Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

"Are you okay with a coffee?"

"...okay."

The two walked out of the room and went to the kitchen as he prepared coffee for the two of them.

As for Irisviel and Scheherazade, neither of them followed them since they were sleeping.

Yet, it was normal for Irisviel to sleep so soundly, especially when she was just a homunculus. Even though she was quite a special homunculus, her body couldn't be compared to a Servant or even Tamazuki, who was a monster, so it was normal for her to be exhausted. Moreover, it was her first time tasting such a forbidden pleasure, so whether it was her mind or her body, all of them were in their most vulnerable state.

As for Scheherazade? This Servant of his was smart, and she gave him time to talk with Saber so that Saber could faithfully follow him as his lover.

'Master, do your best.'

Scheherade thought in her mind before she continued to sleep since, similar to Irisviel, she was also exhausted.

Yet, Tamazuki and Saber didn't know what Scheherazade was thinking, and the two had a coffee during the dawn in the kitchen of his room inside this world of shadow.

Still, Saber had to say that it was quite awkward. Before, they were fighting until either of them died, but now, she is almost dying because of him, and she is afraid that she might get pregnant because of him.

Pregnant...

Saber knew she didn't have a child, but what if she had a child in the future?

Would she treat this child like Mordred before?

Yet, this life was different from how she was previously. Even though she was a King of Knights, she wasn't a king anymore, and she was just a remnant of the past who still had a lingering regret and came back alive once again.

So, if she had a child, while she might not be ready, her act might not be as radical as before, saying that she couldn't acknowledge Mordred. Yet her reaction towards Mordred was also understandable since Mordred was born from the homunculus technique with the blood of her sister and her blood, which was taken without being known.

Moreover, Morgan, her sister, had always been known for her tricks, so how could Saber believe that she had such a big child all of a sudden?

Yet, if Saber had children with Tamazuki, it might be different, though.

"How is your body?"

"...I am fine."

"I want to confirm it, but you are King Arthur from the legend, right?"

His words were at ease as if it was something normal for him to know about her identity.

While Saber knew that Tamazuki was strong, she didn't expect him to know about her identity like it was natural.

"Yes."

However, she didn't intend to hide it since even if she wanted to, it was impossible; after all, she had become his Servant. Moreover, she was also curious about him, so when he asked her, she also wished to ask him.

"I know that it might be hard for you, or you might not be able to accept me as your Master now, so how about we get to know each other? I won't ask you to accept me as your Master, but I don't wish you to become an enemy, especially..."

"...um."

Saber also didn't wish to become his enemy, and more importantly, with the relationship they shared, it was impossible for her to think of him as an enemy. Suddenly, she blushed and subconsciously rubbed her flat belly as if trying to reminisce about the previous experience.

"I want to ask you a question again, but do you have something to ask me?"

"Well..." Saber rubbed the edge of the cup with her slender fingers. "...what's your name?"

"Now that you mention it, I haven't introduced myself, huh?" Tamazuki only realized that he hadn't introduced himself, and they had mistaken him as a Servant. "My name is Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki. I am one of the Masters in this Holy Grail, and Caster is my Servant."

"...even though I know you are a Master, I still can't believe it."

What kind of Master was this?

Wasn't this simply cheating?

A Master is an existence that needs to be protected, yet Tamazuki could kill her with ease, which made her speechless.

"...just what are you?"

"What do you mean by this question?"

"I mean... are you a human? A Magus? Or something else?"

"I am a human."

Tamazuki didn't lie since he had a "human" factor inside his body. If he was bored by becoming "Heavenly Dog," he could become a human.

"Though I am not a human either."

"...what do you mean?"

Earlier, Saber asked her doubts; she became even more confused with his answer.

"Frankly, I don't really want to talk about my identity, but even if you might not accept it easily since I stole you from your previous Master, in my heart, you are my woman, so I will tell you the truth."

"Yo-Your woman...?!"

Saber was flustered.

This should be an insult, especially for her who had thrown away her womanhood.

Yet, after she was eaten by him and became a woman, she couldn't say so, especially when her heart was beating so fast.

Still, how could she have acknowledged that?

"I am not your woman! I just want to save Irisviel! Don't make a mistake!"

Even if she said so, her face was flushed red, clearly showing her bad acting skills.

Yet, at the same time, she was also annoyed.

How could she be affected by her feelings like this?

Why had her heart become a mess after they had just slept together?

The more she thought about this, the more she felt resistance and realized how dangerous he was.

She didn't want to become like this since she was afraid that she might forget about her kingdom.

She was given a chance, and it was impossible for her to give up, yet with her current situation... could she even realize her dream?

"Let's talk about my identity again."

"......."

Saber stared at Tamazuki blankly, who could callously and ignored her emotional struggle as he changed the topic of the conversation calmly. While she felt annoyed secretly, she nodded.

"Then, what are you?"

Her tone clearly wasn't good, showing the feeling of her current emotion.

Still watching her reaction, Tamazuki nodded inwardly, thinking that to conquer women, the fastest was from their bodies. As long as he got their bodies, he would get their heart sooner or later.

It was like the woman in the NTR manga. The women were resistant and hated the man at first, but soon, they fell and abandoned their partner. Saber's current situation was like that, and Tamazuki was the bastard who seduced the married woman.

"I am a human, but at the same time, I am not. If I have to say, my existence is like a dragon, garuda, or those famous heavenly beasts in the myth."

"So, you are like me?" Saber was surprised.

"Well, that's true."

Tamazuki nodded since he was too lazy to explain, yet Saber also wasn't wrong since she wasn't a pure human, especially when she had a dragon factor inside her body.

"Saber, no, should I call you Arturia?"

"...just call me whatever you want."

Saber pursed her lips before looking away, feeling embarrassed after being called by her first name.

Tamazuki only showed a light smile and asked, "Arturia, what is your wish in this Holy Grail War?"
