Abnormal month

"Don't ask me about this."

Aozaki Touko, who always answers questions, kept silent when it came to this question.

"This is a topic that Roy must not touch. If he is willing to talk about it one day, you will naturally know the answer. If he doesn't want to talk about it, then you must not ask him. Do you understand?"

Seeing that Aozaki Touko had an expression that she would never tell you no matter how you asked her, Kasumigaoka Utaha had no choice but to stop asking.

She was full of doubts, but no one was willing to answer her.

Hayasaka Ai's heart moved slightly.

Is the topic that Roy must not touch the taboo topic that Rin Tohsaka mentioned?

Then, does the reason for Roy's mental abnormality mentioned by Aozaki Touko overlap with the "past three years ago" mentioned by Rin Tohsaka?

In other words, Roy's experience three years ago was the reason for his mental abnormality.

Hayasaka Ai felt that she had probably found the truth.

But for the sake of caution, she didn't say it.

Toosaka Rin clearly said not to touch his past, otherwise you can run as far as you can, which means that this topic is very dangerous.

Anyway, she is not from this family, and she will be able to go back after a while, so why bother herself.

"Are you ready? The bandages are about to be removed!"

An uneasy voice came from my ear.

It was pitch black in front of my eyes, and I didn't know what covered my eyes.

After a while, the things on my face were removed by someone, and my eyes opened subconsciously.

The light was blurred in my eyes, and my eyeballs were stinging, and physiological tears inevitably flowed from the corners of my eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the blurred scene in front of me gradually became clear.

The first person who appeared in front of him was an old man wrapped in bandages and tattered armor. I couldn't see his appearance clearly, and I could only judge from his voice that he was very old.

"Success! Success!"

The old man stretched out his wrinkled hands and trembled to touch his eyes. Excited tears flowed from his presbyopic eyes, wetting the bandages on his face.

The old man was so excited that he could not control himself, as if he had fulfilled his long-cherished wish. He looked at himself as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in history, giving people the illusion that "if he had to choose between him and me to live, he would not hesitate to give up his own life and choose me."

The passionate feelings were enough to move the saint.

His eyes could not help but moisten, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Not for the old man's long-cherished wish.

But for the light that he had been away from for many years.

The old man was very good to him.

Not only did he help me restore my light, but he also made more than 30 people in the small village worship him as a "saint", kneeling down to worship him and believing in him devoutly.

It was like believers kneeling down to Jesus, as if kneeling down to worship him could go to heaven.

He took great pains to help me make magic engravings, and no matter what I wanted to learn, he tried his best to help him build engravings.

Whether it was knowledge, power, or status, the old man taught and gave him everything with all his heart, and his sincere enthusiasm was never false.

That old man really treated him as his successor and cultivated him as his lifelong ideal, dedicating all his essence to him without a trace of impurities.

But——

"It's a pity that I can't see your angry and twisted face, which makes me a little unhappy!"

A fire burned the village clean.

He raised his head and laughed loudly, mocking the old man.

He denied everything about him and destroyed everything about him.

…………

Rider opened his eyes.

"In other words, this is the past of the Master."

His eyes were dark and unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He stood on the roof of the tallest building in Fuyuki City, and the eyes he released covered the entire Fuyuki City like a lighthouse, as if a pair of eyes could see the entire Fuyuki City.

Early in the morning.

A cool breeze blew, blowing the leaves in the farmhouse.

A hint of coolness came, making people shiver involuntarily.

Today seems to be colder than yesterday.

Roy poured a cup of hot tea and sat down in the corridor. In winter, the corridor would also be covered with glass to separate it from the front yard. Although the temperature was also very low, there was no cool breeze. Drinking a cup of hot tea was quite comfortable.

He pounded his lower back and smiled a little sadly.

"I have the will but not the strength!"

"So I told you long ago, do you want me to replace a part for you? You said no."

A teasing voice came from behind.

Aozaki Orange came out in a home dress. The white home dress was slightly loose, covering her proud body curves. Her bright orange-red long hair was tied into a low ponytail on one side of her chest, and the end of her hair was tied with a ribbon.

This dressed Orange inexplicably had a wife's flavor, which made Roy's heart beat slower involuntarily.

"At least say change the body, what does it look like to replace a part alone?"

Roy rolled his eyes and looked at Aozaki Orange speechlessly.

Aozaki Orange also came to the corridor with a cup of hot tea. She looked Roy up and down for a while.

"You look so exhausted, you must have vented it out, right? How are you? Do you feel any discomfort?"

"My waist hurts, and my kidneys hurt a little."

"It's your own fault."

"Indeed, you went too far."

"No, I mean, it's useless."

"Orange, do you want to quarrel with me?"

Roy jumped up from the ground in anger, pointed at Orange's nose, and cursed.

Aozaki Orange looked very happy.

"Okay, let's talk business."

Orange sat down next to Roy and drank a sip of boiled water.

"I don't need to say more about the curse on you. I believe you know it in your heart. You can bear it with your own will before, but it's hard to say after that. I don't need to say more about the reason. You can understand it, right?"

"Well, because I summoned multiple servants."

Roy curled his lips in dissatisfaction, sat down, and drank boiled water to moisten his throat.

A master can only contract one servant.

This is not only because the master needs to provide the servant with magic power, but one servant consumes a lot of magic. The magic power required by two servants is not affordable for ordinary masters.

On the other hand, because of the contract with the servant, the master has to bear a considerable mental pressure. There will be a memory and spiritual connection between the master and the servant, which will cause the filth in the servant's mind to flow into the master's mind. If the contract is signed with a servant with mental pollution characteristics, the master's mind will also be polluted.

Roy only had one servant, Souji, before, and the mental burden was very small. If the curse broke out, he could still withstand it.

But now he has contracted two servants, and the mental burden is much greater than before.

"The curse of the Holy Grail, the mental burden of multiple servants, and your original impulse to destroy."

Aozaki Touko looked more serious than ever, and her eyes were fixed on Roy.

"If you continue like this, you may collapse before you achieve your ideals - I want to ask you again, have you really made up your mind and have to do this?"
