"Cough cough!"
A deliberately cough, thick with tension, interrupted the tender conversation.
Rin Tohsaka had somehow gotten close to us. She crossed her arms, her black twin tails sticking up high in displeasure, and said in a sour tone, "Hey! You, don't think you can get someone just by sweet-talking them! Gu Chuan belongs to all of us. His safety is my responsibility as a veteran who has followed him twice!"
She squeezed to Gu Chuan's other side, practically clinging to his arm, and looked at Shinobu Kocho provocatively with a domineering gesture: "Besides, when it comes to serving, I, the omnipotent genius magician, am far more professional than you, the doctor who only knows how to use poison!"
“Ara ara,” Shinobu Kocho looked at Rin’s haughty, cat-like appearance and instead of being angry, she revealed a cunning smile. “Miss Rin, are you… jealous? But some things can’t be solved by expertise alone.”
An invisible yet intense spark ignited between the two girls once again.
The banquet lasted until late at night.
As the revelers gradually dispersed, Shinobu Kocho, carrying a tray with clean clothes to change into, walked alone towards the quietest courtyard where Gu Chuan was.
Her heart was pounding, filled with both nervousness and an unprecedented anticipation of happiness.
Meanwhile, in another guest room, Rin Tohsaka was also tossing and turning on the tatami mat, clutching a pillow, engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Damn it! That Shinobu Kocho, she's definitely up to no good! I... I can't lose! Should... should we... launch a night raid tonight? No, no, no! That's too... too shameless! But... what if she beats us to it?!
The girl's dilemma is full of the troubles of youth.
However, they were unaware that the real hunter had already laid a trap, waiting for the prey to walk right into it.
Shinobu took a deep breath, finally mustered her courage, and walked to the door of Gu Chuan's room.
Her slender, fair hand, trembling slightly, slowly rose, preparing to push open the paper door that represented her future happiness.
at this time--
A ghostly, icy blue figure appeared behind her without warning.
Shinobu Kocho didn't even have time to react. She felt a numbness in the back of her neck, followed by a powerful yet perfectly controlled force. Her vision went black, and she completely lost consciousness.
Esdeath caught her petite, limp body, her face still bearing that smile of absolute confidence and disdain.
"Naive little girl, you can't get to the strong by such a lukewarm method."
She casually carried the unconscious Shinobu Kocho to the nearby corridor, where she leaned against a pillar, posing as if she had fallen asleep after drinking.
After doing all this, she glanced again in the direction of Rin Tohsaka's room.
"As for the other noisy sparrow..."
Inside the room, Rin Tohsaka suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over.
What...what's going on...my body...I can't move...she was horrified to discover that she couldn't even lift a single finger. It's...it's in the tea...no! It's air! That crazy woman...she actually used such despicable methods!
Before her consciousness completely sank into darkness, she only had time to curse Esdeath a thousand times in her heart.
After overcoming all the "obstacles," Esdeath straightened her impeccably white military uniform, a victorious smile of triumph and conquest on her face.
Without any further hesitation, she pushed open Gu Chuan's door with a domineering yet elegant, queen-like posture.
Inside the room, Gu Chuan was sitting by the window, as if he had expected her arrival. He was holding a cup of still-warm sake and calmly watching her.
"I knew you'd come." Gu Chuan smiled helplessly.
Esmerald walked towards him step by step, her high-heeled boots making a dull yet oppressive sound on the tatami mat.
She walked up to Gu Chuan, looking down at him with an undisguised, blazing fire burning in her icy blue eyes.
She didn't say anything superfluous or rambling, but instead, in an unquestionable, declarative tone, uttered her unique opening line:
"—I, the general, am the first."
"If you're not convinced, you can challenge me again."
Looking into her eyes, which were filled with aggression and possessiveness, and at her cheeks, which were slightly flushed with excitement, Gu Chuan finally put down his wine glass and sighed helplessly and amusedly.
That's it.
There is no reasoning with this incorrigible Queen who believes in absolute power.
Letting things take their natural course might be the best choice.
He reached out and pulled the Ice Queen, who had offered herself to him, into his arms.
The moonlight outside the window quietly hid behind the clouds. The atmosphere in the room quickly heated up, becoming fiery and... filled with a primal, wild energy of conquest and subjugation.
And the other side.
Inside the banquet hall, the Demon Slayer Corps members were still immersed in the revelry and dancing after surviving the ordeal, completely unaware that in their unseen backyard, a true hunt concerning "sovereignty" had already begun to unfold, and was coming to an end in the most unexpected way.
After celebrating with her companions for a long time, Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Pillar, waited anxiously for Shinobu Kocho. She had originally planned to go with Shinobu to thank Gu Chuan, but found that her sister had not returned yet.
"Strange... Where did Miss Shinobu go?"
With a hint of doubt and unease, she decided to go to Gu Chuan's courtyard herself to see what had happened...
The Fate and New Journey of the 77 Shrine Maidens
As the first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the paper door and gently fell upon the tatami mats, Rin Tohsaka slowly awoke from a deep sleep.
"Ugh... my head hurts so much..." She pressed her throbbing temples, struggling to sit up, her mind a complete blank. Her memory of last night stopped at sensing Esdeath's presence, and then... then she remembered nothing at all.
She looked around abruptly and found herself still lying safely in the bedding of the guest room, but her body felt an abnormal sense of powerlessness, as if her magic had been suppressed.
"It's...medicine?!"
Her magician instincts kicked in instantly! She checked her body and surroundings, finding no signs of violation, but a faint, cold, and domineering aura belonging to Eds lingered in the air!
"Ace, Si, De, Si—!!!"
A roar, suppressed with extreme rage, exploded in Lin's heart! She instantly understood everything that had happened last night! That despicable, shameless, and violent woman had actually used such a low-down method as drugging her to make her unconscious, and then... then she went to raid Gu Chuan at night!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!"
Rin trembled with rage, her two golden twin tails seemingly about to stand on end from her fury. She grabbed her phone, practically smashing the screen, and tapped on the only place she could vent her anger—[Cross-Dimensional Film Club]!
At the same time, under the corridor of the Butterfly Mansion, Shinobu Kocho slowly opened her eyes.
A sharp pain shot through the back of her neck. She stared blankly at the already cold midnight snack she had prepared for Gu Chuan in her arms, and the haori that someone had kindly draped over her body. Fragments of her memory began to slowly piece together.
She remembered. She was carrying a late-night snack when she walked to Gu Chuan's door, and then... that icy blue figure appeared from behind...
"!!!"
A bone-chilling cold instantly shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head! But this time, it wasn't from fear, but from extreme anger stemming from being tricked and outmaneuvered!
For the first time, a chilling, icy expression, even more terrifying than Esdeath's, appeared on her usually gentle, smiling face.
“Miss Esdeath…” she uttered the name slowly and deliberately, her beautiful purple eyes devoid of any gentleness, filled only with a tangible, chilling killing intent.
She also took out her own device and opened the chat group.
Thus, this morning, which should have been peaceful and serene, was instead engulfed in an unprecedented storm in the chat group!
[Gem Magician]: Ice Queen!!! You despicable and shameless woman! A battle maniac who only knows how to use underhanded tricks! Come out here and face your death!!!
[Butterfly Dance]: Hehe. Ice Queen, I've really learned something. So, to gain the favor of the strong, one needs to use this kind of "thunderous hand"? It seems I was too naive before.
[March 7th]: (Shivering) What, what happened?! Rin-san and Shinobu-san... they're so angry!
【Alicia】: Ara ara~ It seems something very interesting happened last night~ It seems someone... managed to sneak away successfully?
【Ice Queen】: Hmph, the howling of a loser is quite pleasing to the ear.
Esdeath's provocative and disdainful response was like adding fuel to the fire, instantly causing Rin and Shinobu to completely erupt!
[Jewel Magician]: You crazy woman! If you're so capable, have a fair magic duel! What kind of skill is using drugs!
[Butterfly Dance]: Yes, I'd also like to have a good "exchange" with Miss Esdeath on poison-making techniques. Hehehe...
The group chat was filled with tension, and just then, Gu Chuan slowly opened his eyes.
The touch on his arm was as delicate as ice and jade, and the Queen's steady, even breathing. Esdeath, like a contented cat, curled up in his arms, her sleeping face serene, all her domineering aura and sharpness gone, leaving only pure, breathtaking beauty.
Gu Chuan glanced down at the beauty in his arms, then recalled the wild and passionate frenzy of last night, filled with conquest and being conquered. Thinking of the "world war" that had already broken out in the chat group, a helpless yet satisfied smile crept onto his lips.
A perfect life is nothing more than this.
The Demon King has been defeated, the points are in hand, and the tragic fates of Shinobu and the Flame Pillar have been rewritten. The mission in this world can be said to have been completed more than perfectly.
It's time to go back.
Back to Shuchiin, back to the newly established "Super Love Club" full of all sorts of "little troubles".
He carefully pulled his arm out from under Esdeath, covered her with the blanket, and then quietly got up.
When he finished washing up and arrived at the Butterfly House's dining hall, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu Chuan!"
Love Pillar Mitsuri Kanroji was sitting at the table, in front of her a small mountain of empty plates. Upon seeing Gu Chuan, she immediately stood up with a look of delight, her cherry-pink braid bouncing lively with her movement.
"Good morning, Miss Kanroji." Gu Chuan smiled and sat down opposite her. "So early?"
"Mmm! I was so excited yesterday that I woke up as soon as it was light!" Kanroji Mitsuri said, stuffing another large piece of sakura mochi into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out happily. "The sakura mochi here is just so delicious!"
Seeing her unguarded, blissfully happy expression, Gu Chuan's mood lightened. And so, in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, the two shared a breakfast... an incredibly large portion.
When the last piece of sakura mochi was finished, Kanroji Mitsuri suddenly put down her chopsticks. For the first time, a serious expression appeared on her pretty face, which always had an innocent smile.
She sat upright, took a deep breath, and gazed at Gu Chuan with her beautiful emerald green eyes, unblinking and full of anticipation.
"Um... Mr. Gu Chuan!"
"Ok?"
"What you said yesterday...about the shrine maiden..." Her voice was a little nervous, and a cute blush rose to her cheeks. "...I...I've thought about it for a long time! If...if I became a shrine maiden, I could serve the gods forever..."
She abruptly stood up from her seat, bowed deeply to Gu Chuan again, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"—Then, please grant my wish! Please let me be your husband...no! Please let me be your wife! I, Kanroji Mitsuri, am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul!"
This straightforward and passionate confession made Gu Chuan smile. Looking at the girl in front of him, whose face was etched with love and faith, he said frankly, "Miss Ganlu Temple, I am glad about your feelings. However, I already have a wife."
"Eh?" Kanroji Mitsuri was taken aback at first, but then, instead of being disappointed, her face blossomed into an even brighter, sun-like smile!
“It’s alright!” She waved her hand vigorously, her emerald green eyes gleaming with an air of self-righteousness. “Lord Sound Pillar also has three beautiful wives! Isn’t it wonderful that they all live in harmony and work together for their husband?! I want to be like them!”
"..."
Gu Chuan fell silent. (Qian Wang's) Sound Pillar, Yu Zui Tian Yuan! Well done! You've made a great contribution to this world!
[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked the hidden achievement: [The Justification for Polygamy (Otherworld Version)]!]
[Ding! Congratulations! Member Kanroji Mitsuri's affection level towards you has reached MAX, and her loyalty is locked!]
Looking at the Love Pillar in front of him, who had already convinced him with the deeds of her predecessors and had gladly accepted the reality of the harem, Gu Chuan knew that if he refused again, he would seem a bit unromantic.
Moreover, the time left to stay in this world is indeed running out.
Nine | Liu Ba ($2) + Ba Jun There are some things that must be done quickly.
"I understand."
Gu Chuan stood up, walked up to her, and smiled gently.
"Eh?"
Amidst the surprised and bewildered look in Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes, Gu Chuan swept her up in his arms.
"Then, my shrine maiden."
"Before leaving this world, let us first complete... the rituals that belong to the gods."
He held the startled, blushing girl in his arms, turned, and walked towards his room.
The Birth of 78 Rich Women and the Observer's Lottery
In the world of Demon Slayer, the morning sun shines brightly, and the air is filled with a sweet scent of "peace," a feeling of relief after a catastrophe.
In the courtyard of the Butterfly Mansion, the final farewell is taking place.
"Well then, we'll take our leave now." Gu Chuan said calmly, looking at the Demon Slayer Corps members who had come to see him off.
"Lord Gu Chuan...really...won't you stay a few more days?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki's tone was full of sincere entreaty.
"All good things must come to an end." Gu Chuan smiled and shook his head. "This world no longer needs us."
His gaze swept over Shinobu Kocho, whose eyes were brimming with reluctance and gratitude. Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka and Esdeath had already resumed their usual demeanor, one pouting haughtily, the other giving a final, aggressive look as she surveyed the "conquered" world.
