The Burial of Heroes and Goddesses [Comprehensive]

Mina knew that Bumi Atobe would leave here sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

But she also knew that it was impossible for a friend to stay in the same place all the time.What's more, Atobe Bumi is not from Fuyuki, and, Atobe Bumi said before, he will only stay in Fuyuki City for a week.

Things are almost packed.

Mina even ordered others to bring the special products of Fuyuki City, and stuffed them one by one to Atobe.

Looking at these messy specialties, Atobe just felt warm in his heart.

"Miss Mina, and everyone—"

"Xiao Bu, if you come to Fuyuki City next time, you must come here!"

"I really hate to bury you!"

"..."

Atobe blinked his wet eyes, and agreed to each other's requests one by one.

In the follow-up, Zhongyuan Zhong also manipulated gravity to take away these special products.

Under the street lamp, Atobe turned his head, looked at the people standing in front of the restaurant and waved at her, and silently recorded the scene.

At least.

When she was unfamiliar with the place, there were still these lovely people who helped her!

Atobebumi turned his head, showing an optimistic look.

As a result, she watched Osamu Dazai reach out and take a bag of Fuyuki's specialties.

Then a pile of specialty products fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Buried Atobe: The smile gradually disappeared.

"... Mr. Dazai."

Excuse me, are you a troublesome spirit? Woohoo!

Osamu Dazai opened the snack bag, bit the snack with his teeth, and made a cute chirping sound.

"Ah sorry, I forgot."

Who knew that the packaging bag was so weak, and it could connect to Nakahara Chuya's ability at once... So, I'm really sorry for accidentally eliminating it.

And the moment the ability was eliminated, Nakahara Chuka almost wanted to kill Osamu Dazai.

Fortunately, most of the specialty products are packaged and not so fragile, and most of them are considered intact.

Except for...the ones with particularly serious damage.

In fact, Atobe Bumi really wanted to beat up Osamu Dazai.

But the lights flickered suddenly, and a familiar aura approached at an extremely fast speed, which forced Atobe to stop this thought.

The street lights on the side of the road flickered as if they had broken down.

Atobe looked across the road without blinking.

With a bang, the street lights came on.

Saber, who was wearing a black suit, slowly walked out of the shadows, she raised her head, revealing somewhat empty eyes.

"The traces are buried."

"...Saber? Why did you come out alone?"

Saber couldn't help but bit her teeth, showing a remorseful expression.

"Irisviel... was taken away."

***

After the fourth day passed, Emiya Kiritsugu and his party moved to a different house.

However, what worried Saber was that Irisviel's body became weaker day by day.

In the end... even the strength to touch people disappeared.

What was even worse was that during her absence, Irisviel disappeared.

It is not clear who was kidnapped.

She searched for it for a long time, but couldn't find Irisviel.

In the process of searching, she sensed Atobe Buried.

Last time, Atobe Bumi could appear to protect Irisviel.Does this mean that Atobubu can find Irisviel?

It is said that when people are in despair, once hope appears, even if it is lost, the desperate person will not hesitate to reach out and grasp the straw called hope.

Saber was not surprised either.

Irisviel's unique temperament makes her very fond of it.What's more, after getting along for such a long time, she is even very happy and likes it very much.

It was such a person, a person whom Saber could rest assured to turn her back on.Now... disappeared, she didn't even know if Irisviel was still alive.

Saber was terrified.

"Atobebu, if you know where Irisviel is—"

"Sorry." Atobu pursed his lips and replied. When Saber heard this sentence, her eyes flickered slightly, revealing a slightly desperate look mixed with self-blame.

Atobe did not know where Irisviel was.

After all, they have nothing to do with each other.

"Is that so..." Saber lowered her head, looking at her elongated shadow.

"I see."

Saber turned around.

She raised her leg and took a step forward.Every step you take, exudes a breath of despair.But the will to go on and continue to search, inexplicably makes people feel distressed.

The Knight King of old was also like this, right?

Watching my companions die one by one, to be honest, it would be a lie not to feel sad.

It's just that, as a king, you can't be indecisive, even if you are misunderstood [King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts] it doesn't matter.

what she has to do.

It is to protect this country and the people of this country.

But in the end—what happened in the end?

Artoria, standing on the Hill of Swords, could not accept the result of her country's imminent destruction.

From the moment she became king, she had predicted the future fate of Britain.

However, after making so many sacrifices, she couldn't even achieve the desired result.

The bloody wind blows towards the girl's cheek.

Empty pupils, a sad face, tears called [Unreconciled] slipped from the bottom of the eyes.

Is she really a qualified king?

Artoria stretched out her hands, and the wind blowing over her blew her golden hair.

"Alaya, may I listen to the wishes of your people."

In the void, there was a sigh.

Death is unavoidable.

And this war was an unacceptable ending for her.

Inexplicably, she thought of what Merlin said at that time: Do you want to pull out this [Sword in the Stone]?If you unplug it, many unbearable things will happen in the future.

An emotion called sadness ran through his body.

"Alaya..."

She regretted it.

If she could go back to the day of the election of the king, if she hadn't become the king, would everything be different?

***

Seeing Saber's leaving figure, Atobe felt empathy, and also felt the sadness.

Suddenly, her head sank.

Feeling the warmth in her hair, Atobe slowly turned her head to meet Nakahara Nakaya's gaze.

"Don't be afraid." Nakahara Chuya's eyes said so.

"Yeah." Atobe nodded slightly.

Next, the three of them returned to the hotel silently all the way.

Atobe lay down on the bed and fell asleep instantly.

In the dream, she stood on the dividing line between the two worlds.

If the red world on the left represents light and herself, then the darkness next door, and even the things surging in the darkness, undoubtedly made Atobe feel disgusted.

The last time I had a dream was also here.

And on the other side of this abyss, there is such a voice roaring: Give it back to me, give me back that thing.

What [that thing] is, Atobe has never been able to figure out.

However, when she heard Saber say that Irisviel disappeared, an answer inexplicably floated in her heart, that is: Irisviel is dead.

Atobe Bumi was even frightened by his intuition.

But—I always feel that her thoughts are true.

So, what is it that is connected to her dream world?

Atobe raised his hand, rubbed it, and a ball of light guiding and illuminating the surroundings ignited.

Atobe's eyes flickered, he raised his foot, and stepped on the stinking black mud.

***

Irisviel was indeed dead.

Or was directly strangled to death by Kotomine Kirei.

However, at that time, she no longer had the ability to resist and could only be slaughtered.

And this feeling... is undoubtedly uncomfortable.

What is the dead world like?

Darkness, darkness everywhere.

The only ray of light also shone on this familiar bed.

Her lovely little daughter Ilya was lying on the bed.Suddenly, like having a nightmare, she threw herself into Irisviel's arms with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, I'm so scared."

"I dreamed that I turned into a small cup, and a lot of things ran into my body, it hurt so much..." Ilya said with tears.

Irisviel hugged Illya tightly.

"Illya, don't be afraid, this is just a dream."

Is it really just a dream?

Irisviel pursed her lips and smiled wryly in a place where Illya could not see.

She will be the Lesser Grail, and even her daughter will be the Lesser Grail in the next Holy Grail War.

However, the Holy Grail War ended in this session?

Irisviel looked towards the empty darkness.

Until the light became smaller and smaller, until Illya in her arms disappeared, until she was swallowed by the black mud, and then - the black mud covered her head and sank into the endless abyss.

In the darkness, a red light appeared in her palm.

The red light slowly moved from the palm to other places, even the whole body.

This kind of power perfectly enveloped Irisviel's soul, preventing it from being swallowed by the black mud.

After an unknown amount of time, Irisviel's soul slowly woke up.

She blinked and looked at the still dark surroundings.

And the only source of light is yourself.

Irisviel, who was already in a soul state, didn't have so many scruples. She stretched out her hand and poked the red thin layer, only feeling a kind of warmth permeating the heart.

Knowing that this film won't hurt her, Irisviel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She should have been swallowed by the black mud.

And now there is still the will to explain: she is protected, not completely swallowed.

But it seems... can't leave here.

[Do you want to leave here? ]

The sudden voice made Irisviel's eyes widen.

"who are you?"

[I, the sword of Damocles, is the representative of the Red King]

"Representative of the Red King?" Irisviel was startled, if it was [Red King], wouldn't it be Xiao Bu?

[The current Red King's trace is buried, and he is my allegiance king]

Irisviel: Sure enough.

"Then, you appearing here... is there something wrong with Xiao Bu?"

[The king is fine, and I am here for you]

"I...?" Irisviel was a little surprised.

[Irisviel von Einzbern] The Sword of Damocles calls Irisviel's full name.

[You have been chosen by the king]

[You who have been chosen by the king, are you willing to become the king's clan? ]

"Clan, clan?" Irisviel chewed these two words slowly.

Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of these two words, she felt warmth from them.

"What if I don't agree?"

[you will say yes]

[Because, after becoming the king's clan, I will take you out of here]

The person with many unbreakable ties smiled dumbly.

"I promise you."

Become, Xiaobu's clan.
