Chapter 330

"Then, Father, I'm off!"

Packing a few changes of clothes — though to put it bluntly they were just a few identical church nun habits — Karen bid farewell to her father and headed for the Fujimura home, embracing the thought of avenging him.

"I should go fetch some red wine to celebrate as well."

After seeing his daughter off, Kirei Kotomine murmured softly to himself; he turned on the record player, played a cheerful serenade, went to the wine cellar entrance, and descended the stairs using his assist cane — although coming up had been a wretched affair, crawling up the stairs bit by bit — he had at least brought out the red wine he had treasured for many years.

"So much dust; think about it, ever since Father passed away the cellar hasn't been opened, and now three years have gone by; with these three years of extra aging, the wine's flavor should be even better."

Uncorking, pouring, swirling the glass — although Kirei Kotomine hadn't drunk alcohol in many years, the decanting technique he learned from the King of Heroes had not grown rusty.

"A touch of sourness, but this sourness is just right; life ought to have its sourness……"

Recalling how his late father had once run everywhere for his crippled self before his death, and sought the Holy Shroud of Magdalene for his daughter who had awakened a Spirit Medium Constitution, the Priest's heart at this moment unexpectedly surged with an inexplicable soreness.

【This is probably what longing for a departed loved one feels like……】

Just as he was thinking this, his stomach suddenly cramped in pain, emitting a gurgle-gurgle sound.

"What's going on?"

Kirei Kotomine's complexion changed; he clutched his abdomen.

"Is there something wrong with this wine?"

He snapped his gaze toward the red wine, endured the pain to pick it up and inspect it, and discovered it was a bottle that hadn't been finished, re-corked and sealed away.

Dust-sealed memories came back: seven years ago, the King of Heroes would always come here and steal his father's treasured fine wines.

And every time he couldn't finish it, the King of Heroes would say that wine of this degree, while not bad, still hadn't qualified to enter his Treasury, so each time he would re-seal the unfinished wine with its cork, hand it to him to store away, and drink it next time he came over……

Kirei Kotomine's face darkened somewhat.

"Karen……"

He called his daughter's name, then realized she had already left just now.

"Toilet～"

He crawled toward the toilet, but for a cripple like him it was a distant distance.

"Pfft～"

Tonight's Fuyuki Church was destined to be rather fragrant; Father Kotomine, eyes brimming with hot tears, cleaned up alone all night.

On the other side, Karen had already arrived at the Fujimura home.

"Little Sakura-nee, I'm here."

The little nun pressed the doorbell and shouted toward the inside of the mansion.

"Hey, stop blocking the doorway, move aside for me."

Karen (Ilya) happened to be carrying bedding from inside the house at that moment.

After shoving the white-haired little nun at the doorway aside, she directly opened the door.

Acting like she was returning to her own home, she entered the mansion unceremoniously.

"Alright, Karen-chan, come with me."

Little Sakura ran out at this time to welcome the little nun, directly leading her toward her own room.

"You'll sleep here tonight."

Little Sakura's room had already been tidied up; the solid wood low table originally placed in the middle had been moved out, clearing space so the futon could be laid out larger.

"I'm sharing a room with her?"

Karen watched Karen (Ilya) organizing the bedding she had brought over, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and ask.

"Not sharing a room with Karen (Ilya)-nee, but all of us sleeping in one room together."

Little Sakura explained.

"What, sharing a room with me grieves you? If you're unwilling to sleep, you can go lay a futon in another room, but when the time comes don't say we won without merit."

Karen (Ilya) stood on the pink bedding, hands stuck at her little waist, a dissatisfied look on her face as she rudely addressed the white-haired little nun at the doorway.

"Sleeping together can enhance our mutual relationship, deepen our mutual understanding; of course, you can sleep on my side at night, Karen (Ilya) and Little Sakura on the other side."

Rin Tohsaka stepped in to smooth things over, then saw the white-haired little nun's face reveal a disgusted expression.

"That expression of yours — do you have some dissatisfaction?"

She raised an eyebrow and asked.

"China has an old saying: 'Near vermilion one turns red, near ink one turns black'; sleeping together with you, I'm afraid I'll grow up overnight, so if we're sleeping in one room, I'll sleep on Little Sakura-nee's side too."

Karen said it directly, and immediately her cheek was pinched by the young girl.

"You bastard, don't think I didn't understand — you're insinuating I'm an old woman; there's only a five-year age gap between us!"

"Five years — isn't that age gap still large?"

Karen retorted.

"Karen (Ilya) said you're a smelly little ghost; she really wasn't wrong."

Rin Tohsaka used both hands to pinch.

"Mhm, exactly like that."

Karen (Ilya) nodded at the side, echoing Rin Tohsaka's words.

"This is between me and Aunt Tohsaka; what does it have to do with you, an outsider?"

"You're insinuating me again?"

Rin Tohsaka increased the pinching force on her face.

"If you keep pinching, don't blame me for not respecting my elders and getting physical with you."

"Hah, then go ahead and make a move for me to see!"

Dropping the bundle containing her changes of clothes, the white-haired little nun was quite obedient and directly started moving her hands.

Her hands slid upward, prying apart Rin Tohsaka's hands that were pinching her own cheeks, then her sliding palm turned into a striking palm chopping down, aimed right at the chest of the girl before her — which was not full to begin with.

"You actually hit me, you bastard!"

Rin Tohsaka intercepted with her right hand, gripping the wrist of the Little Nun's incoming palm, then raised her leg to block the Little Nun's calf kicking out from under her nun's habit skirt.

"Of course! Otherwise, did you think I was joking with you?!"

As Karen spoke, she dropped her elbow, forcing Rin Tohsaka to release her wrist and choose to step back to dodge.

"Big Sis Tohsaka, this little brat is too full of herself, beat her up!"

Karen fanned the flames from the side, failing to notice the cunning flash in the white-haired Little Nun's eyes.

"Rin Tohsaka, watch out! I want to see just which of us is more powerful."

As the saying goes, Xiang Zhuang danced his sword with his mind on Pei Gong; the Little Nun threw punches with her mind on Karen.

She swept a leg out; Rin Tohsaka hopped back to dodge, but Karen did not dodge.

Seemingly caught in the crossfire, in reality it was a precise strike — the Little Nun's sweep knocked her down onto the freshly laid bedding.

"Ow, my butt~"

Caught off guard, Karen's butt hurt from the fall; and when she climbed back up, she was knocked down again by the Little Nun's next sweeping leg.

"You bastard, you did that on purpose, didn't you?!"

The Magic Doll girl grew somewhat angry, and questioned the Little Nun who was pursuing Rin Tohsaka over there.

"I'm competing in martial arts with Rin Tohsaka, what's it to you? You got swept down by me, heh, who told you to stand there like a wooden post in the middle of us? Don't you have the sense to get the hell out of the way?!"

Karen had no reply; clutching her little butt she tried to move farther away, but under the Little Nun's intentional collateral influence, she was still caught up by the two fighting with body techniques and knocked down a third time by the Little Nun's sweeping leg.

And at this point, even a blind man could see the Little Nun was doing it on purpose.

"Hey, Karen, don't go too far!"

"Hah, what about it, Auntie Tohsaka? You're the one dodging all over the place, that's why she got caught in the crossfire!"

"Auntie Tohsaka?"

"You bastard, you really think I can't beat you?"

"If you could beat me, would you need to dodge my attacks all over the place?"

Unbearable, no need to endure further.

"Physical Foundation Reinforcement!"

"Ah, you used magecraft to reinforce your body, that's a foul."

"Who told you to push your luck and take a mile when given an inch?!"

Rin Tohsaka directly flipped Karen over, her long leg clamping onto the Little Nun's neck, grabbing the other's hand and applying a classic jujutsu secret technique — the cross armbar.

"Hah, Karen, I've got her pinned. Now, grudges repaid, scores settled!"

Karen looked at the restrained white-haired Little Nun, clenched her small fists, and rushed over.

"Daring to deliberately hurt me, making my butt hurt from the fall, just watch me spank your little butt swollen!"

*Slap slap slap* sounds rang out from the room.

"Stop hitting, if you keep hitting Karen-chan's butt will really get injured!"

Broly came to this side of the room, ready to tell everyone the bathwater was ready, and what he saw was exactly this kind of scene.

Rin Tohsaka held Karen's hand, using her long leg to pin the Little Nun face-down on the ground; Karen sat on the Little Nun's back, her palm striking the Little Nun's perky butt wrapped under the nun's habit skirt as if playing a percussion instrument.

Little Sakura persuaded the two to stop from the side, but Karen and Rin Tohsaka were unwilling, unless the spanked Little Nun gave in and apologized.

And the Little Nun was biting her lip, face flushed red, looking like she was stubbornly resisting.

Karen Ortensia looked just like she was being bullied by her seniors at the Crystal Palace.

But the actual situation was...

Why does my butt feel comfortable being spanked by the daughter of my father's enemy?

Clearly humiliated, but what on earth is this feeling?

【Karen Ortensia, Happiness Value rising】

Looking at the prompt on the Crystal Palace Panel, Broly's expression was somewhat strange; standing at the room's doorway watching the farce unfolding inside, he looked like someone who had just witnessed something incredible and was left somewhat stunned.

"Ah, this, Broly, things aren't what you see, this bastard started it, I was just counterattacking."

Suddenly spotting the boy at the door, Karen's spanking hand froze mid-air; worried the boy would misunderstand and think she was bullying the Little Nun, Karen hurriedly began explaining in a flustered manner.

At this time, Rin Tohsaka also released the cross armbar, stood up somewhat awkwardly and said: "Karen's right, it really was this bastard Karen who started it."

"Wah wah wah..."

On the ground, the white-haired Little Nun cried, her voice choked with tears, saying she was only sparring in martial arts with Rin Tohsaka.

"Big Sis Tohsaka has no martial virtue; clearly it was a martial arts contest, but she actually used magecraft to reinforce her body — not technique but enhanced physique to catch me, then let this bastard Karen spank my butt. Had I known coming here would end like this, I wouldn't have come!"

"Bullshit, clearly you picked a fight with Big Sis Tohsaka on purpose, then deliberately came over to hurt me. Broly, she knocked me down three times in a row with sweeping legs, and my butt still hurts now. Even though I'm a Magic Doll body now, the sensation is the same as a normal person, you have to believe me."

"I didn't hurt her on purpose, clearly this bastard is stupid, standing in the middle like a log."

The white-haired Little Nun denied it flatly; and indeed she hadn't hurt her by accident, because her sweeping leg just now was aimed straight at Karen.

"I think she did it on purpose."

Rin Tohsaka said.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Little Sakura."

Broly looked at Little Sakura.

"I'm not certain whether Karen-chan did it on purpose or not, because her attack movements all looked normal; the sweeping legs only hit Karen-neesan after Big Sis dodged them."

Little Sakura very objectively described the conflict that had just occurred in the room.

"Karen only fell and hurt her butt, but my butt was actually spanked swollen by the two of them teaming up. Broly, you want me to be your wife, so shouldn't you uphold justice for me at a time like this?"

Broly: "..."

Thinking of how the Little Nun's butt had just been spanked, yet her Happiness Value was showing an upward trend, he began to uphold justice.

"Alright then, Karen, you apologize to Illya."

"That's right, you bastard should be the one apologizing to me……"

Karen's words weren't finished before she reacted to what the boy meant, her eyes widening as she looked at Broly.

"Shouldn't it be her apologizing to me? How did it turn into me apologizing to her?"

She demanded an explanation.

"The reason is somewhat complicated to explain, so I'll just ask one thing: when you were being spanked just now, did it feel very comfortable?"

Broly directly retorted.

"Being spanked, how could it possibly……"

*Slap~*

Seeing the white-haired Little Nun preparing to refute, Broly didn't waste words either, landing a slap on her as well.

"Mmph~"

The Little Nun's butt jiggled, a numbing pain like an electric current spreading from the point of impact throughout her whole body.

【Karen, Happiness Value Rising!】

"How about it? Even like this, you still want to deny it?"

"I didn't……"

*Slap~*

Broly completely confirmed that this Reserve Wife might have interests similar to Darkness.

And after a few slaps with measured force, the Little Nun's body began to tremble slightly.

"Things shouldn't have developed like this……"

Karen muttered these words, but her face already wore a somewhat flushed expression.

"So, do you want to admit that being spanked just now felt comfortable? If you admit it, I can spank you one more time."

Karen wanted to deny it, but missing by just that tiny bit, how could she possibly restrain herself and stop at the critical moment.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have intentionally involved you."

She said in a low voice.

"Say the name, who are you apologizing to?"

Broly wouldn't let her gloss over it.

"It's to Illya……"

After making the Little Nun repeat the apology once more, the Saiyan boy finally nodded in satisfaction, the last slap landing.

"Mmph~"

Accompanied by the shame of apologizing to her enemy's daughter, the white-haired Little Nun who had originally come with a heart for revenge now found herself sinking into a 'comfortable' feeling not everyone can understand, her body gradually going limp on the bedding beneath her.

"Illya, do you accept her apology?"

Broly raised his head and asked at this moment.

"Ah, what did you say?"

Illya, on the other hand, was a step slow to realize, only reacting now, her small face also showing a somewhat startled look.

Broly could only ask the girl again whether she forgave the Little Nun.

"Fine, I forgive her, you let her get up quick, don't dirty my blanket."

"Unexpected, so you're this kind of Karen."

Rin Tohsaka's gaze was even more disdainful.

Karen, gradually recovering: "……"

It seems revenge unachieved, she first suffered utter disgrace.

"Don't worry, Karen-chan, everyone's hobbies and interests are different, you needn't feel inferior because of it."

Little Sakura came over to comfort her.

"This is me surrendering to violence, not my true feelings."

"Got it, Big Sis understands you."

Little Sakura wore an 【Ah, your explanation, I'm willing to believe it all】 expression.

"The hot water bath is ready, do you want to go bathe?"

At this time, the boy asked.

"Of course, I'd better hurry and wash up, it's all this guy's fault, making me sweat all over."

After a series of fights, although not the all-out kind, it still made Rin Tohsaka sweat quite a lot.

She took off the thermal silk stockings on her feet right there, and one could see some hot vapor emerging after the stockings were removed.

"What, want to take a sniff?"

Seeing the boy look over, Rin Tohsaka's face reddened slightly, but she boldly lifted her left leg and asked.

"My nose is very sharp, Rin, I've already smelled your feet's scent, it's the smell of sweat, a bit stinky."

Rin Tohsaka: "……"

Even her earlobes red, clutching her black silk stockings, she ran out in a fluster.

"Karen, do you want to go bathe together?"

Regarding this, Broly didn't mind either, looking at the Little Nun and asking.

"I'm not bathing together with others."

Karen refused.

"I smelled your scent too, and just now it seemed like you peed..."

Broly hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Little Sakura.

"Alright, Brother Broly, if Karen-chan doesn't want to bathe then she doesn't have to."

The white-haired little nun's face was already completely red at this point.

Although Karen is young in years, she's precocious, and knows even more.

"Is it not okay if I go bathe, you little pervert, little lecher..."

Leaving these words, Karen also rushed out in a flurry.

"What's going on?"

Broly scratched his head, feeling somewhat inexplicable.

"Brother Broly, girls don't like being told they stink, my sister is the same, and Karen-chan is the same."

"Telling the truth doesn't work either?"

"Doesn't work."

"Then what if I say fragrant?"

"That works."

"Little Sakura..."

"What?"

"You smell very fragrant."

Little Sakura: "..."

Karen: "..."

When the boy looked over, she became nervous.

Without waiting for Broly to say anything, she ran out: "I'm going to bathe."
