The world of adults is very dirty.
The sun gradually rises.
Izayo Sakuya was cleaning the dishes skillfully, and when she was halfway done, she stopped. She raised her head slightly and looked at the door that was opened not far away, and her expression became nervous involuntarily.
She saw a beautiful girl in a black dress walking towards her in a menacing manner, and the temperature of the air seemed to drop to freezing point.
Altrouge·Brunestud!
A name flashed through her mind. It was the name of the current ruler of the Dead Apostle world. It symbolized absolute violence and power over ten thousand people. He was one of the top rulers on the planet.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Not far away, Remilia's joyful voice came, followed by a series of rapid footsteps, and then he flew towards Altrouge.
Wait... something's not right.
Izayo Sakuya subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to stop him, but before he could say anything... he saw Altrouge hugging Remilia.
Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene happened.
Altrouge held Remilia in his arms and adjusted the direction. Then, his fair and slender hands moved toward Remilia's butt, "Pop!" ' greeted him, and crisp slaps echoed around him.
Remilia was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted:
"Ah... it hurts!"
"..."
Altrouge lowered his head and looked at his beloved daughter. Looking at her confused expression, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and continued to raise his hand to spank Remilia's butt a few times.
"Remy... you want to resurrect grandma, right?"
She put her daughter down and asked with a gentle smile.
Remilia blinked her red eyes and felt that her mother's smile was a little subtle. However, recalling the look on her face when she looked forward to her grandma, she nodded proudly and said:
"That's right... I want to resurrect grandma!"
She spoke confidently without any wavering.
Altrouge raised her hand to hold her forehead. She felt a little dizzy, but she didn't know how to explain it. She couldn't tell her daughter directly... She didn't want to resurrect Crimson Moon, she just wanted to treat it as a good memory from the past.
However, when I think about what I said to my daughter in the past... it's not easy to change my words.
"Mother, why do you want to spank me?"
Remilia raised her head and looked at her mother. Ruby's eyes looked a little confused. She didn't care... she had just been spanked by her mother. In the final analysis... the pain was nothing more than that to her.
Not long ago, she fought with Cú Chulainn but relied on her recovery power to fight to death.
If you're afraid of pain... you can't take advantage of your natural resilience.
"...Holy Grail War is very dangerous."
Altrouge squatted down and touched his daughter's head. "You are still young... you are not suitable to participate in this level of fighting. We will wait until you grow up."
"But... I defeated Heroic Spirit myself last night."
Remilia puffed up his chest slightly, then raised his hand and pointed not far away. "Besides, grandma also sent people to help me win Holy Grail War!"
"..."
Altrouge looked at the direction pointed by his daughter, and saw Black Wing Lord and Van Feim sitting around a white Round Table.
These two are...Crimson Moon's former close ministers, extremely powerful beings.
"... That would be great."
She raised her hand and touched her daughter's, with an extremely gentle smile.
Now that the two oldest True Ancestor Dead Apostles are here, it means that... probably Crimson Moon really has a will to do this, so it is better for her to remain cautious for the time being.
Moreover, even if Crimson Moon is really resurrected... and insists on having his own way.
Then we can only cooperate with Touko, and then mobilize all forces to send his father Crimson Moon to sleep kindly.
Therefore, the situation is still under control.
No rush.
In a residential house.
Kairi Shishigou was sitting on the sofa, holding a cigarette in her mouth, and looked at Mordred across from her with subtle eyes. She saw this energetic girl who usually looked like a little lion.
He seemed a little restless.
"Saber... are you nervous?"
He exhaled a puff of smoke and asked lightly.
Mordred's delicate body froze slightly, then his green eyes widened, and he said as if refusing to admit defeat, "Nervous, I am the heir of King Arthur, will I be nervous because I am about to meet King Arthur?!"
"You are so incoherent!"
Kairi Shishigou took a puff of the cigarette and smiled boldly. This legendary Rebellious Knight... was surprisingly childish, but after getting along for a long time... you will find it quite cute.
"Long-winded!"
Mordred glared at her Master, and immediately pressed down her fidgeting body. After a moment, it returned to its original state, with her eyes often glancing in the direction of the phone.
At this moment, she is waiting for a call to inform 'King Arthur' that Fuyuki City has arrived.
That's it... about thirty minutes.
Ring ring ring ring!
The landline suddenly rang.
Mordred jumped up from the sofa like an elk, then ran towards the landline and answered the call with lightning speed.
Chapter 438 Father and daughter meet again?
Bus stop.
A black luxury car parked nearby.
In the trunk, Emiya Kiritsugu took out a suitcase and handed it to Artoria who was standing aside. Then, he looked at Aozaki Touko who was standing with his arms folded across his chest.
He took out a cigarette and lit it, with a hint of smile in his tired voice.
"Boss, the meal is ready at home. I'll take my leave now. Just call me if you need anything."
"Well... I guess I don't have anything to do with you today."
Aozaki Touko waved his hand. "If you have time, why not take care of your adopted son? That child should be quite confused."
"... I understand."
Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, opened the door of the black car, got into the driver's seat and stepped on the accelerator. After a moment, he disappeared into the long queue of vehicles.
"That man... has become much older."
Carrying the suitcase, Artoria looked at the disappearing black car in the distance.
She thought she knew Emiya Kiritsugu, and she also knew something about this man. He was a close subordinate of Aozaki Touko. However, now that they met again... she found that Emiya Kiritsugu had the air of an old man.
Although it can be seen that the body has strong vitality, the vitality on the mental level is completely opposite.
"... I didn't notice much."
Aozaki Touko blinked, and then said helplessly, "However, this is actually a matter of course. The man once was active with the desire to save the world. Even if I... interrupted it with the power of capital, saving people... has never stopped."
"Human beings will always be human beings, and sooner or later their spirits will fail."
She calmly announced that the future of this existence named Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to save one person, save two people, save ten people, save everyone, but the weight was definitely not equal.
If he keeps saving, Emiya Kiritsugu will be crushed sooner or later.
"Just... watch him go to self-destruction?"
Artoria asked.
"I am not omnipotent, this Emiya Kiritsugu has its own will."
Aozaki Touko shook his head and then smiled, "However, it's almost time for Emiya Kiritsugu to retire. His adopted son...Emiya Shirou will take his place."
"That's not bad." Artoria nodded slightly, "Only those with the will to inherit will be able to go further. If you just rely on yourself... you will be exhausted sooner or later."
"I think so too~"
Aozaki Touko raised his hand and touched Artoria's pretty face, "Even if you are as great as King Arthur and keep taking correct actions, you will feel tired sooner or later, and you need a successor."
"Is this... the reason why you summoned Mordred to come to this world?"
Artoria's emerald green eyes were filled with a smile, "I thought you were being malicious and wanted to see... what interesting reaction we would have, so I deliberately summoned Mordred."
"... there is a little reason"
Aozaki Touko turned away his eyes slightly and whispered, "However, I don't want you to be bound by the throne. I hope... you have more of me in your heart instead of the cold throne."
It's not a lie, this is the result she has expected. If Artoria becomes the king again, he will definitely perform his duties as a king with all his heart. Doesn't this... not indirectly make Artoria ignore her?
How can this be done... The 'throne' must be kicked down.
"... Are you jealous of this too?"
Artoria glanced at Touko, her beautiful face was dumbfounded. She had seen Aozaki Touko so high-spirited and full of confidence in her eyes, as if she was a symbol of omnipotence.
At that time, Touko... was like a bright burning sun hanging in the sky.
Now that so many years have passed, the sharp temperament she once had has become much more restrained. She has more of the charm of a mature woman, revealing her natural elegance, and looks extremely kind and gentle.
Of course, this does not mean that Touko's personality has changed.
It should be said that there is nothing worthy of showing pride in this world.
So, it naturally became what it is today.
"... Can't you~"
Aozaki Touko put his white fingers to his lips, smiled at Artoria, winked playfully, and then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the community not far away.
That gentle and playful smile is as bright as the sun.
Artoria's heart beat suddenly accelerated, and then she gave a helpless and gentle smile. She had to admit... she was touched by Aozaki Touko's deliberate contrast.
However, she didn't hate these... small gestures of intimacy.
Thinking about it, she carried her suitcase and chased Touko.
*
Within the community.
Aozaki Touko and Artoria held hands and walked to a foreign house. They looked at the appearance of the house for a while, then walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.
After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps came.
"Lady Touko, Artoria Your Majesty, please come in~"
It was Gray who opened the door. She expressed welcome in a low voice, then consciously accepted Artoria's salute, and immediately walked towards the living room with Artoria and Aozaki Touko.
Go into the living room.
The atmosphere seemed a bit silent.
Everyone stared at the blond Artoria. No one spoke first. Some of them... knew that it was not appropriate to speak now, and some of them didn't know how to speak.
As a result, the atmosphere was subtly stalemate.
"Bedivere see Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Bedivere came out with an excited expression. He knelt on one knee in front of Artoria and suppressed his excited voice. "I am really honored to see Your Majesty again."
"Long time no see, Bedivere Qing~"
Artoria showed a gentle smile. She was undoubtedly very happy to see Bedivere again in this era.
"Yes!"
