No Otaku with Harem System - Chapter 383: The author, life, plot, and everything is troublesome…

No lobotomy was necessary and I didn’t even have to hit the jerk. He started saying everything he knew as soon as he felt threatened.

This idiot is called Shinji Matou and he’s an irrelevant character in the original plot, or at least that’s the way he is in this timeline.

Shinji doesn’t fully understand what happened to him, but we understood what happened based on what little information the idiot knows.

Apparently, the Shinji of this timeline is friends with Illya’s older brother. He is not a powerful magician, a brave warrior or an intelligent student, he is just a filler character who has some irrelevant dialogues.

Normally he wouldn’t matter, but things drastically changed due to the intervention of entities outside of this World.

For starters, Shinji suffered the consequences of the different timelines coming into contact through artificial means.

Shinji is not just an irrelevant guy who is friends with Illya’s brother, he is also a puppet who participated in the Grail War where Miyu’s brother fought, he is also a mediocre magician who wanted to participate in the contemporary Grail War, he was also one of the citizens of Fuyuki who was killed by a corrupted Servant…

In other words, this Shinji has the combined consciousnesses of the different Shinjis in the different timelines that make up the Fate franchise.

Earlier I spoke with Merlin and Zelretch about the theory that the spatial rifts were attempting to connect multiple timelines, creating the possibility of alternate versions of a single person merging to create one individual with the power and knowledge of the different time lines.

This means that if multiple versions of Illya exist, then sooner or later she will absorb the memories and abilities of the alternate versions of her, which will make her stronger, but there are also many possible side effects.

For starters, the human mind is not designed to handle the stress of dealing with multiple viewpoints and experiences simultaneously. Even wizards with strong mental abilities could develop mental disorders or neural damage, so this is more harm than good.

With Shinji’s presence we now know that theory turned out to be true. The idiot is dying and he hasn’t even realized it. In fact, his mind didn’t break from the stress thanks to a entity placing various defensive abilities in his mind, otherwise Shinji would be in a vegetative state.

Now comes the ridiculous.

For starters, Shinji’s current body is actually the body of Shirou Emiya, Illya’s older brother and an alternate version of the Servant Emiya I met a time ago.

Apparently, someone used soul manipulation magic to transplant Shinja’s soul and mind into Shirou’s body, in addition, modifications were made to Shirou’s body to improve his magic circuits and thus allow him to use high level magic that is not of this world.

The biological and spiritual alchemy used on Shirou’s body is of good quality. It is not at the level of the angeloids, but it is certainly better than the homunculi that the magicians of this World make.

Objectively, Shirou’s current body can be considered a prodigy with the potential to be one of the strongest magicians in the Clock Tower, however, Shinji doesn’t know how to harness the potential of that body, plus he has been wasting time on stupid things instead of learning magic.

The idiot has been busy showing off and acting like a stupid narcissist who itches to build a harem. Basically he’s been wasting time trying to make up for his inferiority complex.

Shinji said that one day he had a dream where a beautiful woman told him that he was the chosen one to rule over everyone, so she gave him spirit magic that was supposed to be comparable to True Magic.

Supposedly there was a supreme God of masculinity who was cowardly ambushed by his enemies, but before dying he managed to send his soul to the reincarnation circle.

Shinji was the reincarnation of that God and it was his divine right to rule the world. The woman used to be one of the endless lovers of that God, so she wanted Shinji to regain his rule over the world, but in order to do so, he needed to conquer the hearts of three elementary school brats since they were the keys that the previous God left to perform a ritual where he could recover all his power.

…Thousands of my brain cells committed suicide when I heard that bullshit story.

According to Nyaruko that was plagiarism of a generic fanfic or some shit like that. I’m glad I don’t know it’s a fanfic.

Obviously all of that was fucking bullshit that only an utter moron could believe, but Shinji totally accepted it and started his plan to take over the world.

Again, Nyaruko said that it is normal for fanfic protagonists and system users not to question the cause of their skills and just think that they are the perfect protagonists. I really do not care.

Shinji became Shirou five days ago and until now no one has noticed the change since Shirou’s father is away, Illya has a great idealization of her older brother and does not see his flaws, the two maids of the family are not interested in the problems of the children and the mother has just returned from a little trip plus she is not a person who pays much attention to her children. They are basically a family with communication problems.

The reason why Shinji became Shirou was because he knew that Illya was a brat with incestuous tendencies, so it would be easier to win her over if he became Shirou, plus he was very jealous of his only friend and he wanted to take his place, and it even seems like they were enemies in other timelines since Shirou is a protagonist in multiple timelines.

That was his only decent idea and I would have done something similar, but he made the mistake of not investigating carefully since the mother and father are experienced magicians, and if Shinji made even one mistake, the parents would know something was wrong.

Shinji could technically now use spirit magic to do soul surgery, but he’s useless and asked the woman who gave him abilities for help.

The woman kidnapped Shirou and performed the surgery, then disappeared while she took Shirou’s soul and mind.

According to Shinji, the woman left to search for Shinji’s divine treasures, but in reality she returned to her secret lair where the demons are gathering to make preparations for war.

By the way, that secret headquarters was already found by BB, so now he is under surveillance to carry out an ambush when necessary.

Anyway, that’s the stupid explanation. It’s a pathetic and deplorable plan that doesn’t match up with the mastermind who planned this world invasion, but that’s because it’s just a smoke screen.

In reality, Shinji is not the protagonist of the plan, but rather the villain that must be defeated in order for the princesses to fall in love with the hero.

Within the records I found that the demons prepared a protagonist who will be in charge of defeating Shinji. That protagonist the real tool to seduce Miyu, Illya and Chloe, but even that is not a certainty. In fact, there are at least three charming princes ready to make the brats fall in love.

It’s honestly a fascinating scheme. It is as if a play were taking place in a huge theater where the true plot is embodied in the stage props and decorations, so concentrating on the characters will only prevent you from understanding the true plot, however, in reality it turns out that the play and the stage are not the real entertainment product, but seeing the reactions of the audience is the real show and everything was designed solely for the entertainment of the director of the play.

It’s such a stupid and ridiculous scheme that I love it…

Honestly, I couldn’t have seen how stupidly messy this scenario is and I love that. Sometimes it’s a bit boring being able to read all the enemy’s plans before they go into action.

As entertaining as this is, I’m not going to risk the lives of my family just to turn off my boredom. In that sense, I’m glad Paranoia is back on my mind.

[Paranoia: The analysis to help the master has been completed. Emotion of happiness…]

[Ciel: An abnormality has been detected in Paranoia-sama’s mental state. Carrying out a diagnosis… Confirmed: Desire to jump for happiness]

[Paranoia: D-Don’t say it!]

It’s amazing how I’ve gotten so used to hearing silly voices in my head that I feel lonely without them…

Returning to the discussion, I frowned after Shinji finished explaining everything he knew.

The idiot spent almost an hour talking as he was constantly trying to justify his own actions using the stupid argument that he too was a victim.

Well, it’s an extremely stupid argument, but Illya took a little pity on him…. Ah, this brat is too innocent and kind, though on second thought, that’s a more normal reaction for a girl her age.

Sometimes I think I have a hard time interacting with mentally healthy people.

I sighed heavily as I frowned. – “So you don’t know the name of the woman who gave you these skills, you don’t know where Illya’s brother’s soul is, you don’t know the true intentions of those who gave you skills…”

“I-I d-don’t know” – Shinji stammered as he was kneeling on the ground with his forehead pressed to the ground. – “I swear I have told you everything I know! Please do not kill me!”

“You are more useless than PETA and more stupid than a flat earther” – Nyaruko snorted with contempt.

“I don’t know, PETA is good for making memes” – Merlin took out a cell phone. – “Look, this is the parody they did to Pokémon”

Zelretch frowned. – “Tch, don’t talk to me about them, an idiot wanted to throw red paint at me when I went to an art gallery just because I wore a manticore fur coat”

“Hey Listen! PETA hate furries because furries can fuck with dogs and they can’t!” – Navi… you give me so much…

“Actually…” – Nyaruko took out a pair of glasses and was about to continue the stupid conversation, but a furious shout interrupted the stupid joke.

“STOP! Just tell me where my son is!” – Illya’s mother yelled furiously.

The woman’s name is Irisviel von Einzbern and she is also a character from the Fate franchise.

Throughout the conversation, she had been biting her lip as her nails dug into her palms. She was desperate because Shinji stole her son’s identity, she was anxious because she didn’t know where her son was, and she was sad because she didn’t notice that someone was posing as her son, additionally, she was totally furious because Shinji explained his supposed master plan to get all the women surrounding Shirou.

Shinji was an idiot who was jealous that his friend was always surrounded by beautiful women, so he devised a plan that only a teenage idiot addicted to pornography could think of.

During the nights, Shinji had been placing aphrodisiac incense near the rooms of the women of the house with the exception of Illya since that would ruin the ritual. Because of this, the two maids and the mother have been sexually frustrated and practically masturbate themselves until they pass out every night.

Shinji’s idea was to make women feel so desperate that eventually he could rape them and they would enjoy it, thus becoming his sex slaves.

Apparently, he had already tried that in an alternate timeline and things had gone wrong for him, so he decided to re-intern that, but this time he would use aphrodisiacs that could not be detected by magic or other supernatural means.

It was honestly a shitty plan, but it was able to work since Shinji was given contrived plot armor that is focused on sexual acts.

By the way, his fake plot armor was stolen by my title [False Antagonist] and [Kleptomania], but it won’t do me any good since my own plot armor is far superior.

Anyway, this whole argument is pathetic.

Irisviel was on the verge of a nervous breakdown from the frustration and pain of not knowing where her son is. She can be an irresponsible and observant mother, but she really loves her children, so this is very painful for her.

I have no problem with helping the milf in order to improve my relationship with Illya and incidentally get the two maids who still haven’t come home since they are shopping, however, my new daughter’s expression shows that I will have to drink another path.

“Heh, do you really care about your son?” Chloe sneered when she saw the desperation on Irisviel’s face, but deep down in her heart, the little girl was so furious that she wanted to cry.

Irisviel clenched her fists tighter. – “Of course! He is my son! ”

It’s a normal reaction for a mother whose son has just been kidnapped, but for Chloe, this was an attack on her already wounded heart.

Since we arrived at the house, Chloe wanted to be hugged by Irisviel and be recognized as her daughter, but the whole problem was so sudden that Irisviel didn’t have time to notice that Chloe was practically Illya’s twin. This made the hatred in Chloe’s heart rise as she felt that her mother didn’t even want to acknowledge her.

“Yeah, sure, you say that, but you’re actually happy to no longer have to take care of a teenager…” – Chloe had a scornful look on her face, though the way her legs trembled and her voice showed that she was on the verge of tears. – “You just want to throw away your children so you can continue enjoying your damn peaceful life!”

Irisviel’s eyes turned furious and she was about to yell at the little girl, but when she finally saw Chloe’s face, all her fury died away as her face paled.

Irisviel is an intelligent woman and seems to have a high level of knowledge about the supernatural world, besides that she is a homunculus, so it is not impossible for her to accept the idea that the little girl in front of her is a homunculus or a clone of Illya.

While most normal people would have trouble accepting her daughter being cloned, Irisviel had a rough idea of what was going on. She looked at me with a complex combination of feelings, but I showed no reaction and continued eating pizza.

“Pass me the ketchup” – Nyaruko extended her right hand in front of me while her left hand held a slice of pepperoni pizza with a melted cheese edge.

“This is Tabasco sauce” – I answered after putting sauce on my pizza.

“Ugh, I hate spicy” – Nyaruko frowned. – “Give me ketchup”

I sighed and took a ketchup bottle from my jacket pocket, then handed it to Nyaruko.

“Do you have condiments in your pockets?” Merlin raised an eyebrow as his hand reached across the table to grab another slice of pizza.

“Hey Listen! The dog is a housewife who is always ready to cook! Nom nom nom” – Navi and his bad habit of talking with his mouth full…

That’s right, while the mother and daughter were having a touching reunion, we were eating pizza. Even Zelretch’s female disciples joined us and were now eating pizza with expressions comparable to a monk who achieved enlightenment.

“All my life I have been eating garbage, now I have finally known what true food is…” – The blonde girl named Luviagelita Edelfelt was almost crying with happiness as if she had found the purpose in her life, but even in that state, she was eating the pizza with a knife and fork… Her obsession with showing that she is a high class lady seems stupid to me.

“…” – The black-haired girl named Rin Tohsaka couldn’t even speak as she was devouring the pizza like a Nigerian child would when seeing a free buffet.

“Tch, your manners are suitable for a hungry animal” – Luviagelita snorted with disdain when she saw Rin.

“HJKSjksasdfjdashfj” – Rin told her that she was a pretentious bitch, but her mouth is full like a hamster and her words are not understandable.

A pretentious narcissist and a girl who talks with her mouth full… They are both equally assholes.

We were all enjoying a good meal, the only exception being little Illya. She was very anxious about her brother’s disappearance and her mother’s reaction, but she managed to regain a bit of her calm when Miyu convinced her that I would take care of everything.

Now Illya is sitting between Miyu and me as she eats pizza in small bites. Although she still looks depressed, it’s obvious that she’s enjoying the food and it makes her feel better.

Miyu was happy to see her new best friend happy, so we all continued to watch the mother-daughter show.

By the way, Shinji is still tied up on the ground and doesn’t dare make a single sound as he is terrified. On the other hand, the purple haired girl is now unconscious while Rin hugs her as if it were her most valuable treasure. I’ll fix their problems later.

“Are you ignoring me again?! Are you going to pretend I don’t exist again?!” – Chloe’s full scream was full of fury, pain, anguish and desire to kill, so Irisviel stopped looking at me and quickly focused all her attention on Chloe. – “Do you want to get rid of me again?!”

“Y-You a-are…” – Irisviel’s suspicions were confirmed, she was able to guess that Chloe was Illya, or rather a materialization of the Illya that had to be sacrificed in the Holy Grail War.

Irisviel fell to her knees realizing Chloe’s identity.

From what I see, Irisviel is a woman with a strong mind and great determination, plus she has a lot of life experience due to all the conflicts she had to face to maintain her current peaceful life.

Irisviel seems like the kind of woman who is able to solve most problems with a combination of maternal affection and silent violence. Basically she is a passive-aggressive woman with manipulative tendencies, but she is not a villain, but a woman who knows the cruelty of the world and uses it to her advantage.

Maybe in another scenario, Irisviel would be able to contain Chloe, even she could comfort her daughter and easily rebuild the relationship between the two as mother and daughter, after all, what Chloe wants most is not revenge, but to feel the love of a family.

The problem for her is that her mental state is in a moment of extreme fragility.

For a loving mother there is no greater anguish than the disappearance of a child. In a way, not knowing where a child is is worse than the death of the child.

In the death of the child, only pain remains, but in the disappearance, the uncertainty of knowing if the child is alive or dead is something that could destroy a mother’s mind. That’s why there are women who dedicate their entire lives to finding a missing child, even if it means ignoring and abandoning the rest of their children, friends, husband, and family.

Irisviel knows how cruel the wizarding world is, so she is terrified that her son is being subjected to more horrifying tortures than humanly possible, additionally, she has just found out that what could be called her ‘first daughter’ now was in front of her.

Illya’s parents only wanted to seal the memories related to the Grail War, but they never imagined that the sealed memory could become an independent consciousness.

Irisviel was able to understand that over the years Chloe had been in a lonely cage as she felt that her parents had discarded her as if she were a disgusting pest.

Irisviel wanted to explain that it wasn’t like that, that she didn’t know that Chloe would become an entity with a mind of her own and that it was all a misunderstanding, but her current emotional fragility prevented her from taking control of the conversation. She could only stutter as Chloe yelled, swore, and cried.

“Do you have any idea what I went through?! Do you have any idea what I suffered?! Can you imagine how alone I felt?!” – Chloe was screaming while she cried and trembled.

Chloe showed more pain than hate and at this point she no longer wanted to kill Illya or hurt Irisviel, she just wanted to be hugged and comforted by her mother, but Irisviel was too shocked by Chloe’s words and could only stay on the ground while looking at the little girl unable to speak.

“…. Luis… Please tell me you didn’t plan this…” – Tsubaki sighed heavily inside my mind.

“I told you, boredom is dangerous” – I ate another slice of pizza.

“…” – Tsubaki sighed, but she didn’t show disappointment, she already knows me too well. – “Please, then make sure that the mother and daughter can reconcile, it is obvious that they both want to be a happy family, but now… Ah, that will be complicated”

Well, they will be a happy family, just the women.

“You’re trash” – Yoko snorted in disgust.

“…” – Nia didn’t even want to speak, she just sighed.

Come to think of it, I think this is the first time the two of them have seen me destroy a happy family just to satisfy my fetish for married women. Usually there’s an absurd danger that justifies my actions or I take it easy and don’t make a daughter want to kill her own mother, but boredom is certainly getting to me.

Well, I had an orgy with married women, but both girls didn’t see me destroy those families explicitly, so their disappointment is understandable.

“Life is disappointing, so it’s normal for people to be disappointing too” – I answered ironically and continued eating.

“…” – Both girls didn’t want to talk anymore, but Tsubaki will take care of talking to them, so there’s no problem. Anyway, both women have already accepted me into their hearts and this is just a petty discussion.

Chloe kept screaming until she couldn’t take it anymore. She fell to her knees and began to cry like a waif.

I sighed and walked over to her.

When I reached out to touch her shoulder, she smacked my hand aggressively as she looked up from her to glare at me. – “Do not touch me! You only pretend you care about me, but you’ll abandon me when I’m no longer useful! You are all liars!”

Miyu frowned as Chloe rebuffed my attempt to comfort her, but I pretended not to notice her.

I didn’t show anger or disgust, my look was a mixture of worry and a little tired like a father who sees his daughter throwing a tantrum.

“Chloe, calm down, you’re being rude” – I spoke with a slight scolding tone, but my expression was still gentle. Not too gentle since it doesn’t match my character to empathize with a brat I just met, but enough to make Chloe feel a bit accepted.

“Rude?! I can do whatever I want! Nobody cares and nobody can stop me!” – Chloe stood up with difficulty because her legs were shaking, but the immense pain in her chest gave her enough strength to stand up and summon a black short sword. Although her voice and her body language seemed to speak to me, her words and her gaze were directed at her mother.

This is similar to the cases where a child makes disasters to be scolded by his parents. Basically, Chloe wants to be stopped by her mother to feel that she has even the slightest interest in Chloe.

Unfortunately for Chloe, the woman was emotionally and mentally shattered, so she could only stare at Chloe as guilt and pain stabbed into the maternal side of her heart.

Chloe saw that her mother didn’t even try to stop her and she felt that she was being thrown away again, which increased her pain to the point of despair.

I frowned and spoke with a little more force in my voice, though I made sure to maintain a fatherly expression and tone of voice. – “Chloe, put the weapon away or I will punish you”

Chloe bit her lower lip and in a last desperate attempt to hear her mother’s voice, she rushed to stab my abdomen.

Although my first interaction with Chloe caused her to feel a certain level of trust and gratitude towards me, those feelings pale in comparison to her desire to win her family back.

In that sense, she would be willing to kill me to win her mother’s affections, but I can easily change that.

Actually, there’s no need to let her stab me and I can use the slow route of acceptance and understanding, but there isn’t much time left so I’ll have to use the fast route of guilt.

I used [Anti-Rasen] to prevent Miyu from grabbing the blue magic wand since she tried to attack Chloe as soon as the girl showed signs that she wanted to attack me.

In this way, I let the short sword go through my clothes, my skin, my muscles, and my stomach.

Chloe froze as the hilt of the sword touched my skin as the blade of the sword came out of my back. The brat was breathing like a rabid animal without control, but in a matter of seconds, sanity returned to her eyes and she realized what she had just done.

Actually, she didn’t think I would get stabbed. She knows that I am much stronger and she thought that the sword couldn’t even hurt me, in fact, she wanted me to hit her or even try to kill her to see if that way Irisviel would be willing to talk.

I gently raised my hand and directed it to Chloe’s head.

My movement was so slow that Chloe had time to think about the situation. She trembled at the thought that my hand would crush her little head and she easily resigned herself to inevitable death, but her mind was thrown into chaos when my hand didn’t crush her skull, but began to caress her soft hair.

“Chloe, you’re my daughter so I’ll forgive you this time…” – I spoke softly which increased the chaos in the mind of the brat. – “But if you try to stab me again, I’m going to whip your butt so you can’t walk for a week”

“…” – Chloe didn’t respond to my threat, she just looked up from her and looked into my eyes.

Chloe’s eyes began to water again when she saw my eyes. In my gaze she found no hate, no contempt, and not even the slightest trace of anger, all that was in my eyes was the love and acceptance that she so desperately wanted.

Chloe quickly made her sword disappear and she was about to panic, but calmed down when she saw my wound being healed by a golden light that even regenerated my clothes.

I smiled wryly and continued stroking the brat’s head. – “If something like that was enough to hurt me then I would have died a long time ago”

“…” – Chloe sighed with relief, but then she pouted. – “Then why did you let me stab you? You’re masochistic?”

My mouth twisted in slight annoyance, but I continued to show gentleness and fatherly love. – “Well, I just adopted a troublesome and violent brat, maybe I am”

Chloe widened her eyes because my words implied that I really am willing to take care of her as my daughter.

She had thought that I only wanted to use her as a tool and then throw her away, and although she was still suspicious since my gentleness is not normal, she was also happy to feel that at least one person cared for her.

Chloe is young, but her innate ability that grants her wisdom and knowledge allowed her to be much more cunning than many adults, so she was able to determine that I am a dangerous person and that it is dangerous to trust me, but the disappointment she felt for her mother’s lack of reaction made her heart so vulnerable that she became too fond of the first idiot who showed her affection and concern.

Perhaps in other circumstances, her need for affection would have caused her to become attached to Miyu and Illya. Considering how heartbroken she is, there’s even the possibility that Chloe developed a subtle lesbian interest in both girls, but hey, I just prepared my own grave.

Chloe smiled as she used the sleeve of her school uniform to wipe away her tears. – “I see, Papa-san is a masochist… Well, as Papa-san’s daughter it is my duty to make Papa-san happy until he is satisfied~”

The brat said that as she licked her lips…..

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Wait, I have to tell everyone about this!” – Nyaruko took out her cell phone and started sending messages… ..

“Hey Listen! Now the competition to see who is the first daughter to have a daughter begins!” – Navi keeps giving me mental images that make me want to commit suicide…….

Everyone knew that both idiots were joking and even Illya knew it was just a joke, but Miyu pouted in jealousy…

Besides Miyu, there was another woman who had a bad reaction thinking that it wasn’t a joke.

“You… you can’t…” – Irisviel was horrified to think that I am a pedophile who is taking advantage of her daughter’s naivety since, for her, Chloe was just a tragic child who needed to be protected by her mother. – “She is just a girl… she is my daughter!”

Irisviel’s words caused a deep silence and only the sound of idiots eating pizza could be heard.

“This is better than a K-drama…” – Merlin spoke quietly.

“Fou fou (Shut up idiot, you ruin the atmosphere)” – Fou threw a dirty napkin at the idiot magician’s face.

The mother and daughter didn’t listen to the idiots because they were still caught up in the drama.

“Daughter?” – Chloe raised an eyebrow and snorted in disgust, but her body trembled as her heart beat faster as she continued to want to feel the motherly love. – “Who are you calling daughter? You abandoned me like I was a disgusting animal! You are not my mother!”

Irisviel trembled as her mouth opened, but her voice did not come out. Chloe’s words had hurt her deeply.

Well, it’s time.

I sighed and spoke softly. – “Chloe, don’t talk to your mother like that”

“…” – Chloe widened her eyes in surprise and looked at me without understanding why I’m defending Irisviel. She thought that I wanted her to hate her mother, so she didn’t understand why I’m helping the woman now.

“Look, she could have made mistakes and it’s clear that she was irresponsible, but she seems to want to apologize, maybe it was all a misunderstanding… Why don’t you talk calmly with her?” – I bent down to look at Chloe at the same height. – “She just heard that her son disappeared and it is normal for her to be upset, but if you talk calmly with her things may improve… Although everything is your decision, if you don’t want to talk to her then you don’t need to, you are free to make your own decisions and I will support you in whatever you want to do”

“…” – Chloe lowered her gaze since she didn’t want me to see that she was about to cry again.

I am showing understanding, acceptance, kindness and maturity, so she started to feel that I am the father she always wanted, but at the same time, she is unable to see me as her father since she already has a father, so that father-daughter love began to distort into a more romantic feeling……..

Agh, I hate the plot and the fucking author. I hope that asshole has a depressive episode again so he can get screwed.

Irisviel looked at me in confusion as she didn’t think that I would understand her complex state of mind and help her.

Even though I’m helping her, she looks at me more suspiciously since she sees me as a potential threat to Chloe, so I’m an enemy.

This is not because of my strength or because Merlin and Zelretch seem to obey me, but because she seem to instinctively want to protect her princess lest she fall into the clutches of some perverted asshole. Basically her maternal instinct kicked in.

I looked at Irisviel and spoke listlessly. – “Chloe is now my daughter so I am going to take care of her in case of any discomfort, so I hope you don’t hurt her again”

Irisviel frowned. – “I would never hurt my daughter…”

She’s regained a bit of her confidence, but her mental state is still weak, so this is a great time for Illya to notice something strange.

“Daughter?” – Illya could no longer contain her confusion and discomfort.

“…” – Irisviel closed her mouth not knowing how to explain the situation. It certainly must be uncomfortable having to explain the truth when her mind and heart are still unsteady.

I frowned when Irisviel couldn’t speak. – “Illya is my daughter’s friend and she deserves to know the truth”

“T-The truth?” – Illya’s anxiety increased, which also increased Irisviel’s concern.

I showed anger when Irisviel couldn’t speak, so I spoke with more force and a subtle hint of hostility. – “Chloe already told me the story and I understand that maybe there is a misunderstanding, but if you don’t tell Illya the truth then I will”

“…” – Irisviel bit her lip.

It’s obvious that Chloe’s perspective would be tragic and horrible, so Irisviel was worried that Illya would misunderstand the truth if she heard that version of the story, but at the same time, she was not in a position to tell the truth as her mind and heart kept aching from all the bad that has happened in less than four hours.

Chloe was no longer totally furious with her mother, but she still held a resentment, so she didn’t wait for Irisviel to make up her mind and looked at Illya with contempt. – “Listen to me, fake…”

“F-Fake? I?” – Illya pointed to herself with confusion.

Miyu seemed more and more angry with Chloe, but she is too obedient and she remained silent since she could see that I also care about Chloe’s well-being and she doesn’t want me to hate her…

Ah, I’ll have to spoil Miyu later so that her heart doesn’t feel hurt.

It’s hard to be a good parent, especially when my childhood sucked.

Maybe I need a parenting course…

Anyway, Chloe started telling her version of her story, which horrified Illya.

Unlike when Chloe told me the story, she wasn’t as rude and didn’t show as much hate, but she still made sure that Illya understood what a horrible act her parents had done.

“No no… NO!” – Illya is a normal child who has never experienced the cruelty of the world, she has not even faced any kind of tragedy, so she could not understand the magnitude of Chloe’s pain, but the very idea that her parents would have done something so horrible made her run to her room.

“Illya!” – The pink magic wand quickly went to the stairs to accompany Illya. Although that magic item is stupid, it seems that she really cares about the brat.

Miyu panicked seeing her best friend cry and looked at me for permission to go to her friend’s side.

I nodded. – “Go with your friend”

Miyu quickly bowed to say goodbye and went up the stairs with the blue magic wand to go to Illya’s room.

Illya let her friend in and she started crying. Miyu has lousy social skills, so she could only remain silent while Illya cried, but Illya felt better seeing that her new friend stayed by her side.

Right now, Illya is deeply hurt and disappointed, but this is not the right time for me to intervene.

As I said before, mentally she is just a normal child, so helping her right now will only make her see me as a trustworthy adult and at most she will see me as a second big brother, but the possibility of romantic love will be too difficult and currently I don’t have a lot of time to manipulate her emotions in the traditional way.

I sighed and looked at Irisviel. – “For now things have become complicated, so I need to ask you a favor”

Irisviel didn’t answer me as she kept looking at the stairs with concern.

I patted Chloe’s head and smiled. – “Chloe, it would be good if you spend time with your mother to clear up any misunderstanding, you could also talk a bit with Illya since she is technically your sister… Also, I would like you to be less aggressive with Illya, even if you hate her, she is the Miyu’s best friend and she is also my daughter”

“…” – Chloe didn’t want to get along with Illya, but she was willing to try when she heard that she is Miyu’s best friend since she doesn’t want to cause trouble in her new family. – “I will try, but I do not promise that things will turn out well…”

I nodded with a smile. – “Good girl”

Chloe smiled. – “But daddy will have to reward me~”

…

I want to die.

I sighed. – “Brat, do not overdo it”

Chloe stuck her tongue out at me mockingly and headed for the stairs. – “I will try to get along with… well, my sisters…”

Chloe went up the stairs and headed for Illya’s room.

I looked at Nyaruko. – “Please take care of those brats, make sure they don’t try to kill themselves”

“Sure, I’ll take care of your loli farm~” – Nyaruko grabbed a pizza box and hurried to Illya’s room.

Although she always acts like a fool, she is actually one of the smartest women in my harem so she understood my intentions. She has to make sure that Chloe, Irisviel and Illya realize that I’m the only man they can trust.

I walked over to Shinji and grabbed his neck to force him to his feet. – “You mentioned that you have a secret lair, take us to that place”

Shinji nodded quickly. – “Yes sir, I will sir, please don’t kill me sir…”

“Stop acting like a fucking coward when you have that face!” – Luviagelita spoke furiously and resisted the desire to break Shinji’s face, or well, Shirou.

Rin was also furious, but her attention was more focused on the purple haired girl.

That girl is Sakura Matou, one of the heroines of the Fate franchise and she is Rin’s sister, but due to the stupid circumstances of the magicians, she was adopted by another family.

Technically she is a normal girl in this timeline, and although her Character Sheet indicates that she is a tragic heroine, in this timeline she has a normal life, or so it should have been.

Shinji used Sakura as a punching bag to test his new magic, so she is now a tragic woman too.

Rin wanted to kill Shinji when she heard what he did to Sakura, but she held back as he is still needed to find Shirou.

During the interrogation, I showed kindness and destroyed the mental parasite inside Sakura’s head, but although the girl was now free, when she woke up she started screaming and scratching her own face, so I had to use acupuncture to put her to sleep and now Rin is taking care of her.

Rin thought that Skaura was traumatized and that’s why she had that reaction, but the situation is much more complicated.

Sakura is going through the same process that Shinji went through. Her mind and soul are connecting to the different versions of Sakura that exist in the Fate franchise, but she doesn’t have the assistance of the entity that helped Shinji, so Sakura’s mind is falling apart.

Apparently Sakura is a tragic character in most timelines, so she is suffering the pain of multiple lifetimes. It’s like she’s the emotional punching bag of the author of Fate.

Anyway, according to Paranoia’s calculations I already have plans for her.

“Ah, back to work… just when I was having fun” – Merlin sighed with disappointment.

“Fou Fou (You never work, idiot)” – Fou snorted contemptuously and kicked Merlin’s face making him fall to the ground.

We were about to leave, but Irisviel raised her voice. – “Wait, I’m coming with you!”

Her gaze showed a lot of resolve and stubbornness as if she is willing to follow us even if I want to kill her.

I sighed and looked at Irisviel. – “I know we did not have a good first impression, but I want to ask you a favor… Please stay here while I look for your son”

Irisviel frowned. – “He is my son, as a mother it is my duty to look for him”

This time it was Zelretch who sighed. – “Miss, the situation is much more complicated than you can imagine, it would be better if you stay here to take care of the girls”

Irisviel stopped for a moment since she doesn’t want to leave her daughters, but she also wants to look for her son.

I sighed again, but this time I showed a little more kindness. – “You are a good mother, but now there are two girls who need their mother”

“…” – Irisviel clenched her fists and still couldn’t make a decision.

“The favor I need is simple…” – I spoke with a complicated feeling that Irisviel recognized as concern towards death, which made her feel uncomfortable. – “I will be honest with you, things look bad and I cannot promise that I will find your son, but I want you to promise me something”

Irisviel was about to scream again, but I didn’t let her speak.

“If I die, I want you to take care of Miyu and Chloe” – The seriousness in my voice made Irisviel stay silent. – “In fact, Zelretch, it would be better if you let your disciples stay here”

Even Merlin and Zelretch were surprised by my words, but they agreed.

“Rin, Luvia, you stay here and I don’t want you to cause problems” – Zelretch spoke like a strict grandfather giving instructions to his granddaughters.

Both girls seemed to want to argue, but they nodded at the old man’s strict gaze.

Irisviel was now very worried. Zelretch’s attitude showed that the situation was more dangerous than she could imagine, but it increased her desire to accompany us to rescue her son.

“I want to think that what you did to Chloe was a misunderstanding, so I’ll trust you with my daughters” – I sighed and headed for the door. – “One more thing, the silver-haired girl may seem a bit silly, but she is very strong, so you should always stay close to her”

“Wait!” – Irisviel wanted to continue talking, but we left the house and I closed the door, then I placed a defensive barrier so that Irisviel couldn’t get out, but other people could enter. The maids went shopping and will be back in a little while, so they can go into the house.

I sighed and turned my attention back to Shinji. – “Walk towards your base or I will rip your skin off”

Shinji nodded quickly and started walking.

“Wow, your techniques to seduce married women are amazing” – Merlin praised me, but he was only joking since he knows that the situation is dangerous and there really is a possibility that all of us will be killed, or well, that’s what he think.

“Thank you, I practice every day” – Act like you are following the joke.

“Ah, these young people…” – Zelretch sighed like an old man disappointed in the youth.

The three of us joke around like carefree idiots, a good way to deal with the stress of knowing that a single mistake can cause the end of the world.

While I know what I must do to protect Gaia, I admit that I am very concerned. Things really aren’t quite right and my bad feelings only keep growing…

Ah, being a protagonist is troublesome.
