()Suddenly I remembered that it was ten years ago, the person I missed.
He is not affectionate. Although he is called father, he is more like a strict teacher and does not even feel family affection. He is a veritable 'magician' who only has magic in his heart.
However, it was only once that he stroked his young self's head - although it was said to be a stroke, it was more like a ravage. That was the first and last time that he used his hands to make an intimate gesture between father and daughter.
, I still remember it deeply, including what he said at that time.
"I'm leaving, do you know what to do next?"
He nodded and answered his father's question,
If I had known that this was the last time we would see each other, I would have made him laugh with my treasured jokes.
In order to one day make this person put down his serious expression, I practiced telling jokes again and again by myself. Before Ren, I let the association take care of me, and then I left the judgment to you. Can you make it alone?"
When he said this, he was worried
Family heirloom gems, gems passed down from the great master, ways to manage the basement
Seeing him talking about things he had never been taught before, one after another, the child also noticed in his heart
Then, my father left and never came back that afternoon ten years ago——
The war that my father participated in was not a war between countries, but a war between seven magicians fighting for the omnipotent cauldron called the "Holy Grail."
A magician is not an actor on the stage who makes people laugh by relying on various blind spots of vision and perception, but a real "mystery", including manipulation of elements, curses, etc., perhaps like the "magic" mentioned in many novels nowadays.
division"?
But the title "magicians" is wrong. What they use is only magic, not magic. The so-called magic is to use mystery to achieve things that science can also accomplish, such as igniting fire and making ice. These are all the same.
It can be done using science.
And magic is a deeper mystery. It touches the realm of the root rules. It is a state that no matter how scientific theory develops, it will not be reached in hundreds or thousands of years. There are only five magics in the world, and there are only five people who can also use magic. They are the only ones who can use magic.
He is a 'magician', superior to all magicians, a realm that he cannot reach in his lifetime, and at the same time, it is also the ultimate goal that all magicians risk their lives to achieve.
In fact, the girl didn't know much about the "Holy Grail War". All she knew was the pitiful content recorded in the documents left by her father. All she knew was that her father failed in that war, and was defeated by
into the hands of an unknown enemy, and then inherited this large family with a long history in the magic world - Tohsaka
I love my father very much, even if he is not kind, even if he has never given me the warm fatherly love I can feel. I have long known that he is a qualified magician, so he has lost the qualification to be a qualified father.
However, he loves himself, even if such love only brings him heavy responsibilities, but this is his father.
"Rin, the Holy Grail will appear one day. This is the responsibility of the Tohsaka family. More importantly, if you want to become a magician, this is a responsibility you cannot escape!"
These were the last words his father said to him, not as a father, but as a magician to his heir.
Therefore, at that moment, the path to follow was decided——
Ten years have passed since that day. Although he has not achieved any achievements that shocked the magic world, he has successfully inherited the Tohsaka family and continues to manage the mystery of this land in Fuyuki City.
but--
While carefully describing the magic circle on the floor, Rin didn't even dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He had reached this point and no mistakes were allowed. His breathing was a little messy. It wasn't because of fatigue, it was just excitement.
What I am doing at this moment is not as a manager, but as a magician, because of my father's last wish - today, ten years later, the Holy Grail has arrived again!
The bright red mark that appeared on my hand a few days ago heralded the beginning of everything.
This bright red crest is not a fashionable tattoo for girls, but a sign that the Holy Grail War will start again - the talisman!
With the command talisman, I also have the qualifications to participate in the Holy Grail War, but the command talisman is only the first step. To participate in this war, what I do now is crucial - summoning heroic spirits.
Those who have created brilliant achievements and great achievements will be transformed into heroic spirits after they die and make a contract with Gaia. This is the realm that human beings can reach with absolute magic. It is already close to the third magic among the five great magics. Of course, heroic spirits are not
They are not necessarily heroes that have existed in reality, but there are also imaginary heroic spirits that are products of human fantasy. Born in fantasy, they are not bound by reality and are often more powerful than ordinary heroic spirits.
Summoning heroic spirits as one's servants, otherwise one would not be able to get involved in the Holy Grail War.
What the girl is doing now is preparing to summon the heroic spirits. In fact, summoning the heroic spirits does not require such a large-scale magic circle. The heroic spirits are summoned by the Holy Grail. As a magician, he is just a 'medium' to contact, capture and provide them.
The Holy Grail can complete all other aspects of the materialized magic power. But the girl still insisted on making such a 'wasteful' preparation and spent half of her past savings. The fact that a stingy girl would do such a thing is enough to show that she is obsessed with it.
The importance attached to this Holy Grail War.
The Holy Grail can fulfill all wishes, but in fact the girl has no clear wish. This is a contradiction! The girl who is betting everything does not know what she is pursuing, but the girl herself does not think so. What she is pursuing may be just
It’s the silhouette of my father’s departure…
"Servants are attracted to symbols. If you want to summon a powerful Servant, symbols related to the Servant are indispensable."
Symbols, or sacred relics, were what was recorded in her father's notes, but the girl did not find any suitable items.
"But it doesn't matter. Even if it doesn't happen, there will be no one besides me who can use Sber~~"
The girl spoke so confidently.
There are seven magicians participating in the battle, and naturally there are seven heroic spirits. They have different ranks: sber, rher, lner, berserker, ster, rer, ssssn. Although each heroic spirit has its own strengths, including the last one.
The real name of the ultimate killer is liberated, but the one with the most advantage in terms of overall strength is undoubtedly Sber, so the target the girl wants to summon has been decided from the beginning.
"Pure silver and iron. The grand duke who made the contract with the cornerstone. The ancestor is our master. Use the wall to block the flowing wind, close the four doors, and circulate on the three-way road leading from the crown to the kingdom."
Silently reciting the incantation that hinted at him to concentrate his mind, the preparation of the magic circle reached the final stage——
"Close. Close. Close. Close. Close. Repeat five times. Just, break the overflowing carvings."
After adding the last touch of the magic circle, the girl stood up.
Look at the clock on the wall. There are still a few minutes left. It will be two o'clock in the morning. That is the time when my magic power is strongest.
The time is just right——
"─────nfng (setting)"
Closing her eyes, Rin recited a mysterious sentence. In fact, the recitation was meaningless. It was just a hint to herself, opening up the body's circuit.
It can be felt that the switch of the body has been turned on, and the nerves in the whole body are replaced by magic circuits. The invasion of foreign objects brings indescribable discomfort to the body, but Rin has long been used to it.
Now she no longer belongs to human beings, she is just a part, a part that completes all aspects of magic.
...melts from fingertips
No, it starts to be filled from the fingertips
Because the magic power absorbed by Xu was too dense, the original physical sensation was covered up.
Therefore, being filled means being broken.
"────────────"
The power flowing through the body is the pure magic power contained in the atmosphere
Absorb this power into yourself who has become a circuit, and convert it into a different magic power
The magician's body is nothing but circuits
In order to connect the circuit between the ghost body and matter
The various mysteries that are accomplished are called magic
...My body is so hot
...sweat oozed out
There are swords piercing my body one after another.
It is a stigma produced by a human body that hates the body that turned into a magic circuit.
Even if you are an excellent magician, you are still a human being
This pain will always be with you as long as you use magic with your body
But we still can’t slow down the circulation.
This painful result has a state that can be "connected" to the abyss of selflessness.
"────────────"
...The pain is throbbing in my left arm.
The magic seal that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Tosaka family began to chant itself in order to assist, and even invaded the nerves.
But it brings deeper pain, but don’t worry about it
Now that I am no longer a human being, pain has become unnecessary.
The magic power of the inhaled atmosphere enters the blood
If it is like hot lead, the moving magic mark is like a thorn-like nerve.
The magic power crawls back and forth in the body like a centipede with fangs.
"────────────"
This pain made Rin forget about herself
At the same time, the effect was obtained
My hearing became sharper and I heard the sound of the clock in the living room.
Ten seconds until two o'clock in the morning
The power that fills the whole body has completely left no gaps
