My mother's love song

"It's obviously a demon?"

“Because he’s a demon, Kishua.

Anyway, I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me. How can I not get involved in such a rare event like Renri's burning? "

As the boy was speaking, a loud roar came from the other end of the phone, like the sound of a treasure exploding.

"Ohhh, the light belt is activated! So powerful! If it is fully released, it can directly blast through the earth, right? I can't win this!

Now, have you ever seen a world where the earth has been pierced through?"

After a moment's hesitation, the old man replied, "...not uncommon."

The young man muttered to himself, "Is that so? The universe is really vast. The earth is really full of disasters."

Is it your turn to say such things, the old man thought.

"There is only one thing I want to confirm with you."

While he was speaking, the pages of the book were turning faster than ever before.

A human face and the person's intelligence parameters are reflected on the pages.

Sometimes it's a man, sometimes it's a woman.

Sometimes he is an old man, sometimes he is a child.

Sometimes he is a saint, sometimes he is a murderer.

Sometimes he is a magician, sometimes he is a priest.

Various factors such as race, gender, age, physique, clothing, personality, occupation, etc. are constantly changing, and the book turns pages with amazing momentum.

The old man flipped through the pages of the book to read the information while talking on the phone behind him.

“I have no problem with your ambition, that’s the seat you deserve.

But after you've 'got it,' what are you going to do with that light strip?"

"It would be nice to eat it yourself or give it to my mother as a gift. It would also be fine to give it to my wives to make new weapons. But..."

The boy paused and said, "Don't worry, I will return the heat to human history."

"I see. In that case, I have no objection to your approach. I wish you good luck."

After exchanging a conversation whose meaning only they could understand, the sound of turning pages gradually weakened and finally stopped at a certain page.

The boy on the other end of the phone said happily while admiring the characters depicted in the book:

"I don't look as handsome in this photo as I do in real life."

The picture in the book shows a young man.

With golden hair and emerald eyes, he looks to be a handsome man in his twenties.

Under the portrait is a name beginning with A.

Then, under the name, in the text that looked like a resume, there was a line written: "The Key of Solomon~Goetia~".

……

……

……

In the distant time and space, the last stronghold of mankind is in danger.

"The logical defense wall, the final wall is destroyed! The demon pillars have invaded Chaldea!"

Da Vinci no longer had time to remain calm, and gave instructions with his face almost touching the screen.

"Seal off all the partition walls! Have you already done it? So that's it! Then inject ether blocks into the channel!

This should be enough to hold out for a while! To be specific, about five minutes! Take advantage of this time and go to my workshop for shelter!"

It should be able to hold out there for a while! Abandon the control room."

With cold sweat on his cheeks, Da Vinci gritted his teeth and decided to give up supporting Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It has ended.

Mashu was killed in battle and Chaldea was defeated.

The final battle for human dignity ends here.

Next comes the time to survive.

Even if the end is certain death.

As Chaldea's commander's assistant, she wanted to keep the staff alive for at least one minute longer.

but

"That won't work! Giving up the control room would be the same as giving up the basket!"

"Mashu...Mashu Kyrielight insisted on protecting Ritsuka until the very last moment!"

The voices of rebuttal rang out one after another in the control room.

"We can't give up the return of our Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and we can't give up our soul transfer!"

Da Vinci was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly.

"Ah, that's true. If that's the case, then I'll have to figure out a solution from now on.

Is it a bad thing or something to be thankful for that the image of the scene can only be barely reflected?

Now that things have come to this, we can only make a last-ditch effort...Romani?"

She looked at the acting director who had been silent since a while ago.

Romani lowered his head and muttered to himself: “…the value of the future.

Mashu. Since you said so, I have no choice but to be prepared. "

"What? Is this really what you want to do?"

Reflected in Da Vinci's eyes was an expression completely different from the usual indecisive and somewhat frivolous Romani.

This made her chest tighten.

The acting director and doctor of Chaldea, Romani Akiman, is no longer here, and the man standing here now is a man who has made a realization.

"Yes. Judging from the situation, now is the most appropriate time. I have already seen Goetia's limit.

In the past, I was a man who only participated in wars that he could win.

With all that said, the defense of the control room is your job, Leonardo.

Before Ritsuka comes back, you must defend this place with all your might. You can do it, you are a genius after all."

Taking off the employee badge that had been hanging around his neck for more than a few years, he turned around resolutely.

Looking at Romani's back, Da Vinci tried to smile, but she failed.

Knowing what was going to happen next, she couldn't laugh.

Leonardo da Vinci clearly wanted to be able to bid farewell to him in a relaxed mood at the end, but there are things that even an omnipotent person cannot do.

So, she used the same tone she usually used when she asked Romani to bring her a lunch box from the cafeteria, and said calmly, "...I understand. Go ahead, I'll be looking forward to your souvenirs."

Under the gaze of all the staff, Romani left without hesitation.

……

……

……

The Crown Temple of Time.

Romani walked steadily to Fujimaru Ritsuka and patted her shoulder.

“Yo. You’ve put up a pretty good fight, Ritsuka.

Although it’s a pity that I stole the spotlight in the end, it’s my turn to perform in the next period of time.”

"Why? Without the qualifications for soul particle transfer... you can't enter here."

"I'll be back soon. It's nothing, it will be resolved quickly. I'll hand over the baton to you next."

Without answering Ritsuka's question, Romani walked past her and came to the front to confront the First Beast.

Looking at his back, Fujimaru Ritsuka's body suddenly trembled.

Something bad is going to happen.

Something important will be lost.

Such a desperate premonition was hitting her.

Goetia glanced at the man in the white coat with disdain: "Are you Romani Achiman? How can a mere human appear on this throne?"

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"...Wait a minute. You, what is your spiritual base!?"

Seeing his reaction, Romani smiled maliciously and spoke.

"Yes. I have given up the wish I made to the Holy Grail. From now on, my words and actions will be those of my original self.

Before that, you need to take off your gloves first. This way, it will be easier to understand the various questions, right? "

He took off the white gloves that symbolize his doctor's identity.

Then, he showed Goetia a golden ring on the middle finger of his left hand.

"The tenth ring... you, could it be!"

Solomon's Ten Commandments.

Those are the rings given by God to the King of Magic to be worn on his ten fingers. They are the proof that he is the ancestor of magic and the king of magic.

Goetia, who inherited everything from Solomon, also held ten rings in his hand, but the ring on the middle finger of his left hand was a fake.

Then, the identity of the person showing the ring to me is self-evident.

Romani said, "Well, I am none other than Caster Solomon, the first Heroic Spirit summoned by Chaldea."

Ritsuka: “Eh!?”

Romani calmly explained what happened 11 years ago.

"Chaldea's chief, Marisbilly, prepared the Supreme Relic when he participated in the Holy Grail War.

That is the ring. When King Solomon died, he left it as a gift to the distant future.

I don't know why I did such a thing at that time. I thought it was just a whim of the gods as always.

However, the ring was discovered by Marisbury and used to summon heroic spirits in order to win the Holy Grail War.

Solomon is the first Heroic Spirit summoned by Chaldea. He is a Heroic Spirit who obtained the Holy Grail together with Marisbili and fulfilled his wishes together.

But what he said was just a common wish, "I want to become a human being."

"You bastard...you bastard! This is ridiculous, it's impossible!"

For the first time, Goetia expressed such excitement: "Flaurus, are you blind?

No, that's not right, everything is wrong, everything! You can't be that man!

And what about fulfilling wishes? How could that man have a wish?

Cold! Cruel! Merciless! How could a man who created a demon god [a fictional devil] based on himself have the desire to become an ordinary person! "

Romani smiled bitterly and said, "...I am still quite shocked by what you said. You don't hate me too much, do you?

But never mind. The question is irrelevant. Anyway, Solomon got his wish.”

But, that's where the problem arises.

Solomon is a clairvoyant who is known to be omniscient and almighty. The moment he becomes a human, he loses all his abilities.

That alone is not all…but at the moment of “losing everything”, he saw the end of humanity.

He immediately wanted to know "why this happened", but by then, Solomon had become an ordinary human being.

Who is it, for what purpose, and how to stop it.
