[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

"Ha———Chirp!!!"

On the empty and deserted streets of Lingzi Arena Hot Spring Township, Satsuki shrugged her shoulders and sneezed hard.

By the way, because I just fell into the hot spring and got soaked all over—even in the Reishi world, there is no such convenient setting as "the wet clothes can be automatically dried"—Satsuki and Karna are searching After the whole hot spring hotel, I was lucky to find a brand new yukata for changing.Therefore, Satsuki is not wearing the usual dark-colored private clothes, but a snow-white yukata and kimono jacket, walking on the street like a tourist.

It is also because of this outfit that Satsuki's childlike petite to almost slender figure emerges more and more clearly, her hands and feet are hidden in the loose hem, making her look thinner, like white flowers that can be broken by a gust of wind beside the road.Irisviel might have carefully prepared the costume for her young daughter, and it didn't feel at all disobedient to wear it on Satsuki, who was over the age of [-], and it seemed a little strangely appropriate.

Silver hair, pale complexion with thin blood, a doll-like indifferent expression, and a white dress.

In the plain picture scroll made of man-made streetscapes—as if reflecting the fragility and emptiness of the existence of "Fukamachi Satsuki" itself, only the girl was not colored, leaving a lonely blankness.

"...Tsk."

Just a few steps behind the girl, the young man in black uttered a slight staggering sound, and turned his eyes away from this scene.

"? What's the matter, is there anything worth noting?"

Sensing the subtle solemnity in his expression, the silent but keen-eyed spearman turned his head and asked, "If you are dissatisfied with Fukamachi's clothes, you have already said it just now..."

"It's not like that."

Akutagawa briefly denied, "Although Fukamachi's lack of self-awareness is also a problem... But, let's forget about it. If you correct her sloppy words and actions one by one, it will end up endless. I gave up on this matter a long time ago."

"Really? But, that's not accurate."

Staring at the girl's slender back that seemed to show no tension at first glance, Karna defended plainly.

"Even though she seemed relaxed, Fukamachi didn't relax her vigilance about her surroundings at all. In my opinion, the reason why she seemed a little restless was that she was confused and didn't know how to react because she was suddenly placed in an unfamiliar environment. For Fukamachi, it’s probably the first time I’ve had the experience of ‘walking through a tourist spot’ purely with friends.”

"That's natural."

Akutagawa turned his head to one side, narrowing his eyes with an expression of displeasure.

"Fukamachi—she has been living in prison so far. At first it was the family, then the church, and finally 'Matou Sakura'. Although she herself doesn't think so, I can say for sure..."

Without warning, a gust of lonely wind blew through the street.Akutagawa didn't say any more.

Satsuki turned around in the gentle wind that was blowing the corners of her clothes and hair, brushing the broken hair that fell down her cheeks behind her ears with one hand, and raising her other hand high as if to declare her presence, facing the wind briskly. Swing freely.

"..."

Time freezes here briefly.

Even without the color, the gray and white girl in the frame still looks very beautiful.

It's like a flower that is too small to be folded, but still insists on holding its head up and blooming.

"Senior, Lancer. Please go faster."

The flower-like girl waved her hands, and called out in a voice that had no ups and downs, but was obviously full of energy.

"According to my observation just now, further ahead is the hillside with the best view in this area. In the past, in the rematch, supervisors and NPCs would be placed in this position. Some of the NPCs are not very strict, and they will probably reveal information if they are threatened. Just make a threat!"

... no, not right.

If she sewed her mouth shut she would really look like a lovely tweed.

"Look, Akutagawa. Fukamachi hasn't forgotten that she's on the battlefield, and she's always thinking positively about the policy."

And Karna nodded approvingly, and then stepped forward over the mafia with subtle expressions.

"However, the 'threat' is still a bit too rough. Fukamachi, I think we should first show our strength to the NPCs here, and then ask them for assistance..."

...Oh, then you are awesome.

Akutagawa rolled his eyes behind him.

—but what's the difference with her? ? ?

And do you really think this is a policy?This is no better than outsiders who can kill people, set fire to plant bombs (he has done it), intimidate neutral staff, and it is almost likely to be a foul! !

"..."

No matter what, he didn't want to be out for such a ridiculous reason, Akutagawa silently protested with his eyes.

Of course, both the girl and the heroic spirit ignored him naively and unknowingly, and started high-fiving for the unity of opinion without authorization.

"Okay, let's do this. After finding the NPC, first let Lancer perform the trick of 'shooting beams from the eyes'..."

"You can convince them to cooperate next, I understand. Don't worry, I was also called Launcher in the past, and this trivial matter is not a problem."

"Hmm, 'Why do you need weapons, a real hero kills with his eyes', right? I remember that too. It's great to have an agreement, so let's put it into practice."

——Where is the "consistency"?

It's just the two of you racing hand in hand on a track that deviates from the general law of war.Take a few more steps and you're out of the field.

"Ah, senior."

After discussing the plan with Karna, Satsuki raised his face as if he had just noticed Akutagawa, "Lancer and I are going to find NPCs to inquire about the information about this arena, and we are crying to prevent them from disagreeing again. Run away, can I trouble you to block the escape route..."

——Before that, you should think about why they ran away? !

"........."

There is no cure, there is really no cure for this.

If no one complains at the scene, these two people can enjoy playing tricks forever.And Akutagawa's fatal weakness is that even if he thinks everyone present here are idiots in his heart, he will never open his mouth to complain.

So the question is: Is there any way to get the best of both worlds, to stop their stupid plans, without getting sucked into this stupid conversation?

"..."

Akutagawa supported the low fence of the roadside house with one hand, and began to think with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Then he thought.

"Deep Town."

Without any delay, he stopped Satsuki from behind, who was walking swiftly and vigorously: "You once said, 'If there is a chance, I want to taste the freshly made hot spring buns in Hakone', right?"

"Eh? Ah, yes, that's right. I read a magazine about hot spring travel before, and my senior was there at that time."

Probably reacting to the word "hot spring buns", Satsuki stopped suddenly, "Besides, there are wagashi from Sensoji Temple, white chocolate and cheesecake from Hokkaido..."

"I didn't ask you so much. Listen, since there are hot spring hotels in this town, there must also be shops selling hot spring buns. ——You can go there."

"?? Of course that's good, but right now we're still competing, and the whereabouts of Sakura and Ms. Saber are also..."

"I need information, right? I'll take care of that. Fukamachi, just do what you want."

Obviously not long ago I still disliked her work attitude, why do I have to persuade her to fish now?Akutagawa thought.

—That, of course, is because she would be better off not doing the work.

"Ah, oh...well, the hot spring buns are indeed very attractive. I can trust you if you ask me, senior, so I'd rather be respectful than obedient..."

Overwhelmed by Akutagawa's inexplicable momentum, Satsuki nodded cautiously, then turned to Karna and said:

"Then Lancer, I'll go to the street to find a shop. I'll trouble you and the senior to—"

——Don't leave him, if you want to go, you go together!Leaving one is a disaster! !

No, not right.It might be even more dangerous for these two to be together.

No no no, that's not right either.In order not to follow in the footsteps of Kami Kunikida shouting his throat every day and El-Melloi II swallowing stomach medicine 28 days a month, let them go for now.

Just because of this momentary hesitation, Akutagawa missed the opportunity to open Karna again.

Because at the next moment, Karna pointed forward, stared at Satsuki with the usual indifferent and transparent expression and said:

"There's no need to divide into two groups. Shenmachi, look—the 'hot spring steamed bun' shop seems to be at the foot of the mountain ahead."

"Varied……"

Akutagawa was one step ahead of the person involved, Satsuki, and lost his voice in astonishment.

The tourist shop and the NPC are actually arranged in the same location... Could it be that the shop is being operated by the NPC that Satsuki was looking for?

No help no help no help.

Since there is no way to avoid it, at this point, even if we use force, we must stop those two from running away——

"Ah, welcome! This is the hot spring store for the Lingzi competition. Do you need anything?"

Just when Gaoyue trotted forward in three steps and two steps, Akutagawa was seriously planning to take the first shot before she fouled, they heard a gentle female voice like clear water at the same time.

That's right, if you want to draw an analogy - it's pure water.

Clear, transparent, refreshing.At the same time, it is definitely not high in the clouds, with a kind of intimacy that is within reach and within reach.

There is probably no one in the world who hates water, so at least at that moment, in the eyes of Satsuki who was the first to witness that beautiful shadow——

There must be no one who would dislike that beautiful and soft-faced, plump and exquisite exotic girl who braided her gold-like hair behind her head in a long braid.

"Good morning, contestants of Sui Qunyuan."

It was a smile as bright as the morning sun.

"I was summoned in this Holy Grail War and appeared in order to manage the rematch, and it is limited to the 'supervisor' who appeared in the spirit world. This time I will act as the NPC, and you can also call me Ruler."

The voice that brushes past the ear is gentle but still introverted and reserved. Although it is not native to Japan, it reminds Satsuki of the fluttering and ringing wind chimes in midsummer for no reason.

"My name is Joan of Arc. Please teach me in the future!"

Then--

The Holy Maiden of the Salvation of France folded her hands, her eyes were bent into crescents, and she smiled at them like an ordinary girl next door.

Satsuki:

"Oh... oh hoo. Please, please give me some advice?"

"..."

Akutagawa stepped up the stone steps in front of the store one step later than her, and was a little surprised when he saw it, but he first breathed a sigh of relief before showing his surprise.

"...It seems that there is no need to worry about Fukamachi's violence against the manager anymore."

"After all, the other party is a young girl. If it's the 'Saint Joan of Arc' in the rumors, she would not easily bow to violence or coercion, and there is no point in threatening her."

Karna then came over and commented in an objective tone without any personal prejudice: "Also, she is similar to Sakura in some aspects, so she should be able to arouse Fukamachi's good feelings to a certain extent. For example, her body shape..."

"Yes, I don't think their relationship will be bad." Akutagawa said coldly, "It would be better if you didn't speak up."

※※※

10 minutes later・Hot spring shop

……

"So that's the case, I understand the general situation."

I can't see the expression of gearing up just a moment ago. Satsuki sat upright in front of GM Joan of Arc, with her head held high, her chest raised, her abdomen retracted, and her hands neatly folded on her knees. All those familiar with her nature were stunned.

Mu monkey and crown.

Akutagawa swallowed the sarcasm expressionlessly, and reached for the teapot and cups on the table.

"It seems that Fukamachi can chat for a while longer. By the way, do you want to watch TV?"

Karna was fulfilling his duties as a servant, looking back at him while meticulously inspecting the furnishings in the store.

"No need... no, wait a minute. Anyway, I can't do without it for the time being. It's not bad to just enjoy the messy appearance of humans and tigers here. Give me the remote control."

Apart from other things, the interior environment of this store is really impeccable. Not only are the windows bright and clean, spacious and tidy, but also thoughtfully equipped with tables, chairs, refreshments and TV sets.It seems that this year Hokuhara is working on improving employee benefits, even temporary workers in the virtual world.

"By the way, may I take the liberty to ask you a question?"

Perhaps due to nervousness, Satsuki cleared her throat more stiffly than usual.

"Miss Joan, why did you replace NPC here as a clerk? Ah, of course I don't have any dissatisfaction with you, I'm just curious..."

"This? Actually..."

For some reason, Joan blinked her eyes as if she was a little embarrassed, and raised a white hand to hold her cheek.

"...I asked you to do so. Originally, in this 'Hot Spring Village' arena, NPCs should be arranged to maintain the functions of the venue like other places. However, it is rare to be summoned to this special occasion, and I want to do it myself no matter what. try it……"

"Try, what do you mean?"

Gao Yue tilted her head and asked.

"Yeah, what to try? Hot spring steamed buns?"

Karna also tilted her head similarly to her.

"No, no! I'm not, at least I'm not doing this just to eat the steamed buns. Although the steamed buns are indeed quite delicious... Ahem! But other than that, I still have many things I want to try. For example, in a hot spring hotel Work, working at the cooking kiosk, or praying for people at the legendary Tanabata wishing bamboo... These tasks do not conflict with Ruler's responsibilities, and can also save resources for maintaining NPCs. In the end, I decided to do all of them gone."

"I see."

Satsuki nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Sounds really interesting. If I'm not a contestant, I'd definitely like to experience it this time..."

"..."

Akutagawa only felt a familiar sense of fatigue welling up in his heart, so he pretended he didn't hear anything, and turned his attention to the TV screen——

Then, there was a sudden burst of familiar shrill and strange sound from the stereo.

"My stomach is empty~Give me killer☆killer jam!Tonight ~ let me come ~ imprison you! ! 』

"————?!!!"

This sweet sound like the sounds of nature, the tragic pitch without a single note in tune, the violent melody and the lyrics that make the Chinese teacher feel ashamed and angry, could it be...? ! !

Akutagawa reflexively manipulated his coat almost immediately to build a soundproof wall, Karna (to magic power C) looked terrified, Joan of Arc (to magic power EX) stood still, and the only Satsuki who was directly hit by the sound wave said, "Well "Puff"—choked hot spring steamed buns into the trachea, and immediately rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

"Deep Town!!"

Karna stood up, with a rare look of urgency on his face, "Is this... a spiritual attack that transcends space?! It's not good, change the channel quickly..."

"You don't need to say!!"

Having said that, Akutagawa took the lead in carrying out a series of strict defenses on the eardrums of both ears, and then carefully tore a gap in the barrier, and stretched out his hand holding the remote control to switch channels.

"...I, I am still alive."

Fortunately, the time of bathing in the magic sound was not long this time, Gaoyue quickly regained consciousness, and after a violent cough, she slowly recovered her breath, but her eyes were still a little dull.

"What a fuss. Don't say such unlucky things."

Probably feeling that the miserable state was too embarrassing, Akutagawa grabbed her by the back of the collar and dragged her up from the floor.

"However, if you really died at the hands of Yin Chi, I can consider remembering you for a while. After all, this is very rare."

"Ah, is it?"

Gaoyue shook her head, and tried her best to shake off the sleepwalking trance expression on her face, "That's good. If people can remember me more, even if I die...ah, it hurts."

"Say less unlucky words."

"Fukamachi, as long as you're safe and sound. Judging from the song that was similar to 'curse' or 'magic power release' just now, this is probably the arena where Tohsaka Rin and the others are in..."

Karna calmly analyzed the current situation.By the way, the image shown on the screen now is that Jill is driving the "Vimana" golden fighter jet (?) galloping freely in the blue sky. Hakuno, who was clutching the seat, looked precarious; not far from them, the naive Rider Astolfo was flying soaring on the wings of the phantom beast "Horse Eagle". Beautiful backflip - the girl in the backseat who visually identified him as his Master didn't change her face, and even indifferently freed up a hand to hold down the skirt, probably already used to it.

(This, this arena is Sky City??)

Satsuki thought that she was still in a hallucination, so she quickly raised her hand and rubbed her eyes vigorously.

"No, Lancer. Although the nature is very similar, the singing voice is not a reserved skill like 'magic release'."

In response to Karna's speculation just now, Joan slowly sat up straight, shaking her head seriously and meticulously to correct.

"That's nothing more than the mental damage caused by the 'unpleasant' sound, nothing else. Of course, this is even more frightening..."

"This...is really terrifying. Is this the strength of the special class 'Idol'?"

Karna was deeply moved.

"'Idol'? So there is such a class, this is the first time I've heard of it..."

Satsuki clapped her hands suddenly, "Sure enough, it is a lethal force worthy of the name of a special class. By the way, senior, can you switch the channel back? I am very concerned about Rin's situation, so it is more reassuring to confirm with my own eyes."

"...Do you want to die that much? You don't have to force it, it's more enjoyable to die by my hands."

"Ah, don't worry about that."

Joan kindly suggested from the side, "I can use the Ruler authority to connect the images of different locations in the same arena, so that I should be able to avoid the attack just now... Cough, singing. I will start to adjust, so you just change the channel It doesn't matter."

"sorry to bother you!"

After saluting politely again, Satsuki raised the remote control and began to check the current images of other stadiums one by one.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! !Long time no see Edison, but you are mediocre after all, even if you compete thousands of times, you are doomed to bow down under the thunder and lightning of my true genius——Nikola Tesla! ! ! 』

"Hey oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! !Damn it Tesla! !Alternating current is nothing more than evil heretics, now is the time to let the beauty of direct current resound throughout the world, accept it! ! ! 』

...Well, it seems that I have strayed into some sanctuary that mortals cannot trespass.Change the channel.

"Master, master!Wow, I never thought that the destination this time would be Heian-kyo, what a nostalgic scenery.It's a rare opportunity, Xiaoyu, I cook the Kyoto cuisine myself, master, you must taste it well?Oh, Mr. Kohomaru, please go eat the fried tofu skin on the cushion over there. 』

"Haha, I do like fried tofu.If it is bestowed by the master, it will be even more special...』

"I—listen—no—understand—even if they are both foxes, the master will only feed each other with her lovely wife, the witch, the fox, Xiaoyuwo!Right master?Master · person ~? 』

...Well, it seems to be a food + dog abuse (fox) feature film set.Change the channel.

『Really, why was I teleported to this kind of forest ruins... and also got separated from Kimura and the others.Besides Lancer, there is only this smirking Mukuroku...』

(Ah! Right this time.)

Satsuki immediately leaned out and stared at the screen intently: "Rin, it really wasn't with Elizabeth and the others..."

"It's been a long journey, Rin.There is no decent hospitality in this kind of place, so how about a cup of warm black tea first?By the way, you will have to trek in the forest afterwards, so take these two lunch boxes with you as a supply resource. 』

"D-Take tea and bento from the ruins? !Pretty considerate as an administrator.As expected of you, Archer. 』

"Kufufufu... Looking back, it seems like I've been deprived of normal food for a long time since I partnered with that rosy dragon girl.Let me thank you frankly this time. 』

(Huh. That red man with an unusually familiar back is...)

"Unfortunately, I didn't prepare dog food this time, so I can only say sorry to Lancer over there.Rin is a very good Master, anyway, I hope you will not disappoint her talent. 』

"Who wants some dog food?" !Hey I say Archer, you guy just said 'dog' right, huh—? ? 』

"...Anyway, Rin shouldn't need to worry. That's fine."

Satsuki pressed the TV switch without changing expression.

Don't worry... Well, in theory, there's nothing to worry about.

But for some reason, she always felt that she didn't have the courage to face the scene that was about to happen.

(Rin, come on.)

"...?!"

At this time, the leisurely and lazy atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

Karna and Akutagawa turned their heads to look out the window at the same time, Satsuki also restrained her face solemnly, and reluctantly put down the half-eaten tea and steamed buns in her hands.

"...It seems that our side has also started."

"There is no Servant response." Karna listened calmly, "Then, this voice is..."

"Dragon Tooth Soldier, or it's an automaton. Either way is a trick commonly used by the Creation Department, so it's nothing to be afraid of."

Finally finding a legal outlet for the gloomy and murderous aura accumulated so far, Akutagawa stood up unhurriedly, raised his hand and drank the last bit of residual tea in the cup.

"I go out for a while."

"Understood, then leave the support to me and Fukamachi."

Karna nodded in agreement, and at the same time added empathetically: "You seem to have accumulated a lot of pressure. It's good to take this opportunity to express it."

"........."

Akutagawa stopped when he heard this.Then, he turned his cervical spine at a weird 45-degree angle unique to Xinfang Akiyuki's studio, and looked straight at the two with his black pupils that were as deep as a cave, eerie and gloomy:

"One last question. You two, do you know why I'm stressed?"

"...???"

"?????"

Karna and Satsuki shook their heads again in surprisingly similar ways.

"It's fine if you don't know, go away."

The author has something to say:

Xiaoyue oh www, of course she is still dedicated to Sakura sauce, but Joan is my wife, she must be amazing (hey, hey, hey) and her figure really looks like (dead)

This time, every arena has a GM, not necessarily a ruler, as long as the person is good enough to be fair, such as the Iron Fist Maiden, I'm sorry, the red A in the distance...

Akutagawa was once called out by his boss to coax the children when he was working in the manga. During the fight, his subordinates even went to push the baby carriage to take a group photo (no), so he should have gotten used to the funny style of his teammates... It should be...
