[Comprehensive] Non-flowers are like blades

League of Lancers

(One)

The early morning in Fuyuki is similar to the coldness and tranquility of England on the other side of the world. However, for some reason, since arriving in this strange city, Weber, who used to have to ring the alarm clock three times before getting up, started to get up faster than before. The clock tower is even earlier.

Probably because of the Holy Grail War, I don't know if it's nervousness or excitement... Sitting in a daze on the small bed in the attic, the sleepiness in Wei Bo's hazy pupils was still there, and inexplicably flashed through his mind about the events of last night. Thrilling battle scenes - the heroic Saber, the unfathomable Berserker, the cruel and bloodthirsty R, the handsome and warlike R, the rebellious Archer, and...

Sighing heavily, Weber finally set his sights on the ground beside the bed: he was clearly a guy laying on the floor among a pile of books and CDs, but the burly rider seemed to be sleeping on some kind of incomparably wide soft pillow. Seemingly, sprawling, snoring contentedly... Not to mention taking up two-thirds of the room, it also forced Weber to feel that the roof was too low.

——This idiot... Maybe he woke up early just because this guy was snoring too loudly?Thinking of this, the boy R sighed heavily again, and slowly got up from the bed.

The breakfast was ready and placed on the table, and there was a white note next to it explaining the whereabouts of the old couple. Wei Bo didn't care much about it. He picked it up and glanced at it casually, only paying attention to the time when the two returned. Just put it down.Milk, bread and eggs, the warm sunshine outside the window, the gently stirring cicadas, the slightly cold morning mist... If it weren't for the crimson Command Spell printed on the back of his hand, which can be seen clearly when he lowers his head, Wei Bo would almost have lost his mind. I suspect that the grand battle where the heroic spirits gathered last night was just a ridiculous dream.After careful calculation, except for Assassin who died in the hands of Archer, all the contenders for this Holy Grail War have appeared... And among those heroic spirits from different eras with their own legends, there must be one who will come here At the final point of this war, hold the cup of heaven that symbolizes the supreme glory——

"Oh, is this the country's egg? Very good!"

Along with the feeling of the floor shaking, a rough and unruly low male voice suddenly interrupted the boy's thoughts. Before Weber could react, there was already one less fried egg on the plate.Wearing a British college uniform, Weber jumped up reflexively, looked around in a hurry, and realized that the old couple had gone out after two seconds. However, this was not enough to suppress the boy's anger: "rider ——! Didn’t I tell you not to walk around casually?! What if someone sees you?!”

"What's the matter?" Sitting on the chair opposite Weber, the rider leaned back casually with a face full of disapproval, and the wooden chair suddenly made a "creaking" sound, "Anyway, the owner of this house is not here, you Usually I don't let me leave that room, just watching those TV and books is really overwhelming!"

"What's more, I'm not a shameful existence!"

Putting the fork in his hand back on the plate with a clang, the burly red-haired rider puffed up his chest and showed Weber the T-shirt he bought online. On the chest was a crimson world map, trying to convince his little r: "And look, last night, didn't Saber and r also wear the clothes of your era, walking on the street openly?"

"It's good for saber! It's good for r! At least they're all wearing pants!!!" He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at the table. If it wasn't for the huge difference in physique between himself and rider, Weber would even rush to the other side of the table and press the other's head to eat Panli—Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about by a boy who is only one-third the size of the other party.

"Ah! Leg wraps? It's really troublesome to say, everyone here wears that kind of thing... Do you have to wear it?"

"Absolutely! Definitely! Must! Must! Wear!!" Already completely forgetting his original purpose of hiding the rider, Weber was so mad that he almost jumped on the table, he didn't want to go out on the street with a man without pants Woolen cloth!

"Besides, let me tell you what I said before! Before you defeat an enemy, I will never go to the street to buy extra-large pants for you!" Angrily pointing at the t-shirt on the rider's chest, which was so bulging that it was about to burst Weber snorted heavily, seeing the rider's instantly lost expression, he lifted his chin triumphantly as if he had caught some deadly trick in his family.

"I see! The head of the enemy..." With a deep face, being able to walk on the street like Saber and R is obviously a huge temptation for the rider. The burly King of Macedonia quickly recalled with arms folded I looked at a few people from last night, "Well! Speaking of r, Archer... Even Berserker who lost his mind is an opponent that makes people excited!"

"Don't forget that there is r!" Pointing the fork in his hand, the boy Weber on the opposite side of the rider added, "Manipulating so many monsters for such a long time, the magic power has not diminished at all... Moreover, he is not in his own In the Magic Workshop!"

"R..." Different from Weber's thinking of a magician, Rider, as a warrior who charged into the battle, just raised his eyebrows disapprovingly at r, "Well! If I have to say it, I care more about r's r in comparison. What - that little girl doesn't look like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl at all! Kid, are you sure she is the one you know?"

"Then, of course!" The boy who was questioned by the rider clenched his fists angrily, "The birthmark on that guy's face is so obvious and special, if you see it once, you won't forget it, right?!"

What's more... At that time, because he was ridiculed by Archibald's teacher, he rushed out of the door in a fit of anger. When passing through the rows of seats, he didn't know who tripped over the steps with a deliberately protruding foot , as soon as he raised his head, he met those blue eyes that couldn't see to the bottom.Although it was just a slight glance, at that time, the eldest lady of the Spencer family must have been mocking him in his heart for trying to challenge the entire clock tower...

Shaking his head vigorously, Weber shook off the memory that deeply hurt him in his mind: so what if it was ridicule?So what if there is no long family history?Even though he has not yet won the Holy Grail, look—hasn't he already replaced the mentor Kenneth Archibald who was originally scheduled to participate in the Holy Grail War? !That's right... The Holy Grail chose him instead of Archibald, that is to say, as a magician, he must be a better existence than that man!This is the judgment of the Holy Grail! !

The fingers holding the milk quilt tightened unconsciously. While Weber was persuading himself silently like this, he thought of the man who was hailed as a "genius" by the clock tower standing on the podium and throwing his thesis dismissively. A huge sense of revenge arises spontaneously from the bottom of my heart - being kicked out of such a feast of oriental magic that could have become famous by a student who I despise, I am afraid that the man's mighty face will reveal the name "Desperate" angry expression, right?But no matter how angry he is, the entire world of magicians will also know: he, Kenneth Elmeloy Archibald, was replaced by a student with only three generations of magic blood in his family!And at that time, when his name, Weber Velvet, resounded in the world of magicians, no one dared to throw his painstaking thesis on the ground like rubbish, and laughed at it wantonly!

——As soon as I think of this, even the fear of seeing the heroic spirits who traveled through time and space fighting each other last night seems to have subsided for the most part! !

So... he wants to win!He must win this Holy Grail War that Archibald's mentor is not even qualified to participate in!That's right, since there is such a strong rider, as long as he makes good use of it...

With a "snap", just when the boy Weber was still immersed in his dream of winning the Holy Grail and returning to the Clock Tower, Rider, who had not been able to respond for a long time, raised his rough hand without hesitation, and flicked it hard. Hit Weber on the forehead!The boy in the English-style sweater school uniform let out a cry of pain, and squatted down suddenly covering his red and swollen forehead. Half a second later, he realized something, and jumped up again: "Idiot——! Play it again!" Human forehead, what are you thinking?!"

"'What are you thinking'... that should be my question, right?"

I have long been accustomed to Wei Bo's character of blowing hair at every turn, and the king with a heart in the world will naturally not care about the young boy's verbal offense, "Since the beginning, I have been silent and refused to answer my words. Could it be that I have thought of some countermeasures? "

"Yes, countermeasures?" Dazed by the rider's question, Weber, who was still asking questions for a few seconds, suddenly lost his momentum, "Well, that's not the case! But, it's just because of you guy The r that mentioned r reminded me a little bit of the past."

"What happened before?"

"Yeah!" Thinking of the unabashed appreciation on Rider's face when he talked about R, Wei Bo's heart was slightly sour, he lowered his head, and said awkwardly: "Hey... Rider?"

"What?" The red-haired man who was chewing a fried egg responded casually.

"...Compared with an r like me, do you look forward to a companion like r's r?" Meeting rider's suspicious gaze, Wei Bo's originally small voice suddenly suppressed, "because , Because I think, with a character like you who doesn't even want to hide your name, you must very much hope that your companion is someone who can fight side by side with you and gallop across the battlefield, right?"

——Just like how r can judge the level, since he also has such a self-awareness, of course he will pick on r's ability.

"Hmm... well." Putting down the silver knife and fork, rider lowered his head, touched his chin and pondered for a moment, "Let's put it this way, judging from the current situation, if we insist on forming an alliance with a group, I prefer r and his r."

"Keep, form an alliance?"

"Yeah! Apart from the reason you said before, more importantly, I can feel that although that guy looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, he is just like Archer in his heart, a tough and proud person who doesn't bother to break his promise." People. If you form an alliance with Group R, little guy, it will be a good thing for you!" After some analysis, rider raised his head, looked at the silly young Weber and frowned, "What's wrong, kid? You didn't ask me What kind of companion do you like?"

Watched by the big man's suspicious but sincere eyes, the young man who had always had a little unnaturalness and low self-esteem in his heart became even more embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to move his hands and feet—just at this time, the doorbell in the corridor suddenly rang , Weber suddenly found the reason, pushed away the chair and rushed towards the door in a somewhat stumbling manner.

"I, I'm going to open the door!"

...Leaving rider sitting alone at the table holding a fork, scratching his hair in some doubts: "Zhen... did you say something strange?"

On the other side, in the long corridor, Weber lowered his head and sighed in a somewhat complicated way: Rider's sentence "If you form an alliance with Group R, little guy, it's a good thing for you" flashed in the boy's mind again But then it was the appearance of the girl looking up in embarrassment in the lecture hall and then looking away after a short glance... Although I knew that Rider was thinking about him, a weak r, but sure enough, the past related to the clock tower was in the place where he really won. Before the Holy Grail War, it would be better to choose one with respect...

"Excuse me! Excuse me...is the King of Conquerors, Mr. Iskandar at home?"

Standing on tiptoe slightly, Weber looked out through the peephole, and saw a courier boy wearing a red peaked cap holding a brown packing box. Read the contents on the box - from the boy's point of view, only the brim of the peaked cap and the arm on the doorbell can be seen.

"Really! That guy from the rider, did you buy something weird online again?" Some complained and untied the door chain, and Weber looked at the unexpectedly thin courier in front of him, thinking to himself, "Look at the rider That guy just thought of me, so I won’t talk about him this time”——unexpectedly, the moment the boy signed and took the express box, the express boy who was still respectful a moment ago suddenly stretched his foot It resisted the door that Weber was about to close.

"...?" After pulling the door hard several times but it still didn't move, the boy Weber finally realized something was wrong.He raised his head angrily, the boy was about to criticize the courier, but was choked on the spot by the smile of the girl who suddenly caught his eyes——

"What's wrong with closing the door in such a hurry?"

The red peaked cap had been taken off at some point, and the dark green long hair originally hidden in the cap was scattered on the shoulders. On the girl's clean and beautiful cheeks, it was the pair that still flashed in the boy's mind a few minutes ago. The blue eyes that had passed and could not see the bottom - not giving Wei Bo a chance to close the door, Yui stretched out his hand and held the door forcefully, forcing the boy to let go subconsciously and take two steps back.

"Since the door is open, please answer my question seriously, my lovely little boy... Mr. Conqueror Iskandar, are you, home?"

(two)

The dark and narrow corridors, with dark red rusty old brass handles, are completely different from the high-end hotel Yuyi stayed in. This is a rather cheap and old-fashioned old-fashioned hotel.Before knocking on the door, Kenneth didn't even want to take off the white gloves on his hands, but after knocking, he saw a dark gray dust.

The person who came to answer the door was not Emiya Kiritsugu, but his assistant.Hisu Maiya... Frowning slightly, Kenneth looked at the taciturn woman in front of him. Unlike Suola Wei, a lady from a magician family with a strong aristocratic atmosphere, the woman in front of her is indeed a person with mercenary experience. His demeanor was full of vigilance and vigilance. After confirming his identity, he did not open the door immediately. Instead, he habitually looked around the corridor, and then carefully unlocked the safety chain on the door of the room; On the other side, the man in a dark black windbreaker who almost blended into the darkness of the room silently stubbed out his cigarette and turned around.

"I thought you wouldn't come, Mr. Kenneth Elmeloy Archibald."

"Indeed, your means are very disdainful, but since you are dealing with r's r, it doesn't matter what the means are." Lifting his chin slightly, Kenneth's eyes fell on the somewhat dark corner in front of the curtain, bright The red cigarette butt was quickly extinguished in the ashtray, and a strong smell of smoke remained in the air, "—as long as you keep your promise and sign the contract of compulsory certification, then I will naturally follow the agreement in r I sincerely cooperated with you before my r died."

The slightly rough parchment was unfolded, and Emiya Kiritsugu raised his hand to take it. The content of the contract was not long, but the man read it several times. This is a two-way compulsory contract, just like the man in front of him. The same, rigorous and thorough without any flaws.

"All promises and transactions will be terminated immediately when r's r dies, so do I, and so do you."

Putting his hands behind his back, Kenneth arrogantly elongated his voice, Hisu Maiya frowned slightly with that smooth tone, "Eimiya Kiritsugu, as long as you sign your name, I promise you that in the next action At your disposal—of course, this is based on the principle of ensuring that my fiancée will not be hurt."

"..." The lightning-like astonishing speed of the dark green long-haired girl and the inadvertent fierceness in her actions flashed through my mind, and a dark light flickered in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, " Even if your own life may not be able to be preserved?"

"It's just that when dealing with r's r, I will protect my own life." As if thinking of something extremely humiliating, the expression on Kenneth's face twisted for a moment, but the man quickly suppressed it After suppressing this emotion, he took a deep breath and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Emiya Kiritsugu, you are not even willing to show such sincerity to form an alliance with the Patriarch of my Archibald family!"

"You're worrying too much." Reaching out to take the pen handed over by Maiya, Emiya Kiritsugu smiled slightly, spread the unfolded parchment on the table beside him which was piled up with maps, and then slowly raised the tip of the pen... …

(three)

"...So, so, say, ah!"

He put the instant coffee brewed in his hand heavily on the tea table between Yui and rider, and Wei Bo put his waist down and turned to the girl with dark green long hair, "Since you said you are here to form an alliance, then take it out and treat it." The attitude of an ally! 'I like coffee with milk and two sugar cubes' or something - what am I? A housekeeper?!"

"Then r, you dare to come to my rider without bringing it with you, you bastard, do you have so much confidence in me who was rejected by you just yesterday?"

The deep and thick voice of the red-haired man rang out in the living room, completely ignoring Weber who was desperately accusing as the background sound, and the rider looked up and down the dark green long-haired girl opposite him lazily drinking coffee with his contemplative gaze. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, "You are so sure that I will agree to form an alliance with you?"

It's instant coffee... After staying in Italy for a long time, the country where enjoyment is paramount, even Yui, who was once starved of food in the underground shopping mall and Ruukon Street, felt his tongue pick up, and he noticed instant and freshly ground coffee after just a sip difference.As a mafia leader who killed his predecessor and then sat on the throne of the Mirufiore family, Yui naturally put too much trust on the rider who met once, "It's not because of your character, what I trust It’s just my own ability”——Yuyi is sober, but such a topic that is easy to freeze the atmosphere of the negotiation, naturally, Yuyi will not be too nervous to say it, and after considering the words, the girl cleverly chose to state another reason.

"If I brought r with me, I'm afraid that Mr. Rider would have noticed it before I got to the door?" Youyi shook the coffee in his hand with milk and coffee that wasn't evenly mixed, and said with a smile: "It's good to be a classmate, I don't think there's any need to cause unnecessary tension to Mr. Velvet."

"..." But, but he is also very nervous now...!

Silently sitting next to the rider, young Weber, as long as he thinks that Yui Sanada almost killed Emiya Kiritsugu who was holding a heavy weapon on the rooftop, and then thinks about the pair of swords that can resist Saber's attack more than ten minutes ago. The hand was so close to his neck... He couldn't calm down at all! ! !

Who the hell told him that Gloria Spencer was a tuberculosis who was going to die sooner or later? !Also, why does the rider think that such a dangerous woman is actually the best ally? ! ! ! ...

His brain quickly fell into chaos. If he didn't want to maintain a basic demeanor in front of the enemy, Weber almost wanted to lie on the table and scratch his head desperately. He couldn't listen to a single word of the conversation between the rider and the dark green long-haired girl. , except for a few words: provisional, agreement, condition... Archipelod...

"--Eh?"

As if suddenly awakened by this familiar surname, Weber's mind instantly came to his senses, and he raised his head silly, "...what did you just say, 'Archipolod'...is the one I understand' Archipelod'?"

"Of course." With the stunned and terrified expression on his face so bluntly, even if he didn't ask, Sanada Yui guessed that the other party didn't listen to half a word of the temporary agreement between himself and rider, but it doesn't matter, as long as rider nods and thinks To get the things in her conditions, with her ability, there is no need to worry at all.And right now, compared to asking for conditions, the cost of her sincerity is more than enough——

"I also just got the information this morning: Kenneth Elmeloy Archibald brought his beautiful fiancée to Japan without giving up, and just formed an alliance with Saber's r."

Noticing that Weber's fingers on the dark green school uniform trousers tightened suddenly, his whole face turned pale immediately, Yuyi put away his joking thoughts, and comforted the boy, "But don't worry...for now, the The guy’s biggest target on this trip should be me, which is one of the reasons why I came to talk to the two about forming an alliance.”

"Why?! In fact, I, I..." I didn't know how to say that I stole the teacher's holy relic in front of a heroic spirit like Rider, who even wanted to be fair and honest in the Holy Grail War. In the next second, the girl who was holding a coffee cup on the opposite side said something even more exciting:

"After all, if I hadn't hijacked Mr. Archibald and his fiancée and snatched his spare holy relic, the person who is taking r to participate in the Holy Grail War now... should be those two."
