Abnormal Moon

"As you know, the reason the world is the way it is now is ultimately the Greater Grail. The Greater Grail created by our three families was cursed by someone with the wish to destroy the world, which led to this result."

"To the humans of this world, we three families are a cancer, owing the world too much. I grew up with this thought since I was a child, so my greatest wish is to make the world go back to how it used to be."

"However, the Greater Grail can't be used to make wishes right now, right? So, I'm thinking, is it possible to restore the Greater Grail to its former state where it could make wishes, and then restore the world to its original state? That's my biggest wish!"

"If that's not possible, then destroy the Greater Grail! Prevent the possibility of a disaster like the one ten years ago happening again. This is the second-best option."

From a young age, Rin Tohsaka has felt a heavy sense of guilt towards the world and over six billion people for being a member of the three starter families.

If it weren't for those three families, the world wouldn't be like this, and over six billion people wouldn't have died.

The guilt I feel towards more than six billion people is unimaginably heavy.

Rin Tohsaka grew up under such psychological torment and even torture.

Therefore, she cherishes the lives of the more than 200,000 people in Fuyuki City.

No matter what, she must eliminate the corrupted Servants who threaten the safety of Fuyuki City, and she absolutely cannot stand idly by while a Servant battle that may occur in Fuyuki City and threaten the safety of its citizens takes place.

"This is the first time I've heard your true thoughts."

Roy nodded in agreement.

This is the real Rin Tohsaka.

Even though she was young and didn't understand anything at the time, and even though the real culprit was that stupid idiot who wished to destroy the world with the Greater Grail, Rin Tohsaka still felt guilty about it. This is the kind of feeling a person should have.

No wonder she's the waifu that so many people adore in the world of anime.

Of course, he was one of them in his previous life.

"However, I guess you probably don't know Archer's real name."

"...Wow, is this some kind of brilliant strategy, or did you get a script?"

Rin Tohsaka stared at him in disbelief.

"Haha, don't worry about the details!"

Roy pushed up his glasses and laughed.

"But I know his real name. Do you want me to call him out? I also have something I want to ask him. I might as well tell you his real name, how about that?"

Chapter 41 The Mystery Remains

"Archer."

Rin Tohsaka remained silent for a long while.

After hesitating for a while, she still ordered Archer to appear.

Archer, dressed in a red coat, appeared next to Rin Tohsaka, looking at Roy with a sullen expression.

No.

Who are you?

Why are you always involved in every incident?

Don't look at me like that.

Roy smiled slightly.

"Let me guess, when you were summoned by Rin Tohsaka, did you say you had amnesia and blame it on Rin Tohsaka's summoning error?"

"Well!"

Archer, wearing the red coat, was visibly startled, and his expression became even more gloomy.

Rin Tohsaka was also dumbfounded.

How did you know?

No.

You really did get the script, didn't you?

Roy nodded secretly.

Although the timeline has been completely altered, some events are unaffected by the timeline.

Rin Tohsaka probably didn't open the Serpent's Sheath, a relic left by Tokiomi Tohsaka, until the Holy Grail War began. As a result, she didn't use it at all, which affected the clock in her house, causing her to summon Archer an hour earlier.

Red A used this as an excuse to claim that he had lost his memory.

There are Servants who have lost their memories.

But I will never forget this trivial reason.

"Archer, what are your thoughts on this world?"

Ignoring their shock, Roy seized the opportunity to ask Red A a question.

"What do you mean?"

Red A crossed his arms and looked at Roy with a suspicious expression.

"So, from the perspective of 'Is it normal for the world to have become like this?', what are your thoughts?"

"...It's clearly not normal."

Red A remained silent for a moment before helplessly shrugging his shoulders.

"Because it's completely different from the history you know?"

"Who are you?"

"Don't worry about the details. Just think of me as someone who accidentally obtained some information about a parallel world."

What do you mean by accidentally obtaining information from a parallel world?

That's such a flimsy excuse.

Red A looked completely incredulous.

However, he was also very concerned about the current state of the world, so it wasn't impossible for him to cooperate with Roy.

"This place is indeed completely different from the history I know."

Archer was lost in memories. "Originally, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, although the black mud containing those malicious forces was born, a man named Kiritsugu Emiya managed to contain the disaster within a very small scope by destroying the Lesser Grail."

"But in this world, someone ultimately came into contact with the Holy Grail and wished to destroy the world, or perhaps destroy human society. Kiritsugu Emiya, however, has vanished..."

Rin Tohsaka listened intently from the side.

Although the conversation was fast-paced, she, being naturally intelligent, quickly grasped the underlying logic.

At the same time, she also realized something else.

That is, Red A didn't lose his memory at all!

He was just lying to her!

And she actually fell for it!

"Yes, this is where the world diverges from the normal world line."

Roy nodded in agreement.

In the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kiritsugu Emiya mysteriously disappeared, and a certain madman took his place and won the final victory.

During the day, he asked Illya for confirmation, but Illya had no idea who Emiya Kiritsugu was.

Perhaps Kiritsugu Emiya never participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War at all.

Actually, thinking about it this way, it's not hard to guess who that idiot who wished to destroy the world by praying to the Holy Grail was.

"But do you think that's all there is to the changes in the world?"

But then, Roy's tone suddenly shifted, becoming inexplicably sharp.

"What do you want to say?"

Red A narrowed his eyes.

The group walked towards the location of the corrupted Caster.

The hill was visibly getting closer and closer to them.

"You are not a Heroic Spirit from the Gaia side, but a guardian from the Human side."

Roy pointed out something else, something that many people have overlooked.

"Then you should have thought of that too. From the perspective of Alaya, the collective consciousness of humanity, would you allow the global human population to decline sharply? The moment Alaya sensed this possibility, it should have sent down a guardian like you to shoot that big idiot who wished to destroy the world dead with an arrow, right?"

The restraining force of the Type-Moon world is manifested in every aspect.

They might be carefully selected heroic spirits sent here.

It could also be just an inconspicuous passerby.

These types of characters always manage to get caught up in certain events and manage to thwart the villain's carefully crafted plans.

With such a diligent and effective deterrent force, the world could not have been ravaged by a mere World War IV.
