[Comprehensive] Self-cultivation of the villain master

Ever since Astra can remember, he only remembers that he was picked up by Tsunayoshi Sawada and got along with him for a long time. After those guardians frequently tested him and Reborn assessed him in all aspects, he finally Able to know some things that only Vongola's insiders can know.

The Cerbero Institute, is a place of no provenance.

It's like the existence that smashed all the cause and effect in the world. No one knows where they come from, and no one finds out their true purpose. They predict the future and know the winners, but they will always stand on the side of the doomed losers. party.What they did was to subvert the cause and effect.

When I went to the Clock Tower for the first time and met El-Melloi II for the first time, Astra somehow felt that the other party gave him a good feeling. In fact, getting along with him was very smooth and natural.

For Astra, who was used to being alone, El-Melloi II was one of the few people who could talk to him in the Clock Tower, a place full of magicians.

Doubts are doubts, but Astra did not pursue the source of this unnatural feeling, what should be done in daily life or what to do, and did not hesitate at all because of this matter.

And now, through El-Melloi II's words, he finally understands what happened to the inexplicable sense of familiarity before.

Thinking of this, Astra raised her legs and sneered.

"So that's how it turned out, the kid back then... turned out to be like you when he grew up. In this way, the surname of Kenneth, who died before I was summoned, seems to be El-Melloi. "

Hearing that Astra did not evade this topic at all, Weber back then and now El-Melloi II were very surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you deny it?"

"There is nothing to deny this kind of thing, but whether it is a cause or an effect first, it is really hard to say when I have encountered this kind of thing in person, El-Melloi II."

It has to be said that Astra's words hit the Achilles heel of El-Melloi II.

After hearing this, El-Melloi II couldn't help chuckling and said, "Indeed. Was Astra the first to know Weber, or was it the first El-Melloi II to meet Astra... because It’s so natural that it’s hard to tell the difference.”

Regarding this, Astra said indifferently: "There is nothing to worry about, is there? Things have evolved to this point, cause and effect are no longer important, the important thing is-"

Astra said, leaning forward a little.

"What do you want the Holy Grail for?"

"If I want to completely end Fuyuki's Holy Grail War, it is necessary to dismember the Great Holy Grail. Even if the supervisor always insisted that the Great Holy Grail was taken away by the servants, no one in the Clock Tower would believe this for so many years. . . . it’s just about everything.”

Magicians are crazy, and Astra already knew this was true, which is why he could not accept the existence of the Clock Tower. As a very rational person, he originally came to the Clock Tower to accumulate experience as a magician. He couldn't stay any longer, so he simply rejected all kinds of promotions and left there directly.

Hearing what El-Melloi II said now, he feels more and more that the decision back then was correct.

"I know that these guys are very obsessed with the third method, but it's just to this extent...it's really incredible."

Astra doesn't understand what kind of attachment it is that can make a human being give up his family and life for illusory things.

However, he didn't really want to know.

During the days of repairing the singularity with Fujimaru Tachika and Mash, Astra has somewhat changed. The original boring life, in addition to protecting Sawada Tsunayoshi, has a little more fun .However, even so, he still doesn't have the awareness to give everything to protect something...he still doesn't have it.

After all, even in this world he is in, he has no sense of reality, let alone other time and space?

"You will ask me about the Great Holy Grail in person today, does it mean that Emiya Kiritsugu and the others are no longer in this world?"

The reason why servants are hard to find is that as long as they become spirit sons, no one will know where they are, but the master is not like this at all. They are human beings who really live in this world, and they will not hide like servants. There is no way to find it, and no matter what you do, it will show your feet.

El-Melloi II was slightly taken aback, then shook his head.

"No, it's unknown. Since the Great Holy Grail disappeared, they also disappeared from Fuyuki. I don't know if there was an accident or they were killed by others."

"If I remember correctly, Yanfeng Qili is still alive, why don't you... ask him?"

Hearing this, El-Melloi II looked solemn.

"That man is very dangerous, that's why someone gave him a hint to make him forget about Fuyuki. Although the person who used that magic is very strong, Kotomine Chirei is not an easy-going lamp, we have to think about it before him Before everything... find the Great Holy Grail, or your Master."

Astra vaguely felt as if he had found a breakthrough, something was about to come out in his mind, and just when he wanted to grab it, there was nothing in his mind again.

Pressing her temples hard, Astra showed a painful expression.

"Astra...what's the matter with you?"

After all, the two have known each other for a while, not very long, and they can basically understand each other's situation.As far as he knew, Astra could be said to be the same monster as Kotomine Chirei, proficient in melee combat and magic, and he couldn't see any physical discomfort in him at all.

Astra raised her hand and stopped El-Melloi II from coming over.

"It may be that the soul has just returned to this body not long ago. I have recuperated for several days before, but I didn't expect—"

Of course, it is impossible for him to tell the real situation to the young man in front of him, because he himself does not know how to explain the situation of another existence in his body.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that there is something he wants to know in the memory of the other party.

"Astera, it's inappropriate for me to say this. But——you are a human being now, not the Caster you were in Fuyuki back then. Your physical strength and energy are limited, so you shouldn't be as chaotic as you were when you were a servant. Come."

Um, is he messy?

Recalling Matthew, who was scared by him in Chaldea, who turned pale, and Romani Akiman, who looked disapproving, maybe... he was a little messed up?

"I know this better than you, Weber."

The name came out of the mouth of the blue-haired boy, and El-Melloi II froze all of a sudden.

"To be honest, according to my connections in Vengley, I can indeed send other people to persuade you, but it is meaningless. Because they don't know your past, even if they know that you have participated in the Holy Grail War, there are some things that only Only those who participated in that war can understand."

Having said that, Astra paused for a moment, and considered her tone.

"In the beginning, I didn't know that this world is the future of Fuyuki. I learned that you participated in the Fuyuki War. I wanted to use my personal experience to convey something to you. Now... everything is easy to say."

"Also, let me tell you the truth about the Great Holy Grail. In fact..."

Astra's words were undoubtedly a shock to El-Melloi II.

He stood up abruptly from the sofa, and said in an unbelievable tone: "You can't use the Great Holy Grail?"

"Yes. Since I woke up, I have called the Great Holy Grail again and again, but it just refused to respond to me. I don't know if there are other heroic spirits named Astra on the Throne of Heroes. The Great Holy Grail may have responded It's... Caster as a Servant, not a human Astra."

"Hmm... It's not impossible. A group of people won the Holy Grail War, and from Einzbern's point of view, they should have wished to disappear, and you, as a follower Your wish has not been used, so it means that the only one who can use the Great Holy Grail is you, a follower."

"Then the question is, I can't give you the Holy Grail, will you still participate in this Holy Grail War?"

This time, the young man said without any hesitation: "I will participate in this Holy Grail War, to help you, and..."

The feeling of wanting to see that person again was so strong at this moment.

The boy back then was underestimated because of his dissatisfaction, so he naively snatched his teacher's holy relic, and appeared in the city of the Holy Grail War as the seventh follower.

And in getting along with that king, after going through battles again and again, he realized... how small and insignificant his wish was in those magnificent struggles.

Even so, he never regretted his choice back then.

Over the years, the people and things of the year have changed, and his mentality has also changed. No matter whether the impassioned spirit is still there, the original intention remains the same.

The words of El-Melloi II did not go on, and Astra could understand his thoughts. Both he and he participated in and survived. They knew the cruelty and helplessness of that war, and naturally understood that the followers For the master, it is not just a weapon for fighting.

Life and death are shared, this is the best interpretation of the servant and the master.
