Tiny but shining. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Like a little holy white on the evergreen field.

The soul is like immersed in the summer spring and winter fire, clear and warm.

What is the feeling at this moment...... That must be happiness, right?

Cross-legged, holding tea, sat under the porch.

The breeze blows through the courtyard, and at night when there are no cicadas, just watching the moon is relaxing.

"It's beautiful. ”

The pale moon rings hung high in the sky, and the stars could not compete for brilliance, but they were not as dazzling as the sun.

He looked directly at the silver plate and stretched out his hand. As if you want to hold it up, your palms are upward.

"Can't see it over there?"

El walked over to Rodritte's side and sat down as she placed a tray between the two of them.

"Hmmm......"

Rod nodded, looking down at the tray with two glasses and a bottle of wine.

"If you want to admire the moon, the tea is not appropriate, right?"

Edaire chuckled and reached out and took the cup from Rod's hand.

The latter smiled bitterly, let go of his hand obediently, and then wanted to go and get the bottle.

"No, I'll just come. ”

But Adeel snatched the bottle again, and slowly poured half a glass for each of them.

Handing the crystal clear glass to Rod, the smile on her face was serene and beautiful...... It's nostalgic.

Yes...... When did you see that expression?

Because the time is too long, I can't recall it.

But just looking at it, I felt something in my heart become soft.

"Thank you. ”

As a result, Rod also chuckled.

Taking the wine glass, the knight full of creativity had unloaded all his defenses at this moment. He took a sip of the liquor and let the pungent smell burn his esophagus. He let out a satisfied "ha". Then, once again, he set his eyes on the full moon.

"Thank you. ”

Then, he said it again.

Words of time...... Already five years after the last battle.

The old noisy Emiya Mansion has been quiet again.

Shirou Emiya and Shinji Makiri, who don't plan to continue their studies at university, said that they were going to travel all over the world, but Rin, who actually had a clear mind, went to the Middle East together. Sakura went to the Tower of the Clock - I don't know what she had found, and the smile on her face was so strange that she looked at El and Rhodes before leaving.

As for the May glass...... Still teaching at Hogungahara High School with Taiga Fujimura, she has completely forgotten about the war five years ago. returned to the life she deserved, and obtained ordinary happiness that only belonged to her.

In the huge empty house, to this day, only the two people who are mirrors of each other are left.

Seriously.

It's a little bit lonely.

"Wouldn't it be weird to say thank you to yourself?"

Laughing, Adeel also took a sip of her glass. I don't know if it's because of alcohol, her cheeks are unnaturally red.

"No...... Because you're not me. ”

"That's right...... Is it?"

"That's right. ”

Rodrithe's voice was gentle and affirmative.

Still staring at the untouchable end of the world, the hand that is just a short distance stretches out to the sky.

Even if you know that it is a fool's trip, this immeasurable is also beautiful.

Looking at the moon and looking at his arm, Rod silently thought: Although he is a little immeasurable, his life is ...... It's actually the same thing, right?

Like a fool, he moves towards a realm that he should not touch, knowing that he will not be chosen, but throwing himself into the gears of fate, trying to hinder the operation of the world with his fragile body.

Of course, I don't get anything until the end.

Bruises...... No, it's already in tatters, right?

But even so, even if you are such a self, there are things to be proud of.

"Hahahaha. ”

He laughed briskly.

reaffirmed, and now I don't regret it, and I still have that love and courage.

Still hopeful, to be a hero.

"Now, Adeir, I'm ...... today Is it a hero?"

"Hmm. ”

"Really...... It's just wonderful. ”

The voice was so hearty that even Aviel, who was smiling, couldn't help but stiffen his expression.

It is no longer possible to maintain the hypocrisy on the face.

The girl who is loved by the world looks at the young man who is hated by the world, and finally can't show a gentle expression anymore.

“……”

"It turns out that even I can be a hero. ”

Close your eyes.

In his chest, there was an endless sound of waves.

Rhodes knew that it was not the Endless Sea that a certain king had spoken, and it was not the Okeanos who had placed his endless ambitions.

But...... His end.

The retaliation of the restraining force will end by tonight.

With the disappearance of Rodritte as a node, the millennium of discord will be ended.

Didn't tell anyone.

Because except for the girl next to her, this world will no longer have its own story.

In the epic sung by the world, the lord of the wind will be reduced to nothingness.

That empty victory will be completely back to square one.

"It's not 'even', it's not 'can' - the fact that you are a hero, no one can deny it. ”

"Is that so......

"No one can be you. ”

Ernel took Rod's hand and pressed it to his chest, sending his heartbeat to the other side.

The girl's face was filled with irrepressible sadness.

I made up my mind to say goodbye with a smile. But the clock is now — and it's still like this.

"Thank you, it's my greatest honor. ”

"You're welcome, this is the credit you deserve. ”

Time's up.

In the sky, a great sense of oppression is gradually intensifying.

Rodritte withdrew his hand and stood up.

Ignoring the girl's silent retention, he walked to the center of the courtyard.

"I-"

He said.

"—I once swore an oath. ”

There was determination in the flat voice.

It is an awareness that can only be possessed by martyrs who are aware of their own limitations, but who still have to persevere.

Also...... Rodrite Saltisius, the core beliefs that supported this man's life.

"If I could have a chance to be a born strong person – I would have to do something. Use that power to help, to save. ”

"If the world loves me, I love the world tenfold. ”

His figure blurred under the moon.

The silhouette is gradually distorted.

But only the voice that was getting farther and farther away was as clear as ever, and it came from the world of Honkai.

"If anyone is persecuted, protect him. ”

"When someone is sad, comfort him. ”

"Fight against all injustice. ”

"Fight against all evil. ”

"I've always believed – and tried to convince more people, if I do that...... If everyone does this, the world will change for the better one day. ”

"Even if it will bleed, even if it will be hurt, even if it will be misunderstood, even if nothing will be accomplished. ”

"It doesn't matter, I believe in it - as long as you insist on that kind of justice, the future will be more gentle and more beautiful. ”

"There's no need to think about it so much, a world where everyone is willing to lend a helping hand to the person in front of them - if that world needs a victim, then let me come. ”

"Let me, who aspires to be a hero, come. ”

"I'm not for nothing, my soul is always immersed in happiness. ”

Press your hands to your chest and feel the pounding heartbeat.

Yes, it is still possible to confirm it.

Rodrithe Saltisius's life was unrepentant.

"So, love the world, Adeil Saltisius. ”

"Love this world full of miracles - in that case, one day, we will meet again, right?"

Finally, it was time for the last moment.

Although there are many more things to say, although there are many more thoughts and loves to convey.

But there is no more time.

Looking back, the knight's face was the last of the lonely but gentle smiles.

A breeze swept across the courtyard, and Adeil jerked to his feet, but there was no knight in front of him.

"Farewell, Adeir. ”

Only the last thoughts remained, accompanied by the cyan wind, and passed into the ears of the black princess.

"No...... It's goodbye, Rodritte. ”
