Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 293: Irisviel might forget her husband

Still, while he didn't know what was happening, Tamazuki somehow could tell why Aoi and Rin came in the middle of the night like this.

Or rather, there was only one reason why they came.

There must be something happening to Tohsaka Tokiomi.

While Aoi wanted to say something, Tamazuki said, "You two should rest first. We can talk in the morning. You don't need to worry. No matter what, I will protect you two." When he saw the hesitation on Aoi's face, he said, "Think about Rin-chan. She came here in the middle of the night, and you didn't even tell her the reason, right? You need to have a good rest with your daughter first. If you are worried, I can stay outside of the room."

"Tamazuki..."

Aoi looked at Tamazuki and was moved by his words before she looked at her daughter. From the beginning to the end, she didn't say what was happening and why they should leave their house so suddenly in the middle of the night.

Yet, how could she be?

Could she tell her that her father had passed away?

Could she tell her that her father was killed by his disciple and his Servant?

No way!

However, she knew that she needed to be strong since, as a mother, this was the one thing that she needed to do.

"Thank you."

"No problem. You can sleep in this room."

Tamazuki guided them into the room and helped them with their luggage. He was sure that it was a tough night for the two of them, so he didn't want to aggravate them any longer. He also didn't enter their room to accompany them, giving time for a mother and a daughter to be together.

Inside the room, Rin and Aoi felt at ease for some reason, especially when they knew Tamazuki was on the outside, waiting for them.

"Rin, how about we sleep together?"

"Un."

They lay on the bed together after changing into their pajamas and fell into a quiet night.

"Mom."

"Hmm?"

"You haven't slept yet?"

"You haven't slept either, Rin?"

"Not yet." Rin turned her head and looked at her mother. "Mom."

"Hmm?"

"I will become a respectable head of the Tohsaka clan like my father."

Rin might be a child, but her determination would put any adults in shame.

Watching her daughter's innocence yet filled with determined words, Aoi blinked her eyes before she hugged her daughter tightly. "Then, mom will help you."

"No, I will protect Mother! With Sensei too!"

"........"

Aoi looked at her daughter weirdly, but she nodded, feeling at ease with her daughter and Tamazuki around.

"Mom believes in Rin."

---

When the mother and daughter slept, Tamazuki returned to the world of shadows where everyone was waiting.

"Tohsaka Tokiomi was killed?"

"It seemed he was betrayed by his student and Servant."

"........"

Saber was at a loss, then frowned, thinking about the golden servant with disdain since that guy had betrayed his master.

Only Irisviel looked at Saber silently with a helpless smile.

Did Saber betray her master?

No, Saber was simply unable to do anything since they were defeated thoroughly.

Nevertheless, all of them understood why Aoi and Rin came to his house. After all, except for Tamazuki, who could they trust in this world? It was normal for them to rely on Tamazuki.

Still, watching Tamazuki, who was gentle with Aoi and Rin, Irisviel was at ease since it meant if she brought her daughter, he wouldn't mind either.

Frankly, Tamazuki didn't expect that he would become a stepfather, but it might be the price to take down a married man, and this price? He was willing to bear it.

"Then, should we take down Archer?" Saber asked. Avalon was returned to her, and if she wanted to, she could open the seal of the Excalibur.

By then, who could defeat her?

"No, let's take Archer later. I plan to take down the Berserker first."

"Berserker?" Saber raised her brow and thought about the black Servant who suddenly attacked her like a madman. While she wasn't sure why that Servant did that, she would be lying if she didn't feel angry.

Meanwhile, Scheherazade glanced at Saber without saying anything before she looked at Tamazuki.

Was this his bad hobby?

Why did he plan to meet Saber and Berserker?

Though Scheherazade would be lying if she wasn't curious about what would happen when Saber met each other.

If Saber was still in the past like before, Scheherazade didn't doubt that Saber would be in a mess as she was caught in her guilt, thinking that the fall of England was her fault, yet she was different now, especially under Tamazuki's influence.

Who was at fault?

There was no doubt it was the noble, also the knight, who betrayed her by sleeping with her queen, and also her queen, who let herself be seduced by a mere knight.

Nevertheless, such a problem wasn't something that should be talked about now since tamazuki had something to do.

"How do you feel, Irisviel?"

"Ah?" Irisviel was confused. "What do you mean?"

Tamazuki approached Irisviel, who sat on the sofa quietly without moving, and held her hand to check her condition.

"Tamazuki, what happens to Irisviel?" Saber was confused.

"Her age is about to end soon."

"........."

Saber blinked her eyes and kept staring at Tamazuki, hoping that he was joking, but he wasn't. She then looked at Irisviel, who showed an awkward smile.

"Irisviel..."

"Sorry, Saber..."

"No... no... why should you say sorry?!"

There was no need for Irisviel to apologize, but... but...

Saber felt that her heart arched since there were many things that her previous Master and Irisivel had never told her. While she knew that they were strangers that had only met each other under the Holy Grail, she had vowed to serve them as a knight, yet it seemed wasn't the case with them.

While Saber was caught in her sadness, Tamazuki didn't say anything and used the new development of his ability that he got from Irisviel.

Immorality.

He used it on Irisviel with the help of Ava, and as expected, Irisviel's vitality deteriorated at the speed visible to his eyes and recovered at the fastest speed. By now, as long as he was around, Irisviel was simply immortal.

"Well, that matter is solved now."

"Eh?" 2x

Suddenly, Saber and Irisviel let out a strange noise as they looked at Tamazuki with doubt.

"Irisviel's problem has been erased, and she can live well now. You don't need to worry."

Saber and Irisviel wondered what they should say at this moment.

Wow, amazing!

Should they say that?

Yet, they couldn't since they were caught in sadness as they thought Irisviel would die soon, but Tamazuki told them that their problem was solved.

"You are my woman, after all. How could I let you die, Irisviel?"

Tamazuki gently caressed Irisviel's pale and soft cheek. Still, because of this, he could be relieved, knowing that he could take care of Shizu's problem.

"............"

Irisviel blinked her eyes and felt afraid that she might forget her husband soon.

"Well, I have helped you. Shouldn't you give me a reward?"

"............."

Looking at his cheeky smile, Irisviel let out a helpless sigh before she pulled him into their room, ready to give him a reward for his hard work.
