Chapter XXIII, Calculations

When I opened my eyes, it was already morning, and I was in the room I was used to

"Ahβ€”β€”β€”β€” my room."

As soon as I make a sound, the feeling becomes very bad

"Woo, mouth, disgustingβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

A strong smell of blood

There was a lot of blood in the mouth, but sticky air flowed in just by breathing?

β€œβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€

I don't know why this is happening yet

I just want to throw up so much

Sakura and Fuji-san are both going straight to school today

There was no breakfast prepared at home, and there was no noisy Sister Teng making noise

The quiet mansion is just like the usual Sunday sceneβ€”β€”β€”β€”

"Did you finally wake up? Idiot. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€” is weird

"W-β€”β€”β€”β€”?!"

Sitting in the corner of the room were ancient knights

The white sunlight shone in, dissolving her with the room without any pollution

The awe-inspiring and upright posture does not feel a trace of wavering

She just sat like this, and the air in the room tensed

But you don't feel cold at all

Because the posture is clear enough to make you forget the cold winter air

"How. The injuries on the body are healed, but the wounds in the brain are still there. ”

Come to think of it

yes, I'm immersed in some leisurely morning air

I was going to save the Red Saber and β€”β€”β€”β€” attacked by Berserkerβ€”β€”β€”β€”

"Wooβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

The vomiting sensation returned

The thought of losing most of my body sends chills all over my body

The contents of my stomach were stirring

It made me feel disgusting

It was disgusting, but it was also proof of being alive

Well, that's weird

Shouldn't I have died right away?

"It's weird. How am I still alive. ”

"Looks like you know what stupid thing you did yesterday. I'm here waiting for you to wake up. ”

Hey, that is

"Red Saber was β€”β€”β€”β€” all the time when I was asleep"

And so on and so forth! Isn't that bad!

Don't look at her like this, behind that armor is a real girl!

"Well, since you're awake too, it's almost time to get down to business."

"Hey, it's β€”β€”β€”β€” business"

boom

Before she could react, she grabbed the collar and pulled her body over

Headbutt against a hard helmet

"Hurt、———— wait, wait, too, too close Red Saber β€”β€”β€”β€”!"

I smell a strange aroma in my nose

Her face was almost against her helmet, and even her breath could be felt

Overall, it's terrible

It's just getting close, and I'm nervous

"What the hell were you thinking at the time, you idiot!!"

The pounding heart was calmed down by this sound

The ruby eyes can be seen through the openings in the helmet's eyes

Those eyes were angry at this point

"Who do you think you are! It's just a human, are you trying to kill yourself by rushing into the battlefield between the Servants!! ”

That's right

She's angry because of that

When I realized this, I suddenly felt a little happy

Because Red Saber is still here and angry with me, doesn't that mean that my action was successful?

"Listen up. Unlike humans, Servant is an undead spirit long dead. Even if we die again, we will still be back in Valhalla after the Holy Grail War. But β€”β€”β€”β€”"

The iron-clad fingers stabbed me twice in the chest

It hurts like the wrath of his master

"You're different! You're still alive, and unlike those of us who have already lived our lives, your life is just beginning. The lives of the Servant and the Master are not equivalent. β€”β€”β€”β€”You've already heard Rin say these things, right?! ”

Tosaka did say it

Heroic spirits are sublimated after the death of heroes of the past

The Servant, on the other hand, is a doppelganger stripped from the Immortal's body

Their death is just a return to where they should be, and my death is a real death

"β€”β€”β€”β€”But what did you do? Twice stormed the battlefield of the Servant, risking his life just to save the Servant? I can understand if it's to save humanity, but it's a different matter if it's a Servant. No, neither is the Servant. But the object turned out to be me? To me, who will not die, you rush in and send me to death? Do you have a brain? ”

Well, even if I was to be said that, I would feel uncomfortable

Because Red Saber's mind was too unbelievably stiff in the room, it finally began to work

"What are you talking about, there was no other choice then! Ah no, although it was stupid from the results, I was going to do better. So, I didn't do anything wrong. ”

Someone lifted the placket, and I protested to Red Saber that I wasn't stupid

"And Red Saber won't die or anything, not necessarily! Berserker's final blow was different, and while I don't know why, I figured it would have been you who had died if I had taken it hard. ”

"Didn't do it, did it, did it wrong?!"

"No, one, ?!!"

"You're ?!!!"

Ah, dead

When I realized that I had said something stupid, I was in no hurry.

It's called taking a torch and lighting a barrel of explosives!

Poof

"What、————"

Red Saber's hand ran through my body

Completely unable to resist

I didn't think anything in my head, I just thought it was ridiculous

Counting this time, it must be the second time

He was killed twice by the same person

The cold armor is like a killing machine

The body is so hot

The nerves are being destroyed and the skin is burning

It is impossible to live, the depth of the arm goes straight to the internal organs

It is impossible not to hurt, but β€”β€”β€”β€”

"β€”β€”β€”β€” weird?"

It doesn't hurt at all

If you look closely, there is no blood in the chest

Red Saber's hand sank into my body

Then a sword-like object was pulled out of it

"Cut. You can do whatever you like. But I won't save you next time. ”

As she spoke, she let go of her grip and pulled the object back into herself

"Ha, haβ€”β€”β€”β€” that's β€”β€”β€”β€”"

There is a sense of emptiness in the body

It's as if something has been pulled out

"Huh? What does it matter. It's mine, so I'll lend it to you for the time being. Now that your wounds have been healed, it is also time for things to be returned to their original owners, right? ”

That's right

In this way, it seems that the treatment for me is also Red Saber

"That's right. Sorry to bother you. Thank you. ”

I hung my head with gratitude and apologies

"If you know, think a little bit before you do it next time. Let's go to the living room, Rin is waiting in the living room to train you. After that, he went to the dojo for training, where Blue Saber waited. ”

"Huh?"

β˜†

[Huh? Just let him go? 】

"How else?"

Ori said angrily

It seemed that she cared about Emiya Shirou and gave him a lecture

Actually, it's just because she's idle

Well, it's true that he was angry with the stupid things he did

Weaving is red A

Even if she didn't want to, she couldn't help but start getting angry with Emiya Shirou

Childish behavior, stupid thoughts, just like idiots

For Ori, Emiya Shirou is like black history

The most unacceptable thing for weaving is actually another reason

Humans will never win against the Heroic Spirits

Heroic spirits, at least in terms of force, are a higher level of existence than humans

And it was this kind of self that was actually saved by a human being, who thought that he would die. This is the most unacceptable thing about weaving

Don't forget, she's an idiot who just wants to play melee combat

'That's what I saidβ€”β€”β€”β€”

Before I knew it, I was in the courtyard

There are still traces of the devastation from last night's battle with Saber

But after all, it's such a large open space, enough to weave

What are you doing here? 】

"Test β€”β€”β€”β€” a little"

Traceβ€”β€”β€”β€”

on

Consciousness sank inside

Retrieval weapons

The target is Berserker's stone sword

The quantity is 1

Projection begins

With his left hand open, he gripped the hilt of the fictional sword that had not yet appeared

Unusually heavy

This is not a sword that can be used by weaving with only D

Howeverβ€”β€”β€”β€” her projection can replicate even that strange power

That's fine

Holding a weapon that didn't match his size at will, he waved it casually and tried his touch

Ori nodded

"Remember what he just said? Berserker's final blow would have been dead if he hadn't pushed it awayβ€”β€”β€”β€” is it true? ”

[I don't know.] Probably. 】

"Huh? You can't be unaware, right? You're the GM of the king, and I was cursed three times to get you. Please, can you use it a little bit? ”

[Hawkers, it stands to reason that your immortality is an attribute imposed by violating the legal system of this world. There shouldn't be anything in this world that can kill you. It has nothing to do with what attributes you have, your "immortality" is a law far beyond this world, and it is a principle set by the true God. If there's anything that can kill you, it's the entire multiverse collapsing. 】

[That's what I said.] 】

The crimson sword turned sharply

[There are actually many kinds of immortality. There is a big difference between the highest level of immortality and the lowest level of immortality. Well, it's like the same human beings have the difference between kings and beggars. The kind I just talked about is the highest level of immortality. The immortality that stands above countless worlds, owned by the true gods, is not so much immortality as it is one of the laws that make up the multiverse itself. The lowest level of immortality, similar to skeleton soldiers, will not die if all bones are broken, and can be resurrected as long as someone helps. But I'm afraid of mental attacks. 】

Let's be honest

Do not understand

Roughly speaking, there are many kinds of immortality, some strong and some weak

The strong ones must be destroyed in the universe to kill, and the weak ones only need to be able to attack mentally

Then this brings us to the most critical question

"What kind of immortality is I?"

[I don't know.] I only know that you are endowed with immortality, and I don't know what level you are. You can give it a try. You're ready to experiment anyway, right? 】

Tut......

Fortunately, I do have this plan. That's why Berserker's stone sword is projected

Although he thought it was unlikely, Shirou's words still made Ori a little concerned

Take off your helmet and pull up the long silver braid

The moment it was thrown up, he swung his axe and sword to cut it

Suddenly, the silver hair spread out like a waterfall

Your own recovery is not only about physical wounds, nails, and hair, but also if you break them

It's annoying not to be able to cut off this overgrown hair, but it's a good time to come in handyβ€”β€”β€”β€”

At least you don't have to cut your finger in pain

I was glad in my head

Hold up the stone sword

Only a short time is available

If it is exceeded, the hair will return to its original position

Aim at the half-cut braid that flies in the air

Evenly and evenly divided into nine parts

Sniper target confirmation

β€œNineβ€”β€”β€”β€”Lives!”

A high-speed nine-hit combo that was released in an instant

He slaughtered his hair in the air

NineLives

Or shoot a hundred

In this world, legend has it that Hercules himself developed his craft

In the face of monsters that will be resurrected no matter how many times you kill, the combat skill of [no matter how many times you are resurrected, you will die] that you have specially cultivated

In other words, it is the suppression of immortality

So, is this kind of attack useful for the self who claims to be [immortal].

Ori stared at the silver hair that was only half cut off

4 seconds

10 seconds

1 minute

Minutes and seconds passed

The hair shows no signs of recovery

If you continue to recover at the previous rate, it has now taken more than 10 times to recover

But there is still no recovery

The hair retains its severed form and is not restored at all

[Worst-case scenario.] The "right to immortality" in this world can restrain your "immortality"]

"Ahh In this case, Berserker must not be sparedβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

Silently pulled up his hair, put on his helmet, and left the yard

β˜†

There are many spare rooms in the Emiya mansion

If it is allocated according to one room per person, not counting the dojo and warehouse, the Emiya Mansion can probably accommodate about seventeen or eight people

Such a large mansion is usually used only by Emiya Shirou alone

Fujimura Yamato and the school sister Kirizakura, who are the guardians, will also come, but they will only come in the morning or afternoon

The latter came to help cook, and the former naturally came to eat

Neither of them will come on Sundays

Every now and then, there is a feeling of coldness

Well, but this weekend won't be deserted. On the contrary, there is some noise as the homeowner is being reprimanded

Ori walked to the door of a Japanese room and paused to open the paper door

"How's it going? Elias. ”

"Do you think I'm going to be better off with these things?"

The girl sitting in the middle of the room, Ilyasfil, said indifferently with hatred

There was no intention of going in, and Ori just leaned against the door

"Two hundred and thirteen weapons, forty chains, thirteen shields, five collars, nine enchantments, and three evil spirits. So many means of protection were used against a lady. ”

As Ilya put it, it was not so much a room for Ilya as a cell for her to be held

Chains are used to bind their limbs

The equipment surrounded her

The shield defends against possible attacks

The collar is confined to its limbs and neck

As for the enchantment, the evil spirits and all that were added by Rin

Don't think about it, the slightest bit of movement will pierce her here

"No wonder you have this reaction, after all, as soon as my Berserker comes out, you miscellaneous fish Servant will be killed immediately."

So you don't understand why you're locked up like this?

Ori, who was leaning against the door, rolled her eyes

"Don't say that. At least you're alive, aren't you? Replace another Master and you'll die yesterday. ”

"Hmph. That's because there's still value in using it, right? It should be clear to the same Imperial Sanke Rin that I am the Holy Grail this time, and if I die, you will not get the Holy Grail. ”

Even if he was targeted at Ilya by so many treasures, he was still calm

"Huh?"

Ori looked at her with a strange look in her eyes

"How, how."

I don't know why, Ilya has some strange feelings

It feels like it is

"What if I gouged out your heart?"

"Huh、————"

That's right, it's no problem to be a little chalice yourself

But the so-called "Little Holy Grail" actually refers only to one's own heart

The flesh that encased the Little Grail and was named Ilyasfil was a completely replaceable thing

if

Dig out your own heartβ€”β€”β€”β€”

"Look. You are important, but not irreplaceable. ”

Servant walked in

At that moment, it was as if the heart was being caught

"The reason I'm risking Berserker to keep you alive is just because I don't like to kill."

"So."

"Please don't force me to make that decision."

At that moment, I really felt like I was in hell

This Servant is serious

She's real, and she's only kept herself because she didn't want to kill

She didn't have anything she fancied, and she didn't have enough chips to threaten her

How can I escape from this?

Just as Ilya gritted her teeth and thought, Ori suddenly waved her hand and scattered all the defenses

The dense array of treasures is all gone

β€œβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€

"Well, don't be too surprised. These are just things that were set up to keep me away from you. Now that I'm here, there's no need for these to exist, are they? Anyway, as long as I have a thoughtβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

A meaningful glance at the collar around Elijah's neck, weaving it to remind her not to act rashly

Honestly, those were really just used to scare her when she wasn't there

If Ilya had really let Berserker out to protect herself, it would have been useless to have ten times as many things in the house

Unless you detonate the collar yourself

But let's be honest

On the premise of not wanting to kill her, Ilya is a very troublesome problem

Let her go, impossible

It is impossible for her to let Berserker go

Even weaving at this time has the feeling that a mouse pulling a turtle can't start

Sure enough, it's still not suitable to be a bad guy

But there is a gap in everything

Since you can't be an enemy, how about trying to win it over?

Hold Elija's face with both hands, making sure she doesn't look left and right

"Hey, what are you doingβ€”β€”β€”β€”

At the same time, the helmet automatically disassembles and deforms when it clicks the ground

The ruby eyes stared at Ilya's eyes

"I'm sorry, it's a bit mean, but I can't help it. I can't keep Berserker alive. ”

P.s: That's it! 5000 words.

Well, if anything, there's really nothing to talk about in this chapter. Let's talk about something interesting

Yu wrote the book, in fact, according to the standard of "whether it is interesting or not". For example, everyone writes about stallions, and they all write that the protagonist goes to various worlds to collect girls, and the rest writes that the protagonist is pushed by various men; Everyone writes that the protagonist is handsome and chic, and the rest writes that the protagonist is an old man.

To put it simply, Yu is an individual twist. What kind of Yu you like to see, you don't write about it.

But except for a few pits that are male protagonists, the rest of the books are basically transformations. Why? Yu once saw such a theory that "people who like to transform themselves also have a tendency to transform". Yu pondered for a moment and thought about it carefully. Sorry, Yu doesn't have this inclination. If I had to say it, Yu just didn't like men. Okay nonsense, damn if you like men, that's a.

In fact, the characters Yu plays in the game are basically female characters. For the hair? Nonsense, how perverted are girls to like to stare at a man's ass?

At this time, some classmates will be strange, saying that since they don't like men, wouldn't it be better to write female characters from the beginning?

Yu's answer was

The female characters are not very interesting.

So, let's say you have two books in front of you, and the cover of the book says what the book is about. The first book is called "A Man's Life" and the second is called "A Woman's Life". It's meagre, right? It's a very common subject, right? It's boring when you see the title, right? This is the average author.

What would an author like Yu do? Yu will do this, and blend the title a little

β†’ "Help Her Life"

How is it? How is it? Don't you want to see it?

Do you think this book will be interesting?

Right! Right! If you think about it differently, the subject matter becomes interesting all of a sudden, right?

Yu is so genius that even he feels scared.
