[Comprehensive] Non-flowers are like blades

prelude to war

(One)

The fat gray-white moth waved its triangular wings that were not in proportion to its body size, and hit the transparent glass cover of the street lamp one after another. Under the bright and dark street lights, it looked even more weird.

It was as if the so-called "gods" stared coldly at the scene under the lamp where the heroic spirits were ready to fight due to the conflict of "desires".In fact, the moment they came to Fuyuki City with the Command Spells in their hands, whether it was the so-called noble saving of the world or the resurrection of the dead full of selfish desires, they all chose to sacrifice their long-cherished wishes to fulfill their long-cherished wishes due to their own inability to realize them. The battle of the despicable people of the dream, from the very beginning, the one chosen by the Holy Grail must be the selfish people who have the felony of "greed" in the religious sense.

Once the flames of war are ignited, almost all the rogues will die unhappily, and only one person can survive and have the honor of holding the Holy Grail to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

The sultry air in the evening oozes a little coolness because of this explosive atmosphere.Since they were summoned by r through the Holy Grail as heroic spirits, the blond girl and the black-haired young man, who were guarding each other across the crowd, knew in their hearts that the other party was by no means an ordinary person, so they both took out 12 points of caution while protecting r, While carefully lifting the opponent.

One hand was clenched into a fist, and although she knew in her heart that according to the Holy Grail War regulations, it was impossible for the two sides to fight on this crowded street, but Irisviel was not sure whether the other party would abide by such rules.As an R, she is far inferior to Kiritsugu who can give Saber the greatest force assistance. When facing some magicians who are proficient in combat, it is even difficult for her to protect herself. All she can do is provide Saber with Magic and healing, and only:

"Strength a, durability b, agility a, magic b...saber, the values ​​of this are perfect! Please be careful!"

Standing behind the girl knight, Irisviel whispered quickly what she saw, and then turned her gaze to the dark green long-haired girl in a bohemian dress behind the enemy.Logically speaking, her identity can be basically confirmed by appearing together with her, but...

"Irisviel?" Sensing that the breath of the woman behind her was fluctuating for a moment, the careful Saber asked with some doubts.The silver-haired and red-eyed woman closed her eyes subconsciously, and looked at Sanada Yui again after two or three seconds, but unfortunately, the conclusion she drew did not change at all.

"It's true, not at all... That girl with dark green hair has no magical power at all!"

Finally, I completely confirmed my judgment. As a doll specially made by the Einzbern family for the Holy Grail War, Irisviel believed that her perception of r was definitely far superior to other r, but in that dark green hair On the girl's body, she couldn't feel the slightest wave of magic power—although in the past examples, there were indeed cases where ordinary people were randomly selected to become r in order to make up the number of people, but if it was an ordinary person, how could it be possible to summon all kinds of monsters? Are all the data so brilliant? !

--unless……

Because she herself is also a fake r launched by Emiya Kiritsugu to confuse the enemy, Irisviel immediately thought of this possibility reflexively: unless, this girl is not the black-haired r, the real master is someone else , and like Kiritsugu, chose to wait for an opportunity in the dark.

Thinking of this, the silver-haired and red-eyed woman became even more vigilant, and subconsciously looked around... Impossible, such a powerful——

"Ahhh-!!!"

A sudden, piercing and sudden scream pierced the night sky!

(two)

Almost as soon as he stepped into the room, a thick and damp stench came over his face. The smell of blood was so heavy that it was suspected that more than four people died in this room.

But here, it is true that the family of four originally lived there.It's a pity that now, both adults and children have turned into a pile of corpses of different shapes. Even if experts want to assemble them back, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.The internal organs of the victim's family were all emptied, and they were thrown in a bathtub full of blood like a pile of garbage. The half-coagulated blood showed a gloomy and cold black purple, spreading all over the place. On the floor of the room, on the walls, on the glass...

It was the landlord of this family who discovered all this. An old lady in her 50s came to collect the rent, but when she knocked on the door, the door opened by itself... So there was a scream that attracted countless onlookers.

Judging from the wounds of the deceased, the perpetrator's method of killing was proficient but not professional, but... to be able to clean up all the clues he might have left in such a blood-stained room, his psychological quality is absolutely Gao Gao, or he no longer regards human beings as his own kind, and even regards killing as a matter of enjoyment, without any sense of guilt at all, just like a young child who dropped a doll while playing with a toy The arms and head don't care about it either.

Taking advantage of the time when the police began to drive away the onlookers and block the scene, the dark green long-haired girl habitually paid attention to the interior of the room, then lowered her head and frowned as she looked at the strange and familiar painting on the ground. The texture of blood--

"Princess, are you all right?"

r Some doubts and anxious voices suddenly sounded in the girl's ears, and Yuyi, who was immersed in her own understanding of the case almost by conditioned reflex, was startled, and then came back to her senses—occupational disease is really a terrible thing : She grew up in a police family with the goal of becoming the successor of Grandpa Sanada, and then served as the captain of the gendarmerie in the imperial capital, and then the captain of the [-]th squad of Jinglingting... She almost fell into the trap subconsciously when she encountered a case. meditation.

"...I'm fine, let's go."

Silently watching the fragments that could barely be called corpses being put into body bags by the police and zipped up to seal them, the girl with dark green hair flashed another corpse that was disembowelled and disembowelled for a moment. The corpse with empty internal organs, the pale and empty face of the young female gendarme flashed across my mind like a sudden lightning... Yuyi shook her head violently, and shook the inexplicable memory away, even with it, she didn't even bother to think about it What are some familiar patterns on the ground?

Glancing from a distance, R, who was stretching out his arms to cover the crowd for Irisviel, felt a little pity, but the worry about his master finally prevailed—the dark green long-haired girl's face was pale and ugly Scary, she turned around and squeezed out of the crowd. The gunman hurriedly followed up and stretched out his hand to block the crowd for her.After finally walking out of the crowd, Yuyi seemed to feel something, suddenly turned her head, and fixed her eyes on the treetop not far away.

The bat-form familiar used for deep black surveillance, at this time, only a destroyed wreck remains, and the magic power on the wreck has not completely dissipated. Based on the party's experience, she could easily determine the type of gun used by the visitor from the wound on the familiar's wreckage.

Caliber 06 mm er produced springfield sniper rifle.

"This is the familiar who has been watching us since this afternoon."

r can be seen at a glance, and by r's side, he is monitoring the surrounding movements almost all the time, if Yuyi said to let it go, r would have wiped it out, "It seems that we were killed by other The r is eyeing. My lord, please be careful, and don't act alone."

"Well, you're too nervous... This is just a product of the jealousy of a woman who doesn't like me. I keep it, all I want is to attract other r, and it seems that the harvest is pretty good right now."

In his mind, he quickly simulated the wound on the demon's body, connected with the subtle bullet friction traces on the branches, two points and one line, Yuyi turned his head, and cast his gaze on the empty roof of the building not far away.

In her eyes, Suolawei's monitoring familiar is just a product of women's insignificant jealousy, but in the eyes of other magicians who also participated in this war, all of them are like frightened birds, as long as there is such a thing around, they will be like R generally gets nervous and eliminates him immediately, and may meet others alone, but r with a normal IQ will never appear alone in front of her and the silver-haired woman just now.Eliminate the familiar... She didn't think the silver-haired woman with a sniper rifle like Springfield could handle it, and killing the familiar didn't require a sniper rifle at all.

"It looks like this beautiful silver-haired beauty, besides that one, also has an unknown knight who likes to hide in the dark and aim..."

On the other side, the one who was interrupted by this accident, Irisviel and Saber looked at the Japanese policeman who had arrived late through the chaotic crowd, and the silver-haired and red-eyed woman frowned at the blocked The scene - although Sanada Yuyi and R arrived a beat later, but just looking at the blood-stained body bags without human figures was enough for her to know what happened inside.Different from Yuyi's occupational disease, Irisviel's focus is on another matter. Her crimson eyes quickly scanned the chaotic crowd, followed behind Saber and asked the servants in a low voice: "Saber, Do you feel anyone else around here besides the one just on the street?"

"..." After concentrating on perception for a moment, Saber glanced at the direction Yuyi and r left, and shook her head slightly, "What's wrong, Irisviel, did you find other r?"

"I don't know if it's another r, but the moment I got close to here just now..." Pressing her chest with one hand, the silver-haired, red-eyed beauty closed her eyes, then opened them again, "No, not just just now , although it is very faint, but even now, I can feel... there are traces of magic in the room where the incident happened, Saber!"

"'Traces of magic'..." The blond King of Knights frowned, and then his face sank, "Could it be that the murderer who killed these innocent civilians is also a participant in this Holy Grail War?!"

"To wantonly kill unarmed people for their own selfish desires, such an act... It is really a humiliation for our heroic spirits to compete with such evil people for the Holy Grail——"

"Saber..." Looking worriedly at the servant who was slightly agitated due to anger, Emiya Kiritsugu's words flashed inexplicably in Irisviel's mind for a moment, "If it's r or assassin, maybe it's the same as me The compatibility will be better", stretched out her hand, the woman just wanted to comfort Saber, but heard a burst of pleasant music ringtones coming from her pocket.

"Kiritsugu...!"

When the phone was connected, the woman with silver hair and red pupils was about to say something, but her whole body trembled suddenly—her hands trembled, and she almost couldn't hold the phone. The man on the phone seemed to sense something wrong with his wife, and the voice of questioning was slightly Some hurried: "Ai Li?"

"It's okay...Kiritsugu."

With the support of Saber, Irisviel regained her composure and raised her head. A gentle light that could not tell whether it was melancholy or expectation flashed faintly in her crimson pupils. Good news: "Kiritsugu...I can feel that just now, the seventh person has been summoned."

"—O Kiritsugu, we have been waiting for eight years for the Holy Grail War..."

"Ellie..."

"The moment has finally come... Hey, Kiritsugu—"

Looking up, the woman's ruby-like eyes reflected the watery moonlight. Her gaze was far away, as if through the bright and quiet moon, she saw another world in her dreams-quiet, peaceful, carefree. worry, there will be no more wars and misfortunes... and her most precious people, Emiya Kiritsugu and the lively and lovely Illya, will live forever in that world that is more beautiful than dreams after this war.

——Yes, that is all her ideals.And she was born for this, and she has made up her mind to die for it.

"Hey, Kiritsugu...you will realize my dream, right?"

"...It will definitely come true, our dream, Eri."

[The fourth Holy Grail War begins here. 】

(three)

r After returning to the hotel, the moment he really saw Yui, the heart that he had been carrying when he went to Fuyuki Seika Church just now finally fell back into his stomach steadily.Looking at the dark green long-haired girl who had finished her bath and was lying comfortably on the sofa watching TV in a bathrobe, the gunman was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

——He is probably the first person to be sent as a familiar since the birth of the Holy Grail War... Should I say that his family is wanton and arrogant or young and ignorant?When she asked him if he could take her place in the Holy Church to accept Kotomine Risho's call, R felt a little confused.

The hotel they are in is not a magic fortress like the ancestral house of the Tohsaka family, nor has any magic traps or curses been set up to protect and strengthen their stronghold. Even he is worried about leaving her alone. I don't seem to care about my personal safety at all.

"Don't worry, this hotel will have security patrols even at night. If I encounter something that I can't handle..." The dark green long-haired girl stood in front of the black-haired young man with a smile on her face. He clenched his fist with one hand and gathered it close to his ear to make an oath, and then said something that made r even more speechless: "I will definitely rush to the corridor while yelling molestation!"

"...In short, since the Holy Grail War has already begun, you, the princess, will be in a very dangerous situation as r. Since the princess's subordinates have handed you over to me, I, Diarmuid, the grandson of Audina, swear in the name of a knight, I will definitely use my own life to protect you until death!"

R's words were resounding, and his honey-colored eyes were full of seriousness.The moment the man's voice fell, the dark-green long-haired girl vaguely sensed that his words did not seem to be a simple oath, and the girl who had long been accustomed to fighting alone instead of relying on others to protect her restrained herself uncomfortably. He smiled before, sat upright and coughed lightly: "Then...r, tell me about the matter I asked you to go to the Holy Church, besides what you just said about 'the Holy Grail War has begun', there are other Any other gains?"

"Besides, if you want to talk about information... that is Assasin's Kotomine Kirei, who withdrew from the Holy Grail War because he lost it, and is currently taken in and protected by the Church of the Holy Church."

"So fast?"

Slightly squinting her eyes, the girl turned off the noisy TV, and the whole room became quiet all of a sudden, without the extra background sound.Kotomine Kirei... Since he is Tosaka Tokiomi's apprentice who has only been accepted in recent years, Yui has also investigated his relevant information. The Tohsaka family is one of the "three royal families" who created the Holy Grail War, and Yui has every reason I believe that for Tohsaka Tokiomi, he was definitely preparing for the Holy Grail War from birth; for Mine Kirei, it was different. The extremely strong Tohsaka Tokiomi, he is more like an indecisive seeker. Even if he followed his father's footsteps and joined the Holy Church, Yui did not feel that he had the so-called faith.

Therefore, when Yui learned that he suddenly became Tohsaka Tokiomi's disciple eight years ago, Yui once thought that Tohsaka Tokiomi was preparing for his own Holy Grail War, preparing to train this "agent" to be his own The hunting dog, who knows that now he has become an opponent out of nowhere... She really doesn't know the temper of Tohsaka Tokiomi who has taken good care of Kotomine Kirei for the past eight years.

Thinking of this, the dark-green long-haired girl seemed to suddenly remember something, and finally turned her attention away from Kotomine Kirei who had already been eliminated: "Speaking of which... r, do you know who defeated Assasin?"

"This..." There was a pause in embarrassment, and there was a hint of apology in the voice of the gunman, "I'm sorry, princess, I didn't collect too much information because I was very worried about your safety. But on the way back, it seemed that I heard There was a police siren near Tohsaka’s house, and it seemed that someone around heard the screams and loud movements, and they called the police because they thought something happened. Personally, I thought it might be from Tohsaka’s house.”

"No need to apologize, I didn't even know that my willfulness brought you such a heavy burden." Having said that, Yui did not promise not to be separated from the knight again, "Is it from the Tohsaka family... if conditions permit , I believe that Tosaka Tokiomi's character will definitely summon the most perfect heroic spirit..."

——Slightly, I am somewhat looking forward to it. Which hero in history will the "strongest heroic spirit" chosen by the Tohsaka family be?
