Chapter 1354 Preparation
Haru didn't expect the next quest to be in the world of Fate/Apocrypha since there were a lot of series from Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Zero, Tsukihime, Fate/Grand Order, and even Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya.
However, it didn't really matter which series it was, the only problem that Shinobu would let her body be possessed by the Ruler which made him felt a bit complicated.
Fortunately, Haru knew the one who possessed Shinobu's body would be Jeanne D'Arc, but still, he needed to protect her no matter what when he came to the quest. He also needed to think about whether he should join Black Faction or Red Faction.
Unlike the usual Holy Grail War, in the Fate/Apocrypha, there were two factions that fought to each other to get the right to use the Holy Grail and those factions were Black Faction and Red Faction.
The Black Faction is made up of members of Yggdmillennia and The Red Faction consists of people selected by the Clock Tower specifically for the purpose of retrieving the Greater Grail and stopping Yggdmillennia's defection.
Haru tried to remember the story of Fate/Apocrypha and thought that it was better for him to join Black Faction rather than Red Faction.
It wasn't that the Black Faction was better or anything, but the people in Black Faction were much simpler than the people in Red Faction.
In Red Faction, this faction was being led by Amakusa Shirou who was also the Ruler within the Holy Grail War, but that wasn't the problem, the problem this guy dared to poison every master. in the Red Faction then made all the servants in Red Faction follow his words.
On the other hand, Black Faction wouldn't do such a trick since the being of the mage was a very prideful person and they hated such an underhanded attack.
If they wanted to kill him, then they would attack him from up-front rather than smiling saying that they were his friends and when they saw a chance, they would kill him without hesitation.
If he really joined the Red Faction, he wouldn't be able to sleep, especially when there was Semiramis, who was known as the Queen of Poison.
Haru knew very well what his weakness was and if possible, he wanted to stay away from that kind of dangerous woman. If he got close, he would be spirited and would try to conquer that woman. It was his bad habit, but it was very hard to stop it.
From the story, he knew that Semiramis didn't want to be treated like a trophy and wanted to work together, she even let Shirou Amakusa use her as his will to achieve his ambition.
Haru had to admit that Shirou Amakusa really had his own way with a woman since he also did the same with his woman.
Women weren't fragile, they were strong. If they weren't strong then it was impossible for them to hold a huge belly for nine months and hold a pain when they gave birth. When they loved someone, they wanted to help their man wholeheartedly, and that was why he let his women help him since he also needed their help.
However, because of that, he needed to treat them better, loved them more, wished to make them happy every day, and shouldn't betray them.
Anyway, let's return to the topic, that he and Shinobu would perform this quest together.
There were eight quests that he needed to complete in this world, and it should be possible for him to complete all of the quests, but then he was wondering who he should invite to the group chat for this quest.
Haru knew that he shouldn't invite Amakusa Shirou since Shirou's dream was just ridiculous.
'To make the world at peace.'
Haru knew that it was an impossible thing and once the world was at peace, there wouldn't be a competition and if there wasn't a competition, then the people in this world would be lazy and once that happened, before long, the world would be gone.
There was no perfect world and it was all good when the world was imperfect, but that made it beautiful.
'Amakusa Shirou…'
Haru thought about this name and knew that it was quite a famous figure in this country since this person was one of the people who tried to rebel against the shogunate in the past then being killed before his head was shown on the pike.
In the past, most people who lived under the shogunate weren't good, but it didn't mean all of them were unhappy, however, Amakusa Shirou wanted to fix all of that and made Japan become a better country for everyone.
However, that was Amakusa Shirou's fault, since religion shouldn't intervene with the matter of government. It was also the reason why this person was being killed at that time and all of his followers were also being killed by the shogunate.
If he was in the government then he would also do the same since Amakusa Shirou would threaten his interest, in the worse case, his family might be killed by Amakusa Shirou and his followers.
If Amakusa Shirou's rebellion was successful then the shogunate might be over and one by one there would be an uprising organization that tried to overthrow the shogunate since human nature was greedy and they wouldn't be satisfied with their status quota. Once they were given a chance, they would bite the neck of their master as long as the interest was big enough.
Haru was in his shrine, reading the story about Amakusa Shirou. He felt that there were a lot of things that could be learned from history, especially the failure of those legendary people in the past. He loved to learn why those people failed so he wouldn't make the same mistake in his life.
The weather was raining so he decided to stay in the shrine and didn't go to school since he needed to prepare for the quest.
*Pitter-patter… Pitter-patter… Pitter-patter…*
Haru looked at the rain which splashed into the window of his shrine. He was in the corridor which was located near his living room, watching the scenery outside through the large window in front of him.
Haru hoped during the school festival at his school, the rain would stop since in such an event, everyone would be sad and he would also perform a performance during the school. He closed his eyes and sometimes, hoping for one day to be 40 hours since then, he could spend more time with his girlfriends.
Looking at the rain, Haru knew that the members of Muse wouldn't come to his shrine, and he thought to go for the quest, however, suddenly he noticed a presence that was running in the direction of his shrine. He raised his eyebrow then noticed a familiar blonde hair.
"!!!"
Haru quickly went to the entrance of the shrine and opened the door.
"Eli, what are you doing running under this rain?"
Eli quickly entered the entrance of his shrine quickly then looked at him with a mischievous smile.
"I want to spend time with you alone."
"…"
'Should I eat her first?'
Haru thought at that moment.
