Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

"Saber!"

Irisivel closed her mouth with her hands in shock since Saber had lost.

The strongest Servant that was prepared by the house of Einsbern lost just like that.

She was unable to believe it, and she knew that everything had ended.

Her legs had no power, and she plopped to the ground, hoping that everything was just a dream. Unfortunately, it was the reality. She knew that they had been defeated and no one could help them, including Kiritsugu.

Tears ran down from her beautiful eyes, and she knew that they had no escape anymore.

Everything was meaningless.

However...

'No, there's still a way.'

There was no other way than that.

Even if she had to give her body to Tamazuki, it didn't matter since, no matter what, her heart was only for her husband.

However, whatever the method was, they had to win this Holy Grail since that way, this world would become a better place.

As she made up her mind, she looked at Tamazuki, who picked up Saber in his arms, thinking that... they might still have a chance to fight.

However, with his perverted nature, she knew that he might not feel satisfied with just her body, so...

---

"Master."

Scheherazade approached Tamazuki when Saber was defeated. Only now did she dare to talk since she knew that everything had been solved. Nevertheless, it was impossible to hide her shock since the strongest Servant on this Holy Grail was defeated so easily.

Even though her Master used various tricks to weaken Saber's power, it couldn't be denied that if he wasn't powerful enough, then this battle wouldn't be able to end so easily.

Still, she wondered what he was going to do.

"Caster, stand behind me."

"Okay."

She was obedient and stood behind her while looking at him curiously.

Tamazuki looked at Saber, who had passed out and was wounded severely. Her figure became illusionary, and it was only a time before she disappeared into this world and was absorbed into the Holy Grail.

'No, it should be the Vessel.'

However, he wouldn't let her die since he knew Saber would give him a reward.

Moreover, as one of the main characters in this world, he didn't doubt that the reward given by Saber must be wonderful. He became curious, but before that, he needed to cut down the connection between Saber and Kiritsugu.

Without her resistance and when she was at her weakest moment, her connection with her Master was cut down easily.

Tamazuki didn't hesitate to connect Saber with him, turning her into her Servant, and without hesitation, he quickly healed her, giving her more energy.

Instantly, Saber felt a boundless energy inside her body, and she also regained consciousness as her body was healed by him.

Yet, when she opened her eyes, she was startled when she saw the figure that had defeated him.

"Ah, you...!"

Moreover, Tamazuki's hands were on her breasts!

She was a knight!

If she was killed, then she didn't mind since she had lost, but there was no way she would be sullied!

She wanted to cut him down, but Tamazuki suddenly raised his left hand and said, "Saber, I order you not to be able to attack me and Caster."

A single line on his Command Spells shone bright red before it disappeared.

"—?!"

The sword that was about to cut his dirty hand was stopped a centimeter away as a force forbade her to attack this hateful man.

"Bastard!"

"Why are you getting angry at me? I am helping you. If I don't save you, then your life might end, and you lose your qualification in this Holy Grail!"

Even though his hand was still on her breasts, he scolded her harshly, yet how could he not be?

A breast is nothing compared to life, right?

She should be thanking him since he didn't kill her since she only needed to pay him with her breasts.

"......" Saber.

<Congratulations, you have received "Magical Core">

'Interesting.'

Instantly, he could feel an energy surge inside his body like a violent tsunami. This feeling was amazing, but then he quickly adjusted this energy, calming it and controlling it like it was something that he was born with. It was so natural that someone might look at him in a dumbfounded manner, yet with his enhanced learning, this feat was easy for him.

Magical Core.

Or it could be called the Factor of the Dragon.

Arturia Pendragon is the holder of the Element of the Red Dragon, who carries the blood and very magical power of a phantasm in a human body, granting her a heart and unique Magic Circuits that transcend what can be achieved by normal humans and magi.

It wouldn't be weird to say that she was a humanoid dragon.

Inside her body, there was a boundless energy that was comparable to the core of Earth.

If he made a comparison, the body of a normal Magus was like a battery that produced Magical Energy. Meanwhile, this Magical Core, which was owned by Arturia Pendragon, was like a nuclear reactor that produced Magical Energy.

Similar to Arturia, his body was like that now.

Even if he didn't use "Hole," he could produce Magical Energy like he owned a nuclear reactor inside his body.

While there wasn't as much of his "Hole" that could use the energy of various stars in the universe, Magical Core was something that he owned by himself, not something external, so in case his ability was sealed, he didn't need to worry about the amount of Magical Energy inside his body.

Though, even without this Magical Core or Hole, the amount of Magical Energy inside his body was still enormous as he had evolved into a Heavenly Dog; having more Magical Energy wouldn't hurt, right?

Yet, he had to say whether he and Ava could tell this Magical Core still had room for development, but he could think about this matter later since he needed to solve the problem before him.

Meanwhile, Saber, who was scolded, fell in silence as she saw the wound on her body was healed. Moreover, she could feel a boundless energy inside her body. Unlike before, when her body was limited, this time, she felt like she could do anything, and all of her parameters had increased dramatically to the point she was in a disbelief state, thinking she was dreaming.

However, she knew that it was a reality.

Moreover, she had been defeated before, and at that moment, she was about to return to the Throne of Heroes.

By then, she would have died, and her qualification as a participant in the Holy Grail had been lost.

However, Tamazuki had saved her, and he had saved her.

But, in exchange, Saber had become his Servant.

Also, didn't he say Caster before?

Then, she noticed a figure of a plump, sexy woman who stood behind him obediently. Even though she wore a veil to cover her face, she could tell that this woman was beautiful.

Yet, at the same time, she was in shock since that meant she didn't face a Servant, but a Master.

"......"

Her head was suddenly full of many things.

There were many things that she needed to ask, yet her mood was also conflicted since inside, she was glad that she didn't die, which meant she still had a chance to get the Holy Grail to achieve the dream that she sought after, yet at the same time, her Master was no longer Kiritsugu or Irisviel, but this man in front of her.

She wanted to open her mouth, but no voice came out since... she just didn't know what to say currently.

However, Tamazuki didn't let her talk. "Come on. Let's go back first. I want to rest. Let's talk in the morning."

Then, like before, his shadow rippled like the surface of the lake, and Scheherazade plunged into it without hesitation.

Tamazuki stared at Saber and waited for her.

Saber stared at Tamazuki for a moment before she followed him since, at this moment, even if she was unwilling, she didn't have a choice, and she knew in this battle, she was defeated thoroughly, but at the same time, she was also curious about the identity of this young man.

Though she looked at her breasts, blushing as she felt a strange and pleasant sensation that she had never felt before, she also plunged into the world of shadow to follow him.

Nevertheless, as the two entered the world of shadow, no one realized the trouble that was encountered by Kiritsugu, the previous Master of Saber and the husband of Irisviel, and Tohsaka Tokiomi, the Master of Archer and husband of Aoi Tokiomi.
