[Fate] Falling Sun

After returning to the residence, Mio gathered her thoughts for a while, and then planned to discuss with Karna the information about the first battle that she saw just now.In such a tense atmosphere, she understood that the rules of this war were far beyond her imagination.But fortunately, there are also parts that can be inferred with common sense.

"It seems that in this first battle, we can tell who most of the servants are..." Judging from the dialogue between them, they didn't know the class or even the identity of the other party at the beginning. If there is insufficient information, they will be careless. The defeat is also obvious.This is also the reason why Karna suggested that he only call the class name at first.However, is it because of the alliance?Archer on the other side and Lancer on the other side both directly saw through each other's identities, which is a bit unbelievable.

What the black-haired girl didn't know was that Karna possessed an innate skill called "The Wisdom of the Poor". Although it couldn't be as direct as Ruler's "True Name See Through", it was the ability to see through the opponent's essence and thoughts. real ability. "Lancer, do you know the true identities of those Servants?" She asked with a question.

"I don't know." He responded quickly this time. "However, if it is a class, this first battle has provided a lot of information that can be deduced and confirmed."

Saber must be the blond girl. Although she is not known where the heroic spirit is, but judging from the weapon she hides, there must be some clues.

Rider's words are also obvious, as the most obvious feature of Rider, there is no doubt that he has a special mount.

In addition, the maddened black follower seemed to be Berserker. Seeing the opponent's superb martial arts, he didn't seem to be mad at all.

The other servants that have not yet appeared are relatively passive characters in terms of their own classes, such as Caster who needs to create a position and Assassin who can hardly face it head-on.

"Then, why were you and Archer able to reveal each other's identities in the first place? Even if it's an alliance, I don't think Mr. Tohsaka intends to let me know who his trump card is." Maybe the girl is just an ace to the magician. She's a layman, but if it's just interpersonal communication, Mio is not the type who doesn't read the air.

"The other party can see my identity at a glance. I'm afraid it is the ability of the oldest king. But that person is quite free-wheeling. As for me..." At this moment, Karna pursed his lips, and those beautiful eyes were thinking about what to do. explain.The reason for his silence is because the King of Heroes put on a face like "This king is Gilgamesh, bastards who don't know who I am should die!" ’ Such explicit information.

"Does Lancer have similar abilities?" Seeing that her servant seemed a little hard to explain, the girl tried to ask him in a guiding way.

"Ah, sort of." Karna didn't think it was a very special ability, so it was hard to describe what kind of skill it was.

"Hmm..." After thinking about the combat power of the servants she saw so far, the girl analyzed the strength of the masters from a different angle. "... So, is that what magicians are?" Mio couldn't help trembling when she thought of the battle between the Masters.

For her, the duel between magicians is really something from another dimension—just like the fantasy movies she has seen, it is magical and unreal, and all invisible things are manifested to become their own power, and have powerful The destructive power of...

"No way, I can't become a combat power at all!" Mio held her head in shock, as expected, she was the weakest Master in this war, completely useless, absolutely useless!Speaking of which, it is the malice of fate to get into this magician duel by mistake!Why would the Holy Grail choose itself to enter the battlefield?No matter how you look at it, it is used to gather the number of people!

"My lord, you are indeed useless on the battlefield." Sun Shenzi's straightforward words were as unstoppable as a thousand arrows piercing the heart. "But as a Master, it is the correct way to fully and appropriately use Servants to fight." He stared at the frustrated girl, encouraging her in his own way. "Please don't hesitate to use me as your weapon and shield."

"Lancer..." Flicking a whip one second and delivering candy the next, are all Indian gods so heavy-tasting? "I see." Mio silently felt mixed feelings in her heart, but she did feel the encouragement from Karna.

"Then, in order to become a qualified Master, Lancer also please tell me all the relevant information about your own skills and strength—at least, I hope that I can do it to the extent that it will not drag you down in actual combat." The girl's pitch-black voice Her pupils are shining with hope like a galaxy. Although she is too ordinary as a human being, her persistence in survival is not inferior to that of all things in the world.

"Follow your orders." He saw the determined determination in the girl's eyes, and the originally sharp expression softened a lot.

***

On the red brick road of Tushedao University, which is famous for its free style of study, students coming and going chat and laugh easily.Mio, who had just finished class, was walking with her classmates while discussing the project in class, and then they parted ways after walking to the school gate.

The sunset at dusk was quite soft, but Mio didn't like dusk very much.

The reason is that dusk is also known as the time of encountering demons. Every day, at this time, girls will always encounter some "things" that are not clear whether they are human or non-human, and these non-human creatures will always particularly like to come and pester them. looking at her.But recently, this situation seems to have disappeared suddenly. Although she doesn't know why she can't see it anymore, she is glad that her innate yin and yang eyes have been closed.

However, I didn't meet anything inhuman, but I met someone I knew quite well.

"Oh, isn't this Mio? It's been a long time!" The person walking towards me couldn't see who it was because of the backlight, but the black-haired girl could recognize who it was just by her voice.

"Long time no see, Senior Yusheng." The girl responded politely, always giving the impression of a quiet and good student.

"I haven't seen you come here to work for a while. The customers in the store are all complaining why the signboard is gone?" The young man with orange hair grinned. His purple suit gave people the initial impression. The accessories clanged with the steps towards her. The fingerless leather gloves and leather boots gave people a very fashionable taste, but the dark eyes showed a happy smile like hunting.

"Because the school is busy these days... is everyone in the store okay?" Mio may not have realized it herself, but what Yusheng said just now is indeed the truth. Performance will indeed be particularly good.

In addition to her professionalism, although she is not an amazing type of dazzling beauty, she has a pure and abstinent loveliness and purity.For the service industry, most girls of this type can generally win the favor of people of all ages, and her conversation is indeed quite pleasant, and all the guests who have chatted with her feel comfortable.

"It's so-so, everyone misses you very much~ Remember to come and see when you have time? Ah, since it's rare to meet, would you like to have a meal together tonight?" The young man released a rather charming smile, For Yusheng Ryunosuke, most girls follow his own style.

"This..." But the black-haired girl in front of her showed a hesitant expression.

"It's really sad~ Is there an appointment? Let me guess~ Is it Hino or Mitsui?" Observing the other party's reaction, it is very simple to come to this conclusion. The young man continued to test in a way of retreating without giving up. Amane Mio.

"No, it's not, senpai..."

"Oh~ isn't it? I remember the last time I asked Mio and told me that I didn't have time~ It made me so sad~" Yusheng simply pretended to be pitiful, but it was an exasperating and funny look.

"Senior, that's because I was really busy before..."

"Huh? How about making an appointment this Friday? Little Mio won't even have a full schedule for next month~?"

"No, since senior said today, it's fine if it's just a meal." Taking time, Amane Mio thought that the simple entertainment should not affect the original action tonight, so she agreed.

"Ah~ah, I'm so happy! Little Mio finally agreed to my invitation~" Yusheng smiled happily like a child. "Then let's meet at "The Earth and the Sheep" at six o'clock later!"

"Okay, see you later." Mio waved to Yu Sheng, watching him leave.

After returning to the residence, she put down the things for class, arranged her long hair, and after a brief grooming, she went out again.

There are still 5 minutes before the appointed time, and the girl is already standing in front of the agreed store waiting. "Hello? Senior Yusheng? I'm here." She picked up her mobile phone and called Ryunosuke Yusheng to inform him.

"Just like going to work, it's really punctual, Mio~ But I'm at the convenience store next door, why don't you go in first? I have a reservation in advance, so I'll go in later!" said Yusheng on the phone, while the girl said There is no doubt that someone went into the store.However, Ryunosuke Yusheng was not in the convenience store next door, but followed her all the way here.

He put down his phone and entered the restaurant happily.

During the meal, the two chatted like ordinary friends.But most of the time, Yu Sheng asked questions about Mio, and in terms of the intention of pursuit, it was quite obvious.But Mio coped with it with the attitude of four or two thousand dollars.

It's not because she hates Ryunosuke Usei, on the contrary, Mio also has a certain degree of affection for this senior, otherwise she would not agree to the other party's invitation, but due to the strange incident of being involved in the Holy Grail War for no reason recently, she can't take it easy. Feel free to face the classmates and friends around you.

After the meal, Yusheng proposed to send Mio back.On the way, he suddenly took Mio's hand.

"...Senior?" The girl wanted to withdraw her hand in embarrassment, but Yu Sheng held it quite tightly.

"Accompany me to a place──all at once." Yu Sheng showed a mysterious smile, and there was a kind of strength in the clenched hands that cannot be ignored.

"Huh?" She was pulled into a dark alley, and Ryunosuke Usuo led her to turn left and right for a while, and suddenly a bright light appeared in front of her eyes - "This is...?" An abandoned church appeared.The dilapidated and bare building is scattered with fragments of colorful glass windows, and the statue that was originally enshrined is also missing the head part. The overall look has a kind of desolate and strange beauty.

"My secret base—I want you to see it." Yu Sheng said in a steady tone with his back turned to her.

"Senior Yusheng...?" If a girl fell into the trap of tenderness, her heart would definitely be moved when she heard such words, right?However, Yusheng Ryunosuke was waiting for the moment when the opponent let go of his guard.However, at this moment, Mio, after observing that the place is quite desolate, is also sparsely populated, which makes the alarm bells in her heart ring loudly.

"Just call me Ryunosuke, Mio." Yu Sheng turned around, reaching out his hand to caress the girl's face.But the girl subconsciously took a step back, and then a dazzling light appeared between the two.

"Although you will be kicked by the horse for disturbing other people's dates, but for the sake of my lord, please stay away—human magician." The calm tone was without any emotion, and the white-haired youth appeared between the two of them.

"You...you are...!?" Ryunosuke Uyuu jumped back vigilantly, as if he was taken aback.

"Although I don't know who your servant is, but if you want to harm my lord, you have to pass me first." Karna, who had been watching for a long time, finally couldn't help showing up, long before he discovered the other party's intentions. Lancer knew that he couldn't appear in front of ordinary people at will, but fortunately this guy also changed places, so it was the servant's duty to protect the Master at critical moments.

"What? It's really bad luck." Ryunosuke Yusheng scratched the back of his neck helplessly. "It turns out that Mio already has a flower protector by her side~" The orange-haired young man in front of him was only surprised for a while by the servant who suddenly appeared, and then returned to his normal appearance. "How about it? Since we are both participants in the Holy Grail War, how about cooperating together?" Yu Sheng, who reacted quite quickly, thought that since he had been noticed, he made this proposal quickly and wisely, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion.

"...I didn't expect Senior Yusheng to do the same?" Since Yusheng had been wearing ordinary fingerless leather gloves, he couldn't see the Command Seals at all. Mio looked very surprised, and if it wasn't because Lancer himself showed up first, she didn't think so. Your disguise will be seen through. "Senior Yu Sheng found out that I was a participant, so he asked me out?"

"No, because I like little Mio, and I really want to date you~" Yu Sheng smiled brightly like the sun, and suddenly hit a straight ball.

“……………………………………” It was rare that the two masters were silent at the same time.Although Mio's silence was understandable, Karna narrowed his eyes slightly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"That... sorry... I..." Probably because the impact was a bit too big, the black-haired girl was at a loss instead.

"No, no, don't reject me now! Think about it, think about it!" Yu Sheng seemed to be selling. "Whether it's a relationship or an alliance, at least give me a chance~ Of course you won't be asked to make a decision now, how about thinking about it first?"

"...I'll think about it carefully." After deliberating for a long time, the girl finally uttered this sentence. "Then, let's take my leave first." After nodding his head in embarrassment, he left in a hurry.The white-haired young man at the side glanced at Ryunosuke Yusheng with subtle eyes, and then disappeared as a spirit body.

After confirming that the girl had gone away, the orange-haired youth who was left behind breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, he reacted wittily at that time, after all, his master is not by his side now, otherwise he might accidentally become the first kill record of that servant.

"It's a pity...but this makes people more excited." He licked his lips, the expression on his face was full of intoxication.

Would love to see the fresh color of her innards!
