Chapter 19: Street Cleaning Master
Another kick shattered a Sea Demon, but Broly was starting to get irritable; no matter how he kicked these strange creatures they would move, and they would even restore themselves.
Just as Broly raised his small hand, aiming at a Sea Demon that was in the process of restoring itself, preparing to use an Energy Bullet to blast this thing completely clean.
"Don't bother with these Familiars; the one manipulating them is over there. You have to take out the manipulator to solve these guys."
Kiritsugu Emiya walked to the side, raised his hand and pointed at that Caster, saying this to this terrifyingly powerful child.
Broly looked in the direction he pointed, saw more Sea Demons, and so aimed his small hand that way.
But Artoria was still over there struggling with Sea Demons; she split open a Sea Demon's body, revealing a fleeting figure.
The Crystal Palace in his mind gave a prompt: 【Capture Target discovered, Artoria, current Happiness Value 0】
This made Broly put his hand down.
"Bang~"
The cement ground was crushed directly by his bare small foot, and the rising air wave made the man standing close fall flat on his butt.
"Damn~"
Over there, Artoria was just preparing to swing her sword, to cut down another Sea Demon approaching, when a petite figure rushed over a step ahead, using a flying kick to kick this Sea Demon into fragments.
Landing, Broly jumped again with a flying knee strike, and another Sea Demon's head became scrap; he raised his hand to block a Sea Demon's swinging tentacle, and in one motion grabbed this Sea Demon whole, whirling it suspended into a tilted giant pinwheel, *papapa* sounds incessant, the herd of Sea Demons around Artoria was cleared out just like that.
This series of moves was somewhat flashy, but actually happened in just an instant; Artoria thought a Servant had come to support, thanked them, then discovered the one landing beside her was merely a little boy only up to her waist.
"You have my Magecraft aura on you; you're the guy who killed my Master Ryuunosuke Uryuu?"
Gilles de Rais sensed his own Magecraft aura from Broly and asked directly.
"Ryuunosuke Uryuu?"
Broly furrowed his small brows; he had never heard this name, but if speaking of killing, today there was indeed a guy besides these strange creatures who he kicked to death, and the guy kicked to death was the bastard who caused his other Classmate Wife's Happiness Value to drop.
Thinking of his lost Happiness Value (Happy Water), Broly grew angrier and angrier; adding the matter of Fujimura Taiga's Happiness Value dropping just now, he directly raised his small hand at the speaking Gilles de Rais.
"What are you doing?"
Artoria didn't understand the boy's action; Gilles de Rais didn't quite understand either, but the strength Broly displayed was indeed terrifying; he swiftly retreated into the Sea Demon herd, various Reinforcement Magecraft also swiftly cast, applied onto the surrounding Sea Demons.
"Why hurt my friend, deprive me of my happiness?"
Broly asked.
"What?"
Gilles de Rais didn't grasp the meaning of his words.
"Disappear."
Broly answered his confusion with an Energy Bullet.
Gilles de Rais, who came for revenge, directly turned to ash under the dazzling Energy Bullet Broly released; the slight Magecraft resistance was like a mantis arm blocking a cart, utterly meaningless; the Energy Bullet's momentum undiminished, it eliminated the remaining majority of the Sea Demon Corps together and continued blasting backward.
Assassin hiding in the street shadows had rotten luck; before he could even react, he was caught by the terrifying Energy Beam and a piece of him was eliminated.
The whole street was cleared; as far as the eye could see, it was all empty, only the air's scorch and some Sea Demons on the other end of the Energy Bullet's attack direction, dissipating for lack of Magic Power, could prove the vanished Sea Demon army was not an Illusion.
"..."
Artoria was closest, felt it most clearly; the Energy Bullet Broly released gave her a feeling not inferior to her own Noble Phantasm at Full Release.
The enemy eliminated, Broly's anger also dissipated; he turned his head to look at the King of Knights beside him; Artoria subconsciously tensed up, but her guard only welcomed the boy's small hand.
"Hello, I am Broly."
Broly introduced himself; meeting strangers requires self-introduction, this counts as a basic etiquette he learned after coming to the civilized world.
"King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon."
Broly's non-hostile posture let Artoria quickly lower her guard too; she put down her Invisible Holy Sword, reached out and shook the boy's hand.
"Shake hands, good friend; this means from now on, you are my best friend."
Broly said seriously; this was new knowledge Rin Tohsaka taught him just tonight.
"Eh?!"
Broly's words surprised Artoria a bit, but seeing the boy's serious look, and that he had just resolved her siege, she didn't Refuse.
Truthfully, Artoria had never had a friend; as a King, she had Subjects and Comrades around her, just no friends.
What, you say Merlin?
That's her teacher, the teacher who taught Swordsmanship and Statecraft.
After gaining another Wife, Broly walked back.
Looking at the empty street, then at the boy walking back with a normal face, the Fujimura Group people all subconsciously stepped back.
Those Sea Demons are Monsters; but the boy who eliminated a herd of Sea Demons, using unknown means to directly clear the whole street, isn't he a Monster among Monsters?
It's normal for people to fear what they don't understand; only Fujimura Taiga, upon seeing Broly return, actively went up to meet him: "Broly, so you're actually this amazing a kid?"
The boy stood out just now, one kick per little monster, simply like a movie; and rushing over there, though she didn't know what happened, a sudden intense Green Light burst out, then the monsters and the guy controlling them were all gone, even the whole street became clean, simply cool as hell okay.
Please forgive, Fujimura Taiga is currently at Middle School Student age; usually she fantasizes about being a Ronin Samurai who upholds chivalry and has high Martial Arts, so upon personally witnessing power beyond the mundane, naturally she's a bit excited.
Of course, she also has the ability to distinguish danger; when other people who don't know Broly retreated one after another, she didn't feel Broly would harm her, so she actively went up, facing Broly with both surprise and liking, because Broly saved her grandpa and the other Fujimura Group people.
"Right, what was that Green Light just now?"
After checking Broly's body, confirming he had no injuries besides some monster blood, Fujimura Taiga asked.
"It's an Energy Bullet."
Broly answered honestly.
"How do you do it?"
Fujimura Taiga pursued the question.
"Just gather Qi, condense it in the hand."
Broly spoke and raised his small hand to demonstrate; as green light emerged from his small hand, a group of people *whoosh* dodged far away.
Joke; that street is still empty as far as the eye can see; no one wants to be evaporated into nothing like those monsters.
"How amazing, can I touch it?"
Fujimura Taiga asked while reaching out, seemingly wanting to touch the energy bullet condensed in Broly's hand.
"You're too weak, you can't touch it, you'll get hurt."
Broly hurriedly withdrew the energy bullet's Qi back into his body; even he could now clearly recognize the extent of the weakness of the people in this world.
Others didn't matter, but he couldn't hurt people who were good to him, and among those he couldn't hurt, Fujimura Taiga, who fed him, clothed him, bathed him, and gave him bedding to sleep in, ranked No. 1. "Alright, I really am too weak."
Seeing the boy's display of divine might, Fujimura Taiga had to admit this point, then she pinched her nose and looked at Broly with some dislike: "You reek of fishy smell, you need to go bathe again."
Broly sniffed himself and discovered it was indeed true; the sea demon's blood, after sitting for a while, gave off a fishy stench unique to seafood. It definitely wasn't as foul as Vampa Spider body fluid, but since Broly had already tried being a clean child, he couldn't help furrowing his small brows slightly.
"I'll take you to bathe."
Fujimura Taiga picked up Broly and intended to walk into the Fujimura Residence.
In the panic just now, she had also broken out in a full body of sweat.
"Wait a minute, I still have something to say."
"What is it?"
"Put me down first."
Fujimura Taiga put Broly down, then saw the boy run over to someone else's Humvee, and under the guard of the man named Kiritsugu Emiya, he reached out before the red-eyed, white-haired Irisviel and said: "Hello, my name is Broly."
"Uh, I'm Irisviel von Einzbern, is there something?"
The homunculus woman, created and with only nine years of actual life experience, responded to his self-introduction, extended her hand, shook his small hand, and asked.
"You're my best friend now."
Having completed the process of recognizing the wife, Broly dropped this line and ran back to Fujimura Taiga's side.
Left behind on the spot was a group of people with dumbfounded faces.
"What's with that child?"
Irisviel asked with a wry smile.
"Don't know."
Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head, not noticing at all that his wife had been targeted by someone.
"But one thing is certain: he's not a Servant, has no Magic Power on him, and isn't a Mo Jia Shi either."
"Then what exactly is he?"
"Don't know, but he can probably be described as a Monster, this kind of Existence."
"Will he pose a Threat to us?"
Kiritsugu Emiya didn't speak, because he still wasn't clear, however, he realized one thing: that he himself tonight might truly be dragged in by the other party, after learning from Artoria's mouth the dialogue between Caster and the boy.
"Do we need to shift our base?"
"The third Safe House isn't prepared; shifting haphazardly is still not as good as staying here, adapting to all changes by not changing."
Looking deeply at the boy being carried back to the Fujimura Residence by Fujimura Taiga, Kiritsugu Emiya said this line, then drove the Humvee missing half a car door back to the original residence.
"I'll go see the power of the move the other party used to destroy Caster."
After sending Irisviel back, Kiritsugu Emiya came out again, but this time wanting to go see the situation at the end of the Street.
This trip was a full Three Kilometers; at the end of the Three Kilometers where the energy bullet's destructive power reached, Kiritsugu Emiya saw a mighty large man driving a Gordius Wheel, and beside him was a young man with delicate features.
If not Rider and his Master, who else could it be?
"Master……"
Artoria walked forward from behind, looking at the Rider pair with Alert Level.
"Yo, King of Knights, good evening."
Iskandar greeted.
"Tonight, you caused quite a commotion."
He said.
"This isn't……"
Artoria's words weren't finished before being interrupted by Kiritsugu Emiya.
"Caster came to trouble us again, not counterattacking wasn't an option."
"True, but I didn't expect that the King of Knights with an injured left hand could still display such powerful force; last night saying she was just a little girl, it seems I was a bit Arrogant."
The King of Conquerors actively Apologized; power doesn't represent everything, but possessing power proves Artoria isn't a little girl.
"Rider, did you come here just to say this to my Servant, or do you also want to take the opportunity to strike at us?"
"Saber's Master, although I know you're using Provocation to provoke me into not acting, my not acting absolutely has nothing to do with your Strategy; a King's Battle should be Fair and Square, I have no intention of doing Opportunism."
Iskandar said this to Kiritsugu Emiya, then looked at Artoria: "King of Knights, looking forward to the moment of our Duel; additionally, Congratulations on your great victory tonight."
Dropping this line, the King of Conquerors Iskandar drove off with his little Master, and this reaction of his gave Kiritsugu Emiya an idea.
"What, you want to Claim credit for eliminating Caster? No, I Disagree; the person who eliminated Caster wasn't me."
Returning to the residence, Artoria directly expressed her Denial attitude toward Kiritsugu Emiya's idea.
Claiming another's merit, for a Knight, is simply Slandering one's own Knight's Code.
You must know, among the Knight's Eight Virtues, there are 【Honesty】 and 【Honor】.
"Listen, Saber, you're not claiming credit; although the person who eliminated Caster wasn't you, you are the only Servant who participated in the battle to eliminate Caster tonight, according to Regulations, we have the Qualification to go obtain that Bounty's Command Spell."
"But that's still no reason to claim someone else's credit."
"Don't worry, I'll truthfully tell the Holy Church the actual process of Caster being Solved; as for whether the Holy Church acknowledges our Subjugation of Caster, that's their business."
"You don't need to worry, I will truthfully tell the Holy Church the actual course of Caster being solved; as for whether the Holy Church acknowledges our subjugation of Caster, that is their matter."
"Last night, our side encountered an attack by Caster and his Sea Demon Legion, and under our Servant Saber's assistance in battle, Caster and his Sea Demon Legion were eliminated by a powerful force.
Hmm, this is Saber's Master's battle report on last night's engagement with Caster; it has already been confirmed that Caster was eliminated, and that one strip of a terrifying light beam that nearly pierced through the Old City District was also captured by the road surface surveillance cameras.
Even one body of the Assassin my son dispatched to observe the situation was caught up in the battle's wave, and was miserably eliminated before a concrete battle report could even be transmitted back.
Kirei Kotomine, across this Magecraft tool the Phonograph, was discussing the situation with Tohsaka Tokiomi, mainly discussing whether this bounty Command Spell should be given.
