Artoria the Big Liar

I'm pretty unimpressed with this lunatic.

Yes, lunatics, not fanatics.

Earlier in the car, Assassin explained to me that fanaticism and madness are two different things.

If you don't have humanity and rationality, no matter how pious you are, you will be extremely arrogant and crazy.Because that kind of lunatic doesn't think that the gods in the scriptures are the real gods at all, only the gods he thinks are.As a result, he put himself in a position higher than God, using his own imagination to pollute and fabricate the existence of God.

Even if the god this guy believes in really exists, but "dedicating reason to God" and "praying with battle" is 100% a dark and corrupt evil god, not a benevolent god with a heart full of benevolence.

However, in front of me, Saber still reminded me.

"True bird, this is a residential area."

"I know." I responded in a low voice, and then asked the crazy servant in front of me loudly: "So, Berserker, what are you here for, to pray to the god you believe in in a fighting way?"

"I'm sorry, the priest himself said that any form of fighting is prohibited in residential areas."

From the rainstorm, a male figure emerged in front of me.

He is tall and thin, wearing a red shirt, black vest, red trousers, and flat-shaped full-rim glasses. His appearance has been properly arranged, and he looks very cultivated, just like a person who has inherited a lot The heir to the magic family from generation to generation.

But, it's just a look.Those sharp ears had betrayed his parentage.The frivolous aura emanating from him also made me sick, and the unhurried tone and pinched voice made me want to vomit even more—this is a half-goblin, and a half-goblin in the 21st century.No matter how well dressed he was, he was already rotten.

As he said that, he laughed, which almost made me unable to keep my gaze: "Oh, don't look at me like this, I am also a magician of the Magicians Association anyway, and I am not a holy grail that has been completely polluted. The Church of the Holy Church hunted it down to the ends of the earth—if a guy like me was really targeted by the Church, he would definitely die soon.”

"You are the master of Berserker?" I tried to hold back the physical nausea.

"Isn't this a matter of course?" His smile became even more disgusting, "Well... this time, I just want to ask about your attitude. Are you interested in forming an alliance with me, the master of the Holy Grail research school? At least in the future Is there a follow-up too?"

"I know the identities of the other masters. The three holy grail families are all staunch disintegrators, and the master of Assassin was hired by the disintegration faction. The master of Rider acted alone and had her own purpose. As a result, the so-called research faction is only you ?”

"It can't be helped. Who made the names of the three young ladies too famous in the magic world? Not to mention that the lord of the clock tower and the magician who is acting strangely and protecting his weaknesses are standing on the platform for them." Even if other magicians really want to study the Holy Grail, they can’t act rashly because of some rules in the magic world. As a result, I, a worthless guy who does dirty work, can only work for these masters and try to earn some living expenses.”

I understood right away.This guy is not here to work at all, but to have fun.

Goblins are such creatures, for their own spiritual pleasure, they are not afraid of death at all, and can do anything.

As for his suggestion... the puking sensation in my body has already made the decision for me.

"Sorry, I have a good relationship with the master of Assassin, and I have formed an alliance with the disintegration faction."

"Oh, there's no need to be so anxious, Master of Saber." He paused, and continued: "Think carefully, there is a group of four coming over there? You are not an ordinary magician, you must be You only participate if you have your own wish? Although the Holy Grail belongs to the Yusan Family in name, but just letting them succeed, are you really so satisfied? Is that the Holy Grail? Let’s not talk about the wishing mechanism, just the huge The magical power of the earth veins can reverse the reality, and it can be of great use!"

"It sounds very deceptive, but I will definitely do what I said." I squinted my eyes, recalled a little, and then asked: "Also, the guy who attacked the homeless man on the TV news is You? I really didn’t expect that the Association of Magicians would degenerate to such an extent and send something like you to join the battle.”

"It's nothing, it's just that some of Berserker's abilities need human blood to activate that's all. I treated those poor people well? And I paid them the highest price in the market, which is enough for them to eat for a month. !"

Heh... treat it well?Isn't it tortured to death-or simply dead?

After all, in the eyes of a goblin who lacks fear of death, giving a clean death is already a kind of favor.

"Sure enough, it's still rhetoric..." The corners of my mouth drew a sneer and sarcasm, and I said coldly: "Do you really think that I can't see what you are? A lowly thing like you with goblin blood , I’m afraid I’ve lost the normal human emotions, only fun and impulsiveness? It’s fine if you stay in the world of goblins honestly, but unfortunately you can’t go back, you can only pretend to be a human being—the current you, I’m afraid Crazier than your followers, right?"

"...You can tell it at a glance, it seems that your identity is not simple, little girl!"

"Of course...my strength is not weaker than the followers."

Of course, I just said this verbally, and I don't need to reveal my identity yet.

The Master himself has the combat power of a top-level servant, and it is the trump card of the combination of me and Saber.

As long as there is a master who can't think about it, and tries to sneak attack me or fight me head-on, I will definitely be cut to the ground by me three or two times, and then I will lose. The body of modern people lacks the strengthening of real ether, and even the way of storing magic power is degraded To the point of relying on magic circuits.No matter how powerful a magician is, he will never be my opponent.

"That's really interesting, I really want to see it..." The master of Berserker scanned around, it was not late at night, and the lights of the residents were still cold, so he shook his head and said, "Oh, it's really It's a pity. I really can't afford to offend that priest...then we are destined to meet again, Master of Saber!"

As he spoke, his figure and Berserker's figure disappeared into the torrential rain.

"Ugh... vomit...!"

After confirming that they were gone, I finally couldn't bear the nausea, and immediately retched.

Saber immediately took my arm, holding the plastic umbrella firmly so that I wouldn't fall on this torrential street.

After spitting hard, I regained my footing.

In order to relieve the depression in my heart, I started to swear again - of course, my father does not allow me to swear, and Saber is by my side, so my words of swearing are quite graceful.

"What a disgusting bastard! The voice is disgusting, the tone of voice is disgusting, and the existence itself is disgusting! This kind of thing should be eliminated from the beginning, not only to eliminate hidden dangers, but also for his own good! Anyway, he is a half-goblin, and living is also a pain! As a result, after living up to now, I have become such a disgusting thing! I was unlucky today, how could I meet such an unlucky thing! I am really XXXX..."

The language accomplishment inherited from the father is undoubtedly reflected at this moment.

No matter how badly I swear, I will never utter a single swear word or a single swear word.

I talked for a long time, very long, so long that Saber couldn't help but try to interrupt me.

"But... Matou, he still worked hard to live until now... I think he has the right to live."

$[[]#

"Who knows the form of his efforts?" I said disdainfully, "Saber, of course I know that most elves are harmless and friendly. But those are the elves of Paradise, not the elves of this world! The times are different, After the mysterious decline, this kind of thing is as disgusting as it is. Even the spring elf Nymph is as ugly as a hag in this era. Once the appearance becomes ugly, the heart of the goblin will become even more terrifying. In order to live Go down, just for fun, they can do any disgusting and horrible things—Saber, you won’t believe his nonsense, will you? If those homeless people are still alive, the police won’t find them?”

Saber froze for a moment, but finally pursed her lips, acquiescing to my words.

I saw that there was still something she didn't understand, so I continued to explain my understanding of order.

"He is not a cherished animal that stays in the reserve honestly, nor is he a normal human being who abides by laws and regulations. Why does he have the right to live? Who gave him this right? If he can live, then what What does the law do, what does morality do? No matter how precious an animal is, as long as it kills a human being, it must be disposed of! As long as it is a human being living in society, he should be punished for doing evil things! Saber, I can assure you, This kind of guy has killed at least a hundred innocent people in order to survive, and will only kill more in the future!"

"Is this also what Shinto's father educated?" Saber asked hesitantly.

"Do you need to teach? Isn't this a very easy-to-understand truth?" Then, I made a vicious declaration: "In short, the next time we meet, I must kill him! I will kill the harm for the people at that time!"

"But..." Saber suddenly hesitated to speak.

"Just what Matori said, of course there is no problem." Saber's expression suddenly became very unbearable, as if she knew in advance that a tragedy was about to happen. "But... Matori, what about that witch? If for that witch to live, many people must die and many evil things must be done?"

At this moment, my eyes widened and my mind went blank, as if I had been affected by the aftershock of a shell.

I've lost the ability to think, and just the thought of this possibility makes every nerve in my body scream.

But... have you made up your mind a long time ago?You clearly know that your father will give everything for you, right?

Why... I have this reaction?Why... Saber would react like this?

I don't understand...I don't understand...my brain refuses to think.

However, Saber's words did not stop, but continued relentlessly.

"When that dark magic power bursts out, it means that the real bird's father has made a decision... True bird, I don't want to urge you, or want to change your position, I just want to inform you in advance— —When you face her in the future, you have to make a choice. And this choice...is probably more difficult and painful than your father. "

She patted my shoulder lightly...

Really like the father...

Really like it used to be...

So familiar, yet extremely strange...

"However, don't worry. Makoto, no matter what your decision is, I will support you. Not only as a servant of the Holy Grail War, but also as your 'friend'... Let's do it, victory will definitely belong to us— ——Just like you, I will definitely do what I have agreed upon.”

(The body has recovered a lot, and I can code smoothly.)

Chapter 52: Like Heaven ([-] words)

(This chapter is first-person perspective by Jeanne Darc.)

A classic movie is playing on the TV, the name is "The Love of the Country", which tells the love story of the British royal family today.

If [$!

The body is lying on the sofa, the eyes are tightly closed, and the thoughts in the mind are chaotic.

Time passed slowly, and my soul was placed in a cauldron of waiting and anxiety.

Soon, I felt like I was reaching my limit.Not the physical limit, but the spiritual limit.

There is a strong sense of regret in my heart, I want to summon a flying dragon now, drive it to Arthur, to see how she is, to see if she is hurt, and hug her tightly Her waist, away from the Holy Grail War together, cherish the last time, use the camera she chose for me to record the memory of the dream, condensed into a never-fading entity.

But reason told me that this is impossible.Once involved in the Holy Grail War, unless I die or Arthur dies, there is no option to quit at all.

Closing my eyes, adjusting my breathing, I tried to put myself into a state of sleep - as long as I fall asleep, time will pass quickly.I'd be woken up by my loved ones like Sleeping Beauty, jump through all the agonizing moments, and come to the end in no time.

However, anxiety and depression make my heart unable to calm down, and my body cannot sleep.

So I just lay on the sofa like this, I just waited quietly like this.

"Jeanne, I'm back."

A familiar voice sounded in the room, much earlier than I expected.

At the same time, there was the sound of violent rain outside and the sound of closing the French windows.

I couldn't wait to open my eyes and looked at the source of the sound impatiently.

Arthur is there.She was still wearing the exquisite suit I bought for her, it was spotless, without any trace of being wet by rain, and she was really cherished as a treasure.

The sound of leather shoes and the floor was very clear, she walked slowly to my side and sat down.

This time, she didn't close her eyes tightly, nor did she drink water as if pouring it in, she just looked at me, just smiled faintly, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Did you just wake up? Why do you feel in a daze? "

Only then did I finally sit up straight as if I had woken up.

"Ah... well, I did take a nap. How fast did you come back? I thought it would take a long time."

The hotel suites also have wall clocks.The above pointer told me that Arthur only spent a total of 30 minutes on this trip.

As usual, Arthur habitually put his arm around my waist and let me lean on her.Sensing her temperature, the haze in my heart is like a thick fog illuminated by the sun, which quickly thins, evaporates, and dissipates, as if it never existed.

"Is the battle going well?"

"The real battle took less than 2 minutes. Gilgamesh was just trying to survive, and before he had time to resist, he was dealt with by me. The process was quite easy, and he was not injured at all."

"Gilgamesh...is that the servant with the short mouth who was driving the golden spaceship this evening?"

"That's right, it's him." As he spoke, Arthur laughed more easily, as if he was telling a joke, trying to make me laugh: "Sure enough, he was too careless, thinking that I would not do my best. As a result, when he responded It was too late when I came here. He was beheaded by Sir Lancelot during the Holy Grail War last time, and this time it was the same result. Moreover, I also fulfilled the previous agreement with him and fed his head to I gave it to the Black Flame King as an extra meal—it’s meaningless, but it’s quite insulting. If the guy on the Throne of Heroes knew the whole process, he would probably be trembling with anger and wouldn’t be able to sleep well for months, right?”

I was indeed amused by Arthur, and my heart, which was as heavy as a block of lead, suddenly became as light as a feather.

Then, maybe it's because my smile is really pretty?Arthur kissed my forehead lightly.Tasting the moist feeling on my forehead, my anxious heart immediately calmed down, as if I could fall asleep at any time.

"So, Jeanna, your worries are unnecessary. As I said before, in this Holy Grail War, my strength is at the level of crushing. It's like a lion breaking into the killing competition of the hounds. Personality It is completely different from the essence, victory is a matter of course-and, the level of my thoughtfulness, Jeanna also knows? Even if I make seemingly unplanned actions in the future, there will be internal logic and planning in it , not really reckless. In war, this sort of thing is common."

I couldn't understand Arthur's words at all, because I had absolutely no knowledge of leading troops in war.

However, one thing I can really confirm now - my Arthur is invincible.Not only invincible in combat power, but also invincible in wisdom.She will never stop bringing me wins and everything I need.

Although I'm not very useful, as long as she needs me, as long as she feels relaxed and happy when I'm around her, then all the waiting and suffering are worth it—this is comparable to Morgan and Merlin's endless watch and struggle. It's much better to wait.

Based on this feeling of peace of mind, I leaned on her shoulder and asked her softly.

"Then... do you still need to go out tonight?"

"No more. There's no point in going out anymore." As he said, Arthur looked at the wall clock, and then asked, "Speaking of which, it's almost nine o'clock now, has Jeanna eaten?"

"Ah... well, I forgot... How about calling now and ordering takeout?" I asked.

"It's not necessary. It's raining so hard, fast food restaurants must not be able to deliver food." As he said, Arthur let go of my waist and stood up, "Then eat some food made by the hotel kitchen? It's a bit It's getting late, and maybe I'll just have to eat leftovers."

Should it be said that it is the top suite of a large hotel?Arthur only used a phone call, and soon a hotel employee pushed a cart, brought the food, put it on the dining table, bowed and left, all in a very polite manner.

I still remember that when I came to the hotel to check in, Arthur and I wore cheap clothes, and the staff just treated the guests with a friendly smile.Now, I changed into a black dress, Arthur changed into an exquisite suit, and lived in the most expensive suite. The attitude of the staff is to treat distinguished guests with a dignified expression.

This is a very interesting point - it seems that this era is not as equal as Arthur said in the chat.

Arthur said she ate the leftovers, which was just her judgment based on her own experience, and it was completely inaccurate.Just judging from the fish in sushi, it must be freshly cooked salmon.Fried foods such as tempura and Tangyang chicken nuggets, as well as seafood such as clam soup and squid rice, can basically be confirmed to be fresh as long as they are tasted.

But what surprised me was that Arthur didn't think anything of it.

After the meal was completely finished, I drank the miso soup at the end, and after the hotel staff took away the dishes and chopsticks, a question from her made my heart clouded again.

"How is it? Are you full?"

Yes, I heard you right, she asked "full" instead of "delicious".

Which is weird because I've never been a big eater.As long as I have had enough, I will not eat again.

Of course Arthur knew this.Before, she only asked me if the food was good.

I decided to test Arthur a little bit, and started answering irrelevant questions.
