Chapter 548

Tiamat tries to calm Rin Tohsaka.

The girl was somewhat speechless. "I'm not the Ishtar you're talking about..."

Is that Ishtar, the goddess from Mesopotamian Mythology? The Inanna of Akkadian mythology?

As the goddess of beauty from which Aphrodite Origin, using her name as a hostess is quite fitting... Don't you think so, Amamiya- kun?"

Rin Tohsaka seems to have mistaken the stunningly beautiful Tiamat for a hostess that Shirou has picked up from somewhere.

Shirou was furious that his newlywed wife was being treated like a hostess.

So, to the best of his ability, he explained the story of the Seventh Singularity, which took place in Parallel World, to Rin Tohsaka as simply as possible.

At first, Rin Tohsaka wore a relaxed and cheerful expression, like an adult listening to a child make up a story.

But soon, her expression became complex and subtle.

Shirou's statement was impeccable, and it even included some technical terms such as "Singularity".

More importantly--

This beautiful woman named "Tia," with her enormous dragon horns and tail, speaks volumes.

Shirou concluded, "That's it. Tia's true identity is Tiamat, the Goddess of Creation of Mesopotamian Mythology."

Rin Tohsaka's lips twitched. "You're kidding, right?"

"I'm serious."

Rin Tohsaka was speechless, and finally, with a helpless expression, she held her forehead with her hand.

"Sorry, let me process what I just said."

Shirou turned to Tiamat and explained the situation.

The girl before them was not Ishtar, but a human being possessed by Ishtar and Ereshkigal, so she could not be treated as Ishtar.

"So that's how it is... Mother made a mistake, her own child... Waaah."

Tiamat also fell into a state of isolation.

Rin Tohsaka exclaimed in astonishment, "I think I just overheard something really shocking..."

Amamiya, what did you just say about the goddess Ishtar?

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

"... Hmm."

Rin Tohsaka was slightly resentful, but thankfully she didn't pursue the matter of Ishtar and Ereshkigal.

"So, Amamiya- san... what are you planning to do next?"

"What should we do?"

Rin revealed a provocative expression. "Miss Tia over there... let's just believe you for now and treat her as the Goddess Tiamat."

Didn't you two get married in the Singularity? Is it really okay not to bring her back to your own home?

Shirou: "... Of course I plan to take her back."

Rin Tohsaka: "You're standing in front of a love hotel?"

Shirou: "..."

Don't bully Shirou.

Tiamat stepped between the two, protecting Shirou.

Rin sighed helplessly.

"I'm telling you, shouldn't you be asserting your position as the legal wife at a time like this?"

If you spoil this guy too much, he might end up being treated like a housewife.

"Current wife?"

Tiamat tilted her head; this was knowledge the Greater Grail hadn't taught her.

Rin Tohsaka explained, "It's my wife, whom I'm keeping hidden away somewhere."

A convenient woman who only appears when her desires are fulfilled, someone she can summon and dismiss at will.

Shirou frowned in displeasure. "That's going too far."

"Is that really the plan?"

"How could that be! My feelings for Tia are genuine!"

Shirou and Rin Tohsaka reverted to their usual bickering mode.

"... That sounds pretty good."

"Ah?"

Tiamat cupped her cheeks in her hands and suddenly murmured, "I am Shirou's wife, the one from Uruk."

Shirou and Rin were both speechless.

"By the way, how about we do it this way?"

Seeing Rin Tohsaka's mischievous expression return, Shirou became wary. "What's wrong?"

"Let Miss Tia come and stay at my house."

She said this with a smile, and put her arm around Tiamat's, who looked flattered.

What mischief are you plotting?

Rin Tohsaka smiled mischievously, "That's too hurtful, Amamiya- san... I genuinely wanted to help you."

Shirou scoffed, "Do you think I'd believe you?"

"Shirou, don't say such hurtful things to Rin... She's trying to help us."

Tiamat said, caught in a dilemma.

Damn it... even my mother was deceived by this red devil!

Rin Tohsaka said, "Of course I didn't do it entirely for you; it was to keep Sakura from being sad."

It's quite a blow that an important senior classmate suddenly became married.

Shirou: "Is that really all?"

Rin: "Of course!"

Shirou: "But, won't that cause trouble for Auntie?"

Rin: "My mother went back to her Zenchou Family, so I've been living alone these past few days."

Shirou: "Don't ask Tia unnecessary questions."

Rin: "I have no interest in the details of your marriage."

Ultimately, Shirou accepted the offer.

Of course, this is just a delaying tactic.

Shirou was thinking that he would bring Tiamat home to show Eiri and Sister Fujiwara in the next few days.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time he'd brought a girl home.

It's just that there's one more female member at Amamiya Hotel.

Okay~ I'll go back tomorrow and sound them out.

As for why not tonight?

He'll definitely be by Tiamat's side tonight.

Please, Shinji, you can spend the night at the manga cafe tonight.

If Sakura finds out I spent the night at Tohsaka -senpai's house, it will be an even worse situation... I'll curse you even if I go to hell.

"... Sorry to bother you."

Shirou and Tiamat walked hand in hand into the entrance hall of the Tohsaka Family mansion.

After finishing Archery Club practice, Sakura Matou walked home from school with a heavy heart.

According to the Miyako, the senior seemed to have skipped class for no reason all afternoon today.

Teacher Fujimura also said that Shirou has been becoming increasingly outrageous lately, and that as his teacher and older sister, she must give him a good talking-to.

Sakura Matou felt inexplicably uneasy.

Is my senior alright?

I hope I'm not getting involved in some strange incident again...

I hope I haven't picked up another dangerous woman with unknown origins...

I hope there's anything I can do to help him.

Recently, during breaks between classes, I often see the upperclassman and the Tohsaka talking together.

It would be a lie for the girl to say she wasn't envious of such a scene.

No matter how hard I try, I can never become a perfect superhero like Tohsaka -senpai.

The only things I can do to help my senior are cooking and housework...

Overwhelmed by self-loathing, the girl unknowingly realized she had taken the wrong turn and entered a dark alley.

Just as she was about to return the way she came, she sensed a slight magical reaction coming from deeper into the alley.

It's best to contact Tohsaka -senpai about this.

Rin, as the manager of the Fuyuki City Spirit Vein, will be responsible for handling Magecraft incidents that occur in this city...

No, I am the future head of the Matou family.

One day, I will become a woman that my senior can rely on!

Is anyone there?

Sakura Matou gathered her magical power, she walked into the depths of darkness.

"...!"

A woman with purple hair was lying there.

She had a beautiful figure and long legs, and despite her frail appearance, she exuded a seductive and alluring aura.

Especially her beautiful long hair—it inexplicably reminded Sakura Matou of a snake.

Volume 8: Chapter 349 Newlyweds go to school together!

Shirou is taking Tiamat to school today.

Earlier, he had said he would ask for leave from school again to be with Tiamat, but was told that "skipping class is bad, you should study properly."

Rin also needs to go to school; we can't just leave Tia alone in that mansion.

So--

This resulted in Tiamat becoming a spirit and going to school with Shirou.

"~~~?"

Tiamat was in spirit form following behind Shirou, seemed to be in a good mood.

"I'm really looking forward to today's date!"

"It's not a date."

For her, going to school with Shirou was a different kind of date.

Before Shirou even woke up in the morning, Rin had already prepared lunch for him.
