Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

As the largest city Kallen has ever seen, Tokyo has a hustle and bustle consistent with its status, and the difference between night and day cannot overshadow it. But when I came to the church where I stayed overnight and saw the hurried footsteps of the clergy, I Even Joan of Arc, who was a bit stupid by nature, realized something was wrong.

The impact of the same news in different cities is completely different. A gas explosion will cause subtle changes in the calm atmosphere of Fuyuki City. Schools will be dismissed early and the city will be issued a curfew.

But in Tokyo, this could at best be regarded as an accident that other strangers besides the person involved would not even respond with a sigh.

Karen didn't take much effort to read the news on the news.

——Shinjuku gas explosion incident.

Last night, the natural gas sleeping underground was ignited for some reason, causing several kilometers of surrounding areas to be blown up. Today, Shinjuku has issued an evacuation notice, and only a few residents are still living there.

It is said that the flames last night have burned into the sky. Many residents have seen the strange scene of day and night reversal, and some people swear that the sky has turned blood red.

However, after deploying the police force next door and the heavily armed team arrived at the severely damaged scene, they did not see any remaining flames. However, this question was still dismissed by the host.

With the scene environment strictly sealed off, even if there were really bad actors, they would not be able to collect evidence that the police themselves had not found. Now that the police have announced it to the outside world, the matter has been completely concluded, and the remaining The only value is just as a talking point.

"This is, the Holy Grail War..."

Looking at the news picture, even hundreds of kilograms of bombs could not be reproduced. Compared with a gas explosion, it looked more like a huge crater caused by a missile washing the ground. Kallen murmured to herself.

"This is only the first night. Judging from the scale of the disaster, it is almost the same as the decisive battle in Fuyuki City recorded in the records."

Kallen subconsciously pressed the back of her hand, remembering the command spell wrapped under the holy corpse cloth, and sighed softly.

"Master, I will protect you."

As if aware of Kallen's emotions, a gentle female voice sounded next to Kallen.

The girl with golden braids was wearing a uniform similar to that of a high school student. She was also staring at the crater, but her expression was a little dull.

"Just the first battle has caused such consequences. If we don't find out the anomaly behind this Holy Grail War quickly, this city will definitely be destroyed."

"ruler..."

Kallen turned her head, looked at Jeanne's heroic face, and nodded thoughtfully.

After these few days of tutoring, she also knew what kind of job this was.

Only in bad situations that are not normal and may cause the world to distort, saints like them who have no desires and desires will fall into the whirlpool of desire.

As a rank outside the seat, the existence of Joan of Arc was enough for Kallen to understand the seriousness of the problem, the unscrupulous heroic spirits, the huge Tokyo, and the Holy Grail that had been eliminated but suddenly appeared.

No matter how you look at it, it has an ominous atmosphere, and the fact is just as Joan of Arc feared, it was so exaggerated on the first night, and the staff of the Holy Church have been busy trying to reduce the influence of this incident.

However, although this kind of movement is covered up on the surface, for those who know the magic way, this kind of movement is as conspicuous as a light in the dark night. In the future, there will definitely be various forces coming here to spy on them. The existence will only make the situation more hopelessly fall into chaos.

However, facing such an imminent crisis, Kallen's heart remained unmoved, and she even wanted to laugh a little.

When she learned that Roland, the biggest anomaly, had also joined the Holy Grail War, it was difficult for Kallen to feel nervous about this crisis. Kallen, who had been deeply connected to Roland many times, knew very well what was hidden in that body. The horror.

Compared with the destruction of the world, even if this city is completely destroyed, it is just a trace in history that is not worth mentioning... It cannot be said that, after all, this may also be the beginning of the Apocalypse.

"Master, have you thought of anything?"

Because the emotions in Kallen's eyes were too strong, Jeanne also retracted her gaze from the TV and looked at her Master in confusion.

"I was just thinking about why the legendary saint was summoned by a being like me."

Kallen shook her head, without blinking, and quickly asked the question she just thought of to divert Jeanne's attention.

"Saint girl or something...I am just an ordinary girl. Without the Lord's revelation, there is no difference between me and other believers. Moreover, our essences are very close."

That gentle and humble tone made it impossible for Karen to associate her with the girl in history who joined the army to save the country. Because of human desires, she achieved such a tragic ending, and there was not even a trace of resentment on her face.

Such a pure and pious gesture made Kallen sincerely unhappy.

However, Joan of Arc's words still aroused her interest. Is it possible to summon this ruler not because of her status as a nun or a believer, but because of her essence?

"Although you look the same on the outside, let me ask you first, are you indeed a holy virgin?"

"Woo!"

Joan of Arc's face was instantly filled with a burning blush, and she let out a mournful sound like an electric shock. Her face was full of shyness and panic.

"This, this, this... this is so rude!"

She suddenly glanced to the side, watching carefully in case any suspicious person passed by and accidentally overheard the conversation just now.

Although she had experienced it once during her lifetime, even if Joan of Arc was very gentle, she couldn't bear to announce this kind of thing loudly in public.

"It's a really easy to understand reaction, so there shouldn't be any problem with the authenticity of this matter," Kallen held her chin up in thought. "So, have you ever been useful?"

"Hey, what did you use?"

Kallen's reaction was so calm that Jeanne subconsciously fell into her rhythm and replied blankly.

"That's it, auxiliary props, such as wooden sticks, or..."

As if she was afraid that Joan wouldn't understand, Karen made a ring shape with one hand and threaded her index finger through it.

"Ahhhhh!"

This hint and the knowledge given by the Holy Grail made Joan understand everything immediately. She shook her head suddenly and stopped Kallen's subsequent words with a scream. Her long braid was swaying behind her, like It's like throwing away all those strange knowledge.

"No, she is truly a holy virgin."

Looking at Jeanne's red eyes filled with tears, Kallen roughly understood the other person's nature, shook her head regretfully, and looked at Jeanne with some pity.

"In this way,...it's really hard on you."

For some reason, when seeing Karen's expression, Jeanne felt a deeper sense of shame.

"Although I do not have any fate in this area...but the purity of this body is kept for the purpose of dedicating it to the Lord! It is not because I can't find the man I like..."

For Kallen, who always relied on her deep poisonous tongue skills to win every dispute among many outstanding women, the saint's helpless struggle was just a joke.

Kallen didn't say a word in rebuttal. She just looked at Jeanne with loving eyes and nodded in confirmation of her words. The highlight in the saint's eyes gradually faded and turned into a broken look. .

Finally, Joan of Arc squatted down and curled up into a ball.

This scene brought a satisfied smile to Kallen's cold face. She patted Jeanne's head gently and comforted her.

"Don't be sad, fate is doomed. You just came a little late, and you have the potential to be popular. I also kind of understand why you said that my essence is similar to yours."

"Well……"

After the heartbreaking silence lasted for a while, and after taking a few deep breaths, Jeanne finally calmed down a bit and raised her head again.

"By the way, since you are similar to me, the type that is more suitable for you should also be tough and self-centered. You will not be willing to give charity to people who don't care even at a glance. Even if you care about people, they will only do it after they are satisfied. The kind of man who gives you a touch of tenderness.”

"What's so good about that kind of man? Doesn't it sound rude and excessive?"

"That's it. It's perfect for a saint like you who likes to sacrifice one's life for righteousness and dedicate everything. I happen to know a qualified candidate. Do you want to introduce him to you?"

"Eh……"

Joan was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to think about the possibility of this incident, the sound of bells outside made her realize that this was not an ordinary chat with friends, but the interlude of the Holy Grail War.

"Wait a minute! Master, don't change the subject again. Weren't we still discussing the Holy Grail War just now? We should be discussing strategy now, right?"

"Really?" Kallen tilted her head cutely, looking like she lacked real sense. "However, there is nothing we can do now. Although you are a non-standard class, you do not have the privileges of a ruler because you are not summoned by the Holy Grail independently, but as a contestant."

As the referee of a dangerous job like the Holy Grail War, the ruler can not only see through the true name of each heroic spirit, but also has an additional command spell that can command the heroic spirit twice, independent of the master.

But today's Joan of Arc does not have this kind of privilege, and her Noble Phantasm is also a very subtle existence. Although one of them is very excellent in defense, it cannot perform any attacks. Although the other has a very powerful attack, it cannot It doesn't look like something that can be used in daily life.

Therefore, although the current Joan of Arc has very good attributes, in a real battle, she will only become a mediator in name only.

"With your current power, Ruler, no matter from which angle we look at it, we can only wait and see what happens, and then look for the right time to find out the mastermind as the battle intensifies."

"I am a useless servant..."

Joan of Arc lowered her head in shame again, her eyes that had just been ignited were about to turn gray again.

But this time, Kallen did not let her continue to blame herself.

"Then, let us do something truly meaningful during this time."

"Meaningful things? Master, what do you mean?"

Jeanne raised her head in confusion and looked at Kallen with a solemn expression.

"money."

Karen took out an envelope and shook it gently.

"Although I am currently working as a nun, I also have my own interests and often buy stockings and toys, so I don't have much left. And to be honest, I usually pay very little attention to this aspect, so I don't have much savings. not much."

She didn't lie. She really didn't care about this aspect. Although Roland was very generous, the girl would basically use this request to unlock new gameplay. Occasionally she would ask for some precious collectibles on a whim. As for cash, it was just a one-time request. Never asked for it.

"The round trip fare has been prepared in advance, and the accommodation can also be borrowed through the relationship with the Holy Church. This can be regarded as saving this cost, but the problem is, the ruler is your appetite."

After straightening her gorgeous silver hair and looking at Jeanne who was listening attentively, Karen's deep golden pupils showed a hint of joy.

"Because my own qualifications are not outstanding, you need to eat to replenish your magic power, so I am very good at eating. I need to eat at least 20,000 yen a day. If there is a battle, it will start at 50,000 yen. Considering the Holy Grail War It has just begun, our current economic situation is really bad, so it is urgent to find a job.”

"I understand that adequate logistics are indispensable in victory. Please give me your orders, Master!"

Jeanne nodded seriously, acknowledging this.

"Among the jobs I have access to, the church is the most generous. As long as we can successfully recruit qualified believers, it will be more than enough to supply our consumption in the Holy Grail War."

"Do you want to convey the glory of the Lord to the world?" Joan of Arc showed a clear look, "Please leave it to me. Although my leadership skills may not be outstanding, I still have some confidence in this aspect."

"Since you don't have any objections, it's easy." Karen paused and said expressionlessly, "Then, please put this on first."

After saying that, the silver-haired girl took out a nun's uniform and black garters as if by magic.

"Excuse me... what is this costume?"

"Necessary preaching clothing. In modern times, this kind of attire can attract the most attention."

"If that's the case, forget about the nun's uniform... But this silk fabric is really shameful, and it will be covered anyway, so there's no problem if you don't wear it."

"Too naive," Kallen glanced at Jeanne with contempt, her devilish golden pupils shining with determination. "A nun's uniform without garters cannot be considered a qualified nun at all! This tightly covered mystery is where people's yearning and hope for faith reside."

"I feel like Master, you have a deep misunderstanding about nuns. In short, I don't know how to dress." Hearing this, Joan shook her head helplessly, "I can also make money with just ordinary clothes." Task."

"But this is just completion, right?"

Kallen tapped her finger on her cheek, looking troubled.

"What does it mean?"

"Didn't I say that I want to lead you to do some truly meaningful things and spread the glory of the Lord through real saints? While earning basic living expenses for us, can't we use all the extra money? Have you donated it?”

Kallen said with a smile.

"Ruler, you have also seen that the people who were forced to leave during that battle, the destroyed buildings, and the people who may die later, faith can only appease their hearts. To truly help them, you still have to rely on certainty. Although it may not be possible to recover all the materials, as a participant, I also want to do something."

"If you rely on the power of heroic spirits, you might be able to call on everyone to help these people in trouble. Don't you think so? Obviously, ruler, you may also be one of the causes of the disaster."

"No, I..."

Providing help to those in need as much as humanly possible is the true kindness that the Holy Lady has always believed in. Suddenly being aroused by such righteous words, her heart was immediately filled with guilt and self-blame.

If you just wear it inside and don't let others see it, then this level of sacrifice can save the people...

In this mood, Joan couldn't help but hesitate when looking at the pair of garters.

Taken the bait.

Seeing Joan's changed expression, Kallen's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, as she thought, Ruler was not only illiterate, but because he still retained the simplicity of a country girl, he would unconsciously trust his own words when facing unknown things.

There is obviously no necessary connection between wearing this outfit and attracting believers. It is just a habit of Kallen based on her and Roland's preferences.

Unexpectedly, she succeeded by accident. Karen is confident that as long as Joan of Arc takes a step here, then when facing Roland, this dedication will make her abandon those unnecessary worries and everything. It will all be a matter of course.

I really want to see the depraved expression of the Holy Lady.

Kallen smiled happily and spoke the final words.

"Ruler, you don't want to see those people displaced by the disaster, right?"

——

In the workshop, Tohsaka Rin, who was alone, took a deep breath and frowned.

Compared with yesterday's strange experience of walking in the shadows, what really worried her was the increasingly distant victory and her sister.

This Holy Grail War has completely broken the rules. In Tohsaka Rin's vision, the Knight King with her as the master, coupled with the existence of Avalon, can not guarantee the final victory, but she can only enter the finals. This kind of thing should be more than enough.

But I didn't expect such a result. Whether it's Karna or Scathach, they all look better than Saber in one-on-one situations. Even if they don't have to target themselves as their master, I'm afraid they can get the final result. victory.

Tohsaka Rin didn't want to complain. Until now, she was very satisfied with Saber and didn't regret at all that she didn't summon Ishtar.

Forget about Roland, he really couldn't beat the Archer and Lancer. Tohsaka Rin believed that at least half of the reason was because of the master gap. Saber, who had both offense and defense, was already a perfect heroic spirit. This was completely a crime other than fighting.

Under such a cruel reality, Tohsaka Rin had to learn from his father and think about something more distant.

The reason why she came to participate in this Holy Grail War was not only to make a desperate move, but also to a large extent to inherit her father's will. She wanted to wash away the shame of the Tohsaka family's initial defeat. This was her unavoidable responsibility as the head of the family.

But Sakura was different. That child didn't have to bear anything. She shouldn't have participated in such a cruel killing field.

Roland would not be cruel to her, but would others definitely do the same? There was still no movement from the remaining riders. Thinking of the possibility of being separated from his sister again, Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but worry.

"As expected... before starting the next battle, we should find out where Sakura is and let her exit and return to Fuyuki as soon as possible. She will still summon the heroic spirit on the Argonauts, which should be Hercules. , the only remaining classes are berserker and assassin, so saber should be fine."

Rin Tosaka stood up, clenched his fists, and spoke softly as if to cheer himself up.

"whee……"

And as she spoke her words, a laughter so innocent that it seemed to have a rich sweetness sounded in her ears.

"The love between sisters is really touching. They are so in touch with each other that I'm a little touched."

"who is it!"

Rin Tosaka asked sternly, and while speaking, he instinctively activated the command spell in his hand. To be able to invade the depths of the basement workshop even though Saber was in the room above, except for the servants, No one can do this.

But her body stopped acting on its own initiative. The thought of summoning Saber had just arisen in her brain. Before she could react, it was melted away and forgotten in the depths of her memory. She knew it was extremely against the law. , but she just couldn't break free from it.

And the initiator of all this finally appeared in front of Tohsaka Rin.

It was so clear that it seemed to be transparent, with a charming purple luster under the limited light, and the silver hair was as crystal clear as the moonlight.

Between a young girl and a young girl, her petite body is as light and fluttering as petals, and she wears a luxurious purple dress decorated with gold ornaments.

Her snow-white skin glowed with a sensational and beautiful cream-colored luster under this delicate gauze garment.

She may look as young as a blank sheet of paper and inexperienced in the world, but the girl in front of Tohsaka Rin is filled with a completely opposite sense of luxury and a temptation that makes people want to abandon all desires and pounce on her.

Childhood and maturity, innocence and coquettishness.

The two completely different temperaments were completely blended together in her body. Even with Tohsaka Rin's will, when she looked into those bloody eyes, she almost fell into the lingering whirlpool of desire.

If you are an ordinary person, as long as you are watched by her, you will inevitably fall into the hell of irreparable love.

But compared to this, what really made Tohsaka Rin almost lose his mind was that the girl's appearance was almost exactly the same as that of the sister he knew well.

"Hello, sister."

As if noticing Tohsaka Rin's expression, the charming girl gave a friendly call.

"Sakura...no, you can't be Sakura! Who the hell are you!"

"They are obviously exactly the same, but they are so decisive. How did you judge it?"

Facing Tohsaka Rin's question, the girl chuckled lightly and stood lightly in front of Tohsaka Rin, showing a happy smile.

"Well, as a reward, let me introduce myself."

"I am the servant summoned by your sister Matou Sakura in this Holy Grail War, but I am not a hero, I am a goddess."

"——The goddess who holds the power of love."

Thanks to Bakarakamiao for the 500 point reward!
