My mother's love song

……

The time is nine o'clock in the evening.

There was a knock on Rod's door.

"Caster, I'm here."

The person who walked in through the door was Black Caster's Master, Aika Sajō.

At dinner today, Rhodes had asked her to come to his room after 9 o'clock.

"Please take a seat."

Rod pulled out a chair for Ai Ge and asked her to sit down.

"So formal."

Aige blinked in confusion and sat down on the chair.

She placed her hands neatly on her thighs and turned to look at the young man: "What do you want from me, Caster?"

Rhodes brought out the black tea that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Aige, then sat down in front of her and sighed softly.

Where to start? It's really a headache.

Today's love song is more sensitive than usual.

"Let's try the black tea first. As expected of the Yugdomrenia clan, it's quite high-end."

"OK, all right."

Aige's graceful posture while sipping tea was like an illustration from a fairy tale, and Rhodes' mind finally settled down.

While her eyes were not on him, Rhode simply said what he wanted to say.

"First of all, I must apologize to you, Master. I have been hiding something from you.

I have known you from the beginning, no... to be precise, I know the Sajo Aika from another world."

It was already the eve of the decisive battle, and Rhode planned to be honest with her and tell her everything he knew.

"Hey~ So Caster already knew me."

Aige narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a very interested expression: "Well... but I already knew about this kind of thing, hehe."

"Really? I think so."

Rhodes was not too surprised.

After all, I know all the details about Ai Ge's living habits very well, for example, the amount of sugar she puts in her black tea.

In daily contact, she is so smart that she should have noticed the clues.

Rhodes then asked, "Aige, how much do you know?"

Aige poked her chubby cheeks with her fingers, tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, “I in the other world should be a very important person to Caster, right?

I can feel that... well, I'm a little envious of that person."

Rhodes nodded and said frankly, "That's right."

"What kind of person is she?" Aige asked curiously, "Is she working already? Or is she studying at university? Ah, could it be that she is Caster's..."

"No, the love song over there is not even 20 years old."

Well, judging from her figure, it would be more accurate to say that she is under 15 years old.

"Almost 10 years younger than me?"

"Just her age, a very troubled creature."

Rhode curled his lips and said with a wry smile: "It's like a goblin, hard to figure out."

"It's rare to see Caster criticizing someone... Hehe, you two really have a good relationship."

Aige·Sashio showed a somewhat lonely look: "If possible, I would like to hear more of your story, but

Caster, you didn't call me here today to tell me this, did you? "

"Yes."

Rhode nodded, and then said word by word: "You in another world

Sajo Aika, she is planning to kill you."

Chapter 402: Empress: Are you two showing off your affection here in front of me?

Thus, the night of the decisive battle arrived with the orange sunset.

It was already past evening when Fiore arrived at where Rhodes and his family lived.

Hearing the knock on the door, Rhodes, who was chatting with everyone in the girls' dormitory, stood up and opened the door.

What appeared before him were Fiore and Celenique in wheelchairs, and Chiron and Kama standing behind them.

"Ah, is it this time already?"

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long. Let's go now, then."

Next they will head to the airport and from there take a plane to the Sky Garden.

Although Rhodes has the strongest flying skills, taking a plane is also a good option.

After less than half an hour's journey, they arrived at the airport.

No one is empty.

Not only the taxis and passengers in front of the airport, but even the guards... there was no one in sight.

"Because it would be troublesome if others saw us, of course we reserved it. From now on, for the next twelve hours, we will be the only ones who can use this airport."

"You said it was packed..."

Hearing Fiore speak so easily, Jeanne could only open her mouth and be speechless.

At the gate of the airport entrance, there were some men in suits who were not guards, standing there like door gods.

Fiore quickly uttered a code-like phrase, and they immediately nodded and opened the door.

"A barrier has been set up around the airport to repel people. No one will approach within a radius of several kilometers."

It was just as Fiore said. In the vast airport, there was no one else to be seen except for them.

There was no receptionist at the front desk, the conveyor belt that usually moved luggage had stopped working, and the electronic bulletin board had gone dark.

"Even though she's my sister, this is really speechless... How much did she spend?"

Perhaps it was just common sense as an ordinary person, Coles couldn't help but mutter helplessly.

"It's no big deal. The money spent on this is just the cost of the five magic costumes I designed. The more problematic thing is the price of the plane. Really, I specifically asked to buy a second-hand plane because it would be destroyed anyway, but why is it so expensive? Fortunately, there are still the assets left by Uncle Danic, which is great."

Fiore mentioned that there were a total of ten second-hand large passenger planes that were purchased, and they were used on the premise that all of them would be destroyed.

This was indeed a sound judgment, as a single aircraft would have been quickly destroyed due to concentrated attacks.

So increasing the probability of survival by throwing out multiple baits... is completely correct as long as the cost is not taken into account.

"Speaking of which, what about the pilots? I can operate them, but the remaining nine planes..."

"Please rest assured. All ten planes have been equipped with puppets equipped with aircraft driving technology. Since the prototype is a puppet cast by Roger, the quality should be completely reliable."

One of the puppet's strengths is that it can "expand" the necessary techniques on its own after being cast.

Fortunately, there were still a few remnants of the humanoid puppets cast by Roger, and it was very simple to use the magic he left behind.

"Well, we're taking the plane over here, so we have to separate now."

As the Masters of Yugdomirenia, Fiore and Celenique will have to act separately from their Servants from now on.

Because before reaching the Sky Garden, they would undoubtedly collide with the Red Rider flying in the air, and if they did not separate, they would most likely be implicated.

Even though he felt unsure, it was still the right decision to let Archer and Assassin take another plane.

Of course, Ai Ge was also with them.

The planes were grouped like this: Jeanne alone, three Masters in a group, Rhodes and Atalanta in a group, and Chiron and Gamo in a group.

Fiore said to Chiron: "...Archer, I wish you good luck in fighting."

"Thank you, Fiore. I will definitely dedicate my victory to you."

After hearing what the Servant said, Fiore shook her head: "You don't have to dedicate yourself to me. I hope you can fight as you wish.

I will unconditionally release the Noble Phantasm. You don't need to wait for my instructions, just use it when you feel it's necessary."

Archer nodded solemnly.

What she said meant that she would give up all will to intervene in the battle and entrust everything to herself.

This is not to unburden oneself, but a proof of complete trust in one's Servant.

"You're still as unsociable as ever."

Rhodes came to Kama.

The purple-haired girl raised her eyebrows and said, "You're so long-winded. I'm different from you. I'm obviously a beast, but I still play house with humans all day long."

“Ah, really… Archer, you have to defeat Rider!”

Rhodes walked over and patted Chiron on the shoulder.

"Yes, thank you. Mr. Caster."

Chiron glanced at the magician and expressed his doubts that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Could it be that you also have experience with Pankrasin?"

"Hmm," Rhodes said with a grin, "I just know a little bit."

……

……

……

"Then I'm going too."

Ruler will board another plane after sanctifying the plane full of explosives.

Unfortunately for her, she and Rhode had to act separately from now on.

Waving the flag is Ruler's responsibility during the landing operation in the Vainglory Sky Garden.

"Be careful, Jeanne."

Hearing Rhodes' call, the Saint smiled faintly: "Let's meet in the courtyard."

Jeanne said this with a smile, then turned her back to Rhodes and Atalanta and left.

Rhodes and his companions also boarded the plane quickly.

The plane started up quickly, and the four turbine engines driving the large passenger plane made a loud roar.

Atalanta held Rhodes' hand and said, "This is my first time on a plane. It's great to be with Master."

Rhodes smiled at her, and at this moment, a voice came from the radio.

"Rod, are you there?"

"……whispering sound."

Atalanta smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, because the voice of this third person belonged to Joan of Arc.

"I'm here, go ahead."

"..."

Although she was the one who spoke first, the saint fell silent as if a little embarrassed.

"Joan of Arc?"

"Why on earth did that plane float?"

Then she abruptly raised this fundamental question.

"In principle, it should be using the powerful thrust and the airflow generated by the wings. What's wrong?"

"What would happen if the wing broke off?"
