[Comprehensive] Non-flowers are like blades

king and minister

(One)

The yellow sand rising all over the sky extends infinitely to the endless blue sky. The dagger of the king who once almost conquered the world is raised high and pointed to the sky. At the same time, the shouts of countless heroic warriors engraved in historical legends resounded deafeningly. The whole wilderness!The flying military flag pointed awe-inspiringly, and the army that was enough to flatten a country flooded everything like a vast ocean tide...

"King, should you be lonely?"

Rider's last question echoed in the girl's ears again; at that time, although she knew the answer, she didn't answer it.

——As a king, you can stand on a high place and overlook everything, but the kind of solitude that stands alone is not what a king should have.

She has seen many kings, all kinds of leaders.And among those people, Zhou Fangzun has Kusanagi Izumo and Jutsu Tara by his side, Munakata Reisi has Seri Awashima who follows him wholeheartedly; Erwin Levi, and maybe her; the old man of Captain Yamamoto of Seireitei Although the meeting was too serious, the students who treated Mao were as kind and amiable as the grandfather next door. On weekdays, the captains of the thirteen divisions, who were often regarded by him as his sons and daughters, were so angry that they blew their beards and stared, and knocked Maou with a cane. Their heads; Sawada Tsunayoshi has his guardians, although Bailan is cruel, but Zhenliu Diaohua follows him to the death, Yoni and Gamma are even more...

Even her former self, Isa Riemann has Astoria and her subordinates who are running for her in the imperial capital even if she leaves the wall, Levi and Petra, Sanada Yui has ten bundles of Tatara, There are Sifengin Yoichi and Kuchiki Byakuya, as well as everyone from the Jiudai Kenpachi and the eleventh team.

But why, I don’t know when it started—it was when she walked out of the huge pit where Youni disappeared, or when she didn’t realize it, earlier, she once smiled and protected her from the wind and rain Everyone was left behind by her: Kirioneiro's old men tried to dissuade them, and they were repeatedly hung up by her, the calls from the relatives of the Sanada family, the intentional or unintentional warnings from Reborn and Verdi, Feng's eyes were full of worry, and even Sawada Tsunayoshi asked her what's the matter... But she didn't answer anyone who cared about her, but just blindly embraced the dream like a fantasy, and entrusted her wish to a so-called The "Universal Wishing Machine", and then walked forward without knowing it...

—I can do it.I'm fine by myself.Because it is my own willful wish, let me bet my own life to be willful, and don't implicate everyone.

If she walks alone in this way to the end, will she also see the same desperate and desolate scenery as Saber, and will she also want to... give everything, overthrow and destroy everything she created with her own hands?

Rider's last question, she knew the answer, but she was no longer qualified to answer.

"At the end of the day, you didn't answer a single question, r of r."

The reason for the girl's silence was noticed by Archer, so that's why the unruly golden heroic spirit showed such a malicious and ironic disgusting smile to her before leaving.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. People who have money and power that ordinary people in this world can't imagine in a lifetime but are still unsatisfied are very similar to this king! So your wish for the Holy Grail... ...This king can almost guess it."

With endless money and absolute power, it can be said that everything in this world is almost within easy reach of the girl in front of her, but her face does not have the happiness that ordinary people should have. What she pursues is money. Neither power nor power can be given to her, and this thing...he has also pursued it.

Deeply touched by the death of his only true friend, the King, rich in all the treasures of the world, mourned.Taking advantage of the dark night, he started a difficult trek, crossed the Marsh Mountain leading to the sun, and finally crossed the sea of ​​death after exhausting 120 oars despite the obstruction of the half-scorpion Pabilsag. In front of the only survivor of the Great Flood and the immortal Utnabisitdin, he asked him the mystery of life and death.Utnabisidin received him but did not directly answer his questions, but gave him a trial of six days and seven nights without sleep, and he failed, perhaps it was God's will, even after that Utnabisidin His wife's kindness gave him the grass of immortality, which can bring people back to life and live forever, but was eaten by a snake on the way home. All his efforts came to naught, and he returned to Uruk empty-handed.

"Resurrect your beloved? This king has had such an ambition to offend the realm of the gods! So rest assured, this king will not think you are stupid, it's just..."

With a handsome appearance like a god, and a deep cello-like timbre, even though he doesn't have the magic mole given by the goddess of youth on R's face, Archer still has the capital to captivate all the women in the world—if there is no hiding in his expression and tone That infinite evil and *words.

"Do you think I'm overestimated? Just because of your own incompetent failure, do you think no one else can do it? This is really boring arrogance."

All the confusion was only for a short moment, and with a blink of an eye, Yui became the lofty, proud and confident Mirufiore II again, "Put away your disgusting tricks, archer, you You can tease Saber, but your tricks don't work on me."

"Teasing? No r r, this king just thinks that compared with the appearance when you were talking to Saber before, your bewildered and lost expression at that moment is indeed more endearing..."

As the handsome blond-haired hero said so, he slowly approached the girl's dark green soft and flowing long hair, and the corners of Yui's mouth were curved in an evil manner that made Yuyi extremely displeased.

"'Affectionate'... a guy like you, I don't need your so-called affection." Turning her head slightly, Yui frowned to avoid Archer's malicious approach, her voice was the same as Saber's long sword Ice-cold and hard, repelling Archer thousands of miles away, "You know, Archer, there used to be a monster called 'Virtual', who was confused and feared by people because of the emptiness in their hearts and the lack of something that could fill the gap called 'Emotion' Attracted by sorrow, like to play with people's hearts——Although you have a human face, your extremely bad character is very similar to that ugly monster... 【King of Heroes】."

Yuyi is not an idiot, Archer revealed so much information about his past deeds in words, coupled with Rider's intentional or unintentional hints, Archer's identity is already obvious.

"Oh...'Xu'? This king has never heard of it."

He didn't mind being known by the girl's real name, and he didn't even care about the offense caused by Yuyi's words. Instead, the moody hero king became interested in the monster she said: "Then r, you should be deeply disgusted and even Are you afraid of that monster?"

"On the contrary..." The slender and beautiful eyebrows were raised slightly, and the girl smiled softly, "I specialize in killing ghosts."

For such an extremely short moment, Yuyi clearly felt a blade-like killing intent attacking from Archer's body, and the girl moved her fingertips slightly and was about to draw the sword, but the next second, the fooled Golden Heroic Spirit suddenly raised his head The lip line was drawn, and the previous malicious smile was wantonly enlarged.

"Bastard... Did you see that coward Tokiomi didn't dare to let me completely release my Noble Phantasm in front of r and rider, so you deliberately provoked me?"

When mentioning Tohsaka Tokiomi, Archer's own R, the disdain and disdain in the golden hero's tone seemed to overflow, making R frowned uncomfortably.Beside the spearman, the girl with long dark green hair lowered her head slightly, and the corner of her lips raised slightly provocatively. Although she didn't answer directly, the smile in her eyes didn't have the slightest intention to hide .

Without Assassin's surveillance, Tokiomi Tosaka's words may not be able to know Archer's words. However, no matter how dazzling a demigod hero is in history through the magical power of a magician, if he wants to use the Noble Phantasm, he must also borrow the magic power of R. ; and when Archer and Berserker were one-on-one, Tohsaka Tokiomi did not hesitate to use a Command Spell, against Archer's self-esteem and will to forcibly recall him, how could he let this proud Heroic Spirit use it in front of the already allied Rider and R? The true form of the treasure?

——The arrogant Archer and the cautious Tohsaka Tokiomi?The difference in spirit is not one or two points... Perhaps the elegant and noble head of the Tohsaka family thinks he has a chance to win, but how can someone with Archer's character wholeheartedly go all out for R who has violated his own will and dignity? What about playing?As early as the first Command Seal disappeared, or even earlier, the hidden danger of estrangement had been planted between the two of them...

"Hmph, the kingly way that will never be shaken no matter what r's r..."

The big hand, which was completely covered by the golden armor, suddenly closed, and the bright golden cup in the palm turned into fine golden sand and flowed into the night.Not being able to reap the same anger as Saber from Yuyi, the bad-tempered Golden Heroic Spirit didn't feel annoyed, but showed an evil smile of joy and appreciation: "Relax bastard, because you are so similar to this king's best friend , the king forgives all your rudeness! But..."

"Pursue such a vague dream, Mirufiore II? This king is looking forward to it! When your dreams are shattered and your beliefs are ashes... When the so-called unshakable in your heart is crumbling—"

"At that time, r, the indestructible light in your eyes will surely turn into sweet and lovable tears, right? The king is looking forward to it..."

【"Death cannot be resurrected."】

【"Any wish, as long as it is related to human life, the price will be extremely expensive."】

In a trance, she seems to have returned to the memory of an unknown long time ago. When Chuchu stepped into Yuko's shop, the wish seller raised her white and slender fingers to hold the silver carved pipe, and after listening to her After wishing, she leisurely exhaled a large cloud of smoke that blocked her face.

"Even so, that's my wish..." The dark color in her eyes sank, the girl with dark green long hair raised her head, looked at the direction where the golden heroic spirit disappeared, and said calmly.

【"...In this shop, there is no wish that cannot be fulfilled; there is only a price that cannot be afforded."】

——If it's for Youni... In this world, there is no price she can't bear.

(two)

"...Ah, yes, I get it, I have really worked hard for you for a while."

The night shrouded the entire city like a huge cloak, faintly scattered stars were displayed in it, and the gorgeous lights gathered from the roof and walls of the hotel in the center of Fuyuki City, and then reflected through the cold bulletproof glass. It was in Yui's deep blue eyes that could not see the end.

"Huh? Support? What the hell is that... No need, I alone is enough to deal with these ordinary people. Anyway, guessing with my knees is the idea of ​​the wild ape guy. Don't worry about him making him mess up. If you really have nothing to do, just do it." Send him to Antarctica to raise penguins."

Moist dark green long hair softly covered the white towel on the girl's shoulders, Youyi stretched out her hand and pushed open the window, the refreshing night wind came oncoming, and the wet hair gently brushed her area. With a smile on his lips, "Not convinced? Thank that kid for his kindness for me, but also warn him to stay in Italy honestly, and if he dares to come to Japan, he will be given Uncle Taiyuan's hairstyle~"

The loud background music on the other line of the phone suddenly quieted down within a second.Seeing the girl smiling, Shi Shiran hung up the phone, holding the r that had just made coffee, and suddenly felt sympathetic to that purple-haired and arrogant boy who only met a few times and always regarded himself as a "princess confidant".

Use a black marker pen to circle the information collected by your subordinates on the spread out map, from Tohsaka Tokiomi who is standing still, to Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth Archibald who are elusive, almost everyone's base And the trend was clearly presented in just 2 minutes, and the girl's current goal is indeed...

——That, the demon who killed countless people... [r].

"Rider is right. Although I am only a temporary partner connected by three command spells, I have never been alone." It was the girl's calm and serious voice that suddenly interrupted r's thoughts, and the black mark between her fingers The pen lightly tapped the places along the Mito River on the map of Fuyuki City, "These are the last places where the children were seen before they disappeared today. According to the investigation of my subordinates, the only thing these children have in common is after school. I have been near the Weiyuan River."

There are new victims.This is obviously not good news for r, the black-haired heroic face suddenly turned ugly, because he thought of what the dark green long-haired girl said when she threw the remote control to him that morning with a blank face: no Apologize to me; if you really want to apologize, you should go to these parents who have lost children, and those children who have been or will be murdered by r.

"Children who have been or are about to be murdered by R"... R can only smile wryly when thinking of the so-called works of art in R's workshop.Should have thought of it earlier, shouldn't it? r That kind of person, from his abilities to his treasures, is full of evil spirits. What will happen to the children who fall into his hands?His r is really euphemistic.

"If you're blaming yourself in your heart right now, you don't have to."

As if seeing through r's thoughts at this moment, the girl turned her head and met the man's self-blaming eyes, "Whether it's you, rider, saber, archer or even berserker, and all the r's present that day, Everyone has a chance to kill r, right? What I said that morning was just a moment of anger."

"But at that time, princess, you risked your life to create a chance for me..."

Although other people also had the opportunity to kill r to prevent the series of tragedies that followed, he was the one closest to this opportunity.It was his hesitation that ruined those young and immature lives r think so.

r This melancholy and regretful expression reminded Yui of Tsunayoshi Sawada almost instantly, and as a competitor with a bad personality who did not lose to Prynne, the girl had the urge to crush such an expression of self-blame ——unless it appears on Yoni or Ten Beam's face.

"Why, do you think that at that time you were the only existence that could defeat r? If that's the case, you really look down on me, r, right?"

Stretching out her hand, the dark green long-haired girl standing in front of r squinted her eyes, while slowly raising her right hand engraved with three flame-shaped command spells, while staring at r's eyes, said every word :"……It's me."

"I was the one who chose to give up r and temporarily targeted Saber's r. I was the one who wanted to use him to test your bottom line even though I could kill r as long as I liberated Changguang. I saw your hesitation at that moment. But I was the one who didn't enforce it on you because I was stingy with a Command Seal..."

Closing her eyes, Yui stood up and approached the gunman, her dark blue eyes reflected the man's stunned face, she paused, "and deliberately shifting responsibility, throwing the blame on your willful and incompetent consequences Dan r, it's me too."

"My Master, please don't..."

Hearing the girl speak so bluntly and sarcastically about her faults, the loyal and self-reproaching Heroic Spirit was at a loss for a moment, and almost reflexively knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and wanted to say something, but was beaten again by the girl. broken.

"If you knew that the consequences of r leaving alive were like this, at that time no matter what, you would chop him into bones with a sword... But unfortunately, I don't know, and you are the same r."

Putting one hand on the spearman's shoulder, Yui bent down and approached the man's face: "So, please don't blame yourself. If you have any accusations or questions, please tell me; just like rider said, Please don't make me a lonely monarch, okay?"

Looking at the girl's dark blue sincere eyes in a daze, a word flashed through my mind when I was summoned just now in Miru Fiore - the so-called Dakong does not just refer to the leaders of the various families The flame attribute, more often refers to the leader himself.

Although she never said it out loud, even though she has always fulfilled the duties and obligations of the "leader" extremely accurately, R can feel that this girl always thinks that she is not suitable to be the "leader".

However, from the moment she met his eyes just now, R suddenly felt an inexplicable gratitude to the Holy Grail—and this gratitude was enough to support him in the following no matter how tragic or desperate In the war, they all went to the end firmly and fearlessly, and no matter the result, they were grateful.

[I want to once again, completely loyal to a real master. 】

This is the man's wish entrusted to the Holy Grail. It has nothing to do with gain or loss. It is so humble that people doubt its authenticity, but this is his wish.

It's great to meet such an r. Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help reaching out, holding the girl's hand, kneeling on one knee with the highest knightly etiquette, and kissing the back of the girl's hand.

"I, Diarmuid, the grandson of Odina, set a ban here..."

(three)

"Hey rider, you knew from the beginning that Yui... Sanada-san is a mafia?"

Walking along the long bank of the Weiyuan River, behind Weber was a big red-haired man walking with his hands behind his head, with a relaxed expression on his face. He didn't feel the tension of returning from the battlefield at all. The rider gave Weber the feeling, It seems that he is just a middle-aged uncle who is full of food and drinks and goes out leisurely... although he has a little muscle.

"Hmm... If I had to say it, at first I just thought that this girl was so strong that she didn't seem like a human being."

Touching the rough beard on his chin, the rider frowned, and muttered, "That character of vengeance really seems to be flowing in blood. Why do you ask this, brat?"

"Then do you still need to ask? Of course it is..." Wei Wei choked for a moment. Whether it was the alliance relationship he had just established, Wei Bo hesitated for a while, and said: "Is what Saber's agent r said true?"

"...Could it be, brat, are you afraid of r's r?"

"Stupid, stupid! How is this possible!"

However, it was precisely the conditioned rebuttal of the boy's blushing face that confirmed the rider's guess. The red-haired man sighed, lowered his arms and stopped.

"Then why don't you ask her yourself? My dear."

Rider's bright dark brown pupils were stained with a brilliance that Weber's boy could not understand, and he flinched a little uneasily, and the boy didn't speak. Rider said in a deep voice: "Or brat, have you already believed the words of saber's r, do you think r's r is an untrustworthy smooth talker? If that's the case, we can go to r's r to release each other now Alliance."

"Eh! Eh?! That, that's not it..."

"Listen up, brat!"

Raising his voice suddenly, rider looked deeply at the young r in front of him: Although Wei Bo and Yui are of the same age in appearance, there is no need for the two to speak, just one look, the man can judge the two They have very different abilities and completely different personalities.

"Among the army I led before my death, there were not only straightforward and heroic people. The Macedonian Empire is so huge, and naturally there will be no shortage of treacherous and despicable people... But my lord, this does not prevent me from accepting their support , Galloping in every battlefield."

"The rupture of an alliance is often not due to the flaws of the ally itself, but more often because of the provocation of others and the lack of trust between each other. So, kid, if there is any problem, look directly at it and talk to the ally. Communicating with others is the best choice, just blind suspicion, this is just the worst way, understand?"

"Ah... um." Staring blankly at the rider in front of him holding his arms and teaching him a lesson, Weber nodded mechanically like a student being taught, completely forgetting the so-called "dignity of r" in ordinary times: "But that At that time, Sanada-san didn't answer Saber's r..."

"Saber is saber, you are you, brat! Cheer up and hold your chest out!"

He slapped the boy hard on the back, and the boy Webb took a deep breath. Under the night, the rider's sassy laughter came from far above the Weiyuan River: "If r's r answered you and didn't Answer saber's r, isn't it the best proof that you are better than them? Hmm, kid?!"
