My mother's love song

If he really goes crazy, no one can do anything about it. Not to mention me, you and the people of Yoshiwara will die at his hands.

If he wants to leave, let him go. You should cherish this life that was spared and feel lucky."

"No, that won't do, Kama-kun."

"……Um?"

"Berserker has been protecting Yoshiwara for me. He has been protecting this place since the beginning of the ritual.

I can’t just… leave it like that.”

Takao Taifu said: "To save oneself, one must exploit the lives of others and trample on their hearts.

If I agree with this, what's the difference between me and those guys who seduced Yoshiwara women and then abandoned them?

Since we have already formed a bond, I will do my best to stop him and will never give up on him easily!"

Upon hearing this, Kama gave an expression that said, “Ah, ah… I’m in trouble.”

Staring at the master who was full of fighting spirit, the goddess sighed softly.

Since you gave me beautiful clothes and shaved ice, I'll help you this time reluctantly... Alas.

……

……

……

In Edo, in the residence owned by the Onmyoji family Tsuchimikado.

Late at night, the compound exudes an eerie sense of oppression.

Several black shadows were kneeling on one knee, standing there in a state that could be called standby.

Saber without a master.

The ownerless Lancer.

The ownerless Archer.

A masterless Rider.

Assassin without a master.

Ownerless Berserker.

and Assassin, who was once under the command of Dorothea Coyette.

The seven heroic spirits and seven pairs of red eyes release a chilling presence in the dead of night, making the Onmyoji Ryo a place like a demonic realm.

""

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro, the instigator of the Waxing Moon Ceremony and the man behind it, looked at the heroic spirits who surrendered to him.

After being silent for a long time, he finally calmed down his agitated heart.

"In this way, the chess pieces in my hand are complete."

The Yin-Yang Master looked at the heroic army in the yard that was powerful enough to destroy a country, and his mouth curled up in satisfaction.

"But is the Holy Grail War really that simple?

Although I didn't expect that several servants would escape the shackles of the moon

Humph, the situation is already decided. All we have to do next is wipe out those rebels in one fell swoop."

"Although there are only a few enemies left, if they gather together and attack here, it may turn the tide."

A voice even more gloomy than Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro's sounded in the courtyard.

The eighth Servant, who had released his spirit form, also appeared.

Unlike the other seven riders, this Heroic Spirit whose eyes are not crimson is the original Servant of this Full Moon Ceremony.

Caster, Hieda Ali.

A person who existed between the Asuka period and the Nara period in Japan, which is equivalent to the early Tang Dynasty in China.

Hieda Arei was originally a samurai in the imperial household who was in charge of chores. It is said that he was knowledgeable and had an excellent memory, which enabled him to understand the contents of books by heart. Even books without explanations on hiragana, katakana, or pronunciation were so well known to him that he could recite them in detail. In particular, he could recite historical materials such as the "Teiki" and "Kyusai".

Therefore, in 681, Emperor Tenmu summoned Taian Manro to record what Hieda Arei had recited orally and compiled it into three volumes of the Kojiki.

Just like his unusually gloomy temperament and appearance that hides half of his face, Hieda Ali is a neurotic, withdrawn, lifeless... man.

Although he has almost no direct combat capability, he also possesses extremely unusual auxiliary capabilities. The Ceremony of the Full Moon was only possible because of his existence.

Since he is not a writer, Hieda Ali sticks to recording rather than creating, and also calls himself a Recorder in his self-introduction.

In response to Caster's pertinent warning, Onmyoji responded.

"Indeed. I know that without your record.

But don't worry. I certainly thought carefully before collecting these pieces."

"Whatever you want. I'll act on my own will anyway."

After Caster said this coldly, his presence completely disappeared.

"So, where is the last Servant?"

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro muttered to himself.

For this ceremony, it is not enough to rely on only seven Servants [Souls] that have made a contract with the petitioner.

Because it is an inferior Holy Grail, it needs one last noble soul to come to complete the waxing moon.

Just as he was troubled by this problem, the array of heroic spirits behind him raised their heads one after another, as if to tell the Onmyoji that something was wrong.

Of course, Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro, who controlled the barrier within the mansion, also sensed the presence of the intruder.

The person who came was not an enemy, but he could not be called a companion either.

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro looked towards the entrance of the compound and listened nervously to the sound of steady footsteps coming from the darkness.

A few seconds later, a young man with demonic light green hair and enchanting red eyes appeared in the courtyard of the mansion.

It was the Ruler summoned by Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro as a backup plan for this ceremony.

Although no one knows why he appeared in the form of a young boy and called himself "Rod", the Onmyoji is sure that he is undoubtedly the Ibuki Daimyojin of Mt. Ibuki.

The biggest and most powerful catastrophic dragon in Japanese mythology - Yamata no Orochi.

Do whatever you want, be unrestrained and be the only one who cares about yourself.

They act completely in accordance with their primitive desires and will not pay any attention to any opinions from here.

Although he looks like he is indulging in the pleasures of beauties, fine wine and delicious food, once he bares his fangs, his true vicious nature will be revealed.

...What a formidable monster that was summoned, Tsuchimikado thought.

If the manipulation technique hidden in the waxing moon fails to work and he cannot control the masterless Servants, he will have to rely on the power of the Great Snake God... That was what he originally thought.

But now?

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro glanced at the seven heroic spirits behind him and asked calmly.

"You've been missing for over a week and haven't contacted me. Where have you been? And what are you doing here tonight?"

"……what?"

The boy's brows were slightly frowned, and even though his facial features were distorted, he still exuded a magical beauty that transcended gender.

Rhodes completely ignored the servants behind him and stared at the Onmyoji's face before speaking.

"Hey... Tai Guang, you're not talking to me, are you? What's that tone?"

"Uh."

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro's body suddenly stiffened, his mouth half open, not knowing whether to explain or say something.

"Why are you standing here talking to me?"

Rhode refused to give in and continued with a sarcastic smile: "Ah... Do you think you have become successful?"

"........."

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro clenched his back teeth and knelt down in front of the boy tremblingly.

"It's been a long time since I last met you... Ruler-sama."

“Oh my, you’ve really made it big, Tai Guang.

I thought you had forgotten even the most basic etiquette."

Rhodes put one hand on his waist, admiring his seat with a happy look on his face and said.

"Even the prostitute you met during the day knew how to treat someone of higher status than herself..."

If you can't figure it out, the future of the Tsuchimikado family will be bleak."

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro asked cautiously, "Were you...were you also at Miura-ya at that time?"

"I'm hugging a woman next door."

"I see. You should have said hello to me then."

"Will you pay for me?"

"Of course."

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro responded while feeling extremely annoyed in his heart.

This is terrible! I had to let this guy see my conversation with Takao Taifu!

"Humph."

Rhodes ignored the Yin-Yang Master and wandered around the yard.

When he walked up to the Seven Heroic Spirits who were kneeling on one knee, Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro's heart was in his throat.

He didn't know what the other party was trying to do, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Rhodes circled in front of the Servants and stopped in front of the Masterless Rider.

Ownerless Rider is a beautiful girl with furry animal ears and tail, and smooth peach hair.

Rhodes reached out and lifted her delicate chin, pinching her expressionless chubby face.

Are you looking for a woman?

As Tsuchimikado was thinking this, Rod suddenly spoke to him.

"Hmm~ The manipulation technique was quite successful. You are quite capable, Tai Guang."

"Thank you for the compliment... This is all thanks to you."

"Don't be silly. Tell me what I did."

"Uh……"

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro was speechless, and Rod smiled.

"See, I can't tell you. You're actually thinking...

"This guy didn't do anything at all. He just drank and played with women every day. How dare he pretend in front of me!", right? "

"…I dare not."

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro's voice was low.

Although he denied it verbally, he really thought so in his heart.

If I had known that the manipulation technique would succeed, I would never have summoned you, a time bomb!

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro now only felt that Rod's existence was an obstacle.

His strength is unfathomable, and he simply does not accept other people's opinions, which makes Onmyoji feel helpless.

Can you win?

If the seven heroic spirits under his control rushed forward, could they defeat this most ancient and powerful natural disaster?

"…Want to give it a try?"

The moment Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro had the idea of ​​rebellion, Rod squatted in front of him and revealed his signature evil smile.

"I will end your Holy Grail War in an instant."
