39: Relic
The organizers of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City are known as the Misan, the Makiri, Tosaka, and Einzberen families.
But in reality, the real core is the Einzberen family, and the other two are only starting out.
From the design concept to the implementation plan, it is all the figurines of the Einzberen family...... Oh no, addicted to the Dead House of Cyborgs.
The Tosaka family provides the spiritual vein of Fuyuki City, the Maki family...... During the First Holy Grail War, there was no Kiriri, only an ideal who wanted to eliminate all "evil" and all "karma" in human beings, and by the way, he fell in love with Machiri Zorgen of Estissa, the head of the Einzberen family at that time...... That is, the insect master who has just been judged by Gasai.
In fact, at the beginning, the three royal families were all based on almost lofty ideals and thoughts, and the original Great Holy Grail was also shaped under this ideal.
However, when they all discover that the Great Holy Grail can indeed connect to the root and complete the "miracle", the selfish side of human nature takes over.
That's why the Holy Grail War is such a moth.
On the way to Einz Bellenburg, Mishan was talking to Grunt about these things.
Although Fujimaru Rika had long known about the before and after of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City from Ermelo II, who owned Zhuge Kongming Lingji, the magician who had participated in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City and was finally responsible for ending this inexplicable battle, knew more information.
Many of these background settings, like those mentioned by Mishan, can only be known by players who are located in higher dimensional existences like Mishan.
So Fujimaru Rika also listened to it with relish, just like listening to gossip.
For example, Alice Phil likes drag racing or something.
When Y. Shan said Alice Phil's hobby, even though Alice Phil remained in a state of spiritual childization, she still had the feeling that other servants were looking at her.
And the expressions are all "Wow, there is still this setting?" ”
No way, who made Alice Phil always look like a good wife in Chaldea, and never exposed herself to such a side.
If it weren't for the fact that the time for Yonesugi to say all this gossip was almost there, Rika Fujimaru would really want to get a supercar and see Alice Field's six-bend gutter cornering technique...... Presumably the other servants are also curious.
While chatting about these gossips, a group of people from Mishan arrived at the Einzberen Fortress in the forest on the outskirts of Winterwood City.
When Y. Shan stood in front of the gate, it was just past 12 o'clock in the morning...... Originally, I was going to summon the servants to participate in the Holy Grail War at this time, but Rin Tosaka, who was dragged with him, showed a very tangled expression.
"Don't worry about it, the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is not a good thing." Yonesugi said to Rin Tosaka.
"I've been preparing for this day for ten years!" Yonesugi's words seemed to provide an outlet for Rin Tosaka, who can be called a typical tsundere Rin Tosaka in Japanese anime, said loudly.
"It's useless, you're not the protagonist, and it's useless to prepare for a long time." Mi Shan interrupted calmly.
"The protagonist? What protagonist? "Rin Tosaka didn't know what Yonesugi was talking about.
Without waiting for Yonesugi to give an answer, Fujimaru Rika moved her gaze to Shirou Emiya, who had followed Kazuma Sakura arm in arm and didn't get tired all the way.
“…… What the? Is he the main character? How could it be ......" Rin Tosaka said with some collapse because he couldn't accept it.
"That's the setting, and it's all about this time, and you still care about what the Holy Grail War does." Mishan pointed to the sky and said.
“…… Well, when I didn't say anything. Rin Tosaka remembered that there were still a dozen starships floating in the sky.
Whether it was an ordinary person or a magician, or an alien hiding in the dark, they must have been in a state of panic within a few hours of the appearance of these starships.
Fuyuki City, which was illuminated by these dozen warships with "pillars of light" (Star Destroyer Cannon Locking System), must have become the focus.
Under this premise, Rin Tosaka knew very well that even if he summoned the servant and had the identity of the master, the Holy Grail War would definitely not be able to fight.
After all, it's all the fault of that pale gold glittering soul! It's pretty neat and tidy to disappear.
"By the way......" Yonesugi, who had been talking to Rin Tosaka for a while, looked at the closed gate of Einz Bellenburg and thought about how to get in, and suddenly said to Rin Tosaka:
"The servant you will summon is Emiya Shirou."
"What?" Rin Tosaka showed a look on her face, and after you are not teasing me, she looked at the young version of Emiya Shirou, who also didn't know what was going on.
"Oh, it's the adult version of Emiya Shirou after becoming a servant." Mishan said.
"Oh......" Rin Tosaka breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yonesugi's words...... As a result, she didn't finish this breath, and she immediately said in surprise:
"Wait, the summoning servant is for the holy relic! How can I summon the Valhalla without a holy relic? ”
"Aren't you wondering why your old classmate became a Heroic Spirit?" Mishan asked with a smile.
“…… It seems strange, I really can't imagine what great things will be done after the palace. Rin Tosaka said as if reminded.
"In order to practice one's ideals, abandon one's family and children, and finally give one's life for the ideal of justice, is this a great cause?" Mishan asked.
“…… Emiya, can he do such a thing? Rin Tosaka didn't answer whether this act was a great thing or not, but glanced at the young version of Emiya Shirou, who was trying to accept everything, with a look of disbelief and a slight admiration.
"You don't have to ask him if he can do this kind of thing, but he has done this kind of thing, and that's why he became a ...... Heroic Spirit. “
Mi Shan originally wanted to use the Guardian, but after thinking about it, he could follow Gollum to protect the people, and the steady rhythm of the Heroic Spirit.
"But what about the relics? You can't summon the future Emiya just because I'm classmates, right? Rin Tosaka brought the conversation back to the relics.
"Well, the relationship between classmates may not be enough." Mishan nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, the closed gate of Einzberenburg slowly opened, and two rows of identical-looking maids were waiting on either side.
"Huh...... Why is there a welcome ceremony? Yonesugi, who had interrupted the communication with Rin Tosaka, said strangely.
"While you're chatting with Rin Tosaka, I've already asked Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice Phil to go." Rika Fujimaru said.
Hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, Yonesugi saw that behind the team of these android maids, there was Alice Phil, who had taken off his heavenly clothes and changed into the white woolen coat he had once had, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who was wearing a suit.
It's like it was during the Fourth Holy Grail War ten years ago.
As for how these two servants managed to get this castle, Mishan nodded and walked in without asking any questions.
"Wait a minute, you haven't told me why I was able to summon Emiya Shirou!" Still wondering why he was able to summon the Heroic Spirit version of Emiya Shirou, Rin Tosaka hurriedly asked.
"The reason is very simple, the relationship between classmates is not enough, but the relationship between relatives is definitely enough." Mi Shantou said without replying.
"Loved ones? What do you mean? Wait a minute...... Do you mean...... "After all, it's a top student with an IQ, and it didn't take 2 seconds for Rin Tosaka to react to what Yonesugi was saying."
Rin Tosaka, who understood what Mishan meant, looked at Emiya Shirou's eyes changed, but it was Emiya Shirou who was looked at like this for a while before he came back to his senses What did Mishan mean by his relatives.
…… It means that in the future, Rin Tosaka will enter the palace of marriage with Shirou Emiya......
And then with the sentence that Mi Shan said just now, "abandon your family and even give your life for your ideals", it is even more wrong.
As for the so-called holy relics...... Of course, it's Rin Tosaka herself.
For Rin Tosaka, this is not himself than the protagonist of the story...... Oh no, it's more devastating than the fact that there is a protagonist.
