Chapter 478: The Stingy Spirit of the Imperial Leader
The barbecue party held in the ruins of Emiya Shirou's house, full of complaints and joy, lasted for nearly two hours before it ended lively. In the last part, Saber and Sandra were as expected as I expected.
There was a confrontation, and the two kings, who were famous for their big stomachs, almost competed and inhumanly cut up the obviously over-prepared barbecue. It was as if I couldn't understand the structure of Sandora's stomach. In fact, Saber's
The appetite has also exceeded the range that can be explained by biology. If Shandora's hunting range was not so bizarre, maybe the two of them could really compete with each other in terms of appetite.
But unfortunately, Saber was still slightly inferior in the end. The moment Sandora broke off a piece of iron from the grill with a proud smile, Saber's defeat became an established fact.
"I'm willing to give in." King Da Mao bowed his noble head to Shandora so sincerely, but as a serious knight king, he was induced by a heartless Xiling Queen to start such a curious competition, what do you think?
Does it fit?
Since the main house has been destroyed by the landing module and forced to land, it has become a big problem for Shirou Emiya and a large number of box office guests to sleep at night. Emiya has always complained that the house is too big and it is always empty when he lives alone.
Yes, but now this guy finally doesn't have to complain so much. Instead, he has to worry about how to find a place to stay at night.
But in the end, I declined Tohsaka Rin's good intention to let everyone stay at her place temporarily, because I was completely sure that a young lady who appeared to have a great family but was already poor and fearful in her heart would never give up any of her tenants.
opportunity, especially when Pandora miraculously took out a set of standard planetary habitats from the portable space, Tohsaka's eyes almost sparkled with a gem-like fanaticism when he looked at us. I bet that as long as there is a trace,
Given the opportunity, this poor young lady will not hesitate to extort our "precious alien wealth" until not a single screw is left.
So, less than three days after landing in the fate world, we were in Emiya's house and slept in the steel barracks from the Xiling Empire again. Although Emiya himself said that this novel experience was quite interesting, Lian Yuan
Ban Rin showed eagerness to try, but I only felt a burst of sadness in my balls.
The next morning, we got up early in order to let Pandora quickly return the living cabin to her portable space. After all, it was terrifying enough that more than half of the entire Emiya mansion was destroyed overnight.
A row of all-in-one living pods appeared that looked quite high-tech at first glance, so Emiya could spend the rest of his life in the research institute.
Then, there was the scene that everyone expected, such as Taiga Fujimura, who came to have a meal, was frightened by the Emiya compound that looked like a battlefield, and became incoherent.
"Emiya-Shirou!!!" Fujimura's high-octave scream caused the car alarms of the people next door to ring. The strong woman with the reputation of a tiger lifted the unfortunate Emiya-kun with one hand.
He reached mid-air and pointed at the ruins with his other hand, "Is this also the result of a gas explosion!?"
"Fujimura-san, Fujimura-san, you must calm down!" Emiya Shirou, who was lifted in the air, quickly tried to calm down the nominal guardian who was going berserk. "This is just a normal gas pipeline explosion accident. The house
It had been in disrepair for a long time, and the gas pipelines had been experiencing frequent failures recently. The explosion could only be said to be an unlucky accident. The police also made such a judgment when they came over in the morning."
The police who came in the morning? Sorry, the omnipotent Miss Tohsaka has long been "controlled" by some means. For the magician organization, unconventional means must be used to deceive ordinary people and cover up the consequences of magic activities.
Various catastrophic consequences are quite common.
"Tell me the truth, have you provoked someone you can't afford to offend? The mafia or the terrorists?!" Fujimura, who was running rampant, suddenly put Emiya down, then pressed the opponent's shoulders hard, and said very seriously
asked.
Although this association was a bit strange, it seemed that she really cared about her friend, an orphan. Faced with Fujimura's unfailing expression of concern, Emiya, who was not good at lying, immediately fell silent.
Do you want to admit that your home was bombed like this by aliens?
Fortunately, Ruiko stepped forward in time to relieve the situation: "Sister Fujimura, Emiya didn't lie. There was indeed a serious gas explosion last night. If we hadn't been at the dojo at that time... uh, practicing swordsmanship,
But it’s all dangerous.”
"Yeah?" Seeing that Saten Ruiko, who had always been very well-behaved and honest, testified like this, Fujimura became dubious. Emiya quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, yes, Sister Fujimura, this house is really too old.
The gas pipeline here should be damaged, and coupled with the previous two gas explosions, the pipeline here seems to be completely scrapped."
"Is that so?" Fujimura looked like he had been completely brainwashed and nodded. "In this case, wouldn't it be impossible to live here? Emiya, it's decided that starting from tomorrow, you will move to my place.
Go live!"
"Ah?" Emiya was stunned, quickly shook his head, joking, it would be easy to move there by himself, but what about a bunch of aliens at home? And now he is the target of the magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War. Once he moves there,
, even if Fujimura-san is the eldest daughter of a mafia boss, she will definitely be implicated, "There's no need for this, anyway, this is the house left by Kiritsugu's father. As an heir, how can you leave at this moment?
What? You should stay and clean up the mess!"
"What about your friends?"
Fujimura showed satisfaction with Emiya's answer, and then turned his attention to us.
"As Kiritsugu's lifelong friend, it is our unshirkable responsibility to help his family get through this difficult time!"
I raised my face with a loud voice, and the bright morning sun shone brightly on my face.
"So... so touching," Fujimura Tiger exclaimed exaggeratedly, "This is such a touching and shining quality. Don't worry, although the old man in the family is a troublesome guy, I will definitely persuade him to help you.
Rebuilt this mansion!"
Sandora and I looked at each other and cheered in our hearts at the same time: "Yeah! I found the enemy~!"
This time, even Avalon's construction team was spared.
"By the way, Sister Fujimura, didn't Sakura come over again today?"
Seeing that Fujimura finally calmed down, Emiya Shirou had the opportunity to mention the question he wanted to ask from the beginning, "I used to come here every day, but recently...Sakura seems to be very busy."
"You stupid boy, you have indeed reached your age."
Fujimura showed an old-fashioned look, looked at Emiya with an ambiguous look, and then decisively changed the topic before the latter could refute, "As for Sakura, she said yesterday that she suddenly felt dizzy, and she seems to be resting at home today."
"Is Sakura sick?" Emiya immediately became nervous, and the concern in his voice made Fujimura's expression even more ambiguous.
"It's just a small problem. She sounded quite energetic when she called. She probably just caught a cold... Wow! It's already this time! I haven't even had breakfast! It's a damn gas explosion, this is everywhere
The world of gas explosions will simply be destroyed—la—la—”
With a series of long sounds, Fujimura, who seemed to have regarded being late for work as his instinct, left our sight all the way, leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion.
"Okay, seeing as it's getting late, I should go to school."
Emiya looked at the direction where Fujimura disappeared from a distance, sighed helplessly, and then turned around to say, but Saber suddenly stopped him.
"Saber?" Emiya asked in surprise.
The blond girl hesitated for a moment, then cast a searching look at us.
Obviously, she wanted to tell her summoner about who appointed the rider, including the fact that the girl named Sakura Matou was actually one of the masters of the Holy Grail War. For a person who adheres to the way of knights, it is necessary to
It is too contradictory to keep such a secret but hide it from the master to whom one is supposed to be loyal.
Alas, I would have known that we would not have let Saber get involved in the first place, and in the end we couldn't help but let her know some of the information we had "observed" before. Now trouble has finally come, but then again, capturing a heroic spirit alive
But letting Saber, who is a hostile heroic spirit, stay out of the matter is probably not possible. Moreover, Emiya himself was also one of the parties involved in capturing Rider. Sooner or later, he will ask this question, and Saber will definitely not lie when the time comes.
"What's wrong?" Emiya is not a fool. Just by looking at the interaction between our eyes, he knew that we must be hiding something from him. Saber, who has always been honest and sincere, looked like he was hesitant to speak, which made him feel even more
The curiosity in my heart is uncontrollable.
I casually took out the bubble phone I made by myself. It claimed that you could dial any number to call the White House hotline, but in fact it was more of a high-definition handheld game console. I dialed the Tosaka family's phone: "Hello, Tosaka
Is it? It’s me, uh, an alien... help me ask for leave for Emiya. He went out yesterday to sleepwalk and hasn’t returned yet. I’m afraid he won’t be able to attend class... You know he’s a liar, but you still ask! Just make up any excuse!"
I'm afraid there's no one left who can talk to Miss Tohsaka like this except us "aliens" who are deeply in awe of the latter, right?
"Hey! Don't make decisions like this!"
Seeing that I had ruined the perfect attendance record that I had maintained for a whole semester in one fell swoop, Emiya immediately protested loudly.
"If you decide to go to class after listening to what Saber said, it's not too late to protest."
I rolled my eyes at this guy and threw the mess directly to Saber.
The rider is still locked in a special cage in the dojo. It is said to be a prison, but it is more like a treatment facility. In addition to not allowing the patient to leave at will, the crystal platform not only does no harm, it is even equivalent to a heroic spirit.
Plant treasures.
Rider must have noticed it herself, because when we came to her, she immediately approached her.
"Matō Sakura didn't come here today," I said before the other person could. "The nether energy has invaded her brain nerves, and she started to feel dizzy yesterday."
"How could it be...didn't you say that kind of erosion is harmless to humans?"
"When did I say it's harmless? I just said it's less harmful to humans, and you don't have to worry. According to the current intelligence, Sakura's current condition is not too bad. How is your recovery now?
"
"It's nothing serious," Rider shook his head, "But when can you start treating Sakura's body?"
"I came to you just to talk about this." I casually took out a chair and sat down next to it. "From now on, everything I say is true, and you must keep it confidential. Understand
?"
Rider was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "As long as it doesn't harm Sakura, I have no interest in revealing your secrets."
I took a breath, and then said slowly: "First point, everything about Sakura, please note, everything, including the average time she yawned for the first time every morning when she was still at Tohsaka's house, we all know it very well.
This is a major premise.”
The rider was stunned for a longer time this time. Such news obviously surprised her, but in the end, she nodded. Well, she probably agreed with the sentence "Peeping is the prerogative of aliens."
"Then, we now have a way to end everything and let Sakura have the happy life she deserves. All of this is related to the erosion of nether energy that you have suffered. I need your help to cooperate with an experiment. This experiment is unprecedented and will be harmful to you.
There is a certain risk, but our technology will ensure that the risk is minimized. So, between a one percent risk and letting Sakura regain her life, which one do you choose?"
"If it is true as you say, then it will be no problem for me to cooperate with any experiment. Heroic spirits are immortal anyway."
After taking more than ten seconds to roughly understand what I said, the heroic spirit named Medusa gave this answer without hesitation.
"Very good, then tomorrow the nether energy in Ying's body will temporarily calm down, and I will arrange for her to come to see you." I nodded, and then took out something from the portable space, "This is the contract, you sign here,
As for the trial compensation, do you have a bank card?"
Rider, who looked serious just now, even a little nervous, lost his balance and almost fell to the ground: "You still sign the contract?"
"Nonsense! My subordinate is a legal scientific research institution!" I looked at it with a matter-of-fact expression, watching Rider pick up a pen to write and draw on the paper with a troubled expression, and then suddenly discovered something quite interesting, "Hey, Meidu
Sha, are you illiterate?"
This clumsy way of holding the pen, and the idiotic behavior of writing crookedly like drawing circles, are just like me... well, just like a primary school student who has just learned to write!
"How could it be! It's just that I haven't written for a long time, and I'm not used to modern writing..." Rider retorted on the spot, then suddenly froze, "Do you know my real name?!"
The true name of the heroic spirit is their biggest secret. It involves their past achievements and the extension of the unique skills and treasures that they rely on to survive. After being summoned, the heroic spirit will not let anyone except its master.
People know their own real names, so when I accidentally called out the other person's real name, Medusa immediately felt very surprised and alert.
It seems that this cannot be explained by alien peeping technology, and that reason is too lame...
"This is a secret," I explained with the all-purpose reason. "Anyway, I know the name of every heroic spirit in the entire Holy Grail War. Their unique skills, use of Noble Phantasms, preferences, living habits, foraging range, hibernation cycle, height, weight, and cholesterol levels.
I know everything!"
"Although what you said is quite powerful, I always feel like something got mixed up in the end."
Rider said in a subtle tone while handing back the signed contract. The series of symbols on it that were more abstract than the paintings drawn by his sister were breathtaking. And the strange thing was that Medusa was obviously just a very simple person.
Even if you add some family surname and mixed surname to your name, it won’t be enough to sign two full lines, right?
"If you made a mistake, cross it out."
The rider tilted his head in embarrassment, still maintaining the same indifferent tone that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Is it just my imagination? It seems that she blushed just now?
When he came out of the dojo, the first thing he saw was Emiya Shirou who had been waiting in front of him.
Looking at his face, I can roughly guess how much Saber told him. I'm afraid even those things we got from us, about Sakura being adopted by the Matou family since she was a child, and being transformed by the Marking Bug... these things, Emiya should now
Got it all.
Looking far away, I can see Saber standing next to the ruins of the former main house, casting an apologetic but unwavering gaze towards me. Obviously, although it is difficult to accept those things, sooner or later,
Everything will be exposed, and the honest Saber finally made the judgment that he should tell everything.
"Are those all true?"
Slowly coming to us, Emiya asked in a tone that sounded calm. He lowered his head so that no one could see his face clearly, but if you think about it, you can tell that it must not be a good look.
"What's your decision now?"
I didn't answer his question, but this rhetorical question explained everything. So, Emiya, what do you think? For that girl you have always had a crush on but didn't know it, after knowing her experience,
What answer would you give?
"Of course, rescue Sakura!" Emiya Shirou barely hesitated for a second, and even shouted such words reflexively.
"A wise choice, young man," I patted the other party's shoulder in an old-fashioned way, "Then just rescue her. A complete rescue, we will help you."
This time, it was Emiya's turn to be surprised.
Facing the other party's unexpected look, I chuckled and said, "It will be used as compensation for smashing your house. Do you agree?"
Shandora next to me immediately stabbed me in the waist with her elbow: "Isn't it too cruel to trick people into participating in biochemical experiments and then refuse the compensation for forced demolition?"
Come on, just watch, this silly boy is so fooled.
Sure enough, Emiya Shirou didn't hesitate at all, and immediately showed a grateful expression: "If this price can save Sakura, then it is really a bargain!"
