My mother's love song

"Well, it was an emergency, that's all I could do at the time."

The witch smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Use Rule Breaker to sever the contract between me and the leyline and forcibly stop the manipulation technique... As expected of Adonis, you react very quickly.

If it were me, I would definitely be at a loss at the time, hehe... No wonder Lady Aphrodite was fascinated by you."

"Okay, stop talking. Just rest first."

Rhodes placed Circe's light body on the bed, but her wrist was tightly grasped.

"Adonis, why do you own Rule Breaker?"

Circe stared at the boy with a sharp look.

A short sword that can break all kinds of magic, Rule Breaker.

It is a conceptual Noble Phantasm that embodies the life of Circe's niece, the rebellious witch Medea.

The concept Noble Phantasm will not be contained in the King's Treasure, and Rule Breaker will not appear in the hands of anyone other than Medea.

"..."

Circe stared at Rhodes very seriously, and seeing that he had no way to evade the question, he had to tell the truth.

"I made a contract with Medea during a Holy Grail War. And we..."

"Ah... no need to say more! I already understand!"

The Eagle Witch stopped him from continuing with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Hehe... I don't really want to hear about my niece's love history."

"Feel sorry."

Seeing the boy's apologetic look, Circe quickly waved her hand.

"Adonis, you don't need to apologize... If that guy can be happy, I should thank you."

At this moment, a call came from outside the door.

"Caster! We're back with the herbs!"

Saber returned with Miyamoto Iori, who had been transformed into a big fat pig.

"I'll go and receive them. You can rest here first."

After Rhodes said this, Circe shook her head and said, "...I have to make herbs for them. I can't let the heroes who have completed the trial be turned away."

Rhodes pushed the Eagle Witch, who was struggling to get up from the bed, back down.

"No problem. For the time being, the witch [Yumia] is also my area of ​​expertise, so leave it to me."

Circe stared at Rhodes' face for a while, and finally nodded slowly.

"Well, then I'll leave them to you."

Rhodes agreed immediately and stood up from the bed, but his wrist was grabbed again.

"what happened?"

Circe made up her mind and asked the gossip question that had been bothering her for a long time.

"The one with you should be Medea... not the younger one [Medea Lily], right?"

"that."

Rhode scratched his cheek and said with shame: "Actually, both of them..."

A few seconds later, the witch's roar exploded in the workshop.

"Bad! You Mediterranean stud!"

Chapter 948: A Harem of Foreign Countries, Cultures, and Races! Season

After that, Rod took Circe's place in making an antidote for Miyamoto Iori, transforming him from a pig back into a human.

"How about checking if there is anything wrong with your body?"

When asked this question, Miyamoto Iori shook his head and said, "Uh, well... no. It's better to say that my physical condition is so good that it makes me feel uneasy."

Saber looked at the cauldron in front of her with surprise: "I didn't expect Ruler to be able to mix herbs. What a surprise!"

Rhode folded his arms proudly in front of his chest: "Humph... Of course, I am omnipotent."

"Well, I really can't imagine anything that Ruler can't do."

Saber stroked her chin and nodded in agreement. At this time, Iori at the side spoke.

"Thank you, Ruler. But why are you here?"

"Oh... yeah! Because your appearance was so natural that I almost forgot about it!

This is Caster's base, right? Where is she? Did you kill her?"

Rhodes explained to them how Circe was controlled and then freed by himself, but of course he did not mention that it was Tsuchimikado who did it.

"Caster is now in retreat at home. Let me commend you on her behalf."

"A commendation? Isn't that an apology? An apology for turning Iori into a pig!"

“No, it’s a commendation.

"Ahem! Congratulations on passing the trial!

Be proud of yourself! You have completed the Great Witch's Trial and have become heroes on your own!

Although I would like to treat you two with oatmeal porridge [Xu Ke Weng] as a reward, unfortunately the Great Witch is not feeling well today, please be sure to visit again another day! ""

"I won't eat the food you give me anymore. Who would be fooled?"

Saber looked very happy, laughing from the bottom of her heart.

After all, no matter how hard he tried to fulfill his father's mission during his lifetime, he could hardly get any praise from the king and the people.

"Even such a powerful witch lady has been controlled..."

Iori asked, his expression looking very worried, but Saber didn't care.

"In this case, we have no choice but to defeat all the masterless Servants... Hmm.

As long as Iori and I work together, even a huge army will be nothing!"

The beautiful boy with pigtails cast a trusting look at the Master. Seeing this, Rhodes said with a mocking smile:

"Saber, you change your tone so quickly.

A few days ago you told Iori "You are too weak" and "Don't hold me back", but now you have completely changed your tune."

Saber didn't know if she was playing dumb or had truly forgotten, and she tilted her head in a silly manner.

"Eh? Really? Did I say anything so outrageous?"

"Yes," Miyamoto Iori replied with a nod of affirmation.

The two members of Team Saber thanked Rhodes again and prepared to leave Circe's spiritual place.

Next, Rhode planned to go into the house to check on the witch lady's condition. Could she have ascended to heaven and returned to the Throne of Heroes?

Just as he was thinking this, Miyamoto Iori walked towards him.

"Ruler, I would like to ask you for advice on emergency measures when a Servant is controlled by a spell."

……

……

……

Inside Rod's magic workshop.

Ogasawara Kaya was preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Yui Masayuki was sitting in the room next door reading a book to pass the time.

Sitting cross-legged and meditating next to the girl was her former Servant, Rider.

Because Kaya had just moved in last night, Masayuki wasn't able to ask Rider about the situation properly.

This morning, Rhode found an excuse to leave the base in a hurry. Therefore, Jing Zhengxue decided to ask clearly tonight.

Why did he hide Rider's affairs from me?

"Rider."

When Yui Masayuki called her softly, Uzumaki opened her eyes and turned her gaze towards the android girl.

"You must... still be holding a grudge against me, the master who easily gave up the Full Moon [Wish]."

“That’s not the case, Zhengxue.

You were dying at the time, and there was nothing wrong with choosing to withdraw from the ceremony in order to survive. No one can blame you."

Although they are no longer in a master-slave relationship, the atmosphere when the two talk is very relaxed from the past and has not changed much from before.

"The one who made the mistake was the man who took advantage of your situation. He took advantage of Masatsuki's dangerous situation and played with your feelings.

Ruler, he is the culprit who destroyed your dream!"

Ugly Gozen clenched his fists and said, "One day I will take revenge on him..."

Yui Masayuki interrupted, "I don't know why you think so, but you are wrong, Rider."

"Hey?"

Seeing Ugly Gozen's surprised expression, the silver-haired girl smiled.

This was the greatest expression of true feelings for a girl who was designed as an artificial human.

“I’m very grateful to Rod and have nothing but gratitude and admiration for him.”

"He killed your ideals in exchange for saving your life...!"

"No, that's not the case."

Yui Masayuki said seriously: "Rod taught me the dignity of life... He didn't save me, but gave me a second life.

After I met Rod, I realized that my past self was just a "device" that wanted to achieve my ideal.

Not living, but moving."

"..."

Yui Masayuki said softly: "I want to correct the world and save humanity.

However, I have never tried to look at the world from a human perspective.

Even if I, who am so ignorant, succeed in making a wish to the full moon...

That would surely be a misinterpreted wish that would lead to destruction."

Yui Masayuki probably had no idea that in a certain parallel world, her wish to "correct the world" was distorted by Rider into the meaning of "destroying everything", and ultimately almost brought about a disaster that burned down the entire Edo.

"..."

Ushiro Gozen remained silent, and Yui Masayuki continued.

"But I'm really surprised that Rider is still in this era... What's your reason for not returning to the Throne of Heroes?"

"The reason is..."

After a moment of silence, Ugly Gozen said, "I will take your place and correct the world once again, on your behalf, as you have given up your ideals."

"wrong."

Yui Masayuki stared straight at the short-haired girl who was much younger than himself: "This is a lie.

Just like your appearance, it is a lie to deceive others."

"I"

The old master's words made Ugly Gozen fall into deep thought.

Indeed, after being summoned, she immediately identified with Yui Masayuki's ideals, and therefore actively longed to correct the world [destroy the world].

But...after her contract with Yui Masayuki ended, was she really still so obsessed with that wish?

Is my obsession so deep that I am even willing to flatter and please that hateful Ruler as a woman?

The demon pursed his lips and said, "I can't figure out why I am stuck in this era."
