[FMMISM] Chapter 88: What Kind of Wind Is Blowing Here?
🕑 Added 2024-08-10 01:08:25 +0000 UTCAt dusk, just before nightfall.
Ragna, feeling refreshed, pushed open the Zenjou residence's front door.
Standing at the entrance, Aoi reluctantly sent out the boy she truly cherished.
"Ragna... If you miss me, just give me a call, okay? I'll come find you right away."
Holding Ragna's hand, Aoi blushed as she made a promise.
"Yeah, I got it. I'll get in touch with you soon."
Ragna clasped her hand and nodded kindly, then leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"I also want to hold you again soon..."
His whisper made Aoi's face flush even more under the sunset.
"…Um, okay." Aoi nodded softly.
Ragna glanced at Irisviel, who was already sitting in the Mercedes, looking like a child absorbed in the joy of the steering wheel.
He took a step forward, ready to kiss Aoi's lips, but suddenly felt a pair of cold eyes watching him.
"..."
From several meters away, a pair of aqua eyes gazed at him, like two gemstones.
Over there, a figure of a young girl stood.
She had dense black hair styled in twin tails and was wearing a bright red dress.
Yes.
She was none other than Aoi's daughter, Tohsaka Rin.
Although still young, she had already inherited her mother's beauty, making one look forward to the girl's future.
"Mother, I'm back."
Rin came to Aoi's side and greeted her mother politely.
"Rin, you're back."
Aoi quickly withdrew her hand from Ragna's and gave Rin a loving smile as she looked down.
"Um, I came back from a friend's place... Who is this?"
Gazing at Ragna, Rin asked her mother with a guarded expression.
Truthfully, Ragna felt quite uncomfortable under her scrutiny. After all, despite her young age, Rin had a pair of keen, observant eyes.
"Well... this is Ragna, Mother's friend." Aoi answered with a smile.
"I see... Good afternoon, Ragna. I'm Tohsaka Rin. My mother has been under your care."
Rin nodded and then greeted Ragna with an air of maturity.
"Oh, hello, I'm Ragna, five years older than you. I often hear your mother mention you." Ragna nodded with a smile.
"…"
Rin scrutinized the boy in front of her, narrowing her eyes uneasily.
She didn't know why, but she could smell the scent of her mother and sister on him.

Along with Irisviel, Ragna rushed back to the Einzbern Castle as the sky darkened.
As compensation for accompanying him for an entire day and night, Irisviel, being his hostage, was granted a night off.
"Lord Ragna... I'll take Lancer out shopping now, and we'll be back before 10 PM."
"Oh, are you planning to drive to Shinto?" Ragna raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, why do you ask?"
'Just a bit of sympathy for Artoria.' Ragna shook his head, then answered, "...Nothing, just be careful on the road."
"Got it, I'll make sure Lancer stays safe."
Irisviel patted her chest confidently and, swinging the car keys, walked into the castle while humming a song.
After bidding her farewell, Ragna began to think about his plans for tonight and beyond.
In truth, winning Aoi's heart and cuckolding Tokiomi hadn't originally been part of his plans; it was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Nevertheless, it seemed to be a happy outcome for everyone.
Only the world where Tokiomi was injured had been completed.
'Well, I'll make sure your wife and daughter are happy, Tokiomi.' Ragna thought to himself. 'You can rest easy and meet the ancestors of the Tohsaka family.'
Even so, until this moment, there was still no new information on Zealot's situation, but it was certain that she was out of the picture.
Ragna was determined to find the real culprit and avenge her.
However, if possible, he also wanted to bring Zealot back—after all, he wasn't done playing with her yet.
As for tomorrow's plans, he would just take things as they came.
"You're back, Master."
Morgan's ethereal and clear voice suddenly came from the castle entrance.
Ragna snapped out of his thoughts and saw her walking gracefully toward him in an elegant black and blue dress.
Morgan quickly hooked her arm around Ragna's and flashed him a captivating smile.
"Master, you've had a hard time on your business trip. You must be tired. Just relax tonight and don't frown over the Holy Grail War."
Morgan's words, like those of a newlywed wife welcoming her husband home, surprisingly made Ragna's cheeks flush.
'What kind of wind is blowing here?'
Ragna instinctively glanced at the gorgeous woman beside him, showing a look of confusion.
'Why does Morgan seem like a different person today... so unusually attentive?'
Truly, that was close.
If he didn't know her true nature, he would definitely end up being her simp, doing her bidding.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go in, Master."
Without waiting for Ragna to react, Morgan pulled him into the castle.
===
Einzbern Castle, Dining Room.
"Master, this fried chicken was bought from a century-old shop in Miyama."
"Also, this seafood stir-fry… and this is beef stew with potatoes, bought from a very popular family restaurant in Shinto."
"For dessert, we have strawberry tiramisu from a newly opened cake shop near Homurahara Academy."
At this moment, the table was filled with a feast of delicious food, and Morgan enthusiastically introduced each dish to her Master, urging him to eat while it was still hot.
Today, Morgan seemed a bit off, but Ragna wasn't the type to hesitate or doubt. Since he had complete trust in his Servant, no matter what kind of scheme this woman might be plotting, he decided to fill his stomach first.
"…Did something good happen?"
As Ragna enjoyed his lavish dinner, he asked casually.
"Something good?" Morgan blinked her eyes and then pouted unhappily. "Can't I treat you to a nice meal if nothing good has happened?"
"No, that's not what I meant. You must have spent the whole day running around Fuyuki to prepare all this food. I feel a bit sorry for all your trouble." Ragna said sincerely.
"It was the maids who bought everything."
"Ahh… then it's fine." Ragna nodded awkwardly.
"By the way, Master, do you have any plans after dinner?"
"No, not yet."
"I see… Hmm..."
Morgan rested her chin on her hand, looking thoughtful.
Seeing her distracted appearance, Ragna sighed.
"Caster, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. I'll do my best to help you—"
"Can Master really help me?"
Before Ragna could finish his sentence, Morgan picked up the strawberry from the tiramisu and slowly placed it near her red lips, then delicately slid it into her mouth with her slender fingers.
Clearly, Morgan's whole act was sensual and alluring.
Gulp
Ragna swallowed hard, suddenly feeling that the seafood stir-fry on his plate was no longer appealing.
"Ah, Master… Do you want to eat a strawberry? Sorry, I didn't know."
Morgan covered her mouth, slowly chewing the sweet and juicy strawberry, grinning mischievously.
"…"
"Hmm~ It seems like I've made you lose your appetite. If you want to punish me, I won't complain."
In the Britain princess's clear and transparent lake-blue eyes, a dangerous and alluring glint now flickered.
Seeing this, the seasoned veteran Ragna immediately understood that Morgan was trying to seduce him. Although she hadn't used her Mystic Eyes of Enchantment, the strange sensation in the air was undoubtedly her trick.
If it had been an ordinary person with low magical energy, or even the once-human Ragna, he might have lost control and pounced on this woman playing with fire, pinning her hands behind her back and pressing her down on the dining table for a thorough and deep lesson.
However, since he had just spent a dreamy moment with Aoi, now, his mind was like that of a sage, devoid of lust.
Ragna calmly shook his head and placed the strawberry-less tiramisu onto his own plate.
"I appreciate the dinner you prepared for me. You're so reliable and kind, how could I ever bring myself to punish you?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Morgan's brows furrowed slightly.
She crossed her arms, pushing up her already full chest, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction with a pout.
Ragna sighed and returned to his meal, quickly finishing the entire spread.
With the meal finished, his sage mode was over.
"By the way, the Einzbern girl and Arthur won't be here tonight."
Saying this, Morgan stood up and came over to Ragna's side, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind. Her silver hair brushed against his face, and as he turned his head slightly, her stunningly beautiful face was right there.
"Master, come to my bedroom..."
With a seductive smile, Morgan whispered into his ear.
