Chapter 62: The Confession's Answer
That's right, Flag! or the Flag of Death!
In the Fate stay night UB worldline, Illya's contract servant is Berserker Hercules. During the battle with Gilgamesh, Illya shouted "Berserker will not lose to anyone, because he is the strongest in the world." β
Then, Hercules was killed by Gilgamesh, and Illya herself was pierced out of her heart, an act that Gilgamesh could never erase.
The rest of the worldlines turned out to be slightly better, Illya was fine, but Hercules was still inevitably devoured or killed.
Now Illya's contract partner has been changed to Artoria, but she still shouts this ominous declaration.
Fortunately, Artoria is not a delirious Hercules, she has her own ideas, and she can express them clearly, she said: "There was something else hidden in the last Holy Grail War, and if it wasn't for Miss Skaha's intention, I wouldn't have won the final victory." β
, Well done, Artoria, worthy of Lucky A, you who have an "intuition" can unconsciously avoid the death flag.
"Is that so?" said Illya, pouting at Skaha.
"Sort of, but not necessarily right now. Skaha glanced at Artoria meaningfully, "Now that you are a similar existence to me, I may not be able to win if you fight again." β
"I knew Saber was the strongest. β
Illya was proud again, but she was proud for less than a second before she heard Artoria say again.
"You're stronger than last time, you're a Lancer now, not an Assassin!"
The two immortals, who had also lived for thousands of years, looked at each other and smiled, and Illya, who didn't know what was going on, pursed again.
"What the hell is going on? β
"That one is only known until the end of the fight. Artoria decided, "Illya, why are you participating in the Holy Grail War?
"Yes, yes, several. I want mom and dad to protect my home. I'm going to defeat that hateful giant and avenge my mother, aunt, and grandmother. I'm going to defeat Rin, defeat that big liar, and prove that I'm the best. β
Illya's wish is very simple and childish, but it is precisely because of her simplicity that she is particularly strong when she is awakened, and she will get a response from the Great Holy Grail at the last moment.
It is precisely because of this simplicity that Altoria's memory was awakened more than a thousand years ago, and it was also in order to defeat the enemy and protect the country that she pulled out the "sword in the stone" that chose the king.
"Then Illya must work hard. I don't know who Rin is, but if it's him, the big liar you said......"
"It's him!" Illya nodded as she waved her fist at Shinji.
The latter replied with a helpless look, how can I say that I also saved you, don't shout and kill like this.
Illya tilted her head in the direction of Natalia and Xia Lei, you saved me, but you also have to seal grandma and aunt.
This secret interaction was naturally incomprehensible to Artoria, but it didn't prevent her from continuing to speak.
"You've chosen a very strong opponent, maybe the strongest. β
"The strongest?" Illya didn't believe it, "The strongest still needs you to save it?"
"That's because he saw me distracted. You haven't seen it, so you don't know how powerful he is when he really fights to protect the people who matter to him. β
"You've seen it?"
"Yes, I've seen it, I've seen it with my own eyes, it's like a demon god. β
The title of the demon god, the look of looking back sideways, evokes the memories that Shinji buried in his heart.
It was 5 years ago, and the eyes of her and him were separated, relieved, blessed, reluctant and with a little incomprehensible emotion.
But it was in a parallel world, how could she?
"You, are you...... Have the ability to cross parallel worlds?"
"So you didn't know, I thought you did. Artoria was slightly stunned, "The ability to cross parallel worlds is the exclusive property of that 'Second Magician', and I don't have such a convenient ability. β
"And why are you?"
"It's a privilege conferred by the power of restraint. I am a bit similar to me on the sword bar now, except that the time is not fixed, and I am similar to the Heroic Spirit in other aspects. It didn't matter ten years ago, or five years ago, whether it was this world or another world, it was me. β
"I see...... Like Gaia and Alayah would do. Shinji suddenly realized.
Since he is a repressive employee, he naturally cannot only take care of the affairs of one world, and it makes sense to give such an ability.
At the same time, there was another thing that was reflected - why Artoria did not hesitate to obey his orders.
If it was just the intersection of ten years ago, it was not enough for her to believe in herself so much, although she had done a lot for her, she knew very little. Maybe she will listen in the end, but it is impossible to do it without asking anything.
Before, Artoria said, "I thought you knew", probably for this reason - out of the master-slave instinct five years ago, Shinji ordered very skillfully, and Artoria complied very skillfully.
"Well, let's do it again, long time no see, Artoria, and I'm glad to see you again. β
"Me too, Shinji. Although I am not your servant this time, I feel very relieved to have you. β
The boys and girls who are also blue are smiling, just like when they fought side by side five years ago.
"Wait, wait a minute, I can't react, what the hell are you talking about?" Illya was messy, "What five years ago?
"And the master, Miss Artoria, have you ever been your brother's servant? Sakura joined in. From just now, this woman looked at her brother strangely, and she felt an imminent crisis.
"yes, in another world. Together, we took part in a huge Holy Grail battle, which was so dangerous that Master and I almost died, but we managed to overcome it in the end. Maybe it's because I'm used to it, and I blurt it out without paying attention.
"Die, die!" Sakura covered her mouth and her eyes widened, "Brother, why did you never mention it." β
"Because it's all in the past, Artoria, please don't say a word. β
Shinji's biggest fear is that his family is worried, so he never mentioned the trip to the parallel world.
"Well, since you don't want to. Artoria nodded slightly, and added, "But I can leave nothing else to say, and I will definitely give you an answer for one thingβabout your confession to me." β
"Eh, eh, ~~~~~~~~~~~eh,
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations.
PS: Don't forget, Illya has also suffered a lot (see the Skyclave Scroll for details, Illya was thrown into the pile of dead), and her psychological quality is actually not fragile at all.
