Fate_Hero back

Hu Nuo smiled kindly and turned around.

"Ah, Sakura. Good evening, haven't you slept yet? Staying up late is the enemy of beauty. You have to be careful when you are young."

"...Do you want to go out today too?"

The girl hesitated, and extruded a misty, misty voice from her throat.

Hearing this, Hu Tao stopped her steps, retracted the hand holding the knife behind her back, and bent down to rub the girl's hair.

"It's okay, it's okay, Sakura stays here and takes care of Uncle Kariya. My sister will be back soon."

"Soon...?"

Perhaps the child's keen intuition had an effect, Matou Sakura raised her eyes a little uneasy.

"Well, it's very fast. So, please leave the housekeeping to Sakura. Don't worry, even if I'm gone, sister A Miao and Lancelot will protect you."

"...Sister Hutao, will you come back?"

"Eh?"

Stuck by the girl's sudden straight ball, Hu Nuo raised his hand and scratched his cheek with a little embarrassment.

"...Well, I think there is an 80% chance of coming back safely. I'm sorry for making you uneasy again, Sakura. I'm not very good at lying to children."

"Hmm. It's okay, it's more at ease this way."

Hearing Hu Tao's uncertain answer, Sakura showed a slightly relaxed expression instead, which finally made her look a little innocent like a primary school girl.

"Then, I will pray that the future will be that 80%. Until Sister Walnut comes back, all the time."

—Ah, she is indeed a good child.

——If it was not me who received this prayer, but Matou Kariya from "that world", Fate/Zero might really become a heart-warming story... No, it's impossible.

In the bottom of her heart, she smiled wryly at the original author's bad taste, and the blond woman bent down to straighten Sakura's neckline, and carefully straightened the ribbon around her ear.

Then, just like Matou Kariya once did, Hu Tao raised his arms around the girl's slender neck, and pressed her small and soft head lightly on his shoulders.

"Then, I'm leaving. Please, Kariya-kun."

"...Well. Sister Hutao, have a good journey."

Finally, she patted the girl's thin shoulders, Hu Tao quickly turned her back, strided towards the stairs with her head sullen, lest she couldn't help but look back three times, and let the other cohabitants see the joke in vain.

"Master Himizaka?"

Just as Hu Tao walked to the entrance alone, she was stopped by a serious voice suddenly coming from behind.

"Master Himisaka, are you going out tonight too? With all due respect, it is inappropriate for you to risk yourself. Fighting should be the mission of a Servant. A woman like you shouldn't—"

"...Lancer, haven't you gone back to Nanako's side yet? It's dangerous, my ge... you're responsible for something wrong with my girlfriend?"

Hu Tao didn't even have the interest to answer, so he issued the order to evict the guest blankly.

"Yes, I was planning to return to Master Xiaosong, and I saw you at the door..."

"Oh yes, then please go back directly."

"That can't be done. Himisaka-sama is an important friend of Komatsu-sama. I can't allow you to risk your own life. Are you going to use yourself as a bait to lure other Servants to attack, and then let your heroic spirit take the opportunity to attack?—— Not to mention whether or not this strategy is in line with chivalry, it is too dangerous for you! If you encounter a strong enemy like Saber, you may not even have a chance to react..."

Lancer didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, he stood by the door and argued hard.

Contrary to his impassionedness, Hu Tao just pinched a lock of curly hair and twirled it between his fingers indifferently. After Lancer finished speaking, he responded perfunctorily:

"Don't worry, my reaction is definitely faster than Professor Kenneth's. Moreover, my Servant is also easier to handle than his, and can do insidious tricks without command spells."

"...Himizaka-sama!"

"Lancer, I understand how you feel—hey, don't make that 'You lied to me you liar!' look, I really do. Understanding is one thing, compliance is another. I have my I also hope you understand this—alas, I told you not to show that kind of expression of "You see, you are really a liar! You don't understand me at all!", that rare handsome face..."

Hu Tao scratched his head and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find a defense that would allow Lancer to reach a consensus with him, so he could only lower his face and said in a deep voice:

"Alright Lancer, what is your job? To assist and protect your Master, and help her win the Holy Grail. So, what should you do now?"

"This one……"

"Go back to Nanako. To prevent us from chasing Nanakusao-kun-why are you so surprised? Isn't your purpose clear at a glance-staying here until now, your Master should be unhappy. I don't want this tragedy to repeat itself If it's the third time, go back immediately, and exchange the Servant I sent to protect Nanako by the way."

"Himizaka-sama's...?!"

Lancer's face froze suddenly.

"Everyone said why are you so surprised... I wouldn't abandon my friend, right? Of course, I placed my Servant with her early in the morning. In case another Emiya Kiritsugu came to this world, she would put you on the table again." Such a good person, ten lives are not enough to play with."

Hu Tao finished speaking in one breath, turned around and put his hand on the doorknob, no longer looking back at Lancer's mixed expression.

"—Then, please change shifts as soon as possible. The appearance fee is very high, my Archer."

"..."

With a bang, the security door of the apartment with enhanced magic slammed shut in front of Lancer's eyes.

The beautiful young man in Yushu facing the wind stood by the wall, staring blankly at the closed door, and murmured to himself in a confused tone:

"Master Himisaka just said... Jiyou, what is it?"

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

01:30 am, the block.

The nightlife in this city is not developed, and the urban area at night is completely silent, only a few hoarse cicadas can be faintly heard, which directly disturbs people's ears.Occasionally, one or two overtime workers who came back late hurried past, all with heavy and dragging steps, tired and haggard faces, and neat professional suits tightly wrapped around their overwhelmed bodies like restraint uniforms.

Hu Tao walked alone on the deserted long street, holding her breath like a girl peeping at her crush, trying her best to suppress her restless heartbeat.

Except for the anti-traversal aliens, there is no regular magician in this world.Most of the participating players are ordinary people like Izumo who have no fighting experience. Naturally, there are few fools who dare to go out on the street in a big way.In an environment where everyone lives in seclusion and entrusts all operations to Servants, the existence of the Master Himizaka Kurumi can be said to be quite conspicuous.

(I wonder if I can catch some stupid fish tonight. Well, it would be the best if I can lure Saber. Although I feel sorry for Irisviel, that Knight King is now my number one enemy.)

Suppressing the unbearably excited mood, the blond woman silently clenched the long knife in her hand.

(Then from now on...my life is entrusted to you, Archer.)

…………

At the same time, the top of the skyscraper thousands of kilometers away from Walnut——

"I found the enemy. It's the face I've seen in the photo, and the name is indeed... Himizaka Kurumi, right?"

The man's deep and magnetic voice is very clear in the quiet and dense surrounding night.

He looked down at the dark city night scene like splashed ink, but his sharp eagle-like eyes pierced through the landscape and cast it into the distance, his expression was as indifferent as if he was looking at a lifeless vast cemetery.

"It's ironic, Master. The first one to deal with is actually your former..."

"Is now the time to care about that little detail?"

A calm female voice came from the mobile phone that the man put close to his ear.

"—Although I sympathize with that child, this is a war. That child should be quite enlightened."

"Ah, I understand. It's not my interest to attack that kind of little girl. It's difficult for both of them, Master."

"Just kidding. It should be easy for you, right? That kid was a standard Shilang black when he was in the company."

The female voice on the other side of the phone was unknowingly tainted with a bit of teasing.

"Even if you say so..."

The man frowned a bit troubled and smiled wryly.

"...I'm Shirou Kuro too."

"Don't deceive yourself, you are clearly a tanned Shirou."

"... Whatever it is, is fine. Is it enough to defeat that girl, Master?"

"Yeah, let it go."

The woman let out a confident chuckle.

"I trust you very much——Archer."

"That's really thankful for your love."

Heroic Spirit snorted softly at the phone that had been hung up, then put the phone in his pocket, and looked at the vast night below.

"Hey, what a Master who likes to give people problems... Whether it's Shirou Hei or Hei Shirou, just do it."

A few veil-like flowing clouds in the sky slowly drifted away, and a clear and bright moonlight projected on the man, illuminating his short silver-white hair, brown skin, and a blood-red long coat blown by the wind.

Emiya Shirou's figure after death - Heroic Spirit Emiya, started hunting in the dark night.

16 Scene [-] Red and Green Archers

If the purpose of walnut wandering the streets is to attract enemy Servants to attack, then this operation can be said to have been too successful.

——Tokyo time at [-]:[-] in the morning, Himizaka Kurumi was attacked at a deserted intersection somewhere in the city.

Just like what happened to Nanakusa Izumo in the evening, when Walnut was walking on the street, he suddenly heard the sound of piercing the sky behind his ears, and he twisted his body to the right to avoid the short knife passing by.The opponent stepped back as soon as he missed the hit, but the moment when the eyes crossed was enough for Hu Tao to judge the situation in front of him.

"Oh my god. The one I wanted to catch was obviously Saber. Even if I missed the bet, this level is too far behind."

The blond woman used her heels to drive her whole body to rotate half a circle on the spot, and at the same time she drew the knife out of its sheath swiftly with one hand, and swung the blade forward with this short self-mockery.

With a "clang", gold and iron intersected, and there was a tingling sensation on the wrist that hit the target.Seeing that the attack was stopped by the opponent with a short knife, Hu Tao immediately lowered his body, and the light of the knife in his hand drew a circular arc to slice the enemy's lower body.This time, the blade slashed across the attacker's calf, immediately splashing a spray of blood mist.

"Ah, I wanted to cut off the lower body. Is it too shallow?"

Hu Tao jumped two steps away and stood still, tapping his shoulder with the back of the knife.

"By the way, if you tell me where the Master is, retract the previous sentence, okay? I don't want to create useless garbage. Although your corpse will disappear soon, it does seem to hinder the appearance of the city."

"……babble!!"

The attacker hurriedly covered the wound, and a horrifying scream leaked from his throat.

Although he was flustered by Kurumi's unexpected and swift counterattack, it was indeed one of the "Heroic Spirits" summoned by the Holy Grail.

——The heroic spirit, the whole person blended into the night like a dark shadow, only a pale skull mask stood out from the darkness, like a white full moon hanging high in the sky.

A servant of the Assassin class, Hassan Sabah.

In the Fourth Holy Grail War where strong men gathered, the character of True Lucky E was crushed to pieces under the shower of Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm without even being able to use a single move.

Even the special code of "Fate/Zero" ruthlessly evaluates him (she/it?) as "obscene in appearance, low in ability, and garbage in treasures"...Of course, the special code is a bit too much for the funny effect, but Hassan It is an indisputable fact that the classmates are curious in appearance and sorry in strength.

I mention here for the sake of the reputation of Assassin class - not all Assassins are not good at fighting, just because this Hassan happened to be an elite. Spread to dozens of points | on the body.It is said that many people are powerful, and this Assassin is exactly the type of "the more people there are, the weaker the fighting power is".

Even so, it is still very difficult for humans to cause harm to Servants, even a homicide expert like Emiya Kiritsugu did not dare to attack Assassin rashly.The reason why Walnut was able to challenge Heroic Spirit so rashly was entirely because the kendo education she received since she was a child and the magic training she received from a different world gave her enough confidence.Just as Tohsaka Rin was able to compete against Caster with magic and body skills, Walnut also adopted a combat method of equipping magic dresses and exercising physical attacks.Although it may not be able to take a blow from King Arthur's Holy Sword or Diarmuid's Magic Spear, it is more than enough to withstand the melee class of Caster and Assassin.

Because of this undoubted dominant position, a whole row of scrolling barrages jumped out of Hu Tao's mind at this time:

[This guy is just a scout at all, he's so weak, can it be okay? I really want to go home and have a beauty sleep. Why am I going to the streets in the middle of the night? Wouldn't risking my life trigger a key plot? A dispensable character. In the middle of the night, do I want to dance radio gymnastics with him? Forgive me, even if I single him out, I don’t feel a sense of accomplishment...]

"……whispering sound!"

Assassin obviously also noticed the opponent's impetuous mood, and thought he had seized the opportunity to attack. Taking advantage of Hu Tao's unpreparedness, he shook his arm vigorously, and drew a parabola with the dagger in his hand and threw it straight at her chest.

Whoosh——clang! !

Then--

"What... what, what?!"

Assassin's expected picture of foaming blood did not appear.

On the contrary, it was his own chest that was torn open by a sharp instrument.

"Ah... ah...!!"

The black heroic spirit stared blankly at the arrow point that appeared from his chest at some point, his brain that had been emptied in an instant forgot to give any instructions, and just let out an out-of-tuned embarrassment.

"...Hey, everyone said 'tell me where the Master is' and let you go. I did what I said."

Hu Nuo sheathed the knife and stepped forward, looking down at the Heroic Spirit who fell to the ground and writhing in pain from top to bottom, and raised his hands in frustration to grab the messy blond hair.

On the ground a few inches away from her feet were the dagger that Assassin threw just now, and a crude wooden crossbow bolt.

That arrow was exactly the same as the murder weapon that pierced Assassin's chest.

"Ah, anyway, you don't have the mouth to go out and talk nonsense, let me tell you a good thing. Although my Archer is useless in other aspects, his Noble Phantasm is as weak as a joke, and his housekeeping is not good at all, except for the archer. His accomplishments are world-class. If anyone wants to create comics like "The Prince of Kyudo" in the future, I definitely recommend my Archer as the protagonist... Uh, can't you hear it already?"

——Assassin, who was pierced by the arrow, remained face down and lost his breath.

In any case, this time he used a few tricks before leaving the field, leaving a note worthy of celebration in the history of the Holy Grail War.

(The main body on the Throne of Heroes knows, and will be moved to tears...)

"—Hey, miss, you can really say it. I shot an arrow at the critical moment to save your life. Are you going to repay me with these sarcastic words? Tch, I'm a weakling who can't do housework Archer, I can't compare to the golden and red guys somewhere, I'm so sorry."

Hearing this rough voice with a hint of teasing, Hu Tao couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed, turning her back and raising her voice exaggeratedly.

"Oh, what did I hear, my Archer is jealous... Could it be that it will snow tomorrow?"

"Who would be jealous like that? I just sigh for my weakness."

A young man quietly appeared next to Hu Tao, with his arms crossed behind his head, complaining loudly, his sloppy demeanor and behavior were exactly the same as the usual Hu Tao, it didn't look like he appeared on a solemn battlefield character of.

Even the young man's attire was quite different from that of the heroic spirits who were usually well-dressed. It was as rough and lacking in elegance as the feathered arrow that looked like a handmade product.Most of the man's body is hidden under a thick thick green cloak, and the light leather armor that fits the body can be seen faintly. Needless to say, the color is also green.The textures and fabrics are very ordinary, cheap earthen cloth that can be seen everywhere in small markets.

"Ah~ah, as a man, I can't satisfy the eldest lady I serve, what a failure I am..."

This young man with golden-brown fluffy hair exudes the rustic atmosphere of primeval forests and remote villages from beginning to end, which is incompatible with most of the heroic spirits from the royal family.If placed on the roulette wheel of fate full of majesty and majesty in the Fourth Holy Grail War, he is undoubtedly not like a heroic spirit, but more like a rustic mortal passing by to make soy sauce.

——Another Archer from "Fate/Extra", commonly known as Green Tea, whose real name is "Robin Hood" that is often seen in the legend of Grand Theft Auto.

However, this young man is not the hero himself who bears the title. "Robin Hood" itself is a fictitious fictional combination of multiple stories, an overhead heroic spirit that only exists in people's legends and beliefs, and this Archer, as shown by its plain appearance, is only "one of the human prototypes that constitute the legend of Robin Hood." "That's all.

In other words, this guy is the same "nameless heroic spirit" as Emiya, who is commonly known as Red A, and he is not a (posthumous) protagonist like Red A.

If other players were to draw such a servant, they might talk about complaining all day long.

However, Hu Tao hung the long knife back to his waist, and freed his hand to pat the young man's back affectionately.

"Don't be delusional, Archer, how can you tell that I'm not satisfied? I tried my best to praise you, but there's not much I can praise you for. What I know so far is archery... er, and... ...do you still have a face?"

"Hey miss, just now my man's self-esteem was shattered, there was a bang."

"Boom? Listen to the sound, your self-esteem is made of styrofoam, and sticky will be fine."

Hu Tao grinned half-jokingly, grabbed the corner of the young man's cloak and walked back,

"Okay, don't lose your temper, MydeardearRobin, hurry up and go home to wash and sleep. Tomorrow Monday, I have to go to school as usual. I missed my homework just to grab a broken cup, and my parents and Fuyuki had to cry."

"No, miss, you are still in the mood to go to school at this moment. What if you have other Masters in your university, isn't this courting death? At least let me transform into a spirit body and follow..."

"And then materialize and pick up girls at school?"

"I've never done that kind of thing! It was the King of Heroes (little) who coaxed his lovely sister to drink tea with him, and I just incidentally—"

"—to rub a girl?"

Walnut wrinkled his nose coldly.

"Archer, what about your manly pride?"

"It's right on my chest! Oh, it's true, everyone said I didn't have a date with the King of Heroes... Hey, listen to me, Miss!!"

"Yes, yes, I'm listening..."

Just as Walnut suppressed a smile and turned around and took a step forward, the green Archer loudly protested to catch up.

Suddenly, without warning.

"------!"

The young man bit his lower lip angrily, and then threw himself on the unsuspecting blond woman who was walking ahead, knocking her down on the asphalt road.

"Miss, it's dangerous——!"

"Eh……?!"

——The next second, Hu Tao witnessed what is called "moon-by-moon meteor" and "golden crow falling to the ground".

Accompanied by the loud noise of the ultra-long-range attack directly hitting the ground, the foothold of the two of them was shattered in a blink of an eye.Even though Hu Tao was covered by the youth's cloak, he still felt the splashed asphalt fragments hit his head and face hard, causing burning pain instantly.

"Archer!!"

"Ah, I know, it must be the attack of the enemy Servant. Damn, I didn't notice the breath at all... With this kind of range, the opponent should be Archer too. —Miss, get ready, the next attack will come soon. About to arrive!"

"Tsk...!"

Hu Tao smacked his lips resentfully, broke free from the young man's arms and turned over, raised the long knife and put it in a fighting posture, and at the same time applied enhanced magic to the blade.

A surprise attack that even the heroic spirits cannot perceive.

Although Archer-class servants are not good at breath capture, they are not ignorant of the enemy's approach.Since the opponent is not an Assassin with the ability to block the breath, the only possibility is——

"...Isn't it within Archer's capture range?"

Walnut narrowed his eyes menacingly.

"The enemy is at least three or four kilometers away. So, the bastard who aimed at us is..."

The biggest advantage of the three-dimensional Holy Grail War is that once you encounter a scene similar to the original Two-dimensional work, you can immediately deduce the opponent you are facing, and imitate the protagonist's approach to escape from danger.

However, the countermeasure Emiya Shirou took when he was sniped by this person from 4000 meters away was...

"Archer, if I use Command Spells to teleport you to the top of a building thousands of meters away, and then bring down that sniper head-on...can you do it?"

[Note: In the famous scene of "Fate/hollowatarxia", Shirou used the command spell to make Saber jump to the top of the building and cut down the red A. 】

"Stop making trouble, miss, you might as well use the command spell to make me commit suicide."

"...I think so too."

This archer's clumsiness in melee combat is only a lot more than that of the red guy.Even if it is strengthened with command spells, it is still a fantasy to expect him to instantly solve the red Archer who was a master of swordsmanship in his lifetime.

"I can't help it, can I just block it...the opponent should have a gap between each attack, Archer, I retreated as soon as I fired the arrow. There is no chance of winning here, so I must kill you." Men's self-esteem is treated as scum."

"Hey, don't be brave, dear Master, I'm not cowardly enough to need your protection."

The young man smiled wryly and raised his hand to push away the blade erected by Hu Tao, and he couldn't help but cage her behind him.

"The other party's arrow just now is a treasure. If you block it with human strength, you will inevitably break your hands. Don't worry, miss, I can still block an attack of that level once or twice..."

"...Even King Arthur can only block five arrows?"

"It seems a bit difficult, let's escape."

"So fast?! You gave up so fast—!!"

"I'm so sorry, I'm not the King of Knights but just a weak villager......Wow, here comes the lady!"

Even this heroic spirit who is accustomed to talking and talking has noticed the criticality of the situation. He threw up his cloak to completely cover the figure of Walnut, and drew out the dagger at his waist with one hand to prepare for the attack.

"... Tsk!!"

However, the expected fierce collision between the two did not happen.

—— Slap——

Instead, there was a sticky sound that made people feel sick, as if someone had slammed a piece of limp carrion against the wall—naturally, the actual sound was dozens of times louder than this.

"Wow, what a shame... what are you doing, what is this..."

"Why, that guy missed his aim?"

Hearing the sound, Walnut poked her face out from under Archer's cloak, and was immediately dumbfounded by the scene in front of her.

— gurgling, gurgling—

At first glance, large and strange black shadows are densely clustered around them, making wet and disgusting noises, while waving tentacles and suction cups and writhing uncontrollably.From the appearance, it seems to be some kind of mollusk, but the powerful magic power surging in the shadow shows that these monsters are by no means kind.

Unfortunately, that happened to be what Walnut witnessed in Two-dimensional.

Also, not pleasant at all.

"It seems that these ghost things have covered us just now... Oh, don't come here, it's disgusting! I don't want to spit it out here, it's rare that the lady left me dumplings tonight!!"

"... Enough Archer, run away."

Hu Tao resisted the overwhelming nausea in his stomach, took a deep breath of the rancid cold air, and grabbed the hem of his heroic spirit.

"What's the matter, isn't this a companion's cover? Although this companion's taste is a bit curious..."

"No, my partner doesn't like playing with tentacles..."

Hu Tao tried to explain feebly, but before she had time to explain her grievances and grievances with these dank monsters, a high-pitched and joyful scream sounded in her ears, and she gave the most perfect explanation of the situation on her behalf:

"Ah ... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly It was given to me... Joan of Arc!!"

17 Scene [-] Caster and his true love

At 02:30 in the morning, the "First House Holy Grail War Justice Master Alliance" station.

Crash-boom! !

"Woo...how come...ah."

Nanakusa Izumo, who woke up again from a strange dream, lay sprawled on the floor, and slowly withdrew his hand from his sweaty forehead.Perhaps it was because the bed in the guest room was not as spacious as his own, so he rolled over and fell out of bed after turning over slightly.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

There was a clear and rhythmic knocking sound on the wall next to the head of the bed, followed by a man's deep and slightly hoarse questioning.

"People over there... are you okay...?"

Recalling the introduction of Walnut earlier, Izumo immediately regained his sobriety: Kariya Matou lived in the next room.

"Ah, it's alright."

In order not to disturb the other party's sleep too much, he answered as lightly as possible.

"It's just a nightmare, I'm sorry to make such a loud noise."

"Is that so... What a coincidence."

Hearing Izumo's answer, Kariya on the opposite side seemed to have a wry smile.

"I also had a nightmare. I and Sakura were still in the worm warehouse of Matou's house, where Sakura was tortured... I wanted to stretch out my hand to take her away, but somehow my body couldn't use the strength, so I just kept going. Drowning in the worm pile...haha, it's really absurd, it's a very fruitless dream."

(——No, you predicted your own death with incomparable accuracy.)

Izumo let out a silent cry in his heart.

"Speaking of which, it's called... Seven Grass-kun, right, what's your dream like...?"

"It's nothing, it's a strange dream a hundred times more absurd than yours..."

Izumo's mouth was perfunctory, but his heart secretly squeezed cold sweat.

——In his dream, Kaori Shiratori was held hostage by two silver-haired little girls who looked like twins. The little girl dragged Kaori, who was unconscious, into a maze, and chased after him without thinking. Finally collapsed from exhaustion...

——This nightmare is too full of fairy tale delusions.

Izumo was using his hands and feet, struggling to prop up his body and trying to climb back to the bed, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the cell phone on the bedside table flickering in the dark, showing that a new email had arrived.

"...?"

The boy stretched out his arms and grabbed the phone, then casually opened the cover.

The eyes that were accustomed to the dark suddenly came into contact with the light, and there was a sting like needles.He quickly turned his face to the side, and after he recovered a little, he focused his gaze on the phone display again.

The two lines of square black characters on the pale screen once again hurt Izumo's eyes.

【Izumo, save me】

【Sender: Shiratori Kaori】

"..."

After a long silence, the boy said mechanically.

"...Mr. Kariya, has your ability infected me?"

"what happened?"

Kariya didn't know what to do, and asked eagerly.

"I seem to have predicted my own death."

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

——Downtown at this time——

"Ah ... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly It was given to me... Joan of Arc!!"

Filled with gratitude and ecstasy, the wet snake-like voice echoed repeatedly in the dark night, winding and crawling.

Green Archer: "..."

walnut:"…………"

Green Archer: "...Miss, did he admit the wrong person?"

Hu Tao: "...Well, I definitely misidentified the person. Let's go home, Darling."

On the top of the tall building thousands of meters away, a similar conversation was going on between the red archer and his Master.

Red Archer: "Hey, Master, suddenly a strange guy came into the battlefield to cover them. It doesn't look like a heroic spirit, but an evil spirit. It will use strange summoned beasts to defend. If you continue to fight, it will become one against two. , I am not very interested in pursuing it, what do you think?"

A mysterious expert hiding in the dark: "Oh, I know who that is. Archer, can't your go-getter Mo Xie exorcise evil spirits?"

Red Archer: "It's okay. Wait, don't you think..."

Mysterious master: "That pervert is too annoying, kill him for me."

pat.

Beep, beep, beep, beep...

Five seconds later, the black and white double blades were shot out as new arrows.

"The target doesn't seem to be us this time...very good, now, miss!"

Seeing that the shooter in the distance changed his aim, the green Archer bent down and picked up the walnut horizontally, turned around and rushed towards the gap in the slightly sparse circle of monsters.

"Ah, Joan... Please don't abandon me again, Joan!!"

Seeing Hu Tao's handful of blond hair dangling away in the dark night, the heroic spirit in a thick black robe suddenly became anxious, scratching his hair and trying to catch up, but was stopped by the flying evil blade Stopped.

——The intruder who suddenly appeared on the battlefield was also a familiar figure to Hu Tao.

Gilles de Ray, the Marshal of the French Army who fought alongside the world-famous Joan of Arc and the prototype of the "Blue Beard" in Western fairy tales, enjoys a terrifying notoriety in this world that is completely opposite to Joan of Arc.It is said that after Joan's crucifixion, he fell into madness for a while. Because he was obsessed with black magic research and killed hundreds of teenagers, he ended his blood-stained life on the gallows.

This person appeared as a Caster in "Fate/Zero", and ignorantly mistook Saber, who was also a "blond girl swordsman" with Jeanne, for his beloved holy virgin. He confessed repeatedly, and the result was naturally Like a certain King of Heroes, Saber rejected him head-on with the golden holy sword without hesitation.

It's a pity that even if he was sent back to the Seat of Heroes with a sword in the head by Joan of Arc in his heart, it seems that this guy's eye disease has not been cured, but has even worsened...

(...To be honest, I really don’t know why the frog eyes are so big. Is it a character characteristic.)

"Ah ah ah!"

Behind the distant Walnut, Caster urged the monster to defend against the incoming arrows, while covering his face with his hands and wailing in despair.

"Oh... Jeanne, are you still going to run away from me this time!
