Chapter 25: Acquaintances Again
What to choose?
Is it to follow the family's long-cherished wishes, the father's will, and follow the path of others?
Or do you want to leave those things behind and go your own way?
Is it to become a hybrid in the mouth of Gilgamesh?
Or is it to be a real person who has found his way?
I-
I should-
I'm in the end-
What exactly should I do?
Rin asked herself.
After taking a deep breath and emptying your mind, the answer emerges naturally, surprisingly simple.
"I'm going to beat that guy, I'm going to punch him in the face and see if he can laugh!" Rin said, waving his fist.
"Avenge the shame of the minister?" asked Gilgamesh, still squinting.
"It's partly for that, but it's more that I want to do it, and every time I see that smiling face, I don't like it. What is gentle and polite, sunny and sensible, what is better than me to let me learn from him, ahh
By the end, Rin almost yelled, and the rare release of her nature made her extremely emotional.
"Hmph, admit it. Despite the ugly jealousy, this is much better than the disguised elegance. ”
"Make no mistake, Archer, I have no intention of giving up on the long-cherished wish of the Tosaka family, I will use my methods to make it happen. ”
Hearing this stubborn, even a bit like a cover-up, Gilgamesh let out a joyful laugh that was more enjoyable than Shinji's singing "I'm going to blow up the school".
"Very well, this is the answer this king wants to hear, the biggest difference between a human and a bastard is to take the initiative or go with the flow, in order to be qualified to use the king's power - be happy, Rin, this king intends to help you seriously. ”
"That's what you said. ”
"The true king never breaks his word. ”
"What about the king...... Is there a king like you riding on the wall of the locomotive?"
"A king's demeanor has nothing to do with posture. The true king will not care about the eyes of others. ”
"What I'm trying to say - are you not tired of supporting the locomotive while maintaining your balance?"
"You do seem to be so ...... when you say that," Gilgamesh shifted his body, "but it doesn't matter, what matters is that the king is happy." During the last Holy Grail War, the King had a race with the Queen of the Shadow Country and the King of Conquest, and when the King found a suitable track, he would definitely ask her to compete again. ”
"The kings actually use locomotives to win the battle between them, and the interest of you kings is really strange. Rin complained, "Are you talking about the king of conquest the king of Macedonia, Alexander the Great, who fought from Europe to Asia?"
"That's right. He is a thief recognized by this king, and he is also an opponent worthy of this king's treasure, and he has carried out his royal way to the end. ”
When it comes to conquering kings, Gilgamesh treats them with the same respect he did with Skaha.
Rin asked, "Pull out the Treasure, which means you still resort to force?"
"Of course, his royal way is to plunder and conquer, and he has set his sights on the king's treasury, and the king will naturally punish the thieves. However, the king also promised him that no matter how many times, the king would welcome him to challenge him...... What's the matter, looking at this king like this?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little surprising, you can have that side too. ”
"Everything in the world will be eclipsed before this king, and being aware of this proves that you have grown. ”
Gilgamesh swiped his forehead triumphantly as he spoke, and suddenly a golden light shone brightly, almost blinding Rin's eyes.
"Ahh
Rin, who didn't want to look at Gilgamesh anymore, turned his head, but saw another scene - on the other side of the sky, the canopy of the sky, where even the starlight was faint, suddenly lit up, although it was only for a short moment, but Rin was sure that he was not mistaken.
Then a rumbling sound reached Rin's ears, and combined with the light he had seen earlier, the answer was about to come out.
"Thunder, but how can it be this season? Today's weather forecast doesn't report rain, isn't it-"
"It was caused by the slaves. ”
Archer has the best eyesight in a full-time agency, Rin can only see a rough idea, but Gilgamesh can see much more.
"That sense of familiarity that is full of ambition...... You can't go wrong...... Gone, Rin. ”
"Where to go?"
"Go and say hello to another old rival. Well, this distance is a little insufficient for locomotives, so use this. ”
The next moment-
In the midst of a messy playground, a huge Noble Phantasm appeared.
It looks like a ship, a kind of fish or flying insects, a flying battleship full of fantasy wind.
Its name is "Vimana", one of the treasures possessed by Gilgamesh, a flying machine that travels the heavens in Hindu mythology.
"This is...... Spaceship?" Rin muttered, "Even this kind of thing." ”
"There's no time for you to be surprised, come up and go at once. ”
With that, Gilgamesh put away the locomotive and sat on the only golden throne in the center of the battleship.
At the same time, the wind was blowing around the battleship, and I don't know if it was the function of the battleship itself, or other treasures.
The wind swept through Rin's body and carried her to the back of the battleship, and before she could gain a foothold, the golden ship flew into the sky at an alarming speed.
The surface of the golden ship was very smooth, with no railings and no place to grab a handrail, and Rin was almost thrown out by inertia. Fortunately, she practiced "Bajiquan" since she was a child, and instinctively stabilized the next game, which turned the danger into a disaster.
"You, you, you, are you trying to kill me!" Rin complained loudly, coming back to his senses.
"It's that you're too slow to react. Gilgamesh said casually, "Shi Chen did much better back then, and when this king fought with the enemy in the air, he was always calm. ”
At the mention of her father, Rin was speechless.
Gilgamesh continued: "Adjust your condition as soon as possible, and soon the enemy will attack. ”
Although dissatisfied with Gilgamesh's approach, Rin adjusted her breathing as quickly as he said, and cast protection and balance magic.
Soon, the attack really came.
The raging winds, the thunder and lightning that struck the sky, and the flying beasts that had no flesh and bones.
None of this did any damage to the ship, though, as Gilgamesh spread out more than a dozen defensive Phantasms around the ship, perfectly bounce off all attacks and shoot them down.
When the last flying beast was shattered, the Hero King left his throne and walked to the bow of the ship with a proud stride.
At the same time, the spaceship began to land slowly, and it was only at this time that Rin, who had no experience in air combat, could see the surroundings clearly.
This is a forest on the outskirts of Fuyuki City, where a bonfire is lit and several tents have been set up nearby, making it look like a camping camp.
In the center of the camp, there were several people, including men and women, middle-aged and young people, the most striking of which was a giant man wearing a red cloak with overwhelming size and muscles.
He looked at Gilgamesh with an equally oppressive, impudent gaze. The latter not only did not get angry, but looked at him with a flawless majesty.
"Are you ready to challenge this king again? ”
