[Comprehensive] Non-flowers are like blades

King's way

(One)

For such a short moment, because of the completely different wish of the rider, the entire courtyard of Einzbern Castle fell into an "unbelievable" silence, the only sound that could be heard It was the whining sound of the young Weber clutching his forehead when the rider flicked his fingers away.

Whether it's Saber or R, or even Archer who has always believed that he still holds the world's treasures as before, these heroic spirits, their wishes are often to make up for the regrets of their lives, but no matter what, they all acquiesce that they have "dead" Like Rider, willing to discard the glory of being a Heroic Spirit and the former glory, and actually live again... They never thought about it.

Noticing that Saber sat up straight for a moment, putting aside the fine wine that she had always loved, Yui couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly: Archer's obsession that is not at all a wish r that wayward and unstoppable loyalty, and rider's ordinary And extravagant selfishness... To put it bluntly, among the heroic spirits present, if there is any one who sincerely participates in this feast and is persuaded, he may give up the Holy Grail and give it to the hero he admires , then I am afraid that there is only this King Arthur who has always been awe-inspiring and self-disciplined to the extreme until his death?

"Archer, although what r's r said just now is harsh, but most of it is true, isn't it? Although we heroic spirits have the highest status and glory, but all of this, the world we see and touch right now , this is not relying on our own ability to perceive, but relying on the magic power of the so-called r's to support us. After all, we are just summoned by them. Once r's magic power is exhausted or dies, we will no longer Does it exist?"

After belching, the tall, wall-like rider's voice was clearly tinged with drunkenness, as if yearning for something incomparably beautiful, but the king who had almost conquered the world was now It seems like a child is carefully describing his ideal: "So! I want to get *! And rely on my own strength, take root in this world, become a human being again, and truly live in this wonderful world! "

"Use this as the ultimate goal to keep moving forward, and finally get what you want—this is the way of me, the Conqueror King Iskandar!"

Looking up, the rider put the empty golden wine glass on the ground heavily with his thick arms, in the dark brown pupils, the previous three-point drunkenness has dissipated, and the rest is full of undisguised domineering light; just like his When he was alive, he never stopped his pace of expanding the territory of Macedonia. On this journey leading to his new dream, all enemies who tried to stop him, he would mercilessly crush them with his thunderous chariot into pieces.

"yes……"

Opening her closed eyes, the blond girl wearing a heavy silver-white armor let out a sigh of relief, as if she had finally confirmed something and said slowly: "If that's the case, rider, I won't give you the Holy Grail Such a king."

——Just because, such a selfish dream...is not really the style of a king.

Through Saber's blue firm eyes, rider read out what Saber really wanted to say.Instead of being offended by the other party's straightforward denial, rider showed an interested smile, "Oh? Then, please tell me what you think is the way to be king, Saber."

"..."

After pondering for a moment, Saber's eyes slowly passed over the other three heroic spirits present. Unlike the rider who was in high spirits when he told his dream, this young and beautiful king lowered his gaze, as if repenting, full of deep pain and the color of blame:

"My dream... is to save my country."

"—With the power of the Holy Grail, the 'Universal Wishing Machine', change the fate of my motherland, Britain."

(two)

Perhaps it is because the legend of King Arthur itself is too legendary, so the king of knights who made a great mark in the history of England, the most popular leader of the Knights of the Round Table in the Celtic hero myth, even after The millennium is still being sung from generation to generation in the vast history and literary works.

From the birth of King Arthur, his encounter with Master Merlin, his adventures with the Knights of the Round Table, his promise of destiny for the country and drawing the sword from the stone to the throne, the round table brought by Guinevere whom he married...all of these Before Yui knew where Britain and England were on the map, she had heard stories from various books; even Guinevere and Lancelot, King Arthur and The love affairs of his sister, Mrs. Morgan, all of which were widely circulated by later generations because of this legendary king—of course, after truly knowing that this legendary king who is as inviolable as a god is actually a beautiful girl Yuyi immediately understood why Lancelot and Guinevere eloped. As for Mrs. Morgan and King Arthur... Cough, I'll ask Saber again if I have a chance, if she doesn't mind answering.

However, excluding those romantic affairs that were probably added by the excessive romantic cells of French writers, King Arthur's life is indeed as Saber said: even if she is the illegitimate son of King Uther of Britain, she is a well-deserved king of heaven. From drawing the sword in the stone to being buried at the Battle of Camlann, she had dedicated and fought for the prosperity of her country... and even, after death, could not sleep for the fate of her beloved Britain.

For the fate of Britain's ultimate extinction, the girl who gave everything to her motherland blamed it on her own wrong guidance.The existence of the Holy Grail gave the girl the hope of changing her destiny—yes, overturning history, even if it means erasing all the blood and tears that she has engraved in history throughout her life, Saber's wish is to destroy and Even if you deny everything about yourself, you must also save your motherland.

What a heavy and lofty dream... It was as if an eternal cross was pressing firmly on the girl's slender and straight back.In such a short and long life, she never stayed for love and family affection, but devoted all to the "motherland" that could never respond to her feelings—just like...

Just like that person... the same.

Closing his eyes, the smiling face of the girl who looked like himself in a mirror flashed through Yuyi's mind in a very short moment. "No matter what kind of tragic fate, you have to face it with a smile" - always remembering her mother's words, she stood in front of her sister who was finally lost and her lover who was finally honest with each other, and resolutely chose to burn her life To perform the duties of the so-called "Dakong leader", until the last moment, even with tears and pure smiles.

Although she never said it out loud, Yui always felt that the fate of the Chilionello family for generations was tinged with tragedy.But even so, even Luche, she has understanding and is willing to protect her first generation of rainbow children; Arya has the understanding and companionship of everyone in the Kirioneiro family; Gama accompanied her; and she had the Sanada family in Kanagawa eagerly looking forward to her return home, the Barbara who cared for her sincerely no matter what, and Levi who cared for each other no matter how rich or poor, high or low. The members of the [-]th team who risked their lives... Also, the sister Youni who chose to face death by herself in order to protect her, and the Juju-kun who was able to find her after a few worlds.

But what about Saber... Although during her lifetime, that gorgeous and lofty round table gathered famous knights for her in the name of destiny, but at the end of everything, her "wife" left her, her best friend betrayed her, Her sister wanted to overthrow her, and her children raised their swords against her.

This is the country and people she has dedicated everything to... However, even so, she would rather destroy her last glory in exchange for the rebirth of their destiny.

"Is there anything wrong?! Accepting the expectations of the people and the choice of the gods, as a king, it is reasonable to stand up and give everything for the prosperity of the country—isn't this the real way of kingship?!"

Facing Rider's silent questioning and Archer's wanton ridicule, the young girl king couldn't hold back the anger in his chest and suddenly stood up, asking loudly.

"Why doubt? Why laugh?! The country that entrusted the sword and kingship to me has perished under my rule. I am ashamed of my incompetence, and I feel sorry for the people who follow me. I want to rely on my I spent my whole life trying to restore all of this! Could it be that you, who are also kings, can’t understand such a feeling?!”

"Hey, did you all hear Rider? R? This little girl who calls herself the 'Knight King' actually said something like 'dedicate her life to her motherland'!"

As if hearing some big joke, the golden heroic spirit burst into laughter, in exchange for the girlish heroic spirit's glaring gaze; but what really embarrassed Saber was the rider's long silence.

"Indeed, as long as there is a road that the king insists on, it can be called the 'king'."

Opening slowly, the dark green long-haired girl raised her head, looking deeply at Saber with her bottomless eyes like the night sky. There are regrets, but if you express your regrets to the point of overturning and denying everything you did during your lifetime, that is a real failure."

"Master..."

Somewhat shocked, Yuyi r stood up slowly and looked at Saber, and subconsciously felt that something that had been hidden in the other party was finally revealed—just like the blood-stained dream that seemed to have endless sadness, it was deep The past hidden deep under the carefree appearance of "Yuyi Sanada"...is another r that he doesn't know.

"No matter who ridicules, no matter who crusades, no matter what the result is, this is the path I believe in! This is the result of what I and my companions who follow and trust me believe in and fight for until the end! And this result , success or failure, right or wrong—"

Countless pictures, countless memories, seem to have been sleeping in the depths of the memory and blurred, but at this moment it seems to be lit up and clear:

She suddenly thought of the day when she stood on the crowded street and stretched out her hand quickly, pushing Yukimura Seichi who was suddenly unable to move, but completely shattered her original ordinary life;

She angrily pushed away the ten beams, clearly knowing that the person was willing to defend her even with a knife and gun, but she was uneasy because she was alone, so she doubted and questioned, then jumped down from the window of the Barbara, and threw herself Bring the one you love before the Colorless King;

The high city gate rose slowly in front of her eyes, showing the light of infinite freedom in the eyes of the survey corps recruits who were looking forward to the world outside the wall, and she sat on the horse holding the rein, enjoying their respect and trust, watching What I saw was the near future, the bloody picture of those young and beautiful lives being torn to pieces in the giant's mouth;

That night that she will never forget, she begged the captain to save Kuchiki Canojun, but she failed the trust of Yoruichi, Hirako, Kuchiki Captain, and Xiao Byakuza. — Not only did she lose all the trust of that boy, but she also lost the captain who was as important as her father.Facing the passing face of Kudai Kenpachi smiling and leaving, all she, an incompetent guardian, can do is tear the murderer into pieces;

"Could it be that Yui-chan really wants to watch Youni-chan die~" When Bai Lan said the last sentence, there was no hesitation and eternal unspeakable hope in her heart: let go by pretending to miss Bai Lan, let him stop Yuni's sacrificial act that is tantamount to suicide, and let him save his last relative. As long as Youni survives, even if Pengo Lie dies, it has nothing to do with her... She is also human, so she I really thought so too—if it wasn’t for the tearful eyes of Yuni’s last smile and the wholehearted happy smile nestled on Gamma’s chest, she would really, really, do that.

But even if she let go at that time, even if Peng Lie, the members of the Kirioneiro family, and even Youni resented her because of it afterwards, she...

"—and I'll never regret it."

"Whether it's loss or gain, whether it's sadness or happiness; it doesn't matter if you give up your own life or the lives of important people around you for the sake of lofty ideals, or you give up the warmth of reality and give up your ideals to be despised and ridiculed by others; choose to do it cleanly. A cowardly and ordinary commoner still holds his faith with his hands stained with blood... No matter what the ending is, since I have sacrificed my life and fought hard, I will never regret it."

"Because, that is the choice made by [I], no matter how many times I do it again, it will not change; it is also the path supported by those who trust and follow me, even if I lose completely in the end, at least I have those sincere The people who accompanied me, such precious process and memories, are more important than anything else..."

The clear moonlight was like flowing water, quietly falling on the dark green long-haired girl, from a distance it seemed to be coated with a lonely silver edge.Finally retracting thousands of thoughts, Yuyi opened his eyes, met Saber's unbelievable gaze, paused and continued: "I am still like this, Saber, if you are King Arthur, there should be more people around you who believed in that era." And loyal to those who follow you? If you choose to subvert history and deny your own past, then it is equivalent to overthrowing and shattering the beliefs they have dedicated their lives to!"

"Britain is completely destroyed? That's not necessarily the case. Perhaps on the current map, your homeland has indeed belonged to others, but is that the so-called destruction? So many countries throughout the ages, countless heroes have illuminated each In this era, how many countries have truly survived intact in the world? Besides, even if the countries that still exist on the map now, how many countries can guarantee that they will still be normal after 100 years, 1000 years, or even 1 years later? What about Green Prosperity? Your Britain still has the legend of you and your knights, and the blood of Britain has not been cut off. These traces engraved in history are enough to prove that you have burned brilliantly and brilliantly!"

"Saber, do you want to erase all the last glory left by those heroes who belonged to you and Britain, and all the heroes who shed their blood for the motherland in that era?!"

Looking coldly at the blond girl's pale face due to astonishment, Yui's words were like invisible blades, mercilessly cutting open the girl's wish of dedicating her life: "If you still insist on doing this in the end, I will can only say……"

"Those heroes and knights who trusted and followed you are too pitiful and unfortunate—"

"shut up……"

Seeing Saber's face getting paler and paler, as if she couldn't bear anything anymore, Irisviel finally raised her voice like an eruption: "A person like you..."

"How can a selfish and despicable person like you understand Saber's dream!? Pursuing the Holy Grail for your own selfish desires, what qualifications do you have to evaluate Saber?!"

(three)

From an artificial human who was rigid at the mercy of others and had no emotions at first, to being loved and taught ideals and beliefs, her red pupils that never knew where to focus, finally found something called "light" in that man.

Although the person she loves always wears a dark windbreaker that seems to be able to dissolve into the night at any time and disappear, and rarely sees the expression called "happiness" in his eyes.

So, she stretched out her hand, stroked the man's tightly wrinkled eyebrows and learned the pain, and then combined with him as an ordinary woman, and gave birth to Ilya who could laugh happily for him. Their Ilya elegant.

If it was Irisviel who used to have no emotions, probably she wouldn't make a sound, right?But at that moment, she stood up in a strange way, and what she said was defending Saber's wish on the Holy Grail, but she knew very clearly in her heart: no matter what, she couldn't let the strongest Einzbern The Saber of the Heroic Spirits lost the will to participate in the Holy Grail War.

——Emiya Kiritsugu, her beloved husband, and Illya's father cannot lose this strongest sword.

That girl... r's r, can really do something like that.Even without Kiritsugu reminding her of this point, Irisviel could clearly realize it.Just as she could push Kiritsugu to a corner so easily, her words were no less inferior to her swordsmanship.

"'My kind of person'...?"

It was the second time today that such words were used to describe it, and Yuyi felt that it was a bit subtle.Irisviel's interruption was not what she expected, but even so, since she was also participating in the Holy Grail War, the girl herself intervened to join the conversation, so naturally she would not stop Irisviel's interruption. participate.only……

"Can you be more clear? Saber's... acting agent, Miss R," Yui paused with a smile, and Yui saw the woman with silver hair and red pupils sticking tightly behind Saber, her beautiful red pupils were full of tears. It was hostility, and he sighed helplessly: "What does the so-called 'my kind' mean?"

"It means the r of r..."

Gathering up her courage, Irisviel's voice was not loud, but it was very clear in the quiet courtyard.

"R's r, you are one of the largest mafia families in the world today, a member of the Mirufiore family, right?!"

"—Black, Mafia?!"

Almost at the moment Irisviel's voice fell, Weber, who had finally reduced his sense of existence, exclaimed again tonight.He looked in Sanada Yui's direction, subconsciously wanted to back away but held back: "Cheat, lie...hey rider, Sanada like this... is too far behind those mafias, right? ?!"

For such an embarrassing r, rider raised a big hand, covered his eyes and sighed heavily; while sitting on the other side of rider, archer raised his eyebrows with great interest, and turned his gaze to Irisviel The dark green long-haired girl on the opposite side: Anger, anxiety, embarrassment... All the emotions expected by a person whose identity has been exposed are not found on the girl's face, even Saber's identity has been exposed There was none of the surprise at that time; on the contrary, Yui raised the corners of her lips and showed a relieved smile as if she was relieved.

"The Mirufiore family... Is this the news that you have formed an alliance with that fellow Kenneth?"

Raising the corners of her lips, the girl with dark green long hair glanced at Saber, who suddenly became alert and reflexively stretched out her hand to protect Irisviel behind her, and smiled lightly: "Don't be so nervous. Ah... saber."

"I exposed your identity. Although you gave in with the wind of a knight, after all, it was the people on your side who revealed my identity..."

Shrugging her shoulders, the girl with dark blue eyes stretched out her hand like no one else was there, lightly filled her wine glass, and then raised her hand in the direction of Saber: "In this way, we will be evened out, isn't it?" ?"
