A compilation of memorable moments from Chaldea's girlfriends showing affection in various dime

"Ahem... Thankfully, Sion didn't tell the Director about what would happen to the Tokugawa clan in the future. If she knew that the Tokugawa clan had completely disappeared into the dustbin of history, she would probably be very sad. Perhaps she might even do something very impulsive."

Kaguya Shinomiya breathed a sigh of relief. She absolutely could not let Tokugawa, the utterly loyal master of the Ooku, know about this.

"...The curtain has fallen, but to still be able to survive as a wealthy family until now, it can't really be said that they've disappeared into the dustbin of history, can it?"

Shirogane Miyuki really doesn't understand the thinking of these rich people. They've been wealthy families for hundreds of years, so what could they possibly be dissatisfied with?

Could it be that without the power to once rule the world, one has simply vanished...?

He believes that being alive is the most important thing; only by being alive can one have a tomorrow and hope.

"...So that's how it is. After decades of ups and downs, the Tokugawa shogunate was overthrown, and the era of imperial rule began..."

Kasuga no Tsubone took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and her hands trembled slightly; the news had shocked her beyond measure...

She still couldn't resist the temptation to know the future in advance.

“Miss Kasuga no Tsubone… dynasties rise and fall, there are no eternal dynasties. The Tokugawa Shogunate was able to maintain its rule for over 200 years, which is already quite… remarkable,” Mashu advised.

"Right now, we should focus on rescuing the hostages... We don't know yet whether Kama will suddenly harm the hostages she's holding."

Although the Tokugawa Shogunate was incompetent and did many heinous things, it was quite lucky to have survived for so long.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Kasuga Tsubone calmed down, her eyes becoming clear. "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I won't worry too much about the future... I, Afu, will do my best to do what's in front of me and be the best version of myself."

"Although it's very painful and I'm very unwilling... After Afu left, did Tokugawa not have any good wet nurses?! Seriously, it makes me so angry!"

"Afu, you've done a great job. Raising so many outstanding children is already wonderful," Parvati said with a smile. Unfortunately, she couldn't pat Afu's head; she could only pat her own, creating a rather strange scene.

"Tsk tsk, it's a miracle that your stupid way of governing has lasted this long! The Tokugawa Shogunate should have been wiped out long ago, a bunch of garbage."

Ushiwakamaru said with considerable disdain, "You oppress the peasants, oppress the residents of Shimabara Castle, and even committed the despicable act of massacring the city. Your Tokugawa Shogunate and those who serve the Tokugawa Shogun deserve to die!"

If she had appeared in the Edo period, she would have swiftly eliminated all the Tokugawa high-ranking officials and villains like Matsudaira Nobutaka.

"...A massacre!? Such a demonic way of governing. No wonder the First Emperor looked down on human history so much... With these foolish rulers managing the people and governing the country, hundreds of years of time, civilization, and power have been wasted."

There has been no progress whatsoever.

Siduri frowned, not expecting the Tokugawa Shogunate to be such a foolish organization. It was a good thing that Kama had captured him.

“…Ahem. You should probably accept your fate by now, Tajima-no-kami.” Matsudaira Nobutaka stared at the bound man in front of him.

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami stared coldly at Matsudaira Nobutaka, "Enough with the nonsense!"

"The word 'accept one's fate' does not exist in my dictionary."

"Hmph. Even after being reduced to a Servant, to a Spirit Master, your stubbornness hasn't changed at all."

"It is you who is mentally unstable, Lord Nobutsuna. As someone who has served the shogunate for a long time, it is unforgivable for someone who has been living off the Tokugawa shogunate's stipend to commit such an atrocity."

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami wished he could cut off Matsudaira Nobutaka's head right now; this treacherous man deserved to die!

It is utterly foolish to now seek refuge with demons and monsters that are neither human nor mortal.

"Ahem... Of course, I understand why Lord Munenori, who is the guide to Iemitsu's military strategy, would say such a thing. However, this is a topic that has already been resolved."

"The Tokugawa Shogunate lost to Lord Kama. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for us, the defeated who cannot defeat God, to submit to the victor?"

Matsudaira Nobutaka smiled and tried to persuade him.

"A woman born in a chaotic era but who has never been on the battlefield, is someone that Your Excellency would never understand."

"If you can't win, you can't win. That's what battle is. Lord Munenori, who experienced the Siege of Sekigahara and Osaka, should understand. Of course, I also understand—as someone who witnessed the hellish Amakusa-Shimabara that shook the peaceful world."

"Hmph! You mean, since we can't win, we might as well switch sides?" Yagyu Tajima-no-kami said disdainfully.

"What else could it be? To defy the gods and Buddhas is a foolish act. I, Izu no Kami Nobutsuna, highly praise your swordsmanship and your leadership as a daimyo."

"That's precisely why, in order to jointly fulfill our new responsibilities, I've invited you here as I am now," Matsudaira Nobutaka said kindly, patiently persuading the stubborn old man before him.

"The reason why Lord Zongju is still here is all thanks to Lord Kama for granting my request."

"Because it's useful to this Great Inner Palace, several Servants whose minds have been taken by Lord Kama's magic have begun working as ladies-in-waiting. I don't want this to happen, and I hope you will willingly and proactively assist me..."

"No need to say anything more. My sword will not be used by those who harm Tokugawa. If you think my old bones are in the way, then cut off my head right now."

Suddenly, the female doll left and informed Matsudaira Nobutaka that Chaldea and the others had entered his location.

Upon hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutaka beheaded the ill-mannered female servant doll with a single stroke of his sword, then turned around and continued speaking to Yagyu Tajima-no-kami with a kind expression:

"Hehe, it's a bit unreasonable to expect a doll to be polite. I know that."

"But that's precisely why I hope to have a knowledgeable and reasonable comrade by my side. There's a limit to how long you can wait, Tajima-no-kami. I hope you can make a decision before you become the Ooku."

Matsudaira Nobutaka looked at Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, whose body was shrouded in black mist, and said, "You see, relying solely on Zen insights isn't enough to sustain you indefinitely—"

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami groaned, continuing to endure the endless temptations, his soul relentlessly ravaged by the seven emotions and six desires.

"Matsudaira Nobuo... he hasn't changed at all. Whether in the singularity or in pan-human history." Amakusa Shiro stared at Matsudaira Nobuo without joy or sorrow.

This was his enemy when he was human, a hated enemy, a beast that committed countless atrocities against the grassland city.

"It's truly regrettable that even within this singularity, peace couldn't be achieved, and humanity couldn't find salvation..."

Amakusa Shiro saw the culprit who had killed him and looked at Matsudaira Nobutaka, a lackey of the shogunate, but his mood remained completely calm.

"Heh, such a cunning man would try to persuade Yagyu Tajima-no-kami like that. It seems this guy isn't entirely thinking of Kama's best interests. What, is he waiting for an opportunity to betray Kama and then seize Edo Castle for himself?"

Semiramis's face showed a cold smile as she stared at Matsudaira Nobutaka, her eyes surging with murderous intent.

She desperately wanted Matsudaira Nobutaka to drink the poison she had given him.

Although doing so will not earn Master's praise, or show any change in Amakusa Shirou's mindset.

This man is no longer the Amakusa Shiro he was when he was human.

However, she was still very unhappy. Since she had displeased the Empress, Matsudaira Nobutaka had no choice but to die.

Mordred sniffed the air. "It stinks...it stinks! What evil thing did this guy release on this old man?!"

"No wonder you were burned to ashes by Shiva, you deserved it. What you did was truly disgusting!"

"Just because someone tells you to do something doesn't mean you have to!? Don't you know how to resist? You got screwed over and now you're complaining and blaming everyone. I would never do something so shameful!"

"...So you killed your own father?" Shiki-kai Kairi stared at Mordred with a disapproving expression. "What an unfilial son..."

Permafrost anomalies.

"Well, it turns out to be Yanagi, who is hailed as one of the strongest swordsmen of the Edo period."

"Rise of Tajima-no-Kami? ? Hehehehe..." Oberwut chuckled, his eyes gleaming with excitement; his hands were itching to get going again.

A swordsman of this age is currently at the peak of his strength!

She really wanted to spar with Yagyu Tajima-no-kami and have a real brawl between two hot-blooded men.

Slaying monsters or tearing them apart with your bare hands in this frozen tundra singularity will only lead to a very slow increase in strength.

Wrestling and fighting with these monsters is just a snack for them.

"Wow! It's old man Tajima-no-kami again! Every time I see him use his swordsmanship, I can't help but want to spar with him. Although... I'm no match for the old man."

Miyamoto Musashi was very excited and stood up with great enthusiasm. It had been a long time since he had seen the old man.

She must fight against opponents far stronger than herself to refine her skills and fulfill her dream.

Miyamoto Musashi wanted to learn swordsmanship from Yagyu Tajima-no-kami for free in order to improve his own swordsmanship.

She was reincarnated into a world where only otome games have doom flags.

“Another heroic spirit who looks like an old man. That Yagyu Tajima-no-kami is definitely not an ordinary heroic spirit…” Mary Hunter said.

Moreover, as far as she knew, all the heroic spirits who appeared in the form of old men were quite powerful and were not to be underestimated!

Moriarty, Senji Muramasa, and the chief bodyguard of the First Emperor were all powerful, elderly heroic spirits.

“Who is it—!” Fujimaru Ritsuka opened the sliding door in front of her and found Matsudaira Nobutaka calmly watching them.

“His name is… Matsudaira Nobutsuna, right?” Sesshouin Kiara stared at Matsudaira Nobutsuna, wondering what kind of amusement he could bring her. “Or that expression of having abandoned all worldly pleasures… how disappointing.”

No, that's precisely why it's worth saving. But this time, it doesn't seem to be that kind of problem. What a pity, what a pity.

If Matsudaira Shin'gang were in the Deep Sea Computer Paradise, then Sesshouin Kiara would go to save him, making Matsudaira Shin'gang an existence that cannot live without Sesshouin Kiara.

Once she's satisfied and has had her fill of fun, she'll simply abandon Matsudaira Nobutaka.

Unfortunately, she has other things to do now and doesn't have time for her little games.

"Mr. Yagyu!? Buried in the pillar, becoming one with the pillar!?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked in astonishment at Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, whose body was embedded in the wooden pillar behind Matsudaira Nobutaka.

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami looked apologetically at Fujimaru Ritsuka: "My lord, I was too careless."

"Although I desperately want to kneel and apologize, I can't even bring myself to bow my head. Please forgive me for presenting myself to you in this shameful state..."

His body was submerged in the pillar, his neck was also submerged and unable to move, and his eyes could only look forward, with black mist spreading around his body.

Kasuga no Tsubone was stunned, looking at the powerful Yagyu Tajima-no-kami now in such a sorry state. "Eh, Lord Munenori!? How could a master like you have fallen to such a state!"

"What happened to your proud Shinkage-ryu? Where is Shinkage-ryu?!"

"Don't you feel sorry for your lord, who showed such a childlike, innocent expression and excitedly declared, 'Yanagi Dan's Shinkage-ryu is the strongest!'?!"

"..." Yagyu Tajima-no-kami was completely bewildered. Who was this beautiful girl...? She seemed to know me?

Seeing the bewildered expression on Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's face, Kasuga no Tsubone finally realized what was happening and explained, "Ah, right, my face is Pal-sama's now! I am Asuka! I am Asuka, who is in charge of the Ooku!"

"It's Lord Afu. Why are you looking like that... It's so strange..."

“Strange, strange, this performance is so accurate! I’ll tell you the results of my analysis!” Sion appeared with a smile, interrupting Kasuga no Tsubone and Yagyu Tajima-no-kami’s reminiscing. “That person over there is undoubtedly Saber’s Servant, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Munenori, who has a connection with Chaldea.”

"But at the same time, the reaction of the Great Pillar was also detected."

“It’s not just him. If we assume that’s the case for everyone, then the calculation is correct.”

As he watched Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's body disappear into the pillar, a flash of inspiration struck Sion. The truth behind the events shrouded in mystery was finally beginning to unfold.

"Where did the people of the vanished Edo Castle go? And the people of Chaldea, and their Servants?"

“There is only one Dacha—he has become the material for this Great Palace.” Sion said this startling thing, revealing this terrible news.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, Sesshouin Kiara, and Kasuga Tsubone all wore expressions of utter shock. Living people and Heroic Spirits had been turned into building materials?!

"How...how could this be!?" Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were shocked.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression turned angry, her hands clenched into fists, wishing she could punch Matsudaira Shin'gang's head right now.

Da Vinci, Holmes, Goldruff, Munir, the Chaldea staff, and the Heroic Spirits have all been turned into materials!?

The smiles of his companions flashed before Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, causing him immense heartache.

Kasuga no Tsubone grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, suggesting that they should first listen to what Matsudaira Nobutaka wanted to do, and tried to dissuade the furious Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"I believe this enormous magical construct was created using the heat of other beings as its material. Although there are differences in the density of the resource, the constituent elements are the same whether it is a human or a Servant."

Sion was very impressed that Kama could conceive of building such an unusual spatial labyrinth.

The method is truly bizarre.

"In other words, it wasn't that the people of Edo Castle and Chaldea were abducted after the Great Labyrinth, the Ooku, was built... but rather that they were abducted and then used to build the Ooku. They were abducted for the purpose of its construction, isn't that right..."

Sesshouin Kiara's eyes lit up. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! You can do it like this?!

“Ahem… Your judgment is quite accurate. However, not everyone was used as material for the Great Inner Palace. I've heard that some were kept by Lord Kama in the lowest level as invisible souls,” Matsudaira Nobutaka explained.

This left the audience across the myriad realms somewhat puzzled: why explain things so clearly to the enemy?

"If that's the case, then it doesn't contradict the statement that if you want to save people, you must go to the lowest level of Kama." Sesshouin Kiara gazed gently at Matsudaira Nobutaka, and asked with a light laugh, "Hehehe... You are as sharp as a needlepoint. Why are you telling us this so kindly?"

"I have been tasked with patrolling and confirming that there are no problems in the area. I must tell you that even if you tear down all the partitions and take them back, you still won't be able to bring back the person you want. We can't let you cause unnecessary destruction everywhere. We must consider the preservation of the landscape."
