My mother's love song

The king who loves all worldly things

The so-called tyrant is a monster who is obsessed with self-expression.

They are absolutely opposite to creatures like magicians.

It is said that the Roman Emperor Nero also rejected the magician's teachings on the grounds that they were "not conspicuous enough!"

Even among modern magicians, Tōsaka Tokiomi is an extremely pure one, so it is not unreasonable for him to feel helpless against Gilgamesh.

"You have been talking to yourself all the time, my king."

New voices emerged in the church basement.

"…Wow, is there another bastard barking here?"

Facing Jack the Ripper who hid himself in front of the king and challenged him with words, Gilgamesh drank the wine in the cup with a smile.

"Look, Kirei, this is the typical clown, weak, incompetent, blind and worthless, and he can't even remember who he is in his entire life.

He actually still wants to rely on the Holy Grail to understand his past. It makes me sick!

Well, but... he can bring me more fun than Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Feel honored! Berserker, I will kill you myself later."

"...Hey, Master, this guy is terrible."

If Jack the Ripper had a physical body right now, he would definitely be pursing his lips.

"Let's go quickly. If we stay with this kind of person for too long, our brains will go haywire."

"Shut up, clown. Just stand there and remind me what kind of bastard you are."

Gilgamesh turned to Kotomine Kirei again, his red eyes flashing with enchanting light: "What about you? Kirei, what is your wish?"

"I……"

He fell into a long silence, and the Golden Archer said with a smile.

"Is this kind of thing so confusing? Isn't it just a matter of pure pursuit of pleasure?"

"!"

Kotomine Kirei's eyebrows jumped.

Archer's words were like a hand, grasping the softest part of his heart.

……

……

……

at the same time.

In a warehouse filled with weapons in Fuyuki.

Emiya Kiritsugu sat alone at his workbench, his mind immersed in the shock of the sea monster attacking Tokyo Bay.

The thought that a monster like that might appear in the city next time made him feel uneasy for a long time.

Almost there...

As long as the Holy Grail can be obtained, all the evil in this world will be eliminated.

Such monsters will surely no longer exist.

Today he did not contact Irisviel and Maiya regularly, nor did he continue with the assassination plan for Kenneth that had been put on hold for several days.

There is one thing that he cares about very much and it has always lingered in the mind of the magician killer.

On the workbench in front of Emiya Kiritsugu were the communicator and scope that Hisau Maiya would use tonight.

According to Maiya, these two pieces of equipment broke down at the same time a few nights ago.

but

"Actually... there is no malfunction."

Looking at the communicator in his hand, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression became solemn.

Chapter 049 Enthusiastic Citizen Mr. Luo

No matter who you look at it from, Aoi Tousaka is a perfect wife.

Needless to say, her appearance is beautiful, her figure is graceful, and her smooth long hair is the envy of countless people.

As for her inner self, if I were to use one word to describe her, it would be Yamato Nadeshiko.

She is dignified and cautious, and she is careful about everything. She understands her husband but never interferes. She values ​​loyalty and fulfilling one's duty more than love.

Toosaka Aoi is simply the model of a good wife and mother in ancient times.

However, such a strong woman has been living in sorrow silently for more than a year.

It all started a year ago.

Although Toosaka Aoi did not learn magic, she knew very well that her two daughters were very outstanding and were magic geniuses that only appear once in a century.

He is so talented that even the famous magic family Matou, an ally of the Tousaka family, is jealous of him.

More than a year ago, Toosaka Tokiomi responded to the long-standing request of the Matou family and adopted his second daughter, Toosaka Sakura, to the Matou family.

In the world of magicians, each family can only have one heir.

In the world of magic, the greatest legacy that parents can leave to their children is not wealth or knowledge, but [Magic Mark].

Relying on the accumulation and continuation of magic seals, the magician society has formed a typical aristocratic world that becomes more powerful as it gets older.

In a magician family, the child who inherits the magic mark will get everything, while the rest of the children will get nothing.

Therefore, it is very sad to have two geniuses in the same generation like Rin and Sakura.

"Sakura's talent should not be buried. If it were her, she would definitely be able to achieve more."

After saying this to his wife, the head of the Tōsaka family decided to let his second daughter go to the Matou family to inherit the magic seal there.

Mothers and children, sisters and younger sisters were forced to separate.

Sometimes, Toosaka Aoi would secretly wonder: What her husband said about giving Sakura a brighter future...was it as a magician? Or as a human?

However, since it was the decision of the head of the Tousaka family, Tousaka Aoi felt that she had no right to express her opinion.

Ever since she decided to marry into the Toosaka family, she had realized that she could not pursue the happiness of an ordinary family.

Since parting with her daughter, Toosaka Aoi has been immersed in unspeakable sadness.

Then, a month ago, her sadness escalated further when the Matou family who adopted Sakura were wiped out.

When she learned that the Matou mansion was burned down and Matou Sakura's whereabouts were unknown, Aoi, who thought she had shed all her tears, finally couldn't hold back her emotions and burst into tears.

From that day on, the wife of the Toosaka family changed her temperament drastically.

Aoi lost the gentle smile that was always on her face and became taciturn and neurotic.

……

……

That night, Toosaka Aoi was walking on the winter streets of Shinto wearing only a single layer of clothing and a scarf.

She had this strange hobby since a long time ago, wandering alone in the city at night.

For a lady, this is not really a good hobby.

However, Tōsaka Tokiomi thought it was nothing.

In her husband's eyes, the entire Fuyuki City was considered Toosaka's territory.

He was the shadow ruler of this city, controlling the spiritual veins, and there was nothing wrong with his wife wanting to take an elegant stroll in their back garden.

Therefore, Toosaka Aoi's interest in this field continued.

The deserted streets late at night, the dim lights of the street lamps made the darkness and silence seem a little scary.

Mental fatigue has reached its limit, and Toosaka Aoi wanders around with an expressionless face.

"Ma'am, you must be lonely hanging out outside so late."

"Is it because your husband can't satisfy you? Hahahaha!"

I could hear the men's dirty words.

Toosaka Aoi looked over with hollow eyes and saw four men.

Some have dyed yellow hair, some have dark skin, but they all look very young.

With lewd gleams in their eyes, the men all stared at Toosaka Aoi's feminine curves that could not be hidden by a single layer of clothing.

"No, no, no, anyone wandering the streets at this time is a prostitute!"

"Hahahaha! Are streetwalkers now dressing like rich ladies? Japan is really wild."

"..."

Toosaka Aoi ignored them, quickened her pace, and walked forward along the street lights.

"Hey! Don't go!"

One of the yellow-haired men reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"What do you mean, ma'am? You're ignoring us."

"Please let me go."

Toosaka Aoi lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Please let me go, or else"

After hearing her words, the men looked at each other and showed mocking expressions.

"Haha! What will happen if I don't let go?"

Her wrist was grabbed tightly and Toosaka Aoi frowned.

"……Well."

If it were in the past, the Tousaka family's familiar would have appeared from the darkness and driven away the uninvited guest.

However, the familiar did not show up tonight to protect the mistress of the Toosaka family.

...Ah, Aoi suddenly realized.

By the way, the Holy Grail War has already begun.

My husband is busy preparing for war and has asked me to leave Fuyuki City.

I left Rin alone at her parents' house tonight and went to wander around Fuyuki.

"Ma'am, would you please come with us to the hotel next door and have a good chat?"

"No, please let go."

"Huh? How can you talk to us like that!!!"

The man suddenly raised his voice, shocking Toosaka Aoi so much that her body trembled.

This is a common tactic used by gangsters to intimidate and coerce decent women. All they have to do next is drag her into the alley.

Their eyes flashed with murderous intent, and they were already thinking about how to humiliate the married woman next.

"Please let me go, my daughter is waiting for me at home."

Trying hard to suppress the trembling of her lips and the fear in her heart, Toosaka Aoi shook her arms vigorously.

"Daughter? Otherwise, just ask your daughter to come and play with you."

"Yes, yes. I like little girls the best. Madam, how many daughters do you have?"

"!!!"

Toosaka Aoi, whose body was shaken by the sudden attack, bit her lower lip and stared at them intently.
