[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

The front waved, although all it swept was air.

In this night-like space, everything in sight changes slowly.Deep and shallow turbidity rolled wantonly around Diarmuid, making the original pure darkness become strange as if it was covered by a large area of ​​volcanic ash.

And once again, Diarmuid heard the malice of this world—

"If 'that person' exists here now, you will definitely destroy 'her' soul without mercy, right?"

The child's voice became clearer and clearer.However, it is a terrible feeling to be able to hear the voice but not see the person.The thick and gloomy fog confused the surroundings into gray and black, making it impossible to see anything clearly.Diarmuid opened his bloody eyes wide, but he couldn't see anyone.

"Thanks to you, 'she' is no longer here."

Diarmuid was confused for a moment.The blood on his face hadn't even completely dried up, but confusion had gradually replaced anger to swallow him up.

"Who are you talking about...?" he called. "What are you talking about?"

The girlish voice laughed.

"I lost again this time." The laughter was like a silver bell, "I died at the hands of my master like in the previous life. Have you reflected on the reasons for this situation?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Diarmuid's face, but it turned back to mania in an instant.

"Who are you and what do you want from me?!"

Roaring like a beast, it didn't affect this strange "girl" at all.

"Oh, haven't we met before? You won't forget it. I have responded to your request, and you and I have indeed concluded a contract to fulfill your wish—to use my power to return to the present world and be summoned by humans. Heroic Spirit, don't you remember me?"

"...Holy Grail? Are you the Holy Grail?"

He heard the thing let out a chuckle that could be called pleasure.

"Ah, yes——yes. Diarmuid Odina, why is he always obliterated by the master he wants to serve? How do you view these two pieces of history? Give me an answer— —”

Diarmuid remained expressionless and silent, with an indescribably obscure light flickering in the corners of his eyes, as if he was estimating something.Finally—after a long hesitation, he replied:

"It was Grania...I should have rejected her more firmly and decisively...at that time."

It's only natural for a knight like myself to run away with his lord's fiancée not to be trusted.

Everything in the previous life was just because of the cursed love mole.Grania's own emotions mean nothing.While the two had a great few years after their escape, they did love each other in the end.However, if there was no uncontrollable, one-sided emotion from the very beginning... If Grania realized that what she fell in love with was just a mole at the beginning——

He would not be recorded on the pillar of shame in the history of defection, and he would not be misunderstood by people in later generations as a treacherous villain.His master, Kenneth, would trust him without reservation!Most definitely.

The Holy Grail laughed:

"Hahahaha... I really admire you, how can your thinking jump like this..."

Holy Grail obviously disagreed with this view, and even found it ridiculous.

"I can tell you clearly that even if you didn't have that absurd elopement with the princess, the princess still loves you, and dramas like stalking, disobedience and escape from marriage, and even threats of death will still follow. If it is staged, your lord will still be angry with you. Your final outcome will not change in any way."

Dilum hesitated for a moment, and wanted to refute, but he didn't know why the pain in his heart seemed to be hurt even more, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"The only way is to get rid of your master. Why didn't you chop off Kenneth's hand when he scolded you? Even if there is a command spell restriction, you can still fight back with words, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could I do such a thing!" Facing the void, Diarmuid retorted loudly, "It is absolutely impossible to injure the master, such acts of betrayal! If you continue to slander me for Master's words of loyalty—”

He firmly believes that the point of his gun will never be aimed at the people he has served.The fact that they didn't attack Kenneth and Sola's soul just now is the perfect proof.No matter how much he hated them in his heart, he still chose to let go.

Diarmuid held the red gun firmly.Although no one could be found in this mysterious space, his murderous aura had nowhere to hide.

"Hahaha... It's really powerless. You are obviously an evil spirit who has fallen into hell, and even the Throne of Heroes is unwilling to accept your body, so you still have such a naive idea?" The Holy Grail is completely absent. He laughed out of embarrassment, "Besides, your so-called benevolence means destroying the souls of innocent people irrationally?!"

"shut up!"

"Let me tell you the truth, the 'Master' itself exists to torture you. The only way to survive is to kill those who hurt you, Diarmuid! "

"You bastard, stop talking!"

As long as you think about it a little bit, you will feel that you have sinned deeply.But the inducing voice continued, and the Holy Grail asked the man in a relaxed tone:

"Don't you want to take revenge, don't you want to get retribution for the annoying ghost who trampled on the knight's dignity? I can give you a chance—"

"leave me!"

"Ah, so the conclusion is that you don't want to participate in the Holy Grail War anymore, do you?" At the same time that Diarmuid's hand holding the gun was getting stronger, the Holy Grail's crazier laughter suddenly calmed down. The girl's voice said lightly, with an obvious wry smile, "Really, that's all I'm going to say. Doesn't it still depend on your will after you get the ability to appear in the world? What a rigid knight—" —”

"You... Don't try to confuse me anymore..."

It can be seen that Diarmuid's clenched attitude has loosened a bit.He is still resisting the Holy Grail, but in fact, this is only a superficial tenacity - knowing this, the Holy Grail can laugh happily again.

"I can once again guide you to another Holy Grail War. If loyalty is just a superficial word on the lips, then you are just a man of this level. Use your obsession to write a new chapter, let me Take a good look at your so-called loyalty. You just need to set off again and win me. If this is the case, I swear in the name of the Almighty Cauldron that I will definitely fulfill all your wishes!"

The melodious voice of the "girl" carried a hint of bewitchment, and the words that belonged to the Holy Grail surrounded him from all directions.These words successfully peeled off the shell that Diarmuid had erected due to anger, and made his heart stop struggling.Diarmuid couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch the skirt of his chest, blood and tears poured out of his scarlet eyes, and his expression was full of pain.

"Will I still have...the chance of redemption?...People like me..."

"Don't be afraid, I will give you preferential treatment. How about arranging a good master who is most suitable for you? You don't have to worry about meeting a master like Kenneth who doesn't understand Maxima—"

Diarmuid has regained his sanity. Although his eyes, which were stained red due to madness, have not faded, they have gradually filled with a soft charm, and they are no longer as ferocious as before.

"Why help me..." he asked—the previous harsh and gloomy voice returned to normal.

"Because I also have my own wish." Unexpectedly, the Holy Grail, with a childish voice like a little girl, said seriously, "My wish is to be summoned. It has been four times since the Holy Grail War started, every time None of them came. This year's session was so promising...but it ended up being destroyed. It's very depressing. I want to be born, even once, and I want to be successfully summoned. I can fulfill my wish The almighty power has never been revealed before!"

The man with black hair and red eyes did not speak.The irresistible temptation made him hang his head in pain.I struggled and questioned many times in my heart but to no avail.It wasn't until now that he realized that his desire to be recognized by his master hadn't weakened in the slightest because of this setback.The desire to be faithful to the end is still burning.

"Hey, Diarmuid—so, try to climb to the finish line. Don't let me be one breath away from birth like this time."

Diarmuid panted and smiled wryly.

"I can use my power to make you return to the Throne of Heroes, and the 'Yellow Rose that Will Destroy' can be reproduced according to the original body. Go there and get it. You can also bring your double swords...you can You can't enter again to become a heroic spirit, but it all depends on the performance of your avatar!"

The Holy Grail said with a smile, as if all this was an extremely simple matter.A ray of light pierced through the darkness.Almost at this moment, Diarmuid clearly felt his body slowly floating up.

"Go... to meet your new master. It's in that direction... the person you're waiting for is right there..."

go--

If it had an anthropomorphic form, it would seem that the Holy Grail was licking its lips with its tongue. Under the dark, nightmare-like gaze full of malice, the corners of its mouth parted, and then it smiled contentedly.

The master prepared for you is undoubtedly the "best"——

The master who is least likely to trust you - the master who died at the hands of a follower who happened to be the opposite of you.It will definitely kill your wish in the cradle.Such a wonderful relationship between monarch and minister must not be missed.

Diarmuid's memory is like a huge
