The smell of dust and blood filled the air in the empty Ainz Belem Castle.
Berserker's blood was all over the ruins, proving that he had died eight times to fight for his chance.
After Gilgamesh's figure disappeared, the Lock of Heaven that bound him also disappeared. The black beast that had been resurrected turned to look at Roman.
There was no madness in his black eyes. On the contrary, they were very rational. After thanking Luo Men with his eyes, he turned into a spirit body as if he had completed a mission.
"Oh…"
Almost at the same time, Ilya, who had exhausted her mana, fell to the ground with a pale face.
Before she fell to the ground, Luo Men took a step forward and held her in his arms.
Berserker died eight times. The high-speed resurrection and full-force assault still relied on Ilya's magic power. Berserker quickly turned into a spirit body and disappeared, probably to reduce Ilya's burden.
Luo Men tidied Ilya's messy hair, carried her petite body, and walked out of the castle.
Outside the collapsed castle, Saber leaned on his sword and waited for him with a gentle expression.
"Saber, aren't you going to ask me anything?”
"No."
Saber shook his head and took off his armor. He revealed a smile that was as elegant as a breeze.
"I'll listen to whatever Luo Men wants to say. If you don't want to say it, I'll wait for the day you want to say it. This is a sign of my loyalty to you."
"…Thanks, Saber.”
The two of them smiled at each other and left the forest together.
===================================================
…Time went back to a month ago.
In the mountains that were covered in snow for most of the year, Ilya summoned Berserker.
The Ainz Belem family had been searching for the Holy Grail for more than ten centuries. After creating the ritual of the Holy Grail War, they had gone crazy for victory.
The first time, he didn't have any leeway to tamper with it. The second time, he discovered a flaw in the rules. The third time, he summoned something that shouldn't be there.
On the fourth try, he obtained the strongest chess piece and hunting dog. Victory was in sight.
They allowed the magician killer named Amiya Keishi to marry the family's most perfect " work ", Alice Phil, and even gave him the scabbard of the strongest knight.
However, in the end, the Hound they chose betrayed them and destroyed the Holy Grail that they had already obtained. The Ainz Belem family was incomparably furious. They understood that they absolutely should not trust outsiders. If he wanted to succeed, he had to rely on his own bloodline.
Therefore, on the fifth time, they made the man's daughter into a work that surpassed Elisfall. Although he would not live past the age of 18, and his bodily functions would forever remain at the age of 12, he was still the most perfect Master.
This was not enough. In order to add a layer of insurance, they broke the rules a month before the Holy Grail War and summoned Berserker.
After that, it was hell for the girl.
Without the aid of the Holy Grail, the Heroic Spirit had to rely on her for all of its mana supply. Berserker's every move would bring her heart-wrenching pain, making her scream.
Even the cyborgs retained their sense of pain. This was also their evil interest.
Not only that, they left the girl and Berserker in the wilderness without any food or clothing. They wanted her to survive the hungry wolves.
The girl could only rely on the black giant. But in order to protect her, the black giant had to take her life. Even holding her in his arms to keep her warm would cause her endless pain.
The girl despised Berserker's ugliness and cursed his existence. But at the same time, she relied on him and felt extremely happy because of his existence.
It was as if she treated him as her father.
However, the black giant, who protected him like a father, was completely defenseless in front of the blond man. Countless times, his limbs were cut off and his head was chopped off. Even if he was resurrected, he would die instantly.
The giant foolishly charged forward, not backing down even though he knew he would die-all to protect her behind him.
She endured the pain and shouted, hoping that someone could save him-save herself.
She didn't want to be abandoned by her father for the second time. She didn't want to be alone for the second time.
If I must die…I hope I can die with my father.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me.”
“……”
Compared to Berserker, he had a very thin body, a somewhat unreliable back view, and a careless expression.
However, he was relieved.
Unlike his father, his embrace was a little rough. It was the feeling of not being used to carrying a girl. However, there was a refreshing warmth, unconcealed gentleness, and straightforwardness.
He would not lie. He would definitely resolve everything perfectly and protect himself.
He was a little unreliable and a little frivolous, but his axis was firmer than anyone else's. He was a straightforward and gentle person...
===================================================
"Oh…"
Ilya opened her eyes with a soft sound. Beside her, Romain immediately went over.
Although her face was still a little pale, she had already recovered a lot. Luo Men smiled and extended his hand to greet her,
"Good morning, Elia-chan."
"Luo…Men? This place…"
"This is the house of Shiro Wei Gong. After I beat up that golden retriever, I carried you here. Berserker is still there, but it's best not to summon him until your mana is restored. Your two maids are here too. Don't worry.”
"Is that so…Luo Men is really reliable.”
A warm feeling filled Ilya's body. Even though she couldn't even stand properly, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
It would be fine if she stayed here, and it would be fine if she stayed by this person's side…It must be so.
Although she didn't want to be protected by him all the time, it didn't matter if she acted coquettishly now.
Unable to hold back her heavy eyelids, Ilya, who had relaxed, murmured in a cute voice,"
" I'm so tired…Good night, Brother…"
"Okay, good night."
Ilya closed her eyes and breathed steadily.
At the same time, a sparkling key formed on her chest and entered Luo Men's ring.
[Ilya's favorability: 87]
After completely relaxing, she suddenly felt a sense of dependence. How does it feel to be relied on by a little girl?
"I feel like I can finally understand how it feels to have a daughter.”
Unlike Ling and Saber, Ilya had aroused Romain's desire to protect her. Being able to be trusted by her, Luo Men was filled with pride.
After tidying Ilya's blanket, Roman stretched and left the room.
There was a hell waiting for him outside.
Ilya's two maids stood on either side of the door. Ling was staring at Romain with a subtle expression while Saber was drinking tea at the table as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere in the living room was like ice, and there were countless needles floating in the air. Even the slightest movement would pierce through his heart. This was the feeling of danger.
This was the largest Asura Arena to date. Furthermore, it was without a doubt Ling's biggest question about whether or not Luo Men was a lolicon.
"Anyway, let's talk while eating, okay?”
People of China should still talk at the dining table---This was the first time in Luo Men's life that he was so grateful for the banquet culture of his motherland.
