My mother's love song

The bodies of the seven heroic spirits that Rhodes had just killed were being reconstructed by the black sea of ​​life.

"How can this be!?"

The Yin Yang Master shouted: "Is this... a spell of resurrection? The heroic spirits you just killed..."

"How can it be a resurrection?"

Rhode said with disdain, "Heroic spirits are not living beings, so there is no question of resurrection.

What I destroyed just now were only the temporary bodies of the Servants, but I did not let their souls flow into the Holy Grail, but captured them instead. "

"Preventing the soul from entering the Holy Grail and then recreating a new body... can you even do such a thing?"

If we borrow the power of the Mother Goddess of Creation [Tiamat], this kind of thing can certainly be done.

But Rhode did not answer like that. Instead, he glanced at one of the seven heroic spirits and said with a smile: "Haven't you heard about the story of Koga Saburo, the demon who returned from the underworld?"

"........."

It turns out that Ibuki Daimyojin still holds the power of the underworld!

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro was completely fooled by Rhodes.

"Killing and resurrecting a Servant may be degrading to the dignity of a Heroic Spirit, but..."

Rhode stared at Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro and said, "It's better than treating the Heroic Spirit as a soulless puppet, right?"

"……Well."

Knowing that the other party was actually mocking him, the Yin-Yang Master lowered his head in embarrassment.

Then, Tsuchimikado discovered another fact: the Servants whose bodies were reconstructed were out of the control of the manipulation technique.

Looking at the servants approaching him, the man shouted, "Wait, wait a minute! Ruler-sama? What's going on?"

"Hmm? I can't come?"

Rhodes showed an innocent expression: "I didn't destroy your spell, is it because your spell is too fragile?

That won’t do, Tai Guang.

Since you have devoted yourself to the path of evil, you should make practicing spells your first priority, and not spend all your time thinking about conspiracies and intrigues.

Look, this is a big deal, isn't it? "

Before he finished speaking, a red shadow of death approached Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro.

The ownerless Lancer, who had regained consciousness, had a ferocious look on his face and was the first to put the thorn magic spear against his neck.

"Tsk, you are ready now, sorcerer.

To play with someone else's second life without permission... this sin is very serious."

The Yin-Yang Master, who was held hostage by the blue tights spearman, looked at Rhodes and shouted, "...Hurry, hurry and save me, Lord Snake God! I'm going to be killed by these guys!"

"No, didn't I just say that? Just a favor for you."

Rhode smiled happily at the trembling man surrounded by angry Heroic Spirits.

“I’m leaving… From now on, you have to explain it to them yourself.

Fortunately, these guys are basically upright Heroic Spirits with noble character, and there is no Master who has sworn allegiance to them in this world.

If you can explain clearly and sincerely beg for forgiveness, they should be willing to spare your life...if it's just your life."

In the man's desperate eyes, the boy waved goodbye to him, then took the ownerless Rider and walked towards the courtyard exit.

From behind he could hear Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro's screams and pleas for mercy.

Chapter 955 My Nine Sisters~

Perhaps for the full moon ceremony, the shogunate also did some work in private, and the streets of Edo were deserted at night.

Rhodes enjoyed the rare silence and refreshing breeze as he paced through the dark streets.

He looked down to his right, and saw his beautiful peach hair still swaying in the night, standing out particularly well.

A girl who was 20 centimeters shorter than Rhode, wearing a yellow kimono and carrying a two-meter-long sword on her back.

She gives people a strong impression of being out of this world, emitting an aura of strong mystery from head to toe, and is followed by a pure white fox shikigami.

There is often a vague and empty smile on the adorable face, and it is impossible to tell whether it is melancholy and sadness or simply not thinking about anything.

Her golden eyes were both gorgeous and deep, and it was equally hard to tell what she was thinking.

Under the starless night sky, the girl let Rhodes hold her hand and took unsteady steps without saying a word.

A cute girl with furry animal ears and tail, whose real name is Aria Tamamo.

As you can tell from her name, she is a member of the famous Japanese phantom monster group [Tamamo Nine]

In other words, she is one of the eight incarnations that were transformed from the eight tails that Tamamonomae cut off during the Heian period.

Like Rhodes, who was given the Ruler class, Aria Tamamo is also a masterless Servant summoned by the waxing moon, and her class is Rider.

As the only yellow member of the Tamamo Squad without any combat ability, why was Tamamo Aria given the rank of Rider? Even Rhode did not know the reason.

"Sister Aria, you really don't remember me?"

Rod regards Amaterasu, who raised him, and Tamamonomae, the side of her divinity that was separated from her, as his sisters.

In the same way, the tails cut off from Tamamonomae and the members of the Tamamo Nine were also regarded by him as sisters.

The wild beast Tamamo cat, the seaside hunter Tamamo shark, Tamamo Gucci who loves luxury goods, Tamamo model who believes in her own family, Tamamo princess who enjoys the life of a princess, and so on...

Of course, this also includes Aria Tamamo, who has an incredible personality.

Hearing the boy's voice, the girl with animal ears looked over slowly.

Her pink hair swayed in the air and Aria Tamamo shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Master Ruler. I have no memory of you."

The girl spoke as slowly as her personality.

If the normal person's speaking speed is 1, then Tamamonomae's speaking speed is probably 2, and her speaking speed is only 0.5 at most.

"That's it..."

Rhodes muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

"I thought you would remember."

"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"

"No, Ari... Rider doesn't need to apologize."

Rhode hesitated for a moment, then changed his address from "Sister Aria" to Rider.

Tamamo Aria said apologetically, "Because I am a Servant summoned by the spiritual vein itself... Please bear with me in this regard."

Although Ushi Gozen also has no memory of herself, she is a Heroic Spirit summoned in the form of a young girl [Lily] after all, so it is normal for her to have no memory of her adult life.

But that's not the case with Tamamo Aria.

After learning that she didn't recognize him, Rhodes felt somewhat regretful.

In fact, although Tamamono Aria was an old acquaintance of Rhodes and he had met the eight Tamamono spirits several times in his previous life in the Heian period, and even though they occasionally met in modern times, he still knew very little about this incredible Tamamono.

Compared to Tamamonomae Ryo and the other seven people who had distinct and straightforward personalities, Rhode could never understand what Aria was thinking.

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end here.

When they reached a street corner, Aria Tamamo broke the silence.

"Master Ruler, thank you very much for your help tonight. If it weren't for you, I would have been controlled by the criminals."

"Well, don't take it to heart. I just can't stand that guy breaking the rules of the Waxing Moon Ceremony."

Aria Tamamo said with some admiration: "I see... Ruler-sama is really a fair judge, so amazing."

"not bad."

Rhodes responded absentmindedly, then suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, are you used to life in Edo?"

"Master Ruler, why do you care about my life?"

The girl's face, full of doubt, can be described as innocent.

Looking at that innocent and lovely face, Rhodes didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Because Rider is very weak. His combat power was originally about the same as the Onmyojis that can be found everywhere, but now he has no Master...

What if I get bullied by ronin or gangsters? I will be so worried that I won’t be able to sleep. "

Rhodes couldn't say such words.

"Managing the lives of servants without masters is also part of the Ruler's job."

Rod tells a made-up lie.

How could he care about the life and death of other masterless servants... the boy thought.

"Ruler-sama's work is really hard... but it is also very remarkable."

The innocent virgin spirit believed it. She thought for a while, poking her finger at her chin and said.

"Please don't worry about me, Master Ruler.

During the time I was sleeping rough on the streets of Edo, everyone was very friendly and welcoming to me.

Every day, samurai invite me to live with them in their homes."

I'm even more worried! Tamamo Aria is going to become Tamamo Sayu!

As if she had seen through Rhode's uneasiness, Aria Tamamo said with a smile, "But I rejected everyone's kindness.

Because I want to wait quietly for good things to happen. "

"A blessing?"

"Isn't there a saying that a blessed person doesn't have to be busy? I'm looking for something.

But I don’t have a place to sit back and enjoy the blessings, so I decided to wait patiently every day for good things to come.”

In other words, as a masterless servant, this guy does nothing every day. He just sits on the street with his Shikigami, waiting for good things to fall from the sky.

"Rider, is there anything you want?"

"Well, but that is not something that can be easily obtained~"

"Oh, I hope we can find it." Rhodes said.

"Don't worry, Master Ruler. I've already found what I was looking for."

"real or fake."

Rhode asked in surprise, and Tamamo Aria nodded seriously.

"Yeah. I like beautiful things the most.

Whether it is a crystal clear gem or a painting full of deep emotions.

The sea at sunset, the couple in love, today’s sky… I want to possess them all.”

The girl suddenly stood on tiptoe and came in front of Rhodes.

"So, I want to get you...Master Ruler."

The young man was speechless and said, "...You and I just met tonight, right?"

Although I have known you for a long time.

“It has nothing to do with the time we’ve spent together, I was moved by your majestic presence tonight.

Just like the samurai who saves the girl in a fairy tale, Ruler-sama is so handsome. "

Aria Tamamo said with a dazed look in her eyes: "Can I come to your house tonight?"

But the girl's eyes seemed to be erratic at all times, so Rhode was unable to figure out her true meaning.

At least in Rhode's opinion, she was a more confusing girl than Tamamonomae in every sense.

"It's a little inconvenient tonight."
