Era of Heroic Spirits: I Was Exposed by Alaya

Chaldea.

Mash looked at the doctor, who was obsessed with magical girls, and couldn't help but advise: "Doctor, internet idols aren't naturally born beings; they're controlled characters. What if there's a guy behind it?"

"Impossible! Mari is Mari, a perfectly flawless idol!" Doctor Roman replied without hesitation.

In his mind, he vaguely recalled making some kind of promise regarding Mari with someone.

What promise could it be?

Could it be that he also had a connection with Nameless?

Roman fell into a tangle of thoughts.

He always felt like he had lost many memories.

He couldn't even remember his childhood.

Yet he always felt that the entire world was facing an apocalyptic crisis, driving him to work tirelessly to improve himself.

Every single day, he was studying hard.

Unfortunately, he was just a human, an ordinary person who didn't know any magecraft.

To bridge these gaps, Roman could only sacrifice time and energy to handle a massive amount of tasks, hoping to contribute to the world.

To complete various tedious and complex tasks, he even secretly used various drugs to enhance his mental focus, masking his endless fatigue.

Watching the livestream of [Magi☆Mari] was his only way to relax!

Just looking at her could put him into a dreamlike state, making him feel extremely at ease.

She was his comforting angel!

"Mash, dear, don't bother with this guy anymore. What if Mari is actually that pathetic incubus? Let him explode with frustration then!"

Da Vinci sighed softly, "That scream earlier made it feel like Merlin's was cut down!"

"…How do you know so much?"

Doctor Roman looked at her suspiciously from head to toe.

"Want me to give it a try?"

Da Vinci suddenly produced a full set of medical instruments, smiling gently, "I'm known as the jack of all trades; performing a small surgery is completely within my capabilities."

"No, no, I need to get to work!" Doctor Roman hurriedly fled.

This person was too terrifying!

After he left.

Da Vinci looked at the black screen and fell into thought: "Could it be that Nameless and the King of Heroes teamed up to force Merlin to dance? What happened afterwards?"

With the bond between the King of Heroes and Nameless, they would definitely be willing to take action against Merlin, who had tricked Nameless!

After the previous video of Unlimited Blade Works, there was a side story titled Chaldea, which mentioned that Nameless eventually joined Chaldea. What exactly was he planning to do?

Everything was shrouded in uncertainty.

But it didn't matter; that exposure-loving [Alaya] would surely reveal everything!

...

The next morning.

Roya groggily opened her eyes.

Huh? An unfamiliar ceiling?

Her little head froze for a moment, then she suddenly sat up in bed, vigilantly observing her surroundings.

What happened last night?

All she remembered was being told that Souma and Mr. Gold wanted to give her a gift?

Damn it, why can't she remember anything?

At that moment.

Souma, wearing loose pajamas, walked over with a smile: "You're awake? The surgery… never mind, you were already a girl."

"Uh, what surgery?"

Roya froze for a moment, her little face suddenly flushed with anger as she glared at him: "Are you saying that the little gift you mentioned yesterday was to create life? You pervert! Lolicon! I'm calling the police!"

She had clearly planned to wait a few years, at least until she was of age, but now she couldn't hold back.

The key point was,

She felt nothing at all!

Not a bit of enjoyment!!!

"Hah, what nonsense are you talking about???"

Souma's mouth twitched.

What was this brat thinking every day?

Did she really think that holding hands and cuddling could lead to pregnancy, giving birth overnight?

It was just that yesterday, to deal with that pathetic incubus, he had used her body to extract the magical power he had previously injected.

Souma tossed a phone packaging box at her with annoyance: "You fell asleep here yesterday. The gift is the latest model of the Chrysanthemum brand phone; do you want it?"

"One night, one phone…"

Roya's golden twin tails swayed behind her as she ground her little tiger teeth, suddenly feeling like she had seen this scene on the news before.

However, even if this otaku had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her.

She huffed softly, happily opened the phone, finally able to replace her old broken phone.

When she finished changing her clothes and was ready to go out.

Souma walked over and handed her the Hades's Cap of Invisibility, "Here, put on this beautiful hat filled with the colours of nature."

"Cut it out!"

Roya pouted, raising her delicate little foot to kick him.

Unfortunately, he skillfully dodged, completely avoiding her kick.

The two of them walked out of the hotel room together.

The cleaning staff, coming to tidy up, stole glances at them with strange expressions.

This made Souma feel a bit embarrassed.

After all, the age difference in appearance between him and this brat was too big, making it hard for people to trust him.

But these were trivial matters.

King Arthur, the King of Heroes, and the Dark Saintess would still be around for a couple of days.

As the representative of ordinary students, his work was far from finished.

On the way, Julian approached him quietly: "I heard that Qin Shi Huang is coming; do you know when?"

"His Majesty the First Emperor? I'm genuinely looking forward to it."

Souma casually agreed.

A faint trace of unease flickered in his heart.

As [Alaya] revealed more and more, it seemed increasingly difficult for him to perfectly conceal his identity.

I, Souma, just want to live a peaceful life.

Damn it!

"With the three top-tier Heroic Spirits gathering in Fuyuki City, it's only natural for His Majesty the First Emperor to come." Julian adjusted his black-framed glasses, glancing at him from the corner of his eye.

In the Vow in the Snow video, in another timeline, he and Emiya the Great had become close friends.

Now, he had also become friends with this guy.

Wasn't this just fate playing its hand?

"Indeed, after all, he is the host," Souma nodded.

Countless memories from the past surfaced in his mind.

Unconsciously, that boy who had once been left as a hostage in an enemy country had also become a top-tier Heroic Spirit.

Fortunately, the other party had probably forgotten all about him.

He could only pray that bastard [Alaya] wouldn't expose everything!

As he was lost in thought, Julian suddenly asked, "Aren't you curious why I was like that in the other timeline?"

"Curiosity won't help. I'm just a guy with no magical energy—I can't do anything for you," Souma shrugged shamelessly. "As the saying goes, the more you know, the sooner you die!"

"Hah, typical of you."

Julian shook his head.

His earlier vague suspicions were completely shaken.

The guy he knew was just a lazy slacker who refused to strive for anything.

Completely different from Emiya the Great, who wanted to be a hero of justice in the other timeline!

The two parted ways.

Souma headed toward the meeting point designated by the academy when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate.

Ding dong~

Pulling it out, he was utterly speechless to find that [Alaya] had, unsurprisingly, uploaded another video.

Luckily, this time it was a side story, not the new exposé he had feared.

The title was straightforward and blunt—

[Special Side Story—How Many Peepers Were Charmed by Emiya the Great's High Jump?]

[This side story is carefully curated by me, showcasing those who secretly watched Emiya the Great's high jump and were enchanted.]
