My mother's love song

"Um, Lord Rhodes...what is the [True Ether] you were talking about just now?" Gray asked.

It has been more than a year since she entered the Clock Tower, and this is the first time she has come across this term.

If it is ether, I have heard a little about it.

Rhodes said slowly: "Gray, you know this, right?

Alchemists divided the matter in the world into four attributes: air, fire, earth, water and ether.

However, the true ether is different from the ether and is an attribute that belongs only to the Age of Gods.

The reason why magicians in the Age of Gods were better than modern magicians was because they lived on Earth, which was filled with true ether.

Having said that, even if modern magicians inhale the air of the Age of Gods, they will not be able to use magic that rivals that of magic. On the contrary, it may have a negative impact on their bodies. After all, magic is not something that can be achieved overnight."

Gray said, "In other words, if we inhale too much of London's divine energy, will it also affect everyone?"

"No, what we should be concerned about now is whether the citizens of London will suffer from sequelae..."

Rhode said with a serious expression: "Instead, we should be concerned about what the guy who created this Age of Gods environment wants to do with this planet."

……

……

……

"Here we go, Sakura!"

"Yes, sister!"

Toosaka Rin tensed her slender arms. This twelve-year-old girl was not at all immature at her age. She took solid steps that shook the ground, rushed into the enemy's arms, and swung her steel fist like a hammer.

Even though the demon was made up of a psychic, it suffered considerable damage after being hit by the iron fist strengthened by her magic, and its body retreated with a terrifying cry.

While the black-haired girl successfully suppressed the demon with violence, the purple-haired girl followed closely and performed magic.

As she swung her arm, a black blade flew out from the girl's fingertips.

If Toosaka Rin's cursed bullet is a magic bullet with a maximum power equivalent to rifle firepower, then Matou Sakura's shadow blade is a veritable cannonball.

With just one strike, the upper body of the demon that humans could not resist was blasted off.

Originally, Sakura Matou, who had never received any magic training, was unable to use magic.

But during the five years of living with Kama, she learned to use the dark part of her heart.

The girl pushed the magic circuits held by the negativity in her heart to the surface and gained temporary magician functions.

That is an act that pushes part of humanity toward destruction.

In this state, Sakura might be swallowed up by the "negative heart" if she is not careful.

Of course it is horrible, of course it is shameful.

But even so, Sakura gritted her teeth and persevered.

Because it was so difficult to see my sister.

Because I still want to meet Brother Rod...

"Don't be in a daze, Sakura!"

Lin's stern voice rang in his ears.

"S-Sorry, sis!"

Sakura came to her senses and found that a new enemy was right in front of her.

“Gandr!”

The black curse bullet shot from Rin's right index finger hit the demon's head, slowing its progress.

Sakura also took this opportunity to unleash her imaginary magic once again.

A black vortex emerged under the demon's feet, and tentacle-like roots stretched out from it, dragging the demon into the abyss to which it should have returned.

Just like this, although the sisters of the Tōsaka family were only practicing magic for the first time, they fought against the monsters in tacit understanding, as if they were comrades who had fought side by side for more than ten years.

Although neither of them said it explicitly, it seems that they have never been more than just a supportive relationship before.

That is the fate engraved into every sister born into a family of magicians.

The name of fate is competition.

Rin and Sakura were like they were in a competition, competing with each other in the field where their lives were at stake, and they were both using their respective strengths to the fullest.

If there were a Clock Tower lecturer present, he would also be amazed by their talent.

On this battlefield where adults who have trained in the Clock Tower for several years can't even stand steadily, the performance of these two girls in their early teens is so outstanding that there is nothing to say.

Rin and Sakura's talents have never been just the rare five elemental attributes [Average One] and imaginary number attributes, they are true geniuses.

In the face of the struggle of the genius sisters, even the devil seems overwhelmed.

Originally, there were not many enemies in the area where Rin and Sakura were, and with a perfect combined attack, the two of them quickly approached the campus exit for all basic subjects.

"There's no end to this... Sakura! Anyway, let's get out of here first."

Rin had no idea that Lanis and Luvia were looking for them, and it was safer for her to return to the hotel with her sister rather than linger in this dangerous area.

Sakura nodded: "Okay, okay."

Soon, they were approaching the entrance to all basic subjects.

After arriving at a dark place with no enemies, Rin looked at the intersection blocked by monsters.

Because of the thick fog that permeates the entire campus, the visibility here is not good.

However, Rin still sensed a large amount of magical reaction in front of him.

In order to see its true appearance, Rin injected magic power into her eyes which were beginning to heat up and looked carefully. The thick fog dissipated as if the clouds had been cleared to reveal the sun.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

At the entrance of the university town, there were far more demons gathered than before.

The gathering malice and deep curses sent chills down one's spine even from a distance of dozens of meters.

"No, it would be difficult to break through by force."

After thinking for a while, Rin walked straight to Sakura and slipped a note into her sister's hand.

"Sister, what is this?"

"Ying, I will rush out to attract the attention of these guys later. As for you... just take this opportunity to escape from school and don't worry about me.

The note I gave you has the address of the hotel where I live. When you get there, find a man called Luo..."

"I don't want to! Sister, come with me!"

Sakura interrupted her loudly.

Of course it was impossible for Sakura Matou not to understand her sister's thoughts.

It was impossible for the two of them to fight the devil alone, and leaving Rin alone to cover their retreat was clearly a suicide mission.

Lin decisively rejected her: "No, someone must attract the enemy."

"Then I want to stay and fight with my sister!"

Lin stared at her tired face seriously and said coldly, "You want to fight no matter what, but you are just showing off, right?

You probably have very little magic power left. You've been in so much pain that you can hardly breathe since just now. I can't hide this from you.

He is still the same as before. He looks like an honest child, but actually he is very impulsive and does things without considering the consequences.”

Rin put her hands on her hips and scolded Sakura in a stern tone: "You were like this when you were little..."

"……Well."

The girl lowered her long eyelashes.

"I'm sorry, sister..."

Rin sighed, secretly regretting her attitude, and her tone softened a little: “Listen, Sakura.

Even if you stay, you will only hold me back. If you have the time, you might as well go outside and get help."

Ying hesitated and said, "But..."

Rin smiled brightly and patted the pockets of her skirt: "Luckily I brought a lot of gems with me today, so I'll be fine. So don't worry, Sakura!"

"..."

Sakura fell silent.

Of course, there was no way the girl could know that Rin was lying.

Today, Rin went out to visit the school and brought only a few gems with him, so he used Bajiquan and Devil Close Combat extensively in actual combat without regard for his own safety. The few gems he had left were also used up in the previous battle.

Lin reached out and stroked her smooth purple hair, and said softly, “It’s incredible that you have grown as tall as me.

And her breasts are bigger than mine... ahem, nothing.

Sakura, after this riot is over, let's go back to Japan and live together, right?"

"elder sister……"

Ying opened her dark purple pupils wide, pursed her lips, and nodded heavily: "Yeah!"

The two sisters held hands tightly and smiled at each other.

"I'm sorry to disturb you two sisters during this time of love, but..."

Just then, a hollow, emotionless voice came from behind.

"who!"

Rin grabbed Sakura's arm and protected it behind her.

In the center of the fog, something was moving before the two sisters' eyes, swaying in an extremely ominous shape.

It's human.

Although they were human, they were even more disturbing than the demons they had just encountered.

He was probably a man, very tall, and his features could not be identified because he was wearing a heavy cloak.

Rin couldn't tell the man's gender or age from his aura or his posture, but the girl would probably accept any number he said, ranging from 20s to 40s.

“…………Who is it?”

No. Could he even be considered human?

Although Lin had already realized that the other person was a human, she could not sense the slightest breath of "aliveness" from him.

Facing that figure, Rin felt extremely confused, and Sakura seemed to be frightened as well, losing her color.

This "human" is very dangerous... The girls' intuition is sounding the alarm.

"I'm not a suspicious person. I'm from the Clock Tower."

The cloaked man spread his hands and said in an emotionless voice: "Old acquaintances of the Clock Tower all call me [Evil Spirit] Gamisha.

But I would be happy if the two lovely ladies could just call me Dr Gamisha.”

“Uh, how is it possible…!”

Lin's breathing stopped and he showed an expression of disbelief.

"elder sister?"

Sakura noticed the tremors emanating from her sister's body.

"Prepare to escape."

Rin squeezed her sister's hand and spoke with her lips.

"what?"

For Rin, it doesn't matter if she rushes into a group of demons at this point, as long as she can escape from the man in front of her.

Evil spirits and misha.

Any magus who sets the Clock Tower as his target must know this name.

His notoriety even surpassed that of the Sealing Bureau and the agents of the Holy Church. He was called the most evil and vicious disaster of the Magic Association and the enemy of all modern magicians!
