[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

Chapter 12 may be a dark history

At the same moment · the second floor of the coffee shop

……

"Muku. The third in the Master sequence, the Spirit Division, his real name, appearance, etc. are unknown. There are also rumors that he is not in the academy, but is related to the arbiter of the underground society, the 'Avenger Prison'..."

"Iliasfair von Einzbern. The fourth in the Master sequence, creation department, good at magic is alchemy. As the perfect artificial human of the Einzbern family, Ilya has the power of ordinary people. An incomparable magic circuit, and the aptitude to be a Master is also unique."

"Tower and Mozhong. The fifth place in the Master sequence, also belongs to the Creation Department, and specializes in workshops and doll making. Although he is still young, he has already shown amazing talent in Automata technology. As far as research is concerned, it can be called the "star of hope" that the creation department places the highest expectations on."

……

"Kyoya Hibari, who belongs to the individual basic department. Never signed up to participate in the Holy Grail War, no number. However, it may be the biggest threat to the Master in the preliminary round..."

"Komaeda Nagito, the whole foundation..."

"call…………"

"...Nakajima-kun? If you feel sleepy, you can go to bed first."

"Eh!? No, I'm fine!"

The girl's calm voice pierced the spine, and Atsushi Nakajima suddenly lifted his head, which was about to be pressed against the table.

"No, I'm not very sleepy... It's just that, I memorized too much knowledge at once, and I always feel a little bit overwhelmed..."

What piled up in front of Atsushi and Satsuki like snowflakes was "Completely Declassified!" compiled by Rin Tohsaka referring to the list of preliminary rounds, which he spent an afternoon collecting and sorting out!The Sixth Holy Grail War Master Data Encyclopedia".When Rin handed over these files with a smile on his face and told the two of them, "You must memorize them before I come back?" At that moment, Atsushi Nakajima broke out in cold sweat, recalling the horror once dominated by the final exam.

"Hey, is that a lot?"

In contrast, Satsuki put down the materials half an hour ago, and is now concentrating on digging tiramisu with a small spoon:

"I think the documents organized by Rin are easy to memorize... Clear and easy to understand, concise, and logical... Ahhhh. Well, it's like the cake made by Sakura. It's not only delicious but also easy to digest. Mmmm Goo."

"Fukamachi-san, you'd better swallow the food before talking..."

……

Back to the topic—the two are currently in a staff dormitory on the second floor of the Einzbern Cafe.

According to the plan, Rin led the Servants to go out on patrol tonight, while Shirao and Sakura rested, and the two of them were in charge of the night watch in shifts.The other Masters returned to their workshops due to their "not so good relationship" ("And IQ and courage are not up to standard", Rin resisted to say this sentence), and Dun's servant Caster seemed to be "a bad-tempered Otaku", so the two of them temporarily gathered in Satsuki's room...inspiring each other and studying together.

"Speaking of which, Fukamachi-san..."

Dun temporarily put down the heavy file at hand, raised his face and rubbed his eyelids, and at the same time let his curious and disturbed eyes wander around:

"What is that... behind you??"

Since entering this room, Dun has been unable to take his eyes off the "that thing" that exudes a strange sense of incompatibility, and he will be distracted from time to time during the silent recitation.However, Satsuki accepted the existence of "that" as a matter of course, as if it was just a desk lamp or a trash can, which made Atsushi suspect that there was something wrong with his eyes.

"What are you asking..."

Gao Yue followed the young man's line of sight, her voice remained calm as before, she tilted her head as if she didn't understand why he asked such a question.

"As you can see, it's armor."

—Yes, that is a pair of armor.

This armor looks old, perhaps due to lack of maintenance, the surface has been stained with spots of dark rust.It holds a white long-handled battle ax with a total length of nearly two meters and a classic shape. The blade of the ax flashes coldly, and it faces straight forward together with the helmet.

Seen from a distance, that posture is like a real soldier, standing majesticly against the wall.

"Well, it's just normal armor. Any questions?"

"General, ordinary..."

If this is an ancient European city with a long history, no matter how exquisite the armor is or how sharp the tomahawk is, it is nothing more than an ordinary decoration.

However, in a simple Japanese-style room with tatami mats, paper doors and wooden ceilings, this Western arrangement is extremely out of place.

Like a reckless intruder, it stood out from the quiet and soft surroundings, becoming a strange and strange embellishment.

"I just don't quite get it."

The boy swallowed, lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Why is there armor and... um, an ax..."

——Mo, do you want to come here when I can't finish my homework, Ms. Tohsaka!

Recalling Rin Tohsaka's heart-warming smile before going out, Atsushi Nakajima was sitting on pins and needles, his hands and feet were cold, and all kinds of cruel imaginations full of mosaics emerged in his heart.

And Satsuki's tone, of course, remained the same as usual without ups and downs:

"It seems that Fujimura-sensei brought it back from Einzbern's house. Rin said it would be useful in an emergency, so it has been kept here."

"Emergency?!"

Sure enough, it was going to kill me——! !

Dun almost screamed on the spot, but in the end he overcame his fear with his extraordinary willpower, determined to spend the rest of the night obsessed with studying, hanging his head on the beam and stabbing his buttocks, in order to fight against the majesty of the Great Demon King Tohsaka. Got a chance.

...He just hoped that Rin didn't come back too early.

On the other hand, after Satsuki chewed slowly and enjoyed her dessert, suddenly her eyes flashed, and she pulled out a crystal ball from under the cushion as if by magic:

"Well, the time is just right. The supper is over, it's time to observe the surrounding situation."

"Is this... something like 'clairvoyance'?"

Although he is not good at using magic, Atsushi has also received basic education about magic in class, "So, Fukamachi-san has planted familiars nearby..."

"No, it was all prepared by Rin. Rin confirmed the most likely places in the surrounding area to be invaded in advance, and set up surveillance familiars. We only need to receive and observe the images she obtained, and sort out the information from them."

With the activation of the technique, the crystal ball began to emit a weak and thin light like phosphorous fire, and a milky white mist rose from within——

Then, nothing happens.

"……what?"

This time, Atsushi tilted his head in confusion along with Satsuki.

"Strange...can't see anything."

Satsuki stretched out her finger suspiciously, and slowly poked twice at the smooth and cold surface, "This is unreasonable. I should have made a mistake in the spell."

"Could it be that there is something wrong with Tohsaka-san's familiar..."

Perhaps because of some negative associations, the young man's delicate facial features were slightly distorted by tension.

Behind him, the window sash that was not closed tightly was blown by the night wind, and when it hit the window lattice, it made a dull and dull "click", which was very clear in the silent night.

— No, not right.

Gaoyue raised a finger to signal Dun to keep silent, then slowly stood up straight, her eyes widened vigilantly and she turned to the window.

(Something is wrong.)

(The location of this coffee shop is indeed remote, but there are several buildings nearby, and small animals for research are kept behind the woods...)

——Even at night, right now it's really [too quiet].

"..."

The two were infected by this inexplicable and weird atmosphere, and they looked at each other speechlessly for a while.In the unbelievably thick night, everything in the room seemed to be at a standstill, except for the ticking wall clock, only the white mist in the crystal ball was still slowly circling.

(What's going on outside? I can't see anything but thick fog...)

With such a simple question, Satsuki accidentally—really, extremely accidentally, extremely casually—turned her head and glanced at the silent night sky outside the window.

So she saw it clearly.

——I don’t know when, the scenery that can be seen from the window has been wiped out by white mist.Under the pale background that devoured all colors, the mist, like a living snake, turned into strips and snaked toward the room——

"Nakajima-kun hold your breath!!!"

Satsuki shouted without hesitation.At this very moment, she suddenly felt her vision blurred, and a pinprick-like pain came from her eyes, mouth and nose.

——Obviously, that is not an ordinary water mist that is harmless to the human body.

In terms of its properties, it may be closer to a strong acid that corrodes skin and dissolves flesh and blood.

"Uh, eh!?"

Dun didn't expect this sudden change, but he had some experience on the spot, and immediately grabbed a cushion to cover his mouth and nose reflexively, and leaned over to avoid it in a posture of covering his head and crouching.

However, he soon realized that this alone was not enough to resist the poisonous mist.

Even if it does not directly touch the skin, for ordinary people who lack the ability to resist magic, the certain "magical properties" of this mist still effectively exert their effects.

"Ugh..."

(It can't go on like this.)

Not to mention recovering eyesight and breathing, in this thick fog that continues to reduce life, even the hands and feet began to gradually lose consciousness, as if they were filled with heavy cement, sluggish and dull.

(I will die. I will be killed if I don’t think of a way quickly.)

Every nerve in the whole body was in severe pain like burning, screaming a warning to him.

At the same time——is also relentlessly urging him to make an early decision, pressing | the most taboo switch in his body.

"Tigerization".

As long as he uses the only strengthening ability he is good at, he can at least obtain a powerful body that is invulnerable in a short period of time.

...But, after that, I don't know.

In fact, Dun has not been able to use the talent of "tiger transformation" freely, and has always been afraid of the restless beast in his body.Just when he was unable to make progress and was even on the verge of dropping out of school, he met Dazai.

Dazai says he can change.

Dazai said that no matter how violent and tyrannical the force is, as long as you have the heart, you will be able to find an opportunity to apply it.

Because of that sentence, even though Atsushi was confused and uneasy, and even if he could not escape the cold eyes and ridicule of his classmates for a day, he still firmly chose to stay in this academy in the end.

(...Then, isn't now the "time" to use power?)

The girl who reached out to herself for the first time and said she wanted to be a companion.

Magicians who have never met him before but accepted him calmly, who are here.

in case……

If it was for them, maybe I could barely maintain a sliver of sanity before I completely turned into a ferocious beast——

"Nakajima-kun, wait here for me."

——At the moment when the boy gritted his teeth and thought about it.

From the top of his head, there was a soft touch, as well as Satsuki's indifferent voice that was as pure as before.

"……what?"

It was as if the scalded skin had been soaked in cold water, and the excruciating pain that had been traveling through the limbs and bones just now eased away.Dun didn't understand the situation for a while, so he could only look up in a daze.

"Fukamachi-san, you are..."

Only then did he realize that Satsuki had tightly wrapped her head and face with a whole piece of wide red cloth, she looked like a mummy, only a pair of shining eyes were exposed.

"This is the 'holy relic' taken from the church."

Noticing the bewildered gaze of the young man, Satsuki moved her lips through the red cloth, explaining to him as briefly as possible.

"It's the same with the one I put on you just now. This dress has the function of blocking magic power. Although it can't completely cancel it, it can at least reduce the damage of the poisonous fog to the human body."

"This, that's it. Great, I'm saved..."

Dun unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, "But, what should I do next..."

Although temporarily escaped, the situation facing the two is still grim.

No matter how you think about it, this level of poisonous mist cannot be created by ordinary magicians, but should be classified as a "noble Phantasm" that surpasses common sense.Although most of the Servants in the preliminary round were unable to release the Noble Phantasms due to their ability limitations, some special skills were not included. For example, Diarmuid's double guns were always in a released state-of course, the special effects are really not at all. Just cool.

"There is bad news."

Satsuki broke the silence, her voice was still so calm that no one could tell what was wrong, "Just now, my Lancer fought an Assassin in the school hospital, maybe I can't come back to support."

"That would be bad!" Atsushi hugged his head helplessly, "I can't contact Tohsaka-san now, and my Caster is like that..."

"I don't know what it looks like, but it's better than Bai Ye. I heard that her Servant has never appeared in front of the Master for a second time since she appeared in the world. She said that a bastard is not worthy of admiring his supreme majesty. ..."

"Where did this come from, sir?!"

"—So, right now, there are no Heroic Spirits around us."

Gao Yue continued without blinking, "According to Rin, the Servant summoned by Sakura is quite reliable. But right now, there are dangers everywhere, so we can't let him leave Sakura's side rashly..."

(By the way, there should be a barrier set up by Rin around here. How did the enemy sneak in...)

To the mummy Satsuki who lowered his head and meditated, Atsushi tentatively suggested:

"Since this is the case... how about we retreat to Sakura-san and concentrate on defending? If the opponent is an Assassin who is not good at fighting head-on, he may choose to retreat because he is afraid of her Servant."

"Well, Rin will definitely say the same."

Satsuki nodded in approval, but then shook her head resolutely, "But it can't be done, Nakajima-kun. Defense alone is not enough."

"No... mean?"

"Literally. No, no, I don't accept it."

Without warning, Satsuki, who has always been impersonal in narration, spoke slowly for the first time with an accentuated tone.

"Because you see, the enemy not only targeted No.2's Rin, but also launched an attack on the 'whole building', right? This also includes Sakura. In other words, he or they have already taken Sakura with us. Put it on the target list."

"Uh, so...?"

Dun is still confused.

"So, even if we successfully resisted the attack today, what about the future? What if the other party changes his policy and attacks Sakura alone? Even I can't protect her at all times. What if Sakura makes a mistake? manage??"

"This... is correct, but how to do it..."

Dun was overwhelmed by her overwhelming momentum and was at a loss for a while.And Satsuki just turned her back to him, as if nothing had happened, as easily and naturally as if picking up a knife, fork and cake plate——

Holding the heavy battle ax that was longer than her height, she lifted it up with one hand.

"———???!!!!!!"

"'How to do it'... You said it clearly just now, didn't you. Nakajima-kun, please 'wait here for me'."

In front of the dumbfounded young man, Satsuki looked serene, swinging the long ax as freely as if she was moving her arms.

For just a moment—

On her side face slightly turned towards Dun, there was a faint smile hiding the endless darkness like a flash in the pan.

"It's okay, there is nothing simpler than this. In order for that Servant to not be able to hurt anyone anymore..."

"Just find him and literally 'kill' him."

At the same time · school hospital

"...You seem to be in a good mood? It's obvious that there is such a tragedy outside."

In the ward where the emergency lighting was turned on, a long-haired woman in white stood in front of the window with her arms folded, asking questions in an unhappy tone as if finding fault.

And what responded to her was a male voice as bright and joyful as the blue sky.

"It's because I'm on the outside, that's why I'm happy, Ms. Poe? Oh, to be honest, I'm really not good at bloody activities like the 'Holy Grail War'. Fighting each other or something, leave it to those bloods Fang Gang’s young man will be fine. Ahhh, it’s best to cause some kind of accident and get Xiao Jing involved and die.”

After uttering the above question in a brisk, joking tone, the black-haired man sitting on the hospital bed leaning on the pillow—Orihara Rinya waved the only left arm that was not in a plaster cast at the woman with a smile on his face.

"Compared to this, Ms. Bo Jiang. I took an interesting shot here. Would you like to come and watch it together?"

"what……"

Yagiri Hae turned around, glanced perfunctorily at the computer screen in front of Rinya, "That little girl... I have an impression. She should be with Akutagawa often..."

"That's right, Ms. Hae has a really good memory. 'The vicious dog of the port mafia' Akutagawa, when it comes to the most feared assassin in this area in recent years, he is probably none other than him. If it weren't for the recent Italian Penguin The Lie family has also started to move, and the port mafia will probably take advantage of this momentum to swallow the entire city in one go."

Not caring about Bo Jiang's cold reaction, Lin just kept talking happily.

"Then, the next question is. Akutagawa, who even senior magicians keep at arm's length, why does this kid—Satsuki get along with him normally?"

"You ask why..."

Bo Jiang still had an impatient expression on his face, "It's because she is more nervous, or she has a crush on that man."

"No, Miss Bo Jiang. Although this is also true, the problem lies in a more fundamental place."

As if he had expected her answer, Lin Ye raised his index finger and shook it twice with a smile on his face.

"A large part of the so-called fear comes from 'abnormality'. Do you think that humans are usually not afraid of things that are 'the same as themselves'? Thinking about it this way, the answer is obvious."

Speaking of this, Lin also paused for a while, and turned his gaze to the thin girl on the screen who leaped up to the roof as lightly as an antelope.

Then, from that masked smile on his face—

Slowly, bit by bit, a penetrating cold expression seeped out.

"The 'representative' of the Church of the Holy Church... so you should be able to understand?"

"In that department whose purpose is to crusade against heresy, there used to be a young girl with amazing achievements, who was famous in the underground world for her wholehearted pursuit of 'magicians engaged in inhuman research'. Ah, especially for girls, children, Or researchers who have conducted human experiments, once she finds out, they will be finished. Ms. Boe should also be careful? Although she has temporarily achieved self-control through the safety valve of Sakura, as long as the valve is loose, her nature will be "boom!" Like this, it exploded in one breath."

""Guillotine" Fukamachi Satsuki—well, there seems to be such a name.Before that 'Dazai-sensei' who could never die dragged her to school, she was as dangerous as Akutagawa... Don't you want to pry that valve? "

The author has something to say:

Add more!A certain person who suffered from fractures all over his body at the beginning couldn't lie down, and was about to cause trouble!Dun: Hey, it’s not my Wushuang?

The usual (?) black history of the heroine is actually not too dark. Dazai’s classroom originally only raised hard-working children... Satsuki was once a victim of magic research. Revenge against the entire world of magic and ethics.It looks like a flower in a mirror, but it is actually a Liudaoke!I finally have a heroine who can understand Brother Mu's mood! (Wait) But after she became Sakura Chef, she washed her hands, the world is so beautiful, why should she take revenge (.

PS: [Guillotine] The code name comes from the light novel "Red" and "Fragmented Grimm's Fairy Tales".Of course, Satsuki will also use the black key, but she prefers close combat, and in order to get close to the image of the "executor", this time she uses the ax w
