Note: This article has nothing to do with the previous article. It's a fanfic short story of FGO. The main character of this article is Skaha. It's about the story of the Heroic Soul and Skaha.

Ⅵ

Human beings do not have wings, so they cannot fly freely in the sky.

Skaha is human, though she doesn't die.

Without wings, she naturally can't move freely in mid-air. If you have nowhere to borrow, you will naturally ......

You Xifeng made a spear throwing motion, and raised his red spear high in his right hand, although there was a sharp pain in his elbow, but the surging blood in his chest was enough for him to ignore his pain.

[Clairvoyance] allows him to control the distance to Skaha with precision.

[Strange Power] convinced him that his throwing gun would hit Skaha in mid-air.

[Strong] allows him to ignore the pain in his arm and throw the next blow smoothly.

If it weren't for the Liberation Treasure, reversing the cause and effect, and the ordinary red spear could still cause damage to Skaha.

However......

Everything in this world is not as beautiful as imagined.

"Taking advantage of the fact that Gae-Bolang couldn't reverse the cause of my death, it was a good move to get myself back to the ground and trap me in mid-air. However, the idea is still too simple. Considering my abilities, you should have thought of it. ”

Locked in mid-air, Skaha didn't panic at all, her voice calm, like a teacher evaluating a student's exam papers.

In fact, in Skaha's eyes, today's battle is just that.

In mid-air, Skaha turned around, the purple shadow swirled, turned over, and threw the red spear in his palm towards the wind!

You don't even need your real name to emancipate.

In the hands of the Queen of the Demon Realm, Gae-Bolang is just an ordinary weapon.

Because there is no additional means of entertainment, she can only improve her martial arts again and again, again and again, until, one art is superb.

The spear that has been used countless times, as long as you touch it with your hands, you can understand its emotions, and the carefully forged magic spear, as long as you throw it, is the strongest treasure!

The crimson spear burst out in mid-air with a magical roar that bloomed like a peony flower, and the spear that shimmered with purple brilliance quickly split in mid-air, ten, hundred, thousand...... Can't count! For a while, the red gun shadow in the sky shrouded the field of vision!

And she herself, also turned around in mid-air, from the bottom up, the six flying red spears that were ready to pursue the Youfeng had already arrived at Skaha's side, and a gun obediently landed in her palm, and the slender and powerful legs borrowed on a spear, and the whole person threw a spear like a spear, rushing towards the Youfeng on the ground!

"Tsk! Worthy of Mr. Skaha! ”

You Shifeng secretly complained in his heart, the heavy rain of the gun, just like it looked, was extremely powerful.

If it was Cúchulainn, maybe it would be fine. That person was born with a strange ability called [Arrow Avoidance and Protection], and as long as it is a flying prop, it can be avoided with the eyes to confirm it.

The wisdom of the Demon Realm can only simulate the [technology that human beings have acquired through hard work], if it is this innate talent, it will not work.

So...... That's all I can do......

The roar of a mana explosion.

The sound that is too intense makes people's ears lose their sense of hearing, and they don't feel noisy. The dust that burst out completely concealed the boy's blue clothes.

In mid-air, Skaha stared, and his clairvoyance was activated again, looking for the figure of his stupid apprentice in the dust.

Countless guns rained down, and the scattered guns were scattered in the forest of bullet pillars, and the unique gloomy dust of the Shadow Country was dispersed, which was a special existence that could obscure the light, because the light was obscured, naturally, and could not reflect the light to the pupils. As long as he covered his figure with this thing, not even Skaha could find his whereabouts.

Skaha sighed, it looked like he couldn't track him down, right? Then it is time to reposition yourself and wait for his next attack.

Stepping on the tail end of a spear post with one foot, Skaha stood up on one leg steadily, really with the pride of being able to see the mountains at the top, holding the red death gun in both hands, her eyes the same color as the blade of the gun carefully searched for the smoke and dust that gradually dissipated.

A pillar of spear flew out.

Needless to say, Skaha's gun doesn't bounce off for no apparent reason.

Looks like he threw it in, right?

Skaha then fired the gun that flew to his forehead.

"Sneak attacks didn't work for me. Let's attack it openly. ”

"Huh, who knows?"

You Shifeng was resolute, carrying a red gun, and slowly walked out of the shadows that were about to dissipate.

"Worthy of Mr. Skaha. It's the first time I've seen that usage. ”

"Then you've got a lot of [firsts]."

Skaha chuckled and retorted casually.

As if he had given up, You Xifeng picked up the spear with both hands and put it around his neck, with a harmless expression on his face.

But Skaha knew he wasn't that kind of person.

Ambition?

Give up lightly?

No, he's not. He's the kind of man who's more appropriately called berserker than a spearman.

As long as he is involved in fighting, he will definitely fight until the moment the blood is shed.

This is......

A new scheme?

Skaha pondered, trying to work backwards from her apprentice's thinking pattern......

"Got it!"

He declared.

"What?!"

Even Skaha, who had always looked indifferent, couldn't help but show a stunned expression. Witnessing this expression, You Shifeng showed a look of satisfaction.

"It's wonderful."

As he spoke, his figure gradually became translucent.

And Skaha, who has no intention of caring what he's talking about, has no heart anymore!

Because, that man has come behind her!

"I see! Is that your idea? ”

Skaha's brow furrowed, clearly understanding what his apprentice had just done.

It was a combat technique that brought the wisdom of the Demon Realm into full play.

Hide yourself through a smoke screen.

With the help of [Breath Blocking], hide your figure.

With the help of [Shadow Clone] or some other ability, create a clone. Let him come out with his gun to attract attention.

Then taking advantage of this opportunity, he kept his breath blocked, and just happened to attack from behind with his bare hands!

"Nice tactics."

Although Skaha praised him, the expression between his eyebrows was not at all relaxed.

Turning the red gun in her right hand, she quickly stabbed at the man in front of her.

However, the blade of the gun passed through.

It's fluttering, and there's no real sense of attack.

"This is the Phantom?!"

Skaha's eyes quickly turned, and sure enough, the man with the spear before was his true body!

What a calculation!

This is the technology that can only be used by understanding Skaha's way of thinking!

But!

"You don't always have the means to win! You can't kill me with Gae-Bolg! ”

"Then give it a try! Tyrannical Deaththorn Spear!! （Gae-Bolg-Alternative）”

You Feng, who had already jumped into the air, held the spear in one hand, and his right hand was wide open in the gesture of embracing Skaha. His chest, facing Skaha.

If you don't look at the weapons in the hands of the two, it is almost like a scene of heart-to-heart complaints between couples!

And in his hand, the rushing crimson magic power mixed with the traces of pitch black, bursting with a majesty that people could not ignore, the red spear, drawing a strange angle in the air, flying in all directions, around the strange angle......

Laugh at.

Skaha's heart ached.

Looking down, the blood-colored spear had pierced her chest.

"This ...... How can it be? ”

The sharp pain caused Skaha to suddenly feel like he was in a trance.

How long has it been since you've experienced this feeling?

Although, in the face of his apprentices, he subconsciously kept his hand, how could he ...... Something that Setanda can't even do...... He?!

Really...... He's always thinking of weird things, huh?

Look at his face again, and under the mask, there is a childlike smile.

Finally, that wicked, mocking smile vanished. All that remains on his face now is the joy of being a student and getting good grades.

"Teacher...... I did. Have a good experience...... This feeling of death! ”

Ⅶ

Skaha will not die.

Therefore, it makes no sense to liberate Gae-Bolg-Alternative. Because no matter what, you can't let the tip of your spear get the result of [Piercing Skaha's Heart], and if you can't get the result, you can't reverse the cause and effect.

So...... It would be nice to think differently.

Wouldn't it be nice if it hadn't hit Skaha's heart?

Wouldn't it be nice if, just just Skaha's heart, on the trajectory of this gun's attack?

There were two people present.

If you can't aim at one person's heart, then just aim at another's heart.

Yutatsumi Liberation Treasure ...... The aim is your own heart.

Because, that is his own heart, as long as he doesn't dodge, even if he is A-level lucky, he will be pierced by the blade. He and Skaha's figures were almost in a straight line, and the distance between the two was less than thirty centimeters.

The crimson blade of the spear, stabbing a sharp trajectory in the air, aimed at the user's heart, turning at a strange angle.

Yes.

From the very beginning, this gun, was not meant to attack Skaha. Skaha just happened to be in the trajectory of this gun.

The blade of the gun pierced through Skaha's vest and stabbed through her chest with a blow that shattered the user's heart.

However...... He was still smiling. Laughing like a child.

The corners of his mouth curled triumphantly.

"I did it."

Such a proud declaration.

Liquid of almost the same color as Gae-Bolang trickled out of the corners of his mouth, his teeth were stained red, and the faint yellow skin under the mask flushed with excitement.

Skaha didn't know why, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Could it be a wound?

Still is...... What else?

Skaha didn't quite understand the feelings. After all, she lived too long.

If a person lives too long, he will become forgetful, and a long time is enough for a person to forget all feelings.

He understands.

Because, this is self-preservation.

If you don't know what fun is, then it's not boring.

Skaha often classifies herself as non-human, but in that sense, she is still human. Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is the most fundamental reaction of human beings, or rather, living beings.

"I didn't expect it...... My body also has a day when it is pierced by this gun. Well done. Swimming. ”

Her expression softened a lot. His red eyes were full of praise. She let go of the gun in both hands and remained in a position of standing at the end of the gun, holding his body with both hands.

"Ah, didn't you say that...... I'll ...... one day will kill you. ”

His voice grew softer.

Skaha's chest grew more and more dull.

"Why? Why are you so persistent? ”

She couldn't understand it.

In fact, she won't die.

Even if Gae-Bolang pierced her heart, she still wouldn't die.

Although in terms of hurting her body, You Shifeng was the best among the disciples of all generations. None of the others did that.

However, she still won't die. The only person who was broken in the heart by this shot and fell into a certain death situation was only this stupid disciple from beginning to end.

"Hehe, because ...... I want to be ...... Heroes. ”

Ⅷ

The first time I met Skaha, he was sluggish.

In this Shadow Country, everything has no color, dark gray, light gray, and white, these are the three colors of the Shadow Country. There is no such thing as absolute black and white, a chaotic space.

Here, it will only be depressing.

And in this lifeless border, only the figure of that person is so clear.

That beautiful purple was the only color in his vision.

The crimson twin guns were the only thing that ignited his fighting spirit.

She...... It's so beautiful.

Is...... Such loneliness.

People with similar moods will know that they are of the same kind just by looking into each other's eyes.

This woman, like herself, is a very boring person.

He was sure.

Then, there was nothing to say, he was beaten badly by Skaha.

Although she and Cú Chulainn were holding the same gun, the skills of these two people were completely different.

If you can fight evenly with Cúchulainn, then you have no power to fight back against Skaha.

At this time, he suddenly understood why Cúchulainn had that mocking smile on his face when he gave him the way. I'm afraid he already knew that he would be beaten to the ground, right?

From that moment on, the teenager was no longer bored.

He has a goal in life.

Met someone who made himself enough to be a target.

Want to surpass her.

To defeat her.

The life of a teenager has a goal. It's not boring.

Skaha. This is the one who saved the teenager from emptiness, boredom, loneliness, loneliness.

So......

Ⅸ

"Now...... It's my turn...... Save Teacher Skaha......"

His tone became weaker and weaker, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter.

"Because...... I want to be ...... Teacher Skaha's ...... Hero...... Just for you alone, become a hero. ”

“…… Really, it's stupid. ”

Skaha couldn't help but laugh.

"yes...... Stupid crying. But...... I did it. Back then, you saved me from loneliness. Right now...... I want to save Teacher Skaha......"

"Ah, thank you. You've done a great job. ”

Although, she won't die.

However, at the moment when his life was dying, Skaha did not hesitate to lie for him.

"yes, so can I ask for a reward?"

"Well, you name it."

The boy's head hung weakly on Skaha's shoulder, and he couldn't support it just by the simple act of raising his head, and his own magic spear pierced his heart, which was an incurable wound. Soft black hair, rubbing against Skaha's cheeks, tickled her.

"Please...... Laugh a little. Revealing the kind, cheerful, bright, and pretty...... Smile. ”

Speechless.

Skaha quietly hugged his back and closed his eyes. The corners of the mouth are hooked.

Ⅹ

(Speaking of which...... Did he see my smile back then? Will he be satisfied? ）

Skaha suddenly had this question in her heart, and when she opened her eyes, the blue-white color of Chaldea and the architectural style full of modern technology were reflected in her blood-red eyes.

Sometimes, she suddenly forgets that she is already a Chaldean Heroic Spirit.

The people are burned, and the country of shadows disappears. Skaha, who would not have died, descended to Chaldea as a heroic spirit.

This is...... How long has it been?

The undead queen has no concept of time.

Now, she couldn't remember the boy's face, or the details of his clothes. The only clue that can be said is the half mask on his face.

"That...... Miss Skaha, are you alright? ”

Beside her, the pink-haired girl asked timidly.

This man, called Matthew, was an indispensable member of this Chaldeans.

"Mmmm

On the other side, the orange-haired girl with a cute voice like a hamster is called Fujimaru Rika, the only lord of this Chaldea. However, it is still far from complete.

"Hey, can you do it, Master?"

On the table on one side, Cuchulainn had a mocking look on his face, carrying a red gun and picking his chin, revealing a narrow look.

As far as this behavior of bullying the girl you like is concerned, are you a child?

Skaha couldn't help but complain about him in her heart.

Today is the day of the Chaldean call.

In order to summon the Celtic Heroic Spirits, Fujimaru Rika specially gathered the Celtic Heroic Spirits together.

Well, having said that, in fact, only Cú Chulainn and himself are Celtic.

What Fujimaru Rika said, the appearance of the master and the heroic spirit will affect what kind of heroic spirit is summoned, as long as everyone in the Celtic department is around, it can increase the chance of the Celtic heroic spirit being summoned or something, which makes people laugh.

Looking at her nervous hands clenched into fists, staring motionlessly at the constantly rotating ball of magic light in the summoning array, Skaha said to Matthew, "I feel that the Master's mental condition is more worth worrying about than me. ”

"Ahaha...... None, irrefutable. ”

Matthew had an embarrassed expression on his face, and hurried over, shouting from his seniors.

What a beautiful scene.

Skaha thought so.

Once, she could not have imagined that she would be summoned to such a happy place as a heroic spirit.

Suddenly......

The figure of that person flashed in her memory, and she couldn't help but start to remember.

The magic is getting more and more surging, and it looks like the summoning is over. What kind of Heroic Spirit will it be? If only it were Fergus, his sword would definitely be able to ......

No, no, no, forget it, that person's personality is too terrible for a little girl like the Master.

The silver light exploded, and in the middle of the summoning array, a man with a dazzling blue arc of light stood up.

Steel boots, a blue two-piece Celtic robe, a white shirt inside, a metal arm guard on the right arm, a beige cloak on the left, black broken hair, and half of his face covered by a silver mask. A red gun, clutched tightly in his hand.

"The Lancer of the Servant, here comes in. For you, my gun. ”

He said this, but the ripe brown eyes crossed Fujimaru Rikka and fixed straight on Skaha's face.

(Heh, this kid...... Really...... ）

"Hmm."

She chuckled softly, turned around, and smiled brightest at him.

"Welcome to Chaldea, come on to save people."
