Although there was a lot of fog surrounding the maid, Emiya Kiritsugu understood Meru after getting along with her for so many years. She is not the kind of reckless and reckless person, so even if she brought back this unknown Caster without asking any questions, and signed a contract to become the master and provide magic power for the heroic spirit to stay in the mansion, he has no objection mean.
If there was anyone in this world who cared more about Illya's safety than his biological father, it would be Melu. She never joked about this point.
But for this Caster, who was forced by the situation, but no matter how you looked at it, he still had doubts in his heart.
"With the support of your magical power, you can still find someone else to be your master?" When no one was around, he looked at Caster who was left in the house to cultivate, "Why did you choose Merlu, witch beauty? Dia?"
At this time, Caster, who was sitting on the edge of the veranda, had already taken off the hood and cloak on his head, revealing a beautiful and slender face, with long purple hair hanging down his back, holding a maid in her hands to make a bath for her. Good black tea, look down at your own reflection in the tea water, such a demure and beautiful posture, you can’t tell that this is a Greek myth who killed his relatives and brothers for love and abandoned the country, and finally killed his rivals and parents because of her husband’s betrayal Scary Witch.
Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been a killer before, was very patient, and he also slowly drank Japanese tea in his hands. Sure enough, after a while of silence, he finally heard the other party speak.
"Because of the eyes."
Eye? Kiritsugu was taken aback. He thought that the other party would answer that the maid's magic power was strong, or simply say that it was because of the desperate situation, but he didn't expect it to be this.
"The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was her eyes. The Master's eyes reminded me of my former self." The female voice was calm and gentle, as if she was telling a story.
Clear and pure, pure and without any impurities, everyone looks so innocent and beautiful, much like myself who has never met that person.
"She's different from you." Kiritsugu said in a deep voice, "If you're just curious about her ending, then there's no need."
Medea laughed lowly: "I'm just curious about her ending. She is different from me. Although she has a harmless and lovable face, she is more rational than me, calmer than me, and even more sympathetic. Cruel. Maybe I will never fall into love like me, but once such a person becomes crazy, he will definitely be more terrifying than me. So the first time I saw her, I couldn't help but want to stay by her side and take a good look Go."
Each of these mythical heroic spirits has some weird personalities. While Emiya Kiritsugu was feeling tired, he was shocked by Caster's words.
Merlu is actually somewhat similar to the uneducated Illya. She has absolutely no resistance to murder or even human experimentation. In order to get Illya out of the sea of suffering, she can suggest to her daughter to kill her relatives and seize power without hesitation. It is said that if Illya has no ethical concepts because no one teaches them, the knowledgeable and powerful maid does not care at all as long as she understands these principles. Those ethics, morality, and even conscience that bind the world are worse than paper in front of the master and the master's orders.
Emiya Kiritsugu even suspected that if Illya said she was going to conquer the world or destroy the world, Merru would not hesitate to kill all those who stood in front of her—no matter how close or close those people were to her before .
This is where the maid frightens him. She is clearly flesh and blood, has subjective consciousness, and is instinctively close to someone with a noble personality like Saber. She knows how to be considerate and take care of everyone at all times, but occasionally it feels more like using those The humanoid machine wrapped in soft and sweet camouflage is warm, fresh and bright on the outside, but after being peeled off, the inside is barren, cold and empty.
Just then, footsteps came from behind.
"Sir, Master Caster, it's time for dinner in two hours. Do you two have anything you want to eat today?" The maid who was about to go out to buy ingredients began to ask for instructions for dinner after finishing her housework.
"Ah..." When it comes to eating, Emiya Kiritsugu's enthusiasm is obviously mobilized, his dignity as the head of the family when the children are away from school is sometimes recovered from setting the menu, "It seems that what I ate yesterday was Curry, let’s make grilled eel rice for today’s staple food, and for miso, make tofu white miso, and other side dishes are up to you.”
"Yes, grilled eel rice and tofu miso soup, I've made a note." The maid responded softly, and turned her questioning gaze to Caster.
Being looked at by her master with the same attitude as a guest, Caster, who had been abused by her former master before, was a little confused, but she quickly came back to her senses, and tentatively said, "Moussaka."
Moussaka is a very traditional Greek delicacy. It looks a lot like Italian lasagna, but its taste is completely different. It is made by making "bricks" of minced meat, potatoes and eggplants, adding skin and cheese in the oven It is delicious and light. The princess of the Greek country knows that this is Japan, and she doesn't know whether it can...
"Moussaka, yes, I see." The other party repeated the name of the dish in authentic Greek, and after confirming, he saluted them and turned to leave.
Even if she becomes the Master, the maid still puts her original identity as the first place, and she has no intention of looking down on Caster with the Command Seal in hand.
The two of them watched the maid leave with complicated expressions on their faces, Emiya Kiritsugu was better after all these years of contact, but Medea was really a little stunned.
"My Master is really different..."
Four of the seven groups of participants are in Wei Gong's house. The main reason for maintaining a harmonious atmosphere is that apart from the relationship between relatives and classmates, it is the matter of sitting at the same table to eat after school every day. From the master to the heroic spirit, no one is left behind. Everyone has something delicious every day. The delicacies made by Mei Lu are so delicious that even the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family brings Archer to have dinner every day after school. It didn’t take too long from the embarrassment at the beginning to the grabbing each other’s food later. Time is too much, who made Weigong's family's food so delicious, the end of being polite to a group of hungry wolves is starving himself.
Until one day later, she didn't show up at the dinner table where she would definitely show up. Shirou and others who didn't hear anything from her knew that something happened to her.
Rin Tohsaka is in trouble, but the other team members are not vegetarians either. They have already analyzed and dealt with all kinds of accidents they will encounter in the jihad. In particular, there is a caster class among them with a lot of means, using the positioning method that has been placed on each member long ago, to get Miss Rin's position and situation in minutes.
"Matou Shinji and Kotomine Kirei teamed up, and they kidnapped Rin Tohsaka."
"Miscalculation, it seems that they have taken the opportunity because they have relaxed their vigilance because the wind has been too smooth recently."
"Shirou, Illya, you guys go and save Rin, and Kotomine Kirei will be handed over to me." Emiya Kiritsugu no longer always wore a kimono hakama, but changed into the suit of a magician killer. He said to his children with a serious face, "I am more familiar with dealing with this person than you."
Thinking about the result of the father killing each other last time, the siblings looked at each other and stopped talking.
The address and opponents are all cleared up, and everyone who is ready gets up immediately and is about to set off. If you rescue Tohsaka early, you can go home for dinner early.
"Miss, please wait a moment." The maid stopped everyone at this time, and smiled slightly when she saw them looking over, "According to the information from the previous fight, the heroic spirit owned by the priest has been confirmed to be Lancer. Regarding this , I have a little suggestion, I hope Lord Caster and Mr. Caster can adopt it."
In the closed utility room, Tohsaka Rin was tied to a chair and her mouth was sealed, unable to call for help. Even in this situation, she still raised her eyes and stared fiercely at the man in the priest's costume in front of her. She would roar if she could talk.
Kotomine Kirei! !
His father was indeed killed by his own hands!
But now she is just a piece of meat on the chopping board. No matter how disgusted her eyes are, to the priest with a twisted mind, she is as powerless as a kitten's teeth and claws, even a little ridiculous.
"Lancer, took her heart. An important chess piece that has been cultivated for ten years must be useful. As a container for the Holy Grail, she doesn't need a heart."
When the priest ordered his heroic spirit to take Tohsaka Rin's heart, the spearman who admired the little girl's character simply rejected him, and the heroic spirit who acted upright directly threatened to use the command spell to force him to do so. alright.
"Then there is no other way." The priest sighed helplessly, and rolled up the sleeve of the arm engraved with the Command Seal, "I issue an order in the name of the Command Seal, Lancer, commit suicide."
The heroic young man who was still standing firmly before was no longer under his control when the command spell took effect. He raised his favorite gun and skillfully played a gun flower, but finally pointed the sharp point at his heart .
Even though his expression was astonished, and his heart was extremely resistant to such absurd orders, Lancer's arm still carried the point of the gun and pressed down on his chest little by little.
Lancer!
Seeing that the scene of self-mutilation was about to take place, Rin Tohsaka heard the sound of the window being smashed through with great force. When Lancer's gun tip was only an inch away from his chest and was about to splatter blood on the spot, an invisible sword directly hit Long. On the gun, knock the weapon out.
The sapphire blue skirt was flying, and the heroic figure of the girl appeared on the stage like a king who saved the world. Rin Tohsaka suddenly showed surprise in his eyes.
Saber!
Here comes her companion!
"It's not over yet!" The blond-haired knight girl raised the invisible sword in her hand and slashed at Kotomine Kirei next to her, causing the small room that was originally a utility room to become chaotic in an instant.
But for Lancer, who still has the effect of the spell, if the gun in his hand is gone, it is just another weapon to try again. Just when he found another sharp weapon in his hand and was about to stab himself in the throat, suddenly there were more guns around him. A black and purple witch figure, the opponent raised a unique short knife and stabbed at the gap in his armor.
Noble Phantasm, Ten Thousand Talismans must break the precept!
It has only one function, to reset the contract of magic power to a blank sheet of paper. It is used in the current occasion, that is, to terminate the Holy Grail master-slave contract between Lancer and Kotomine Kirei on the spot.
As soon as the contact between the two parties was broken, Lancer's involuntary suicide behavior was instantly resolved.
"Hehehe." The witch smiled lowly, and the spell of charm was activated directly when Lancer broke the contract, "Become a member of us, Lancer."
What
When the heroic spirit, who was still in a state of confusion, came back to his senses, he raised his palm and exchanged a contract with Emiya Kiritsugu who rushed in by high-fiving. Seeing the Command Spell emerging from the back of the man's hand, he knew that he was in such a situation. In the blink of an eye, the master has changed.
Unlike him who used a cold weapon to hold a gun, the new master stood in front of Kotomine Kirei holding a pistol of a modern weapon in one hand. Saber, who was still attacking in front of him before, was untying Tohsaka Rin. The witch who appeared like a ghost also disappeared like a ghost at this moment, only Lancer stood still in place before adapting to the changing situation.
A minute ago he was ordered to prepare to commit suicide, right? The owner changed after a minute
Who will explain the situation to him
It's a pity that no one at the scene was so considerate, only the new master standing in front confessed without looking back: "Leave it to Kotomine Kirei, you take Rin back first."
After Saber pulled Rin Tohsaka up, she greeted the spearmen directly: "Lancer, let's go, come back to the palace residence with us first."
The phrase "return to the palace house" brought Lancer back to his senses, and instantly realized his position. He said in a solemn tone, "No, we can't leave yet."
"What's the matter?" Rin Tosaka, who had dealt with Lancer several times, knew very well that he was actually very dissatisfied with Kotomine Kirei, "You want to stay here and vent your anger on the fake priest?"
"No, that's not the case." Lancer shook his head, looking at Kotomine Kirei who was confronting Emiya Kiritsugu, "I'm not the only Heroic Spirit held by Kotomine, but also..."
Before he could finish speaking, the golden rain of swords had already smashed in.
At this time, regardless of enemy or friend, they all avoided. Under the countless sharp knives, guns, swords and halberds, the outer wall was riddled with holes, and finally collapsed into the sky. Amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, a blond man with his hands in his pockets stood opposite him. Looming, countless large and small golden swirls hung behind him like a curtain.
With this massive attack and the familiar figure, Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed their eyes at the same time: "Gilgamesh!?"
Archer, the heroic spirit of the last Holy Grail War, the hero king in Mesopotamian mythology, Gilgamesh!
"You got a body?" Emiya Kiritsugu, who had fully seen the figure of the other party after the smoke cleared, was startled at first, and then quickly realized, "It's because of the black mud poured in after I chopped up the Holy Grail last time." Well, it’s no wonder Kotomine Kirei is also resurrected.” Although the black mud caused the fire in Fuyuki City, it also allowed these two people to survive, and only he, the one who chopped the Holy Grail, was cursed by the evil of this world.
However, the King of Heroes on the opposite side didn't even look at them. His red pupils swept around everything in the room, as if his originally handsome face quickly turned ferocious because he couldn't get what he wanted.
"Where's Mei Lu!" He yelled directly at everyone in the field, "That woman knows I'm here, but she dares to avoid her! As my king's thing, who would allow you miscellaneous cultivators to hide her?" of!"
"Huh? What stupid things are you talking about?" Tohsaka Rin was the first to yell out dissatisfied, "When did Merlu belong to you! Even if she is Illya's maid, she is still a living person, okay? "
But Emiya Kiritsugu's heart skipped a beat, the maid's mysterious combination with what the King of Heroes said in front of him made him have unbelievable associations.
"Maid? That man-made one? Does she deserve it?" The hero king on the opposite side laughed disdainfully when he heard the words, "Stop dreaming. Mei Lu belonged to this king five thousand years ago, but she came from my side privately. Just defected."
In the end, his face was contorted with resentment.
