Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

"Will you be happy? Then..."

With a sigh tinged with sadness, Tiamat continued:

"Please take me with you."

……

“I am Mom… no, that’s not right, that’s a title. My name is Tiamat.”

Looking at the elegant, unnamed blue-haired girl before her, whom she subconsciously felt a fondness for, Scaya felt a strange sensation.

Damn...where did I find this? This aura, this appearance, it's just...her natural mother...

Skaya looked sincerely at the slightly reserved Tiamat, while simultaneously gritting her teeth at the leisurely Novia.

"Please rest assured..."

Tiamat, gently stroking Erise and Scaya's heads, glanced at Novia and, after receiving her nod, confidently continued, "Mother, I am very strong."

The current Tiamat is a clone created by Novia herself from the imaginary space, in a state of 'initializing herself and gaining new life'. Perhaps for this reason, this larva seeks Novia's opinion on everything.

"As Tiamat said, from now on, she is your mother."

Upon hearing this, Scaya, who had been squinting from Tiamat's head patting, immediately fell silent.

No.

After about ten seconds of silence, she snorted through her nose as a form of response.

Novia and Erise, who were present, knew that this was Skaya's agreement during her rebellious phase, but it was different for Tiamat, who was visiting for the first time.

She pulled her hand away from Skaia's, made a fist, and smacked Skaia on the head, causing her to cry out and squat down.

If it were Novia, Scaya would probably be glaring at her through gritted teeth, as if she were breathing on her. But in front of Tiamat, her mother whom she genuinely respected, Scaya could only grumble, "...What's wrong?"

"This is a bad thing, you can't do it. You should say 'I understand' so you can make friends."

"……snort."

Because Tiamat's eyes were so sincere, Skaya nodded reluctantly.

Seeing her give up so easily made Novia laugh, but he also remembered that besides Eri, Scaya should also have friends like Murian from the Fairy Kingdom... Well, that's too far-fetched, I'd better not think about it.

But soon, Skaya pouted in dissatisfaction, leaned against the tree trunk unhappily, and then suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"...What will be for dinner?"

Skaya was actually saying this to Novia, but Tiamat mistakenly thought she was talking to her, so she immediately stood up and said it seriously.

"Are you going to cook? Don't worry, Mom will do it. Super Mom, on the move! Boom boom boom boom boom!"

He then used his hand to wipe the bloodstains off Skaia's face.

"No, I meant..."

Before Skaya could speak, Tiamat, who had just walked out, saw Novia walking as well, and timidly reached out to touch his back.

"Are you going to cook? I'll come with you..."

And so, the two of them together prepared their dinner: steaming pancakes, fragrant borscht, and raw meat stained with blood. When Tiamat first saw the raw meat with blood on Novia's plate, she immediately became agitated, saying things like, "This is bad for the baby," "...You really can't do this," and "Babies are different, you can't do this," trying to stop Novia. It wasn't until Novia said it was Skaya's request that she reluctantly stepped aside.

That's why Tiamat looked at Skaya across the table, who was eating raw meat, and saw that she didn't seem to mind at all, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she could see that Skaya had the potential to become a beast, she was still her child, and Eri was also her child. They were all lovely children. After all, no child is not lovely, and in a mother's heart, no child is more adorable than her.

Actually, Tiamat was a little worried and uneasy when Novia first said she wanted her to come out, but now she feels relieved.

"I'm done eating."

"I'm done eating too..."

After Eri and Skaya finished eating, Novia picked up their plates and went to the river to wash the dishes.

For someone of his stature, tasks like washing dishes and cleaning could be easily solved with magic. However, raising children in Tunguska would be rather boring, lacking any atmosphere. Doing it himself would also help pass the time, according to Novia.

At that moment, Tiamat gently touched his back.

"I'll wash it..."

"It's okay, I'm used to washing them."

Even though Novia had said that, Tiamat still firmly shook her head.

“I am their mother. This kind of thing should be left to me. Today is the first day…”

"I see. Then you can do it."

"……I will work hard."

Although she probably had never done this before, Tiamat must have just watched Novia do it and thought it would be natural for her to do it. As Novia expected, Tiamat finished it in a few dozen seconds.

Then she touched Novia's back with her still-wet hand. Even though Novia was right next to her, the Mother Goddess of Creation did it as if it were a habit.

"Was my performance... okay... good...?"

"Washing the dishes, it's alright."

"Because I am Tiamat, and I'm very strong."

"Yes, yes, Tiamat, you are really too strong."

"...You're so kind. I'm a little worried now. You can be even more wicked, and I'll raise the child well for you."

"...Am I someone who looks like a bad guy at first glance?"

"Whoa?!"

For some reason, Tiamat seemed startled and quickly shook her head, "No, no."

"How dare you slander my Tiamat! Go and hold your own repentance meeting."

Since Tiamat's reaction to her was amusing, Novia decided to tease her a little.

Faced with Novia's 'blame', Tiamat sighed sadly and pressed her hand to her flat chest, as if a treasure was buried there.

"I'm sorry, I'm so useless... Please don't hate me..."

Then came Novia's frank laughter.

"Anyway, do your best. I'm going to sleep now."

"If we're going to sleep, can I come along too?"

"...No, there's no need for that."

The silver-haired youth left after this brief conversation, but Tunguska, with its lingering flames, was an environment completely at odds with tranquility. Even though Novia didn't really need sleep, he wasn't unable to fall asleep.

Although Tunguska was a desolate and uninhabited area where there was no need to care about other people's opinions, Novia still set up tents for each of the group.

However, when Novia woke up the next morning, she saw Tiamat on the other side as soon as she opened her eyes.

Tiamat?

As soon as she finished speaking, Tiamat opened her eyes.

Although she shouldn't be grumpy when she wakes up, she still has a blank, unguarded expression when she first wakes up, which is quite cute.

Good morning, Novia.

Chapter 504 In the Name of the Tsar.

For both humans and animals living around Tunguska, the area where the explosion occurred was now an unusually 'dark place'.

This is not a matter of light intensity caused by the abundance of forests under the sun, but rather a matter of the dark concept inherent in the mysterious birth of Skaya, a product of the Tunguska explosion. Given time, she can gradually grow and strip the Tunguska region from the record tape, creating a barrier to expel humanity.

But the planet would never allow her to continue growing so easily; Scaya should have disappeared without anyone knowing.

It's not that Gaia did it intentionally, but rather that the wailing caused by the Tunguska explosion on this land would eventually dissipate. After all, the ability that created Scaya through the Tunguska explosion is itself a mystery, so the more people know about it, the faster it will dissipate.

Although the first research team to formally explore the mystery of the Tunguska event didn't arrive for another twenty years, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire world knew about the Tunguska event when it occurred.

Fireballs with a diameter of 50-100 meters fell from the sky, and people in many European countries saw a flash of light in the night sky, as bright as day. Even people in the United States, far across the ocean, felt the earth tremble.

A tremendous roar was heard within a radius of a thousand kilometers. The roar was recorded by seismic stations that spanned Eurasia at the time. The resulting unstable air pressure was even detected by the newly invented automatic barometer in Britain. In the days following the event, the night sky over Asia and Europe turned dark red. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Mount Wilson Observatory in the United States observed that the transparency of the atmosphere had decreased for at least several months.

For the people at that time, it was a huge disaster. As for the magicians in the surrounding area, they must have realized that it was caused by some kind of magic or mystery. Perhaps there were magicians who had observed it in advance and arrived here to wait.

For example, magicians belonging to the Russian imperial family, magicians from a particular school within the Clock Tower, those who, during turbulent times, became independent magicians through family tradition, or even the mysteries still prevalent in Russia—

Within the Tunguska scorched earth, where trees have fallen in all directions across thousands of square kilometers, a colossal shadow, far taller than an ordinary person, is a mysterious figure named Vi. Vi is a fictional character from Russian folklore, often appearing as a witch or a little devil.

Everything was bathed in the crimson glow of the setting sun, which was about to disappear below the horizon, in a mysterious abyss unseen by anyone.

Suddenly, Wei's body trembled.

It dashed towards the center of the scorched earth, and a few seconds later, it appeared before a man dressed in traditional Romanov dynasty clothing with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. Judging from his appearance, he should be a royal magician belonging to the Romanovs.

"Take us away quickly! Wei, as long as we inform the Emperor in time and seize this secret, we can definitely make up for the losses of the previous war and bring peace to the country..."

As we all know, the magicians in the Type-Moon universe are basically more and more anthropomorphic than the last, and exist purely for their own benefit. However, the reality is not quite the opposite, but rather counterintuitive. Some magicians do have patriotic sentiments.

Because it was mentioned in Case Files Radio Drama 4 that 'most magicians are patriotic'.

The example he cited was during the Falklands War, when a clock tower magician, out of patriotism, was airdropped into the Falklands to assist the British in their surprise attack on Argentina. He was then shot and had his family seal destroyed by an unknown Japanese magician. This Japanese magician was, unsurprisingly, the same person who was active at the time.

Upon closer examination, there are actually many such examples. In Fsf, the American magician Faudeus and Grey's Gravekeeper teacher were magicians belonging to the British royal family. In the Holy Grail War, there were also magicians in the military that attempted to rewrite Japan's failed mission.

Furthermore, Kenneth's attitude towards Asian countries is typical of an older white man. He feels that Japan, "relying solely on rudimentary negotiation skills such as science, technology, and economic capabilities, thinks it can rival Western European countries, shamelessly considering itself among the ranks of civilized great powers; it's utterly absurd."

"Whoa whoa……"

However, Wei disobeyed the order and instead roared in the direction the man had fled from, staring at the dark, crimson forest that was incredibly gloomy even in broad daylight.

The mysterious V in Russia is not an independent individual, but rather a group in which each one is called V. It is the most outstanding familiar to local magicians in Russia, but without talent, one cannot see it or make a contract with it.

After all, in the Type-Moon universe, young Helena had seen one and played with it. Her mother was very interested, but her father looked disgusted.

If all the Vs were ranked, the one belonging to the Romanov royal family of the current Russian Empire would be the strongest. Therefore, although this magician may not have a high status within the royal family, the V he contracted with is quite powerful.

"How does it feel to be hunted by an adorable rabbit? It's so disorienting it's almost addictive, isn't it?"

"Let's finish this quickly, Skaya."

The object of Vi's stare was watching it and the magician, its master, from an even darker depth.

It could clearly feel the madness in the bloodline it inherited from the cruel earth, which was naturally suppressed compared to that guy who called himself 'cute rabbit'. That guy's voice and essence had a beauty that was completely opposite, as if a splendid flower bloomed in the darkness where there was never any light.

"I wonder if the fighting techniques I learned from Novia will be effective against non-human beings..."

"Absolutely no problem! You bastard... Dad spends all his time slacking off with Mom."

Scaya put down the sniper rifle in her hand. "But actually, well, although I don't want to admit it, Eri, you're really lucky to have lasted this long. That kind of fighting skill is something that no one can master alone."

Upon hearing this, Eri looked directly into Vi's Mystic Eyes and charged straight at him.

Within the Vi race, the highest release of their Mystic Eyes can create weaknesses that distort causality, but this one clearly lacks that ability.

Eri used dance-like steps to avoid Vi's demonic eyes, then pressed down on Vi's hands as they struck down heavily, and circled around behind him.

The delicate, fair hand touched the flow of magic within Wei's body; even a mysterious being that was not human could be defeated using human martial arts.

Of course, this requires strength no less than that of a fantasy species.

For Erise now, this is effortless.

In just three seconds, there were four crisp striking sounds from the limbs, that is, the hands and feet, reminiscent of the iron fist of lightning, violently impacting the V.

And so, Vina's tall body fell to the ground.

Not far from it, another battle was also taking place.

"You've already suffered a complete defeat, haven't you, Magician?"

Skaya charged forward with a sniper rifle in hand, her long pink hair cascading through the air, while smiling at the magician lying on the ground.

Lately, for some reason, there have been more magicians coming to Tunguska than the average person. Therefore, Novia ordered Skaya and Eri to use magic to drive them away. If any of them are too stubborn and you intend to kill them, just deal with them directly.

The Romanov royal magician in front of them had taken advantage of his position in Russia to launch the first attack on the two of them, which is why they were in this situation.

So she kicked it into the air above the river, and just as it was about to fall into the water, Skaya raised her sniper rifle and fired a shot.

"Clang! Clang clang! Action!"

After seeing Scaya use this move, Eri turned around.

"The problem is almost solved. It's time to go back. It wouldn't be good to make Novia and Tiamat worry."
