My mother's love song

"What are you doing, Rod? You brought me to a place like this. Could it be that you want to kiss me again?"

"nothing……"

At this moment, Rhodes looked at something behind Ishtar and was stunned.

He subconsciously let go of the goddess's arm.

"Excuse me, Ishtar. Could you wait for me in the restaurant for a while? I suddenly remembered something I need to do."

“…Eh!? I’m having a great time strolling around!”

Ishtar puffed up her pretty face.

"It's really inexplicable! One moment they dragged someone to an alley, and the next moment they let them go back alone!"

Just when the goddess was about to complain and act like a spoiled brat as usual, she noticed that Rhode's face was not looking good.

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you later. Be obedient, okay?" Rhodes said sincerely.

"...Hmm. Since Rod said so, I understand... Hurry and come back soon, okay?"

"it is good."

Ishtar looked back every few steps as she disappeared around the corner ahead.

After making sure the goddess had gone far away, Rhodes walked deeper into the alley.

There, sat an old man in ragged clothes and with a hunched back.

"Are you here to take my head... Scarlet Beast?"

ps. Tomorrow there will be three updates with 12000 words

Chapter 156: The Crown-Recognized Mama's Boy

The alley, which is only a few blocks away from the commercial street, seems out of place in the vibrant city because it is not exposed to sunlight all year round.

The old man, sitting cross-legged on the ground with a hunched back, looks like a statue, blending into the environment.

"Are you here to take my head, Scarlet Beast?"

As Rhodes approached, the ragged old man raised his head slightly.

To ordinary people, he was just an old beggar with shaking legs.

The face under the cloak was thin, but he had a pair of bright and clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.

Rod knew his real name.

His name was Hassan al-Sabah, the founder of the first Assassin, the first Assassin.

Good man, you’re just going to stop acting, right?

He was originally planning to pretend to be a normal little boy passing by and try to get close to him, but the old man ended up telling him his real name.

Rhodes said with a sneer.

"I don't want your head! Besides, what kind of outfit are you wearing? Are you trying to gain my sympathy, Azrael?"

He calls the old man Azrael.

In Islam, an archangel who appears under divine command to announce death to the world.

That is the name that the first Hassan was given in history.

"Young beast... the evil of compassion is an emotion that does not exist in you."

The hoarse, old voice echoed in the alley.

"I am dressed like this, just waiting for the man of destiny who can calm the primordial tide."

I see. Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and the others have already arrived.

Rod Knows It All: In the FGO plot, King Hassan once disguised himself as an old man called "Zhusudra", waiting for an encounter with Chaldea.

In the Type-Moon world, there is a concept called the "Grand Seven".

The so-called [Crown] is the killer weapon used by the restraining force to fight against [human evil], and its true nature is [Anti-Beast Duel Tactics].

When the Beast appears and intends to destroy human history, the restraining force will select suitable servants, grant them the crown spiritual base equivalent to the power of the gods, and join them in the fight against the Beast.

The first generation Old Man of the Mountain was one of the Seven Riders, the [Grand Assassin] who helped Chaldea defeat Tiamat in the Seventh Singularity.

In recent years, due to Type-Moon's traditional book-eating, the positioning of [Grand Rank] has become worse day by day, from the original "Top of Heroic Spirits" to today's "Decisive Battle Buff".

Although the crown position was not good, the first generation Hassan was different.

It was precisely because of his performance and style that the Moon People at that time had infinite fantasies about other [Champions] who had not yet appeared.

Is there a possibility...

It's not that Type-Moon is eating the book, but King Hassan has brought the crown to a height that they shouldn't have?

"Hmm... so what's going on? Why are you fighting with me here?"

Rhodes said: “Think about it carefully, Azrael, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Even if I were you, I might be able to win now, after all, I only have one head now."

"..."

The old man was speechless for a long time. He knew very well what the youngest son who appeared here was.

There are seven kinds of evil that come from human beings.

Among them, he is the Beast of the End, who possesses a completely opposite nature to the Mother of Origin and is the greatest enemy of the Church.

Although the sect believes in the same "Lord" as the Church, it does not recognize the existence of the Son Messiah.

Naturally, they will not acknowledge the "enemy" that is dialectically opposed to Jesus Christ.

For Weng, a believer and messenger, BeastVI is a blasphemous existence that cannot be tolerated in any way.

The old man's voice was like a sigh.

"...Can you hear the sound of the bell? Do you know your destiny?"

Facing the angel of death's declaration, Rhodes responded with a grin.

"I can't hear anything at all."

"That's right. The Lord has not named you, so the evening bell will not fall on you... I am not qualified to fight you."

"Eh~ Is that really the case?" The boy let out a bored sigh.

I originally thought I could use my most powerful and invincible Noble Phantasm.

Having said that, Rhodes actually knew it very well.

Although the [Crown] is the enemy of [Human Evil], it is limited to the evil that is manifest.

The Old Man of the Mountain who was summoned to this era has only Tiamat as his mission.

If not for this, he would have just killed Fu Fu with one blow in the game.

"Well, I'm not going to kill you. I'll be leaving now."

Rhodes turned and waved at him, preparing to go back to find Ishtar.

"Take care, Wang Hassan."

"interesting."

The old man in the mountain spoke calmly to his back.

"The title of King Hassan should only be known to those who were at the Azrael Temple that day."

"..."

Oops, I spilled the beans.

King Hassan.

This was the nickname given to the old man in the mountains by Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others in the sixth singularity, so there was no way Rhodes knew it.

"Young beast, I will not take any action on my own during this manifestation, nor will I hinder your actions. So just let go and do what you want."

"what?"

Rhodes stopped and turned around.

"What did you say?"

"Although you are the master's enemy, I have decided to entrust my trust to you this time."

King Hassan...are you planning to form an alliance with me?

Rhodes was secretly surprised, but still acted indifferent.

"What's the reason? Is it destiny? Or... is it the Lord's will?"

Weng answered in a calm voice.

"But your pure love for your mother is touching."

"…………Humph, mind your own business."

Rhodes suddenly realized and showed an unhappy expression.

"In the end, Azrael. Did you know from the beginning that I would be here?"

Hearing this, the old man raised the corners of his wrinkled mouth.

"I said... "I am just waiting for the destined person who can calm the primordial tide." "

……

……

……

That afternoon, the Uruk Ziggurat.

Gilgamesh was "friendly"ly meeting the guests brought by Meli in his hall.

Lightning flashes and crackles.

Sparks flew and smoke rose.

"Boring as hell."

Gilgamesh folded the clay tablet called the Divine Seal [Dingir] in his hand and turned around.

Behind him, in the center of the hall, Mashu and Anna stood breathlessly.

After using illusion to escape from the cedar forest, Merry takes them into the Ziggurat of Uruk to visit Gilgamesh.

As a result, as soon as he accepted the audience, the King of Uruk unilaterally challenged the visitors from Chaldea.

Ritsuka, Mashu, and Anna had no choice but to join forces to have a limited sparring match with Gilgamesh.

After throwing hundreds of magic weapons at Mashu and Anna, the King of Uruk unilaterally ended the battle he had started.

“The battle is over…!”

Mashu supported her body with the cross shield and said breathlessly: "Although it happened suddenly, we accepted the challenge unconsciously."

"Hmm, the king doesn't seem very satisfied..."

Ritsuka Fujimaru quietly observed Gilgamesh's expression, and Mash nodded.

"...Yes. From the middle of the battle, he obviously started to let up..."

Anna nodded her little head hidden under the hood: "He thinks he is such a great man..."

"Boring as hell."

The Golden King sat back on the Jade Throne and looked down at the foreign girls with angry eyes.

“I thought that the one who carries the destiny must be capable, so I played with you for a while, but it turns out you are just a bunch of bastards!

You are not worthy of my help, nor are you worth being used by me!

I don't even bother to investigate you for the crime of soiling the throne! I'll let you off this time and let you go back to the furnace for retraining!"
