My mother's love song

"Six servants' souls. This is the minimum requirement for the Greater Holy Grail to be activated."

Irisviel said firmly.

“No, a human soul can replace a Servant’s soul.

Although very weak, the souls of ordinary humans also have the power to activate the Holy Grail.

If the quality is not enough, we can make up for it with quantity."

That's right, just like what Aika Sajo did in "Aogin".

As long as a few hundred girls are offered as living sacrifices to the black mud in the Holy Grail, the soul of a Servant can be replaced and the golden cup can be filled.

In this case, the Holy Grail will automatically determine that Rod and his servants have won.

"What on earth are you thinking about, Master!"

After understanding Rhode's thoughts, Artoria could no longer bear to listen. She stood up excitedly and slammed the table: "Don't involve innocent people. Such evil behavior is absolutely unacceptable..."

"Be quiet, Arthur."

Morgan interrupted her indignant sister.

"There's no need to react so violently. The Master would never do such a thing. You should know that clearly.

If he was a more unscrupulous man, the Holy Grail War would have ended the night I was summoned."

""

Altria was stunned for a moment, gave Rhodes a guilty look, and then sat back in her seat obediently.

"…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to distrust the Master."

Then, the three of them looked at Rhodes at the same time, and it was obvious that he had something else to say.

"To be honest, I really don't want Lancer and Caster to fight. So I've been looking for a way for both of you to win at the same time."

Rhodes swallowed the last bite of Mapo Tofu and said after a few seconds of pause.

"Just now when I was canceling the contract between Kenneth and Gawain, I thought of this...

There is a route where Lancer, Caster, and Airi can all make wishes at the same time."

"I... can win too?"

Irisviel blinked. She had never thought that this matter would be related to her when she was already doomed to failure.

Morgan narrowed his eyes and stared at the Master uneasily: "Tell me what you have in mind."

Rhode scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hahaha. Actually, it's not a very clever idea. It's just that..."

"Isn't there another one here that can replace the Servant and fill the Holy Grail with extra souls?"

As he spoke, Rhodes pointed at himself.

……

……

……

"Eri? Irisviel? The eldest daughter of Einzbern?"

Rhode followed behind the angry Irisviel, calling her name attentively.

The celebration party ended in a bad mood.

Rhodes' proposal was rejected unanimously by the council members.

Altria protested even more fiercely than before, and Morgan gave him a colder look than he had ever seen before.

The two sisters left in anger, and Rhode finally hugged Irisviel and kept her.

"Lancer and Caster were both angered by Lord Rhode's frivolous remarks. Have you reflected on this?"

Irisviel stopped and looked down at the boy with her hands on her hips.

"Ah, I am reflecting on myself. I am reflecting on myself."

Rhode said respectfully, "Red bean paste Smith Mason fell Sita, I won't say that kind of thing again in the future."

"It's not a question of whether to say it or not, it's that you can't have that kind of thought!"

There was anger in the cyborg princess' beautiful crimson eyes.

"You are the one who has won the Holy Grail War until now, why would you want to give up the Holy Grail to help others!?"

Because I don’t need the Holy Grail... Rhodes had a hard time expressing his feelings.

He participated in the Holy Grail War purely to enjoy the process.

I had no interest in the final prize, the broken cup with darkness inside.

But he couldn't tell all these to Artoria and Irisviel.

It is unacceptable to say, "What you worked so hard to get is just garbage to me."

And I'm afraid that even if I tell them this, they still won't accept it.

Morgan is the one who knows the truth about himself.

In their hearts, the three of them must be hoping that they can hold the Holy Grail.

Seeing Rhodes's reckless attitude, Alice was about to continue lecturing him harshly.

"Ellie, how are you?" Rhodes suddenly asked.

"Hmm? As you can see, I'm in good health now... Huh."

Suddenly, Irisviel fell forward as if she had lost her strength.

Rhodes quickly reached out his hands, hugged her waist, and let Irisviel snuggle on his shoulders.

When he came out of the restaurant, he found that something was wrong with Irisviel. Even though it had been a long time since she finished eating Mapo Tofu, her forehead was still sweating.

Perhaps because she was so emotionally excited, she didn't even notice anything wrong with her body.

"Well……"

"Ellie, I'll go get a taxi."

Rhodes supported her weak body and walked towards the taxi stand.

At this time, Irisviel raised her head and said while panting.

"Lord Rhodes... I know there is a temporary base. Let's take a taxi there."

……

……

……

"here it is……"

After helping Irisviel down from the taxi, Rhodes took a deep breath.

What appeared before my eyes was a quaint Japanese-style building that looked like the setting for a period drama. It was the Emiya Mansion from "FSN".

It was not until Rhodes was there in person that he realized how huge and unique it was.

There is an unusual sense of desolation in the building, as if it has been idle for quite some time.

It has been uninhabited for such a long time but looks like it has been renovated frequently, yet it can still occupy such a large space in urban planning without being demolished.

Even though the nameplate on the door read "Tokugawa Mitsunari" it didn't seem strange, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh at the financial strength of the Einzbern family again.

"This house was bought after the Holy Grail War broke out, so we haven't had time to make any preparations inside until now. Perhaps the environment inside is not suitable for living..."

Irisviel raised her head weakly and looked at the luxurious Japanese-style manor in the night.

"Nothing, just staying for one night."

Rhodes put his arm around her waist and walked to the empty house.

"Um... Lord Rhodes."

Irisviel turned her red face to the side and spoke softly.

"The key to the mansion is in the breast pocket of the shirt under my coat..."

Rhodes nodded.

"That's... impolite."

Swallowing, Rod reached out and unbuttoned her coat.

"lady……?"

Just as Rhodes reluctantly pulled his hand out from the chest of Irisviel's warm fur coat, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

Turning around, I saw an oriental woman with short black shoulder-length hair standing in the distance.

Cold beauty and slender figure.

This woman was known to both Rhode and Irisviel; it was Hisau Maiya.

After seeing Irisviel, her usually cold face showed surprise.

"Madam... why are you here? And who are you..."

After seeing Rhodes' face clearly in the darkness, Hisahi Maiya's eyes burst into intense flames of hatred.

"……It's you."

Chapter 078: I'm in need of a maid, it's you, Maiya

"Get away from Madam!"

When seeing Rhode hugging Irisviel's waist affectionately, Hisau Maiya acted subconsciously.

The black iron in her hand fired a gunshot that resounded through the night.

9mm caliber pistol bullets are barely enough to kill people, not to mention that the enemy is a mysterious boy who has surpassed the heroic spirit.

It was hatred and anger that made Hisau Maiya lose her composure and forget the gap in strength between them.

Why is it always me who is unlucky... Rhodes thought so and turned quickly.

He turned over and held Irisviel in his arms while facing away from Maiya’s gun.

Although it was easy for Rhode to dodge the pistol bullet with his ability, he still chose this fun method out of ignorance.

Now hope has bloomed.

However, just as the boy was quietly waiting for the bullet to hit his body, Irisviel also moved.

Rhodes was pushed out by her unexpectedly. He fell heavily to the ground before he could react.

Then, the bullet passed through Irisviel’s shoulder, and blood stained her coat red.
