"I have many kinds of tea here."

"Eh?"

Gareth was stunned when he heard Tamamonomae's words.

Having just sensed from Mashu that Chaldea was short of supplies, she did not dare to enjoy the things the fox demon brought out so casually.

after all--

If everyone else suffers while you enjoy yourself, that is selfishness.

As a British knight, Gareth didn't want to become like this at all.

This went against her personal code.

only--

Tamamonomae seemed to be able to see through Gareth and Mordred's thoughts, and quickly began to explain:

"Please don't have any psychological burden."

"This... is the dowry that arrived with me when I married the Master. In principle, it does not belong to Chaldea."

"So you don't have to worry about waste or anything like that - this is just my small sharing."

"..."

Mordred was silent.

Gareth just stood there in a daze.

She pinched her cheeks and answered only after confirming that she was not dreaming:

"You are kidding me - Father, he married you back?!"

"Yes." Tamamonomae responded to Gareth's question with a slightly red face, "I... just got married to the Master."

"In principle, I can now be considered your mother."

"but--"

Tamamonomae smiled slightly and looked at the two British "daughters" with quite gentle eyes.

"I don't need you to think so - that's too much to ask."

"..."

"..."

Tamamonomae's speech was not very impressive, but it deeply shocked the two girls in front of her.

They just stared at this fox demon who was not from the same era as them at all, and were unable to say a word for a long time.

It took a while for Gareth to recover and then he remembered to confirm the authenticity of the fox demon's words with Mordred.

"Xiao Mo."

"Is this true? Father, did you really marry her?"

"..."

Recalling the rather simple wedding that night and how he had eavesdropped outside the door with Ogarmari and the others.

Although Mordred didn't really want to acknowledge Tamamonomae in his heart, he still nodded honestly.

After all, she cared about her father.

"Yeah, it's true."

"Father did marry her - but he didn't let me call her mother!"

But this excuse is meaningless.

After all, if the father really married the fox demon, then she would be the mother of both of them in name.

This will never change.

Gareth patted his cheeks and adjusted his mood.

Let’s not worry about that for now!

Regardless of the other person's identity, what I should understand now is the "things about my father" she mentioned.

"that--"

The young female knight looked at the fox demon in front of her, her tone becoming cautious because of the identity of "mother".

"So, your name is..."

"Tamamonomae." The fox demon introduced herself very seriously.

It was obvious that she wanted to make a good impression in front of Mordred and Gareth.

"of course."

"You can also call me Xiaoyu or Xiaoyumo just like the Master."

"I also think this title is very good."

"..."

Gareth looked at Tamamonomae and nodded thoughtfully.

Although the other party had furry ears and a fluffy tail that most people did not have, in terms of appearance, he was very similar in age to himself and Mordred.

From this perspective, it seems that Ian, the older father, feels like he has married a young wife.

"I see."

"so--"

Gareth sat closer to his sister, trying to find a little more security.

"Tamamonomae, what exactly do you want to talk to us about? I feel like I know as much about my father as you do, right?"

This is not difficult to understand.

After all, as one of Ian's daughters, Gareth actually followed him to fight in Vortigern.

From this point of view, she felt that her understanding of her father was no less than anyone else - this of course included Tamamonomae.

"Well...if you consider it from your perspective, I really shouldn't know more than you."

"But——" The fox demon's eyes became much softer.

That was the feeling after recalling certain things.

"But if I say that I was saved by the Master, you will believe me, right?"

"Been saved?"

Gareth understood this sentence, but he couldn't understand what it meant.

She leaned close to Mordred's ear and whispered softly.

"Xiao Mo, do you know when your father saved her?"

"Eh?"

Mordred really doesn't know about this.

She scratched her face, and then said a little aggrievedly:

"Sister, if you don't know, how can I know?"

"But——" Mordred looked at Tamamonomae.

"Since my father was able to summon her, I think their relationship is indeed extraordinary."

"Um?!"

Gareth suddenly realized that he seemed to have subconsciously overlooked something.

"Xiao Mo... Tamamonomae, is she the Servant summoned by father?"

"Yes." The fox demon took over the topic very naturally.

"I was able to come to Chaldea because I heard the Master's voice."

"Although I have suffered a lot before this, it's all worth it."

"..."

"..."

Gareth and Mordred looked at each other.

After all, their summons can be described as peaceful and calm.

In contrast, the "suffering" mentioned by Tamamonomae made the two of them concerned - so there is a call for unrest?

"That--"

Mordred's tone softened a lot - after all, this was the first time she heard of such a thing.

"Am I to understand that you went through a lot of trouble to find our father and then married him?"

"Yes." Tamamonomae nodded, her eyes full of nostalgia for the past.

"It took me several lifetimes to finally be reunited with my Master, your father."

"This……"

Mordred looked at Tamamonomae's sincere eyes and knew that she was not making up a story to deceive him and his sister.

Gareth, who was standing by, also noticed it.

But compared to her sister, she was a little more cautious in her daily life among the British people.

"That--"

"What on earth did your father do to make you miss him so much—to the point where you would spend several lifetimes looking for him?"

Gareth asked just the right question, causing Mordred to chime in.

"Yes, yes! What on earth did father do to make you miss him so much - could it be that he saved your life?!"

There is no romance in Mordred's head, and this is the only answer she can think of.

But she was lucky as always.

Even such a casual answer hit Tamamonomae's heart.

"Yes."

"Xiao Mo, you are right." Tamamonomae's expression has become extremely moved, "Master... he did save me."

"What's going on?!/What does this mean?!"

Gareth and Mordred shouted almost at the same time.

"Um……"

Tamamonomae's eyes swept across the two girls present, but the scene before her eyes returned to the street where she met Ian in Heian-kyo.

That was the time when the fox demon was most frightened and wanted to commit suicide.

And his slight nod at that time gave her hope to continue living.

“Although you may not believe it.”

"But I once wandered alone for a long time."

"It was your father who saved me and gave me hope to live."

"At the same time, it also made me realize that my fate is not unchangeable."

"so--"

Tamamonomae looked at the two girls in front of her, her eyes becoming hazy.

"No matter what, I must pledge my love to him and become his eternal wife."

"otherwise--"

"I really can't think of any way to repay the Master's kindness."

After saying this, Tamamonomae wiped away her tears and seemed to be recalling something that moved her deeply.
