Throughout their shopping trip—Rin tried to discreetly gather information about Roy from Sakura, hoping to uncover some hidden flaw or malicious intent.
However, instead of finding any dirt on Roy, she stumbled upon a revelation that left her utterly bewildered.
"Wait, you're saying that the entire Matou mansion was replaced by a manor conjured by Roy?" Rin asked, her voice laced with disbelief.
How could someone create an entire mansion out of thin air? It seemed impossible!
She had visited Sakura's new home and noticed the striking difference.
A shimmering—multicolored barrier enveloped the property, preventing anyone from seeing inside.
But she distinctly remembered that the original Matou residence wasn't like this.
The idea of someone creating a mansion out of nothing was simply beyond her comprehension.
"It's true," Sakura confirmed with a nod.
She understood Rin's skepticism.
As a child, she hadn't grasped the significance of such a feat. But after studying magecraft at the Clock Tower, she realized how incredible it was.
Creating a mansion from nothing was practically impossible with magic.
Perhaps only a wish-granting device like the Holy Grail or a True Magic could achieve such a feat.
Even Medusa—standing beside them, found it hard to believe. Could a human truly possess such power?
"Hmph, that's just a story to fool little girls. No one can do such a thing!" Ishtar scoffed—tossing her long black hair dismissively. She didn't believe it for a second.
Roy didn't bother explaining. After all, there were many more unbelievable things to come.
...
They continued shopping until noon, then Roy took them to an amusement park.
The girls, who had never been to an amusement park before, were fascinated by everything.
They played until evening, finally stopping as the beautiful sunset painted the sky.
"Alright, let's call it a day," Roy said to Rin, waving goodbye as he prepared to head home with Sakura and Irisviel.
"See you!" Rin waved back.
After spending the day together, her impression of Roy had improved slightly.
She noticed that he genuinely cared for Sakura, even if he was a bit of a pervert.
"Rin, if you're free tomorrow, you can come visit our home," Roy suddenly offered.
"Yes, Onee-chan!" Sakura chimed in.
Rin hesitated. As a magus, it wasn't customary to casually visit another magus's home.
A magus's home was essentially their workshop, filled with traps and dangers.
But thinking of Sakura, she agreed.
"Okay, I will."
She trusted that Sakura wouldn't harm her.
And she had to make sure that Sakura wasn't being mistreated by this "detestable" man.
"Then... see you tomorrow!"
"See you!"
...
After saying their goodbyes, Roy, Sakura, and Irisviel returned home.
As soon as they arrived, Sakura put on an apron and started preparing dinner.
"You're amazing, Sakura—I'm one lucky guy," Roy said with a lazy grin, giving her a thumbs-up from his spot on the sofa.
Sakura blushed, fidgeting with her apron.
She couldn't resist his praise.
After dinner, Sakura was about to wash the dishes, but Roy stopped her.
"Sakura, leave that to them," he said, gesturing towards the upper-level elemental spirits who were acting as maids.
Cleaning and chores were their tasks.
Sakura nodded obediently, then went to prepare a bath for Roy, acting like a devoted wife.
Roy shrugged and let her be.
...
After his bath, as Roy was about to go to bed, he suddenly remembered something.
In this Holy Grail War, Medea, the Caster-class Servant—had been summoned by a wealthy businessman.
And that businessman had tried to take advantage of her.
Medea—however, tricked him into using all his Command Spells, then killed him.
It was unheard of for a Servant to kill their own Master right after being summoned.
But Roy didn't pity the businessman.
He was more interested in Medea.
Medea was known as the "Witch of Betrayal," but she was originally a pure and innocent woman.
She was a talented magus who would do anything for the person she loved.
In the original story, she had been saved by Souichirou Kuzuki—a man who could catch Noble Phantasms with his bare hands—and fallen deeply in love with him.
But in the end, she met a tragic fate.
Roy decided to save Medea, the woman who would sacrifice everything for love.
He activated a magic circle and vanished.
"Eh? Where's Roy-onii-chan?" Sakura wondered, entering Roy's room after her bath and finding him gone.
...
Roy appeared in the forest near Ryuudou Temple.
He found Medea, barely clinging to life.
She wore an indigo and purple hooded cloak and a long purple robe.
Her face was hidden by the hood, giving her the appearance of a mysterious witch.
She was a beautiful woman, but her expression was cold and harsh.
She had long blue hair and eyes, and pointed ears that marked her as different from ordinary humans.
She wore purple lipstick and had a braid on the left side of her head.
Medea was both beautiful and dangerous.
She was known for her ruthlessness, cruelty, and cunning.
But this personality was a result of her tragic past and the betrayals she had suffered.
Having been betrayed repeatedly, she had become the very thing she despised.
Roy approached her without hesitation.
Hearing his footsteps, Medea tensed up.
Without a Master, she couldn't replenish her magical energy.
She had been gravely injured while fleeing from her former Master's men.
She was barely holding on, but she refused to return to the Throne of Heroes.
"Young lady, do you need help?" Roy asked.
Medea's eyes narrowed.
She didn't know his intentions and remained silent.
Roy continued walking towards her, seemingly unconcerned about the danger she posed.
Medea was indeed a dangerous woman.
She would kill without hesitation if she deemed someone an enemy.
But deep down, she was like a lovesick girl, willing to give everything to the person she loved.
"Are you alright?" Roy asked, placing his hand on her shoulder.
Medea was about to attack, but she found she couldn't move.
Had this man done something to her?
A cold glint flashed in her eyes. She would kill him as soon as she regained control of her body.
But then, a surge of powerful magic flowed into her, healing her wounds in an instant.
Even her depleted magical energy was fully replenished.
Medea was stunned. This man had restored her to peak condition in the blink of an eye.
Who was he?
She suddenly felt intrigued by this mysterious man.
And as someone who would devote herself entirely to the person she loved, she found herself falling for him.
"Are you feeling better now?" Roy asked with concern.
"Y-Yes," Medea stammered, her face slightly flushed.
"That's good. Be careful out there," Roy said, turning to leave.
He was playing hard to get.
And it worked.
"Wait..." Medea called out.
"Yes?" Roy turned around with a smile.
"Um... would you be my Master?" she asked, her face reddening.
This was the first time she had ever asked someone to be her Master.
Roy nodded.
"Of course. But..."
"But what...?" Medea asked nervously.
"Instead of being my Master, would you like to be my servant?"
"Servant?" Medea blushed. The word conjured up certain images in her mind.
"Yes," she agreed without hesitation.
Roy smirked and performed the Devil transformation ritual.
Soon—the ritual was complete.
Medea, now a Devil, couldn't believe it.
She had a real body now.
And her magical energy was overflowing. She didn't need a Master to stay in this world.
It was the perfect body.
Medea was overjoyed.
"Roy, what is this...?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
Roy patiently answered her questions.
"Medea, now that you're my servant, come home with me."
"Home—yes!"
It had been a long time since Medea had heard that word.
She smiled happily.
Roy gently stroked her blue hair, then opened a magic circle and vanished with her.
They reappeared in a living room.
