[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

Ask:

Two boats are floating on the sea.

One boat had 300 people on board, the other 200.

Now, a fatal hole was opened in the bottom of both ships at the same time.

You're the only one with the repair skills, and while you're repairing one ship, another sinks.

——What would you do?

……

"..."

The warm sunshine unique to spring comes in obliquely from the window, and the sweet fragrance of flowers is mixed in the breeze, which seems to be able to paralyze even the human brain circuit.

(However, it would be bad to be paralyzed.)

The girl by the window straightened her waist and focused her eyes on the neatly printed characters on the tip of the pen.

The paper had a lifeless pale background reminiscent of skeletons.The examination questions densely entrenched on it are like a whole nest of twisted and fragmented insects and ants.

... For some reason, such an unlucky metaphor came to mind.

Maybe it's a hangover from staying up all night reading horror comics.

However, as far as the exam is concerned, such a sinister assumption will be listed in the last question, which itself can be called a synonym for "ominous".

——What's more, this is a "qualification test" held to select contestants for the school's annual [Holy Grail War].

"Well……"

If it is reciting or calculating, the girl is confident that she can complete it smoothly.She fiddles with her hair with one hand, as if she is in her own study, in a calm and unhurried posture, which is in stark contrast to the figures around her who are writing hard.

However, except for questions about "values".

Not only is the teenage girl devastatingly lacking in talent for this, but, worse, she is not self-aware of her own deficit.

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise—it was precisely because of this fearlessness born of ignorance that the girl faced the ultimate problem that had driven countless ancestors to a dead end. After a moment of contemplation, the girl quickly brought up her pen with the same confidence as before, The following words were written like flowing clouds and flowing water:

"I will make a phone call and complain to the consumer association about the shipbuilder."

※※※

"—Why, isn't this the correct answer?"

"No! It's a ghost!! Rather, you are amazing for being able to write such an answer with confidence. For a moment, I really admire you, Fukamachi-san? "

"I see. To make Rin feel admirable, it must be a perfect answer. Then, I will immediately protest to the marking team—"

"You stop for me!!!"

……

A certain year, a certain month, a certain unchanging, comfortable and boring afternoon.

A sharp scream like dying mourning pierced through the calm blue sky hanging above Sui Qunyuan Magic High School.

The screams spread like water waves, and in the center were two girls in sailor suits who were in their prime.

One of them is undoubtedly an icon-level fashionable girl - glossy black hair that reaches down to her shoulders, two ponytails and a flowery skirt swaying in the wind.The delicate and fair skin, the rosy cheeks full of vitality, and the well-proportioned figure all add to her jewel-like radiant beauty.Just imprinting that too vivid shadow into the eyes will make people's heart stop for a moment.

...However, at this moment, the image of Tohsaka Rin feeding the dog and wailing with her head in her arms would probably make all her male fans in the school disillusioned and faint on the spot.

"..."

Opposite her, another girl sat on the bench and remained motionless, as silent as a fossil.No matter how annoyed and agitated Rin was, she just mechanically pinched the chopsticks, and while putting the brightly colored tomatoes in the bento into her mouth, she concentrated on chewing "Mmmmm".

"...Rin, I can't understand the reason for your anger."

It wasn't until the last bit of flesh was completely swallowed that the girl raised her stone-like upright and unwavering face, and spoke calmly.

"I will listen to reasonable opinions. Can you please explain in more detail. Why can't I complain to the Consumer Association?"

——Of course, the result was that Tohsaka Rin's shoulders drooped more and more weakly.

"Let me tell you, learn to read the air occasionally...'Xiao Satsuki is good everywhere except ky~', are you planning to carry out this regrettable character design for the rest of your life?"

"what."

The girl—Satsuki Fukamachi tilted her head in disbelief at her friend's sincere proposal full of worries.

"Rin, I don't understand. Air...is something that can be read like a book?"

"………………well."

In terms of appearance alone, Satsuki's delicate and intelligent features are not inferior to Tohsaka Rin, but her temperament is completely different.If Rin is a bright western rose, then Satsuki is like an oriental flower made of jade and pruned into petals.

To put it plainly.

In Satsuki's appearance, there is a little "inhuman" alien feeling.

Ordinary people may not be able to detect it, but to a trained magician, the abnormalities on her body are as dazzling as ink mixed with clear water.

The short silver-white hair that hadn't been taken care of deliberately, let it fall around the ears.

His body was a full circle thinner than his peers, his unusually slender hands and feet that seemed to be easily broken, coupled with his lackluster dull skin, somehow reminded him of a gray snake.

The most eye-catching thing is the girl's small and beautiful face like a puppet, and the blunt expression like a puppet, which is difficult to distinguish between emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy.

It's like——to be indifferent to everything around you, even if the world is crumbling before you, you can still face it calmly.

But that's just an illusion.

Because in the next second, the girl grinned exaggeratedly, her eyes widened, and her facial features were all distorted and shifted due to pain, showing a stern face that can be described as "heaven and earth falling apart":

"Karen...Karen, this kid—it's too much, he actually put it in my fried egg——put it in mapo tofu!!! Uh... this kind of spicy and ugly, it's like detonating a nuclear bomb on the tip of your tongue , The desperate taste of piercing the throat with an iron fork, even a saint will lose his nature in an instant, and even a devil will be willing to bow down... I mean, is this something people do?!"

"...No, that, although Kirei and Kallen's sense of taste is indeed weird, but I don't think you have the right to say that others mix ice cream with eggs..."

Rin Tohsaka complained weakly.

(No matter how many times I watch it, it feels so scary... the dining table at Kotomine's house.)

Deep in her heart, she sighed with pity.

"Ah, Fukamachi-san, if you don't mind, please use my fried egg..."

Just between the two people who were facing each other, a third voice came in gently like a south wind.

It was a beautiful girl who wore the same black sailor suit as Rin and Satsuki, but was plumper than Rin and more beautiful than Satsuki.The long hair decorated with ribbons has a peculiar smoky purple color like vines, but it matches the illusory atmosphere around the girl so well that no one will suspect that she has dyed her hair.

If it was this girl—— Matou Sakura, even if she took a step and a field of flowers bloomed from under her feet, it wouldn't give people the slightest sense of disobedience.

Because Sakura itself is like the crystallization of dreams and fairy tales.

"That would be troublesome, please do it."

On the other side, Gao Yue, who had no relationship with the girl's dream, immediately handed out the food box shamelessly.

"Sakura, don't spoil her too much..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Rin seemed to inject a little jealousy into the rebuttal.

"Really, that way you won't get fat...cough! I mean, Sakura, you don't have to take care of Satsuki's curious taste, anyway, the Kirei family will just waste food."

"Too much, Rin. It's not a waste, it's a reasonable consumption choice based on personal preference."

Gaoyue murmured in a low voice with a stern face, and then put the fried egg into the sundae cup as if nothing had happened.Responding to this stomach-tightening picture just looking at it, Rin responded with a capital "噫".

Tohsaka Rin, Matou Sakura, and Fukamachi Satsuki.

All three are high school girls studying at Hokunhara School of Magic, a famous school of magic.The reason for taking such a random school name may be because the founder of the academy was originally a random person.

in short--

This school is built on the magic circle called "Great Holy Grail".

The so-called "Holy Grail" is just a symbol, and its body is a nearly infinite source of magic power.

It is said that the user who is recognized by the Holy Grail and holds the Holy Grail in his hand can realize all the wishes of the world's dreams.

In order to determine the ownership of the Holy Grail, the ancestors of the magicians of all ages did not give in to each other. It seems that a series of fierce fights between life and death have been launched.

Today, however, these are mere anecdotes from the archives.

The killing rituals surrounding the ownership of the Holy Grail - the original "Holy Grail War" no longer exists.Today, the Great Holy Grail is completely under the management of the school. Competitions are held every few years under the name of [Holy Grail War] to encourage students to participate in a series of harmonious, friendly, and sound competitive events. The rewards for the winners are also Imitate history and realize all wishes within the scope of the school's permission.

Through the immersive actual combat experience, students can not only exercise their physical and mental abilities, but also gain praise and glory.

Even the PTA (Parents' Association) can't find anything wrong with it, and it can be called a perfect educational policy.

This is the essence of "JUSTDOIT! The [-]th Hokunhara Green Holy Grail War", which will be held this year and all three girls present have signed up to participate.

...Speaking of which, which idiot leader chose the name.

"So, why do you add sugar cubes to the matcha! And there are still six pieces!? Don't you have the concept of 'greasy' in your mind??"

"No. My brain is in a state of sugar deficiency 24 hours a day, no matter how much I eat, I can't overdo it. I won't budge in this regard even if it is Rin."

"That, that, anyway, it's great that everyone passed the written test!"

Seeing her elder sister and senior sister glaring at each other with astonishing momentum, Sakura hurriedly changed the subject to smooth things over.

"Ah, that's right...According to the regulations, the next step is to summon Servants, right? This is my first time participating in a competition, so I don't quite understand this..."

"Oh, that's very simple~ Sakura can understand it right away."

"I will take responsibility and explain until Sakura can understand, don't worry."

Sure enough, seeing Sakura's troubled frown, Rin and Satsuki immediately put aside their differences in taste, and jumped to the position of "reliable senior".

"The so-called summoning of heroic spirits doesn't need to be considered too complicated, as long as it is 'the character in the card suddenly speaks to you'. After all, the existing summoning system is like playing games, and it is impossible to restore the true ability of heroic spirits. "

"Rin, this explanation is not appropriate. In fact, the restrictions imposed on Servants are limited to the 'preliminary round'. As long as you become one of the 72 surviving people, at least you can display the power of a heroic spirit in the spirit world."

"I know this! I'm just explaining it from the beginning! ——In short, Sakura, apart from the initial written test, the Holy Grail War in Hokunhara is divided into three rounds: 'preliminary round', 'rematch' and 'final'. When all participating After all the participants have completed their summoning, the preliminary round will officially begin, so you have to get ready as soon as possible."

"Well, I know that."

Sakura nodded docilely, "The 'preliminary competition' is held in the school in a free-to-play manner. From the semi-finals, in order to avoid damage to the building, we will be transported to the dedicated Lingzi arena, right? Then, the Servants used in the preliminary competition... "

"It's a defective product."

Ignoring Gaoyue's dissatisfied expression that hesitated to speak, Tohsaka asserted solemnly.

"A total of 144 candidates passed the written test, including us. Even the Holy Grail cannot bear such a huge magical power, so at most it can only reproduce the appearance, personality and some skills of the heroic spirit, and of course it cannot release the Noble Phantasm. Understand. Right, Sakura? In the preliminary round, the Servants are just support, or the competition between our Masters is the main thing."

"After half of the Masters lost in the primary competition, the school will announce that it will enter the next stage."

Satsuki quietly put the seventh cube of sugar into the thermos.In contrast to that almost pathological sugar dependence, her tone is as solid and calm as ice.

"144 to 72 is not difficult for us. The problem is the second round... No, before that, there is one more important fundamental problem."

"..."

Sensing the flashing shadow in Satsuki's eyes, Rin couldn't help lowering her eyes, revealing a little nostalgic look and whispering to herself:

"'A good Servant is half the battle'... right? Indeed, we didn't draw the best cards last time."

"good."

Gao Yue nodded solemnly.

"In other words, the key to victory in the Holy Grail War is—"

"----metaphysics."

The author has something to say:

Alalalalala opened a new pit!I'm back!The long-lost comic!The long-lost style of painting!yeah!

This time it is an overhead comprehensive manga with the purpose of Amway + nostalgia. The Holy Grail War (?) under the original worldview is based on fate and Wenye, mixing and matching tutors and headless bullet knife men. The Fate series has everything from the earliest FSN to the current Fate/grandorder. It just so happens that the FGO national server has also opened. By the way, let’s call for some friends. Welcome everyone to embark on the path of no return for Liver and Krypton!I will add popular science to the more unpopular characters, so don’t worry if you can read them as originals. In short, remember [the super power settings in different works are all explained with magic] that’s right! (etc)

Regarding the image of Satsuki, I first imagined "Like Nagato Yuki", and finally the character set given to me by my friend's artist is Rei Ayanami 23333

Two-no girl (not Wukou), the tone of speech is a bit like Fran, the basic attribute is ky (=can't read the air=God tm upright), very dull and sloppy, Miss Lin is crazy every day.
