I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"How dare you say it, you are an albino dwarf who can only be malicious and cute, and God knows how dark-hearted you are!" Relying on his height advantage, Tohsaka Rin, who was said to be in pain, directly held down Illya's little head.

"Ilya is just a little late in development, she's not a dwarf! A down-and-out girl whose mind is as empty as her wallet, quickly take back that sentence for Ilya!" Ilya resisted desperately, but she couldn't reach her with small arms and legs. Her goal, so the somewhat impatient girl opened her mouth wide.

"Who is a down and out girl with an empty wallet! And you only refuted the point of being short, which means that you acquiesced to your dark heart...It hurts! You damn brat, let me go!" A hand was killed Tohsaka Rin, who was biting hard, let out a cry of pain, and then grabbed Illya's nape as if in revenge...

......

After some squabbling, the two women finally calmed down and sat on both sides of the sofa, tasting black tea without saying a word.On the other hand, Saber gorged on the dessert served by Sera, feeling as natural as coming home.

Emiya Shirou, who was sitting between the two women, scratched his head in confusion. It was obviously his first visit to Illya's castle, and he didn't do anything disrespectful to his master like Tohsaka did.

But why did the maid lady who just came over look at him with disgust, and among the people present, he was the only one who was not served tea.

What Weigong didn't know was that there were three people present who could answer his doubts.

But Illya is angry with Tohsaka Rin, and she is not in the mood to say something about ten years ago, and Seleus is not easy to speak because he offended Serra before.

As for Saber, she would have received the same treatment as Emiya Shirou, but apart from not fulfilling her promise with Illya, she, who has a clear conscience towards Einzbern, made her feel resentful with her calm eyes The lady maid understood something, and then she gave the knight her favorite snack in the information with a complicated expression.

"Speak." Tohsaka Rin took a sip of black tea, and then stared at Ilya opposite with a flat gaze. "Can you tell us your purpose now, Eliasfiel?"

The simmering temperament coupled with the noble demeanor made Miss Tohsaka at this time have the elegance of a lady.Of course, this was ignoring the unusually obvious teeth marks on her hands.

"People are just looking for Shirou to play, there will be some strange purpose there." Illya, who was obviously vomiting, gave Tohsaka Rin a white look, but after noticing that even if she sat down, the other party was a head taller than herself, the girl said He puffed up his face very dissatisfied.

"No strange purpose~~~?" Tohsaka Rin made a long voice with a teasing face, and at the same time deliberately straightened his waist to make his figure appear taller. "During the Holy Grail War, I invited the master of Saber to my base camp, and said that I have no strange purpose..."

"Who do you think would believe such an obvious lie? Eliasviel."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Alas!" Just when Ilya was at her wit's end, she suddenly felt a big hand gently holding her body, and then carefully placed it on a warm but resilient object.

The girl turned her head with some doubts, but she was looking at Serius with a caring smile.

Originally, Seleus was unwilling to intervene in the fight between the two girls, but when it came to the issue of Illya's height, he couldn't sit still.

Although Ilya is no different from a child in terms of body shape, appearance, or daily performance, she is actually a young girl...

It takes 60 years for the Great Holy Grail to accumulate enough magic power to maintain the manifestation of the servants, that is to say, there is a 60-year interval between Holy Grail Wars under normal circumstances.

Therefore, after hearing that Emiya Kiritsugu betrayed Einzbern, and this Holy Grail War ended in failure, Ahad began to prepare for the next Holy Grail War.

But because of the failure experience of more than 200 years, Ahad's confidence gradually faded, but he was reluctant to give up and put all his hopes on Ilia, the most outstanding achievement of Einzbern.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Illya can still maintain a young body after 60 years, Einzbern used all the techniques to slow down the growth rate of Illya's body.

But who would have thought that after only ten years, the Great Holy Grail would once again be filled with enough magic power...

In order to prevent Illya from remembering the painful experience again because of her height problem, Seleus directly reached out and put his little master on his lap, so that Illya could look down at Rin Tohsaka on the opposite side.

At the same time, that hand rested on Illya's little head, stroking very gently.

Feeling Serius' concern, Illya first arched her little head like a cat, and then glanced at Rin Tohsaka provocatively.

"Berserker defeated the three servants including Saber with a crushing posture, and even such a Berserker has not released his own powerful Noble Phantasm."

With a smug smile, Ilya taunted with a bit of elation.

"In the final analysis, there can only be one winner of the Holy Grail War. Even if the allies formed from the beginning, they will meet each other sooner or later. And I have established a contract with the strongest Berserker, why should I do such meaningless things?" What's up?"

"Do you think I can explain it this way? Ms. Rin Tohsaka, who was rejected by her Servant."

"Uuuuuuuuuu-I can't take it anymore!" Tohsaka, who was still unable to refute after being poked at the sore spot, and was so angry by Illya's expression that he lost his mind, stood up fiercely and glared at Illya. "You've been targeting me from the beginning, what on earth are you trying to do! Eliasfiel."

"Hmph! Making loud noises and disrespectful behavior in other people's homes, the barbaric behavior is not as elegant as the Tohsaka family. Am I really too naive when I wanted to communicate with you before?"

Without waiting for Illya to signal, Serius raised her up very considerately so that she could look down at Rin Tohsaka who stood up condescendingly.

"..."

Seeing the current situation, Shirou Emiya and the others turned their heads in embarrassment, even Saber stopped eating, and stood there with her mouth open.

The two people who were clearly confronting each other exuded a dangerous atmosphere, and compared to Tohsaka Rin who lost his mind, Illya's expression could even see a trace of majesty.

but...

Ilya, who was standing on Serius' big hand with her arms folded, gave off an inexplicably funny feeling.

"No, you have to hold back, don't laugh, or you will definitely be killed..." Emiya Shirou tried his best to tighten his face, but his shoulders shrugged unconsciously.

"This nasty brat is really infuriating!"

As if giving up on himself, Tohsaka Rin, who had removed all the disguise, made a sound of almost crying with anger, and stomped the ground fiercely with his little feet.

"It seems that Rin wants to have a magic battle with real swords and guns?" On the other hand, Illya, who had the upper hand, signaled Serius to put herself down, and walked to Tohsaka Rin with a provocative smile. in front of.

"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you? Brat." Said it was a magic battle, but Tohsaka Rin rolled up his sleeves like a conditioned reflex, and the magic power all over his body began to strengthen his own Body.

"It's really scary, I want to use violence to solve everything! Is Rin really the head of the Tohsaka family who wrote elegance into the family motto?" Illya also seemed to be responding, making her magic power surge up.

"It's obvious that you started the trouble first! From the moment I stepped into the range of the enchantment, those magic traps have been targeting me!"

The two girls started arguing like this, and the people on the other side sighed in unison.

"Berserker, don't you try to stop them?" Emiya Shirou looked at Serius, who was on the side, with a slightly helpless tone.

"You have to understand, Emiya boy." Serius shook his head lightly. "When two women you don't know are arguing in front of you, just ignore it."

"When two women you know are arguing in front of you, remember that silence is golden."

"But the problem is..." Emiya Shirou sighed. "Although I don't know why Tohsaka followed, I actually came here today to ask for help."

"This is quite strange, so can you tell me, what kind of problem did you encounter that made you ask me, the enemy, for help?"

Seleus glanced at the two girls who were still taunting each other. Although they were full of vicious words, they seemed to be biting... Ahem, anyway, it was only after judging that they could not fight for the time being that they showed emotion. Looking at Emiya Shirou beside him with an interested expression.

"Before that, let me ask, Berserker, do you have any wish that must be fulfilled with the Great Holy Grail?" Emiya Shirou pondered, and asked a question with his eyes flickering slightly.

"A wish entrusted to the Great Holy Grail?" Seleus realized something, and his expression instantly became serious. "Why do you ask such a question that has nothing to do with you?"

"How should I say it?" Emiya Shiro scratched his head, he didn't know how to tell Berserker about the Great Holy Grail. "Actually, after the Third Holy Grail War, the Great Holy Grail..."

"...is it polluted and filled with all the malice in the world?"

Chapter 44 The so-called negotiation

"Does Berserker know about this?" Emiya Shirou opened his mouth in disbelief. "But... how did you know that?"

Because of his own ideals, Emiya Shirou, who is very concerned about these things that may cause a lot of harm, once privately asked Matou Zouken about the pollution of the Great Holy Grail and the black shadow born from the depths of Sakura's soul.

According to him, only Matou, who provided the command spell system, and Einzbern, who built the Great Grail as a whole, have the ability to directly intervene in the Holy Grail War.

But in the third Holy Grail War, because of his soul problem, he didn't use the backhand he left at the beginning.

In other words, the servant who polluted the Great Holy Grail must have been summoned illegally by Einzbern in order to win.

But for some unknown reason, the servant whom Einzbern placed high hopes on did not help them win the victory, but instead caused unimaginable damage to the Great Holy Grail system after being eliminated.

As for whether Einzbern knew about the pollution of the Great Holy Grail, Matou Zouken tended to be ignorant of them.

After all, compared to when his soul was lost at that time, as long as he could obtain eternal life, no matter how evil the means were, he would choose to try without hesitation.

The meaning of existence is to save all human beings from Einzbern. People will only be more obsessed with realizing their long-cherished wishes than him.

Therefore, if artificial people know that the polluted holy grail will bring unbearable harm to the human species, it is impossible to let this extremely dangerous thing stay under their noses without dealing with it.

But the reality is that in the 70 years since the Great Holy Grail was polluted, Einzbern has never taken any actions aimed at destroying or purifying the Great Holy Grail.

Moreover, Emiya Kiritsugu, who prevented the twisted thing in the Holy Grail from descending into the world, and could be called the savior to a certain extent, was also regarded as a traitor by Einzbern, and he was not even given a chance to explain.

Based on the above, Matou Zouken guessed that Einzbern knew nothing about the contamination of the Great Grail.

Although Illya's various behaviors in this Holy Grail War are somewhat intriguing, her eagerness to win also confirmed this guess from the side.

That's why Shirou Emiya was so shocked when Berserker broke the news ahead of time—even Ilya, the master of Einzbern, didn't know about it, Serius Where did you find out?

"My real name, Illya, has already been introduced to you. If you want to find out my general experience and abilities, it only takes a little effort." Seleus looked away, feeling a little guilty, and he dared not talk to this The good old man looked at each other. "My ontology has the ability to analyze the world and use it to deduce the future."

"Although this ability has not been inherited by this spirit foundation bearing the name of Berserker, I still have some information from the main body."

"That means Berserker knows everything that happened to Fuyuki?" Emiya Shirou suddenly had a look of astonishment on his face.

How should I say it?Emiya Shirou always had a feeling of admiration when facing Serius.

The sword energy generated by Saber can easily split the street lamp in two, and Archer's arrows can easily crush a formation of fighter jets in terms of firepower.

But even such two powerful heroes are as powerless as a child in front of the unparalleled strength of Berserker.

The power of Serius greatly shocked Emiya Shirou. This kind of shock drove a young man who had no interest in mythology to buy a copy of "Eustraphie" for the first time, wanting to know more about this man named Seleus. The life of the hero of Leos.

"Bearing the erosion and curse of the river Styx, but still unswervingly embark on the journey of becoming a hero..."

"Possessing an invulnerable immortal body, he learned superb martial arts from the sage Chiron, but he never relied on his own strength to do whatever he wanted, instead he used it to pursue a beautiful path..."

"I can't bear the weak to be bullied, I can't bear the good to endure evil, and I won't turn a blind eye to the suffering in front of me. This is a great hero who wants to eliminate all the misfortunes in the world..."

'It's just... like an ideal partner of justice. '

The experience of Seleus perfectly satisfies all the imaginations of Emiya Shirou about "a partner of justice", and also makes this kind-hearted young man firmly believe that the hero named Seleus is the same type of existence as him.

In other words, in the psychology of a teenager, Seleus is much nobler than himself.

Serius will feel genuine joy at the happy smile of others, which is a true feeling from the heart.

But he couldn't do that.

Emiya Shirou's justice, even the idea of ​​helping others is not from the heart, he is bound by something to perform good deeds.

Smiles are false; wishes are borrowed.

And the behavior of helping others all the time is based on the idea of ​​'only I am saved, it is too unfair to others'.

The thought of caring more about others than oneself is also a general psychological suggestion of self-punishment imposed on oneself based on the fact that one once chose self-preservation in a disaster and refused to save others.

Therefore, after Emiya Shirou got to know Serius, he had longing and admiration for this great hero.He aspires to be a person like Seleus, and looks forward to one day being able to help others from the bottom of his heart like Seleus.

However, the simple sentence of Serius just now completely shattered all the yearning of the young Emiya.

"Berserker knew about all the disasters that happened here from the very beginning, but never thought of stopping and changing them?!" Emiya Shirou said in a tone that was almost questioning.

"Ah~~~" Serius felt a little baffled, he didn't know why his rare lie would cause such a big change in the attitude of this good old man.

As a Berserker, how could he know what kind of situation he was going to face after his arrival, and the fact that the Great Holy Grail was polluted was completely a friendly reminder from Jill before he died.

It's just that the Archer of the previous generation gained a physical body after touching the twisted thing of the Great Holy Grail and lived in Fuyuki City for ten years.

Moreover, Jill was in a very weird state at the time, and her thoughts were also very extreme.

If these little guys knew that there used to be a terrible existence with strong malice against modern people who had been plotting to "test" the world, they would definitely not be able to sleep well at night.

With this in mind, Seleus chose to tell a harmless lie and let his own body take the blame for Jill.

"You can't say that." Serius touched his nose, and he was a little worried about what Emiya Shirou could see, and he said ambiguous words. "But I still know a thing or two about the crisis brought about by the contaminated Great Holy Grail."

"You obviously possess great power, and you are clearly aware of these tragedies that are happening before your eyes, but why don't you go to stop them like you did before your death?!"

anger!Unprecedented anger filled Emiya Shirou's heart, almost consuming all his sanity.

Seleus's words mean that he knows that some disasters are slowly happening, that he knows that some tragedies are constantly happening, but he still ignores all of them for some reason.

Obviously he has the ability to stop it, but he didn't take any action at all.

Shirou Emiya, whose dream was ruthlessly shattered at the very beginning, lost all his usual composure. He rushed to Serius and yelled loudly.

"Uh~!" Scared by Emiya Shirou's voice, Saber's complexion turned livid as she accidentally choked on the snack, she slapped her chest vigorously, and kept looking for drinks on the table with her other hand.

The two girls who were arguing turned their heads to this side at the same time, and the same astonishment appeared in the two pairs of beautiful eyes.

No one would have thought that Emiya Shirou, who usually looks like a good old man, would behave so aggressively.

For a moment, all the people present were dumbfounded and unable to make a sound.

"Shiro, what happened?"

Saber, who finally found a drink and washed the food down, asked in a serious tone, but the food residue left at the corner of her mouth completely destroyed her majesty, giving people the feeling of a cub baring its teeth, full of blood. The cuteness that wants to be hugged and rubbed.

As if sensing something from Illya's eyes that suddenly lit up, Saber directly stretched out her finger to wipe off the residue from the corner of her mouth, and then put it into her mouth naturally.

And after doing all this, she regained her due majesty as if nothing had happened.

"Berserker, what was Shirou talking to you just now? Why are you so angry?"

Seeing that Saber lost her cuteness just now, Illya curled her lips a little dissatisfied, and then set her eyes on Serius.

No matter how fair a person is, when he tells something about himself, his wording will always involuntarily show his favorable side, which is human nature.
