Chapter 38
Chapter 38
The author has something to say: ◆It contains a lot of attention to the second design.
Emiya Shirou summoned Archer, with a caster in the system and a Rider outside the system.However, the seven knights are still not full, and the Holy Grail War is still in the preparation period.
It is also an important running-in period for magicians who obtain Command Seals in advance and summon Servants.
It's a pity that the King of Heroes is different from the King of Knights. Whether Archer's or Caster's, they both seriously lack the awareness that they should be familiar with the Master and study tactical coordination.
Like Archer, No. 30 minutes after responding to the summoning, the person has run away without a trace; the same is true for the Rider who is not in the establishment, leaving as soon as he said, fully displaying the willfulness of the king.It's just that Jill's walk was aimless, while Ozymandias went to the Okutama Mountains with a clear goal.
It belongs to the Ise San Group.
During the first Holy Grail War, the magician who summoned the Sun King was the patriarch of the Ise Trinity Clan.
As for Caster──Well, Gilgamesh, who manifested as a magician, did not leave. He opened all the red wine on the wine cabinet of the original owner of the building, and is currently enjoying the collection of others.
The king, who changed into casual clothes, put gold ornaments on his body and wrists, and became indistinguishable again, gently shook the goblet, and the wine in it swirled, but his gaze Already projected towards the ceiling, as if able to penetrate layers of building materials until it sees something of interest.
"...Knowing the ending in advance will lose a lot of fun. As the price for my king to give up my clairvoyance, you must bring me enough fun. Then──what will you do? Too ordinary means, which basically replace The mark that Alaya left on the guardian...you know it, Cu Chulainn."
Gilgamesh's pupils staring at the ceiling narrowed almost invisibly, he smiled, and drank the contents of his glass in one gulp.
Some people will resolutely bet heavily for another person, because the fetters and the lines of cause and effect have been entangled so deeply that they cannot find the end of the thread and cannot untie the endless knot.
Some people will shelter for the pursuit of fun, and occasionally stir up trouble when the mood comes, or reward the wonderful things they see-as long as the mood is pleasant enough.
Cu Chulainn is the former, Gilgamesh is the latter.
However, Guardians are not good at accepting other people's kindness, and often use all kinds of harsh words to reject it.This is the biggest problem that Cu Chulainn is currently facing in trying to deepen the bond.
So...the mountain does not turn and the road turns, but the road does not turn!Cu Chulainn turned decisively.With Emiya Shirou's scrutinizing eyes on the satyr, he borrowed the entire floor dedicated to summoning.
"Don't do strange things." Suspecting that he would only agree easily after being hinted at, Shirou raised a warning as the bottom line.
"Who has that time? I want to do serious business!"
However, 10 minutes later Rin learned of this and told Shirou, "He said he was serious? But I saw Ruler half-dragging Emiya to take the elevator and said he wanted to show him something nice."
"……nice one?"
Emiya Shirou also doesn't want to think nasty, the problem lies in the kind of saying that is like abducting a child... such a description makes it difficult for him not to have doubts about "good things".
It's just that I'm so tired, I can't stop it... Not long ago, I finished conceiving the dinner menu, and tried to explain it to the life assistant to buy it. Shirou found that the other party had no objections and didn't think the president had been handed over. Rin's admiration for how smoothly and naturally he didn't get stuck.
Even if he knew that it was a possibility in his future, asking Shirou to change his customary "Archer" to "Emiya" still made him feel awkward, and it was even more difficult than changing "Lancer" to "Ruler".
"You are Shirou, he is Emiya, the division is clear, and there is no mistake. Emiya also said to help him find out his identity. This is the name, spelled in English. His identity is only your brother, and his occupation is an international mercenary── I don’t need any other information. What do you think, Shirou?”
"... He has arranged everything himself, so he will do it. Well, although I have some opinions on being a younger brother..." But he was exhausted and didn't want to rebound.
Tohsaka Rin deeply sympathized with this.But she can only say "Thank you", because she is actually in favor of red and blue, and is willing to send blessings.
At this time, in the theoretical No.20 first-floor interior of this building that was being watched by Gilgamesh, Emiya Shiro and Tohsaka Rin, Emiya changed into a conceptual weapon at a loss, and then hugged Crossing his arms, he waited for Cu Chulainn to explain his inexplicable sequence of actions.
"Hey, Emiya, you like me, right? It's the truth, there's no room for doubt, right?"
The white-haired and brown-skinned Heroic Spirit raised an eyebrow with a strange expression.
"Did you hit your head? Was hit by the King of Heroes?"
"How is it possible! I was not beaten either!" He waved his hand vigorously, emphasizing.Cu Chulainn had expected that such an opening statement would bring about that kind of reaction; but he didn't like going around in circles, and most of the time it was not suitable to go around in circles when dealing with Emiya, otherwise there was a high chance that he would be stunned by the guardian first.
"Anyway, I'm confirming one very important thing. So I love you, and you love me too—this is the truth, there is no misunderstanding, right? Yes, or no."
The red eyes firmly grasped the line of sight from the steel-gray pupils, and Cu Chulainn was seriously asking for the answer.
"Ahh..."
Emiya always felt that something was wrong; but the persistence of the man in front of him to achieve his goal was amazing, and he was not overwhelmed, and he didn't want to learn at all.
Discussing a known fact is not a big deal.
"Yes." He replied in the affirmative.
Facing a suitor who even Heroic Seat tried his best to merge and live together, denying him is obviously of little significance and use, but may lead to unknown changes; and the guardian prefers to act in a planned way when conditions permit. Dislikes dealing with the hassle of being out of control and awareness.
"Okay. Let's meet the parents then!"
"what?"
"Meet the parents. Isn't there a habit in modern times? I have seen your adoptive father."
"...It turns out that your brain has finally been corrupted by stupidity. Cu Chulainn." Emiya was stunned for a moment, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Hey, that's an exaggerated conclusion. Fortunately, I have heard about it before. No matter what you say today, I will not change my mind."
Cu Chulainn issued a call, and the horse neighed immediately. Two horses, one gray and one black, pulled a hideous copper chariot covered with spikes and barbs, and galloped out of the sudden flames and glare. !The interior of the floor, which was originally only partly turned on so that it seemed dark, suddenly became bright as day!
Two giant horses, which are not quite enough to be described as tall horses, stepped on the flames, pulled the two-man chariot whose wheels were also burning like light wheels, circled around the ceiling, and then slowly slowed down and stopped beside Cu Chulainn. .
"Come here, long time no see chariot, long time no see old partner." The red pupils reflected the firelight, Cu Chulainn grinned, and then turned to greet his lover──"Come on, let me introduce you. The gray one It's Mocha, and the black one is Sangeliu, both of which are my good partners on the battlefield!"
"Mocha... is the king of horses?" Emiya had studied Celtic legends, so she was naturally impressed by this horse king who was equivalent to blocking Cu Chulainn's death.
Although at the end of the legend, the cursed three-shot spear that could only hit the king still found Cu Chulainn's head after the king of horses and the king of charioteers fell.
"Yes. You can touch it."
As he said that, Cu Chulainn simply grabbed Emiya's hand and put it on the horse's neck, avoiding those who approached unknowingly. He put his hand there for a few seconds, until Mocha only moved to express his closeness to him before he moved. Taking advantage of the situation, he stroked the horse's mane.
Of course, I said at the beginning that I would meet my parents today, and I will do it!How could touching the horse end here?
But his old partner is really a psychic assist!Look at someone who forgot to prevent him from playing tricks, was pulled twice, and then stepped on the chariot.
"You should know, my father is Luge, the god of light." Cu Chulainn pulled up the reins of the horse and drove the chariot, and introduced the chariot: "Hey, look at the burning wheels below, this is the symbol of father Flame light wheel, this chariot has the blessing of the God of Light, even Moka and Sangeliu have the ability to soar through the flames."
"If you want to summon Lao Tzu's chariot, you need to get Dad's approval. To get approval, of course you need to meet the parents. Here."
"It's enough for me to have projection magic."
Emiya didn't answer, but leaned back and squinted her eyes, and asked in a calm tone, "Your purpose is really just to meet your parents in a formality?"
Come, come, come!The standard beginning of the Guardian's refusal of good intentions──Cú Chulainn knows success or failure in one move!If he didn't take Emiya down today, it would not be so easy to succeed if he wanted to rely on the characteristics of the chariot to tie each other down in the future.
Cu Chulainn immediately pulled out the big boss of the Holy Grail War that he knew in advance, the existence that was dormant in the underground of Tokyo, which was neither alive nor dead, and used it as an example──
"To deal with this kind of person, you don't have enough mobility. Don't even look at your agility C."
"Maybe I won't have time to call after the fight! There must be at least a few seconds of vacancy at the earliest to summon the chariot."
"Anyway, I'm usually a Lancer when I'm summoned, and I've never been summoned in the mainland. The chariot has no chance to come in handy. Otherwise, you're just walking a horse? It's pitiful for Mocha and Sanger to stay in a daze all day."
……
Cu Chulainn said with a single brain, spending all his saliva in advance for the next year.Then he noticed that the success of the matter probably depends on the cuteness of the war horse, because the guy will show a different expression only when he mentions that the horse is always idle and useless, as if he is thinking about...
"Horse, get cute!" In desperation, Son of Light had no choice but to work hard to transmit such brain waves.
Mocha and Sanger did not lose face.
Of course, they can't receive the inexplicable brainwaves that have no formal communication channels at all, but they are already the bodies of heroic spirits, so it's not surprising that they are a little more miraculous, right?
They understand that the master intends to add another master to them, but unfortunately the means are not good enough and the situation is not good, so they decisively join the backup team.
"..."
Emiya hates herself for always being soft-hearted in subtle places, and now she has to grab the rein that Cu Chulainn handed over again, and listen to him explain the steps to meet the parents, plus a guarantee: "You can talk at ease, talk slowly, anyway, I can't see You can’t hear the content during the process.” Little did he know that Cu Chulainn still had a sentence that he didn’t say──
"It's not easy for me to get to where I am today... If you don't agree, daddy, you won't even listen to daddy in the future, so you decide to call me old man."
Of course, Cu Chulainn would not know, because he had a thought, and Luge, the God of Light who didn't know where in the world or in the long river of time, unfortunately sneezed a big one!Maybe Lucky E... is really contagious?
The time flow of the mind is not consistent with the outside world. Cu Chulainn feels that only two or three minutes have passed, right?The person who had been holding the rein and not moving moved slightly, and opened his eyes.
"Oh! How's it going? Dad is easy to talk to? It's done!"
Xu Shi was still in a complicated mood and needed to settle down. Hearing this excited question, Emiya didn't answer directly.However, he stretched out his hand to Cu Chulainn, and above the palm, a small three-dimensional light wheel appeared there, and the flames and changes in light and shadow were vivid, making Cu Chulainn's eyes bright.
As the Son of Light, how could he not know that it was a form of blessing bestowed by the God of Light?It is estimated that there is also an auxiliary function of summoning chariots.
"Ha, great job dad!" He praised in his heart.
Since then, the guardian has added an inherent skill—yes, it is a skill. Any magician who summons the heroic spirit Emiya will only see the skill "Blessing of the Light Wheel" and a series of question marks on the panel.That is to say, unless Emiya took the initiative to say so, no one would know that it represented a chariot Noble Phantasm.
...or rather, a wedding gift?
