Lost Narrative Poetry

As the saying goes, you can’t see the mountains when you are in the mountains.

The servants and masters in Fuyuki City are basically in the same situation. Because they are in this city, they can't find any special signs.

Just like no matter how violent and violent the storm is, the center of the "eye of the storm" is always relatively calm——

This is the current situation in Fuyuki City. To outsiders, it looks like a huge magical storm that has quietly appeared. Like lead-heavy clouds, it has enveloped Fuyuki City and the entire nearby land, isolating it to another world. It's as if he's gone into a demonic state.

However, the people who were in Fuyuki City from the beginning were not directly affected at all and were at the center of the "eye of the storm" from the beginning, so they were not able to notice it.

Although they felt that the density of magic power in the air seemed to be higher, they didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, logically speaking, this is a normal phenomenon... First of all, the ground in Fuyuki City originally contains extremely huge magic power. Otherwise, it would not be chosen by the Gosan Family to become the main ritual venue for the Holy Grail War.

Then there is the existence of the Great Holy Grail. Normal operation will save a huge amount of magic power for sixty years to support the arrival of more than seven servants and start the Holy Grail War... and the current situation is exactly like this, so the density of magic power in Fuyuki City is higher than Normally it is higher, which is understandable.

In addition, there are reasons for the activities of servants. Each of these guys are promoted to the elven realm as humans. The essence of each person is a high-concentration magic aggregation, with powerful magic power that far exceeds the standard. reaction. It's fine during normal activities, but if they fight each other...

There will definitely be a lot of magic power escaping into the air. This is an inevitable problem.

Unfortunately, such a situation has already occurred.

For example, on the first night when the Holy Grail War started, there was already a fight. Unfortunately, it was so sudden that no one else knew what was going on. There was no time to check it out at the time. It was just about "Enzo" The news of "Shan Gas Explosion" appeared in the newspapers the next day.

Basically, this is the first gas explosion in Fuyuki City this year, the first shot of the Holy Grail War, but it will definitely not be the last gas explosion.

And since ten years have passed since the Fourth Holy Grail War, many citizens have long forgotten what happened back then, and naturally they can't say how neurotic they are about such disasters and accidents now. , I didn’t feel anything when I saw the news.

All in all, people in Fuyuki City are still not aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Similarly, all kinds of people who are gathering in this city from all over the world and are moved by the news have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

It was obviously a trap that was completely undisguised, but people kept coming one after another... Maybe it was because it was too direct and obvious, so they didn't think it was a huge and terrifying trap?

Or do you have confidence in yourself or others, thinking that you can take advantage of the chaotic situation to fish in troubled waters?

…

…

Time flies by.

The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow slants over the earth, dragging out the shadows of buildings and pedestrians.

The beautiful girl with outstanding appearance was walking on the road facing the sunset with her schoolbag in both hands. Her long and beautiful purple hair was swinging back and forth freely behind her. She attracted the admiring and astonishing gazes of countless people for a time. It was amazing to see. entranced.

However, the girl has obviously been used to this situation for a long time. She does not look sideways or say anything, and her steps have no intention of stopping at all. Although her steps look light, there is obviously a hint of urgency in them, as if she is trying to catch the last train. .

And the girl's face looked a little depressed...

In the same ten years, under the words and deeds of the Goddess of Witches, a girl named Sakura Matou, coupled with her own hard work, the distance between her and her sister was unimaginably huge. After summoning the servant, I didn't even feel anything at all.

She was just full of joy and went to school early the next morning, thinking that the man would definitely come to see her. Although it might be because he was a follower of Tohsaka-senpai, the fact that he came with her was more disturbing. People care.

But... it didn't.

Hate! It’s really annoying!

I was full of joy and expected to see that person today, but it didn't happen... That's fine, but why didn't even Tohsaka-senpai come to school today? What on earth were the two of them doing at home today...

worried! Don't worry no matter what! The more she thought about it, the more she felt a sense of crisis, especially when her sister summoned someone, which made her very dissatisfied.

Why not yourself? ! Obviously this kind of thing has always been on your mind, right? Tohsaka-senpai, she doesn’t even know anything...

"Master, do you really want to go to your sister now?" At this time, a whispering voice sounded in the air next to Sakura. Rider, who was following her in spirit form, was a little worried, "No matter what you and her are doing now, How's the relationship going... The other party is always the magician participating in the battle this time."

"It's no problem, Rider, don't worry! And the teacher didn't object, right?" Sakura came back from her random thoughts, then calmed down her unhappy expression, said with a smile, and said softly He brushed the hair beside his ear.

There is no need to worry about this kind of problem.

Even Tohsaka-senpai will not be her enemy. This is a confirmed fact, because she is her sister... Although there is still a gap after all, so she deliberately keeps a distance, but Sakura does not resent herself. Sister, I can feel Tohsaka Rin's concern for her over the years.

The red headband on her head was given to her by Tohsaka Rin when she was young. It was precisely because of Sakura's feelings for her sister that she kept wearing it.

"I don't know much about your relationship, but you are my Master. I have to ensure your safety first..." Rider, who was in an invisible state in the eyes of ordinary people, sighed softly, but he was already slightly wrinkled. He raised his eyebrows.

Medea, the ancient witch, did not say anything, and the swordsman girl who suddenly visited last night and was so powerful that she easily defeated Saber seemed to know each other. Although she did not deliberately conceal many of the things she said, Rider did not. I can't understand it and feel confused.

But because of this, Rider was not affected and was able to consider the problem more objectively. She felt that no matter what she said, it was fine. The other party was also a competitor in this Holy Grail War. Even though she was once her master's sister, it was said that the family had separated ten years ago.

She didn't understand the relationship between the sisters and their complicated past experiences, so she felt that she shouldn't be so careless and it was better to be vigilant.

"Don't Rider have the confidence to protect me?" Sakura didn't explain anything, she just asked softly with a smile, then turned to look in the direction ahead and changed her approach, "And isn't there Saber?"

Medusa is not the only one following and protecting Sakura, there is also Diarmuid, who appears in the sword class this time and focuses more on the mythical side. It's just that the latter is following in secret, keeping a certain distance... Accurately Said that this arrangement somewhat resembles fishing law enforcement——

If there are people who really don’t know how to live and die, and think that if Sakura can eat it because she only has Medusa as a servant next to her, then they can learn what it means to be attacked by two first-class servants together, like a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind. Unfortunately, he died suddenly on the spot.

This is because Medea does not come out on her own and has been staying in the position of Ryudouji Temple. She does not need the protection of the servants, so it is better to send Diarmuid out... The original Sasaki Kojiro was bound to the mountain gate. There is no way to leave the vicinity of the mountain gate, so it is used to guard the gate.

But Diarmuid is still a normal servant, and Medea has not yet used the "Illegal Summoning" card that Caster used in the Holy Grail War, so if the former is allowed to defend Ryudou Temple from the beginning, , it would be too wasteful.

So under normal circumstances, Sakura's current cards would not allow her to sweep all the way, but they would definitely be enough to protect herself in the Holy Grail War.

"Of course we have this!"

Having mentioned this, Rider immediately became solemn and said seriously.

Looking at it from another angle, it is just like going directly to confirm the situation of the opposite group. Anyway, this is a problem that needs to be faced sooner or later. If the other party really has bad intentions, then she is confident that she can handle it.

If nothing else works, with the power of her and Saber, it should be possible to protect her Master Zhou Zhou.

Wouldn’t that be enough? Sakura nodded slightly, wanting to say something else.

But at this moment——

"Sakura? Why are you here...wait a minute."

Hearing the call from behind, the purple-haired girl was slightly startled. When she turned around, she saw a girl like herself, wearing the uniform of Suiqunhara Academy, walking on the road behind her, waving to her. , while quickly catching up.

She looks to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful appearance, shoulder-length and refreshing short hair, which makes her look heroic. Her temperament and appearance are particularly attractive.

"Meizhu-senpai? What are you..." Sakura stopped, a little surprised.

The visitor is Ayako Mizuchi, a senior in Class 2A and the head general and director of the Kyudo club in the academy. She is like a big sister that everyone relies on. She has always taken care of Sakura and often gives her help and advice... At the same time She is also Tohsaka Rin's best friend.

Seriously speaking, the reason why these two became friends was because of Sakura. Sakura didn't like other sports, so she only participated in the Kyudo Club. Rin Tosaka had always cared about her sister, so naturally she often watched the Kyudo Club from a distance when she had nothing to do.

After going back and forth like this, they became very good friends with the commander Ayako, and Mizusu Ayako also learned some things about the two sisters.

——Of course, just some superficial things,

"Are you going to take a look at Tohsaka?" Mizu Ayako had already caught up.

"Yes, yes, Meizu-senpai, are you also..." Sakura had vaguely understood, her expression was slightly stiff, and she asked softly.

"I'm just about to go see her, let's go together..." Mizu Ayako stood in front of her and said in a frank tone, "It's really a headache. Although I also know that Tohsaka can't get up in the morning, but At most, she would be late for school, but I didn’t expect that she would just stop coming today..."

"Moreover, I didn't even make a call, and I didn't see anyone asking for leave. I was really worried, so I planned to go take a look after school."

"..."

"..."

Guo, is it really because of this? This is a bit difficult to handle.

"This, this, Mizu-senpai, I think Tohsaka-senpai just wanted to make a phone call, but she didn't do it right away, and then she simply forgot about it. She is not someone who often misses the mark. Well, don’t worry too much..."

Sakura said softly, feeling a little headache, and didn't know how to tactfully persuade Ayako Mizu to give up such an idea.

Although the starting point is good, considering that the Holy Grail War has already begun, what if she goes directly there and happens to encounter something that she shouldn't know... Although she deliberately maintains a certain distance from Tohsaka Rin, But Sakura, like her sister, had a tacit understanding and did not reveal the secrets of the magic world to Ayako Mizu.

——Although that world is a continuation of legends and fantasies, it is not the same as a fairy tale world.

——It’s really not that tender.

"Actually, I feel the same way. This is definitely what Tohsaka would do..." Ayako Mizusu didn't realize at all that Sakura actually wanted to persuade her to quit and not let her go together, but she felt the same way. Head, sighing.

Although it's not good to say this, she is indeed worried about her friend's rough appearance. To outsiders who don't know the inside story, Tohsaka is a completely impeccable top student with no shortcomings at all.

But she knew how stupid the other party was at certain times...or rather how stupid and cute he was. She had always wondered how the other party could live alone and survive. She always felt that the other party was living in dire straits every day. middle.

"R-right, so actually, Meizu-senpai, you don't have to worry about it. Why don't I go take a look and let you know..." Sakura tried to strike while the iron was hot.

Meizu Ayako shook her head: "No, I still have to go and see it before I can rest assured, and we have already come here... It's okay, let's go and have a look together, let's go, let's go..."

As she spoke, she directly took Sakura's palm and dragged the girl forward without any explanation.

It was not that she didn't notice something strange about Matou Sakura, but she didn't think too much about it. She just instantly used her own logic and the information she had, and naturally deduced the "truth"——

The relationship between Sakura and Tohsaka has always been a bit awkward. They obviously have deep feelings, but they seem to have some kind of disconnect for some reason.

So the current situation is very likely that Sakura found out that her sister didn't come to school all day, and she was a little worried. She wanted to visit after school, but she accidentally bumped into her, so she felt embarrassed. Maybe she just mustered up the courage. Recoiled again...

Meizu Ayako felt that if she wasn't tougher, she might just rush over to take a look at Tohsaka and leave directly. Because I also know about this matter, the nature of this matter has changed... This is not okay!

It would really be a sin if the great opportunity for the two sisters to reconcile was ruined by him.

"U-um, Mizu-senpai..." Sakura started to panic, subconsciously trying to break away from Mizu Ayako's hand.

However, she is not specialized in strengthening physical strength, so of course she cannot have the strength of her sister. Naturally, she cannot compete with Ayako, who is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts. The best martial art is the naginata. Moreover, in this situation, the accompanying servants could only smile bitterly and sigh, unable to do anything to help.

Meizu Ayako was even more sure that her idea was correct. If it was just a friendly visit between classmates, why did Sakura resist so much? Maybe she really wanted to take this opportunity to talk openly with her sister?

The two young and lively girls from Suiqunhara Academy were drifting apart in the stalemate.

…

…

It is more than 30 kilometers away from Fuyuki City in a straight line to the west.

A national highway runs from east to west, cutting through the mountains far away from human habitation. Deep in the deserted forest is an alien space protected by layers of hallucinations and magic barriers. There is a magnificent ancient stone castle standing in the thick fog. .

This is a strange city that welcomes its master every sixty years and becomes a wartime base.

But this time, only ten years have passed since the last opening, and it has once again welcomed a new owner.

The petite and cute figure stood on the top floor of the castle, staring at the sunset that was about to sink to the horizon——

"Berserker, let's go!"
