[Comprehensive] Self-cultivation of the villain master

This time, Astra didn't sleep very soundly, and he didn't know it was because the servant who had been by his side disappeared, and he was a lot weaker, which made him feel very lonely in a strange place alone. insecure.

I don't know how long it took before he felt tired and drowsy. Finally, he didn't have time to think about the current troubles, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

It's just that this time he had a dream, a sad dream that made him cry.

By the sea, a young man with a similar appearance to Aiolos stood facing the wind. His face was still somewhat childish, but his movements in his hands did not hesitate at all.

The young man held a gorgeous golden long sword in his hand, and the sharp end of the sword... pierced straight into the blue-haired young man's body.

Astra was stunned, the person who raised his head showing pain was none other than him!

Holding the blade of the sword pierced into the body with his fingers, "Astera" snorted and tried to move the sword back, but no matter how he pushed it, the blade did not move at all.

"Give up, even if you are facing such a seal... you will be powerless in the end."

Seeing the scratched blood on the blue-haired young man's finger slipping down the lines on his palm and dripping onto the ground, the brown-haired boy couldn't help but stop and said, "This sword will only seal your power, it won't hurt you, You should know this better than anyone."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Abandoning useless work, the young man laughed wildly.

"You—this time, you are determined to seal me up. Then in the face of the coming Ragnarok, what choice do you have?"

"That's our business."

As if he didn't want to mention this matter more, the palm of the brown-haired boy slightly exuded a golden light, and what complemented it was the gem inlaid on the hilt of the sword.

"In this way, you can also rest."

It just so happened that the sound of the waves sounded in my ear, completely covering up the boy's originally not-so-loud voice, and Astra missed the boy's last words.

It's just that according to the previous words, the last thing said should be a name, but judging from the lips, it's not Astra's name.

So, is it a coincidence?He just dreamed of another... youth with the same name and the same appearance?But what could that mean?

The only thing that can be confirmed is that that young man is not him, at least not the current him.He didn't know if a person's temperament would change drastically if he lost his memory, but he knew very well that this person was very similar to another "he".

The sound of the waves gradually overshadowed all other sounds, and Astra's consciousness was swallowed up accordingly, and she returned to the state of nothingness again.

……

Astra was woken up by Hayato in the prison temple in a daze, and he didn't wake up until he rubbed his eyes and saw the time displayed by the clock on the wall.

"Uh--"

He was stunned at the fact that he had lost his proper sleep. In the past, not to mention snoozing, it was impossible for him to sleep an extra minute. Otherwise, Dr. Roman would not have asked him for good news again and again.

But today, he actually overslept and slept until the afternoon! ?

It turned out that no one saw Astra during breakfast, and Biyangqi planned to go up and wake him up, but Takeshi Yamamoto told him that he had been tossing late yesterday to get the holy relics, so he asked him to sleep more.

In this regard, Hayato Gyoji muttered: "I didn't expect that he really took care of these things."

Originally speaking, Hayato Kikudera still had a lot of dissatisfaction with Astra, not to mention that he always appeared and then disappeared suddenly. He had such a good relationship with Sawada Tsunayoshi, but he was not close to them at all.

The cold tone of the other party yesterday made him fight for the leader of the Judai Project. After all, that person would participate in the Holy Grail War, but he wanted to help Astra. Unexpectedly——

They didn't show up at breakfast, so a few people ignored it. For the basic summoning of the holy relic, Astra had put the relevant materials on the table before and verbally told Takeshi Yamamoto.

Who knew that Astra still didn't get up when it was almost time for dinner? ?

This time, Takeshi Yamamoto was the first to be unable to sit still, and hurried upstairs to look at it, but was pushed away by Hayato Gudera, who directly pulled him up.

On the other hand, Astra's dull expression remained for a long time before she recovered and supported her head and said, "Well——I've been asleep for so long, and you don't come to find me?"

Just as Hayato was about to have an attack, he saw his pale face and hurriedly asked, "What did you do at night? Why did you look so ugly after sleeping for so long?"

Astra lowered her eyes and yawned.

"I had an incomprehensible dream. I was watching the development of things the whole time. My brain didn't stop to think at all. The more I slept, the sleepier I became."

Liao Ping looked at the side for a while, resting his chin in one hand, and asked concerned: "Are you all right, Astra? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"I can't sleep anymore, it would be bad if I missed the ceremony."

Astra is very lucky now that Hayato called him up before night, otherwise he missed the call of the heroic spirit... Forget it, he doesn't think much about this assumption.

Following a few people downstairs, Astra ate a sandwich and a cup of coffee, and began to operate the arrangement of the heroic spirit summoning array.

After making simple preparations, a group of people followed Astra to the vicinity of Hei Yao. Seeing a few people with blank expressions, Astra explained: "This place is empty, suitable for summoning servants."

Putting the belongings on the ground, Astra gave the three people different holy relics and blueprints, asked them to draw the summoning array according to the blueprints, and then put the metal fragments on it.

"Then--?"

"Then, you can call."

The three big-headed ones finished drawing the summoning array, only to realize that Astra hadn't done anything, so they asked, "Why didn't you draw it?"

Astra blinked innocently: "I won't participate in this Holy Grail War."

"But—in that case, wouldn't there be one less person?"

"No, there are already candidates."

After saying this, Astra turned her body sideways, and a man with a bandaged face and a black corset came out from the shadows.

"This fills my vacancy, our seventh master."

"I am Emiya Kiritsugu, please give me your advice."

A Master appeared out of thin air, and Vongola's guardians didn't say anything. Anyway, when Astra said he would not participate, they knew there was no way to change his mind.

"Kiritsugu, you can also draw one like this, as for the holy relic..."

Astra thought for a while, and asked, "The distant Utopia is still here with you?"

"Yes. You mean—?"

Astra smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Let's just summon her. If I have her... I should be able to summon Caster again."

Having experienced a Holy Grail War with Astra, Emiya Kiritsugu could roughly guess what he wanted to do, so he nodded clearly and walked to the side of the other three Masters.

Seeing the unfamiliar Master coming, Takeshi Yamamoto asked Astra: "Is this the so-called magician?"

"Well, almost."

Seeing that the vacancy was filled, Hayato Gakuji glanced at Astra, and hesitantly said, "There are two remaining masters, where are they now?"

Astra shrugged and said, "I don't know too well."

"Hey you--"

"Well, you two calm down."

Astra folded her arms around her chest, and said in a calm tone: "After all, I was not prepared to be brought to Bingsheng by you. The other two were originally expected to meet first and then summon... Judging from the current situation, they They should be summoned individually."

"I don't quite know what the principle is, as long as the summoning is done today?"

"Yes."

After Emiya Kiritsugu drew the last summoning circle and placed the scabbard in it, the four men began the ceremony of summoning servants.

"Declaration—your body listens to my orders, and my life is with your sword. If you are called by the Holy Grail, if you are willing to obey this will and this principle, then respond! I swear here——I wish to accomplish all good deeds in the world, I May all the evil deeds in the world be wiped out, and I am the one who holds its chains. You are the seven heavens wrapped around the three spirits of words, from the wheel of restraint, the guardian of the scales——!"

In the rays of light, the servants who were summoned by virtue of the holy relic also appeared in front of several people one by one.

"Excuse me, are you my Master?"

Just when Saber asked this, she realized something was wrong, opened her eyes slightly, and said with a trace of uncertainty in her tone: "... Emiya Kiritsugu?"

Emiya Kiritsugu said calmly, "Ah... we meet again, King Arthur."

When Artoria saw this man, she felt very complicated. At the beginning, she was tormented by this man, and then because of the appearance of Astra, the Caster, she finally saw Emiya Kiritsugu. The real side of man, and now—wait!That person is Astra! ?

Knowing that she was recognized, Astra put her index finger on her lips and shook her head at the blond girl in the distance.

There are not many examples of a servant retaining the memory of the last time he was summoned, but to Astra's surprise, this servant named Artoria would actually become one of such cases. one.

There is no problem with this pair of master and slave, and Astra looked at the others.

When it comes to things like compatibility, there is no doubt that it is an attribute.Lanshou and flames, Qingshou and the sun, rain and water, it seems that Vongola's flames and magic are two different things, but they are not.In this regard, it can be seen from the fact that Tsunayoshi Sawada and himself can be regarded as followers, the two are very similar.

"Berserker... I didn't expect it to be this one."

Looking at the tall figure in the distance, Emiya Kiritsugu murmured.
