Chapter Twenty-Eight: Foreshadowing
"Blah, blah, blah!" The good old man Emiya Shirou finally came back to his senses and stood in front of Saber with Xue Qiong.
Saber was expressionless, and said in a resolute tone: "Master, please don't stop me, the other party is an enemy that must be eliminated..."
"Alas...," Rin Tosaka sighed, "I didn't expect that Saber, the strongest, was actually drawn by you, a half-person, and he didn't even complete the ritual, and he didn't recite the spell... Did you carve that circle on the ground? β
Emiya Shirou touched his head, "No, I've been here since I can remember..."
"As a result, the Holy Grail just pulled someone to make up the number, and assigned the strongest rank to him!!" Rin Tosaka growled in extreme unbalance, and then began pounding the floor.
"Master, pleaseβ" Saber was still holding on.
"This Saber... Madam," Xue Qiong said with a dull expression, and at the same time, the person also returned to his original position, "Please look at the atmosphere here now, do you think that even if you want to fight, can you fight?" β
"......" Saber speechlessly looked at the few people present who had lost all their fighting spirit, and had to say to Emiya Shirou formulaically: "Servant, Saber is called, are you my master?" β
Xue Qiong took a cigarette in her mouth, but suddenly thought that there were minors here, so she didn't light it, and then said to whom: "Look at people, how fanning you are when you say this!" β
"Cutβ" Minette turned her head.
"So... I really don't understand anything about the Servant, Master or something, you're talking about..."The main character, Lord Emiya Shirou, has not figured out the situation until now.
"Tosaka-san, you continue to give him popular science, let's go home and sleep." Xue Qiong waved his hand and walked out of the warehouse, Xiao Yun, Bald Head, and Minette quickly followed behind him, and Nicholas was re-spiritualized.
Xue Qiong made such a decision for a reason, after all, the main purpose of their coming here today "to save the life of Emiya Shirou and obtain some benefits, while monitoring the development of the plot and the degree of change" has also been completed, and there is no need to continue to rely on it here. Even Xue Qiong felt that if she chatted for a while today, there was a possibility that she would unknowingly expose herself as a complete magic layman.
"Hey! Wait a minute!! Rin Tosaka's voice came from behind, but Xue Qiong was not ready to turn back. If you want to mix with the protagonists according to the original plot, there is also a plot where these two people report to Yanfeng Church tonight, and encounter Berserker on the way back. However, in these two things, Xue Qiong felt that he couldn't take any advantage.
-------------
On the way back, because I didn't have to be in a hurry, I naturally changed to a relatively safe bald head to drive. Stopping halfway to put Minette down, he told her to spiritualize and monitor Emiya Shirou and his party, and by the way, take a look at Berserker, who is expected to appear, and if the other party does not appear because of the plot change, he can also know as soon as possible.
After everyone returned to the apartment, they didn't do anything, they washed and slept.
The next morning, Xue Qiong found that Xiaoyun did not appear in her bed, it seems that it was because she came back late and fell asleep all of a sudden... During breakfast, Minette, who didn't know what time he came back in the morning, went directly back to his room to sleep, reported the situation to Xue Qiong, and there was no difference from the original work in Xue Qiong's memory, but Minette expressed surprise at Berserker's terrifying brute force, and Emiya Shirou, who was beheaded twice in one day, was still alive.
I don't know where the plot of the Sakura line is different... For the three intruders, compared to the other masters and reincarnators of the Heart Association, this is the problem that can really cause big trouble.
Today is Sunday, the school has a full day off, and even Xue Qiong and Bald Head, the two people's teachers, can enjoy the same free air as the students.
In the morning, three people and one heroic spirit, with Nicholas, a summoned creature that is neither human nor ghost, and outsiders seem to be a total of five people, came to the Yanfeng Church to do a routine registration for the Holy Grail War. After Xiao Yun said that Gilgamesh actually didn't have a meeting reward, Xue Qiong deduced that there were likely to be some big changes in this group of people in the cherry line, and the other party's Lancer seat was definitely occupied, and the threat was reduced a lot, so Xue Qiong decided to really come and put this lineup on the bright side.
But when they arrived at the church, they found that Yan Feng Qili was actually doing a prayer...
Yes, that's right, this fake priest who likes super spicy mapo tofu and the expression of human pain is actually serious and seriously explains the Bible on the podium to persuade people to be kind, if Xue Qiong does not have a certain understanding of the original work, he must really believe that he is a good person.
A few people didn't have anything to do today, so they found a random spot and listened for half an hour... During this time, Xue Qiong stopped Xiaoyun from wanting to take potato chips out to eat.
Finally, Yan Fengqi's prayer was finished, and he smiled and answered the questions of several enthusiastic aunts, including Bible doctrine and whether Mr. Priest was married.
"Yo!" Yan Feng Qili greeted this side, "Isn't this the Holy Maiden of the Cross?" How can you really listen to Christian sermons for so long? And this is..."
Yan Fengqili's eyes were very sharp, and he quickly noticed the reverse cross necklace that Xue Qiong was wearing around his neck.
"I'm here to report to you, the Overseer, about the Holy Grail War... Introduction. Xiao Yun stood up from the bench, stretched, pointed at Xue Qiong and the others one by one and said, "My boyfriend, my landlord, my best friend, my boyfriend's Servant, Caster." β
[Successfully interact with the world's important plot character "Yan Feng Qili" for the first time, and reward 320 points.] γ
"Alright, let's go." After Xiao Yun finished speaking, she took Xue Qiong's hand and wanted to go out.
"What kind of lineup are you bringing to participate in the Holy Grail War..."Rao is Yanfeng Qili, and he couldn't help but wipe his sweat when he saw such an unfolding, "It's all here, don't you sit down for a while and chat or something?" β
"Oh, that's pathetic, Yanfeng..."Gilgamesh walked out of the inner chamber of the church.
"Hmph, there's really no way..."Yan Feng Qili said helplessly, and then shouted out the door: "By the way, if there are innocent people injured in the Holy Grail War, you can send them to me!" Don't overthink it, that's what I said to the other combatants who came to report! β
Several people left the church in this way. As Xue Qiong walked, he said to Xiao Yun that there was a reward for meeting him, and then asked Minette, "When you were monitoring Emiya Shirou last night, did this priest say anything about sending the wounded over?" β
Minette recalled, nodding affirmatively.
(Then this is the normal plot unfolding, but I remember that there must be no such sentence in the original work...) Is it a foreshadowing unique to the plot of the Sakura Line? Will there be any important plot that is sent over with a serious injury from a certain protagonist? It's basically impossible for Emiya Shirou to have Avalon... By the way, he said that he was talking about "innocent people who have nothing to do with the Holy Grail War", which should be... Sakura Makiri? Plus we do have found out that there are some problems with her body... Wait, if you think about it, if Sakura is the core protagonist now, it can't really be related to the Holy Grail War Fart. Because if that's the case, in this world with the Holy Grail War as the main line, she can only play soy sauce in the daily plot like in the TV version of the original work, and it is impossible to become the real core protagonist... οΌ
In the following time, it became a repetition of yesterday, shopping, eating or something... It's just that in this process, Xue Qiong has been thinking about these things that he has and doesn't, and in the end, he came to the conclusion that "in the next plot, Jian Tong Ying will definitely be sent to Yanfeng Church for treatment because of some problems".
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yun once again avoided the eyes of all the plot characters and put a new dress into the storage space...
"Let's go to Wei Gong's house for dinner at night!! Xiao Yun suddenly proposed such a... Some weird suggestions.
Lunch is in the super spicy Chinese restaurant where Xiaoyun has broken the halberd and sunk into the sand, Hongzhou Banquet New Year's Pavilion-Taishan Solution, although in a sense everyone is refreshed, but today's appetite is still not satisfied at all.
"Look, you see, what I learned from my senior..."It's really a shame that Xiaoyun can still find a bunch of reasons for this whim, "First of all, Emiya Shirou is a good man, and we passed in broad daylight, and we were not afraid of fighting... Second, we have to stare at the plot development of the Sakura line if we don't know anything about it... There is a final reason, listen to Fujimura Taiga, the original Zhongwei Gong Shirou and his cooking sister Kirizakura, the craftsmanship is super good~~"
Xue Qiong looked at it and thought for a while, it was indeed not dangerous...
"Then go ahead! Buy some more gifts, it just so happened that I promised Emiya Shirou because of the bad incident last time, and I wanted to come to the door to apologize to Sakura..."
"Yo Yo! Rub rice! Rub rice!! Xiaoyun shouted happily twice, and passers-by looked sideways.
"What to bring?" The bald head asked a more practical question.
"yes, what to buy?" Xue Qiong was in a hurry. Sure enough, they are not very good at this relatively normal social ...
"Well, since we're going to eat..."After everyone was dumbfounded for a moment, Minette said, "How about buying some high-end ingredients?" In this way, you can end up in your own stomach, and you won't be treated as just eating white food..."
Xiao Yun flattened her left hand in front of her chest and smashed it in the palm of her hand with her right fist.
"Makes sense!"
A few more people walked around the shopping street, bought some high-quality beef, sea fish, matsutake mushrooms, and the like that added up to hundreds of thousands of yen, and walked to Emiya's house.
Fortunately, the hard currency brought by the three of them, and the cash that Xiaoyun exchanged for at Fujimura was not too small, otherwise it would definitely not be possible to afford such profligacy... However, Xue Qiong estimated that if this continued for a few more days, she might have to go to a nearby big city to sell the white powder on her hand...
(But why do I always have a strange premonition...) Xue Qiong's heart was shocked.
