Director Liu Lingxia once again showed her extraordinary side.
Facing Matou Shinji, who had just saved her and was not an ordinary person, she was neither timid nor self-protective when facing unknown things. She was surprisingly calm and a little curious. Perhaps it was because of these characteristics that she and Little Jack became the most vicious master and servant in "Fate Apocrypha", setting off a bloody storm in Romania.
"You saved me?"
"Yes." Shinji walked to the windowsill and pulled open the curtains to let the sunlight into the dim room.
"Where's Sagara Houma? The blond man in the white suit."
"Dead, I killed him. See that black pool next to you? That's Sagara Baoma's ashes."
Shinji sat down on the windowsill, not looking directly at Sixth Director Reika for fear of losing his composure.
Liu Dao Lingxia stretched out a hand and gently touched the floor that was burned by the primordial fire caused by "Fehu". Sure enough, some black debris was stained on his hand.
Little Jack in his arms leaned over to his hand stained with black ash, wrinkled his nose and sniffed it, then sniffed the clothes of the sixth director Lingxia, and said, "Mom's clothes have the same smell as this, Jack doesn't like it."
"Well, since Jack doesn't like it, then-"
Then, Director Six Lingxia did something astonishing. She simply took off the only remaining clothes on her body and threw them aside, not caring at all that she was naked.
"Does the nasty smell still exist? If so, I'll just have to take a shower."
"No, no, no." Little Jack shook his head again and again, "I love my mother the most."
"Mom likes Jack the best, too."
Rokudo Reika's smile, which had nothing to do with charm, was imprinted on the window glass and was seen by Shinji, which made the latter certain that his choice was not wrong - this woman's personality was very suitable for the Holy Grail War, more suitable than most of the Masters of the Thousand Worlds Tree family. With her as a helper, he would be able to relax a lot.
"Miss Lingxia, do you remember what you promised me?"
"Remember, you saved me, and the rest of my life belongs to you." When saying this, there was no fluctuation on Liudao Lingxia's face, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Just remember. Now I will collect what belongs to me as agreed."
"Of course, but before that, could you tell me how to address you?"
"Black Assassin, just call me Assassin."
"Assassin? Does that mean assassin?" Her good family background endowed Rokudo Reika with knowledge that other prostitutes did not have. She could speak almost all the mainstream languages of the Latin family.
"Yes, I'm an assassin who specializes in taking people's lives. Are you scared?" Shinji deliberately put on a gloomy and terrifying look. His purple hair and slightly twisted expression could be put into an emoticon package.
Before the Sixth Director Lingxia could respond, little Jack, who had already regarded Lingxia as his mother, jumped up, holding a dagger in one hand, and entered combat mode.
Although Shinji didn't scare the Sixth Director Reika, she was a little scared by Jack. She quickly hugged Jack from behind and comforted him, "It's okay, Jack, don't be so nervous. Mr. Assassin won't kill me."
"Really?" Jack, who had been suppressed by Shinji twice, was still a little unconvinced.
"Really. If he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't save me. Right, Mr. Assassin?"
Rokudo Reika's calmness and rationality are exactly what Shinji admires.
"That's true, but living is often more difficult than dying."
"Ah, I know. I've known it for a long time. But even so, I don't want to give up my life, even if it's meaningless."
From a rich lady to a prostitute, no one knows better than Rokudo Reika how difficult life is. But no matter what situation she falls into, she never thinks of death. She wants to hold on to her life, want her heart to keep beating, and continue her life. This persistence, which seems meaningless to many people, touched Jack's heart.
"It has a meaning, mom. It must have a meaning. So, I will protect you."
Although Jack said that his wish was to return to his mother's womb, in fact, Jack, as a collection of unborn children's ghosts, did not realize that the essence of that wish was actually the inability to be born as a healthy fetus into the world. In other words, the children who gathered as Jack also unconsciously wanted to live, so she empathized with Rokudo Reika's persistence.
"Thank you, Jack." Director Liu Lingxia hugged Jack's hands even tighter.
"I won't comment on whether you live or die. However, I appreciate your determination to live. I hope you live and live well. So, Jack, can you please not point the dagger at me? First, it's useless. Second, we both exist based on the assassin job, and your magic power is still drawn from me. If I die, you can't live either. I don't ask you to rely on me as much as you rely on Miss Lingxia, but at least don't treat me as an enemy, okay?"
Hearing Shinji's words, Jack first sensed the vague connection between the two: "Promise not to hurt mom and not to do anything that will hurt. I hate pain."
"Don't worry, I won't, I promise. Although I'm an assassin, I still have some bottom line. As long as you do what I say and don't take the initiative to go to dangerous places, you won't be hurt, let alone feel pain. Besides, don't you still have you to protect your mother?"
At this point, Jack finally put down the dagger: "I believe you, assassin."
"If possible, I hope you can change your name."
"Then, assassin's mother?" In Jack's opinion, the way to express intimacy is to call her mother. She is a collection of countless children's ghosts, so she can have many mothers.
"Uh... Mom is a name for women, and dad should be used for men." Shinji corrected.
"dad?"
Jack tilted his head, and his natural and cute look instantly touched Shinji's heart.
"Hey~Call again."
"dad."
"You're so good. I'll treat you to some candy later."
At this moment, Shinji no longer had the eerie and terrifying look he had just had, instead he had a silly and happy expression on his face, causing the Sixth Director Reika to burst out laughing.
It was this smile that made Shinji realize the problem—Rokudo Reika is Jack's mother, and he is Jack's father, isn't this a forced relationship
"I'm sorry, I just think little Jack is cute and I like her very much, that's all, really."
This somewhat flustered apology made Director Liu Lingxia smile even more happily.
"It's okay, I don't mind. It would be fun to form a family with Mr. Assassin and Jack."
"When Ms. Lingxia said that, I really feel that I am a little self-inflated." Shinji breathed a sigh of relief, but his peripheral vision caught sight of the fair body holding Jack, and he was distracted again, and quickly looked away.
This little action naturally did not escape the eyes of the sixth director Lingxia. She followed up with: "Jack's father, why don't you dare look at Jack's mother? Is she so ugly that she is not pleasing to your eyes?"
The sweet voice with a seductive tone made Shinji's breathing become heavy again, and he quickly recited in his mind.
"There is the Supreme Hua Wuliang Zhu Hua Guang Tong Tian Di Sect Master - the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, please be kind and come and capture this demon."
PS: If Liudao Lingxia didn't have such a good compatibility with Jack, she might have summoned Scheherazade, whose spiritual core is that she doesn't want to die, doesn't want to die, and doesn't want to die.
