Mo Shuying sat by the window, looking out through the snow-covered glass. The night was very quiet.
The battle meeting had ended. Emiya Shirou volunteered to stand watch, informing everyone that he owned a large house in Fuyuki City and they could go there once dawn broke.
The Emiya Shirou of this world truly had a car (a bicycle) and a house. His parents were deceased, and he lived only with Miyu. Now, he was forced to become a grand hero, upholding Kiritsugu's ideals and becoming an ally of justice.
However, in front of his sister, no belief mattered. Anyone who touched his sister would face his wrath! Whether it was the end of the world or a Heroic Spirit Servant, he would pierce through them all!
Emiya Shirou was now transforming into Nameless Emiya. His eyesight had improved, making standing watch more than sufficient.
Mo Shuying wasn't awake because he feared an ambush, but because someone else was lying on his bed.
Angelica lay quietly on the bed, still as a sleeping beauty.
She was badly injured by Kuro and Bazett's attacks. Even as a "doll" with good recovery abilities, she wouldn't regain consciousness anytime soon.
It had to be said, Angelica was very beautiful, and her figure was quite impressive. In her current state, a beastly person would have simply taken advantage.
But Mo Shuying wasn't interested. It wasn't that he was less of a beast, but Angelica had lost her emotions, and her emotional fluctuations were very faint. This kind of woman was very cold, perhaps worse than some high-tech products, because those high-tech products could at least emit sounds and even heat up, believe it or not.
"Stop pretending to be asleep if you're awake. Let's talk."
Mo Shuying noticed Angelica's sudden change in breathing speed. Although it quickly returned to its previous rhythm, it was very obvious to Mo Shuying.
"What do you want?"
Angelica opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat empty, devoid of sparkle.
As someone who had followed Darius for a long time, Angelica understood Darius's character. The fact that she was still here clearly meant she had been abandoned.
"How much do you know about Darius?"
Mo Shuying spoke, but received only silence.
"What about Julian?"
"..."
"I killed Darius. Do you think it's possible to rescue Julian?"
"..."
"Do you truly believe Darius can save the world?"
"...Yes."
This time, Angelica spoke, though it was only one word.
"Why do you think he can?"
"Because I have no other way."
She was quite straightforward. Mo Shuying smiled upon hearing that.
"Are you still going to serve Darius now?"
"...No. I've been abandoned. That means I have no more connection with the Einzworth Family."
Angelica's brow furrowed slightly. She clutched the blanket tightly, as if saying this was very difficult.
"Oh, is that so? Then tell me Darius's weaknesses, so we can deal with him."
"..."
Angelica fell silent again. Although she had been abandoned, she couldn't immediately betray Darius, so she said:
"I've been abandoned. Even if you don't kill me, I won't be your enemy anymore. I won't attack you again. But I also won't betray my former master."
Angelica stared at Mo Shuying, her gaze incredibly firm.
Mo Shuying scoffed.
"Heh, it's easy to say anything. But don't worry, we treat our captives well. We won't do anything to you. As long as you behave, we'll provide food, lodging, and arrangements."
Mo Shuying felt there was nothing more to gain from questioning her, so he stopped talking and waited for dawn.
Angelica lay on the bed for a long time, slowly closed her eyes, and then spoke.
"In the afternoon, two Mages broke into the family's residence. They were two girls. Beatrice and I subdued them. I remember they were with Young Lady Miyu. They were from another world. We didn't kill them, but replaced their wills, turning them into obedient puppets. I don't know what will happen to them now. That's all I can say."
Angelica closed her eyes after speaking, saying no more.
Mo Shuying raised an eyebrow, knowing immediately that Angelica was referring to Tohsaka Rin and Luvia. He then remembered that in the plot, these two were indeed captured and controlled.
Mo Shuying had watched the Prisma Illya plot a long time ago, and some details weren't very clear in his memory. Angelica's reminder brought them back. It seemed Luvia even showed off some benefits...
"Thank you."
Mo Shuying flipped off the windowsill, said his thanks, and left the room. Bazett and Emiya Shirou were also awake, so the three of them began discussing their next plan...
Einzworth Family
Beatrice sat on the ground in a duck-like posture, head bowed, not daring to look at the furious Darius. She didn't even dare to breathe.
Darius was currently pacing, clutching his hair, while Erica next to him was teary-eyed.
"Father~ Please don't be like this, I'm scared~"
Startled by Erica's fear, Darius stopped abruptly.
He looked at Erica, his eyes darting around before he smiled, approached her, and knelt on one knee, saying with a grin,
"Erica~ do you think Papa did something wrong?"
Erica sniffled a few times, then said in a tearful voice,
"No, no! Father is doing all this to save the world! It's, it's Big Sister Miyu and those bad people who are causing trouble! I, I won't like Big Sister Miyu anymore!"
Erica's words made Darius smile and nod in satisfaction.
"Good, it's all their fault, Erica. If they come after Papa, you'll help Papa deal with them, won't you?"
Darius asked in an alluring voice.
Erica paused, then began to fidget. Only after seeing the impatience in Darius's eyes did she immediately nod.
"Mhm! Erica can do it! I'll eliminate all of them!"
"That's right! That's my good [daughter]! If they dare to come, then don't let them leave! Except for Miyu, leave no one else alive! Beatrice!"
"Here! Lord Julian!"
Beatrice jolted and looked up at Darius.
"Take this card. If the enemy attacks, don't leave a single one alive. And I'm entrusting these two to you as well. Use them well. If they truly have a strong bond, then their usefulness will be no less than a Class Card."
Darius flicked his hand, sending a card flying, and at the same time, with a wave of his hand, two maids, one red and one blue, emerged from the shadows, their eyes vacant, like puppets.
"This is?! I understand, my lord! I won't disappoint you!"
Beatrice took the card and, seeing a different pattern on it than the seven Class Cards, her heart stirred, and she immediately put the card away.
"Go, complete this task well. Don't disappoint me again. You saw what happened to Angelica; I don't want you to be the second Angelica."
Darius said coldly.
At the mention of Angelica, Erica and Beatrice both trembled, lowering their heads, not daring to say more, afraid that they would be the ones discarded next.
