A massive roar echoed from the Familiar stationed at the Hyatt Hotel. Akatsuki set down her glass of red wine and leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the person before her who had caught her somewhat by surprise.
"I knew you'd come sooner or later, but isn't this a bit too early? I haven't even finished enjoying this time-travel trip yet."
Standing before her was the creator of Akatsuki's current body and the culprit behind her time travel to the Fourth Holy Grail War timeline—gaia, the planetary consciousness from ten years in this world's future.
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli remained expressionless as ever, but she lowered her head toward Akatsuki in a nearly pleading manner.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Akatsuki frowned. She knew very well how stubborn and prideful this Little Loli was; there was almost nothing in this world that could make her bow and beg for help.
It was precisely for this reason that every mess she caused usually spiraled out of control. Fortunately, her own abilities were top-notch, and since she was one of the targets of Ye Keer's teasing, those incidents always ended safely in the end.
And yet, such a person had actually taken the initiative to come here and bow to her now.
"Please, I beg of you, stop the Proper Human History Incineration and the Planetary Desiccation!"
Akatsuki:?
"Ye Ling, what kind of mess did you screw up this time?"
No matter how refined Akatsuki tried to be, she couldn't keep her composure now. A earth uo had already been successfully born on Earth, and you and alaya were already acquaintances—practically at the point where you just needed to accept their confession—so how could you still warp the world line into FGO?
Hearing Akatsuki call her name, the Black-haired, straight-haired Loli bit her lip.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Ye Ling looked up, her eyes filled with panic and pain. "In the future, because you came to the Fourth Holy Grail War, the 'all the worlds evil' inside Fuyuki City's greater grail was purged. This led to the Fifth Holy Grail War where the old Director directly brought Solomon and completely crushed the Fuyuki City Holy Grail War."
"The future me wouldn't possibly allow the world line to fully enter FGO, at least not let the Proper Human History Incineration happen!"
"But what if you died ten years from now?"
Akatsuki's frown deepened. "I, the grand earth uo, the King of Earth, a soul from the real world (self-proclaimed), am I that easy to kill? Even if another Land of Steel came, I wouldn't die! Now you're telling me I'm dead in ten years?"
"Nothing is impossible. At least, ten years from now, after I sent you into the root, you never came back."
Akatsuki fell silent. Once the Little Loli mentioned the root, the nature of the situation changed. After all, no one knew what the situation inside the root was like. Although she had the ability to enter the root, she wasn't certain she could come out safely.
"Wait, why did you send me into the root?"
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli looked away, seemingly recalling something she felt guilty about, and her voice grew much quieter. "Who told you to spank us? With old and new grudges combined, in a moment of heat, I put my thoughts into practice."
"Who knew that shortly after you entered the Root, I saw a future where she was on the verge of death? Plus, I sensed the establishment of Chaldea, which officially confirmed that the FSN world line had become the FGO world line. The Proper Human History Incineration, Planetary Desiccation, and the descent of the Alien God aren't that harmful to the Earth itself; they mainly target the human order, which is why alaya is near death."
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli was indeed correct. After all, alaya is the counter force of primates, born from the subconscious collective desire of all primates to survive. Since the primary members of primates are humans, and in the FGO world line humans are nearly extinct, it's no wonder alaya is dying.
"Helping you is very simple for me, and avoiding the FGO world line is also easy, but!" Akatsuki's tone shifted. "You must understand that the current me could easily guide the world toward FGO without even entering the Root."
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli's expression stiffened. After a moment of thought, she said, "Do you not care about the lives of Tohsaka Rin and the others anymore?"
"I have my own ways to keep them safe. Whether it's a Singularity or a Lostbelt, I have the confidence to fix them onto the Earth's surface and leave Gudako and the others helpless. Don't forget, I am a hedonist through and through." Akatsuki leaned in, her eyes fixed on the Little Loli. "Right now, your actions don't make me happy, so let's talk about this ten years from now."
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli's face darkened. "No! Once she falls into a near-death state, there's a high probability she'll be overwritten by this world's original alaya. At that point, everything will be over! Even if the final ending of FGO is a happy one, she won't come back!"
Akatsuki smiled, plopped back onto the sofa, and shrugged nonchalantly.
"What will it take for you to help?"
Looking at Akatsuki's mocking gaze, the Black-haired, straight-haired Loli suddenly felt a bit of fear in her heart. Ever since she first laid eyes on that person, her sixth sense had been warning her that this person wasn't like a real human.
Whether it was completing tasks assigned by Ye Keer or being ordered by Ye Keer to wear a maid outfit all the time, that person never blinked. They would even observe every move of the people around them at all times and imitate them, just like a skinwalker.
And now, this'skinwalker' had completely understood humans and integrated into human society.
"I don't understand, I want to kiss."
The corners of Akatsuki's mouth curled up slightly as she looked at the Little Loli with great interest.
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli's eyes widened. After her brain briefly short-circuited, a wave of fury rushed to her head. "What kind of unreasonable request is that!"
Akatsuki maintained her indifferent look. "You wouldn't want the other Little Loli to be replaced by this world's original human order, would you?"
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli looked at this body she had created, feeling very conflicted. But when she remembered that gold-haired idiot in her memories, she forced herself to calm down and steeled her heart.
"First, promise you'll keep your word!"
"Of course, I always do what I say. You've seen that for yourself."
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli took a deep breath and slowly approached Akatsuki. Just as she was about to touch her lips, Akatsuki suddenly pulled her into her arms.
"!?"
An image of the Blonde Loli holding her hand flashed before her eyes, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes. She wanted to struggle but was held tightly by Akatsuki.
"I'm sorry..."
She knew an apology was useless; after all, she had already done such a shameful thing. Even with an apology, the fact could not be changed.
A few minutes later, a satisfied Akatsuki released the Black-haired, straight-haired Loli from her embrace. Having lost her support, the Loli slumped onto the sofa, her cheeks flushed and her eyes brimming with tears.
"You'll take responsibility for me and the child, right?"
Akatsuki:?
"I'll certainly take responsibility, but where is a child coming from? I don't even have the tools for the job, so where would a child come from?"
The Black-haired, straight-haired Loli curled into a ball on the sofa. "Mama said that kissing makes babies."
