[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

In the "second half" of that night, in the end, they couldn't have a good fight without any worries.The reason is very simple - because Sakura panicked in the face of the sudden turn of events, she accidentally missed her Servant's mouth and made him speak again.

And Karna's speech is no different from usual, it is sincere and to the point, and it is impeccable to anyone's ears:

"So what now, Master. The advantage that was maintained by our side until a moment ago has been shaken by the arrival of reinforcements from the other side...Are you still not going to change the order?"

"You, what are you talking about, Lancer!"

Sakura couldn't help raising her voice, and her porcelain-like cheeks flushed with excitement, "We haven't lost yet. As long as you fight hard, Akutagawa-senpai and his Servants are not a problem, right? Miss Battle Blade Fei and I After putting in so much effort, I managed to attract my senior sister, how could I just..."

Ms. Blade—I don't know her identity, but this is probably the name of Sakura's accomplice.

Trying to suppress the quiet and high anger in her heart, Satsuki said silently.

"No, I'm not without the confidence to win."

On the other hand, Karna shook his head calmly, as if comforting a wayward crying child.

"But Master—with a hero like Saber as an opponent, even I can't take the enemy's head in just a few moves. During this period, who can protect your safety?"

"What protection, I myself..."

Sakura clenched the handle of the sin song knife tightly with one hand, raised her head and looked directly at the heroic spirit not to be outdone: "Could it be, Lancer, do you think I'm weaker than Akutagawa-senpai?" WWw. [-]Yue.ORG

"..."

As if feeling incredible from the bottom of his heart, Karna slightly widened his eyes:

"—Of course. I just want to ask you, Master, don't you even notice such an obvious gap in strength?"

cherry:"……???!!!"

"So, could it be that the battle with Fukamachi just now made you overestimate your ability... Well, it's understandable."

Karna was thoughtful, "But Master, Fumachi was in a state of confusion when he fought with you, so I'm afraid it can't be used as a suitable reference object. If Fumachi goes all out, you will probably be at a disadvantage, and within a quarter of an hour you will be at a disadvantage. Will be crushed by her ax blade."

cherry:"………………"

"It is true that the demon sword seems to give you experience and skills, and forcefully improve your strength, but after all, it does not belong to the Master himself. In contrast, Akutagawa has trekked through the quagmire of blood and killing so far. It is a pity, Master, you The self-confidence that thinks you can match the opponent is no different from the bravery of a newborn calf in my opinion-although the spirit is commendable, it is far from the real 'power'. You should reconsider."

"……enough!!"

Sakura stomped her feet unbearably, and her voice was filled with the shrill cry of a dying animal: "Lancer, which side are you on?!"

"Physically speaking, I'm on your side... Well, I always feel like I've said similar things before."

The look of astonishment on Karna's eyebrows became more intense (obviously, he didn't understand the relationship between Sakura's question and his speech), but the speed of his speech did not slow down at all:

"Speaking of which, Master, no matter what my position is, the fact that you are weaker than Fukamachi and Akutagawa now, and your chances of winning in a confrontation will not change. You should at least recognize this."

"...Okay, don't say anything else. That's it for today. I've had enough."

——Thus, this became the last sentence left by Tong Ying at that night.

"Without fighting, did you resolve a fight to the death with just words?"

Mr. An, who witnessed the whole process, said with emotion, "As expected of a rare hero...Karna, what a terrifying man."

Mr. An's Master: "Hahahahaha."

……

After such an episode, everyone somewhat understood the reason why Sakura was estranged from Karna——for a puberty girl like Sakura Matou who was trembling, shy and introverted, and desperately buried all kinds of delicate feelings in her heart, Karna's Loyalty and integrity are too dazzling.This pair of master and slave can be said to be fatally incompatible.

how to say……

Faced with this situation, probably even Akutagawa couldn't get motivated.

So in order to expel excess energy, which can be regarded as compensation for missing the hunt tonight, he decided to invite (?) Atsushi Nakajima to play Battle Royale in the underground maze in the second half of the night.By the way, "escape and kill" is of course an abbreviation for "if you can't escape or you will be killed".

Don: "Eh.—Eh???"

※※※

After finishing the post-processing matters, sending the stunned students back to the ground one by one, and asking Komaeda to contact the hospital, the eastern sky has revealed a pearly dawn.The sweat soaking through his clothes was blown by the cool morning breeze, even Satsuki felt a chill.

In any case, they completely smashed Mukuro's workshop that night, and rescued the students who suffered from this innocent disaster, it was a worthwhile trip.

"I, I'm actually still alive...but as long as Fukamachi-san and everyone else are safe..."

Beside her, Atsushi Nakajima flung himself into a "big" character on the grass, and seemed unable to stand up for a while.

"It's really worthless. The physical laborers actually put on such a weak and embarrassing appearance, how can people pick up their pens?"

There was a sound of "tsk tut" in Andersen's mouth, and the pungent and merciless criticism was beyond words.But unexpectedly, Satsuki was able to capture a little concern from his bad attitude as usual.

And his subsequent words also verified this point:

"Anyway, Master, although your appearance of running in the maze is in a mess, there is nothing lacking in it. Well, at least it can be regarded as a boy who started the kingly way of the story—whether it will be reduced to mediocrity or not, It's enough material for a book."

"what……?"

Dun barely opened his eyelids that were drooping due to lack of sleep, and looked up in a daze, "Caster, you mean..."

"Is there even a need to ask? Anyway, listen carefully to what people say, Master, you only have a few pitiful advantages of being pure, not admitting defeat, and being good at listening."

"Thank you, thank you..."

"...I see. Do you take this as a compliment? It seems that your past life must have been quite miserable. If you want to compare it, you are like a gray duckling trapped in a narrow pond."

Leaving aside this sharp but non-sarcasm evaluation, Andersen turned aside his strange face that was both childish and old-fashioned, and the boss said reluctantly.

"However... even a duckling immersed in inferiority complex and frustration, as long as he has the ambition to bid farewell to the pond and soar high in the vast sky, it is worth writing for a writer."

"So……!!"

Somewhat aware of Caster's gentle connotations of beating around the bush, Dun's tired eyes lit up again, "Caster, are you willing to—"

"Ahhh. Facing the insurmountable high wall but not falling down, knowing nothing about the future but not choosing to protect oneself wisely, even though you have suffered unreasonable and cruel treatment, you still value others more than yourself. How stupid, how stupid Stubbornness! Just this time, I will admit that you are the protagonist of my new work, Atsushi Nakajima. The useless third-rate Servant Andersen——In the future battles, just look forward to the sway of my evil pen. ...Of course, I don’t know how to fight at all! You must protect me, Master!!”

"...Why did you insist on adding the last sentence?!!"

"........."

Although the rare harmonious atmosphere was completely destroyed by the last sentence, in Satsuki's view, this scene is like the first ray of spring breeze after a long and severe winter, with a kind of healing tenderness.

As Andersen said - each other's thoughts passed by, the truth was unclear, and they still knew nothing about the future.The fact that she lost Sakura and Karna only temporarily (she firmly believed that it was only temporarily) became a heavy burden on her heart.

Can we really defeat Karna?

As long as Sakura is defeated in the Holy Grail War, will she come back to us?

……

All kinds of thoughts entangled in my heart, like silk threads tightened layer by layer, and every time I think about it, it will cause dull colic.

"..."

Satsuki was originally not good at thinking about emotions and values, and even less good at observing words and emotions, and guessing people's hearts.For her, the current complicated and confusing situation is too harsh.

(Sure enough, I should discuss it with Rin...)

——Just as she was thinking about it.

"Fukamachi. Your phone number."

Akutagawa's indifferent voice lacking intimacy sounded from behind, and at the same time, he threw the phone at her involuntarily.

"……Find me?"

In other words, the reason why Atsushi was able to save his life just now when his physical strength was about to run out was because Akutagawa's cell phone rang... Who could it be?

It must be a very important person who can make Akutagawa give up the daily task of "bullying juniors (0/1)".

"It's Mr. Chuya."

Akutagawa calmed down in a rare way, "It is also thanks to his help that I can get the floor plan this time. Since we haven't seen each other for a long time, he seems to have something to say to you."

"Eh, ah. Okay."

Satsuki hastily picked up the phone.

Akutagawa's stern and respectful tone when referring to "Mr. Chuya" sounds like two different people, and this is the same for Satsuki.

For them, Chuya Nakahara—one of the five major cadres of the active port mafia and former partner of Osamu Dazai—is both a senior and half guardian of his career in the world, and Nakahara is different from Dazai. A straightforward young man with a style (?), strong but not savage, seemingly rude but unexpectedly careful and affectionate.Therefore, for this man, Satsuki and Akutagawa have the same respect beyond status.

In short, "Mr. Chuya" is a very reliable person.

That's right, the most reliable thing is that he won't casually enter the water or jump off a building...

"——Hey Fukamachi, I heard that Dazai blew up another classroom today? All he does is make women cry. Why doesn't he go to heaven?"

... More than not.

He has a deep hatred for a frequent visitor to the water, probably.

"Mr. Chuya."

Gao Yue tried hard to hold the warm metal block in her hand, "I am really grateful for your help today. I'm sorry, this time it's all because of my lack of consideration..."

"Ah——Okay, okay, I didn't come here to hear your apology, don't make it look like I bullied the little girl. Anyway, is that guy Dazai playing some tricks? I heard Akutagawa about the situation, don't say yes You, it seems that everyone has been put together by him."

As in memory, the wording is extensive and unconstrained, but it will not make people feel harsh, but can obtain a relaxed tone.Maybe this is the charm of a decent man.

"Then, Mr. Chuya is for..."

Satsuki asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, just treat it as my meddling. It's not my turn to say it—but look, you don't have anyone around you who can talk well, right? I can't understand Dazai's virtues very well, Akutagawa Well...although he is very simple and not bad-minded, but his temper is too difficult to deal with, and he won't talk about anything directly in his heart. Why is he only like Dazai in this way."

"Mr. Nakaya, your voice seems to be too loud. Akutagawa-senpai is coughing violently with his head down. Maybe he was stimulated."

"Don't worry about him, it's probably the so-called shyness. He's still like this no matter how old he is. Really, rather than letting Akutagawa take care of you, it's better to ask you to take care of our young people..."

"Mr. Nakaya, Akutagawa-senpai is staring at me with extremely menacing eyes, and asked me why I didn't press you to get to the point. By the way, the so-called 'question' refers to the kind of knife placed on my neck... Although I don't think he should be cut down, Nakajima-kun is very angry about this, and they seem to be fighting."

"Look? After just a few words, he started to lose his temper. Anyway, I have to teach him. I really hope that Dazai can teach him a little bit of adult calmness."

Chuya's tone sounded extremely helpless, but it was also different from simple disgust or boredom.For example, when parents complain to others, "Why is my child so uneasy", they will mostly use this tone.

Then, in such a calm and tolerant tone like a parent, Chuya said:

"—Fukamachi, do you still have doubts? About the future."

"what."

Satsuki obviously felt her cheeks twitch, and her reply was a few beats slower due to hesitation.

"...Yes. I think there is something hidden behind Sakura's change, and I don't know anything about it. Putting aside other things, I admit that this 'unknown' makes me feel very anxious."

"Okay, then I'll ask another question."

Chuya took the conversation bluntly, "Fukamachi, do you know who the enemy in front of you is?"

"This... I know for now. The opponent is a character named 'Zhan Ren Mu', and Mr. Orihara seems to be involved in it..."

"Okay. So, do you have a sword against it?"

Zhong also asked again.

"As for axes and guns, then there are..."

"Anyway, it's fine to have a weapon. ——Let me tell you, Fukamachi. Isn't that all right?"

"……what?"

Gao Yue suddenly stopped, and unconsciously blinked her eyes several times, "'That's good' means..."

"It means literally. You have enemies in front of you that are not pleasing to the eye, and you also have weapons in your hands that can beat them to pieces. If you don't defeat them, you can't reach the so-called 'inside story'. If this is the case, what else is there to think about? "

"………………what."

Turns out, that's what happened.

If you don't know the truth, get to the bottom of it.

If the road ahead is blocked, smash it with a knife.

If it were to be the enemy of the world for the only precious thing, then even the sky would dare to overthrow it with one hand.

Fukamachi Satsuki has always been [such a character].

So you have to move forward—for now, just focus on moving forward.

Worry is meaningless, and worry and suspicion are nothing but mediocrity.From the very beginning, there was only one path to the desired ending before her.

"Win. There is no need to talk about any ideas on the battlefield, and the winner naturally has the right to ask questions."

"If you have any doubts, just ask them after you win."

The short words sounded like they contained unparalleled strength.I don't know when, the morning wind blowing towards her face no longer made Gaoyue feel cold.

"Mr. Chuya...I'm not good at communication and expression, and I don't know how to respond to this situation. Anyway, thank you very much."

"They say I'm just meddling in my own business."

There was a smile in the tough and open-minded voice, "Akutagawa is probably thinking about something similar. But wait for him to speak, maybe the No. 18 Holy Grail War is over."

"It is indeed possible—ah, Akutagawa-senpai, he stabbed in. Rashomon really stabbed in my neck just now. Please restrain yourself, we didn't speak ill of you."

anyway.

Why is such a straightforward and dazzling person partnered with Dazai who is like the incarnation of the word "distortion"... Satsuki felt that she could not understand this question even if she spent her whole life.

In short, thanks to Chuya, the last bit of confusion in her heart disappeared.

Both the enemy and the target are clear, and the road ahead is one that has no branching roads.Although she will inevitably encounter many dangers in the future, she is not alone—at least the Fukamachi Satsuki today is different from the past. Apart from the bloody struggle, there is still a place where she can return home with peace of mind.

Don't worry, go home...

...it should be like this...

However, just as a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of Satsuki's mouth, and she stepped into the vicinity of the cafe with Atsushi, a high-pitched noise that could shatter the cochlea suddenly sounded above their heads.

"———???!!!!!!"

No, it can't be described just by "noise"——

Briefly, sum it up in one sentence.

The lethality caused by that sound to the human body is like [rolling back and forth on the nail board after pulling out the brain].

The cafe bathed in the soft morning light has also been reduced to a magic den because of this uninvited background sound.All human beings who entered its AOE range, except Akutagawa who built a soundproof barrier with Rashomon in time, Satsuki and Atsushi were caught off guard, and even more exhausted, they all fell down under the cherry tree and lost consciousness on the spot ( Of course, Akutagawa left the two of them without hesitation and left), and was not discovered by Tohsaka Rin who was out looking for until Sangan Higami.

...However, it cannot be blamed for Akutagawa's ruthlessness.

After all, because of the noise—it turned out to be the Servant of Liudao Mukuro, Lancer Elizabeth Bathory sang heartily to welcome everyone back——Akutagawa's cell phone couldn't bear it during the call, and died with a zier.

"That's what Mr. Dazai left for me."

"Mr. Dazai rarely gives me anything."

"I have used it for five years."

For the next month, Satsuki could hear these words every time she met him.

"But that's an elimination machine on the verge of being scrapped"... Although Satsuki tried to point this out, the result was that the number of times she was beaten increased.Until Dazai buys Akutagawa a new phone, she feels like she might have to keep listening.

Incidentally--

The reason why Rokudo Mukuro failed to stop Elizabeth from singing was because he accidentally drank the coffee brewed by Elizabeth during the conversation with Rin. His sense of taste suffered the same impact as Satsuki and Atsushi's sense of hearing, and he might not be able to recover within a month. Heroic.

I'm sorry, Mr. Chuya.Satsuki thought.It's rare that you even came here to encourage me.

I think the Servant who can finally win the Holy Grail...may be Elizabeth.
