Chapter Seventy-Six: The Undercurrent

The voice is quite familiar.

It was the sound of countless insects dragging their bodies and countless insects crawling on the walls.

The place is quite familiar, dark and damp chambers. A spiritual temple built underground. When he was brought to the house, the first room he was given was this black green.

In the center of the darkness, there is a human form, and although it is confused whether it can be called a human at all, it is human in appearance. The figure called her to him and ordered that it wasn't Shinji Makiri, but her to fight.

That's something that has been realized. At least until now, that's how it was accepted.

Now, however, there is no determination. She...... From the moment she decided that Emiya Shirou was the Master, she lacked the will to fight. Let her go to Emiya's house for surveillance. However, Emiya Shirou has neither the suitability to be a Master nor the knowledge of the Holy Grail War. That's right away. Therefore, it is equivalent to not having to send a watcher in the first place.

In the name of surveillance, she justified and continued to be the younger sister of Emiya Shirou. There is no need to fight him, like this. Even if one day his true identity will be revealed, there is still an optimistic view that the day of fighting each other will never come.

But...... Not only did he fight, but he was defeated without any suspense, yes, in front of him who was powerful and dazzling, he never expected to win, and there was no need to win. Because the two sides have long been attracted to each other and admired each other...... But now it was a sword-to-sword situation, even though he didn't know it was himself...... Why, this is the result?

"Grandpa, must you kill all the masters?" She already knew the old man's answer. Because she knew, she didn't ask that. But...... The current situation is that his strength is not good, and he can't do it, so he ...... Be sure to make sure again.

"How's that...... If you're going to ask that anyway, it's okay to make one or two people into a pastime toy. Just take the Servant away. The rest of the masters, see if you want to make toys and dolls, all as you like. “

"──────── huh?" The old man's answer was slightly different from her expectations.

"Don't you know? I said - there's no need to kill all the Masters. As long as you dispose of those who are alive and pose a danger, it is enough. If you can't get in the way, you can just let it go. Because it's a lovely grandson, please. Although it is the sad wish of our people, it can be somewhat accommodating. “

Such words unraveled her only remaining vigilance, and the old man occasionally had inexplicable gentleness.

(However, if a certain valley is here, it will immediately recognize this low-end man-trick - carrot and stick, also commonly known as a slap to a sweet date, the scientific name - the Stockholm effect.) After all, that young man, but he came from country C, which has a broad and profound culture, even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen a pig run, and he is the opponent of the same level as the old man. )

But this is more than enough for a girl who has been closed for a long time, because when she implements the magic "education" of the Kiri, she is completely inhuman, and she is as cruel as insects and beasts. When the old man said this, he made the girl feel kind like a kind grandfather.

So she thinks she can't be deceived. Whether it was just a whim, or a calculated gentleness, she could not have known by herself, and it would have been, nodding her head here would have turned into a situation of fighting him.

Regardless of life and death, as long as the conditions are established, the fact that there is no way to avoid fighting cannot be changed.

"Why, are you still dissatisfied? Really, troublesome girl. Because you're so cowardly, you can't get anything you can get your hands on. Listen, isn't this a good opportunity? If you want something, you can get it with strength. Na~~Sakura~~~ Do you want to stay in the position of the Watcher all the time? If you have something you want, just take it. Whether it's power or power, don't you have it. “

"............................................................" she did not answer.

There was nothing you wanted. In the past, Senior Emiya was just a longing, and he never thought that he would be accepted. He is filthy and utterly inappropriate for him. Therefore, the person who can sit next to him must be more in line with his ...... Sister. Until that time comes, it would be nice to be able to stay with him as he is now. Seeking further happiness will only lead to ruin...... That will not only be for himself, but also for himself. And now that someone more suitable for herself has appeared, she finally doesn't have to compete with her sister who can never win, and she is very relieved in her heart.

"Grandpa...... I...... Can't fight anymore. Although she had the consciousness of being re-educated, she still said in a trembling voice. What kind of attitude awaits her if she resists here, she knows quite well. The horror of her hands and feet being broken and thrown into a swarm of bugs was something she could never get used to. The limit to rationality so far is two hours.

How many times will it be today...... No, before the Holy Grail War is over, the thought of having to endure that kind of thing to the end will make you crazy.

The old man opposite the "......................................................" did not happen, but her own hands and feet shook first.

The horror of re-education made her want to scream, but it was not pain that she feared. All she feared was ...... I can't bear the pain and become obedient to the old man's will.

"Hmm. Then there is no way. There is no reason to use unreasonable coercion to lose an important heir. This time, I watched the battle from the sidelines. “

“?!“ She held her breath in surprise.

Although he didn't know if the old man was serious, he accepted her defense. The trembling of the whole body stopped, and the warm sense of security spread to the entire chest. Yes, grandpa was also defeated by him, and he ~~~~~ himself in only two rounds, and he is still so reliable~~~~~ after the Holy Grail War, he can go to college with him, and then leave here and go to country C, so that no one knows his background anymore...... At this moment, Sakura, whose heart was filled with pride and complacency, became defenseless.

"However, this is a bit dissatisfying. Among the selected candidates this time, the little girl of the Ensaka family is the best among them. If even luck is on her side, maybe there will be a ...... if it happens," let the old man make a voice of psychological regret and sneak into Sakura's heart.

“…… Sister...... ......"Just then, the demon entered.

She has a hunch, "If it's my sister, I'll definitely win", and she is that kind of person. I was always able to get everything I wanted, and then walked forward as a matter of course.

Don't look back at yourself standing still, and take everything you want.

(So...... She's going to win...... Even my him...... Take it away together...... "Inside, it turned into ice and became cold

I'm used to it.

I'm used to it.

I'm used to it.

…… I've been used to this kind of thing for a long time.

My sister can get everything she wants.

Whether it's the pain I've endured, the constant hatred, the glorious future......

Then, even the only person I could trust in would fade away from my presence......

(This is the only ...... No...... The girl's hand clenched tightly.
