Chapter 80: Bloody Reality
Midday, winter wood, on the street
Carrying two plastic pockets, Kamiya looked left and right to pick fresh vegetables. That's right, the fighter in the middle of the torture, Ueya, was kicked out to buy vegetables again because of his strong combat power. Powerful people like Saber were left at home to guard Rin and Illya, who didn't know what was going on.
(There will be a strong flow of mana in our research, so Servant should stay at home...... For this reason, Kamiya actually did not believe it in his heart.
"There's no need for a reason to be lazy~~~~~ Umiya despises the group of otaku at home in his heart, carrying tomatoes and other vegetables to his home.
"Ryuichi Kamiya, huh." An eerie voice sounded behind itself.
"Yes, you don't have a murderous aura in you." Kamiya continued walking.
"Indeed." Assassin looked at Kamiya with a "worthy of the name" look.
"Master Magician would like to meet you."
"Magician?" Kamiya didn't react for a while.
"That's right, he's waiting at the mansion of Makiri, and his old man doesn't have the will to fight."
"Everyone else is at home, I'm afraid you'll have to come home with me." Kamiya was carrying a plastic bag of tomatoes, with a breezy look.
"It's some...... Something related to Sakura-san. ”
".........................................." Kamiya stopped.
"Magician, I hope you can go to the appointment alone." Assassin added.
The family of Kiri
"Crunch~" pushed open the door that was not locked, and Kamiya walked through the place where he first met the dirty inkstone.
"Sakura's grandfather...... When I first met him, I was really stressed, but now ......" looked at the gate of the house behind him, and Kamiya was full of emotion.
"When Dangdang~~~~" knocked on the third time, the door opened by itself, and it could be seen that the old man knew that Shanggu was coming.
"Sooner than I expected, young man." Dirty Yan sat on the main seat, looking at Shanggu with a smile, and didn't mind that Shanggu gave him a shot.
"................................................" Kamiya looked at him and didn't speak, the young man couldn't figure out what tricks the old man was playing, so let's see how he played first.
"Huh? Don't want to say hello to the old decay? Or do you think that the old man is already a dead man? Looks like I'm really hated~~~~~~" Dirty Yan laughed.
"You got Sakura into the Holy Grail War?" Seeing that the old man was talking about him left and right, Kamiya didn't have time to play with him.
"How could it be ~~~~~~~~~," Dirty Yan smiled and shook his head.
(Huh~~~~~) "Kamiya breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, he was a stepchild, and he had nowhere to reason if he was abused.
"Sakura already has the function of being the Holy Grail, and she is one with the Holy Grail War, so why not get involved~~~~~~ old man said to himself.
"Sakura? Possess the function of the Holy Grail?! You!!! "Zheng!" The sword was unsheathed, and the Assassin looked grim in front of him.
"This is the sad wish of our Machiri, in order to materialize the true immortal soul energy, after the war ten years ago, the old decay buried the Holy Grail in her."
"Buried...... Body...... Ten years ago...... You...... You're a pervert!! Thinking that Sakura, who was still a girl at the time, was abused by this old man, Ueya slashed with a sword.
"Dang!" The Assassin blocks Ueya's angry blow, and the boy's irrational slash is violent, but the Servant's traits complement the Assassin's power, allowing him to confront the boy without falling behind.
"Ten years ago, in the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu, when the Holy Grail War Ritual was completed, destroyed the Holy Grail, the war ended, and the Holy Grail Summoning Ritual failed again, but although it was only for a moment, the Holy Grail was still completed, so it was a pity to ignore its fragments like this."
"Dang!" Another swing of the sword was swung, and the unskilled attack was easily blocked by the Assassin.
"Although the recovered Holy Grail was buried in her, the old man still did not lose heart, and he still put a lot of effort into keeping her human skills." The old man completely ignored the frantic teenager in front of him.
"In order for the flesh to receive the spirit, to become a holy grail, and to be a prop to connect the way to the door at the end of the ceremony, the old decay implanted the marker worm in her body."
"I'm nima, you stinky S_B, I'm @*(&%)@*......%¥" Hearing this old man who is not ashamed to fiddle with his beloved girl like this, Kamiya went crazy.
"It's all about the work done to emulate the Holy Grail of Einzberen."
"Huh?!" Hearing this, Kamiya suddenly paused.
"Illyasfil von Einzberen, that lovely white-haired little girl beside you is the golden chalice made by Einzberen this time."
“!!!!!!!!!” Kamiya was stunned, completely confused.
"This experiment lasted for more than ten years, and Sakura slowly became something close to the Holy Grail, and she had to adjust to the function of a container for storing souls on the one hand, and on the other hand, she could live as a human until she enjoyed the position of her old age, although it was an experiment, but the old decay was indeed a dedication."
"...................................." Kamiya did not continue to attack the old man, but after the Assassin stepped back, he sat on the sofa opposite the dirty inkstone, his whole body trembling, his eyes were red and bloodshot, like a beast about to love people.
"Master Magician, there is an unusual aura on this kid's body, please retreat." Assassin sensed something, and felt a little uncertain.
"Well, can you calm down and listen to the old man's speech? Sure enough, it's a flexible young man, hehehe, the world of magicians is not the same as the world you are in, I hope you can understand this. The old man ignored the Assassin.
"Sakura is not actually a child of Makiri, but she became the daughter of Makiri, and became the basis for the realization of our people's sad wishes, and the Tosaka family also understands very well, because they have the same purpose as the old age, and if they want to get immortality, they can only make such sacrifices."
"The old man did not kill innocents indiscriminately for this reason, but chose to study with Tosaka, who has the same purpose, please know this." The old man packaged himself as a fighter who sacrificed everything around him for the sake of his ideals. ”
"Even the Holy Grail War that is being held here is a ritual to achieve this purpose, and we have joined forces only for this purpose, and even if only the old decay exists now, we will continue to live this ugly life."
But fate is also ironic, and it is surprising that Sakura, who was a backup for "not being able to adapt to the Holy Grail" at the beginning, can grow to such a point. ”
"Not only can you obtain the Servant that has not yet destroyed itself, but also retain the function of the Kiriri Sakura and survive, this is the posture of the Holy Grail, the Einzberen Golden Grail that the old man thought he couldn't do and died of his heart."
The trembling sword of "......................................................" slashed through the stall of the Kiriri family.
"Then that's the end of the inside story of the Holy Grail War that you need to know. The reason I called you here this time is that the old man has something to discuss about that shadow. The old man continued to speak in order.
The "......................................................" sword no longer trembled.
"The old man wants to make a move on that shadow, and he needs your strength for that. But before that, the old man must first tell you what the shadow is. The old man watched Kamiya's reaction.
"Well, that's the inside of the Holy Grail. While the Holy Grail is the Cauldron that fulfills all wishes, our goal is not the Cauldron of the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is nothing more than a means. Einzbellen, Machiri, and Ensaka, the goal of these three is to open a "doorway" to the outside with the completed Holy Grail. Think of the completed Holy Grail as a "place where all wishes are granted" and a gateway to the world over there. “
"Can you understand? The purpose of our magicians is to reach all the roots. However, the old decay has no interest in this. Einzberen was only looking for the completion of the Holy Grail. As a magician, I aim for my roots, probably in today's Endosaka. “
"Hey, forget it. In short, the Holy Grail is the doorway that connects the "wish machine". The shadow is what flows from there to this side. If it had been the original Holy Grail, Illyasfil, there would have been no such thing. The shadow is the inadvertent product of the imitation of the Holy Grail. “
"Oh, although I still have some scruples about being ugly, I can't control it. She, although it is nice to be able to grow into a holy grail, she is not rumored. Self-destruction due to negligence is good, but it cannot involve all human beings. It's really troublesome, although it's a holy grail made by the old man, but if you don't do it, it will kill all the people in the town. The dirty inkstone shook his head and looked very remorseful.
"......................................................" The boy still did not reply.
"Although you and the little girl of the Tosaka family only met her yesterday, no matter how you say it, "it" is also the shadow of Sakura, and the daughter of the Tosaka family, who is always by her side, should also judge the similarity between "it" and Sakura. ”
"Sakura Makiri—that's the shadow."
"You !!!!" The boy's roar was accompanied by a low groan, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly.
