Different routes to the same goal

"……Oh."

After listening to Weber's speechless and out of breath narration with a blank face the whole time, the girl Yui sat in the passenger seat of the black bulletproof jeep she had just taken (from Emiya Kiritsugu) There was a full ten seconds of silence on the table, and her deep gaze swept over Weber's mess and Kenneth, who was dragging half on his back, who was not even strong enough to speak due to excessive blood loss.

"So why did the three of you fight Emiya Kiritsugu like this? I remember Rider is still a Heroic Spirit, right?"

Generally speaking, when encountering such an overwhelming situation, shouldn't it be the rider who beats Emiya Kiritsugu to the point where Weber eats melons beside him?Looking at this posture, could it be that Emiya Kiritsugu beat the two of them half to death under the rider's attack while the other was still in shock?I always feel that this scene in front of me is the worst time that the King of Conquerors was hacked before his death and before his death...

"It's because the Rs like to run around on their own initiative, that's why we Heroic Spirits have such a headache."

It was as if he hadn't seen the dumbfounded expression of the boy from the alliance opposite him at all. To everyone's surprise, it was r who sat in the driver's seat and always obeyed You's orders.Although it is not as good as Saber who has the name of "Knight King", most of the heroic spirits will be endowed with most of the common sense and knowledge of the real world by the Holy Grail when they come to the world, so Dang Youyi hastily dealt with it with the little spiritual power he finally saved Wound then jumped into the driver's seat and was about to start the car, the black-faced gun hero did not hesitate to pick up his restless Miss R, and threw him on the passenger seat without rejection.

The resentment in R's tone was so strong that it could be materialized, even someone as dull as Weber could clearly feel it.The air in the jeep froze for just a few seconds at that moment, touched the blood on the back of his head that hadn't completely dried, Yuyi felt an inexplicable guilty conscience, and decided not to turn back until the resentment on r disappeared To see the man's face.

"Where did you run around just now", "I searched for you around the church", "I was so scared that I didn't even chase after Emiya Kiritsugu"... When the rider appeared again When everyone was in sight, such words were written all over the bronze face covered with a big crimson beard.Yui Sanada and Weber looked at the big Macedonian man in front of them in a daze, and they almost turned their heads to look at R, but the second they came into contact with R's stern gaze, the girl Yuyi quickly turned away pretending that she didn't see anything. turned back.

"Speaking of which, when this king chased and killed Emiya Kiritsugu before, that guy didn't summon Saber to stop him? Well, after all, that guy is the one who can even summon R..." After confirming that Weber is safe and sound, rider The conversation changed, and while stroking the big dark red beard on his chin with his big palm, he gave Yuyi a playful look: "If I remember correctly, that guy should still have a Command Seal?"

"Hmph...there is a Command Seal, if I'm not wrong, the scene of the Holy Church Church is probably his work, which means that he has at least obtained a Command Seal from Kotomine Risei. "The girl with dark green long hair said so, stretching out her hand and straightening the cuff on her wrist intentionally or unintentionally, "But it's a pity, no matter how many Command Seals there are, it's useless without them."

In a critical moment, using a command spell in an emergency can summon thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye to save his life - this is probably why Kotomine Kirei was strangling Yui so tightly before. neck prevents her from giving orders.What he thought and did was indeed extremely safe, but it was a pity that r was too close to the battlefield of the two, and he was extremely worried about his own r's state, which made his plan come to nothing.

"'there is none left'……"

Although after witnessing Emiya Kiritsugu's embarrassment, the rider already had a rough guess in his heart, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh for that heroic, supremely noble king of knights: "Is that so, I never imagined that the little girl Saber would lose to the hands of Berserker like this... well, being summoned and dispatched by a man like Emiya Kiritsugu, she has been forced to do things that run counter to her will ever since she came into the world. Things, for a king like Saber who is steadfast in his ideals and chivalry, this may be a relief."

"Although I heard from Weber that Saber, Archer, and R are the three strongest knights in the Holy Grail War, but I have to say that a heroic spirit with such a noble nature who cannot tolerate the slightest contamination of despicableness, and a killer like Emiya Kiritsugu are really good." It's because the compatibility is too low. It can be said that meeting each other is a kind of misfortune for the two of them, which strongly limits the performance of the two of them, especially Saber..." Yuyi suddenly paused slightly when she said this , the fingers that had just tidied up the cuffs lightly rested on the rolled down car window, caressing a place where the paint was scraped off by the black keys in the melee just now, "Besides that, , Rider, Mr. Weber, since you don’t seem to understand the current situation, as an alliance, I feel that it is necessary to introduce the current battle situation to you.”

"As the rider guessed just now, Saber has already been defeated by Berserker; and after that, my r has also defeated Knight Lancelot, the so-called Berserker; as for Archer, he has also been defeated by me in the city. Center beat."

"Hit, defeated... archer?!" This is the young Weber sitting in the back seat of the jeep. He grabbed Yui's passenger seat immediately after hearing the girl's words, with a look of wishing to put the girl's entire body Turning over to confirm, "This, is it so powerful, Ms. Yui?!"

"Did you kill... Archer?"

Unlike Weber who couldn't grasp the point at all, and walked down from the tall chariot, the expression on the rider's face that was originally sighing for Saber disappeared in this instant.He walked to the side of the jeep and stared deeply at the dark green long-haired girl's deep ocean-like pupils. The next second, the car door beside Weber was pulled open by the big man.

"r, rider?"

Still not clear about the situation in front of him, Wei Bo looked at his own actions with some surprise, "This, this is going to..."

"Mr. Velvet, Kenneth Archibald and his fiancée Miss Sophilia, please don't worry. Although it's just some logistics personnel, a helicopter from my dignified Mirufiore family still needs to be transferred. Affordable——When my subordinates arrive later, I will arrange for the two of them to prepare for first aid immediately and return to Europe with the little girl named 'Sakura' from Matou's family as quickly as possible. Magician Hospital for treatment.”

The smile that had always been on his face receded, and the girl spoke extremely polite social words. Such a strange feeling finally made Weber vaguely aware of something: "Miss Yui, why are you all suddenly..."

"Mr. Velvet."

He raised his voice, this time, the person who interrupted the young man's words was always polite r, the handsome black-haired spear knight looked at the young man with alienation and helplessness in his eyes: "Don't you understand? ? The rider and my r have made their attitude very clear."

"Among the spirits participating in this Holy Grail War, Assassin, R, Archer, Saber, and Berserker have all been defeated... that is to say, now, except for me, R and Rider, all of them have lost their qualifications to compete for the Holy Grail."

Weber's finger on Yui's back seat subconsciously loosened in r's harsh words. He raised his head and looked at the rearview mirror of the jeep. The dark green long-haired girl's expression was quiet and silent, as if she had expected it to everything.

【Until there are only two of us left in the Holy Grail War, I will abide by the covenant—】

And just now, knowing that the covenant was over, the girl in front of her still took him in, and even promised to send Archibald and Miss Sophilia back to Europe safely.Everything she has done has already exceeded her promise, and she is benevolent and righteous.

"Then, let's part ways here."

As if making the final conclusion, the rider's heavy and thick voice was like a rest symbol, completely marking the end of the agreement of the Lancer Alliance.

If the two sides hit it off at the beginning, then the current situation can be called one hit and two parts.Now that the rider said so, Sanada Yui also simply pressed the lift button of the car window—unexpectedly at this moment, the young Weber who had been stunned to the side seemed to wake up suddenly, and snapped The car window that was about to close on the side of the girl!If Youyiyan hadn't let go of the button quickly, the boy's fingers would have been pinched off by Qi Gen!

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"Parting ways or something, this kind of thing... I absolutely don't agree——!!!"

(two)

Startled by the boy's sudden and resolute negative voice, Rider and R were a little stunned for a moment, and then the two of them looked at the dark green long-haired girl in the car window in unison in their next move.There was a faint look of surprise on Yuyi's slightly tilted cheek, but it was a very short moment after all. From Wei Bo's perspective, she just raised her eyebrows slightly, without even blinking her eyes. one time.

But even though the girl didn't say anything, Weibo also knew that she was waiting—waiting for him to give a reason enough for her to give up the idea of ​​parting ways with him and rider.In the final analysis, the veto he just opened his mouth was a masterpiece of his mouth faster than his brain. Even Weber himself was startled by his inexplicable firmness.

Why not agree to part ways?Rather than saying that he disagrees, it is better to say that after forming an alliance with group r for so long, he has already been unable to regard Yui Sanada and r as opponents, right?It's as if at this moment he no longer regards himself as an "r" higher than rider.In front of the three people in front of him, he was originally the most indecisive and timid one, but at this moment, he was watching the three whose lives were intersected with his own eyes... Well, r is not a particularly familiar feeling... Then let's talk about the two most important friends. Seeing that Rider and Yui Sanada decided to cut off the covenant and turn to confrontation in just a few seconds, Weber's inexplicable discomfort almost rushed out of his chest.

"R of the rider," seeing that Weber was hesitant to speak, R, who was sitting on the other side of Youyi, turned his head. Although the words still retained the politeness of a knight, they were more of a clear alienation between the enemy and the enemy, "You should still You haven’t forgotten our purpose of participating in the Holy Grail War, right? The universal wishing machine that belongs to the winner, there is only one Holy Grail, and this is the reason why we wait to fight again.”

After a brief pause, R's gaze slowly moved from Weber to the tall and mighty King Conqueror behind the young man, and his slightly raised voice could not conceal the provocation: "If the two of you can't remember, then I don't mind talking about it later. once again..."

"—[Since my lord wants the Holy Grail, then naturally I will win it for her! This is also the meaning and value of my being summoned by the Holy Grail]!"

The oath of r at the king's night banquet in the courtyard of Einzbern Castle is still in my ears, and this upright and loyal knight has never forgotten his original intention.The memory of being hated and even betrayed by the lord during his lifetime tortured Diarmuid on the Throne of Heroes, he regretted, he blamed himself... So when the Holy Grail asked him about his wish to stay here, Diarmuid promised He made a completely different wish from other Heroic Spirits: this time, no matter whether it is honor or love, he wants nothing but to dedicate his complete loyalty to the lord of this world, and help him win the Holy Grail and fulfill his wish .

As for Sanada Yui, he originally thought that this girl r was the Holy Grail's ridicule and teasing of him again, but in fact, no matter whether it was the strategy and courage far beyond ordinary people, the powerful strength that was almost against the sky, or she did not lose at all. Giving him the mind and courage of any king in his cognition, made r convinced again and again: the final winner of this Holy Grail War is definitely none other than her.

Therefore, at this last moment, he will definitely not allow anyone to shake her victory.

Sensing R's oncoming hostility, Weber subconsciously tightened his fingers on the window glass.The rider standing behind him also frowned immediately, he stretched out a big hand to support his shoulder, just about to say something to refute him, but suddenly stopped there.

Not fear, not a trace of confusion—under the rider's palm, there was no trembling that the tall servant thought it would be, but it was calmer than ever.He did not evade r's aggressive question, nor was he at all irritated by the man's provocative declaration afterwards. The boy just breathed a sigh of relief, and met r's slightly hostile scrutiny seriously: "then, As long as our interests are in agreement, won't you be so opposed to continuing the alliance?"

What r never expected was that his stern rhetoric just now did not scare off the young man, but prompted an extremely bold idea to take shape in Weber's mind instantly: "Sanada Yui... If possible, I am willing to give up the Holy Grail to give r The opportunity to make a wish, I will give it to you..."

Filling the small space of the car, with a faint smell of blood lingering at the tip of his nose, Weber climbed onto the car window, staring closely at the car window as if he was trying to spy on a world completely different from the place he was in. Lived in Yui Sanada.The bloody battlefield, the intrigues, and the time spent wandering on the edge of life and death are only a few days, but it is enough to make this little boy with ridiculous ambitions grow up at the speed of light.Recalling this period of time many years later, although Weber, who had become El-Melloi II at that time, was extremely disgusted that the leader of Mirufiore compared him to Alice who had strayed into Wonderland, he never denied it. I used to be naive and foolish.It was just a small greedy thought, catalyzed by the young man's unwillingness and delusion, he entered this battlefield that belonged to the top of the world's magicians and powerhouses with a ridiculous posture like a toddler. He didn't even know that if he retreated from this war, he would already be the biggest winner.

——This, even now, he still doesn't know.But everything that he has experienced in the past few days has also completely transformed the boy.Those ridiculous thoughts full of youthful spirit were swept away. Although he still couldn't see the shadows clearly, Weber already understood that in this Holy Grail War, he was more precious than victory and so-called recognition. What is the thing.

"However, this does not mean that I will hand over the Holy Grail—that would be too unfair to the rider. So, so... since r's wish is only for Miss Yui to fulfill your wish, then...then In exchange, please give the rider the chance to make a wish!"

And, what can be compromised and what should be fought for.

(three)

There were a few thin clouds faintly floating in the night sky, and the moonlight was engulfed by the clouds like water, only a little fell down, and then filtered through the broken slanted window of the Holy Church, this night of killings full of despair unexpectedly At this time, a bit of weird softness appeared.

It's just that I don't know what kind of cruel scene this night fell in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes?Or maybe he's already used to despair and doesn't feel anything at all.

"Emiya Kiritsugu... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

When Wei Bo heard the name again, there was an undisguised expression of astonishment on Wei Bo's face, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly stepped on the air and fell down quickly. The rider behind him was very skillful. A lift brought back the boy who had already fallen half of his body into the ground—so when Yui Sanada and R looked over, they happened to see the boy Weber being held by the collar by the rider. His hands didn't know whether it was because of panic or She was ashamed and tightly covered her face, just dangling in mid-air like this...

"I always feel that Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't need to do it himself if he wants to kill you..."

"But, damn it! What do you mean by what you said just now... Anyway, hurry up and forget about the accident just now!!!"

Being put on the ground by the speechless rider, Weber originally thought that according to Yui's narrow temper, he would continue to hurt himself with a few words to regain the initiative he was persuaded by him before. After all, the girl's character has never been empathetic and low-key. temper.But to his surprise, instead of seizing this opportunity to make fun of him, the girl squatted down with a slight "huh" and pressed the crumbling ground beside her feet with one hand.The overall architectural structure of the Holy Church can be said to be very stable, but in just a few days, after Emiya Kiritsugu mercilessly burned, Saber, Berserker, and R made great efforts on the walls and roof. Fist and kick, and finally withstood the heavy blow from the rider's golden bulldozer... The secret basement supported by reinforced concrete and fixed barriers was finally revealed.

"Zi la la..." Accompanied by a slight electric sound, Yui Sanada tentatively stretched out his hand towards the ground, and seemed to touch some rock-solid obstacle at an arm's distance from the ground of the church.

"The ground, the basement?" Carefully approaching the edge of the crack in the ground, Weber tried several times to reach out his hand like Yui, but in the end the boy with extremely poor balance gave up the idea, "Could it be?" What's down there... Judging from the strength of the magic power fluctuations, this should be Kotomine's magic workshop, right? Generally speaking, it would be very troublesome to remove the magic barrier of this protective structure..."

"Irisviel von Einzbern, the Holy Grail...I see."

Although from the beginning, he only participated in the so-called Holy Grail War by focusing on the cup of miracles in the oriental legend, but fundamentally, a doubt that always existed in Yuyi's heart was finally solved at this moment.Among the documents she can collect, perhaps out of the protection of the magic of the "Three Houses", when introducing the Holy Grail War, it is only as "the Tohsaka family provides the source of magic power and derives it from the leylines, Einz The Beren family made the Holy Grail, and the Matou family developed a command spell system that can contact and forcibly command Heroic Spirits" as an explanation.Among them, the most puzzling link for Youyi is "the Holy Grail made by the Einzbern family".After all, from the beginning of the Holy Grail War to the present, the magic source of the Tohsaka family has completed the miracle of the heroic spirits in this world. The command spell system of the Matou family is actually engraved on the back of each r's hand, and only Einzbern can do it. The created Holy Grail entity has never been seen.

Why did Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel get off the plane empty-handed while representing Einzbern, but Tokiomi Tohsaka and Zouken Matou didn't care?Why can Emiya Kiritsugu, the castle that is the base of Einzbern, just throw it away?Why did Irisviel give her a very different feeling from the beginning?

Where is the entity of the Holy Grail?

[Although I have tried my best to learn human emotions, but sure enough, there are some things that I can't learn, right? 】

——Thinking about it now, when Irisviel's conscious soul intertwined with her prophetic dream, the woman with silver hair and red pupils had actually given the answer.

The Tohsaka family is good at gem magic, the Matou family uses engraved insects to fight, and the Einzbern family stands at the pinnacle of alchemy magic.

Alchemy magic... human body alchemy.As Einzbern's artificial human, Irisviel is not only the source of Saber's magic power, but also Einzbern's humanoid weapon, and finally, the carrier of the Holy Grail.

Despair blooms and lives toward death.From the very beginning, Irisviel's fate was already doomed. She knew Emiya Kiritsugu's ideals and her own ending, but for the sake of the so-called "world peace", she chose to kill herself for the one who was destined to kill herself for the world. Fighting with the man who is the best... At this moment, Yui couldn't help but think of Yuni who died calmly.

Thinking about it this way, Yui could understand why Emiya Kiritsugu would not withdraw from the Holy Grail War despite Saber's death.Gambling everything he owns and cherishes, this man is absolutely determined to win the Holy Grail and will never die.

"Below...the one in the basement is probably Irisviel who was abducted and killed by Kotomine Kirei, or in other words, Irisviel who has become the carrier of the Holy Grail."

But what if you understand?Emiya Kiritsugu had his reasons for not dying, and she Sanada Yui also had her reasons for not dying.

Gently flexing his fingers and pinching the torn bricks and stones under his feet, something suddenly lit up in the deep blue eyes of the dark green long-haired girl.Yui didn't look at Wei Bo, who was so startled by her own words that she couldn't find her tongue, she stood up. When she turned to R, all the complex and unspeakable expressions had already been covered up on her face, leaving only a calm indifference .

"Instead of being like a headless chicken, looking for the mechanism and entrance of the basement in this holy church, which is probably full of magic traps, whether it's Emiya Kiritsugu or Kotomine Kirei... Weber, I can't think of you Your luck is really good, this time I and r borrowed all of your money r!"

"I understand, Velvet-kun, please step back with r."

Effortlessly received the exact order from the girl's simple waving movement, R nodded knowingly, raised his wheat-colored arm wrapped in dark green armor, and a bright crimson light extended from his palm. Then, the "Demon-breaking Red Rose" drew a semicircular arc in midair.

"Eh, eh? What does 'good luck' mean? Why did r suddenly..."

Startled by the situation in front of him, Weber took two steps back. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the black-haired, golden-eyed spear knight holding the crimson slender red rose tightly, and he had already gathered his energy to take a stance—the next step Second r, the whole person soared into the sky like a giant eagle with wings spread, and instantly turned into a dot!Feeling that the wind flowing around was suddenly driven up, Weber looked up subconsciously, and saw that all of R's figures seemed to be ignited and melted into a crimson spot. A point in time immediately reversed, and the crimson point wrapped around it swept down and swung down, pouring towards the crack under his feet!Hearing a loud bang, Weber felt a violent tremor under his feet, and the shattered pieces of mural paint on the church dome crackled down along with the dust, and the young man was choked and coughed.

"Let's go."

The girl's fair and slender arms waved lightly in the dusty air, and the smoke dispersed, revealing the firm face of the dark green long-haired girl with a few scratches.Without hesitation, he kicked a falling rock in front of him, Yuyi didn't seem to feel how fragile the floor under his feet was after r's blow, and walked straight to the hole, stepping on the edge of the black crack and bowed his head towards look down.

No, that's not it... Seeing the girl bent down, supporting the edge of the hole with one hand, and leaping sideways without hesitation, Wei Bo's eyes went dark for an instant, and he almost lost his breath.

— This great aunt!He just managed to hold back and didn't fall with the help of the rider. How could you... Well, he knows that r's magic-breaking gun can directly destroy the barrier formed by magic power!But at least give him, an ordinary person, some time for mental construction...

This time, it's still the familiar feeling of suspension, or the familiar feeling of the hand... What the hell is the hand feeling? !Why did he seem to be picked up all of a sudden? !Why does he seem to be getting closer to the hole? !Why does he seem to be falling... the soul of rider, let him wait for a while! ! !

"Well, I really like the choice of this path! Let's go, kid!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!"

……

Until Weber's screams disappeared underground, the entire Holy Church fell into silence again.After half a minute of dead silence, the waste rock piled up in the corner suddenly moved slightly, and a big hand covered in calluses and blood stains stretched out with difficulty, and pushed it away violently at random. On the rocks above, the black figure seemed to be able to surface after diving in the deep sea for a long time, and it couldn't wait to make a hasty and heavy moaning sound.

Ally.

He was obviously weak to the limit, but when Sanada Yui said that Ari was in the basement, Emiya Kiritsugu's limbs were reinfused with strength as if a dying traveler saw the oasis again.

Allie...was waiting for him.

Right here, right here underground.

— Wherever, whether in life or death. ()
