On how the knight of vitality thrives in heroic heroes [Comprehensive]

Yuko Ichihara called her squire (? to bring her what she asked for on April [-]st.

It was a... radiant square stone, except for the brilliance, as an ordinary person, April [-]st hardly felt any difference.

The ranger gently picked up the stone, with a slightly serious expression on his face.

Ordinary people may not be able to find out what it is, but he understands that it is the Philosopher's Stone.

After observing for a moment, the red-haired boy raised his head and asked, "What price?"

Yuko Ichihara smiled: "I want that extra 'determination' in your heart."

You Xia squinted his eyes, he didn't know when he had this kind of thing, he subconsciously lowered his voice: "What do you know?"

Ichihara Yuko said: "This is not something you should have. It is one of the cornerstones of the next world. If you take it away from its original place, that world will collapse. And its will will affect you." The woman is lazy Raising her eyelids, she pointed to the Philosopher's Stone on one side, and said, "And this one matches the fluctuations on your body. Although it is also one of the cornerstones of the world, it is more suitable for you."

Ranger lowered his eyes, he was silent for a moment, then nodded quietly.

The King of Heroes next to him watched with interest what happened in front of him.

The woman walked up to You Xia lightly, and she said, "Don't worry, it won't hurt very much."

She dug her fingers into the Ranger's chest.

It is a strange sight that the five fingers are submerged in the flesh and blood, but not a drop of blood flows out!But Eri only felt that her scalp was numb, she bit her lower lip tightly, covering her mouth to exclaim in surprise, stood aside and tightly grasped the hem of Ranger's scarf.

Ichihara Yuko showed a strange color, and her hand sank into the depth for a moment, then she tightly grasped something [thing], and finally slowly withdrew her hand.

She looked at the heart-like thing in the palm of her hand, and after carefully examining it for a while, she reached out and gathered the messy strands of hair on her cheeks to her ears, and asked, "What do you know about the number seven?" ?”

You Xia frowned as she watched her perform a series of actions. When the woman pulled her arm away, he took a sudden step back, patted the skirt of his clothes with a little irritation, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know."

Ichihara Yuko handed him the Philosopher's Stone, pointing out: "Seven is an interesting number. Remember it."

The Ranger just put the Philosopher's Stone in the sachet—it's strange to say that once the Philosopher's Stone was put in the bag, it stopped shining—he turned around and wanted to leave.

The moment he exited the room, Ichihara Yuko's voice came again, it was still a lazy voice, and even the content sounded a bit irrelevant.

She said: "By the way, help me send greetings to Saiki Kusuo."

You Xia didn't turn his head, it was rare for him to actively poke the system in so many days: "Who is Saiki Kusuo?"

The system replied: "For people who don't matter, don't take this matter to heart."

...?

Gilgamesh said, "The appetizers are finished, kid, don't just stand there."

The ranger looked back slowly, and he returned to the previous street. The unknown and strange shops were as distant and unreal as a dream.He touched the sachet hanging by his waist. It was bulging inside, and it felt a little more heavy than before.

The ranger nodded and followed the man's pace again.

……

"Your name is Ranger...?"

The ranger nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

The dignified priest flicked the cross around his neck in an unclear manner.He lowered his eyes and said: "I once met a kid named You Xia on the Internet, you and him give me a very similar feeling." He paused for a moment, as if reflecting that his behavior was inappropriate , he said softly, "Sorry, I'm sorry."

The ranger slowly frowned.After amnesia, Yagi Toshinori made a special trip to bring him some daily necessities, including mobile phones.You Xia specifically inquired about the system because of the side quest [make friends] in the quest list, and then browsed his chat history in the line.

By the way, I thought about my previous tone.

So, in the next two missions, what exactly did I experience?

But... ah, the ranger thought back, and he thought, it doesn't matter if he admits it.

So the red-haired boy replied: "Yes." He tilted his head and recalled, "You are Father Mapo, right?"

Kotomine Kirei on the opposite side pulled out a stiff smile.He said: "It's really you - I once invited you to visit Fuyuki, but I didn't expect you to really come."

The ranger nodded, but told him bluntly: "I have lost my memory."

"?!"

"For some reason, I lost my memory. So I'm sorry, but I can't give you the response you want."

"...The response I want?" Kotomine Kirei's dark eyes flashed a trace of bewilderment, he remembered what Gilgamesh said to him a few days ago, and there was a bit of resistance unconsciously in his tone.The priest said, "No, I don't want anything...!"

Ranger: ...?

Gilgamesh laughed so hard that he hadn't been this happy for a long, long time.

These two people! !Hahaha, the interaction between these two people——! ! !

It's too funny.

The blond man pretended to wipe away a tear from the corner of his eye, and he said loudly: "Both of you—don't continue your stupid and ridiculous conversation, okay?"

He looked around almost contemptuously, gently tapped the heart and brain, and showed a malicious smile at the two: "Are you really unaware of your own essence?"

Ranger frowned, and he retorted: "Essence should not be transferred by others. Only one's own resolution can control one's own essence."

The little girl held the ranger's hand and looked left and right.She didn't know what the two were talking about, but she just vaguely felt... the blond man was scary.

Even scarier than Chisaki Kai.

Gilgamesh sneered, he narrowed his scarlet eyes, and thought: You didn't answer my question directly, boy.

But he didn't have the kindness to say anything more, he just felt a little bored while being interesting.These two people are wandering on the border of black and white, and they can fall into the abyss with just a slight push.

But he has already used this method on Kotomine Kirei.

He wanted to see how these two people would choose after a long entanglement?

He will ignore the long prelude for now and leave the two alone.Gilgamesh stepped out of the door lightly, and in the last step of leaving the room, he directly transformed into a spirit body and released his physical form.

The ranger explored and looked at the place where Gilgamesh disappeared for a moment. After a while, he turned his head with a blank expression and asked Kotomine Kirei, "Is that also a manifestation of personality?"

Kotomine Kirei shook his head, and he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, but I don't want to deceive you. In short, there is no individuality in this city."

The ranger nodded.

He asked Kotomine Kirei: "Can I go back?"

Kotomine Kirei shook his head, he took a light step in the direction of You Xia, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but I really want to chat with you."

When online, Father Mapo used to chat with You Xia frequently.At first it was the ranger who was looking for him, but at some point he came to look for the ranger on his own initiative.The other party is really a very good and reliable adult, so even the questions and answers often don't involve any uncomfortable privacy issues.

But this time, Kotomine Kirei asked him in bewilderment: "If one day, someone tells you that you are deviant, that you are completely different from other people - what will you do?"

You Xia glanced at him, he didn't know what to answer, but felt that something must be answered, so he gave the answer Aizawa Yuta told him: "Then...do what you want to do."

Aizawa Shouta once said to him that this is the performance of a hero.

Kotomine Kirei muttered to himself, "But that's not correct...the gods will not allow us to do such a thing..."

His eyes don't know where to fall, they are empty.But his hand was always tightly holding the cross necklace on his chest. His strength was so strong that even his fingertips were slightly white.

God?The ranger thought for a while, and asked him: "But... what if the Lord Shenming makes a mistake?"

Kotomine Kirei kissed the cross, and he said: "No, God is omniscient and omnipotent. He leads us forward, and he cannot make mistakes."

...impossible to go wrong?

You Xia opened his eyes wide in a daze, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes: "That is to say, our past is all determined by the gods?"

Kotomine Kirei told him: "Yes. I don't know what you've been through," the man stretched out his hand and gently brushed his face from a distance, "but your breath is the same as mine, you must be the same as mine , have the same past."

They all have memories of the dead.

A ring on a priest's hand, a flower stalk in a ranger's sachet.

The ranger said: "But I... I don't know, I don't understand... If this is the decision of the gods... Then?"

Kotomine Kirei lowered his eyes and said, "That must be proof that the gods favor us."

The priest's eyes were full of piety, and he told the ranger: "God must love us."

The ranger was silent for a long time.After a long time, the boy opened his mouth to tell him the answer to the question asked by the other party before: "If what you want is not right... then see what others do."

"The gods will give us directions, and if I'm not right, there's always someone who is right," he emphasizes. "There's always someone who is right."

Kotomine Kirei was slightly taken aback, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.The forbearance faded from his face, and the priest said clearly, "I understand."

The ranger nodded and waved him goodbye.The priest watched from a distance as his back gradually disappeared into the manor—then light spots danced on the sofa, and gradually blended into a human shape.

Gilgamesh.

The blond man asked him, "Now, have you found the answer?"

Kotomine Kirei didn't look back, he said, "My answer... should be on him."

"Is that your conclusion?"

"Another me with a similar past and the same essence...He must be the messenger sent by God to give me the answer. I want to witness...his end. Before that, let me wait and see for a while."

"Heh, I'm also looking forward to your ending."

...

The ranger in the distance suddenly felt a chill behind his back.Ah, it must be because he didn't go back too late, Aizawa Yuta was talking about him too much.
