Chapter 5, the heroine's counterattack
Doomsday, the world has come to an end.
The Last Day, the Last Day, the Last Judgment Day.
Many film and television literary works have described various apocalypse, which are roughly divided into four types: natural disasters, man-made disasters, and alien invasions. Or...... God's judgment.
No one knew why it happened, no one knew how, and they didn't even know what the end really was, and the end came suddenly.
Then everyone fell to the ground and died quietly.
Sit with your back against a lamppost. Tetsuya looked around. A year ago, the street was as bustling with people as ever. A year later, not a single one is still alive. Except for Tetsuya.
The earth is dead silent. There is no sound of machines operating, no sound of human noise, no sound of beasts roaring, no sound of birds chirping, no sound of insects squirping. There is no other life on Earth except Tetsuya, and even the plants that have not been destroyed by several mass extinctions have long since withered.
There are no other humans on the entire planet except Tetsuya. From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tetsu is also called "the strongest human being".
"The strongest human being...... Ha, Lao Tzu is roaring now, and no one on the whole earth dares to gasp! β
He lit a cigarette, took a puff and put it out on the ground. Tetsuya is not as optimistic as he says, he can feel that his life is gradually draining, and his lower body is completely immobile. As expected, he will be plunged into darkness next, dying alone on this planet, and dying the same way as other ordinary people. The so-called "strongest humans" only died later than the others β about a year later.
Chemical and biological weapons?
Genetic collapse?
Alien weapons?
Some kind of strange ray that occurs naturally?
Tetsuya didn't know why this happened, he only knew that he was going to die.
[This is the end times.] γ
There seemed to be a voice whispering in my head.
"So...... Can't I escape......"
Looking up, the sky was still blue, still so pure, as if it had become even bluer because of the loss of human beings as the source of pollution. What, according to the general plot, shouldn't the sky be blood-red at this time......
"The Doomsday thing can't be as late as the train? I haven't gotten through the game that just came out of the store...... It's rare to have such a great opportunity and no one cares about it......"
Fiddling with the paper bag containing the game disc next to him, Tetsuya sighed dejectedly.
"I really don't want to die......"
"Really? So mortal, how about we give you a chance? βββ
β
The first thing I feel when I wake up is a dullness in my chest.
Looking out of the window in a blur, the sun had risen.
Dream...... Is it ......
γYo!γ Good morning, are you awake? How did you sleep? γ
Consciousness was still a little blurry, but he could still hear the sound of birds and a sword outside the window.
Prop up your body while noticing the culprit of chest tightness, the twin peaks on your chest.
It's not a dream......
Take a big deep breath.
It looks like I can't sleep on my back anymore.
If it's a normal girl, because she's used to it, she won't have this kind of problem.
But for a girl who was a man yesterday, it was a feeling of pressing a considerable weight on her chest.
'Unknown ceiling ......'
Sitting up from the bed, the girl touched the back of her head, and now she didn't feel anything unusual, as if the sharp pain last night was an illusion.
The body was transferred to the soft bed, and the body was also changed into pajamas, but there was no underwear inside.
There is no doubt who the perpetrator is.
Ahhhh......h Is......
The thought of being moved out of the bathroom naked and changing into pajamas made the girl feel embarrassed. His cheeks flushed and he buried himself in the quilt. It's just a shame. Obviously, I pretended to be such a big one last night. If it were a real hero, he would probably have committed suicide by now to save his reputation.
[Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear that? Early~on~good~! Don't you know that it's rude not to answer when someone is greeting you good morning?! γ
You're just a sword. Also, don't talk in my head.
The sound of the "click" of the door lock machine spring twisting. The girl looked up in a panic, just in time to see Rin Tosaka pushing the door with food.
"Ah, you're awake? Want to have breakfast? Because Saber looked like a Westerner, I tried to make a Western-style breakfast. β
At this time, the girl had already adjusted her mood and did not answer, just stared at Rin Tosaka and secretly speculated about her thoughts.
"Do you really not eat it? Even though it's a Servant, you still have a basic sense of taste, right? This is the first time that Miss Ben has made breakfast for someone other than her family. β
As she spoke, she handed over the plate. Toast, jam, eggs, milk. Same as she said, standard western breakfast.
"If you want to please me, you don't have to, three spells, three helps, I won't back down on this." After all, it's about chastity.
[If you're too stubborn, no one will like it? γ
Shut up.
"Oh? But many things are not contested, and who knows the outcome? β
Placing the plate on the bedside table at random, Rin found a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, she put on a pair of glasses, and bowed down with the girl with her fingers staggered, if there was a table in front of her, she could simply cosplay Commander Ikati. Unlike last night, her emerald eyes seemed full of confidence.
is very generous to this posture girl.
"Saber said last night that what you want is to live in this world, right? In other words, Saber's wish is to be resurrected and live again, am I right? β
No, not at all, I didn't die at all.
Thinking so in her heart, the girl did not say it. She also wanted to see what Rin Tosaka had in mind to keep herself on the same side as her.
You must know that she is very satisfied just in this world, and no other interests can shake her at all.
But instinctively, the girl felt as if she had neglected something.
Rin Tosaka continued, "Saber wants to live in this world, and so far this has indeed been achieved. But Saber, have you forgotten something? β
Without giving the girl much time to think, Rin Tosaka said directly, "Saber, have you forgotten?" You're a Heroic Spirit, huh? Summoned by the power of the Holy Grail, it only exists in this Holy Grail War, and once the Holy Grail War is over, you will be sent to Valhalla. β
.
The girl finally understood what she had overlooked.
There are two conditions for the existence of Servant in the fate world, first, the dependency related to this world. Second, maintain your own magic. Even if one of these two elements is missing, it will not work. And the one who has these two conditions is the master. In other words, a Master is necessary for Servant.
I know this very well.,So last night I also threatened Rin Tosaka that if he dared to disconnect the mana supply, he would go to find another Master to re-conclude the contract.γ
However, this method can only be maintained until the end of the Holy Grail War.
The Servant's mana demand is extraordinary, and during the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail bears most of the mana consumption, so the average Master can afford it. Once the Holy Grail War is over, all mana costs will need to be provided by the Master. You must know that Ilya, the strongest Master in this cup battle, is an android with almost all magic circuits all over his body, and because he summoned ServantΒ· Berserker was also tormented by the terrifying demand for mana, which was inseparable from the incredible amount of mana consumed by Berserker itself, but on the other hand, it also showed that there were few masters who could maintain the Servant after the Holy Grail War.
Even Gilgamesh, the Archer Jobmate, survived for ten years on the large number of survivors of the disaster and fed on their life force.
In other words, if you don't want to eat people later......
"Claim the Holy Grail and use it to make a wish for your true existence in this world. This is the only way. β
Rin said confidently. With her glasses, it seems to have the image of a wise man. is worthy of being the heroine, the only person with a relatively high IQ in the original book.
Proud like a girl, she has to sigh. Speaking of which, the pair of glasses she wears should have the function of isolating charm, the MONOCULUS series or something. I was able to talk to myself head-on for so long.
What a mistake......
No, it can't be said to be a mistake. I'm afraid this is also a hole deliberately left for me. If you don't notice this, you'll be sent back to Valhalla until the Holy Grail War is over. I don't know where it is......
The girl's brain has made up for the palace of various heroes in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Naturally, the heroes are mostly male, and if they are sent in......
it! The 10,000 P conference is so heavy!
The girl couldn't help but shudder.
"How? SaberοΌ Have you figured it out? An An'an, a steady passive, and a passive avoidance of war, but you can't get the life you want, oh? β
After a moment of silence, the girl finally nodded.
"Well, I'll just say it as if I hadn't said it before. I will do my best to help you win the Holy Grail War. In return, you must also promise me that you will do everything you can to keep me in the end. β
deliberately did not mention the Holy Grail, but asked Rin Tosaka to reassure himself.
"So, in this case, it means that you admit that I am your master?"
"Ahhh
"It worked!"
With a cheer, Rin happily made her assurance. The difference between the two is completely unnoticed.
"So now for the most important ritual, Saber's real name is ......?"
The girl opened her mouth, but she couldn't remember the name that should have been put out of her mouth.
At the same time as she was almost scared out of a cold sweat, the girl realized that she had been pit again before she knew it. I don't know why I can't remember the name and what it means, but it's definitely been cheated.
βSaberοΌ Are you listening? Your real name? β
"I'm sorry, I can't remember the name of your incomplete summoning right now, it looks like there's a memory chip." Shaking her head, the girl made a troubled look.
"Really......"
Rin was slightly disappointed.
That being said, I need a name for myself right now, no matter what. A name is a label for a thing, and a girl doesn't want her label to be "girly" forever.
It's not a 17-year-old aunt.
The girl complained in her heart.
[Hey, how is shiki?] That's the standard main character name! In the world of the moon, there are three people named Shiki, the protagonist of "The Realm of the Void", Shiki (Shiki), and Shiki (Shiki), the protagonist of "Tsukihime". You see, it's either the protagonist or the villain, Bunker, right? γ
A bunker is a bunker, but why are you so interested in my name?
Ignoring the girl's questioning, the crimson sword chattered:
[What about the writing?] The pronunciation of shiki alone is not a name! Do you want a ritual? Or is it knowledge? Or is it an official position (post)? Or is it a textile (weaving)? Or do you dislike words? What about the purple clouds (purple qi) in the sky? What is the period of human death (death)? Maybe it's the four seasons (four seasons) of spring, summer, autumn and winter? What about the four types of jade (four instruments) of Guizhang Bicong? γ
The weaving of the weave is done.
[Oh oh oh! Girl, you know a lot! There are four ways to weave, you knowββββ]
Didn't pay any more attention to the crap of the crimson longsword. The name is pretty much enough.
Since we understand that avoiding war is a pitfall, we must grasp what happens after that. Especially......
Ori glanced at Rin, who was annoyed that she had made a mistake in summoning.
Make a wish to the Holy Grail to stay? Of course weaving wouldn't count on this thing. In the second ending of the ubw line in the original book, the female protagonist Rin Tosaka and the male protagonist Emiya Shirou teamed up to leave Saber, and if they get their favorability, they may be able to survive after the Holy Grail War...... Well? In this case, there may be another person to choose from...... Can be used as a fallback option......
