"I see, what I felt before, is it you? It smells like a catastrophe of destruction. ”

On the roof of the building in the distance, a black figure with a large bow in hand neither hid nor avoided. He stood there, as if waiting for everyone to pass. Skaha's eyes shone with the glow of magic, which was her most commonly used skill [Clairvoyance], and the amplified vision immediately locked on the target.

Although because of the thick black fog wrapped all over the body, it is not very real...... If you look closely, it seems that he is not [entangled in mist] but that his whole person is [made of black mist].

For example, black dry ice will continue to dissolve into a smoke screen at room temperature.

Even so, the height, the physique, the big bow, and the stormy shooting......

This person is probably ......

Arash.

As the master of the Demon Realm in a foreign land, Skaha has wisdom far beyond ordinary people, so she can see some clues.

I'm afraid that this servant is the culprit behind the accumulation of death in Fujimaru Rika's heart.

This kind of dead remains cannot be explained by common sense.

They don't pile up because of how many people have been killed, or how many deaths have been caused, or how many deaths have been witnessed.

It's more about quality than quantity.

It's as if everyone has some toxins, harmful substances in their body. But the only ones that really cause people to get sick or even die are those that threaten a huge pathogen.

In other words, it was this man who caused so many rampage dead wreckage to pile up in her heart.

The death of this person was like a pathogen to her, and with the grief of losing her relatives and friends, Rika Fujimaru herself did not notice that she had been eroded by the remains of death.

Or, to use an analogy, iron filings and magnets. Normally, the dead are all iron filings, and if you want so many to gather in one place, you need a magnet-like [core].

I'm afraid that this person is the source of the great pain in Rika Fujimaru's heart.

If left unchecked, she will soon die.

Not death in the physical sense, but death in the spiritual sense.

This is often referred to as a crash.

Skaha picked up the red spear, and the beautiful trajectory turned freely in her hand, like a flying red butterfly. The silver blade of the spear pointed at the heart of the Black Shadow Servant.

"Don't!!"

Rika Fujimaru hugged her arm desperately.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Master."

Skaha smiled wryly, shrugged, and with a wave of his left hand, the spear swirled down on her shoulder.

"I can also see that he has no intention of harming him."

Generally speaking, the wreckage of death that accumulates in people's hearts will greatly lose their memories, and only instinct remains.

Skeletons kill the living by instinct.

Dragons hunt for food by instinct.

And he ......

"Even if you take on this form, do you still want to help the Master? How good you are. ”

Skaha lowered her head, the purple curtain of hair blocking her expression, listening to her tone, revealing indescribable tenderness and emotion.

When Fujimaru Rika heard her say this, tears welled up again, and she quickly shook the powerful female servant in front of her, and begged, "You must have a way!" You're so good! Save him! ”

"Miss Master, you can't do it."

Skaha shook his head, firmly stating that he couldn't.

"Why!"

"Because the [fate] is broken."

Unexpectedly, it was Yukisai Yagi who answered her.

Before, when Fujimaru Rika frantically summoned the servants, Yagi Yukisai was making a report.

Because he was making a report, there was some information about the control room that only he knew.

The Chaldeans had a ...... of their own Something like a database.

It records the connection with the various servants.

Servants who respond to the call will be registered on it.

This is what is often referred to as "fate".

Those who have met once, are willing to respond to the call, but have not yet responded to the call, will also be on it.

Generally speaking, after encountering certain Servants at the Anomalous Point, their desire to respond to the summons will increase. That is...... Reach a consensus, so that the servant feels that it is not bad under Fujimaru Rika.

And Arash's record ......

Gone.

This is impossible, the Chaldeans were originally formed as an organization in response to the possible end of the world, and naturally, the database they built was the most strictly controlled, and the Roman was almost certain that there were no bugs and there would be no such errors.

The only explanation is ...... Indeed, fate was broken.

Arash's arrows are arrows of equal exchange.

In order for humans to perform or even surpass the skills of the gods, they must pay a corresponding price.

In mythology, Arash shot the first arrow in exchange for his body, his own life.

And in France, he turned his soul, his bond with the Chaldeans, into an arrow, and shot a second arrow.

He had to do it for the sake of the victory that was bound to come.

"I don't care!"

Fujimaru Rika is like a angry little girl, venting angrily.

"I just want Arash! I don't want Arash to die like that! ”

"Little Girl......"

Skaha seemed a little angry, her red eyes narrowed slightly, and before she could finish speaking, Yagi Yukisai took the lead in snatching the conversation:

"Yes. It's about this kind of courage. So, go back. Continue to summon with Saint Quartz until you're satisfied. Me too, I can't feel at ease if I don't punch this guy. ”

Yukisai Yagi smiled and lightly punched the Shadow Servant in the shoulder.

However, the fist seemed to be stuck in a sponge, and there was no feeling of being hit.

"Saint Quartz? However, there is no longer ......."

"Yes. This is called private money. However, Fujimaru ...... You've got to cheer up, too. Otherwise, Arash's death would be meaningless. We are the ones who witnessed his death, and no one outside knows about this feeling, so they can only feel the weight of Arash through us. If we don't work hard, we won't work. ”

Yagi Yukisai paraphrases a sentence that I don't know from which light to see, and tries to encourage Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Yagi-senpai ......"

"So, whether it's sad or painful, but we must let him see our growth."

"But...... Arash ......"

Fujimaru Rika still couldn't untie the knot, Skaha sighed and shook his head, if that little girl's heartache could be untied in such a casual two sentences, there would be no such thing as this time.

A strong heart is hard to erod. Only when she falls into mental fragility will she let the wreckage in her heart run wild.

This time it was smaller than Skaha had thought. The scale she observed was much larger, but in reality, it was not that dangerous. I'm afraid it's because of this person that I did the job of a scavenger one step ahead.

Just as she was about to say something, the Shadow Servant stepped forward and held out his hand to her. The hand that seemed to be a gas and a liquid pressed on her head, like the feeling of getting wet in her hair when she was bathing.

He seemed to want to rub her hair.

Then, he realized that he couldn't seem to do such a thing, so he withdrew his hand and gave her a thumbs up.

"Arash...... I...... I'm an incompetent master...... It's all because of me...... If only I could ...... Wow...... Arash!! ”

Fujimaru Rika threw herself into his arms and began to cry bitterly.

Arash's Shadow Servant just let her hold her quietly, and after about ten minutes, she felt much calmer, and the Shadow Servant pulled away.

Fujimaru Rika was pressed on the shoulder by Yukisai Yagi, and although her eyes were red and swollen, she just stopped crying.

"Arash. I promise you that the next time we meet, we will be even better. So, please give me a lot of advice when the time comes. Later...... Later...... You must respond to us in the future, and come back to Chaldea! ”

Regardless of whether the Black Shadow Servant can convey this meaning to the main body of Valhalla, Yagi Yukisai said in accordance with his mood.

Arash's Shadow Servant nodded, and drew his bow to the east, the large black bow being pulled full like a solar eclipse.

Laugh at.

With the bowstring ejected, the blow released by the black shadow tore the heavens and the earth apart, and the far east, from the end of the horizon, the dazzling white light tore apart the dream of heavy flames, and the black shadow that released this blow, with the reaction force of this blow, the whole turned into mist and mixed into the thick smoke and dust around it.

That's his treasure.

The strongest blow at the cost of one's own life.

He knew very well that he was the source of attraction to the dead. So he's been here to clean up the troubles he's brought.

He also knows how to bring Rika Fujimaru back to reality. She fainted because she couldn't bear the mental pressure. On the other hand, as long as the source of this pressure – self – is gone, everything will be fine.

And the reason why he waited until now, and didn't choose to free himself early......

"Goodbye."

Vaguely, you can hear his farewell and promise.

Immediately, the girl's reason was dominated by a blank slate.
