Chapter 66: The Everyday Extraordinary
In the luxurious living room of the Tosaka family, the sense of distance is distorted, and the boundary of time is a little blurred, full of a certain sense of bitterness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Saber just sipped his tea, and his gestures were filled with an elegant atmosphere—probably a nobleman or a king, Rin thought to himself. If you are such a self-respecting person, you should not lie about this.
"You mean, Saber who has been in one place twice in a row is you? This...... What a coincidence. ”
Rin turned her head to look at Saber's handsome face, and in the other's pupils, she glimpsed the ruins in the flames, full of dark and passionate colors.
"Indeed, but because of that, I know the true name of the Heroic Spirit. The Heroic Spirit power she wields is none other than the ancient hero king, Gilgamesh. ”
"Gilgamesh ......"
Rin chewed on the meaning of this real name, the king in the world's oldest known narrative poem, "Sumerian Mythology", so it is not an exaggeration to call it the world's oldest and first king. The heroic spirit of both ancient and kings must have a very powerful treasure.
And in mythology, this king does not have any weaknesses. Gilgamesh didn't have a weapon like being cursed by the gods to die of illness, being shot in the back or heel, and being defeated if encountered. There is even a theory that Gilgamesh is a being born on earth by the gods in order not to lose their power and to make people worship the gods as gods forever.
With the addition of Darius and Berserker, the entire Einzberen lineup is unimaginably strong.
"That's right, I've never had the upper hand in a fight with him."
Saber said indifferently admitting his failures, so that everyone understood the situation.
"Alas...... Is that a great guy...... Along with summoning Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War, it's too cheating, and you can't do anything in this situation as a Ruler, right? ”
“…… I'm really sorry. ”
Joan of Arc, who noticed Rin's anger, had to bow her head and reluctantly admit it.
Honestly, with the use of the Spell, even who gets the Holy Grail can be precisely controlled. Because all it had to do was give the order to kill the Servant, who didn't want him to get the Holy Grail. But it is precisely because of this that you must define the laws of action for yourself.
But this is almost a demarcation line between the Ruler's jurisdiction, and if it continues, it will only be a "dictator", and it must be done in moderation.
I thought that the other party would scold me even more excitedly, however, Rin's tone suddenly slowed down.
"You're such a good fellow...... It's okay, so I'm relieved. ”
"Huh?"
Probably not expecting to be said at all, Joan of Arc's eyes widened.
"--So, I was just testing you. Isn't it dangerous to look at the Ruler who is strong on one side and casually favors the other? What I want is just a Ruler who can watch everything fairly, I won't agree with the Ruler to interfere in the course of the Holy Grail War as he wishes, what I want is indeed victory, and Saber and Illya are also motivated by this, but to be honest, I don't want more powerful Heroic Spirits to appear, which will only lead to more unpredictable developments in the future, do you understand? ”
“……”
Seeing Rin explain with such a serious expression, Ruler couldn't help but fall silent in embarrassment. This is what only people who have strong confidence in their own victory can say, and it is precisely because of his unwavering confidence that Rin will not be afraid of the powerful force of Einzbelen, but will be wary of the unknown position of Ruler.
"Rest assured, Master of Archer, I can assure you that there will be absolutely no hindrance to 'normal' fighting behavior or taking sides."
Joan of Arc said with a serious expression on her face. At this time, Rin suddenly asked unexpectedly.
"But even if you say so. This one next to you is ...... Zieg-kun, right? If you had the androids of Einzbelen with you, could you have taken this as a reason? ”
What a shrewd Master—Joan of Arc's expression was a little hesitant, it was the right choice from her "revelation", but it was hard to explain to others. As soon as she was about to speak, Ziggy explained.
"Because in this Holy Grail War, there is still an unstable 'evil' lurking. I've got to beat it......"
"It? Who is it? ”
"I'm not sure...... But if you see it with your own eyes, you will also understand that it is some kind of ...... Something inexplicably evil. ”
Just thinking about it, a strange sense of fear spread throughout my body, as if something like a bug creepy crawled around my internal organs, making people want to vomit.
This is fear, although there is nothing to be done, but with the heart of "Ziggy", there is no escape from this malicious power.
"Including Angelica, all the androids in Ainzbelen, we are just dolls. I didn't think I would be rescued at all, but I just went to death as a weapon. All along, I was just blessed to escape from Einzbelen and have a long lifespan, so I shouldn't just live an ordinary life, such a future...... It's not my dream. If you don't kill that guy, no one in the world will survive in peace, it's that simple. ”
Ziggy said sincerely. Because he was saved, he had to save other people in the same situation as him, and because he was favored by justice, he had to defeat evil, and this newly-born artificial man had a very simple mind.
"Yes, then please don't do anything unplanned, that would be no different from giving up your 'luck'."
Listening to Ziggy's words, Rin was silent for a moment, then smiled meaningfully.
"Ahh
……
……
Because of her status as a Ruler, Joan of Arc couldn't stay in Rin's house for too long in every way. After exchanging this information, he and Ziggy left for the Winterwood Church in a neighboring town.
After she leaves, Rin and Archer return to the room, ready to deal with the next step in this situation.
"Archer, for you Heroic Spirits, the more magic the Master, the stronger it is, right?"
Archer nodded slightly, but Rin's eyes became confused by the topic, and he couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
"Yes, but it's not that easy to increase your mana, you don't think you want to attack humans or something, do you?"
There is nothing surprising about the Servant attacking humanity in itself. As a spirit that lives on mana for food, the Servant not only receives mana replenishment from the Master, but also obtains power by absorbing human souls. Incompetent Masters who are unable to provide the Servant with enough mana will sometimes make up for the lack of mana in the form of sacrifices to the Servant.
But Archer's understanding is that for Rin, attacking humans to obtain magic is unnecessary and hateful.
"I won't do that, but if the other party cheats, we have to come up with some cheating methods, right?"
Rin quickly denied, a tough glow in the depths of her eyes. Archer stared straight at her, silent.
Is it going to be done? In the "past" where Rin is, that magic dress -
