[Defeated Artoria Pendragon Alter, Reward Skill Magic Power Emission: A]
[Defeated Gilgamesh (Black), Reward Skill King's Treasure: E]
[Defeated Hundred-Faced Hassan-i Sabbah, Reward Skill Librarian of Stored Knowledge: C]
So… Black Gilgamesh also counts as a Servant.
And an empty King's Treasure… turns out it's E?
Also, Hundred-Faced Hassan is indeed the weakest; his skill is also the most useless.
Takatsuki had no idea what Librarian of Stored Knowledge was, because he had never learned about such obscure things. Only after checking his skill bar did he realize that this thing was about gaining knowledge and information by analyzing and recreating the past, and it also seemed to require a luck check, a bit metaphysical, especially since this skill was originally based on Hundred-Faced Hassan's multiple personalities.
In Takatsuki's hands, it was practically useless, even less effective than Eagle Eye.
The other skills were old acquaintances. The EX-ranked Collector looked impressive, but in reality, it was just so-so; it allowed him to distinguish and collect better quality items, leaning towards luck in terms of collection.
As for Magic Power Emission…
Takatsuki looked at Durandal, who was beside him with her back to him, wrapped in a bedsheet.
The skill rewards were given to the killer, so the skills dropped by Artoria and Lancelot were naturally on Durandal.
It was a bit of a pity that Diarmuid wasn't killed by her; he disappeared because he lost his Master, and his Master was killed by Kiritsugu, so no matter how you calculated it, it wouldn't count towards her.
"That…" After looking at his gains, Takatsuki quietly spoke to Durandal, who had her back to him: "Bianka…"
Takatsuki clearly saw her body tremble.
The two of them had woken up embracing each other in the large pit, completely naked. The bedsheets on them now were projected by Takatsuki.
Actually, he could project clothes, and he even knew her exact size, but he just felt…
It felt a bit inappropriate.
He remembered the dream experience very clearly, and he assumed Durandal did too.
But Takatsuki didn't know why the Greater Grail would make them have such a dream?
And when he woke up, he found that the quest was completed, which meant that the Greater Grail had been destroyed.
The Greater Grail committed suicide for no reason?
"What is it…"
After a moment of silence, Durandal finally spoke. From her voice, it was clear that she was also a bit nervous, her voice trembling slightly.
She slowly turned around, her sky-blue eyes fixed on Takatsuki, and she softly uttered three words: "My dear."
"Ah, that…" Takatsuki, startled by Durandal's sudden three words, was stunned for a moment before reacting, "No, Bianka, no, Durandal, that was just a dream…"
Before Takatsuki could finish speaking, he saw a glimmering sharp blade pressed against his neck.
"Are you trying to deny it?!"
Durandal said through gritted teeth.
"That… no, I…"
Takatsuki didn't know what to say at this moment; he didn't even dare to move.
"But, Durandal, I already have a fiancée."
Even facing the sharp blade, Takatsuki still said this as if courting death. Of course, it wasn't because he relied on his Dog Talisman and wasn't afraid of death, but because he didn't want to deceive the other party in such a situation.
"Who!"
"Mei; actually, I've already proposed to her."
Durandal's eyelids drooped slightly, and she looked at Takatsuki with a cold face: "We are already married."
"No, that was…"
"We even have a child."
"But, the dream…"
"We've already done that!"
The last sentence was almost gritted out: "It wasn't a dream!"
Takatsuki's body trembled as he realized the meaning of Durandal's words.
"I'll take responsibility!"
Takatsuki's words slightly eased Durandal's emotions. She sheathed her sword and planted it on the ground: "Then what do you intend to do?"
"That… I."
Although he had decided to take responsibility, Takatsuki didn't know exactly how to do it. Could it only be? Playing both sides?
"Did you and she… do that?"
Takatsuki nodded.
Durandal sighed: "Most Valkyries have short lifespans. Those who live past 25 are already considered long-lived, and most don't actually start families because everyone is resolved to rush to the battlefield against Honkai."
"Originally, I also planned to consider such matters after defeating Honkai, but now that things have come to this."
Durandal looked at Takatsuki, her pretty face slightly flushed, and said, "As long as you are willing to take on this responsibility, that is enough."
"Huh?"
Takatsuki still hadn't understood Durandal's meaning, but the girl seemed to have no intention of explaining further. Instead, she changed the subject: "You are currently living at St. Freya Academy, correct?"
Takatsuki nodded, and Durandal wrapped the bedsheet around herself: "I haven't seen Aunt Theresa in a long time either."
"Theresa, ah, she's… wait, Aunt!?"
Takatsuki hadn't reacted just now; in his perception, Durandal's Aunt was Theresa, so he didn't react at first, but…
Durandal shouldn't know about this.
Takatsuki looked at Durandal, who clearly did this on purpose, and seeing the smile on the girl's face, he asked: "Bianka, have you recovered your memories?"
"Yes, during the battle earlier, due to the stimulation of the Command Spell, my memories also returned." However, after saying that, Durandal showed a somewhat puzzled expression: "But at that time, that memory felt like it was sealed by something. If it weren't for the power of the Command Spell, it would have been impossible to break through. You know the reason, right?"
Hearing Durandal's words, Takatsuki naturally knew the reason. In the original work, Durandal did not recover her memories; she only saw the records left by the Kaslana Stigmata in the Stigmata Space.
She merely saw records related to herself from a third-person perspective.
"About that, I do know. It's quite a long story. Let's leave this place first."
It was indeed inappropriate to discuss this at the bottom of the Greater Grail. Durandal also agreed to the suggestion, and just as Takatsuki opened a passage directly connected to the Matou Residence, a figure appeared behind him.
