[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

When Satsuki woke up from the tatami again, it was already noon the next day.

Drowsiness, weakness in hands and feet, tinnitus still lingers inside the tympanic membrane.But no matter what, she finally... survived that unexpected death concert.

……

"It's amazing, I really feel like I've died once."

After going downstairs and entering the front hall, Satsuki first turned to Atsushi Nakajima, who was in a sympathetic relationship with her, and said, "I didn't expect Kimura-san's Servant to be so powerful that it can make the opponent lose consciousness with only sound waves and cooking. If so-- as long as you use this Strength, won’t it be easy to win?”

"...You are all terrible. Is that what the so-called 'rationalists' are..."

Dun flung himself on the back of the chair weakly.For some reason, this scene reminded Gao Yue of a limp tiger skin fluttering in the wind.

"'you'……"

Sensing something strange from the young man's words, Satsuki asked with sideways hair, "Who else said that?"

"It's Tohsaka-san. She escaped with magic defense yesterday, and then she was so excited, she said, 'Elizabeth's singing is the treasure of the world', "We will win now"... I almost I thought she was hurt by the sound wave, and I was worried for a long time."

"Is it a treasure?"

Satsuki nodded with deep sympathy, "From the perspective of a weapon, it is indeed a national treasure, even if it can be regarded as an anti-army treasure. So, what is Rin going to do?"

"According to what Master Tohsaka said, she seems to be planning to make a recording of Miss Elizabeth's singing...cough, and broadcast it to the whole school through the radio channel. A tight soundproof barrier has been set up around the mansion. Master doesn't have to worry. Just wait for the good news."

As soon as Satsuki was seated, Diarmuid immediately handed her dessert and black tea in a timely manner, and without waiting for her to remind, he added sugar and milk to the black tea that were enough to make ordinary people frown.In the past two days, he didn't have much chance to fight. On the contrary, his skill and quality as a waiter in the coffee shop has improved rapidly—this way, even if he is reincarnated in the modern age, he probably won't have to worry about food and clothing.

"That's right, Nakajima-san."

Satsuki sipped her red tea slowly, and suddenly said as if she had an idea, "Seeing Diarmuid in a suit reminds me of one thing. It's like this. After the preliminary round and before the semi-finals, there seems to be some A meeting for the semi-finalists."

"oh oh."

For a moment, Dun couldn't figure out what Gao Yue was referring to, so he could only blink and answer in a daze, "So what's the matter?"

"...The form of the meeting will be a 'dinner banquet'. Not only will there be well-known magic families in this area to visit, but the school's senior management will also be present."

Gaoyue paused for a moment, then continued in a toneless voice:

"Nakajima-kun, do you have clothes that can be worn on such an occasion?"

"Hey."

——Atsushi Nakajima's expression froze along with the strange sound that sounded like a frog being trampled.

If you want to ask "yes or no", the answer is naturally "no".For Dun, who was born in an orphanage, not to mention formal clothes, even a set of neat and decent clothes is a luxury.By the way, apart from the school uniform, the only outfit he can wear out (and not be treated as a vagrant) is the one that Dazai mobilized all the members of the detective agency to buy for him. A boy who grew up at home.

Therefore, even if Satsuki suddenly said words such as "dinner party" and "formal dress" to him... To Dun's ears, it was completely unrealistic, no different from a foreign language.

"Um, Fukamachi-san. Why don't you go?"

Like a drowning man desperately clutching at a straw, Dun squeezed out words from his stiff throat.

"Look, that... I haven't been in school for long, and I don't know anything about the social interaction between magicians..."

"..."

Satsuki stared at him indifferently, with silent pressure in her gaze.

Cold sweat oozes from Dun's forehead: "... really have to go?"

"........."

Gao Yue pursed her lips tightly, motionless like a stone statue, without saying a word.

"...I, I know."

Overwhelmed by her majestic momentum, Dun unconsciously moved his body backwards, "I will find a way to prepare. But you see, after all, there are so many participants, the preliminary round will not end too soon..."

And then, very early the next morning—

The preliminary round of Hokuhara Holy Grail War is over.

"Why ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

"What's the surprise? It's not Elizabeth's noise... huh! Singing works so well."

Tohsaka Rin was not moved by Atsushi's wail at all, "Of course, I have to thank Sakura and the others for their hard work. The indiscriminate attack during the summoning, the secret activity of Assassin, and more than a dozen people overnight The exhaustion of magic power, and the Servant of Warblade Skeleton...forget it, I haven’t confirmed this yet, I’ll tell you when I figure it out.”

"What? Isn't the Servant of Warblade Skeleton an Assassin?"

As soon as Gao Yue was about to ask, she saw Dun Zheng bent over Caster, who was half a person tall, and asked with empty eyes and an airy voice:

"Andersen. Let me tell you... can you lend me your shirt and vest?"

"Yes, your idea is very unique. ——Hey little girls, take him to see his head quickly."

"Ah, by the way, Nakajima-kun. You don't have to worry about the clothes, okay?"

Rin seemed to have anticipated Atsushi's troubles, flipped her ponytails neatly, and turned around with a confident expression on her face.

"Actually, I happen to know a boy who is about the same height as you. Last year, I was in a hurry to prepare for the meeting. It just so happens that he——Student Wei Gong is an incorrigible good old man. He must be very happy to make the original order I'll lend you the suit. How about it, can it be solved perfectly?"

"Really, really?! Thank you so much, Tohsaka..."

"Of course not for free."

Rin Tohsaka stretched his eyebrows.On her beautiful and radiant face, the smiles unique to the exploiting class are blooming like flowers.

"The rent and my agency fee, Nakajima-kun, can you pay me well~?"

"...Yes, yes, yes."

Dun had no power to fight back in front of that smiling face, so he could only shrink back.

But Gao Yue suddenly realized:

"I see. Is this the so-called 'robbery'? As expected of Rin, I don't forget to save at times like this...I mean, to accumulate savings."

"Yes, miss! With this spirit, you will definitely make a fortune in the future!!"

——As for the words and deeds of a certain blue spearman, it is probably the so-called "helping the evildoers".

※※※

……

It's night, the venue.

"W-how is it, Fukamachi-san. Do I look weird?"

"No problem, Nakajima-kun. I can assure you that everything about your appearance is normal—except for the strange bangs."

"Bangs have nothing to do with clothing?!"

……

Anyway, in the end Atsushi borrowed the suit Shirou Emiya was wearing last year with Rin's help.However, compared to Shirou who entered last year with Saber, the blond and majestic King of Knights, Atsushi looks like a frustrated single parent who can't hold his head up in front of his children.

After all, this "child" is named Andersen.

Because Gao Yue had participated in the show once before, and was born with no stage fright, she was quite familiar with it when she entered the arena.After following the flow of people through the porch, the first thing that catches the eye is a graceful figure——

"……cherry."

Although Gaoyue called out, the girl in the flowing white dress turned around and disappeared into the crowd like a ghost, as if she didn't hear her at all.

"Sakura, why don't you want to see me..."

Gao Yue lowered her head, with a rare expression of frustration between her brows.

"The child must have her plans. Although we don't know it at all."

In contrast, Rin, who is Sakura's biological sister, is much more cheerful and open-minded. This probably stems from her unbreakable confidence in her sister.

...But Rin occasionally has a problem with overconfidence, so Satsuki has reservations about her confidence.

"Speaking of which, Sakura-"

"Huh? What?"

Rin stopped and listened patiently.

"——she looks so good in a white dress, just like an angel!! Angel, do you know?!" ←Suddenly, the excited patient.jpg

"...Sao Yue, you should also check your head."

Just on the other side of the crowd, another young girl's voice, slightly hoarse from excitement, was echoing with Gao Yue:

"My God! Father, white father! What's going on with that white dress?! Angel, did I see an angel?!! Master, I, I can go and talk to that Angel· Can Saber talk, even through the helmet!!" ←Suddenly, excited patient × 2

"Be quiet, Saber."

Akutagawa's voice echoed coldly.But compared to filling the venue—and the heat in Mordred's mind, it seemed useless.

……

The process of the party itself is very simple, but it is just some stereotyped, boring old-fashioned clichés, big figures from all sides appear on the stage in turn, and their names are equivalent to A, B, C, Ding in Gao Yue's ears.As the contemporary Patriarch of the Tohsaka Clan, Rin has to devote himself to social activities with a smile on his face even if he is unwilling to do so, while Satsuki is alone, with no family background or belonging to a specific clan, so To enjoy a quiet time.

No, not only that.

Satsuki, who used to act as a performer, was not only unpopular, but also "disgusted" by many traditional magicians.Even if she wanted to make friends with the magicians present, most of them would just show their eyes as if they saw filth, pinch their noses and hide away.

At first Dun was resentful for her, but to Satsuki, these eyes full of jealousy, disgust and fear were no different from the humming outside the mosquito net.In her eyes, the so-called "others" have only two clearly defined categories: friends (or future friends), and people who don't matter.

For insignificant people, Satsuki will save their lives if necessary, but she is completely indifferent to their thoughts.

It's okay to be hated.

Rather, why do I need to be liked? Can "likes" be converted into money proportionally, or cakes, macarons, and other sweet and delicious things?

Satsuki couldn't understand.

Because she couldn't understand, although she didn't hate boys and girls from magic families, she didn't pay much attention to them, and she didn't seek to communicate with them in order to dispel their prejudices.Her field of vision was too narrow, and she was dizzy enough just to focus on her surroundings.

but……

The attendees of today's banquet, even in Satsuki's eyes, were somewhat "too conspicuous".

First of all, a handsome blond man with a deep silhouette, like a European art sculpture, came to strike up a conversation, and then generously revealed his real name in a few words.It turned out that he was Finn McCool, the leader of the Knights in Celtic mythology who was brutally killed by NTR. Finn has repeatedly stated that he does not mind the entanglement in his life, and now he just wants to have a good time with Diarmuid, the right-hand man of the year, and recall the past. Homecoming, like Grania, Grania, and Grania.

"Sorry, I'm really ashamed to face..."

Diarmuid fled tremblingly, and begged Satsuki not to reveal his whereabouts.

"Why, does Diarmuid still have tasks? It's really hard."

Finn expressed great regret, and enthusiastically asked Satsuki if she had a boyfriend, and if she had time to date after the dinner.

Satsuki: "..."

You Celtics are good at playing.

Later, she learned from the conversation that although he was close to his twilight years when he was engaged to Princess Grania, the Servant Finn is now in full bloom and beauty, so he seems to have stepped out of the past trauma without hesitation. Misty, currently looking for new encounters and love in this world with enthusiasm.

——In other words, the flirting is serious.

Satsuki: "..."

You Celtics are really good at playing.

"Hey... Speaking of which, I can be regarded as a woman who is in trouble. My life has been bumpy in love, and I have made many women cry for me."

Fenn put his hand on his forehead, and sighed in pain, "But there is no way. After all, you see, I am such a handsome man..."

(I always feel like I understand why this person was NTRed.)

Gao Yue thought lightly.

After dismissing Finn as politely as possible, she found that Cu Chulainn was watching the play with great relish, even clutching his belly and laughing.

……Too.For him, this scene is similar to a family comedy among younger generations.

"Oh, the relationship problem is really an eternal problem? But it's not very good, Finn said he saw it!"

"But he said 'Grania' three times in a row, so it's okay."

(Speaking of which, no matter how you sound, it sounds like you are speaking happily from the sidelines? Dear Cu Chulainn-senpai.)

After Gaoyue expressed her thoughts truthfully, Cu Chulainn smiled even more happily: "Because I just stay out of it! It's not a big deal anyway, just relax little girl!"

"Well, that's right. At least for me, falling in love is really not a big deal..."

however--

I don't know whether to say that the retribution is not good or every family has hard-to-read scriptures. All in all, the bold blue spearman soon stopped laughing.

——Because of emotional problems.

……

"Huh? The woman I've dealt with before is here... are you?"

When Tohsaka Rin frowned and asked such a question, Cu Chulainn had already hidden his spirit body with lightning speed, and communicated with her only by reading words.

"? Why are you so nervous. Seeing that you always talk about your relationship with women, if you have regrets in your life, you can take this opportunity to continue your relationship."

"No, well, that woman is a little tricky..."

"Huh~?"

Before Rin could question her further, a voice as sweet as honey came from her ears.

"I seem to feel Ku-chan's breath... Ku-chan, aren't you here? Could it be that you want to play hide-and-seek with me~?"

Rin: "Hey."

——When I looked up, the first impression that came to my mind was "femme fatale".

Soft and white limbs like snakes, long cherry-colored hair like silk, and a charming and sweet smile dotted on the delicate and lovely face.Just looking at her appearance, she might think she was a pure and beautiful girl, but when the woman looked around, there was a charming smile reminiscent of a "poisonous woman" on the corner of her lips.

When Queen Maeve-Rin heard the name from Cu Chulainn, she was not at all surprised.

It is said that Maeve has had countless lovers in her life, and she has played with many men by virtue of her power and peerless demeanor, while she herself is a strong and fierce hero who loves from the bottom of her heart.In her life trajectory closely entangled with love and desire, there is only one man who is not fascinated by the temptation of the beautiful queen, and because of this, she offends her heart, and even invites her own death... As for the name of this warrior, Of course there is no need to repeat it.

Not only "a little bit", as far as the result is concerned, this relationship is really tricky.

"But... I didn't expect her to call you 'Ku-chan'. Maybe it's unexpectedly innocent, isn't that queen? Although she has rich experience, she's still a high school girl at heart?"

"...Miss, why do I feel that you seem very happy?"

(Probably the same as you just now, because the matter has nothing to do with me.)

Satsuki thought.

And - why on earth are you Celtics so good at playing? ? ?

Looking at it this way, there are really astonishingly many Heroic Spirits who are closely related to each other in this Holy Grail War, and the relationship and sexual relationship are shockingly chaotic.Fortunately, Cu Chulainn's other ex-girlfriends were not summoned, and Princess Grania did not become a Heroic Spirit (probably), otherwise this hall would probably turn into a sea of ​​blood in an instant.

"...But, it has nothing to do with me."

Satsuki concluded this in a flat tone.Rin was surrounded by formalistic entertainment, and the two spearmen in tights hid themselves separately in order to avoid the Shura field. She was alone in the sea of ​​people that looked like a wilderness, and even she felt a little lonely.

"Akutagawa-senpai. Isn't Ms. Saber here? Maybe it's also for evacuation—"

Fortunately, she was not the only one who was alienated on this occasion.

"No, quite the opposite."

Akutagawa raised his hand expressionlessly and pointed forward, "She was looking for someone."

And in front of his finger is——

"Oh, oh, oh hoo, angel... ahem! I, I mean this young white Saber, can you take a photo with me?" ← Mordred (helmet)

"Eh? Well, I don't know where you are a knight, but it's an honor!" ← Artoria·Lily

Gao Yue: "...Congratulations?"

This can be regarded as a reunion of father and son in a sense, probably.

"I also want to reunite with Sakura. But she doesn't seem to want to see me at all... Ah, senpai, please use Rashomon to get me the strawberry on the top cake over there, I can't reach it."

"The meaning is unknown. The fruit is the same no matter which position it is."

Akutagawa flatly refused.

"But 'Supreme' gives me the feeling that it is particularly delicious. This is the spiritual meaning—"

The voice did not fall.

Gao Yue saw the black shadow flashing like lightning, and in the next second, the bright red, plump fruit was already glowing delicately in the center of her dinner plate, like the blush on the cheeks of a girl.

"what."

Gao Yue was stunned for a full two seconds, and then she belatedly let out a sluggish cry.

"……I did not do anything."

In fact, even if Akutagawa doesn't explain Satsuki, there is no way to misunderstand him.Because at the same moment she poked the fork on the strawberry, a girl's voice that she thought she was deliberately lowering, but in fact had already been exposed to the naked eye, came from behind.

"Yeah, senpai looks very satisfied. How can you give Akutagawa-senpai such a good thing as a romantic light comedy... It's completely an option to increase your favorability in the beautiful girl game. Well done Lancer, you It’s the only thing that’s particularly good at this kind of thing.”

"Master, I don't understand. If you use a game as an analogy, you have cut off the possibility of Fukamachi choosing your route from the beginning. Even so, you have to set up obstacles for her to enter other routes...Master, Could it be that I misunderstood before, do you actually hate her?"

"How, how, how, how is it possible!! Hurry up, Lancer, what should I do if I was overheard by my senior?!"

(...No, that. Actually, I heard it already. Sakura, do you really hate me...)

Satsuki curled up her shoulders more and more disappointed, turned her head like an abandoned puppy, and cast a distressed look at Akutagawa for help:

"Senior... Am I hated by Sakura? Did I do something to make her sad?"

"how could I know."

Akutagawa's expression looked very indifferent, and there was also a hint of ignorance that had nothing to do with him.

"There's only one thing I know—"

While saying this, the young man looked around with the heavy eyes that are characteristic of caring for (groups of) silly roe deer. His eyes looked from Finn who was chatting up, Maeve who was looking for a date, Mordred who couldn't find the north, and from the top of his head for some reason. Sakura, who was steaming outwards, passed one by one, and finally threw it aimlessly into the sky.

"Spring is indeed here."

The author has something to say:

Spring is here, and it's time for Animal Crossing again... Ahem.

Shen Ye: So you hate me!So you hate me too! (who?

In fact, this text originally had a lot of expensive and chaotic branch lines such as the Celtic Shura field, but in order to avoid the main line from being scattered, it was condensed into jokes in the end!Both Maeve and Finn appeared in the FGOChapter 5 North American chapter. Maeve is one of the bosses. She made a wish on the Holy Grail "I hope that Kuchan will become the king of evil like me" and created everyone's five-star black dog, probably the world's number one. A beautiful girl with a brain in love (.

By the way, Maeve’s Noble Phantasm is the car, what kind of shock (?) for everyone to see at a glance for all fgo followers:
