Stray Chapter 20: A few happy and some sad
The latest news about Fuyuki City's recent explosiveness will probably become the current affairs hotspot that occupies the top of the list these days. Of course, it is natural—
The Fuyuki Seaside Park near the estuary of Weiyuan River and near the west bank has been completely destroyed last night due to a gas leak and explosion, leaving only a piece of debris that looks like a typhoon has passed.
Because the movement was too great at that time, many citizens who took advantage of the location and distance also witnessed the terrible destruction caused by the gas explosion.
Including the cloud pillar that connects to the sky...
A giant storm spiral visible to the naked eye...
The endless thunderstorms are like raindrops...
Although it didn't last too long.
wtf? Are you kidding me?
This terrifying phenomenon is said to be something that a mere natural gas explosion can do? Why don't you go to heaven? !
And isn't that the old town of Miyama Town on the west side? The public facilities are aging, the living environment is not good, the development and development are backward, and there is no comparison with the new capital on the east side, the highly modern new city that has everything... But how does it feel that in fact, Shenshan Town is completely used. Black technology!
You said it was because the nuclear power plant failed and leaked. Maybe some people believe it, but the natural gas explosion...isn't it too magical?
You have to be serious about being perfunctory. What's the difference between you and the IQ of Fuyuki City citizens being rubbed on the ground?
The citizens of Fuyuki City have a question mark on their faces. Although this natural disaster did not cause any casualties at all, it is indeed a matter worth bragging about purely from the results.
However, that's not the problem at all!
It's a pity that the era of this world is still 1994, not to mention the strange things such as magic and mystery, even the development of science and technology is still very backward.
For example, there are not so many smartphones in later generations. Everyone has one, and they can take pictures of what they see and put them on the tubing at any time. Even strictly speaking, it was this year that the first smartphone was launched. Just hit the market, and it's pretty rudimentary.
There are also various media and networks that are not as developed as the market outlook, so there are only a few people who really saw what happened last night, or called to inquire and complain.
Because the vast majority of people don't know what happened, they can only rely on hearsay to understand, and they don't necessarily believe those who know the truth, and they also feel that these statements are unreasonable, so they doubt it with reason. .
What? You said that last night, it was as if the **** of thunder came into the world, and the storm and thunder directly destroyed the seaside park?
Well, sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that you're so fake that it's hard for me not to doubt it.
What? You said last night, when you called to question yourself, the people on the other side said that the main reason for destroying the entire waterfront park was due to the gas leak of the mentally retarded, and then blew up a large waterfront park connected to the harbor. Go to heaven?
Sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, the main reason is that your statement is too insulting to my IQ. It's hard for me not to doubt it. After all, the people above may really be hiding something, but they shouldn't use such a mentally retarded reason. Come to perfunctory us!
Besides, I didn't call but I asked, only you said that you called, and there is no evidence to prove it, and there is no way to prove that the answer you got is such a statement, naturally what you say is up to you Well, anyway, I don't believe such a mentally retarded rumor...
—Well, that's probably what it looks like.
"The truth is in the hands of a few" and "the eyes of the masses are sharp", these two almost completely different and contradictory concepts, the polarization of the citizens of Fuyuki City is a matter of course and intensifies.
Well, in fact, it can't be said to be polarized, because since it is a minority, it is definitely impossible to fight against the majority, so the truth is naturally drowned in the waves, and there are thousands of people who can't argue.
Instead, there are all kinds of rumors, or reasonable conjectures——
Because of the exact fact that Fuyuki City Seaside Park did turn into ruins overnight, and that night, although most citizens did not witness it, they all heard the violent thunder and the muffled sound of destruction.
Before there was a statement that was enough to convince everyone and made a final decision, everyone was naturally curious and began to brainstorm, reverie, conspiracy theories... and then derived various theories.
Everyone has their own opinions and ideas. Some people think it's a prohibited weapons test, some people think it's an alien flying saucer landing on the earth, some people believe it's...
Anyway, there are all kinds of weird reasons. Even when the church was about to make up for the mistakes and omissions last night, it was stunned to find that they didn't need to worry about it at all.
The truth is simply inconspicuous in it, and no one will believe it, even if it is not dealt with.
What the hell? Are the psychological qualities and three views of the citizens of Fuyuki City so strong?
The church feels a little messy because of this, but it's obviously a good thing because they need to face a lot less stress and don't need to invest a lot of energy to deal with this problem... So happy decision Well, no matter what happens during the Holy Grail War, it's probably a gas explosion.
Anyway, it is a troublesome job to carefully devise reasonable and reasonable reasons for each completely different damage and loss. Now, it is natural that no one is unwilling to give up this part directly.
……
……
Compared to the church, which was a lot easier at once, the participants in the Holy Grail War each had their own troubles.
For example, the Tohsaka family, one of the three imperial families, in that luxurious mansion, since last night until now, the sounds of various smashing and explosions have not stopped. Painful to the flesh.
Not only is the mana consumption a bit high, but also because he drew a card and pulled out a father, the equipment seems to be very powerful, but the person itself is not good, and the drag affects the performance of the equipment—
Obviously last night, at the last minute, I used a precious Command Spell to save my father from a near-death situation, but my father didn't appreciate him at all, and instead started smashing and smashing in the mansion. , yelled loudly.
Probably because of the humiliation and humiliation that I had suffered all night, not only did I fail to vent it, it turned into the anger of the king who violently killed the enemy, but I almost died in the hands of the opponent. To unprecedented humiliation and rage.
Unfortunately, Jinpika is still powerless, but his anger always has to be vented - if he really does nothing after being pulled back, he just accepts the facts quietly, summarizes the problem calmly and wisely, and thinks about countermeasures , and then try again...
Then he's not Glitter anymore.
Tohsaka Tokiomi's home will naturally suffer, but he doesn't dare to be angry or speak out. He can only run around to put out fires or repair magic knots after the noble and ancient king destroys them. world or something.
I'm so tired, I feel like I'll never be in love again... I always felt that there was something wrong with the character that I summoned such a father, but now Tokiomi Tosaka is beginning to doubt that such an immature person can really Is it a king?
He has always been a noble and noble person, but this one... It's really a pity, he can't see any noble elements at all, but he is both violent and vulgar, and he can't wait to spread the world about how noble his bloodline is. , is bluntly "hybrid" to anyone at every turn...
Tohsaka Tokiomi is a real high-class person. The education he has received all the time tells him that a person who is truly self-cultivation, self-cultivation and quality will not deliberately show off his wealth and status, only outbreaks The household will have such a face.
And Mr. Jin seems to be like this. Except for the inexplicable and unreasonable Noble Phantasm, he really can't see any noble king's demeanor from his entire body. If you put aside his equipment and throw him into the streets and alleys to refresh frequently, riding a motorcycle with dyed hair and nose rings, holding low-quality cigarettes, and swearing in the gangsters...
There really is no difference, and no one else can tell.
But what else can be done? The cannon that he had ordered, he had to finish it while kneeling... The elegant magician looked at the two Command Spells on the back of his hand with a very complicated expression. Strictly speaking, he actually only had the last right to use the Command Spells.
Because although the Great Holy Grail grants the Master a three-stroke Command Spell, it means that it can only be used three times at most. Exhausting the Command Spell will not end the contract between the Master and the Servant, but it also means that the Master can no longer force Heroic Spirits to execute orders.
It is quite dangerous to be unable to control a powerful Servant, and there is even a possibility of being killed by the Servant, so the number of times it is actually used is usually twice.
So, he suddenly realized that even though he had done so many things——
Including through the alliance with the Sanctuary Church, the overseer, through the grandfather's old friend Kotomine Risei, to learn the information and trends of each master, and thus gain an advantage in intelligence.
Interfere in the progress of the Fourth Holy Grail War through the Church as an intermediary.
Also, on the premise that Kotomine Kirei had obtained the stigmata, he arranged for Kotomine Kirei to become his own disciple. Then prepare to arrange parting ways, pretending to let the eliminated assassin collect intelligence secretly and assassinate others.
Obviously he started preparations at a very early stage before the Holy Grail War. If everything goes well in theory, he can quickly end the Holy Grail War and win the victory... But because he did everything possible to get the molt of the first snake in ancient times from the Mesopotamia , so that Gilgamesh was successfully summoned.
It seems like everything is going to be screwed up?
And the assassin died in the map cannon last night, plus the countless unreasonable Noble Phantasms that Jinpika showed last night, except for the unknown caster, it will definitely be targeted for focus fire The goal of...
Thinking about it like this made Tohsaka Tokiomi's head hurt even more.
Tohsaka Tokiomi is undoubtedly unfortunate. Compared with the various external and internal troubles he faces, and the huge pressure of being overwhelmed, the other contestants only need to consider the problem of external worries, that is, how to deal with the current problems. The problem of out-of-spec opponents.
