Abnormality In Type-Moon: Madness Of Animeverse

Truth be told, Tohsaka Rin actually had a fair chance.

After all, while Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nakano Ichika had their own unique charms, they were ultimately just Roy's attendants. Despite gaining magical abilities, they still had a long way to go before they could even be considered magi.

Aoko Aozaki might have been a real challenge. If she truly held romantic feelings for Roy, Utaha and Ichika would be completely outmatched, and even Rin might find it difficult to get close. Fortunately, Aoko had already made it clear that she harbored no such sentiments for Roy, nor did she care about anyone else's pursuit.

With that, Rin stood out as the most suitable partner for Roy—she was both a skilled magus and someone Roy had known for years. As the mayor of Fuyuki City, she was also Roy's peer in status.

If she were willing to take the initiative, it wouldn't be hard for her to surpass Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nakano Ichika and claim her place by Roy's side. She'd become his most legitimate partner, in the center position.

And when that happened...

Hayasaka Ai could finally stop living in constant vigilance, wondering if she'd unknowingly step on Roy's landmine and lose her life. Or worse, end up being forced onto his bed as a tool to break his curse.

Yes, she was thinking of her own future.

It was obvious that Roy and Tohsaka Rin were a perfect match. Whether she served Roy or Rin, the outcome would be the same. Naturally, she had to think ahead for her own security.

Pushing her master into Roy's arms was just her way of staying safe.

"But… how am I supposed to do that?" Rin's hesitant voice shook slightly.

Roy's house was practically overflowing with beautiful women. If she wanted to win his affection, she couldn't afford to be passive. With the Tohsaka family down to just her, it wasn't like anyone could complain if she ended up with a homunculus husband.

"Just take him to bed."

Rin's eyes went wide.

"Ai… what are you even saying?"

Hayasaka Ai remained expressionless.

"This is the most effective approach. If you're thinking of going through all the typical dating steps before getting together with him, who knows when that'll happen? Might as well be in the next century."

Seeing Rin's reluctance, Ai sighed and continued firmly.

"Or are you saying that, after all Roy's done for you, you don't think he deserves your commitment?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Rin pressed her hand over Ai's mouth.

The kitchen and the living room were connected, and if Ai kept talking that loudly, someone was bound to hear. She'd die of embarrassment if that happened!

"I'm not saying that. It's just… well, doing that right away is… a bit much…" Rin muttered, clearly uncomfortable with the idea.

Ai nodded to herself, observing Rin carefully.

It wasn't that Rin didn't want to take action.

She just felt like her relationship with Roy wasn't quite there yet.

In that case, Ai only needed to give her a little nudge in the right direction.

"I've seen Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nakano Ichika practically throwing themselves at Roy these past few days."

"What?" Rin's eyes narrowed, her gaze sharpening.

"They're his attendants, you know. Close at hand and ready to act whenever an opportunity arises," Ai said, her tone light but calculated.

"Hmm…"

"Besides, those two have… well, let's just say, pretty impressive figures. A lot of men are into that. And Roy is a normal guy. Who's to say he won't find himself tempted?"

Ai smirked to herself. If only Rin knew—Roy had long since crossed that line.

Rin, now visibly troubled, bit her lip. Ai leaned in close, her voice lowering to a near-whisper.

"Honestly, Rin, you don't have to go all the way right off the bat. There are… other ways to get close."

Rin's face instantly turned scarlet.

How does Ai know so much about this?!

Roy massaged his forehead, feeling a throbbing ache that was getting worse by the minute.

His eyes stung with a strange weariness, and he found it difficult to keep them open.

"Is this some kind of reaction to the arm transplant?"

He rubbed his temples, trying to alleviate the discomfort. He'd just had an intense time with Ichika in the bath earlier, so if this strange ache was a result of his curse acting up, that should have been enough to dispel it. The fact that the pain was intensifying suggested that it wasn't from the curse.

But then, it couldn't be a complication from the transplant either. Aoko's work was top-tier; no one else could match her skill. Just reattaching an arm wouldn't cause these symptoms.

So, what was happening?

Roy inspected his body from head to toe but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Maybe it's just fatigue, he thought. It was late, after all. He decided it was time to get some rest.

"Master, if I may speak with you for a moment."

Just as he turned to head for bed, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Saber? What's the matter?"

"I led you into danger on multiple occasions today. I am ashamed to face you."

"No need to worry about that."

Roy squeezed the bridge of his nose, his tone reassuring.

"Honestly, the enemies we faced today were just too powerful. If it had been any other opponent, you'd have handled it fine. You managed to take down Caster, didn't you?"

"That was only thanks to you, Master… But I'm grateful for your understanding. I'm truly blessed to serve under someone like you."

Her tone grew lighter, the shadow of guilt lifting slightly.

"Actually, Master, I wanted to tell you that… I do have another form."

"Another form?" Roy's interest piqued, the fog in his mind momentarily clearing.

She must mean her Berserker form.

It was said that her demonic form was fused with someone else's power, creating a formidable fusion.

Does she know how to access that form?

"You're telling me this because you know how to transform?" he asked, his curiosity mounting.

If she could assume her Berserker form, that would significantly bolster their side.

"I… vaguely remember the method. It was almost impossible before, but now… well, it could be done."

There was hesitation in her voice, but she sounded resolute by the end.

"To be honest, Master, I don't know much about that side of myself. Instinctively, I feel a bit afraid of it. But if it's for your victory, I'll gladly lend you that power."

After finishing his conversation with Saber, Roy returned to his room.

He shook his head, trying to shake off the mental fatigue. His vision blurred slightly as the heaviness in his mind continued to grow, weighing him down more and more with each step.

"Sleep… sleep…"

He thought he heard a whisper near his ear.

But he couldn't tell where it was coming from. Overwhelmed by a wave of exhaustion, his mind felt sluggish, almost paralyzed, and the ability to think drained away.

It felt unnervingly similar to when the curse overtook him.

Roy steadied himself on the edge of his bed, just about to climb in when—

His vision went black.

His body went slack, and he crumpled by the bedside, falling into a deep, heavy slumber.

The door creaked open quietly.

Rin, dressed in nothing but a thin nightgown, slipped into the room.

Her cheeks were flushed, but she froze upon seeing Roy lying by the bed. Quickly, she hurried over, bending down to examine him.

"Nothing seems wrong… he's just asleep…"

But if he was merely asleep, why was he lying by the side of the bed instead of on it?

Sensing something off, Rin hurriedly left the room, her expression clouded with worry.
