Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Master Ritsuka-chan Goes to the Hanging Gardens (Final)

Ritsuka's group continues farming cacao, unaware of anything.

"Putting chocolate on real takuan..."

"It's tasty because it's takuan."

[There's probably no monstrosity like that monstrosity.]

Hijikata spreads chocolate on takuan and eats it while farming, and even the heroic Boudica is astonished to see him actually eating it. And after trying a bite... the reaction was that it wasn't bad.

Tap... tap...

"Huh? That's... Koyanskaya, right?"

Then, a woman staggering towards the farm. Ritsuka, seeing that face, thinks it's Koyanskaya, but...

Immediately, all Servants enter combat posture.

"Senpai... please step back. That is not Koyanskaya-san."

"Not her?"

"She looks like the goddess Andraste... What is that?"

Mash and Boudica protect Ritsuka, and immediately Hijikata and Jeanne Alter rush towards her, but...

Tap!

"Stop!"

Saber Alter blocks and stops the two. Even with her dulled intuition, she felt it was not a level they could handle.

Creek... creek...!

The menacing magical energy felt from her. Something divine yet menacing... It was the magical energy of an evil god. A brilliant light like the sun rises from her, brightly illuminating the sky where the garden is.

[I-Impossible... H-How could this...?]

[This is dangerous... To think something like this would happen without any warning.]

Romani is astonished seeing her, and the Queen of Sheba also feels the situation suddenly turning seriously abnormal.

As the light subsides, what reveals itself there is Japan's highest deity.

An evil god and the sun.

Amaterasu.

Originally, she should have only been able to return by absorbing the separated eight tails of Alter Egos... But due to her mental shock, a mythological mystic code that should have been reached in some world line has awakened.

"Wha, what is this pressure...?"

The air becomes heavy and hot enough to be felt even by Ritsuka, an ordinary person. Truly overwhelming.

An atmosphere heavy enough to overwhelm all Servants forms.

"That's enough! You can't take your anger out on innocent places!!!"

"We cannot let you ruin the chocolate."

And then, X and X Alter charging from behind her. The two attack her, but...

Kwaaaaah!!!!

"Gah!?"

"This is like the Death Star!?"

The two are pushed back hard by the solar power emanating from her. She was now a nine-tailed fox, having reproduced the nine tails she had lost.

"My my~ I don't know what's causing this... but could you calm down a bit?"

"Ho, Hokusai...?"

"Sorry sorry~ This stage is still too early for you guys. Since you're not yet at a level to challenge an event like this, please stay quiet~ This is, after all, the realm of adults."

Hokusai's atmosphere changed. Hokusai himself, borrowing his daughter Oei's body, walks towards Tamamo. Tamamo stares at Hokusai expressionlessly without a word. Hokusai gives an awkward smile and laughs as if troubled.

"This won't do~ You mustn't fight seriously without Master's permission~ But, it seems we'll both get in trouble, right? So~ Could you back off like this? Or... right here, right now, will you fight me?"

"...."

Hokusai in a serious atmosphere. Tamamo gazes at her intently, then turns her back. Her nine tails emit a dazzling light and sway, followed by her form disappearing along with a bright light.

"... Phew~ That's a relief. If we fought here, a small Singularity like this would have vanished. What did Master do to make that young lady act like that?"

"I saw it! I witnessed her seeing Koyanskaya-san sharing love!"

"Aah..."

[Oh no...]

Hokusai and the Queen of Sheba, knowing the relationship between Tamamo and Koyanskaya, immediately sigh, while the others, unaware, think it might be jealousy. Actually, since Dammiti's Servants causing trouble is a daily occurrence... they were used to it.

And then...

"What's up, I saw a big light earlier. What happened?"

"".... Trash.""

"Suddenly?"

The parties involved, Dammiti and Koyanskaya, appear.

===========================

It feels properly messed up. To learn the truth of all events, I first asked Scáthach who was nearby, and she immediately learned the full story through her Wisdom of Dun Scáith.

"Right, getting caught kissing Koyanskaya was honestly an accident. But... how was I supposed to know she was here in the first place!?"

"Right, I consider that part unfair."

No, I do sometimes skip events roughly! Because of real life or laziness! Of course, I never skip freebie Servants... But still? At least send an invitation!

Even Báthory knows to send invitations! Not sending one and then acting like this, what am I supposed to do!? This is unfair! It's just a forced setting to make me trash!!!

"Sigh... Did a Singularity appear? Or, she went to an existing Singularity."

"Hmm... Found it. She went to London, England."

"Of all places, England..."

Is that where Tamamo first appeared in the main story? Has trash London become a Singularity useful for medicine? Going to England, the root of all evil, is very Beast-like.

Not that I insulted England, but it's said that if you insult something and look, it's England, to the extent that England is called the root of all evil in world history. If the Nazis were villains for a short time, England was the world's villain for centuries.

Since the British Empire did countless outrageous things, it's no exaggeration to say it contains all the ugliness of humanity...

"But it seems she's not the only one with complaints."

"Who else?"

"Isn't there one left? The Beast who didn't come."

"... Double the trouble. What should I do with these extra heroines? Is it my fault for not calling them?"

"Well, isn't that also what they commonly call unfair, Master?"

"Sigh..."

Ah, what a headache... Since this Hanging Gardens is actually harmless...

"Here, take this, Ritsuka."

"Huh? Suddenly?"

"Chocolamisu is also of the Servant lineage, so you take her, and this place is your private property... So use it as a villa."

[What scale...]

"Is that possible, Doctor? There's no need to eliminate it, it's just chocolate, right? Somehow, it's a good place to visit, isn't it? And the interior is almost infinite. It could even serve as a Chaldea Hanging Gardens branch. You guys farmed here too, so use it freely."

"Then, what about Dammiti?"

"England was a problem from the start, so it's a place I've been somewhat concerned about. Having to go to London before Okeanos... This is the realm of veterans, you see. An apology... well, I'm not sure if I have anything to apologize for... I have to go soothe her."

Of course, I'll probably have to use some force.

"Sigh... But, it's a bit troubling. If our confident kids go like this, Tamamo will be intimidated... But, with this level of members going and overwhelmingly handling it, it should end safely at least."

[This is like world destruction... Honestly, you're the one who incinerated humanity...!]

[It's understandable for Romani~ But, still, not all the top combatants are gathered, right? Of course, if they all gathered, something like incinerating humanity would be nothing.]

"Sigh... Let's go, raid London."

Sigh... It's such a bother, you know?
