Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

"What are you waiting for? Get in bed!"

The sudden, outrageous words left Samael speechless, his face filled with horror.

"Rin, are you sure?"

Then, the ancient snake calmed itself down a bit, looked at the walls on both sides, and gave a quiet reminder.

"I'm fine with it, but the left side is your parents' room, and the right side is your younger sister's bedroom. Also, it seems that your half-sister, Ellie, is staying here tonight as well, so you have another half-sister staying here, right?"

While it's true that parents committing crimes can be a unique experience, if someone were to act recklessly at home and get caught, they would suffer social death.

"Scum! Idiot! You pervert with your head full of lewd thoughts, what are you thinking! Get up there!"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's pretty face flushed red. Unable to bear it any longer, she kicked the bad guy in front of her onto the bed.

Is this for real? Is this a forced approach?

"Don't move, lie still!"

Just as Samael was being kicked onto the bed, his thoughts in disarray, he heard an angry rebuke in his ear, and his head, which had been pressed down again, sank into a very soft and elastic place.

The warm, smooth touch and the delicate fragrance that seeps into the nasal cavity are intoxicating.

Of course, the goddess's rather unfortunate bust size naturally couldn't achieve this effect.

Samael glanced down and saw a pair of shapely, long legs. They were fair but not sickly, with a healthy glow from exercise, and were fit but not bulky. The legs were slender and well-proportioned, making one want to reach out and touch them.

It's a lap pillow?

To be honest, I've been craving those legs for a long time.

After all, the young lady of the Tohsaka family is nicknamed "Legs for a Year".

However, at this moment, the warmth behind his head brought Samael not lust and impulse, but warmth and peace.

Gone was the carefree and arrogant Rin Tohsaka of the past. She sat quietly against the headboard, her hands clasped around the head in front of her knees. She gently combed the messy hair at the man's temples, her ruby-red eyes gazing at the face that had become one with her memories, and she murmured softly.

"It must have been very hard..."

Samael paused slightly, the few traces of nostalgia and emotion that had unconsciously surfaced in his eyes subsided, and he smiled with pursed lips.

"…fine……"

"It must be really tough."

Rin Tohsaka shook her head slightly upon hearing this, her eyes filled with pity, clearly having already understood the implied meaning.

"But thankfully, we're back. At least we won't let you bear everything alone anymore."

The goddess shifted her tone, offering gentle comfort, her movements becoming even more tender.

"Hey, Samael, what have you been through all these years? Can you tell me?"

"It's just some trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning."

"Then say whatever you can say, I want to hear it..."

Rin Tohsaka did not give up. She quietly looked at the man in her arms. The gentleness and persistence on his face were more lethal than her usual willfulness.

After a brief eye contact, the ancient serpent gave a wry smile and began to recount his experiences since the Holy War.

Three days to destroy the world, three days to create it, then resting at the bottom of Lake Avalon for a thousand years...

The mission of the stars is to mend the earth's surface, traversing the complexities and entanglements of Britain, and ultimately bringing an end to that sacred realm of the Round Table...

Prayer in darkness, steadfastness in light, the arrival of the indescribable, watching the saintess of the crimson lotus, embracing death, embracing faith...

They built a council, standing in darkness to protect the light, forging a new sword and shield for the star beneath their feet, allowing everything to endure to this day…

During his thousand-year wait, he gained much, but lost even more.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm..."

As Rin Tohsaka listened quietly, she gently stroked the head that had gradually sunk deeper into the ground. Her melodious, deep voice was filled with a tenderness that could soothe all wounds.

"The results weren't ideal, making me doubt the meaninglessness of my efforts?"

……

"That's not true. Don't blame yourself too much. All your hard work has been genuine. In the same position and in the same situation, no one could do better than you."

……

"You're not reconciled, are you? You're heartbroken, aren't you? And it's been tough for you, right? If you want to cry, just cry it out."

……

"Don't like crying? That's not right. Even gods have their limits and times when they feel sad. Too much negative emotion will eventually wear you down. If you think this way is too embarrassing, then lie here a little longer. I'll always be here."

……

The repeated comforting and guidance made Samael unconsciously feel an urge to cry. However, the tension that had been building up for so long was also quietly relaxing. A sense of weariness and exhaustion welled up in his heart, making him want to just fall asleep peacefully.

The goddess of heaven gazed at the figure in her arms, as peaceful as an infant with its eyes closed, and leaned down slightly to kiss the man's forehead, whispering softly.

"Don't rush, you deserve a better future."

However, everything before him gave him a strong sense of absurdity and incongruity, making it impossible for him to fall asleep peacefully.

Something's not right, something's not right. When did this woman become so good at comforting people?

unless……

Samael had a sudden flash of inspiration, as if he had suddenly realized the answer. He raised his hand and pinched the face that always wore a gentle and comforting expression, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he softly hummed as he revealed the truth.

"Aileen, stop messing around, it's you, isn't it?"

"..."

However, the goddess, whose face was originally bright and gentle, suddenly turned ashen-faced, her dark clouds gathering, and her clenched teeth made a grinding sound as if she were chewing bones.

"Samael, you big jerk! Go to hell!"

Instantly, a furious roar erupted. Samael, who had been comfortably enjoying his lap pillow, was kicked away by the Sumerian goddess who suddenly stood up. He was sent flying like a gecko, stuck to the wall in a "V" shape, and then slid straight to the floor.

Immediately afterwards, the goddess, still not satisfied, angrily jumped off the bed and stomped on the human-shaped object on the ground, cursing and stomping on it.

"I know you've been wandering outside for thousands of years, and I know it's hard for you to maintain the balance between the Earth's surface and the inner sea of ​​the star. I wanted to understand you and comfort you, but instead, you even tried to pin this kind of thing on that woman!"

"What's so good about that woman! She's gloomy, cowardly, and dishonest!"

"Besides, what do you mean? Is comforting people something only she can do? Am I, the goddess of heaven, incapable of doing it?"

The man struggled to his feet from the floor, offering frustrated explanations.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stereotypes! Stereotypes, okay?!"

However, when faced with an unreasonable woman, or rather, a goddess, the more you explain, the easier it is for her to find fault with you.

"Stereotypes? So that's how you've always seen me! You bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's anger soared, and she kicked the man who was constantly slandering her in her mind even harder.

To think that she, the dignified goddess of Mesopotamia, would lower herself to comfort the hardworking and meritorious guardians of the tombs.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he even doubted the authenticity of this?

Even in the past, I was at least the goddess of love and marriage, so was I really that bad?

Just as Rin Tohsaka was feeling indignant, memories of her glorious past surfaced in her mind.

Releasing the bull of heaven, venturing alone into the underworld, ravaging Mount Ebif...

Hmm, it seems there really is...

A series of heinous misdeeds caused this self-proclaimed kind and gentle goddess to freeze in shock. Even her kicking motion faltered due to a strange sense of guilt, and she began to reluctantly withdraw her foot.

This unexpected turn of events was hard even for her to believe.

Perhaps it's because this guy in front of me always makes me feel so sorry for him.

But now, it seems like all that's left is dislike!

Seeing the storm subside, Samael, who had been battered on the ground, immediately grimaced and straightened his dislocated nose, staring incredulously at Rin Tohsaka, who was glaring at him.

"Rin? It really is you..."

"Tch, what? Not satisfied? The Ellie you wanted is in the guest room downstairs. Go find her now, and get out of my bedroom right now! Immediately!"

At this moment, still furious, Rin Tohsaka shoved Samael toward the door.

"Men are all big pigs..."

"Waaah..."

However, her indignant cherry lips were suddenly silenced by a head that turned abruptly, turning her angry shouts into muffled groans.

At the same time, the arm that had been subconsciously pounding the man's back gradually weakened and unknowingly slid down to Samael's waist, locking it tightly.

"boom……"

The half-open door in the hallway closed again, and two figures, embracing each other, stumbled into the bedroom.

Chapter 189 Mother-in-law's Room Check? (4.2k)

Night was falling on the Tohsaka residence.

With a rustling sound, a slender figure in the moonlight quietly slipped into the corner of the room, nimbly climbed the wall, pushed open the window, jumped into the bedroom, and then let out a soft hum, furtively peeking towards the bed.

However, the sight that came into view made the blonde, red-eyed girl who had sneaked in pause for a moment, then she came to her senses and coughed lightly.

"how is he?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm asleep."

On the bed, Rin Tohsaka lay flat on her back with her legs together. She gently stroked the head in front of her knees, then turned her head and raised her index finger to Ereshkigal, who jumped in through the window, making a shushing gesture and whispering instructions.

They didn't steal any food? What's going on?

Eresh muttered to herself, glancing with considerable surprise at Rin Tohsaka, who was comforting someone on the bed.

"Hey! What kind of look is that?! Do you think I'm some kind of idiot who only knows how to have affairs?"

As twin goddesses who are in perfect harmony, Rin Tohsaka sensed Ereshkigal's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but roll her eyes and complain.

Is not it?

Upon hearing this, Ai Lei looked bewildered, her innocent eyes blinking.

"..."

In the eerie atmosphere, Rin Tohsaka, once again subjected to stereotypes, couldn't help but go crazy.

"My role in love and marriage is not just about seeking pleasure! Bringing peace to the home and providing spiritual comfort to loved ones is also one of my responsibilities!"

"Well, it seems... there is such a thing..."

Ereshkigal recalled Rin Tohsaka's specific divine duties, and looking at her younger sister with a dark expression and resentment in her eyes, she felt a little embarrassed.

Because her previous impressions were so deeply ingrained, she had almost forgotten that this girl also had such a comforting side.

"Well, she's more obedient when she's asleep."

After calming herself down a bit, Ai Lei sat up against the headboard, gazing down at the peacefully sleeping figure. She looked closely, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her ruby ​​eyes.

Immediately, the former owner, feeling playful, traced the contours of Samael's eyebrows and eyes with his fingertips, as if he were touching a perfect plaster statue.

"Snapped!"

However, before she could enjoy it for long, Rin Tohsaka slapped away Ereshkigal's mischievous fingers and began possessively guarding her food.

"mine!"

"Why?!"

Aileen, whose remembrance and reflections were abruptly interrupted, protested with some indignation.

"Good stuff, of course you have to grab it! First come, first served, no served. It's your own fault for not taking the initiative."

Rin Tohsaka glared smugly at her half-sister, then launched into a sarcastic remark. Her true colors were revealed as she brazenly pinched and kneaded the man's cheeks, thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Damn it, so you're saying you're going to eat it all by yourself?"

Seeing this, Ai Lei was furious, her clenched teeth grinding together.

"Why should I share this opportunity that I risked everything to get with you!"
