Book 6: Chapter 7:2: Queen of Sheba! Part 2
After the livestream started, Chen Heng shifted his gaze to Doctor Roman.
“Chen Heng, I’m starting now. Guard our surroundings.”
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, even a fly won’t get within a kilometer.”
As Chen Heng spoke, he controlled the iron sand deep beneath the surface, two kilometers away, to envelop a dark figure, then dragged that figure underground.
Using the remaining iron sand, he formed a dozen high-frequency vibrating swords and stabbed them into the ground. When it was over, the iron sand returned to the earth as if nothing had happened.
As Chen Heng had said, he had confidence in his combat prowess. Furthermore, let’s not forget he also possessed the Absolute Precognition. He had prepared this gift for Hassan long ago, and Diarmuid’s gift was also ready.

“Master, Hassan reported that one of his clones disappeared as soon as it came within two kilometers of the mana fluctuation.” At this time, Kotomine Kirei, who was serving at Tohsaka Tokiomi’s side, received Hassan’s report through the Master-Servant link and passed it to his mentor, Tohsaka Tokiomi.
“I see? It’s likely a powerful Magus or possibly a Servant.”
“Master, should I ask Hassan to send more clones? Or should we ask the king to…”
“No, there’s no need. Since that Magus or Servant could easily deal with one of Hassan’s clones, sending more would be futile unless we assembled all of Hassan’s clones in one place. But then Hassan’s usefulness would be greatly reduced. As for the king, he’s even more unfeasible. Such a minor matter would displease him greatly.” Tohsaka Tokiomi paused, then proposed a solution.
“Send one of Hassan’s clones to guard the vicinity but don’t get too close. I believe such a large mana fluctuation should arouse the curiosity of other Magi. Let them scout.”
“Yes, Master.”

“Doctor Roman, stop staring at me. If you keep looking at me like this, I won’t remain polite.” Chen Heng sat cross-legged on the grass, then used his attraction ability to dig out an enormous block of soil, ten meters in diameter. He even used gravity to compress the dirt block, condensing it into a rock. If this rock fell on an ordinary Servant, they would be severely injured, if not killed.
“Aren’t you scared?” Chen Heng swung his arm, and the rock in the sky followed his hand’s trajectory, flying around in strange patterns.
“…Why am I staring at you? Don’t you know why?” Doctor Roman kept his intense gaze fixed on Chen Heng, despite the massive thing hanging overhead.
“Doctor Roman, look at what you are saying. If you don’t say it, how would I know?” Chen Heng placed the ten-meter-tall rock beside him. It was a bit too big for a toy.
“You tell me. Did you make a shady deal with Skadi? Why else would the holy relic she gave be wrong?” Doctor Roman picked up a stone and threw it at Chen Heng, who didn’t even move. The attraction barrier in front of Chen Heng deflected the stone.
“No, I remember giving Skadi a queen’s holy relic,” Chen Heng defended himself.
“So, it was you,” Doctor Roman said. “Yes, it’s good it’s a queen. But why Sheba?” He shook his head, trying to dislodge the heavy weight there.
“My king, don’t do that; it tickles,” the Queen of Sheba protested, covering her blushing face. Then she placed the two massive lumps of flesh that Doctor Roman shook off back on his head.
With a resigned “Erm…,” Doctor Roman sat on the grass, passively “enjoying” the Queen of Sheba’s “breast pillows.”
This led Doctor Roman to recall how things had come to be this way.
Before the summoning, he’d scrutinized the summoning ritual for errors. Only when he was certain everything was correct had he started the real summoning.
The Greater Holy Grail supplied most of the mana, and the rest came from the Dimension Administrators Association, so Doctor Roman was freed of mana worries.
He had set the teardrop-shaped red gem from Skadi on the summoning ritual. Now, he wondered, Isn’t that gem the Queen of Sheba’s pendant? Why didn’t I recognize it before? Damn! How could I have forgotten?
After placing the holy relic, Doctor Roman had sent Skadi a private message and started the summoning.
“I hereby declare…protector of the holy balance!” As Doctor Roman’s incantation continued and the Dimension Administrators Association’s mana filled the summoning ritual, the glow within the ritual had grown brighter and brighter.
Just as Doctor Roman finished speaking, a figure had appeared on the summoning ritual—a successful summoning, it seemed.
“Ska—” Doctor Roman had begun to greet Skadi in the summoning ritual but was stunned to see the results when the light faded. He remained stunned there for a while; things had not gone…as he had anticipated.
“My king, it has been a long time,” said the figure, who was not Skadi, as Doctor Roman had expected, but a very, very, very, very familiar person, rather, his wife—the Queen of Sheba.
After greeting Doctor Roman, the Queen of Sheba pounced on him, resulting in his current predicament.
Doctor Roman sat on the grass with the Queen of Sheba half-kneeling behind him, providing him with breast pillows, or rather, breast cushions.
Doctor Roman thus experienced what was called an unbearable weight in life.
End of flashback…
After reflecting on the events, Doctor Roman looked at Chen Heng with hostility. No matter how he thought about it, the most suspicious person in this matter was Chen Heng, who had admitted to giving the holy relic to Skadi.
Doctor Roman recalled how he had been prompted to invite Skadi by Chen Heng, and Skadi had immediately agreed and sent the holy relic over. Doctor Roman couldn’t believe there was no collusion between these two.
After all, given Skadi’s personality, she would not play tricks on others.
“Skadi is the Queen of Ice and Snow, and Sheba is also a queen. It’s just a difference in what they are queens of, isn’t it? Don’t sweat the small stuff,” Chen Heng retorted.
“That’s quite a difference…so you did this, right?” Doctor Roman decided to confirm once more.
“Do you mean discussing how to trick you with Skadi or who provided the holy relic?” Chen Heng asked. “Either way, there’s no difference. I admit to it all.” Chen Heng spoke with no trace of embarrassment, standing tall as he admitted his actions to Doctor Roman.
Chen Heng didn’t feel that what he had done was bad or a prank; he sincerely thought he was helping Doctor Roman out. Alaya and Gaia could attest to this.
If they did not vouch for him, Chen Heng would beat them to death. Either way, they were both on Chen Heng’s hit list…erm…good deeds notebook.
