, The man called Tsukahara's name very affectionately, obviously it was just a one-sided relationship, but he still remembered it so much, which really made him feel flattered.

Immediately afterwards, this shock was all transformed into guilt, after all, he originally promised others to help in the stage play, but as a result, he went back by himself because of the Holy Grail War. I don't know if they've got enough people.

"Don't care. After all, the Holy Grail War was destroyed like that, and the stage play or something couldn't be performed for a long time. So, it's none of your business. ”

The man on the other side smiled and helped him exonerate, and Tsukahara Mingshi was even more embarrassed, however, beside him, Rohia's eyes were cold, and under the wide white jacket, the magic circuit opened, and on the invisible skin of his right arm, traces of the blue-gray magic circuit quickly crawled.

It is worthy of Yuan Yingling, the reaction is really fast, and it wasn't until he saw her react with hostility that he realized what an exaggerated thing he just said.

"You, you know about the Holy Grail War?"

"Poof, that's a strange question. Well, anyway, let's sit down and have a casual chat. I'm really bored anyway. You don't have anything in particular you want to do, do you?"

Tsukahara Meishi carefully looked at the man in front of him, who looked to be in his twenties, wearing a cosplay non-commissioned officer uniform, and I don't know which anime it came from. The army-green waistcoat suited him very well, with a gray-green shirt underneath. Push on is camouflage pants.

Like, the last time I saw him, he was also dressed like this.

"Yes, that's what I did last time. It's a character outfit that I really like. ”

It was still what Tsukahara had thought in his heart, and before he could speak, he answered first.

"Who the hell are you? ”

Rohia frowned, after the so-called Holy Grail War, Tsukahara Mingshi became the target of public criticism, and many people wanted to dig out a little bit of the inside story from his mouth. In that Holy Grail War, as long as there is no problem with the brain, everyone will see that something is wrong.

Whether it is the eighth person who suddenly joined the war, or the jade seal of the Oriental Secret Treasure Inheritance Country engraved on the rules of the Holy Grail War.

If it were, the Holy Grail War was derived from the Western magic system, and even if it was unfolded in Fuyuki, Tosaka, Machiri (Makiri), and Einzberen of the Gosanjia were all Western magic. Eastern and Western magic can be said to be the kind of relationship between fire and water, and someone can actually engrave the magic of the West on the secret treasure of the East, which is already among the ranks of magic.

It's as if someone created a bottle that is both intact and broken, these two states should not exist at the same time, and the same is true of this Holy Grail War.

Moreover, even the three royal families did not succeed in creating the Great Holy Grail again, and the original Great Holy Grail, in fact, was simply accidental. Speaking of magic techniques alone, the three families of the Imperial Family can't recreate a Great Holy Grail now. Otherwise, the Tosaka family would not have been hostile for dismembering the Holy Grail.

There are also the qualities of the Immortals, who were not chosen from Valhalla, but were born from the wishes of the masters.

Tsukahara longs for family, or rather...... Love, whose life was ruined by the assassin X, became unfortunate and became dull and destitute. He longed for the care of others, hence the existence of Lohia.

Assassin X doesn't trust magic, his attitude towards the occult is [weapons], that is, he doesn't trust or reject, as long as he can really put the enemy to death, then it's no problem. With science as his main attack, he summoned Leonardo da Vinci, who had nothing to do with the devil and admired science.

Elena wants a heroic spirit who can listen to her quietly, after all, in the castle of Einzberen, she was born as Emiya Kiritsugu, only she listens to other people's complaints, no one cares whether she can accept it or not, one Elena dies, there will be countless Elenas who will be created and continue to endure everything. Therefore, all he wants is a goal to be able to talk quietly about his thoughts. So Fenrir is docile like a big dog outside of battle.

Aya Maki wants a ninja who perfectly obeys her orders, so Hattori Hanzo has a deplorable foolishness. This man, who is essentially a native of the Dirty Inkstone, has no trust in anyone because he has been betrayed by his titular granddaughter, and yet, he longs for a perfect tool to be used by him to become his best assistant in plundering the Holy Grail.

Mina Tosaka didn't want to participate in the Holy Grail War at all, her goal was to prove herself and make her grandmother admit that she didn't crave the Holy Grail and didn't have any special desires, so when she got Lu Bu's holy relics, the Peerless Flying General was thinking about betrayal all the time, because he was Mina Tosaka's [doesn't matter] wish, and his attitude towards the Lord was also [It doesn't matter who the Lord is, it's OK if you can win], if you can't win, then change. Good birds choose trees to perch.

EBNER hopes to have a friend who can face him sincerely, and a presence that can become his life goal and a reliable presence who can deliver his back. As a genius, he has suffered all the honors since he was a child and has been respected by countless people. However, few people really face this person. In his life, he has only seen the false smiles of others. So, with Leonidas, this man who radiates joy from the heart at all times, who exudes the smell of a warrior at all times. In the end, he also became the person Alberner aspired to be.

As for Tosaka Shirou, he simply wants to see each other again.

I want to see her again. The heroic knight king.

And which poor fanatic, because of his extremely ardent hope to bring disaster to the world, hoping to bring the world into a crisis of destruction, this summoned the demon god of fire, Surut. Which once burned the monster of the world.

In this, Fenrir and Surut are the beings that cannot be summoned in the regular Holy Grail War. Especially Surut, this has gone beyond the level of the Heroic Spirit, it is the level of the Divine Spirit.

However, none of these problems are problems, and they are all tolerated by this Holy Grail War.

What a terrible corrective power this is?

You must know that the Holy Grail does not have the power to [create] Heroic Spirits out of thin air, it is to [summon] Heroic Spirits from the Valhalla. And this Holy Grail War is to directly [create] the heroic spirit that the master wants, and the two are far from the same. It's like wanting to drive a car, and one person buys one and the other builds one with his bare hands, and the difference between the two is too far.

The shady curtain definitely exists. It's just that Tsukahara Mingshi never thought that he would be so close to him......

"You are...... The ...... of this Holy Grail War Initiator, right?"

Tsukahara thought for a moment and directly asked what he was most curious about.

From the moment he spoke, the atmosphere changed.

It was as if everyone around them had lost their color, their voice, and it was very quiet.

Probably, this is the magic used by the person on the other side, right?

"Why, I think so? I could have been sent by the Templar Church and the Magic Society. ”

"No, it doesn't make sense. Because I've seen you in Shallow Creek before. So, you can't be a member of the Templar Church and the Magic Society. ”

Tsukahara Mingshi said this for sure.

After a year of bad supplements, although the weakness of his magic talent has not changed much in his magic attainments, his knowledge has broadened a lot. Many problems that could not be discovered back then are now full of doubts.

"The relationship between the Templar Church and the Holy Grail War is one of overseer and overseer. If the Templar Church were here, there would have been someone to deal with the battles and disputes after the fact. But we apparently don't see it. It can be inferred from this that the Templar Church did not send people here. ”

"Wait a minute, maybe I'm derelict in my duties, or I'm a traitor to the Templar Church?"

The other side interrupted Tsukahara Mingshi in a playful tone, as if he was playing this matter with him as a language game.

"No way. If you are a traitor to the Templar Church, where is the mutiny? Because only the Magic Society, a sworn enemy, is strong enough to shelter a Templar escape. Those who can get the status of [Holy Grail War Monitor] in the Templar Church should have a certain amount of influence or strength, and the church will not sit idly by if such a person escapes. However, if you do betray the Magic Society, then your policy is very strange, and you have not shown your loyalty to the Magic Association by helping Ebenard, a member of the Magic Society, and at the same time expressing your loyalty to the Society, and you have not chosen to take the opportunity to take the Holy Grail and sacrifice it to the Society as a sign of loyalty. For the betrayer, this is impossible. As for malfeasance, I think it's exactly the same, and if it does, I'm afraid it will anger the Magic Association. And, most importantly, in a place where there are almost no Templar churches in China, there are people from the Templar Church, and I don't think that's possible. ”

Tsukahara Mingshi said his analysis in one breath, and the man opposite listened to the Tao, nodding his head while showing a happy look.

"Ah, wonderful analysis, although there are still many loopholes, there are a lot of things that are taken for granted, but the conclusions are very accurate, huh...... I'll give you seventy points. By the way, add ten points for entertainment, you look so serious, it's really interesting, give you eighty points, count you [good]. ”

With a happy expression, the man casually gave Tsukahara a score.

"So what?"

"Ah, the conclusion is, you guessed it. I did it. Well, there's nothing hard to admit, isn't it?

If it was the former Tsukahara inscription, he would probably be angry because of the word "play", right?

It's a pity that he is now who is extremely calm, he was born in the Tsukahara family, the eldest son of the Tsukahara family, and can always remain calm in any situation.

"I didn't find it interesting at all. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry about that. I think it's quite interesting. At first, I thought it might be the assassin who won, or the kid who used ice magic. I didn't expect it to be you in the end. Ah, that's so much fun. ”

Watching him repeatedly say that the terrifying scene was an [interesting] thing, Tsukahara Mingshi said in a deep voice, suppressed his anger, and said, "So, who are you?"

"The name is something that doesn't matter. You just call me...... Well...... Mr. Lee, it's okay. Now, have you ever heard of the fact that the magic of the East and the West is incompatible?"

"I've heard a little. ”

"The occult in the West is based on magic, using ether to hook heaven and earth. The Eastern Taoism emphasizes the use of qi to communicate with heaven and earth. It's completely different from the most basic structure. So, there are two completely different schools of occultism. I am an immortal of Eastern Taoism. In your Western parlance, it's a magician. Much better than magicians, immortals. ”

The young man said, smiling cheerfully, brushing his smooth chin, as if he had pinched a beard in mid-air, and he said with a smile: "Don't look at me like this, I am already more than two thousand five hundred years old." The so-called immortals, that's it. ”

He smiled heartily, this was too absurd to make Tsukahara Mingshi and Rohiya not know what to say, feeling that he was a madman, but looking at him, combined with the fact that he knew about the Holy Grail War, it was difficult to let go.

Moreover, about this mysterious China, the only country among the four ancient civilizations that does not need to use the "ancient" prefix, and the country whose civilization has never been interrupted, even if it really has great magical powers, it is not completely impossible.

Neither of them spoke, waiting for the immortal surnamed Li to continue to speak to himself.

"Hawkers, first of all, I apologize to you~ Because people have lived for so many years, it's really boring. It's super boring, so why don't you have to have some fun if you're bored?, I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble!"

Saying that, this young man who claimed to be an immortal actually hugged his fists and gave his hands, just like the ancients in the East, and apologized to the two.

"No, nothing...... However, there is one thing I don't understand. You're Chinese, aren't you?"

Tsukahara frowned and asked, "Since you are Chinese, why do you want to wage such a cruel war in your own country?"

"Hmm...... The question is delicate, first of all...... Where is the cruelty?"

With an innocent expression, he asked back.

"Isn't it cruel that the loss is so great, how many people have been displaced, how many people have lost their lives?"

"Then, we humans eat pork, don't you think it's cruel too?"

"Huh?"

"Tsukahara-kun, you are not Chinese, so you cannot understand the basis of our [occult]. We pay attention to the permanence of heaven, the nature of all laws, and the six reincarnations. Pure and inactive, self-cultivation. This is why it is rare to hear of a conflict between Eastern monks and Western magicians. For us, it is more meaningful to concentrate on cultivation than for a momentary battle of will. Moreover, we don't feel that human life has passed away, they just return to a new cycle of reincarnation and are born as new beings. ”

"No, no, no, that's not the problem. Isn't it the same if you don't interfere with their reincarnation? Why, do you have to let them suffer like this?"

"There are three reasons for that. ”

The immortal surnamed Li said this, holding the non-existent beard in his right hand, and said with a loving smile: "First of all, because the Eastern monks have no quarrel with the world and are not publicized, you Western magicians, I'm afraid you have almost forgotten that there are still us Eastern monks, right?"

His words left Tsukahara speechless. Indeed it is.

He also listened to Rin Tosaka and Abner give a rough explanation of the conflict between the interests of the Magic Society and the Templar Church in the Holy Grail War. Both places, indeed, treated China as a piece of cake and were ready to divide each other's rule, completely ignoring the fact that there were monks in China itself.

"You see, people are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, we have no quarrel with the world, we are pure and inactive, and as a result, people confirm that we are about to die, and there are dry bones in the grave, which is not good. Use this Holy Grail War to show them that there is no one in my Celestial Empire? No. We will not invade you, and you will not provoke us. So, in fact, it also includes the meaning of demonstration. What they need to be able to barely do, I can easily do alone. It's just a little distressed that the jade seal of the country, that kid didn't do anything wrong, but he was nailed to the assassin hard, and it is probably wronged now. ”

The immortal said it easily, and there was a happy expression on his face, and he didn't seem to be worried at all.

"The dragon...... No, are you alright?"

Although Tsukahara didn't understand the world of magic, he also knew that it was the strongest attack in the life of Assassin X, and he himself said that it could put the dragon into a deep sleep......

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. China's 5,000-year-old civilization will not be so interrupted. As the man said, the dragon seal will continue to sleep, sleep until everyone forgets about it, and sleep until the end of the world. As long as we don't wake him up. Well, in fact, there are few people who can wake him up. ”

Saying this, the young immortal seemed to puff up his chest quite proudly, and looked like: I can wake him up, I am very powerful.

"The second point is that modern Chinese are too utilitarian and too comfortable to live a life that makes their lives monotonous and boring. Pure and boring are two meanings. Moreover, they also lack some eye-catching spirits. Appropriate disasters can make people stronger and more disciplined. It's like raising flowers and plants, and occasionally you need to let them withstand the test of wind and rain in order to let them grow. From this point of view, I quite agree with the theory of a Western magician. So you see, although Shallow Creek suffered such a disaster, it was quickly rebuilt, right? The Chinese cannot defeat it. Whether we are invaded or targeted, even if this country suffers countless injuries and scars, it still cannot break us. As for the Chinese, they are really invincible. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, in the midst of a disaster, the brilliance of human nature is really beautiful. ”

This...... Tsukahara Mingshi also felt it.

In this Holy Grail War, in fact, everyone's wishes cannot be said to be right or wrong, and most of them use the Holy Grail with good intentions. Of course, it's [mostly]. Even the person who wants to burn the world, his original intention is to hope that mankind can unite in the face of great disasters and shine with the glory of humanity, but he is doing too much...... Exaggeration.

"So, what about the third point?"

Tsukahara asked.

"Ah, the third point is my personal interest~~ I'm sorry, people live for thousands of years, it's just going to be boring. It just so happens that in the last few hundred years, this game called the Holy Grail War has been so popular, but because of the incompatibility of Eastern and Western magic, we Eastern monks can't participate in it. So, after they disintegrated the Great Holy Grail, I tried to rewrite a Holy Grail War using our Eastern Dao technique. Well, it's kind of interesting to study this. ”

If the people of the Royal Three Family heard his statement, would they be mad?

Every magician is longing for the [Reach the Root] grand wish, in order to reach the root, the three families of the Imperial Family, painstakingly and painstakingly, after 3 Holy Grail Wars to finally have the rules of this occult ritual, was actually put in a playful state of mind, just like that...... Learn the past!

That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

He claimed to be an immortal, and sure enough, he had the power to match the name of the immortal.

"And...... The outcome of this Holy Grail War...... It's kind of a happy person, isn't it?"

He said so.

However...... That's right.

The assassin who did not know the joy died. In his words, it is to return to the cycle of life.

The monster that was entrenched in the house of Makiri died. The family was liberated...... However, are there really any survivors?

Mina matured a lot and began to study the Demon Dao in earnest.

Mr. Albert has found his purpose in life.

Himself, too, is with Lohia.

Truly...... Speaking of everyone individually, this ending is not bad. Although there are some places that cannot be let go.

"So, why are you in Shallow Creek?"

He has not yet explained this question.

If you just want to have fun, you don't have to come in person.

"Well, it's boring to look at from the outside. Again, it's the most interesting thing to be out into the world and observe the Holy Grail War in the closest place with the people!"

He smiled, his face bright.

He didn't hide that he was really looking for some fun.

Although Tsukahara Mingshi disagrees, he has to admit that he lives really spontaneously.

It's not about morality, it's not about rules, he just does what he thinks is fun, that's all.

And among those interesting things, there are other more profound things, and that's it. Tsukahara didn't know what to say about him for a while...... In the end, I can only come to one conclusion: he is the kind of person who lives freely, an immortal.
