Fate_Hero back
Chapter 10 The Holy Grail
Obviously, she has done all the tricks for this moment.
Obviously, it is a critical juncture in the race against time.
Obviously it shouldn't stop there.
Himizaka Kurumi was pinned motionless within the reach of the Holy Grail.
"It's kind of like saying that now... But seeing this world being swallowed up by hell, I just can't help but feel happy. To be honest, I don't want this kind of world based on the misfortune of the young lady from the bottom of my heart. Go save it."
"Then don't think about whether you can save it or not."
As if to express his rejection of this topic, Hu Tao interrupted coldly.
"You are my Servant, Archer. Until the end, there is only one thing you need to think about."
——It is enough for you to fight for me.Compared with the lonely hero who has been thinking about the reason for fighting for many years, the mercenary who collects money and does things for others is much more relaxed.
——Because of my immaturity, I have already caused you too much trouble.At least for this trouble of digging my own grave, let me knock out my teeth alone, chew and swallow slowly with blood.
Hu Tao didn't turn around to confirm the bow soldier's expression, but silently raised his arms back.After a moment of stalemate, she felt that her fingertips were gently hooked with extreme care.
"I understand, miss."
Ying Ling said.
Fortunately, Archer was not self-willed enough to turn against him at the last minute because of his personal likes and dislikes.Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and held back the young man's wide, calloused palm.
"As long as you know……"
In the next second, a sudden and sudden chill hit his whole body without warning.
"Archer, behind you——?!!"
She yelled too late.
Because the two had their own concerns, they both lacked a little sense of tension at the last moment.Because of this negligence in less than a second, the beast that quietly climbed up to the two of them flew up with a long howl, and the blood splashed from under the fangs and claws immediately dyed Archer's dark green cloak deep red.
Although Robin Hood is not thin, he is not a heroic spirit who is good at close combat.What's more, the fierce beast in front of him that single-shot past the two knights is definitely not a kind beast, it should be an upgraded version of Ver.special.
"Archer!? Damn..."
Under the protection of the heroic spirit, Hu Tao barely escaped the first wave of attacks, but she also lost her balance and rolled to the edge of the steps. Just as she was trying to pick up the long knife in her hand, she was stunned by a piercing pain. buzzing.
"Tsk...!"
For a moment, she only felt that her eyes were straight, and she quickly closed her eyelids and shook her head several times, only then did she recover from the dizziness that almost made her lose consciousness.
(Damn, the wound again...)
You don't need to look at it to know that the flesh and blood torn from the battle with Kojiro began to look for a sense of existence unwilling to be lonely.
Walnut smiled wryly and glanced at his only remaining left hand—after the pounce of the beast that can make ordinary people vomit their internal organs, it is at this moment softly bent like Harry Potter's arm hit by a Bludger to an odd angle.
(It seems that bloodletting is a bit too much these days... Renzhu's healing ability has also reached its limit.)
But now is not the time to condemn himself for his strategic mistakes. Seeing that there is no hope in wielding the knife, Hu Tao simply swung his useless arms and rushed forward. on the monster.
"What... miss, idiot, what are you doing?!"
Regardless of the bleeding wound on his body and the throat that had been bitten through the skin, Archer yelled at her almost maniacally.
"Then, needless to say!!"
Although Walnut couldn't use his hands to exert strength, he still strangled the monster's neck with difficulty - or "the place similar to the neck" - and pulled it away from Archer with all his strength.Heroic Spirit could almost see the veins protruding from the woman's temples.
"Use the treasure at a distance, Archer! It's okay to say one or two, if you are approached by a large number of monsters, you will die!!"
"Wait, don't you need to speak so contemptuously? ...Although it is basically the truth."
When the archer's life was hanging by a thread, he did not forget the usual interruptions, but his movements were unambiguous, and he got up and adjusted his posture.
——However, before he could set up the crossbow to aim, Hu Tao's spirit, which had been greatly depleted in the past few days, was suddenly exhausted.
With a sudden effort, the monster broke free from the woman's shackles, and it flashed its rotten-smelling sharp teeth and rushed towards the heroic spirit who was only a few feet away.
"Damn... damn!!!"
At that moment, Hu Tao felt that she hadn't thought of anything.
Just like she asked Archer to fight only for herself, until the end, she couldn't tolerate herself abandoning this Servant.
Therefore, she stepped up, kicked her legs, and jumped up completely instinctively. She slammed into the monster's huge body from the side with her shoulders that still had enough strength, and fell off the edge of the steps with it through the impact.
In the second before the free fall, she saw the expression of confusion and shock on the face of the survivor of the catastrophe—to be more precise, the expression of panic.
(……Feel sorry.)
For no reason, she thought.
(While talking so much, I left you behind in the end.)
Hu Tao managed to stretch his eyes, which were hurt by the high-altitude wind, and saw the green figure flying away, and the blurry sky above his head. It was very high, far, and vast, and it was a clear and beautiful blue. .
Probably no one would dislike such a cemetery.
(...Sorry.)
She thought to herself that the wind was really strong today, and it seemed that a few grains of sand were blown into her eyes.
"Miss ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
…………
…………
come down.come down.
Like Alice down the rabbit hole, the blond woman falls endlessly downward.
The nauseating weightlessness deprived all freedom of movement, and the open hands could not grasp anything except the sound of the wind passing between the fingers.In this endless emptiness, the only thing that still holds me tight is the tight pain in my chest.
Not reconciled, not reconciled, not reconciled.
Obviously only the last step.
Fall short.False success.The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests.
The mind is full of negative words that make people laugh and cry.If it was the usual Himisaka Walnut, she probably wouldn't allow herself to indulge in such unproductive self-pity.
But she couldn't deny it—it was the self-destructive folly she committed a moment ago.
(To be shaken by Archer's words...I'm really immature.)
However, yes.
She was still very young, and she should have acted frivolously and thoughtlessly at an age.After all, she is just a girl who has just turned [-]. As far as the normal growth process of human beings is concerned, she does not need to show any "mature" that has experienced many vicissitudes.
...if she is not a human pillar.
For Himizaka Kurumi, "growth" or "future" are really extravagant words.
The world did not leave her time for innocence, she could only desperately grow up quickly.
Naturally, she didn't lose her mind out of loathing the world or lamenting her own tragedy.If we really want to talk about the reason for her momentary slack, the culprit may be Archer's "eyes" when he spoke.
——This kind of world based on the misfortune of the eldest lady, I don't want to save it from the bottom of my heart.
The green-clothed young man's eyes mixed with anger, pity and pain, whipped her determination like torture.
(Ahh...my self-defeating and self-righteous "selfless" act has caused this person pain.)
Walnut doesn't expect to be saved.To be honest, she's never been one to take personal life too seriously.At least in the Japanese bushido concept she has practiced for many years, the gorgeous and poignant death of falling cherry blossoms is no less than the life full of trees and flowers.
But she just didn't notice that her life was no longer hers alone.
Even if she is in a dimension that doesn't intersect at all, even if the Holy Grail is destroyed and people are destined not to meet each other, the heroic spirit who accompanied her along the way will still be heartbroken for the end she will eventually reach.
No, not just Archer.
Brothers, girlfriends, and friends who met by chance in this battle.No matter how much she puts on a smile, there will always be people who will mourn and cry over her fate.
And the self who gave up hope of change from the beginning may be three points more cruel than Shibata who challenged the gods to save his family.
The only difference is that Shibata is cruel to the world other than the one she loves, and she is only cruel to the one she cherishes most.
What a... terrible woman.
When she came back to her senses, Hu Tao realized that there was only one thought left in her mind that was filled with negative consciousness a moment ago.
Incomparably weak but incomparably strong, a spark that stubbornly jumps in the dead sea of despair.
(I still, don't want to die here———)
Reach out.
Reach out even when there is nothing in front of you.
As long as you maintain a fighting posture for a second before your body is crushed, this is not a real defeat.
——After all, "being defeated" and "admitting defeat" are the same at first glance, but there is actually a world of difference.
So, reach out.
Even if no one responds to her stubbornness——
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! !!"
"...?!"
The sudden sharp pain in the shoulder made Hu Tao's eyes widen suddenly. When he looked up, he saw the burly and strong body of the King of Conquerors filling his field of vision, and his powerful giant palms were holding his slender arms tightly like a chicken.And he, bah, the car with an explosive watch under his feet was the one she was all too familiar with... a thunderbolt ox cart.
"It's been miserable, little girl."
The white-collar beauty Ogata You poked out her face lazily from the back of King Conqueror's Kukuo, the corners of her lips were half raised, and her delicate face with light workplace makeup was against the sunlight, looking as unreal as a goddess who fell from the sky.
"Really, I came to watch the live-action version of Heroic Spirits Battle, and I didn't intend to watch the jumping performance along the way. What did you just call it? Performance art? Exercise in the air?"
"... Whatever you say."
The walnut, which was still hanging in the air and fluttering in the wind, had no power to refute.
"I said, are you okay?! Please don't be scary. Suddenly seeing you fall from the top of the steps, I feel like I lost a few years of life!"
Weber Velvet, who showed his face to protest from the other side of Rider, looked half resentful and half worried.
"Sorry for being careless."
Hu Tao explained in the most concise and concise words she could think of, and relaxed her body to let the King of Conquerors carry her onto the chariot.Although Yuu and Weber were not polite, they also consciously sandwiched her from left to right to prevent the exhausted walnut from falling down again.
You squinted her beautiful eyes and looked her up and down, then suddenly raised her eyebrows with half irony and said.
"A moment of carelessness? This cannot be explained by carelessness. You must not have noticed it at all, have you?"
"……what?"
"Sure enough, I didn't find it. Then I'll say it straight: Himizaka Kurumi, your magic circuit is more than twice as weak as usual, and your magic power is still losing; your Servant is probably in the same situation. Even in In the case of Lien Chan's exhaustion, the human pillar will not be weakened to such an extent in a short period of time. ——In short, you have been plotted against by the 'God'."
"You mean... he deliberately weakened me and Archer?"
"That's right. I said that you are too simple. You can become one of the Masters with the most potential to win. Didn't you rely on the outstanding ability bestowed by the gods? Since you intend to fight God at this moment, it is only natural for him to take back this talent. "
Yuu shrugged nonchalantly.
"If there is anything unkind about God, it's that he has done a little trick to make you unaware of it. It's a pity that with me, a senior nerd who has a thorough study of magic, his efforts are just wasted That's all."
"........."
How should I face this situation?
Do you want to shout "Yeah! Long live the house queen!" or something.
To be honest, Walnut really wanted to do this a little bit.
"In other words, right now, Archer and I have become scumbags who can be knocked down with one blow?"
Hu Tao couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.
"Well, probably you can barely deal with a Master of Matou Shinji's level."
"I understand, we are the scum of Zhan 5. Then the escort can only be handed over to Rider and your Archer, please advise."
"I'm sorry, my Archer went down with your friends to cast the Great Wall of Human Body. Also, did you misunderstand something..."
Before Yuu could finish his sentence, a sensitive beast on the steps noticed them, immediately howled and swung its claws——
"Don't think about it!!"
——Unexpectedly, it was not the King of Conquerors driving the chariot who swung down the great sword awe-inspiringly, but a certain nostalgic red figure with hot eyes.
"Looks like we've caught up, the performer's younger sister."
The Roman emperor turned his face with his small chin raised high, and with a gentle expression close to compassion, he spoke condescendingly to Walnut.
"The performer has been escorted to a safe place by King Arthur, and his life is not in danger right now. You don't have to worry about it."
"...!! Nero, are you serious..."
"Of course, that's why I live here. Helping you open the final door is exactly what I wished in my life."
Nero spoke briefly and neatly, then turned around and rushed forward to the herd of beasts, raising a strangely shaped crimson iron sword.
"Listen, player's sister."
"……Yes."
Faintly comprehending the entrustment in Nero's words, Hu Tao couldn't help restraining herself in awe.
"You and the performer are both happy people."
"...?"
"No matter what others think, in my eyes, you are a 'family' who love each other deeply and are so happy that you can envy. Therefore, no one like you should give up this happiness with your own hands."
"------"
Ahh, that's right.
Even Nero euphemistically pointed out the blind spots in their vision.
Both brothers and sisters want to save each other wholeheartedly, but they forget to death that the most unbearable pain for the other is precisely the loss of themselves.
Regardless of sacrificing walnuts or killing winter trees, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the Happy Ending that the victims hope to build for the survivors.
In contrast, the survivors will be left with endless thoughts and regrets for the rest of their lives.
It doesn't matter what the ending is - the important thing is not to give up on yourself before the ending.
It is obviously such an easy-to-understand old saying, why have I never thought of it.
"Thank you, King Nero."
Hu Tao bowed his head respectfully and saluted the red-clothed swordsman, then turned to the majestic King of Conquerors who was driving fast.
"—Please send me to the last door, Lord Iskandar."
"Understood, leave it to me. Then let's go, boys!"
"Please control the speed Rider......Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Shut up kid, are you going to bite your tongue and kill yourself!"
…………
…………
"Ugh... vomit..."
As soon as Hu Tao stepped on the top of the stairs in a daze, he was hit hard on his waist by the impact from behind, and suddenly felt a tumbling in his stomach, and he was about to splash dirt on the clean white ladder without any image (Xu Fang You has already pinched his nose quite presciently).
"Miss, are you still alive, Miss?! Well, it doesn't look like a ghost, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of returning from a dead body..."
"Don't take the opportunity to grope, Archer. Sue you for sexual harassment, virgin."
Hearing Hu Tao's cold voice deliberately suppressing his emotions, the young man in green finally regained his composure temporarily, staring at her with wide eyes.
"Miss...is it really you?"
"Shall I show you the command spell?"
Walnut's voice became colder and colder.
"No, I don't think that's necessary."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, not even having time to conceal the weakness in his voice, he raised his arms and quietly pressed Hu Tao's head on his shoulders.
"That's great...I mean, it's really great, miss. Until then, I've always thought I was an unlucky fellow."
"You are indeed a willful Master like me."
Walnut said with a straight face.
"Permanent? Don't be kidding. Compared with the partners I met before, the lady is so cute and cute."
The tone is still frivolous and careless, but there is an incomparable seriousness somewhere.
"If the eldest lady died in front of me in that way just now..."
"If you dare to say die for love, I will immediately sever the contract with you."
Hu Tao raised his eyebrows and asserted unceremoniously.
"I don't remember ever having such a useless Servant."
"Well, I really don't have the seed to stay, miss."
"...that's nothing to be proud of, Archer."
No longer trying to correct the honor and disgrace of his followers, Hu Tao turned to thank the members of the red team who had been smacking their lips and watching coldly.
Yuu Ogata's reaction was as usual, simple and surprising:
"Don't thank me, I just fished it out when I saw someone jumping off a building so clumsily that people couldn't bear to look straight at it. Besides, when did I say that I would give you the Holy Grail? Do you think you can overcome this miserable state? Have you passed Rider and my Archer?"
"……makes sense."
After all, they were only a temporary alliance before defeating Shibata.Now that Shibata has been removed, the Holy Grail will no longer be abused by him, and it is only natural that Yuu and her will turn against each other.
"Then, you just take it."
"Miss...?!!"
Not only did Archer's expression change drastically seeing Walnut uttering these words lightly, but even Yuu, who was always calm, couldn't help blinking several times.
"...Are you really willing to give it to me?"
"Anyway, I don't have any wishes to make. Even if I make a wish, I can't change the status quo. In this case, why not let it create something for those in need. Besides, Miss Yu doesn't look like a villain."
Well, it's just a useless person who is addicted to Two-dimensional.
"Well, even if the wish I want to make is 'get all the games in this world'?"
"…………………………roll!!!"
——This is the last word that Walnut said before stepping into the Cup of Heaven.
…………
…………
When stepping into the pure white hall filled with religious atmosphere inside the Holy Grail, Walnut was filled with the urge to cry bitterly.
I think back when Shiro climbed the ladder with a smart and beautiful girl (although he also perfectly inherited the happy nature of his parents), all the Servants of the Five Wars came forward to defend him; Life and death are uncertain, he climbed to the top and was knocked down by a sneak attack. At the very moment, the knight who rescued himself appeared, but he also kept chanting, "You discriminate against Two-dimensional! You want all the games in this world What's wrong! Isn't the game more interesting than your stupid self-dedication! Don't underestimate the mind of the geek!..." The female boss of another dimension.
Although her character is indeed inferior to that of a friend of justice, what is this called?
"You're here anyway, Miss Nutella. I'm sorry."
On the other side of the last door, as expected, a slender figure of the Messenger of God appeared.Although she said "regret" on her lips, the expression on the delicate face of the girl with twin ponytails was more like a hesitant "sorry".
"...Don't worry about me, you can speak directly if you have something to say."
Somewhat guessing the girl's unspoken words, Walnut folded her arms as if in self-defense.
"Yes. God... seems to have changed his mind."
"What? Isn't it true that the great god wants to break the contract?"
Archer also sensed some clues, and sarcastically grabbed the white line.
"Generally not, but gods often do not foresee the possibility of their own failure."
Responding with a wry smile was the girl's follower, a boy in white with long light green hair swaying like willows in early spring.Surprisingly, Enkidu's beautiful eyebrows had a faint look of pity, whether it came from sympathy for the walnuts or lamentation for his own fate.
"To put it simply, God never intended to give the power to change the world to Human Pillar from the very beginning. The reason why he put forward the so-called 'test' is simply because he didn't expect you to be able to climb up, and he wanted to show the mind of God to some extent and kindness."
"Hmph, it's too superficial. Gods who underestimate humans are all idiots."
Ogata Yu stepped on the workplace stilettos and approached calmly, and stood still in front of the roadblocker with one hand on his waist.
"By the way, let me make a digression. If it is Shibata who arrived here, will you also block his way?"
The envoy girl and Enkidu looked at each other, then shook their heads calmly and slowly.
"God will only prevent Renzhu 'himself' from obtaining the Holy Grail, and will not interfere with Renzhu's relatives, friends and family members. To say why..."
"—Because God doesn't believe in it at all, someone would be so stupid as to hand over the omnipotent wish machine to others."
This time, it was the familiar voice that made Hu Tao feel very kind.
Miao Kawashima and Nanako Komatsu—the two girls who have lived with her for many years and lived together through the door one after the other, followed by their respective knights.Although both of them looked tired, judging from the shining eyes like a morning star, it was obvious that their lives were safe.
"But it's a pity...yes, it's us who should say 'sorry.' We just happen to be such wasteful fools."
A Miao stood side by side with Hu Tao, and without a word, he took her limp and drooping arm (Hu Tao, whose arm was injured, immediately hissed strangely).
"Cough... sorry for Walnut. All in all, Nanako and I both have heroic spirits, and we are undoubtedly qualified to touch the Holy Grail. Give us the Holy Grail and let us change Walnut's future. The result is the same."
"Wait, wait a minute, you said you want to change..."
How is that different from Shibata-? !
"A Miao, Nanako, do you know any way to change the Human Pillar System without causing the world to collapse?"
Hu Tao asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Huh? I don't know."
The two answered very concisely and briskly.
"...Well, I appreciate your kindness, I'd better give the holy grail to Miss Yu to change the game."
That's better than dismantling people's pillars and causing the world view to collapse.
"Don't be so impatient, dear Nutty."
Nanako glanced at the happy-looking Witch of the House, played with her fingertips and spoke slowly.
"We only said that we didn't know, but we didn't mean that no one told us."
"Varied……"
"Be at ease, good man. Of course we know that you will not sacrifice the world to save yourself, so we have prepared a solution that will allow you to coexist with the current world."
Kawashima Miao smiled and answered.
"So, when is that plan..."
"If you have to say it, it was just 2 minutes ago."
"Sounds completely unreliable—!!"
"Yes, even I myself think this is a completely unreliable plan. But since someone suggested it to me, as your friend, it is necessary for me to give it a try."
Facing Hu Tao's exaggerated yelling, Kawashima Miao showed unexpected composure and composure, and took it steadily with his usual outstanding determination.
"Walnut, this is related to the rest of your life."
"—"
Walnut was speechless.
For Shibata, who is trying to overturn the world's laws to save his family, he can stand on the moral high ground and condemn without pressure.However, once her friend tried to do similar things for herself, she couldn't be harsh.
As if seeing through her girlfriend's hesitation, A Miao stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, evoking a slight smile.
"Trust me," she said.
"A Miao..."
Hu Tao managed to squeeze out two words, feeling a lump in his throat.
"Believe me dear, you are not important enough for me to destroy the world for you."
"…………roll!"
After going back and forth like this, the heavy haze that was overwhelming Hu Tao's heart suddenly dissipated a little for no reason, and her mind gradually cleared up.
(...That's right. Miao and Nanako are buddies who wear a skirt with me, so they won't do stupid things like Shibata.)
"I understand. I will leave it to you later, A Miao and Nanako."
She gave a slight nod to the two girlfriends who had been traveling together so far, then turned to the angelic girl and raised her voice.
"—Kawashima Myo and Komatsu Nanako will receive the Holy Grail, so you have no objection?"
"Theoretically, there's no problem. Please."
The girl bowed her head firmly and saluted, before she had time to bow and step aside, she was cut off by a clear female voice with full penetrating power.
"Wait a minute, where's my game?!"
"..."
"........."
"…………"
…………… Alas, I forgot that there is a final boss.
Compared with Walnut, who held her forehead and couldn't stop sighing, Miao Kawashima once again showed the extraordinary calmness of the elderly.
"If I remember correctly, the Holy Grail can fulfill the wishes of Master and Servant respectively, right?"
"true."
"Then Lancelot, please make a wish for Miss Yu... just give her all the games that exist in the world."
"Hehe~ Sure enough, Kawashima-kun is a fast-talking and easy-talking person, which is quite different from some chirping golden retriever."
"what--?!"
Before the Knight of the Lake could answer, Green Archer, who was also a follower, was the first to shout in surprise.
"I said, is this really good? It's not good in every sense! Isn't this completely ignoring the human rights of Servants!!"
"Thank you for your concern, Archer. But please don't worry too much. It is my greatest honor as a knight to be loyal to the Holy Grail."
Lancelot leaned slightly with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and his attitude was as calm as his master's, which sent chills down the spine.
"No, no, no matter how you think about it, it's not an honor but a shame, an indescribable shame..."
"Now that victory is close at hand, it is definitely not a good idea to fight against Miss Yu, not to mention that she has done her best for our battle. Since this is the case, fulfilling her wish is just an act of kindness, so why is it shameful? "
"...Forget it, I can't reason with the noble knight-sama."
Robin Hood smacked his lips impatiently, and waved his hands angrily.
"I'm just asking you as a Servant, Mr. Berserker. Are you really willing to give up your wish just because of that moldy woman's game craze?"
"It's natural."
The Knights of the Round Table nodded deeply with a million points of sincerity.
"Because my wish has been fulfilled in your hands."
King Arthur broke free from the shackles that bound him.
Gawain was freed from the dark cage of rage.
Matou Kariya and Sakura, who were originally destined to fall into the chain of tragedy, will also have a different future in this world.
As far as the noble Sir Lancelot is concerned, he has no more unresolved memories.
The matter has come to this point, and more arguments or words of retention are futile.Walnut and Archer stopped at the spot with their own thoughts, watching their friend and her knight step into the dazzling halo of the Great Holy Grail together.
"Curious what her so-called 'solution' is."
Enkidu and Hutao watched the two walk towards the finish line together, and suddenly pursed their lips meaningfully and smiled.
"If it's not forcibly peeling off the human pillar, it's probably to 'restore' the world to the era when the human pillar system was not born... But the Holy Grail in this world is not complete, and it cannot fundamentally violate the laws of the world."
"……What's the meaning?"
Walnut couldn't help asking.
"That is to say, the Holy Grail cannot 'degenerate' the world. It is impossible for the existing human pillars to be liberated, and it is even more impossible for the human pillar system to be eliminated. That's why it is curious... what kind of approach they will take to help their friends. "
The neutral boy put his cheeks on his hands, and smiled lightly in a cool voice like the summer evening breeze.
"Also, I'm also very concerned about the 'person' who proposed to them 2 minutes ago. If it's the same person as the person I'm delusional about, it wouldn't be surprising anyway."
The object that Enkidu could guess—no matter how you look at it, there is only one person in the sky and on the earth.
However, "that person" is also the only guy who has no reason to work hard for Walnut.To be honest, Hu Tao was extremely satisfied if he didn't turn against him.
It's hard to imagine that he would propose a life-saving prescription for himself...
"Yes, the human-pillar system cannot degenerate."
Without warning, Kawashima Miao's high-pitched and crisp voice resounded through the hall.
"No matter how stupid it is x plus three levels, this is an unshakable existing system. Since it cannot be pushed back to its original position, it can only reluctantly play the role of the founder and push it forward— — that's what 'that guy' said."
(forward……?)
Without waiting for everyone to understand the true meaning of the girl's words, she read out the prophecy book that determined the future with a high-spirited voice like reciting a hymn.
"Then let's make it come true—Kawashima Myo's wish is to transform all human beings in the world into human pillars."
…………
........................
....................................
“……………?!!!”
incredible.
Incredible.
But at the same time, there is an indescribable sense of steadfastness.
(Ahh...so that's the case.)
This is a simple word game.
The world does not allow retrogression. The "human pillar system" cannot be broken.
Then, just "upgrade" the system.
For the world, it is an irreversible evolutionary process from the initial chaos to "everything is carried by a few people".
Today, the advancement from "a small number of people bear the disaster" to "all human beings bear the burden together" can also be said to be a kind of evolution.
But as far as the result is concerned, it is no different from before the birth of Renzhu.
This is undoubtedly an absurd set of fallacies and paradoxes with no practical value, but it can actually defeat the arrogance and majesty of God.
And the guy who has the courage to put forward this fallacy must have a mind that is above the gods and arrogant.
(...At the end of the day, I still owe him a favor that I will never pay back for the rest of my life.)
Despite this tinge of regret, Walnut still had to pay tribute to the moody proposer.
Due to his whim, not only himself was saved this time... The shadow of doom that hangs over everyone's head can finally be buried in the annals of history.
Although in a not very aboveboard way.
"I don't really understand the principle... In short, the eldest lady doesn't have to be short-lived? Doesn't she have to be unlucky all her life?"
"It seems so."
As soon as the pressure on his shoulders was relieved, a huge sense of burnout hit him like a mountain and a sea.Hu Tao suddenly felt his whole body lose its fulcrum, but thanks to Archer reaching out in time, he didn't fall to the ground with his knees limp.The familiar body heat was close at hand but filled with a fleeting sense of illusion, which made her feel a sore nose suddenly.
(Too bad, I don't seem to be as ruthless as I imagined... Sure enough, I still can't escape this moment in the end.)
The fulfillment of prayers and the end of the Holy Grail War mean that all the heroes will return to where they should go.This long road of supporting each other and staggering, is now finally reaching the terminus.
"I said, Archer..."
Walnut tried his best to suppress the wet and salty taste of tears in his voice.
At this moment, Lancelot's magnetic and solemn voice followed closely behind the Master:
"Holy Grail, I also ride on the round table
Obviously, it is a critical juncture in the race against time.
Obviously it shouldn't stop there.
Himizaka Kurumi was pinned motionless within the reach of the Holy Grail.
"It's kind of like saying that now... But seeing this world being swallowed up by hell, I just can't help but feel happy. To be honest, I don't want this kind of world based on the misfortune of the young lady from the bottom of my heart. Go save it."
"Then don't think about whether you can save it or not."
As if to express his rejection of this topic, Hu Tao interrupted coldly.
"You are my Servant, Archer. Until the end, there is only one thing you need to think about."
——It is enough for you to fight for me.Compared with the lonely hero who has been thinking about the reason for fighting for many years, the mercenary who collects money and does things for others is much more relaxed.
——Because of my immaturity, I have already caused you too much trouble.At least for this trouble of digging my own grave, let me knock out my teeth alone, chew and swallow slowly with blood.
Hu Tao didn't turn around to confirm the bow soldier's expression, but silently raised his arms back.After a moment of stalemate, she felt that her fingertips were gently hooked with extreme care.
"I understand, miss."
Ying Ling said.
Fortunately, Archer was not self-willed enough to turn against him at the last minute because of his personal likes and dislikes.Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and held back the young man's wide, calloused palm.
"As long as you know……"
In the next second, a sudden and sudden chill hit his whole body without warning.
"Archer, behind you——?!!"
She yelled too late.
Because the two had their own concerns, they both lacked a little sense of tension at the last moment.Because of this negligence in less than a second, the beast that quietly climbed up to the two of them flew up with a long howl, and the blood splashed from under the fangs and claws immediately dyed Archer's dark green cloak deep red.
Although Robin Hood is not thin, he is not a heroic spirit who is good at close combat.What's more, the fierce beast in front of him that single-shot past the two knights is definitely not a kind beast, it should be an upgraded version of Ver.special.
"Archer!? Damn..."
Under the protection of the heroic spirit, Hu Tao barely escaped the first wave of attacks, but she also lost her balance and rolled to the edge of the steps. Just as she was trying to pick up the long knife in her hand, she was stunned by a piercing pain. buzzing.
"Tsk...!"
For a moment, she only felt that her eyes were straight, and she quickly closed her eyelids and shook her head several times, only then did she recover from the dizziness that almost made her lose consciousness.
(Damn, the wound again...)
You don't need to look at it to know that the flesh and blood torn from the battle with Kojiro began to look for a sense of existence unwilling to be lonely.
Walnut smiled wryly and glanced at his only remaining left hand—after the pounce of the beast that can make ordinary people vomit their internal organs, it is at this moment softly bent like Harry Potter's arm hit by a Bludger to an odd angle.
(It seems that bloodletting is a bit too much these days... Renzhu's healing ability has also reached its limit.)
But now is not the time to condemn himself for his strategic mistakes. Seeing that there is no hope in wielding the knife, Hu Tao simply swung his useless arms and rushed forward. on the monster.
"What... miss, idiot, what are you doing?!"
Regardless of the bleeding wound on his body and the throat that had been bitten through the skin, Archer yelled at her almost maniacally.
"Then, needless to say!!"
Although Walnut couldn't use his hands to exert strength, he still strangled the monster's neck with difficulty - or "the place similar to the neck" - and pulled it away from Archer with all his strength.Heroic Spirit could almost see the veins protruding from the woman's temples.
"Use the treasure at a distance, Archer! It's okay to say one or two, if you are approached by a large number of monsters, you will die!!"
"Wait, don't you need to speak so contemptuously? ...Although it is basically the truth."
When the archer's life was hanging by a thread, he did not forget the usual interruptions, but his movements were unambiguous, and he got up and adjusted his posture.
——However, before he could set up the crossbow to aim, Hu Tao's spirit, which had been greatly depleted in the past few days, was suddenly exhausted.
With a sudden effort, the monster broke free from the woman's shackles, and it flashed its rotten-smelling sharp teeth and rushed towards the heroic spirit who was only a few feet away.
"Damn... damn!!!"
At that moment, Hu Tao felt that she hadn't thought of anything.
Just like she asked Archer to fight only for herself, until the end, she couldn't tolerate herself abandoning this Servant.
Therefore, she stepped up, kicked her legs, and jumped up completely instinctively. She slammed into the monster's huge body from the side with her shoulders that still had enough strength, and fell off the edge of the steps with it through the impact.
In the second before the free fall, she saw the expression of confusion and shock on the face of the survivor of the catastrophe—to be more precise, the expression of panic.
(……Feel sorry.)
For no reason, she thought.
(While talking so much, I left you behind in the end.)
Hu Tao managed to stretch his eyes, which were hurt by the high-altitude wind, and saw the green figure flying away, and the blurry sky above his head. It was very high, far, and vast, and it was a clear and beautiful blue. .
Probably no one would dislike such a cemetery.
(...Sorry.)
She thought to herself that the wind was really strong today, and it seemed that a few grains of sand were blown into her eyes.
"Miss ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
…………
…………
come down.come down.
Like Alice down the rabbit hole, the blond woman falls endlessly downward.
The nauseating weightlessness deprived all freedom of movement, and the open hands could not grasp anything except the sound of the wind passing between the fingers.In this endless emptiness, the only thing that still holds me tight is the tight pain in my chest.
Not reconciled, not reconciled, not reconciled.
Obviously only the last step.
Fall short.False success.The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests.
The mind is full of negative words that make people laugh and cry.If it was the usual Himisaka Walnut, she probably wouldn't allow herself to indulge in such unproductive self-pity.
But she couldn't deny it—it was the self-destructive folly she committed a moment ago.
(To be shaken by Archer's words...I'm really immature.)
However, yes.
She was still very young, and she should have acted frivolously and thoughtlessly at an age.After all, she is just a girl who has just turned [-]. As far as the normal growth process of human beings is concerned, she does not need to show any "mature" that has experienced many vicissitudes.
...if she is not a human pillar.
For Himizaka Kurumi, "growth" or "future" are really extravagant words.
The world did not leave her time for innocence, she could only desperately grow up quickly.
Naturally, she didn't lose her mind out of loathing the world or lamenting her own tragedy.If we really want to talk about the reason for her momentary slack, the culprit may be Archer's "eyes" when he spoke.
——This kind of world based on the misfortune of the eldest lady, I don't want to save it from the bottom of my heart.
The green-clothed young man's eyes mixed with anger, pity and pain, whipped her determination like torture.
(Ahh...my self-defeating and self-righteous "selfless" act has caused this person pain.)
Walnut doesn't expect to be saved.To be honest, she's never been one to take personal life too seriously.At least in the Japanese bushido concept she has practiced for many years, the gorgeous and poignant death of falling cherry blossoms is no less than the life full of trees and flowers.
But she just didn't notice that her life was no longer hers alone.
Even if she is in a dimension that doesn't intersect at all, even if the Holy Grail is destroyed and people are destined not to meet each other, the heroic spirit who accompanied her along the way will still be heartbroken for the end she will eventually reach.
No, not just Archer.
Brothers, girlfriends, and friends who met by chance in this battle.No matter how much she puts on a smile, there will always be people who will mourn and cry over her fate.
And the self who gave up hope of change from the beginning may be three points more cruel than Shibata who challenged the gods to save his family.
The only difference is that Shibata is cruel to the world other than the one she loves, and she is only cruel to the one she cherishes most.
What a... terrible woman.
When she came back to her senses, Hu Tao realized that there was only one thought left in her mind that was filled with negative consciousness a moment ago.
Incomparably weak but incomparably strong, a spark that stubbornly jumps in the dead sea of despair.
(I still, don't want to die here———)
Reach out.
Reach out even when there is nothing in front of you.
As long as you maintain a fighting posture for a second before your body is crushed, this is not a real defeat.
——After all, "being defeated" and "admitting defeat" are the same at first glance, but there is actually a world of difference.
So, reach out.
Even if no one responds to her stubbornness——
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! !!"
"...?!"
The sudden sharp pain in the shoulder made Hu Tao's eyes widen suddenly. When he looked up, he saw the burly and strong body of the King of Conquerors filling his field of vision, and his powerful giant palms were holding his slender arms tightly like a chicken.And he, bah, the car with an explosive watch under his feet was the one she was all too familiar with... a thunderbolt ox cart.
"It's been miserable, little girl."
The white-collar beauty Ogata You poked out her face lazily from the back of King Conqueror's Kukuo, the corners of her lips were half raised, and her delicate face with light workplace makeup was against the sunlight, looking as unreal as a goddess who fell from the sky.
"Really, I came to watch the live-action version of Heroic Spirits Battle, and I didn't intend to watch the jumping performance along the way. What did you just call it? Performance art? Exercise in the air?"
"... Whatever you say."
The walnut, which was still hanging in the air and fluttering in the wind, had no power to refute.
"I said, are you okay?! Please don't be scary. Suddenly seeing you fall from the top of the steps, I feel like I lost a few years of life!"
Weber Velvet, who showed his face to protest from the other side of Rider, looked half resentful and half worried.
"Sorry for being careless."
Hu Tao explained in the most concise and concise words she could think of, and relaxed her body to let the King of Conquerors carry her onto the chariot.Although Yuu and Weber were not polite, they also consciously sandwiched her from left to right to prevent the exhausted walnut from falling down again.
You squinted her beautiful eyes and looked her up and down, then suddenly raised her eyebrows with half irony and said.
"A moment of carelessness? This cannot be explained by carelessness. You must not have noticed it at all, have you?"
"……what?"
"Sure enough, I didn't find it. Then I'll say it straight: Himizaka Kurumi, your magic circuit is more than twice as weak as usual, and your magic power is still losing; your Servant is probably in the same situation. Even in In the case of Lien Chan's exhaustion, the human pillar will not be weakened to such an extent in a short period of time. ——In short, you have been plotted against by the 'God'."
"You mean... he deliberately weakened me and Archer?"
"That's right. I said that you are too simple. You can become one of the Masters with the most potential to win. Didn't you rely on the outstanding ability bestowed by the gods? Since you intend to fight God at this moment, it is only natural for him to take back this talent. "
Yuu shrugged nonchalantly.
"If there is anything unkind about God, it's that he has done a little trick to make you unaware of it. It's a pity that with me, a senior nerd who has a thorough study of magic, his efforts are just wasted That's all."
"........."
How should I face this situation?
Do you want to shout "Yeah! Long live the house queen!" or something.
To be honest, Walnut really wanted to do this a little bit.
"In other words, right now, Archer and I have become scumbags who can be knocked down with one blow?"
Hu Tao couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.
"Well, probably you can barely deal with a Master of Matou Shinji's level."
"I understand, we are the scum of Zhan 5. Then the escort can only be handed over to Rider and your Archer, please advise."
"I'm sorry, my Archer went down with your friends to cast the Great Wall of Human Body. Also, did you misunderstand something..."
Before Yuu could finish his sentence, a sensitive beast on the steps noticed them, immediately howled and swung its claws——
"Don't think about it!!"
——Unexpectedly, it was not the King of Conquerors driving the chariot who swung down the great sword awe-inspiringly, but a certain nostalgic red figure with hot eyes.
"Looks like we've caught up, the performer's younger sister."
The Roman emperor turned his face with his small chin raised high, and with a gentle expression close to compassion, he spoke condescendingly to Walnut.
"The performer has been escorted to a safe place by King Arthur, and his life is not in danger right now. You don't have to worry about it."
"...!! Nero, are you serious..."
"Of course, that's why I live here. Helping you open the final door is exactly what I wished in my life."
Nero spoke briefly and neatly, then turned around and rushed forward to the herd of beasts, raising a strangely shaped crimson iron sword.
"Listen, player's sister."
"……Yes."
Faintly comprehending the entrustment in Nero's words, Hu Tao couldn't help restraining herself in awe.
"You and the performer are both happy people."
"...?"
"No matter what others think, in my eyes, you are a 'family' who love each other deeply and are so happy that you can envy. Therefore, no one like you should give up this happiness with your own hands."
"------"
Ahh, that's right.
Even Nero euphemistically pointed out the blind spots in their vision.
Both brothers and sisters want to save each other wholeheartedly, but they forget to death that the most unbearable pain for the other is precisely the loss of themselves.
Regardless of sacrificing walnuts or killing winter trees, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the Happy Ending that the victims hope to build for the survivors.
In contrast, the survivors will be left with endless thoughts and regrets for the rest of their lives.
It doesn't matter what the ending is - the important thing is not to give up on yourself before the ending.
It is obviously such an easy-to-understand old saying, why have I never thought of it.
"Thank you, King Nero."
Hu Tao bowed his head respectfully and saluted the red-clothed swordsman, then turned to the majestic King of Conquerors who was driving fast.
"—Please send me to the last door, Lord Iskandar."
"Understood, leave it to me. Then let's go, boys!"
"Please control the speed Rider......Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Shut up kid, are you going to bite your tongue and kill yourself!"
…………
…………
"Ugh... vomit..."
As soon as Hu Tao stepped on the top of the stairs in a daze, he was hit hard on his waist by the impact from behind, and suddenly felt a tumbling in his stomach, and he was about to splash dirt on the clean white ladder without any image (Xu Fang You has already pinched his nose quite presciently).
"Miss, are you still alive, Miss?! Well, it doesn't look like a ghost, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of returning from a dead body..."
"Don't take the opportunity to grope, Archer. Sue you for sexual harassment, virgin."
Hearing Hu Tao's cold voice deliberately suppressing his emotions, the young man in green finally regained his composure temporarily, staring at her with wide eyes.
"Miss...is it really you?"
"Shall I show you the command spell?"
Walnut's voice became colder and colder.
"No, I don't think that's necessary."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, not even having time to conceal the weakness in his voice, he raised his arms and quietly pressed Hu Tao's head on his shoulders.
"That's great...I mean, it's really great, miss. Until then, I've always thought I was an unlucky fellow."
"You are indeed a willful Master like me."
Walnut said with a straight face.
"Permanent? Don't be kidding. Compared with the partners I met before, the lady is so cute and cute."
The tone is still frivolous and careless, but there is an incomparable seriousness somewhere.
"If the eldest lady died in front of me in that way just now..."
"If you dare to say die for love, I will immediately sever the contract with you."
Hu Tao raised his eyebrows and asserted unceremoniously.
"I don't remember ever having such a useless Servant."
"Well, I really don't have the seed to stay, miss."
"...that's nothing to be proud of, Archer."
No longer trying to correct the honor and disgrace of his followers, Hu Tao turned to thank the members of the red team who had been smacking their lips and watching coldly.
Yuu Ogata's reaction was as usual, simple and surprising:
"Don't thank me, I just fished it out when I saw someone jumping off a building so clumsily that people couldn't bear to look straight at it. Besides, when did I say that I would give you the Holy Grail? Do you think you can overcome this miserable state? Have you passed Rider and my Archer?"
"……makes sense."
After all, they were only a temporary alliance before defeating Shibata.Now that Shibata has been removed, the Holy Grail will no longer be abused by him, and it is only natural that Yuu and her will turn against each other.
"Then, you just take it."
"Miss...?!!"
Not only did Archer's expression change drastically seeing Walnut uttering these words lightly, but even Yuu, who was always calm, couldn't help blinking several times.
"...Are you really willing to give it to me?"
"Anyway, I don't have any wishes to make. Even if I make a wish, I can't change the status quo. In this case, why not let it create something for those in need. Besides, Miss Yu doesn't look like a villain."
Well, it's just a useless person who is addicted to Two-dimensional.
"Well, even if the wish I want to make is 'get all the games in this world'?"
"…………………………roll!!!"
——This is the last word that Walnut said before stepping into the Cup of Heaven.
…………
…………
When stepping into the pure white hall filled with religious atmosphere inside the Holy Grail, Walnut was filled with the urge to cry bitterly.
I think back when Shiro climbed the ladder with a smart and beautiful girl (although he also perfectly inherited the happy nature of his parents), all the Servants of the Five Wars came forward to defend him; Life and death are uncertain, he climbed to the top and was knocked down by a sneak attack. At the very moment, the knight who rescued himself appeared, but he also kept chanting, "You discriminate against Two-dimensional! You want all the games in this world What's wrong! Isn't the game more interesting than your stupid self-dedication! Don't underestimate the mind of the geek!..." The female boss of another dimension.
Although her character is indeed inferior to that of a friend of justice, what is this called?
"You're here anyway, Miss Nutella. I'm sorry."
On the other side of the last door, as expected, a slender figure of the Messenger of God appeared.Although she said "regret" on her lips, the expression on the delicate face of the girl with twin ponytails was more like a hesitant "sorry".
"...Don't worry about me, you can speak directly if you have something to say."
Somewhat guessing the girl's unspoken words, Walnut folded her arms as if in self-defense.
"Yes. God... seems to have changed his mind."
"What? Isn't it true that the great god wants to break the contract?"
Archer also sensed some clues, and sarcastically grabbed the white line.
"Generally not, but gods often do not foresee the possibility of their own failure."
Responding with a wry smile was the girl's follower, a boy in white with long light green hair swaying like willows in early spring.Surprisingly, Enkidu's beautiful eyebrows had a faint look of pity, whether it came from sympathy for the walnuts or lamentation for his own fate.
"To put it simply, God never intended to give the power to change the world to Human Pillar from the very beginning. The reason why he put forward the so-called 'test' is simply because he didn't expect you to be able to climb up, and he wanted to show the mind of God to some extent and kindness."
"Hmph, it's too superficial. Gods who underestimate humans are all idiots."
Ogata Yu stepped on the workplace stilettos and approached calmly, and stood still in front of the roadblocker with one hand on his waist.
"By the way, let me make a digression. If it is Shibata who arrived here, will you also block his way?"
The envoy girl and Enkidu looked at each other, then shook their heads calmly and slowly.
"God will only prevent Renzhu 'himself' from obtaining the Holy Grail, and will not interfere with Renzhu's relatives, friends and family members. To say why..."
"—Because God doesn't believe in it at all, someone would be so stupid as to hand over the omnipotent wish machine to others."
This time, it was the familiar voice that made Hu Tao feel very kind.
Miao Kawashima and Nanako Komatsu—the two girls who have lived with her for many years and lived together through the door one after the other, followed by their respective knights.Although both of them looked tired, judging from the shining eyes like a morning star, it was obvious that their lives were safe.
"But it's a pity...yes, it's us who should say 'sorry.' We just happen to be such wasteful fools."
A Miao stood side by side with Hu Tao, and without a word, he took her limp and drooping arm (Hu Tao, whose arm was injured, immediately hissed strangely).
"Cough... sorry for Walnut. All in all, Nanako and I both have heroic spirits, and we are undoubtedly qualified to touch the Holy Grail. Give us the Holy Grail and let us change Walnut's future. The result is the same."
"Wait, wait a minute, you said you want to change..."
How is that different from Shibata-? !
"A Miao, Nanako, do you know any way to change the Human Pillar System without causing the world to collapse?"
Hu Tao asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Huh? I don't know."
The two answered very concisely and briskly.
"...Well, I appreciate your kindness, I'd better give the holy grail to Miss Yu to change the game."
That's better than dismantling people's pillars and causing the world view to collapse.
"Don't be so impatient, dear Nutty."
Nanako glanced at the happy-looking Witch of the House, played with her fingertips and spoke slowly.
"We only said that we didn't know, but we didn't mean that no one told us."
"Varied……"
"Be at ease, good man. Of course we know that you will not sacrifice the world to save yourself, so we have prepared a solution that will allow you to coexist with the current world."
Kawashima Miao smiled and answered.
"So, when is that plan..."
"If you have to say it, it was just 2 minutes ago."
"Sounds completely unreliable—!!"
"Yes, even I myself think this is a completely unreliable plan. But since someone suggested it to me, as your friend, it is necessary for me to give it a try."
Facing Hu Tao's exaggerated yelling, Kawashima Miao showed unexpected composure and composure, and took it steadily with his usual outstanding determination.
"Walnut, this is related to the rest of your life."
"—"
Walnut was speechless.
For Shibata, who is trying to overturn the world's laws to save his family, he can stand on the moral high ground and condemn without pressure.However, once her friend tried to do similar things for herself, she couldn't be harsh.
As if seeing through her girlfriend's hesitation, A Miao stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, evoking a slight smile.
"Trust me," she said.
"A Miao..."
Hu Tao managed to squeeze out two words, feeling a lump in his throat.
"Believe me dear, you are not important enough for me to destroy the world for you."
"…………roll!"
After going back and forth like this, the heavy haze that was overwhelming Hu Tao's heart suddenly dissipated a little for no reason, and her mind gradually cleared up.
(...That's right. Miao and Nanako are buddies who wear a skirt with me, so they won't do stupid things like Shibata.)
"I understand. I will leave it to you later, A Miao and Nanako."
She gave a slight nod to the two girlfriends who had been traveling together so far, then turned to the angelic girl and raised her voice.
"—Kawashima Myo and Komatsu Nanako will receive the Holy Grail, so you have no objection?"
"Theoretically, there's no problem. Please."
The girl bowed her head firmly and saluted, before she had time to bow and step aside, she was cut off by a clear female voice with full penetrating power.
"Wait a minute, where's my game?!"
"..."
"........."
"…………"
…………… Alas, I forgot that there is a final boss.
Compared with Walnut, who held her forehead and couldn't stop sighing, Miao Kawashima once again showed the extraordinary calmness of the elderly.
"If I remember correctly, the Holy Grail can fulfill the wishes of Master and Servant respectively, right?"
"true."
"Then Lancelot, please make a wish for Miss Yu... just give her all the games that exist in the world."
"Hehe~ Sure enough, Kawashima-kun is a fast-talking and easy-talking person, which is quite different from some chirping golden retriever."
"what--?!"
Before the Knight of the Lake could answer, Green Archer, who was also a follower, was the first to shout in surprise.
"I said, is this really good? It's not good in every sense! Isn't this completely ignoring the human rights of Servants!!"
"Thank you for your concern, Archer. But please don't worry too much. It is my greatest honor as a knight to be loyal to the Holy Grail."
Lancelot leaned slightly with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and his attitude was as calm as his master's, which sent chills down the spine.
"No, no, no matter how you think about it, it's not an honor but a shame, an indescribable shame..."
"Now that victory is close at hand, it is definitely not a good idea to fight against Miss Yu, not to mention that she has done her best for our battle. Since this is the case, fulfilling her wish is just an act of kindness, so why is it shameful? "
"...Forget it, I can't reason with the noble knight-sama."
Robin Hood smacked his lips impatiently, and waved his hands angrily.
"I'm just asking you as a Servant, Mr. Berserker. Are you really willing to give up your wish just because of that moldy woman's game craze?"
"It's natural."
The Knights of the Round Table nodded deeply with a million points of sincerity.
"Because my wish has been fulfilled in your hands."
King Arthur broke free from the shackles that bound him.
Gawain was freed from the dark cage of rage.
Matou Kariya and Sakura, who were originally destined to fall into the chain of tragedy, will also have a different future in this world.
As far as the noble Sir Lancelot is concerned, he has no more unresolved memories.
The matter has come to this point, and more arguments or words of retention are futile.Walnut and Archer stopped at the spot with their own thoughts, watching their friend and her knight step into the dazzling halo of the Great Holy Grail together.
"Curious what her so-called 'solution' is."
Enkidu and Hutao watched the two walk towards the finish line together, and suddenly pursed their lips meaningfully and smiled.
"If it's not forcibly peeling off the human pillar, it's probably to 'restore' the world to the era when the human pillar system was not born... But the Holy Grail in this world is not complete, and it cannot fundamentally violate the laws of the world."
"……What's the meaning?"
Walnut couldn't help asking.
"That is to say, the Holy Grail cannot 'degenerate' the world. It is impossible for the existing human pillars to be liberated, and it is even more impossible for the human pillar system to be eliminated. That's why it is curious... what kind of approach they will take to help their friends. "
The neutral boy put his cheeks on his hands, and smiled lightly in a cool voice like the summer evening breeze.
"Also, I'm also very concerned about the 'person' who proposed to them 2 minutes ago. If it's the same person as the person I'm delusional about, it wouldn't be surprising anyway."
The object that Enkidu could guess—no matter how you look at it, there is only one person in the sky and on the earth.
However, "that person" is also the only guy who has no reason to work hard for Walnut.To be honest, Hu Tao was extremely satisfied if he didn't turn against him.
It's hard to imagine that he would propose a life-saving prescription for himself...
"Yes, the human-pillar system cannot degenerate."
Without warning, Kawashima Miao's high-pitched and crisp voice resounded through the hall.
"No matter how stupid it is x plus three levels, this is an unshakable existing system. Since it cannot be pushed back to its original position, it can only reluctantly play the role of the founder and push it forward— — that's what 'that guy' said."
(forward……?)
Without waiting for everyone to understand the true meaning of the girl's words, she read out the prophecy book that determined the future with a high-spirited voice like reciting a hymn.
"Then let's make it come true—Kawashima Myo's wish is to transform all human beings in the world into human pillars."
…………
........................
....................................
“……………?!!!”
incredible.
Incredible.
But at the same time, there is an indescribable sense of steadfastness.
(Ahh...so that's the case.)
This is a simple word game.
The world does not allow retrogression. The "human pillar system" cannot be broken.
Then, just "upgrade" the system.
For the world, it is an irreversible evolutionary process from the initial chaos to "everything is carried by a few people".
Today, the advancement from "a small number of people bear the disaster" to "all human beings bear the burden together" can also be said to be a kind of evolution.
But as far as the result is concerned, it is no different from before the birth of Renzhu.
This is undoubtedly an absurd set of fallacies and paradoxes with no practical value, but it can actually defeat the arrogance and majesty of God.
And the guy who has the courage to put forward this fallacy must have a mind that is above the gods and arrogant.
(...At the end of the day, I still owe him a favor that I will never pay back for the rest of my life.)
Despite this tinge of regret, Walnut still had to pay tribute to the moody proposer.
Due to his whim, not only himself was saved this time... The shadow of doom that hangs over everyone's head can finally be buried in the annals of history.
Although in a not very aboveboard way.
"I don't really understand the principle... In short, the eldest lady doesn't have to be short-lived? Doesn't she have to be unlucky all her life?"
"It seems so."
As soon as the pressure on his shoulders was relieved, a huge sense of burnout hit him like a mountain and a sea.Hu Tao suddenly felt his whole body lose its fulcrum, but thanks to Archer reaching out in time, he didn't fall to the ground with his knees limp.The familiar body heat was close at hand but filled with a fleeting sense of illusion, which made her feel a sore nose suddenly.
(Too bad, I don't seem to be as ruthless as I imagined... Sure enough, I still can't escape this moment in the end.)
The fulfillment of prayers and the end of the Holy Grail War mean that all the heroes will return to where they should go.This long road of supporting each other and staggering, is now finally reaching the terminus.
"I said, Archer..."
Walnut tried his best to suppress the wet and salty taste of tears in his voice.
At this moment, Lancelot's magnetic and solemn voice followed closely behind the Master:
