"Don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful. If you push me too far, I'm capable of anything." Yamabuki Hanajin stared at the loli in front of her.
How can I make the little girl in front of me cry?
Illya stared at Yamabuki Hanajin: "Judging from the aura on you, you must be a Heroic Spirit, right? Who is your master? If you tell me, I might spare your life."
Yamabuki Hanajin looked at her hands. "I'm a Heroic Spirit today?"
So who am I today?
Yamabuki Hanakami immediately opened today's system panel.
Name: Yamabuki Hanajiki (Chloe von Einzbern/Kuro)
Gender: Unknown (Female Heroic Spirit, cute loli)
Ability: An everlasting ahoge (an essential skill for an archer).
Magic: Projection magic, which can create replicas of various magical artifacts.
Comment: As a loli, being cute is enough.
After looking at her system dashboard for the day, Yamabuki Hanakami was at a loss for words.
Turns out I've turned into Little Black today.
But since I am a Heroic Spirit, participating in the Holy Grail War shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you that I am your biological sister, Ilya, sharing the same parents. Come and snuggle in your sister's arms!" Yamabuki Hanajin opened her arms.
Ilya tilted her head, momentarily at a loss for words. Why didn't I know I had a biological older sister? Helpless, Ilya could only turn her gaze to her two maids. "Did you know I had a sister?"
The two maids shook their heads vigorously.
"My lovely little sister! Let me help you get the Holy Grail. Watch me slay Gilgamesh and all that." Yamabuki Hanajin stroked Illya's head, looking smug.
I knew the Holy Grail War was incredibly cruel; aside from Kirei Kotomine, the tax evader, there were almost no winners in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
After Kiritsugu Emiya realized the Holy Grail's corrupted nature, he had Saber cut it down with a single blow. Not fun? Then let's not play around!
Ilya stared at Yamabuki Hanajin.
I suddenly have an older sister, who is also a Heroic Spirit. This means I have a great chance of winning this Holy Grail War, since Basaka is invincible.
In the main storyline, Illya is actually nineteen years old, older than Shirou Emiya, and is his older sister.
Although she looks cute, she is very mature.
Just as Ilya was figuring out how to maximize her profits, her phone rang on her bedside table.
When I opened the phone, I was surprised to find that it was Father Kirei Kotomine from the church on the other end.
"Is this Ilya? I have something very important to tell you. The rules of the Holy Grail War have been changed. In order to avoid mass casualties, we have carried out a complete reform for the Fifth Holy Grail War. By the way, the Church has also given the Holy Grail War a new name, called... Fantasy Carnival."
Chapter 685 (Main Text 686) Cú Chulainn, you must live!
As is well known, the Holy Grail War has many side stories.
One of the side quests features a scene where the author forgot to take his medicine (or perhaps Gen Urobuchi was killed by someone), resulting in various classic moments, such as the blue spearman's spinning charge.
This is the famous Fantasy Carnival.
The main thing is to be happy, and having fun is secondary.
System, are you kidding me?
I thought I had arrived at the main Fate storyline, but you dumped me in an official, drug-taking time? Do you know how brutal Carnival is? You know Cú Chulainn, right? The legendary hero, whose spear of death was unstoppable, yet even such a figure died in Carnival.
Look at me? I'm just a little girl, pitiful, weak, and helpless. How could you bear to throw me into the Fantasy Carnival?
Alright, that's enough rant time. Let's mourn Cú Chulainn together. Although Cú Chulainn is dead, the big dog is the only victim in Carnival Phantasm.
As long as I'm not the victim, that's fine.
Ilya's expression was very serious. She hadn't expected that the rules of the Holy Grail War would be changed, despite her ten years of hard work preparing for it.
Do you know how I've gotten through these past ten years? Do you know?
"Let's go, to the scene." Ilya grabbed Yamabuki Hanajin and, with the Berserker, arrived at the Fantasy Carnival scene as quickly as possible.
When the two of them arrived, they were surprised to find that all the other contestants had already arrived.
Yamabuki Hanajin was quite an eye-opener, as were the chef and diners: Emiya Shirou and Saber.
The "Husband and Wife in Harmony" pairing: Rin Tohsaka and A.
The pair who can't stand each other: Shinji Matou and Medusa.
The eternally true love couple: Soichiro Kuzuki and Medea.
The "Joyful + Unlucky" group: Kirei Kotomine and Cú Chulainn the Great.
The Lolita-Middle-Aged Man Group: Ilya and the Berserker.
By the way, where are the assassins? How can you play the game without assassins?
Sasaki Kojiro is guarding the gate and can't come.
"Hahaha! Heaven is on my side! I am the assassin of this version! Haven't you heard of the marksman assassin?" Yamabuki Hanajin laughed wildly.
The Holy Grail is mine. Let's not worry about what I'll do with it after I get it; I'll just get it first.
There are two hosts for Fantasy Fever: one is the tax evader, Kirei Nimine, and the other is Illya.
The two of them already knew the rules of the Fantasy Carnival.
"Everyone, welcome to the Fantasy Carnival. As you all know, the Holy Grail War must be conducted in secret, so this Holy Grail War cannot be known to outsiders, right, audience?" Ilya pointed her microphone at the sea of people in the audience.
The audience cheered along.
Shirou Emiya's mind was a little blank: "The Holy Grail War is to be conducted in secret?"
"correct."
"Then why are there so many spectators?"
"..." The Saber King was also confused about what had happened.
"In short, to avoid bloodshed, the Fifth Holy Grail War must be conducted through a sporting game. Peace is advocated in this era, and harmony is of utmost importance. Alright, let's start drawing lots now. What kind of game should we hold?" Illya began drawing lots in a cute and charming manner.
Everyone held their breath.
Ilya eventually drew a wooden stick.
“Game [Blackbeard].” Ilya held up the slip of paper in her hand.
"This is a very simple game. One of the Heroic Spirits goes into the barrel, and the other six Heroic Spirits use weapons to pierce through the barrel. If the Heroic Spirit in the barrel comes down after one round, congratulations to him for scoring a point," Ilya said loudly.
Kirei Kotomine was also drawing lots nearby: "Let me see who will be the brave one to enter the barrel."
Cú Chulainn laughed wildly, "It can't be me, it can't be me! Do you know how high my luck stat is? Have you heard of Zhao Zilong of Changshan? He's also a spearman. The combined luck stat of everyone here isn't as high as Zhao Zilong's."
We're all spearmen, how could my luck stat be low?
It couldn't be me, it absolutely couldn't be me.
"Congratulations to Cú Chulainn on becoming a warrior!" Kirei Kotomine raised the wooden skewer in his hand.
"Why me? We're partners, how can you be so heartless? Wait, what's with that faint smile on your face? Why are you smiling so happily?" Cú Chulainn turned around stiffly and found the other Heroic Spirits sharpening their swords.
"Gentlemen, don't be so ruthless. No matter what, we're all in the same boat, all fighting for the Holy Grail War. What do you mean by sharpening your knives?" Cú Chulainn trembled.
Emiya Shirou was using a whetstone he usually used to sharpen his kitchen knives to sharpen Saber's Excalibur.
Red A meticulously pounded against Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, one stroke at a time.
Yamabuki Hanajin chuckled coldly from the side, "You people are too naive. Do you even know what a nuclear bomb sword immortal is?"
I'll just attach a small nuclear bomb to the arrow in a bit, and I don't believe it won't kill the big dog.
According to the rules, whoever kills the big dog gets a point.
"Help! You bunch of people are so cruel, I won't let you get away with this! I don't want to go into the barrel anymore! I'm not playing anymore, I'm not participating in this Holy Grail War!" the big dog cried out pitifully.
Kirei Kotomine grinned sinisterly, rolled up his sleeve, and revealed a long row of incantations on his arm.
"I command you with a spell to get into the barrel. Why am I suddenly so happy at the thought of this disobedient Heroic Spirit being hacked to pieces? Hehehe!" Kirei Kotomine couldn't have been happier at this moment.
"There's something fishy going on here! There's definitely something fishy going on! I'm not playing anymore! Let me go!" The big dog was still struggling.
Medea said sweetly to Souichirou, "Lord Souichirou, I hate these kinds of fighting games the most. I'm a girl..."
Kuzuki Souichirou calmly said, "You look beautiful even when you're trying your best."
Such a simple sentence is worth more than a thousand words.
Medea looked at Souichirou with excitement, then turned her head and immediately put on her cloak, exuding a sinister aura: "Cú Chulainn, for my love, I will cut your throat with one stroke, and I won't let you suffer too much."
Cú Chulainn stared blankly ahead. He couldn't cry, he absolutely couldn't cry. Who was he? A legendary hero, what storms hadn't he weathered? He couldn't cry.
But... but didn't the organizers realize that something was off about the atmosphere?
"Medusa, we must get the Holy Grail. Let me think, what wish should I make after I get the Holy Grail?" Shinji Matou was still daydreaming.
Medusa stared coldly at Shinji Matou with the back of her head.
Those who bullied Sakura were all killed.
And so, the first battle of the Fantasy Carnival Holy Grail War officially began.
Who will be the first to stab us in the back?
Amidst Cú Chulainn's despairing gaze, Artoria Pendragon approached, carrying her greatsword.
"Noble Phantasm Unleashed, Excalibur!"
"No!!!"
Chapter 686 (Main Text 687) I reported Saber, and she did what I wanted to do!
"Noble Phantasm Unleashed, Excalibur!"
Golden light erupted from Excalibur, and the roaring light coalesced into a greatsword.
The flowing light illuminated everyone's eyes.
"Help! You're cheating!" Cú Chulainn cried out pitifully.
Red A and Yamabuki Hanajin next to him were biting their thumbs at the same time.
Oh no, the code to victory has been discovered by Saber.
"boom!!!"
Half of the scene was blasted away by Excalibur.
The scene was spectacular; the faces of the spectators turned pale. Thankfully, Excalibur wasn't aimed at them.
"Big Dog? Is it still alive?" Judges Illya and Kirei Kotomine asked loudly.
Amidst the dust, Cú Chulainn raised a thumb to indicate he was still alive, but he quickly lowered his hand, leaving it unclear whether he was still alive.
"Referee! I'm reporting this! This is outrageous! Cú Chulainn may be annoying, but you can't treat him like this! And releasing his Noble Phantasm is against the rules. I'm reporting Saber for doing what I wanted to do." Yamabuki Hanajin immediately raised her hand.
"Report successful!" Kirei Kotomine stared at the destroyed site, his soul nearly leaving his body. Did he know why the Holy Grail War changed its rules this year? Wasn't it because the destruction caused by the Holy Grail War was too great? The Church's assets were almost in deficit. If he didn't come up with a solution, he would have no choice but to sell Mapo Tofu at a roadside stall.
"The rules now are that Noble Phantasms cannot be used when attacking Cú Chulainn. Also, change the barrel, and the match will continue." Kirei Kotomine stared at Cú Chulainn.
"Do you have any humanity? Saber, you're the King of Knights, aren't you? If you're so capable, fight me fair and square! What kind of skill is it to win this way?" Cú Chulainn tried to awaken Saber's remaining conscience.
Saber stared at Cú Chulainn: "But I'm following the rules! I'm standing there and not moving. I'm unleashing my Noble Phantasm again!"
"Don't unleash your Noble Phantasm! Didn't you hear what the referee said? Unleashing your Noble Phantasm is a foul!" Cú Chulainn was on the verge of tears.
Why do I feel like the whole world is against me?
The Saber King said in a serious tone, "I will not listen to any rules that are not in my favor."
"Shirou Emiya! Shirou Emiya! Quickly control your Saber! Your Saber is about to turn evil! Shirou Emiya! Aren't you supposed to be a champion of justice? Now is the time to carry out justice, good luck, young man!" Cú Chulainn shouted while crying.
At that moment, Yamabuki Hanajin laughed and jumped onto the high platform in the distance: "Don't cry, I'm next."
Cú Chulainn saw an adorable little girl standing on the high platform, but the little girl had a devilish smile on her face.
"Who are you? Don't you guys feel that the smile on this girl's face is ominous? Projection magic? And this outfit, Archer, are you sure this isn't your long-lost sister? You two are exactly alike! Didn't we just say no Noble Phantasms? Why are you projecting so many Noble Phantasms? What are you trying to do?"
Yamabuki Hanajin drew her bow and nocked an arrow: "Don't worry, I'm a rule-abiding person. I won't use any Noble Phantasms, I've just attached a miniature nuclear warhead to the arrow. I don't believe I can't blow you up! I'm taking this point!"
Cú Chulainn breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yamabuki Hanajin's words. "That scared me to death! I thought this girl was going to unleash her Noble Phantasm, but it turns out it's just a miniature nuclear warhead."
