Chapter 254: The Goddess of Love

As the largest city Karene had ever seen, Tokyo had a hustle and bustle befitting its status, and the difference between night and day could not overshadow it, but when she came to the church where she was staying and saw the hurried footsteps of the clergy, even Joan of Arc, who was a little natural, realized that something was wrong.

The impact of the same news is completely different in different cities, and a gas explosion can subtly change the calm atmosphere of Fuyuki City, with schools dismissing early and curfews in the city.

But in Tokyo, this can only be regarded as an accident at most, except for the person concerned, other strangers do not even owe a sigh.

It didn't take much effort for Karlian to read the news from the news.

- Shinjuku gas explosion.

Last night, the natural gas that was sleeping underground was ignited for some reason, causing kilometers around it to be blown up, and now Shinjuku has issued an evacuation notice, and only a few residents are still living there.

It is said that the flames of last night have burned to the sky, and many residents have seen the wonder of the rebellion of the day and night, and some people have sworn that the sky has turned blood red.

However, when the police force next door was mobilized and the heavily armed team came to the scene of the serious damage, they did not see any residual flames, but this question was still hastily taken away by the host.

In the case of the scene environment is strictly blocked, even if there are really good deeds, there is no way to collect evidence that the police themselves have not found, and in the case that the police have announced it to the public, this matter is also completely closed, and the only value left is only to serve as a talking point.

"This is, Holy Grail War ......"

Looking at the news picture in which hundreds of pounds of bombs could not be reproduced, more like a huge crater caused by a missile washing the ground than a gas explosion, Karen muttered to herself.

"It's only the first night, and judging from the scale of the disaster, it's almost the same as the decisive battle in Nakayuki City."

Karen subconsciously pressed the back of her hand, remembering the spell wrapped under the holy cloth, and sighed softly.

"Master, I'll protect you."

As if sensing Karen's emotions, a gentle female voice rang out next to Karen.

The girl with golden braids was wearing a uniform like a high school student, and she was also staring at the crater, but her expression was a little dull.

"Just the first battle has caused such consequences, if you don't hurry up and find out the anomaly behind this Holy Grail War, the city will definitely be destroyed."

“ruler……”

Karene turned her head to look at Joan of Arc's heroic face and nodded thoughtfully.

In the past few days of tutoring, she also knows what kind of rank it is.

Only in the bad situation that does not belong to the normal situation and leads to the distortion of the world, can saints like them who have no desire descend into the vortex of desire.

As an off-seat rank, Joan of Arc's presence was enough for Karen to understand the gravity of the problem, the unscrupulous Heroic Spirits, the sprawling Tokyo, and the Holy Grail that had been wiped out but suddenly appeared.

There was an ominous air to it, and the fact was that the first night was so exaggerated, as Joan of Arc feared, that the staff of the Templar Church were already busy trying to reduce the impact of the matter.

However, although this movement has been covered up on the surface, for those who know the Demon Dao, this movement is as conspicuous as the lights in the night, and after that, there will definitely be all kinds of forces coming here to watch, and their presence will only make the situation more hopelessly fall into chaos.

However, in the face of such an imminent crisis, Kalian's heart did not fluctuate, and even wanted to laugh a little.

When it was known that Roland, the biggest anomaly, had also joined the Holy Grail War, it was really difficult for Karen to bring up any nervous emotions at this point, and Karen, who had been deeply connected with Roland many times, was very aware of the horror hidden in that body.

Compared to the destruction of the world, even if the city is completely destroyed, it is only a trace of history that is not worth mentioning...... Nor can the same be said, after all, it could also be the beginning of the book of Revelation.

"Master, do you have anything in mind?"

Because the emotions in Karen's gaze were too strong, Joan of Arc also withdrew her gaze from the TV and looked at her master suspiciously.

"I'm just thinking about why the legendary saint was summoned by an existence like me."

Karin shook her head, without blinking an eye, quickly throwing out the question she had just thought of to divert Joan of Arc's attention.

"Holy Maiden or something...... I'm just an ordinary girl, and without the revelation of the Lord, I'm no different from other believers, and our essence is very close. ”

The gentle and humble tone of her voice made it impossible for Karen to associate her with the girl who served in the army to save the country in history, because of human desires, to achieve such a tragic ending, and there was not even the slightest resentment on her face.

Such a pure and pious gesture made Karen feel unpleasant from the bottom of her heart.

Still, Joan of Arc's words made her a little intrigued, and was it not because of her status as a nun or a believer that she was able to summon this ruler, but because of her essence?

"Although it looks the same on the outside, let me ask you first, you are indeed a holy virgin, right?"

"Whew!"

Joan of Arc's face was instantly filled with a glow like a cloud of fire, and she let out a mournful sound like an electric shock, and her face was full of shyness and panic.

"This, this, this...... What a faux pas! ”

She glanced abruptly to the side, looking warily in case something suspicious was passing by, and overheard the conversation.

Although I had experienced it once in my life, it was a little unacceptable to publicize this kind of thing loudly in public, even if Joan of Arc was very gentle.

"It's really a good reaction, so there should be no problem with the authenticity of this matter," Karene pondered, holding her chin. "So, did you use it?"

"Eh, what have you used?"

Karen's reaction was so calm that Joan of Arc subconsciously entered her rhythm and replied dumbfoundedly.

"That's it, support items, like sticks, or ......"

As if afraid that Joan of Arc would not understand, Karene made a ring of one hand and threaded it through it with her index finger.

"Ahhhh

This hint, combined with the knowledge given by the Holy Grail, made Joan of Arc understand everything at once, and as she shook her head violently, she stopped Karen's follow-up words with an exclamation, and her long braids swayed behind her as if she wanted to throw away all the strange knowledge.

"No, it's really a veritable holy virgin."

Looking at Joan of Arc's reddened eyes with tears, Karen also roughly understood the essence of the other party, shook her head regretfully, and looked at Joan of Arc with some pity.

"In this way,...... It's really hard for you. ”

For some reason, when she saw Karen's expression, Joan of Arc felt a deeper sense of shame.

"Although I really don't have much in this regard...... But the purity of this body is reserved for the sake of dedication to the Lord! It's not because I can't find the male ...... I like."

For Kalian, who was able to rely on her profound poisonous tongue skills to win a big victory every time there was a dispute between many outstanding women, the powerless struggle of the Holy Maiden only increased her laughter.

Karen didn't say a word of rebuttal, but looked at Joan of Arc with loving eyes, nodding her head in affirmation, and the sparkle in the saint's eyes gradually faded and turned into a bad look.

Eventually, Joan of Arc squatted down and curled up in a ball.

This scene made Kalian's cold face can't help but evoke a smile of satisfaction, and she gently patted Joan of Arc's head and opened her mouth to comfort.

"Don't be sad, fate is destined, you just came a little late, you have a lot of welcome potential, and I kind of understand why you say that my essence is similar to yours."

"Hmm......"

After a few deep breaths, Joan of Arc calmed down and looked up again.

"By the way, since it's similar to me, it's more suitable for your type, and it should be a man with a tough attitude and self, who is not willing to give even a glance to people who don't care, and even if he cares, he will only give a trace of tenderness after being satisfied."

"Isn't that kind of man so rude and excessive!"

"That's it, it's perfect for a saint like you who likes to sacrifice herself and sacrifice everything, I happen to know a qualified candidate, do you want to introduce it to you?"

"Eh......"

Joan of Arc paused for a moment, and was about to think about the possibility of this, when the bell from outside made her react, this was not a daily conversation with friends, but the interlude of the Holy Grail War.

"Wait! Master, don't take the subject off again, weren't we just talking about the Holy Grail War? Now is the time to discuss strategy, right? ”

"Really?" Karen tilted her head cutely, looking unreal. "However, we can't do anything now, although you are an out-of-specification rank, but because you are not summoned by the Holy Grail on your own, but as a participant, you do not have the privilege of Ruler."

As the judge of a dangerous errand such as the Holy Grail War, the Ruler can not only read through the true name of each Heroic Spirit, but also has an additional spell that can command the Heroic Spirit twice, independent of the Master.

But Joan of Arc doesn't have this privilege these days, and her treasures are also very subtle existences, one of which can't perform any attacks despite being very good in defense, and the other is very powerful, but it doesn't look like something that can be used in normal times.

Therefore, the current Joan of Arc, although his attributes are also very good, will only become a veritable mediator in real battles.

"With your current strength, no matter which angle you think about it, we can only wait and see what happens, and then find the right time to find out who is behind the scenes when the battle intensifies."

"I'm a useless servant......"

Joan of Arc lowered her head again in shame, her eyes that had just lit up and were about to turn gray.

But this time, Karen didn't let her continue to blame herself.

"So, let's do something really meaningful during this time."

"Something meaningful? Master, what do you mean? ”

Joan of Arc looked up suspiciously, looking at Karen with a solemn face.

"Money."

Karene pulled out an envelope and shook it gently.

"Although I work as a nun, I don't have much left because I have my own interests and I often have to buy stockings and toys and stuff like that, and to be honest, I don't usually pay much attention to this aspect, so I don't have much savings."

She's not lying, she really doesn't care about this, although Roland is very generous, but girls will basically use this kind of request to unlock new ways to play, and occasionally ask for some precious collectibles on a whim, as for cash, it is not once.

"The round-trip fare has been prepared in advance, and the accommodation can also be borrowed through the relationship of the Templar Church, which can be regarded as saving this cost, but the problem is that you have enough to eat."

After cutting her brilliant silver hair, she looked at Joan of Arc, who was listening intently, and a hint of pleasure flashed in Kalian's deep golden pupils.

"Because my own qualifications are not very good, you need to eat to replenish your mana, so you can eat at least 20,000 yen a day, and in case of a fight, it will start at 50,000, considering that the Holy Grail War has just begun, our current economic situation is really bad, so it is urgent to work part-time."

"I understand that adequate logistics are indispensable in victory, please command, Master!"

Joan of Arc nodded solemnly, agreeing with this.

"The Church is the most generous of all the work I have access to, and as long as we can successfully recruit qualified believers, it will be more than enough to provide for our consumption in the Holy Grail War."

"Convey the Lord's glow to the world?" Joan of Arc looked aware, "Leave it to me, although my leadership may not be excellent, I still have some confidence in this regard." ”

"Since you don't have an opinion, that's easy." Karen paused and said expressionlessly, "Well, please put this on first." ”

After speaking, the silver-haired girl took out a set of nun clothes and black suspenders as if she was playing a trick.

"Excuse me...... What is this outfit? ”

"The necessary preaching garment, in modern times, is the most eye-catching."

"If that's the case, the nun dress will be fine...... But this silk fabric is so shameful, and it will be covered anyway, so there is no problem if you don't wear it. ”

"Too naïve," Karren glanced at Joan of Arc with contempt, a determined glint in her demonic golden pupils. "A nun's dress without suspenders is not a qualified nun at all! This mystery, which is tightly covered, is the yearning and hope for people's faith. ”

"I feel Master, you have a deep misunderstanding about nuns, in short, I don't know how to wear them," hearing this, Joan of Arc shook her head helplessly, "I can also complete the task of earning money with just ordinary clothes." ”

"But that's just the end of it, right?"

Karlian tapped her finger to her cheek, revealing a distressed look.

"What does that mean?"

"Didn't I say that I want to take you to do something truly meaningful, to spread the glory of the Lord through a true saint, and at the same time earn basic living expenses for us, can't all the extra money be donated?"

Karene said with a smile.

"Ruler, you have also seen it, the people who were forced to leave in that battle, the buildings that were destroyed, and the people who may die later, faith can only soothe their hearts, to really help them, you still have to rely on real materials, although it may not be able to recover them all, but as a participant, I also want to do something."

"If you rely on the power of the Heroic Spirit, maybe you can call on everyone to help these people in need, don't you think? Obviously, you may also be one of the causes of the disaster. ”

"No, I ......"

Giving help to people in need, this is the true kindness that the Holy Maiden has always believed in, and suddenly she was stirred by such righteous and awe-inspiring words, and her heart was suddenly filled with guilt and self-blame.

If you just wear it inside and don't let others see it, this level of sacrifice can save the people......

In this mood, Joan of Arc couldn't help but hesitate when she looked at the pair of suspenders.

Hooked.

Seeing Joan of Arc's changed expression, Karen's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, just like she thought, Ruler is not only illiterate, but also because she still retains the simplicity of a country girl, she will unconsciously trust her own words when facing the unknown.

Obviously, there is no necessary connection between wearing this costume and soliciting believers, but it is just a habit that Karen has developed out of her own and Roland's preferences.

Unexpectedly, she really succeeded by mistake, and Karen was confident that as long as Joan of Arc took a step here, then when facing Roland, this dedication would also make her abandon those superfluous concerns, and everything would fall into place.

I really want to see it, the depraved expression of the Holy Maiden.

Karen smiled happily and uttered the final words.

"Ruler, you don't want to see those people displaced in the disaster, do you?"

——

In the workshop, Rin Tosaka, who was alone, took a deep breath and frowned.

Compared to the bizarre experience of walking through the shadows yesterday, what really worries her is the victory that is getting more and more distant, and her sister.

This Holy Grail War has been completely unusual, in Tosaka Rin's imagination, the Knight King with her as the master, coupled with the existence of Avalon, she can't guarantee whether she can win the final victory, but just entering the finals should be more than enough.

But I didn't expect this to be the result, whether it was Karna or Skaha, in a one-on-one situation, they all looked better than Saber, even if they didn't have to target themselves as the master, I am afraid they could win the final victory.

Rin Tosaka didn't want to complain about anything, and until now, she was very satisfied with Saber, and she didn't regret that she hadn't summoned Ishtar.

Roland doesn't care, he really can't beat that archer and lancer, Rin Tosaka thinks that at least half of the reason is because of the gap between the masters, and Saber, who integrates offense and defense, is already a perfect heroic spirit, which is completely a crime of non-war.

In such a cruel reality, Rin Tosaka also had to learn from his father and think about something more distant.

The reason why she came to participate in this Holy Grail War, in addition to being desperate, was to a large extent inherited her father's will, and to wash away the shame of the Tosaka family's defeat, which was her unavoidable responsibility as the head of the family.

But Sakura was different, the child didn't have to carry anything, she shouldn't have been involved in this brutal killing field.

Roland wouldn't be cruel to her, but would anyone else be like that? The rest of the riders didn't move at all, and Rin Tosaka couldn't help but worry at the thought of the possibility of being separated from her sister again.

"Sure enough...... Before starting the next battle, let's find out Sakura's traces first, let her leave the field and return to Fuyuki quickly, she will still summon the heroic spirit on the Argo, it should be Hercules, and the only remaining ranks are Berserker and Assassin, in this case, Saber should be fine. ”

Rin Tosaka stood up, clenched his fists, as if to cheer himself up, and whispered.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

And at the same time as her words were spoken, a laugh that was so innocent that it seemed to have a rich sweet taste sounded in her ears.

"It's really a touching sisterhood, and I am a little touched by the fact that I have a heart to this extent."

"Who is it?"

Rin Tosaka asked sharply, and as he spoke, he had already instinctively activated the spell in his hand, and he could still invade the depths of the workshop in the basement while Saber was in the room above, and no one could do this kind of thing except the servant.

But her body stopped acting on its own, and the idea of summoning Saber had just been generated in her brain, and the moment she didn't react, it was melted away, forgotten in the depths of her memory, knowing that it was extremely disobedient, but she just couldn't break free from it.

And the initiator of all this finally appeared in front of Rin Tosaka.

The silver hair was as clear as if it were transparent, with a charming purple luster in a small amount of light, and was as crystal clear as the moonlight.

Between a young girl and a young girl, on her immature petite body, she wears a luxurious purple dress as light and fluttering as a petal, embellished with gold ornaments.

The snow-white skin glows with sensational and beautiful cream luster under this delicate gauze coat.

Obviously, she looks just as immature as a blank sheet of paper, and she is not at the age of the world, but the girl in front of Rin Tosaka is full of the opposite of the sense of luxury and the temptation to make people want to throw away all desires.

Immature and mature, pure and bewitching.

The two completely different temperaments are completely blended together in her body, even with Rin Tosaka's will, when she looks at the blood-colored eyes, she almost falls into the lingering whirlpool of desire.

If it is an ordinary person, as long as she is watching, it will inevitably fall into irreparable love hell.

But compared to this, what really made Rin Tosaka almost lose her mind was the girl's almost identical appearance to the sister she knew.

"Hello, sister."

As if noticing Rin Tosaka's expression, the bewitching girl made a cordial call.

Sakura...... No, you can't be Sakura! Who are you! ”

"It's exactly the same, but it's so decisive, how did you judge it?"

Faced with Rin Tosaka's questioning, the girl chuckled lightly and stood in front of Rin Tosaka lightly, showing a happy smile.

"So, as a bonus, I'll introduce myself."

"I'm a servant summoned by your sister Kirizakura in this Holy Grail War, but I'm not a hero, I'm a goddess."

"—The goddess who wields the power of love."
