Book 6: Chapter 16:2: Chen Heng’s Girlfriend, Part 2
Luo Li’s strength was an enigma that baffled Chen Heng. Not only did she possess the Primal Chaos Bell, a gift from the Chen Clan ancestor, but her very own power was truly unfathomable.
Luo Li was a determined person who could detonate her time crystal to reset the world’s time. Although her strength was significantly reduced because of the explosion of the time crystal, Luo Li would likely recover rather quickly with the assistance of the Primal Chaos Bell and System 2333.
System 2333 might usually look useless, but it was, after all, a highly ranked system. No one would believe Luo Li when she called it a trash or idle system.
With Luo Li at his side, Chen Heng felt completely at ease. Depleting Will Energy wasn’t a concern when he had Luo Li to protect him.
Without exaggeration, even if Chen Heng had only 50 percent of his Will Energy, he could still execute Moonfall a few times—provided there were enough moons, of course.
Chen Heng knew that forming Will Energy swords during the Holy Grail War might be difficult, as he had to fight at night.
Everyone knew the Holy Grail War was fought at night, and they had to minimize the commotion, preventing ordinary people from learning about it.
Doctor Roman and the Queen of Sheba had sensed a strange atmosphere in the living room, so they retreated to their room early. What were they doing? Who knew?
What else could they be doing?
Tohsaka Rin had taken Sakura to her room for a private talk, not wanting her younger sister to mingle with Chen Heng, whom she considered despicable and shameless. Even if he had given her a Master slot for the Holy Grail War, it wasn’t acceptable.
“Elder Brother Heng, it’s time to go to our room. Let’s go.”
“...” Chen Heng obediently followed Luo Li to the room Tohsaka Aoi had arranged for them.
Just before closing the door, Chen Heng instinctively glanced at Sirin, only to see her biting her lip in an expression filled with resentment.
Jeanne d’Arc seemed alright, but she was staring intently at Chen Heng, still much more restrained than Sirin.
Sirin looked at Chen Heng as if she were watching her wife enter a room with another man, metaphorically speaking.
Back in his room, Chen Heng didn’t go to bed but sat at the desk.
He Who Knows Fate: Sirin, what’s with that expression? Why so resentful?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Elder Brother, do you know what it’s like to watch your wife go into another man’s room?
Efreet: NTR? What an exciting plot!
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: I just randomly set it up. I didn’t ask you to take it seriously.
He Who Knows Fate: You’re waiting for the drama, aren’t you?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: How could I? I’m a world consciousness, and no matter how bored I am, I won’t gossip...unless you can’t resist.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: That’s right, Elder Brother. You must be harboring errant thoughts about Luo Li.
He Who Knows Fate: Enough, enough. Sirin, you don’t have to worry about anything inappropriate happening. We’ll be busy with the Holy Grail War at night, you know. It’s common knowledge.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: You have a point there.
Solomon: But the Holy Grail War officially starts tomorrow, right? What are you going to do tonight?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: ...
He Who Knows Fate: Tonight, I plan to take care of those four reincarnators. They may not be a major threat, but they are a nuisance. Furthermore, they are vile.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Elder Brother, I want to go too.
He Who Knows Fate: Have you finished the Fate anime series?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: No, not yet...
He Who Knows Fate: Then have you undergone your ability second awakening?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: No, not yet. But didn’t Elder Brother say we’d do that after returning to our original world? That way, my power system can align more with your world.
He Who Knows Fate: That’s why I worry about your safety. If you got even a little hurt, it would break my heart.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Hehe.
He Who Knows Fate: Okay, stop snickering. If you have time, watch more of the anime series involving the Holy Grail War or get some sleep. Don’t stay up late. I’ll take care of the reincarnators.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Understood, Elder Brother. I’ll catch up on the anime, then. Be careful when you fight the reincarnators. I’ll wait for you to come back.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, alright. Don’t worry.
Queen of Ice and Snow: If I didn’t know Chen Heng well, I would certainly think he was a seasoned playboy. He seems to have handled Sirin with just a few words.
