Act 53: The Essence of Calm is Collapse (Part II)

Natsume glanced at Kuyu Maiya, who was walking with Webb, and judging from the situation, there should be no problem.

Talking to Rider a bit, he talks about the reception he had with Saber and Archer after he left the castle, where Saber mentioned her wishes.

The wish to win the Holy Grail is to change the fate of Britain's demise, to deny the past of failure, and to save the people.

Natsume, who had already heard it, didn't say anything, just nodded slightly in response to Rider.

I've talked to Saber before, and while that wish seems beautiful, it's also tragic.

According to Rider, what the king did was not to blindly save, but also to have the right guidance, and Saber, who took all the responsibility on himself, probably didn't understand it very well.

It's okay to be selfish, Saber imposes her good wishes on those people, thinking that the 'king' in her heart is also the 'king' in the hearts of the people.

After all, such an idea brought only misfortune, betrayed by the knights, lost everything on the battlefield, and the 'knight king' came to an end.

So is it really the right thing to do?

Like Saber, if he wants to change the past, is he just as selfish?

Imposing one's own wishes on one's 'past family' must be similar to Saber's, and it's a self-righteous way of thinking.

Because you want to change the past, you have to change.

Because he wants to save them. That's why we have to save.

So have you sought their advice before acting?

Even if you take a step, you can't move forward, and the two people who are back to back, Natsume and Saber, I'm afraid they will both fall into the whirlpool.

"This king has obtained the Holy Grail, and it will definitely not change the past."

Why?

Natsume wanted to ask, the King of Conquest should have passed away before reaching the sea at the end of the world, isn't the fulfillment of his unfulfilled last wish the reason for his presence here?

Without asking Natsume to ask, Rider was the first to speak.

"In the past, this king led elite troops on expeditions. Fight. Victory, constant advance, wounds on the body, broken chariots. It's all my glory and the treasures I have received. If only I were to deny the past. This king will never do it. ”

Changing the past --

For this king.

Rider clenched his fist

"The King of Conquest will never look back at the past, but will conquer the unknown realms ahead, and those who have always been bound to the past. It's just a person who can't step forward. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

Natsume spoke out in denial.

"Why do you have such thoughts? Wouldn't it be nice to change the past? ”

"What a fool, as the master of that little girl, you are also entangled in something, that thing has indeed heard that it can grant any wish, but if that wish distorts the Holy Grail itself, do you think it will come true?"

"What?"

It's the same as conquest.

Rider spreads his hands.

"The king is here now, and if the past is changed because of the Holy Grail, will the king who has fulfilled his wish go after the Holy Grail to fulfill his wish to change the past? No, not anymore. ”

Other words.

This is a simple refutation.

Distorted the world, distorted the refutation of the Holy Grail.

However, if anything can be achieved with the Holy Grail, it is not impossible to break through this refutation.

Even if you change your past and get a normal life without being discovered by the Frame of Revelation, you won't come here, which means that the Holy Grail will fill its existence with something.

It is impossible to change the past.

It's based on the flow of time, but if it's based on miracles, it's fine.

The Holy Grail is a miracle thing, Natsume has always thought so.

"It seems that you can't agree with my statement, this king said bluntly, he is indeed very resentful of dying on the way to his destination, and wants to do it all over again."

"That's it, whoever you are, you want to make up for your past mistakes."

"But, human."

Showing the posture of a king, the tall Iskandar looked down at Natsume.

"Not to mention changing the past to deny the past, after that, have you thought about the future?"

"The future? It is precisely because it has changed into the situation I want that the future will definitely ......"

"Is that a future still a future?"

We are always moving forward and never stopping.

As he spoke, the King of Conquest took a huge step and distanced about a meter from Natsume.

Quickly catching up, he heard the next words of the king of conquest.

"It is the mistakes made in the past that we will make up for them in the future, and after being punished for those mistakes, we will find ways to change them. It does not mean to change the past, but to change one's own mind, and this king will not stop moving, because this king has already confirmed the future, even if he is already a heroic spirit at the time of his appearance, and the confirmed things will not be distorted and changed. ”

"What do you confirm, the future?"

"Of course."

The King of Conquest laughed, showing his own royal impose.

"During his lifetime, the king led his army all the way to the east, hoping to reach the 'end of the world' and see the legendary 'boundless sea' with his own eyes, but in the end he failed, but this king received the same treasure."

It is the trust that is entrusted to the warrior in battle, the loyalty that is supported in the advance, and the glory that is shared together when winning.

So.

"It's ridiculous to ask this king to forget all those things, although you and I as human beings don't understand it very well, but in terms of results, this king thinks that your way of thinking is wrong, and the next time you take a step, go and feel what you can get, that is, something you have lost and forgotten."

Like the king sitting on the throne, Iskandar patted Natsume on the shoulder with his hand, then grabbed the back of Webb's coat and led him to the barbecue restaurant on the street.

What's wrong?

Kuyu Maiya leaned over to ask herself, and Natsume just shook her head.

Does what Iskandar said really mean to him?

It is precisely because I want to move forward that I will move forward, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is actually stagnant?

Raising his head, Natsume exhaled a breath mixed with a large amount of heavy emotional gas, and grabbed the hand of Kuyu Maiya next to him.

"Want something to eat? Come with them and go see it, Miss Neo. ”

"That name."

Not knowing what Kuyu Maiya was saying, Natsume pulled her towards the middle of the city, and the tall Rider could be seen in the crowd. (To be continued......)
