[Comprehensive] Non-flowers are like blades

ask you after drinking

(One)

The moonlight is like practice, and it seems to sprinkle the entire courtyard like a clear spring. The pruned flowers cut the courtyard into four parts, as if leading to forks in four different directions. Four heroic spirits from different countries and different eras are facing each other. Sitting, behind them, stood r people with scores from different camps and different expressions—except for the archer who came alone.

Standing far behind Saber, the red-eyed woman with beautiful silver hair that almost merged with the moonlight turned her gaze back and forth between the dark green long-haired girl and Weber, and frowned when she met Weber's gaze. Frowning, he glared at the boy without flinching, and the British boy, who was still wearing college uniform, shrank back in Yui's direction in shock.The reliance on r inadvertently revealed in the boy's actions made Alice Viel's heart sink slightly when she faintly guessed that rider and group r were allied: Kiritsugu and Maiya who noticed that r was not here when Saber fought r earlier The young lady decided to go to the town to look for Yu Sheng who was alone, but now... although rider and r don't seem like people who will break their promises, but...

After enduring and enduring, Irisviel finally turned her wandering eyes hesitantly to the dark green long-haired girl who was sitting lazily on the floor tiles and was watching with great interest at the rider smashing the lid of the wine barrel.Kiritsugu's bold inference made earlier in combination with Kenneth being trapped, and the piercingly cold eyes of the girl when she almost killed Kiritsugu that day flashed alternately through the girl's mind, and Irisviel subconsciously called With a shudder: ...Maybe, for Kiritsugu, it would be a better situation not to be here at this moment...

The long wooden spoon was raised from the dark red wine, and the rich aroma of the aged red wine diffused in the air.Different from Rider and Saber, Archer in gold armor took the wooden spoon with some distaste and lowered his head to sniff it lightly. After taking a sip, he raised a displeased expression: "Stop joking, bastard!"

"Invite me, who is unique in the sky and the world, to come all the way from thousands of miles to participate in this banquet full of commoners and bastards, and even the drinks are so inferior! How dare you say that it is a feast for heroes, how ridiculous!"

While throwing away the wine spoon with disgust on his face, Archer's wild words were as unscrupulous as ever.The blond-haired and silver-armored British girl frowned and sighed softly when she heard the phrase "I am the only king in the sky and the world", while the good-tempered rider scratched his head helplessly: "Really? ? Hmm... This is the best wine I have picked from the nearby market, although it is not a top-notch wine, it is still a good wine!"

"Hmph, it's just bad wine that's about the same level as yours, bastards really only have the taste of bastards—"

"It seems that you are a little ignorant when you say it like this. The jewels and gems are shining brightly in front of you, but you can only see the eyes of the fish. It is you, Archer."

It wasn't because of anyone, but it was the dark green long-haired girl sitting behind Heroic R with a smile who interrupted the arrogant and willful king's words.Holding her chin with one hand, Yui completely ignored Archer's unhappiness and coercion when her speech was interrupted, she raised her other hand and raised three fingers: "Three."

"As far as I know, in this courtyard, there are at least three heroes who have been praised by the world and given the title of 'King' since ancient times."

"Oh?" Successfully attracted all the attention by the content of Youyi's words, the golden heroic spirit slowly put away the dissatisfaction that had just been interrupted, and the ruby-like eye pupils turned to r as a matter of course, even the rider on one side He and Saber also cast their curious eyes on the black-haired and handsome hero of the gun: there are only two heroes present who do not claim to be kings. Compared with the petite and cute Saber, the tall and handsome R is obviously more in line with Archer and Rider's ideals for kings guess.

As for Saber, the blond girl who was sitting upright had a look of surprise on her face at this time: it was just an impromptu feast, did she even gather four famous heroic kings in history?

"...If I hadn't been blind, I would have admitted my mistake to the mythical King Arthur who led the Knights of the Round Table to unify the British Isles."

Yui's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder when it stopped in Irisviel's and Saber's ears!Being called out her real name so bluntly and abruptly, the petite girl with blond hair and blue eyes froze for a moment, while Irisviel, standing behind Saber, subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, completely shocked by this unexpected development. Almost speechless.

"Cheating... How, how is it possible..."

The world view was severely overturned by the truth that completely impacted the common sense of history, and Weber stuttered a little; and r was obviously shocked by this kind of thing, although he was very confident in his own r's intelligence and sensitivity, how could he say that King Arthur was There are also big men with wives and children in history... He couldn't question Yui, so he could only slowly read the full name of the Knight King to Saber in an unbelievable tone: "...Arthur Pendragon?"

"Huh? This is really unexpected! Although history is a little girl who can be dressed up by others, but... the famous 'Knight King' is actually such a little girl?! Hahaha! Very good, I really look forward to it more and more What a surprise this Holy Grail War has brought me!"

I don't know whether it was due to his absolute trust in Youyi's judgment, or simply because he was too nervous, the rider accepted the fact immediately, and even took a swig of red wine for it: "There are eyes but no pearls! You are right! I'm really sorry, Saber, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

"Never mind, King of Conquerors."

After being called out by her real name, Saber quickly revealed the demeanor of a king of a country after a brief shock, and confessed her identity without hesitation, the girl turned to Yuyi and said: "So that's... I was careless. But r's r, now that I know about the ability of your sword, is that also your magic dress?"

During the instant confrontation before, it is impossible for someone as keen as Saber to not have noticed that the Wind King Barrier was broken for a moment where the golden sword collided with Changguang... But such a small crack, and for r As far as R is concerned, it's fine if she didn't think about running away at that time, but she didn't panic and even guessed her identity...

"Just relying on such a gleam of golden light, can you determine my identity? This is too much to push r's r."

"..." In the empty courtyard, Saber's question swept Yuyi's ear with the cool night wind, and the girl's dark green hair fluttered with the wind, brushing against her slightly raised lip line.Gently closing her eyes, Yuyi asked without answering, "So did I guess wrong, Saber?"

"Do not."

Hiding one's real name is one thing, but if the opponent guesses the identity and then denies it, it is deceitful. This is by no means something that Saber's chivalry can tolerate.

"My name is Arturia Pendoragon, the son of King Uther of Britain, your judgment is absolutely correct."

The blond girl was wearing a beautiful silver armor, and her blue eyes, firm and clear like the sky, were firmly locked on the dark green long-haired girl who had just revealed her identity in just a moment of confrontation, "The only thing I don't know is, Why would a person of your status make judgments so easily."

"Easy?" Raising her eyebrows slightly, Yui did not answer the other party's doubts—maybe in the eyes of outsiders, her guess was just based on a momentary intuition, but in fact the person who really made the judgment was not Yui herself , but... long light.

It's a pity that no matter how Saber guessed, she would never have thought that the sword in Sanada Yui's hand would actually have the ability to communicate with its master.Perhaps other types of weapons, Daprajna Changguang, cannot be recognized at a glance, but for the golden sword, which is also a famous sword among famous swords, Changguang can recognize the opponent's name as long as it confronts for a moment.

——"A person with your status"...?

Unlike Yuyi, Archer was interested in the questions that Saber had reserved, and the golden heroic spirit swept his beautiful eyes like ruby ​​back and forth between the two girl swordsmen with great interest.But it is a pity that Saber has no intention of continuing: Yuyi revealed her identity by Yuyi, and for Saber, it is obviously against chivalry to casually reveal the identity of a girl in front of others; She admired the master swordsman, and looked forward to a real sword fight with the opponent rather than the saber.

(two)

Saber is so kingly-minded, it makes Yui who publicly revealed Saber's real name in public because she wants to avenge Emiya Kiritsugu's vengeance with a gun, a little bit stunned.The enemy suddenly changed from Emiya Kiritsugu, an unscrupulous guy, to a beautiful and graceful Saber, which made the girl who was already prepared to expose her identity suddenly feel a little at a loss.

However, perhaps it was the king with such a broad mind that was able to recruit all the Knights of the Round Table and unify Britain.

The size of a king has never been related to age and gender... Shouldn't she have known this a long time ago?

A face that was very similar to himself as if in a mirror flashed through my mind very quickly. The gentle girl who always wore the costume of the chief of the Kirionello family narrowed her eyes, turned her head sideways to her and showed a smile with a smile on her face. A childish and clean smile... Yuyi's fingers tightened suddenly.

The brand-new golden wine set fell into the man's palm from the vortex of the space of the archer treasure. Because of the sign of the appearance of the treasure, both Irisviel and Weber took a step back subconsciously: the unstoppable force of the archer when he beheaded assassin The momentum is obviously not something they can resist as r. Seeing this, Archer sneered slightly, and only cast his eyes on the only fearless Yuyi, and smiled loudly.

"R over there, do you want to taste the real king's wine? Seeing how similar you are to my old friend, this king has given you this opportunity."

The golden heroic spirit said so, and at the same time, the same void space vortex as before suddenly appeared above the girl's side. R's face was slightly worried for a moment, but Yuyi stretched out his hand to catch it without the slightest hesitation. A wine glass inlaid with huge and gorgeous gemstones: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

The colorless and clear wine poured out from the heavy golden wine vessel, and the aroma that seemed to condense the fragrance of hundreds of flowers and fruits instantly filled the empty courtyard.Reflecting the silver light falling down from the sky, she looked calm and beautiful. The girl drank up the cup of moonlight as soon as she raised her head, and a trace of surprise flashed in her dark blue eyes like the night sky: she wandered around in various places. In the world, Shishu Kusanagi secretly drank the good wine hidden by the Red King, and was rewarded with the most mellow treasures by the most noble royal family in the imperial capital for her military achievements. She had patronized the wine cellars of Sifengyuan and Kuchiki's house. The Fiore family is rich in the world, and it has gathered all kinds of out-of-print wines in the world today... However, this cup just now is clear and mellow, strong and refreshing, and the strong aroma does not fade even when the wine enters the throat. Just one sip is enough to make her feel a little erratic. If there is anything comparable to it, then there is probably only Yuko's once-a-year Hundred Ghosts Wine.

It can only be said that this is really not a fine wine that ordinary humans can enjoy—probably it is really the so-called, the wine of the gods.

Rider, who finally recovered from this fine wine, did not hesitate to praise him. The original "not bad" wine was suddenly overshadowed like a star that had been robbed of its brilliance by the sun and the moon. Saber also showed a look of surprise after taking a sip, and R, who was a little worried about the safety of his family a second ago, also showed an undisguised expression of love after drinking the fine wine - taking a panoramic view of everyone's expressions , Archer's face showed obvious complacency.

"Look, whether it's wine or swords, this king's treasury has always contained only the best, this is the king's taste!" Gently lifting the golden wine glass in his palm, Archer showed a leisurely expression on his face. Smiling, "How about rider, didn't you say that wine should be used to measure whether a hero is eligible for the Holy Grail?"

Obviously, the Holy Grail has long been regarded as something in the palm of his hand, or, according to the unbridled statement of the golden hero, it is something in his treasure house, and there is no competition for him as the master... It seems that he It was more like driving away the thieves who coveted his treasures.

"Oh, this is really..."

After listening to archer's ownership remarks that obviously had nothing to do with the theme of this banquet, rider suddenly showed that expression of helplessness when he saw berserker, and he casually grabbed the heavy golden wine vessel by his side to fill himself up again Going up, he muttered softly: "Well, but I can probably guess your real name... There is probably only one person who is more proud than I, Iskandar."

Rider said so, but his eyes slanted slightly, and he glanced at the dark green long-haired girl silently playing with the golden wine glass behind r: he didn't care about Saber and her r, but since Yui generously told He is a saber, so as an ally, he should also tell him the identity of the archer he guessed...if that girl can't guess it.

But this girl... is really a completely different type from Weber, it is completely impossible to tell from her face whether she guessed it or not...

"But you still came to this banquet, archer," retracting his thoughts, rider touched the somewhat hard beard on his chin with his thick palm, "Could it be that if you think that among the heroic spirits here Who is qualified to get the Holy Grail, then you will give the Holy Grail?"

"What a ridiculous question, King Conqueror. As a king, you actually ask such a question that deviates from your identity?" Archer turned his head slightly, and swept his haughty gaze over everyone present, "Treasures of kings never exist. Compromise will only be rewarded to the king's subjects and people."

Raising his chin, Archer's ruby-like pupils met with Youyi's dark blue and somewhat unpredictable eyes: "How about r, if you are willing to surrender and please me, then I will be happy. It doesn't matter if I give you two cups."

There were so many r's present, but they chose Yui, rider frowned thoughtfully, but r who was Yui was the first to get furious.

"Don't be joking, Archer!" The golden wine glass fell to the ground, if it wasn't for the sake of rider and Yui, R would have shown his weapon on the spot and taught Archer who dared to humiliate his lord like this, "I want the princess to submit to you This kind of talk is simply nonsense, since my lord wants the Holy Grail, then naturally I will win it for her! This is also the purpose of my summoning by the Holy Grail! Archer, your rude words today, I r tomorrow I will definitely let you confess to my r with blood!"

"Oh? R, you mean that fulfilling that woman's dream is the purpose of your coming here after accepting the Holy Grail summon?" As if hearing something extremely funny, the mocking smile on Archer's face couldn't be stopped at all, " Is that what you said to your r? r's r, and did you also accept and believe such a reason?"

Saber, Rider and others were also slightly surprised for a moment: Without the slightest selfishness or desire, just relying on a single summon to surrender wholeheartedly to their r... Is this kind of thing really possible?Even if she is as upright as Saber, although she will protect Irisviel wholeheartedly, the protection and loyalty of a knight are different. She has her own pride as a king.

What's more, Emiya Kiritsugu is such a difficult man to see through.

But r... At least, from the perspective of rider and saber at this moment, the young and handsome spear hero only has full loyalty and protection for his r. Originally, this was not surprising in rider's view: handsome and good at fighting The r and the young and beautiful r, if there is anything that can drive a man to dedicate everything to a girl without complaint or regret in such a short period of time, then there is only love... But Yui Sanada, the girl sees There was never any ambiguity or love in the eyes of his followers.

"I believe, Archer." The girl who was as quiet and deep as the sea gave R a comforting smile after taking over the conversation without hesitation, and then the blade in her words pointed at Archer without hesitation, "Just as I believe Archer, you, the Heroic Spirit summoned to compete for the Holy Grail, just said that you can 'reward' the Holy Grail to me..."

"But archer... I believe that you are not a person of lies and deceit, but I don't believe that you have the ability to determine the ownership of the Holy Grail." The girl's slender fingers slowly turned the golden wine glass in her hand. She looked as if she was only concentrating on admiring the exquisitely carved patterns and shining gems on the wine glass, "Whether it is treasures in this world, wealth, resources or countries, everything is being fought back and forth by human beings. Yes. Just like the territory of a country has changed thousands of times from ancient times to the present, if the Holy Grail belongs to you alone, then where did this Holy Grail War start? In the previous wars where you were not summoned, could the winner be Can't win and use the Holy Grail?"

"You regard yourself as the owner of the Holy Grail, and find the rider's problem ridiculous... But in my opinion, you are still immersed in the daydream of the glory of the king thousands of years ago when you obviously depend on others to maintain your own health." The guy in the middle is even more ridiculous." Gently putting down the wine glass in her hand, the girl raised her head, the silvery white moonlight fell through the jagged clouds, she looked directly at the golden heroic spirit's red pupils full of anger, Yuyi's face was full of anger as always. There was a quiet smile, but there was a hint of provocation in those beautiful dark blue eyes.

"It's absolutely impossible for me to surrender to you, Archer!"

The girl opened her palms and slowly closed them, with a look of arrogance, "You said this Holy Grail is your treasure? It doesn't matter! No matter what it once belonged to, as long as it is what I want Things, I always like to rely on my ability to snatch—”

Whether it's power, power, or family... "And what's worth showing off, Archer, so far, I don't seem to have suffered a defeat."

(three)

The girl's blatant nonsense made Saber a little stunned for a moment, especially when the other party was the grumpy and rebellious Archer.The surrounding atmosphere was a bit tense for a while, being ridiculed like this, the golden hero even faintly brewed a murderous intent for a while. Standing opposite Archer, he was obviously ready to fight for the girl and Archer at any time.

... She really is a princess who is not even inferior to that guy in pride.

Sighing with a headache, the rider immediately drank the wine in the glass: "Well... it seems that you really have to fight for the sake of r and archer! But it's rare to have such a good wine, so it's not as good as today Just a truce for now?"

"That's wrong, King of Conquerors." Although under the comfort of the girl's eyes, R, who was full of fighting spirit, was finally pulled back by the rider and sat back in his original place, but the handsome black-haired young man still said in a cold and authentic tone, "Even without the princess' wishes and orders, Archer humiliates my lord like this, this is something that I, as a knight and a subject, absolutely cannot tolerate... As I said before, Archer, if you don't take back your wild words , no matter how great a hero you are, I will definitely kill you under the gun!"

"My king's wild words? What you said is not a good thing..." After a short period of patience, Archer snorted coldly, but unexpectedly restrained the madness on his body, "But this is not bad. ryo, this king is looking forward to your fulfillment of your wild words!"

——Presumably your so-called snatching method is not just wanting to rely on a mere r, right?

Squinting his crimson blood pupils, Archer slightly raised his wine glass in the direction of the dark green long-haired girl, showing a slightly sinister smile.

The tense atmosphere just a few seconds ago disappeared under Archer's ambiguous expectation. Saber breathed a sigh of relief, but then brought the topic back to the original place: "If according to r, he did it for himself You must fight for the Holy Grail only if you are loyal to your lord, then rider, why did you accept the call of the Holy Grail?"

"This is..."

He has always been the questioner of this banquet, and when Saber asked such a question suddenly, a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on Rider's face.Money, power, beauties... The king who had everything before his death, almost swept across the Eurasian continent, conquered the east and west for a lifetime, said slowly after a brief moment of contemplation: "I want to become a human being again."

"Eh--?!"

This time, it was the young Weber who had been trying his best to reduce his sense of existence since the beginning of the banquet, who exclaimed this time. He almost shouted in an unbelievable to crazy tone: "You, you——I said You! Rider, don’t you really want to defeat the President of the United States, replace the real regime, and continue to conquer the world?!”

"Puff—cough cough cough...!"

Suddenly hearing Wei Bo's horrifying and funny remarks, the dark green long-haired girl who was drinking from a glass couldn't bear it any longer. She took a mouthful of strong wine and coughed on the spot.
