Chapter 18: EMIYA's Resolve

"That was fun"

Lucias said causing all of them to look at his direction with a frown on their faces.

"Do you think this is game?"

Rias asked in a dissatisfied tone as she stared at his direction.

"Honestly... This will be a one sided game for Riser, if you fight him with your current strengths"

"Don't underestimate us"

"I'm not underestimating you... I'm just telling you the truth. Even though your servants all have a unique power inside their body... They lack training in both techniques and proper utilisation of their ability"

Lucias revealed causing all of them to grit their teeth with a frown on their faces from how blunt he with his comments.

"If that's all then I wish you all a good luck and see you tomorrow. Don't worry I'll be sure to attend and watch this match of your, Gremory"

Lucias said as he tried to stand up from the sofa but was stopped by Koneko who held his coat with her right hand, staring at his eyes without any expression on her face.

"What is it, Koneko?"

Lucias asked as he looked at the nekoshou who was stopping him from leaving the clubroom.

"Please train us"

Koneko said while gripping his coat causing Lucias to gaze at the other devils inside the room.

"... I don't think I can do anything to train you devils... if you don't even know how to accept the power given to you"

He said before gazing at Akeno causing her to jolt as she gazed at him with an anxious expression on her face. Anxious whether or not he knows her real identity.

"Honestly, the mental state of your peerage is quite unstable, Gremory. If you don't fix that problem then, it's going to be hard for them to improve their strength"

Lucias honestly answered causing Rias to frown as she clenched her hands, staring directly at his golden eyes.

"... Please?"

"I can't"

"Please?"

Koneko pleaded as she tugged his coat causing him to helpless gaze, knowing that her stubborn sister-in-law will not give up no matter what.

"*Sigh*... fine but... don't blame me for my harsh training methods"

Lucias said while patting Koneko's head with a helpless smile on his face as he gazed at Rias who was standing next to the sofa.

" I don't want to clean up the mess you made, Gremory. That's why talk to them and fix it yourself"

Lucias advised as Grayfia suddenly came closer to him, bowing her head in gratitude for agreeing to train them.

"Thank you, Lucias-sama. I'll relay this debt to Sirzech-sama once I get back"

Grayfia stated in gratitude before creating a teleportation magic circle below her feet connecting to the Gremory Clan residents.

"I don't need his debt, I did this because I wanted to so don't relay anything to him, Lucifuge"

Lucias says in a deep voice as Grayfia teleported back to the underworld, leaving Lucias alone with Rias and her peerage.

"I'll be the one to decided where the venue will take place, all you have to do is prepare yourselves for tomorrow. I want all of you to arrive at exactly 6 am. Am I clear?"

"Yes"

Koneko nodded her head in response causing Lucias to unconsciously smile at her before turning to leave the clubroom.

"I hope you don't disappoint me, princess"

Timeskip

"We're going on a trip for tomorrow and in the next 10 days so everyone prepare your luggage"

Lucias shouted as soon as he entered the mansion causing a large stir among the girls for the sudden change in plans.

"Why so suddenly?"

Asia asked while titling her head as she walked closer to Lucias.

"We're going to train Gremory's Peerage starting tomorrow up until... next Saturday"

Lucias answered as he sat down on the sofa causing the girls to look at him in shock especially both Shuri and Kuroka who just came downstairs from hearing the commotion.

"You agreed?"

Asia asked as she sat down next to him, staring at him with curiosity, knowing that he isn't the type of person to just help a member of the Gremory Clan without any reason.

"Yeah, let's just say that I'm doing this to help an old friend of mine"

Lucias said as Cerberus pounced on him to welcome him home.

"Old friend? You mean Lord Phenex?"

Asia asked remembering the weird friendship between him and Lord Phenex that all started when Lucias pummeled his son for insulting her while they were in the underworld 3 years ago.

"Yes, his son is engaged to Rias Gremory and he wants to break the engagement but can't due to his responsibilities as a heir... That is until now when he is given the chance to break the engagement through a rating game"

Lucias explained causing Asia to nod in understanding while both Iris and Shuri sat down on the sofa on the opposite side of the glass table.

"Are you really planning on helping them, Lucias?"

Iris asked without any expression on her beautiful face as a familiar fallen angel suddenly came to their table and placed a cup of coffee in front of them.

"Please enjoy"

The fallen angel said before returning back to the kitchen while Lucias stared at her in shock before gazing at Iris who was smiling happily on her seat.

"Why is she still alive?"

"Oh, we revived her since according to Nia, she was just ordered by another fallen angel to commit the act, but... the fallen angels who attacked Asia from before were disposed of because I know... you won't forgive them even if they were forced to do such acts"

Iris explained as she took a sip of the hot coffee on the table with a patient expression on her face while Shuri held her cheek as she glanced at his direction.

"So... Who is this figure of you speak of?"

"Kokabiel a cadre of the fallen angels, don't worry Governor is not involved with this case and he is now doing a background check on the incident to decide what actions to take to fix this mess"

"Kokabiel, huh? Where is he now exactly?"

Lucias asked while tapping his fingers on the glass table in front of him with an ominous smile on his face.

"... We don't know, the last time Nia located him was in Kyoto, but he suddenly disappeared after together with several priest and fallen angels"

Iris reported with a frown on her face from failing on locating the person that tried to harm Asia, just to obtained her sacred gear.

"... I hope he doesn't show his face in front of me, or else... I'll make him experience suffering that is even worst than death"

Lucias muttered with a displeased expression on his face before drinking the coffee on the mug to try and calm himself down.

"Now then, mind answering my question from before?"

Iris said with a gentle smile on her face as she stared at Lucias, waiting for his answer.

"Hmm... What was that question again, oh!... Of course I'm planning on helping them, they helped me quite a lot for finding a gift for my daughters"

Lucias said causing the girls around him to freeze from their spot from hearing the word 'daughter' coming out of his mouth.

"... Can you repeat that, Lucias?"

Asia asked while gripping his arm with all of her strength as an ominous aura came out of her body.

"Ara Ara, it's the first time I heard about your daughters, Lu-ci-as-sa-n"

Kurumi who teleported behind him said with extreme killing intent causing him to shiver from fear in his seat.

"Master~ I want to hear the details about this daughters of yours~"

"Me too, Onii-san"

Lily and Flandre came closer to him before being pulled inside the large bedroom along with the other girls who was staring at him with a cold expression on their faces.

"Uh... I can explain..."

"I want you to explain everything~ Lucias, inside our bedroom~" (Ingvild)

"W-WAIT!! CALM DOWN! IRIS, SHURI HELP ME!!"

Lucias screamed in desperation as gripped the stairs, pleading to the two women looking at him with a gentle smile on their faces.

"Have fun, Lucias"

"Ara Ara"

"H-HEL-"

Lucias screamed in desperation before being pulled inside the largest bedroom in the mansion together with all of the girls of the mansion.

"Good Luck, Master"

EMIYA who just came inside the mansion together with Seraphim commented as he watched his master being pulled inside the bedroom.

"... Shouldn't we help him?"

Seraphim asked as she sat down next to the 2 women on the sofa.

"... None of us can't beat them, especially when both Ophis and Great Red are joining the fray"

Iris answered while glancing at the door of his bedroom with pity visible in her eyes.

"I pray for your safety, Lucias"

Timeskip

"... I almost died"

Lucias muttered with fear in his voice as he gazed at the unconscious girls on the ground due to the help of the 'creator' knocking them out in his request.

"For them to be so desperate to have your child... How relatable"

"Hanna will have many sisters in the future?!"

"Yes, Hanna, you'll have a lot of siblings in the future"

"Yay!!"

'... This is going to take a lot of work to make them ALL pregnant'

"If you can impregnate an Origin such as I, then impregnating all of them will be easy for you, Lucias... at least most of them"

"Papa make Hanna more sisters and brothers!"

Lucias tiredly sighed as he heard his daughter's wish, but he needed to improve the strength of Asia, Lily, Elmenhilde, Valerie, and Bell to impregnate them which will take quite a while even if they grind the instant dungeon of 1 month straight since none of them have his growth amplifier skill... except Bell.

"Well, that aside, we have successfully pulled Rin Tohsaka put of dimension C102. Just prepare a convincing lie to make her stay inside this dimension"

"That was fast"

"This is nothing more than a small feat for us, Lucias"

The 'creator' said as Lucias left the room to go downstairs and find a good spot to summon Rin Tohsaka inside their dimension.

"Master"

EMIYA who appeared behind him greeted, wondering why he is still awake in this time of the night.

"EMIYA... I will summon someone from your previous dimension so... take care of her"

"Someone from my dimension?"

EMIYA asked with a confused expression on his face before feeling an incredible concentration of magic in front of him causing him to immediately turn his head and saw Lucias who was standing in front a large rift in the space in front of him, destroying all nearby matter from the extreme power contained within the portal.

"Master!!"

EMIYA shouted as he tried to pull Lucias away from the rift in space to keep him out of danger but froze when he saw a familiar figure of a woman come out of the rift in space.

A young woman with aqua eyes and long wavy black hair in a two-side-up hairstyle, which consists of part of her being made into twin tails tied with black ribbons wearing a red turtleneck sweater and a short black skirt came out of the powerful rift in space.

"Rin..."

EMIYA muttered in surprise as he stared at the woman who fell out of the portal.

"Emiya, please take care of her until she gets used into living in this dimension"

Lucias muttered as he catched Tohsaka's unconcious body in his arms before passing it to EMIYA who was staring at her in a daze.

"EMIYA... I told you before, I'll help you fulfill your wishes, even though you didn't tell me about this... I know that she is the woman that you always wished to live your life with... That's why, fulfill your desire that you threw away in the past when you made the contract with Alaya to save thousands of lives back in your dimension"

Lucias patted his shoulder with a genuine smile on his face, 

"I know your ideals of saving everyone has been broken when you lived your life as a counter guardian, being my subordinate is equal to submitting to that life but what were killing are not humans but... supernatural beings"

Lucias muttered before healing Tohsaka from the side effects of brought by transporting a normal human using a rift in space, staring at EMIYA with a serious expression on his face.

"You are now free to do what you want EMIYA, and live the life that you always wanted with this woman... be happy... because you deserved it"

"Master..."

EMIYA muttered as he gripped her fragile body in his arms while small droplets of tears came out of the corner of his eyes from hearing the words that he always wanted to hear for the eons that he has lived, continuously killing millions of humans be it if they're innocent or not to save humanity from killing itself.

"... Thank you"

EMIYA said with extreme gratitude in his voice as his tears dropped on Tohsaka's unconscious body before looking at him with a resolute expression on his face.

"I will always be your servant, Master. I swear upon my name"
