best villain

The same as before, a new day has arrived, and the sunlight falling through the window glass makes Sajo Ayaka wake up leisurely. . She lazily opened her eyes.Putting on his glasses with a depressed face, he got up and got out of bed, and involuntarily glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall.Every day is marked on the calendar.Today, however, an x ​​sign is painted, implying ominousness and death.

But it doesn't matter, the success rate of her black magic divination is unbelievably low, and it's the same today.Just a glance out of sheer habit, but everything will be as usual.

Sajo Ayaka came to the table and sat down, eating alone.There were three empty chairs around the table, which belonged to my sister and my parents...it used to bring back bad memories at first, but now I'm used to it.

"An ordinary day has begun again."

The city is still peaceful today, and Sajo Ayaka's life is also very stable.

This has become an 'ordinary day' for her.This is an ordinary life unimaginable in the past when my father was alive.If asked if she is happy, she will undoubtedly answer that I am happy.

After breakfast, Sajo Ayaka left the house and went to the garden.

The gardens are filled with the catalysts of black magic - the medicinal herb psychic, the pigeons that are kept in abundance as sacrifices, and the crows that serve as servants.

Sajo Ayaka was indifferently performing magic rituals at an old theater.

She has no goals or ideals of her own.When her father was still alive, the ritual that Sajo Ayaka could not disobey her father has become a habit.

Sajo Ayaka easily took out a pigeon raised in the garden.The pigeon looked at Sajo Ayaka with round eyes while cooing.

Sajo Ayaka took a breath and swung the kitchen knife.The pigeon seemed to be aware of the danger, and struggled hard, but the hand holding it was far beyond the range it could break free. If it had human visual senses, it would only see the blade zooming in front of its eyes.. .

After the routine ritual training was over, Ayaka Sajo walked on the way to school alone, her expression was as melancholy as if she hadn't slept well at night, but in fact, she had always been like this.

Negativity, cowardice, narrow-sightedness, and bravado are the worst characters to have.

This is her self-assessment.

And most importantly——

On the ring finger of her left hand, there was a shallow wound. Although it had healed, traces of bandages could still be seen.

Rewinds time to minutes ago.

In the garden, Sajo Ayaka swung down the kitchen knife, but it barely stopped on the pigeon's neck, and the pigeon tilted its head to look at her.

In fact, because of the psychological trauma in the past, she was still unable to kill living creatures.

Therefore, in terms of food, she can only use simple, hands-on ingredients for cooking.

Because of this, there are more and more pigeons in her garden.

Sajo Ayaka's sigh is not uncommon.

"Innocent as always, with an extremely ordinary personality. This morning, I also failed to follow my father's orders, but reluctantly used my own blood as a substitute to complete the ceremony. Having said that, I didn't like things like magic in the first place. "

A day of school time passed in a blink of an eye, and a few friends approached her after school, probably wanting to ask her to go play together, but Sajo Ayaka refused in a few words.

"Sorry, because I have something to do today, I'm sorry."

"Hey, Sha Tiao, I remember you didn't join the club?"

"I'm going to visit the grave. Because today is the death day of my father and sister."

Impeccable grounds.

After leaving school, Sajo Ayaka took the tram to the tombstones near the church in Fuyuki, a neighboring city.It is said that a group of foreigners immigrated more than 100 years ago, and they were all buried here, but her father died in an incident.

Sajo Ayaka stood in front of her father's grave, with anger hidden in her seemingly cold expression.

She placed flowers in front of her father's tomb, and when she was about to turn around and leave, she found a strange priest standing there.

"Hello, Miss Satiao."

Actually calling her surname directly, Sajo Ayaka asked unceremoniously: "Who are you? I don't remember knowing a local priest."

"I don't think you will know me. However, I hope you can let go of your hostility, because if you are also a participant, we must have dealt with each other a lot. Anyway, the Satiao family used to be powerful competitors."

Hearing this, Sajo Ayaka's lips moved, but she couldn't make any sound, her face was as pale as paper.

After a pause, Kotomine Kirei continued:

"The matter of your father is regrettable. He obviously had the opportunity to participate in the last Holy Grail War, but he died at the hands of an unknown magician. The same is true for your sister. She tried to find the murderer, but in the end... "

"Sorry, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Sajo Ayaka interrupted, turned around and just took a step——

"Just run away in a hurry? It's not like your family's style."

Hearing these words, as if pressing the button to stop time, Sajo Ayaka suddenly became motionless.

To this, Kotomine Kirei just smiled and did not move.

"Why don't you make preparations? It's been almost ten years since today. The war is finally about to start again. Others, everyone, are making final preparations.

Sajo Ayaka took a deep breath, without turning her head, she seemed to suppress her anger and said:

"Please leave me alone, these have nothing to do with me, and I have no interest in them."

"This is really sad. Because, as long as you live, you can't be isolated from the world. If you want to make a clean break, you have to die." Kotomine Kirei said, to some extent, an extremely dangerous statement.

The inexplicable chill instantly covered her whole body, Sajo Ayaka turned around suddenly, and stared at him coldly:

"I don't want to have anything to do with the Holy Grail, do you understand?"

After all, he left quickly as if he didn't want to stay here for a second.

Kotomine Kirei gave advice while looking at her back.

"Even so, people with talents are destined not to be abandoned by fate. For it, this must be a good game. How slim is the possibility of hiding until the end? Let me witness it with my own eyes. "

Sajo Ayaka ran away as if fleeing.

In the empty cemeteries, Kotomine Kirei muttered to himself:

"Because there is that guy. Even if you are abandoned by fate, he will not let you fend for yourself. After all, valuable things are always invaluable."

The sun sets, like a night that devours everything.Sajo Ayaka returned home as if she had run away. This was a house purchased by Sajo's family in Fuyuki City. It was originally used as a base, but now it is only one of the real properties under her name.

"It's nothing...it's nothing to do with me!"

Although she seemed calm, she actually fell into a semi-crazed state after Kotomine Kirei appeared on the stage.

This is not the first time Sajo Ayaka has come here.For her, places other than her own home are full of dangers, so she often carries some magic props to protect herself, and even specially collects a batch of spares and puts them in a corner of this room.

Locking the door behind her back, Sajo Ayaka turned off the light and hid in the invisibility cloak, squatting in the corner of the room shivering.

His bloodless lips trembled. .

"How could I be in the same boat! Besides, for me—"

Sajo Ayaka was wrapped in an invisibility cloak, repeating nonsense like a frightened child.

"For me, that kind of thing is absolutely impossible! I can't throw myself into the battlefield like my father and sister."

I don't know how long it has passed, Sajo Ayaka's consciousness returned to reality, and she stared blankly at the clock.

Before I knew it, it was past eleven o'clock in the night.Soon a new day will come.

I should go to bed early, because I have to catch the tram to school tomorrow.As if about to swallow the priest's ominous words, Sajo Ayaka let out a small whine in her throat.

Suddenly, the grandfather clock in the living room pointed to zero.

The clock made a "dong" and "dong" sound.

Although Sajo Ayaka shivered from fright, the surroundings were silent.

"That's right... Nothing should happen now. My father is dead, my sister is also dead, and everything is over."

Just as Sajo Ayaka breathed a sigh of relief, she heard a dog barking far away from the living room.

"This voice?" (To be continued.)
