Lost Narrative Poetry

"I told you! Let me go, didn't you hear me, Hundan!"

Flames were almost shooting out of her eyes. Tohsaka Rin gritted her teeth and said harshly. Looking at her ferocious look, if possible, she would have liked to pounce on someone and bite someone hard.

She can no longer stand this guy who is getting more and more outrageous! Be it the Holy Grail War or the gas explosion, get away from her! She won't take a trip into this muddy water. After all, no matter what it is, it is definitely not as precious as her sister...

So the current situation is completely beyond what Tohsaka Rin can tolerate. She absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch!

"Although that's what I said, it's obviously you who has been grabbing my hand, right?" The magician raised his eyebrows and looked at Tohsaka Rin, who was clutching his arm, "It's not like the evil person complained first. It’s true, at least I need to talk about some basic laws, you should let me go.”

"You...!!" Tohsaka Rin almost fainted with anger, his teeth were clenching, his eyes were wide open, and he stretched out a trembling hand, pointing at the other side and hugging him tightly. The purple-haired girl refused to let go of the magician's arm, "Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't act stupid with me! I'm obviously talking about Sakura!"

"Now that you know it's Sakura, tell me what you can do. The problem is that she doesn't want to let go..."

Xia Ran twitched the corner of his mouth. He tried to free his other hand, but failed. Instead, he got an unhappy look from the purple-haired girl.

Not only did Sakura not let go, but she held on tighter. At the same time, she stared at her sister with eyes full of inexplicable vigilance. She didn't have such a personality originally, but what Tohsaka Rin said before made her feel a sense of crisis and quite uneasy.

The same is true now.

Tohsaka Rin did want to protect her, but the problem was that Sakura didn't think she needed protection. The two had completely different concepts and starting points, and naturally the conclusions they reached were also different——

The elder sister was furious and thought that a certain Hundan had used some means to confuse and deceive her younger sister. Naturally, she wanted to try her best to stop this; but the younger sister did not feel that she had been deceived in any way. Coupled with the previous misunderstanding, she naturally also I don’t think my sister wants to protect herself...

No matter how Sakura looks at it now, she only thinks that Tohsaka-senpai is angry because of some dangerous reason, and she will never give in!

"Okay, okay, Tohsaka, please stop for a moment...Actually, I don't care very much, don't worry." He broke away Tosaka Rin's arm, then raised his hand and stretched out his slender index finger. Gently scratching his cheek, the magician had a subtle expression and his eyes were wandering, but he still spoke out words of comfort.

But of course the effect is not very good.

Tohsaka Rin almost laughed angrily at him, or laughed angrily: "Who is worried about you! Do you know how to understand people?!"

"Eh? Aren't you worried about me?" Xia Ran frowned, and immediately changed from a gentle expression to a look of disgust, as if he was changing his face, "Then what are you talking about? This matter has something to do with you. What’s the relationship?”

"No, it doesn't matter! How dare you say it has nothing to do with me!" The black-haired girl's eyes almost blacked out, and her chest kept rising and falling violently, "She is my sister!"

"Oh." The magician said very calmly, which made the girl feel as if she was punching cotton with all her strength, "She is also my sister."

It's like saying who doesn't, what's so great about that?

"you……!!"

"Okay, okay, everyone, please calm down." Mizu Ayako took a step forward, inserted herself between the two of them, and then pulled her friend away slightly. When she was glanced at by the magician, For a moment, I even felt that my body was stiff.

It was probably an illusion. After all, it was not like the feeling when facing that ferocious giant before. For a moment, there was only despair in my heart, and I couldn't even feel the fear.

It should be that she didn't know this strange boy at all, but now that her world view had just collapsed and she didn't even know whether he was a human or a ghost, she subconsciously felt fear and felt that every move of the other person frightened her. Trembling with fear...

This is human instinct. For things that you do not understand and things that can threaten you, you will subconsciously feel awe and fear.

Before you truly understand the other party and thoroughly confirm whether the other party will pose a threat to you, the existence of the other party itself is a threat.

But if it weren't for the fact that the situation was so critical, the group of people in front of them didn't seem to realize how nervous they were at all. Ayako Mizusu didn't want to stand up. She was obviously an outsider who didn't know anything, so why should she? Let her bear such pressure?

"Huh..." Tohsaka Rin was pulled by Mizu Ayako. After struggling for a few times to no avail, his boiling brain finally cooled down slightly, but he was still panting violently and his eyes were locked on the opponent.

At the same time, a burst of sadness mixed with indescribable anger welled up in my heart.

Why did it become like this... It was the first time I participated in the Holy Grail War and summoned a Servant; it was also the first time that my sister took the initiative to visit me...

Why does this happen? What happened between him and Sakura that he didn't know at all? But there is no reason at all. How long has it been since this guy was summoned by himself? What can you do in such a short time?

It must be magic! That kind of evil technique that confuses humans and controls their hearts!

That's right! That's it, isn't this guy's class Caster? Classes that specialize in the use of powerful magic are usually held by heroic spirits who are proficient in magic. No matter what era they lived in, those who can be summoned with such a class must be legends that transcend the limits of today's magicians!

Tohsaka Rin felt that he had seen through the truth, and quickly used his brain to think of the only possible time for this guy to commit the crime——

"Didn't you say you went to Guanbuzi City? Why are you back now!"

"..."

"..."

Xia Ran, who was talking to Sakura in a low voice, trying to persuade the girl to let go and that he would not run, was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the aggressive Tohsaka Rin with an extremely strange look: "You didn't ask me to come back. Really? I’ve obviously used all the command spells!”

"Lie! What did you do in Guanfuzi City?" Tohsaka Rin didn't believe a word he said, and his sharp eyes wanted to pierce this guy!

"Nothing done..."

The magician sighed.

He had not found the existence of Guanbuzi City at all, let alone this island country, but he had searched all over the world not long ago, but still found nothing.

This is a confirmable fact. It is impossible for the entire planet to escape his observation. Except for the ocean, the land area is only about 1.5 billion square kilometers. Naturally, it can be seen at a glance... ...He was also worried that he was careless and ignored the past or something, so he checked it carefully several times.

But the result was no different. He still failed to find the existence of Guanbuzi City.

This can only mean that there are two possibilities. One is that the city was hidden by a more powerful and incredible force, cutting off all connections with this world from the levels of time, space, cause and effect, etc., so that he could not find any traces. arrive;

The second possibility is that, in fact, Guanbuzi City did not exist on this world line from the beginning... Xia Ran thinks this is the reason.

After all, the so-called parallel world represents different possibilities, so it is infinitely extended like the phenomenon produced by the contrast of two mirrors.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, no world line is naturally on the "correct axis" and is the absolute main world. Even a mirror needs two sides to be compared at the same time to produce the phenomenon of infinite extension, instead of a single mirror being able to do such a thing.

Therefore, any world is different from a parallel world, and it can also be said to be a parallel world of the latter. It will always be different due to some minor differences, which may be just a matter of horseshoes.

The magician suspected that the Guanbuzi City he was looking for now was because of that difference. It actually did not belong to this world line from the beginning. It's just that the appearance of "Two Ritual" gave him the illusion that she came from Guanbuzi City next door.

But in fact, whether it is the difference in the "IF" of the world line or the fundamental difference in the universe plane, it will not cause any obstacles to her actions. What impact will Guanfuzi City have if it is next door?

Maybe she herself intentionally created such an illusion? I don't know if it's a small joke or something with a deeper meaning, but Xia Ran's trip was just in vain.

at this time--

"You didn't go there at all! Maybe there is no such thing as Guanbuzi City, right?" The black-haired girl sneered.

Sure enough, they were all excuses. I guessed it right! This scumbag definitely found a reason, and then in the afternoon, when he didn't react and didn't realize what happened, he quietly attacked his sister!

How abominable!

Absolutely intolerable!

Isn’t it said that heroic spirits are all ancient heroes who are praised for their great deeds and sublimated into elves after death? Why was this person so bad? She began to wonder if he was a Heroic Spirit. This person definitely wasn't even qualified to be registered on the Heroic Spirit Seat!

"Eh? How do you know, Tohsaka?" Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became slightly suspicious, and he immediately started thinking about it, and asked carefully and tentatively: "Do you know something? "

This is not impossible. He once saw the appearance of the "Two Ritual" in another copy plane and mission world that did not belong to this Fate universe, or in his own dream.

The girl in the delusion that the other party had replaced her was quietly reading in a familiar position in the service department. At that time, she was not even able to react immediately.

And Xia Ran thought it was just a well-intentioned reminder at the time, but after returning to the real world, he actually turned to Yukinoshita Yukino's books in the activity room of the service department. Used as a bookmark, there is a "Hanged Man" tarot card sandwiched in one of the books.

——That card looks ordinary, from the material to the structure. The magician still takes it out from time to time to figure it out, trying to reveal the secrets in it, but he still cannot find any valuable information. After all, it is an appraisal. Functions are unresponsive.

Even though he is already further ahead than when he got that card.

Although she still doesn't know how she did it, this does not prevent Xia Ran from thinking divergently and making a reasonable judgment at this moment, believing that Tohsaka Rin has also become a springboard for delivering news.

"What do you think?" the black-haired girl asked angrily. Of course she had seen through the other party's trick.

"That's it..." Xia Ran breathed out softly, nodded thoughtfully, looked directly at Tohsaka Rin and asked: "So Tohsaka, is there anything you want to tell me? Or...do you have something for me?"

"Huh? It's so funny. Why should I give you something?!" Tohsaka Rin's eyes suddenly widened and he became even more angry. This man really wanted to make himself angry on purpose.

"I mean, have you ever met a girl before? Maybe you don't know her, but has she said anything to you or left anything specifically for me?" Xia Ran blinked. Blinking his eyes, he said this after considering it.

"..."

"..."

There was no answer, only Tohsaka Rin's disbelieving look that looked like a scumbag.

There was also Sakura beside her who subconsciously tightened her grip again, tightening her palms, and the warning message coming from her.

"That, that..." Ayako Mitsui spoke up again. Listening to the tone of her voice, she almost couldn't help but cry. "Please, shouldn't what you should be concerned about now be the situation outside?"

Could it be that among so many people, she is the most normal one? The sounds of fighting obviously never stopped, and the wave of murderous aura that seemed to be real could clearly seep in from such a distance through the streets and the walls of the mansion.

Meisui Ayako really felt that she must not have woken up yet, but even in the most bizarre dreams in the past, such an inexplicable situation did not appear, just like an absurd comedy.

"I told you, there will be no problem..."

Xia Ran was not sure whether his guess was wrong or whether Tohsaka Rin was unwilling to say anything to him, but he was not in a hurry. He just turned his head and glanced at the girl, and then said calmly.

"I completed the idea last night and started revising the rules of the Holy Grail War this morning. As long as they enter the radiation range of Fuyuki City's spiritual veins, the rules can be extended to all people who enter Fuyuki City or others. Everything will be captured by new rituals..."

"What?" Even though he was in an extremely angry state that could slip through the tackle at any time, Tohsaka Rin's basic qualities as a magician still existed, and he was stunned for a moment, "How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. After all, even a magician knows that the ritual system of the Holy Grail War is full of errors, and the people who were able to fix it back then no longer exist..." Xia Ran shook his head gently.

"Huh? I'm a magician too, why didn't I know?"

"In short, I have changed the damage determination. Attributes such as strength and speed cannot have a decisive impact on the outcome of the battle. Only luck can affect the final damage determination..." The magician pretended not to hear her words, "Unless He is a particularly unlucky kind of person, otherwise he would not have been harmed."

"What kind of answer is this? Something as ethereal as luck..." Tohsaka Rin was even more shocked. She felt that this person was targeting her. Who didn't know that her luck would be particularly bad at critical moments!

"No problem, this is just a superficial reason. In fact, there are deeper principles and mechanisms running the judgment..." Xia Ran replied calmly, "Anyway, you don't have to worry, no innocent person will be injured because of this. ...Besides, even if you are really unlucky and accidentally injured, it won’t be a big problem. I have also changed the death determination..."

At this time, the sound of fighting outside suddenly stopped.

He raised his eyebrows with interest and looked out the window: "Hey, it looks like someone is going to climb up the street lamp and yell at passers-by, bastards or something..."

"What?" Tohsaka Rin was stunned, not quite understanding what this sentence meant.
