Chapter 1440 Suddenly...

Haru and Raikou were staying at the villa together with all the members of the Black Faction and the Yggdmillennia clan.

The villa is quite luxurious. In terms of scale, it might not be as large as the Fortress of Millennia, but compared to Haru's house in Tokyo, it was larger, and even if one hundred people lived in this place, they wouldn't feel cramped at all.

However, such a situation was normal since the price of land of the two countries was different.

If Haru wanted, then it was possible for him to buy an entire Trifas with his money in his original world.

Well, enough about that, but with the destruction of the Fortress of Millennia, the Magus of the Yggdmillennia clan, all of them moved to this place and lived in this place.

Even the homunculus also moved and lived in this place together.

Even though there were so many people living in this place, it didn't attract anyone's attention, and the area surrounding the villa was so quiet.

It was as if there were no living beings in this place, and there was a sense of eeriness since it had been a while since someone was living in this place. Not only that, this villa was also located on the mountainside where no one was living.

If people saw this villa then without a doubt they would think of it as a haunted house.

It was because of that that this place was suitable for a Magus to live since no normal people would live in this place.

Walking in the corridor of the villa, Haru passed the homunculus that patrolled around. He looked around and could feel the enhancements and barriers in this villa by using his "Kenbunshoku Haki".

Even though Haru didn't know what it was, his "Kenbunshoku Haki" made him feel that there was something around the house.

Haru had to admit that the work of the Magus of the Yggdmillennia clan was very fast since it had only been a day since they moved here, but this place had already been covered by various Magecraft.

Fiore didn't want the same thing to happen once again, and under her arrangement, the magus of the Yggdmillennia clan laid many enhancements, traps, and barriers to this villa overnight.

If someone checked this villa then they would notice that the security of this place was comparable to the Fortress of Millennia.

But...

"Is it necessary?"

Although Haru knew that everything was needed to prevent the enemies from invading this place, however, the Red Faction didn't need to attack them anymore.

The Red Faction had taken the Holy Grail and had an absolute advantage. As long as they stayed in the hanging garden, it was only a matter of time before they won.

They didn't need to do anything to the Black Faction at all.

In this situation, they didn't need to guard against the enemies, but rather to focus on the attack, of course, their target was the Red Faction.

"Well, if it is for the Assassin of Black then I think it is necessary."

Besides the Red Faction, Fiore also had a headache stopping the Assassin of Black.

After all, there were a lot of Magus from the Yggdmillennia clan that had been killed by Jack the Ripper, not only the normal Magus, even Celenike, the former master of the Rider, and also the patriarch of the Yggdmillennia clan, Darnic was also killed by Jack the Ripper.

Vlad III, who was the trump card of the Black Camp, was also killed on the battlefield.

If Jack the Ripper came to the new base camp of the Yggdmillennia clan, then, without doubt, she would massacre the entire people on the Yggdmillennia clan.

"Once Kasugano-kun and I are killed by the Assassin of Black, then the Black Faction is really over."

Fiore made the conclusion very cautiously and ordered people to deploy enhancements, traps, and barriers overnight and the result was quite impressive.

"Caules should be thinking about this strategy."

Unlike his sister, Caules's way of thinking was similar to a Magus, and unless he helped Fiore, there was no way that all of this could be done overnight.

Haru didn't have an interest in Magus since he knew how cruel they were toward their families, however, he had to admit that Caules was more suitable as a Magus than Fiore.

The homunculus was patrolling with weapons in their hands, their expression was quite cold and indifferent, rather than calling them a servant, it was more suitable to call them a robot.

However, Haru also noticed that those homunculi had started to change somehow. Not on the appearance, but rather on the inside.

"Their sense of existence has become stronger..."

In the past, those homunculi were like a pebble on the side of the street, so even if someone saw them, they wouldn't pay attention toward them, but it was different now, it felt like they were alive and they felt more like a human now.

However, in his mind, there was no difference between humans and homunculus, both of them were the same, the only difference was the method to create it.

Homunculus was created using alchemy, however, a human was created by a man and a woman. Those were the only differences, and the same as a human, they should have an emotion, but of course, their lifespan was shorter.

Haru knew that the change in homunculus was related to Sieg.

Sieg and Astolfo also lived in this villa, and they had been working to help those homunculi. Especially those homunculi that were used as a supply of magic power for the servants of the Black Faction. That group of homunculus, after all, lacked some organs and they were created in hurry, unlike the homunculus that was patrolling around the villa whose purpose was to help the combat power of the Black Faction.

Sieg and Astolfo wanted to help those homunculi that were used as a supply magic power and helped them to restore their short lifespan to a normal level, however, such a thing was undoubtedly a difficult thing.

Although Sieg owned various information in this world and common sense, it was nothing compared to a normal people, he lacked experience and knowledge to help the homunculus. Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the ability to help his companionship.

However, Sieg decided to help with the Black Faction, providing them with a combat power in this Holy Grail, and because of that the Magus of the Yggdmillennia clan would help Sieg's companion, and the one who took the lead was Gordes.

"You bunch of idiots! You can't even do this? Get out of the way! Let me handle this! You're useless without me."

Even though Gordes was cursing and mocking the homunculus, he still helped those homunculi wholeheartedly.

Haru smiled and thought that Gordes was a tsundere.

If only Gordes was a female with a small chest, twin-tail hairstyle, and a childhood friend too, then Gordes might be one of the most popular characters in the story.

Unfortunately, Gordes was a fat old man, but still, he was kind, even if his mouth was rude.

"Well, let's end the matter as soon as possible."

Haru stretched his hands and walked toward Jeanne's room.

The two had made an appointment and they would discuss what had happened before.

So Haru came to Jeanne's room, knocked on the door, and said, "It's me, Haru."

"Enter."

Haru opened the door and entered together with Raikou.

Raikou had been following Haru everywhere he went since she didn't have an "Independent Action" ability nor did she want to move away from him since she knew that there were a lot of insects that were interested in her dear.

Haru was a bit surprised and asked, "Shinobu, you're out?"

"Yes, have you eaten breakfast?" Shinobu asked.

"Not yet." Haru walked toward Shinobu's room and sat down on the chair, looking at the riceball which was made on the table. "For me?"

"Yes, eat it." Shinobu nodded.

Haru ate the riceball while looking at Shinobu curiously. "Have you eaten?"

"I have eaten, you don't need to worry and I made that for you," Shinobu said.

"Thank you." Haru nodded and licked his finger since there was rice that stuck into it.

"It's delicious, thank you."

"No problem." Shinobu smiled.

Raikou looked at Shinobu and Haru and felt that both of them were similar to a husband and wife that had been married for a long time which made her nervous for some reason, but then she quickly calmed herself since she had made up the decision to accept his women, after all, she met him only a few days ago, however, Shinobu had known him for a long time.

"Do you go out because you miss me?" Haru asked.

"Aren't you the one who misses me?" Shinobu snorted.

"Yes, I miss you," Haru said truthfully.

"I know, but still, you must have a good life with such beauty on your side," Shinobu said while looking at Raikou. She looked at Raikou's chest and knew that it was the reason why Haru was attracted to Raikou.

"..."

Raikou was a bit shy when she was being asked, however, she felt that she could get along with Shinobu somehow.

Haru only rubbed his nose and decided to let her let out all of her emotion first, however, he didn't expect...

"Well, enough of that, so let's have a date," Shinobu said.

"..."
