Skadi, returning to infinity

Skadi nodded, a colorful glint flashing in her eyes.

"Huh? They..."

Medea was about to say that these members of the Extreme Adventure Team were very powerful and that she was in danger.

But before she could finish speaking, Skadi turned to look at her.

"They're nothing special either."

"You go back first. I'll come back after I've dealt with them."

"Remember, no matter what happens tonight, you must get to the center of the battlefield."

His gaze drifted into the distance, fixed on the area that satellites had previously been unable to capture.

Skadi was completely calm; she had already made her plan.

"Let me come along; at least I can help you."

Medea didn't want to leave; now that her injuries had healed, she also wanted revenge.

"Revenge depends on timing; you are not yet capable of dealing with them."

"Don't try to do things you can't do."

"Besides, your presence there will only distract me, which is not a good thing."

Skadi smiled and offered some words of comfort, telling Medea not to do anything rash.

"Fine...okay..." Medea pursed her lips, her eyes filled with resentment.

He felt both resentment at not being able to take revenge himself and resentment at not being able to help his Master.

"Wait for me to come back. Trust me, I can do it. Also, when you get back, tell them not to come over, not to go out, and to wait until the sun rises."

When you get up, that's fine.

I don't know how many times I've said "Trust me," but every time I say it, it gives people a feeling of complete trust.

"I believe you, I've always believed you."

Medea pursed her lips, watching her departing figure, wanting to say something, but not daring to.

She took a breath, then flew up and headed towards the villa.

When she arrived at the villa, it was surprisingly untouched by any attack, and Rize Kamishiro and Kurumi Tokisaki were waiting inside.

"Huh? Where's Skadi?"

Kurumi Tokisaki was a little worried when she saw that she had returned alone.

"I was captured by those people before..."

Medea didn't immediately tell Skadi where she was going; instead, she recounted her own experiences.

Finally, she pointed out that Skadi was going to fight alone against the four agents of the Extreme Adventurers and one Heroic Spirit.

"You should have said so sooner."

Kurumi Tokisaki is ready; she won't let Skadi deal with the other agents alone.

"She won't let you go."

Medea wanted to lie, but in the end she told Skadi what she was told.

...It really is...

With a slight sigh, Kurumi Tokisaki looked at Rize Kamishiro.

Seeing the woman still sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, reading a book, he couldn't help but feel furious.

Aren't you worried about her?

"Why do you trust her less than I do, even after spending over a year with her?"

"This woman isn't the kind of person to act rashly. If she rushes over, it's definitely because she already has a plan."

"Just trust her."

"Or are you planning to do something reckless and ruin her plans, putting her in danger?"

After glancing at Kurumi Tokisaki, Rize Kamishiro lowered her eyes and said nonchalantly.

"never mind.

Kurumi Tokisaki was in a state of turmoil. She didn't know why she was so worried, why, why...

She knew the answer, but she didn't dare to face it.

While Tokisaki Kurumi was worrying, Tohsaka Aoi was also watching Ari inside the secret villa.

"Miss Ali, could you tell me about the real Skadi?"

Rin Tohsaka and the other two had already gone to sleep. The lights in the living room were not bright, and Aoi Tohsaka was sitting on the sofa, not asleep.

She remained silent for a long time, then turned to look at Ali, who was sitting on the other sofa, looking at something on a tablet, and asked.

"Sure, Mrs. Tohsaka, you can ask me any questions you may have."

Ali looked at her with a smile, showing no intention of hiding anything from her.

"...I want to know why Skadi is so fixated on us."

"Does she want to use us for something? Or...?"

"She wants us to threaten Shichen?"

Even now, Aoi Tohsaka still doesn't trust Skadi.

She wanted to hear from others what kind of person Skadi really was.

"Why? It's very simple."

"My master is someone who cherishes talent."

"And coincidentally, whether it's Rin, Sakura, or Kallen, they are all people with exceptional talent."

"So she has been working hard to have these three children."

"As for Lady Tohsaka Aoi, the reason why the master took a liking to you is probably because you are the mother of two children and can take care of them."

"After all, the master is very busy, and once he gets busy, there is no one to take care of them."

"So the master needs some people to help him."

"Madam, you just happened to be the one who was chosen."

Ali explained Skadi's reasons for doing so in a gentle voice.

"If that's all, she could... no, if she were to take my child away..."

Aoi Tohsaka originally intended to say that Skadi could simply hire someone to take care of them.

But then she realized that she was a mother of two, and if she let someone else take care of the children, Skadi wouldn't need her anymore.

?

If I don't need her, what else can I do?

Aoi Tohsaka immediately realized what was going on.

Skadi's obsession with her wasn't actually that deep; what she wanted were her two daughters.

After all, she knew very well just how powerful both Matou Sakura and Tohsaka Rin's talents were.

It's perfectly normal for Skadi to be interested in them.

The reason I was brought along is because I am the mother of Rin and Sakura.

In other words...

If she truly doesn't want to be with Skadi, then she'll have to lose her role as "mother" and be unable to care for her two children.

The thought crossed her mind, and she fell silent.

"Yeah... what am I supposed to do...?"

She questioned herself, then became caught up in a multitude of thoughts, unable to extricate herself.

Chapter 73: It's not just liking, it's love.

"Actually, Madam, you don't need to think about so much."

Ari is a perceptive person, and she immediately noticed that Tohsaka Aoi was caught in her own inner turmoil again.

This is not strange; it has been a daily occurrence ever since Aoi Tohsaka was brought here.

Or rather, she was in this state before Skadi met her.

But Skadi's arrival later made her much better, and she stopped overthinking most of the time.

However, after Skadi brought her here, Aoi Tohsaka fell into this state again.

And it's getting worse and worse, and increasingly difficult to change.

This can also be categorized as "depression," a knot in the heart that is difficult to untie.

"Hmm? What can I think then...?"

Aoi Tohsaka sighed softly; she really didn't know what to do.

"Think about it, if there are more things to do next, and you divert your energy to other things, wouldn't it be easier to let go?"

Ari's words seemed a bit cryptic, and Tohsaka Aoi didn't understand them.

"I...I don't quite understand what you're saying, Miss Ali."

"It's very simple." With a blink, Ali revealed some of her secrets.

"The place we're going to in the future won't be a safe place."

"There are diseases there that are currently incurable."
