Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Dad: "Don't jump to conclusions until the very end, Doctor."

"Assassin, you really love pets. So cute. I forgive you."

[Sajō Aika looked at the girl and said, "But you can't."]

Is it still impossible to escape...?

"Please wait a moment."

[Dad appeared at this moment: "Lord Aigo, that girl is probably not suitable to be a sacrifice."]

[Sajō Aika: "Oh, first Assassin, and now you? It seems that child is important to everyone."]

[Dad: "How could that be? My concern is that this girl's fears are too great. Perhaps they will cast a shadow on the purity of the Greater Grail."]

[Sajō Aika: "...You should understand. If you remove one, you have to replace it. Is the replacement ready?"]

[Dad: "Yes, ma'am."]

And so, it ended.

[The girl's memory ends here. When she wakes up again, she is back behind the shopping street.]

[Of course, afterwards a group of strange cultists came and questioned her.]

Gina: "Did we escape unscathed?"

Blonde Rin: "What's so special about this girl that Caster would protect her?"

Dad: "Hehe, it was just a whim."

Blonde Rin: "Shut up, riddle teller! If you don't want to talk, then don't!"

Ilya: "It feels like the Church of Christ is like the police in a movie, only showing up after the fact."

Hier/Liz Byf: "..."

[A vast, hollow space beneath Tokyo.]

[Sajō Aika, accompanied by her loyal servant Caster, admired the silent, mud-like lump of flesh as if it were a cherished treasure or a beloved pet.]

Behold, that 'it' writhing underground is a high-density collection of the darkness of this world.

【It is longing, it is desire, and it is also a vessel that holds the longing of countless people and a vast number of souls.】

"...a false Holy Grail."

[Just as Caster has gathered information so far, the 'it' before him is not the miraculous device that the Holy Church and the Mage's Association claim.]

I've heard that it was a cardinal who brought out this Holy Grail.

[A relic belonging to the highest level of miracles. A counterfeit of the 'Cup' that bears the blood of the savior; a replica of the Holy Grail.]

Weber: "It's... a counterfeit!"

Kiritsugu Emiya: "It seems that the Holy Grail War in this world was a hoax from the very beginning."

Amakusa Shiro: "Hmph, this is playing with fire."

These modern magicians are really overestimating themselves. Do they think they're demon kings, trying to conjure up the Holy Grail with their bare hands?

Now they've created a huge bomb, putting the whole world on a knife's edge!

[Originally, the Greater Grail could not be truly activated without offering the souls of all seven Heroic Spirits. However, by providing a large number of living sacrifices equivalent to the number of the spirits of one Heroic Spirit, the Greater Grail will activate.]

However, what was fulfilled after the ritual was initiated was not the wish of the ritual participants.

From the very beginning—

This container is not a wish-granting machine.

However, Ayaka Sajou already knew this.

Kaules: "Can't make a wish? Then what's the Holy Grail for?"

Weber: "(With a dark expression) I'm afraid it's either summoning or training."

Koles: "Summon? What does he want to summon?"

Weber: "Who knows..."

Thinking of the big red dragon mentioned at the beginning of yesterday's video, he immediately had a bad feeling.

[Sajō Aika: "Hey, you fake Holy Grail. No, you're an egg. A cute, jet-black egg that struggled to be born into the world."]

[Dad: "Is it an egg...?"]

According to his magical interpretation, this darkness is the eggshell of a fledgling waiting to open its eyes, a cradle within which dreams rock. When the seven heroic spirits are offered up, the eggshell will surely crack.

At that time, spirit origins that have never existed before will be born into the world.

[This is different from the summoning of Heroic Spirits.]

[The 'thing' that crawls out of the Holy Grail will likely, as the name suggests, take on flesh and be born.]

Weber: "It's training?!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "What is this thing? It looks somewhat like the evil of this world, but something is not right."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "Because this is not contamination, but birth."

Demon King: "Hehehehehehehehehehe—"

Demon King: "So, this is just the beginning... Hehehe, hahaha! This is hilarious!"

Demon King: "This is humanity! Humans who have led themselves down the path of destruction!"

Rin Tohsaka: "What are you talking about? Do you even know what this is?"

Demon King: "Heh heh, you should find out for yourselves. Go and see the evil consequences of your own actions!"

Although Feng Xi fought the Demon King nine years ago, the Demon King's identity as the Beast was not exposed. Feng Xi, Fu Xi, and the newly joined Merlin also tacitly agreed not to mention this matter.

Chapter 519 Beast, Humans Who Are Doing Something Incredibly Wrong

What will ultimately result?

[Even Dad couldn't guess the answer, so he had to ask the owner.]

What would you awaken in order to help your beloved achieve their goals?

[Sajō Aika didn't answer immediately, but instead led Bean Dad to the abyss like this.]

[Dad had no objection to this.]

[Both I and Assassin will eventually become prey for 'it,' writhing in this darkness. Even if that moment arrives earlier, at this very moment, it doesn't matter.]

He was ready to give everything to his master.

No. It should be said that all things in the world were originally nothing more than the possessions of our Lord.

The Great Hero: "...Caster, you're really loyal."

Dad: "Hehe, I still stand by what I said, this child is worth it."

[Sajō Aika: "Cardinal, you've made a grave mistake."]

[Dad: "No one knows this world as well as you, Aige-sama."]

[Sajō Aika: "You've gone so far as to be ridiculously wrong? The Cardinal believes that once the Holy Grail is activated, it will summon a high-ranking being."]

[Dad: "...An angel?"]

[Sajō Aika: "No. That's not right."]

[Even as the darkness pulsates more intensely in response, it still smiles.]

"This child is a Beast."

She didn't explain the meaning of the name, but Dad's eyes widened, and beads of sweat trickled down his face.

This feeling is a shiver.

Even in his lifetime, when he severely violated the rules of magic concealment in order to popularize magic knowledge, he remained calm when facing the assassins sent by the Clock Tower. But now—

"Bang!!!"

The magicians in the group immediately went wild.

Weber: "It's...it's the Beast!"

Waver: "I'd thought about Warcraft, evil gods, but I never imagined it would be the Beast..."

Aozaki Aoko: "Sajō Aika, has this woman gone mad?!"

Aozaki Aoko: "No, it must be that the Mage's Association and the Holy Church in that world have gone mad, actually cultivating something like this!"

Kenneth: "It was probably an accident. They wouldn't dare do something like that..."

Koles: "Um, teacher, what exactly is Beast? Isn't it a monster?"

Weber: "Hoo (takes a deep drag on his cigar)..."

Second Prince: "Sigh, let me explain."

The Second: "The so-called Beast, also known as the Beast of Original Sin, is a great calamity rejected by human history, and is also called human evil."

Second: "Human evils are so great that they threaten human history and destroy humanity. They are born from human civilization and grow stronger with human development, but they destroy civilization from within, like cancer cells."
