Re:CREATORS: Chapter 513 Re: The Holy Grail War (16)

The Holy Grail War, Day 5.

With the help of magic to conceal their presence, the knight and the magical girl, having finished their day's patrol in the city, landed on the top of the moving skyscraper. After their routine report that everything was normal, the two were granted a short period of free time.

Ultimately, the "protagonists" summoned to this world make their own choices, whether to destroy or save it, rather than out of a sense of responsibility or obligation. For these "created beings," the only things that truly belong to them are the contents of the story. Their decision to save the world is simply based on their own ideas, so there is no way to force them to do anything further.

Fortunately, despite some setbacks, the characters summoned by Altair ultimately made the best choices for humanity in this world. Among these characters who made choices, Mamika Kiraki's thoughts were probably the most innocent.

Her naivety attracted Alice, who fought for similar things, leading to a strong friendship between the two without any prior connection, and even causing the knight's beliefs to waver at one point.

But it is precisely because of her naiveté that the knight has to worry about her future.

"Momika, I have something to tell you."

"Alice-chan?"

Standing at the edge of the rooftop, the knight looked down at the scene below and said in a serious tone, "During the battle before, you said you wanted to end the conflict in a way that wasn't about fighting."

The magical girl looked somewhat confused, but still nodded: "Yes."

“Mamika, I have no objection to your choice and beliefs. However, the current ‘Holy Grail War’ is not the kind of battle you are familiar with. The enemy we are facing is not someone who can be persuaded with a few words. Even for your own safety, please give up this idea.”

"Wait a minute, Alice-chan."

"wrong?"

Facing the knight's puzzled gaze, the magical girl revealed a long-lost smile: "Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you at all back then, that's why I acted that way..."

"No, that's not what I meant."

The magical girl gently shook her head: "We who have come to this world are all fighting for what we value. Alice is fighting for your country, Altair is fighting for Setsuna, and so am I. I am striving for my world and for the people of this world. This is my mission and my wish. In that case, they must also be fighting for what they value."

"This is different!"

"Same here, it was Alice-chan who convinced me of this."

The sudden remark made the knight's heart skip a beat. Looking at the smile in front of him, he couldn't even utter the words he had intended to say in rebuttal.

"Alice used to be hostile to everything around her, but now she can talk to everyone properly, can't she?"

"..."

"What makes us fight is not some irreconcilable reason, but simply that we don't understand each other well enough. With more communication and more understanding, I believe these issues can be resolved. So, I don't want to give up like this. Even if I fail once or twice, it doesn't matter. I must find a way to 'win' without hurting anyone."

Shifting his gaze from the dazzling, almost blindingly beautiful girl, the knight said calmly, "I'm sorry, but I still can't accept your ideology. The rule that victory requires harming someone else is the fundamental principle of all actions in my world."

Just as the magical girl's eyes were about to dim, the knight spoke again: "But if it's for you, I'm willing to try... try to find a way to 'win' without hurting anyone."

"Alice-chan..."

"Let's cheer each other on, Mami, in this world that doesn't belong to us, and in this story that doesn't belong to us."

Grasping the knight's outstretched hand tightly, the magical girl flashed her brightest smile: "Mmm!"

----------segmentation----------

An urgent notice from the mage forced the knight and the magical girl to end their rest time early. After mounting their warhorses and rushing to their destination, they were greeted by a red-haired girl who made no attempt to conceal her identity.

In her hand, the iconic scarlet spear made her identity all too clear.

"Lancer, Scáthach."

Upon noticing the arrival of the knight and the magical girl, the lancer immediately revealed his true name: "I'm sorry I can't enter that barrier as you wish, but staying here shouldn't affect ordinary people, right?"

Compared to the bustling city streets where the barrier is located, this area is an abandoned industrial zone on the outskirts of the city, and naturally, there would be no one around at night.

The knight, keenly noticing Scáthach's unusual behavior, tentatively asked, "Are you different from the other Heroic Spirits?"

"Please do not have any unnecessary expectations; our hostile stance has not changed."

The spear in his hand assumed an obvious attack stance, and at the same time, a naked killing intent erupted beneath his calm tone: "Kill me, or be killed by me. There are only two possible outcomes between us."

"Wait a minute, we don't want to fight you!"

The magical girl interrupted anxiously, "It was the same with Kiyohime and Artoria before; we have no reason to fight!"

"Why do you say that?"

"If it were you, you certainly wouldn't want to destroy this world, right?"

The tone was so firm that Scáthach, who had originally planned not to respond, went against her own initial intention.

"...Our thoughts are irrelevant. As Heroic Spirits summoned to the present world, it is our natural mission and inescapable destiny to fight for the Holy Grail War."

With his spear swung, the spearman, preparing for his final attack, challenged the "bottom line" that controlled the Root One one last time: "If you truly want to save this world, then kill me without any hesitation."

“Miss Scáthach—”

"Lord of the Demon Realm, Scathach—enter."

The surging magic formed a crimson impact, which, after only a moment's pause, pierced through to the two of them, blocking the magical girl who was about to say something behind her, and the knight forcefully thrust his lance forward.

Re:CREATORS: Chapter 514 Re:The Holy Grail War (17)

Because the "enemy" not only informed them in advance of the attack, but also gave them ample time to prepare, the knight successfully blocked Scáthach's attack, even though it was so swift.

After engaging the spearmen in battle, Alice noticed something unusual.

Unlike before the battle, the heroic spirit before me had no killing intent whatsoever, not even the slightest desire to fight. All that remained was the shell of a body wielding a weapon, devoid of any "soul" in its movements.

This scene puzzled Alice, but it also made her gradually accept Mamika's previous explanation.

(Perhaps there really is a way to end this without fighting.)

One side deliberately let the other win, while the other side deliberately cooperated, and thus, a battle that should have ended quickly remained deadlocked.

The Special Disaster Headquarters also noticed the anomaly of this battle, and while puzzled, it confirmed a previous conjecture by Meteora.

"As expected, the Heroic Spirits are not fighting us of their own volition, but are forced to fight us. There is only one true driving force behind this Holy Grail War."

"But if that's the case, why did Kiyohime and Artoria launch an attack even at the cost of their own lives?"

Looking at the two on the screen, whose fight seemed more like a performance than a battle, and who appeared to be fighting fiercely but without any real danger, Mizuno Sata suddenly wondered, "Wouldn't it be better to just do what Scáthach does now?"

"Same?"

This unintentional reminder suddenly made the mage realize an extremely serious reality.

"Oh no! Your Highness, be careful—!"

Because they were not inside the barrier, the transmission of information was destined to be slower than before. By the time Alice received this "unclear" message from the mage, the sudden change on the battlefield had already occurred.

The crimson spear still carried no killing intent, but suddenly accelerated during a normal attack—accelerating from a speed at which the knight could easily handle it to a speed at which it pierced the heart before the knight could even react.

"laugh"

Feeling this sudden chill, Alice looked at her heart with a mixture of confusion and surprise.

Crimson blood seeped outwards along the blade of the gun, giving the already blood-stained weapon an eerie aura.

Ahead, the spearman who delivered the fatal blow showed only a moment of astonishment before being replaced by helplessness and deep regret. In his dying moments, the knight heard Mami's scream behind him and a barely audible apology in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I've done my best."

"Alice-chan!!!"

The knight's non-existent body disintegrated and disappeared before the magical girl could catch him. Before Mamika could recover from this huge change, the lancer, who was completely different from the previous moment, had already swept his weapon at her with no attempt to hide his killing intent.

"—!"

After instinctively dodging the attack, she looked at the crimson spear in front of her, still faintly stained with blood, and a certain emotion that shouldn't have arisen gradually spread in the magical girl's heart.

"Alice-chan... Alice-chan... Alice-chan..."

"I've said it before, don't hesitate to fight with the determination to kill me. Otherwise, you'll only be killed by me."

— Rather than dying under such a seemingly fair but utterly unfair "attack," it is better to struggle to the last moment and then die.

Holding onto this form, which could be considered a surrender, the Lord of the Demon Realm no longer held back.

(That makes sense; how could he possibly ignore such a loophole? Was he simply letting this situation occur by ignoring it?)

Looking at the magical girl in front of him who had fallen into a state of semi-madness, he realized that because of her class "berserker," the madness that did not originally exist in her had been triggered by the sudden death of her best friend.

The magical girl of today has forgotten all her previous beliefs; all she has left is the determination to avenge her best friend.

"A true berserker, huh? Then I have no choice but to respond."

The spear, gripped tightly, split in two under the surge of almost overwhelming magic. The law of cause and effect materialized into tangible "matter" before his eyes, then was pierced through by the crimson spear—

"Gae Bolg alternative——!!!"

Under the pale moonlight, the crimson spear struck its target before it was even thrust out. The "Berserker" did not attempt to dodge the attack, but instead unleashed his most powerful strike at the very moment his heart was pierced.

city ​​fringe.

The cherry-colored magical light expanded and spread to every inch of the surrounding space, and then exploded at a certain point.

After gazing at the distant scene for a while, Lin Yi turned his gaze away.

“A Berserker should act like a Berserker. Isn’t this a more fitting ending than indulging in an ideal that is destined to be unattainable?”

Black only has two pieces left, so it should be over soon.

It seems the true protagonist has been revealed.

Wait, did you hear that sound?

[It sounds like bells?]

[Hey, why did the scene switch to Sho and Yuya?!]

[An extremely ominous premonition]

I think I know who it is...

...l!-i*n~g#dream$first%release

……

……

"Damn it, that guy—"

Upon receiving the message, Bai Yaxiang and Mireji Youye, who were also on patrol, rushed toward the target as quickly as possible. However, without the magical support within the barrier, it was too late for the two combat-type characters to move at their own pace. By the time the two could almost see what was in front of them, the cherry blossom-colored magical radiance had already fully erupted.

"asshole!"

"Wait until you're ready to vent your anger, Xiang."

"what?"

"Be aware of your surroundings."

Gripping her weapon, Mirokuji Yuya stopped and cautiously observed her surroundings.
