Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

Don't die!Little eggplant!Finally got the dream, what will Lixiang do if you die? !

Next volume, Matthew's death (joyful tone)

Just kidding, I just thought it was time for these two guys to make out, so I started the relationship acceleration event.

In short, the protagonists of the next volume are Lixiang and Little Eggplant, so Albion will have to wait later.Then... it's almost time to release Group A slowly, right?It's the fourth singularity.

■In a word

This volume is mixed with all kinds of messy things, and the next volume will probably be mixed with all kinds of messy things.Once again, thank you all for seeing this, on this basis——

——Let's meet again in a future story.

1. Girl's Funeral Song

■Chaldea Corridor

It was a normal day.

Lixiang woke up as usual, went to exercise with Martha as usual, and went to help in the kitchen as usual.

Because the exploration of the fourth singularity is about to begin, Tachika began to prepare for the exploration of the singularity as usual.I met Mash in the corridor, so I ran over as usual.

The purple girl saw her important senior, showed a happy smile, and raised her hand as usual to respond to Lixiang.

At that moment, [as usual] itself was destroyed.

The bright red one, the cloudy one.The one that smells of rust.It was like a flood that overflowed after a dam collapsed, overflowing from all the holes in the girl's face.

"Eh...? What's wrong? Senior... I feel dizzy..."

The purple girl felt that her soul seemed to be separated from her body at this moment, and everything in the world became extremely heavy.Her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

"—Little Eggplant!!"

"Fu!!"

The white cub seemed to be yelling in a panic, and Li Xiang subconsciously ran over with all his strength, crushing the metal ground.She reached out her hand vigorously to the purple girl who fell to the ground, as if she would never stand up again if she was allowed to fall down.

"Little Eggplant!! Matthew!! What are you doing, what happened—"

"Fu! Fufu!!"

The red-stained Tachika's white uniform poured out of Mash's body. She was a human being in two lifetimes, but the girl was at a loss like a child at the moment.

What will come next is the long [past] and unreasonable [misfortune].

In a sense——yes, this time, what I want to tell is a story that will once again...or in other words, truly determine the future of the two girls.

■About three years ago, an unknown city

—I'm in love.

At the beginning, it was for dignity, or just couldn't bear the existence of such a thing in the world.

We are clearly supposed to be above those pieces of meat, but there is such a thing that subverts our status in those pieces of meat.

That is poison.

As long as it exists, it will kill us, as long as it exists, it will defeat us.I'm afraid that even if I turn myself into the dirt of another world, as long as I wait and wait, I won't be able to fight against that.

I can't live with that fact.

So if you want to kill, you must kill.So I gathered chess pieces, tried to retrieve a corner of the treasure I once owned from the fairy tale era, and turned thousands of pieces of meat into a pile of natural disasters, in order to tear up and destroy that thing.

However, that thing shattered the natural disaster as it should.

And then—I'm in love.

Did I jump a little too far?

After all, everything else is just insignificant stuff.

When that thing, that beautiful maiden, burned with noble rage, and cut me to pieces with a holy blade.My heart was touched, and my soul trembled violently, as if I came to this world for the first time.

Every time I was cut by that blade, every time I was burned by that anger.Every time, every time, my soul would vibrate violently, like a broken machine.

Yes, I am in love.

If this isn't love, what is it?

I--

■Chaldea · Infirmary Waiting Area

"Mash is fine."

Roman came out of the infirmary, and said something they couldn't understand to Li Xiang and the followers who were waiting outside.

The posture of the purple girl when she fell down, how does that appearance have something to do with the adjective "nothing"?

"Don't get me wrong."

Roman sat down opposite Lixiang, clenched his hands on his knees, trembling as if he was suppressing something huge.Then, he tried his best to speak calmly,

"The reason why Matthew suddenly vomited blood and fell down was neither because of excessive fatigue, nor because of any serious injury. It can even be said that whether he vomited blood or fell to the ground... it was just a [normal phenomenon]."

"……normal phenomenon?"

"Ah, it's a normal phenomenon. To put it to an extreme point, it's just that the individual named Matthew Kyrielight has reached the limit of action—in this year, Matthew's life will come to an end."

"……Eh?"

At that moment, Lixiang felt that the world suddenly lost its color.Amakusa on the side understood at this moment, and told the reason why a young girl bears such a cruel fate.

"That child... is [artificial human]?"

"……That's it."

Taking a deep breath to prepare himself, Roman raised his head.

"I will. Rather, I should have said it earlier, and it may be a little late to say it now—let me tell you why."

[Humanity Survival Guarantee Organization] Phyllis Chaldea.

Out of the mission of [protecting the future of mankind], this institution has conducted a large number of inhumane and dangerous experiments. [The Fusion of Heroic Spirits and Humans], that is, the [Sub-Servant Project] is one of them.

Ritsuka made a "Kamen Rider? ]'s complaint, that complaint... In a sense, it hit the bullseye.

Heroic spirits are powerful forces with will, and in some cases, they will even turn swords against their own people.As a [weapon] necessary for singularity exploration, it is really difficult to call it [safety].Therefore, let this power be fused with pure human beings who can obey orders.

The so-called [pure human], in simple terms, is the [element body] artificially produced through [cloning] and [genetic modification].A large number of bodies were born in this project, and the only successful case among these bodies is [Case of Summoning No. [-]], commonly known as [Matthew Kyrielight].

However, the heroic spirit fused with Mash did not lend its power to Chaldea.It is a matter of course if you want to say it, there are not many Heroic Spirits in this world who can forgive such inhuman behavior.

until--

"Until the day Chaldea explodes, right?"

Lixiang picked up Roman's words and said.

Matthew always thought that he was fused with the Heroic Spirit on the day when Chaldea exploded, and this was the reason - Matthew did get the power entrusted by the Heroic Spirit on that day, and was reincarnated as a sub-Servant.

However, no matter in the world of science or in the world of magic, so-called [artificial life forms] are not normal life at all.The individual named Mash naturally has a limit to its operation.

Total, [18 years].

At this moment, Lixiang remembered that Matthew had said so when she introduced herself—she said that she was [eighteen] years old this year.

"In order to give birth to the human history of this imperfect life, I constantly consume my short life...Perhaps, this is the reason why Leif told Matthew at that time [death is happiness]."

At that moment, some kind of emotion welled up from Tachika's chest.

It is something that is extremely natural, and it is roughly called [maliciousness].

Although there was malice, but——

"Bad civilization, destruction."

The actions of Civilization Destroyer are extremely direct, after all, she is such a heroic spirit.The three-color sword appeared in Altera's hand in an instant, but Tachika grabbed her hand before that.

"...Thank you, Miss Altera. But, no."

Altila looked at Tachika, put away his sword at the end and stretched out his hand to Tachika who lowered his head so that his expression could not be seen.

"Don't destroy it anymore, touch it."

Then he touched Lixiang's head.

"...In any case, what Chaldea committed is an unforgivable sin. Even if we are hated by you and that child, Lixiang, we have no right to complain... I should have told you these things a long time ago. .It's just that I'm a coward who drags it off until it's almost too late."

"...Roman, did you already know these things?"

"No, I only found out when the fusion experiment was about to start. Prior to that, Mash's existence and the Sub-Servant Project were kept secret."

"That's right, Roman, your behavior and heart are not like someone [already known]. Everyone in the young group doesn't know it. It seems that the sister of the operator who knows a little bit is also sincerely caring about the little one." Eggplant—so, who should I hate?"

Lixiang raised his head.

However, what hung on her face was not an angry look, but tears mixed with a wry smile.

While generating malice, the girl also realized another thing.

——This malice has no target to bet on.

"I suddenly regretted it a bit. I didn't do anything when I first came to Chaldea. The people I should hate, and even the people I could vent my anger on, are all dead. Now, who should I hate? "

Girls value the soul and hate helpless misfortune.

So she can't.

It doesn't matter if you vent your anger or make a fool of yourself.It's okay to just spread the misfortune to others regardless of it.

She can't do these things.

"It only became annoying to me after I died... Isn't it too bullying to do so?"

Joan, who was right next to her, reached out and hugged her, just like that night in the French Singularity.

The door of the infirmary opened at this moment, and Da Vinci walked out of the infirmary.

"Romani, Matthew's consciousness seems to be recovering soon."

"I understand, so I'll go and have a look. After all, I'm the attending physician... There's one more thing, although maybe I'm not qualified to say it and it's not necessary for me to say it."

With that said, Roman stood up from his chair,

"Matthew doesn't know the limit of her lifespan. In fact, not many people in Chaldea know it. So, I hope everyone present will not say... I am not standing on the side of the acting commander or her attending physician. The one who said this from the standpoint of Romani Akiman is just asking everyone, please continue to get along with Mash with the same attitude as before."

After saying this, Roman was about to walk to the infirmary.At this moment, Lixiang stopped him.

"Please tell me, who is the fused heroic spirit? Whose power is it that makes Chaldea keep it in his hands even if he pays such a price?"

"...not [a certain person], but [many] heroic spirits. Rather, that power is the core of the [Destiny Summoning System] currently used by Chaldea. The former director of Chaldea [Marisbia] Animsfia] believes that protecting humans requires the power of a large number of heroic spirits, so what he wants is not the power of a single heroic spirit, but the ability to summon heroic spirits.”

"—The shield of Little Eggplant."

"That's not a [shield], it's a [table]—[round table], the [hero gathering place] built by King Arthur. Marisbia processed it and buried it in Matthew's body."

"... Artoria? The person who fused with Little Eggplant..."

"He is one of the Knights of the Round Table, and the holy knight who completed the [Quest for the Holy Grail] alone. The name of that heroic spirit is [Galahad]."

■Chaldea · Infirmary interior

Da Vinci went out to call Roman, but Roman hasn't come in yet.

In the infirmary at this moment, there is only Matthew lying on the hospital bed.

——However, there was actually another person there.

It was a shadow, a shadow that no one could see except the unconscious Matthew.

"Perhaps it is because you are too exposed to the environment of the Age of Gods. Your degradation rate is faster than everyone thinks."

The shadow said to himself.

"If you replace it according to the conventional summoning system, then you are my [Master]. So - Matthew Kyrielight, my Master."

Shadow - Galahad asked the question he didn't expect to be answered.

"At this [final] coming moment, what kind of wish do you want to make to the Holy Grail?"

2. Only the ordinary singularity of D...?
