My mother's love song

What he believed in was not the Noble Phantasm [Kusanagi's Great Sword], but the Heroic Spirit [Yabutsu-no-Mitsukoshi].

The boy smiled with relief.

"Really... I'm surprised that it's your turn to inspire me, Iori!"

The depression and cowardice in my heart were swept away.

The enormous magical power condensed in the sword of Ama-Kume rolled up whirlpools of divine wind, like the natural wrath of the sea.

This divine sword that emerged from the tail of Yamata-no-Orochi, Japan's greatest catastrophic dragon, was filled with a noble aura and dispelled the darkness of the night.

""

Miyamoto Iori stared in a trance at Saber's figure holding the divine sword high up, the red light of the Command Spell gleaming hotly on the back of her hand.

"Go ahead! Saber!!!"

The water light gushing out from the front end of the sword rushed up to the sky and transformed into eight sacred and ferocious white snakes.

"O great snake of disaster, I will purify you with my sword!"

This is by no means the true power of the sword Ame-no-Kume, but the power of Saber herself.

This is not the real treasure of the Japanese Takeru, but the sublimation of his martial arts tempered by his life.

The young man swung down the sword in his hand.

"Special Skill! Yaki Raging Wave!!!"

The supreme sword skill was unleashed in an instant.

Eight consecutive attacks produced a powerful eight-flash that shattered everything on the surface of the earth.

The water, winding like an eight-headed snake, making a loud noise, and rushing like a raging wave, is simply a natural display of the violent side of the gods.

The raging torrent of water engulfed all enemies in incandescence, and the giant snake summoned by the assassin was instantly evaporated.

If Rhodes saw this scene, he would definitely comment like this.

At least at this moment, Saber has definitely surpassed Ibuki Daimyojin.

Even the Eight Water Corpses, exercised by the power of the Son of the Dragon God, do not possess the power to rival this unique skill.

""

A drizzle started to fall from the sky, but Miyamoto Iori himself was completely unaware of it.

He just stared quietly and intently at Saber's smile wrapped in light.

The Yaqi Raging Wave is truly amazing...it is truly the best of all the best.

Yearning and moved.

The huge shock made the young man's whole body and soul tremble.

Miyamoto Iori's excitement was beyond words, and he sighed in his heart:

It's just like the swordsmanship I saw when I was a child.

……

……

……

"Only by breaking through it can I go further."

……

……

……

"........."

After Yui Masayuki opened his eyes, he found an unfamiliar ceiling and a quiet space.

How is the battle going at Yokosuka Port?

Was Assassin defeated?

Forget it, these things have nothing to do with me anymore.

Yui Masayuki is over.

It doesn't mean that the waxing moon ceremony is over, but that her life has come to an end.

The girl lost consciousness.

I'm afraid this container has finally reached its limit.

Is this the reaction caused by activating the magic circuit for the first time?

Or is it that my destiny only lasts until today?

Even the free time to think about these questions has become an extremely luxurious thing for the girl.

“…Rider.”

Fortunately, his lips and throat were still able to move, and Yui Masayuki quietly tried to call out to his Servant.

She only felt guilty towards the cavalry. Minamoto no Yorimitsu was clearly the strongest warrior, but he had to sign a contract with a half-baked Master like me.

If he could meet a better master, he would

In the silence, footsteps were heard.

The girl turned her gaze with difficulty, only to find that the person standing in front of her was not Rider, but Ruler.

"Rod...?"

"Well, it's me."

The young man sat down cross-legged beside the straw mat where she was lying and smiled.

"You can rest assured, Mr. Zhengxue, I'm a gentleman who won't take advantage of others in distress. That's great."

"What on earth are you talking about... Really, how long have I slept?"

Rhodes said: "It's still one hour before dawn."

Zhengxue said: "Not long at all."

Rhode continued to explain to her: "It was Rider who sent you to me."

“Rider?”

The girl blinked, which was one of the few physical actions she could use to express her emotions.

"I thought he didn't get along with you. Isn't he trusted? Hehe, where is Rider?"

"Rider has reduced the magic power connection to the maximum in order not to burden your body. You must be going somewhere to hunt monsters and absorb magic power."

"Really... He hasn't given up on Yingyue yet. That's very Rider-like."

Yui Masayuki closed his eyes quietly and enjoyed this moment with gratitude.

Although I feel sorry for Rider, I can be alone with the man I admire at the end of my life.

Haha, I am really so happy...

"It's snowy."

The boy broke the beautiful silence.

"Do you still want to go on living?"

PS. Yamato Takeru is believed to have died at the hands of the god of Mount Ibuki.

The god of Mount Ibuki generally refers to the Yamata-no-Orochi, although Ibuki-douji is also a god who lives on the mountain.

As for how the giant snake, whose bones had been crushed to dust for a thousand years, won the resurrection match and killed the Japanese Takeru who was parading around with his tail bone, there was no explanation.

However, in Type-Moon, there is such logic:

"Ibuki-douji is the daughter of Yamata no Orochi and the branch spirit of the snake god." So Ibuki-douji can also be Yamata no Orochi! He can also pull out the Ame-no-Kurosakumo sword from his tail!

(I was born by my father, so I must be able to give birth to my father!).

So this book simply sets it up as being killed by Ibuki-douji.

Chapter 941 The girl experienced the feeling of being a woman~

Is the additional condition for extending my life requiring me to withdraw from the competition for the waxing moon and give up my identity as a petitioner?

Yui Masayuki's already drowsy will was awakened by Rhodes' words, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

She opened her eyes again and saw a smug smirk on the boy's face.

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

Although Yui Masayuki admitted that he was bewitched by Rod, his face looked really annoying and he did not have the dignity of a person who could really save lives.

Sigh... If I still had some strength left, I would definitely punch him in the face.

Thinking of this, the girl said with resentment.

"Maybe you think you are omnipotent, but I'm sorry, I'm hopeless.

I am an artificial life form with a body created by humans and given life, so I cannot live as long as humans.

I wasn't injured, but my body had reached its limit.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t make it to the end of the Waxing Moon Ceremony, but at least now, let me… let me…”

When she said this, the girl suddenly hesitated.

She pursed her cherry-colored lips, hesitating for a long time, and finally spoke embarrassedly.

"...Let me stay by your side for a while and sleep peacefully."

The girl lying on the straw mat blushed.

Her body, which was originally more slender and petite than that of an ordinary person, and her skin was as delicate as a baby's, looked even more pitiful after becoming weak. Even a samurai outfit could not hide her fragility.

"This isn't the first time I've participated in a ceremony similar to the Waxing Moon Ceremony."

Ignoring the love-struck android girl beside him, Rhode suddenly spoke without any context.

“The Holy Grail War’s Waxing Moon Ceremony was later called this. Unfortunately, I have been a person who has a connection with the Holy Grail War for a long time.

I have participated in countless Holy Grail Wars and met countless Servants and Masters."

"...?"

Yui Masayuki stared at the boy strangely, frowned and nodded, "Eh... I can probably tell."

"In one of the Holy Grail Wars I participated in, I once sacrificed the life of an artificial human.

It's called abandonment, but in fact it's just watching someone die without helping them

At that time, I manifested as Caster, and I was thinking more rationally than usual.

Saving him would be a piece of cake for me, but I don't think it's necessary to do something that has no benefit to me.

To be honest, I regret it a lot looking back on it.

If he had been more patient at the beginning, would he not have lost his life in vain?

Sometimes... I think that when I see other androids' faces."

"..."

Yui Masayuki looked at the boy blankly. She had never seen him look so serious before.

Rhodes turned around and looked at the girl.

"Zhengxue, it's not me who intends to save you, and this is not my atonement.

However, if that young man were still alive, he would definitely not stand by and watch his dying compatriot die.

I want to help you, but this is a decision you have to make for yourself."

"I make my own decision..."
