[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

After a very long absence, I had a dream that I did not miss.

Everyone in the dream is smiling.The father who always frowns tightly, the mother who is gentle and virtuous like a lamb who does not dare to raise his head in front of people, and the [sisters] who always hide behind him and look at the world with timid and curious eyes .

I also know that it is just an unrealistic delusion.

It is true that she did have a strict father, a gentle mother, and innocent [sisters] who were as innocent as puppies and played around her all day long.

The girl regards them as her irreplaceable and precious family members, and loves them deeply and unreservedly from the bottom of her heart.

Love them, and believe that you are loved by them.

It has always been like this.

Never doubted.

It never occurred to me that there was anything doubtful about it.

But unfortunately, for the girl, the reality she lives in is only slightly, and at the same time, decisively different from the dream.

That is, the warm picture of "the whole family laughing together" like in the dream——

Before the father sent the "materials" studied by the daughters as a family to the experimental table, in the short 11 years, it did not appear even once.

……

……

"........."

Satsuki opened her eyes.

What catches the eye is an unfamiliar ceiling with completely different background color and texture from the past.

Different from the cold and dark rooms in the apartment, each room in the coffee shop is under the overzealous care of Fujimura Taiga, filled with a heart-warming rich atmosphere of life.

"...That's right. The Holy Grail War has already begun, and I lived with Sakura and the others yesterday..."

While muttering to herself to explain the situation, Satsuki supported her body on her elbows, and slowly but steadily sat up from the tatami.

Under her own healing magic and Matou Sakura's careful care of the flesh wound she suffered yesterday when fighting Assassin, after a night of rest, the wound has basically healed.Although the body is still a bit stiff and dull, it is mostly just the aftereffects of inhaling the poisonous mist, and it will naturally improve with the passage of time, so that it will not hinder the movement.

"Yeah, no problem. We can fight today too. Before that, I need to check with Rin and Diarmuid about the situation after last night..."

For some reason, Akutagawa found that she was very upset after she almost capsized in Assassin's hands, and ordered her to go back to recuperate immediately, and hand over all enemy attacks outside to Lancer.

Only now does Satsuki know that the "good-hearted man" by the lake is none other than a heroic spirit summoned by her favorite girl, Matou Sakura.But Sakura doesn't seem to be very close to Lancer, so Lancer also abides by his duty and never shows up in front of them, but has been stealthily guarding the outside of the house in obscurity.

(...I always feel a little lonely.)

Even Satsuki, who has always been emotionally thin, couldn't help but have such delicate feelings when she learned this.But she will never criticize or question Sakura's will, so although she feels sympathy for Lancer's situation, it is just thinking about it.

Lancer's real name is [Karna].

From the ancient Indian epic "Mahabharata", he inherited the power and golden armor of his father, the sun god Surya, a great half-human and half-god hero.

What a thunderous name that is.

Probably because of this, even Jealous Ou Ruchou, last year, talked about for a long time, "Why does Okita Souji also have five stars, the panel is obviously horrible" "And even her sword can become a samurai to fight, isn't this a foul referee? "Tohsaka Rin did not object to Karna's ☆5 status at all.

Moreover, when it comes to the "hero of charity" Karna, not only his achievements, but also the final scene that he ushered in at the end of his life is quite famous.

Losing the golden armor equal to his own flesh and blood, he was haunted by curses, and finally even the chariot fell into the quagmire on the battlefield.Under such grotesque circumstances, Karna's short life ended with an arrow shot by Arjuna, his lifelong enemy and half-brother.

There was neither a crown nor a cry of triumph, nor was even given a fair chance to fight, and it went straight to the end in a form that was so blunt that it was almost a satire.This is the story of the hero Karna.

After experiencing that kind of life, it is impossible for him to be free from distress, and it is impossible to have no regrets.Even Satsuki understands this.

But...compared to that ending, the Heroic Spirit's face was too calm.

From Satsuki's point of view, no matter facing Sakura's repulsion or Akutagawa's anger, Karna can treat them equally and accept them with eyes as vast and peaceful as the sea.

"How could this man be angry?"

——it is simply doubtful.All in all, Karna is such a Servant with a broad mind (or rather, too broad).

"So he's the 'hero of charity'. If only we could be friends..."

Following Atsushi Nakajima, this is the second time in a day that Satsuki has the idea of ​​"wanting to get close to someone".However, unlike Atsushi, whom she regards as a junior, Satsuki thinks that she clearly has some kind of feelings that are close to longing for Karna.

In the eyes of others, the impersonal Satsuki may be very similar to Karna.But only she understands that, unlike Karna who tolerates everything, she just feels at a loss, alienated, and empty about most things in the world.

——Then, why do you only like Matou Sakura?

If someone asked such a question, Fukamachi Satsuki would definitely not be able to answer.

Because "there was no reason."

Just as believers never doubt the existence of God.

Just like for Akutagawa, who was called "a dog that doesn't bark" and "heartless" when he was young, Osamu Dazai is not only his mentor, but also the initial point of contact with his life.

——Because of Matou Sakura, and because of watching her quiet and gentle smile all the time, Fukamachi Satsuki was able to live as a human being.

(Speaking of which, Orihara-san once said it too. He said that I am on the edge between humans and [monsters]. Although I yearn for humans but I can't get what I want, I am an ambiguous existence...)

(...Ah, why didn't Mr. Heiwajima beat him to death.)

……

"Good morning Satsuki, you worked hard yesterday. Is the injury okay?"

Knowing nothing about the dark thoughts buried in Satsuki's heart, Kishinami Hakuno pushed the door out from another room, found her standing by the window, and walked up to her with as energetic a voice as possible. get in a word.

...Even so, the girl's haggard complexion and the heavy shadows under her eyes are still clear at a glance.Obviously not assigned a task, Bai Ye looked more tired than Satsuki, who was in charge of the battle.

"Bai Ye, have you stayed up late?"

When the two walked down the stairs side by side, Satsuki awkwardly tried to express her worry to her, "It is said in the book that staying up late is not good for the maintenance of the kidneys and skin, and it will cause hair loss, and eventually become bald..."

"Don't be bald! And I didn't stay up late, I went to bed very early!!"

Hakuno clutched his (still very) thick, curly brown hair tightly.At this moment, through Bai Ye's pained and struggling expression, Satsuki seemed to be able to see that she was bearing the weight of 60 billion people in the world.

"...So, what's wrong with you. Could it be that you haven't come back all night, Servant of Hakuno?"

If he is really disgusted to this extent, it may indeed deal a blow to the Master's spiritual side.

Having said that, which heroic spirit is so awesome.

"No, Gilgamesh is back..."

……Gilgamesh.

I always feel like I heard a name that I can't laugh off, but let's skip it here.

"And then?" Gao Yue asked.

"Then……"

Bai Ye seemed a little embarrassed, "I don't know why, only my room on the second floor is a western room, that is to say, there is no tatami, only a bed..."

"That's it, I understand."

Satsuki nodded with a clear expression, "Sleeping on the same bed with an unfamiliar man, and it's not a couple or business relationship, it may indeed cause insomnia for unmarried women. Especially Bai Ye doesn't seem to have any experience in this area... "

"—Although I think there are a lot of things to complain about in your words, but let me simply deny it here, Satsuki."

Like an old mannequin, Kishinami Hakuno turned his neck bone with a "creak", and cast a loveless look at Satsuki that was infinitely close to that of a dying tuna.

"I didn't sleep in bed at all. I spent the night on the floor. Oh?"

……

"I see, so it's just pure physical fatigue."

After a moment of silence, Satsuki nodded again with a plain look that sees through everything.

"Then, you can relieve it by taking nutrition later, no problem. Speaking of which, Bai Ye, the punctuation you just used in this sentence is really strange."

"...That's right, Satsuki, you can only express your feelings to this extent at most. Hahaha."

"???"

Bai Ye's wry smile seemed to contain an indescribably desolate meaning... But he was not good at understanding other people's feelings, so this time it was probably just an illusion.Gao Yue thought so.

—But that was not an illusion.

— Rather, the slap in the face came too fast.

"Sakura? What are you doing here..."

As soon as Satsuki stepped down the last flight of stairs, she found that Sakura was half-squatting by the door leading to the restaurant with her shoulders shrunk, looking around timidly from time to time, looking as panicked as a pigeon that had just escaped from the claws of an eagle.

"Fuka-machi-senpai!"

Seeing that Satsuki was about to step into the restaurant, Sakura hurriedly got up and took her arm from the side: "Well, please don't go in now, it's too dangerous!"

"...?"

Satsuki stopped under Sakura's strong restraint, but still couldn't help being like her, holding her breath against the wall and poking her head out silently.

"Although I'm very happy that you hugged me, what happened... what... ah, it's so dazzling."

So dazzling.

In a word, it is very dazzling.

Repeat it again, really TMD blinds the dog's eyes.

Taking a closer look, the reason why she feels so glaring seems to be because there are two... let's call them "golden men"... confronting each other in the restaurant.

One of them was a slender, white-haired young man with luxurious gold armor and plain black clothes covering his whole body, giving off a calm impression.

As for the other party, because that style and momentum are difficult to describe in words, in short, let's just call it "the indescribable person who is difficult to describe in words".

After all, he………………… He is really yellow.

At first glance, the parts above the hairline and below the neck of this person, there is only a brilliant golden light that makes it impossible to look directly at.

Although, to put it bluntly, it's just blonde hair and wearing golden armor, but for Satsuki who prefers dark clothes, the overwhelming golden yellow block is almost equivalent to visual violence.

——Yes, it’s Pikachu in human form, this guy.

No, even Pikachu has black patterns on his body...

So is it an upgraded version of Golden Pikachu?

That is Kim Pica.

Having defined the new face in her heart, Satsuki finally calmed down, turned her head to look at Bai Ye who was getting more and more dazed - if she was staring at the double dead fish eyes before, then she has probably entered the state of post-death rigidity now up.

"That is, Gilgamesh?"

The tone of the tablet is similar to a statement, and it is still the same Satsuki style as always.

"Thank you, Satsuki, now your indifference is really my only salvation."

Bai Ye's voice sounded like a breath of air.Rather, being able to speak under such circumstances is all thanks to the girl's steely will.

"Yes, he is..."

But before she had time to admit the relationship (full of blood and tears) between herself and the golden Servant, she was interrupted by loud and arrogant words resounding through the front hall.

"Ha! Why, I thought it was just a silly play among the little ghosts. Isn't there some treasure worth seeing here?"

——It was a sight that sent chills down the spine.

Without concealing the pride and cruelty of assessing the value of the goods, the blood-red pupils of the blond youth were radiating a cold light like a sharp sword straight towards Karna.

"However, as far as you are concerned, you have taken on quite a boring mission... This loyalty and obedience, even this king is stunned. Are you going to waste your second life on the waywardness of little girls? The hero of charity ah."

"Whether my Lord's will is boring or not is not for me to judge. In any case, as long as it is the conclusion reached by the Master after careful consideration, I have no choice but to carry it out."

"...?"

Although they didn't understand what topic they were discussing, Satsuki could also hear that Karna's answer was impeccable as a Servant.

For some reason, after hearing his loyal confession, Sakura lowered her head even lower.If you take a closer look, you will find that there is a lingering haze in the girl's eyes.

The sense of indifference and rejection that emanated from her posture was stronger than any words.

"Sakura, maybe it's my illusion... Do you have any dissatisfaction with Karna?"

"Ah, no, no! Mr. Karna doesn't have any problems, I'm so useless! Yesterday I gave a strange order in a daze and almost hurt Fukamachi-senpai. I have to apologize to my sister and senior sister later. Only then..."

——But when Satsuki asked such a question, Sakura immediately denied it in a panic, and it didn't look like she hated Karna.

"No, you don't have to apologize to me...I should do everything for Sakura."

So, could it be a hero who is not very good at dealing with Gao Jie?Satsuki thought.

In this way, the three signed up together, took the exam together, and got the Lancer together, but only Sakura got ☆5.

(I'll try to comfort her later... The most urgent task now is to shut up that Servant who made irresponsible remarks on Sakura and Karna's master-slave relationship.)

"Saoyue? There's something wrong with your eyes, are you okay..."

Bai Ye somewhat understands Gaoyue's nature of running away when she steps on thunder, but this time it is her turn to talk to her worriedly.

However, before Satsuki regained his composure to reply, the golden Servant's clearer and louder laughter spread throughout the front hall again:

"But having said that, this so-called 'maid cafe' is really an interesting modern culture! It's a pity that there is a little lack of talent. Anyway, if you want to do it, it's not just a well-developed little girl like your Master, by the way, there is also a blonde Wouldn't it be nice to have a flat-chested girl swordsman—"

- snap.

Perhaps because of the close proximity, Bai Ye felt his scalp go numb for a moment, as if he heard the sound of a bowstring snapping.

"...unforgivable."

The low whisper seemed to come from the ground.

Through the gaps between the silver and white bangs, one could clearly see the girl's eyes that were so angry that she couldn't control herself, burning dimly and ferociously like a pitch-black flame.

"What, what's wrong?"

Bai Ye took a step back involuntarily, "Although what you said just now is very stupid, but it's not...I mean, if you are serious with Gilgamesh, you will lose? He is really just an idiot in some ways. ?”

"Unforgivable."

Turning a deaf ear to Bai Ye's reassurance, Satsuki repeated it again.

It was still the same indifferent tone as usual, with no fluctuations, but the timbre was so cold that it seemed that even the air could freeze.

"He... said just now that flat-chested girls are better than Sakura."

"Are you kidding me? Sakura's figure is a treasure in the whole world. How dare you look down on Sakura, but still miss other girls even though Sakura is in front of you, even if it's Hakuno's Servant, it's Hakuno who would sleep on the floor by himself and give up the bed to him man, I can't forgive."

"Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and get the axe."

"Fukamachi-san?!"

Sakura blushed all of a sudden, "That, that, what about the figure..."

"? Is there any problem, Sakura. I have noticed every centimeter of your bust growth in the past two years. It is really a gratifying healthy growth."

"Sister------!!!!"

"You, wait a minute, Satsuki, just for this, just for this? Where did you come from, an idiot parent!! Also, I didn't voluntarily give up the bed to—"

——while Bai Ye was protesting loudly, while trying to chase Satsuki up the stairs.

"Phew~~ Good morning, both of you, you are really energetic early in the morning..."

Rin Tohsaka was like a robot with poor contact, staggering and stumbling down the stairs, almost colliding with Hakuno Kishinami.Cú Chulainn and Diarmuid, who changed into waiter uniforms for some reason, followed behind her——Although she said "I don't know why", but when it comes to the modern clothes found in this mansion, it is probably Fujimura Dahe's interest.After all, last year, Rin's Archer also worked part-time as a chef in the store, and his skills were particularly good.

"Oh, Hakuno-san..."

Rin rubbed his bleary sleepy eyes, raised his head like a sleepwalker, and met Hakuno's blue face that was tired and blue due to physical and mental exhaustion.

"Strange, didn't you rest yesterday? Why do you look so tired... Could it be that you replenished your magic power last night?"

"No----!!!!"

Bai Ye denied it with all his strength.

The author has something to say:

The legendary Shanbaiye (initial state)!He cast a disgusted look at Shining with all his strength (.) Before Rin woke up, Bai Ye looked around in horror and found that he was the only normal person...

Xiaoyue's experience is nothing unusual for a magician...probably.The official novel "Lord El-Melloi II Case Book" also has a description of a magician using his daughter as a carrier to conduct research. I won't talk about the details of spoilers. It's really good to read. I recommend reading it.Xiaoyue and Sonohara Anri used to be considered as patients with the same dream, but of course they are much better now x

Jiyou: Please write more about the daily interaction between Xiaoyue and Sakura

Me: Oh→→→I finished writing, I think Xiaoyue is like a pervert (…)
