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

Chapter 42

"This store is very interesting" can have many meanings.The decoration is interesting, the food is interesting, the program is interesting, and even the location is interesting──But Emiya didn't expect it to be, yes, this, kind, interesting!

The store selected by the Sun King has a dark green facade.

Entering the interior, the dim yellow light first brings a relaxing warmth; the interior decoration is mainly made of logs, and there is a large column in the shape of a wine barrel in the bar area near the door. The desktop, window sill, and wall are decorated everywhere. Green potted plants... and of course Irish-inspired decor.

The whole store is clearly trying to create a rural atmosphere close to nature.

And quite successful.

At least, as soon as Cu Chulainn stepped into the store, he glanced around and immediately understood that the decoration of this store was in the style of Ireland—even though it was not a special bar.

But as long as alcohol is served, Ireland's national hero says he doesn't mind at all!

A group of people followed the waiters through the long and narrow front area dominated by bar counters and small square tables, and stepped into the back area with a wide view.Basically, the round tables are the mainstay here, and the second floor with a ring-shaped belt is pulled out by a leapfrog design. The descriptions of nature, elegance, and country style are all suitable for this place.

However, no matter how you look at it, it does not meet the aesthetics and preferences of the Sun King of Bling.

After sitting down and ordering food, Ozymandias leaned down and reached out to press the barrel-shaped table post, and the red and blue heroic spirits suddenly realized!

Dare to make it look like a wine barrel in order to have the function of a small bookcase?So this is actually a leisure club for people to chat and read to pass the time?

As soon as such thoughts flashed through their minds, Emiya and Cu Chulainn saw it clearly.The stack of books that the Sun King took out, the cover on the top shows two men hugging each other sticky, and looking at the style of painting... The painter is not only following the route of girls' comics, but also has a special style. Gorgeous, dreamy type.

Ruler master and slave were silent together.

"We've never been so sticky, have we?" Cu Chulainn started to say in the mind connection.Questions are used, but the tone is full of negative affirmation.

"Don't worry, although dogs are clingy, they also know what to bark too much."

"Tsk, I told you not to call me a dog... But, I remember that Egypt was considered a time when masculinity flourished. Even if Ramesses II had a beloved princess, it would not conflict with his preferences in that respect── Bisexual! Don’t I like men now? Nah, Emiya?”

Steel-gray eyes swept over coldly, the guardian pulled the corners of his lips, and continued to respond with words: "What are you doing? Do you want me to agree with you?"

"If you're willing to talk, I'm willing to listen. It doesn't matter how many times you listen!"

"Dream. Dog."

……

Communicating secretly, Emiya was also observing the customers in the store who didn't pay much attention at first.When he looked around, Cu Chulainn, whose eyes followed the Master, had already blew his whistle first.

It turns out that this is a rotten fan publication exchange center that provides food and snacks.

I don't know how the owner of this store came up with the idea?However, the elegant environment and the self-discipline of the guests maintain a good casual atmosphere; even those who are not good at it can come in and have a cold drink to rest their legs.If you don't want to hear the communication of fan lovers at all, there is also a bar front area──This is where the front and rear partitions are used.

So now the green light is still displayed for the first three seconds, but the Sun King, which has been proven to be the original product, actually received some strange memory or obsession, and was influenced to some extent, so he chose such a "very interesting place" Shop" to meet Rider? Emiya tried to speculate reasonably.

He couldn't believe that the Sun King came here specially to read gay publications!The King of Heroes made a special trip out to play the arcade, and it is more likely that he will win a lot of prizes when he returns late.

──It can be seen that the image of Gilgamesh in Emiya's mind can no longer be saved.Even if he is currently wearing the skin of a virtuous king, it will still not be able to add points.

Emiya has long suspected that there will be various types of game consoles, cassettes, and CDs in his projection options, all of which are the research results that the ghosts want to temporarily appease the house king, or exchange his research results when the house king is in a good mood.Otherwise, I have always paid attention to practicality, and there is no need to waste time and trouble in deconstructing those things that idlers use for entertainment.

"Hello. Back." Cu Chulainn tapped the table with his index finger.

Behind?

The person whose thoughts wandered was drawn back by the knocking sound, he put his arms on the back of the chair, and naturally turned half of his body to look at the way he came from.

A boy in school uniform was walking towards them.

The boy has burgundy curly hair and yellow-green pupils. His appearance...you can use a sentence that both Red and Blue have met in the records. It comes from the mouth of Rider Medusa in Fuyuki Five Battles in other world lines, which deeply impressed them. : "──The appearance of Perseus? Probably like the successful Shinji."

Consider the kill and be killed relationship between Perseus and Medusa.Based on the above sentence, can it be understood that if regardless of temperament, the two people will look very similar?

The long-standing speculation has been confirmed today.Temperament aside, aren't Perseus and Shinji, the eldest son of Matou's family, just copies with differences in hair color, eye color, and skin color?oh!And Perseus, who is a great hero, is probably not as handsome as Matou Shinji.

Ozymandias finally looked up as Perseus, disguised as a student, approached.

"sit."

The Sun King, who learned quickly in the countryside, said that today he is the host, eating and drinking as he pleases.If you want to talk about things, the Lord will find the white hair and blue hair next to you, and all the crimes of disturbing the pharaoh's reading!

"──Ozymandias, do you want to send back a record of how hot your eyes are to the main body?" Emiya and Cu Chulainn, who had defaulted to this, almost overlapped in their thoughts at this moment.

If Perseus hadn't been in that mood, he might not have been able to hold back his rants.

No wonder the clerk asked a few strange questions when he first entered the door, and specially reminded him that the front area was more suitable for him.Dare to feel that the painting styles of the front area and the back area are not consistent...

"Are you alone?"

"He's gone. What's wrong with not being able to make a wish?"

At any rate, he still noticed that in public places, even though Cu Chulainn had engraved Rune to reduce the presence of their table, Perseus still avoided keywords.

In fact, if Ruler hadn't learned from the Sun King that the Holy Grail War had historical problems, Ruler had already manifested and found a Master. Rider felt that he probably wouldn't go to the appointment honestly.

"Literally," Emiya replied.

He really didn't expect Rider's master to survive even one night... But thinking about that person in the record provided by the Sun King, he was in a bedridden state. It has been eight years. Not surprising... In other words, Rider has completely cut off the legal source of mana supply.

The Guardian cares about the last word.

If the Servant who has no one to supply magic power doesn't want to disappear, there are only two choices: re-contracting the master or using the life force of a living person for surgery; since Rider chooses to accept the master's dying gift, the flesh and blood body obtained in exchange for the three command spells is definitely not Will take the initiative to seek death.Then, he must need a new source of magic power from either one person or many people.

But now, Perseus wants to hear what the magician said──

"According to the records, the church originally wanted to use the Holy Grail to summon higher-level beings. Unfortunately, because of the girl who connected to the root, the Master of Saber existed in the Holy Grail War eight years ago, and things changed later."

Emiya pointed out the key point in the first sentence of breaking the question.

"Today's Holy Grail in Tokyo is already a breeding ground for "beasts". Beasts... Beast should be considered to be born before the end of the last Holy Grail War. Now, eight years later, the Great Holy Grail is fulfilling its original function. , to provide Beast with the second development and stabilize his form. The Holy Grail itself also treats Beast as a servant participating in the war."

"The power of the Holy Grail was not accumulated for making a wish from the beginning."

While speaking, Emiya quietly observed the change of Perseus' expression.

This one of the few Greek heroes without an unhappy ending is too sentimental.In the records, in order to make a wish to the Holy Grail to revive his master, Perseus can be said to do everything possible, even plundering life from ordinary people and transforming it into magic power, which is not allowed by the guardian, he did nothing. stress free.

A Servant like this can be swayed or even distorted by emotions, of course Emiya must guard against it.He even made an agreement with Cu Chulainn that as long as he felt bad, he would rather kill the wrong than let it go!

The living are gone when they are gone, but it is not easy for the dead to die again.Unstable factors should return to the Seat of Heroes as soon as possible, which is good for everyone.

"...Then once the beast doesn't exist, can I make a wish?" Perseus asked back after bowing his head for a while.

"Which one of you touched you a lot?"

"Of course. I'm glad to be his friend." Speaking of the dead Master, the Greek hero who smiled, but even his smile seemed unreal, seemed a lot more real.

"He...he doesn't hate the world, even though he suffers a lot...his body is very bad when he calls me. Not only is he intubated all over his body, but he often suffers so much pain that he can't sleep..." Thinking, Saying that, Rider softened his expression, and began to chatter unconsciously.

I couldn't hear anything, but the clerk who didn't think it was unusual delivered food and drinks during the period.

The food was brought up, and Ozymandias' books were put down.So it became three people listening to Perseus, who was obviously a little too depressed.

"The first one to be summoned was probably Rider. He was three days earlier than Archer." Cu Chulainn started to read, "And he can speak better than you! He has memorized every day's experience, right? Talk to him My little Master resonates very well. This guy!"

"So it's enough for Servant to be a good tool. It's easy to complicate things and cause trouble for yourself and others if you invest in feelings even if you don't exist for long."

"Hey, is it really good to make such a brilliant and cold speech? I am your Servant now."

"You? Of course you are not a tool. A dog can't even figure out that it is a dog... Your memory and discrimination seem to have deteriorated together."

The heart was mocking Cu Chulainn, Emiya was still listening to Rider's words seriously on the surface, and soon he was touched by a sentence──

"Obviously I can only lie in a hospital bed for the rest of my life. But that child has always been peaceful, like a saint. His greatest wish is that everyone can be happy!"

Perseus's hand on his knee slowly tightened into a fist.

"He selflessly hopes that everyone can be happy, why is he himself tortured... so young, he has to leave this world forever? I just want to revive him, and want him to be happy too!" His tone of voice Unconsciously raised high.However, it still did not attract the attention of shop assistants and customers coming and going around.

But Perseus himself took the initiative to shut up.

Because the white-haired and brown-skinned magician sitting opposite him had a bad expression, as if... When he said "I hope everyone can be happy", his complexion darkened instantly, and then his whole face became very stiff.Did he say something wrong?He just said the wish of his recognized friend, Ise Sanxingji!

Perseus was a little stunned, but Cu Chulainn was not stunned, and immediately said: "It's none of your business. Eat." Then he moved the chair close to Emiya, and leaned his head directly to ask: "Hello, Master? How about you drink some wine and relax?" ?”

"Need not."

Taking a deep breath and shaking her head slightly, Emiya seems to have adjusted herself.He didn't speak immediately, but just like Cu Chulainn's "eat" command, he decided to get rid of the hot food first.

Ozymandias looked at both sides, and suddenly felt that this should be a repertoire that Caster's King of Heroes would like.But he himself is not interested in paying too much attention to it. Everyone has a different definition of happiness, and the almighty Pharaoh dare not say that it can be shared equally with everyone.How does Fan Gu do it?

Wait a minute... Sure enough, I should continue reading.
