Chapter 14 - Finding Sirin A New Friend

(Damn this side fic I made coz I'm burnt out on the main one is more popular than I realized. 100k+ view and 600+ follow in just the span of 2 days.)

On a random day, our cat MC, who is secretly a 12th Dimensional Eldritch God, felt bored once again and decided to set off to find another exotic flower to be added to his garden.

But to be real, Sirin was kinda lonely when Asia went to school. I asked her if she wanted to also be admitted to school but she said no and developed interest in playing games instead.

So, here we are again. Wandering worlds in search of a more naive girl to trick into selling her soul to a definitely not suspicious talking black cat.

Anyway, enough with the narrative. Let's focus on the present.

Ray returned again to the very first world he stumbled upon, the dreaded Fate world of Nasuverse.

"That damn author must really want her to be saved that badly. I mean at this point it's kinda overused. Just look how many fics are out there with mc saving Sakura from Zouken? A lot!" The black cat grumbles while perching on a tree branch overlooking an ancient and creepy looking mansion.

The cat suddenly turned his head around and looked at the sky where he sensed a presence.

"Well, at least she got that milf body when she grew up. There's some condolence prize to get at least." The cat mumbles to himself while waiting for the creepy old man, which in reality is just a bunch of disgusting worms wearing human skin, to walk out from his worm pit.

Several minutes later, the old man did walk out from the worm pit and behind him is a purple haired girl with a blank expression and a pair of dead eyes trailing behind.

He did nothing and continued to wait until the girl was sent back to her room. Only then did he act and slip into her room undetectable using his shadow like a portal.

"Welp, time to get to work."

———

Sakura Matou, a girl with a very pitiful life. From being sold away by her own father to being violated by disgusting bugs controlled by a creepy old fossil and having to share a body with literal Evil God, Angra Mainyu.

In short, her life is nothing but constant misery lately that she simply gave up on life and accepted everything thrown her way.

On that fateful day, she remembered she had just finished another 'training' in the worm pit when I noticed a black cat was hiding under my bed.

Because of my situation, I have no friends or any companionship. Animals are the only ones I can turn to. I once befriended a stray dog that sometimes visits the mansion. But when Grandpa Zouken sees it, he orders the bugs to eat the dogs alive in front of my eyes to show me the price of my disobedience.

From there, I become lonely again and my life returns to the monotonous schedule of eating, training and sleeping.

But when I discovered the cat, my life brightened up once more. Maybe… maybe I will not suffer this loneliness again. As long as Grandpa Zouken never knew about this cat, I should be fine.

"Hello Mr Cat. Do you want to be my friend?" I asked with a rare smile that I felt like I had forgotten.

"Meow!"

"Shhh!" I panicked and quickly tried to hide the cat underneath the bed in fear the bugs would hear the cat. However, after a while. Grandpa Zouken never came.

I sighed in relief and quickly checked under the bed to find the cat again. But he suddenly disappeared.

"Mr Cat! Where did you go?" I tried to call out the cat with a hushed whisper.

"Meow?"

My head jerked when I heard the cat and looked at my bed to find the cat was rolling on my sleeping pillow and lazily stretching his body.

"It's nothing, Mr Cat. But please keep the noise down. We don't want Grandpa Zouken to find out about this. Okay?"

The cat nodded in response as if he understood my words. But I didn't care. I was feeling too happy to finally have a friend to play and spend time with.

When we are done playing. I lay on my bed and hugged the cat on my chest as I talked out all the sadness, loneliness and frustration that I had been keeping to myself.

"You know, Mr Cat. I always wished there would be a hero, a knight on a horse would come and save me from this place. Mama told me they will always rescue a princess in need. Daddy… he always says I'm a princess. So, I hope the knight will come and save me. I… I am afraid. I don't want to train in the worm pit anymore. It feels disgusting when they crawl into my mouth, nose, ears and the other holes to lay eggs inside me and crawl out again." I cried out with muffled sobs as the cat listened. I don't think he will understand though. But being there is enough for me.

"Do you think the knight wouldn't save me because I am dirty now? Grandpa Zouken uses my body to hatch more of the disgusting bugs. That's why the knight wouldn't save me. Because the princess will become his bride and get married with the knight. But my body is disgusting, that's why the knight wouldn't come save me." I said with a sorrowful smile to hide away the aching pain across my body.

I know why. I know the real reason why no one would save me. Not Rin, not Mama or Uncle Kariya. It's because Grandpa Zouken is a very strong mage and I am his tool. It's something Grandpa made very clear since the first day I arrived here.

But I still want to relish the little wish I have to be saved. To be pulled out from this hell. I need strength that can defeat Grandpa Zouken. But I am weak. I am just a helpless little girl. That's why I need a powerful hero that can save me. The knight in shining armor to pull me away from this den of evil.

I close my eyes feeling exhausted and sleepy. The reassuring presence of the cat made me feel warm for once and immediately I could already feel drowsy. But I suddenly heard someone talking to me.

"I had heard your wish, Sakura Matou. However, are you willing to sell your soul to have your wish granted?" The voice asked me.

Selling my soul? Could it be a devil? But honestly, she didn't care if it's a devil or something even worse. As long as she can be saved from this hell, there is nothing she is unwilling to give away.

"Yes." I replied while still feeling drowsy and unable to open the heavy lids of my eyes.

"Then let's seal our pact. Go on and sleep, my child. By the time you wake up. Everything will feel just like a bad nightmare." The reassuring voice was like daddy's voice comforting me to sleep when I am afraid at night. My mind then blacked out.

———

With Ray, he sit on the edge of the bed with a cigarette hanging on his lips.

"Haah, I didn't feel like saving her before. But after hearing everything she said. I don't think destroying this world is enough to douse my anger." He took another long drag and exhaled before tapping the hanging ashes which fell to the ground.

"No, maybe I should gather all the Zouken's across all timelines and give them a taste of eldritch horror mind break therapy before killing them." I contemplated my options until I finished the cigarette which magically disappeared afterward.

"Yeah, let's go with that." I mutter before going to work. But halfway through it, the pesky Counter Force sent their loyal mutt on my ass.

Without even saying anything. Archer Emiya unleashed hundreds of noble phantasms at me with the support of Counter Force. But honestly, even Excalibur can give me a tickle. Why does he think those fancy toothpicks can hurt me?

Anyway, with a wave of my paw. My shadow poured out and instantly covered the entire city before hundreds upon thousands of tentacles shot at him like guided missiles and he didn't even have a chance to run as he was easily captured and wrapped up tightly leaving only his head exposed.

"Now listen here Counter Guardian Shirou Emiya. I will say this once and only once. I am here to do charity work. You bitchy little boss, Alaya should be grateful I'm helping you all remove the potential candidate of true Beast VII free of charge and also that evil bastard Zouken. So, for the love of whichever god you believe in. Please don't make this any more difficult than it already is before I descend with my true body and shatter this reality and burn all the existing timelines, Alaya and Gaia into Fucking Ether ashes. Capiche? Good. Now, go murder your younger self or something to keep yourself occupied and don't interrupt me."

Emiya could only nod at the very real threat given by the Outer God disguised as a cat and watch how the cat conjures a cigarette and lighter before lighting it up and taking a deep puff before he exhales.

Considering he get a green light from the definitely scared shitless Alaya, Emiya could only compliantly step aside and keep watch of the Outer God as he make numerous Zouken or Zolgen Makiri appeared and form a gigantic ball of floating Zolgen and torture each and everyone of them mentally before physical until they all are absolutely shattered mind and body. All while he had a cigarette hanging by his lips making the cat look like an overworked manual labor worker dealing with yet another weekend deadline.

After killing all the Zoukens, the cat picks up a purple haired girl that Emiya vaguely remembers is the younger Sakura with him and leaves.
