1- A long-lost calling
It's not the first time.
Long before consciousness returned to itself, that distant memory was imprinted on this body...... Even if that's only one-third of "itself".
There is no color in the still space, and when you are here, all the senses are frozen.
This is a gateway to another world...... To put it more accurately, it's a channel to a parallel world.
"Really...... Why do I have to do this?"
As the guardian of this world, he even surpasses the former creator god, and is enough to open up the existence of the world by himself...... Regardless of time or space, the existence of "self" is the only ...... That's how it should be.
"Sterling silver and iron. The Grand Duke who made a pact with the cornerstone. The ancestor is our master Hubin Oak. ”
"Block the flowing wind with a wall, close the gates of the four directions, and set out from the crown and circulate the three-way road from the crown to the kingdom."
From time to time, the summoning incantation passed over his ears, as if it were far away from the sky, but also as if it were close at hand.
Listening to the extremely familiar voice, memories poured out, and the corners of the mouth unconsciously rose slightly from that nostalgic time.
The ability to violently retain the ability to hear, speak, and think is proof of the strength of the "self". In fact, if he had this idea, it would not be a problem to move his body, and the barrier of time and space in front of him would only be "a little tricky" at best.
However, in order to avoid the coordinates being disrupted, there is no such idea.
Having said that, it's impossible to use amnesia as a shame this time, what name should I use when introducing myself?
Of course, it is impossible to use the real name...... He himself didn't particularly like the name in mythology...... Why don't you use the first and last names of the disciples here?
“!!!!”
While contemplating, the colorless passage came to an end without warning.
The moving air, the feeling of gravity, the environment that I have seen many times, and...... The fact that he floated in mid-air, his head facing directly down, everything, regained color in an instant.
"Really...... It's been a long time since I've tasted this feeling. If I could, I'd love to change to a gentler way of summoning......"
As if resigned to his fate, at the end of the end, he sighed softly.
Then, with a bang, the magic combined with gravity made a thunderous sound. His own head, as expected, smashed through the roof of the bungalow and stuck into the floor.
.........
.........
"Ahh......h It's in the way!!"
With a bang, with a movement that did not match the girl, Rin Tosaka kicked the door open and entered the living room.
The living room was a mess, the furniture was either overturned or shattered, there was a lot of rubble scattered on the floor, and there was no doubt that some "something" had fallen from the ceiling.
“!!!!!”
In the middle of the crime scene, a silver-haired beauty in a kimono who looked impossible to be more than twenty years old stood quietly holding her arms.
The stunning appearance is so beautiful that it is breathtaking, and Rin Tosaka, who is a woman, was stunned for a moment. The ruby-like eyes seem to have a terrifying magical power, making it impossible to take one's eyes off after one glance. Although the chest is flat, it does not detract from the overall beauty.
“...... Are you my Master?"
The clear, soft voice, which tends to be neutral, wakes Rin Tosaka from her almost sluggish state, and at the same time reminds her that there are other things that must be confirmed than marveling at the beauty of silver-haired women.
A quick glance at the wall of the living room, where the surviving wall clock showed the correct time.
Then, Rin Tosaka finally remembered.
The clock at home is indeed an hour faster. Other words...... It's one o'clock in the morning, and she's actually an hour away from her best.
“...... Again, messed up. ”
Despair of doing something unbelievably stupid at such a critical moment, Rin Tosaka subconsciously reached out to hold his head, and a whining cry leaked out of his mouth.
“......”
Perhaps, I was a little upset that my question was ignored, right?
The silver-haired woman frowned slightly, but she still didn't say anything.
It is not clear what the standard of the Heroic Spirit is, but if it is based on human standards, there is no doubt that the appearance of a silver-haired woman is definitely the highest level, and it is impossible for her to say this as a person of the same sex.
“...... I can't help anything if I mess up, so let's reflect on it. ”
I'm angry because of my stupidity, but looking at the beautiful face of the silver-haired woman, coupled with that surprisingly good attitude, it's hard to blame the other party even if I'm not in a good mood.
"So, you're my Servant?"
Softly, answering the other party's question, Rin Tosaka looked at the silver-haired woman carefully, and then asked, "Can you let me confirm, what kind of servant are you?"
“...... Doesn't that seem a little strange in order?"
Without answering her question, after a long silence, the silver-haired woman frowned and asked, "When I am summoned, you are not in front of me...... Why am I in mid-air, and my head is facing down? If you can, please explain. ”
"Me, I'm calling for the first time. Problem dismissed!"
Imagine a little bit of the scene described by the silver-haired woman...... If it were a human, it would probably be killed on the spot, right?
Although it was an accident, and the other party looked unscathed, Rin Tosaka still replied a little weakly.
“......”
After listening to Rin Tosaka's answer, the silver-haired woman's eyebrows furrowed even more.
I can't say it...... Because I got the wrong time and caused the summoning to fail or something, I can't say it even if I tear her mouth.
"So, can you answer my question?"
In order to save his momentum, Rin Tosaka took a deep breath and asked again, "Is this a question as a master...... Aren't you Saber?"
"It's a misfortune that I didn't have a sword."
In less than a second, the silver-haired woman replied.
"That's exactly ......"
The timing was wrong, and instead of using the summoning array, it summoned the other party to the rooftop, and it was in a miserable posture of landing on the ground. For those who want to summon the strongest Servant in theory, it is not the slightest mistake.
“...... It's so stupid. With so many gems, it was not Saber who was summoned, which was really miserable. ”
“...... Ah, I'm sorry, I can't be Saber anyway. If you try again, it might be Caster or Assassin next time. ”
As if stabbed her in the dead hole, the silver-haired woman closed one eye in displeasure and posed as if she was making a fuss.
"Excluding Saber, Caster, Assassin and Berserker, you don't look like you're able to wield a spear or something...... That is, Archer?" While being satisfied with his reasoning ability, he suddenly sensed something from the silver-haired woman's speech, and Rin Tosaka's eyes widened in surprise, "Slow...... You said that next time you could be summoned as a Caster or an Assassin, in other words, you can be used for all three classes at the same time?!!"
"What does it mean to apply to ?......?"
"Woo, this is the Master's order, hurry up and answer me."
Ignoring the protests of the silver-haired woman, Rin Tosaka asked excitedly.
The so-called Servant is the hero who existed in the past. It has been sublimated in people's legends, and after death, it has been separated from the scope of human beings and elevated to another existence. Perform miracles, save people, and accomplish great deeds, and are called the spirits of the Heroic Spirit.
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, with faith and imagination, to manifest such a heroic spirit in the world is the call of the Holy Grail!
But...... There is a limit to such a calling.
Although it can be supplemented by people's imagination and beliefs, imagination and belief are originally derived from history and legends...... If there is no foundation, no matter how strong the imagination of the characters is, it is impossible to give the hero too many abilities. For example, some heroes whose lives are only weapons with swords cannot become a class like Caster anyway. On the other hand, if the hero is almost omnipotent during his lifetime, then even if he is determined to be ranked, it is good to only improve his abilities in one area, and the rest of his abilities will be more or less retained, which is definitely beneficial and harmless for dealing with different situations.
Hearing that the silver-haired woman is a universal hero who belongs to the latter, it is only natural that Rin Tosaka will be interested.
Although, all three of the above are very consistent with each other's weak appearance...... However, the ability to have three ranks at the same time, even if it's not Saber, it's actually like you've been drawn to the top?
"Forget it...... Take it to heart! My name is Sixteen Nights Chihiro, and I am the one who brought victory to you...... Let's get along with each other from now on, Master. ”
P.S.1: Well, although I was going to use a painting for this occasion, but because there are so many things I want to draw, I can't get on the schedule even if I think about it...... It just so happens that the sequel novel has been stopped for the time being.,As an alternative.,Here's an independent side story.。
P.S.2: However, I would like to state in advance that updates will not be timely...... There will not even be a guarantee, it will be written purely when it is free. Otherwise, I stopped updating (sequel novels) because I entered the exam and essay period, but I immediately dug a pit to keep it updated, that is, putting the cart before the horse.
P.S.3: For more information about the author's progress in painting, you can watch the Reboot Destiny Bar for details.
