Chapter 4, Rebellion
"Say it beforehand, I won't follow your orders. I'm not interested in the Holy Grail War or anything, and I'm not going to be involved in this messy fight. I'll leave here in a moment, and you can find a place to hide or leave the city until the Holy Grail War is over. ”
[Hey! What are you talking about! The crimson sword said urgently
'Shut up, I have my own considerations, it's my business to do whatever I want to do anyway, right?' In that case, why should I fight this group fight with those ancient heroes whose force is worth scaring people to death? Anyway, my wish is just to survive and find a place in this world to live peacefully, what reason do I have to fight with them? For the sake of the girl? What are you kidding, how does she care about me? ’
The girl said as a matter of course
The crimson sword was silent
As far as a normal person is concerned, this choice is taken for granted. A dead house who has gained a little ability and wants to beat those ancient heroes? I just laughed, they've killed more people than you've ever jerked off? Have the Dead House ever killed a chicken?
Being able to clearly understand the scope of her own abilities is what makes the girl think she is better than others
Crossing into this kind of unlucky plot, it's strange not to run
Like dropping a bomb in the calm waters of a lake, Rin Tosaka's mind was thrown into confusion by the girl's sudden and impactful speech
"That's ...... What do you mean. You're my Servant, right? ”
Rin's voice was completely cold
Before the war began, she had considered what kind of person her Servant would be, unruly, high-spirited, sassy and heroic, or uninhibited, but she never imagined that it would be like this. Servant refused to fight
This is completely unprecedented
“Servant? Yours? Well, it looks like it, but it has nothing to do with me. It's not that I have grievances against you, it's just that I am me, I'm free, and I won't listen to anyone's orders. ”
Servant, which means servant. Master means master. This set is the master-slave relationship stipulated by the Holy Grail, if it is that group of ancient heroes, it naturally doesn't matter, but as a modern person, the idea of equality for all people is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and whoever is told that there is suddenly an extra master on his head, eighty percent of those who have a bad temper have already been slapped in the face
Hey, are you really going to do this? You should know that in this case, Rin Tosaka will probably die. It's all because you took the place of Archer, who was supposed to be summoned, leaving her without a Servant. If she does die, that's your responsibility, you drop, understand? 】
The words of the crimson long sword made the girl stunned, indeed, if he really walked away like this, although he told Rin Tosaka to leave the city and find a place to hide, but in case...... What if she is found? What if she was killed by another Servant?
To be honest, the girl didn't want to participate in this time-traveling group fight
Whether Rin Tosaka is dead or alive has nothing to do with her
However, she especially hated deaths caused by [her own reasons].
Normally, Rin Tosaka died when she died, and she didn't know her well anyway, but if it was because she refused to participate in the battle, Rin Tosaka's death was ...... This is unacceptable to the girl in any case
However, I have to fight with the heroes...... Hey, isn't this a clear death?
Scratching at her silver hair in annoyance, the girl's eyes suddenly noticed Rin's spell and suddenly had an idea
Maiden Road:
"Well, although I won't listen to your orders, I will always be summoned by you, and you will always be the Master. As a Master, even if you don't want to, other Masters will come to you. Therefore, I am here to make an agreement with you. ”
"About ...... Decide......? ”
Rin forced her patience, repeating in a voice that almost came out of her teeth, even though she was already furious
The girl didn't notice Rin's abnormality, and even if she noticed Eighty, she wouldn't have any special reaction, and said to herself:
"Three spells, three chances to summon me. When you encounter a life-threatening danger that you can't avoid without summoning me, you can summon me to fight for you with the Command Charm. And these three chances to save my life should be my compensation for repaying you for calling me. ”
The girl nodded, indicating that she was very satisfied and fair. Serving her life three times is almost the limit, although she may also die, but three times is always lower than the mortality rate of direct head-on conflict, if you really die
, it can only mean that his life is not good. Although he still has no confidence in winning any of the heroes in Fate, it's okay to delay a little time and let Rin escape first, and then escape decisively by himself, right?
In the girl's opinion, this is already a very big sacrifice, she could have completely ignored Rin's life and death, but now she has fallen into three crises, which can be described as benevolent
but
Some people don't think so
"Don't ......"
Rin said with her head down, her dark hair obscuring her expression, her fists clenched tightly
"Huh? What did you say? That's a great deal, right? ”
"No kidding!"
He raised his head suddenly, and his emerald green pupils were full of anger
☆
"That's a great deal, isn't it?"
The Servant in front of him was talking as if he had sold the bento he had made to himself
But what a joke!
"How much energy and time do you think I've spent on this war?! You were summoned by me, right? That's my stuff, and you should listen to me! Freely? It's okay to say anything stupid and let me give you freedom within the scope of the Master, but you have to listen to me! ”
“────Anfang! (Settings)"
You're welcome, I'm not obligated to quarrel with this slacking Servant!
I showed that there were three mantras engraved on my right hand, which were the three absolute commands that could be exercised to restrain the servants
"Now let your disobedient fellow understand the situation! Vertrag! EinneuerNagelEinneuesGesetzEinneuesVerbrechen───! (The proclamation spell follows the law of the Holy Grail, and adds this person to my servant to the law of the precept)"
“────!”
The sound stopped
"What? Why not go on? ”
Saber asked faintly
And then go on or something, that's impossible. If anything, the cold blade around the neck is the best answer
"Can you try it, what are you talking about? Or should I cut your trachea faster? ”
"You...... What do you mean, Saber. ”
I asked in a voice trembling with rage
There was never a case in my father's notes either
In the past few wars, there have indeed been records of Servants killing the Master, but that is also a contradiction accumulated in the course of the war, and there has never been a situation where the newly summoned Servant threatens the Master like now
"First of all, in order to prevent you from wasting your life-saving opportunity, I will first let you understand the essence of the spell."
The girl said lightly:
"A spell is something that forces a servant to act. It's not just about stopping the action, it's about making the action stronger. For example, I can't teleport from here to a distant place. But if the spell gives the order to "go".
Words, then with my magic and yours it is possible to reach. The power of coercion is just that. A great magic crystal that the spell followers themselves can't control, and can break through even the limits of the physical body. ”
"I've known that kind of thing for a long time, so I don't need you to repeat it!"
Oops, so angry that I forgot to put a sword around my neck
"Humph......"
The other party just snorted coldly, but did not make any next move, and then said:
"It's true that you magicians, while you know that the Spell has a coercive effect on the Servant, you don't know that it has a scope."
"Role...... Range......? ”
"Enchantments are less effective when used on ambiguous commands. Such extensive, long-lasting commands as to protect me and win this battle will diminish the effect. If the coercion lasts for a long time, there will also be rebellious servants to alleviate the suffering. ”
"On the contrary, the single order to desperately unleash the next blow and not to break the glass is absolute, and it is difficult for even a strong servant to disobey. So. At this point, you should know what I'm trying to say, right? ”
"I see. The main thing is, there is no point in a broad and long-term order, right? If the effect and specification are weak, the servant will be able to act against the command. If you want to use a command with weak effect, it is better to use an absolute single command. ”
While cooperating with the conversation with her, I tried to think about her purpose
In the end, the current situation is completely unreasonable, and there must be something wrong. Was it a mistake in the summoning?
"That's right. Originally, the spell was meant to achieve miracles beyond one's own abilities. The foolishness of using that command for invalidity is unforgivable. That's the kind of order you just wanted to give the order, right? You want me to [obey] you absolutely, right? But even if you use a mantra and absolutely obey all words and deeds, you can't achieve it even if you have a hundred mantras. ”
was seen through
I wanted to give what order was seen through
This bunch of words is a warning, "Don't do useless work."
But......
"Strange."
"Huh?"
I stared into her eyes, "If it's ineffective, why are you stopping me?" If what you want is freedom, wouldn't it be better for me to waste the spell on this kind of thing? Three times the power of absolute command is an eyesore to you, right? ”
"Well, it's an eyesore." The girl admitted without hesitation
"And why?"
"Let's say it at the beginning, [to prevent you from wasting your life-saving opportunity]."
"That's ......"
"I'll say that too, although I won't listen to your orders, but I have always been summoned by you, and these three chances to save my life are my compensation for repaying you for calling me. These three spells are just for you to use to save your life, and you are not allowed to actively fight the Servant, and I have nothing to do with you when I use them. And, if you're clever and give some outrageous orders......"
The red-clad Servant's eyes narrowed, and at that moment he felt more danger than ever.
So what the hell is it
It was as if the Servant in front of him was another creature
A creature that is much larger than humans
Not giant creatures like elephants, whales, and dinosaurs
It's huge on another level
"When the three spells are gone, I'll kill you. Do you understand? ”
In other words, the spell can only be used three times, and it can only be used for self-protection
It's the worst case scenario, isn't it?!
I tried my best to summon the strongest Saber but didn't listen to orders at all, so I knew that it would be better to summon other job agents!
"What! What is this? Is it the fault of the incomplete summoning or did you hit the brain?! What a situation! ”
"Don't you understand? Let me ask you this question – what do you think is a servant? ”
"Demon Making, right?!"
Servant means "servant" in English, and the magician who summons the servant is called Master, which means "master".
It is very clear from the title. To magicians, Servant is something like magic
"Demons? Do you think of the Heroic Spirit as a demon? ”
The red-clad Servant chuckled nonchalantly
"Uh-huh......!"
Annoyed, though, it was a problem to call Servant an envoy
Originally, the demon was just a handyman who worked in place of a magician
It's like a cat in boots, a cute white bird, or a black dog that doesn't listen to its owner
That's just how much a magician can do
At most, the demon is just a demon, because it is a pet that runs errands for the owner, and it is impossible to be stronger than the magician who is the master
But Servant is different. They are literally the strongest beings in the human race, and even the five magicians are impossible to enslave them. It's not because it's hard to summon, it's not because the Servant's abilities are above the magician
The Servant itself is an existence beyond magic
Honestly, Servant is, the hero of the past
Myths, legends, fables, history. Whether true or not, if you are active in the legend and become a real "superman", you are called a hero
The hero, who has become eternal in people's legends, is separated from the scope of human beings after death and elevated to another existence
…… Those who perform miracles, help people, and accomplish great deeds are sacrificed as heroes during their lifetime or after death
Then they were sacrificed, and after their deaths, they were promoted to elves called Heroic Spirits, and became the guardians of the human side
It doesn't matter if it's a real person or a mythological person, it's people's thoughts that make heroes. The idea of "hopefully...", shaped their image and sacrificed them as real figures
It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, as long as they gain definite popularity and belief through legends, they can be embodied
The ultimate ideal born of human beings, the excellent existence of human beings
That's the hero, and it's the hero
This is a matter of course, they who surpass humans will never be manipulated by humans
"Got it? That's a lot simpler. ”
"W-What! Do you mean to talk about the self-esteem of the Heroic Spirit?! ”
"Well, what do you want to do with the Servant, to be honest, it has nothing to do with me. But ......"
Perhaps to confirm that I would not attempt the Command Charm again, the red-clad Servant removed the sword from my neck and turned around as if he wanted to leave in the direction of the gate
"I'm free."
“…… Ha? ”
"Don't understand? Indeed, the other Servants may indeed be the magicians of you magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War, as you say. However, I'm different. ”
"I have my own consciousness, I have my own thoughts, I have my own pursuits. I am not your thing, nor your demons, nor will I recognize you as my master. So, I will definitely not follow your orders to fight. You said it in the beginning, right? I am free. ”
Totally understood
It's not that there was a problem with the summoning
It's that this Servant is too self-conscious, and to put it mildly, too arrogant
Indeed, from the Servant's point of view, there was absolutely no need for her to obey my orders. If anything, it's because she's so much better than me
Humanity can't win against the Heroic Spirit no matter what
That being said, the loss of Servant is all over
I asked in a voice trembling with anger,
"What does that mean! Don't you want the Holy Grail?! ”
That's right, the Servant responded to the call because he could obtain the Holy Grail that could grant all wishes, and the Servant who could refuse the Holy Grail...... Non-existent!
As if attracted to it, the girl stopped
However, she did not have the reaction she had imagined. Only, tilting his head, he looked at me with blood-red eyes
"The Holy Grail? A holy grail that can grant all wishes? The Holy Grail of Almighty? Unfortunately, being called out to live in this world is my greatest wish. ”
"Wha!"
"Ah, by the way, that said, my body depends on your magical supply to survive. However, if you cut off my mana supply, I'll go to another magician to re-enter into a contract. Well, of course
You can also use the Command Charm to force me to fight for you, such as taking down such and such a Servant. It's true that by doing so, you can eliminate the three Servants, but Saber's mana is lian
The level that the spell can resist, although it can't be completely refused, it can still be delayed for a minute. The three chances to save lives are gone. In the end, these three chances are just for you to save your life. Ordering me to fight is not
Allowed. ”
At the end, a warning was dropped, and the red-clad Servant walked out of the room without looking back
Probably, never coming back
The body sat on its knees as if it had lost all its strength
It's ......
"It sucks......"
