The thick fog of the night shrouded the icy air, and Tosaka Tokitomi fell from the sky.

Autonomous descent with the help of gravity operation and airflow control. It is not difficult for a skilled magician, or rather, proficiency is divided by the grace of the posture.

It maintains a completely vertical straight track and lands as lightly as a feather. The clothes and hairstyles were not messy in the slightest—the ordinary magician would be amazed by the exemplary skillful technique of Shi Chen.

However, the night of the wild goose has turned into an anomaly. He had no reverence or longing for magic in his heart.

Awe turns to hatred, envy to anger. For Yan Ye, whose body has been twisted to an extremely ugly figure, Shi Chen's elegance and gorgeousness should be cursed.

"You guy - all the time."

His speech, his mannerisms, that noble temperament. Since the day he appeared in front of Aoi and Goose Night, this man has been "perfect". That kind of elegance and calmness has always made the wild goose night have a sense of "drop".

However, this is limited to tonight.

The elegance that this man values most is nothing on the battlefield where they fight each other. The family motto that makes the Tosaka family proud must be trampled and crushed here......

Yan Ye mercilessly injected all his magic into Berserker, who had already begun to fight, and the severe pain caused by the madness of the engraved worm in his body was like a file scraping his hands and feet, piercing into the bone marrow, and almost fainting.

However, this kind of pain is nothing compared to the hatred that bites Yan Ye's heart.

Tosaka Tosaka's narrowed eyes revealed a keen look, showing his calmness before the battle. Provoked the wild goose night.

"I have given up the Demon Path, but I am still obsessed with the Holy Grail. And come back like this...... The ugliness of you alone is enough to disgrace the entire Maki family. ”

Yan Ye replied with a mocking tone. The sound that came out of his mouth sounded like an insect even to himself.

"Tosaka Tokitomi, I only want to ask you one thing...... Why did you entrust Sakura to a dirty inkstone? ”

“…… What the? ”

Hearing the unexpected question, Shi Chen frowned.

"Is this something you should be concerned about right now?"

"Answer me, Shi Chen!"

Shi Chen sighed and said to the excited Yanye.

- You don't have to ask. I just hope that my beloved daughter can have a happy future. ”

"What...... Is it? ”

After receiving an incomprehensible answer, a temporary blank appeared in Yanye's brain. When Yan Ye froze, Shi Chen said in a flat tone.

"Magicians who get twins will have troubles - secret magic can only be passed on to one of them. This is the dilemma that there will always be a child reduced to mediocrity no matter what. ”

Mediocrity -

This sentence echoed in the blank mind of the wild goose. Sakura who has lost her smile. and the appearance of frolicking with Rin and Aoi...... Shi Chen's words were mixed into his small happy memories.

What a mother and daughter looked like a long time ago - this man, with just one sentence of "mediocrity", gave up?

"My wife, in particular, is very good as a mother. Whether it's Rin or Sakura, they were born with the same rare talent. The two daughters must have the protection of the famous demon family.

Taking away the potential of one for the sake of the future of the other - as a father, no one wants such a tragedy to happen. ”

The reason that Shi Chen gushed out endlessly, Yan Ye couldn't understand at all—no, he didn't want to understand. Even if you understand only a small part of this magician's theory. He also felt like he was going to vomit on the spot.

In order to continue the talents of the two sisters, one of them had to be given away as an adopted daughter. Therefore, the request of the Lady of the Kirino is undoubtedly a gift from heaven. As one who knows the existence of the Holy Grail, the more likely it is to reach the 'Root'. Even if I can't do it. And Rin, if Rin can't complete it, there will be Sakura, and there will always be someone who will inherit the long-cherished wish of the Tosaka family. ”

Why is he able to tell such a desperate truth quietly?

At the same time, if you aim for the path of "roots". This means --

“…… Fighting each other? Between two sisters?! ”

Faced with Yan Ye's questioning, Shi Chen burst out laughing. He nodded with a cold expression.

"Even if it leads to such a situation, it will be a blessing for the last generation of my race. If you win, the glory is your own. Even if it fails, glory will go to the name of the ancestors. Such a no-brainer duel is exactly what you dream of. ”

"You're crazy!"

Facing the gnashing of his teeth, Shi Chen just glanced at it coldly and shouted mockingly.

"It's in vain to tell you. You don't understand the nobility of the Demon Dao at all, the deviant guy who once was. ”

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The hatred and anger that transcend the limit activate the engraved worm in the body of the wild goose. Chills and severe pain spread throughout the body. Even so, it is a blessing for the current wild goose night.

Erode, devour my flesh. All the magic that results from it will turn into a curse on the enemy......

Like a rushing tide, the insects crawl out of the shadows around them and gather in one place. It's a repulsive reptile that looks like a maggot and is the size of a mouse. All of this is the tooth that Yan Ye took from the hand of the imagi inkstone when he became the master - a weapon to deal with the unreasonable war.

"I can't spare you...... Despicable magician! ”

I'll kill you! And dirty inkstones! One kills all without leaving behind!! ”

The insects, which had accepted the resentment of the wild goose night, twitched and twisted together in pain, and then cracked a crack in their backs, revealing their carapace and wings that flipped with a steely black light.

One by one, the reptiles metamorphosed into giant beetles, buzzing and spreading their wings, flying around the geese and forming legions. In the blink of an eye, a large group gathered, and these "winged blade insects" who constantly bite their sharp jaws and make noises, showing their ferocious nature, adjust their fighting stance. This is the strongest attack method of the night of the insect envoy.

In front of a large herd of meat that could devour a cow in an instant, Tosaka Shichen's expression was still calm.

Originally, his level as a magician was much higher than that of Yan Ye. That's why the wild goose night tried his best to release the secret technique. In the eyes of Shi Chen, it is neither surprising nor fearful. He can even calmly. In a duel with this former rival, he laughs at the tricks of fate.

"--The magician is the one who has 'power' from the moment he is born. And. One day there will be 'greater power'. Until this fate is realized, this responsibility flows in the 'blood'. This is to be born as the son of a magician. ”

Shi Chen said coldly, raised the staff of civilization, and launched the technique of fire from the huge ruby inlaid with the head of the staff.

The defensive array, which depicts the image of the Tosaka family's crest in the air, turns into a red lotus fire and burns the night air. It's an offensive defense that burns everything it touches. Although this seems a little childish in front of a layman-like enemy, it is not at all merciful.

Because-

"Since you refused to inherit the family business, the magic of Maki was in Sakura's hands. I have to thank you for that...... But. I will never forgive you.

Evading the responsibility of the bloodline, this weakness, is a despicable act that cannot be compensated for by any means. The night of the wild goose, the shame of the devil's path. Since I see you again, I can only destroy you. ”

"Stop talking nonsense...... You inhuman thing. ”

"You're wrong. Being responsible for oneself is the first condition of being a human being. If you can't even do this, you are not worthy of being a human being, but a dog. Got it? Wild goose night. ”

"Worms. Devour this guy, bite this guy. ”

Facing the swarming insect swarm, it is a dancing scorching flame.

……

Rin Tosaka asked Aoi Tosaka, "Mom." The thing about Sakura was partially concealed and not fully told to Dad, is this really good? ”

Aoi sighed, "You should know the current situation. It is not an easy task to win the final victory in the Holy Grail War. If you tell him everything about Sakura. Then it will put him in the greatest pain. In such a state, how can you fight thoroughly? If you lose because of this......"

Rin nodded, but said anyway, "But." Dad just went straight to that guy to duel, is it really okay? ”

Aoi showed an expression of both helplessness and hatred. said: "That person is just a half-ass, whether it is the level of a magician. In terms of Servant's advantage, your father has a complete advantage, even if he can't win because of an accident, but self-preservation is not a problem. ”

"Daddy will win." Rin said confidently, "Then, let Dad go to Makiri's house to rescue Sakura......"

Aoi sighed and didn't respond.

She said that before, but the Holy Grail War is a war with a high degree of accidents, and if an accident really happens, then ......

Aoi can only pray.

……

Ryunosuke is killing people, a lot of people.

With nothing to do and no Li Amen by his side, Ryunosuke felt that his soul was liberated for a while, and he could kill again.

God does not forbid him to kill, but it is less likely to cause trouble by killing the wicked.

Underground forces belong to underground forces, and mainstream society has no way to interfere.

In this way, it is greatly convenient for Ryunosuke.

But ah, if it's just to kill the wicked, is that really enough?

Ryunosuke was actually not satisfied, although he had the experience of fighting the Heroic Spirit afterwards, which gave him great satisfaction for a while.

However, when God was not around, Ryunosuke felt more and more lonely.

Once lonely, he wants to kill, this is Ryunosuke's evil nature.

Is there any other place in Fuyuki City where there are wicked people? Looks like you're almost done.

So, let's go and see the homeless people who no one pays attention to, and let's kill a group of people to relax a little first.

However, the number of homeless people is not too much, so what are you going to kill after you kill them?

Ryunosuke smiled sweetly and said, "Then it's up to luck to kill." Everything is God's choice...... If someone appears in front of me when I want to kill someone, it means that fate wants me to kill him. Well--I'm not going to be polite then. If you do that, I don't think the gods will have a problem. ”

Thinking of this, Ryunosuke smirked. (To be continued......)
