I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Shinji's strange attitude made Sakura a little suspicious - could it be that this playboy brother has ever provoked female heroic spirits?

"Brother, what happened between you and Rider?"

"If there is nothing wrong with my memory, I should have never met Master's brother and have no memory of him."

Medusa, who had been silent since she appeared, spoke, as cool as her appearance.

"Of course you won't have any memories of me, and nothing happened between us, but - do you think I look familiar to you?"

Hearing Shenji's question, Medusa pointed her blindfold at the boy in front of her - the blindfold is a treasure similar to the "Demon Eye Killer". It is used to seal the famous petrified evil eye in history and will not affect the normal life. vision.

"It seems—a little bit familiar."

"What about this?"

As Shinji said this, he smoothed his bangs upwards with his hands and carved an illusion rune to change his hair from blue to dark red.

"It looks more familiar." There was a hint of fluctuation in the voice.

"And what about these?"

As Shinji spoke, the "Scythe of the Snake Hunter" appeared in his left hand, and the "Shield of Athena" appeared in his right hand.

"This, this is-"

Medusa's cold image finally shattered, as if the iceberg turned into flames, and her body trembled.

"Brother, are these?"

Sakura covered her mouth in disbelief. She knew that her brother had many Noble Phantasms, and she also knew the legend of Medusa, but she had never asked about the real name of the Noble Phantasms, nor had she thought of connecting the two.

"Well, that's it." Shenji nodded with a wry smile, "'Snake Scythe', the weapon that killed Medusa. 'Athena's Shield', a treasure that blocks the petrified evil eye. The goddess Athena later took the beauty Dusha's head is mounted on the shield - so I don't know what attitude to use to face you."

To be honest, he never thought of summoning Medusa as his servant.

It's not because of lack of strength. Despite her poor performance in "Fate stay night", Medusa is actually very strong. The ultra-high attributes given by the monster's characteristics are second to none, and even more terrifying is the highest-ranking petrified evil eye 'Cybele', which is the same as Fujino's "twisted evil eye". In a battle with insufficient intelligence, One is negative and the other is accurate.

It’s not because Medusa has a personality problem and is difficult to get along with. On the contrary, Medusa can be said to be one of the easiest servants to get along with, and she also has many cute features. In Shinji's previous life, Medusa not only had a large number of fans, but also a large number of fan authors who re-created her. During her peak period, she once held the title of "King of Type Moon Books", and the number was extremely impressive - ahem, it seems to have been exposed What.

In short, Medusa can definitely get out of the hall, enter the kitchen, have good gums, can fight, run, and act cute. Most importantly, she is very obedient. She is definitely an ideal follower.

However, no matter how ideal a servant is, it is difficult to remain calm when seeing the Noble Phantasm that kills him, especially when these two Noble Phantasms are his nemesis, which is why Shenji is worried. He knew that Medusa had already accepted her ending, but it was one thing to accept the ending, but it was another thing to have someone holding the murder weapon that killed her in front of her.

"Are you - Perseus? No, you're not him."

Looking at the red hair she saw at the last moment of her life, looking at the sickle that cut off her head, looking at the shield with her head embedded in it, Medusa's voice was dry, and she leaned forward unconsciously, and soon He kept shaking his head, completely lacking in the demeanor of the Gorgon monster that slaughtered countless warriors back then.

"Indeed, I am not him, but you can regard me as his successor. The bloodline of the Matou family can be traced back to Perseus."

Shinji is Shinji, no one else, and he never wants to be anyone else. No matter what inheritance and gifts he received from Perseus, this is an irrefutable fact.

"When I was very young, I had contact with Perseus. These Noble Phantasms were given to me by him, and I had a glimpse of a corner of his life. He asked me to help me tell the two of them if I had the chance. I would like to apologize personally. One is Acrisios and the other is you."

Shinji lied here, Perseus left such a request, but this feeling was by no means false. If these enemies in life could see each other again, Perseus would definitely say sorry. Shinji, who had had spiritual contact with him, could tell that.

Acrisios, King of Argos and Perseus' maternal grandfather, was accidentally hit and killed by a discus thrown by Perseus during the games. Although there was a divine revelation before Perseus was born, saying that Perseus would kill his grandfather, and Acrisios exiled his daughter and infant grandson because of this, Perseus still This makes me sad.

As for Medusa, Perseus didn't think too much when he killed her. He just felt that it was a monster that had devoured countless lives, an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, and a target that he must defeat in order to save his mother. However, after learning about Medusa's experience, his mentality changed. He didn't regret killing Medusa, but he couldn't help feeling guilty.

There is no way, Perseus is such a person. To put it nicely, he is someone who attaches great importance to love and justice, but to say it worse, he is a good person who is overflowing with sympathy.

Medusa obviously knew this, and her reaction was the best evidence.

"Well, that man said such a thing. He is indeed the one who would do this. Because he is a brave man who only acts with good intentions. Although it is embarrassing, I have no resentment towards him personally and have no murderous intention. It would be better to say that I even I feel sorry for him, but I can’t say that to myself.”

"You are pitying him, and he is not pitying you. Anyone with some brains knows that it is not your fault, but Athena is unreasonable."

Shinji thinks so, and so does Sakura.

"That's right, that's right. When I read this legend, I felt it was unreasonable. Why can a goddess curse others at will?"

"Thank you, Master, and Master's brother."

Medusa smiled, very shallow and beautiful. Perhaps this is her original character, not a Gorgon monster, but just Medusa (Daughter of Dominance).

"Matou Shinji, just call me Shinji." Shinji said his name smoothly, "Medusa, no, Rider, and Sakura. No matter what plans I had in the past or who I planned to summon, that is all in the past. , now you have become masters and slaves, and companions. I hope you can respect each other, understand each other, trust each other, and support each other, and don't let the shadow of the past affect your current relationship."

The previous foreshadowing and explanation are all for this sentence. Whether it's the inertia of the world line or the compatibility between Sakura and Medusa, it doesn't matter. What matters is the current master-slave relationship and the upcoming war.

"I know, brother."

Sakura agreed immediately, and Medusa nodded silently, her long purple hair swaying slightly, looking like a pair of sisters.

"Rider, tell me about you. Do you really have two sisters, and that Perseus? Is he really as great as the legend says?"

"I do have two sisters, and they are both very good to me. And Perseus, haha ​​- I don't know if he is that great, but in my eyes, he is a coward."

"coward?"

"Well, he was shaking when he came near me."

"Huh?"

The two people's voices became softer and softer, and Shenji felt much more relaxed.

Although there were many accidents, it was a pretty good start, and then it was time to think about your own problems.

PS: Chapter 4 of FGO revealed that the insect master Matou Zangyan is related to the Demon God Pillar, which is Solomon. And Solomon is the king of Israel. Although it is a Jewish country, the Persians and the Jews have a long history and have always had a good relationship. It was not until modern times that things began to change, so it is not impossible to be selected by the Demonic Pillar.

PS2: Perseus’ eldest son Perses was born in Ethiopia. When Perseus and his wife left Ethiopia, King Cepheus kept him in preparation for his future succession to the throne. Later, he became the ancestor of the Persians, and the "Persian" among the Persians came from his name.

PS3: The traitor on Perseus’ side did a little cooking. According to FHA records, Perseus's shield is a mirror shield, which is just a pathfinder and has no other functions. Of course, that was during life. After death, the heroic spirits enjoy legendary bonuses. There is nothing wrong with this setting. After all, the satellite Perseus has not yet descended.

PS4: Perseus was indeed timid at the beginning, and the victorious version of the second master is not in vain.
