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

After silently bowing before the grave, Yukinoshita Doku stepped into the castle again, and right at the entrance, she saw another android.

She is a tall woman.

She had long, deep purple hair, a cold and bloodthirsty expression, a lithe and upright figure, and held a broken katana, maintaining a terrifying aura like a volcano.

She is dead.

Even if it's lifelike.

A sliver of light shone through his brow, and faintly, the roar of a bloodthirsty beast echoed before the city gate.

Clearly, this is a swordsmanship master far superior to Horikita Manabu, but he's still the same...

Yukishita pressed himself against the woman, closing his eyes to feel her.

In the lingering will, a dark figure could be vaguely seen slowly approaching, calm and composed. With a single step, it appeared in the purple-haired beauty's field of vision.

The purple-haired beauty only had time to let out an excited roar: "Come and fight!" before unleashing the abilities of a top-tier android. However, before the attack, powerful enough to cleave a castle in two, could be unleashed, a faint ray of light severed the katana, piercing through her brow and extinguishing all her life force.

Completely powerless to fight back...

Even the follower didn't turn around or pause for a moment.

Yukinoshita Doku vaguely sensed something and became even more silent, only to find the female swordsman's identification mark on her right chest.

Android 18, formerly Saeko Busujima.

[At thirteen, he mastered the essence of the Busujima-style swordsmanship; at seventeen, he won the National Youth Cup; at nineteen, he visited renowned masters from various countries, reaching the level of sword intent and earning the title of a modern swordsman; at twenty-three, he entered the world of magic; at twenty-seven, driven by a desire for greater power, he broke through human limitations and joined the Einzbern family, becoming a top-tier character.]

Following that is a series of black stars, clearly indicating some kind of rating.

There's more on the front...

[Ranked second among swordsmen who created humans, possessing fifth-stage power, they are considered to have combat strength sufficient to rival Servants.]

But obviously... no.

From that perspective, people also fell silent without realizing it.

A sense of powerlessness and desolation washed over me. Even such a powerful and talented swordsman, after undergoing the most brutal modifications, ultimately faced his Servant...

It remains as meaningless as weeds.

Having buried the swordsman, Yukinoshita, now even more silent, continued forward alone.

soon.

One after another, the unseeing corpses of artificial humans appeared before people's eyes, and one after another, the tragic battlefields unfolded before them.

The witnesses even saw the girl who had injured Kazuma with her iaido slash and learned her full name.

Katsura words leaf!

She was originally the daughter of a small conglomerate, but lost everything due to the magicians' struggle and wandered aimlessly until she was taken in by Sakayanagi Arisu.

Later, he became the third swordsman android, with all his functions designed entirely for iaido. He possessed the power of a single sword strike, but even Saeko Busujima would die if she took that strike.

At this moment, she was pierced by countless sharp blades and nailed to death in the corridor, her lifeless eyes staring at Yukina no Soto.

Click.

A few specks of light spilled out, and the long, silver spears and swords slowly transformed into dazzling spiritual particles and dissipated.

Along with it, Katsura Kotonoha's shattered body also vanished.

With a final, desperate strike, she had burned everything away, but in the blink of an eye, she died on the spot, killed by that follower in a single blow—it was all meaningless.

No.....

"...is meaningful."

Finally, she walked out of the long corridor and arrived at the castle hall. Looking at the figure waiting for her at the end of the steps, with a tiny tear in the sleeve of her clothes, Yukishita murmured to herself.

At the end of the steps.

The tall figure slowly turned around and looked at Yukinoshita Doku who had arrived: "You're too late, Yukinoshita Doku."

"Did you do all of this?"

Yukinoshita Totsuka's voice trembled slightly: "Yukinoshita Totsuka, the other me."

Volume 1: Chapter 138 Roser: Goddess, wanna have some popcorn?

With her long, pale hair cascading down, the female servant raised an eyebrow: "Oh, so you noticed?"

"How could it not be noticed? That colored gemstone on the back of your hand was left behind when Xiangzi saved you, right? And..."

Yukinoshita pursed her lips: "...There may be two gems, the moves may be similar, and the styles may be alike, but how can sword intent be exactly the same?"

Unlike male Red A, her black and white blades are entirely composed of her will.

In other words, it was the light of her soul.

People may look alike, and even have the same genes, but how can a person's heart be the same?

Even the same person can become different depending on their experiences and life path.

Heroic Spirits do not have the concept of time, or rather, they are beings that transcend time and space.

Heroic spirits, whether from the past, present, or some possibility in the future, are all treated equally.

therefore......

When Archer used those black and white blades, she understood. No matter how unbelievable it seemed, Tohsaka Shoko's Servant, Archer, was her.

The future her, the her who becomes a heroic spirit...

"Why....."

Yukinoshita's usually calm face finally revealed a hint of pain: "Haven't you always been helping us, helping others?"

Although he seems to be slacking off, isn't the Servant in front of us always helping others and deliberately avoiding crowds during battle?

Why kill so many people?

Even if they are artificial humans, weren't they once human beings, with a sense of self and emotions?

Thinking of the androids who surpassed their own limits to protect others, Yukinoshita asked herself in anguish.

"Help? Your hypocritical face is disgusting and makes me want to vomit."

The female spirit shook her head helplessly: "We're all the same person, so there's no need to pretend, right?"

Tower, tower, tower...

With heavy footsteps, the female spirit emerged completely from the darkness, revealing a heroic face that was hard to reconcile with Yukinoshita Tomokazu.

More resilient, more indifferent, more powerful, and more ruthless.

She looked at Yukinoshita Doku with disgust: "I'm telling you, are you still hypnotizing yourself?"

"Ah, I want to make it so that no one has to shed a tear, so that everyone can have a happy reunion, so that I can become a champion of justice or something like that?"

"Well~ it's not because of jealousy. I'm jealous of Yukino Yukinoshita's happiness. Tsk tsk, that's so enviable. Someone who's so painful and numb, just like you, can actually show such a happy smile..."

"How hypocritical! It's you who's always been the one seeking redemption, the one who wants to be saved, isn't it?"

"The death of a prop like a pitiful, fake android is too ugly, Yukinoshita Toku."

Yukinoshita bit her lip: "They are not just androids, they are 'humans' with emotions and a sense of self!!"

"Humans? So what?"

Click.

Stepping on the head of a red-eyed maid and crushing it, the female hero spirit helplessly spread her hands: "I thought you would be different from me, so I wanted to spare your life and carry out the mission first. Tsk, but it's still the same as before..."

"...It's because it wasn't just Shoko Tohsaka who saved me..."

Yukinoshita remained silent, then slowly raised her head: "...But there was also him, wasn't there? When you were critically injured and on the verge of death, he didn't even glance at you?"

The female spirit paused for a moment.

Both of them knew who they were talking about.

"So... you're actually a little jealous? Jealous that I grabbed Bai Li's outstretched hand, even though we're the same person..."

"On her own," she said softly under the snow.

"what?"

The female heroic spirit gave a strange smile and shook her head: "Was I that stupid back then? I honestly don't remember at all. Hilarious, hahaha..."

She covered her face and chuckled softly before slowly raising her head. Her crimson eyes gradually faded, turning into the same deep blue. Her smile vanished, and she looked at Yukinoshita Doku expressionlessly: "So, Yukinoshita Doku, you really didn't notice? That guy's problem?"

Yukinoshita remained silent.

How could I not have noticed...?

From childhood to adulthood, that guy has never hidden himself; he doesn't act like a teenager at all, acting freely according to his own will.

Hang the capitalists you don't like, kill the murderers, and turn them into statues with a bizarre aesthetic.

She was probably ten or eleven years old at the time. That guy took her and Kurumi and ran around to cities like Nara, Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo, saying that his name was Shimura Danzo and their names were Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi, etc.

They recklessly and arbitrarily destroy order, sometimes just as a simple prank, and sometimes they even kill thousands of people in a criminal organization.

Ten years old, thousands of people.

And that knowledge, which came from who knows where, easily overturned the magic world, earning him the reputation of a great man who propelled the magic world forward for three hundred years.

But the guy laughed maliciously: Your great man will be sending you off to your funeral.

How could there be no problem? How could we not notice it?

He remained silent beneath the snow.

"I told you, I am not a glorious being like a Heroic Spirit, but just an unknown person."

Ignoring her silence, the female Heroic Spirit asked herself, "So, how did I become a Heroic Spirit? The answer is simple: by making a pact with the Counter Force and becoming its tool for saving... the world."

She chuckled and kicked at the fragments of the android: "A tool isn't something to be envied, it's a puppet with absolutely no autonomy."

"Therefore... even with this gem as a medium, how could I, as the guardian, be summoned so easily? It's just a defensive mechanism of the Counter Force sensing some kind of crisis."

In other words... this era carries a danger capable of destroying the world, or rather, destroying humanity...

"impossible!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yukinoshita Doku abruptly interrupted her, firmly stating, "It's definitely not Hakurei. I believe him."

The female servant laughed, her laughter shaking her head: "You believe it? Then how do you know who I'm talking about before I even say it?"

"He, oh, or His Majesty the King of Cinder? Or the god Sama? Hey, is His name really Bai Li? How many years has He lived? Judging from those countless complex techniques and stories, He must have been to at least hundreds of worlds, right?"

"What does this have to do with the Holy Grail War from eight years ago? What does it have to do with Kurumi Tohsaka?"

The female heroic spirit's series of questions left Yukinoshita Doku pale-faced.

From various perspectives.

The witnesses also fell silent.

The black cat hesitated for a moment before saying, "So they already had suspicions?"

"Nonsense, Lezi Shen didn't even try to hide it, okay? He was all over the place, like, 'Guess whatever you want, and if you dare to expose me, then you're good enough.'"

Xiao Tongtong rolled her eyes.

This is just like a ghost story where monsters disguise themselves as your friends and family and eat people in the middle of the night.

Pretending not to know is fine, but once exposed, the other party might just stop pretending and start indiscriminately attacking people.

Not entirely accurate, but that's roughly the idea.

Sometimes playing dumb is the best approach.

"So, Shoko Tohsaka is also pretending to be stupid?"

Asuna frowned.

"No, she's really stupid."

Black Cat's Commentary.

Female Red A has defected, while she's still catching up on sleep. It's hilarious.
