[Comprehensive] Non-flowers are like blades

delusions of sentient beings

(One)

The first ray of sunlight in the morning passed through the window of the hut in the forest, and the beautiful and elegant girl rose from Diarmuid's arms. When she wanted to hug this mysterious dewy lover, the extremely beautiful girl raised her hand with a smile, tapped the black-haired knight's lips lightly, showing a gesture of rejection.

"Oh, Diarmuid... my handsome warrior."

On the young girl's face, the white and lustrous skin was soaked in the rosy halo of the early sun, and the young and slender arms were smooth and soft, but the words uttered between those petal-like red lips were enough to make any suitor sad Retreat: "No, my dear Diarmuid. I can only belong to you once, and I must never be with you again."

Doubt and surprise flashed through the young knight's honey-colored bright eyes, and the girl smiled slightly.

"I am the embodiment of youth, so anyone can only have me once... But come here, my handsome knight." With her white and slender arms stretched out, the goddess of youth gently cupped the boy's handsome face, He lowered his head and pressed a kiss on his cheek——

"I give you a mole of love... From now on, no woman will be able to refuse your lifelong love after seeing it."

"Look at that young knight, how handsome and mighty he is!"

"His Excellency Diarmuid Odina!"

"Please win and come back, Lord Diarmuid!"

……

As the goddess of youth said, that mole of love has brought him countless followers and admirers. Although he is not a hero who can stand shoulder to shoulder with his lord, there are more young and beautiful girls who are addicted to him. Finn At first he didn't really care - until his fiancée, Princess Grania, daughter of the King of Ireland, fell in love with him.

Seriously injured by the curse of gies, Diarmuid lay in the icy grass, watching with his own eyes the gloating smile of his beloved lord who betrayed him——

"Oh! Diarmuid, I am very satisfied to see you in this condition, now that all Irish women can see your scarred face, your tall body has become deformed! Even with love moles, You can no longer confuse any woman!"

—It turned out that he never forgot, and never forgave.

The spring water that can heal all wounds flowed away from Finn's jealous fingers again and again, Diarmuid's blood slowly stained among the dark green grass, and finally dried up and condensed on the grass blades...

"If you didn't have the love mole bestowed on you by the goddess of youth, do you think Grania would choose you?!"

Finn's last question echoed in the depths of the knight's mind like a curse.

If he had not accepted the gift of the Goddess of Youth that morning in the forest, would the trajectory of his life be completely different?

【"I give you a love mole... From now on, no woman will be able to refuse to give you the love of a lifetime after seeing it—"】

……

"...Here I swear, I am willing to accomplish all good deeds in the world, and I will put an end to all evil deeds in the world... come through the wheel of restraint, O guardian of the balance!"

In the darkness that had been silent for a long time, the girl's voice was quiet without any fluctuations. It was obvious that the scene that was born in front of her was a miracle that even a real magician would not necessarily see once in a lifetime. The tall black-haired women clapped their hands and let out admiration.

That was the first time he saw the girl who was his mother—the petite body seemed to contain something more eternal and firm than the sea and mountains, deep blue eyes, pure and unpredictable.Diarmuid raised his head, and the moment he met the girl's gaze, his heart suddenly shrank slightly.

【I give you a love mole... from now on, no woman will be able to refuse to give you the love of a lifetime after seeing it—】

After thousands of years, the words left by the goddess of youth in his ears on that infinitely tender morning sounded again. Diarmuid, who was reborn with the name "r", subconsciously wanted to lower his head to cover the love mole in the corner of his eyes, But the girl's eyes caught the tear mole one step faster than him—then, a second after the gunman's heart almost stopped, Yuko, standing behind the dark green long-haired girl, smiled pointedly He opened his mouth: "What are you thinking?"

"...No, nothing."

Saying this, the girl's eyes flashed a little dazed light in a very short second, then she paused, turned her head slightly and glanced at Yuko who jokingly wrote "You are lying" behind her face , sighed slightly, "—I really didn't think about him. That guy is the weakest guy even in the Red King's power, how could he become a heroic spirit."

"only……"

Not intending to communicate more with her, the girl with long dark green hair moved slightly, and with just one turn, most of her face was hidden in the dark shadows. From the angle of R, she could only vaguely see the girl A pointed chin and long dark green hair that hangs quietly.

"It's just that I can't help but want to ask - how many of these heroes who have been sung by the world have saved the entire world? And can the person who saved countless parallel time and space get the so-called 'heroic spirit'? name?"

——The golden sword fell heavily, the crimson crystal spear and the golden yellow spear intertwined, and the move was firmly caught with a "clang". Back off! r A few nimble ups and downs quickly landed on the Weiyuanchuan Bridge, and on the lake under his feet, the girl with blond hair and silver armor still had faint tears on her face, standing silently with her head down in the quiet above the water.Around her, the remaining power of the Sword of Promised Victory has not completely dissipated, but at this moment, whether it is in the eyes of R as the "enemy" or in her own eyes, these dazzling lights are no longer Her glory is but her—the ashes of pride.

Slightly closing his eyes, he sensed the source of magic power flowing slowly and orderly from the r, and confirmed that the girl was safe—however, he did not intend to tell anyone present about this.

"Draw your sword, Saber!"

The honey-colored golden pupil suddenly opened, and the crimson "Red Rose" in his hand pointed far away, and there was indescribable anger in the cold voice: "From the moment the golden sword in your hand swung down on my lord, it is you r is the biggest disregard and humiliation to me! Please use the sword in your hand to feel this anger...!"

(two)

"vomit……!"

Deep in the dark and dirty alley, a hunchbacked figure with white hair was bent over, his fingers were as thin as dead branches bent because of pain, and he was digging at the bricks and stones under the limestone on one side of the wall, his hair was like a wounded beast. growl.The man's fingertips were bald by the rough wall, and more than a dozen irregularly interlaced bloodstains on the masonry looked shocking, but the owner of these hands lowered his head, and vomited frantically a large puddle with wriggling and wriggling blood. After the worm's blood, there was a low, contented laugh.

"Look, look... Tokiomi..."

In the sky, the chaotic and frenzied Berserker is driving a dilapidated fighter. The crimson magic lines are eroding the body like burning magma. In the fierce battle with Archer, every attack and defense absorbs The only magic and life force left in a man.Like an anemic sacrificer who had cut his wrist, Matou Kariya's pale and thin face was filled with mad hatred. The curse-marked worm twisted its body and bit the flesh and blood under the man's skin. There was a strange ups and downs on his face; however, he didn't seem to feel it, laughing, screaming and cursing crazily, as if he could pour out all the unwillingness and resentment in his heart.

"The archer you are so proud of is being chased by my berserker like a bereaved dog! Come out, Tokiomi! You coward, coward...!"

"You deserve it, you deserve it! All of this is your predestined retribution! It's your retribution for abandoning Sakura and hurting Miss Aoi...!"

——It’s completely crazy, this man.

Standing in the shadow of the dark place behind the man, the beautiful woman with rose-like bright and beautiful short hair raised her eyebrows, watching Matou Kariya who was venting crazily, snorted softly in her heart: "Even if there is a legend about the origin of the Holy Grail" With the blood of "Yu Sanjia", Matou Yeyan is just a layman who became a monk halfway.And although she, as the second daughter, did not inherit the family's magic imprint, she is a graduate of the clock tower and a direct descendant of an ancient magician family like the Sophilia family. , is definitely more than enough.

That's right, saying "The Holy Grail War is far more cruel than you think", "This is not something you can handle"... That man Kenneth Meloy Archibald is nothing but a coward!He promised her to get r back for her, but in fact, he always used "the time was not enough" to shirk, which led to the woman from the Mirufiore family being killed by Saber, and her r died soon... Now He actually told her that compared to r, rider is more powerful, so he gave up the idea of ​​snatching r——Nine out of ten, nine out of ten, that woman Sanada Yui has died so that there is not even a bone left. Waiting for r to use up the last bit of magic power and fight to the death for that sinister and cunning despicable woman? !No, she refuses to allow this kind of thing...

However, this may also be an excellent opportunity.

Tightening her fist slightly, a bright red light flashed in Suo Lawei's beautiful eyes for a moment: r lost r now, and if she can get the command spell from r from the Matou family, then If I make a contract with r who has lost the source of magic power...

If Kenneth Archibald also successfully obtained the rider from the English kid from the Velvet family, given the man's obsession with him, as long as she tempts him a little bit, he will definitely do it for her willingly. pedal, offering the Holy Grail to her hands.That is the universal wishing machine that can grant any wish in the world... If you can get the Holy Grail...

If you can make a wish...

Since birth, she has existed as a victim of an ancient magic family's marriage for generations. Although Suolawei's fiancé is Kenneth Archibald, who is known as "the first genius of the clock tower", in the woman's heart, it is I deeply hate this fate.She will always remember that when she met that man for the first time, the former head of the Archibald family looked at her critically like how to measure goods, and then said, "Ah, very good As for the mother's body, it must be able to give birth to offspring with excellent talents."

And her father, Dean Sophilia, actually showed a proud and gratified smile because of this-she couldn't accept that her feelings were actually stipulated by such people for the sake of "excellent offspring". Words that praised her were harsher than any humiliating words in Suo Lawei's ears!

——This is not the life she wants, and Kenneth, who inherited all the thoughts and concepts of the old Patriarch Archibald, no matter how handsome his appearance and how talented he is, that is not the lover she wants !What she wants is, she wants people to be...!

r.

Just at first glance, through the eyes of the familiar, the moment she saw the man, she knew it was him.

【Please let this man belong to her and stay by her side forever】—From that moment on, she knew very clearly that she wanted to place her wish on the Holy Grail...

The dark black slender insect twisted its black and fat body, and its densely staggered tentacles and joints rubbed and collided with the carapaces of the same kind around it, making a soft rustling sound—even though the eyes could not see in the dark , but through this large area of ​​noisy and small rustling sounds that flowed like tides one after another, it was enough to judge how terrible the number of insects in the insect warehouse of Jiantong's house was.

The little girl with long light purple hair was completely naked, lying silently like a simulated doll in this sea of ​​insects, her eyes staring at the nothingness point above her head absentmindedly and powerlessly.From the initial fear and helplessness, crying and begging to the current numbness, the little girl who has officially changed her name to "Matou Sakura" stiffened her body motionless, letting the dense worms crawl back and forth on her body: It's less than four hours, grandpa said, this time I'm going to stay here for a whole week... Eh?

Because of being underground, and because the original magic power in her body was enhanced by the cursed insects, the little girl felt something called "crisis" almost immediately—and almost immediately after she sensed In the next second, with an earth-shattering roar, the cold and damp bricks and stones on the wall of the worm warehouse were instantly blown into ashes by the blue lightning ghost!After the frightened bugs were quiet for just half a second, they quickly accelerated their crawling speed as if they were soldiers inspired by something!Sakura was stunned for a moment, but before she could be surprised, she heard a familiar and old voice, as well as the signature rhythmic sound of the cane hitting the stone brick floor——

"Aren't you supposed to be a layman... would choose such a foolish way of fighting to rush into the magician's base camp?" He raised his crutches and then lowered them heavily, the old man's voice was faintly filled with deep disdain and sarcasm: " People who entered my worm warehouse, so far, there is no guy who can get out alive without my permission..."

"Ah, yes...that's really embarrassing."

The girl's voice, reckless with a hint of natural arrogance, approached little by little along with her unhurried footsteps, and finally stepped into this hell-like basement full of demonic insects.The scalp-numbing sound of insects crawling came from all directions, but the girl with dark green long hair didn't seem to hear it, and went straight to Zouken Matou, who was wearing a black baggy bathrobe and hunched over in front of her.

"Let's be honest, I'm not a person who likes to choose you as your opponent, a shriveled old man with one foot in the coffin... After all, I'm a guy who sees that his life is not long, and I can't bear it." Stop being a good man who is merciful." Gently clicked her tongue, the girl who is Mirufiore II said without changing her face, and then sighed softly: "But... Although I don't know what you used Way, as a human being, you stinky old man has lived a little too long, right?"

"Oh……"

Immediately felt the meaning of the girl's words, Matou Zouken quickly revealed a hale and hearty light from his skinny and sunken eye sockets like a mummy, showing a strange look with that old bark-like skin With an almost ferocious smile, "What do you mean by that?"

"Is it taking the body, or taking the life force like what was done to the little girl lying in the wormhole? Or, both?"

Without answering Matou Zouken's question, Yui lightly raised her hand, a miniature "White Thunder" flashed a blue-blue electric fire in the darkness, and sent a few insects beside her who were trying to get close to her under Zouken's control. Electricity into fly ash.Although she has resigned from Jinglingting... or should be said to have been "died" for a long time, she still completely retains all the abilities she has as a god of death, and the long light that fits her soul is still The out-and-out Zanpakutō—in any case, Mao is the fastest-graduating genius captain in history. She can tell at a glance whether the body and soul of the person in front of her are the same person.

To be more precise, the soul of the man in front of him, Zouken Matou, has been corrupted by magic and desire to the point where he almost lost his human form...Of course, Yui will never give up such a secret involving the source of his own abilities. Maybe I told Matou Zouken.

The only thing that is certain is.

He obviously has no magic blood, but he can see through his essence at a glance... Matou Zouken thought so, his fingers holding the cane, like dead branches, tightened slightly, and the killing intent in his heart became even stronger.

Although she doesn't think she is a good person, she originally wanted to blackmail Berserker with people from the Matou family (because Matou Kariya knew at a glance that he was not afraid of death, so he could only target the people around him ) to deal with the Saber camp for her such a despicable and shameless idea—but sure enough, after seeing such an old immortal who seizes other people's bodies to continue their lives and tortures innocent little girls, she still can't turn a blind eye... Sanada Yuyi thought so, Deep Blue A trace of self-mockery flashed very quickly in the dark eyes.

So if you insist on explaining this meaningless and ridiculous sense of anger and sense of justice at this time, there is really only one reason, and it will never fail.

"——I can't help it... If you let Yoni know that I let a scum like you do nothing, I will probably be angry and ignore you?"

(three)

The white fog on the Weiyuan River has not completely dissipated. In the cold night, the tall and red-haired King of Macedonia announced the letter of war loudly. Kenneth Archibald penetrated through the magic power condensed in his eyes The remaining magic fog stared at the childish boy who almost hid most of his body under the rider's thick crimson cloak.

Stealing Iskandil's holy relic from him, under the double pursuit of Archibald and Sophilia, even got the protection of the Mirufiore family and successfully arrived in Fuyuki, With that kind of superficial magical blood, he completed the summoning of Heroic Spirits by mistake... When Emiya Kiritsugu told him the news of the alliance between Mirufiore II and Weber, Kenneth's first reaction was ridiculous. The second reaction was the same as that of Emiya, thinking that R's r must have taken a fancy to the rider's ability - Weber can't compare with Sanada Yui in terms of ability or decisiveness. For that girl, the result of this alliance can almost be said is equivalent to getting the second one.

For Kenneth, attacking Weber in front of the rider is obviously not the most rational choice, but... r...he can see the continuous emergence of powerful enemies, and the Holy Grail War has already completed one-third of the way, if he If he can't get r's status as soon as possible, what's the point even if he wins the Holy Grail in the end?It's just an opportunistic method like Emiya Kiritsugu's.

Rider's high-pitched questioning voice fell, being so provocatively regarded as a magic prop by himself, Kenneth gritted his teeth tightly for a moment: waste is waste, it's nothing more than being pushed around, and he was even involved He also has to suffer this humiliation... The blond man couldn't help frowning when he thought that Suolawei might be watching somewhere nearby.

"Student Webber Velvet!"

Directly ignoring the rider's provocation, Kenneth deliberately used the magic of amplifying the sound so that others could not judge his current position from the direction of the source of the sound: "Although you are just the most delusional among my countless ineffective students, But if you can pass the entrance exam of the clock tower, you should be grateful and listen to the class."

Feeling the warmth and encouragement from the rider's big palm behind him, the shivering boy who had been lowering his head finally mustered up the courage to raise his head. Although the cold sweat on his forehead was still slowly oozing, Weber took a deep breath Afterwards, he slowly calmed down.

"I should have emphasized it to you stupid students countless times... As a summoner, if you can't completely control what you summon, the consequences will be so serious. After watching the farce of r, you don't need me. Say more?"

"ca, r..."

Suddenly thinking of that terrible and cruel scene, coupled with the fear of Kenneth and the guilt of stealing the holy relic, Weber's speech was a little incoherent for a while.Standing beside Weber, hearing the other party compare r to him, the Conqueror King's face was slightly solemn, but just when rider was about to speak again, he suddenly felt empty under his palm——The big red-haired man He lowered his head in surprise, but it was Weber who walked forward involuntarily.

"T-take back your words! rider...rider is not the same as r! I trust him!!"

Although he was still a little trembling, this was the first time in history that Weber really stood in front of the rider as an "r"!

Even though he was facing an opponent he feared from the bottom of his heart, but... "Kenneth Archibald, apologize to Rider!"

"whispering sound……!"

Accustomed to looking down at this student who is not even a fledgling student from the attitude of a superior, Kenneth never put the other party in the same position from the beginning, so in his opinion, Weber's request at this moment is inappropriate.Gritting his teeth fiercely and letting out a disdainful sneer, Kenneth had completely lost his patience.

"Don't become arrogant because you think you have it... Weber Velvet! The gap between you and me has been decided since birth!"

"...!" After being stabbed severely by Kenneth's words, the young Weber's body froze slightly.Hearing the man's wild words, the already extremely displeased rider said in a deep voice: "A mere magician... Do you think you can kill my r in front of me—"

"Then let me be your opponent, rider!"

Accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing and colliding, Archer's voice rang out proudly. Rider's eyebrows twitched slightly, and when he turned his head, he met the crimson eyes full of fighting intent on the displeased face of the Golden Heroic Spirit. Hitomi.

Due to Solavey's sneak attack, Matou Kariya, who was seriously injured, had to withdraw the magic power that supported Berserker's actions. The anger that was provoked by Berserker had nowhere to vent, and Archer turned his attention to the only one present who had no opponent. rider.

"What? Why are you looking at me like this... rider?"

Raising his hand slightly, golden ripples loomed behind Archer, "Don't you think, watching a duel between master and apprentice who hate each other...is a very interesting thing?" ()
