My mother's love song

The next moment, her face flushed.

"I don't know how powerful Light's kin is though..."

Sei Shonagon said proudly with a hint of boasting, "But my husband is really good in bed."

After being stunned for a long while, Tomoe Gozen lowered her head and complained with red cheeks: "What are you talking about! Can you tell this kind of thing to outsiders?!"

Nuozi scratched his cheek and said embarrassedly: "Oh, sorry, that's true, I'm too stupid.

Because Miss Tomoe gave me a sense of closeness for some reason, so... please forget what I just said."

"........."

At this time, Tomoe Gozen suddenly leaned close to Noko's ear and whispered.

"...When it comes to prowess in bed, Tomoe's master won't lose either!"

Nuozi half opened his mouth: "Ah?"

Tomoe Gozen stroked her long hair and said calmly, "Nothing. Well, Ms. Kiyoko, I'll ask you to lead the way for us."

"Ok."

Kiyoko led Ritsuka and Baden onto the ox cart, and everyone said goodbye to Sakata Kintoki, and the ox cart slowly drove towards the mansion.

Chapter 746: The Legend of Kiyohime: The Day We Fell in Love

The long night when the moonlight was obscured has come to an end, and it is the darkest and deepest moment before dawn.

The wind was blowing, and the trees along the roadside that blended into the night were rustling with it.

The thick clouds not only obscured the moon, but even the shining stars were extremely sparse. In the dark alley at night, a girl wearing a heavy twelve-piece kimono was running awkwardly.

Run. Run. Run.

Run. Run. Run.

Holding her injured abdomen, she took two steps with her heavy legs, inhaled the boiling air, and ran forward with all her might.

The girl didn't fully understand why she had to suffer such a crime and fall into such a miserable situation.

All she knew was that if only the red mark hadn't appeared on the back of her hand,

……

A few days ago, when the girl woke up in the morning, she found a red mark on the back of her hand.

Along with this mark, there also appeared "that woman".

"You have been dragged into the Holy Grail War."

She said calmly, "I am the heroic spirit who came here in response to your call."

After that, the woman explained to the girl what the Holy Grail War was.

It seemed to be a grand ceremony held in Kyoto by the bigwigs in the court for their own selfish desires.

Seven Masters and seven Casters from another world compete for the ownership of the only Holy Grail.

She is the heroic spirit who is on the same side as the girl in this ceremony.

But what does that have to do with a daughter of a low-ranking noble family like me who can be found everywhere?

After the girl asked this, "she" answered.

That must be because you have a wish in your heart.

desire?

Yes, your strong desire made you stand out and become a Master.

"Master, what is your wish?"

The girl shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"Is that so? Then please think carefully about what your wish is."

In this way, they spent a few days in peace.

Although the Holy Grail War sounded very suspicious, the girl who had lived in the capital for more than ten years did feel something unusual around her recently.

Just as Caster said, a secret ceremony is taking place in the streets at night.

Finally, the girl made up her mind to believe in that Caster.

This is not a question that requires too much consideration. "She" must be trustworthy.

If even "she" would betray me, then who else in this world can I trust?

The girl considered Caster as her companion.

"I've thought of my wish, Caster."

That night, when the two were out on patrol, the girl suddenly announced excitedly.

"Oh? Master, what kind of wish do you plan to make to the Holy Grail?"

"I want to use the power of the Holy Grail to obtain a relationship!!!"

"what?"

"I am already fourteen years old, right?"

The girl said seriously, "I'm almost at the age to get married. Well, since I'm going to get married anyway, I hope the person I'm going to marry is a handsome man who loves me deeply..."

Caster stared at her with cold eyes as she spoke.

"By the way, Caster, what kind of person is your lover?"

"...Master, are you serious about what you just said?"

I thought I could share the joy, but I didn't expect that not only did the other party react coldly, but there was also murderous intent in his eyes.

The girl nodded: "Of course I'm serious. If it were you, you would understand, right?"

"I see... That's true."

The girl's Caster sighed helplessly, then narrowed her eyes: "Then I'll just have to ask you to die, Master."

"……Why?"

The next moment, the girl's abdomen was pierced.

……

"Haha...haha...haha..."

I don't know how long I have been on the run.

The girl ran frantically, trying to escape from the pursuit of the heroic spirit she summoned.

Although the Master possessed Command Seals that could render Heroic Spirits unable to resist, and could even force them to commit suicide, it was obvious that Caster, who had been prepared, did not tell the girl this information.

The girl screamed every time she took a step, and the pain spread accurately throughout her body.

Although she had briefly practiced naginata-jutsu, which is considered a compulsory course for female military commanders in Japan, she generally lived a pampered life as a young lady and had never engaged in such strenuous exercise.

The heat in her lungs was excruciating and her breath was filled with the smell of nitro.

My body has reached its limit and my vision has become blurry.

But despite this, she did not stop.

Only the thought of escaping kept the girl from falling.

"Haha...haha...haha..."

I don't want to die yet. I still want to keep living.

I still want to be young. I still want to meet my own love.

The instinct of survival gave the girl the motivation to keep moving forward.

As the scenery continued to flow backwards, a little light appeared in front of the girl.

In this way, she fled from the sparsely populated suburbs to the central part of Heian-kyo.

When you are almost in sight of the brightly lit road, at this moment

The girl felt a burning sensation and severe pain in her back, and smelled the odor of burning flesh.

"Ugh...!"

The flames were powerful enough to melt even the steel in one's bones, but they were as powerful as a cannonball, smashing the girl's body to the ground.

"Ahh...!!!"

She wailed and fell to the ground.

Even though he wanted to get up immediately, he couldn't move on the ground because his whole body was spasming.

The girl hugged her body and curled up like a fetus.

She had lost the motivation to escape, the desire to live.

When faced with torture, humans often beg the executioner to kill them.

On the one hand, it is because the body cannot bear the pain, and on the other hand, it is the mental blow of torture. Even if one survives the torture, the lost eyeballs, fingers, tongue, and sexual organs will never come back, and one will have to live as a disabled person... This overwhelming sense of despair is enough to make people give up on survival for a while.

The situation is similar for young girls.

The skin burned by the flames could no longer be as beautiful as before, and she had to live with a burnt body... This despair made her give up on escaping.

"You're really causing trouble for others... It would be over in a flash if you didn't run away."

The pursuer was also a young woman.

This terrible madness is hidden in the calm and sweet tone.

She used her foot to turn the girl over so that she was facing her, and she immediately covered her face with her hands, trembling.

"If you hadn't run away, I wouldn't have intended to use such a rough method."

She spoke condescendingly.

"Okay, now you should understand that you can't escape from my grasp, right?"

The girl nodded fearfully.

What happened tonight made her no longer have any thoughts of her own.

All I have to do is obey "her" orders and die obediently, right?

In this way, there will be no more things that are incomprehensible and no more unbearable pain.

If that's the case, just die in peace.

"Do you finally understand the current situation?"

The pursuer was very pleased with her response.

"Very good. Just stay there and don't move. It will be over soon."

The pursuer raised the murderous blade in his hand and aimed at the girl's chest.

Her goal was to kill the girl with one blow and let her leave this world without any pain.

Then, at the moment when the cold light was about to penetrate the girl's chest and burn her heart

"I advise you not to do this."

A voice suddenly echoed in the deserted alley.

"who!?"

The murderous girl held the knife in her hand in mid-air and looked nervously towards the source of the sound.

"…………"

A figure walked out from the corner.

"you are……"

Staring at the facial outline gradually emerging in the moonlight, the woman's tone softened, but she also frowned slightly, revealing a look of confusion.

"Why……"
