[fate][Archer] purple soul

very unhappy.

"It's said to be from the Matou family—in fact, I'm just an adopted son."

"Adopted son? How did you get adopted by Matou from the family of magicians? You were an ordinary person before you were adopted!"

The other party used the eyes of rare species.

Is it really necessary to tell her about this dark history?

But she was also the one who saved me from the teaching building.

As a participant, I almost died before summoning the Heroic Spirit, so I can't say anything about this kind of thing in the future.

If she wants to know about it, I can tell her.

"You know about the Fuyuki fire ten years ago, right?"

Nodding, Tohsaka Rin naturally knew about it as a local.

Then she suddenly widened her eyes and asked, "Could it be that you were involved in this incident at that time?"

Although I hate to say it, but still——

"Yes, I was rescued by that Emiya Kiritsugu ten years ago. At that time, I remember that he planned to adopt me..."

"So you refused and were adopted by the Matou family?"

"Ah."

She lowered her head and pondered for a while, and after a while, she slowly raised her head very seriously.

"Leave this topic aside, let me ask you, do you know what your own position is?"

position--?

Of course I don't want to be against others, although I was semi-forced to participate in this Holy Grail War.

But you can't do anything against others.

"Look at you—hey, you know, the Holy Grail War is basically the Master defeating the Master, and if you defeat the other six, you will be given the Holy Grail that can grant your wishes."

"I know that! But—!"

"Hmph, to put it simply, this is a mutual killing between seven magicians. You were killed by Lancer once before."

"Kill—?"

—By the way, I was killed by a man with a gun.

I should be surprised by the fact that I'm still alive, compared to where I am now.

The wound that runs through the chest, the blood that flows out, the temperature that is lost——

And the voice of Rin Tohsaka.

Don't ask me why I knew it belonged to Tohsaka Rin, after all, the bug was very unstable and extremely sensitive in the body at that time.

I think Rin Tohsaka noticed too.

"Wait, Master, did you die before, the one on the chest?"

Saber, who was a little slower, grabbed my sleeve and bent down to look desperately at the wound.

Pushing away the face of his heroic spirit with his hands, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"That's enough, Saber, you care too much!"

"puff--"

It was Rin Tohsaka who was smiling with her mouth covered, and she lamented the friendly relationship between us.

"So, how much do you know about the Holy Grail War?"

I blinked, "..."

"Ha - I know the battle between the seven people, but I don't know anything else. It seems that we still have to set off."

"Go—where?"

"Of course it's the guy who took you to find out more about the Holy Grail War. Do you want to know why the Holy Grail War exists?"

The reason for existence, yes, why does it exist.

And that time, why did Emiya Kiritsugu cut the Holy Grail in two?

Not at all, the idea of ​​this sin.

That old guy Matou Zouken selectively explained to me about magicians, and only mentioned a few words about the Holy Grail War.

So am I going to meet the guy Tohsaka said?

[A. see] [B. see]

[Choose A route]

Although I am very tired and want to rest now, in order to win the Holy Grail, understanding is also a necessary process.

After saying hello to Sakura in the house, I walked to the next town with Tohsaka Rin.

Found a church.

Hey, what does the church have to do with the Holy Grail War? I don't know.

Saber chose to enter the church with us, while Archer insisted on staying outside.

[The process is brief, too long =_=]

Anyway, my face was pale.

After walking out of the church, I took a deep breath. The environment there was too depressing.

Tohsaka's heroic spirit followed behind him, and he snorted softly, "Hmph—you can go back after you understand it, kid, this Holy Grail War is really inexplicable."

Looking back at him, frowning.

"What—you're too rude to speak, your Master and I—well, we're temporarily allied."

The red heroic spirit crossed his arms and glanced at me condescendingly due to his height.

"That's right, it's only for the time being. After all, we still have to face each other as enemies. You can talk about the reason for wanting to get the Holy Grail here."

We stopped walking, and everyone else looked at me curiously.

It is not impossible to say the reason.

Such a childish and innocent little wish will be laughed at.

"..."

I hated Emiya Kiritsugu.

I hated the Holy Grail War.

I hated Matou Zouken.

Even, I hated myself.

But no matter what, always face reality.

That little wish has been buried in my heart.

[A. For the wish of the Matou family] [B. For salvation] [C. Actually there is no reason]

[choose route C]

"I—Actually, I have no reason—"

Such an obvious lie, anyone can see it.

Then the red heroic spirit stared at me for a while and said without looking back, "Rin, this kind of person—"

Before the words fell, he gave me a knife first.

The entire head was cut off by the red Heroic Spirit.

Ah - eh?Why has to be this way--?

There is no reason why you suddenly shot and killed me.

Blood sprayed out, and the expression of the blond heroic spirit was obviously stunned.

Saber didn't have time to block the heroic spirit's attack without warning, so she could only watch her Master pass away.

"Hey! You bastard, are you still a hero!?"

The blond heroic spirit who was about to lose his mind in anger yelled like this.

"Matou Shirou is just a substandard person, he is unwilling to express his ideals, besides, I have never said that I am a hero."

The mocking tone took my reason away gradually.

What happened after that, I don't know.

-Badend-

[reason without reason]

[Tiger Dojo] Everyone knows that the heroic spirit Emiya is Emiya Shirou’s future, so he asked Shirou, a complete stranger, the reason why he wants to get the Holy Grail. In fact, it was intentional, mainly because he wanted to know his ideals and decide whether to make a decision. start. .

And answering like this is not superficial, I don't want to tell you the ideal, right? Of course I will be killed. . . ?

fifth choice

?[Choose B route]

"I—I'm here to save!"

With a determined expression, he spoke out the desire buried in his heart for many years.

Saying it is a wish, in fact, this is my ideal.

What to save.

Humanity?

Yourself?

fate?

This kind of thing doesn't need to be known.

Do what you can to help those you care about.

I don't want to see Sakura with that painful look in her eyes.

"—Mmm, I agree with you for now."

Not wanting to see himself again for a moment, Archer decisively chose to transform into a spirit body.

"Let's go, Master, it's not suitable to stay here for long."

Saber put on a smile and suggested, and I nodded.

Keep up with Tohsaka Rin who is walking faster.

I was speechless all the way, walked down the ramp, and there was a fork in the road ahead, but Tohsaka in front stopped abruptly.

"I'm sorry——I suddenly remembered that there are still things I haven't done. Since I just arrived in Xindu, I will search for it before going back. You should go back first."

"..."

"I have exhausted my benevolence and righteousness, and I will be an enemy from tomorrow on."

Everything today is thanks to Tohsaka, and I feel a little moved for no reason.

"Ah, Tohsaka, you are actually a good person, although as a Servant, Archer is a bit—"

With a chuckle, he sent a good person card to the girl, and then changed the subject to slightly satirize someone in a spirit form.

"you--"

Tohsaka, who was completely stunned, was a little annoyed, "Ugh! Uruse! Goodbye!"

Angrily, he turned around and walked towards Xindu step by step, however.

"—Hey, you two have such a good relationship."

The childish voice echoed, and there was a young girl standing on the hillside.

"Berserker—"

There is no doubt that this girl is the other Master.

The giant standing behind is obviously not a normal person.

"Ye An, big brother and Tohsaka Rin-san—"

She said with a smile, that kind of smile made me shiver, and at the same time I couldn't help thinking about it.

At the door of Matou's house, Tohsaka Rin's smile.

Women are devils—

I've never been so convinced.

"Archer, as an archer, you should completely use your original fighting style."

Tohsaka whispered to his heroic spirit.

"Understood, but what about defense, Rin can't stop his assault."

"There are three of us here, there is always a way."

After speaking, Tohsaka turned his gaze to me.

"You—flee or fight as you please, but if you have the chance, try to escape."

The golden Saber took a step forward, her face very serious.

"How could you escape before the battle?"

"The discussion is over, first meeting, I am Ilya, Ilya Sophie von Einzbern."

Ah, it's Einzbern, one of the three founding families.

We were all taken aback.

The girl was very satisfied with our reaction, she swayed and seemed to be leisurely.

"Then let's kill, come on, Berserker—"

The huge Heroic Spirit jumped down from the ramp above, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Back off! Master!
