Chapter 103

"Maybe it’s because she’s afraid you’ll get carried away...?"

"Tch~."

Listening to the conversation in front of her, Yukino fell into a slight silence.

She realized she was peeking into the past of Heroic Spirit Yukino.

In Heroic Spirit Yukino’s timeline, it seemed that Kaguya and she had known each other earlier, were good friends, and often trained together.

And then?

Scenes of daily life flashed by, and she discovered that the trio composed of Heroic Spirit Yukino, Kaguya, and Luo Shu had a friendship richer than she could imagine. Both Heroic Spirit Yukino and Kaguya were secretly in love with Luo Shu.

Forming the most stable triangular structure.

Although there was no lack of jealousy, the relationship between Kaguya and Heroic Spirit Yukino actually got better and better.

If only it could always be like this...

Yukino thought in a trance, feeling the atmosphere was incredibly beautiful, making one unable to bear to destroy it.

The surrounding scene was still changing, arriving at the magnificent 5th Holy Grail War.

Familiar scenes flickered, with the King of Purge coming with Hercules, Medusa suppressing Artoria, Medea sneering and taking Ria away, and herself kneeling on the ground trembling in helplessness...

It seemed like nothing was different, but there were also big differences.

But compared to herself in Fate, Heroic Spirit Yukino’s experience was more painful.

She couldn't do anything, saved time and time again by the noble young man in white at the cost of his life.

Even more incompetent than the one on the screen.

The Holy Grail War suddenly ended.

She didn't know what happened, but she became alone again.

She silently left Fuyuki City.

Embarking on the road of salvation alone.

Practicing her ideal of being an ally of justice, appearing in countless bitter and cold places.

The homeless man under the overpass was covered with a quilt, hot food appeared in the bowl of a disabled young man begging, children who couldn't get out of the mountains received extra guidance, and the dilapidated house of an elderly widow suddenly had a heater added...

Heroic Spirit Yukino walked all the way, as if on a journey with no end in sight.

She was helping others as much as she could.

Until...

Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.

["Rumble...!!"]

An earthquake suddenly resounded on the island, and countless massive building facilities collapsed.

It contained massive amounts of nuclear waste and radioactive materials. Once it sank into the sea, it would cause immeasurable losses. Hundreds of thousands of people would die in pain, and the marine fish in the surrounding waters would also be deformed.

Heroic Spirit Yukino, with her white hair, watched all this happen in silence.

A little regret, and a little relief.

Her strength was not enough to save people, and dying with Fukushima was a good choice.

Suddenly.

A cold voice appeared in her ear.

"Yukinoshita Yukino, if you sign a contract with me, you can save all of this."

"..."

Heroic Spirit Yukino was stunned. After a brief thought, her eyes became firm and determined.

She nodded.

In an instant, endless light poured into her body.

She signed a contract with the Counter Force and became a Heroic Spirit.

Possessing the power to save everything.

The dream ended here.

Yukino was in a trance, and before she knew it, she fell completely asleep.

76. Internet-wide Discussion, Big Star Yukino, Young Master in White Exposed!

The next morning.

The alarm clock went off, sunlight parted the clouds and shone into the bedroom, and Yukinoshita Yukino woke up from her trance.

After experiencing Heroic Spirit Yukino’s miserable and lonely life, although it was intermittent and full of colorful, fragmented memories, she could roughly see the sad life of the person named Yukinoshita Yukino.

Pitiful.

Hateful.

Respectable.

Sigh-worthy.

"I will abso~lutely not become you."

She muttered to herself, her eyes somewhat complex.

What if she achieved immortal merits?

What if she entered the Throne of Heroes?

Her whole life was like a tea table placed casually on the table, filled with tragedies.

Signing a contract with the "Counter Force", her ideals decayed into obligations, leaving only deep regret.

Suddenly.

"Ring ring ring ring~"

The phone by the pillow vibrated, and a ringtone appeared.

Yukino glanced at it, swiped the screen, and found it was a call from [Mother]. After hesitating, she pressed answer.

"Mother, what’s wrong...?"

Soon, a cold voice came from the other Reverse Reverse Side, instructing her to return to the old house on Sunday.

She was slightly startled, nodded in agreement, and chatted with her mother about trivial matters in life. Her mother didn't mention a word about the screen involving her.

About ten minutes passed.

After chatting, the mother and daughter were silent for a long time, and finally, the mother said coldly:

"That’s it then."

Although the tone was still cold, she clearly felt that her attitude had changed; there was no longer that sense of command as before.

Before, she wouldn't care about her thoughts at all.

"..."

Yukino looked at the phone in a trance, clearly feeling that her familiar life was being gradually destroyed.

Soon, her father also called, his tone enthusiastic and earnest, chatting about many family matters, caring about her, and only then did he ask as if inadvertently.

"A few days ago, you met that person named Luo Shu in the park, right? Do you have his contact information?"

Yukino felt as if she had been frozen by an ice cube; she woke up instantly, and her tone became cold: "No, he just told my fortune."

Compared to her enthusiastic father, perhaps her strong mother loved her more.

The other Reverse Reverse Side of the phone was silent for a moment, then chatted with her happily for a while before hanging up.

"Should it be over now?"

Yukino muttered to herself.

Ring ring ring ring~

She was silent and answered the phone again.

"Miss Yukino, have you considered endorsing our brand?"

A strange man’s voice appeared, his attitude humble, with a hint of begging.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she hung up directly.
