[Fate][Gun Bow] Red and Blue Holy Grail War

Chapter 72

The author has something to say: ◆Occasions on the same stage: Emiya→black tea; Emiya→black tea.

◇ Two sets of attention.

◆Adopt TV shadow bow.

Compared with the traditional summoning ceremony of the Holy Grail War, Chaldea's summoning system has advantages and disadvantages.Heroic spirits who respond to the call from Chaldea are definitely not in their prime when they first appear in the world, and need to be strengthened by ascension again and again; the advantage is that this kind of reinforcement can help the Servant get closer to the body level and play a better role in the end. Stronger than the power of traditional summoning rituals!

Therefore, if you want to borrow Arthur, the knight king summoned again by Chaldea, and form a team to participate in the world mission of the next world line, you must first "raise him"──

"But there are not enough materials for the second coming! The dragon's reverse scale and dragon teeth..." Fujimaru said helplessly.It is said that these two materials seem to be close to a gap, no matter how many targets are killed, no qualified materials can be extracted.

Even if he hastily allocated part of the spirit base materials reserved for other servants to fill Arthur's vacancy first, the things produced by the two dragons were still not enough.

You can't find a Servant with a dragon's veins and just kill him, can you?Like... Siegfried?

"──Master, please let me fight dragons every day." Born in Germany, the dragon slaying hero sung by the Nibelungen song, once had a very keen sense in this regard and sincerely asked.

The Fujimaru boy who is a Master but still has a conscience, after all, he didn’t attack his own servants—even though the monitoring system of Chaldea detected a dragon-like phantom beast, which came to the Fuyuki Singularity in 2004 AD, which should not have appeared ; Through Caster's mediation, it is not unrelated for Emiya and Cu Chulainn to agree to go with the team.

A group of people are now in the preparation room, the master Fujimaru Tachika and the sub-servant Mash have already taken their positions in the basket.

"──The anti-summoning system is activated, and the transformation of spirit particles begins."

"──Spirit transfer is about to start, the countdown is three, two, one..."

……

Spatial displacement.

After the fire, even after the foundation was laid, the old appearance could not be restored. Even if the daytime sky was still shrouded in a layer of dust, the lifeless Fuyuki City was reflected in the eyes of the people involved in the transfer.

Here is a rooftop.

The two heroic spirits, Caster, Fujimaru, and Mash are quite familiar with the abandoned building where soot and gravel can be seen everywhere on the ground, and the walls are covered with cracks.

The first two are due to the Fifth Holy Grail War that took place in Fuyuki countless times in countless world lines. This is often the pre-dialogue area for the first battle where the two sides contact and test; the last three are naturally because of the first The novice Master and Servant who performed human restoration for the first time formally reached a cooperation consensus with Caster here.

This is Hokuhara Gakuen, located in Fuyuki Miyama Town.

The first base set up to assist in the restoration of Fuyuki's singularity was in the academy, so setting up a camp here again is naturally easy.

"Then, Mash and Avenger and I will stay at the base and patrol the vicinity of the academy. I will leave it to you all for further places." Fujimaru boy was straightforward.

He is dull but not stupid, what does Caster want, what is he going to do?In fact, he could more or less guess it, and Caster knew it too, but they tacitly understood it.After all, it was Caster who guided him the way forward when he was most confused at the beginning. Now that Caster has something he wants to do, it is not an exaggeration for him to give him equal trust.

……All right.Maybe Avenger... real name Edmund.Dantès, who claims to be the Count of Monte Cristo, denies the name "Edmond", and the cave king has some opinions.

However, the Master's opinion is more important than his own opinion, so this small problem was quickly settled by the Earl's "accomplice" who agreed to end the Singularity Prison Tower with him—Fujimaru Tachika.

Emiya, Cu Chulainn, Caster, Berserker, and Emiya Alter, adopted the grouping method of two, one, two, and split up after leaving Hokuhara Academy.

The group of Emiya and Cu Chulainn went directly to the direction of Xindu.They took the empty road and jumped on the top of various buildings. Their blatant behavior seemed to lure snakes out of their holes; the red heroic spirit also took advantage of the rush, and played back the record of the conversation with Caster in his mind──

"──I think Archer... Well, I'll call it 'Shadow Bow'. To avoid confusion." Caster started with this sentence, and began to tell the basis of his judgment: "I think Shadow Bow is still there. Every time When I went to Fuyuki’s singularity to collect materials, I could feel his magical breath every time! Although it was very faint... But on the street, inside the building... many places have been stained, it is clearly a trace of activity."

When he was speaking, Caster's eyes were actually a little hollow, and his facial muscles were a little tense, as if he was stuck in a not-so-good memory.Obviously, he was sorting out the known clues while talking to prevent any omissions.

"In the same situation, he clearly knows that I am active in Fuyuki, and I have noticed the secret peeping feeling once or twice. But we have never encountered it once, and Shadow Bow is hiding from me on purpose."

Caster held out a finger, emphasizing the number "one".

"So you pulled me, and you pulled Alter..." Emiya lowered her eyes, crossed her arms and thought for a while, before asking: "Caster, why do you think I will help you? You said it yourself, he was polluted by black mud The shadow follower who came out. From the standpoint of the guardian, that is the existence that I should destroy.”

"You even put up with Alter." Caster seemed to hear some unexpected and shouldn't have questions, his red eyes widened and he answered in seconds.

"That's different."

Emiya didn't look at him, her head turned directly to the other side of the corridor.

Cu Chulainn in a blue tights with silver shoulder armor and earrings is clasping the back of his head with both hands, dangling there boredly; the side is leaning against the wall, and it seems that one is in a daze and the other is sleeping. It is a concept armed with a sea beast. The mad king with the exoskeleton as the main body, and Emiya, who has been turned into a long-sleeved vest with black background and gold pattern, with more exposed upper body armor after Alter.

──I am willing to acquiesce in the existence of Emiya Alter, definitely not like his standard spirit Archer, who thinks the gun is very handsome!That's not right...Spirit splitting will not be for such a superficial reason...Although the two guns are really handsome!

The point is that Alter's records are ultimately stored by the ontology.But not necessarily the shadow follower!The experiences of shadow followers are rarely turned into records and regressions.

Of course, he and Emiya Alter are now special cases.

Emiya Alter has been separated by the Alaya Consciousness Contract and has become another guardian who is more in line with the world's wishes. Emiya doesn't even know if that counts as hell?Or to put it another way, what kind of situation can be in line with the already fragmented Emiya... the hell in his mind?

Closer to home.

Caster's Cu Chulainn is also Cu Chulainn, and Emiya's reaction did not exceed expectations.He just needs to apply the reason he used to convince Archer after he was ready!

"Archer said he had received incomplete records of the Holy Grail War that took place at the Fuyuki Singularity. Don't you?"

"have."

Emiya wouldn't lie in a place like this.Before intervening in the world line of the Holy Grail War in Tokyo, Zero asked them to familiarize themselves with the relevant records of Chaldea, his ghost... the current Shadow Bow──it doesn't matter which world line!In short, there is indeed a record of the return of this ghost who finally became a shadow follower.

"Caster was originally Solomon. After Fuyuki City became a singularity, you took...replaced...?" The eyebrows were unconsciously drawn together, and Emiya remembered the incomplete records sent back. There were discrepancies in the combatants .

"Oh, it's very clear. Now, don't worry about the replacement, right? If you want to be serious, it involves a causal relationship between the two world lines. It will take a long time to fully understand and explain it to you. I'm really not in the mood to waste my saliva here." Caster spread his hands and spoke bluntly.

He also didn't mind that he was facing the back of Emiya's head, and continued on his own: "That's good! So now let's get to the point! There are very few followers who can send back the records, so I don't need to give an example! On the other hand, It also means that the Shadow Bow has not been completely eroded and assimilated—now it can stop the deterioration and try to pull it back. If it continues to be delayed, even if there are speculations about why he can continue to exist, I am not sure to pull it.”

At this point, the druid with the light blue shawl moved around half a circle, blocking Emiya's vision from the distance with the face of the Prince of Light.At the same time, staring into the depths of the guardian's steel-gray pupils, he asked emphatically, "Wouldn't it be better to have more strength to protect such a major event?"

Caster pressed forward with every step. Emiya could feel the oppressive atmosphere.

The hero Cu Chulainn has always been heroic, impatient, and loyal!But when necessary, it is not impossible for him to suppress his own personality traits to achieve certain goals.

Appearing in the world as the sage of the forest, wouldn't the intelligence succeed in overwhelming the wildness by a large margin?But now it seems that the hidden wild factor is about to rise based on some stimulation... Emiya doesn't want to taste this explosion at all.And he had to admit that Caster had convinced him a little.

"...Business first. Solve the dragon's problem first, and then your problem."

"Oh!"

"Let's talk ugly. If his situation is not ideal, your method will not convince me... Even if you stop me, I will not show mercy."

Emiya bypasses Caster.The words at the end were just as they passed by, accompanied by the former's cool breath, they lightly slipped into Caster's ears.

Emiya made a statement as a guardian.

──He is serious!

Back to the present, back to the Fuyuki Singularity where dragons haunt——Emiya's memories ended, and he jumped off the tall building. The middle section of the bridge where a few abandoned cars were parked randomly.

Cu Chulainn was beside him, he didn't speak, and he didn't ask why he stopped here?

The red-eyed demigod glances sideways.

Because the answer lies on the other side of the bridge.

On the left cheek and left forearm, a man with vein-like blood lines spreading on his brown skin stood there quietly.He was wearing a metallic black vest that looked the same as Emiya's holy skeletal cloth jacket, a severely damaged scarf around his waist, and heavy black combat boots covered with bloody patterns on his left cheek and arm. .

A black bow, exactly the same as Emiya's customary alloy bow, was being held in his hand.

There was no sword or arrow in the other hand, which was probably his only temporary lack of hostility.

──It is the Shadow Bow.

He seemed to be a dedicated actor who had received the script, and he showed up at the right time.
