I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

Reinhard was in even greater pain.

Yes, to him he was just a familiar person, but to the other person he was a friend of more than 20 years, a partner who had been through life and death together and entrusted his back to him.

This woman will only suffer more.

A strong sense of justice and responsibility, coupled with excessive kindness, led Reinhard to attribute everything to himself.

Now he is no longer dejected because he is too powerful to understand the feeling of "failure".

Because he has already experienced "weakness" and "despair"...

That man.

That man in golden armor, like a tyrannical ruler ravaging the earth...

As if seeing through his true nature at a glance, he looked down at him with interest: "A knight among knights, too powerful and far removed from the mortal world, unable to understand 'weakness' and 'despair,' and therefore yearning for ordinariness?"

Then kneel down and thank this king for his grace, you mongrel! This king will bestow upon you the most desired "weakness" and despair...

Haha, what a funny clown!

The golden king laughed loudly, and golden ripples spread across the void like wings hanging from the sky.

light.

The dazzling, brilliant golden light, like the sun's rays, wantonly divided the heavens and earth, cutting and crushing everything in its path.

It was almost like his nemesis, specifically targeting and crushing all the blessings bestowed upon him by the world.

"Is that... a Noble Phantasm?"

Each one was no less powerful than his Dragon Sword, and some even contained divine weapons of unknown origin.

At that speed, there was no time to react; he was already covered in blood and collapsed in a pool of blood.

There are no more phoenixes.

Because even the Phoenix's blessing has been destroyed.

(The prototype of the Harpe, the undead weapon wielded by Lancer-class Medusa Lily in Gate of Babylon.)

That thing called a Noble Phantasm possesses an absoluteness far exceeding his protection.

That despair, that feeling of powerlessness...

Is this the ordinary life he has always longed for?

Are ordinary people always in this state of powerlessness and despair?

pain.

Blame yourself.

How wonderful it would be if I could receive more blessings and become more powerful in my own world.

Perhaps then we wouldn't be so powerless, and perhaps we could save Curaçao.

I think of that part-time soldier who cherished his life and loved life.

Pain and confusion filled his mind.

The deep-rooted imprint of the past clashes fiercely with the desire of the weak to be strong.

"Don't blame yourself so much. That is Gilgamesh, the oldest hero-king, the pinnacle among Servants."

The nun looked at him with concern and comforted him, "You are really strong and capable as an ordinary person. This is not your responsibility."

Akane Minagawa's tone was full of care and encouragement, making anyone feel that she was a trustworthy woman.

But these words were like a knife, piercing Reinhard's bleeding heart.

...

"It was intentional, this woman definitely did it on purpose. I think I just saw her smile."

From various angles, a group of people were arguing heatedly.

"Bullshit, the little angel always has a comforting smile, and it is not allowed to insult the little angel Minagawa."

A group of people who felt they had seen a white moonlight glared angrily.

"What the hell? You're at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and you've already had several boyfriends."

The girl on the other side was deeply hurt.

This bitch is definitely playing with her knight god.

"Too little, too little."

Someone who came from Rosser's side also complained, "She's over thirty, Minagawa Akane."

He then explained the information he had seen earlier and concluded, "This woman is probably planning something. I suspect that the Golden Servant is related to her."

But many people still refuse to believe it.

Akane Minagawa is not the kind of innocent and naive girl; rather, she seems to have become everyone's ideal woman.

She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she possessed a captivating charm that made men fall for her.

Men are creatures who separate physical desires from emotions; taking a concubine is considered taking sexual favors.

The feeling Minagawa Akane evoked in them was that of the girl they longed for but could not have in their youth.

It's a dream, the dream that's out of reach in your heart.

Iron-Blooded Marquis gave it a thumbs up.

...

"Don't worry, rest. The Holy Grail War is not something ordinary people can participate in..."

As if afraid of touching the other party's pride, Minagawa Akane quickly added, "Of course, it's not that Mr. Reinhard is weak. You are already very strong, far stronger than me."

Perhaps because he had spent so long listening to others as a priest, he himself was not very good at expressing himself.

Akane Minagawa possesses a pure and innocent charm, reminiscent of a girl next door.

It deeply touched the hearts of many people.

However, Reinhard didn't seem to care much, and gave a bitter smile: "Weak... that's a really unfamiliar word."

He shook his head: "Don't worry about it too much, I'm not that fragile..."

"He's just interested in Curaçao, isn't he?"

Akane Minagawa reassured her, "At least as the church's overseer, I haven't found any Servants leaving. Curaçao's life is at least not in danger right now."

this moment.

Even Reinhard felt that this woman could understand his feelings.

Just as Minagawa Akane's lips curled slightly, as if she was about to say something...

suddenly.

The two of them looked up at the window at the same time.

"That is....."

"A Servant is challenging me to a duel?"

Reinhard stared blankly into the distance.

That overwhelming aura, so powerful it seems to invade reality with its materiality, can only come from a Servant, right?

suddenly.

A touch of coolness touched his forehead.

It's Ms. Minagawa.

"Relax, don't be resentful. Mr. Reinhard is not yet an adult, is he? I believe that in the future, Mr. Reinhard will create great achievements worthy of being recorded in human history and become a heroic spirit."

Akane Minagawa blinked like a young girl, then waved and walked out with her hands behind her back.

“However, as the overseer of the church, I must leave now. Well then, excuse me, I'll come see you again next time, Mr. Reinhard.”

Reinhard stared blankly at the woman's retreating figure.

This was the first time anyone had been so close to him.

As a god-like being who received blessings at the age of five, all he could receive from childhood was respect, fear, awe, and love.

Nobody treated him like a person, an ordinary person.

It's more like it's being worshipped as a symbol, a deity, or a protector.

This is the first time I've been comforted like an older sister to a naughty little brother.

"It's all over, Reinhard has been pried open."

From the perspective of.

A group of people were crying out in despair.

"Sword Saint? He's just an innocent young man."

"He's only nineteen, okay? And that woman is terrifying. She figured out Reinhard's personality and targeted him specifically."

The black cat (Ruri Gokou) felt a little uneasy.

A romance novelist who has been single for over twenty years also offered a serious analysis:

"The difficulty in winning over Reinhard is never his personality or anything like that."

Rather, it was his strength, and the extreme sense of responsibility and justice that arose from that strength.

This kind of person is no longer human, but a god. Gods do not allow humans to fall in love.

Therefore, in order to capture Reinhard and make him one's own dog, one must smash his shrine and demote him from a god to a human.

If he is no longer a god, then Reinhard is just a difficult, ordinary nineteen-year-old boy.

I think the Gold King was probably hired by that woman.

"The problem is, what's the point?"

......

I stepped out of the room.

Akane Minagawa's smile immediately faded.

This challenge reminded her of unpleasant memories.

Is that the thing?

Who knows if that thing is an evil god, the embers of some kind of world's death, or some kind of composite of things?

Probably not.

The Fourth Holy Grail War has long since ended. Without his anchor in the present world, he should have been expelled from the world by the Counter Force.

She felt a vague sense of unease and had absolutely no desire to go to the scene.

"Still so boring, Akane~"

Brilliant golden particles gathered from the void, coalescing into a handsome man in magnificent golden armor, who leaned against a pillar with his arms crossed.

"Is it to fill the void in her heart, or to extract power from that man?"

If it's the latter, I'll be so bored I'll want to kill you~

The voice is flat.

It's not a warning, just a statement.

"Just curious."

Akane Minagawa smiled and said, "After all, he is a true knight, a rare find in modern times."

She knew, of course, that the golden king was not joking.

After all, daring to instruct the king is a grave crime. If it brings pleasure to the monarch, then so be it; if not, then it is a capital offense.

The conversation turned.

She suddenly said, "You sensed that aura too, didn't you? Doesn't the King above the King intend to punish these arrogant and petty people?"
