Eve's magical villa, as the name suggests, is a miniature world built by the vampire progenitor, Eve, through magic.

Iron at 34.6%, oxygen at 39.5%, silicon at 15.2%, magnesium at 12.7%, nickel at 2.4%, sulfur at 1.9%, and titanium at 0.05%. These elements roughly make up the planet where Levi is located.

However, inside Eve's villa, things are not so complicated.

Magic. Although there are other elements, they are trace amounts that can be ignored. Being inside the villa is like being at the center of a gas giant. Although gas giants have rocky or metallic cores, such cores are formed by the giants themselves. The islands, plants, and tall buildings within the villa space can be explained by a similar principle.

To accomplish such a miracle on one's own, no amount of praise would be excessive, and Levi once thought so too. But now, for the first time, he discovered a flaw in the villa, a significant flaw that prevented him from promptly detecting an intruder.

Being composed of magic means that the people inside the villa are enveloped by Eve's magic. It's like pouring a glass of red wine into the sea or lighting a cigarette in an open plain. For those accustomed to relying on magic or similar special fluctuations to perceive their surroundings, the impact is evident just by looking at Levi.

He, who could usually sense even an enemy's deliberately hidden presence in his sleep, had to use his eyes to notice someone sleeping beside him. What a disgrace!

Putting aside the special influence of the villa, Levi himself should write a profound self-criticism. The Mexican tetra has an extremely developed non-visual organ that allows it to avoid objects in the water, to the point of completely losing its vision. Levi doesn't want to become a blind hero, even though it might look cool.

"Sleepwalking? Could it be that you came to this planet because of sleepwalking too, noble third princess of Debuluke?"

He noted down his training plan in his mind. Since this incident happened by chance, Levi decided to take advantage of the opportunity to clarify everything. A private space isolated from the outside world is an excellent place for murder and cover-up.

Of course, that's the worst-case scenario with an extremely low probability. Although there are many suspicious points, he is relatively certain that the short-haired girl has no ill intentions toward him. After all, no amount of external interference would make a professional killer ignore a hostile approach. If Momo had any negative emotions, Levi would have detected them before she entered his attack range. Ultimately, he is a highly irrational man who trusts his intuition, whether that is good or bad.

"Huh? As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Mr. Levi. You recognized me from the start, didn't you?"

The girl's reaction was unexpected. She was neither overly nervous nor overly calm, covering her wide-open mouth with her hand as if her prank had been exposed by a friend.

This is better. Levi doesn't want to use those common interrogation methods from movies on a cute girl, especially when she hasn't harmed him. Momo's reaction allows their conversation to proceed smoothly.

"Yes, pink hair, the Debuluke royal family's distinctive tail, and I've seen your photos in the media before. It's not easy to forget such a prominent figure."

Levi sighed. He doesn't dislike this princess; who would dislike someone who has no grudge against them, especially a cute girl?

The current situation is too complex. Despite his usual lazy demeanor, Levi spends some time in the villa every day after returning home. Since he decided to participate in the Holy Grail War, he has insisted on training alone. Even the sharpest weapon will rust if left unused for too long, and a long period of comfort has made him unfamiliar with the battlefield. Otherwise, Momo wouldn't have been able to infiltrate successfully.

Out of the five formidable enemies, only Berserker and Shinji Matou have been ruled out. Heracles is undoubtedly a top hero in legend, but he has lost his sanity due to his berserk state. The Berserker class should ideally be paired with a mature and skilled mage to maximize its power. However, he is paired with the novice Shinji Matou, making them the least competitive team despite their powerful Servant.

Levi has only heard of misfortunes never coming singly, and good luck rarely lasting. Facing the remaining four enemies will be a series of tough battles. During this period, he wants as few factors as possible to influence the battle. He hopes Momo's appearance is not a bad thing.

Therefore, Levi must quickly understand her intentions. Even if the answers are not verifiable, at least he can gauge her stance. In a situation with formidable enemies outside, he doesn't want any incidents at home. A vampire with sealed magic is not much stronger than an ordinary human girl, which is why Levi insists that Eve stay at home rather than accompany him like other Masters.

"Mr. Levi, are you worried that I might cause you trouble? Although I don't have any convincing evidence, please believe me. Momo wants to help Mr. Levi."

After saying this, she knelt on the bed, leaning forward, probably trying to mimic a bow to show her sincerity.

Oh no, Levi had already seen how loose the girl's nightgown was. The forward lean made the thin fabric unable to resist gravity, and two small, rounded mounds almost greeted Levi.

He quickly turned his head, grateful that he didn't have any neck problems to endure such a strain early in the morning.

"Ah, actually, there is a reason... but I'm afraid Mr. Levi won't believe it."

Seemingly oblivious to her second exposure, Momo lowered her head, speaking hesitantly.

Levi wasn't sure if the danger of being forced to act as a pervert had passed, so he didn't turn around and waited for her to continue.

"Because... because... because I think I like Mr. Levi."

Each word was spoken more softly, almost like a whisper she didn't want anyone to hear. As Momo had predicted, Levi couldn't believe it. He really couldn't believe that a girl he had only met for a day, with less than two hours of actual interaction, would say something that sounded like a confession.

How else could he interpret it? Perhaps this galaxy princess is still young, and the carefully nurtured greenhouse flower has a very simple understanding of the word 'like'... probably...

Levi was trying hard to convince himself, but others wouldn't give him that chance.

"It's not the kind of liking for family! It's... it's... it's... love at first sight! Yes, it's love at first sight. Ever since Mr. Levi saved me, I've fallen in love with you."

She suddenly looked up, shaking her cute pink short hair, launching an unavoidable, direct attack on Levi!

Never having encountered such a bizarre and sudden event, Levi had no idea how to respond. The initial purpose of talking to Momo had become unimportant; he just wanted to find a way out of the situation. Unfortunately, his lack of experience caused his brain to freeze at the critical moment.

I wish someone would break in!

Levi shouted in his heart.
