This is an inconspicuous seaside town located in the far east of Japan. Its name comes from its supposedly extremely long winter.
The chartered flight from Germany landed slowly on the runway. Ilia, who was sitting in her seat, stared blankly outside, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the young man in the seat next to her, who was still dressed in white clothes and black hair.
, is looking through the magic book in his hand with great interest.
It was the collection of Einzbern City, but he flipped through it very quickly, as if he were flipping through a book.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Gu Mo noticed the silver-haired Lolita's gaze and asked lightly without raising his head.
"Nothing..."
Illya's expression was a little stiff and she said in a low voice.
This series of things still happened too fast, and she was a little overwhelmed. Last night, she summoned the berserker, which directly destroyed the Einzbern family's headquarters. Today, she has directly set foot on the land of Fuyuki City. She arrived
I still feel like I'm in a dream.
And this guy who calls himself berserker also shows amazing adaptability to the modern world. All of this is his arrangement.
Including taking over the management and connections of the Einzbern family...
These things about chartering a direct flight from Germany to Fuyuki, Japan...
He looks so skilled, as if he had planned it beforehand...
Illya's mood was very complicated, but she could only obey the other party's arrangements. This person was too proactive, and besides, she could only rely on the other party subconsciously, and unconsciously gave up the initiative.
The silver-haired lolita, who appeared to be only about ten years old but was actually eighteen years old, avoided the pair of eyes and turned her head again, staring blankly at the scenery outside, looking at the airport and the city skyline in the distance.
, a trace of nostalgic reminiscence flashed through the beautiful red eyes...
There is also the mixture of love and hate that even she herself cannot understand.
——Ten years ago, my father and mother left me and set foot on this land.
——Then he never came back...
Because her mother eventually died here, her father also betrayed her mother and family, abandoned his daughter, and eventually adopted another child outside and never came back... Illya's hatred for him began at that time.
, it was also at that time that I began to hate a life without self.
Now, she finally set foot on this land as scheduled, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious...
But the only thing that can be confirmed is that he was eager to kill Emiya Kiritsugu.
In the seat next to him, Gu Mo calmly flipped through the magic book in his hand, but he also noticed the violent psychological activities of the legal loli next to him. Even if he didn't want to deliberately read her mind, it was difficult to pretend not to see it because the emotional fluctuations were too violent.
, there are huge waves hidden behind the calm.
The result is that in the divergent spiritual wavelength, the relevant information becomes very obvious...
A simple metaphor is like the mood bubbles that appear on the characters' heads in the game, similar to dialog boxes. They will appear even if you don't click on them. As long as you enter this interface, you will always see some of them.
He who was sitting next to him was no exception. Even though he had restrained his mental power, the distance was so close and the silver-haired loli's mood swings were so intense that he did not take the initiative to read the information contained in the mental wavelength.
It will still receive the naturally divergent part.
But he didn't say anything. This kind of extremeness didn't happen in a day or two.
It was the result of the Einzbern family's deliberate misleading for ten years. In fact, Emiya Kiritsugu was unable to return to Einzbern City at all because he did not win the Holy Grail and even destroyed it with his own hands.
, was regarded as a betrayer by the Einzbern family, and the barrier was forever closed to him.
Until his death, Emiya Kiritsugu was never able to step into the city of Einzbern, and he never saw his daughter again...
And under such circumstances, the information that can reach Illya's ears is obviously the filtered part. The Einzbern family needs her to participate in the next Holy Grail War, so naturally she needs to be motivated.
The desire for revenge against his father is a very good reason.
"berserker..."
Feeling the plane moving slowly on the runway, it finally came to a complete stop. Knowing that it was about to set foot on Fuyuki City, the silver-haired Loli finally turned around, hesitated, and looked seriously at the person next to her who was about to get up.
The young man opened his mouth and called out.
This was probably the first time I actively called him since I completed the summoning yesterday.
"Huh?"
Gu Mo turned his head when he heard this and hummed calmly.
——Can you help me win?
The silver-haired loli's eyes stared at him closely, with a trace of inevitable nervousness and anxiety. She opened her mouth, but she didn't seem to know what to say. Contrary to her young age, she hated showing weakness to others.
Always trying desperately to hide his weakness.
This is the rule of survival that she has gradually learned since her father betrayed her and she stayed alone in the Einzbern family.
The atmosphere was slightly silent.
"..."
"..."
"Are you...are you really a berserker?" Illya finally opened her mouth, but she still didn't ask the question that made her feel weak. Instead, she changed her explanation temporarily, but this was also the deep feeling in her heart.
One of the doubts.
"Of course, you are the one who summoned me. Isn't this kind of thing unclear..."
Gu Mo replied without any guilt.
Although he got into the car first and occupied Hercules' car and drove back, when he summoned it, the other party was originally preparing to summon the Berserker, so when he appeared in the world, his rank was also fixed.
In this regard.
——Madness (e-): A skill that increases the ability value through violent transformation. Obviously this is just a symbolic performance. I will not be affected at all and retain all my rationality. Of course, I will not be favored. Just because in
When summoning, use the madness spell to interfere with the class obtained.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
That's basically it.
Of course, this is just a template on the surface. Only he himself knows what is actually going on.
"But you don't show any signs of going berserk..." the silver-haired Loli whispered. This person is too rational. For example, in this scene of holding a book and reading quietly, it is difficult to connect with the class of berserker.
Together, how could she not doubt it?
And once you become a master who has made a contract with a heroic spirit, you will automatically be granted the skill that can see through the servant's ability value.
But from the moment she summoned the young man in front of her until now, Illya has not been able to see the other party's face... If she hadn't been able to clearly feel the connection with the contract, she would have even suspected that the person in front of her was...
Not a follower.
"That's because my madness skill is EX level." Gu Mo replied seriously.
"Ex level?"
"Ex-level refers to exceptions, not high-level or low-level in the general sense. It means that my madness is a special case..." Facing the confused expression of the silver-haired Lolita, Gu Mo explained without changing his expression, "I can maintain
It’s relatively rational, but the madness also gave me a big bonus.”
"Okay, we're here... let's go down."
Having said this, he stood up from his seat and changed the topic without leaving a trace.
The two maids on the plane, Sera and Ligelit, had also been prepared long ago. They each pulled a suitcase and stood in the aisle waiting quietly.
Illya bit her lip and could only stand up. She still didn't want to show weakness, and she hadn't trusted this extremely suspicious guy so easily. Although it seemed like she could only rely on this person now.
A follower, because apart from the other party, there is nothing else to rely on.
——But the other party is still his servant...
——I am still the Master, this is enough...
She glanced at Sera and Ligarite who were standing quietly in the aisle, pursed her lips and lowered her head, followed the young man to the cabin door, she didn't know what she was thinking about, but subconsciously touched the back of her left hand.
The three tattoo-like engravings gave Illya a sense of security.
…………
……
Further west in the deep mountainous area of Fuyuki City, the long national highway faces away from the lights of the city and extends toward the west.
In the depths of the undeveloped land and forest, the illusions and barriers that should only be opened every sixty years to welcome the owners who enter the castle to participate in the war, at this moment have given way, and only a few of them have passed.
Today, ten years later, it was opened again.
Because the Fifth Holy Grail War is about to start again, the Einzbern family has already made preparations. While asking Illya to summon the servants in advance, they have already sent servants to clean up the place.
So everything in the castle is brand new and spotless——
The floor is so smooth that it can be used as a mirror, and the potted plants in the vases are also gorgeous. There is no sense that they have been left aside for ten years, and there is no old-fashioned atmosphere at all.
"Take a good rest. I'll reset the barrier first and build a position."
Gu Mo was quite interested in this castle. He walked around it, returned to the few people who were waiting in front of the gate but did not go in, and waved to Ilia.
"Build... a position?"
Illya was stunned for a moment and looked at him in a daze.
"As a berserker, it makes sense that I know a little bit about position construction skills..." Gu Mo blinked and explained.
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere was a bit stagnant and there was no response.
"Okay, master, go and have a rest. Don't wait for me...I'll go out and end the Holy Grail War after I finish working here." Gu Mo waved his hand boldly, turned around and walked towards the forest, stepping forward step by step.
It was only a hundred or so meters away and disappeared after a few steps.
The silver-haired Loli finally reacted as if she had woken up from a dream. She was really shocked by this man's words and deeds.
When she wanted to call the other party, she found that no one could be seen. This made her feel powerless deep in her already uneasy heart...
Illya bit her lower lip tightly, her face couldn't help but become more gloomy. She knew that although the other party called him master on the surface, in fact, he had no awareness of the master-slave relationship at all, and acted completely according to his own ideas. As for her, she just
By the way...
What should we do...
As for what the other party said about going out to end the Holy Grail War directly, she didn't take it seriously. After all, it would take two months for the Holy Grail War to really start. Her side was the first to sneak away... The other parties simply couldn't do it.
The master has not been decided yet, and there is no opponent to match with.
…………
……
Time passes gradually.
Just before dusk, Gu Mo had already rearranged his position, left the forest in the outer suburbs, and entered the city.
"Let's kill Jin Shining first. Running away is too serious. We have been preparing ten years in advance. How can this be done? It does not comply with the principles of fair, open and just competition... and then go to Emiya Shirou to take Avalon, so
As a result, only two of the three Yu families are left."
He held the plan book in his hand, walked on the road illuminated by the setting sun with his head lowered, while writing and drawing on it with the tip of his pen, quickly making a list of actions.
"Then kill Matou first, then destroy Tohsaka, and unify Fuyuki!"
"Well, if the Matou family is such a disgusting hostile camp, we can just wipe it out. As for the Tosaka family... should we suppress her economically and make her bear a large amount of foreign debt? We are all gentlemen and there is no need to fight or kill.
Killed..."
Pondering over the information about the Tosaka family, he suddenly felt that a hostile takeover was a better tactic against the enemy.
