"A... Astolfo."
Chester stared at the Servant before him.
Rabbit ear decorations on the head. Long pink hair divided into two strands standing beside the ears. A black vest on the upper body. A pair of over-the-knee black stockings on the lower body.
It was as if Astolfo had removed all the unnecessary Rider equipment while still retaining maximum exposed skin area and boundless energy.
Chester felt the terror of what could only be called "Mind Reading Gone Wrong" at this moment.
He had only thought about Charlemagne in his mind!
So why was it Astolfo AGAIN?!
Could it be that Charlemagne was somehow a keyword for summoning Astolfo?
Thinking this, Chester stiffly turned his neck to look at Maverick.
His resentful gaze made Maverick feel like a cornered animal.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's as if I've infected you with some curse!"
"Hey! Are you a Master?"
Astolfo bounced forward, eyes sparkling.
"You didn't die! Or rather, you've been resurrected! It's really been a long time, and you've summoned me again! We truly are fated!"
"Uh, well... I went through all sorts of things and then got resurrected."
What else could Chester say? He could only go along with Astolfo's enthusiasm.
"By the way, Astolfo... why are you dressed like this?"
Looking at Astolfo—who hopped and skipped like a rabbit, darting in front of him and grabbing his right hand with both of his—
Even though Chester knew the other party was a boy, this tempting bunny outfit still made him swallow involuntarily.
Facing Chester's question, Astolfo's cheeks flushed red. He turned his face away and whispered:
"Oh, it's all because of you, Master~"
"...What?"
"Because you said I was as cute as a little rabbit!"
Astolfo beamed.
"So I specially changed into a bunny outfit! How is it? Do you like it?"
Chester's brain short-circuited.
"But please rest assured, Master! Even so, my combat power is guaranteed!"
Astolfo struck a heroic pose.
"As the saying goes: Your sword is my sword! This time, as a Saber Servant, I will protect you with all my might! The sad things from before will definitely not happen again!"
His eyes softened.
"So, Master... let's have a touching reunion hug!"
It would have been quite touching.
If only the handshake hadn't been with five times the normal force.
That's right—by wielding a sword, Astolfo's overall strength was significantly higher than his Rider form.
At the same time:
His chivalry was slightly enhanced His politeness increased by 5% The duration he could maintain rationality increased by 5 seconds The depth of his bow increased by about 5 degrees And he would shake hands with five times the force
This was why Chester, before he could even appreciate Astolfo's soft and delicate hand, was already grimacing from the crushing grip.
But before Chester could react—
After his rambling declaration, Astolfo directly pulled Chester into his embrace.
And then lifted him high with a powerful hoist.
Like a princess carry.
But reversed.
Seeing this, the way the others present looked at Chester was... quite meaningful.
Feeling these gazes, the flustered Chester subconsciously blurted out:
"Don't misunderstand! He's a boy!"
...
Well.
At this moment, Chester finally understood the saying: When mud falls into your pants, even if it's not what you think, it looks like what you think.
It would have been better if he hadn't explained.
With the explanation, everyone's gazes toward Chester became even stranger.
Especially Maverick, who actually took the lead in covering his rear and backing away.
You of all people should know what's going on!
And with Maverick leading the way, the remaining male streamers—whether it was Professor, Andrew, or Monkey—all silently distanced themselves from Chester.
Danny, on the other hand, showed a look of pure enjoyment. Clearly, certain demographics could never refuse such entertainment.
And the chat erupted in joyous chaos.
[Boomerang_Bob]: What does it mean when your own words come back as boomerangs to hit you?
[I_Told_You_So_Ian]: Sigh, I told you not to praise people indiscriminately. Now you've created trouble!
[Conflicted_Carl]: Ah, it's so painful! Astolfo is so cute, but as soon as I remember he's a boy, I can't get excited!
[Philosophical_Phil]: Young man~ life isn't always smooth sailing. Sometimes you have to face challenges head-on!
[Inclusive_Irene]: This chat is indeed very... inclusive
[Laughing_Larry]: Heh heh, TOO inclusive
[Dramatic_Diana]: It's over. Saber class is ruined.
[Lore_Larry]: Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen a Servant with alternate class options besides Artoria!
[Curious_Cathy]: Pure wholesome boy AND passionate bunny outfit? Max, what else don't I know about?!
[Devoted_Dan]: Max, please continue to increase the intensity! If we can see such blissful scenes every day, we're willing to remain single forever!
[Cosplay_Request]: Isn't Astolfo too clingy? I'm going to make my roommate do the same cosplay!
[Envious_Eddie]: Envious of the roommate
In short, let it all be destroyed. I'm tired.
Although Chester couldn't see the chat comments, he had already anticipated the storm outside.
Seeing Chester silently standing aside—allowing Astolfo to hook his arm, looking like a golden jade "maiden"—
Maverick took over command of the team.
To be honest, when Chester had stared at him earlier, Maverick couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After all, there was indeed an element of curse transference at play.
But no matter what, it was a good thing that he hadn't summoned a Saber.
It wasn't that he disliked Artoria or anything. He just occasionally wanted a change of pace.
And he had specifically asked Max before participating in this test:
"If I win this round, can I obtain a Holy Relic of a Heroic Spirit?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Maverick's heart had become excited.
In any case, the main curse shouldn't apply to team matches, right?
With this thought, Maverick stepped forward as the second person to perform a Heroic Spirit summon.
The summoning circle blazed with blue light.
However, as the light faded, Maverick's eyes became hollow.
"...My codename is Mysterious Heroine X."
A blonde figure emerged from the light. Blue bodysuit. Weird hat. Familiar face.
"I am a Servant summoned to deal with the increasing Saber problem, which has recently become a social issue."
She adjusted her hat dramatically.
"Please take care of me! By the way, my class is Saber!"
Maverick's eye twitched violently.
"Don't talk nonsense! Your class is clearly Assassin! And looking at you, you're obviously Artoria, aren't you?!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The Servant crossed her arms defensively.
"My Pseudo—I mean, I am Mysterious Heroine X! An existence summoned to completely excise the cancerous race of Artoria from the universe!"
"..."
[Dead_Inside_Dan]: MAVERICK'S CURSE CONTINUES
[Laughing_Lisa]: He summoned ARTORIA while trying NOT to summon Artoria!
[Irony_Ivan]: An Artoria-face who hunts Artorias... summoned by the guy cursed to summon Artorias
[Philosophical_Pete]: This is poetry
[Crying_Carl]: Maverick cannot escape his fate
Maverick stared at Mysterious Heroine X.
X stared back, clearly offended by his accusation.
"I told you, I'm NOT Artoria!"
"Your face says otherwise!"
"My face is a COINCIDENCE!"
Chester, still being clung to by Astolfo, finally spoke up:
"Welcome to my world, Maverick."
His voice was flat. Defeated.
"The curse follows you."
