"How troublesome"
My words exactly reflect my situation and this holy grail war.
I should have thought things would go wrong at some point in history. At least have imagined that this story was a mess, As it was discovered some time ago. Sabre was Fionn mac Cumhaill, a Lancer who fell as a Saber.
The rider became a ruler after his master's death. The true master of Einzbern leaving me alone like the lesser Grail, the only good thing about it was that I didn't receive Saber's soul.
Lancer is currently circling the city trying to spy on the other servants to save us from being attacked by surprise. She is free to attack a master if he is alone, but not a servant. That's what we decided together. If we're going to die, let's go together. if we're going to kill, let's go together too.
I have a lot of irritating decisions on my hands regarding this war. I'm not sure whether to take the offensive or defensive path. A certainty is absolute Berserker and Assassin are the most powerful servants of this war.
Of course, this Berserker is not as powerful as Hercules, but he is not far from power. I'm pretty sure this berserker is Darius III which makes his Húge extremely tricky, A huge that raises an army of immortal undead are terrible to fight
Luckily with Lancer's húge, there is some chance we can petrify his army for a while and manage to defeat him. Assassin is quite the opposite, I fear that if he is the First Hassan, he is a monster of the same level as Hercules.
Defeating him is an impossible issue for Lancer and me. even if we join forces with Tohsaka and his servant who I imagine is Tomoe Gozen who has a gust of Onni's blood to make her stronger, we won't stand a chance against Assassin.
The question is whether with our help behind our backs we can at least have some chance of pissing off the Assassin to get him to open some opening. My magecraft can be used for me to attack it from long range, but the damage isn't much
Of course, I haven't tried creating magic weapons yet, just normal weapons. Because I don't know if my 'magic' will be enough for me to create a magic weapon without suffering from side effects that can put my life at risk.
The biggest problem is that I need to defeat Assassin. he's the most troublesome and Lancer is furious at the humiliation of being defeated by a simple intent to kill. She is completely looking forward to a rematch with something I'm going to give her. But I still don't know when the rematch will be.
As much as I wanted to defeat Assassin, I can't afford to allow Zouken to win the war not when I helped to corrupt the Grail. I won't say I regret it, but everything turned out differently from my plan
This war is a damned compilation of Grail routes. if Darnic manages to steal the Grail, he goes to Apocrypha. If Zouken wins an apocalypse may happen with his desire, then we will have the Kaleid Miyu route or the route of the intuition that the one with Type Venus
so killing the Assassin and leaving berserker alive is not very smart. Since Berserker's only counterpoint in this war is murderous. Without Assassin, berserker will be free to win the war.
Of course, this will only happen if Amakusa Shirou doesn't interfere and manages to kill Berserker and get the Grail for him. Another problem, if Amakusa Shirou has already developed his ideal, it is exactly dangerous to leave him alive.
But, honestly, he's the least of the problems as Zouken is the biggest. his wish could end humanity… holy shit… Amakusa's wish could too. I forgot, the Grail is corrupted!
Fuck, Fuck. Alecs you are a big son of a bitch. Just for getting out of control of your anger, you've just literally sentenced humanity to destruction, congratulations Alecs you deserve applause.
Sigh
Cool, now my biggest problems are Zouken and Amatsuka. At best if Zouken asks for immortality he will only become a dead apostle which he already is in a sense.
Should I trade with him and in exchange for giving up the war I give him one of my philosopher's stone prototypes? No, I will not give my biggest job to someone other than me, or MY descendant or Lancer
Let's think about something else. later
My alliance with Tohsaka is both a good thing and a bad thing. I don't know what Tohsaka is. She seems to be too naive to be a real master. she doesn't understand irony who doesn't understand irony?
Maybe I'm really bad at irony? But, it was pretty obvious that I was being ironic with her. ARGH! Never mind, it can all be an act, yes, that's likely
Tohsaka is a threat too, I may not know what her attitude is, but I know her to wish. She is also a danger to the world and will have to die eventually.
Yes! sacrifices must be made
But at the same time, I know Tohsaka is someone important to my plans. I can't stop her from wanting to reach the root. this I am sure. At the same time I know she is the mother of a little boy.
I am prepared to leave a child an Orphan. I don't know possibly it's even better, since Tohsaka is a mage and magus are horrible beings, just see the Eiznbern and how they act. Tohsaka must be a horrible mother like the Eiznbern are She must experiment with her son and everything horrible I'm sure
If I kill her I will only be helping her son to be free of a magus… Who am I kidding? I'm not sure of her attitude, I'm just blowing my fucking excuses
Sigh
It feels like my heart is still too soft. I have to find a way to harden my heart otherwise I'm sure I won't survive this war
I laid my head down on the pillow when I heard the sound of the window opening;
"Lancer, you're early- " I'll compromise by looking out the window only to see Lancer in the window as her looks at me with blood on her forehead. I see she was carrying Tohsaka, Archer, and Tohsaka's son in what would be a comic sign if it weren't tragic. "Holy shit Lancer, what happened? Are they okay?"
"Assassin attacked Tohsaka's house" Lancer replied with a sigh putting the three of them down and walking towards me. When she got in front of me she let her body fall on top of me "I'm tired pamper me"
"Lancer, you're bloody, you're dirtying my bed… It's okay, you did a good job" I sighed after I teased her and started stroking her blood-soaked hair. "But go take a shower"
"not, I'm tired!"
"Now"
"Not"
"If you're going to take a shower, I'll make roast chicken for you"
"I want to sleep in your bed"
"Yes?"
"Whoa!" She got up and ran to the bathroom
"What got into her?"
"Good, you finally woke up"
"What happened?"
A few hours had passed since Lancer arrived carrying Tohsaka, Archer and Tohsaka's, son. The three of them were sleeping soundly in Lancer's room as I kept my promise to her.
Having Lancer sleeping next to me wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world either, after all, she shifts a lot in bed and has a habit of hugging
Other than that, everything happened normally. My sleep time was enough to rest my body already tired by the pressure of always being alertly relaxed a lot. Well, I felt safe sleeping next to Lancer as her was fully capable of defending me
I sat on the bed next to Archer who was the first to wake up and lay there calmly. Archer eyed me suspiciously, narrowing his eyes, but her hand made not a single movement and just looked over my shoulder warily.
Lancer was behind me with a serious look at Archer ready to pounce at any moment, looking coldly at Archer, how did I know that? is easy! Lancer's bloodlust is something that makes me uncomfortable and that's why I can see it from afar when it's irritated.
She already had Harpe in hand in a comfortable position and ready to with a single stake kill Archer and even if Archer dodges, Tohsaka and the Son of Tohsaka who are behind Archer won't be able to dodge
Cruel? I know! But this is a war, I can't leave loose ends just because I feel sorry for the possible enemy being a mother with children or anything else.
Even if the enemy were a child, I would still suffer the repercussions of his actions against me. Of course, it would be much smaller than an adult, But I'm sure it would be a severe punishment that if it didn't end in a very quick death the child wouldn't be saved from his attitude
It would certainly be a good spanking for the child to learn to be polite to others. Even better with me! Being at war, I know people are capable of horrible things that in normal times they wouldn't be.
As a Survivalist I followed during my life in the world I came before said: In the apocalypse (Situation of War or total anarchy) your neighbour can certainly be a bigger problem than the enemies that invade the city
I might not be someone very careful, but I'm not stupid enough to stand in front of a servant. Without having any kind of protection, I'm not stupid
"You were attacked by an Assassin don't you remember?" I spoke with a sigh "What happened before Lancer arrived?"
"Assassin? MASTER, YOUNG MASTER" Archer yelled with tears welling in his eyes. "WHERE IS THE MASTER AND THE YOUNG MASTER?"
Archer grabbed my collar violently pulling me to her My feet lost their grip on the ground and I flew at her like a feather doll Within seconds I came face to face with a murderous and insane Archer look
"WHERE ARE THE MASTER AND THE YOUNG MASTER? ANSWER ME, MAGUS"
Her hand went back to my neck and I felt the air leave my lungs and my throat grow sorer and sorer, but I didn't let it go. I just looked at her in her eyes that despite testing loss of madness still had the slightest bit of awareness, since she didn't kill me
Behind me, I could feel Lancer twirling Harpe. She was going to take down Archer in the next second. This was not good, We needed Archer to survive until the end of the war
"COUGH, NOT LAUNCH"
The weak, breathless voice came out of my mouth causing Lancer to step back for a second, but still preparing Harpe to kill Archer he completely abandoned the defence.
"MAGUS-"
"Cough, Behind you" My words were weak
I raised a hand pointing behind Archer's shoulder, who for a second hesitated and his eyes moved to the corner faster than I thought possible.
In a few seconds, she released my neck making me fall to the ground. I just didn't hit the floor with everything because Lancer quickly interfered with my fall by catching me in the air and jumping back disappearing to the other corner of the room.
All I felt was a strong wind in my face and surprised, I was across the room in Lancer's lap.
"MASTER, YOUNG MASTER" Archer yelled getting my attention "THANK THE GODS! YOU ARE SO FINE"
I looked with a smile at Archer caring for his master and his master's son, she was crying as she caressed them lovingly.
Archer seemed to really like his master, but it doesn't change the fact that she nearly killed me.
I touched my aching neck and got a worried look from Lancer. She actually seemed to fear that the pain in my neck was something more serious. However, I used the healing spell to end the wound, so I'm fine
"Lancer of a lesson on her," I said with a growl "But don't kill her, just break her legs and arms"
Lancer lunged at Archer who was completely inattentive, Lancer with a single leap. her smile shows an unprecedented hatred. Her gaze was a murderous glint that would chill any warrior
In less than a second, she was in front of Archer. The first thing Lancer did was spin his body vertically the moment he got close to his target, bending his body to the side.
She kicked Archer in the rib with all her strength. Causing a loud crack and sending Archer flying to the wall destroying the bedroom wall with an explosion of sounds
But Lancer didn't care about that, this idiot hurt his master. No matter the circumstance Lancer wanted her dead. even if her master forbade her to do so Lancer would make a point of leaving the Archer on the brink of death so that if the archer died it would only be the result of the beating and not Lancer wanting to kill her.
▃▃▅▅!
As he passed the wall Lancer found Archer standing up with eyes blazing with fury as he drew his swords. Archer's body began to shift with huge horns starting to grow on his head and his eyes losing Iris turning completely blood-red.
Mad Enhancement
Lancer squinted, so, was she just like Lancer? But, it didn't matter because Lancer didn't feel any pity or any positive feelings for this servant. She was just the idiot who hurt her master
Archer's first attack was parried by Harpe and a kick was thrown into Archer's rib caused it to be thrown long and flew into another wall, destroying it.
Rolling outside the castle violently. With some minor wounds. Archer tried to get up, but all she could feel was a strong impact on the back of her head throwing her face into the ground causing a small crater
Lancer was already on top of Archer and began to land his blows on the head of Servent ally/enemy. She remembered the wound in Alecs' neck as each blow he gave her mind was more and more furious.
bang
How this bitch dared harm Lancer's master, she had no right. No one had that right, Lancer's master shouldn't be hurt, he was a good person to her, a terrible monster. Such a good dwarf person shouldn't even scratch himself, let alone be hurt by that bitch.
The sounds of meat being crushed made lancer feel good.
She felt her body growing more and more vibrant with each blow she landed. Before long, Archer didn't even have the strength to react. her legs were crooked and her arms too. Archer's head was bleeding causing blood to spurt from the place with each blow.
But Lancer was not satisfied she wanted more. With another kick to the rib, she sent Archer flying again as he fell to the grass with no reaction her body was already over the limit
This time. Lancer prepared Harpe with the side of the blade to cut the bitch who hurt his master. Her arms filled with strength causing Harpe herself to snap in the mighty grip.
She swung the blade aiming exactly at the fatal point. Lancer no longer wanted to leave this Servant alive. she was too unstable to be around Lancer's master.
"This is for hurting my master" Lancer's cry resounded "Die knowing we could have been allies if you weren't so reckless"
"LANCER IS ENOUGH"
"So, you survived too" In Lancer's room at Einzbern Castle Yuki Tohsaka looked at the child sleeping beside her, her eyes were cold as ice and her expression was Stoic "Good! That way I won't need other heirs"
Yuki hesitated for a second showing a slight sign of regret, but that sign disappeared in the next second when she got up from the bed leaving the child there!
"Now where am I?" Yuki wondered "Why am I alive? Will I be used as a hostage?"
She took a jewel out of her pocket looking intently forward ready to attack anything that moved, Yuki was not the type to surrender easily, no she was a proud Tohsaka mage
She continued to walk through the castle silently. she looked everywhere, stopping at every cross corridor she saw. Yuki didn't want to risk being caught by surprise in an unfamiliar environment
The jewel in her hand glowed brightly, of course, she saw it smiling in victory. that one was a mana stone to which she had gathered mana since her childhood.
The gem was a mana bomb ready to blow anyone even a minion.
Though a part of her told her to beware of attacking her enemy, pride in her barked loudly inside her soul. Jewelcraft research has had a breakthrough in her hands.
One hundred or even 200 years in advance. To the point of turning a magacraft that was at most used for support become an authentic combat magacrafit.
Although her research has given a little stalemate in the matter of spell speed and reuse of gems. She was confident in her abilities.
She continued to sneak around the unknown castle. Before long she felt a somewhat obscure magical presence to her left. She didn't know what the distance was, but she decided not to risk her luck, going to the other side
"A dead apostle?" she asked herself cautiously. Praying I was wrong and not a dead apostle in the castle.
Before long, she was on the opposite side of the dark magical presence. Yuki may never have seen a dead Apostle in real life. But the few mentions of them in her family records gave her the chills.
Of course, her family knew about the dead Apostles, as an ancestor of hers is a dead apostle, not just an apostle. her ancestor was one of the ancestors of the dead apostles
Vampire royalty, of course, Yuki doesn't have vampiric blood in her veins, as her ancestor had children as a human who later spawned the Tohsaka family.
"I have to get out of here" she exclaimed. Her eyes were attentive to everything and her hand always forward-pointing her index finger forward with the jewellery tight in her hand
"Hmm, it won't happen" A female voice spoke next to Yuki
A feeling of despair welled up in Yuki. Her spine quivered and her legs fluttered for a second. she bit her tongue to keep from screaming to the point where the blood came out of her mouth
Yuki acted fast by jumping back, using the mana from the gem to form a body booster, increasing her physical abilities.
"A fang" She yelled. Her magic circuits have been released
Yuki quickly used reinforcement on her body. before long streaks of light enveloped her legs and she jumped back. Yuki's body flew at great speed backwards landing several meters away from where she was
"For a modern magician, you are quite decent" The female voice spoke once more.
Yuki saw a woman in relatively revealing clothes, purple/pink hair, with glowing golden eyes looking at her with contempt and a mocking smile on her face.
"Neun, Acht, Sieben. Stil, schießt Beschießen, Erschießung" Yuki yelled. ice stakes appeared around her.
"Hooo, Interesting" The woman let out a slight snort of surprise getting into a defensive position and summoning a spear "Let's see what you can do magus"
"Servant" Yuki whispered.
Her hands shook, she gritted her teeth angrily. Fighting a servant was not the ideal situation for her. Yuki might be arrogant, but she wasn't a fool.
She knew that fighting a servant was suicide. but, she also knew that she couldn't run away from the servant, so she went all or nothing!
"GO!"
At her words, the ice stakes flew towards the enemy maidservant through the castle corridor at high speed ready to stake the maidservant.
When the stakes came close to the servant, a cruel smile appeared on her face. Her golden eyes gleamed and the servant swung her spear.
There were several hits in a row each with perfect precision hitting the ice stakes easily destroying them and when the last stake was destroyed. The servant has disappeared!
Yuki, who was running away from the servant, felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and fell to the ground. her consciousness slowly faded with everything in her line of vision darkening
"You weren't bad Magus, too bad you weren't good Magus"
Those were the last words before Yuki Tohsaka passed out on the cold floor
"Sigh! Again, you overreacted Lancer! Didn't I tell you to be nice?"
"more than that? I even let her live, I was nice to her"
"If that's your nice, I don't even want to see what your rude is, that's fine, help me get her to join Archer."
"Yes, master~~"
"I think we have to talk!" I sat down next to Yuki on the bed who was quietly looking at a crumpled and unconscious Archer on the floor "It can't go on like this"
"Thus?" Yuki straightened up asking "I don't understand what you mean"
She looked at me seriously seeming to be analysing me, looking at her, I realized a trick. she had her cleavage a little more open than usual and was purposefully leaning forward putting herself in a position where her cleavage was visible
Despite pretending, she wasn't doing anything wrong, acting completely natural. If I wasn't in a situation where she was at a complete disadvantage. Could believe she was like this normally
But, now it's the complete opposite. she is trying to use the art of seduction against me. a pity because I live with Lancer and she tends to be quite sloppy with the clothes she wears around me
"Please take this seriously!" I meant "seduction tricks won't work for me"
"Hmm? but I thought showing part of the body made men happy!" Yuki replied innocently, however, with an irritated grimace "The parent of the thing, donated the sperm easily, after I showed some parts of my body. Despite having him stick that thing inside me, it was more time-consuming, painful and irritating than I thought it would be, especially with him slapping, punching and hanging me. Seriously, if I hadn't killed him when he released that weird goo inside me and I wasn't a powerful Tohsaka but a normal person, he would have killed me"
"Apart from the pain of having the thing leave me! If I didn't need an heir I would never submit to that kind of inconvenience."
"Sperm donor? Thing parent? Slaps and punches, what are you talking about?"
Sigh, why did I ask? I really don't want to know what goes on in a magus' mind
"Well, the thing is, My heir, I had to have an heir of my blood. to mould him in the magic of Tohsaka" Yuki spoke with innocence "For that, I looked for the best sperm donor profile that had no connection with human society. I don't want the idiotic laws intruding on my family"
"Did you go after some sub-human or vampire to have a child?" I asked squinting "I thought the magus was proud of their human lineage"
"No, be silly, of course, I didn't go after some idiot half-breed or an apostle to generate the thing" Tohsaka replied frowning." I went to the place the commoners call the Prison to select the sperm donor. since they have no problem with plebeian laws bugging me in creating the thing"
Alright, let's stop calling her Yuki, from now on she's just Tohsaka, she's worse than I thought ditch. Yes, I am sure now. She is a magus, not unlike the Einzbern. The only difference is that she treats her children like the property not like people.
I looked to the side and found Lancer had my eye on the situation. Disgusted, the worst thing is that Tohsaka is so alienated that she doesn't even notice the atrocities she is talking about.
Sigh
She must have been created as an object also by her father or mother. Too bad magus is rotten. All right, let's not let this disagreement get in our way.
Sigh
I can't stop thinking about the suffering this child will have at the hands of this alienated woman.
Sigh
Stop being soft-hearted Alecs, You're at war, cool your heart.
"Alright, let's pretend this conversation didn't happen?"
"why?" Tohsaka asked tilting his head "I don't understand your displeasure! Isn't making heirs a normal thing among Magus? Come to think of it, Homunculus, you seem to be very powerful, do you want to donate your genes to my family?"
"my current heir doesn't have much magic talent, even though the sperm giver had a lot of Old inside him, the thing didn't inherit the magic circuits from me and neither did the Sperm giver Old," Tohsaka asked touching my hand and once again showing her cleavage only this time, much more brazen "I'm sure you can give me a good heir and I can eliminate this current thing that is a flaw, even if you're a homunculus… your species can be hidden from the family tree of family and exchange it for any human"
Upon hearing Tohsaka's words a vein popped out of my forehead and I did my best not to punch Tohsaka in the face. she is something I don't admit
"Not even about torture!" I respond with a mocking smile, "Sorry, the Einzbern line can't be mixed up with lesser lines"
"Which?" Tohsaka raised his voice "dare, you speak that again!"
She pointed her finger at me and I saw a gem in her hand, how smart, so she had a reserve
"Lancer!"I whispered turning my eye to the corner meeting Lancer and giving the confirmation "Tohsaka-san Unfortunately looks like our partnership ends here"
"Which?"
"Yes, master~~"
Stab
HEADS FLYING
"What do we do with her?" Lancer asked looking at Archer that she was still sleeping on the floor, how she has independent action can spend some time in the world without a master
"Make her the boy's servant, we'll use him in Tohsaka's moonlight"
Upon waking up by the second on the floor with ropes tying his body. The first thing Archer did was lookup. The white ceiling caught his attention, as there were splashes of red liquid all over the ceiling. the smell of blood was also overpowering for Archer that it made his nose twitch.
little by little she was regaining her senses fully, things that shouldn't have entered her head. Things she didn't even want to think about hearing or seeing
Seeing the room with plastered bricks, she began to think about what had happened and why she was there. Although she couldn't quite remember something bothered her about the place.
As she was slowly recovering from her memory problems, her eyes swivelled to a wall, where she heard voices.
"Are you sure, master?" said A female voice "She is still very dangerous and her master died for us, I'm sure she will be furious and attack us, that's what I would do in her place"
"Don't worry Lancer, we've got it" Another voice spoke, this time a male one. "She won't attack us if this is between us. Her honour will speak louder to protect what's left of her goal."
"I never thought someone as kind as you would use this as bait" The first voice mocked "I'm proud of you master"
"Don't be, I'm biting myself inside myself" The second voice replied "Honestly, I don't want to have to do this but, it's a war and we have to throw everything we have to survive"
"Yes, I understand you, master! Don't worry, even in this situation, he's still better than he would be if he were in Tohsaka's hands."
TOHSAKA?
"Yes, I hope Lancer I hope you are right!" The male voice sounded sad "Did you get what I asked for?"
"Yes! I searched all the local orphanages and selected the best ones. I also stopped by Tohsaka's house and took all his hidden material wealth. I used the money to pay some tax to make sure he grows up well without being harmed in the orphanage "
TOHSAKA?
"Thanks, Lancer, I don't know what I would do without you"
"Like I said master, Without me, you would be a cold corpse now~~"
Archer sighed, something was wrong where she was. At the same moment, the sounds of footsteps approaching her had Archer's heart racing.
The voices continued, but Archer's mind was far more focused on her steps than their voices. Why one of the steps was heavier than it should have been, it seemed to be carrying something
Then finally the footsteps arrived at the door leaving Archer even more tense and scared of what might happen.
Alecs eyed the door with some hesitation. He pulled out his newly designed revolver and placed it in a comfortable position. Lancer beside him just continued to stand holding the child in his lap. She looked at Alecs seriously and nodded.
She had great ears and could tell if someone was awake or sleeping miles away just by the sound of her breathing and Archer wasn't sleeping.
She motioned for Alecs to step away from the door and placed the child in his lap. Lancer was glad his master accepted her suggestion with ease. protecting your master in an unfavourable situation would not be good.
Alecs took a step back and stood on Lancer's back who waved. she placed her hand on the doorknob carefully. The creaking sound of the door made alecs shiver and Lancer chuckled lightly.
"There he is back, my beloved cowardly master" Lancer reasoned with amusement entering the room. she knew that alecs were not someone brave. He was just a fool who for reasons beyond his control ended up in a war and had to close his heart
It didn't matter, her master knew how to handle herself in the situation, even though her heart was trembling with fear. He would act on time without flinching. Lancer could confirm that She would be dead if he didn't have such a trait.
In the fight against Berserker of Alecs hadn't shot Berserker's axe, Lancer would be dead, as the shot caused Berserker to cross his Wrong move Lancer and giving her the chance to land a blow on Berserker
Archer's nervousness reached its peak as the door opened and a woman with slightly tanned white skin, purple/pink hair, and a very revealing outfit walked in with a strange smile.
The smile seemed to be a hybrid between nervousness and sadism, as if she were a predator looking at her prey, however, with a slight fear in her heart that the prey would retaliate
The moment Archer looked into the woman's face, she understood why her smile was nervous. All of Archer's memories came back to that moment hitting her like an explosion and an uncontrolled fury swept through Archer.
"YOU" Archer yelled trying to get up "I'll kill you"
The ropes tried to stop her but were easily destroyed in Archer's fury.
"Don't move, or I'll kill him"
"Young master- Not! don't hurt him, I'll do anything, just don't hurt him"
"Nothing?"
"Yes! don't hurt him, I'll do anything"
"Did you see, Lancer? I already told you, that everything is resolved with peace and love! proving that violence is ugly" Alecs smiled pointing the gun at the child's head as he boasted of being able to do things peacefully
He then turned to Archer, who was now completely still and without any kind of reaction for fear of his young master being hurt by this maniac "So Archer, let's talk! like responsible adults!"
