Chapter 142

【A dead silence.】

【The whole world is silent.】

【No one expected that under Archer's somewhat free-spirited smile, there was such a sorrowful past; everyone was immersed in her life, silent for a long time, unable to speak, people's eyes carrying some pity.】

【Who says Heroic Spirits...】

【Cannot have a miserable life?】

【Even after death, they must continue endlessly, repeating this sorrowful cycle.】

【"Damn it!!"】

【After a long while, someone lit a cigarette and trembled, "This is too miserable."】

【"It's more than miserable; working for the Counter Force for a lifetime, the path of justice has no end... Hiss, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle."】

【Many people thought of what followed, trembling with fear, feeling creepy.】

【Making Heroic Spirit Xue Nai "work" after death, doing the executioner's job that makes her feel the most uncomfortable, working 007 without rest, and not letting her rest after breaking her down, this is even more ruthless than capitalists!】

【Yukinoshita Yukino's signing of this contract was simply the worst luck.】

【"Damn, no wonder Archer wants to kill Xue Nai, I finally understand."】

【In Kyoto, a big shot mutters to himself, having figured out something he had been unable to understand.】

【He had always thought that becoming a Heroic Spirit should be a great thing.】

【Not only entering the Throne of Heroes, having one's life deeds sublimated into Noble Phantasms, becoming an existence like a little superman, but also being immortal in pan-human history, living forever, calmly overlooking the human world for thousands of years, with dynasties collapsing several times!】

【Then...】

【Okay, nothing to say.】

【Countless netizens also figured it out, their spirits agitated, discussing frantically on the forum.】

【"I get it, the white-haired Archer is born from Xue Nai's ideals being shattered and experiencing a series of events!!"】

【"It can be seen that Heroic Spirit Yukinoshita does not want Xue Nai to become what she is now."】

【"Always helping others, has Heroic Spirit Yukinoshita ever thought about herself?"】

【"Classic trolley problem."】

【"Damn, I'd crush them all, there's no problem at all!"】

【"Sigh, I feel so sorry for Heroic Spirit Yukinoshita, killing the children she raised under the coercion of the Counter Force..."】

【"So, whether it's signing a contract or an agreement, you have to read it carefully."】

【"I have deep experience with this; I always click 'I have read and agree to the User Service Agreement' when playing games, until I spent tens of thousands on a certain game... the next day, the game shut down."】

【"What kind of sucker?"】

【"Then the question is, what about Luo Shu and Kaguya in the Black Archer timeline?"】

【"If they were still there, maybe it wouldn't have reached this point."】

【"I feel like they died in battle?"】

【"Possible, after all, the Holy Grail War is so cruel."】

【"I feel like things aren't that simple; before, in the scene where the Fukushima nuclear power plant sank, when Black Archer thought she would also die, the expression on her face was too complex..."】

【"Damn it, I also feel Heroic Spirit Xue Nai's experience is incomplete."】

【"Something key has been hidden."】

【Amidst the somewhat complaining voices of netizens, the screen continues.】

【The Einzbern family's ancient castle, Archer's faint words drift out of the Sky Curtain.】

【"While begging for no one to die, while killing people for the sake of the majority."】

【"While saying they don't want anyone to be sad anymore, while making more people feel despair."】

【"That is me, Heroic Spirit Yukinoshita's true identity."】

【Speaking to the end, her eyes become extremely cold, making people shudder.】

【"Don't you think a woman like this..."】

【"Wouldn't it be better for the world if she died now?"】

【The white-haired woman standing high up raises her arm, accompanied by mana surging, electric arcs flashing, her fair and slender hands projecting Dry Leaf and Mo Ye, coldly throwing them toward Xue Nai's position on the ground.】

【"Clang!"】

【The crisp sound of swords rings out, finally falling to Xue Nai's feet.】

【Archer looks down at the girl Xue Nai, her cold voice drifting from above,】

【"Kill yourself, Yukinoshita Yukino!"】

【"If you let me do it myself, the outcome will be very ugly."】

【Girl Xue Nai remains silent, picking up this sharp sword from the ground under Archer's cold gaze.】

【As if...】

【At this crucial moment, the lens switches, the screen suddenly changing.】

【From the abandoned castle of the Einzbern family.】

【To a magic workshop surrounded by mountains.】

【Damn?!】

【At this moment, many Earthlings' brains are stunned for a moment, directly dumbfounded.】

【What are you doing, Sky Curtain, Sky Curtain!】

【"Damn it, why cut it off here?!"】

【In Hoori Town, the green-haired loli who is the spirit of the "Tsurumaru" sword is angry.】

【Even with her hundreds of years of experience and temperament, she is broken at this moment; as a ghost, Little Tsurumaru is seeing the power of a cliffhanger for the first time, her heart curious as if scratched by a cat, but she can only stomp her feet in anger.】

【But after the anger, she still can't help but stare nervously at the Sky Curtain.】

【Magic workshop...】

【It should be Caster's camp, right?】

【What will happen here?】

【The sky outside is covered with dark clouds, stretching for dozens of miles, with a light drizzle falling.】

【In the mountains, in an uninhabited house, a beautiful voice can be vaguely heard.】

【"Miss Shoko, I'm back~."】

【The cloaked witch shows a beautiful smile, carrying the fresh vegetables she just bought into the house.】

【"Ah... woo..."】

【The girl with long brown hair carefully pokes her head out, and after confirming who it is, she happily walks out, smiling as she takes the vegetables from Medea's hands, returning to the kitchen to cook happily.】

【The bright vegetables are quickly chopped, along with slices of fresh beef and tofu.】

【In her hands, pots and pans become tools that dance as she pleases.】

【Soon, two bowls of sukiyaki emitting a rich fragrance are out of the oven, and there is also delicious miso soup in the pot, which is also scooped into the pre-prepared porcelain bowls.】

【Medea walks over, gently carrying the kitchenware to the living room.】

【Immediately, the two eat together, the tall witch looking at Nishimiya Shoko with great doting, sipping the sukiyaki in small bites, and after feeling the delicious food bloom on her taste buds, she immediately praises it.】

【"Miss Shoko, your cooking is truly great!"】

【"Woo..."】

【The brown-haired girl shows a happy smile, constantly gesturing with sign language.】

【Medea is responding with a smile.】

【The atmosphere is incredibly warm, simply as beautiful as a dream.】

【Soon breakfast is finished, and the two from Group C clean up this "battlefield" together.】

【Afterward, Medea strictly instructs Nishimiya Shoko to learn to speak.】

【Because she has always used sign language.】

【Unable to speak.】

【"Shoko, I have something to leave for a moment."】

【Suddenly, Medea seems to notice something, her voice soft, slowly walking outside, using a Noble Phantasm to seal and protect this fragile brown-haired girl.】

【Mysterious purple light lights up on the ground, forming countless heavy magic circles.】
