The Endless Shuttle

The symptoms of Jack the Ripper are very simple and easy to manage. The magic power is overdrawn, if there is no magic power, just replenish the magic power. Kemeizuru Ayako, as an ordinary person he had repeatedly confirmed just now, unless he squeezed his own vitality, would not be able to produce magic power, the energy needed by followers.

Of course, he would not specifically tell Mizuru Ayako about these trivial matters.

Maybe this silly girl will squeeze her own life to save Jack, which will make Rope turn the cart before the horse.

——He helped Jack because of his affection for Ayako Mizuru.

However, the dryness of mana...

Luo Pei looked at the comatose white-haired young girl in Mizuru Ayako's arms, and her expression gradually became subtle.

Chapter 56 Supplement of magic power is also necessary

At midnight, there was a light rain in Fuyuki City.

Braving the pattering rain, Luo Pei and Mizuru Ayako came to the girl's other residence.

As she said, this is an old house that Meixiu's family doesn't come to very often. The duplex Japanese-style building, after opening the door, there is a stale smell of tatami mats, and Luo Pei can even see the white spider webs on the ceiling.

This certainly does not testify to the history of the house.

If I had known this earlier, I might as well go kill people and rob houses... Luo Pei muttered to himself.

But now that he's here, it's useless to talk about it, he's still so hypocritical.

Luo Pei put the rain-soaked suit on the hanger in the room, found a clean place and sat down, resting one hand on the window sill and watching the rain outside the window boredly.

After a while, Mizuru Ayako returned to the living room.

"Is it settled?"

"Um."

In stark contrast to Luo Pei who doesn't regard herself as an outsider at all, Mizuru Ayako in a pink coat is sitting in front of him, looking very restrained.

"It looks like she's in pain..."

"Of course." Luo Pei laughed: "Magic power is as important to Servants as blood is to humans. If a person loses a lot of blood, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible to be fine, right?"

The girl didn't answer, she lowered her eyes with a complex expression.

"Holy Grail War, Magicians, Heroic Spirits... involved in such unbelievable incidents, I thought it was just a fiction in a TV show."

On the way here, Rope had already told Mizuru Ayako about the magician and the Holy Grail War in detail.

"Everything has an origin. Maybe those original fantasy writers opened up the space for human imagination after witnessing the real mystery." Luo Pei said.

"Compared to this, Miss Ayako Mizuru, what are your plans now?"

"……Intend?"

"About your Servant, Jack Berserker." Rope looked into the girl's brown eyes.

"Due to some of my personal reasons, I can reluctantly help you in a small area without any compensation, including treating Berserker, and even turning a blind eye to you from the standpoint of the master. But Ms. Mizuru Ayako, as As I said before, the Holy Grail War is a war between seven masters and seven heroic spirits to compete for the final cup of omnipotence. If you choose to keep the Servant, many unpredictable troubles will happen in the follow-up. It is like the Berserker-level heroic spirit Crazy personality, look at your command spell, Jack has already caused you trouble, right?"

The girl's expression became flustered.

It has to be said that according to the similarity between the girl and the two rituals, it is also a very fresh and interesting experience to see the expression on Mizuru Ayako that would never appear in the two rituals.

After a long silence, Mizuru Ayako opened her mouth with difficulty.

"Thank you very much for your help and reminder, Mr. Rope, but I still want to help that child. It's not for the Holy Grail, it's just... I don't want to act ungrateful because of fear."

Asking the girl to give up the person who desperately protects herself, Mizuru Ayako asks herself, she can't do it.

"So, are you ready to bear the lives of others?"

"Other...life?" Mizuru Ayako was stunned.

Then she suddenly remembered what the green-haired hero said when they first met.

——"You let that guy kill ordinary people who have nothing to do with hunting, you must be the same."

Hunting ordinary people... Carrying the lives of others... I have no magic power... Human life can be transformed into magic power... Jack needs magic power to maintain the world...

The information was connected together, and Ayako Mizuru, who was already very smart, understood why Jack had a conflict with the green-haired hero in the first place, and also understood the inexplicable killing intent of the green-haired hero towards her.

There was a bone-chilling chill all over the girl.

It wasn't because of the rain outside the window, but because she finally knew what the girl who called her "Mom" and tried to protect herself did.

"It seems that you understand. You only know that your Servant is called Jack, but as a well-known figure in history, do you know her prefix?"

"... what is it?"

"You must have heard of it."

Lopez laughed, and slowly told Mizuru Ayako the truth about Berserker.

"The British Kingdom in 1888 filled London with fear, and it was also the most famous serial killer of that era——Jack the Ripper!"

"..."

Of course Ayako Mizuru mentioned the name "Jack the Ripper".

That has become one of the famous unsolved cases in the world. Even the advanced technology cannot deduce the true identity of the murderer at that time, a mysterious killer.

However, what makes Ayako Mizuru unimaginable is——

"That child is Jack the Ripper...?!" She murmured in despair.

"Perhaps the real history is partially distorted, but she is undoubtedly Jack the Ripper." Rope said lightly: "This kind of existence similar to anti-heroes will adopt their usual methods when the Master's magic power is weak, using other people It also proves that if you choose to save her, sacrificing others will inevitably happen."

He said the murder words quite casually, nothing unusual at all.

To put it bluntly, Jack's hunting in order to maintain his magic power can only be regarded as pediatrics in his eyes. Just as people need to eat when they are hungry, it is the same for Jack.

Besides, although Ropey's Avosta in the Godslayer world is not considered "hands-on", but because of that part of memory, the lives of nearly 70,000 innocent people can be counted on him, which is not enough. Counting the coastal cities that were affected by the battle with the "Holy King" Rama, the combined cost of the two would cost more than 100,000 people.

In comparison, how many murderers in Wudu can be killed including hunting in this world? Even the fraction of people he slaughtered in the last world is far from enough.

In the final analysis, less than half of the reason why Luo Pei was able to say this was his personal affection for Mizuru Ayako, and the other half was probably because of neurotic bad taste.

Hearing this, the girl gripped the edge of her jeans so tightly that her fingers turned white.

"... Mr. Luo Pei, is there no way not to hurt other people's lives?"

"Um?"
