[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

Chapter 42 Confession

"Trust me, senior."

"..."

As if feeling relieved, and as if giving up arguing with her, Akutagawa silently looked away.

"Go, Saber. We will deal with it here."

——Then, he accepted Satsuki's proposal with actions.

"Well, since you all say that..."

Saber looked around with slightly anxious eyes for the last time, and then returned to her usual high-spirited demeanor, waved her hand briskly at the two of them and said:

"Okay, I'll just go meet that top student. Master, and Satsuki, don't you both die? It's agreed, we'll meet at the Holy Grail War celebration banquet."

"Celebration banquet? There's no such thing..."

With the end of Akutagawa's words still floating in the air, Satsuki simply stretched out his fist and touched Saber: "Well, it's done."

"That's right, you're still refreshing. Master, you have to learn from others in this regard!"

Leaving behind the teasing words and the Master's piercing eyes full of displeasure, the young and upright swordsman stepped forward, galloping like a fired cannonball, and headed straight for the entrance of the sanctuary.Unknown lip tried to stop it, but was immediately stopped by Karna with a shot:

"AlterEgo, your opponent is here."

"...in the way. You are all in the way..."

Like a broken gramophone, Passionlip's gloomy pupils are unfocused, just repeating fragmented monologues.

"Sister Satsuki's matter... What will happen after the Holy Grail War... You obviously don't know anything. You can't do anything. Obviously——no one will come to save Senpai!!"

"...?!"

The girl's resentment-filled fighting spirit suddenly rose, and in an instant, she pushed back the sharpness of the golden spear.The difference in magic power between the two sides is already clear at a glance, but even so, Karna never bowed his knees for a moment.

He is waiting.

With [-]% trust, he entrusts his back to Akutagawa and Satsuki, who are Masters, and waits for them to create a turning point to turn the corner.

At this moment, Satsuki finally received the signal she had been waiting for.

"The circuit connection is complete. 』

Liu Daoku said to her indifferently in the communication, "To be honest, this is not a good strategy worthy of praise, it is better to say that it is extremely stupid.Even with support, Lancer's mana consumption is still significant.Fukamachi Satsuki, you are really willing to take this risk...』

"I am willing."

Although the words were not loud, they were loud, and Gao Yue looked ahead, without any hesitation in her tone or posture.In the eyeballs that were once transparent and empty like glass beads, now they are burning with firm emotions.

I still have unfulfilled wishes.

I still have places to go.

——So, I will never bow my head here.

"Akutagawa-senpai, I..."

Satsuki tried to ask Akutagawa for help, but before she could speak, the young man silently took a step forward, and seemingly casually raised his hand to give her a "push" on the back.

That was indeed a literal "push" - but at the same time, the black clothes on Akutagawa's cuffs changed shape as if they had life, and instantly turned into black waves that sent the girl forward.The distance between the two of them and Karna, which was originally separated by the entire chapel, was shortened by half even under this push.

(...Senior? Could it be that he already expected it...)

Knowing what a reckless and overreaching plan this was, in the end he also chose to watch it off instead of trampling on Satsuki's determination on his own.

That is his utmost respect and connivance.

(In this case, I have no reason to lose.)

"Declaration!!"

Gao Yue called loudly.Qingyue's sonorous voice reverberated in the sanctuary, like drifting ice colliding, with the coldness of ice and snow and the coolness of water, as if buried enough to wash away the power of a spring.

"Your body listens to my orders, and my destiny rests with your sword—"

Chant, run, shuttle.

faster.Faster.

Hurry before the claws destroy everything.

Hurry before Sakura is completely swallowed up by the mud of despair.

"If you obey the destination of the Holy Grail, follow this intention, and then respond to it!"

Shouting, she stretched out her hand to her indispensable sword at the moment.

"...Sister? What are you doing..."

Passionlip also seemed to be belatedly aware of Satsuki's target, her beautiful face distorted due to unwillingness, she immediately put aside Karna, turned around and swung the pair of giant claws that could crush even rocks towards her.

"...!!"

Satsuki dodged sideways, kicked off the bench and leaped into the air briskly, trying to bypass Lip and reach Karna's side.

"I swear here—"

"I won't, let you go...!!"

With a cry reminiscent of a child crying, Lip hit her like a storm again, "Why do you want to move forward? Why are you unwilling to give up? This art gallery... What's wrong with 'Minecraft'? As long as senior sister If I stay here, there will be no more painful or sad things, and my senior sister and I will be able to be happy too. All those who try to hinder me, just be smashed to pieces...!!!"

(No, this is not Sakura's true heart. Even if she has selfishness, Sakura is not a girl who would curse others like this.)

"... Ah, that's right."

Suddenly, Passionlip tilted his head as if suddenly enlightened.However, her eyes were far from "cheerful", and instead ignited a deeper dark madness.

"Is it because of that person? Because of that person, Sister Satsuki refused to stay here..."

"—?!"

A chill ran down Satsuki's back like an electric shock.

Passionlip seems to change targets out of the blue.Karna was also on the verge of breaking out, taking advantage of the time when Lip turned his hostility elsewhere, it was the perfect time for him to conclude a contract with him——

However, despite this.

As if hearing a call from the sky, the pace still changed uncontrollably.

For some reason, Satsuki can understand.

The black blade condensed purely with magical power cannot beat "pure physical attacks".Even if the key rose is still in his hands, once the spirit body itself is shattered, everything will be over.

"Dangerous, Akutagawa-senpai---!!!"

Satsuki turned her back and jumped out, before the giant claws tore through Akutagawa's defense, she forcibly parried it away with her battle axe.However, the human body could not compete with AlterEgo after all, her arms were completely paralyzed by this blow, and before she recovered from the dizziness and vomiting, she only felt pain all over her body, and her whole body had been lifted into the air by Passionlip's giant claws. .

"Fumachi?!"

"Oops, Fukamachi...!!"

The cries of the two echoed in the ear drums, but neither of them could act rashly.The human who fell into those sharp claws was no different from a piece of thin paper, as long as Lip moved his fingertips a little, he could tear her into pieces.

"As expected, so..."

Contrary to that ferocious demeanor, Lip lowered his eyes and whispered softly to himself, sounding very lonely.

"Senior Sister Gaoyue, I value that person very much... It's fine if I don't save him... But senior sister, she is willing to give up her only chance for him..."

"...Because I made an agreement with Akutagawa-senpai. 'Two people should reach the finish line together'."

Enduring the severe pain that continued to rush into her brain, as if crushing bones and viscera, Satsuki's tone remained steady.She didn't turn her head to look at Akutagawa because once her eyes met, she would reveal her wavering.

"Senior, he...has no attachment to prolonging life, and he has no fear of death. So I think, in order to make him live longer, I should...replace senior and feel fear..."

"...Why is this?"

Passionlip looked up at Satsuki with sad eyes, and asked in a daze.

"I don't understand, senior sister. I can't understand your mood. Because, he obviously never responded to you once? I know, senior sister wanted to see him many times, but that person never looked back ..."

"lip..."

Although trying her best to suppress the pain, Satsuki unconsciously slowed down her expression, "You are not Sakura. If it was Sakura, you must be able to understand this feeling. No, she must have...before I realized it I already understood, that's why I told Akutagawa-senpai..."

——senpai.Fukamachi-senpai.

——You, listen to me.Absolutely don't laugh at me!Well, what about me... When I came home from school today, I saw a person...

The girl watching silently, the setting sun like fire.Warm memories settled in the distant place.

Yes.

It was only trivial things that touched the heartstrings at first.

It's like when Sakura sees a young man running with his head buried in the playground, it's like he sees the eyes of a certain young man looking up at the night sky.

"Actually, even I myself can't explain exactly..."

Saying so to herself, Satsuki turned her head for the first time.

"..."

Just like back then, Akutagawa stared at her with unchanging quiet eyes, his lips were tightly pressed, and there seemed to be no emotion in his abyss-like dark and gloomy pupils.

"After all, like lip, I am a life 'set' by others and lacks many functions. My perception of emotion may be very different from that of ordinary people."

"However, if you have to define this feeling, if you want to ask why I value seniors—"

(...Ahh. I see.)

(The reason why I broke into the mafia alone four years ago, the reason why I ran to see him again and again, and...the reason why I rushed down the steps to hold him, I finally understand...)

Even though her life was at stake and blood was oozing from every part of her body under the pressure of the giant claws, Satsuki still squinted her eyes and smiled happily like a child at the moment when she realized the warmth in her heart.

(I really want to... let Sakura see my expression now...)

Then she parted her lips slightly.

Now that you understand, you have to say it right away.Because I am too dull, it always takes more time than others to "understand", so at least I can't procrastinate when "expressing".

and so--

It's not a doll, it's not a machine, it's not a "guillotine", but like an ordinary girl, Satsuki bent her lips and said with a smile that was about to cry:

"Senior, he... Maybe it's my 'first love'?"

"...Huh? 'CHULIAN' means..."

"It's the meaning in the dictionary, I think. Because I like the senior, so even if I do stupid things for him, get hurt, and get nothing, there is nothing I can do about it. That, although I only read it from the book ...The so-called 'love' should be the one who gets serious first loses."

"------"

The world seemed to stand still.

Time stopped at this moment, and even the sound of breathing and heartbeat disappeared.

"........."

The blood-stained white girl, and the black youth looking up at her from the ground.For a moment, Akutagawa's pupils seemed to dilate slightly, but those slight tremors soon disappeared like the remaining snow under the sun, and only the quiet silence remained.

It's just that the eyes are intertwined——

But it was not the voice of any one of them that finally broke the silence.

"The connection is complete.This is really true, one or two are so clumsy that people have nothing to say...』

The moment the same sentence came from the earphone again, Satsuki suddenly understood the reason for Akutagawa's silent waiting.So she didn't hesitate at all, and immediately struggled with all her strength to free one arm from the shackles of the giant claws, gritted her teeth and released a magic bullet towards Lip's dazed face.

"...Sorry, lip!!"

He couldn't do harm to Alter Ego with his own superficial tricks, at best, he could only distract her slightly.

——However, as long as this is enough.

At the same time Passionlip panicked and lost his mind, Satsuki did hear the heart-pounding cry behind him.

"Declare—"

It has always been only methodical statements, cold comments, sometimes ridiculed, and sometimes sharply reprimanded.This was the first time that Satsuki heard a different tone from Akutagawa's mouth than ever before.

(By the way, it seems to be...)

just like……

It is only at this moment that the shackles of years and years are removed, the only time—or maybe the "second time"—to completely indulge the feelings that are suppressed in the heart.

"I swear here! I am the one who accomplishes all good in the world, and I am the one who performs all evil in the world!"

The chant echoed loudly.

That too was like roaring.

Just like four years ago, on the day when the boy known as the "heartless dog" first learned about people's hearts, the roar echoed in the sky throughout the night.

"The seven heavens that encircle your three great words, come from the wheel of restraint——Guardian of the scales!!"

As if to pour into it the regrets of how many misses and farewells in the four years since we met, the wild dog struggling in the mud began to run forward, towards the dazzling sunrise that he had originally avoided.

running.

Just like the girl before Xu.

For survival.In order to reach the agreement of "leaving together".And also to... at least respond to that ignorant longing, at least let her confession that she tried her best get an echo.

At least hold her desperately outstretched hand before it's too late.

"Respond to me, Lancer. Since you are called the 'Hero of Giving', it is convenient to accept this third request—"

Akutagawa stretched out the back of the hand engraved with the command spell towards the heroic spirit, and the torrent of boiling magic power blew his clothes and forehead hair.And Karna seemed to have expected it a long time ago, just nodded slightly, and calmly waited for his next words:

"In the name of Servant Lancer, respond to this contract. Tell me your wish."

"Don't worry about me, do your best to fight."

Akutagawa said.

"Even some stupid idiot still hasn't given up. Even if I'm smashed to pieces, how can I bend here."

"—Win it for me."

The author has something to say:

Congratulations, congratulations to the male and female guests for successfully holding hands (roll!!!

Because it is a mustard thread, I played a UBW thread with Rin Saber holding hands (Shirou: ???) The "third time" that Akutagawa said meant that Karna once accepted the wish of Sakura and Satsuki. Karna: One Looking back, I found that I assisted everyone for a round, and I was a little happy (not) I may not need to finish the re-contract spell, but I think it is more handsome to read it all!

And a civilization like KY, should I say it's super awesome or super desperate...

Xiaoyue: I suddenly found a big news. I seem to like you. I want to tell you now.

Jie: ...do you have a problem here (but, in fact, you may be quite happy (.
