Chapter 332: Father, Mother, and Jack

Reika once again revealed her extraordinary nature.

Facing Shinji, who had just saved her and was no ordinary person, she neither showed fear nor a self-protective response to the unknown. Instead, she displayed a stunning calmness and a touch of curiosity. It was probably these traits that made her and little Jack the most ruthless Master-Servant pair in Fate/Apocrypha, causing a bloody storm in Romania.

"Was it you who saved me?"

"Yes." Shinji walked to the window and pulled back the curtain, letting sunlight flood the dim room.

"Where is Sagara Hyouma? The blond man in the white suit."

"Dead, I killed him. See that black stain over there? That's Sagara Hyouma's ashes."

Shinji sat down on the windowsill, avoiding direct eye contact with Reika to maintain his composure.

Reika reached out and lightly touched the floor scorched by the primordial fire triggered by "Fehu." Sure enough, she hand-picked up some black residue.

The little Jack in her arms sniffed at the ash-stained hand, wrinkled her nose, then sniffed Rokudo Reika's clothes, and said, "Mother's clothes smell the same as this, Jack doesn't like it."

"Is that so? Since Jack doesn't like it, then—"

Reika then did something shocking. She directly took off her remaining clothes and threw them far away, completely unbothered by her nudity.

"Is there still any smell you dislike? If there is, I'll have to take a bath."

"No more, no more," Jack shook her head repeatedly. "We love Mother the most."

"Mom also loves Jack the most."

Reika's smile, unrelated to seduction, was reflected in the window glass, which Shinji observed, confirming his choice was correct—this woman's personality was very suitable for the Holy Grail War, more fitting than most of the Masters from the Yggdmillennia family. With her as an ally, things would be much easier for him.

"Miss Rokudo Reika, do you remember what you promised me?"Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

"I remember. You saved me, so my remaining life belongs to you." As she said this, there was no fluctuation in Reika's expression, as if she were speaking about someone else entirely.

"Good, then I'm going to claim what belongs to me as per our agreement."

"If possible, I'd like you to call me something else."

"Then, Assassin Mother?" To Jack, expressing closeness meant calling someone Mother. Being a collection of countless children's spirits, she could have many Mothers.

"Uh... Mother is for women. For men, you should say Father." Shinji corrected her.

"Father?"

Jack tilted her head, her natural innocence striking a chord in Shinji's heart.

"Say it again."

"Father."

"Good girl, I'll give you some candy later."

At this moment, Shinji's sinister demeanor vanished, replaced by a silly, happy expression, making Reika chuckle.

This laughter made Shinji realize a problem—if Rokudo Reika was Jack's Mother and he was Jack's Father, wasn't this forcibly creating a family relationship?

"I'm sorry, I just think little Jack is very cute, I like her a lot, that's all, really."

This somewhat flustered apology made Reika laugh even more.

"It's alright, I don't mind. Forming a family with Lord Assassin and Jack sounds quite interesting."

"Hearing Reika-san say that makes me feel a bit self-important." Shinji sighed in relief, though the sight of Reika's fair body holding Jack made his thoughts wander, prompting him to quickly look away.

This small action did not escape Reika's notice. She teased, "Jack's Father, why don't you dare look at Jack's Mother? Is she so unattractive to you?"

Her sweet voice, tinged with allure, made Shinji's breath quicken. He hurriedly recited in his mind:

"Great Sage Equaling Heaven, myriad transformations, master of heaven and earth—gods and buddhas of all realms, please take this enchantress away!" (Repeat 3 times!)

PS: If it weren't for her perfect compatibility with Jack, Rokudo Reika might have summoned Scheherazade, whose core desire is to avoid death at all costs.
