Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

The symptoms of Jack the Ripper are very simple and easy to deal with.The magic power is only overdrawn, if there is no magic power, it is enough to replenish the magic power.But Midori Ayako, as an ordinary person he has just confirmed repeatedly, unless he squeezes his own vitality, he cannot produce the energy that a Servant like magic power needs.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Ayako about these little things.

I'm not sure this silly girl will squeeze her own life to save Jack, which will turn Rope's horses upside down.

——He helped Jack because of his affection for Ayako Mizutsu.

However, the drying up of magic power...

Rope looked at the unconscious white-haired girl in Ayako's arms, and his expression gradually became subtle.

Chapter [-] The addition of magic power is also necessary

At midnight, there was a light rain in Fuyuki.

Braving the pattering rain, Rope and Midori Ayako came to the girl's residence.

As she said, this is an old house where the Meizu family doesn't come often.The duplex Japanese-style building, after opening the door, a smell of stale tatami came to the face, and Rope could even see the white cobwebs on the ceiling.

This certainly does not testify to the history of this house.

If I had known this earlier, I might as well kill people and rob houses... Rope muttered to himself.

But now that he's here, it's useless to say that, he's still so hypocritical.

Rope put the rain-soaked suit on the hanger indoors, found a clean place to sit down, put one hand on the window sill and watched the rain outside the window bored.

After a while, Mizutsu Ayako returned to the living room.

"Is it set up?"

"Ah."

In stark contrast to Rope who doesn't consider himself an outsider at all, Ayako Midori in a pink coat is sitting in front of him looking very restrained.

"Looking at her, she seems to be in pain..."

"Of course." Rope laughed: "Magic power is as important to Servants as blood is to humans. If people lose a lot of blood, no matter what they think, they can't be fine, right?"

The girl didn't answer, she lowered her eyes with a complicated expression.

"The Holy Grail War, magicians, heroic spirits... Being involved in such an incredible event, I thought it was just a TV show fiction."

On the way here, Rope had already told Midori Ayako in detail about the magician and the Holy Grail War.

"Everything has an origin. Maybe the original fantasy writers only saw the real mystery that opened up the space for human imagination." Rope said.

"Compared to this, what are your plans now, Miss Ayako Mizutsu?"

"……Intend?"

"About your Servant, Berserker Jack." Rope looked at the girl's brown eyes.

"Because of some of my personal reasons, I can help you in a small area without any payment, including the treatment of Berserker, and even turn a blind eye to you from the standpoint of the Master. But Miss Mizutsu Ayako, as As I said before, the Holy Grail War is a war between seven masters and seven heroic spirits in order to compete for the last cup of almighty. If you choose to keep the Servant, many unpredictable troubles will happen in the future. It is like the Berserker class heroic spirit. The characteristic is crazy, looking at your Command Spell, Jack has already caused you trouble, right?"

The girl's expression became flustered.

It has to be said that, according to the similarity between the girl and the two rituals, it is also a rather fresh and interesting experience to see the expressions on Ayako that are impossible for the two rituals.

After a long silence, Ayako Mizutsu spoke with difficulty.

"Thank you so much for your help and reminder, Mr. Rope, but I still want to help that kid. Not for the Holy Grail, just plain...don't want to be ungrateful out of fear."

Asking the girl to give up the person who desperately protects her like that, Ayako Mizutsu asked herself, she couldn't do it.

"So, are you ready to take on other people's lives?"

"Other...life?" Mizutsu Ayako was stunned.

Then she suddenly remembered what the green-haired heroic spirit had said when they first met.

——“To let that guy kill ordinary people who have nothing to do with hunting, you must be a raccoon dog.”

Hunting ordinary people... Carrying other people's lives... I have no magic power... Human life can be converted into magic... Jack needs magic to maintain the world...

The information was linked together, and the already very smart Ayako Mizutsu understood why Jack had a conflict with the green-haired heroic spirit in the first place, and also understood the inexplicable killing intent of the green-haired heroic spirit towards her.

The girl's body was pierced with chills.

It wasn't because of the rain outside the window, but she finally knew what the girl who called her "mom" and desperately tried to protect her did.

"It seems you understand. You only know that your Servant is called Jack, but as a well-known figure in history, do you know her prefix?"

"...what is it?"

"You must have heard of it."

Rope laughed, and slowly spit out the truth of Berserker to Ayako Mizutsu.

"The Ying Kingdom in 1888 filled the whole of London with fear, and it was also the most famous serial killer of that era - Jack the Ripper!"

"..."

Of course, Ayako Midsatsu had already mentioned the name of "Jack the Ripper".

That has become one of the famous unsolved cases in the world. Even the advanced technology cannot deduce the true identity of the murderer at that time, a mysterious murderer.

It's just that what Mizutsu Ayako can't imagine is—
