[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

Chapter 2 The Day of the Beginning

At seven o'clock in the morning, I woke up on time from an unpleasant dream.

Although I can't remember the content clearly, the damp and cold feeling in the dream still clings to the skin like a snake, and layers of goose bumps appear under the pajamas.

"..."

Resisting the urge to tremble and gag.

Open your eyes as usual and look around slowly.

——No abnormalities.

I am so familiar with the dormitory room that even the texture of the wallpaper has been imprinted in my eyes, because of the unchanging rigidity and monotony, I can't help but feel depressed and want to sigh.

(...Ahh. Me, today too...)

Try moving hands and feet that have been numb from prolonged sleep.

The nerve connection was normal, and the five senses were not disturbed.The warm liquid that symbolizes life is still flowing slowly in the blood.

"Kara" twisted his neck.

The place where the dry eyeballs are facing is the heavy door that is painted in dead gray, giving people the impression of a tomb or a prison.

It was very different from the silence of the early morning in the past, now there was a constant rustling behind the door, and there were clearly hidden commotion voices.

(By the way, today is... the day when the contestants summon heroic spirits.)

One of the Masters who is about to join the "Holy Grail War", a girl with short silver hair - Satsuki maintains a flat lying position, relaxing her limbs as much as possible, allowing her still hazy consciousness to rise indifferently and loosely from the depths of her mind bit by bit .

Little by little, I recall the history and reality of the human being "Fukamachi Satsuki".

……

She is the adopted daughter of the church.A young magician who entered the world at the age of 16 and studied at Hogunhara Academy.

The priest who adopted her and tortured her with mapo tofu for several years in the name of her guardian was named Kotomine Kirei.

In order to be liberated from the bright red and spicy hell, she resolutely moved out of the church, and lived in Suiqunyuan (she didn’t understand why at the time) with a bad reputation. Mansion.

Then, she was invited by her unique and precious friend, Tohsaka Rin, to participate in the school's largest event, the "Holy Grail War" for two consecutive years.

Just today, together with 143 other Masters who were shortlisted in the written test, she will complete the summoning of Servant under the supervision of the school, and then start the first round of magic competition.

……

"...Okay, the status quo is confirmed."

Muttering something in a flat tone without ups and downs, Gaoyue just sat up straight, and covered her cheeks with her palms with a "snap".

His thoughts are smooth and his memory is clear. It seems that the screws and gears in his brain are still in place.

That being the case, presumably today will be a safe and smooth day—including the ceremony of summoning the heroic spirit.

As she discussed with her friends the day before yesterday, the so-called "Heroic Spirit Summoning" can be called the first and most critical part of the Holy Grail War.Family background and talent are meaningless here. The summoning array prepared by the school treats good and evil equally, everyone must put aside all external things and step on the altar like a newborn child.

To put it simply, it is pure face brushing.

...Of course, this is just talk.

As early as many years ago, someone discovered that if you carry a holy relic related to a specific heroic spirit, the chances of summoning that heroic spirit will be significantly increased when randomly selected.Although it is not 100%, the shipment rate of this "Sacred Relic Metaphysics" is high enough to make many chiefs struggling in the African continent rush to it.

Thanks to it, every time before the opening of the Holy Grail War, all kinds of holy relics of unknown origin, authenticity and even more unknown on the online second-hand trading platform will be hyped up, and finally approach a sky-high price that attracts Rin Tohsaka to curse.

In terms of its content, round table wood chips or the shedding skin (imitation) of the oldest snake have long been commonplace. "Wang's first virgin's bed sheet" was put up for auction, and there are still people who take it seriously, which shows how far the imagination and arrogance of modern magicians have reached.

In the final analysis one word -

Want a good card?Krypton gold, how can you become stronger without krypton!

However, neither Rin, who worries about the budget every day, nor Satsuki, who was born in a poor church, has the krypton gold...well, the financial resources to buy rare holy relics.If they want to get as strong a hand as possible in face games, they can only resort to other metaphysical ways besides honestly brushing their faces.

"—So, the conclusion is this."

15 minute later.

Satsuki, who had everything in order, was holding a pile of precariously stacked books + DVDs in her hands, standing motionless in the corridor of the apartment like an iron nail.

Different from the usual lifeless and rigid, the girl looked serious at this moment, and there was a trace of uneasy restraint in the seriousness. It looked a lot like Matou Sakura was facing Shirou from the Emiya family next door.

"..."

And opposite her, stood a young man who was completely black, only his face was as pale as paper, and he was considered short in stature for a man.

Maybe it was sick, the young man first lowered his head and coughed softly before speaking.

There was no vigor in his movements of raising his hands to cover his mouth, and his thin back was bent like a dead wood, making people feel that he would weaken and fall down at any time.Then--

He pressed the top of the girl's head expressionlessly, and swung it aside with astonishing vigor and momentum, throwing her head against the brick wall with a muffled "boom".

"……what."

Satsuki's groan|groan sounded after a delay of one second.

"Akutagawa-senpai, it hurts, please don't do this. If you have any questions, please express them in words, otherwise I won't be able to understand."

"........."

No, even if she said "what's the problem"...

The young man named Akutagawa has no personality to the point where he can say loudly, "What do you want to summon with the full set of "Attack on Titan" and "Mobile Suit Gundam"?"

Probably because she noticed the focus of the young man's displeased eyes, Gao Yue's eyes lit up, and she consciously explained without waiting for him to complain (actually, she couldn't wait for it either):

"This is what I heard from His Excellency Mikazuki in the school museum's collection, 'The bigger the knife and the better,' so I think the biggest ones are still giants and GUNDA—"

Boom! !

"...Senior, please don't do this."

"Last night was the eve of the opening of the struggle."

After a brief silence, Akutagawa poured out a voice as cold as freezing rain from the top of her head, "At such an important moment, are you wasting your energy on collecting these insignificant things?"

"That's not true." Satsuki shook her head, "According to Rin's opinion, we were supposed to go to the school library to borrow the original version of the hardcover Mythology series together after the part-time job is over."

"The opinion itself is okay—so, how did it come to be?"

"At first, I was on my way to work, and suddenly there was a loud noise like an earthquake outside..."

Taking a deep breath of cool air as if looking for a foreshadowing, Satsuki let go of her eyes and dived into her memories in one breath.

"I was sent by the store manager to check the situation, and it turned out that a crane fell from the top of the building under construction and almost hit Miss Varona and Mr. Shizuo nearby."

"I strengthened my vision through magic, and found that the graduate student of the archeology department, Mr. Rinya Orihara, was on the top of the building, and his expression looked as if he was saying, 'Come and see me in the future'."

"Afterwards, Mr. Shizuo climbed onto the building and overcame a series of traps along the way with an overwhelming force. Finally, the steel bars of the scaffolding on the construction site were removed, and Mr. Orihara suffered fractures all over his body."

"That posture is majestic, like a ghost, it is awe-inspiring."

"……so what?"

The pitch-black aura surrounding Akutagawa's body deepened, as if to say that it's none of your business.

Satsuki continued:

"Although I thought it would be great if Mr. Orihara died suddenly on the spot, but unfortunately, I had to send Mr. Orihara with fractures all over his body to the hospital, so I missed the agreement with Rin. When I came out of the hospital, I saw the person next door. Mr. Zetian was running naked, so he called Yaoyao Zero for the crime of indecency..."

"Wait a moment."

Akutagawa pressed his pale and slender fingers to the center of his brows, as if he wanted to smooth out the lines of unconscious frowning, "'Sawada' is the surname of the heir of the Mafia. You said you called the police in front of such a person—"

"Yes, I was almost blown into fireworks by his bodyguards afterwards. They seemed to mistake me for a pawn of a hostile family. Even if I explained that maintaining public order and good customs is the duty of every legal citizen in Japan, those young people who lack the concept of the rule of law completely listened to me. Not going in. This is the tragedy of society. I think it is necessary for the law and politics department to add a compulsory general education course for the whole school.”

"No, that's not necessary."

Akutagawa vetoed sternly, "The leader has always forbidden us to conflict with the Italian side. It is a blessing to have a good reason for fighting. There is no need to explain."

At this point, as if he remembered something, he stopped abruptly, and glanced at Gaoyue who was slowly wriggling while hugging the mountain of books.

"Next time you have such an opportunity, please contact me before calling the police."

"I reject."

Gaoyue objected solemnly, and then held up the mountain of manga in her hand, which was even more majestic than herself: "San Zetian apologized for the misunderstanding of his subordinates, so he lent me these manga and DVDs from home, saying that they might help .If I really summon a GUNDAM or a giant, I have to repay this kindness..."

———Did he borrow it from you after a long time? ! !

Moreover, the heir of Peng Gelie, who is famous in the underworld, not only runs naked in the street, but also stays at home watching Gundam...

Is the contemporary old mafia okay?

Akutagawa temporarily fell into a silence where it would be a waste to even get angry, and the two, one in front of the other, walked through the corridor facing the transparent and lacking heat of the morning light.

Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere of the Holy Grail War, the students were particularly excited today, gathering in twos and threes in the corridor of the apartment early in the morning to talk and laugh enthusiastically.

For most people, this "war" is just some kind of special ceremony.Although she couldn't blend into it, it's not that Satsuki couldn't understand the excited and yearning mood.

However, the existence of Akutagawa instantly shattered the relaxed atmosphere among the students like an ice pick.

"------"

From Satsuki's point of view, wherever Akutagawa passes by, no matter how lively the discussion is, it will stop abruptly, just like the radio program being broadcast is turned off by someone.Some people cast vigilant or provocative gazes at him, and more people backed away as if avoiding the plague, leaving a blank space around him with a radius of about two meters, like a scorched earth.

Only the sound of footsteps and the young man's hoarse dry cough echoed monotonously between the four walls.

"...so quiet, senior."

Feeling a little sad and unbelievable, Satsuki raised her head from time to time to look at Akutagawa's thin blood-colored side face.

In her opinion, Akutagawa-senpai—"Akutagawa Ryunosuke", who belongs to the modern magic department, one of the twelve subjects of the school, and studied under Mr. Dazai, is not worthy of such full attention.

Although this person does have a lot of problems, such as bad temper and poor wine quality, if he disagrees with him, he will be wall-dong(?), and he will cut off the entire taxi in the middle of the chase...

Moreover, it is still admirable for the local militant mafia in active service.

(...But as long as you calm down, you are just an ordinary sick and weak young man.)

She thought so from the bottom of her heart.

Fukamachi Satsuki still doesn't know anything about the "terror" in the perception of ordinary people.

But then again, even without Akutagawa, it would be difficult for a student like Satsuki who belongs to the No.12 Department of Modern Magic to earn a place in the academy.

Although they are tacit to each other, the strong chain of contempt between various departments has long been established by convention.Even the most prestigious dean and senior teacher of the department, the legendary "Master V" and "Big Ben☆London Star" El-Melloi II who came all the way from Europe, participated in the official event where famous people gathered. It is inevitable to suffer a few words of ridicule.

Not to mention the mentors of Satsuki and Akutagawa, either climbed to the roof of the building to fly freely during the holidays, or disappeared for no reason, making it easy to find, and was finally found hanging on a historic cherry tree in the atrium, like a sunny day Blowing in the wind like a doll.

Thanks to him, El-Melloi's weather-beaten face looks even older.

Although it is such a useless department, with such a ridiculous teacher and classmates who are tabooed by others, only the matter of "transfer" has never come to Satsuki's mind once.

Apart from Tohsaka Rin, whom she met through her father's friendship, and Sakura, who was introduced by her, the girl has no other friends.

The interpersonal relationship on campus is also limited to the colleagues in the part-time office, as well as the mentor Dazai and the senior Akutagawa.

A small world that can be counted on ten fingers.

Stay in place every day.A reciprocating cycle that stretches a moment into eternity without any progress.

——However, very satisfying.

That's fine.Everything she wants is already in her hands, and she has no dissatisfaction with the status quo——

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet."

The moment he stepped out of the apartment door, Akutagawa's cold voice came from the front.

"You said 'no wish', didn't you. So, what are you fighting for? What are you looking for on the battlefield?"

"Nothing."

While raising her hand to block the sun, Satsuki replied in a voice so clear that it was almost transparent.

"It's just because everyone participated, and I don't want to be excluded. Besides, I swore to protect Sakura since I was a child-the smile of Sakura I saw at that time was the only thing that made me feel 'beautiful'."

"For that smile, I will accompany her wherever she goes."

"........."

As if shocked by this overly stupid answer, Akutagawa left several seconds blank before answering.But that surprise did not turn into contempt, but was replaced by a three-point relief and a little rare and kind irony.

"In other words, if that 'holy grail' falls into your hands...is it just a complete waste of resources?"

"of course not."

Unexpectedly, Gao Yue interrupted him loudly.

"Anyway, I was born in a church. Waste, violations, and cutting corners are all contrary to my honest and upright life rules. Although I still can't find a goal that needs to rely on miracles, maybe one day in the future there will be a turning point, and I will Just like everyone else, I can have my own wishes.”

"So, for that 'might come' someday—"

The girl raised her head to face the high clear sky, her glass bead-like transparent and empty eyeballs shone brightly for the first time, and loudly told her wish entrusted to the Holy Grail.

"——I want to make a wish to get money that I can't use up in my life. Because the vast majority of wishes in the world can be realized with money!!"

Akutagawa: "........."

thump.

"Senior, why did you hit me again? It really hurts, please stop."

The author has something to say:

Question: How can Orihara Rin not make trouble?

Answer: Let him have a whole body fracture at the beginning (.

— Just kidding, he will still make trouble in the future.

The school setting refers to the clock tower. Of course, the standard is not that high. The common point is that the head of the department, Weber, has a stomachache every day. The specialty of this school is that Mr. Dazai commits suicide every day... Even if you say to me, "Can this kind of school really continue?" I won't listen either!
