"Mmm..." Hisayu Maiya tried to speak, but her mouth was taped shut.
Haruka Kasugano immediately tore the tape off her mouth.
"Was it you who took Madam Irisviel?" Maiya demanded.
"Is that all you care about right now?" Haruka Kasugano waved the cloth around a few times, then held it to his nose and smelled it.
"Smells so good! It's full of Lady Irisviel's scent!"
Hisayu Maiya gritted her teeth in anger at Haruka Kasugano's actions.
"What did you do to Lady Irisviel? If a single hair on her head is shed, I will never let you get away with it!" Hisayu Maiya cursed.
"What could I do to such a beautiful woman?" Haruka Kasugano chuckled.
"You—" Hisayu Maiya gritted her teeth in anger.
No. I must calm down.
He looks this composed… which means Kiritsugu hasn't discovered that Irisviel and I are missing yet…
My life doesn't matter—but Irisviel must be protected!
She is the person Kiritsugu Emiya loves most. If she's harmed by this beast, Kiritsugu will be devastated!
For Kiritsugu's sake… I must protect Irisviel from this monster!
"Don't hurt her! We can negotiate terms!" Maiya proposed.
"Really? Do you know what I want?" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
Hisamu Maiya recalled the scene of him touching her yesterday and gritted her teeth, saying, "I know… I'll make you feel good…"
"But you have to promise me you won't touch Irisviel!" Hisamu Maiya confirmed.
"Of course! As long as you satisfy me!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
So, Haruka Kasugano untied the ropes binding Hisamu Maiya's upper body, then sat down boldly.
"Come on, although you don't look like someone who knows how to do this, I just want you to do it." Haruka Kasugano laughed.
Hisamu Maiya propped herself up with her hands, her injuries hadn't fully healed, and her whole body was still in pain.
She stared at Haruka Kasugano's exposed groin, a thought flashing through her mind.
If she attacked now… would he die?
Haruka Kasugano, seeing her fierce gaze fixed on his groin, guessed her thoughts.
So Haruka Kasugano removed the Command Seal from his arm and chuckled, "You'd better behave, or my Servant won't let Irisviel off the hook!"
"You…" Maiya Hisau hadn't expected Haruka Kasugano to be a Master too.
Whose Master?
Why isn't there any information about him in the records…?
No, there's one Master without information… that's Caster's Master!
He's Caster's Master!
But wasn't Caster dead?
…No, no one witnessed Caster's death.
We've all been tricked by him!
"Since you're a participant in the Holy Grail War, why don't you fight for the Holy Grail? What are you doing all these despicable things for?" Maiya Hisau demanded.
"Is it possible... that my wish is to have a beauty like you?" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
"Hahahaha!"
Helpless, Maiya Hisau had no choice but to abandon her plan to attack Haruka Kasugano.
After all, whether she could kill Haruka Kasugano was uncertain, but Irisviel would definitely be hurt because of her recklessness.
No... she had to sacrifice herself to ensure Irisviel's safety!
So, Maiya Hisau closed her eyes and reluctantly crawled towards Haruka Kasugano.
"Ah..." she clumsily opened her small mouth.
"Hmm... not bad, a bit clumsy, but the strength is acceptable!" Haruka Kasugano commented.
And so it went on for a long time.
*Smack!*
At one point, Zhong Xuan suddenly struck her in anger..
"Don't use your teeth! Idiot!" Haruka Kasugano cursed.
"Sorry... I'm not very good at it..." Maiya Hisau apologized through gritted teeth.
She had to endure it.
"Alright, lie down, let me taste you!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
So, Maiya Hisau lay down with a resentful expression.
Haruka Kasugano unbuttoned her black clothes and began to appreciate her.
Maiya Hisau was an absolute beauty, with long, slender legs and toned muscles—a sporty beauty!
"Ah—" Maiya Hisau cried out unwillingly.
What's going on…
Why don't I feel this even when it's not Kiritsugu…
Maiya Hisau was instantly bewildered, her eyes vacant, as if life had lost its luster.
The sensations in her body reminded her of the tragedy that occurred during her teenage years.
Ah…
I've been tricked…
I'm pregnant again…
No, it's different… This time I'm doing this to save Irisviel…
I'm doing this for Kiritsugu…
The basement was poorly ventilated and very stuffy, the two of them were quickly covered in sweat.
Maiya Hisau pulled her clothes tighter, covering her body.
"Very good, I'm very satisfied with your performance! From now on, you're my woman, and I'll treat you well," Haruka Kasugano said with a smile.
"Yes… as long as you keep your promise, I'll try to serve you well…" Maiya Hisau reluctantly agreed.
Tears of resentment welled up in her eyes.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully made Maiya Hisau "voluntarily" serve you! Netori Thief mission completed!]
[Reward: Host with the new skill "Designated Exchange"! You can exchange positions with your servants. Cooldown time: 1 day!]
"…"
That's it?
Just one reward?
Didn't completing missions usually reward multiple rewards?
Only one reward for every 10% increase in infidelity rate. Why is it only one reward even after successfully completing the Netori traitor mission?
Has the system become stingy?
No…no…
Could it be…that the system's Netori quests also have target ratings?
Tohsaka Aoi and Sola have similar ratings, so their rewards seem similar.
But Hisau Maiya's rating is much lower than theirs, so her reward is lower?
[Host guessed correctly! Tohsaka Aoi and Sola's rating is B, while Hisau Maiya's rating is C.]
Just as I thought!
Wait, then Irisviel's rating must be higher than Tohsaka Aoi and Sola's, so her reward will be very generous, right?
[Irisviel is A-rank!]
Hehehe.
To be honest, I'm starting to look forward to it.
Although it's better to use the reward to save her!
After finishing all this, Haruka Kasugano tied Hisau Maiya up again.
"Behave yourself, don't try anything funny, and don't even think about escaping, or I'll break my promise to you!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
"I know…" Hisau Maiya nodded, feeling utterly hopeless. So, Haruka Kasugano left.
Hisau Maiya was a woman with extremely strong military discipline. Since she had decided to save Irisviel in this way, she would carry it out diligently. So she closed her eyes, trying to reassure herself to stay there.
Soon, she fell asleep.
...
Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya sat beside the incense burner at Ryūdō Temple, exhausted and deep in thought.
He had not closed his eyes for nearly forty hours, fully focused on searching for Irisviel.
He had tracked every possible lead.
He infiltrated the Matou residence and learned from Kariya Matou that Irisviel had been taken by Kirei Kotomine.
From there, he deduced that Kirei's goal must be to initiate the Holy Grail's descent ritual—something that had to be conducted at one of the city's four major ley lines.
He searched them one by one.
The Tohsaka residence was empty, bloodstains suggesting that Tokiomi Tohsaka may have met misfortune.
The Church was silent, though signs of battle remained.
Now, at Ryūdō Temple, there was still no sign of her.
Only one location remained—the civic hall in the city center.
Sitting there, Kiritsugu felt a heavy sorrow in his heart.
…Every time he thought about how the women beside him eventually left him, grief overwhelmed him.
At that moment, Artoria Pendragon entered.
Her posture remained dignified, but her eyes were filled with fatigue and loss.
"Kiritsugu… I…"
She paused before speaking again.
"Since last night, I've searched the entire city for Irisviel. But there's no trace of her anywhere…" she said softly, guilt in her voice.
The previous night, misled by Lancelot's transformation, she had recklessly chased after Iskandar and engaged him in battle.
In her fury, she unleashed her Noble Phantasm—Excalibur—while Iskandar charged head-on with his chariot.
The clash had shaken the night.
And now, everything felt uncertain.
