The number one heartbreaker in Hong Kong and black

"..." Araki Ryosuke couldn't understand what he was talking about, and he couldn't help laughing because it was so unbelievable, "You mean, I participated in the Holy Grail War, and then I was crowned Berserker Heroic Spirit?"

Why doesn't he have any impression?

The Holy Grail War, that is, the war in which magicians summon heroic spirits to compete for the Holy Grail, because the Holy Grail can theoretically realize any impossible wish-so the selected seven people and seven knights will start a bloody and cruel fight in the city where the Holy Grail is released. Fight for your own victory until the last winner is left to claim the ownership of the Holy Grail.

Saber, also known as Swordsman, is the job with the strongest attributes among the seven heroic spirits. Most of the heroic spirits summoned by this job were born in the age of gods, and have matching myths and legends. They need a lot of magic power to support them. Fighting, so the master is generally a relatively good existence.

On the contrary, the Berserker, known as the Berserker, is the most tail-end class. Heroes who have left legends of madness or insanity are the easiest to appear in this form. Although the attack power is the strongest among all job classes, but But it will be irrational, unable to hear any orders and instructions around it, and unless there are rumors of insanity itself, it will not be able to stay awake.

Berserker needs a lot of magic power to support normal operations, and the master generally cannot provide enough magic power, so there are many cases where Berserker was drained of magic power and died in the Holy Grail War.

It can be said that this is a powerful but crazy job agency, even if it is against Saber, it may not necessarily become a loser.

He thought about it for a while, and this knowledge got into his mind, which surprised Ryosuke Araki.

Merlin stared at him: "...Have you ever thought about why we came to you, Ryosuke?"

"..."

This question overwhelmed him, he didn't know why this heroic spirit became his servant, just like he couldn't understand that Enkidu just appeared like that, he clearly didn't make any summoning actions, but these heroic spirits continued Appeared by his side, and quickly established an intimate relationship with him.

"Then I'll just say it straight, two kings," Merlin said lightly, his expression became serious, which is really abnormal for a half-human like him who always smiles, "Is it cool?" The Holy Grail in your body is trying to restore the last Holy Grail War, we are all the heroes of the last war—oh, at that time we were still opponents, belonging to different camps, fighting for our respective masters."

……what?

Araki Ryosuke's first reaction was that he couldn't believe it, and he subconsciously wanted to refute: "Impossible——"

But then, all the known heroic spirits that appeared around him, including the heroes he wanted to summon, flashed through his mind, and found that the number was close to six, and adding him, it was seven ...just the number of Holy Grail War servants.

Arthur is the swordsman Saber, the legend of the sword in the stone is too famous, Enki is the spearman Lancer, because he is the lock of the sky, the wedge that connects humans and gods, Merlin is the magician Caster, Gilgamesh The most likely form is Archer, while the Grotto King appears as Avenger.

Undoubtedly, this is an unprecedentedly powerful Holy Grail War. Such a terrible war has never occurred in human history. Therefore, the Holy Grail judges that this war is likely to cause distortions in the world and lead to the destruction of civilization. The identity of the adjudicator Ruler appeared to restrain the war.

And Ryosuke Araki...is the crazy Berserker who appeared at the end.

Even job descriptions are not repeated, which is completely in line with the law of the Holy Grail War.

"No, but why do I have no memory of the Holy Grail War?" Arthur asked, he frowned, puzzled, "If I came out in the form of Saber, why don't I have the memory of participating in the Holy Grail War?"

It's impossible to leave even a vague impression.

Merlin looked at him, his expression became less tense, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, he waved his hand and said, "It's Artoria Pendragon, that young knight who participated in the Holy Grail War in this world, Not yourself, therefore you have no memory."

This is Arthur's counterpart in this world.

"..." No wonder, this makes sense.

"It can be said that I took advantage of my status as a magician Caster." Merlin smiled happily, and he said proudly, "Because Brother Merlin is a magician himself, he can also summon heroic spirits, so I hurried Action was taken before the Holy Grail did."

Wouldn't it be too contemptuous to try to use tricks in his eyes?He's not something to mess with either.

The Holy Grail chose him as the first Heroic Spirit brought to Araki Ryosuke, which was simply a miscalculation.

After that, even if the last Heroic Spirit, Gilgamesh, is summoned when the world is closed, it will not cause the terrible effect as the Holy Grail wished, and reproduce the original scene of overflowing black mud, because In this world, Saber, who was judged to have participated in the Holy Grail War, was replaced by Merlin in advance, so the situation of "complete replication" could not be achieved.

Merlin grabbed his fluffy long hair, and he changed back to that smiling look: "That's why I said don't tell Ryosuke, because the whole plan has been ruined by me, besides increasing troubles, what's the matter?" use it?"

"But why didn't Enkidu recognize me?" Ryosuke Araki asked.

"In that case... it was probably at that time that you were wearing a mask, you were covered in black air, it was super scary, and your eyes were bleeding. Brother Merlin ran away when he saw it, because I am just a weak magician! En Qidu probably didn't recognize you because of this? After all, not everyone can recognize your crazy appearance."

In fact, it's not just bleeding... Logically speaking, the berserk hero should lose his mind, but Ryosuke Araki can still keep awake intermittently, which is really incredible.

When he was out of control, blood and tears fell from his eyes together. This pitiful appearance was simply unbearable, and when fighting him, he could only hear the continuous "hate", "" Curse" vicious words.

"Why..." the heroic spirit of Berserker groaned in pain, fighting continuously under the command of the master, as if he would not feel pain, "Why..."

I really don't know what his real name is, whose crimes he is still questioning after his death... and what kind of image he played in history to appear in this form.

Merlin kept shaking his head, showing a deliberately relaxed smile, and said: "But he recognizes it now, didn't I say that he was preparing a gift? I just wanted to apologize to you. During the last Holy Grail War, he almost It tore you apart, if your Master didn't take the opportunity to sneak attack and kill his Master, it is not certain who will be the final winner."

"..."

However, neither Arthur nor Araki Ryosuke responded to his words.

Merlin's smile froze slightly.

"...I really can't do anything about you."

"Merlin, you are avoiding the important and taking the light." Ryosuke Araki said without expression, he hit the point straight, picking out the topic that Merlin deliberately avoided, "So what Arthur said is right, I absorbed the Holy Grail, I am the protective device. "

"Huh, that's right." Merlin was discouraged, he sighed, and rubbed his white hair, "However, as I said, I think you should use the power of the Holy Grail, plus your own Noble Phantasm, purify it thoroughly, eliminate this singularity—"

"Merlin, it's not that easy." Arthur frowned, "He's no longer a heroic spirit, he can't open a treasure, he's just a projection that isn't even human."

Araki Ryosuke: "...I will be very depressed when you say that, Arthur."

In fact, it is true to say that, now he suspects that his idea of ​​time travel may be wrong-after all, skills like clairvoyance can easily see through the future, if he has such ability when he is a heroic spirit, then It shouldn't be a problem to know what's likely to happen next.

After his words fell, Arthur instantly realized what he said was too much, so he opened his eyes wide and looked at Ryosuke Araki with a guilty face: "...I'm sorry."

"..."

"But Ryosuke is not alone at all." Merlin smiled. He stepped forward and took the hand of Araki Ryosuke, "Although we participated in the same Holy Grail War, the experiences we get along with now are not the same. False? I am happy to be your backing, and I believe Enkidu and the others are too."

The moment they were summoned to see Ryosuke Araki, they were surprised, but they all recognized the Master, otherwise they would never have called him by such a title.

Even Merlin himself didn't expect that in order to take care of Ryosuke Araki's emotions, none of the heroic spirits would point out his former identity. Adorable traits of closeness.

Ryosuke Araki didn't pull his hand away, but he didn't respond either, which made Arthur feel very uneasy.

Arthur said softly, sadness in his eyes: "Did I screw up?"

He began to feel that the little ants of self-blame were gnawing at his heart. This was definitely not the intention of the King of Knights.

If the current situation will cause Ryosuke Araki to feel sad, Arthur will also feel pain, because it is caused by him. Out of personal feelings, he does not want to see the other party show a disappointed expression.

"No, my king, I was planning to tell Ryosuke today." Merlin said, he closed his hand holding Ryosuke Araki's fingers, and looked at the other party who said nothing, "Since we have already spoken Well, let's think about it and find out what wish Ryosuke you made? This is very useful information."

……

After a while, Ryosuke Araki finally came to his senses, and was immediately enveloped by the worried gazes of Merlin and Arthur.

"...I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." He said, "I probably know who will understand."

— Osamu Dazai.

Who else but him?Even the fragile appearance after making a wish is captured by this guy, right?

That was close to two years ago.

When Ryosuke Araki opened his eyes for the first time, what he saw was the slightly curious face of the other party.

Osamu Dazai tilted his head to look at him, stretched out his clogs and kicked his arm lightly, while he was lying on the snow in a mess, his face was covered with blood, tears kept flowing on his face, he looked very embarrassed.

But fortunately it was a dark rainy night, even with the moon hanging high, the raindrops that kept falling washed over his face, washing away most of the blood and tears, allowing him to maintain some dignity.

He actually remembered this scene for a long time, and he couldn't forget Osamu Dazai's appearance, that was the first time they met.

Soft black hair, clean iris-colored eyes, and he stood beside him in a kimono, opened a black umbrella with a bang, covering the figures of the two of them, under the constant torrential rain protected him.

The sound of rain spread between them.

After a while, Osamu Dazai squatted down and stretched out his hand towards him, gently took off his mask, carefully wiped off the blood and tears on his face bit by bit with his cuffs, and saw clearly After Araki Ryosuke's face, he couldn't help but startled.

"It's so dirty...it's like a poor puppy!"

Although he said it with disgust, the excited expression betrayed his true thoughts, and he was actually very interested in him.

"What's your name?... Ah, yes, I'll call you Ryosuke Araki! Isn't that a nice name~" Dazai Osamu's eyes sparkled, these were a pair of overly beautiful eyes, and he She was staring at him unblinkingly.

Ryosuke Araki could feel the life, or the power flowing out of his body quickly, but he couldn't lift a single finger, he only felt the pain of the whole body falling apart, and he couldn't utter any words other than ho ho when he opened his lips. sound.

He wanted to refute that he didn't call himself that name, he was called...

But he couldn't remember it, and a force robbed him of his memory.

In the end, he just struggled to raise his head to meet Osamu Dazai's eyes. In the rainy night, they looked at each other.

Dazai remained silent.

He was holding an umbrella, and the rain splashed from the edge of his umbrella. After a while, he suddenly gave him a childish smile.

"Ryosuke, my name is Osamu Dazai, remember, Dazai, Osamu—"

The moment the other party handed over his name, it was like a flash of lightning gliding across the sky, the muffled sound before the rainstorm fell, and an inexplicable trembling ran through him, and the trajectory of fate strung together a new intertwining...locks Toggle it, and a new story begins.

"...Well, I've decided! Let's go to Hong Kong together? After all, you are homeless now," Osamu Dazai leaned over and said, his eyes were dark, "How about it?"

The moment they looked at each other, he seemed to have seen through all the life trajectories of this boy named Osamu Dazai. He looked at the unknown future through his iris-colored eyes, but because his thinking was too chaotic, those specious colorful pictures came from his eyes. Flashed through his mind quickly, he seemed to remember, but also didn't seem to remember anything.

So he just looked at him in silence, the muffled winter rain was falling far away in his ears.

"Ryosuke."

Osamu Dazai smiled, he lowered his body again, and leaned himself on him, bringing a breath of white tea mixed in the rain, leaning close to his ear, with his hands on his lips to protect, like It was whispering: "Hey, what happened just now..."

"I've seen it all."
