Onigashima.
An island of oni, a location that also appears in stories like Momotaro. In FGO, it appears as the location for an event where Ushigozen runs rampant.
Since it's a tourist spot recommended by Shuten... I wonder if there's even anything to see here in the first place. Why Onigashima and not Enmatei?
It feels somewhat strange, but... we arrived at the hot spring, said to be a specialty.
"It's a more proper hot spring than I thought."
A hot spring that seems maintained, though no one is around. There's also an inn where one can stay. A hot spring inn, a small hot spring inn.
"Was there originally something like this..."
"There was a teahouse, but originally, there wasn't. It seems someone prepared it for us."
"That oni girl has good intuition, you see. Perhaps she anticipated such an event someday. So, aren't you going in?"
"Of course I'm going in~"
And as expected, the hot spring was a mixed-gender bath.
Now without hesitation, I undress and enter the hot spring.
"Mikon!? You, you're going in without even covering up...!?"
"How unexpected. How much do you think I've been through with the kids? Just come in."
"That's right. It's unlike you to act so innocently."
Draco in adult mode also enters naked and soaks in the hot spring. Draco, who brought Japanese sake from the refrigerator in front of the changing room, immediately drinks.
"Well, though not as good as wine, it's drinkable. Even if the alcohol content is low."
"Umm... Well then, since I'm looking at you, my husband..."
Tamamo, feeling a bit shy, undresses and comes in. Still, she sits right next to me.
"Want a drink?"
"My husband, don't you dislike alcohol?"
"I drink when I need to drink."
I hand her a cup and pour her a drink right away.
"... It's sweet."
"Mine is bitter."
"Fufu... Because you poured it for me, it's sweet. I was originally in the position of serving. I wasn't in the position of being served."
"... I'm sorry, Tamamo. I didn't know you were that lonely. Well, there are already so many Servants in Chaldea, it's almost at capacity. I wondered if I really needed to summon more? I could have summoned everyone... but I was also thinking of Ritsuka, in my own way. I don't know how long I'll be here, and if I go somewhere else like in the previous Dream Holy Grail War, I won't be able to help Ritsuka. It was for her sake too, and also because it was a bit burdensome for me. If I were to summon, I was thinking of summoning the male Servants."
"Is that so. You had your own difficulties too, my husband. For a wife to not have realized that... I'm disqualified as a wise mother and good wife."
"Why disqualified over something like that? If a qualification is needed for that, I'll give it to you. You're a wonderful person, Tamamo."
"... Fufu, I'm not a person, you know? A nine-tailed fox that seduces men, no, seduces people regardless of gender~?"
"Well. At least, you probably aren't popular with suspiciously rich furries?"
"I'll politely decline from those people."
"You never know... If I were to become like that, your snout might pop out."
"... I'll try not to let that happen. I don't want you to develop such tastes, my husband."
"Hahaha! I, the Emperor, feel the same, my Rider. You, just love me as I am."
"You're giving me a sense of pressure~ ... I'm human too. I'm one person, and because of that, it's hard for me to take care of everyone. So mandatory defense battles are tough too~ So, please understand that point. Or are you going to try to increase my numbers?"
"That couldn't be. Because the Master is one person, that makes it all the more meaningful. I also decline you increasing your pace like Kama-san or someone else~"
"Hmm, it might not be bad... But still, you alone, just you yourself, are enough."
"Really?"
Really... Receiving so much love is difficult too. The love of Beasts is heavy indeed.
Leaving the hot spring, we headed to the inn's room. For an inn, there's only one room.
Wearing the prepared Japanese clothes, I headed to the kitchen to look for something to eat. There was no cooked food, but ingredients were plentiful.
"Fufu, I must show my skills! Though I still haven't reached Beni-Enma-sensei's level, I'll never lose in terms of love!"
"Do your best~"
Draco cheers from behind, and Tamamo prepares a full-power, soulful feast. It's so amazing I'm left speechless. A feast consisting basically of Japanese and Chinese cuisine.
Maybe she's emphasizing her dual Chinese and Japanese nationality. Well, though she says it's more Daji than herself.
"Mmm~ Delicious. Tastier than the food from the bakery."
"Right? Because it's a Mikon dish filled to the brim with love for you, my husband!"
"Indeed, it's splendid, Tamamo. Your cooking is always delicious."
"I wish the other Emperor would also realize her gratitude..."
"But that Emperor has improved a lot too. She's starting to become conscious of Boudica, and is reforming while spending time with my Rider, isn't she? So please acknowledge that point."
"I know that... But, still, she's a bit arrogant and, should I say, bothersome..."
"You're quite harsh even though I'm the Emperor."
"Nero's fundamental nature is that of a brat."
"My Rider, even you...!"
"Fufufu~"
The three of us have a splendid meal unbefitting the small inn, and afterwards, we think about what exactly we should sightsee here.
"I'm full~ It was truly an Emperor's meal. It's fortunate I have a blessing that prevents weight gain, right?"
"I'm glad you enjoyed it~ Well then... Next, how about tasting me...?"
When she seduces like this, I guess I have to give in.
From behind, Draco hugs me, and I feel her ample chest against my back.
"How about doing it all day today...?"
"That's impossible. But, isn't it enough to love you that much instead?"
"That's what's good about you, my Rider~"
But... dealing with two Beasts at the same time is tough... Will I survive today?
The overcast weather of Onigashima.
It was a demonic realm where only gloomy weather basically existed.
Onigashima filled with small, weak oni. However, all those mob-like small demons were dead, their necks slit.
"You've come..."
A warrior wearing heavy, massive armor. Then the warrior throws off the armor, revealing his original form to the world.
"The man that immature, childish other me loves so much... Just how capable is that vessel, I'm already curious. Whether he is worthy of my pledge of loyalty, whether he has the qualifications to be loved by my other self... I want to see for myself. It seems quite powerful beings have come... but it doesn't matter. No matter who comes, there is no fear."
Clank... clank...
"Master of Chaldea. I shall personally verify just how capable your vessel is... I, descendant of the Ox-Headed Heavenly King, the thunder god Indra."
