In the middle of the night when Illya Fell and the others attended the welcome banquet of their ally Rin Tosaka and stayed at the Tosaka house, in the basement of the Maki family, which was as quiet as a haunted house, the ancestor of Maki was standing next to a magic circle carved from human blood, intending to start the Nth Servant summoning ceremony.

"Shinji, today is your last chance.

If you can't summon the Servant by the end of today, I'll have to think about ......"

"Kiln ......"

In the dim candlelight, the old face of Grandfather Makiri's old age was half yellow and half black, and it looked much more terrifying than an ordinary dead person. Coupled with the peculiar smell of the elderly, which is reminiscent of a rotting corpse, it is simply the kind of living dead in horror movies.

And Shinji knew better than anyone what was hidden in the dark corners of the basement, and with his very low talent for magic, he relied on the "help" of those insects to become an unqualified magician, and none of the Servants were willing to respond to his calls, although he didn't call those guys to fight in the first place.

Magician, this is a fantasy profession that all children dream of, and even if you can't exercise magic, magic can do with it. But if you have to endure the pain of being devoured by ten thousand insects to become a magician, and if you have insufficient talent, you have to be transformed into a worm in human skin, then are there any children who want to become magicians!!

"Release, don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely succeed this time! I'm sure I'll make it!! ”

Faced with the dead old man who used the lollipop to trick his young and ignorant self into the basement and forcibly pushed him into a sea of worms, Shinji Maki could only force himself to show a hearty and confident smile, and his eyes were shining as if he was teaching the students to shoot arrows in the archery club.

"Ordered to take the girl" is also one of the most important tasks of the puppet named Shinji Makiri, and the damn old man seems to wish that he would become a humanoid seeder for the world's cloth, and then choose another child with the highest magic literacy from among his descendants to "teach carefully".

But even if you know to be your own...... What a miserable thing it is for the children of the Matong family, but he still has to keep planting everywhere. Doing disgusting things to those stupid women who adore him all day long.

There is no way! He didn't dare to resist his grandfather, and he couldn't resist his grandfather! Uncle Wild Goose Ten Years Ago...... Damn it! If that waste dead ghost can claim the Holy Grail, maybe he won't have to suffer so many sins, and he will be able to live a merry life when he grows up!

"Let's get started, Shinji, you don't want to disappoint me again......"

"Yes, Grandpa! I'm not the same as that dead ghost in the wild goose, and I won't let you down! ”

"Huh...... Do you remember the wild goose night......

Honestly, you can't catch up with him at all, but who knows for sure when it comes to luck. ”

Damn it! Even if he was so low-voiced, the dead old man who didn't eat oil and salt never treated him even the slightest bit, just because he tried his best to cooperate. tried his best to play the role of a good grandson who "listens to his grandfather", so he didn't "discipline" him extraly!

Why is this old guy still alive! Why never die! Obviously, he had smelled death and decay on this old fellow's body several times, but within a few days, his physical condition improved slightly, and he was still alive tenaciously after more than ten years...... It's as tenacious as a bug!

"Whoever it is, please come quickly! Come and save me! I don't want to be a bug! I—I want to live!! ”

Standing in front of the blood circle that exuded an aura of despair, Shinji Makiri, who was already sweating on his forehead, shouted and prayed in his heart...... Even begging! He had prayed countless times, but no one had come to save him, but just like pleasing his grandfather, even if he knew it was useless, he could only pray now, and perhaps the Servant who had only responded to his call because he had taken the trouble to do so appeared.

He knows better than anyone else. This world is unusually cold and cruel for people without talent, even in ordinary life, ordinary schools. But it is precisely because of this that those who have no talent especially hope for a savior, especially for someone to save them with great kindness! Because they know very well that they cannot be saved by their own strength alone. Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up in such a field in the first place.

"Babble...... ......"

"Goo-toot!"

In the restless sound of those insects that seemed to be getting more and more ** in the dark, Shinji Makiri, who was full of "confidence", shrugged his Adam's apple and swallowed his saliva hard, and then he secretly gritted his teeth, and finally used all his strength to shout out the summoning spell that had already been memorized backwards:

"Its base is silver and iron......

Gradual. The blue-white light lit up, but it only made Shinji Maki more impatient.

"Why haven't you come out yet! Why not hurry up and come out! Please, come out quickly! This is my last chance! ”

The magic array that only lit up and went out every time, and not even a dog had summoned it. The boy chanted the incantation aloud as he roared in despair in his heart.

At the same time that the last sentence of the incantation was recited, the light of the magic array reached its peak, and the final judgment had come for Shinji Makiri, a human. If the magic circle is still empty when the light is extinguished, his fate as a human will be over, and he will probably be concocted by his grandfather into a puppet like Uncle Yanye.

"Kiln ——!"

In the deathly silence, the insects hidden in the depths of the darkness surged like a carnival, and Shinji Maki thought it must be because they were looking forward to their young flesh with joy.

And his own expectations had been extinguished with the rapidly fading light of the magic array...... No, in fact, he didn't have any expectations from the beginning, if something really appeared, it would have appeared a long time ago, and there was no need to play a big card until the end of the day.

"Help me! That's what I begged you to do! Who's going to save me!!!!!!! ”

Staring at the faint light on the magic array that was about to be extinguished like his own life, Shinji Maki finally roared loudly like crazy, not in his heart, but in front of his grandfather.

At the end of the day, the light of the magic array was finally completely extinguished, but a girl in white with a holy light appeared in front of Shinji Makiri, who had collapsed to the ground, just like a saint sent by God to save him! (To be continued.) )
