Divine Spirit like Ishtar inside her.]
[She alone can defeat most Servants by herself.]
The heroines: Now that you mention it...
Rin did cheat.
But there's no rule that Pseudo-Servants are forbidden from becoming masters in the Holy Grail War.
So it should be fine.
Rin thinks so too and is getting more and more confident that she'll win! Protagonist Shirou or whoever her opponent was in the Fifth Holy Grail War would not be able to stop her.
{Hm... good spirit, little girl.}
Stop calling me little girl, Ishtar!
I'm almost the same height as you now.
Rin complained to Ishtar who was talking inside her head.
Speaking of height, she had indeed grown taller in just a few days in Draconic Deus.
She experienced rapid growth just like her younger sister, Sakura. So after ten years in this world, his height comparable to that of a high school girl could be considered normal.
The same was true for Sakura.
Both of their figures had grown like versions of themselves in the Fate/Stay Night storyline. But they had become more beautiful— the former due to having the Goddess inside her and the latter due to the buff of the Master-Servant contract.
Rin had it too, but she hadn't realized it yet.
Eiji suddenly remembered someone.
[A girl, host?]
Miss System, how did you know?
[Please don't ask about something where the answer is obvious.]
"....."
This woman is rude as usual.
But put that aside. A girl who was Rin's rival in the original work should also have grown up, right?
After Sola finished visiting her family, he would probably ask for her help in bringing them together.
In the meantime.
This was too coincidental.
On the same day, since Eiji's return to the world of Fate.
It was already late afternoon, a blue-colored light suddenly exploded in the forest behind a high school.
After the light at that location disappeared, two people were seen standing side by side.
One was a boy with disheveled black hair.
The other was a girl with shoulder-length pink hair in a tight black bodysuit that accentuated her figure.
"Landing confirmation... Biological parameters are stable. Master, are you okay? No nausea?"
The girl's name was Mash Kyrielight.
She was a Demi-Servant, a human who joined or was possessed by a Heroic Spirit.
The boy she asked was her master, Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Chaldea had given them a mission.
That was why they had Rayshifted to Fuyuki City in this timeline to stop an anomaly called Singularity F!
Otherwise, the human race would become extinct.
"I'm fine, Mash. But... something is strange. There's no smell of smoke or sulfur here."
Fujimaru surveyed their surroundings in confusion.
Mash looked around with wide eyes.
"This... can't be. Senpai, look, the buildings in front of us are intact. There's no fire, no ruins, and my spiritron detector isn't picking up any Shadow Servants signals at all."
"Fuyuki who is... peaceful? Are our coordinates wrong, Mash?"
Mash checked the device in her hand. "The time coordinates remain 2004, but this is not the Singularity F we know. This is the normal Fuyuki City. Look over there, Senpai... people are walking home quietly. School children, cars passing by... This is human history in the real Fuyuki City."
In other words, were they sent to the wrong time?
If Eiji had to answer, he would definitely say no. You two came to the right place!
The protagonist and heroine of Fate/Grand Order had come to the timeline he was in.
This was going to be fun.
Mash didn't know if it was her hallucination, she felt her butt was slightly cold despite the normal temperature around her.
...
A/N: For those wondering about the update schedule between this book and my new book. I will still update alternately and because I'm worried about my health, I won't force myself either. So, it may not be every week that I do daily chapter writing. Sometimes, I also take time to rest.
