My mother's love song

"Room? Why do you say that?"

Jin Toki thought for a moment and said, "It was probably more than a month ago. Lord Qingming lost contact with the court.

Then, he simply informed Tianlan of the Holy Grail War technique through a letter."

"……………………"

Tomoe Gozen and Ritsuka looked at each other and said in unison: "Isn't this too suspicious?"

"Right?" Jin Shi agreed with a smile, "Who would be fooled by something of unknown origin?

So Raikou mentioned this to the Minister of the Left, but that bastard, no, the Minister of the Left simply didn't listen and happily said

If just a few heads of magicians from other worlds can be exchanged for a thousand years of peace, it is simply too cheap!

And, after Lord Seimei left Kyoto, the person who actually controls the Onmyoji Ryo is Lord Ashiya Doman."

"This is really..."

"It's really suspicious, isn't it? I thought so too."

Jin Shi said: "Although it is also because I heard you talk about Limbo, but, um, how should I put it, Mr. Daoman seems like a conspirator...

Although the Left Minister and the Right Minister can also be called conspirators. "

Tomoe Gozen: “I see.”

Li Xiang couldn't help but complain: "There are so many conspirators here."

“The so-called Heian period was like this, a place where curses and assassinations were rampant and demons and monsters were rampant.

Although this is the first time I have encountered such an exaggerated Tianlan Holy Grail War, I always hear about good or bad spells. "

What follows is Sakata Kintoki's reflections on the world. Although he has a rough and heroic appearance, he may be unexpectedly a man with a delicate heart.

"Perhaps it is precisely because this era is so unsettling that the powerful Left Minister intends to rely on the Tianlan Holy Grail War to seek a thousand years of peace.

It is precisely because I cannot see that kind of thing [a thousand years of peace] that I make this wish. "

Jin Shi frowned and said, “On the other hand, Guang Ge… the Right Minister seems to find the development of things very interesting, so he accepted the Left Minister’s whimsical idea.

Well, that person is a monster who cannot be judged by common sense. Maybe a thousand years of glory, disgrace, decline and prosperity are just a blink of an eye for him.

Oh, and speaking of wishes."

Sakata Kintoki put down the axe in his hand and began to take off his gauntlets.

Then, Ritsuka and Tomoe Gozen saw a familiar red object on the back of his hand after he took off the gauntlet.

“Command Seal!?”

"Ah~ That's right. So that's what it's called! Command Seal, the pattern that proves you've been chosen.

In fact, I am also a Tianlan warrior in the Holy Grail War." Jin Shi said with some pride.

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously, "Who is Kintoki's heroic spirit?"

Jintoki smiled mysteriously and said, "No matter how kind I am, I can't possibly tell my own information to my rivals in the Holy Grail War, right?"

"what……?"

Ritsuka noticed that Kaneki was staring at the back of his hand.

So that's how it is. He seemed to consider himself as one of the Tianlan warriors.

"Isn't it?"

"No." Ritsuka shook his head.

Jintoki looked at the two of them and nodded: "That's true. Let's not talk about you first. This lady with a sword doesn't look like Caster at all."

"I see. Jinshi, are you wandering the streets at night looking for other Tianlan warriors?"

Jin Shi said: "That's right, but I have been wandering around for several days and haven't found any trace of the enemy.

Just like what Boss Caster said, wandering around the streets at night like a headless fly is fruitless, right?"

Ritsuka said, "I think it would be better for Kintoki to listen to his Caster's opinion, ok?"

"Haha...that's true."

Sakata Kintoki stretched and said, "It looks like tonight will be another fruitless night! In that case, I will take the responsibility to settle you down and then go back!"

He said he wanted to help Ritsuka and the others settle down, but Kintoki himself didn't have any idea.

His Caster set up his own magic workshop in Heian-kyō, where Kintoki currently lives.

But considering that it is the Holy Grail War, although Ritsuka and the others have nowhere to go, they cannot dare to disturb the magician's workshop.

According to Kintoki, his Caster is a rather strict, perfectionist guy.

Therefore, the three of them were troubled about where to stay tonight.

The three of them stopped on a returning bridge, and Tomoe Gozen asked, "What should we do next, Master?"

"Hmm... I guess I can only sleep under the bridge." Ritsuka drooped his shoulders.

Just then, a bullock cart slowly drove towards them.

"Is that a bullock cart? At this late hour."

Tomoe Gozen said, "It should be a noble who has returned home, most likely reciting a poem."

The three men came to the bridge and made way for the ox cart.

Then, the ox cart stopped in front of them without their permission.

Tomoe Gozen and Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at each other.

“There was a burly man in bright clothes at this late hour.

As well as a girl wearing exotic clothes who seemed to have a hidden agenda, and a beautiful woman with silver hair.

What's wrong with you guys? You don't have anywhere to go and are wandering around, do you? "

A female voice was heard from the car. If you listened carefully, you would think it was a beautiful voice flowing from the lips of a beautiful girl.

The three of them looked at each other, and Jin Shi spoke to the woman on the ox cart.

"Ah, um, you must be some noble. Don't worry, I am a retainer of the Genji clan, and my mission is to protect the capital at night."

"Is that so? A Genji man."

After a long silence, a chuckle came from behind the curtain of the ox cart.

"Pfft. Stiff, too stiff. Why bother pretending, Kintoki!"

Jintoki's eyes widened when he saw a girl with long black hair and a gorgeous twelve-piece kimono stepping down from the car.

"Lady, Lady Ogosho!"

"The name Lady Ogosho is forbidden! Wouldn't it be impossible to tell me apart from Xiaoxiang and Lai Guangqin?"

The girl said with a smile: "Well, there's no need to be so reserved. We know each other after all. If you have any difficulties, let Nuozi, or more accurately, Qingzi, help you."

"…………"

Both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Tomoe Gozen looked at the girl in front of them in surprise.

Before this, the only Heian women the two knew were dignified and elegant Yamato Nadeshiko like Murasaki Shikibu or Minamoto no Raikou.

However, this girl has a style completely different from theirs, and is more like a modern person than a Heian girl.

"I see. Then let me call you Miss Qingzi as before."

"Yes! That's good! I'll call you Jin-chan like Hikari no Kiyoshi!"

As the two exchanged pleasantries, Ritsuka muttered to herself, "Kiyoko... could it be that."

Nuozi turned around and said to her with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey, young man. You can't stare at the wife's face like this. My husband is very possessive. It's really a headache."

At this time, Jin Shi whispered: "Don't look at Miss Qingzi like this, she is actually a very powerful noble. Her husband is..."

"I heard everything, Xiao Jin."

Nuozi put her hands on her hips angrily, "You just said that I like to eat cicada pupae raw, right?"

"I didn't say that!"

Li Xiang said quickly: "I'm sorry. Because you look like someone I know, so..."

Noko smiled and said, "You said there's a beautiful girl who looks like me. I really want to see her face if possible... But if Hikari sees her, he will definitely take her as a concubine! Are you kidding?"

...What a cheerful woman she is, Tomoe Gozen thought.

By the way, Ms. Kiyoko has been talking about her husband every other sentence since the beginning. It seems that they are a very loving couple.

It's just like me and my lord... No, no, no, it turns out that my lord and I are more affectionate!

"In fact, I'm looking for a place for both of them to stay for the night."

Kintoki thought about it and decided to seek help from Sei Shonagon.

After all, her husband is the largest landowner in Japan besides the emperor, and he should own many vacant mansions in the capital.

"Hmm, I see. Is there anyone who is broad-minded enough to entertain a group of suspicious people in the middle of the night... Hmm."

Sei Shonagon thought for a moment, then suddenly revealed a cheerful smile: "Then follow me! I'll entertain you at my home!"

"Hey! Is everything okay?" Jin Shi was surprised.

"No problem, no problem."

Sei Shonagon waved his hand and said, "It just so happens that Mitsunori is not at home these days, and everyone is very bored."

"Does Ms. Kiyoko live with anyone else?"

"Yeah, they're all cute girls. Hikari no Chika is such a lucky guy!"

When they heard that it was a mansion where many women lived, Tomoe Gozen and Ritsuka hesitated: "Isn't it a bad idea to visit so late at night?"

"Well, don't worry, everyone is easy to talk to and will definitely welcome you."

Sei Shonagon said nonchalantly.

If a beautiful girl visits, the happiest person should be Iori Chika, who has been doing nothing at home all day because he was not chosen by the Holy Grail.

At this time, Jin Toki suddenly lowered his voice and asked stealthily, "Ms. Kiyoko, you just said that Lord Ogosho is not at home. So, as expected... is that person also a Tianlan warrior?"

Nuozi replied in a sneaky voice: "Don't tell me I said that."

"...!"

Jin Shi's eyes suddenly lit up and he clenched his fists.

"What's wrong?" Tomoe Gozen asked in confusion.

Nuozi said: "Xiao Jin wants to compete with Guang Zhiqin in martial arts no matter what.

But there has never been an opportunity before. Now, Mitsunokana is the patriarch of the Genji clan and the boss of the boss of Kogane's boss. I'm afraid there will never be an opportunity for him to compete in martial arts again.

However, because of this Tianlan Holy Grail War, he finally got what he wanted. "

When Tomoe Gozen heard this, he was shocked.

After all, the legend of the bravery of Sakata Kintoki, the son of the Red Dragon, was quite famous even in the Genpei period 100 years later.

"… Is it true that Miss Kiyoko's husband is such a powerful person?"

Tomoe Gozen frowned slightly. Could it be that she possessed martial arts that even Kintaro would yearn for and even be unable to see through?

I don’t know who is stronger, Miss Kiyoko’s husband or Lord Tomoe?

Tomoe Gozen once again felt a little defensive.

Nuozi tilted her head and said, "Ah~ I don't really understand. Although I once gave up halfway and learned some basic martial arts from Guang Zhiqin, I don't know how good he is... Maybe he's not that good, just ordinary, right?"

"How can it be ordinary!"

Jin Shi quickly corrected him, "Ms. Kiyoko, you have no idea how powerful Lord Ogosho is...!

Although I can’t see the end of that person’s bottomless abyss-like power… Alas.”

"Why are you so excited... Really, is Hikari-no-Kin your husband or my husband?"

Sei Shonagon sighed, and suddenly as if he had thought of something, he waved his hand to call Tomoe Gozen over.

Tomoe leaned forward with confusion, and Noko immediately leaned over and whispered in her ear.
