Chapter 159: Irisviel’s Bizarre Adventure.
"..."
"..."
Despair spread in the little boy's heart. Although he is not yet an adult, he has now witnessed the dangers of adults and has developed a fear of society. But it doesn't matter. Just like every child who has a psychological trauma from monsters will be healed by Ultraman, the little boy's hero is on the way.
“Haha…hahahaha…hahahahaha~!”
The perverted laughter always sounds so crazy. Ryunosuke Uryu walked towards the little boy step by step happily and unhurriedly.
As a professional, Ryunosuke Uesugi's professionalism is at the highest level, so although the current situation seems a bit suicidal, in fact everything is under his control.
This house is located in the center of a residential area, with neighbors all around. Logically speaking, as long as the little boy shouts, there is a high chance that the neighbors will come to ask or even call the relevant personnel - the chance of calling the relevant personnel is still higher. After all, the TV stations in Fuyuki City have been broadcasting news that a murderer is lurking around and asking people not to go out at night. The uncles in Fuyuki City are so worried about this that they have to work overtime all day.
However, Ryunosuke Uesugi had his reasons for doing this.
Like the lower-class residents in any country in the world, if they want to survive, they have to work - they don't know whether they live to experience life or to work - in short, as a professional, Ryunosuke Uryu had done sufficient reconnaissance before committing the crime - at this point, the surrounding neighbors are all at work, so it doesn't matter if he lets the child scream.
That's why now Ryunosuke Uryu walked slowly to the little boy as if he was taking a walk after dinner, and gently stroked his head, his actions like a caring big brother in a heartwarming anime.
"What's wrong, kid? If you have anything, you can tell me. I love helping others~!"
"I... I..." The little boy's voice trembled, but out of instinctive fear and the body's protective mechanism, he still showed strength beyond his age. He replied reluctantly and very fearfully, "The door... the door is locked, I, I can't open it..."
"is it?"
Uryu Ryunosuke nodded, as if he was really thinking about it.
"Then... everything is the choice of fate, don't blame big brother~"
With his interest exhausted, Uryu Ryunosuke decided to stretch out his claws and reveal his hideous true face, and to test whether the summoning content in the book was true in the face of the little boy's fear.
In fact, Ryunosuke Uesugi didn't really believe in the summoning method in the book. He had never been exposed to the reality of this world and naturally didn't know the existence of magic. The reason why he was doing this now was purely because he was bored.
——It's like listening to a beautiful piece of music before drinking a bottle of good wine.
The hand that was gently stroking the little boy's hair turned into pulling. Amid the little boy's cry of pain, Uryu Ryunosuke pulled his hair and walked towards the summoning circle step by step.
Next to the summoning circle, there are many tools, and each tool is covered with dark red marks, silently accusing Ryunosuke Uesugi of his evil deeds.
Ryunosuke Uryu listened to the little boy's wailing in a good mood while selecting the tools he was about to use.
"Should I use scissors or pliers? No, no, that's too gentle. I haven't used this in a long time. Let's review it today."
The voice was very relaxed, just like a otaku who had drawn the curtains, lay down on the bed, prepared toilet paper, and was looking for side dishes. However, the tool that Uryu Ryunosuke valued was very perverted - it was a hammer with a dark red unknown liquid on the head.
"No, no! No!" The little boy collapsed on the ground, kicking the ground with his feet and backing away. Ryunosuke Uryu, holding the sledgehammer, overcame all the fears that the little boy had in his heart before.
The room was very dark, but a ray of sunlight came in at some point, making Ryunosuke Uehara's shadow very long. On the left side of the shadow, there was a big hand holding up a sledgehammer and was about to swing it down!
"do not want!"
"Bang!" The hero appears.
"Stop!" Mrs. Irisviel shouted, making quick magic gestures with her hands. She was not proficient in combat magic, but she had a unique skill in control magic. This skill could even allow her to control the pervert Kotomine Kirei for more than ten seconds when he was not serious.
This level of control magic is certainly not enough to deal with powerful magicians, but it is more than enough to deal with Ryunosuke Uryu, a pervert who only hunts ordinary people.
But... Mrs. Aliceviel's warning not only failed to stop Ryunosuke Uryu's actions, but made him look fierce when he turned around and saw someone, and his hands moved even faster!
Ryunosuke Uryu is very abnormal and his hands move very fast, but there are people who are faster and stronger than him!
"Shua~!"
The sharp blade cut down the body, and flashes of cold light flashed in the air.
Saber, who severely injured Ryunosuke Uryu with one blow, used the sword in her hand to knock away the heavy hammer falling from the air, and stood there breathing a sigh of relief.
She wanted to comfort the frightened child, but heard a panicked voice.
"Leah!"
Kenshin Matou shouted, and Saber, hearing the voice, instinctively looked towards the place where she felt something was wrong, only to see that the dim summoning circle had begun to reveal bursts of red light, which was getting brighter and brighter.
Except for the little boy, everyone present was no layman and naturally knew what was going on.
"How is it possible... haven't all these evil summons been abolished... No, that's not right, Saber!"
Mrs. Irisviel reacted and reminded loudly, but Saber, who had already been reminded by her husband, just nodded calmly, holding her sword with both hands and prepared for battle.
Kenshin Matou walked to Saber's side and pulled up the little boy who was unable to get up due to excessive fright and weak legs. He looked at the little boy and felt that he was very familiar with him, but he could not remember clearly after experiencing a large number of simulated memories.
"You, you are... Matou-san?"
"Oh? Do you know me?" asked Jian Tong Jianchen.
"Yeah." The little boy, still feeling a lingering fear, nodded. "We are classmates in the same class. And, it's strange that even the class monitor can't recognize Matou-san, isn't it?"
His legs were still weak and he was still being supported by Jianchen Matou, but the little boy's mouth was firm.
Jianchen Matou looked at the little boy's trembling legs with amusement, then stared into his eyes for a while. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was self-evident.
Without giving the little boy a chance to continue being stubborn, what happened next was not what he should have seen. After performing a simple suggestion magic on the little boy, Kenshin Matou dragged him to the door and put him next to Mrs. Irisviel.
Afterwards, Kenshin Matou returned to Saber's side.
As a qualified husband, he naturally has to advance and retreat together with his wife. Waver can do this, and so can he, the seventh-generation head of the Matou family!
Saber glanced at the swordsman Matou who was going to fight with her, and said nothing.
Saber, who had shared the simulator's memories, certainly knew what kind of unsolvable ability this eight-year-old child in front of him had—an ability that was immune to all mysterious things.
Saber's thoughts now are very simple. Although she acknowledges in her heart that the memory is real, it would be even better if Kenshin Matou could show his "open-minded" ability, the same as Emperor Gaozu of Han, or his talent as a magic perpetual motion machine.
Kenshin Matou understood Saber's thoughts, so besides standing together with his wife, he also had this meaning in mind.
This is the tacit understanding between husband and wife.
This made Mrs. Irisviel, who was standing at the door and had almost failed to save the child because she performed magic too slowly, feel even more sad.
Looking at the two people in front of her who were in perfect harmony with each other, Mrs. Irisviel felt like she was redundant.
Obviously...
Time did not give Irisviel the chance to let the sadness in her heart continue to ferment. Lying on the ground, Ryunosuke Uryuu, who was not yet dead, was so weak that he could only move his eyes slowly, but the excitement in his heart was boundless.
Lying on his side on the floor with a summoning circle painted on it, Ryunosuke Uehara could see the dark red blood flowing out of his body. This was blood that was different from all the blood he had ever seen. It was the best paint!
Not only that, perhaps people become more sensitive when they are about to die, or perhaps something really changed in reality. Uryu Ryunosuke felt that something was communicating with him. The mumbling was extremely obscure, and he... couldn't understand it, but he could feel the emotions contained in the tone.
It was dark, manic, crazy, chaotic,...
"Is that so... So... The thing I've been looking for... has been inside my body all along... Really, if you had told me earlier... I'd been looking for... for so long..."
Ryunosuke Uzumaki is dead.
He didn't die from bleeding due to the wound from Saber's sword, but from the dark red tentacle that pierced his heart from the floor to the top. Bluebeard, answer the call!
"EX...calibur!" Eat my curry stick and cover your face!
"..." Bluebeard, who had just appeared on the scene and was about to respond to the Master's call and make a big fuss, was not mentally prepared at all. He was hit by Saber's ultimate move as soon as he was born. Coincidentally, Saber's siege weapon was just right, no more and no less, to kill Bluebeard in an instant.
Fate is so wonderful~
There was a loud bang, and in addition to Bluebeard's brilliant exit, a large number of residential buildings collapsed.
Don't get me wrong, the reason why Saber was able to use her ultimate move so decisively was certainly not because she could ignore the safety of ordinary people in order to eliminate evil, but because her husband, Kenshin Matou, had used a large-scale expulsion magic before going upstairs.
At this moment, there were even fewer people in the entire residential area than Ryunosuke Uryu had imagined. Not only had the neighbors of this house gone to work, but everyone in the entire residential area had left. There were various reasons for leaving, but the most common reason was that they had received instructions to "leave the residential area."
Bluebeard was gone, and what was sacrificed was Emiya Kiritsugu's magic power and an entire residential area.
Kenshin Matou didn't care about Kiritsugu Emiya's loss of magic power. The people in power in Fuyuki City were responsible for the problems in the residential area. At this time, Kenshin Matou was thinking about something very serious.
It is true that Saber's ultimate move is very powerful, but it also consumes a lot of magic power... So, although I am not Saber's Master now, I have endless magic power. Can I replenish Saber's magic power? Can someone who is not a Master replenish the magic power of other Masters' servants?
This is a very serious question, and Jianchen Jianchen is thinking about it very seriously.
Saber stared blankly at Kenshin Matou. Saber, who was very "familiar" with Kenshin Matou, understood his thoughts in no time. She blushed all of a sudden, even though she had done everything with him in the simulator's memory...
But that was after the other person became an adult!
"Don't even think about it, not before you come of age!"
She spoke out her thoughts almost subconsciously. After realizing what she had said, Saber's face became even redder. She turned around and looked at Mrs. Irisviel who was confused, then quickly walked towards her, pulled her and ran downstairs.
Hearing Saber's words, Kenshin Matou smiled. Saber's blushing face was more beautiful than the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Jianchen Matou chased after him.
……
……
In a cheap hotel in Shinto, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was kissing Maiya, suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He pushed Maiya away. With rich combat experience, he knew that this was because his body had consumed a lot of magic power. He frowned and asked, "Did Airi and Saber encounter a Servant?"
Without thinking too much, Kiritsugu Emiya sat on the big bed in the hotel and called his wife.
the other side.
Saber was driving in the direction indicated by Kenshin Matou.
Mrs. Irisviel sat in the back seat with a complicated expression on her face. She really couldn't understand why she, a Master, albeit a fake Master, couldn't understand Saber as well as a stranger, and... the berserker of the Holy Grail War was... solved so easily?
The scene where Bluebeard was reduced to dust by Saber's single move was still vivid in Mrs. Irisviel's mind.
"Why do the people of the Matou family know the location of the Berserker Master?"
"No, I can't say that I know the location of the Berserker Master, but how did I know that there would be a murderer in the residential area trying to summon a Heroic Spirit at that time?"
This behavior was so bizarre, as if she had experienced it all in advance and could predict the future. Mrs. Alice couldn't understand it at all.
What worried her even more was that although Saber showed the strength that Einzbern expected, that strength came at a price. The more powerful the attack, the more magic power would be consumed. This was a matter of common sense.
And... Saber's Master is not herself, but her husband Emiya Kiritsugu.
"If Kiritsugu calls me later, what should I do? How should I explain? Should I explain it normally? Will the people of the Matou family agree with this...?"
Mrs. Irisviel thought worriedly.
But just like that 'Murphy's Law', when Mrs. Irisviel was thinking about it, Emiya Kiritsugu called.
Irisviel: “…”
Fortunately, the lovely Mrs. Alice is not Chinese, otherwise there would be inevitable complaints about her.
Looking at the caller ID of Emiya Kiritsugu on her phone, Mrs. Irisviel raised her head and saw Kenshin Matou looking at her.
"..." A feeling of being caught arose in Mrs. Irisviel's heart.
Mrs. Alice Fell frowned, but still answered the phone.
"Hey, Kiritsugu."
Mrs. Irisviel said in front of Kenshin Matou.
In the cheap hotel in Shinto, mistress Maiya sat next to Emiya Kiritsugu, emitting a cold aura. Don't get me wrong, this was not because she felt that Irisviel had ruined her good deeds. Maiya was not a normal person. Just as Emiya Kiritsugu defined her, she always regarded herself as Emiya Kiritsugu's tool.
The reason why she exuded a cold aura had nothing to do with Irisviel. Maiya had always been like this except when she was comforting Emiya Kiritsugu and kissing him.
Now, she was sitting obediently beside Emiya Kiritsugu, watching him frown.
"Eri." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "Did you and Saber encounter a Servant?"
Speaking words of concern is something that Kiritsugu Emiya cannot do in the Holy Grail War mode. The thing that he cares about the most and the only thing he cares about right now is the Holy Grail War.
Although she had been prepared, Mrs. Irisviel was still a little disappointed after hearing what Emiya Kiritsugu said.
"Yes, Saber and I encountered a Master who was summoning Heroic Spirits. He was using an evil summoning ritual at the time. Although Saber acted quickly, he still summoned a Berserker before he died."
Mrs. Irisviel briefly recounted what had just happened, and omitted the involvement of Kenshin Matou.
This is not to say that she betrayed Kiritsugu Emiya, that is impossible. In addition to being her husband, Kiritsugu Emiya is also the representative of Einzbern participating in the Holy Grail War. Whether from the perspective of emotion or family, Mrs. Irisviel has no reason to favor Kenshin Matou.
The reason she was doing this now was simply because she was under someone's control.
Irisviel clearly understood one fact, that is... during the time she asked Emiya Kiritsugu for help and asked him to use the Command Spell to control Saber, Kenshin Matou had at least ten times to kill her.
Therefore, Mrs. Alice did not choose to gamble, and this kind of gambling was meaningless.
For now, I can only pretend to be submissive temporarily and see what the intentions of the Matou family are.
"Really? How was the battle's result?" After digesting the news about Irisviel, Emiya Kiritsugu asked.
"The timing was perfect. The Berserker had just been summoned and before he could react, he was taken care of by Saber."
"Really? That's good." Emiya Kiritsugu was somewhat happy.
As soon as the Holy Grail War began, the Berserker, one of the seven Servants, had already retired. This was undoubtedly very good news, and the price he paid was just some magic power.
Magic power can be restored, and when a servant leaves the stage, he really leaves the stage.
