Abnormal month

Aosaki Residence has a basement.

This is the magic workshop of Aozaki House. In principle, Kasumigaoka Shiu, Hayasaka Ai and others are prohibited from entering. In the absence of Orange, only Roy can use this place.

Not only are a large number of magic books stored here, but there are also some magic costumes and rune papers made by Roy. Magic-related items can be seen everywhere here.

Normally, Roy would practice magic here.

It was pitch black here, with no sunlight coming in. There were only a few dim wall lamps set up there, like the common caves in ancient tombs, barely illuminating the world.

Looking closely, there were several corpses on the ground.

No matter the limbs or the torso, they are exactly the same as humans.

Only his face was blank.

It's like a doll with its facial features cut off, which makes people shudder.

The atmosphere was so gloomy that a faint-hearted person might faint on the spot.

And there is more than one such corpse in this basement.

The corpses lay scattered on the ground, motionless under the dim light, as creepy as a morgue.

Aozaki Orange opened the basement door.

She ignored the gloomy atmosphere and walked into the door. She glanced back and forth among the several corpses on the ground, selected a certain corpse, then stepped forward and removed it.

Not long after, she returned to the living room of the mansion with a broken arm.

At this time, it was already midnight.

But everyone in the mansion gathered here, one or two faces full of panic.

The reason.

Roy, who was the backbone of the family, was sitting on the table in the living room at the moment. His right arm was broken from the shoulder. The section was extremely smooth, and the muscle fibers and bone marrow in the section could even be clearly seen.

Such a scene was so horrifying that even Hayasaka Ai turned blue, and the Nakano sisters were so shocked that they couldn't say a word. Only Illya remained calm.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu sat next to Roy, looking at the shocking broken arm, and helped Roy apply the medicine with trembling hands.

"This was taken from your spare body."

Aozaki Orange came to the living room and put the arm he brought out from the basement on the table.

She signaled Kasumigaoka Shiyu to step aside and let herself take over the next work.

"The dimensions should be exactly the same, but the muscle fibers on this arm are a little tighter and more powerful than your original right arm. It will take you some time to get used to it."

Aozaki Orange started the transplant operation on the spot.

"Little girl who can't stand it, get out now."

Nakano Ichika glanced at Sanjiu who was shaking non-stop, helped her leave.

Hayasaka Ai went to the kitchen, and only Kasumigaoka Shiu and Illya stayed.

"Master, can you say something?"

"Tai Gongwang? What do you want to say?"

Taigong Wang spoke to Roy.

"Is the backup body Ms. Aozaki Orange mentioned as your retreat? Even if you die outside, you can still be resurrected with your backup body?"

"No, this is a stunt that only Orange can use. It does not apply to anyone except her. That spare body was prepared by Orange and she will change it for me after the Holy Grail War is over."

"Yeah."

Tai Gongwang's voice disappeared for a while.

But he didn't end the conversation, but seemed to be considering his words.

"Today's battle was quite good in terms of results. We eliminated several riding servants."

"But that's just a consequential theory at best. It's because the Master was lucky enough that the magician lady suddenly came back and forced King Arthur to retreat. That's why we got such a good result - but if the magician lady doesn't come back today, you can't pass. What choice will you make if your spare body is resurrected?"

"Let me tell you straight, Master. After observing you over the past few days, I have discovered that there are huge contradictions in your personality."

"You have love for humans and hatred for humans at the same time. I'm afraid you are aware of your own contradictions, so you use the method of taking off your glasses to cut off these contradictory sides of yourself. You are very easy to talk with wearing glasses, then It’s because you have cut off your friendly side towards humans to this side. When you take off your glasses, you are full of malice toward everyone. It’s because you have gathered your malice into this side. This guess should be correct.”

"...That's right."

Roy silently acknowledged Tai Gongwang's analysis.

Roy, who wears glasses, tends to talk too much.

Even if he is facing the magician he hates the most, he can still treat him with a very sincere smile.

Roy took off his glasses, malice filled his heart, and he had the urge to kill anyone he looked at.

These malicious intentions may be due to the fact that the curse has been accumulated in his body for three years and has not been effectively released, but in the final analysis, it still comes from the desire for destruction hidden in his heart.

"Then you took off your glasses when you faced Jiemon. At that time, you should have disowned all your relatives and wanted to kill everyone. However, Ms. Tohsaka persuaded you to take your glasses back. Please pay attention to this contradiction. Reached?"

"..."

"Master, good and evil are two sides of the same coin. Whether it is good or evil, they are human emotions and cannot be completely separated. The contradictory two are combined like a spiral, which is what makes human beings."

"You are willing to be persuaded by Ms. Tohsaka, and you hesitate tonight because of whether to save Ms. Tosaka's life. This means that you cannot completely cut off the good and evil sides of yourself. To be honest, I am very pleased, because it shows that you can realize My own contradiction, if you completely comply with the character pattern of putting on and taking off your glasses, executing it like a machine, allowing sin when you put it on, and killing those close to you when you take it off, then I can only pity you. I won’t say these words to you anymore.”

Tai Gongwang's voice was full of joy.

He was worried about Roy's mental state from the bottom of his heart.

It’s okay not to worry.

In this world full of magicians, there are just too many magicians who have turned into monsters mentally.

He admired Roy's lofty ambitions, and from the bottom of his heart he didn't want to see him turn into a mental monster.

"I have only one purpose in telling you this."

"Since you have the courage to risk your life in order to realize your ideal, you might as well try to use this courage in your own evolution. Instead of cutting off your own good and evil, you can integrate good and evil into one."

"This Holy Grail War is over. If you are not dead yet, then you can only take the ideal first step. By then, you will need the help of many people. If you are still like this, you will only Keep everyone close to you away from you."

"So, after going in such a big circle, you just want to tell me that I should have asked you to move me and Tohsaka away together?"

"Hahaha, I am indeed more inclined to this choice!"

Grandpa Wang’s hearty laughter came.

"Oh, Master, if you die, you have to rely on me to realize your ideal. I don't know if I can do it, and it will be very troublesome. Maybe hundreds or thousands of years of my efforts will be wasted. oh!"

Roy was speechless for a while.

You don’t want to work on your feelings!

"But thank you anyway. What you said makes sense. I will think about it carefully."

"It would be great to inspire you."

Taigong breathed a sigh of relief as there was no trace left.

Secretly, he nodded happily.
