[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

"In the name of Servant Lancer, respond to this contract."

That scene was like——"the reappearance of the myth".

There were no scars on the shining gun blade and armor, and every time the gun was swung, a fierce and unparalleled gust of wind swept through.His dignified face and resolute gaze are like gods, but if you look closely, they are just as steady and peaceful as a young man next door you can see everywhere.

That is Karna.

That is Heroic Spirit.

Coming from the other side of time and space that was originally impossible to touch, it is the embodiment of human longing and dreams, the embodiment of miracles.At this moment, with full support and unreserved fighting spirit, the hero was finally able to step on the battlefield again, and the strongest character in the Holy Grail Wars of all ages came here.

(...Well, I feel relieved in this way.)

Perhaps because of the sudden relief, the tiredness caused by pain and blood loss surged up.Satsuki knew that there was no need to worry about the scene, so she no longer tried her best to support it, but quietly took in Karna's dazzling figure like the rising sun——and Akutagawa's anxious gaze from behind him, which was cast straight towards her , cherished in my heart.

(I'm begging you for everything. I hope that I can see you at the first sight when I wake up...)

Then, she gradually relaxed her consciousness, which was already as thin as a gossamer, and let it sink into the thick and peaceful darkness.

……

……

……

It was a long-lost sound sleep.

Ever since she was rescued, Satsuki has not been able to get rid of the entanglement of the past that follows her everywhere.Even if the emptiness can be filled with reason when awake, the decayed face of a family of elders like dead wood and the weak and helpless wailing of children will still come to dreams frequently in the middle of the night, like a bitter tide above the head, or like The piercing wind that penetrates everywhere in winter.

But this time, even though she was still surrounded by the waves and the wind, Satsuki miraculously didn't feel cold.The night is still dark, but it is no longer a sharp knife approaching the throat inch by inch, but a stable cradle that cannot be overturned by any stormy waves.

Groundlessly, Satsuki understood the reason for this change.

(...Ah. I know. The reason why the darkness is no longer annoying must be because...)

(Because someone in this darkness has been, has been holding my hand—)

……

"..."

Good sleep is always short, and awakening always comes suddenly when the dream is in full swing.When Satsuki opened her eyes again, she felt the softness and warmth of her palm with a little bit of reluctance, and quickly calmed down, turning her head with a little indescribable sense of expectation:

"study……"

"Ah, Satsuki, are you awake? As long as you're fine. Really, you're too messy."

——Beside her, the girl in red with ponytails showed a relaxed and bright smile, and let go of the hand that was holding her tightly.

"..."

Satsuki blinked her sleepy eyes vigorously, then drooped the corners of her mouth, and quickly returned to her usual expressionless and indifferent demeanor.

"...Oh. So it's Rin."

"What's 'oh', 'oh'?!"

This pierced the hornet's nest perfectly, Rin Tohsaka suddenly raised his voice, and the two ponytails jumped up as if electrified:

"I said, why do you have such an open face of disappointment! You are so rude, Gaoyue, do you know how much work it took me and Archer to escape? Not only that, but we also helped your family's Dilu Heartthrob Mudo got out of the siege, and after AlterEgo retreated, I went back and gave you and Akutagawa-kun emergency treatment?! But what's the matter with your attitude, I'm really sorry. I!!"

"...No, that, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. Please, Rin."

Satsuki replied in a flat tone.

In the face of Tohsaka, Lamo, and Rin's continuous complaints and preaching, it is better to bow down frankly.Anyway, Rin wouldn't be seriously angry about such a trifle.

"By the way, how long have I been asleep? How is it now?"

Having said that, the question that should be asked is still unavoidable, "Miss Saber, Karna, and Akutagawa-senpai—"

"Well, anyway, you are worried about their whereabouts, right?"

Rin Tohsaka flicked his long hair casually, showing his wisdom and generosity with his actions, "Don't worry, everyone is safe and well, and they are resting at the moment. Saber resisted Arjuna beautifully." The attack; Lancer was completely overwhelmed, but unfortunately, that super-busty Sakura was too timid, and ran away like a small animal when she was defeated. Ah, but Akutagawa-kun..."

"What's wrong, Akutagawa-senpai?"

Gao Yue straightened her back and subconsciously sped up her speech, "Could it be that there is a problem with the supply of magic power——"

"There is no 'could', isn't this nonsense."

Rin snorted as if complaining, "What are you all thinking about? The safe area must keep a minimum reserve of magic power, and the excess is minimal, huh? Although it is better than nothing, most of the loss will still fall on your own heads It’s a blessing not to be turned into a mummy on the spot.”

"No, it shouldn't be a big problem for me."

Gao Yue shook her head to correct, while biting her lips unwillingly.

"Although the senior is powerful, he has never been good at physical strength and magic power. If I hadn't missed it, he would not have made a contract with Karna instead of me..."

"Yeah, and that's how it turned out."

Rin spread his hands helplessly, "Although he himself didn't say a word, Akutagawa-kun's lack of magic power is quite serious right now. Maybe he's barely able to stay awake."

"...How could it be. But, Akutagawa-senpai must still want to continue fighting..."

"That depends on whether you can fight. But... well, it's not impossible..."

For some reason, Rin suddenly looked away as if he couldn't speak, and his words became a little vague: "That's it, that. If you are also a magician, Satsuki, you don't need me to remind you? For a magician,' The part that is not enough in itself can be obtained from the outside'..."

"Oh, that's it."

Satsuki nodded knowingly, and then read the common sense of being a "magician" aloud in a smooth and clear tone just like countless times when reciting texts:

"The way to obtain it is the exchange of magic power, or the coordination and connection between magic circuits. Relatively simple media include blood and saliva—"

"Enough is enough!! Archer is still here, idiot, who told you to recite it!!!"

——Rin Tohsaka blushed for unknown reasons.

And suddenly tongue-tied and arms flailing indiscriminately, looking like overcooked crayfish drowning(?) in boiling oil.

"? Anyway, in theory, that's right. That should be very convenient..."

"Convenient size! Let me tell you, don't you need to be mentally prepared to say such things?! Although, although it is necessary, I'm fine, no problem...it's okay..."

"Rin, what are you panicking about?"

Probably because he was confused by her reaction from the bottom of his heart, Archer couldn't help breaking the iron rule that silence is golden: "Even if it is really necessary, no one here will force you to fight. Of course, Fukamachi—"

"You, you, shut up, Archer! I didn't panic! Yes, I don't know anything about this kind of thing, and it's not my turn to do it. Nothing happened in the Holy Grail War last year!!"

(No, you are obviously very flustered. Not only is your voice trembling, but you also seem to have blew up some amazing inside story that you have never heard of before. What, what's going on? What happened last year??)

Satsuki still wanted to ask in detail, but inexplicably read the breath of the death flag from Rin's frantic posture, so she nodded tactfully and turned around:

"Anyway, I'll go to the senior first. If the problem can be solved with only a blood transfusion, that would be very convenient..."

"...Wait. What did you just say?"

As if someone had poured cold water on his head, Tohsaka Rin suddenly regained his composure, and his expression switched from "suddenly excited patient.gif" to "indifferent.jpg" in just one frame.

"? Blood is also okay. Although excessive blood loss will cause inconvenience, according to my knowledge, other behaviors are generally only performed between 'like-minded lovers', and it is not applicable to the current situation."

There was no ripple in Gaoyue's eyes, and she still stated calmly in an unaffected tone.

There was only one point—it was really just a small amount the size of a fingernail, from which Rin could discern some imperceptible and lonely tones, like wind chimes swaying under the clear autumn sky.

"Even if I unilaterally show my favor, the senior will only feel troubled. I don't like this."

Leaving the chime-like tone behind her, Satsuki turned her head and asked Archer, the only one who was not in a daze, where Akutagawa was, and then disappeared as silently as a ghost.

"..."

And Rin was stunned for a while, and only after the reflection circled around the ground for a circle did he slowly recall:

"Archer, Satsuki, did she... misunderstand something?"

"I think she misunderstood a lot. For example, it is equivalent to confusing me with Amakusa Shiro next door."

Archer folded his arms leisurely, and replied in a nonchalant tone as if watching a drama, "However, it's all your fault, Rin. Why didn't you tell her—that man stayed here just now, until you were puzzled How can you leave in a hurry after breaking through in a coquettish manner? The parties involved are all in such a miserable state, and even the bystanders are also off the hook."

"what!!"

Rin slapped his forehead violently, "Yeah, I forgot! I should have known... Wait a minute, Archer. Who are you talking about?"

※※※

The second floor of the Lingzi Arena · Library

……

"here it is……"

The wooden door creaked and closed behind him, Satsuki stepped in slowly, raised his eyes curiously and looked around.According to Rin, they managed to find a safe area in the perilous art museum, and this small old library was also in it.

Perhaps because no one has entered for a long time, the air is full of a dull sense of occlusion and alienation, which is confused with the musty smell of wood and paper, giving people the illusion of stepping into an ancient book.Rows of bookshelves lined up neatly are almost close to the ceiling, and the windows on the wall are opened very high. The faint yellow light shines through the window lattice, and sprinkles spots of light on the dusty floor.

"..."

Gao Yue was hesitating whether to break the silence, when she suddenly heard a rustling sound, followed by the usual cool voice falling into her ears.

"—Is it Fukamachi?"

"Ah, yes."

Gao Yue hurriedly responded, walking quickly among the endless bookshelves following the sound, "Senior Akutagawa, you are..."

Caught off guard, the steps and voices were interrupted abruptly.Akutagawa's voice came from above her head, and when Satsuki raised her head slightly, she felt her breathing stopped, and her eyes suddenly froze on the shadow that eroded the sky like a solar eclipse.

"how?"

As if feeling unbelievable, Akutagawa slightly raised his eyebrows, "Is there any problem?"

At that time, he was sitting alone on the top of a half-person-high wooden ladder, with one leg loosely bent, his elbow slanted on his knee, and a half-read book was spread out on his knee.The night-like thick stand-up collar covered most of his face, only one corner of his pale side face, and a pair of dark eyes that shone coldly like swords could be seen.

The picture was very ordinary and casual, and Akutagawa's expression was the same as before, mixed with blunt indifference, surlyness and impatience-but at the same time, one could glimpse a certain kind of extremely natural elegance from it, because it was like an oil painting. against the background and become more distinct.

That elegance is engraved in his bone marrow, like a crystal buried in the crevices of rocks, no matter how poor life is, no matter how deep the silt can be, it cannot cover it up.

"Akutagawa-senpai, I..."

The images before the coma came back one by one in an instant, and Satsuki recalled her clumsy and long-overdue confession, and felt guilty:

"...I'm sorry. Senpai, I'm so stupid... If I could have discovered my intentions earlier, as early as four years ago, when Dazai-sensei left the mafia and the senior was in the most painful time, I should have gone to see you no matter what... "

She couldn't go on.

Because Akutagawa raised a hand and stopped her with a surprisingly calm expression: "Wait a minute, Fukamachi. You seem to have made a mistake."

"……what?"

Akutagawa closed the book with a snap, stood up and jumped down from the top of the wooden ladder.This time he didn't turn his eyes away, but took a step closer and stood in front of Gaoyue, with his eyebrows closed, looking down at her coldly like every time he scolded her for being stupid and incompetent in the past.

"Listen, Fukamachi.—【You don't owe me anything】."

"?" Gao Yue blinked suspiciously, "Senior, what do you mean..."

"You don't need to feel guilty or blame yourself for my life that you didn't intervene in the past. I don't deny that it was suffering. The anger and despair that burned in my heart at that time are still burned in my heart....That's right. [That It was indeed very painful for me at the time.”

Although the words contained tears of determination, the tone of Akutagawa's words was as indifferent as reading a history book.Perhaps this is the proof of growth.

"but."

The conversation suddenly changed, and it took on a sharp murderous look, "Whether it's the despair, the suffering, and——the sin that follows, it's the path I chose on my own. .I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my past, and I’ve never thought about trying to do it all over again.”

"..."

Gao Yue was speechless.

Akutagawa said that his life is indeed full of hardships.

Because he never abandoned his humanity, he did endure the sadness that clenched his chest all the time.

However, he also asserted that suffering is equal to joy and is an inseparable precious thing in his life.

Even if you are sad, you will never deny it, let alone rewrite it, and there is no such thing as "if you were there at that time".

"That's why your guilt is meaningless. For you, it's just a cocoon; for me, it's an insult to my life so far."

"……sorry."

Regarding this, Satsuki could only bow her head deeply again.

This person is too strong and proud, and she surpasses herself too much in every sense, and she can't figure it out with her shallow sympathy.Although Akutagawa claimed that "there is no need to feel guilty", she just felt more embarrassed.

I don't know if he sensed the girl's depressed state of mind, Akutagawa lowered his head and coughed lightly, then unconsciously turned his gaze to the side and said:

"...Besides, didn't you 'have come to see me'?"

"what?"

This time Gaoyue was really defenseless, she half-opened her mouth in shock, "When, why don't I remember?"

"........."

Akutagawa was silent for a few seconds, and then simply turned his face away stiffly, his eyes wandering in mid-air, as if he was concentrating on counting the dust flying under the sun.

Then he opened his mouth and said:

"...The first time. It was four years ago in the winter, when Christmas was approaching, you disguised yourself as Santa Claus and followed me secretly. I almost mistakenly thought it was an assassin from a hostile organization, and I was only a second away from killing you Shoot.—of course you didn't notice."

"?!!"

"The second time was the following spring, when you blended in with the flower-viewing crowd, trying to hide your face with a three-tiered picnic lunch box. Good idea, and quick reaction.—But, the ax on your back is still It's too striking."

"??!!!"

"The third time was in the summer, Mr. Nakaya suddenly wanted to take me to the beach, and you disguised yourself as a huge sand sculpture on the beach.——It was too reluctant anyway. Afterwards, Mr. Nakaya burst into laughter When you ask me if you're stupid, I can't answer."

"???!!!!!!"

"That's it. Do you understand now, Fukamachi?"

Akutagawa pressed his temple tightly with one hand, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and stared at her with heavy eyes that seemed to say "my son failed the final exam".

"—[Your tracking level is too poor]."

"Please, please don't say it! I'm reflecting!!"

Another sense of embarrassment that was completely different from just now hit her heart, Gaoyue couldn't stand steadily, and her whole body shook like a page of a book that was wrinkled by a strong wind.

"What's the matter, senior. Did you always know that I sneaked here? Then why did you—"

...That can't be called "secretly".

Akutagawa swallowed the harsh words, and instead, he ended the public execution in a cold but gentle tone.

"In two years, you appeared sixteen times in total. At first, it was once a quarter. Afterwards, probably because there was no news from Mr. Dazai, my anxiety increased day by day, and the frequency of your appearance gradually shortened to once every two months. Once a month. Seriously, it's pretty annoying."

"Yes, I'm really not suitable to play Assassin."

Satsuki covered her face with her hands in embarrassment, "Berserker is better..."

--Then.

From outside her field of vision, suddenly there was an unbelievably quiet voice like the deep sea.

"Enough is enough, Fukamachi."

The voice said so.

"Although you don't owe me anything—"

Neither indifferent nor violent, with that elegant and natural manner that seemed to be engraved in the bone marrow, the young man raised his hand to touch the girl's fluffy hair.

"However, you gave me too much. I'm sorry for not being able to call you back in time."

"------"

Gao Yue lost her voice.

Long before she could refine the turbulent thoughts in her heart into words, she only felt that the sockets of her eyes were hot and blurred, her vision was covered with mist, and she couldn't even see the face of the person in front of her clearly.

"This... I am troubled by this, senior. I originally thought that if I found a 'very favorite opposite sex', I would be in love. But at that moment, I seemed to like senior even more than before... Then my previous relationship was actually not the same. Is it not considered love? To what extent is it considered? Or, do I fall in love with you again every once in a while? Senpai, I am seriously troubled now."

"..."

As if he couldn't listen anymore, Akutagawa closed his eyes, "What stupid things are you talking about? You are so stupid, I should be the one who should be bothered... Tsk."

He suddenly staggered, but luckily Gaoyue supported him quickly so he didn't fall down.

"Ah, yes, magic power."

Gaoyue regained consciousness immediately, and conveniently pulled out the black key from the pocket of the four-dimensional space—that is, the interlayer of clothes—, "Rin said that it is enough to use blood. Please wait a moment, I will..."

"...No need. You put down the knife first."

Akutagawa glanced at it and immediately understood, and tilted his head angrily and amusedly, "I didn't kill you by mistake back then, and now I don't want to be killed by you by mistake."

"? Don't you need bloodletting? But, other than that——"

This time, Gao Yue didn't have time to finish speaking.

Because before that, the black cloth of "Rashomon" wrapped around her wrist like a snake and tightened, and the black key fell to the ground with a "clang".The young man also took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, pressing Gaoyue's shoulders and pushing her back against the bookshelf, while bending down involuntarily.

Then, he stuck the tip of his tongue between the girl's lips, and quietly entangled her tongue that never spoke well.

"What, uh...Huh?"

For a moment, Satsuki was so shocked that she wanted to kill someone to calm down.But Akutagawa held her tightly on the back of the head, let alone retreating, she couldn't even avoid the unceremonious, tough and almost vicious invasion.

However, Satsuki did not object to his usual rough style.On the contrary, when she was surrounded by the thin darkness around the young man, she felt the tranquility of the cradle again.

So warm and dark.

"That, senior..."

What kind of expression should she show at this time?

How should I describe this feeling so that he can also experience the sincere joy in his chest.

Satsuki began to worry seriously again——

"you shut up."

But Akutagawa immediately gave her a cold look, and killed her troubles in the bud with one word, "If you dare to say one more word at this time, I don't guarantee that you can keep your tongue."

"!!!"

Forced by the overly realistic threat, Satsuki pursed her lips obediently, "Yes."

"..."

Akutagawa first showed relief, then fell into silence with a gloomy expression.After a few seconds of stalemate, he finally said word for word with a gall-bitten expression:

"...open your mouth."

"Senior, what exactly do you want?"

"Open your mouth, don't talk. Are you an idiot. Are you an idiot?"

"may be."

Satsuki admitted truthfully, "Then before that, please let me say one last word."

"……Say."

Although the tone was the same as usual, Akutagawa's eyes looked like a crater on the verge of eruption.

So Satsuki finished speaking as if flying before he exploded:

"There is an NPC character who looks like Mr. Dazai standing behind you and laughing, do you need to drive him away first?"

"Varied--"

Akutagawa leapt away like an electric shock before he finished speaking, and hit the bookshelf with his back, and the already crumbling books immediately scattered like a shower.Although he opened the barrier in time to protect the top of his head, he failed to prevent the frivolous voice from behind him:

"—Yeah, both of you. Am I bothering you?"

"........."

Correct.

You just disturbed the entire moon, pay me for it.

The author has something to say:

Love line HE, continue to fight monsters to clear the level x

Akuta: If you were not Mr. Dazai, you would be dead.jpg

The culture of moon-replenishing magic is extensive and profound (laughs) FSN can’t be described, everyone understands it, the Harmony version’s Sakura line is blood, Mo Yi is a primary school student’s kiss, I don’t know what happened to Rin last year, why don’t you guys go for FE? (...
