Book 6: Chapter 7:2: Queen of Sheba! Part 2
After the livestream started, Chen Heng shifted his gaze to Doctor Roman.
âChen Heng, Iâm starting now. Guard our surroundings.â
âDonât worry. As long as Iâm here, even a fly wonât get within a kilometer.â
As Chen Heng spoke, he controlled the iron sand deep beneath the surface, two kilometers away, to envelop a dark figure, then dragged that figure underground.
Using the remaining iron sand, he formed a dozen high-frequency vibrating swords and stabbed them into the ground. When it was over, the iron sand returned to the earth as if nothing had happened.
As Chen Heng had said, he had confidence in his combat prowess. Furthermore, letâs not forget he also possessed the Absolute Precognition. He had prepared this gift for Hassan long ago, and Diarmuidâs gift was also ready.

âMaster, Hassan reported that one of his clones disappeared as soon as it came within two kilometers of the mana fluctuation.â At this time, Kotomine Kirei, who was serving at Tohsaka Tokiomiâs side, received Hassanâs report through the Master-Servant link and passed it to his mentor, Tohsaka Tokiomi.
âI see? Itâs likely a powerful Magus or possibly a Servant.â
âMaster, should I ask Hassan to send more clones? Or should we ask the king toâ¦â
âNo, thereâs no need. Since that Magus or Servant could easily deal with one of Hassanâs clones, sending more would be futile unless we assembled all of Hassanâs clones in one place. But then Hassanâs usefulness would be greatly reduced. As for the king, heâs even more unfeasible. Such a minor matter would displease him greatly.â Tohsaka Tokiomi paused, then proposed a solution.
âSend one of Hassanâs clones to guard the vicinity but donât get too close. I believe such a large mana fluctuation should arouse the curiosity of other Magi. Let them scout.â
âYes, Master.â

âDoctor Roman, stop staring at me. If you keep looking at me like this, I wonât remain polite.â Chen Heng sat cross-legged on the grass, then used his attraction ability to dig out an enormous block of soil, ten meters in diameter. He even used gravity to compress the dirt block, condensing it into a rock. If this rock fell on an ordinary Servant, they would be severely injured, if not killed.
âArenât you scared?â Chen Heng swung his arm, and the rock in the sky followed his handâs trajectory, flying around in strange patterns.
ââ¦Why am I staring at you? Donât you know why?â Doctor Roman kept his intense gaze fixed on Chen Heng, despite the massive thing hanging overhead.
âDoctor Roman, look at what you are saying. If you donât say it, how would I know?â Chen Heng placed the ten-meter-tall rock beside him. It was a bit too big for a toy.
âYou tell me. Did you make a shady deal with Skadi? Why else would the holy relic she gave be wrong?â Doctor Roman picked up a stone and threw it at Chen Heng, who didnât even move. The attraction barrier in front of Chen Heng deflected the stone.
âNo, I remember giving Skadi a queenâs holy relic,â Chen Heng defended himself.
âSo, it was you,â Doctor Roman said. âYes, itâs good itâs a queen. But why Sheba?â He shook his head, trying to dislodge the heavy weight there.
âMy king, donât do that; it tickles,â the Queen of Sheba protested, covering her blushing face. Then she placed the two massive lumps of flesh that Doctor Roman shook off back on his head.
With a resigned âErmâ¦,â Doctor Roman sat on the grass, passively âenjoyingâ the Queen of Shebaâs âbreast pillows.â
This led Doctor Roman to recall how things had come to be this way.
Before the summoning, heâd scrutinized the summoning ritual for errors. Only when he was certain everything was correct had he started the real summoning.
The Greater Holy Grail supplied most of the mana, and the rest came from the Dimension Administrators Association, so Doctor Roman was freed of mana worries.
He had set the teardrop-shaped red gem from Skadi on the summoning ritual. Now, he wondered, Isnât that gem the Queen of Shebaâs pendant? Why didnât I recognize it before? Damn! How could I have forgotten?
After placing the holy relic, Doctor Roman had sent Skadi a private message and started the summoning.
âI hereby declareâ¦protector of the holy balance!â As Doctor Romanâs incantation continued and the Dimension Administrators Associationâs mana filled the summoning ritual, the glow within the ritual had grown brighter and brighter.
Just as Doctor Roman finished speaking, a figure had appeared on the summoning ritualâa successful summoning, it seemed.
âSkaââ Doctor Roman had begun to greet Skadi in the summoning ritual but was stunned to see the results when the light faded. He remained stunned there for a while; things had not goneâ¦as he had anticipated.
âMy king, it has been a long time,â said the figure, who was not Skadi, as Doctor Roman had expected, but a very, very, very, very familiar person, rather, his wifeâthe Queen of Sheba.
After greeting Doctor Roman, the Queen of Sheba pounced on him, resulting in his current predicament.
Doctor Roman sat on the grass with the Queen of Sheba half-kneeling behind him, providing him with breast pillows, or rather, breast cushions.
Doctor Roman thus experienced what was called an unbearable weight in life.
End of flashbackâ¦
After reflecting on the events, Doctor Roman looked at Chen Heng with hostility. No matter how he thought about it, the most suspicious person in this matter was Chen Heng, who had admitted to giving the holy relic to Skadi.
Doctor Roman recalled how he had been prompted to invite Skadi by Chen Heng, and Skadi had immediately agreed and sent the holy relic over. Doctor Roman couldnât believe there was no collusion between these two.
After all, given Skadiâs personality, she would not play tricks on others.
âSkadi is the Queen of Ice and Snow, and Sheba is also a queen. Itâs just a difference in what they are queens of, isnât it? Donât sweat the small stuff,â Chen Heng retorted.
âThatâs quite a differenceâ¦so you did this, right?â Doctor Roman decided to confirm once more.
âDo you mean discussing how to trick you with Skadi or who provided the holy relic?â Chen Heng asked. âEither way, thereâs no difference. I admit to it all.â Chen Heng spoke with no trace of embarrassment, standing tall as he admitted his actions to Doctor Roman.
Chen Heng didnât feel that what he had done was bad or a prank; he sincerely thought he was helping Doctor Roman out. Alaya and Gaia could attest to this.
If they did not vouch for him, Chen Heng would beat them to death. Either way, they were both on Chen Hengâs hit listâ¦ermâ¦good deeds notebook.
