Fate_Hero back

Tenderly supporting her own girl.He regards her as his childhood sweetheart who will never grow up, and cares for her helplessly and with a little pity all the way.

However, that was just Shibata—the false life constructed by his own biological father and constructed with psychological hints.

(...Ah, what an irony. The only memory that makes my chest warm when I think about it...the childhood spent with Kaori, never existed from the beginning. The bond with her is the same, it is all delusional and lustful product.)

The real Nanakusa Izumo is not the ordinary high school boy he thought he was, but a magic product that was only two years old.Like Lijielit, the artificial human who serves Illya, it is an enhanced combat familiar developed by imitating Servant.

So, who is the real Kaori Shiratori...?

What was the girl's name, who was she with, and what kind of life was she living with before she was kidnapped and used by Shibata, before a fake time spent with Izumo was implanted in her brain that didn't exist?

——There is only this point in the heart of the puppet, which should be empty, and it cares very much, very much.

Want to know, that girl's real life.

She gave him the meaning of existence as a human being, at least for her to regain a stable and peaceful life as a reward.

At the moment when the young man gritted his teeth and made up his mind, the door suddenly swung open with a dry "squeak".

"Yeah. You're in good spirits, boy."

Himizaka Kurumi didn't treat herself as an outsider at all, and strode carelessly close to the bed, pressed down on Izumo's forehead and rubbed it vigorously.

"Very good, you still have the spirit to care about the little girl. It seems that you are recovering well."

"........."

Izumo stared coldly at Hu Tao's arrogance that was much more blunt than usual, and only after her teasing subsided, he said in a hoarse voice:

"...Auntie. You know?"

"Uh……!"

Hu Tao was hit by the straight ball suddenly, and his fingers twitched immediately as if electrocuted.

"...Well, you get it."

This time, the questioning tone in the boy's voice was completely gone.

Do you understand?

You know it.

——I am not human.

——The body cultivated by instruments and solutions, the character set by precise calculation, and the artificially woven memory.It is a false and ugly fake that should not exist in the world.

"...Well, I heard a little bit from Yuu. You are the brat...you know too?"

Knowing that there was no way to shirk, Hu Tao simply put on a relaxed and rascal posture, pursed her lips and whistled softly.

"Ah. There was an accident when I was sent to run errands last night, and the hint was lifted."

"..."

Before leaving Ogata's house, the last piece of information Yu confided to Kurumi was about Nanakusa Izumo.

[Little Hutao, you seem to like that beautiful boy with a cartoon face.But you have to be careful, that face is a man-made product that is less reliable than a plastic surgery star. 】

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, facing Nanakusa Izumo's gray and cold expression, she still felt a faint chill in her heart.

——The boy's eyes are too similar to his former self.Whether it is the puppet made by Shibata or the human pillar made by "God", in the end, it is all up to fate, life and death are up to people.

Although he showed a free and easy senior style in front of No. 46, Izumo was not as strong as he imagined.Seeing Hu Tao looking down at him in silence, the young man was the first to speak in a muffled voice:

"...Feeling sick? I can understand that. I'm nauseated right now too."

"Don't be kidding, brat. What's 'not human'? Neither am I, nor is the woman you're in love with, and we haven't grown up yet? You just slept in a dream for two years, and then you just have to face Just live with your head held high and your chest held high.”

Hu Tao almost gnashed his teeth as he spoke, once again using all his strength to hold down the boy's furry head.

"If there's anything I'd be disgusted with, it's me. I should have figured it out... the first time I tied you back to the apartment, I should have seen your true self."

"……what?"

Izumo raised his eyelids in astonishment, his gloomy face was filled with life for the first time.

"It's your name...'Seven Grass' is the name of a festival, which is the Seven Grass Festival on January 1; 'Izumo' is also a place name. The name of a person composed of time and place, no matter how it sounds, it lacks human flavor. But I At that time, I was busy planning the Holy Grail War, so I didn’t pay much attention to it, I just thought your parents had strange tastes. Thinking about it now, this was the worst mistake.”

Hu Tao's words were uttered smoothly in half, but they suddenly stopped in his chest for no reason.

"The original meaning of the name 'Nanakusa Izumo'...is..."

If she said "that matter" that she had just realized, the boy would definitely lose something irreparable.

However, there are bound to be things that can only be seen through the window paper.

Hu Tao was originally not good at comforting or encouraging others. The most she could do was throw the reality naked in front of the boy, and then asked him coldly, "Where are you going?"

So now, there is only one thing she can say to him.

"——'January 1th, from Hibari Kyoya'. That's the whole existence of 'Nanakusa Izumo', right?"

"..."

What a wild guess.However, the boy didn't seize the opportunity to retort, but just stared at his palms hanging on his knees.

Every line in the palm stretches naturally, but it looks strange beyond words.

"...Ah, that's right."

A hollow, self-deprecating voice.

“[Father]… That guy said so. Android No. 18—that is, me, is based on the two-dimensional popular idol that I accidentally saw on the Internet, and I made it on a whim. From From appearance to personality, they are all copied and pasted without any deletion. Except for the setting of "Protecting Kaori" and the fake memory implanted in the later period, nothing is my own. In addition, my personality in the past two years is also the same as the original setting. If it deviates by a hundred and eight thousand miles, it will lose even its value as a counterfeit."

The qualifications as a human being, the things that should be guarded, even one's own personality and name.

In the end, there was nothing left of the boy.

The artificial life of "Seven Grass Izumo" in just two years was nothing but nothing.

…………

——…It was supposed to be like this.

"Ah, that's true. But boy, are you a good man?"

"……what?"

"Well, Skylark-kun... your prototype is indeed handsome and powerful. I was also a die-hard fan of him in middle school... when you are an imitation of that guy, it's no wonder you get so upset..."

After all, she is not good at enlightening people with the truth, Hu Tao turned her face away in embarrassment and scratched her temples.

"However, in the past few years, you have grown into a good man who can stand alone. You have a pretty face, you can fight, and you can take care of girls. Your mouth is a bit cheap but your heart is upright... Although you can't beat the prototype. Together, it’s not surprising that you’re scolded as a substandard product as an ‘imitation’, but as a ‘human being’, you’re really outstanding enough.”

"..."

"Hey, hey, don't look at me with that little animal's eyes, the character image is broken?!"

"Ahhh. You said just now that I'm already in charge, but now you're asking me to use the image of a prototype?"

Seeing Hu Tao moving his face away in a hurry, the thick haze on the young man's face was swept away, and he narrowed his long eyes cunningly.

"It's really sad. It's hard to change your mind about you, but in the end you're just a grumpy and inconsistent menopausal aunt..."

"'Seven Grass Izumo' doesn't have a small animal attribute?! Ahh, that's enough. Sure enough, there is no cure for your nature. If you are a little gentler to you, you will poke your nose and dig your eyes. You will still be a puppet all your life and die of emptiness. Calculate--"

"...Thank you."

A voice as subtle as the wind blowing willow leaves, but clear and recognizable.

Hu Tao didn't know how much fragility and tenacity was contained in that voice that was squeezed out with all her strength.All she knew was that the boy in front of her would never grow into a twisted human being who was full of revenge on society.

That's enough.

"...What are you doing?"

Walnut breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously raised his hand again to reach Izumo's soft head.

"You kid, frankly speaking, you are not very cute..."

"—Miss, please respect the old and love the young in moderation."

Before the woman's fingertips could touch the boy's hair, the heroic spirit who appeared from behind grabbed his arm.She turned her head unexpectedly, and was facing the young man in green with a face full of discontent, as if someone had just slapped him on the cheek.

"I admit that this guy's combat prowess is worth looking forward to, but you don't have to be so gentle with him. Let me tell you, it's not like the lady doesn't have her own Servant, and there's no point in being courteous to the enemy's familiar."

"Archer, if you're jealous, please use more clever terms..."

"what."

Before Walnut could finish distinguishing, a monosyllable jumped out of Izumo's voice in a daze.

The master and slave in the dispute followed his gaze, and immediately fell silent with their mouths open.

"Come out... Lord Yun..."

The boy's sleeve was also pulled at some point.

The frail girl who has been in a coma for a day and a night can't hold back her trembling eyelids, her eyes are wandering, her voice is weak, but her thin white fingers are tightly clung to Izumo's wrist, which looks very much like a scene of a Korean drama heroine dying.

"If you have a heart... no... can you... yo?"

—Well, the third figure woke up.

—for some utterly boring reason.

The author has something to say: Finally... the protagonists are gathered together [Chest Touch].Kaori and Izumo are hidden lines, and there is not much involved in this movie, and they will continue to appear in World War II.Now you guys understand the connotation of "Hutao is the heroine and Izumo is the hero, but they are not CP"...

Izumo's name is the file record of "From Skylark on January 1th", there is no doubt about it.The prototype of the character is Ryunosuke, the male protagonist of "Sword Girl". This guy has been plagiarized because of his skylark face, but he has a good personality, and he has tenderness. "A good man" has a long history.So how good it is to be original, easy to get along with and not afraid of collapse... [Be strangled to death

Cough, to get down to business.The story of Izumo is a process of finding oneself.He has no name, no memory, no existence value and no shelter, not even the identity of a "person", but there are good guys who treat him as a human being - just this, can be a reason not to give up.I like this Izumo very much, including his face of course.

41 The Third Act Deathmatch Begins

【Otaku Holy Grail War·Fourth Day Late Night】

[Roof of a tall building in the city]

…………

The knight is standing in the wind.

It was a young girl with a beautiful face and a shining silver armor. Her long sand-gold hair was carefully combed behind her head, showing her rigorous and slightly rigid personality.The slender and elegant neck like a white crane, the soft and fair skin of a girl, and the holy green pupils are as clear as the best jasper.If she took off the swearing holy sword of the oath in her hand, this girl must be very suitable to wear elegant and beautiful dresses, and linger among the flowers by the water day and night.

However, for King Arthur——Artoria Pendragon, such a leisurely and beautiful picture is, after all, an absurd fantasy that cannot be touched even in dreams.

"..."

The girl silently overlooked the scenery she had seen for several days, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palm.

"It's really good to go on like this... Huh?!"

The familiar coercion that suddenly emerged from behind made the knight who had just let out a half-sigh suddenly tense up his nerves. Like a lion waking up, Saber raised her holy sword and turned around sharply. The eyes that were shrouded in confusion a few seconds ago were only left with empty fighting spirit.

When she saw the golden figure bathed in the bright moonlight, her tense and hostile expression relaxed for a moment.

Compared with Shibata Mamoru, the cruel master who bound his actions with Command Spells and blood relatives, and distorted his beliefs, even the invincible second king in the past seemed a bit amiable.

"...Is it you, King of Heroes? You and I are still hostile. What's the point of visiting late at night?"

Although the expression softened somewhat, the girl's voice was still cold.

Different from the reserved and noble posture of the King of Knights in the orthodox Holy Grail War, Saber at this time is more like a caged animal chained up, holding on to the last ray of dignity and trying to resist the pity or mocking eyes of visitors outside the cage.If she had the choice, she would never tolerate her embarrassed appearance being watched and played by this man.

And the luxurious man with golden body did not pay attention to Saber's indifferent attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but stepped forward leisurely against the fierce wind that whipped his head and face, and raised his hands with an uncontrollable smile.

"That's right, that look of despair just now was really good. What a pity, King of Knights, it seems that you have won the lottery this time."

"That has nothing to do with you."

Saber turned her head with a straight face.The harsh and decisive tone meant a complete rejection of this topic.

"As expected of the woman I fancy, it's a good thing you can still maintain that noble face. You have already attacked unarmed human brats..."

"——Shut up, King of Heroes. I'm not in the mood to listen to a joke right now. If you say something rude again, I won't guarantee that you can go back tonight unscathed."

"Oh, it's just telling the truth, there's no need to be so excited."

The golden hero raised his chin with an almost cruel smile, and his red jade-like pupils were full of malicious playfulness.

"Very good, Saber, very good—your current expression...the expression of being forced to deviate from the noble creed of chivalry, desperately stretching out your hand but drifting away from your ideal, struggling with distress and being stubborn and unyielding, in the eyes of this king, it is simply unbelievable It is the supreme pleasure."

"you……!!"

The girl's forbearance and self-control suddenly hit the bottom line with a bang, and she once again raised the holy sword with a fighting spirit all over her body.

In principle, Saber instinctively refused to swing the sword for Shibata's victory.However, the man in front of her made her feel even more unbearable.

"Sure enough, I'm really stupid for expecting to communicate with you with words. I don't have any more words to give you, King of Heroes. If you still have jokes to say, feel free to confide them to this sword."

"—Wait, don't be so hasty Saber, I haven't finished my sentence yet."

Gilgamesh rolled his eyes lightly, and raised his hand in the air as a soothing gesture.

"Knight King. The reason why you are suffering in every possible way but can't make up your mind to break up with that man is because you are concerned about another domestic dog that is well-bred?"

"Varied……!!"

The wound in my heart that I tried my best to hide was pushed out by the steel needle, and the girl's upright and dignified face was distorted in pain for a moment.

Yes, she was forced to submit to Shibata until now, not only because the man possessed the absolute Command Seal, but also because she couldn't give up her nephew Gao Wen who lost his mind and was kept in a cage like a beast.

Thanks to Emiya Shirou, Saber was more or less freed from the sad desire to save her homeland, but her guilt towards her former comrades-in-arms remained the same, not to mention the white knight who was connected with her blood - King Arthur was regarded as the supreme god, A pure youth who followed her wholeheartedly until death.

As long as Gawain can't be freed from the berserk cage for a day, it's impossible for Saber to turn around and fight Shibata to the death.

What a vicious circle of irony.If Sir Gawain knew that he had become a curse that made the king sigh in despair, the self-blame and remorse in his heart would be even deeper.

"Hmph, that's true. That man really does whatever it takes to achieve his goal... It's a pity that his dream is too small. With this kind of scheming and skill, maybe he is enough to conquer the world."

Gilgamesh smacked his lips appreciatively, as if he was commenting on a capable and promising subject.Seeing that Saber's complexion became more and more ugly, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and changed the subject:

"But King of Knights, fighting to save blood relatives doesn't sound like something to be ashamed of?"

"……what?"

"That man's order is indeed against your pedantic chivalry, but you obeyed obediently to help your relatives and subordinates, right? Ha, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Although it is not in line with my royal way, as a kind elder , The benevolent monarch, shouldn't you be proud of yourself with your chest upright?"

"This……"

Unexpectedly, Gilgamesh would suddenly put on the face of a life mentor and talk loudly, Saber's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

"Why, isn't it? You are a woman who is masochistic at all times - even if this king is particularly fond of that, I will occasionally feel uncomfortable. I am too lazy to explore your thoughts, but no matter how you look at it, you are now They are all indulging in meaningless laments, and even their own swords are blunted. What kind of Saber is a Saber who is unable to swing a sword? If the spirit of facing this king is easily worn away by such a small man , wouldn’t it make the world laugh at me for how I look at women?”

"..."

Saber's expression was no longer something "complex" could describe.

It can be said that I don't get along with this man from the inside out.However, she also has to admit that the hero king's insight into "human nature" is extraordinary, and even has the magic power to open people's deep consciousness.Those words just now had indeed greatly soothed the grief that was churning in her heart at this moment, and at the same time aroused her high-spirited spirit of resistance.

but--

"……why?"

The girl held the sword stiffly, and after a long while lost her mind, she asked the golden hero in a daze.

"Ok?"

"Gilgamesh. What is your plan—why do you want to encourage me as an enemy?"

"Ah? Isn't that obvious at a glance?"

Gilgamesh put on a lazy expression of "this is not a problem at all", and casually put his hands in the pockets of his casual pants and turned around.

"This is a declaration of war, King of Knights. The Holy Grail War will end in three days, and from tomorrow onwards 'that woman' will lead her companions to launch a general attack. This king has already reserved a special viewing seat, so I have been staying in this world for a long time. Until today... until then, if you feel depressed and absent-minded because of guilt, and make some negative game gaffes, who am I, the audience, to turn to to refund the ticket?"

——————————————————————————————————————————

[Otaku Holy Grail War·Fifth Morning]

【Green Team Mansion】

…………

"Retire—— ticket to your sister! Most likely I took the opportunity to show my favor to Saber, and plan to take advantage of the danger to satisfy your animal desire?!"

"Refund————Your sister. Well, the word animal desire is very accurate. Although Auntie has a Western face, she can speak Japanese well. And somewhere who only uses the word 'mongrel' Upstarts are different... huh?! Kaori, don't suddenly throw me a mineral water bottle, it's dangerous."

"Mummu... who told Izumo-kun to refuse to change after repeated admonitions! He even said that you can't be bothered!!"

"...Xaori, are you a middle-aged resentful woman who stays alone in an empty room? How broad is your definition of a flower heart?"

"That's not bad, kid. Although you don't love any land deeply, it's a blessing in your life to have a girl who loves you so hard."

"Hey bastards, you're fooling Ben..."

"You free eaters, shut up all of you—?!"

Nanako Komatsu whipped a long whip on the steps in front of the foreign restaurant, and with a clear and sharp sip, wiped out all the nutritious mouths of the diners.

Hu Tao was exercising with Izumo on the open space in front of the house. He was startled by his friend's anger and slowed down. Before he could regain his posture, he saw the young man taking advantage of the situation and approaching him. The strong wind immediately lifted her front hair that was hanging down on her forehead.

"...Wow?! It will disfigure your face, be careful, brat!"

"It's you who should pay attention, Hu Tao. In broad daylight, you were banging at the door early in the morning. Do you think the police don't come to visit your house?"

Nanako's lingering anger still persisted, and the leather whip crackled dangerously on the steps with a large swing of her arm.

"My lord, please calm down, you seem to be possessed by an evil spirit now..."

"Ah~? Lancer, did you say anything, huh?"

"...No, nothing. I'm very sorry."

Pushing aside Lancer who had stepped forward to dissuade her, Nanako took three steps with her long legs and two steps down the steps, and stabbed Miao Kawashima, who was watching with interest, with the whip.

"A Miao, what's the situation? How did they get married?"

"... Nanako, girls should be polite."

The classic beauty covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

"It's Walnut. She saw through the prototype of the kid, and specially customized his special weapon for the red Archer who just formed an alliance... Well, don't you think this is very similar to a cosplay scene? It's rare."

"..."

Only then did Nanako regain her composure, and carefully looked at the two figures on the field who were intertwining offense and defense like a whirlwind.

With just one glance, she was hit hard by what she witnessed.

"Varied……"

The murder weapon flashing coldly in the young man's hand was the fake metal crutches that would only appear at the booth of the Two-dimensional shop.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a barely audible sip, Izumo stepped forward again, abruptly forcing the walnut who was blocking him with a horizontal knife to retreat.

"Uh... tut!"

The blade scraped against the abduction, making the screeching sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard.Hu Tao took the opportunity to lower his center of gravity and urge his feet to push the boy back to the position just now.

"...Hmph. Not bad, even though I'm getting old."

The duckweed crutch reflected the sharp blue light in the morning light, the young man's stern and angular face, and the black hair blowing in the wind.

That scene, no matter how you look at it, looks like——

"Hey, are you still fishing here?! You were the ones who said they were going to have a teacher's banquet, and you were the ones who sneaked out of the kitchen early in the morning, and one or two are so free-wheeling..."

The two hadn't come to a conclusion when the door of the mansion was pushed open again, and the young girl in casual clothes rushed down the steps angrily.

It was too late and then it was too late, Izumo threw an iron crutch in the direction where Walnut was moving.Hu Tao sensitively lowered his head to avoid it, and the weapon used to block and kill gods and Buddhas in Two-dimensional works drew an arc and came straight towards Weber.

"Eh? Eh——?!"

"Danger, danger!!"

Before Weber could react in time, Kaori, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly flew out from a diagonal stab, pressing on Weber's shoulders and knocking him to the ground.Duckweed Knuckles flew over the back of Kaori's head in a thrilling manner, and hit the stone steps with a loud explosion-like sound.

"It hurts..."

Wei Bo rubbed the back of his head on the concrete floor with one hand, and just about to help Kaori to support himself, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.He looked up in a daze, and saw that Nanakusa Izumo had sneaked up to the two of them without anyone noticing, and the barbs on the other kidnapper in front of him pierced people's eyes.

"Out, out...Mr. Yun? Well, that, I have something to discuss..."

"Just now, you almost hurt Kaori. Kaori's body has not fully recovered, and she can't withstand a little stimulation, you know that."

"Hey... Hey?!! My fault? Is it my fault?! It was Izumo who threw the sharp weapon just now, and Ms. Yu said that you haven't paid the crafting fee for the projection weapon..."

"It is, you, let, incense, weave, suffer, hurt, of, right?"

"...Although I don't know what I did wrong, I'm sorry anyway!"

The so-called coming out of the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den must refer to the disaster that Mr. Wei Bo has encountered at this moment.

Hu Tao rubbed his chest with one hand and slowly calmed down his breathing. Then he put the knife back into its sheath, and walked leisurely with his arms crossed to the side of his girlfriends, watching the miserable situation of classmate Weber who was also crutched while lying on the sidelines.

"Obviously, the degree of restoration of the appearance and combat power is as high as that of Armstrong's swivel cannon... The inside is really 180 degrees distorted. I seem to see that fan authors all over the country are laughing."

"Don't use such an obscene metaphor."

Kawashima Miaoyouyou interrupted her.

"Who told Mr. Shibata to presuppose the attribute of an idiot couple? You can try to anthropomorphize Norse, do you believe that his prototype has the same virtue as him?"

"……makes sense."

…………

On the fifth dawn since the start of the House Holy Grail War, Himizaka Kurumi stayed up all night to formulate a distribution plan for all combat power, and all the staff were ready to go.The awakened Shiratori Kaori has recognized the reality lying in front of her eyes, and is determined to overcome difficulties with everyone who declared war on Shibata.I got the affirmation of "You are not an imitation doll" from Walnut, Nanakusa Izumo's beautiful face, which seemed to be torn from an anime poster, finally completely eliminated the empty expression that was most incompatible with the poster's protagonist.

Women, girls and teenagers, beyond the doubts of self-existence, are about to reach the final stage.

A doll in the palm of a god.Nameless artificial human.Disguised memory.Instilled feelings.Tragedy and sacrifice have long been doomed.

Everything is now just a pretentious abstract noun.

Whether human beings, human pillars or man-made humans, since they still live in this world, they will naturally try their best to survive.The so-called "survival" is nothing more than breathing in and out.

Exhale is to let out a breath, and inhale is to fight for a breath.

Recently, I have been working on World War II settings, and the update here has been slow... In short, I will release the self-edited PV [Hello]

The main comprehensive content is what you see in the PV... www

Although it is called the House Holy Grail War, it is actually a story that takes place in an overhead kingdom.This country is called the country of Liboun (totally wrong), which is the land of rebirth. www is a world that "gives BE people a chance to start over".Basically, the tragic characters in the First World War will appear again, and at the same time, characters from other worlds are invited to come through time.Because it is a magical world where BE can be reversed, there will also be a happy Tohsaka family... and so on.Visually, it has a stronger magic and Hapi school style than World War I.Since it involves various anime that I have written before, maybe I can see a lot of familiar faces ☆

42 Act IV Noble Mortals

【Otaku Holy Grail War·Twilight of the Fifth Day】

…………

squeak-

The blond woman with a long knife on her shoulder pushed open a gap in the dusty wooden door of the church, peered into it for a while, and then turned around whistling softly:

"Nobody. Let's go in, Archer."

Contrary to Walnut's enthusiastic expression, Robin Hood, the heroic spirit, looked bored, and just waved his arms lazily and shook them:

"Why are you so energetic, miss. Could it be that you made an appointment with someone to get married here?"

"You're poor, I don't have that kind of partner. Apart from Fuyuki, the only man who can hook shoulders and talk about jokes is you."

Hu Tao glanced at him, and replied solemnly as he pushed the door and entered.

"I know, I know. It's an honor to be valued so much by the eldest lady."

Green Archer smiled jokingly, but a serious expression with a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, why on earth? I came here specially to such a remote place... If you have something to say, it would be better if you were in the western mansion."

"Because I want to see you."

"what?"

"Nothing, talking to myself."

Just staring at the floor at his feet in silence for a second, Hu Tao immediately raised his face with a smile, but the curved arc of the corner of his mouth still revealed an extremely unnatural sense of pretentiousness.

"Because—because this is the first place where I met Archer frankly, I wanted to come anyway....Well, that's it."

"...This sentence sounds a bit unsound. Did I over-interpret it? Besides, Missy left the station to act alone because of this kind of thing. Don't you feel very sorry for your friends?"

Confused by Hu Tao's uncharacteristically unreasonable behavior, Archer couldn't help restraining his smile and accentuating his tone.

What surprised him even more was that Hutao, who had always been tough, did not refute, but lowered his gaze with a somewhat resigned silence.

"Ah, I really feel sorry for them. This is not something that happened today. I have been worrying about my personal situation...Because I am the youngest among my girlfriends, I have not been aware of it. Acting like a baby. I caused Miao and Nanako to lose their jobs, and dragged them into this life-threatening war... A friend like me has failed so badly. It was originally my own battle, at least in the end, let me make up for myself for the past two years Willful."

"Miss...?"

"I made an agreement with that kid, we must end all this. Whether it is my brother or my friend, I don't want to cause them any more trouble."

Walnut leaned on the back of the creaking old chair and faced Archer, raising his arms high and stretching his exaggerated and stiff waist pretending to be relaxed.

"Oh——~~ I'm such a person, I realized it too late. After these days of living and dying together, I finally realized that I really like these people. Although Nanako is a trembling who performs a trio of whips every day Your Majesty Queen S, A Miao is a vicious little devil who can't cook anything but hot pot soup, Fuyuki is a hydrocephalus idiot who firmly believes that 'every pair of twins are sweet lovers in their previous lives'... In short, there is nothing serious Guys, but they are all good friends who accept my bastard and are willing to walk side by side with me."

"Miss, the last word completely ruined the atmosphere, please speak well."

"I don't think I can lose these guys."

Hu Tao lightly lowered her eyes, and the serenity and softness like water washed away from the strong and strong words in the past.

Then—from the bottom of her heart, a small smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth.

"So I decided to come here."

"Where is the causal relationship?! I said Miss, this is just an ordinary church..."

Before Archer could finish his sentence, Hu Tao stretched out his arms with a relieved smile as if his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, pointing directly at the church door that slowly opened behind Archer.

What was there was a character they had only heard of by name but never heard of, who they were extremely familiar with but knew nothing about——

"I came here to meet another opponent who is as terrifying as Saber."

——The man in the kimono stands naturally with a sword in his hand, his eyebrows are slightly raised, and his smile is half a smile. His long and flowing hair in braids hangs down to his waist like a brocade, reflecting an elegant thin light under the setting sun.
