My mother's love song

After getting out of the bath, Rod's body exuded a faint shampoo scent, and his handsome face made people's heart beat fast. At this moment, Toosaka Aoi couldn't wait to hold the beautiful boy in her arms as a pillow and sleep.

At this moment, Rhodes suddenly held Toosaka Aoi's hand tightly.

"!"

Aoi's pupils widened slightly.

Why? Even though he didn't say anything, Aoi seemed to have understood the boy's intention.

Her snow-white cheeks were stained with a delicate blush when she just came out of the bath. Toosaka Aoi pursed her lips and nodded shyly.

"..."

Looking at Mrs. Toosaka, whose passion was clearly written on her face, Rhodes knew that all the groundwork had been laid.

Then, it's time to execute the final touch...

"Aoi, should we give Tokiomi a call?"

The group number is on the shelf

Chapter 070: Aoi, Wants to Know the Happiness of a Woman

“Could it be that, Tokiomi, you are deliberately trying to provoke me!?”

Gilgamesh's angry roar broke the silence of the Tohsaka mansion in the middle of the night.

In the living room of the luxurious mansion, the golden archer sat on the sofa in the middle of the room, glaring at the Master who stood beside him like a subject.

The elegant gentleman from the Toosaka family now had an expression of distress and fatigue on his face.

Just last night, the oldest hero king was defeated by an unknown boy, and his precious sword, the Sword of Separation, was taken away by him.

Then the Hero King gambled his kingly way and decided to fight the opponent to the death.

However, this fatal battle was forcibly stopped by Tōsaka Tokiomi using the Command Seals without the King's permission.

The result was obvious. The King of Heroes was furious after returning to the Tohsaka Mansion.

Although Tōsaka Tokiomi was a boring man, Gilgamesh had tolerated him until now considering his loyalty and humility as a subject.

I didn't expect this man to do such a heinous thing. His behavior could be said to have hit the Hero King's sore spot.

Originally, Tokiomi, who had done such a foolish act, should have died as an atonement.

But now Gilgamesh wants to do more than punish him.

That was to immediately return to Einzbern City to find Rod and continue the interrupted revenge battle.

For this purpose, Tōsaka Tokiomi's supply of magic power is necessary.

Gilgamesh forgave him for his act of rebellion and resolved to visit the city of Einzbern again the next night.

结果

"Absolutely not! My king... please put the overall situation first. We must not act rashly before we understand the enemy's weaknesses."

Tōsaka Tokiomi lowered his head, discarding his dignity as a subject, and kept giving advice to the king.

In his opinion, the King of Heroes challenging the young man would be nothing but courting death, but of course he couldn't say that directly, so he could only choose the most euphemistic words possible.

"The Holy Church, as the supervisor, is currently investigating the boy's background.

If it is discovered that he has violated any of the regulations of the Holy Grail War, the Church may issue a notice requiring all participating magicians to pay a fine.

Please stay here for a while, conserve your energy and wait for the next day."

All day today, Tōsaka Tokiomi was at the church discussing countermeasures against Rod with his ally Kotomine Riko.

After a day of discussion, they came to the conclusion that the kind of monster that even the Hero King Gilgamesh could easily suppress could only be defeated if all members attacked together.

However, as the apparent supervisor, Kotomine Rizheng must have a righteous cause and a crime even if he wants to issue a notice to surrender the thief.

In the next few days, the Toosaka camp will try their best to find any violations that Rod had committed in this Holy Grail War.

In fact, Tōsaka Tokiomi was already close to a certain truth.

He was looking into Rhode's travel status these days. If he found out that he had left Fuyuki for Tokyo,

If the fact that Rhodes once transformed into a monster and appeared before the world were to be exposed, the Holy Church could legitimately unite all the Masters to launch an attack on him.

But before that, he had to find a way to calm Archer, who was already out of control.

"...Tokiomi, you don't think I can beat him, do you?"

Gilgamesh said coldly, anger burning in his red eyes.

"No! You are the one and only Hero King in the world. There is no enemy you cannot defeat."

Toosaka Tokiomi spoke hurriedly, not caring about the cold sweat on his forehead.

"However, as you have seen, the strength of that young man is clearly beyond the scope of the Holy Grail War. He must have used some cheating method to harm your body. Please give me some time to investigate..."

"There's nothing wrong with his strength! It's better to say that guy didn't even use his full strength."

Gilgamesh crossed his arms over his chest, flatly refused and warned.

"Tokiomi, I advise you not to meddle in this matter anymore, and don't try to be clever in the future.

This is the agreement between me and that guy. This is a battle that belongs only to me."

Why did things turn out like this?

Why did the Holy Grail War, which should have been well prepared and had perfect countermeasures, turn into such an ungraceful situation?

With nowhere to vent his anger, Tōsaka Tokiomi clenched his fists, digging his nails into his palms.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and bent deeply towards Gilgamesh who was sitting on the sofa.

He stared at the gorgeous carpet in his home and said with a bitter expression.

"My king... three days. Please give me another three days. If I cannot investigate the boy's cheating within three days, he will be at your disposal."

"Humph!"

Gilgamesh stood up from the sofa and then turned into a wisp of golden quicksand and disappeared into the room.

"Tokiomi, remember this. This is the last of my patience with you."

……

……

……

Zenjo's house, Tousaka Aoi's room.

"Aoi, why don't you call your husband?"

After hearing what Rhode said, a look of confusion appeared on Aoi Toosaka's tender face, which had just come out of the bath.

"Calling my husband... What's wrong, Rod-kun? Why are you suddenly saying this?"

"Aoi, didn't you tell me before that your husband was busy with something very important?

That’s why you had to leave Fuyuki City and return to your mother’s home.

In that case, give your husband a call. He must really need your support right now.”

"No, that's not the case, Rod. That person is a very remarkable person, and he is already an adult. He will be fine even without my encouragement."

Toosaka Aoi gently stroked Rod's hair.

Luo Dejun is such a simple child... she thought secretly.

As a woman who married into a famous magic family, Toosaka Aoi has never interfered with her husband's work.

She is a typical, Showa-style Yamato Nadeshiko. A woman should not ask about a man's work, let alone give him instructions.

Never set foot in the world of men, just be a beautiful vase, a wife who can give birth to excellent offspring

This is the worldview that Toosaka Aoi has always known.

Silently and unconditionally supporting the other person behind the scenes is how Aoi exists as the mistress of the Tohsaka family.

Even when her husband sent Sakura to the Matou household...she had no right to express her opinion.

"..."

Thinking of her daughter who had disappeared for more than a month, Toosaka Aoi's face was covered with gloom.

Rhode looked up at her and said with a bright expression, "That's not the case. If it were me, I would want to hear Aoi's voice more at the critical moment."

The boy's words made her feel as if a warm current flowed into her chest. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart again that Rhodes was such a good boy.

Looking at his clear, beautiful black eyes that were exactly the same as Sakura's, Toosaka Aoi fell into deep thought.

If I had this child by my side, would I be able to change myself?

No longer a silent wife, but able to share some of the family responsibilities.

More importantly, I must explain to him clearly about Sakura this time.

"Well... I see. If you say so, I'll call my husband."

Toosaka Aoi picked up the receiver with a resolute expression, and when she looked at Rhodes, the two smiled at each other.

After a long wait, the call to Toosaka's house was connected.

"This is the Tousaka family."

The long-lost voice of Tōsaka Tokiomi came from the other end of the receiver.

Toosaka Aoi swallowed nervously, held Rhodes' hand tightly, and spoke.

"Tokiomi, it's me."

"What's wrong, Aoi? Why are you calling?"

On the other end of the receiver, Tōsaka Tokiomi asked in surprise.

His voice was filled with exhaustion.

This is no wonder. Since the battle of Einzbern Castle last night, Tokiomi has not closed his eyes while working.

The plan that was originally under control was completely disrupted, and he had to endure the tremendous wrath from the King of Heroes.

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who always regarded elegance as his motto, felt unprecedentedly exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Nothing special..."

Can't I call you if there's nothing going on? We're husband and wife...

Toosaka Aoi pursed her lips and said, "I just suddenly wanted to call you and ask if the Holy Grail War is going well."

The vein on Tōsaka Tokiomi's forehead twitched slightly.

I was in a state of panic here, but my wife called me and brought up all sorts of irrelevant issues.

He suppressed his depression and replied coldly: "Really? It's going pretty smoothly. It should be finished next week.

You and Rin can come back then. That’s it. If there’s nothing else, let’s talk about it another day.”

“Eh…? Wait, Tokiomi.”

"..."

After Tousaka Aoi said "wait", the phone line suddenly became quiet.

In the past, his wife had never refuted any of his opinions, but today, she was uncharacteristically taking the initiative to care about the Holy Grail War and even asked him not to hang up the phone.

Tōsaka Tokiomi inexplicably felt that his authority as the head of the family was being shaken.

Gilgamesh too...you too...what do you want!?

""

There was complete silence, and Tōsaka Tokiomi responded to his wife with cold silence.

The smart Toosaka Aoi immediately noticed her husband's resentment and felt a little helpless.

Just when she was about to apologize to Tokiomi, Rhodes suddenly hugged her slender waist from behind.
