Chapter 1364: Servant 2
The Magic Power which filled the room vanished gradually the moment this figure appeared on the center of the Magic Circle.
Haru was dumbfounded when he saw the servant that stood on the Magic Circle, wondering how come his blood related to this beauty?
She is a beautiful mature woman.
She appears to be wearing some kind of latex bodysuit, with a piece of cloth draped over her chest and a heart-shaped insignia linked to her collar. A similar piece of cloth was found over her crotch, tied by a rope around her waist. She possesses some armor in the form of tight gauntlets and grieves, elbow and knee-length respectively. Her katana is seen sheaved, connected to her by another sort of rope.
She has very long hair, which she ties at the very end.
She gives an elegant, virtuous, glamorous, and somehow gives off a mother-like affection feeling?
Haru had to admit that this woman was a personification of Yamato Nadeshiko"s beauty.
However, in the face of this beauty, she somehow showed a worrying expression toward Haru.
"That... That..."
The gentle voice mixed with the restlessness until she decided to introduce herself.
"I am Minamoto no Yorimitsu."
Then for the first time, both of them stared at each other, looking at each other, clearly remembering each other"s appearance.
"Although I am not a Saber-cla.s.s servant and my ability as a commander is too flawed, please believe in my ability to bring you to a victory."
"..."
Haru wasn"t sure what to say for a moment, but he knew that his servant was a Berserker-cla.s.s servant and usually, a Berserker-cla.s.s servant would be crazy because of Mad Enhancement on their summoning, however, his servant was different since she could talk normally.
"But Minamoto no Yorimitsu, huh?"
Haru somehow understood how he could summon this servant.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
She is a person from the 10th - 11th Century. Born as the eldest son of the Minamoto clan, he is a figure who contributed to the development of the entire Seiwa Genji line as the founder of the Settsu Genji branch. He is also the strongest Mystery Slayer of the Heian period, who destroyed many monstrosities, such as "Shuten-douji of Mount Ooe", the "Giant Spider" of "the Imperial Capital", and "Ushi-Oni of Sensou-Ji". Leading her subordinates, Raikou"s Four Heavenly Kings – Watanabe Tsuna, Sakata Kintoki, Urabe Suetake, and Usui Sadamitsu – she continued to protect the peace of the capital. Naturally, he is a male in historical fact.
As for how Minamoto was summoned as a woman, Haru wasn"t sure, but well, it might be the setting of the world so the character of Minamoto no Yorimitsu would be more charming.
So the question was, how was he able to summon this servant?
In the past, Haru had gotten a reward to turn him into the descendant of Asura Ootsuki, and Minamoto no Yuritsu was the incarnation of Sakra (Indra).
In the world of Naruto, Ashura Ootsuki"s brother was Indra Ootsuki. Both of them might be different from the legend in this world, however, it was related somehow so it was normal for him to able to summon Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
Haru understood the reason why he could summon her, however, there was another question on his head and that was at how his servant was able to talk normally when he checked the Mad Enhancement reached EX rank which made him a bit worried.
Haru was wondering whether this woman was acting or... he wasn"t sure since Berserker-cla.s.s servant was the most unpredictable after all.
"Wait unpredictable?"
Haru suddenly realized something.
In the process of character creation, a creator usually added a gimmick or quirk to the character in the story, especially a romance harem story so the heroine is more fun.
Haru looked at Minamoto and wondered whether she had a quirk or two, but then he realized that Minatomo seemed to be sad for some reason.
"Why do you feel sad?"
When Minamoto heard this question, she was surprised, but then she looked at a trace of worry on Haru"s face which made her dumbfounded since it was her first time to see someone look at her with this expression.
"What"s wrong? Have I done something wrong? We"re going to fight together from now on so if you have some worries in your heart, please tell me," Haru said sincerely since he was worried that Minamoto might go berserk if he used a quite harsh tone.
"...."
However, Haru was even more dumbfounded and felt at a loss when he saw tears in Minamoto"s eyes.
"Are you alright?"
It might be his nature so he took out a handkerchief naturally and wiped the tears on her eyes gently, however, she cried even loudly which made him not sure what to do for a while.
"Minamoto-san, are you alright?"
Minamoto quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I am alright, but..."
"But?"
"Is it alright for you to have me as your servant?" Minamoto asked. It was the thing that had been making her worry from the beginning to the end since all of her life, she was being rejected be it her parents or her closest people.
When Minamoto asked this question, her voice was filled with worry, but there was also a trace of antic.i.p.ation.
Haru was somehow quite weak to such a mature woman so he quickly answered. "Why not?" He smiled and said, "You"re the strongest Mystery Slayer of the Heian period, having you as my Servant is something that I am more than happy about."
The concern on Minamoto"s face disappeared and it was changed by a beautiful happy smile.
Haru was a bit startled when he could see a trace of obsession on Minamoto"s face and somehow he could tell that there was some strangeness on this woman, but he wasn"t sure what it was since he only met this woman for a while.
"I"ll call you Berserker from now on so no one is going to know your True Name, is that alright?"
"Yes, yes!"
Minamoto nodded without hesitation.
"So Berserker, please take care of me from now on," Haru said and reached Minamoto"s hand.
"Yes! I will take care of you from now on, Master!"
Minamoto was so excited that she held Haru"s hand with both of her hands. The movement on her handshake was so fierce that it shook two of Mt. Fuji on her chest.
Haru quickly looked away since this woman was quite intense for him.
"I"ll protect you from anything and regard you as my son. I"ll eliminate your enemy and bring you to victory, Master..."
Haru didn"t think too much, but then he felt a bit weird by how his servant was going to treat him.
"Son?"
Haru didn"t think too much and thought that it was better to check his servant"s status while also telling him about his situation so she could adjust her state to work with him to fool the Ygdmillennia family.
