My mother's love song

Edo.

Deep inside a huge mansion, there is a magic workshop that is as solid as a fortress and protected by multiple barriers.

The owner of the Magic Studio is a magician. No, to use the localized term, he should be called an Onmyoji.

Born into the most prestigious Onmyoji family, Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro has been proud of his last name since he was a child.

But

The so-called mystery is precious precisely because it is something that humans cannot easily control.

Even though he was a descendant of Abe Haruaki and had qualities far beyond those of ordinary people in his blood, the power of the Tsuchimikado clan as Onmyoji had begun to decline a hundred years ago.

The bloodline with magical skills gradually became thinner, and by Tai Guang's generation it had become very mediocre.

In addition, in recent years, the Western magic that entered Japan along with the Nanban trade has had a great impact on the local Onmyoji.

This made him, as the current head of Tsuchimikado, feel very pressured. If this continued, not only would he not be able to revive the family, he might even lose his official position in the shogunate.

The man's wish is very ordinary, which is to complete the revitalization of Tsuchimikado in his own generation.

But he also clearly realized that his qualifications would only make the family's future even bleaker.

Fortunately, Tsuchimikado had a great ancestor.

In the Heian period when demons and monsters abounded and hundreds of demons roamed the night, he was hailed as the most powerful Onmyoji in history and a genius who reached the pinnacle of magic.

In the legacy left by Abe Haruaki, he learned about the magical ceremony called the Holy Grail War that was held secretly during the Heian period.

As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro gambled his life on the Holy Grail War.

In Qingming's document, only incomplete information about the Holy Grail and the Holy Grail War was left, as if to say "you guys have to figure out the rest on yourselves."

The man tried his best, and after several coincidences and miracles, he finally created a ritual that was barely enough to summon a heroic spirit. Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro called it the "Full Moon".

The summoned Heroic Spirit is Caster, a terrifying and eye-catching weirdo.

According to Qingming's records, he is the weakest among the seven servants.

However, although he is the weakest Servant in frontal combat, he has powers that other classes do not possess.

With Caster's assistance, Tsuchimikado transformed Yingyue into a form capable of summoning multiple servants, and smoothed out relations with the Tokugawa shogunate.

Rulers of any era are always a group of fools. The shogunate was deceived by Tsuchimikado's sweet words and approved his request to hold the "Full Moon Ceremony" in Edo.

Everything is ready

Next, he only needs to win the Ceremony of the Full Moon to revive the Tsuchimikado clan!

In this mysterious and rare era, a great Onmyoji who can be compared with Abe Haruaki and Ashiya Michiman will be born in the Tsuchimikado family!

Of course, although this man was a mediocre mage, he was not stupid. He certainly knew that "normally, Caster could not win the Holy Grail War."

Therefore, Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro and his Caster tampered with the underlying rules of the Holy Grail War.

But this is not enough. Since you have already cheated, you should do it more thoroughly.

The waxing moon ceremony is a huge gamble.

Summoning Caster instead of the Three Knights was also a huge gamble.

In that case, why not gamble bigger?

With this thought in mind, Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro stepped into a forbidden area that no human being could ever enter.

Under the gaze of Caster and dozens of relatives, Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro calmly walked to the altar and opened the package placed in the center of the altar.

Wrapped in luxurious cloth was a fragment of a broken blade.

Although it was just a fragment of a broken sword blade, when it was uncovered, the Onmyojis present all felt a powerful aura.

“Ohhhhhhhh…”

The Onmyojis cried out with trembling shoulders, feeling the amazing power rippling in the air.

That was the aura of God that had long been lost even in the mysterious and blockaded island nation.

What Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro longed for was an absolute victory in the Waxing Moon Ceremony.

Presumably, this holy relic will be able to truly summon the strongest servant with such power.

Even if they were to face off against the other six Heroic Spirits, it would not matter. Even if they were to face off against all of Japan or the entire world, this ancient being could easily overwhelm the human world.

It is said that he is the most vicious incarnation of destruction, the god of storms who controls the sea.

The eight million gods are nothing compared to him; this god is a horrible fantasy that makes even the most exalted sun [Amaterasu] pale in comparison.

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro is not interested in the mythological era.

He simply chose the strongest Servant known to all Japanese as a matter of course, and for this reason he treated the [Fragment of the Ten-fist Sword] as a holy relic.

In order to obtain this tiny fragment, the Tsuchimikado family spent almost everything they had, but it was all worth it.

For Tsuchimikado's great wish

The man murmured in his heart.

"Then, let's get started."

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro read out the words to summon the gods with an excited expression.

He clearly knew what he was doing

However, even though he was told that his actions might lead Japan to an irretrievable situation, it was unable to stop his almost crazy obsession.

Perhaps when this man saw the relics left by Abe Haruaki, he had already been cursed by the words "Universal Wish-Making Machine" inside them.

A few minutes later

There is no need to even confirm the real name to be sure that he is undoubtedly the strongest, but also the most vicious and evil even worse than the strongest.

A certain god who must never be summoned has appeared here.

……

……

……

In the dark hall deep in the Tsuchimikado workshop, Onmyojis wearing hunting robes fell prostrate on the tatami.

There was no order from anyone, but they simply felt panic from the bottom of their hearts, causing their knees to lose strength.

In the seat of honor in front of them, there was a handsome young man sitting cross-legged.

The reason why he exudes a strong presence just by sitting there may be the cold aura and strong demonic nature that linger around him.

The young boy Rhodes stared at the mortals who disturbed his sleep with his deep red pupils, with an unhappy look on his face.

... Damn it, I was sleeping soundly in bed with Tima and Anna just now, how come when I opened my eyes, there were more than a dozen grown men around me?

He suppressed his inner confusion and didn't show it, just frowned.

He just frowned, and the Yin-Yang masters lying on the ground felt a chill running through their backs. They clenched their teeth and suppressed their cries of fear.

After experiencing it themselves, they realized more clearly how terrifying the god who looked like a child before them was.

To this young man, who wears clothing that does not belong to this era and has both human-like features and obvious inhuman characteristics, all living things in the world are equal.

Equality is as fragile as an ant. If he glares at you, your body will explode and your soul will be burned.

On the other side, Rhodes, who had remained silent the whole time, quickly understood the current situation.

It seems that I have been dragged into the Holy Grail War.

It's been less than half a year since I returned to pan-human history from the Fairyland Lostbelt. How come I'm involved in another inexplicable incident?

Although Rhodes wanted to say so, things were not that simple.

First of all, without his consent, the summoning would not be possible.

If magicians could summon servants unilaterally, then Rhode would have nothing to do every day and would just go back and forth to work on the sets of the Holy Grail War.

Hum... So that's what's going on.

Rhodes looked down at his body, then at the holy relic, and immediately understood why he was summoned here.

Tsk, it really causes me trouble.

Although the boy felt extremely unhappy, there was no point in complaining to a dead guy, so he decided to accept the status quo for the time being.

So Rod spoke

As if it came from heaven, a solemn and absolute declaration from God resounded in the magic studio.

"Explain the situation to Yu."

Obviously what he wanted to say was "You idiots, explain the situation to me quickly", but when it came to his mouth it became "Explain the situation to Yu".

But this was also within Rhodes' expectations.

Then, one of the Onmyojis kneeling below the young man, Yasuhiro, the head of the Tsuchimikado family, raised his head.

"Great and noble ancient god, please allow us to be blessed by your supreme power and lead us to victory in the waxing moon ceremony!"

""

Rhodes was stunned.

What a plain and clichéd plot development.

Rhodes was so bored that he was speechless. For a moment he even thought he was summoned by some unknown cult.

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro did not notice anything unusual about Rhodes and continued to explain.

"We ask for nothing more than to obtain the Holy Grail through your hands and to leave the almighty wish-granting machine in the Tsuchimikado family through your power."

The man's deep facial features and voice trembled together.

Rod realized that it was not fear, but excitement.

This man was actually very happy, glad that he had summoned the strongest Servant.

How disrespectful.

Just having this thought and treating me as a familiar is enough to make you die ten thousand times without any regrets.

Having said that, Rhodes didn't intend to kill him just like that.

When the boy arrived in this era, he began to observe the world itself with his deep red pupils.

Then, Rhodes also discovered many interesting things in this Holy Grail War.

It’s not bad as a pastime, the boy thought to himself as he closed his clairvoyance.

"Our great wish is to obtain the Holy Grail and thereby realize the revival of Tsuchimikado and Onmyojitsu."

Every word was infused with Tsuchimikado Yasuhisa's obsession, however.

"Boring, Seimei's blood is also corrupted."

Rod yawned loudly, as if to ask, are you calling me out just for something like this?

The young man looked around at the Onmyojis who were kneeling on the ground, and then spoke.

“Since you have summoned me here, I believe you have already prepared the corresponding sacrifices, right?

Don't say you're not prepared, I will wipe you and this mansion off the map of Edo in the next moment."

"Of course I'm not unprepared!"

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro shouted nervously, while lowering his upper body deeply.

"In addition to the seven Servants, we have prepared seven, no... eight masterless Heroic Spirits for you during the Waxing Moon Ceremony."

"Oh, oh... eight people?"

The boy's gloomy face suddenly showed a smile: "Yes, it's a really auspicious number. I like it very much."

"Well, you..."

Rhodes: "Ah, although I don't mean to follow your arrangements, I have decided to stay in this era.

You all just need to be grateful.”

"Well, please forgive us for our treason... Great God, can we confirm your real name with you?"

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro said firmly: "I want to confirm the Servant's true name no matter what. After all, it is the basis of the Holy Grail War."
