She is dressed in black and has white skin, she looks elegant and noble, and the skin underneath the black clothes is surprisingly white.

There is powerful magic power concentrated all over his body, and it can be said that he is a magic block with a human appearance.

His clothes were full of aristocratic style, and he was filled with the supreme pride of aristocracy. He looked down from above at the pitiful creatures crawling on the ground, giving people this feeling.

It is completely different from the Chimera, Golem, Magic Beast, or Automata that have been distributed inside this maze so far.

At the same time, he is not a heroic spirit.

He is an immortal who feeds on human lives, that is, a vampire.

Although they are vampires, they are different from the True Ancestors and Dead Apostles that Rhodes is familiar with.

Neither a touch of the planet nor a monster transformed by a magician, this vampire is the embodiment of fantasy.

Vampire Ramuelos.

A monster in ancient Greek mythology. The glutton, the night walker.

There are many different opinions about the blood-sucking monster Death Cui Ge in Eastern Europe. There are many theories about its formation, including that it is the result of the death of a sinful person, that a person is killed by the monster, or that a person dies from many curses, etc.

But Ramuelos is different. They are all originally accompanied by death and are greedy for life.

Maybe it is related to Lamia, a monster from the Age of Gods. It looks like a human, but it is something completely different.

A humanoid death monster, the fantasy species Ramulos.

“As both of us are intelligent beings, let’s start by introducing ourselves.”

The man who interrupted the conversation between Rhodes and Aige bowed exaggeratedly.

The vampire put a hand on his chest and spoke in a high, operatic voice.

“My name is Wolfgang Faust. Humans classify me as an ancient fantasy, a mysterious manifestation. Something that does not exist in the normal system tree.”

“Who asked you?”

Rod raised a finger at him.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

The next moment, the elegant vampires that had survived from the mythological era were turned into dust and scattered everywhere.

There is no way to resist.

All that remained of the King of Illusions were a few specks of ether.

“Really? You can’t just listen to me and finish my self-introduction, right?”

Ai Ge put her hands on her hips, puffed up her cheeks cutely, and lectured: “Mom doesn’t remember raising you to be such an impolite child.”

Rhodes scratched his cheek and turned his head away: “That guy is really annoying.”

“He hadn’t shown any hostility towards us yet, and there was still room for us to talk…but Rhode killed him just because of a disagreement. Isn’t that too much?”

Aige said as if it was a matter of course.

There is no doubt that her statement is a universal truth.

But even with such a positive argument, it would be absolutely unimaginable if it were applied to the love songs of the past.

Because this is the “morality of the human world”, it is not applicable to Aika Sajo.

When Rhodes first met Aika Sajo, she was still a young girl with no ethics or morals.

Because she is the embodiment of truth, the girl who can accomplish everything.

If you have life, make such a wish and life will come into being.

Let there be such a whisper of death, and death will spread.

It can be said that the world is connected to her and she is connected to the world.

She’s basically all-rounder.

Nothing is impossible.

Anything can be manipulated, achieved, or destroyed.

I set the constraint of “not looking at my own future” for my omnipotence, just to maintain the bottom line of “being human”.

In terms of results, it is effective.

At least she was able to do something.

Waking up from sleep in the morning, opening eyes, breathing, looking up at the sky outside the window, listening to the birds singing, turning your clear gaze to your father, and so on.

Finally, I was able to do this and that with magic according to my father’s instructions.

Although he cannot shed tears like his father and mother when facing his newborn sister, he can at least poke her cheeks with his fingers to confirm that she is soft, just like other humans.

Although I don’t feel anything about it.

Finally I can survive.

But, that’s all.

Tick. Tick. The second hand of the clock moves forward.

Tick. Tick. Today becomes tomorrow.

Her spirit became increasingly stagnant.

See it all, own it all, understand it all.

The world and oneself are intertwined and merged into one.

At the end of selflessness, looking at the pure white purgatory, I sit on the throne.

It can be said that she is almost a goddess.

It is simply too difficult for humans to survive as humans.

She had no choice but to survive as a living ghost.

“But, it’s okay. This will be fine.”

She doesn’t care.

Even dying while living.

Even living while dying.

I lived day by day without feeling any pain, hardship or sorrow.

Because there is still fun to look forward to.

That was the “future” she had seen before putting herself in shackles.

That is, as long as the world remains the world, the “result” will definitely come.

When I participate in the Holy Grail War and become a Master, I will encounter a destiny that I cannot see with my own eyes.

That’s right. Yes, that’s it.

In other words, the moment she knew she would “encounter her destiny”, she stopped observing her future.

Originally, she was able to know her destiny, grasp the future, and even compile events and choose the future like using the silk thread of the world and time to twiddle her thumbs. She could decide any possibility completely according to her heart and choose the days she wanted to live in.

But she didn’t.

With a smile and without hesitation, she closed her eyes to the future.

Thus, the fateful day arrived.

After a few years in chains.

This happened in 1991 AD.

One day in February, Aika Sajo became a mother.

Her child was a tyrannical beast with more authority than the Root Princess.

But he is a beast that longs to be human at heart.

In response to his cries, Sajo Aika chooses to become his mother.

Since you are going to be a mother, you should learn about human things.

Unconsciously, Aika Sajo gradually integrated into the human world.

Start thinking like a human.

Begin to rejoice as a human being.

Begin to grieve like a human.

I started to have love troubles like humans.

What is the most important factor that distinguishes humans from beasts?

Materialists would say it is “wisdom”.

Idealists would say it is “love”.

But perhaps the biggest difference between humans and beasts lies in “morality”.

In order to maintain the most basic sociality, humans need to suppress their instinctive desires, and such power is morality.

Ai Ge also tried to understand human morality.

Perhaps because Aika Sajo is a natural genius, even she can understand morals that are beyond her reach if she wishes.

Perhaps because maternal love can conquer everything, even Sajo Aika accepted human moral values ​​for the sake of her beloved young son.

anyway.

From that day on, Sajo Aika became a human being living in the world, burning her life with all her might.

Before she met Rhode, she was just “a god with the functions of a girl”.

It was not until she experienced love that she became “the God-function that became a girl”.

Some people may think that this is the fall of God.

Perhaps, it can also be said to be the coming of God.

No one in the world can say for sure which side it is.

anyway.

On that day, a boy named Rod was not the only one born into the world.

There is also a girl named Sajo Aika.

……

……

……

“Don’t do this next time, okay?”

Ai Ge put her hands on her hips and scolded, “Even if he is a stranger, you should listen to him carefully. You can’t kill him without saying hello.”

“Know it.”

“Do you really know?”

“Really got it.”

“Hoo, hoo, good boy, good boy.”

The little episode, which couldn’t even be called a disturbance, ended here, and the final boss of the maze was killed instantly before he could even finish introducing himself.

In this way, Rhodes and Aige are the true masters of the maze, and the Holy Grail becomes their property.

“Then what shall we do…”

Rhodes looked at the girl with platinum hair again. She was holding the Golden Holy Grail tightly and was unwilling to let go.

“Has Aige decided what wish she wants to make?”

“Well… I want this Holy Grail to stay with me from now on.” Aige narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

“Huh? Can this be considered a wish?” Rhodes frowned in dissatisfaction.

“Why doesn’t it count?” Aige asked unconvinced.
