The Ring of Carnage

Be patient, I have a long story to tell. That Tamamo-no-Mae is one horrible Servant.

Now she's turned over a new leaf... I think? But when she was fully matured she was really terrible.

When a demon fox gains a tail, its power will grow exponentially. When it becomes a nine-tailed demon fox, its power is immeasurable.

When that happened to her, she became afraid of herself. Thinking that she would never get married like that, she ripped off her tails.

One of those tails became me, Tamamo Cat.

Okay, here you go, Master! Today I've made a magnificent lobster!

Wow...

？！

Here you go. Puting some lemon on it makes it even more delicious.

Wow... So this is the essence of human civilization... Through cooking, we've distinguished mankind from beast.

Just so you know, a cat made this. Hmm? ...Everyone, I am sorry to bother you when you're having fun...

Are you kidding me? A pointless enemy attack at a time like this? And inside the apartment even?

Loooooooobsterrrrrrrr!

It appears that they were attracted by the smell of the food! Since they're here for that, they're pretty tough! For some reason

Sh-Shadow Servants!? What's worse, they're all Berserkers?

Precisely. They're the shadows of the Servants who are always hungry!

These guys are more powerful than what we've faced so far! Be very careful!

And save the lobster! I want some, too! Very badly!

...Uh-oh. This is bad. Since I'm the same way, I can tell.

？！

It's bad. The way I am now, I can't defeat these brutes.

It's...like I was just telling you, Master. When we get serious, we turn pretty nasty.

I've put a seal on my Noble Phantasm until now. Master, will it help if I'm strong?

？！

Will you still love me if I'm strong?

？！

All right, then I have no choice. It's time to get serious! No more messing around from now on!

Lobster chop!

Lobster slash!

Guh! GheeAaaaaauuuuuugh!

Enemy Servants eliminated. Master, we successfully defended the lobster.

You're pretty good with that lobster, Mash. I'm sure you'd make a pretty handy wife in the kitchen.

W-Wife! No...well...uh...I have no experience in cooking...

Cooking and fighting are very similar! They both smell of blood, and are both just as exciting.

The greater the battle with the ingredients, the better it tastes. It's the same in relationships too. The one who wins gets to eat!

Oohh... That's an interesting take. Very informative. Please tell me more, Professor Cat.

(Fujimaru, are you sure you don't want to stop this? They're heading down quite a dangerous path...)

？！

But, finally my Noble Phantasm has been released...

When our spirits become filled with gloom, we lose sight of ourselves. This is a slumberer's paradise, between dawn and dusk

It's the physical manifestation of a pretty frightening tale, but I guarantee that it's easy to use. So go ahead and use it.

Master, from now on I'd like you to handle me with caution. Be strict, but sweet and sometimes gentle, all right?
