Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

"I said, we can't just let Ba keep crying like this, who's going to wake her up?"

Miyamoto Musashi rubbed his rumbling stomach and began to miss the taste of udon noodles.

"I come!"

The blond loser, who had long disliked the public displays of affection, volunteered, rubbing his hands together and stepping forward to give Tomoe Gozen a hard slap on the shoulder.

However, at the moment of contact, flames erupted from Tomoe Gozen's body.

"Burn...out...!"

Her bloodshot eyes glared angrily at the uninvited guest who had disturbed her, her expression chilling and menacing, like that of a ferocious demon.

“Ba…” A voice called out behind her, carrying a familiar feeling that had been lost for a long time.

"Lord Yoshinaka...?!"

Tomoe Gozen turned around blankly, and standing not far in front of her was a person named Kiso Yoshinaka.

"Lord Yoshinobu!!!" She rushed over like a madwoman, but only missed and fell to the ground.

She knelt on the ground, large tears of blood streaming down her face. "Lord Yoshinaka, I miss you so much, I really miss you, but... but... I've been looking for you for so long... why, why do you never show up again..."

Her tears, which were originally blood-red, slowly became clear and transparent, but she sobbed more and more uncontrollably.

"Lord Yoshinaka... I'm so sorry... I've fallen into demonhood, but... I still miss you so much, I've always... always..."

“Ba…” Kiso Yoshinaka crouched down and called out gently.

“Lord Yoshinobu…” Tomoe Gozen raised her head and looked at the person who had once been by her side day and night.

“You’ve suffered all these years. I’m sorry, Tomoe. I haven’t done a good job.” Yoshinaka Kiso tried to reach out and stroke Tomoe Gozen’s face. “I’m just a form without a physical body now. I can only stay with you for a little while before I have to leave. But… thank you for always loving me, Tomoe. Whether I become a demon or something else, you will always be my wife. I will always be by your side.”

"Lord Yoshinaka... I..." Tomoe Gozen straightened up, two faint red tear tracks still on her face.

Yoshinaka Kiso laughed and said, "Alright, stop crying. I'm so sorry I haven't been able to see you all these years. It's all my fault that you've become like this. But I think that after today, you'll be able to let go of this knot in your heart, right?"

A blush crept onto Tomoe Gozen's pretty face, and her eyes darted away shyly. She lowered her head slightly and said, "Tomo... I don't blame you at all. I could die happy just to see Lord Yoshinaka..."

"That would be perfect." Kiso Yoshinaka smiled gently. "Alright, I should go now. Take good care of yourself from now on. Even though you can't see me, I'll always be here for you."

"Lord Yoshinaka!" Tomoe Gozen cried out anxiously for a moment, then paused, wiped away the tears on her face, and smiled happily on her beautiful face: "Then, goodbye, Lord Yoshinaka, take care of yourself."

Kiso Yoshinaka's figure gradually turned white, eventually transforming into a streak of light and disappearing from the room. Only his final message still echoed in Tomoe Gozen's heart.

Continue your journey, I will always protect you...

"I see, that's really amazing." Suzuka Gozen, standing in the corner, shook her burning hands and looked at Kiso Yoshinaka, who was gently comforting Tomoe Gozen on the field. She couldn't help but marvel, "I couldn't tell the difference, it's just like the real thing!"

"Isn't this the truth?"

Okita Souji chewed on a konpeito and blinked.

"That's true. With similar experiences and similar lives, even I can't distinguish between reality and games anymore."

Miyamoto Musashi nodded slightly, somewhat moved.

“That’s true, but…” Murasaki Shikibu’s deep eyes flickered as she looked at the two people embracing in front of her. “Such deception is never a long-term solution. They are ultimately different.”

Indeed, that dream made up for Tomoe Gozen's regrets and regrets over the past thousand years, allowing her to stay and save her beloved Yoshinaka instead of fleeing the battlefield.

But a fake is still a fake.

Unless, of course, the person dreaming doesn't consider it a dream.

"Thank you, Lord Samael..."

The white-haired female general in the ancient serpent's arms looked up and murmured, her eyes clear and bright. She exuded a gentle and serene temperament, and was even more pure than before.

The next moment, the figure stood on tiptoe, cupped the face that seemed to be constantly overlapping and changing in front of him with both hands, and kissed him with a pair of fiery red lips.

Samael wanted to refuse, but seeing the tears in Tomoe Gozen's eyes, he ultimately did not resist and responded gently, mending the broken pieces in that heart.

"Hey, what are you all doing hiding in this little room? Why didn't you come pick us up?"

"Where's the dog food I put in the fridge? My son is hungry."

Amidst complaints and snorts, two tall figures dressed in black entered the living room.

However, when the two saw the couple embracing and kissing passionately in the center, they froze at the doorway, their fists clenching unconsciously.

Upon hearing the sound, Samael caught sight of two figures appearing at the door, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Jeanne Alter and Artoria Alter...

The last two riders were actually them!

This time, it's really game over.

Caught red-handed, the scoundrel felt a sharp gaze from behind that seemed to want to tear him apart, and he was filled with despair.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Getting Straight to the Point with a Tsundere

In the afternoon, at Chitose Manazuru's home in Tama Ward.

Two figures, one tall and one short, supported the newly awakened Servant, the demon girl Momiji, as they strolled along the corridor, performing some basic rehabilitation exercises.

Hana Rin on the left kept glancing to the right, and after several hesitations, she finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"Mr. Samael, what happened to your eyes?"

On the other side, Samael subconsciously raised his hand to touch his bruised eye socket, coughed lightly, and answered casually.

"Cough, I was in such a rush that I bumped into the door frame."

"And what about the face?"

"I bumped into the door frame. The noise was so loud that it startled a cat that was sleeping on the balcony. It pounced on my face and scratched me a few times."

Samael's tone was helpless, and his right cheek, which had several obvious bloodstains, twitched involuntarily.

"That's outrageous!" Hua Lin exclaimed indignantly, clenching her little fists. "How could that cat have the heart to scratch such a handsome face!"

In just a few words, the face-obsessed person revealed his true colors, and couldn't help but raise his hands, wanting to cup that handsome face to see it for himself.

However, as soon as she got close, Hana Rin was surprised to discover a new problem.

"Wait, why are your lips swollen too?"

"Ah, cough cough..."

Samael coughed violently, feeling resentful as he faced the barrage of questions from the curious child in front of him.

Try kissing three times in a row, and your own lips will swell up too.

During this time, he should have been at the gun tower, getting to know the Seven Riders of the Shogunate and discussing battle plans.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Berserker and Rider who finally showed up were actually his old flames, Jeanne Alter and Artoria Alter.

As it happened, he happened to stumble upon a passionate kiss between himself and Tomoe Gozen.

Both of these women, who have turned to the dark side, have fiery tempers, and it's likely that they've accumulated a lot of negative emotions during their time in the singularity.

Thus, a reunion of old friends turned into a brutal battleground.

Seeing this, Jeanne Alter and Artoria Alter immediately blocked the door and locked the window, tacitly flanking him from both sides and dragging him into the house.

After that, they were met with a fierce and relentless denunciation.

Only after hearing the two men's sarcastic remarks and their gritting words did Samael learn about Jeanne Alter's and Artoria Alter's experiences after the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

Because he ran away early and failed to complete the mission, Jeanne Alter, in a fit of anger, simply gave up and decisively skipped her shift at the Dark Council, going out to explore with her newly acquainted Artoria Alter.

After a long and winding journey, the two finally settled in Shinjuku.

But the peaceful days didn't last long. First, they heard that the French saint had returned to power, and then they heard that the Holy Spirit of Britain had appeared.

Jeanne Alter and Artoria Alter felt like orphans abandoned by the world, and the more they thought about it, the angrier they became.

However, just as the two were furious and preparing to return to their respective hometowns to seize the bird positions from their two arch-rivals, they unfortunately encountered the anomaly in Tokyo and were drawn into this strange singularity.

Fortunately, they encountered a former acquaintance, the other side of Heaven's Feel I: Irisviel – Black Feel Justiza.

As the alienation of the singularity intensified, the three, along with Chloe and Little Black, decided to team up to tackle the risks together.

They put in a lot of effort in maintaining order and establishing the shogunate in the early stages.

After all, it would be difficult for Justisa to manage three regions all by herself.

Moreover, while it's Yustissa's talent to scheme and cause trouble, it's quite difficult for her to govern the country and maintain stability.

With her experience in commanding armies, Jeanne Alter, and with her experience in governing a country, Alter effectively compensated for Justeza's shortcomings.

The three worked together to restore order to the city and significantly reduce the rate at which the heroic spirits were corrupted.

However, after working themselves to the bone outside, putting out fires everywhere, they arrived home to find that some philandering scoundrel passionately kissing Tomoe Gozen in their backyard.

He had just spent some time fooling around with their nemesis outside, and now that he's inside the Singularity, he's going to steal their girlfriends and NTR them right in front of them?

The two became increasingly angry and agitated as they talked, almost to the point of wanting to cut up a snake and make soup on the spot.

To avoid being stabbed on the spot, Samael steeled herself and chose to take the initiative, directly knocking down the enraged Jeanne Alter and Artoria Alter and silencing them with a passionate kiss.

In his experience, the most effective strategy for dealing with these arrogant people is to be direct.

The effect was immediate and clear; the two men's arrogant attitude was successfully suppressed.

But the consequences are equally obvious...

The bruises around my left eye and the scratches on my right cheek were their handiwork.

Of course, there are also my lips, which are still swollen, after kissing for a full two hours.

In the end, Jeanne Alter and Artoria Alter were defeated. After each delivering a counterattack to the scum snake, they broke free of their restraints, covered their equally swollen lips, and fled the bedroom in a sorry state.

Considering the two men's tolerance for daytime debauchery, the crowd of onlookers waiting for gossip, and the limited time remaining before the expedition, Samael had no choice but to stop.

To avoid trouble from Jeanne Alter and Artoria Alter after they realize what's happening, the experienced Serpent decisively cuts off his escape and goes to Chitose Manazuru's house in Tama Ward for refuge.

However, just when they got rid of the trouble over there, they encountered another curious kid who liked to get to the bottom of things.

Looking at Hua Lin's inquisitive little face, Samael felt a headache coming on and didn't know how to cover up the lie.

Fortunately, the demon girl Momiji, who was being supported, interrupted Karin's questioning.

"Master, I'm a little tired. Let's go sit over there."

"Oh, good!"

Hana Rin nodded repeatedly, then immediately helped her servant up and led her to rest in the pavilion in the courtyard.

After taking her seat, Momiji looked at the empty stone table, frowned slightly, and turned to her Master to give a thoughtful reminder.

“Master, it is very impolite to neglect a guest. Please fetch some tea and snacks.”

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

Hua Lin patted her chest to assure them, a sweet and bright smile on her face, and then quickly ran upstairs to prepare things to entertain the guests.

Samael watched the little girl's hurried figure, chuckled, and shook his head.

"This is a very good child."

"Hmm, if my child were still alive, she would probably be just as adorable as her..."

The ghost girl, Momiji, felt a pang of emotion, then fell silent, gazing at the reddening maple leaves on the street, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Samael was silent for a moment, then murmured, "The man is gone, the living remain."

Momiji, the ghost girl, suddenly came to her senses, looked up at the figure running up the stairs, and the smile in her eyes diluted the sadness on her face.

"You are right. To be able to form a bond with this child here and rediscover the warmth of humanity is already an immense blessing for us sinners."

Immediately, the woman turned to look at Samael opposite her, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you for stopping me that night, otherwise I'm afraid I would have done something I'll never regret."

Upon hearing this, Samael couldn't help but smile awkwardly and wave his hands repeatedly.

Although the intention was good, and it did prevent the out-of-control Momiji from hurting Karin and Eriyo, I didn't recognize the giant dinosaur at the time.

Therefore, they were quite ruthless, and after a severe beating, this tough-skinned dinosaur has only just recovered and is barely able to get out of bed and move around.

There's no need to express gratitude; just avoid incurring hatred.

After a few brief responses, Samael fell silent again, turning to look at the nearby maple leaves, showing no intention of exchanging further pleasantries.
