At the age of 6, Fujino's life underwent a world-shaking transformation. Her innate ability, along with her bone-deep sense of pain, vanished without a trace.
In the eyes of the world, she became a child who couldn't feel pain, but the truth was far more complex. In reality, the culprit behind this was her stepfather, Kozo Asagami. After Fujino developed transverse myelitis, Kozo—driven by his own selfish desires—calculatedly pressured doctors into prescribing her painkillers. This medication didn't just numb Fujino's senses, it deeply sealed away her abilities. However, it was precisely this sealed state that allowed Fujino's power to silently accumulate, growing stronger day by day.
"She carries the blood of the Asagami clan and has awakened their ancestral Mystic Eyes. These eyes kill by twisting space in a dual-eye spiral—the left eye rotates left, the right rotates right—allowing her to distort anything she sees. If she activates both rotation axes on a single object, she can snap it at the intersection. The principle is just like Taiji generating the Two Forms (Yin and Yang), conversely, it is the method of using the 'Two Forms dying into Taiji' to reach the Root.
We simply need to ignite a thirst for slaughter within Fujino Asagami, driving her to use her Spiral Mystic Eyes to create death. Perhaps we can reach the Root through her!
According to my investigation, her home life is abysmal. Because her mother remarried into a branch family that knows nothing of magecraft, her stepfather lives in fear of her eyes. He drugs her to deprive her of her sense of touch so she won't trigger her Mystic Eyes due to external stimuli. Though the fool doesn't realize a girl can learn to control that power as she grows, his ignorance is our opportunity.
Because of her long-term 'abnormality,' her heart is twisted, she feels like a monster incompatible with society. However, this level of distortion is not enough. We must accelerate the process! She has already been crushed by her family, next, she must suffer the bitterness of school bullying until she completely breaks. We must force her to kill. Once she does, she will fall in love with the sensation of slaughter, for people with twisted hearts feel nothing for the world anyway. Only a sense of immorality can provide them with a thrill—making them believe that only in such moments are they truly alive."
"So, I'm leaving this mission to you while I continue to watch the Ogawa Apartments!"
"No problem! Bullying girls is what I do best!" Haruka Kasugano chuckled mischievously.
And so, Haruka Kasugano accepted the mission to further twist Fujino Asagami's psyche. However, since it was nearing the 1998 New Year and spring break hadn't started yet, Haruka Kasugano could only visit on weekends. He decided to handle Fujino's matter the following week.
First, he returned to Fuyuki.
After more than a year of "psychological softening," Maiya Hisau had completely transformed into a little princess. Under Haruka Kasugano's greenhouse protection—wearing beautiful dresses every day, being taken to high-end salons by Circe for immersive top-tier spa treatments—her skin had become incredibly delicate. The calluses formed from years of war had been softened and removed, leaving only fresh, tender skin. At Haruka Kasugano's request, she had grown her hair long. Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, she could no longer recognize the woman staring back.
She was as beautiful as a celestial being.
"Is this really me... I never thought I could be pampered like this..." Maiya stroked the mirror, sighing as she looked at her charming, makeup-clad reflection.
Just then, Haruka Kasugano arrived. Having been preoccupied with doting on Kirie Fujou lately, he hadn't visited in a while. The moment Maiya saw Haruka Kasugano coming down the stairs, a blush crept over her face. Her mindset had shifted. No girl dislikes being pampered and cared for, and the first person in the world to treat her this way was the man before her. She had sunk deep into his care, she couldn't leave the paradise he built for her.
The moment Haruka Kasugano reached the floor, Maiya habitually walked over and knelt before him, her soft, tender knees touching the ground. She used her slender, jade-like hands—now adorned with delicate pink nail polish—to lightly touch the floor.
"Ah... mmm~!" Maiya opened her mouth, now wearing bright red lipstick.
One billion milk— (Slang for a specific intimate act)
Seeing Maiya so eager and proactive, Haruka Kasugano couldn't help but praise her: "Wonderful, you've learned not to use your teeth!"
"Mmm~!" Maiya gave a small smile.
Seeing her cheerful face, Haruka Kasugano knew his plan was a success. If Maiya loved Kiritsugu Emiya before because he "saved" her, Kiritsugu had merely moved her from hell to a battlefield. Haruka Kasugano, however, had moved her from the battlefield to heaven. A girl's heart is made of water, if you nurture it with care, they cannot help but fall. Compared to Kiritsugu's methods, Haruka Kasugano's were clearly more addictive.

"Ah..." Maiya thoroughly enjoyed the "milk in the straw." "Haruka Kasugano, you..."
"How should you address me? From now on, call me Master!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
"You're so bad... Master! Can you let me leave this place? I promise to be your woman wholeheartedly, I won't run away..." Maiya pleaded.
"Deal!" Haruka Kasugano smiled.
First, he had Maiya put on a sexy evening gown and took her for a stroll in the city center. She clung to his arm, walking in high heels through the surging crowds.
"Wow, she's so pretty~!"
"Man, I'm so jealous of him..."
"Is she an idol or a movie star?"
The praise from passersby made Maiya incredibly shy but happy. Every girl has a streak of vanity, she couldn't help but be delighted by the compliments. In the past, people only shunned her for her fierce appearance. This change... was all because of Haruka Kasugano's care!
[Ding! Maiya Hisau feels very happy. Infidelity Progress +20%!]
Hehe, as expected, Maiya had completely fallen in love with this feeling. Her progress had reached 80%! It was time for her to meet Irisviel.
After a two-hour date in the city, Haruka Kasugano brought her to his home that evening. Since he was wealthy now, he had purchased a massive villa in Fuyuki. There were plenty of rooms to "raise" his many daughters. Saber Alter, Irisviel, and Circe all lived comfortably here.
When Maiya entered, she was stunned by the luxury. "I'm going to live in such a beautiful place from now on?"
"Yes, but you won't be alone. You'll have sisters to keep you company!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
"Is it that beautiful lady?" Maiya knew about Circe and didn't mind.
"More than just her. Look!" Haruka Kasugano pointed toward the pool, where Irisviel was sunbathing in a swimsuit.
"Mistress!" Maiya cried out in shock.
Irisviel lazily took off her sunglasses and looked up. "Maiya?" She leaped from her chair, and the two embraced, holding hands in pure joy.
"Mistress, you're okay! I missed you so much!" Maiya wept with joy. During the Holy Grail War, Irisviel had appeared half-dead and was eventually taken away, which had worried Maiya deeply. Nearly two years had passed, and Maiya knew the war was over. She had spoken with Irisviel before the kidnapping and knew she was meant to become the Grail. Seeing her alive and well now was an indescribable joy.
"I'm fine... Haruka Kasugano saved me. Thanks to him, I'm no different from a real human now! I'm very happy~!" Irisviel laughed.
"Does that mean... Mistress, you..." Maiya paused.
"Yes, I'm already Haruka Kasugano's wife!" Irisviel giggled. "And it looks like... you are too?"
"Mmm..." Maiya looked back at Haruka Kasugano, her cheeks puffing out in mock anger. Didn't you promise not to touch Irisviel? You big scoundrel!
However, she didn't really care anymore. Serving her beloved man alongside a woman she knew and trusted actually felt like a blessing. "Mistress, I'll continue to be your bodyguard from now on!" Maiya smiled.
"Hahaha!" Irisviel cheered. "Maiya, I thought you were dead... I'm so grateful to Haruka Kasugano!"
[Ding! Maiya Hisau Infidelity Progress +10%!]
[Ding! Irisviel Infidelity Progress +10%!]
Hehehe. Perfect! Haruka Kasugano watched them warmly. Maiya was now at 90%, and Irisviel reached 80%!
[Ding! Merging 60% Infidelity Progress. Reward granted!]
[Congratulations! Host has obtained new skill: 'Clairvoyance (Dark) C++'! Grants the Host the magical ability of 'X-ray vision'! Specifically, the Host's Mystic Eyes now have penetrative capabilities!]
Huh? Magical X-ray vision? Basically, it lets my prana penetrate objects! But it's limited to use with Mystic Eyes... and I don't have Mystic Eyes yet! Can this system be a bit more reliable?
The system remained silent. Haruka Kasugano could only sigh. Just then, Circe flew down from the second floor.
"Piglet! The little sleeping loli upstairs seems to be waking up! Go take a look!"
Yo! Is Melusine finally waking up? Haruka Kasugano rushed to the second-floor bedroom. Upon opening the door, he saw the smooth and tender Melusine tossing and turning restlessly, looking exactly like a teenage girl with a bad case of "morning grumpiness."

Haruka Kasugano sat quietly by Melusine's bedside, waiting for her to wake up.
