Artoria the Big Liar

"Tsk..."

Rin Tohsaka really smells of poverty from head to toe.

I really can't understand how such a woman became a magician and the heir of the Tohsaka family.

I looked at Yoshikawa—this guy was lying on the shoulder of the skeleton swordsman with peace of mind, and he was not afraid that the flames burning from the skeleton on his shoulder armor would burn him to ashes. A Holy Grail War is over.

"Real bird, let me do it." Said, Saber disarmed, and returned to the appearance of wearing a blue dress, like a blue butterfly, flashing blue fluorescence in the night.Compared with the legendary King of Knights, he is more like a beautiful elf in the paradise.

"Saber, can you drive?" I asked in disbelief.

"No. But the Holy Grail gave me the ability to 'drive', and I can treat the car as a mount." Saber calmly explained. "I've had similar experiences before. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong.

I nodded to express my understanding, and then looked at Rin Tohsaka: "So, Tohsaka, since you came here on foot, why not go back on foot? Yoshikawa's bones have been broken, so driving must not be good. When the time comes, the front of the car will be smashed, not to mention, you will still have to pay Yoshikawa a large sum of money—I don’t expect much from the magician’s sympathy, but isn’t it too much to be so cold-blooded and shameless?”

"... Forget it, let's just walk. It's not hot anymore anyway."

Saying so, Tohsaka Rin left here without looking back, and walked on the street going back.

This woman is really poor.Compared with the dignity of a magician and the convenience of life, she cares more about actual money.

Lancer gave me a cold look, followed Rin Tohsaka without saying anything.

Along the way, the skeleton swordsman bowed his head and bowed his body without saying a word.For him who is [-] meters [-] tall and has a bunch of long horns on his helmet, the space in this car is really too small. Saber concentrates on controlling the steering wheel, keeping the vehicle as high as possible within the allowable range.Yoshikawa bared his teeth, enduring the pain of broken bones, not to mention talking, even breathing became difficult.and I?In the co-pilot, he was thinking about his father's affairs, thinking about how to solve this almost unsolvable deadlock.

We were very silent the whole time, as if nothing had happened, and everything seemed to have settled down.

As the Sanjia of the Holy Grail and also the landlord of Fuyuki, the Tohsaka mansion is located very close to Mount Enzo.In less than 10 minutes, Saber stopped the car.She and I stood in the courtyard of the mansion, taking advantage of the night to watch the bright roses and orchids in the flower garden, feeling the cool breeze of autumn, and waiting for the arrival of Tohsaka Rin.

Because of a serious leg injury, Yoshikawa did not get out of the car.He opened the car window, as if he wanted to say something to me.

"...That, Matori-san."

"What's matter?"

"Saber...what's the matter with her?"

I glanced at Saber and motioned for her to explain herself.

What to say, what not to say, she must be much more measured than me.

Saber nodded to me, with a serious face, and introduced herself to Yoshikawa.

"I am Artoria Pendragon of panhuman history, the holder of the Holy Sword and Holy Lance, once the King of Britain. I came here in response to the Holy Grail, and I am a different existence from the father of Makoto— —Parallel worlds, you can think so simply.”

"But... the old man said... they are all living people?" Because of the pain, Yoshikawa even spoke intermittently.

"I signed a contract with the world. When I am needed by the world, my consciousness will be shaped by the world, and I will respond to the call with the spiritual base of a servant. At this time, my body is sleeping in paradise. When my mission is completed Or after failing, I will wake up in Paradise—from this point of view, I am indeed alive.”

"Is that so...then, King Arthur of pan-human history...should have also participated in the Holy Grail War?"

"I have indeed participated, and like the real bird's father, more than once."

"...May I ask, do you still have any impression?"

"I have a deep impression and a complete memory. For me, it was a very important experience. I will be in this state now, which is the result of the Holy Grail War-it's just the process I went through, with Matori's father Very different."

I raised my eyebrows, Saber's rhetoric is very artistic.

It sounds like everything is said, but in fact nothing is said, just like jujitsu.

"As expected, the Holy Grail was destroyed?"

"Yes. From 2004 to 2014, I stayed in this world until the Holy Grail was completely dismantled."

"That is to say..."

Yoshikawa wanted to continue asking, but a van came to the Tohsaka mansion and interrupted their conversation.

An old man got off the driver's seat.He is wearing a black traditional Japanese costume, with a thin body, a vicissitudes of life, and gray hair. He is obviously in his 50s at most according to his age, but he is as old as an old man in his 70s, and he is too strong like the one in the Holy Church. , The 80-year-old priest who can tear dead disciples with his hands is the complete opposite.

A girl in a white dress stepped off the co-pilot.He obviously looks like a primary school student, but he exudes a mature temperament all over his body.The long pale golden hair is scattered to the hips, and the red eyes are observing Saber and me—especially Saber, she seems to be reminiscing about the past, trying to overlap Saber with the figure of her father in the past.

Afterwards, Caster, who had been floating in the sky, also revealed his figure.He has two long black horns, and his whole body is covered in a red sacrificial robe. The hand holding the dead wood staff is covered with burns. He can't see the specific appearance. He can only vaguely judge that he is about three meters tall. Men are simply devils who are too standard.

Seeing the old man got out of the car, Yoshikawa immediately opened the car door, forced a smile, and said to the old man with difficulty: "Hey, the father of the Einzbern family. I'm sorry, I was injured just now, so I can't bow to you It's time to salute."

"It wasn't necessary in the first place." Emiya Kiritsugu responded with a smile, quite kindly. "Now I'm just an old man dying at home. I used to have a bad reputation. Normal magicians try to avoid me as much as possible. Even if they really come to visit, they basically don't treat me as a magician. "

"Magician killer, I know this. But at least respect is required. You are my senior."

In other words, Yoshikawa is a magician killer himself, but he was hired by the Magicians Association.

The girl walked up to Yoshikawa, said nothing, just held Yoshikawa's left hand with both hands, closed her eyes, and chanted a spell.Afterwards, Yoshikawa's whole body emitted a light blue flash, and even his brown eyes turned blue.

After just ten seconds, the flash disappeared and Yoshikawa returned to normal.He examined his body in disbelief, then stood up, moved his lower leg joints, and there was no expression of pain on his face.

"Mr. Yoshikawa, it's best not to exercise vigorously in the short term. The time for bone recombination is too short, and the connection is not very stable. If it is subjected to a large external force, it will return to the broken state. Please be careful." The girl said in a solemn tone Said.

"Well, I know." Yoshikawa nodded, not knowing exactly how much he listened to.

When everything was dealt with, the old man looked at me: "Emiya Kiritsugu——this is my name."

"Yes, I know the identities of all of you. Who are the current Patriarchs of the Holy Grail Royal Family? What happened 20 years ago, my father told me—as long as my father said it, I always remember it very well. clear."

"I'm sorry, I exhausted all my thinking at that time, but I still couldn't find a way to stop her from sacrificing herself——As a result, I could only issue commands to her with command spells to make her what she is now,"

I froze for a moment, and re-observed Emiya Kiritsugu, the old man.

His expression was very serious, his cloudy eyes were full of sadness, it didn't look like a fake at all.

If he said this to others, the other party would definitely be in a cloud of fog, not knowing what it meant.

--but I know.

Like Rin Tosaka, he got the major premise wrong, thinking that the status quo of his father was caused by the Holy Grail.Moreover, they didn't seem to notice at all that my hair color and eye color are exactly the same as my father's, completely different from Saber's blond hair and green eyes.

However, I don't need to explain, and I don't want to explain anything.

As for the evil god, it is better for the father to explain it himself.

"I really want to apologize, I'd better tell my father...if she is willing to accept the apology now." I casually said something perfunctory.

This made me more and more disgusted-another apology, a useless apology.

The value of an apology is not even as bad (physically) as black bread that cracks teeth, so what is the use?

When I was four years old, my father told me that a verbal apology is meaningless.Verbal expression is only a small part of what a person is thinking in his heart, and more depends on actual actions.The same goes for expressing an apology, an apology without compensation and gifts is disqualified, and a verbal apology is just trying to get rid of the problem instead of really trying to solve it.

"That's why I came here to find a way to change my father's situation and find a solution to the problem. Rather than complaining about myself like you, and living in regret for the rest of my life-is regret useful? It is useless at all?"

"...I'm afraid it's hard. She's already on the opposite side of us all."

"Huh! The result is almost the same as farting a few times, it's the same disgusting!"

I glared fiercely at Emiya Kiritsugu, ignoring his bitter eyes, I turned my back to him, closed my eyes, and stopped talking.

It seems that everyone thinks that the father has gone on the wrong path, and that everyone thinks that killing is the way to save—I don’t know what the father thinks, although there are a lot of opportunities to explain, but he refuses to do anything Say, just reject the kindness of others like this, and even distort the kindness into hostility by self-serving.

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't speak, just sighed and entered a waiting state.

After a short wait, a purple-haired woman walked into the courtyard and greeted everyone other than me and Saber.She is wearing rather plain clothes, her temperament is quite restrained, her voice is very low, she makes me feel like a housewife - no, she wears a ring on her right ring finger, I'm afraid she really is a housewife.

Emiya Kiritsugu introduced her to me.She is Matou Sakura who succeeded the Matou family as the head of the Matou family, and is the master of Archer in this Holy Grail War.Because the servant was too arrogant, he was easily killed by his father, just like Yan Liangwenchou whose head was chopped off by Guan Yu.Although there is some strength, but conceited and careless, it is really not enough.

However, I noticed a special piece of information - Sakura Matou called Emiya Kiritsugu "father".

It seems that when the Holy Grail War ended, Emiya Kiritsugu also undertook the task of raising the children according to his father's entrustment.

A magician killer who wanders between danger and death has become what he is now... Isn't it outrageous?After all, with the precedent of my father, I am already immune to this kind of thing, and I wonder if even the most bizarre thing can make me wonder.

After waiting for another 5 minutes, Rin Tohsaka gasped, feeling so tired that he was about to lie down, and finally walked into the courtyard.

She didn't say anything nonsense, opened the door, and let us all sit in the hall and take a little rest first.

This time, it is no longer the master who occupies the main position, but three heroic spirits.They each said something that I couldn't understand at all, and they started talking on their own.Emiya Kiritsugu and Rin Tohsaka could occasionally interject a few words, but they were still leading them by the nose.Those who knew were exchanging information related to their father, but those who didn't know thought they were going to deal with some huge disaster!

They talked for a total of 10 to [-] minutes, and finally came to a preliminary conclusion.

The person who articulated this conclusion was Caster—this guy's real name was Faust.According to his self-introduction, he is a magician who has reached the root and returned to the present world.It's just something he encountered when he reached the root. He didn't turn his own inherent enchantment into magic, but maintained the current state and continued to live.

After that, he created an artificial human【]&

In fact, when in the real world, he is the magician Faust, and when in the inherent barrier, he is the great devil Mephistopheles.According to what he said, as long as he is in his own inherent barrier, he has the power close to that of a god.

"...Then, the conclusion is already clear. Due to the interference and infiltration of the God of Disaster in another universe, Humanity is forced to separate a timeline, so that this interference and penetration will not spread to Humanity itself .Therefore, Miss Mordred, your father was chosen by man, destined to become the master of all mankind, and lead this race to resist the infestation of God of Disaster."

"This kind of thing has happened. The Greek gods came from other universes, drifted in this universe, were accepted by this planet about 2 years ago, and existed on the earth as mechanical bodies for the next 6000 years. , walk with humans."

"—But now, she was corrupted by the God of Misfortune before she could achieve her mission. She was just a separated fragment and imperfect creation, which made her willing to give up everything about herself and sink into false illusions— — I don't think it's normal, and something abnormal has to be corrected. Fortunately, there is Miss Mordred, and you are the only one who can prevent these things from happening. You are the most important thing in this chess game 'Queen'."

I'm lethargic, and I've been ignoring this unhealthy bullshit since those three guys started talking.

Like me, Saber didn't say a word the whole time, she seemed to be digesting the information, but in fact she wasn't interested at all.

When everyone was staring at me, I finally yawned out of boredom.

"Huh... finally finished? I almost fell asleep."

"Miss Matori, what exactly are you thinking?"

Faust didn't care about my attitude, so he asked directly.

what can I say?What can i say!

The corners of my mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, and I sat on a chair with my legs on it, defying Faust.

"My idea...it's not really an idea, it's just a question."

"Any doubts should be voiced to avoid misunderstandings in the future."

"... You said such a lot of nonsense, it's none of my business?"

Chapter 58: Say No to Moral Kidnapping ([-] words)

"... You said such a lot of nonsense, it's none of my business?"

That's right, it's complete fart, and it doesn't make any sense to me.

Caster stood up, the three-meter tall man looked down at me, wanting to give me a huge [&_

"Miss Matori, what do you mean?"

"I said, you've said a lot. Human beings and civilizations. What does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with my father?" The corners of my mouth curled up, and my voice and attitude were extremely ironic. : "Because I was chosen by human reason, I have to become the master of mankind? Because the God of Misfortune is called an evil god and an evil god, so Rina must die? You guys like to look so superior , judge others' life and death by your own likes and dislikes, and tell others what they must do?"

"Miss Mordred, we are discussing serious topics." Caster reiterated.

"Serious? Heh... really serious enough." I was about to be amused, "Why don't you be that bullshit 'King of Eternity'? Are all human beings extinct? Are human beings useless to this extent? He keeps saying that he is for the sake of human beings, but why did he exclude his father from the scope of human beings at a critical moment? Is it in your eyes that a so-called 'hero' must be dedicated and re-contributed continuously, and after death, the corpse must be The firewood will be burned, and the ashes will be used as fertilizer and sprinkled on the ground after the burning—only in this way can you be satisfied, only in this way can you meet your wishes?"

My eyes scanned everyone around me.They were silent, they could find no reason to refute.

These disgusting things, as disgusting as the Britons, make me want to throw up.Take the standard of a hero to ask the father and king, and take the sacrifice of a hero for granted.Then I sat here, neither thinking of giving nor helping the hero, just dismissing the hero with a few words, and then enjoying the benefits brought back by the hero-at least I have to pay taxes honestly, right?Why do you have a face that takes concealment of the population for granted and "reasonable tax avoidance" as a matter of course?

In the final analysis, he is still lazy, wants to be a moth, and treats heroes as pure tools.

Thinking of this, my tone gradually became harsh——

"Faust, since you think the father is the lord of mankind, how about kneeling to her next time you meet her? Since you want her to protect mankind, kneel on the ground like a dog and kneel at the place she designates How about going to seven days and seven nights without eating or drinking water? This country has a method of suggesting to the Lord, which seems to be called "dead remonstrance", right? Write a letter first, and commit seppuku while sending the letter. How about dying like Masahide Hirate? You, a magician, must at least have this level of awareness and sincerity? Or, while you regard your father as the master of mankind, you exclude yourself from the scope of mankind What's wrong with you? If you have been disloyal to this extent, and you have overstepped to this extent, what reason does the king not execute you?"

Feeling a little tired, I stretched my waist, with a smile on my face, and I was so happy.

Caster didn't say a word, exuding low pressure, looking angry and incompetent, he couldn't even look at me.

My father never told me how to solve the moral kidnapping, but judging by this guy's reaction, my strategy is feasible.

I am the heir of the evil dragon, so I should use the method of the evil dragon - evil will never be kidnapped, only kindness will.

Selfish people see what heroes do, but evil sees selfish people's everything from dignity to flesh.

My smile became wider, more vicious, and more evil, and I looked at the three heroic spirits like a clown-but I don't want to talk nonsense anymore.I stood up, and Saber also stood up, and we were about to leave—as she promised, no matter what choice I made, she would stand firmly by my side.

Even, taking advantage of this gap, this King Arthur of pan-human history, the noble and glorious King of Knights, started to scold these cold-blooded magicians just like me——

"Illya, Rin, Sakura, I am very disappointed in you. Heroes saved your lives, and you have lived smoothly until now. Not only did you not think about gratitude, but you obeyed the words of these irrelevant people. However, when heroes need help At that time, you found many reasons for yourself, and you didn’t even have the courage to stand on the same front as the hero. They were full of irrelevant excuses and reasons—I’m afraid you haven’t thought about it? Your behavior, and those who put Angola Mainu What's the difference between a villager bound in a cave and then self-hypnotized 'all the evil in the world has been dealt with'? I'm afraid it's too much? After all, Matori's father is really self-sacrificing, not being forced by you You have to sacrifice yourself."

After listening to Saber's words, I don't know why, and my heart suddenly took a breath.

I snorted coldly and took a step forward, not wanting to stay in this place any longer.

However, Lancer jumped over and blocked the door with his scarlet spear horizontally, like a guard.
