Personality is to like [Comprehensive]

Minamoto Raimitsu used the magical power bestowed by the Command Spell to maintain the last remaining vitality for Shota Kobayashi.

But this is not a long-term solution--

The magic power bestowed by command spells is limited, and Shota Kobayashi is not a high-quality magician, so he cannot supply enough magic power sources. Minamoto Raimitsu explained the Holy Grail War origin.

She is determined to seize the Holy Grail, in order to extend the life of her master and fulfill the wish of the master who made a contract with her.

However, Shota Kobayashi's second command spell is not about the Holy Grail.

Curled up in the female warrior's soft embrace with a faint fragrance, beside the feet was the man's body that had been taken care of and the head and body were separated. Kobayashi Shota tightly grasped the corner of Minamoto Raimitsu's clothes.

"...you'll always be with me, right? Mom."

His voice was very soft, and his posture was very low, but there was fear and obsession in his tone.

Minamoto Raimiko hugged him with gentle eyes.

"I'm Berserker, and I've already prepared for this class to be feared like a rakshasa... But you are willing to conclude a contract with me who is incompetent. I am really grateful."

In her soft voice like coaxing children to sleep, there is a sticky and heavy love hidden.

"I swear to you, Master. I love you like my own child—'mother' will never betray a child. So, please continue to love mother like this."

………………

No one knew of Kobayashi's death.

Putting the corpse on the sofa in the living room, and putting it in a very gentle and kind posture, Minamoto Raimitsu and Kobayashi Shota lived in this forgotten villa.

Like a real mother and son.

And it was one night when Shota Kobayashi realized something was wrong.

He woke up in the middle of the night, but found that the empty half of the bed was already completely cold, so he ran to the living room in panic, curled up at the feet of the maggot-ridden corpse, with one hand attached to the last Command Seal, trembling.

But at this moment, the door opened.

The female warrior quietly opened the door, and the moonlight leaked in from behind, illuminating her red lips, corresponding to the pair of purple eyes that shimmered in the night, like a charming ghost in a night talk.

Kobayashi Shota was taken aback.

The scarlet liquid slid down the corners of his lips. Yuan Laiguang wiped it off with his index finger, closed his eyes halfway, and sighed softly: "It's really... so rude. Let you see my mother like this."

Kobayashi Shota thought of the serial murders reported in the news these days.

He slumped on the ground, letting the female warrior approach with a blank expression, the slightly sweet smell of rust lingered on the tip of his nose: "Mom is, 'Heart Thief'?"

Minamoto Raikou knelt down.

Touching the child's side face with one hand, she bent her eyes: "Then Shota, do you hate such an ugly mother?"

Kobayashi Shota flinched subconsciously.

But when he glanced at the corpse beside him from the corner of his eye, he lowered his head silently, then stretched out his hands tremblingly, wrapping around the female warrior's waist, and closed his eyes without looking.

"……Do not."

Minamoto Raimitsu let out a muffled laugh, his chest trembled slightly, making no effort to hide his joy.

"However—unfortunately, Mom is not a 'heart thief'. The enemies of the Holy Grail War are a bit tricky, so I just used other people's leftovers for a while to replenish my magic power."

With her arms on the child's back, as if her body had turned into the most solid protective umbrella, the female warrior sighed in satisfaction.

"Don't be afraid, Shota. Soon... Mom will let you live. Sure, let us live together."

……

Shota Kobayashi didn't need to go into details about what happened next, and Yayoi Aoki knew it well - Minamoto Raimitsu seized the opportunity of Jack's injury and issued a one-shot invitation, and then used Jack to steal the Holy Grail and brought it back to renew his life.

Fujimaru Tachika also stared at Kobayashi Shota.

The child who was forcibly left in the human world by magic power and existed like a grieving ghost, was only about ** years old, with slightly brown hair and pale skin, especially those bright black eyes, which were hollow and fake.

He is the most innocent character in this tragedy, but he has to bear all the consequences.

Her throat seemed to be choked by something, Fujimaru Tatsuka couldn't even think of what to say for a while.

However, Osamu Dazai, who was used to the absurd and ridiculous things in this world, felt so bored that he wanted to yawn.People's definitions of "happiness" are similar, but the misery of poor people has its own version.

He was almost tired of the drama too.

The hand that strangled Shota Kobayashi's throat slipped down slightly, Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes, his gaze locked on the boy's beating heart, suddenly the corners of his lips twitched, and he was about to speak——

Yayoi Aoki's voice covered him.

"Then what is your obsession that you still want to stay in the world?"

She didn't feel sentimental about Shota Kobayashi's life, nor did she show contempt for his story. Like a serious listener, she cut straight to the core of the problem.

"Is there an unfulfilled wish? An unfulfilled hatred for your father? Or—"

Yayoi Aoki spoke up to this point, but did not finish.

She moved on to another topic.

"Mr. Xiaolin, in fact, there is no such thing as 'reincarnation' in this world? Even the underworld does not exist, and there is no such thing as reincarnation. Death symbolizes the end forever. But the human soul will dissipate, but the obsession will not."

Smiling slightly, Yayoi Aoki pointed to Shota Kobayashi's eyes—those eyes filled with black fog from the perspective of spiritual vision, and spoke to him word by word.

"Your father is dead, but his obsession is still lodged in your eyes. I can take it out and give it to you. You can dispose of it as you like."

Kobayashi Shota blinked his eyes slowly, seeing Yayoi Aoki for the first time.

Before Dazai Osamu, Aoki Yayoi put his hand on his heart, his movements were gentle but firm: "Then, you have to return my cup to me."

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai gave her a slightly surprised look.

"...I'm not reconciled...I'm not...reconciled."

Shota Kobayashi's body was trembling, and so was his voice.He looked like he was about to cry: "I haven't even graduated from elementary school! The teacher said, I'm very smart, and I will definitely become a scientist in the future—"

The beautiful dreams weaved in the past, when I mention them again, it seems like a lifetime away.

Yayoi Aoki stared at him quietly, brushed Shota Kobayashi's dry eyes with her fingertips, compassionate and calm.

"However, you are already dead. The world of the living has nothing to do with you. Even if you stay, you will not grow up again... You are a grudge wandering in the world, a strange alien. Even your father killed yourself Kobayashi-kun who can't even face the facts, I don't think you can bear that weight."

Shota Kobayashi was almost hysterical: "You are still alive, so of course you don't care!"

"I've died too."

Kobayashi Shota paused.

Being picked up from the floor by Enkidu, he tugged on the other party's sleeve, and smiled at him, not wanting the curve of his lips to disappear, Yayoi Aoki turned to look at Kobayashi Shota.

In a trance, she saw the young man who was always trapped in a wheelchair.

...better than water.

Although the scenes are somewhat similar, Kobayashi-kun and Xiaoliu are completely different types.

Yayoi Aoki smiled unconsciously.

"Death is not a terrible thing, the most important thing is not to let yourself have regrets... Accepting death and failure calmly is also very remarkable."

For there are many more tormenting things than death.

……

In the end, Shota Kobayashi accepted Yayoi Aoki's suggestion.

In other words, he realized that this was the best choice - even if he refused, Minamoto Raimitsu might not be able to defeat all of them and lead him to live on.

From a certain point of view, this transaction is actually the most gentle ending.

Yayoi Aoki took out the obsession lodged in Kobayashi Shota's eyes, and borrowed Yimulian's blood to allow him to temporarily gain spiritual vision, allowing him to see the small black mist with blurred outlines.

Yayoi Aoki told him that the obsession that is separated from the host is very fragile, and may perish even with a slight pinch.

Kobayashi Shota didn't speak, but held the black mist in his palm, faced Yayoi Aoki, and motioned for her to take the Holy Grail.

Minamoto Raimitsu with the knife sheathed stood aside, staring silently the whole time.

Because she was relatively unfamiliar with magic power, Yayoi Aoki took a step back and let Enkidu take action.

It will take a while to take out the Holy Grail that has been integrated into the host's body. Enkidu's fingertips are on Kobayashi Shota's heart, and he concentrates on manipulating the magic power——

But at this moment, Kobayashi Xiangta opened his mouth.

"Mom... We agreed to be together forever."

Sensing the restlessness of the magic power in Shota Kobayashi's body, Enkidu frowned, withdrew his hand, and covered Yayoi Aoki's eyes with his palm.

Exhausted from the exhaustion of spiritual power, Yayoi Aoki was caught off guard and fell into the darkness, only hearing Shota Kobayashi's humble and undeniable order.

"—Mom, die with me, okay?"

Then, there was the sound of blades piercing through the air.

Minamoto Raimitsu was still gentle: "Okay, Shota. As long as this body exists in this world, mother will love you forever, and swear to never betray you, and will always be by your side...including death."

Kobayashi Shota's voice gradually dropped.

"...so... I'm not... unloved...alone... right...?"

No more movement.

When Enkidu let go of his hand, all Yayoi Aoki saw was a pile of clothes and the golden cup that was still shining and spotless lying in the child's clothes.

That group of obsessions also dissipated.

Yayoi Aoki bent down to pick up the gold cup, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "Love or hate, maybe it has long been difficult to tell? Human obsession is really sad and terrible... right?"

Enkidu rubbed the top of her hair.

The king of Uruk, who came over at some time and finally watched the farce, stood behind her, and his shadow enveloped her.

Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was arrogant and determined, he couldn't tell whether it was comforting or teasing: "It is this that has the value of pleasing the king! It is this twisted and struggling moment that can burst out with light, how wonderful it is!" Interesting. Isn't it?"

"...Maybe, Jill. But I prefer a happy ending, where everyone is happy."

Holding the bottom of the cup loosely with her fingertips, Yayoi Aoki smiled slightly at Tachika Fujimaru not far away.

"What about you? Lixiang."
