Fate The Extra One

[a corner of the street]

"Well, what are you doing, Lani?"

While Hakuno Kishinami was wandering around, a girl wrapped in a dark purple coat with stars and moons painted all over her body, matching Caster's witch costume, put her hands and fingers on the table, sitting on a simple homemade booth, smiling with her head bowed. Wearing a purple hood connected to the coat, Zabizi recognized the identity of the other party because of a bunch of overly long hair and a lavender one-sided braid exposed——Rani VIII, formerly Atlas An artificial human with its own mind created by the last alchemist of the Academy.

"Ala, Gui'an, Kishiba-san, as you can see, I am working part-time."

It seems that the strange attire is not for concealing identity. Hearing the voice, Lani immediately took off her hat and said to Bai Ye with a smile. She has brown skin, a little plum red on the forehead, and the clear purple pupils under the intellectual glasses reveal wise Light, the girl's tone was flat, but her expression showed extra joy.

"……work to earn a living?"

Take a closer look at Lani's outfit again, exaggerated divination magic style, there is a crystal ball and astrology disc on the small table, very magical temperament...

"Yes, now I'm a part-time fortune teller, Kishinami-san, do you want to try it?" Lani said with a smile.

"...Uh, isn't Lani helping Leo, how could she need to work part-time?"

"Well, that's true. What I'm doing now is just a hobby. I like astrology very much, so I just play around with things related to it."

"Aren't you defrauding people of money... By the way, is this crystal ball really useful?" Zabizi asked, pointing to the large ball on the table.

"This is a simple decoration. According to current knowledge, people will trust more people when they wear certain clothes. This coat is also used to create an atmosphere. Although I am dissatisfied with this uncomfortable extra clothing, But this is also a necessary link from a rational point of view..." Lani tugged on the purple robe, revealing smooth and bare skin faintly inside... Thinking of her obsession with showing off, Zabizi had a terrifying thought in his heart, and quickly Change the subject,

"Haha... Lani still likes to dress up openly as usual... let's not talk about that, although it's just killing time, how is the business?"

"Student Kishinami, you obviously haven't finished your sentence—do you have any questions about my attire? As the highest-level masterpiece of the Atlas Institute, I can't tolerate such irresponsible behavior in the middle of the sentence." Female pusher of science He pushed his glasses and said sharply.

"No...that, it's really nothing, I don't mind your habit, that, try to be careful..." Zabizi hesitated, blushing,

"If you suspect that the inside of the coat is a vacuum, it's a pity that your deduction is wrong-although I did consider the absolute rationality of pursuing comfort at first, I still restrained myself in order to obey the basic social rules. After all, my The taste is too advanced to be understood by most people.” While talking, Lani opened the coat, although the fabric inside is still very small, but it is not to the point of immorality, Zabizi finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing it.

"Student Kishiba, I can take this as your distrust of me, and lower your overall evaluation by ten points." Lani said with a frown.

"No, no, I didn't mean that, that... sorry..."

"Forget it, at least your Servant can still understand my style. If you really want to apologize, let me design your next outfit. That conservative dragon girl actually said that my clothes are detrimental to purity and find it inappropriate." It's really stupid to design costumes for a magician..." Lani said to herself very resentfully,

"Speaking of which, you didn't live with your Servant——listen to Leo and the others."

"Well, that's right, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little suggestion. If you are worried about rent, why not work part-time like me, and it's very interesting to observe human performance at the same time~" A faint dark temperament appeared on his usually expressionless face.

"You don't work part-time, you open a shop by yourself, and you just play casually regardless of the cost... Anyway, thank you, I will consider~...Ah, there are really customers——"

While talking, a shy unknown girl not far away looked at the booth and gradually approached, and seemed to see Kishiba Hakuno talking with the "Fortune Master" and stopped aside.

"There was obvious blush on the face and abnormal behavior. Based on previous cases, it was preliminarily judged to be troubles in love." Lani said in an orderly manner,

"Well, although the situation is generally correct, talking about love in that mechanized tone is a little bit... Anyway, I won't disturb your work anymore, Master Rani~ Let's go first——"

"Please wait."

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Zabizi turned around and asked. Lani took out a stack of documents from the bottom of the table and handed it to the other party.

"Before you came, I was in a state of leisure. Because I was idle and bored, I finished the rest of the tasks assigned by classmate Leo this week. Can I trouble you to pass them on to him?"

"One week... Sure enough, Lani is very powerful, that's fine, Leo is right there at the apartment." Zabizi took the file in amazement.

"No, I heard from him that today's itinerary seems to be planned to be spent at Emiya Shiro's house." Lani said calmly.

"... Huh? When did they get involved?"

"I don't know the specifics. Maybe Gao Wen wants to meet his past lord. Kishiba-san should go and confirm it himself."

"...Is it really all right?"

——————————————————————————————————

【Wei Palace Residence】

In front of you is the Shura field——

Sure enough, there was no expected error at all——

Although it has nothing to do with coyotes, Wei Gong's family has always been a treasure land rich in Shura fields——

For example, now, the blond boy and the blond girl look at each other, and the tall blond sun knight in white armor lingers between the two. A certain red hair in the basic background is obviously different from the increasingly grand and heavy The king's aura was at odds with each other, and the fourth person who was involved in the three of them stood aside in desperation... and the fifth person, Mou Zha, wisely chose to watch as soon as he saw this scene...

A sad knight who seems to be the male protagonist looks at the two new and old lovers who are only 1 centimeter apart in height and have a similar appearance, and it is difficult to choose. Time passes by, and the two heroines (??) just look at each other like a mirror Looking at the other party without words, Zabizi, who was watching from a distance (toukui), didn't feel a little dignified, only the surprise of watching the live version of the love triangle——

(Oh ho ho ho ~~~ Erogue knight, you have today too!!!!)

Thinking of the ugly face of a bad, hypocritical knight who beat himself up for 100000Sm in Mooncell, pretended to obey the master's order to bully the weak, and carried a video recorder with him when he made a fool of himself on weekdays, the feeling of schadenfreude was vividly expressed at this time.

"Nice to meet, Ms. Saber, I am Leonardo Vistario Harvey, the current Master of Servant Gawain, it is an honor to meet you, I have often heard about your brilliance from the Sun Knight Deeds, I have been working hard to train myself with you as my goal."

Out of etiquette, Leo spoke first, with a noble and elegant manner, a slight smile, a solemn and majestic temperament, as calm as a lake and unsparingly expressing his respect for the King of Knights—then, the King of Knights who also had the noble temperament of a knight Return equal respect and respect.

"This is here, I am very glad to meet you—as you know, my name is Arthur Pendragon, an incompetent king who once ruled the ancient Kingdom of Great Britain, thank you very much for your respect, but in fact I am not the respectable person you imagined." The blond girl knight said solemnly, the last few words revealed a touch of remorse and regret.

"No, King Arthur, you are more than anyone..." Gawain interjected.

"Pay attention to your words, Knight Gawain, the king you serve now is not the dead Arthur Pendragon, but a young man who is thousands of times better than him!" Before the sun knight could finish speaking, the knight king called Cut him off.

"You are too serious, Your Majesty the King of Knights. Even if your motherland has been destroyed, everyone will regard you as a hero of the country. You should not belittle yourself when you bring people respect for the nobleness and justice of knights." Leo commented objectively and sincerely.

"That's not the case, Leo, with such a benevolent, righteous and generous heart at this age, as well as rationality and wisdom, you will definitely become a good king far better than me... I can tell by the look in your eyes that you love peace, Willing to fight for it, taste the joy of countless victories, but also know the pain of defeat and accept it calmly. You can understand the feelings of others, which is not comparable to "King Arthur who doesn't understand people's hearts"-you will definitely go further than me , on the road of kings."

"It's an honor to get such a high evaluation from you, but as far as I can see, you are not an unreasonable combat machine. Why do you devalue yourself so much?" Leo asked seriously.

"Leo, your words to the king are too..." Hearing that his former king was called "Battle Machine", Gawain unconsciously shouted.

"Gao Wen, have you forgotten the most basic knight etiquette!" The King of Knights was extremely strict with his former members of the Knights of the Round Table.

"...I'm so sorry."

"I'm very sorry that Servant Gao Wen made such a gaffe because of my existence, but as you said, Leo, I am not 'unreasonable' now, because Arthur Pendragon has died with the ancient Great Britain, and now I'm just the Servant Saber of the boy named Wolf Emiya...Although I'm sorry, can you give me a little time to talk to Gawain, who was once a subordinate?" The King of Knights showed a soft and pleading expression.

"...I see, then Mr. Emiya and I will go to the back room first."

Leo stared at the girl who denied that she was "Arthur". Although the current Master, who was very eloquent, was a blond boy, the awe-inspiring righteousness and kingly demeanor in his brows remained unchanged. He bowed and looked flustered Gawain smiled faintly and left with Emiya Shirou.

…………

"...King, why did you say that just now? You did nothing wrong from the beginning to the end. You are the king of knights who guards the country with a holy sword. It is all because of me..."

"No, Gawain, King Arthur is indeed not a good king. He is too idealistic and ignores the feelings of his subjects. The end like that is the inevitable result, it's just a matter of time—"

The blond girl shook her head and stopped Gao Wen's words.

"Although I didn't tell you, I longed for the Holy Grail at the last moment before I died, to erase my existence from history. I don't think it should be me who pulled out the holy sword..."

"What are you talking about..."

"Don't be so excited, I'm talking about the past—now I don't want to change history, because of mistakes and regrets; those who stay can constantly correct and improve to a better future, what King Arthur didn't do in the past All the living people have done it, although I can’t apologize to my comrades who fought together and died because of me, but they won’t be too sad to see this scene in heaven..."

"..."

"So, Knight Gawain, your former lord, King Arthur, is dead. Even though he has regrets and made many mistakes, the traces he left in history will not change--the one standing in front of you now is a man named Al The innocent girl of Toria Pendragon, or the Servant who has the same Saber position as you and serves a different master, stop chasing the shadow of the past. If Arthur is still alive, he will definitely say that he never thinks of you Is there something wrong——Of course, I, Artoria, think so too.”

The girl smiled brightly,

"Cherish the current master, that boy named Leo has precious qualities that King Arthur doesn't have. Serving him and assisting him to become king is what you should do now, Servant Gao Wen!!"

"--Yes!!"

The dejected noble knight finally lifted his head to face the blond girl as if he had untied his heart, and answered solemnly, with determination and indestructible will, his voice resounded from the bottom of his heart.

.........

"Ale~ Isn't this Bai Ye? What are you doing here?"

[Kang Dang! ]

the sound of something breaking

——It’s definitely not moral, because that thing is gone long ago...

It was supposed to be HappyEnd turning to the next chapter, and suddenly someone messed up again, disrupting the harmony, beauty, righteousness, and high style, sending an eavesdropper to the guillotine and smashing the heart of the person on the ground.

The two knights who have been talking "whispers" have just changed from an ambiguous relationship similar to a master-slave to good friends of the same class. They look at the bitter transparent wild who has been holding their breath and forgot to escape in unison. The eyes, the bright smile, the sense of oppression that is slowly approaching step by step, the beautiful melody of creaking knuckles, the poignant beauty of disillusionment near death...

"No, that, this, everything is a misunderstanding..."

Zabizi waved his hands in front of him, stepped back gradually, and hit the wall helplessly, dripping with cold sweat, only one sentence he wanted to finish before he died——

(Tohsaka Rin, do I have any grudge against you??!!!)

———To add, the person who exposed Zabizi's position just now was a certain blond Tohsaka Rin who had watched a good show and was a prankster. Now he is hiding behind the "smiling" two people, waving goodbye to Zabizi-that is through road to death...

————————————【Emiya House·Indoor】———————————————

…………

"Honestly it's incredible that I'm still alive."

Zabizi rubbed his pinched flushed face, recalling the countless pictures degrading human dignity taken by a certain evil ghost knight with his own camera, and felt a chill—children's shoes, don't think about it, it's just being played by Miss Saber Lost face and then forced to wear all kinds of cosplay costumes from Caster in Liudong Temple. Although it is a bit shameful, but my chastity is still preserved... No, it seems that it has long been gone...

Although I don't know what the black-hearted Sun Knight wants to do after taking those photos, but it is just a free model, and it is absolutely impossible for her to pay for the photo negatives by herself. In fact, she still likes some clothes... In short, whoever is taken advantage of in the end has nothing to do with me, save my life sohappy~~

But the most irritating thing is that when Zabizi entered Weigong's house with a sad face, the little angel Leo, who is known as the king, was playing cards with the hyena family with great interest, and he seemed to have won a lot Forget it—look at his black-bellied smile, he's definitely cheating! !By the way, is your successor, King of Knights, really a man of this kind? !Aren't you afraid to bring down your loyal little friend Gawain... Well, actually, it seems that the Sun Knight has already gone bad...

In the end, the worst loser seems to be only myself and my coyote classmate. It is rare to feel a sense of sympathy. Zabizi looked at Wei Gong with a gentle gaze. Of course, the cold atmosphere that he felt immediately made Zha's will clear , Return to the state of passerby A again.

"Speaking of which, why did Rin come to Emiya's house?" Zabiko asked, looking at the blond Rin who was coming to Mooncell.

"Huh? I'm here to find Leo. I heard from Mr. Julius that he came to Emiya's house. After all, I'm the head of the finance department. Naturally, I came to find the boss diligently~"

(And then you are as diligent as I am to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, and confess me before I realize it...)

"Did Hakuno leave Gilgamesh again? It's not a good behavior to come to another boy's house~" Rin looked at Zabizi worriedly.

——Although I really want to ask why she cares so much about her "relationship" with Jill, but seeing the obvious money symbols in Rin's eyes... everything is in plain sight...

"I'm also here to look for Leo. I met Lani just now, and she asked me to help deliver things." Zabizi took out the document and handed it to the blond boy.

"Thank you very much. As expected of Lani, the efficiency is really high." Leo, who has a very BOSS temperament, carefully flipped through the file, full of the protagonist's sense of sight—on the other hand, the other two, not to mention the constantly frustrated one. The wolf Wei Gongshi, who is enthusiastic about baking pastries and entertaining uninvited guests, has completely evolved into a fixed NPC cook and nanny.

"Please use~" Mama Emiya kindly brought out the plates, and distributed them to everyone in turn.

"thank you very much."

"Thank you~"

"Grateful."

"It smells so fragrant, it's worthy of being a soldier~"

"..."

"Hey, Kishiba, don't just eat it, at least say thank you." The coyote nanny was speechless to the chestnut-haired girl who ate without saying a word.

"What~ Emiya-san made the snacks for the thanks of others?"

"no……"

"That's fine~ Well, thank you~"

"...You... By the way, you haven't been to school for a long time, right? ——Hokuhara Academy."

"The topic jumps a lot—it's true that I haven't been there for a long time, and I'm already in the third grade before I know it... But have you forgotten my identity? Please forgive me for letting me go to school now~"

"Don't worry, everyone knows you're lazy..."

"Hey, Wei Gong-san, do I know you very well? Hurting me so much?"

"... What I want to say is that the school will hold a cultural festival tomorrow. You have never participated in it before, do you want to go and see it?" Wei Gong Shilang sighed and said kindly.

"...No need, I'm not interested..."

"Is Emiya's school going to hold a celebration tomorrow?" Blonde Rin suddenly interjected before Kishinami Hakuno could finish speaking.

"Well, it's not a celebration... It's like an off-campus open day, but the students will actively participate in the preparation of the program. There are also food stalls, coffee shops, etc. It's similar to a celebration."

"It's just a large-scale club event. You can buy food and other things on the street. If you want to play, there is also a special playground. There is no need to go~" Kishiba Hakuno replied with a slightly decadent look.

"...I was really surprised, I thought Bai Ye would be very excited." Rin looked at Zabizi in disbelief.

"Well, I was a little looking forward to it before, but now I'm also wandering around leisurely. There's basically no difference. Anyway, it's not much fun to be alone. It's so embarrassing to meet my original classmates and not know any of them."

Zabizi spread his hands helplessly.

"...Tsk, I really can't stand it, this kind of celebration is a good time for couples to get along well!! Why do you say such stupid things as 'going alone'!!" Rin suddenly said anxiously.

"...Huh? Do you want me to invite any male companion? Carrying things for errands?—Forget it, Jill will definitely kill me if she sees it."

"So the first thing you should think of is not to invite Kim Pika, why would you involve someone else?"

"It's Rin who is whimsical, right? Do you think he will participate in that kind of child's thing? - Why should I ask him out? Date? - Even I don't believe it."

"Wh-what's the matter? — Usually it's just a date, aren't you guys dating?" Rin said awkwardly as Zabizi looked at him with idiot eyes.

"..."

On the other side, Kishinami Hakuno suddenly became silent, his eyes widened, as if he heard something unbelievable.

"What happened this time?" Rin asked with his hands in his arms.

"...No, I'm surprised, are Jill and I dating?" Bai Ye looked straight at Rin Tohsaka and asked.

"Huh? - What are you still talking about? Isn't it natural! You have even done that kind of thing, and now you realize it?" Rin stared at Bai Ye as if he was looking at some unknown creature.

"That kind of thing happened because of the circumstances, anyway, I don't hate it... Jill won't have such a thing as a girlfriend~ Although the relationship is strange, we are not lovers." Kishinami Hakuno said expressionlessly as a matter of course.

"...What is that, do you want to say that you are a carnivore?"

"That's not what I mean, I like him very much, and he probably has a crush on me too, but we don't have any constraints other than the relationship between Servant and Master, like that?——A heroic spirit who has lived for more than 4000 years suddenly falls in love It's not realistic at all, I think the current relationship is already good..."

"...What are you afraid of?" Rin asked suddenly,

"Nothing..." Kishinami Hakuno replied, but before the girl finished speaking, the blond girl said angrily again like a queen,

"If you want it, you can fight for it yourself! What's so ignorant?! What happened in 4000 years, that second middle school king is obviously just a brat who only knows how to plunder! ——Bai Ye, you too, girls so What kind of man is irresponsible to give him all the precious things!!"

"But, but those are magicians and Servants... Obviously Rin doesn't care..." Suddenly frightened by the furious blond girl with two ponytails, Zabizi hesitated, his voice getting smaller and smaller.

"I'm a professional magician with orthodox education, aren't you Bai Ye, don't compare yourself to me!!"

"I'm so sorry, Queen!!" Trembling and not daring to look directly at him, Zabizi tremblingly accepted the re-education (xinao) of King Rin.

"...Forget it, anyway, the real fault is that idiot Kim Pika, he won't tell you any stupid things like 'this king won't fall in love with anyone', right? He is arrogant and you are not wrong Know……"

"...I didn't say that" Mou Zha, who was forced to suffer, lied again unintentionally.

"In short, even if you have the facts, you two idiots with zero EQ still have to start from the very beginning and go on a date with me tomorrow. It's pure love, and a kiss is the limit! Do you understand!!"

"..."

"What's the answer?!"

"...Yes!!...Well, the most important question, Jill won't come..."

"I'll help you over there, what's wrong with the Servant accompanying the Master! The rest is up to you, Leo and I will monitor the whole process, don't even try to escape!!" Rin said domineeringly.

"Wait, Tohsaka-san, why am I... I'm sorry, I understand, everything is according to your order!!" Leo, who succumbed to a gaze, instantly rebelled, and looked at Zabizi sympathetically——and watched him go The look of the funeral.

——However, even though he accepted the "task" in such a muddleheaded manner, Zabizi never dared to tell Tohsaka Rin that the date that was monitored was not called a date at all, and that she underestimated the hero king's second-year level. will definitely end in failure...
