[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

Puzzle, at this very moment an important piece is slowly leaving me.The part of the memory that had been swirling in my mind for a long time was lost in a flash after all.

In the end, I couldn't understand what was really making me suffer.Is it Kenneth's suspicion and abandonment, or Sola's robbery, or is it his own incompetence?In the holy grail war that was mixed with too many desires, the connection between him and that master was separated by an irresistible force, and he became farther and farther away from him.

The Holy Grail erases Diarmuid's memory of the Fourth Holy Grail War, as it always does for any spirit who is repeatedly summoned to participate.

Diarmuid's body rose higher and higher, and was finally swallowed by a beam of light and disappeared into space.

The dazzling white light almost hurt his eyes.He remembered returning to the Throne of Heroes.Almost immediately after he retrieved the yellow gun and made up his mind, he found himself landing smoothly in some place he had never been before.Diarmuid stepped into the new time and space with great anticipation, looking forward to the scene that would replace the Throne of Heroes.

What appeared in sight was a room that looked like a study, and a woman with white hair.

Is the host this time a woman?

Forget it, don't worry about it.

All I had to do was to help her wholeheartedly.

I don't want to regret it anymore, and I don't want to be given up by the master again.If you can give yourself a brand new chance, you must never betray your master no matter what, and you must fight for your master until the end of your life no matter what.Even if you can't win the Holy Grail, you must die on the battlefield like a truly perfect knight under the trusting eyes of your master.

Diarmuid recalls the moment of his death.Under Finn's sullen gaze, he closed his eyes unwillingly in the heartache...not without regret.The fact that he became a Heroic Spirit stems from his guilt towards Finn.

So this time...

"May I ask, are you the master who summoned me?"

I don't know whether it is more instinctive respect generated by abiding by the knight's code all the time, or more rebellious psychology inspired by the Holy Grail.Diarmuid asked this sentence with a seven-point respectful and three-point tough attitude.

She didn't answer.

"The servant lancer came here according to the call. Excuse me, are you my master?"

Even though his heart was extremely complicated, after confirming that the person in front of him was the master of the world, Diarmuid still tried his best to maintain his customary modesty and opened his mouth for the second time, and sincerely hoped that his blackened appearance would not scare him. to each other.

"No... I didn't..."

A wonderful atmosphere surrounds each other.He saw the woman leaving a magic book and ran away in a hurry.The halo emanating from the book surrounded him gently.

***

"Where do you love me?"

Where the living would neither think nor reach, there stood Heyamendi and James.The fiery red pupils contained glaze formed by solidified tears, but the owner of the tears turned around and did not want to look at her again.

She looked at the back of the eyes slowly moved away.She heard a slow answer coming from his mouth:

"I do not know either……"

She raised the corners of her mouth stiffly, the hesitation and fear in her heart had swallowed her up.

That's not the answer you want to hear.But that is an answer that has been known for a long time.

It's clear to me that everything you're feeling is just lust.Just because I flipped that switch and "resuscitated" you.You who always talk about love, but never really loved me.At least……

Not the love I expected.

"Sorry, master, although I can't say why, but I really..."

Hoyamendi knew he didn't need to listen any longer.

The two who stepped into hell one after the other meet here.A follower who burns himself to death becomes a master who shatters fossils.Yames, who died with his master, stood stubbornly waiting for her at the entrance of hell, but couldn't answer her question.

The question that should have been asked when the prison that held evil was crumbling, but has been put on hold until now.

The question that I have asked myself countless times but I have already guessed the answer.

The question that I couldn't help asking even though I knew the answer.

"I love you so much...always have."

The simple words and sentences are spoken in an extremely jerky tone, like a baby who has just learned to speak.Yames murmured to himself.He knew she had turned and left.

"I... love... you."

The tears overflowing in the eyes burst and couldn't stop, like a broken farewell.

— But, where do you love me?

Someone was meeting Hoyamendi and sending her to the court of the judges of hell.

If this is the head of the ghosts and monsters who rule hell, then his speech and speaking attitude are really too amiable.Heyamendi stood at the bottom of the long steps, and the thick curtain blocked the opportunity to meet the judge's eyes.

"The 24 dragon warlocks who were erased from existence, as well as their dragon servants, have arrived in the other world. This is the price of being removed from history and deprived of being promoted to a heroic spirit. I bestow on you the right to reincarnate. Only you and one other dragon warlock chose to stay here. Do you want to know who it is?"

The judge's voice was thick and full, with a righteousness that didn't match the cold surroundings.He Yamendi smiled.

"It has nothing to do with me."

"It has too much to do with you."

Such ambiguous words seem to be intended to arouse Heyamendi's interest in questioning.But she didn't.At this moment, she just wants to find a place to rest quickly, forget everything about the past, and never wake up again.

No matter what kind of happiness, there must be a certain sacrifice.When she was young, she wanted to go home and resist the fate of being forever bound in the palm of the Dragon King, for which she paid a high price.The Dragon King borrowed the servant's desire to possess her and obtained enough information to destroy her.In order to escape from Katat, she had to fight against the entire Dragon Clan—and just like that, she lost everything.

Most Notorious Dragon Warlock—what's the point of having a title like that?

The world will not know the little girl that no one will remember, trapped on a high mountain far away from the world of mortals and human habitation.He Yamendi, who was only infamous among the Dragon Clan, was burdened with hatred that almost crushed her, and by the time she wanted to turn back, it was too late.No matter whether the method is correct or the purpose is justified, she has done all kinds of bad things for revenge.Playing with the feelings of his admirers, he slaughtered the entire mountain of Katat, and his hands were covered with layers of blood.But she never frowned.

Because of my selfish desire back then, my family is gone.Because she had to avenge her family, she did more wrong things.People who have committed many crimes can only be accepted by hell.

"I thought, stay here..."

"The people who stay in hell are the ones who think they can't get peace and tranquility. They are the ones who can't let go of the past and bind themselves in a cocoon."

Regarding the judge's words, Heyamendi nodded with his usual calm expression.

- also good.

In the underworld isolated from the world, there is no anger, no hatred, no interest, no love, and no harm here.This is her shelter, there will be nothing but herself who is about to sleep.

The judge sighed and ordered his men to take her away.

Go to sleep, go to sleep.

Wait for the next awakening, before falling into eternal sleep.

She only remembered that there was a dead tree there that would never sprout and blossom, and nothing else.Hoyamendi fell asleep under that tree.

The long years... the flowers bloom and wither year after year, the spring, summer, autumn and winter year after year, and the stars change year after year.Time, like a fleeting moment, did not stop for a moment.The companions in the past, whether they have never met, never fought side by side, or never met, their reincarnations are scattered all over the world, and their descendants are already full of descendants, only Heya who is stranded in hell Mendy was still asleep.

In the depths of hell where there are no living beings, she is the only one who will be alone forever.

until she heard a voice.

It's like a bird's beak pecking open the ice layer of thousands of years of ice, like sea water flowing backwards into your ears and pouring into your mouth and nose.

— Get up, get up.You have slept long enough. ——

The concise sentence washed away the drowsiness in an instant, completely occupying her mind like an irresistible order that invaded her brain.

— Get up, don't sleep. ——

The closed eyelids trembled slightly.The icy blue pupils opened again after more than four centuries, accompanied by small gasps.

——Hmm, that's right. ——

Empty eyes stare blankly into the surrounding darkness, seeing nothing but nothing.I can't understand why I just woke up without warning.

She sat up slowly, leaned against the tree, and called out doubtfully:

"……Who?"

He Yamendi, who was forcibly awakened by the mysterious sound, was still immersed in the unfinished tiredness.The girl's voice, which sounded like a mature and prudent girl with a slightly nasty laugh, was a little closer to her, and her tone was full of ease.

"I am the Holy Grail. The universal wishing machine that can fulfill all wishes in the world."

"Holy Grail...what is it, the cup that holds the blood of Jesus?"

"Hmm, you've been locked in hell for too long, it's time to listen to the beautiful sounds of the outside world."

"...not interested. Don't bother me." His eyes closed again.

She didn't know how to understand these words, nor did she have any comprehension.The depression of being woken up made her panic.The Holy Grail smiled and groaned softly like a pure and flawless saint.

"Yames—"

The aversion to this name and the resulting evasive mentality almost overwhelmed her, and Heyamendi suddenly seemed to be pushed into the river from behind
