Chapter 399

Responding to the expectations of my parents, playing the role they wanted to see since I was a child, I have long forgotten who the real me is.

Could the real me be someone who is obsessed with being correct?

Like little Yukino?

Shuddering, Yukinoshita Yukino quickly cast aside the "Yukino-ish" version of herself in her mind.

It's too terrifying.

Yukino was also staring blankly at the sky screen.

Is the sister of that world this kind of person?

I can't see any difference from the real her at all.

………

Sky screen.

Amidst the distant background music.

【"Confidence is a good thing."】

【"But the Holy Grail War is not such a simple thing."】

【In the swirling snowflakes, the old man who survived the Third Holy Grail War looked at her with calm eyes: "To let you win and hold the Cauldron of Omnipotence, Einzbern even entrusted that Holy Relic to you.

You won't let me down, will you, Yukino?"】

【"Relax, relax~~"】

【The girl waved her hand with a beaming smile: "Success is the only option, failure is not allowed, right? That kind of thing doesn't matter."】

【"When it comes down to it, the weakness in every group of the Holy Grail War has never been the Heroic Spirits."】

【"It's that basic magecraft is enough to shoot them dead..."】

【She extended her fair right hand, made a gesture of holding a handgun, aimed it at the old man in front, and her plump red lips parted slightly.】

【"Bang."】

【Silent and soundless.】

【A transparent beam of light flashed past the side of the old man's cheek.】

【In the distance behind the old man, a clear, penetrating hole appeared at the joint of an ice tree.】

【"... Humans, indeed."】

【Withdrawing her hand, Yukino took light steps and brushed past the old man, her voice barely audible: "When it comes to killing people, Yukino-chan is still quite confident."】

【It seemed like pleasure, it seemed like melancholy.】

【The old man's pupils shrank suddenly.】

【At this moment, even he, a veteran who had dominated the Einzbern family for hundreds of years, felt a fatal threat.】

【Watching the girl skip away into the ancient castle, the old man's gaze was somewhat wary.】

【This was only natural.】

【As someone who earned the name "Mage Killer" by sacrificing the heads of four-digit mages, how many mages could remain calm?】

【Moreover........】

【This is a ruthless person who killed her own biological mother with her own hands when she was a child.】

【At this moment, he was even a little hesitant about whether it was really correct to bring this dangerous person in as external help.】

……….

"Holy crap, this is what you call an ally of justice? (Terrified face.)"

"What the hell kind of ally of justice is this? A ruthless person who killed her own mother as a child."

The real world was stunned.

They couldn't understand at all: how could this person who slaughtered thousands and killed her own mother as a child have anything to do with justice?

"Maybe it's 'righteousness over family'?"

"What about those thousands of mages? Are they all bad people? She's not even twenty, okay? Even if she officially debuted at thirteen, that's only four or five years, and she killed thousands of people........"

"Awesome!! (Shrugs)."

"Holy crap, the singularity fluctuation detected by Chaldea must be from here, right? It's highly likely because of this Holy Grail War.

Then could it be that this source of all evil caused the destruction of humanity? For example, wishing for world peace or something, and then all of humanity died to achieve peace."

"Holy crap, that's actually possible."

"Holy crap, that makes perfect sense."

Countless people on the internet were discussing it, and they also inferred that the person in the sky screen didn't give the Heroic Spirits, so they must have let the Chaldea Masters obtain them from the Holy Grail War.

And at the Yukinoshita mansion.......

The air was silent.

Even the birds and insects seemed to sense the hidden danger and didn't make a sound.

Yukino stared dumbfounded at her sister, who was always smiling.

It was as if she wanted to see through the shadow on her smiling face.

Mr. Yukinoshita was trembling with fear, looking at his silent eldest daughter Yukino, and then at his wife, Lady Yukinoshita, who was calmly watching their eldest daughter.

He was at a loss.

No.

He knew that Yukino had always been forcing herself, wearing mask after mask to show different people what they wanted to see.

He also knew clearly that his wife was the biggest source of pressure for Yukino.

But this is too much...

Looking at his eldest daughter, who seemed to have torn off her mask and was expressionless, Mr. Yukinoshita, who only had the status of a younger brother in the family, wailed.

"Can you tell me why? Yukino."

Lady Yukinoshita remained very calm, even though another version of herself had been killed by her own daughter, she didn't show any emotion.

"Well, maybe it's because that me is an ally of justice..."

……….

【Fuyuki City.】

【Suburban forest.】

【"This should be it, right?"】

【The frail boy looked at the mysterious scarlet pattern array spreading from under his feet, feeling a bit guilty.】

【Unicorn blood is definitely not something a poor mage like him can afford.】

【Gem powder and black pearl powder were only enough to buy one-fifth of the amount.】

【This is the highest-level summoning magecraft array he has ever seen. Can it really be used if he cuts it down to this youthful beggar version?】

【Kaito Kuroba felt a bit panicked in his heart.】

【But soon, he cheered himself up in his heart.】

【It can be done.】

【You, who are destined to revitalize white magic and make the Kuroba surname shine in the magecraft world again, will definitely succeed.】

【Besides...】

【"I still have this."】

【Kaito Kuroba took a deep breath, took out an old piece of cloth from his bosom, and placed it in the center of the magecraft array.】

【It looked like just an ordinary rag.】

【But this is his trump card, stolen from the mentor's treasury.】

【It is an ancient historical miracle that once belonged to the head of the four great commanders of the Western Calendar.】

【As long as the summoning is successful, then victory is guaranteed.】

【Standing at the edge of the magecraft array, Kaito Kuroba's frail body stood straight, and he extended his hand inscribed with Command Spells, roaring the contract with the will that stands above time and space.】

【"Silver and iron."】

【"The Archduke who makes a contract with the cornerstone."】

【Instantly.】

【A majesty that transcended the mortal world spread out from the array.】

………

"It's been a long time since I've seen it, the Holy Grail summoning ritual."

Reality.
