Chapter 660: Crossover: Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail (28)

"Just consider it a charity performance, so you can truly taste a glimpse of the caster's power." Yinfu Laolao raised the blade in her hand, and instantly countless memory‑realm memes appeared behind it, encircling the crowd.

"A harmonious song is enough to make every living being willingly dance for me, becoming my familiar. As for you, drown in the syrup."

"That's uncertain."

Saber, appearing beside Xing at an unknown moment, stepped forward to block her: "Fighting with stolen weapons will eventually wound you with the very weapon in hand. If I were you, I wouldn't recklessly wield the power snatched from Miss Yinfu."

"Archer threatened me." Xing Er said nothing else and immediately began to complain.

Archer, also at a loss, hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't—no, is this the time to report to the adults?"

"How dare you steal the play I star in? Bring them all on; who can take them down? The investor will write off Su Le Da for a lifetime!"

Saber, incredulous: "Su Le Da? Two bottles of syrup and you willingly sell your lives to a demon? Where has the dignity of you monsters gone?"

"I'm already an extra; how can I worry about face?" the soda‑loving monkey extra retorted.

"Humans, fairies, even forest monsters—any sentient life has the right to exchange its hands for hope. And the weight of your souls far exceeds the price this employer offers."

Saber took several resolute steps forward: "I cannot promise you a heaven. But I can guarantee I will always stand at the front, leading the charge, not hide behind you watching you die."

——

My sister is not that cute.

"So, so cool…!"

Kyousuke turned his head at the sound and saw his sister on the sofa with her eyes shining.

Well… although the blond girl named Saber on the screen was indeed cool, what was up with Kirino's obsessed reaction?

Kirino usually enjoys brother‑complex games; that was already bad, but becoming infatuated with women because of Saber felt like moving from one extreme to another.

"Um… Kirino, what do you like about Saber?"

"Of course I like everything!" Kirino tightened her hold on Meruru's arm, lightly biting her lower lip as if about to speak, then glanced at her brother on the other side of the sofa and quickly swallowed the words.

"By the way, why are you asking like that? So gross."

"Nothing, I just didn't expect you'd be interested in a dashing girl… I thought you only liked 'magical girl' types like Meruru or some weird adult games."

"Stupid, idiot big brother! What nonsense are you spouting!" Kirino, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, instantly flared up, slammed the pillow in her arms onto her brother's face, cheeks flushing red, and shouted, "Who, who is interested? Besides, liking a cool type like Saber is perfectly normal! You're such an idiot, big brother!"

——

"Do you become a lifelong clown controlled by it, or a momentary knight for dignity? It's still not too late to turn back now."

The crowd of extras shouted in unison: "There is only one answer—"

"Where the King's sword points, that is where our hearts follow!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" The momentum ahead seemed off, so Yinfu Laolao rushed out to stop, "I was clearly the first here; why can you control my familiar?"

Xing proudly puffed out his chest: "The gold value of the 'Ride' skill."

Yinfu Laolao turned and pointed at the incompetent familiars, launching a tirade: "And you, betraying after hearing her say two sentences? You pathetic extras, do you even want your wages?"

Several extras instantly complained: "You big‑shot, besides blackmailing us with money, what else can you do? I'm now the Knight King's mount, not a familiar you order around like a dog!"

Saber leapt, mounting the leading dinosaur meme, and charged at Yinfu Laolao: "Ramrei III, I bestow upon you the name of my beloved horse. Now, join me to subdue the evil before us!"

——

Zero Zone.

"Oh—! Miss Saber is so cool! I want to be like that!"

Ju Fu Fu clenched his fists, repeatedly waving them in front of Ling: "Miss Saber has golden hair, I'm yellow too, almost the same!"

"Um… senior sister, but Miss Saber is taller than you."

Ling recalled that Xing's height was already tall, taller than March Seven, so Ju Fu Fu's senior sister could probably only reach Xing's chest; compared to Saber, that would be only up to her neck.

If the height is lacking, the dignity and such would…

"The point isn't height! It's presence! Saber is the Knight King, and I, Ju Fu Fu, as a Tiger‑hope person, am still closely linked to the King of Beasts, so… I share many commonalities with Miss Saber!"

"Ahaha, really…?" Ling scratched her face awkwardly, "Senior sister, I think the point may not be height or presence, but speaking talent. How about you get tutoring from Master Yixuan on public speaking?"

When Miss Saber speaks, she seems to glow, making people involuntarily want to rally to her and fight side by side. When senior sister speaks… people can't help but reach to pat her head. But who can say that isn't a special ability?

——

Yinfu Laolao quickly dissipated under the charge of her own familiar.

And those extras naturally could not escape the fate of dissipation; their power all returned to Miss Yinfu.

"Not only did I fail to protect the master, being forced to scatter, and even had the enemy rescue me, I—" shame already filled Miss Yinfu's face.

"Madam, at a time like this, one should say 'thank you,' not a dejected 'sorry.'"

"No matter how I argue, it cannot hide my incompetence and dereliction. A Servant without power is merely a worthless doll."

Saber: "Regarding Miss Zhigengniao, there's something… never mind, just come with me directly."

The group followed Saber's steps forward, soon arriving before a great gate. But what stood before them was not a whole Zhigengniao, but… her fragmented pieces.

Lipstick, halo, microphone…

"Ah…"

Xing looked at the pile of Zhigengniao fragments before him, and his head immediately began to throb.
