The streets of Fuyuki City are sparsely populated, a far cry from the crowds of the past.

It's a night scene that only appears in a decayed city, but the word for decay is not suitable for the thriving Fuyuki.

This is still happening because of the battle of the Heroic Spirits.

"Curfew, ah......"

Although neither Purple nor Elquit likes watching TV, they can still learn about the announcement of the Fuyuki City Hall from the newspaper.

Saber and Lancer's battle in the harbor was defined as a terrorist bombing attack, and Caster's hobby led to a series of murders, and although the truth was covered up by the church and association in the government, the general public was warned to go out less at night, and there were not many stupid people who did not believe it under the strong warnings of the government.

However, it is also a good thing for magicians.

"Pray that you don't get affected, happy people......" Purple sighed softly as her gaze swept over the people who were hurrying by.

It's happy not to know the truth, but once it is affected, it is helpless, is it lucky or unlucky? As far as he is concerned, perhaps he would rather struggle in wakefulness than dream in the unreal.

Even though sometimes I wish I could dream.

Ziyin was submerged in the shadow of the houses in Xindu, changing direction from time to time.

A patrol car with red police lights on slowly passed by, searching for lone citizens in the city.

The big culprit has faded away, but the small stage play is still unfinished.

"Xiao Zi, don't you want the Holy Grail?" Erquit, who was following behind Purple, finally couldn't help but ask in the shadows.

Although there is no objection to Zi coming forward to negotiate with the Heroic Spirit, the girl's heart is not without doubts.

"Do you speak of the reward for victory in this war? It's not worth much to me when it's intact, let alone after the mutation. Purple replied in a muffled voice.

Although he is not uninterested in the third magic, it is enough to get the research materials of the Einzberen family, the back door of the Great Holy Grail is the exclusive privilege of the Einzberen family, he can't use it, and the Great Holy Grail is still contaminated, so he didn't bother about it.

"Mutant ......" Erquette noticed the key words in the purple words, but what she cared more about was not here,

“…… Regardless of this, that is to say, Xiao Zi never planned to ask for something that could fulfill her wish from the beginning? Isn't it pointless to try to gather allies and fight other Heroes? Erquit's tone was surprised.

"Ah, you think that's it...... It seems that Ms. Anne doesn't believe my words very much. In the darkness, Purple's face couldn't help but smile.

The reason for participating in the Holy Grail War was to save face and find companions for the Edfeldt family, and this reason was that Elquit did not want to believe it.

But these two reasons do pale in the face of magicians, and for other magicians...... Thinking of this, Zi's smile disappeared without a trace.

"It's incredible, Xiao Zi hasn't realized this?" Elquit grumbled.

"Well, I've known from the beginning that with Elquit, it wouldn't have been a pointless thing for me to come to Fuyuki, but I'm here anyway."

Purple said as if looking at herself.

"No, I can't believe it, I know that doing these are useless actions, why are you still actively involved in them and waste time?" The girl's voice was raised a few degrees.

She has been instilled with the idea of not doing unnecessary things from birth, so in her opinion, everything to be done must have a meaning and purpose, not like Purple......

"As long as it doesn't feel like a waste."

"Huh......?"

"Wouldn't it be too tiring to add a plan or goal to everything? Some things are useless, but isn't it fun to experience them as part of life? For example, if you spend an afternoon at the top of a mountain, you can meet and talk to people from history and understand their beliefs, and it will be interesting to look back on them later, and you will really regret it if you miss it. ”

“…… I don't understand. Can you happily recall the meaningless things you have done before? ”

"As long as you don't regret something, memories are a happy experience, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes, it's not fatal, I just hope that this kind of memory can continue, some people say that life is meaningless, but I believe that as long as you keep in mind the original mood, you can get new happiness from meaninglessness every day."

There was an unpredictable emotion in Zi's words, and her eyes were erratic.

"I don't understand Purple's lifestyle...... I don't understand, I haven't done anything meaningless. I wouldn't be interested in unnecessary things so far......"

At this moment, the girl suddenly felt that a new mist surged up on the young man who had seen through it.

"Trying to experience human food is a meaningless thing...... Erquit, in fact, what you said to me has nothing to do with the hunt for Roya, so this state has been very wrong from the beginning. ”

Purple stopped in front of the steps leading to a guò speakeasy.

“…… It seems that it is also said that I want to protect Xiao Zi, so I have to follow you, and I also feel that I seem to have changed. ”

"Really? I'm also thankful to touch that not only did I waste so much time as a servant, but I also had to be bothered by my terrible performance. ”

Under the light of the neon lights on the side of the street, Purple's expression was unusually calm.

"Hmm...... Yes...... Sorry ......"

"I still need time to think about it, Erquit, until then, I can't tell you an answer, but when the time comes, I'll be the first to tell you, are you willing to accept it?"

"Xiao Zi, is this an agreement?"

Elquit's expression became serious, too.

"Well, sort of...... Next, let's get rid of the other player who should be out, Elquet. ”

Ten seconds later.

In the dark bar, a blue light bloomed.

Bang!
