Chapter 5: The Thoughts of a Fictional Girl

Lohia sat alone in the woods on the edge of the city, quietly gazing out at the distant market.

Trouble.

One word perfectly describes the current situation.

Because of Surut's powerful flame attack, the market was burned, and even from such a distance, you could clearly see the black smoke rising from the city.

The wind sent the panicked voices of the residents over her, and she clearly felt the chaos.

Originally, Lohia thought that the familiar forest would calm her mind.

But......

It can't be quiet.

The green that used to make you feel at peace has become restless today.

All because of that sad truth.

Himself, not Robin Hood.

I am a fictitious person......

Whether it's looks, strength, or your own character. It's not good, even this attribute of staying in the forest to feel peaceful is given to me by others.

How sad it is that I have been fighting for my goal so far, only to be suddenly told that I am completely imaginary...... So, what posture should you use to compete for the Holy Grail?

The sound of men's footsteps could be heard in the forest.

The reason why it is a man's voice is because men weigh more than women and have longer limbs, and through the frequency and weight of their steps, they can roughly calculate the height and weight of the person, so that they can roughly determine that the other party is a man.

Amusing.

Himself, even this ability is fictitious.

And with that, the smell of tobacco.

The person who came did not smoke, but there was a strong smell of tobacco wrapped around his body, which shows that this person has the habit of smoking on weekdays, and it is a great addiction.

Who is coming......

Carl Winster.

The one-armed man with black hair walked casually towards him.

Originally, the two were enemies.

No one knows what happened in that battle, why, Carl is still alive, and why, will Lohia help him hide it?

The only relational link between these two people is interest.

Therefore, even if there is a consensus, it can only be because of interests.

"Well, are you sure? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

“………… Shut up. ”

Lohia was silent for a moment, unceremoniously using crude rhetoric to retort harshly.

“…… I see. Rest quietly until you recover. ”

“…… No, you come back. ”

Seeing Karl gesture to leave, Lohia stopped him.

"Is everything you told me true?"

"There is absolutely no falsehood. ”

"I ...... Can't agree with you...... But...... I have to admit that your proposal is very attractive. ”

"Of course, I'm trying to convince you from your point of view. Of course it will be tempting. ”

Karl pointed this out unceremoniously, and Lohiya sneered: "Are you here to make peace, or are you here to fight?"

"Either way. You need to calm down now, and if a shot from me calms you down, I can give you my left leg. ”

“……”

Lohia quietly raised her rifle, aimed it at Karl's leg, and said silently: Do you think I don't dare?

However, Karl didn't move, and Lohia didn't pull the trigger.

"Enough...... Talking to you, I am indeed inferior to you. ”

She admitted it and put down her gun.

She can shoot.

It is also possible to kill him.

However, there is a fatal problem.

"So, are you willing to accept my proposal?"

"Ah...... I understand. When the time comes, if you dare to play any tricks before the Holy Grail......"

"Well, you're going to make me shudder when I see green, right?"

"Pull the trigger and shoot you, not even a hundredth of a second, much faster than if you were to use the Command Spell. ”

Lohia threatened him fiercely, and Karl nodded.

It seems that the two have a shocking conspiracy about the Holy Grail.

"So, did you do what I said?"

“…… Well. ”

Lohia jumped from the branch, her dark green robe covering her from head to toe.

Her movements are sharp and make Carl feel sophisticated.

"The decisive battle will be in the forest, and then the battle will be fought here in a mid-range position, Saber will reach my position in one breath, and the master will fight with me. ”

"That's right. I believe in Tsukahara. That person, will think of the skills to deal with Saber. With Saber's character, she will never use Noble Phantasms on you. So, here's your chance, just look for it and kill her with one blow. Unlike her, your Phantasm is permanent and makes use of your shooting skills and traps. ”

"Hmm. ”

"After winning, give me the Holy Grail. ”

“……”

She hesitated.

However, she thought of Karl's words again, and in the words, the earnest words, did not seem like a lie.

Seeing her hesitation, Carl continued.

"Ignore the kid's theory that [wants nothing to happen], the Holy Grail is not for that kind of place!"

“………… I...... I see. ”

Although it was painful, Lohiya endured it and agreed to him.

She...... Betrayed Tsukahara Mingshi's wishes.

Because, in that battle, Karl persuaded her.

Convince her that it was a completely wrong thing.

"Then, I'll set up a spell against Saber in the forest, you, just come on. I trust your technique, but ...... Don't be weak, it's not a betrayal of Tsukahara, it's something that's good for him, for you, and for the world. ”

“………… Ah, I'll do my best. ”

Lohiya put a hood on herself with one hand, and the whole person disappeared into the forest, breath blocking is really a very powerful skill, according to the usage, there are a variety of excellent fighting methods.

Carl silently looked in the direction she was leaving, and did not speak.

——————————————

At night, the panic of the citizens of Shallow Creek did not ease at all, whether it was the fighter planes, the sky changed drastically, the roaring fire attacks and other battles, everything imprinted deep fear in the hearts of the citizens of Shallow Creek, and made them unable to help themselves.

This kind of panic is unforgettable and difficult to subside.

Lohia stood on the roof of Abner's workshop, quietly overlooking the ground.

The starry sky tonight is beautiful.

There are thousands of stars.

This was the first time Lohia had seriously looked at the starry sky of this world.

Because, in the past, either there was an observation mission, or the street lights were too bright, and the stars in the sky could not be seen clearly.

Today, however, is different.

Because everyone is panicking and congested on the streets, even if they sleep on the streets, they don't want to go back home. I am afraid that my home will be shattered by force majeure in the next second. During this time, there are too many such things.

Just as after an earthquake, people don't want to go back to their houses, and even though it's just as dangerous outside, people can at least feel better.

Tsukahara wants to restore this boundless fear, and let this time return to before the Holy Grail War began. In his words, these people are innocent and should not be caught up in such a thing as the Holy Grail War and spend the rest of their lives in fear.

I also support this idea.

For this reason, she gave up her desire to die with Robin Hood as a member of them, and chose to support Tsukahara Mingshi.

Strength can be exercised, wisdom can be cultivated, but this tenderness to others cannot be imitated.

But...... This wish, however, was criticized by Carl as unrealistic.

What's even more terrifying is ......

Lohia actually accepted his claim.

Even now, she finds it hard to believe.

Because, I never thought of betraying my master, but I ...... What is the right wish and what is the wrong desire?

Incomprehensible, incomprehensible...... Yourself, is it wrong to want to help Tsukahara Mingshi get the Holy Grail?

To make a calm person like Lohia so chaotic shows what kind of demonic whispers Carl used to persuade her at that time. It's rare to find someone who can mess up Lohia to such an extent.

"Master...... I, am I the right choice? No...... Until then...... I...... Is my existence really correct?"

"Lohia?"

Obviously she was just talking to herself, but the familiar voice of the lord really came from behind her! She was startled, like a kitten, she almost didn't jump up, she turned her head openly, under the moonlit night, it was the kind of face that Tsukahara Mingshi was used to, the young man's face was more angular than at the beginning, and the look of his eyes was much sharper.

Speaking of which, the first time the two met, it was also a night.

While summoning the Heroic Spirit, he was attacked by the Assassin. Lohia suddenly appeared and saved the two.

At that moment, it will always be an indelible scenery in the hearts of the two.

"What's the matter, if you don't mind, can you tell me about it?"

Tsukahara Mingshi showed a gentle expression.

Looking at the young man's obviously much more mature expression, Lohiya was suddenly a little speechless.

"Ah, nothing, Master. It's just a small thing. Please don't care. Just about ...... What kind of mood should I use to accept the fact that I am not Robin Hood, but a pseudonym? I...... Is my existence correct?"

It is rare for Lohiya to show such a hesitant attitude, she usually has a heroic and resolute attitude, but today, she rarely shows confusion and worry. However, Tsukahara smiled, and smiled even more happily.

"Ah, then, let's talk, Archer. ”

Sure enough, Archer is also an ordinary girl. She had always been so reliable that Tsukahara had forgotten about it. She is just a girl, and when she encounters so many things, she will naturally be confused, painful, and hesitant. So, it's your responsibility to help her solve these troubles, right?

After all, you can only lag behind in the battle, so let's help her as much as possible on weekdays
