Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sisters
The line of sight in front of him suddenly widened, and at this moment, Rin even forgot that this was underground.
The endless canopy of the sky, and the black sun. The vast space is no longer a cave, but a desolate land. On the far other side, there is a rock shaped like a wall, which is both the beginning and the end of this war. If you climb the cliff, you will be able to see as if you were standing in a huge crater. That's a system that's been around for 200 years. The huge rock that houses the huge magic circle called the Great Holy Grail ignites a black pillar of fire from the inside. and the dark shadow of heart-like fetal movements. The light that shone on the wilderness was a fluctuation of magic that leaked out of "that".
According to the documents of Ensaka, this is the altar called the beginning. In its very center. The circular cloister, the cup of heaven in the heart of the world. It is now pregnant with immeasurable magic, creating an "otherworld" that lives up to its name.
"That's AngraMainyu, who deserves to be called all the evils in this world~~~~~~" Rin mocked as she walked towards the altar.
Although he is a little worried about the Kamitani group behind, his situation is not very optimistic.
The magic overflowing of the Great Holy Grail is beyond the reach of human power. It's a magical vortex that can already be called 'endless'. Even if you gather magicians from all over the world and let them use them as you like, you won't need enough storage. Even if the life span of a human being is exhausted, the magic power will not be exhausted.
"Isn't there anything impossible. With this magic, it is indeed the holy grail that makes it possible to grant all wishes. Rin used taunts to ease the psychological pressure caused by the overwhelming difference in combat power as she walked.
At present, what she is wary of is the dirty inkstone. In her heart, Sakura is not an opponent who "should be paid attention to". Sakura Makiri, who has lost herself, doesn't threaten Rin at all.
“………… It's weird~~~~ Although I walked to the altar, but-" Rin was surprised, and the inkstone of the mason should not allow others to invade the altar. On the way to the altar, there will definitely be an ambush.
But Rin not only didn't touch it, but also walked to the altar.
"I'm so glad, sister. Instead of running away, you came here. “
Rin looked up and saw that Sakura Makiri, with her back to the black sun, was "welcoming" her.
"Uh......" Sakura's change made Rin take a step back in surprise.
AngraMainyu is a Servant with no entity. It is just in the form of human fantasies and human desires, and the "shadow" of the physical body is obtained. Therefore, all its power is in the possession of the shadow. Sakura Makiri, now it is AngraMainyu. Let the curse called "all the evil in this world" flow out to the outside world.,The directional "function" is all because of the girl named Sakura Makiri.。
Looking at Sakura, who was incarnated by boundless magic, Rin raised the holy sword.
"Although the attributes are compatible...... But ......Rin's heart is gradually bottomless."
"What's the matter, sister, why are you timid~~~~~~ don't say you're scared now~~~~~~" An evil smile appeared on Sakura's face.
"It's not ~~~~ Speaking of which, you're the ~~~~~~ parents who are always around you, and you're running there~~~~~ a coward, wouldn't it be miserable if the adults weren't around?" Rin shot back sharply.
"Grandpa is gone. It was too much of an eyesore, so it was eliminated. "The air is frozen. , a large hollow overflowing with warmth and vitality, mixed with a dark murderous aura.
"I see, you're completely free~~~~~ whether it's good or bad, the dirty inkstone has so far been the ruler who binds you~~~~ end the dirty inkstone with your own hands, and you don't have to be afraid in the future." Rin looked at Sakura mockingly.
"No, not yet, sister. It's not enough to just destroy grandpa~~~~ I've become so strong that I can do anything, but I'm still imprisoned. Sakura's fists clenched.
"Mingming...... It's clear that I've become beyond my sister's reach, but my sister in my heart still can't be eliminated! Now, my sister is also constantly harsh on me in my body! ”
"So~~~~~ as long as you're around, I can't be free." The girl's chanting voice was both soft and heavy. This is ironclad evidence that the girl is no longer normal. Her words were filled with fantasies of superiority and fear.
"Oh. So, you're going to lose your temper with everything you see~~~~ But what about Kamiya? He's still fighting to save you~~~~~ can you just take a shot at him without care? “
"Uh......" Sakura's expression froze.
The question Rin asked was the last shackle for the girl. cured her arrogance in front of her sister.
Sakura remembered the boy who had come to the neighborhood, and then, with a steady smile.
"Yes, even he is no exception."
"No...... The only person I want to kill the most is him, sister, I ...... I want to eat him quickly......" Sakura's answer has reached the point where there is no cure.
Rin held the holy sword and visually measured the distance from the "enemy" on his head.
Although I knew it was a stupid girl, I didn't expect it to be so stupid. If you are completely absorbed into it, you will not be human for a long time. Rin's voice was full of murder.
Rin Tosaka, as the manager of this land, identifies his sister as a "monster".
"~~~~Huh~~~~ You're still strong, you can honestly admit it, sister."
"Seeing such a strong force, I'm actually very envious, right? Jealous, right? That's why I knew that I wasn't my opponent, and I came to kill me...... That's right. You're planning to take this child from me again, so that you can only be happy. “
The shadows began to move, one by one, all with their heads held high.
"I'm not going to hand it over. That's my strength. All I can give my sister is regret and despair. ”
The shadows that surged up were of extraordinary height. Like a giant guarding Sakura, he stretched out his hand to the tiny Rin below.
"No one will come to save you this time~~~~ Sister, please drown in the cup of heaven."
The Shadow Giant pressed in, as if to devour Rin.
LyrIyaBedtkemEkemRohtAyemTayemEkem_TayemHekemEkem_LyrIyaGethHekemTayem_AyemNehtDoht_BANISH_TayemHekemEkem_DohtAyemRohtKohtNehtEkemSehtSeht. (Liberate the Light, Banish the Darkness)
Facing the boundless shadow of the curse that surged up, Rin split it in half with a sword.
"Shi ......" Sakura, who is the owner of the shadow, was taken aback.
However, Sakura's opponent, Rin, made it effortlessly up the cliff while destroying the shadows.
With a swing of the holy sword, another shadow was instantly extinguished.
"How could it be ......" Although Sakura expected that the holy relic was very strong, she didn't expect that the holy relic with the changed owner could be so strong.
"That's a lot~~~~~ Rin frowned, and the holy sword swept into the shadows.
"Boom~~~~" The golden shockwave surged out, and the entire large void was cooled by the dazzling golden light.
"Woo ~~~~~~" swept away the shadows of the intruders, and Rin climbed the cliff.
In front of Rin's eyes stood Sakura. The black girl looked at her sister who climbed up in amazement.
"Liar...... How could it be ......" Accompanied by the girl's whisper, countless shadows stood up beside Rin.
"What a great welcome. If someone from the association was present, they would have fainted. As long as there are these magical powers, a department can operate for more than a hundred years. Rin said seemingly nonchalantly.
"So, what should the sister who cut it down! The magic I exert is thousands of times greater than that of my sister. Sister, you are alone, obviously you didn't destroy the magic of my shadow, but why? Sakura asked unwillingly.
"There's no why, it's just a qualitative restraint and a gap~~~~~~" Rin didn't care about Sakura's appearance at all.
"I can't lift the curse~~~~~ but for you who use magic to make a shadow, I can find the power to lift it~~~~ Can't you see it?"
"Liar! Sister, you don't have so much magic. No, the light that has been emitting since the beginning is like ......"
"Well~~~~~ it was indeed borrowed from her, and the holy sword was specially used to suppress darkness and curses~~~~~~" Rin raised a smile on his face.
He ...... Lend you the Holy Sword...... To...... Repression...... I ......" Sakura's whole body trembled, as if she had heard something very incredible.
"Yes, even if there are more shadows, but once the light comes, then all the shadows will be destroyed, that's what it means, no matter how many shadows there are, it's useless~~~~~~" Rin played with the holy sword, not taking Sakura seriously at all.
"Why...... He's going to lend you ...... Why...... You can use it ...... "Sakura's voice, gloomy and terrifying."
"Because...... He already belongs to me. Rin said calmly.
"What......" Sakura was stunned, and she was stunned in an instant.
"He said that he made a contract with me to save you and other things, and you won't believe it now~~~~~~ so I'll tell you like this, simple and clear.
"Why...... Doesn't my sister already have a senior Emiya...... Why! Sakura questioned Rin hysterically.
"All this...... It's all because of you, Sakura. Rin was still calm.
"Because of me?" Sakura seemed to hear the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"Because of the Holy Grail War, I temporarily formed an alliance with Emiya-san, and after that, because I wanted to come here to wake you up, I asked for the right to use the Holy Sword."
"No kidding! Sister! ”
Anger drove Sakura to attack, but the sacred sword ruthlessly wiped them all out.
"Why...... Am I not better than anyone else...... No one can blame me anymore! Sakura felt both anger and fear.
However, Rin's holy sword sword not only slashed the shadow, but the aftermath of the collision of light and darkness was gradually destroying the Great Void itself. In this way, it is impossible for the altar to be the Great Holy Grail to be safe. If you continue to fight like this, it will be Sakura Makiri who will be defeated.
"Hah...... Phew...... "The shadow's attack stopped. Sakura glared resentfully at her calm sister.
"Whatever you do, Sakura. That's all you can get. Your impetuous head, be a little sober. “
"No kidding! It's not fair, sister, all sisters, why! “
Repeating the pointless offensive and defensive battles again. Sakura, who knew it was pointless and understood that it was self-harm, kept screaming.
The resentment that has accumulated for a long time has turned into a bitter hatred for the only flesh and blood relative.
"That's right! I envy my sister so much! Being able to stay at the Tosaka family, always shining brightly, and I don't know what hard work is to grow up in Tosaka, I hate it so much! So, I want to win. Once, just once! I want to be complimented by my sister: It's amazing. But why, can't even such a trifle! “
The shadow attacks again, and this attack has become the only way for Kirisaki to vent her resentment at this moment.
"Why? Only I'm different. Even though I am also sisters and born in the same family, I have nothing! Thrown into that dark bug heap, every day as a plaything! There has never been a life like a human being, gentle words! “
Another attack, but still pointless.
"Every day feels like I'm going to die. I look in the mirror every day and want to die. But I'm afraid of death, I don't want to disappear alone!
Because, I've heard that I also have a sister.
Because I'm a child from Tosaka, my sister will definitely come to save me, and I've always believed so! “
"But why didn't my sister come? I didn't know I existed, and I was always smiling beautifully. I didn't notice the misery at all, and I lived happily at home in Tosaka......"
"Why? Obviously, they are also sisters, and they are all people, why is there only one sister, who can laugh so happily! “
Hysterical screams, but they call out the misery of the world, which is irrefutable. That hatred is not for Rin, who is a sister. It's an unspeakable plea for the world and for yourself.
"Isn't it human...... Of course, I was not treated as a human being a long time ago. Her eyes and hair color have changed to the same as her sister's, and even all her cells have been transformed into a magician in Marchi! “
"Eleven, eleven years, sister! Marchi's teachings are not exercise. Those people don't expect my mind to be good or bad at all. It is carved directly on the body, and is used as a tool that can only perform magic tricks. The more pain is given, the better it can become. “
"Even what I eat is full of poison, and eating is synonymous with terror and pain. If you are put into the worm barn, you have to get grandpa's permission to even take a breath! “
Sakura began to cry, and the shadow she released from the crying was cut off without saying a word.
"Haha, it's crazy. But it hurt so much, and the more I begged to stop, the happier those people continued to abuse my body. Therefore, my sister and everyone's brains are not good. Nothing can be done. All I could do was say my pain like this. “
The sadistic soul, the body that cannot be saved.
"But is it all my fault? I'm going to be like this, it's all because of my grandfather, because of my father who sold me to the Maki family, because my sister didn't come to save me! Sakura was completely insane, but what forced her to go crazy was even crazier.
"I didn't become a monster because I liked it! Everyone, it's because everyone is driving me to a dead end, I can only become like this! “
"Hmph~~~~~~ then why did you say it?"
Such a pitiful background, but Rin has no sympathy at all.
"Maybe~~~~ But, even if you cry and scream, you can't change anything, and if you become a monster, isn't it good? Because, you're not in any pain at all. “
Realistic and cold answer. Angry screams, excessive actions, and behaviors in search of warmth...... It's all because of their own weakness. The high-minded sister told the truth without concealment.
"Sister...... You say that......" The shadow boiled. A girl who was suppressed by her sister turned the curse into a reality with despair.
"Oh. So, I have a sentence first. I've never felt any pain. I can handle almost everything, no matter what kind of thing, I can handle it well. Therefore, I have never been driven to the death like you, nor have I had the slightest interest in the troubles of those who have been driven to death. “
"That's how my personality is. The suffering of others, completely incomprehensible. So, to be honest, I don't know what kind of hardships Sakura tasted and what kind of cruel life she lived. Sorry, I don't want to know either. A concise and clear answer, she was not lying, she was only telling the truth to her sister who was complaining.
"But, Sakura. Even if I'm a nervous person. I never thought about myself as a blessed person. Rin looked directly at Sakura.
"What?"
Incomprehensible. What did she say just now?
"I didn't think about it once? Are you a blessed person? ”
"What......" disgust made Sakura's face red. Only now did he say such a quibble...... It's just a joke! It's noisy!
"Only now do you say—aren't you unique?"
Sakura went berserk. Never once did he look back at himself. He also brazenly shows his brilliant talent and happiness...... It's really noisy!
"Unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly, "I don't like or hate ...... me, I have things I can't get no matter how much I hope for, and I still insist that only I am clean and beautiful!" Absolutely unforgivable、Sister kind of woman!
"That's enough! I don't want to hear it, I don't want to listen to your quibbles, I'm already to my sister! The girl roared in despair.
He wanted to wait for Kamiya, but the structure of the cave didn't allow Rin to delay any longer.
"Originally, this is the problem of my own sisters, it seems that the plan to hand it over to others is wrong~~~~~
Taking advantage of Sakura's madness, Rin ran decisively, shielding herself with the holy sword, quickly shortening the distance between her and Sakura, and at the same time, Rin's hand touched the short sword behind her back, because she had no experience with a long sword.
Sakura didn't have time to react, and although she had great strength, she was extremely lacking in combat experience
"I'm going to be killed...... but Sakura doesn't feel scared at all. I'm used to being hurt by others. If it was with her sister's hand, she would take it for granted. However, I hate the pain, and because it's too scary to die by myself, I close my eyes and plan to borrow Rin's hand to die. If she just disappeared, she should be able to relax a little, so she was actually relieved.
In the face of death, she will feel at ease, this is Sakura's weakness.
A moment later, Sakura was not dead, but she didn't even feel pain. Instead, there is a very warm touch.
The warm touch is human blood. Rin's abdomen was sliced open and bleeding profusely. And the graceful body that was about to fall.
"Sister...... Sister...... Why? The girl asked.
Obviously, she was indeed the one who would be killed, but until the end, she didn't stab the short sword.
"Ah...... The guy's words...... I don't know if I'm really going to do it......" muffled voice. That's,The girl has always longed.、Although it's a sarcasm.、Ruthless.,But it's warm and soft.,Named Rin's sister voice.。
"Ah~~~~~ I'm such a fool~~~~" On the way to Sakura, Rin felt that he couldn't kill Sakura, which was a natural feeling between blood relatives.
"Well, I can't help it......" Rin didn't realize this until the last minute.
"I, I can't ignore people who see people who make a mess of everything. Because I like that everything is in order, and I can't stand seeing people who work hard not getting paid for their efforts. “
"And, most importantly, ......"
"I love Sakura. Not only do I want to keep looking at you, but I want her to always have a smile on her face. I've always believed that the harder I work, the happier you will be. So...... I don't have the slightest thought of painful leisure. Rin cherished Sakura.
For the first time in my life, a sisterly hug.
"Sister...... Sister......" Sakura murmured, she was completely confused about the current reality.
Rin's body temperature faded. But she never complained at all. Rin Tosaka, what she regrets is not her own death, but her inability to save her sister who was held in her arms.
"I'm sorry, forgive me for being a wayward sister...... And, thank you. I'm so glad you've been tying that ribbon. Like red flowers scattered in the wind, Rin collapsed on the altar.
"Ah......h Just for a moment. With the warmth of a mirage, the person who was the elder sister disappeared.
"But、Sakura。 Even if I'm a nervous person. I never thought about myself once, I was blessed with a blessed person. How much loneliness is included in that sentence. That's definitely not hypocrisy. The sister she longed for and always believed in also had a loneliness that no one could understand.
Always full of self-confidence, with all your desires, as an ideal existence. Such a sister, like herself, is also a human being bound by many things.
Well, it's not that her world hates weakness. Those who are so timid that they can't lift their faces are self-inflicted...... Such a self, although it is useless, is still loved by someone.
"Why...... I'm going to break it......" Sakura felt as if the whole world was full of malice.
"What I once longed for so much is so close at hand...... She hugged me so tenderly and missed me so much...... But I ...... with my own hands. Kill her......"
"Ahh!!!h Sakura's whole body was stained with her sister's blood, and she held her head in pain, howling with remorse.
