How can I let go of the matter of saving my stepsister?

It was simply unbearable. She watched TV, and her gaze turned to the fried tempura in her hand, the prawns coated in flour and fried. Her stomach churned, and she didn't care about the oil between her fingers at all. She threw the tempura away, and Kumiko Aoki immediately covered her mouth and stomach, got up and rushed to the toilet!

Volume 151: Chapter Chapter . Sato Yu, you have no heart!

Eating fried shrimp, seeing worms wriggling, and seeing a poor little girl abandoned in...

Unable to bear it at all, Kumiko Aoki ran to the bathroom and kept dry-heaving. The sound was clearly heard by Oya Hideki in the living room.

I also found the once fragrant tempura hard to swallow. When my girlfriend came back, there was no trace of tempura on the table.

Out of sight, out of mind. This way, my girlfriend Kumiko Aoki should feel better.

But, what do you think of "Fate/Zero" which is still being broadcast on TV?

Although the part about the bugs has passed and the story has come to the more interesting stupid Weber line, the sin of releasing such disgusting pictures before cannot be reduced.

"Where is this? Is this the new Master?"

After watching the animation up to this point, Kumiko Aoki can probably understand that "Fate/Zero" is an ensemble drama. The struggle of the seven riders naturally requires the portrayal of the seven riders and their masters.

This first episode jumps between Masters in different time and space, telling their motivations and early processes in their pursuit of the Holy Grail.

Although she, a trypophobic, felt disgusted by insects and even more uncomfortable seeing the girl being ravaged, the fact that the animation did not cut after she came back represented a lot of things.

Her boyfriend Oya Hideki really likes Sato Yu and this serious and dark story. Not wanting to spoil his fun, she pretends to smile. Aoki Kumiko sits back on the sofa and snuggles with him to ease the awkwardness. She asks about the progress of the story.

"The Clock Tower is set in England and is the headquarters of magicians. The person who appears now is Webber, a student of the magician lecturer Kenneth. Unsatisfied with the ridicule of his thesis, he stole his teacher's holy relic and prepared to participate in the Holy Grail War."

"Despicable person."

"No, it's because his teacher ridiculed him so harshly that he..."

Feeling relieved that his girlfriend was still willing to continue watching, Oya Hideki wanted to make a few remarks in defense of his girlfriend's remarks criticizing Weber, but as soon as he said this, his mind changed again.

In the magic world where the theory of bloodline holds absolute dominance, what prestigious magician, whose bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation to reach his current level, could tolerate such a heretical paper?

If the paper is published, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism, and it is even said that Weber will be expelled as a thorn in the eye. Given the darkness of this work, he may even be expelled as a heretic and killed...

Thinking about it this way, maybe Kenneth's action was actually protecting Weber?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Ooya Hideki felt that there were still many details to appreciate in this anime, but now, the animation could not be stopped or turned back, so he could only suppress the desire to explore more and continue watching.

"Wow!"

Watching this, Kumiko Aoki suddenly let out a scream. This was not a big deal. In fact, after watching the animation for more than 20 minutes and being very immersed in it, Ooya Hideki also frowned in surprise.

The Holy Grail War has not yet begun, but Assassin, the Heroic Spirit of the assassin class has already been summoned by Kotomine Kirei.

"Forming an alliance and running away secretly, this master and disciple is really insidious."

"Yes, he looks like a gentleman, but he will do anything for the Holy Grail. The magician in this story can do anything for the so-called magic, the so-called root.

But, I always feel it’s a little strange.”

"strangeness?"

"As mentioned before, those who can be endowed with Command Seals by the Holy Grail have strong obsessions, that is, they have a pursuit to realize their wishes. Then will Kotomine Kirei, this disciple, really hand over the Holy Grail?

Moreover, it was given to a dark hero like Assassin who won the victory by assassination. It always feels malicious. "

"Hideki, you've made a really deep analysis. Do you like this anime so much?"

The two of them laughed, and the bad atmosphere caused by the previous bug incident finally eased a little. Just when Oya Hideki was hoping that the plot would not have any more scenes that would make people physically and psychologically uncomfortable, so that his girlfriend could watch the end and like it, the phone rang.

Picking up the phone from the table, Oya Hideki looked at the contacts on it.

Shohei Kamiyama is his new colleague in the company and also a comic fan. In the days before he lived with his girlfriend, he would always watch anime with her in the room with snacks and chips all night long in his free time.

After taking a look at Kumiko Aoki and getting the signal, Oya Hideki answered the phone without thinking any more. Then he immediately frowned at the sudden loud volume from the other end of the phone and subconsciously moved the phone away from his ear.

Without turning on the speakerphone, both of them could hear the shouts of their fellow comic friend Shohei Kamiyama.

[Hideki, have you watched it? "DARLING in the FRANXX", the first episode of the national team! It's amazing! I'm so mad!

Super smooth and high-quality animation, excellent script, female-style with a perky butt, beautiful girl robot, unique world view, and the super awesome and cute heroine 02, who is outgoing, generous, strong and arrogant, totally my type!

Then the plot rhythm is even more intense. The failed male protagonist is accepted by the strong female protagonist. The useless person who cannot enter FRANXX is the destined protagonist! Crisis! Dangerous situation! Kiss! A kiss seals love! The cool mecha attacks and solves the monsters in a chic way...

Ha, ha~ That's awesome! It's worthy of being the ultimate work made by so many great people together. It completely beats all the works that have been broadcast this year. In my heart, it is infinitely on par with EVA.

Um, have you seen it? Have you seen it? I, I, I am already opening the champagne! 】

He is obsessed with excellent animation works. I still remember the last time I watched "One Punch Man" with him, he was so excited that his face turned red, and he wanted to be the protagonist to fight against the underground people. Shohei Kamiyama is a more emotional anime fanatic than him.

All along, in the Masashi Umezawa incident, he actually supported Sato Yu, but when the animation started, did he go to watch the national team first?

Not only did he watch it, but he also praised it so highly that he was so excited that he called him immediately to recommend it to him...

After a while, Oya Hideki felt a little angry.

“I’m watching Fate/Zero.”

"I watched Sato Yu's film, DARLING in the FRANXX, on my computer with the barrage turned on. People kept coming over and complaining about how boring it was in the barrage.

Especially, is there any disgusting scene playing over there? Many people flocked here at the same time, complaining that they were sick of the animation, couldn’t watch it anymore, etc. ”

I don't think there is anything disgusting about it. I have been fascinated by "Fate/Zero" and am deeply attracted by the special world view presented in the first episode of the animation. Oya Hideki wanted to refute it like this, but when he looked at his girlfriend Kumiko Aoki who had just vomited in the bathroom, he still couldn't say such words.

Animation is a pastime that pursues gorgeous images and entertainment effects. The audience who would react like his girlfriend may be the majority and the norm. However, those who like to dig deep into the core of the work and watch the same work over and over again are the real minority.

Looking at it this way, Fate/Zero really seems inferior to...

“Well, we’ll have to watch it to find out. Maybe there are a lot of viewers who first watched DARLING in the FRANXX coming to Fate/Zero and are complaining about the national animation.

Anyway, I have to go to Fate/Zero!"

The TV live broadcast has not ended yet, and the film source has not been uploaded to the website, so the progress bar cannot be pulled back at all. If you watch "Fate/Zero" at this time and continue watching from this time point of more than 20 minutes, it would be a miracle if you can understand it and watch it.

He wanted to scold and advise him, but Shohei Kamiyama had already hung up the phone and didn't give him the chance.

"Ah~"

After hanging up the phone, Oya Hideki couldn't stop sighing, because this guy's sudden call not only made him miss some of the animation, but also ruined his good mood.

Is "DARLING in the FRANXX" really that much better than "Fate/Zero"?

"I think this animation is pretty good. Kamiyama-kun hasn't looked at this side yet, so it's normal to make misjudgments."

Wrapping her arms around his and caressing them softly, his girlfriend Kumiko Aoki smiled sweetly and comforted him, expressing her joy for "Fate/Zero". However, Oya Hideki knew that this was just because his girlfriend loved him and she noticed that he was in a bad mood and was trying to comfort him.

Unable to say anything else, he could only suppress his sigh in his heart. Already feeling a little depressed, Oya Hideki continued to watch the sequel of the anime.

[Emiya Kiritsugu, this man is the real enemy! ]

[Kotomine Kirei, I have a feeling he is the most dangerous enemy! ]

Before the war, both sides collected intelligence. Through the conversation between master and apprentice in the Toosaka house and the conversation between the Emiya couple in the Snow Castle, the animation gave a detailed introduction to several masters who had already participated in the war, and added more detailed settings about the Holy Grail War.

Among them, the two most dangerous men, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei, each believes that the other is the biggest opponent in this battle.

"This format is great. Time and space keep changing, and the person speaking keeps changing. The lengthy setting is clearly stated in this change without making people feel bored. It's really hard to imagine that young Sato Yuu is so experienced.

Or are people from Kyoto Animation working on this, such as Takemoto, Yamada, etc.?"

Talking about settings, especially talking about settings for a long time, usually disgusts the audience and makes them feel bored. However, through various clever narrative methods, "Fate/Zero" has largely smoothed out this defect, making the story still feel novel and interesting.

Perhaps, the outstanding world view itself and the setting of seven teams of masters and servants competing for the wishing machine are attractive enough and are also an important reason why people do not feel bored.

In addition, magicians, wizards, theory of magical bloodline... these minor settings besides the Holy Grail War are also extremely interesting. I always feel that the wonders of this world can be further explored. If Sato Yuu publishes a collection of settings, Oya Hideki thinks he would be happy to buy it and study it day and night.

But... when he glanced at his girlfriend Kumiko Aoki and yawned secretly with her hands covering her mouth, Oya Hideki felt even more depressed.

No matter how clever the means are, a setting is still a setting, and it will eventually be something that most people will find boring.

It’s time to speed up the pace. In the remaining ten minutes of the first episode, let the Holy Grail War begin and have a thrilling battle.

Oya Hideki was so looking forward to it, but when the camera turned, his expectations were dashed again.

In the empty hall, the collapsed figure was eye-catching. It was Matou Kariya, whose hair had turned from pure black to gray. In just a few days, he had been tortured beyond recognition. He was paralyzed on one side of his body, and there seemed to be something wriggling in his blood vessels. He replaced the poor girl Sakura, and it seemed that he could no longer hold on.

"Well."

Unable to bear it, Kumiko Aoki screamed and subconsciously hugged him tightly.

Afterwards, the scene brightens up and we come to Weber who stole the teacher's relic. He hypnotizes the old couple to become his son's lodging, and a fairly warm daily scene follows.

"This little boy is quite cute."

Kumiko Aoki's brows relaxed and she laughed at the interesting interaction, changing her opinion of Waver from a while ago. Then, the laughter stopped again.

Sato Yu knows how to make twists and turns, and knows how to "disgust people". Following Weber's relaxed and happy daily life, and following the tsundere scene of the cute girl Toosaka Rin who made Kumiko Aoki smile like an aunt and exclaim "kawaii", the camera suddenly switched and once again cut to the Matou house, to Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura.

This work can reveal a lot of information from the depiction of the eyes. Similar to Emiya Kiritsugu, the eyes of both Matou Yanye and Matou Sakura are dull.

[Are you scared by me? Ha, I seem to have lost to the bugs again. ]

His body was already bruised and battered, but dragging his half-crippled body, Matou Kariya still forced himself to smile, and told unfunny jokes to cheer up the girl who was also covered in wounds, and especially whose heart was completely broken.

But it was in vain. The girl seemed to have lost the ability to smile. She just nodded slightly, which made people sad.

But the voice actor's performance is very brilliant, [Well, your face...], the sentence is plain, but in the plainness, one can hear the little concern hidden in the girl's words, proving that she has not completely lost her emotions, which makes people...

Even more sad.

[Hey, Sakura, after uncle finishes his work, let's go out and play together, okay? Bring your mom and your sister with you.]

【I don’t have anyone I can call a mother or a sister.】

"Ah...how could it be..."

Always sentimental, when she heard Sakura's resolute and desperate words, Kumiko Aoki's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and her hands covering her mouth and her voice were trembling.

I don't have anyone to call a mom or a sister...

A five-year-old child was adopted, given to outsiders for so-called magic, thrown into a pile of insects and subjected to inhuman abuse. Her body and mind were destroyed. She should have been looking forward to her family's help, but now, such words were said by Ying herself...

[Then let's take Aoi and Rin from the Tohsaka family, along with uncle and Sakura, the four of us, and go somewhere far away, and play together like we used to.]

Can I still meet those people?

[Yes, it will definitely work. Uncle can promise you that! ]

Fortunately, there is her gentle uncle Matou Kariya who is willing to share the pain with her and give everything to save her. Sakura seems to still have someone who loves her and she still has hope.

“What are you hoping for? First you let such a small, cute, and pitiful child despair, shatter her beautiful life, and then give her a tiny portion of redemption that cannot even be called redemption. Is this what you call [love and hope]?

Sato Yuu, that guy has no heart!"

Angry, she buried her head in her boyfriend's arms and sobbed, and Kumiko Aoki hit his shoulder.

The so-called tragedy is to crush beautiful things in front of others. This was the case with Urobuchi in the previous world, and now Sato Yuu is also on the path of a "warrior of love."

This kind of guy is probably the one that is being treated as a degenerate.

Not only was the sentimental Kumiko Aoki venting her emotions with a frown, but Oya Hideki was also cursing in his heart.

After this section, the setting is finally told roughly the same.

Starting with the gloomy words of the old bug man in the Matou house to Matou Kariya, the Matou house, the Tousaka house, the Einzbern Castle, and the forest of Fuyuki City, the venue of the Holy Grail War, even though the time is actually different, through clever editing, the Four Heroic Spirits are always "summoned at the same time."

【Full, full, full, full, full, full】

The four riders are summoned at the same time, and the scene is grand. With the epic BGM gradually increasing in volume, the hearts of the audience are also moved as the spells are chanted.

After an entire episode of setting up, it’s finally, finally here!

The summoning of heroic spirits has finally come to the card drawing stage. So many magicians with different personalities, life experiences, and pursuits are summoned at the same time. Who will be the servants who respond to the summons?

The scabbard, the cloak, the stone slab, and the crazy magic of the Matou family... Just as the spell says [filled], the audience's expectations are also filled!

[It repeats five times, but is abandoned when it is full]

[The foundation is silver and iron, the foundation is stone and the Duke of the Contract, the ancestor is my ancestor Shubaiyin Aogu, who erected a barrier to block the wind from the sky, closed the four doors, came out from the crown, and circulated on the three-way road leading to the kingdom]

[Declare, you are under my command, my life is entrusted to your sword, if you wish to reside in the Holy Grail, follow this intention, obey this principle, then you will do it]

[I swear here that I will accomplish all the good in the world, and I will suppress all the evil in the world]

It's complicated and cumbersome, with unclear meaning, but it's wonderful and mysterious. It's paired with magic arrays made of blood and mercury, and the voice actors' energetic performances, and the magnificent and extreme visual effects. Although the spell is so second-year, but...

Men are boys until they die, and which man has never experienced a middle school mentality?

He opened his eyes wide and watched the TV excitedly. As the spell was chanted and the pictures kept switching, Oya Hideki's heart also beat and vibrated along with it. He clenched his fists and used all his strength. He leaned forward and looked directly at the screen.

If he knew the subsequent spells, he would definitely recite them at this moment. Looking up at her boyfriend who was completely mesmerized, she sighed that he was really a child. In her heart, Kumiko Aoki suddenly let go of her prejudice against Sato Yumushi's plot and looked forward to the arrival of the heroic spirit.

[You are the Seventh Heaven who is entangled with the Three Great Word Spirits, coming from the Wheel of Restraint, the Guardian of the Balance! ]
