I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

The second spirit, Honjo Nia, disappeared when Mio's history was edited by Li Lin, and the only thing left is Honjo Nia, a human being and an ordinary manga artist.

For Li Lin, everything in the past, the friends from the past, really only exist in memories.

Chapter 49: The Battle Begins

Magicians are pretty boring creatures.

Or maybe it could be said that the magicians of the Thousand Worlds Tree are like this. Most of them either stay indoors and become autistic patients, or they talk nonsense all day long. Yes, the dragon I'm talking about is the masked Caster.

Although he and Kiryu Battle Rabbit have the same temperament as researchers, Ryuga instinctively looks down on the other party. He always feels that the so-called "original giant" is quite dangerous and will endanger the world's research. Well, that is something even more yabeei than Dangerous Trigger.

——Who knows, we might end up becoming enemies.

Long I couldn't help but think so. After all, most of the comics where people tinker with large drones lose control. Moreover, this person is sneaky and he can't even trust people who don't even show their faces to their companions.

Even if the other person looks as ugly as an ancient god, this muscular idiot will probably just complain a few words and then accept the fact calmly, well... the premise is that the two of them get along well.

Sitting alone in the empty restaurant, Longwo was surrounded by plates.

Although he didn't know why his body had undergone such miraculous changes after coming to this world, all he understood was that this body could turn into a "ghost" and pass through walls at will, and that he would not feel bloated no matter how much he ate.

When Ryuga tried to talk to his own Master, Gold, he got nothing but cold looks and snorts. It seemed that he was still sulking because of Ryuga's punch that almost broke his nose.

Finally, I, who was bored, had no choice but to choose this only pastime.

--eat.

Anyway, the restaurant at Qianjieshu doesn't charge money, so there isn't any big problem except that the food tastes bad and doesn't quite suit his taste as a Japanese.

"Really? How come there's no TV in this magician's house?"

While muttering to himself, Long I stuffed the last piece of steak on the plate into my mouth, and at this moment, a white figure walked into the restaurant.

Pink hair, heterochromatic eyes, a white dress, and extremely conspicuous horns on her head.

"Ah... I remember you. I think your name was Ber... B something?"

Halfway through the sentence, like a rifle that has been out of repair for a long time and lacks maintenance, my muscular idiot named Wanzhanglong jammed.

"Well......"

Frankenstein couldn't help but frown when she heard that Long couldn't even pronounce his own class, but she surprisingly didn't feel angry at the muscular idiot who was struggling with English words with a confused look on his face.

Unlike a small number of Berserkers who have poor brain function and cannot think normally, Frankenstein has difficulty speaking due to the limitations of his class, but his thinking is no different from that of a normal Servant.

She could see that Saber, also known as Manjolong, was not making fun of her, but was really bad at English.

Seeing this, even Frankenstein, the Berserker, couldn't help but drop his arms and sigh helplessly.

She finally saw what a real fool was.

At the same time, Frankenstein expressed deep sympathy for Manjo Ryuga's parents and friends in his "previous life".

However, she is not annoying, because I, the dragon, do not dislike her as a man-made monster. I am the fifth person who does not dislike her, besides Frankenstein's master, Colles... huh? Who are the second, third, and fourth... to be honest. Frankenstein is also a little unclear, the only thing he can remember is the pink and orange hair color.

But, rather than saying that I don't despise you, it's better to say that I, Wanzhanglong, who can almost be equated with single-celled organisms, probably don't even know the legend of Frankenstein.

In the end, Ryuga and Frankenstein still didn't have any intersection, or in other words, this Berserker lady unilaterally disliked Ryuga's intelligence. After glaring at Ryuga with a look of mental retardation, she left the restaurant pushing the dining cart to get dinner for her master.

"B...Ber...serker! Yes, you should call it...Hey, where is the person?"

After racking my brains for a long time, I finally came up with the answer and raised my head, but Frankenstein had disappeared.

......

sunset.

Looking ahead, the golden clouds at the end of the skyline seemed to be slowly burning.

Sitting in a coffee shop on the street, Li Lin said with emotion:

"The streets are very quiet today."

The temperature of hand-brewed coffee is just right. The light brown coffee liquid swirls in the cup with the milk under the stirring of the spoon, which is very beautiful.

There were few pedestrians on the street. It seemed that because of Jack the Ripper's actions, the residents of this city had reached a consensus that they must not go out at night. Even if Li Lin eliminated Jack and Liudao Lingxia, I'm afraid that the residual heat of this horror would linger for a long time before it dissipated.

But it’s better this way, so that no innocent passers-by will be dragged into the Holy Grail War.

"Hmm...Player, I still can't figure it out."

Nero, who hated the bitter taste of coffee, sipped the hot milk and gave Li Lin a questioning look.

"...What?"

"I'm asking about the android from before, and why the player saved him."

"Huh? Didn't I say that? I won't refuse to lend a helping hand to someone in trouble. This is what one of my seniors taught me. Besides, I'm not being gentle, I just hate seeing tragedy happen before my eyes... I've seen it with my own eyes, a person jumping off a building roof. But, apart from me, no one else called the emergency number. They just took pictures and watched indifferently."

Indifference is the best catalyst and breeding ground for evil.

"From that time on, I wondered if she had called the relevant department before she jumped and someone had gently advised her, would she have survived?"

Slowly stirring the liquid in the cup, the pink-haired girl gave the Roman emperor a slightly regretful, yet tender smile.

"I will... no, I am willing to lend a helping hand to all those who are in trouble and desperate situations. Even if the process and method are criticized, I don't care. Even if I am regarded as a destroyer of the world, I will smile and move forward."

“Even if you don’t understand?”

"Well, even if no one understands. After all... I'm Kamen Rider."

While the two were talking, a huge sky garden appeared in the sky without warning and flew straight towards the Thousand Worlds Tree Castle. Li Lin and Nero who were sitting in the coffee shop also saw this scene.

Li Lin drank the coffee in the cup.

"The battle is about to begin, Nero, are you ready?"

Chapter 50: Encounter between God and Saint

"No matter which world it is, the nature of war has never changed."

Looking into the distance, the white smoke exhaled by Li Lin gradually blended into the night.

On the battlefield of the Holy Grail War, countless androids fought with the Dragon Fang Soldiers and Skeleton Soldiers. A complete android at the last moment turned into a pool of blood and minced meat at the next moment, and such scenes were repeated continuously on the battlefield.

Everyone was trying their best to use all their strength to tear apart the opponent's body, no matter if it was flesh and blood or steel and iron bones, and the corpses of both sides were increasing rapidly.

But these are all okay. The most exaggerated thing is that Achilles, riding his own treasure, the undead chariot, speeding on the battlefield, constantly harvesting lives, just like cutting leeks, but the scene is a little bloody. It can be said that on the road he passed, the skeletons and artificial people were crushed into an indescribable thing without distinguishing between enemies and friends.

They are all consumables anyway, so what does it matter if they hurt their teammates or not?

"It's a really good meat grinder. It should be shown to those keyboard warriors who are always quarreling and starting wars on the Internet."

Although Li Lin nominally belongs to the Clock Tower side, in this Holy Grail War, there are essentially only three types of people.

Chikaiju's people, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's people, and the lone wolves like Shishijie and Li Lin... Of course, neither she nor Shishijie and Shishili have prosthetic arms, let alone a Shichiro who speaks like a president to deal with.

"War? I don't hate it, but I don't like it either."

Ignoring Li Lin who was speaking "slang" that he couldn't understand, Nero's ordinary clothes turned into a "mythical ceremonial costume" covered with metal on the surface.

Being an emperor meant facing war, especially in Rome. Nero, who was just an ordinary man during his lifetime, could kill a lion with his bare hands in the Colosseum. What about others? The Romans, who regarded going to the battlefield and winning military honors as the highest honor in life, could not resist war.

"Well... Only lunatics like war. But humans often fail to understand each other. Initially, it was because of misunderstandings due to language barriers, but most of the time it was because of greed... It's not that I can't understand Amakusa's thoughts."

Although he is a shady person, he is a kind person. Besides, whether Shiro's actions are evil or not will be a controversial point. Because it can also be said that he is providing some guidance to a shortcut to a place that will be reached one day.

However, on the other hand, he is undoubtedly evil. Because he does not save people one by one, but only intends to save the "human race". Li Lin's idea of ​​giving humans possibilities, watching quietly at the end of the universe, and singing a song of blessing for humans is completely contrary to her.

"But even if people and the world are so cruel and ugly, we still have to accept it. After all, war has promoted human progress and development in a certain sense. For example, modern technologies were first used in the military and then for civilian use."

"What are you going to do next, player?"

"We will split up. You go and muddy the waters of this war as much as possible. While ensuring that the black side suffers as little damage as possible, don't let the red side gain an advantage. If necessary, you can accidentally "strike" my teammates."

It's not okay to let Black gain an advantage, and it's even worse to help Amakusa. Nero can only play the role of a troublemaker on the battlefield. The only shortcoming is that the emperor can't use light cannons, which is very regrettable.

Li Lin took out a notebook from her bosom and flipped through it for a while. Under Nero's expectant gaze, Li Lin stared at her scribbled notes. She was a little confused about the plan she wrote before the war. However, the master who refused to admit that she was infected by the Erya virus in front of Nero was too embarrassed to tell the truth, so she could only put the notebook back into her pocket without making a sound.

"I'm going to steal a house. I can still carry away a mere Holy Grail." (Physics)

"Carry it away..."

Recalling how his own Master almost tore Black Saber apart with his bare hands, Nero nodded in disbelief.

Currently, the red and black sides are busy fighting each other. As the third party in this Holy Grail War, there is nothing wrong with Li Lin taking advantage of the empty defense force behind the Thousand Worlds Tree to steal the home and crystal.

At this moment, when Li Lin was talking with Nero, Achilles was madly cutting leeks on the battlefield at lightning speed, just like using love-generated garbage operations to persecute innocent leek players.

Lancer Vlad III, relying on the local bonus of Romania, fought hard with the Son of the Sun God despite being a ghost general who only protected his country.

Frankenstein and the Smiling Boy who was captured by the black team and signed a new contract were given the task of clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers. Spartacus was decisive and very much in line with the identity of a berserker. He picked up his weapon without any objection and swung it towards the red team.

Astolfo was asked to make amends for his crime under the pretext of meritorious service, and was dispatched as the only flying unit of the Black side to investigate the Hanging Gardens, while Semiramis simply sent out some dragon-winged soldiers to stop him in mid-air.

At this moment, Mordred, who seemed to be possessed by the God of Cars of Akina Mountain and Irisviel, finally arrived at the battlefield. Mordred, who had the demeanor of a female driver, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and knocked away countless androids and dragon teeth soldiers, turning the originally brand new car into a "battle-hardened" look.

As soon as she parked the car, Shizi Jiejieli, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kicked open the door, staggered out of the car, held onto the door and began to vomit.

As he was lost and was struggling over whether to ask an artificial human for directions, Wanzhang Longwo heard the brake sound and raised his head at the right moment, his eyes meeting Longwo's. Then, Ahfu, who was shot down by the empress's magic cannon, fell between the two of them.

"Hey, Saber, what a coincidence." The dusty pink-haired cute girl spat out the sand in her mouth and waved at Ryuga.

"..."

"..."

The three servants stared at each other for a few seconds on the battlefield with the sound of Lion's vomiting as the background sound. Mordred, realizing that the other party was an enemy, summoned out his greatsword and armor.

......

at the same time.

In the forest shrouded in dusk, Li Lin, who was on his way, noticed something in the forest. He couldn't help but stop and looked over there vigilantly.

"I have been waiting for you, student of El-Melloi II."

A young man with white hair and dark skin in a red coat slowly walked out from the depths of the woods.

——Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

Chapter 51 You may not believe it, but I am your Lord

"I have been waiting for you, student of El-Melloi II."

A priest with red clothes, white hair and black skin, who looks like a righteous friend, slowly walks out of the woods. Although he looks like a member of the Emiya family, which is full of heroes, he is actually Amakusa Shiro Tokisada!

"Hey, Father. What can I do for you? If you want to investigate the fact that I called you twice, I am willing to apologize. I swear in the name of God."

"No, there's no need for that. I know that not all magicians like to gather in groups. It's not uncommon for magicians to be independent and dislike group activities. Don't be nervous. I just want to confirm something with you. I mean no harm."

Amakusa Shiro had a well-behaved and kind smile on his face, and he looked just like a real, dedicated priest.

but......

That couldn't fool Li Lin, an experienced driver.

If we talk about the ability to read people's expressions, apart from diplomats, the only people who are proficient in this are psychologists and con men. In fact, every con man with superb deception skills is a psychologist who is good at understanding human psychology and expressions.

Systematic research analyzes the essence of human beings, and the achievements of science in certain areas can indeed better help ordinary people master the tips of survival.

Studies have shown that the more popular people are, the more likely they are to lie. They are good at hiding their emotions and that is why they are popular.

Micro-expressions will always unconsciously reveal one's inner thoughts, making lies traceable, which is also a common characteristic of human beings.

The man, Amakusa Shiro, hated Li Lin. Usually, the expression of disgust includes sniffing, raising the upper lip, drooping eyebrows, and squinting. Tianchao fully meets all the above characteristics. Although Li Lin did not know the source of this hatred, she knew from the beginning that in the Holy Grail War, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and she were out-and-out enemies.

"Li Lin is an Asian girl taken in by El-Melloi II in 2002. Two months after being taken in, she entered the Clock Tower to study. A year later, she showed outstanding talent in magic and was given a position after completing and publishing a thesis on magic on her own."

"According to the investigation of the intelligence department of the Holy Church, as well as the ingredients and names she buys on a daily basis, she is most likely a mixed-race child of Japanese and Chinese descent."

"Then, we sent people to investigate in the Far East and in Shenzhou, where the church could not establish a base. We have come to the conclusion that there is no such person."

Tiancao took out a document from his arms calmly, glanced at the contents, and after confirming that he had not taken the wrong impromptu script by Shakespeare, he began to read the results of the investigation into Li Lin's identity.

"Oh? Father, what do you want to say? I remember that clergymen are not allowed to get married, right? It's really hard for me to investigate you so carefully. Do you want to pursue me? Oh no, that won't work. I don't like men."
