Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 442 346. Can you believe that the male protagonist died like this? !

The screen switches again,

Fuyuki City.

Fire!

A strange scene appeared in the sky above the entire city. Flames burned the entire city and dyed the sky into gorgeous colors.

At the same time, in the middle of the ruins, two people were fighting with all their might.

In the firelight, the figures became blurred, and only a vaguely visible lady with blond hair in blue armor and a short-haired young man in golden armor could be seen.

The swordsman in blue and the blond armor are both great heroes, and their battles are fierce and thrilling.

The figures of the two people flew quickly across the battlefield, their swords flashing and sparks flying.

The swordsman in blue wields her long sword, with endless strength and courage in every swing.

Her eyes were firm and she looked at the blond armor without fear.

The blond-haired armor is holding his divine sword, and every swing brings the power to destroy everything.

His eyes were cold and ruthless, as if he had everything under control.

This fighting process is completely shown through animation. It is dazzling and the effect is simply explosive.

The fight lasted only about 20 seconds, and Masaharu Yamada was already deeply shocked.

These are top-notch camera movements and action performances!

Every confrontation between the two makes people's hearts beat faster, making them extremely enjoyable to watch.

The two men held swords against each other, crossed each other, blocked, and then separated at the touch of a touch.

The camera rotates quickly and then zooms in.

At this point, it has changed from animation to battle scenes.

The main perspective is of a female swordsman in blue armor.

And she is the character played by Masaharu Yamada now.

Why?

Only then did Yamada Masaharu realize that what he just saw was just the beginning.

He didn't react for a while, including how the game switched from animation to combat.

The entire battle is in 2D form, but uses a more clever checkerboard design.

The entire big chessboard is the burning ruins of Fuyuki City.

The swordswoman stands in the lower right corner of the chessboard.

In the upper left corner, there is a young man in golden armor standing with his head held high.

He raised his right hand slightly, holding a golden sword in his hand.

The two people were facing each other coldly, and from the movements on the screen, it could be seen that each other was breathing. The girl in blue armor also swayed with her breathing.

The girl's eyes were sharp and determined.

So handsome.

This is a galgame-based game, so turn-based combat is just an auxiliary means to fill out the game and add a certain amount of fun.

However, thanks to the combat mechanism, Yamada Masaharu has a certain understanding of the character's attributes.

In terms of turn-based combat, Pokeni did not pursue too many new tricks, but adopted a mechanism similar to Onmyoji step by step.

Qing Zhiyuan did not make it into a card combo. Qing Zhiyuan mainly considered that this is just a game that tells the main story. There is no need to make the combat too complicated. FGO's combat is not actually excellent. The advantage is that it can support players. It is enough for them to collect heroic spirits.

Click on the properties panel and take a look:

[Mysterious female swordsman in blue? ? ? 】

【Strength A】

【Durable B】

【Agility A】

【To magic

Grade: A

The swordsman in blue possesses anti-magic power that can nullify magic circles and instant contract magic.

Modern magicians basically can't hurt her.

No matter what kind of magic it is, magic below A will be ineffective.

If the Master only uses a Command Seal, she can even resist the order.

Because of its dragon nature, when faced with "dragon-killing magic", the magic power may not be fully utilized. 】

[Ride: A

After becoming a Servant, she has A-level riding ability.

He can skillfully control various mounts, including ancient two-horse chariots and modern land vehicles. A fantasy species that cannot control monsters and holy beasts.

…

Have driven a motorcycle.

If she had been given a suitable mount, the battle might have gone differently. 】

【Lucky: A】

…

After reading the corresponding introduction, Yamada Masaharu returned to the game.

Saber now has several different skills.

[Inherent skills

Intuition: A

"Intuition" is the ability to instantly determine "the most suitable action for oneself" in battle.

You can even enter the field of "predicting the future". Can predict ballistic trajectories through wind and intuition, and avoid attacks from firearms. Obstacles to vision and hearing are halved. 】

[Magic release: A

"Magic release" refers to strengthening one's weapons and body with magic power. 】

[Leadership: B]

…

【Holding a Noble Phantasm

Sword of Promised Victory

Grade: A++]

【Wind King's Barrier

Grade: C]

…

Slightly different from the turn-based system that Masaharu Yamada was exposed to before, all the attributes here do not have a particularly clear quantitative value.

For example, how much does A represent? 100, 200?

I don’t know anyway, but I’m sure A is better than B.

In the game settings, although the level is fixed, in fact these things can be linked to the character's own values. That is, the two values ​​​​of attack power and health are quantitative standards. The higher the attack power, the better the value provided. The value of all skills will be higher.

The higher the vitality, the higher the survival value provided.

In future battles, some specific methods can be used to improve the character level and strengthen these two values. Qing Zhiyuan's design is equivalent to preparing for future game expansion.

Yamada Masaharu looked around and nodded.

Completely confused.

Anyway, the attack is over, right?

This battle is just an opening tutorial for novices.

Although he didn't think much about it, he just attacked without thinking and quickly defeated the boy in golden armor.

The screen was lifted up again and entered the cutscene.

boom!

The golden and blue rays of light intertwined and collided with each other like lightning, bursting out with extremely strong destructive ability. The power was like a huge bomb. It first started from one point where the two people collided, and then quickly spread out. Come.

boom!

The flames rose, creating a destructive force in the city.

The entire Fuyuki City was engulfed in flames.

…

【Ten years later】

Why?

Yamada Masaharu was stunned for a moment, why did it happen ten years later after just one battle? !

Did I miss something along the way?

It feels like time has been stolen.

A man's voice rang:

【The time has come】

[Seven magicians participated]

In the picture, many playing cards fell down, and the backs of the cards had a golden metallic luster.

When the cards were turned over, one of the cards showed a swordsman wrapped in European knight armor and holding a long sword in his hand.

And archers with longbows...

There were seven cards in total, falling from the sky and flipping over.

The images overlapped, and in a church, a blue light was projected from the dome above.

Nearby, a middle-aged man who looked like a priest was holding a candle in his hand, with a smile on his lips.

[They will fight each other for the only Holy Grail]

The priest's slightly lowered eyes slowly raised, revealing the dark eyes inside.

"This is--

Holy Grail War! "

…

At this point, the game officially begins, and the male protagonist Shirou Emiya wakes up from his nightmare.

Next is the galgame interpretation method that Masaharu Yamada is more familiar with, a visual novel, which is composed of text, illustrations and animation, with the dubbing of the characters, and he is substituted into it.

He once again dreamed of the fire in Fuyuki City ten years ago.

In that fire, Emiya Shirou was almost buried in the ruins. Fortunately, he was rescued by his adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu, and was able to grow up smoothly.

Five years ago, Shirou's adoptive father Kiritsugu passed away, and the eldest daughter of the Fujimura-gumi──Fujimura Taiga became Shirou's guardian.

On the night of Kiritsugu's death, Shirou made a promise to Kiritsugu that he would succeed him and become a "partner of justice." Kiritsugu said, "Then I'll feel at ease," and then fell asleep quietly and never woke up again.

In order to become a person like Kiritsugu, Shirou practiced every day.

Kiritsugu said back then that if you want to do the same thing as him, you must train your body well.

Since then, Shirou has come to the dojo at Emiya Residence every day to train.

But today, Emiya Shirou overslept while repairing things in the warehouse.

Just then, the warehouse door opened.

In his sight, a girl with long purple hair appeared.

She was wearing a school uniform, gentle and considerate.

"Senior actually overslept today. I feel happy to oversleep occasionally."

The girl named Sakura smiled slightly, "This way I can wake up the senior myself."

"Sorry." Emiya Shirou scratched his head.

Then he stood up and patted the dirt on his body, "In that case, I'm going to prepare breakfast."

"For breakfast, I will prepare it. Senior, please take your time."

Yamada Masaharu sighed in his heart, this is the girl I like.

Where can there be such a good girl in the world?

…

Sakura Matou, standing in the kitchen wearing an apron and tying one side of her hair behind her ear with a hairpin, is really cute.

And it has a charming gentleness.

Like the virtuous mistress of this home.

And the food is delicious.

During the dinner, Taiga Fujimura yelled "Another bowl"

After breakfast, Emiya Shirou and Matou Sakura went to school together.

…

The game is pieced together through several scenarios.

The first is the big map part.

The entire large map is the aerial map of Fuyuki City. Pokeni draws it very beautifully and has a three-dimensional effect.

In the map, there are several different places:

Emiya's house and school.

Others are not open yet.

The Emiya family will be divided into several parts——

Emiya's room, Fujimura Taiga's room, Sakura's room...

Why?

Yamada Masaharu thought to himself, does Sakura actually live in Emiya's house?

From the conversation with Sakura, we learned that this cute, gentle and considerate girl came to Emiya's house to take care of the male protagonist because he was injured a year ago.

Fujimura Taiga, this useless guy, although he is Emiya Shirou's guardian, the food he cooks is very unpalatable. He was the one who cooked before Emiya was injured.

After being injured, Sakura took the initiative to take on this responsibility.

Ah... what a good boy.

Masaharu Yamada thought to himself, this is probably the heroine, right?

Is it an object that can be captured?

It feels like it doesn't take much effort. Judging from the current situation, Sakura can be easily caught.

But how can such a good girl have the heart to pursue other people?

Yamada Masaharu had already made some predictions in advance.

…

The school is also divided into several different scenes, namely——

Classrooms, corridors, archery clubs, playgrounds, etc...

According to the general galgame settings, going to different scenes should trigger different dialogues and plots.

Sometimes they may be mutually exclusive options. For example, if you are with Sakura, you cannot find another heroine.

Yamada Masaharu probably had some understanding.

So according to today's situation, you should go to school first, right?

After going to school, I also met a lot of new characters, including the very annoying Shinji Matou, who is said to be Sakura's brother, but his tone of voice and the way he does things always make people dislike him.

And for some reason, Sakura seemed to be afraid of her brother.

In the school, I also saw a very cute girl wearing red clothes with twin ponytails.

It is said that his name is Tohsaka Rin, and he is very popular among boys because he is so good.

The boy next to him joked, "Emiya, when you stare at me like this, do you also have a crush on Tohsaka?"

"Who is interested in her?"

Emiya denied it.

However, for some reason, when he saw Tohsaka, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

After a day of classes and helping/working from afternoon to evening, Shirou went home in the dark.

On the way I met a white-haired girl.

The white-haired girl smiled happily, and when the two people passed each other, she said something strange.

"You'll die if you don't summon it quickly, big brother."

What does it mean?

Masaharu Yamada only felt that his hair stood on end after hearing her words.

…

After playing this, Yamada Masaharu felt a chill all over his body. After taking out the game box and checking it again, he determined that the script was written by a person named Nasu Mushroom, not Urobuchi Gen.

But what is going on with this sense of suspense and that sense of deathly oppression?

Yamada Masaharu still couldn't understand.

Could it be that--

Is Nasu Mushroom a pen name changed by Gen Urobuchi? !

Just to get away from the fact that players are getting blades? !

horrible.

If you think about it carefully, this is really possible.

Otherwise, why would pokeni hand over a new game project to a complete newcomer to create?

And the name Takeuchi Takashi is also very suspicious, okay?

Maybe it's the combination of Shinji Mikami and Gen Urobuchi.

…

The next morning came.

This time Shirou got up normally, at half past five. Shirou got up late yesterday, so Sakura made breakfast. Shirou planned to report back this morning. Shirou prepared breakfast before Sakura came over.

The two people were flirting and flirting with each other, which really made Yamada Masaharu feel extremely happy.

Girls like this probably only exist in games, right?

After a conversation with Fujimura Taiga, a new dojo was unlocked——

In it, you can train with puppets to improve Shirou Emiya's abilities.

After beating the two puppets, Yamada Masaharu was ready to leave.

At this time, the hero discovered a faint bruise on Sakura's wrist, thinking it was Shinji Matou's work, and decided to beat Shinji up.

After some conversation and understanding:

In fact, Shirou had already beaten Shinji a year ago because Shinji bullied Sakura, and as a result, the relationship between Shirou and Shinji deteriorated.

Later, Shirou quit the Kyudo Club, and Sakura blamed herself for this.

So that’s it, Matou Shinji is too annoying, right?

How do you treat your own sister like this?

When he thought of the scars on Sakura's hands, Yamada Masaharu felt his teeth itching with hatred.

There are still no new locations unlocked in Fuyuki City, so there is no other way but to go to the school.

February 2nd. Morning, Emiya Residence.

Dreaming about the fire ten years ago again, Shirou once again woke up after six o'clock in the morning.

Hearing the sound of Sakura cooking, the hero hurried over to prepare breakfast with Sakura.

When they were leaving, Sakura said that she wouldn't be able to help from tonight until Monday.

Blood oozed from Shirou's left hand, which was originally just a mark, but he didn't feel any pain at all. The wound only had red strips and swelling like bruises.

Sakura's expression stiffened when she discovered this.

Shirou: "Forget it, it won't hurt, it should go away soon. It's okay, don't worry about it."

Sakura: "...Yes. Since the senior said so, I don't care."

As soon as he entered the school, Shirou felt something was wrong.

Closing his eyes, the atmosphere suddenly changed──the school building was covered with filth like mucous membrane, and the students running in the school courtyard felt like empty dolls.

Yamada Masaharu's heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that something was going to happen.

Shirou was about to leave school when Sakura's brother Matou Shinji approached Emiya Shirou again.

Because Fujimura Taiga asked Matou Shinji to clean up the archery department, but Matou Shinji was unwilling to do it, so he wanted Shirou to help.

Emiya Shirou couldn't help but frown.

This guy……

Yamada Masaharu also had the same expression. It's obviously your responsibility, why should you let others do it?

I really want to beat this guy up and send him flying!

If we see the messy Kyudo Club tomorrow, Shirou's Kyudo Club friend Mizu Ayako will have another headache.

Rather than letting Ayako Mizuzu clean up Shinji's mess, it would be more appropriate to let herself, who is good at it, do it.

So, Shirou stayed to repair the archery club until night.

The sky was dark, and at this moment, the sound of fighting came from outside.

I don’t know when it started, but two people wearing strange clothes appeared in the school.

One of them is holding a double blade (yes, this is an archer) and wearing a handsome red long coat, while the gun-wielding warrior opposite is wearing a blue close-fitting combat uniform.

This fight is extremely dazzling.

The two people went back and forth, fighting countless times in just a few seconds.

The sound of clashing swords and guns broke the tranquility in the night sky.

The collision of the two people's power also sparked terrible sparks on the campus.

very scary……

Emiya Shirou thought.

What on earth is this?

It doesn't look like a human battle at all.

Although Shirou was more than forty meters away from the two servants, Shirou's instinct still told him that once he escaped, he would be discovered immediately and be stabbed from behind with a spear.

Shirou was in a dilemma, desperately trying to stop himself from making a sound.

Just when the blue spearman was about to kill the melee archer with a killing blow, he noticed Shirou's breath from forty meters away.

…

Emiya Shirou ran as hard as he could.

What locations can I choose among schools?

Seeing this scene, Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but become nervous.

In the end, I chose a library at random, so it should be fine, right?

So Emiya Shirou hid in the library.

"What happened just now..."

Emiya sat on the ground in shock, panting heavily.

Just then, a face appeared next to him.

"Yo."

The red eyes of the blue spearman suddenly appeared, startling Yamada Masaharu.

hateful!

Who are you trying to scare to death? !

"You run pretty fast, but forget it, since you saw it, just go and die."

Before the spearman finished speaking, the spear in his hand was already swung out.

This battle was not triggered at all, and there was a plot kill directly.

Pfft...

A spear penetrated from Emiya Shirou's chest.

The blood dispersed immediately.

The entire screen also dimmed.

What? !

Yamada Masaharu's heart tightened.

died? !

Can you believe that the male protagonist died like this? !

…
