#246 - Curry Sticks

The evening was spent in discussions among a group of Fate fans.

Taiwan Novel Network→𝔱𝔴𝔨𝔞𝔫.𝔠𝔬𝔪

At exactly eight o'clock, Bi Yuxin put down her phone and looked at the TV in the living room.

At this moment, episode eight of FZ began airing on time.

The beginning of FZ episode nine was a grand melee of all the Servants.

Although the goal of these Servants was to obtain the Holy Grail, at least Rider, Artoria, and Lancer Diarmuid were immediately inclined to stop Gilles de Rais from transforming into a giant monster and wreaking havoc in the city center.

A distorted monster, dead humans, and Gilgamesh and Tokiomi Tohsaka sitting indifferently on a golden airship, watching everything unfold.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was still pretending to be a grandson, hoping that Gilgamesh would eliminate the monster and prevent the disaster from continuing.

But Gilgamesh looked disgusted.

This episode was a testament to the effects team's dedication to spending money.

However...

"Tokiomi Tohsaka summoned a daddy!" Bi Yuxin said amusedly.

Watching Tokiomi Tohsaka trying to beg Gilgamesh to eliminate the monster, only to be reprimanded by Gilgamesh who said he didn't want to dirty his Ea, Bi Yuxin almost burst out laughing.

Although she disliked Gilgamesh, she was even more annoyed by Tokiomi Tohsaka, this hypocrite, so seeing him suffer was a major highlight of the episode.

At the critical moment, human fighter jets appeared.

Then, these fighter pilots saw the giant airships summoned by Gilgamesh.

Next, the most mysterious Servant in the series, the masked armored man in the Berserker class, appeared and used his ability to assimilate a fighter jet, then controlled the assimilated fighter jet and launched an attack on Gilgamesh and his vehicle.

Bi Yuxin immediately perked up.

"Damn, that's awesome?"

The dogfight between the fighter jet controlled by Berserker and Gilgamesh's airship.

Spinning, sprinting, emergency braking, leaping...

One scene after another of special effects that were clearly made with a lot of money, eliminated all of Bi Yuxin's resentment towards this drama over the past seven weeks.

Although the plot had been relatively slow for the past seven weeks, and every week ended with a frustrating cliffhanger, being able to see this scene was worth it!

While Berserker and Gilgamesh were fighting, Tokiomi Tohsaka began a verbal battle with Kariya Matou.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka, I only have one question, why did you give your daughter Sakura to my father, Zouken Matou?" Kariya Matou asked, dragging his weak body.

"Is this what you should be concerned about right now?" Tokiomi Tohsaka asked, stunned.

"Answer me, Tokiomi!" Kariya Matou shouted angrily.

Bi Yuxin looked bewildered.

Although, but...

Kariya Matou was too typical, wasn't he?

Her own father didn't care about his daughter, but you, a simp, did?

Although your white moonlight is Tokiomi Tohsaka's wife, you can't really love his daughter as if she were your own, just because you love his wife, can you?

And here, the setting was supplemented a bit.

There were two children in the family with magical talent, but because only one person could inherit the magic crest, Tokiomi Tohsaka gave his daughter Sakura to the Matou family, hoping that Sakura could inherit the Matou family's magic crest.

Of course, here Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't know how disgusting the crest worms of the Matou family were, and how much Sakura suffered, thinking that she was just going through normal magic training. From a father's point of view, he believed that he had created a bright future for both of his daughters.

From Kariya Matou's point of view, Tokiomi Tohsaka was the culprit who destroyed all the happiness of the woman he loved.

Different ideas created an irreconcilable gap between Kariya Matou and Tokiomi Tohsaka.

The conflict in the plot was intensifying.

Of course, the war of money between Berserker and Gilgamesh in the sky was still continuing.

At the same time, the giant monster transformed from Gilles de Rais was still destroying and killing in the city.

Lancer and Saber's battle, the dance of fighter jets and airships in the sky, Rider wanted to kill Gilles de Rais, but his huge size made it difficult to kill him in a short time even if he summoned his countless soldiers.

And at the critical moment...

Kiritsugu Emiya found a way to break the situation.

The sword in Saber's hand was a powerful anti-fortress Noble Phantasm.

But her hand was injured in the previous battle with Diarmuid, so she couldn't exert the full power of the sword.

If Saber's hand wanted to heal, Diarmuid needed to destroy the cursed spear that had injured Saber before.

But Saber felt that it would defile the fair battle between the two, so she never mentioned it.

Lancer Diarmuid, however, broke his cursed spear with his own hands in order to take the overall situation into account.

Bi Yuxin took a deep breath when she saw this.

This is a true hero.

He has chivalry, he knows what to give up, and he is not pedantic.

His battle with Saber Artoria was important, but was it more important than killing the monster that was slaughtering the common people?

"I leave it to you, Knight King!"

Diarmuid said with a smile.

"I accept, Lancer."

The injury on Artoria's hand recovered the moment the spear was broken.

She raised the greatsword in her hand.

At this moment, the drama's BGM changed.

Zhuang Yuxin's fair and stern face, her shiny armor, her blue knight's uniform, and the invisible giant sword she held high.

Golden light radiated, and a huge power gathered.

Gilgamesh and Berserker, who were fighting in the sky, couldn't help but look in Artoria's direction.

Kiritsugu Emiya's coordinate guidance in the fog, Rider's frantic run on the lake...

The light gathered in Artoria's hand.

Bi Yuxin's heart was pounding.

Too handsome.

So handsome that tears welled up in her eyes.

"That greatsword shining with light is the tragic and sublime dream that all the warriors who died on the battlefield in the past, future, and present held in their hearts at the moment of their death. She is proud of this will and carries this belief through to the end. At this moment, the victorious king sings the true name of the miracle in her hand."

Beside her, Kiritsugu Emiya's wife, Irisviel, began to speak.

In the drama, the girl who closed her eyes to gather strength, beautiful, handsome, and chased by golden light, opened her eyes.

In her hand, she seemed to be holding light.

In her eyes, there was only the determination and belief in her future path.

The blows and ridicule of others could not affect her.

Gilgamesh and Rider did not agree with her path, thinking that the noble royal road she adhered to was just an illusion and did not exist at all. No one understood her, no one believed her, how could she go on relying only on ideals? Forcing herself to go on would only make her collapse.

But even if the road was difficult, she would not give up.

Because that's who she is.

"Excalibur."

Artoria shouted.

Bi Yuxin was stunned.

In the drama, golden light gathered and broke through the air, and a huge force tore through the night.

The budget was burning.

The enthusiasm in her heart was also burning.

She had never been in love before, but at this moment, watching King Arthur in the drama, she found her heart pounding.

She used to think that people who chased stars were idiots, but for the first time, she felt the feelings of those star chasers.

Before Gilles de Rais died, he was in tears. He felt the light of Joan of Arc, and then died in this light.

Rider and Gilgamesh looked solemnly at Artoria.
