My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

Chapter 587 Dan Blackmore

what happened?

what happened?

Why am I here?

The tragic impact of the failure caused Shenji's consciousness to go blank for a short time. When he came back to his senses, he fell into an unacceptable rage: "Why... why? Why did my servant lose!"

"I should be perfect and shouldn't lose to anyone!"

"No...that's right, it's all your fault, Rider! It shouldn't have been like this...I was held back by this disappointing Servant! What a useless guy!"

In the end, tears rolled down Shen'er's face. He didn't look like a mentally mature person, but more like a child rolling around: "Boring! This kind of game is so boring! Wuwuwuwuwu... …”

"I really can't stand it any longer." Shuo Yue sighed, the golden crown bow fell into her hand, the arrow feathers trembled slightly, and she aimed it at the crying boy.

"What are you going to do, Shuo Yue!" Bai Ye was startled and hurriedly stopped him, then looked at Shen Er hurriedly, "Shen Er... the winner has been decided. Let's go back and find a way back to the ground together."

"Stop blabbering there!" As if he had found an outlet, Shenji had tears in his eyes and rushed towards Bai Ye with a ferocious look on his face. "Didn't you just win this rubbish game! Wait for me and come back. Come to reality, let me know who you are—!"

The blood-colored spirit barrier fell, as if it separated the sky and the earth, separating Shen Er from Bai Ye.

Together with it, the severed arm flew high.

"……ah……?"

When his arm fell to the ground with a thud and turned into a spirit and dissipated, Shinji realized the truth in the intense pain that tore his soul. He looked at the world around him that had turned into blood, and his body that began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. Further screams came from his mouth.

"Whoa, whoaaah! My arms, my body! Wha, what! This is, my body - disappearing?!"

The screaming Shinji's hands, feet, and body began to disappear gradually, along with the servants who were watching him from the side.

"If you lose in the Holy Grail War, you will die. Shinji, as the Master, you should have known this for a long time."

"Ha!? Death, how is death possible? What the Moon Spirit Crystal said was to withdraw forever! Ah..."

Finally, Matou Shinji realized a fact.

As Masters, they arrived inside this wishing machine left behind by the gods by "spiritualizing" their own minds, bodies and souls and sending them into the computer world.

In other words, the permanent withdrawal of the Moon Spirit Crystal means the total destruction of the soul, spirit, and body.

In other words - death.

"It's what you think, Master." Even though he was also on the verge of death, with half of his face immersed in the void of data, Drake still had a fearless smile on his face, "Losing in the Holy Grail War means losing. That’s it. Besides, from the moment you arrive here, all of you (Masters) are as good as dead.”

Under such cruel rules, the Masters who come here with hope are like worms imprisoned in a cage. Only by fighting, fighting, and fighting continuously can they step on the bones and blood and become the last one. A survivor.

This is the truth of the Holy Grail War of the Moon.

"There is really only one person who can go back alive."

Under the gentle yet cruel words of the servant, Shinji held his head in his hands and collapsed.

"Wha... no, don't say this until now...! Here, do something for me, the servant should help the master, right!?"

"Really? But I said it when I signed the contract at the beginning, right? Shenji?" Derek smiled happily from the bottom of his heart. Most of her figure had faded and she was almost invisible, "'Give I'm ready to wake up, no matter whether I win or lose! The villain will be so miserable in the end!'"

Finally, she looked at us with a smile, and the figure of the female pirate suddenly disappeared. The first heroic man who completed a circumnavigation of the world alive, the great navigator who changed the history of the world, was smiling happily until the end.

This concise ending clearly announced the end of Shinji and his inevitable fate.

"Hey, hey! Don't disappear without authorization! Please help me, don't bring anything like this!? Bai Ye, Bai Ye! Are we friends? We are friends! Please help me!"

"He should have been released a long time ago, Master." Shuo Yue, who was beside him, showed an uncharacteristic coldness, "At least this way, he can embrace death unconsciously."

Therefore, Shuo Yue knew about this from the beginning, but never told me.

After realizing this, I did not give up. I shouted to Shenji through the barrier, raised my head to the moon spirit crystal to protest, begged, and shouted angrily - and then with joy and joy, I looked at the extremely ugly person who was killed by my own hands. The appearance of a friend on his deathbed.

【--Disappeared】

【A person named Matou Shinji】

[its soul, its being, complete]

【Leaving no trace】

[What remains are only the winners]

[——This is how the Holy Grail War ends]

Opening her eyes suddenly, the girl jumped up from the bed like an electric shock and looked around.

The natural and warm cabin, the murals hanging on the walls, the burning fireplace, the crisp sound of the music box and the carefully cooked lunch on the table... It seems that nothing has happened, and it seems that something has been irretrievably lost.

After realizing that he was in his own room, Kishinami Hakuno covered his face with his hands, and after a while, he let out a tired sigh.

"What a nightmare."

Ever since the battle ended and she returned to her room, she fell unconscious on the bed and fell into a coma. It was only now that she woke up from the recurring nightmare.

"Is it already...the second day?" Bai Ye stood up. The long sleep and hunger made her eyes darken, and she was about to fall down.

A pair of hands hugged her beside her, lifting her up gently.

"Although I will not express my love for gentle people, even if I only spent a short time, it is the death of a friend. Sighs, emotions, and sadness are understandable." The white-haired young man lowered his head and wiped the girl's face. Tears stained, those natural eyes blinked, not resisting, but closed their eyes as if a little scared, and the delicate body and Shuo Yue got closer.

"Although your tears are not beautiful, they can move people's hearts... Yes, although I can't express it well, my Master is a human being of flesh and blood. This makes me sincerely happy."

Having said that, Bai Ye could not capture any emotion from the young man's face, there was only an unspeakable calmness.

"Sakuyue...Shenji is also your friend, right? Are you indifferent to his death?"

After a moment of silence, the young man looked away: "It's just that I'm used to it. No, it's more appropriate to say it's numb."

"If we fail to recover because someone is left behind, we won't even be able to finish our own journey."

Bai Ye understood that this was Shuo Yue's true words, and then she heard the young man murmuring in a low voice:

"What's more, I don't have time to deal with that guy Shenji. I have more important things to do at hand... Well, it's nothing."

"Huh?" Bai Yeyuan noticed. She puffed up her cheeks and didn't say anything. She just raised her head and looked at Shuo Yue.

stare--

Under the attack of Master Affinity Max's eyes, Shuo Yue was quickly defeated and smiled helplessly: "Do you have to press so hard? Okay, then I'll just tell you."

The young man opened his arms, took a few steps back, and looked at Hakuno Kishinami seriously: "You should understand that my becoming a servant is an unnatural phenomenon. The reasons are very complicated, but I must solve it. That’s the question.”

Sensing the determination in Shuo Yue's tone, Bai Ye widened his eyes. The wind blew outside the window, blowing the young man's red clothes and white hair, making him feel an indescribable sense of alienation.

"So... I'm sorry, but I will protect you until the second battle."

————

[You should have the ability of a master, Shiro. If you don’t find a suitable servant, I will show up to help you before every decisive battle. Even if I am not here, please fight to survive, Shiro. wild. 】

"...Wow, that guy Shuo Yue, I really don't know if he is a scumbag or not."

In the cafeteria, Tohsaka Rin stirred coffee and listened to Hakuno finish telling what happened in the morning. He felt a little unbelievable: "Although I said I was leaving, I didn't abandon you completely. I was burdened with something overtly and secretly, and yet I promised to protect you again." What are you talking about? Schrödinger’s follower?”

"Hmmmm..." The brown-haired girl put her cheek against the cold tea table, her beautiful face listless, like a lost puppy.

"But it's really unbelievable to say it. I didn't expect that Asia's leading game champion would lose to you. Well, that fool hasn't experienced it yet. He is a magician who participated in the Holy Grail War just for fun. , it will lead to such an end. What, it is a very unseemly death, right?"

Although he didn't want to slander the deceased, Hakuno nodded involuntarily when he recalled how Shinji was crying.

Speaking of which, perhaps the news of Sakutsu's departure was so shocking that she didn't even care about Shinji's death.

"This is a battlefield. What can you do if you care about the loser? The loser in the battlefield only dies, and that's all." The small spoon knocked on the edge of the cup, and Tohsaka Rin said in a serious tone, "This is a truth that everyone understands. You and Shenji are the strangers in the wrong place."

Suddenly, the girl with the same beautiful personality and figure lost her temper: "Fighting without consciousness is really an eyesore. If you have neither the consciousness to die nor the spirit to kill, just hide in a corner of the world." Go and tremble alone."

"..."

The ladies' afternoon tea time was over, and Sakusuki disappeared again after saying those words. Hakuno was walking alone in the corridor, still recalling Rin's last words of warning to her.

[The only winner of the Holy Grail War can realize any wish, so everyone who comes here has the purpose of realizing their wishes no matter what happens. 】

[Of course, there is also the consciousness of taking life for it, and the consciousness of losing life when it fails. 】

[It’s okay to escape reality, but even if you’re wrapped up in a blanket, the second battle will definitely come. 】

[The master who can win without awareness no longer exists. 】

[Oh, by the way, and, um... help me ask Sakuyue-san if you have time, if you are interested in becoming my servant after the Second World War, my conditions are still valid! 】

Bai Ye:? ? ?

Your true nature has been exposed, Rin!

Taking steps forward, Bai Ye came to the bulletin board, waiting for the announcement of information about the second round of battle, but he was still thinking in his mind.

Everything is as Rin said. Everyone here has a strong will. In front of these opponents, I can't win easily.

I still have no reason to win.

Does such a self have the right to trample on their wishes?

"...Well, are you the next opponent?" The old man standing next to her interrupted Bai Ye's thinking. Bai Ye turned around and saw that his hair was white without any impurities. From his face to his physique, he was... It leaves an impression of age, but for some reason, this old man doesn't feel aging.

To describe it, it is a big tree covered with deep growth rings.

A style that matches his age and an unshakable toughness drive aging away from this old man——

Quickly turning his head to look, Bai Ye clearly saw the name displayed on the bulletin board.

[Master: Dan Blackmore]

[Decisive Battlefield: Erzuki Xianghai]
