Twenty-seven, Kuroko, in terms of taste, you and Mai Trin are quite complementary
"Haven't you seen enough? voyeurism!"
Sitting on the neatly cleaned bed of Cha Cha Maru in a daze, Kaguya suddenly grabbed the pillow next to him and threw it into the corner behind the door. In the corner of the wall, which was originally empty, a slender hand wearing white silk gloves poked out of the void and caught the pillow that Kaguya threw out.
"Peeping or something, from the mouth of a gentle and demure princess, it's not good for outsiders to hear it. ”
With the hand sticking out as the center, a crack stretched to the sides. You can barely feel the fluctuations of the magic, but the space has really changed. The delicate upper body poked out of the crack. This is a strange scene comparable to a horror movie, unlike the way Levi broke through the space, in the dark hollow behind the girl, there seemed to be countless demonic pupils peeking at the outside world. Kaguya, who was sitting on the bed, didn't make a fuss, as if she had long been accustomed to the way the other party appeared.
"I'm not a princess anymore. But you, who haven't forgotten the old things from more than a thousand years ago, have a really good memory, or is it not that long for you?"
Kaguya's seemingly casual words reminded the other party of the fact that his age had already been calculated in units of 'thousands'. The woman is said to be very concerned about her age, and while Kaguya is skeptical about the veracity of this kind of gossip, she doesn't mind trying it a little either. Anyway, I don't have anything to lose, do I?
"That's right, even getting along with ordinary people is happy, and there is really no need to maintain the image of a lonely princess. In this way, a few foul words are really nothing. ”
"Who's having fun with them!"
The uninvited guest walked out of the gap in the space and landed lightly on the stall. Kaguya, not knowing whether it was out of anger or shyness, forgot that there were other guests in the cottage, and retorted loudly with a red face. I reached out and fumbled on the bed for a long time before I remembered that the only pillow had been used as a flying prop. The house is someone else's property, and if it is broken, it will definitely make people angry. Kaguya didn't realize that he took into account Levi and Evan's thoughts and suppressed the idea of teaching each other a harsh lesson, but it fulfilled the evaluation of 'happy and happy'.
"It's obviously night, and I'm still holding an umbrella indoors, and I have to have a limit to pretending to be noble!"
Unable to fight back with actions, Kaguya had to use words that he was not good at.
The girl-looking guest put away the umbrella and moved to Kaguya's bed with graceful steps. Dressed in a gorgeous purple dress, a swan-like neck, slightly curly golden hair, and a fluffy hat decorated with red ribbons, she resembled a lady dressed up for a royal dinner.
"It's rude to be dressed as a guest. You know, sister, I just visited the pyramids, and the scorching sun of the desert is the natural enemy of the skin. ”
The parasol disappears in her hand as if by magic, and if the other magicians hear the girl's casual words, she will open her eyes and shout 'incredible'. Half a world apart, being able to make such a large-scale fixed-point teleportation is something that no one in this world can do alone. Even if you gather dozens of people with spatial abilities of Levy's level, you have to make lengthy preparations in advance and use special props to achieve similar effects. And in the mouth of this girl, the ability comparable to a miracle seems to be as insignificant as opening the door of her own house. Kaguya, who sat on the sidelines with an unwelcome expression, was not surprised in the slightest.
"Thousands of years old youkai, I'm not qualified to be your sister. ”
"Hehe, people are only seventeen years old, if they don't call Sister Zi, they will be angry. ”
The girl who claims to be seventeen years old, although it is not clear if she really has thousands of years of life as Kaguya claims, but it is true that traces of her existence can be found in the history of 1,200 years ago. If it weren't for Kaguya's early acquaintance with her and a lot of insider information, I'm afraid that most people who meet her for the first time would be confused by her appearance and believe that she is a seventeen-year-old flower girl.
"Hmph, I don't care how old you are, but what does it mean to peep all day long!"
Kaguya's tone was very unfriendly. In fact, the relationship between her and the visitor can only be regarded as 'acquaintance', and it cannot reach the level of 'intimacy' at all, and even whether it can be regarded as a friend has to be questioned. But this can't be used as a basis for judging the true nature of the two getting along, Penglai Mountain Huiye, who is considered to be a lonely princess, how can it be so easy to find a friend Such a luxury thing.
"It's really ugly, it's clear that I'm visiting the runaway lady on behalf of someone else, and I'm so misunderstood. ”
The girl covered her mouth with her gloved hand, as if she had been heartbroken.
"Who ran away from home! You know best what I'm doing here, when you've had enough of acting, go back to sleep quickly, don't disturb people's dreams here!"
Fortunately, Kaguya had set up an enchantment to isolate the sound in advance, otherwise she would have yelled against her usual image, and would definitely attract all the residents of the hut to watch.
"Oh, I know best? So the princess of our Eternal Pavilion is really moved, and she deliberately went to the outside world to find Ruyi Langjun? Oh, Yonglin must blame me when she knows it, and she doesn't take a good look at her princess, and she can not even be ashamed of this kind of thing, and even my sister and I have a little heartache. ”
"Yakumo Purple ......!"
Hearing this baseless slander, Kaguya's face flushed with anger. She even felt that she was not as angry as she is now when she spent hundreds of hours playing through a game until the screen went black because of a bug before the ending CG. Even though she is more than a thousand years old, she is still a pure girl who has never been in a relationship with any man, how can she allow others to slander her like this! But she can't fight back angrily, destroying the house or anything is secondary, but she knows this woman's character, if she can't get angry and quarrel with her, today's affairs will be endless, don't think about doing anything.
"Well, the joke is a bit too much. Actually, I just asked Dai Yonglin if her princess had had enough fun and when she would go home. Without the owner's eternal pavilion, I don't know what the chaos will be. ”
"Hmph, it's not up to you whether I go home or not, not to mention when I'm going to take care of that little thing at home?"
The Eight Meanings Yongrin mentioned by Zi is Kaguya's retinue and the head of the place where she lives. The so-called manager, naturally she is responsible for all affairs, big and small. Kaguya, the princess, actually just lives there, and she doesn't get angry or bored and cause trouble. In her absence, others will only feel more relaxed.
"Have fun, little princess. ”
The girl sat on her side on the white bed, and Kaguya frowned when she saw her leaning over, and moved a little to the side. Sitting shoulder to shoulder like sisters, the two of them don't have such a good relationship.
"Go back...... Of course to go back and wait for the Holy Grail War to end. ”
If you occupy the Heroic Spirit seat in the Holy Grail War, then you should do your duty as a Servant. The seemingly shrewd eldest lady can't be reassuring at all. And there's an ally who always messes around...... Thinking of Levy's appearance, Kaguya couldn't help but smile slightly, it was really the first time she had met such a man, she recalled the past, the past a long, long time ago.
"Don't worry, we'll meet again, maybe, alas......"
Sigh?Although she hadn't been back and forth much, Kaguya had never heard of anything she couldn't solve. Was it sad? I was about to turn around and ask clearly, but I found that the girl was already lying on the bed, her eyes adorned with slender eyelashes were gently closed, and her frowning look was like a sleeping beauty waiting for the prince to wake her up, which made people unbearable.
What had happened to make this youkai, who was even more powerful than the legendary gods, so sad that he would take the initiative to seek help from her own side, which was not very friendly?
Kaguya stood up and walked to the only window in the room. She gently pulled the curtain open and looked out at the vast night sky above the dark forest. Is she really as reluctant as she said? Is it this group of people who have only known each other for a few days, or is it this strange world of chaos? What is so special about that man......
The girl's eyes were darker than the night, reflecting a round of bright moon.
==================
"What are you talking ......about!"
The boy had an expression of disbelief on his face, staring at his 'brother' in panic. To find even the slightest trace of mischief in that resolute face is doomed to be superfluous and futile. A teacher who only has a one-sided relationship can't talk about deep feelings at all. It's just that the teenager has tried his best to connect with the fact of the so-called 'war', let alone implicate the people around him, and the idea of letting the cruel fate at least stay away from his peaceful life is destined to be a luxury for Yuji Sakai.
"Yes, as you heard, the teacher surnamed McDowell was undoubtedly one of the participants in the Holy Grail War, and the woman beside him was his Servant."
The heroic spirit who sat in the corner of the wall wiping the spear stated the facts in the tone of Furui Wubo. Neither the identity nor the appearance of the Master nor the Servant is an obstacle to his actions. Although he was very sympathetic to the teacher's behavior of caring for innocent passers-by, it did not hinder his belief in taking the Holy Grail. It's not uncommon for a close friend to become an enemy on the battlefield, let alone a stranger.
"That girl, wouldn't she? She looks like she's only a little older than me. ”
"The strength of an enemy cannot be judged by age, let alone after becoming a heroic spirit, the appearance will always remain the same as at that moment. Master, there's a good example of this right in front of your eyes. ”
Following Zhao Yun's gaze, Yuji looked at the open window, where there was nothing but the neighbor's house and the white clouds in the sky. The sound of a sharp weapon waving from that is an example of this.
Compared to Xana's appearance that at most children who have just graduated from elementary school can become a knight of the sword, Reisen is obviously much more convincing as a heroic spirit. But who could have known that that rabbit monster was nothing more than a rankless heroic spirit summoned by a Servant by a clever method? This kind of unexpected event, even Rin Tosaka, the heir of the orthodox magic family, did not expect that Zhao Yun judged that Reizen was Levi's Servant, which could not be regarded as his mistake.
"Are you going to fight the teacher?"
The young man knew that he was knowingly asking, even if it was a lie that could be pierced at the first time, it could make him feel at ease for a while. In the end, he knew very well that even if he gave up the Holy Grail, the other party would probably take the initiative to find him. After all, most of the magicians and heroic spirits who took the initiative to participate in this cruel competition had already been quite conscious, and a few of them would be inexplicably involved like themselves.
Every day, I live a dull day of going to school, chatting with my classmates to pass the time, and finally coming home from school. I always hear my classmates complaining about the boredom of the same life, and Yuji himself echoed them and said a few words. But now that I think about myself at that time, I feel a little ridiculous, even though it has only been a week.
Listen carefully in class, scribble on your notebook, talk to your classmates about the recent incidents after class, have a casual fight after school, and then go home to enjoy the dinner prepared by your mother to relieve the fatigue of the day. You don't have to worry about your livelihood, you don't have to worry about blood, you can occasionally see the war in other countries on TV or in the newspapers, and you can hypocritically express a few words of emotion. There's really nothing wrong with going on like this forever.
But Yuji knows that the peace of the past has gone with the moment he stepped into the 'haunted house'. Embroiled in the battle for the Holy Grail of your life and death, it begins to take into account the seemingly bizarre proposition of survival. So he took the initiative to ask Zhao Yun and Xia Na to teach him how to fight, even if it was futile, he wanted to do his best to do something. I don't expect to be able to help in battle, and maybe I can't even try hard to improve my chances of survival. In the face of powerful heroic spirits that can be understood from afar, the struggle of ordinary humans is nothing more than the struggle of ants. But if he doesn't force himself to do something, Yuji feels that he will one day be consumed by great fear. That's right, every day to guard against the enemy's attack, even the life of students was forced to interrupt. Before encountering real danger, the average person will be in a state of long-term tension and will be on the verge of collapse.
"Then please take me with you!"
Yuji Sakai, the only son, enjoyed unprecedented brotherly affection in a short time together. Unlike his parents' love that spans generations, Zhao Yun is not slack in his training, and he will not show much pity even if he is tired. But the care and protection in my heart can be felt even by a teenager who hasn't experienced too much. It was a harsh elder brother's spur on his younger brother.
Sometimes he even whimsically thinks that the reason why he was named 'Yuuji' may be the 'elder brother' who is destined to be his role model and make him worship and chase after him forever.
In the battle between Heroic Spirits and Heroic Spirits, ordinary people will only become a weakness that drags them back. But the energy that Yuji inexplicably possesses in his body, known as 'magic power', can be of great help. It is said that his magic power is far larger than that of ordinary magicians. On the other hand, the Servant, which relies on its own mana supply, is able to exert stronger strength. Being able to have both Zhao Yun and Xia Na is Yuuji's advantage over other magicians.
However, since Yuuji doesn't know anything about magic, he can only provide the magic needed by the Heroic Spirit through the most ordinary close contact. Can't let Zhao Yun fight alone, help as much as he can, and fulfill his responsibilities as a Master!
The boy straightened up, staring with unshakable eyes at the Heroic Spirit wiping the spear.
"Okay, Master."
==================
"It's coming, it's coming, it's rotting if you knock on the door again. ”
Rubbing his half-open and half-closed eyes, Levi didn't want to pay attention to the nasty guy who was desperately slamming the door early in the morning. In addition to being the enemy of women's skin, lack of sleep is also an important factor affecting men's mental state, especially lazy guys like Levy.
Unfortunately, the lady at his pillow happened to be in agreement with his consciousness in this regard, and Evan hated the odious knock at the door as well, and the slender girl was said to be less tolerant than the lazy old man. As a result, Levi was just about to protest when he was suppressed by force, and he had to jump out of bed in despair, giving up his happy morning sleep.
"Stupid hosts who have not done their proper manners, dare to expect more patience from their guests? Do you think I want to come like that! If you see a nasty guy early in the morning, your luck may be worse today. ”
Ignoring Levy, who opened the door, Shirai Kuroko walked straight into the living room and threw the schoolbag in his hand onto the sofa. The guy who disturbs people's dreams makes a victim look, and only Levi, who understands her, can help her prepare hot tea as if nothing happened, and it's no wonder that someone else doesn't blow the double ponytail girl out.
"The results of the investigation are in?"
"See for yourself. ”
Holding the tea that Levi handed her, Kuroko took a sip and then pointed to the schoolbag that had been dropped on the sofa.
Since even Kuroko herself doesn't care, there's no need for Levi to remind her to protect her privacy. Sit down on the edge of the sofa, open Tokiwadai Junior High School's uniform school bag, and take out a thick stack of A4 paper. Levi rubbed his sour eyes and cheered up.
"Judging from what is written, it has only been a few days since 'Strange' appeared abnormal, and the time is quite consistent. ”
"Huh?"
Kuroko, who had already finished drinking the third cup of black tea and was about to put the cup back on the table, suddenly heard Levi's words that made her scratch her head.
"We've identified the object of suspicion after discussion, and based on the time of the 'Skill-Out' group activity shown on your profile, it's more likely. ”
"What do you mean...... Someone is behind the unusual activities of the recent incapacitated group?"
Since the other party dares to use the arrogant name of 'Skill-Out', it is strange not to trouble the superpower. When Levi wouldn't let her report to her superiors, Kuroko had an argument with him. Later, Levi was reluctantly distracted by the device that made it impossible for the capable to calculate, and for the time being, I believe that he thought that there was speculation that someone from the upper echelons was involved. After all, Levy's rhetoric can't be said to be completely unreasonable.,Who would believe that a group of gangsters who don't even go to school with nothing to do.,Only bully the weak, can develop any high-tech technology? And from Kuroko's previous experience,Levi seems to have a vague special relationship with some people in the school city.。 After considering the above, she agreed to this request, which violated the duties of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
"That's right.,The current situation is because it involves forces outside the school city.,It's not convenient to hand it over to the Discipline Discipline Commissioner.,Leave it to me.。 As for your duties, don't worry too much, I'll be in touch with your person in charge of this in a moment, and I'll call you when I have the results. ”
"Humph......"
Because of Mikoto Misaka's relationship, Kuroko, who had been mentored by Levi with similar abilities, is very clear about the gap between him and himself. What's more, the enemy has weapons that can disable superpowers, and it is indeed dangerous for a member of the Discipline Committee who is just an ordinary student except for his ability.
But above the Discipline Discipline Commissioner, there is also an Anti-Skill garrison similar to the military, and this kind of incident should be handled by the police reserve to be more in line with the rules, Kuroko originally wanted to say this, but when he heard that Levi would contact the 'special officer', he dispelled this idea and waited for his result.
"Forget it, whatever you want. But the leader of the organization that bullied Sister Gufa must be handed over to me!"
What made Kuroko disobey his duties and bow his head willingly, as well as the rare serious expression on Levy's face. In her memory, this lazy and lascivious man showed very few similar situations. But every time something is going to happen that will make her unforgettable. Kuroko doesn't want to admit that she has an inexplicable trust in the nasty guy who 'snatched' her sister, and she constantly forces herself to think that this is an occasional rebellion against hard work.
"Kuroko, thank you. ”
The enthusiasm of the girl in front of her for her work, Levi knows better than anyone else. It would have been unimaginable for her to make unethical concessions.
"Alas~ always cause me trouble, if you can stay away from my sister, it will be the best thank you gift. ”
"Hey, you've been mentioning it, but I haven't seen Mai Trin in a long time. ”
"The best is never seen. ”
Lévy didn't have time to take care of the sunspots, so he threw the papers on the table and leaned against the couch to slightly replenish the deprived sleep time. Kuroko was probably not much better than him, and when he saw this, he leaned his small body to the other side, raised his feet, put them on Levi's legs, and twisted for a long time to put on the most comfortable position.
"Kuroko. ”
"Huh?"
"Stay for breakfast?"
"Of course, this is the minimum etiquette for entertaining guests, right? I thought you had forgotten. ”
"It's just a matter of asking, anyway, when Chachamaru sees you in a while, he will take the initiative to prepare more. I'm so tired......"
With his hands behind his head, Lévy closed his eyes and ended the conversation. Kuroko also followed his example and gradually fell asleep.
==================
"Teacher Levi...... Teacher Levi ......"
"Hmm...... Good morning. ”
Noticing a faint voice in his ears, Levi opened his eyes and saw Chachamaru looking down at his face.
"Breakfast was ready. ”
"I'm sorry for you. Sunspot...... Hey...... Get up and eat!"
Kuroko, who was also lying on the sofa, hadn't been woken up yet. Seeing this, Lévi stood up, propped himself up on the couch with his hands, and jerked his foot back.
"Wow!"
The girl, who suddenly lost her 'mattress' and couldn't balance her body, rolled on her side before she woke up, and the whole person fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a soft and thick carpet to protect it, so it was not injured. But her legs were split apart due to the conditioned reflex to maintain her body balance, vaguely revealing that the fabric was pitiful, but the color was very conspicuous, obviously not the fat times she should wear at her age.
"Kuroko, occasionally learn from Mai Trin, and wear more age-appropriate clothes. ”
"Compared to this, you should learn from other normal teachers once in a while, right? Push down your own students all day long, and the reputation of School Island has been ruined by you!"
In fact, in the eyes of others, including Kuroko's classmates and friends, they will definitely think that a junior high school student like her, who has no shyness that a girl should have, is the most abnormal existence. Don't look at the scandals about Levy, he has never done anything like 'pushing down his own students' that would be taken to court. Well, Evan studied in the elementary school of Ma Fan Liang School Park, and he was not considered his 'own' student.
"Hurry up and finish school, it's not a good example for the Discipline Inspector to take the lead in being late. ”
At the edge of the dining table, Levi's hand climbed onto Kuroko's braided little head, pressed her into her seat, and turned to walk down the stairs, where several snooze cats waited for him to wake up.
==================
The ordinary daily life without special events always passes so quickly. The scene of teaching students in the classroom is still vivid, but the dim moon has crept up into the sky. In the faint light, the hut, long past the time when most people go to sleep, was eerily silent, as if only the tree had a different shape, merging with the forest that surrounded it. And at the top of this 'big tree', the girl with her long skirt scattered on the ground is enjoying the evening breeze and falling asleep lightly.
"Kaguya...... Kaguya. ”
A low murmur sounded from the empty roof, and when I searched carefully, I found that a black shadow with its back to the moonlight jumped up lightly, and landed very lightly, without making a sound.
"You can't be hit by the magic circle you have planted, right?"
The shadow crept towards the place where the girl was lying in the center of the roof. He came to the girl and squatted down, the girl's quiet face seemed to be extremely attached to a sweet dream, making people unwilling to wake her up, unwilling to disturb this rare warmth. Perhaps, it would be better this way?, the shadow seemed to have made some decision, and got up with the slowest movements.
"Wait......"
Just about to mobilize the magic in her body, it was probably the subtle fluctuations of resonance in the air that woke up to the girl more sensitive than the sound, and she stretched out the pale emaciation that made people feel pity and grabbed the man's trouser legs.
"Hehe, I thought you were asleep. ”
Kaguya rubbed her sleepy eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she opened her eyes. Levi lamented that he had lost a good opportunity.
"I dreamed that when I was at home before, there were people everywhere I went, everyone was busy, it looked lively, but I felt very lonely, but fortunately you woke me up. ”
After Reisen arrived, Levi finally got some idea of Kaguya's past, but only some. The home that Reisen is talking about is a place called Forever Pavilion, which is said to be hidden deep in the sea of bamboo forests. There are masters who are respected by the Reizen, there are lively bunnies, there are princesses who always lock themselves in their rooms, and occasionally there are youkai and humans who come to see a doctor and buy medicine. But listening to Kaguya's tone, it was as if he was telling something long, far away, and Levi didn't have the habit of gossiping, at least now he didn't think it was a good time to gossip about the secrets of the past.
"Don't worry, in a few days, it is estimated that you will be able to sit in your own house and drink hot tea. ”
"Hmm. ”
The 'home' that Levi spoke of was, of course, the Eternal Pavilion that Reisen had told her, and Kaguya paused for a moment to understand what he meant.
"Let's go, don't let Reisen catch a cold for too long. ”
"Wait, follow me. ”
As soon as he got up, Kaguya suddenly remembered something and stopped Levi, who was about to activate the teleportation ability. She straightened up her clothes crumpled from sleeping, floated slightly, motioned for Levi to follow, and slipped in through the window of her guest room on the second floor.
Except for the two of them, the rest of the occupants of the hut, including Evan were hypnotized by the spell enchantment that Kaguya had quietly set up, and they would not wake up for a short time. Halfway through the night, Levi thought he had plenty of time anyway, and followed Kaguya into her room and sat down at her desk.
"These,"
The girl pushed her slender black hair back to her head, opened the wardrobe for the guests, and pulled out several black bags from which the contents were invisible.
"Leave it to you, and I won't take it back. ”
Looking through the opening of the bag, Levi felt dizzy with the packaging of various colorful game software. So much so that I wonder why this girl became a Heroic Spirit, maybe she wanted the Holy Grail to give her a game that she would never finish, right?
"Do you look down on games?"
Seeing Levi staring blankly at the contents of the bag, Kaguya frowned slightly.
"No, no, no, absolutely not to look down on! just a little surprised by the amount......"
Levi hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, he didn't want to cause any misunderstanding in these matters, which would affect his next actions for a while.
In fact, there are quite a few teachers who are opposed to students' enthusiasm for non-learning-related things such as games and comics. But Kaguya is not a student of Levy, and Levi himself is not the kind of teacher who will be called 'stubborn' by students behind their backs. The reason why he was stunned was that the number of collectibles in Kaguya had skyrocketed in just a few days. Could it be that every day when she and Rin stayed at school, she secretly ran to the store to sweep the goods?And the amount of goods placed here, maybe there were goods from outside the island, Levi thought to himself, no wonder there will be Kaguya's express delivery recently, obviously he is a visitor who looks like an ancient visitor, but he has even learned to buy such a difficult thing online. Question: Where did her credit card come from? There are so many things that I don't understand, and this is called an unthinkable event. Just as his mind was in a state of confusion, Kaguya spoke.
"Each game represents a special experience, and when you play a game, you are playing a role, experiencing a life that you can't experience. You can play as a hero who saves the world, or you can play as an ordinary person who lives an easy life. Communicate with all kinds of people and get to know their various ideas, which can only be done in the world of games. ”
The theory of the standard otaku comes from the mouth of a girl, and it sounds very convincing.
Kaguya is right, perhaps more people play games for the fun of competition, and pursue the thrill of surpassing others in terms of skill. But finding alternative life experiences like she did is also a way.
Lévy doesn't know Kaguya's past, what happened in that past. This princess who is arrogant on the outside is just like her appearance on the inside, and rarely takes the initiative to communicate with others. He still couldn't explain why she, who didn't even talk to the other cottage residents, would treat him differently when they first met, but he knew that only the loneliness when she was with other people was Kaguya's original temperament. Now I hear her say such things, but it doesn't seem at all like she is arrogant by nature, and she disdains to associate with people.
"You don't bring any of this back?"
It should have taken a lot of effort to collect it in a short period of time, so why do you say you want to keep it for yourself? Is it like some students who are determined to leave the house, and suddenly want to say goodbye to their old selves? Levi recalls the plot of the TV series that he watched with Evan when he was bored a long time ago, and was scolded and disliked by Evan for squatting at home.
"Actually...... There are a lot of things that have been played before, and the rest of them have been solved in the past few days, and the specific form of going back is not clear...... I won't leave it to you if I haven't played it. ”
The cabinet was slammed shut, and Kaguya hurriedly flew out of the window as if she was a little shy, perhaps it would be a little embarrassing for all the otaku to confess their hobbies to people they didn't know well.
Levi pondered whether her last sentence was terminally 'tsundere' as he hurriedly teleported out of the house. The other companion of tonight's operation, the rabbit monster Reizen, was already waiting outside, although the weather could only be considered cool, and men should not make women wait too long.
==================
"Stop, Master."
The young man, who was running fast in the dark street, immediately stopped when he heard this, and looked nervously at his Servant. The long-haired man took off the shiny silver spear on his back and the girl drew the long knife, which made him understand what he was going to face next. Although I feel that I have made up my mind and is ready. When the moment really came, Yuji Sakai was still ashamed of his suffocating tension.
"Is it an enemy?"
"Nonsense, idiot. ”
Xana, who looks like an elementary school student, answers Yuuji's question. And Zhao Yun, who was originally the person who was questioned, only used his eyes to signal him to stay where he was, holding the spear with one hand, blocking in front of the young boy and girl.
"Claude. Rider."
"Zhao Yun, Lancer."
The location is after the sun sets,In the steel jungle that looks more and more cold against the background of the stars,Standing on the hard concrete floor of the school city, Sakai Yuji,But it feels like returning to the bloody battlefield of the cold weapon era.。
His own Servant and a black-clothed Heroic Spirit exchanged names and ranks. The so-called heroic spirits are mostly legendary heroes, and for these heroes who have long passed away, their real names are their biggest secret. The heroes who have been able to go down in history, knowing their names, can find their life deeds from books. By analyzing these deeds, we can find their characteristics and even their weaknesses. It was Zhao Yun who had told Yu Er to usually replace it with vague titles such as rank or 'you', in case the opponent heard his real name. But perhaps it was the other party's upright appearance and transparency that awakened his self-esteem as a white horse knight and took the initiative to destroy his own advice.
Odd. In the tense moment when a stormy battle is about to come, Yuuji's heart is flooded with irrepressible thoughts. The black-clad Heroic Spirit was very strange. Even if he is an obedient boy who has never even experienced a fight, Yuji can see the military temperament exuded by the other party. It is a kind of indifference, the indifference to any change, the indifference required to be able to make the right choices on the battlefield. Yuji didn't know how he could make such a judgment, but he was even more curious about why a well-trained soldier whose first criterion was to complete the mission would make such a pre-war name that embraced chivalry.
Shouldn't a true Predator make use of everything that can be used and do whatever it takes to achieve his goal? Even a general like Zhao Yun, who has experienced the era of heads-up before the battle, knows what it means to be a soldier and not get tired of deceit. That heroic spirit, who is obviously dressed like a modern age, still adheres to the rules of knighthood that have long since disappeared from the battlefield?
Yuji was very confused, but this was only his doubt. Others don't know what he's thinking, and they won't wait for him to think it through.
War is on the verge of breaking out!
How long does it take to cover a distance of 100 meters? If you were asked an ordinary person, they would answer the world record of 9.58 seconds. But for a heroic spirit who does not belong to a human being, a short hundred meters only takes the time for Yuji Sakai to blink because of the dust raised.
"Please take it. ”
Spanning a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, Zhao Yun shook his wrist, and the spear stabbed out in a straight line from the right side. Like a silver needle piercing into the water, the spear sliced through the air with such speed that it did not make the slightest wave.
Most of the generals in the Cold Weapon Era were good at fighting on horseback, and the silver spear held by Zhao Yun was of course a sharp weapon for cavalry. But even without the help of the war horse, the weapons that had been used for too long on the ground did not lag at all, and the shining silver light seemed to be distorted in the air like a dancing spirit snake.
Yuji thought that the spear that seemed to come to life in Zhao Yun's hands was already an amazing miracle. Those who can make moves, but never expect to be able to hit their opponents. Seeing the man in black dodging sideways at will as Zhao Yun expected, he immediately swung his wrist to reverse the direction. The spear arcs gracefully through the air, turning a straight stab into a sweep, forcing his opponent to draw his greatsword as a shield. The metal collided with a piercing chirp, and Zhao Yun, who had successfully seized the lead, did not give his opponent a chance to breathe, and his right arm kept trembling to adjust the dance of the long snake.
Torrential raindrops poured down on Claude, his hand far heavier than a spear, and the iron sword that served as a giant tower shield held his body firmly. The dense sound of the tip of the spear hitting the giant sword merged into a sharp wail, and Sakai, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but cover his ears with his hands, only in this way could he slightly relieve the pain of his eardrum bursting.
The figures of the two warring parties, Sakai can't see it clearly at all. I had to barely watch, only to feel the two shadows keep shaking in front of my eyes. The pain of the pupil's inability to properly capture the focus of an object is transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve, translating into vomiting vertigo torment.
Can't go back.
Holding back the spasms in his stomach, Sakai struggled to open his eyes. If you can't help in any way, then at least you want to be able to watch. Watch his battles, watch his bravery, watch his efforts to break through his fate. It is said that most of the reason why heroes become heroic spirits is because of unattainable wishes? No, it must be so. No one is willing to be entangled in endless strife after death, and the strength to support Zhao Yun's battle must be a long-cherished wish that he cannot fulfill during his lifetime.
Obtaining the Holy Grail is definitely the only goal of the Heroic Spirits. Becoming a servant of his own incompetent master is probably Zhao Yun's greatest misfortune. Compared to other powerful masters who know magic, they can become a help in battle, and even change the strength of the Heroic Spirit. Yuji Sakai understands that he is nothing more than a simple magic container, a lightweight and fragile powerless magic container that the Servant has to be distracted from and protect during battle.
But the teenager believes that containers also have the responsibility of containers. Since providing magic is the only thing he can do, he will follow through on that only responsibility. You can't be afraid, even if you're really afraid, you can't run away. As if enchanted, Sakai unconsciously stepped forward. There was only one thought left in his mind, to get as close to the battlefield as possible so that the magic could be transmitted smoothly. Just as he was about to step into the battlefield and was swept in by the wind, a small hand suddenly grabbed Sakai's clothes and threw him to the ground with a little force.
