Chapter 19 Street Cleaning Master
Broly kicked the sea monster to pieces again, but he began to get a little annoyed. These strange creatures would move no matter how he kicked them, and they would even regenerate on their own.
Just as Broly raised his little hand, aiming at a sea monster that was recovering, preparing to bombard the thing with an energy blast.
"Forget about these familiars. The person controlling them is over there. You have to take down the controller before you can deal with these guys."
Kiritsugu Emiya walked to the side, raised his hand and pointed at Caster over there, speaking to this terrifyingly powerful child.
Broly looked in the direction he pointed and saw more sea monsters, so he pointed his little hand in that direction as well.
But Artoria was still fighting the sea monster over there. She cleaved open the sea monster's body, revealing her fleeting figure.
A notification appeared in my mind: [Target detected: Artoria, current happiness level: 0]
This made Broly put his hand down.
"Bang!"
The barefoot feet crushed the concrete, and the resulting shockwave caused a nearby man to fall flat on his backside.
"Damn it~"
Just as Artoria was about to swing her sword and cut down another sea monster that was approaching, a petite figure rushed over first and kicked the sea monster into pieces.
Upon landing, Broly leaped up and delivered another flying knee strike, shattering another sea monster's head into pieces. He raised his hand to block a sea monster's swung tentacle, then effortlessly grabbed the entire monster, swung it around in mid-air like a tilted windmill, and the cracking sounds echoed continuously. In this way, the sea monster horde around Artoria was cleared out.
This series of actions was somewhat flashy, but it actually happened in an instant. Artoria thought that a Servant had come to help, and after thanking him, she realized that the person who landed next to her was just a little boy who only reached her waist.
"You bear the scent of my magic. You're the one who killed my Master, Ryunosuke Uryu?"
Gildre sensed his own magical aura emanating from Broly and immediately asked a question.
"Ryunosuke Uryu?"
Broly frowned slightly. He hadn't heard of the name before, but if we're talking about killing someone, there was indeed someone other than these strange creatures that he had kicked to death today. And the guy who was kicked to death was the bastard who caused his other deskmate's wife's happiness level to drop.
Broly grew increasingly angry at the thought of the happiness points (happy water) he had lost. Coupled with the fact that Fujimura Taiga's happiness points had just dropped, he directly raised his little hand towards Gildre, who had spoken.
"What are you doing?"
Artoria didn't understand the boy's actions, and Gildrei didn't quite understand either, but Broly's displayed strength was indeed terrifying. He quickly retreated back into the sea monster horde, and he also quickly cast various enhancement spells, empowering the surrounding sea monsters.
"Why hurt my friends and take away my happiness?"
Broly asked the question.
"What?"
Gildre didn't understand what he meant.
"Disappear."
Broly answered his question with an energy blast.
Gildre, who came for revenge, was instantly annihilated by the dazzling energy blast unleashed by Broly. His magical resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely meaningless. The energy blast continued its relentless advance, wiping out most of the remaining sea monster army and continuing to bombard them.
Assassin, hiding in the shadows of the street, was incredibly unlucky. Before he could even react, he was caught in the blast of a terrifying energy beam and wiped out.
The entire street was cleared, and everywhere you could see was empty, except for the scorching air and some sea monsters on the other side of the energy blast's attack direction. Since there was no magic to support their dissipating bodies, it proved that the vanished sea monster army was not an illusion.
"..."
Artoria was closest to the source and felt it most clearly. The energy blast released by Broly gave her a feeling that it was no less powerful than the fully unleashed power of her own Noble Phantasm.
With the enemy defeated, Broly's anger subsided. He turned to look at the Knight King beside him, and Artoria instinctively tensed up. However, her guard was met only with the boy's small hand.
"Hello, I'm Broly."
Broly introduced himself, explaining that introducing oneself to strangers was a basic courtesy he had learned since coming to the civilized world.
"King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon."
Broly's non-hostile demeanor quickly made Artoria lower her guard as well. She put down the invisible holy sword and reached out to shake hands with the boy.
"Shake hands, my friend. This means that from now on, you will be my best friend."
Broly said earnestly that this was new knowledge that Rin Tohsaka had taught him that evening.
"Huh?!"
Broly's words surprised Artoria, but seeing the boy's serious expression and the fact that he had just helped her out of a difficult situation, she did not refuse.
To be honest, Artoria never had any friends. As a queen, she had subordinates and comrades-in-arms, but no friends.
What, you mean Merlin?
That was her teacher, the one who taught her swordsmanship and the art of governing a country.
After meeting another wife, Broly returned.
Looking at the empty streets and then at the boy walking back with a normal expression, the Fujimura group members subconsciously stepped back.
Those sea monsters are monsters, but isn't the boy who wiped out a large group of sea monsters and cleared out the entire street by unknown means a monster among monsters?
It's normal for people to fear what they don't understand. Only when Fujimura Taiga saw Broly return did he take the initiative to greet him: "Broly, you were such a capable kid before!"
The boy had just stepped out and kicked one monster at a time, just like in a movie. When he rushed over there, although he didn't know what had happened, a bright green light suddenly appeared, and then the monsters and the guy controlling them disappeared. Even the whole street was clean. It was so cool!
Please forgive me, but Fujimura Taiga is still in middle school and has always fantasized about being a chivalrous and highly skilled ronin samurai. So, he was naturally excited after witnessing power that transcended the ordinary.
Of course, she also had the ability to discern danger. While others who didn't know Broly retreated, she didn't think Broly would harm her, so she took the initiative to come forward. She was both surprised and fond of Broly because Broly had saved her grandfather and the other members of the Fujimura group.
"By the way, what was that green light just now?"
After examining Broly's body and confirming that he was unharmed except for some monster blood, Fujimura Taiga asked him questions.
"It's an energy blast."
Broly answered honestly.
"How did you do that?"
Taiga Fujimura asked.
"It's about gathering your energy and concentrating it in your hands."
As Broly spoke, he raised his little hand to show it, and as his little hand emitted a green light, the group of people quickly scattered far away.
Just kidding, the streets over there are still empty as far as the eye can see, nobody wants to be evaporated into thin air like those monsters.
"Wow, that's amazing! Can I touch it?"
As Fujimura Taiga asked, he reached out as if he wanted to touch the energy blast that Broly had condensed in his hand.
"You're too weak, you can't touch me, you'll get hurt."
Broly quickly absorbed the energy from the energy blast into his body. Even he could now clearly recognize the weakness of the people in this world.
He doesn't care about others, but he can't hurt the people who are good to him. Among those people he can't hurt, Fujimura Taiga, who feeds him, clothes him, bathes him, and even provides him with bedding to sleep in, is ranked number one.
"Okay, I am indeed too weak."
Seeing the boy's impressive display of skill, Fujimura Taiga had to admit it. Then, she pinched her nose and looked at Broly with some disdain, saying, "You smell like fish, you need to take another bath."
Broly sniffed himself and found that it was true. The sea monster's blood, after being left out for a while, had a fishy smell that was unique to seafood. It was certainly not as bad as the bodily fluids of the Vampira Spider. But now that Broly had tried to be a clean child, he frowned slightly.
"I'll take you to take a bath."
Fujimura Taiga picked up Broly and prepared to walk into the Fujimura mansion.
She was covered in sweat from the panic just now.
"Wait a minute, I have something else to say."
"What did you say?"
"Put me down first."
Fujimura Taiga put Broly down, and then the boy ran over to someone else's Hummer. Under the watchful eye of a man named Emiya Kiritsugu, he reached out to Irisviel, who had red eyes and white hair, and said, "Hello, my name is Broly."
"Uh, I'm Alice, what can I do for you?"
The android woman, who had only been created and had only nine years of actual life experience, responded to his self-introduction, reached out and shook his small hand, and then asked.
"You are my best friend."
After completing the process of getting to know his wife, Broly left those words and ran back to Fujimura Taiga's side.
They were left standing there, completely bewildered.
"What happened to that child?"
Irisviel asked, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"have no idea."
Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head, completely unaware that his wife was being targeted.
"But one thing is certain: he is not a Servant, he has no magical power, and he is not a magician."
"So what exactly is he?"
"I don't know, but the word 'monster' would probably be a fitting description for this kind of being."
"Will he pose a threat to us?"
Kiritsugu Emiya remained silent, still unsure of the situation. However, he realized that he might actually have been caught up in the conflict tonight, after learning about Caster's conversation with the boy from Artoria.
Should we relocate our base?
"Without a third safe house prepared, it's better to stay here and wait for the right opportunity than to move around randomly."
After taking a deep look at the boy who had been taken back to the Fujimura residence by Fujimura Taiga, Emiya Kiritsugu said something and drove the Hummer, which was missing half a door, back to the original residence.
"I'm going to see the power of their Caster-destroying technique."
After sending Irisviel back, Kiritsugu Emiya came out again, wanting to check on the situation at the end of the street.
This journey covered more than three kilometers. At the end of the three-kilometer energy blast's destructive power, Kiritsugu Emiya saw a burly man driving a chariot pulled by oxen, with a handsome young man beside him.
Who else could it be but Rider and his Master?
"Master..."
Artoria stepped forward from behind, watching the Riders warily.
"Yo, King of Knights, good evening."
Iskandar greeted him.
"You made quite a commotion tonight."
He said.
"This is not..."
Artoria was interrupted by Kiritsugu Emiya before she could finish speaking.
"Caster is causing us trouble again; we have no choice but to fight back."
"That's true. I just didn't expect that the Knight King, whose left hand was injured, could still unleash such power. It was a bit presumptuous of me to say last night that she was just a little girl."
The Conqueror King took the initiative to apologize, saying that power doesn't represent everything, but possessing power proves that Artoria is not a little girl.
"Rider, did you come here just to tell my servant this, or do you intend to take this opportunity to attack us?"
"Saber's Master, although I know you're trying to provoke me into not attacking, my refusal to attack has absolutely nothing to do with your strategy. A king's battle should be fair and square, and I have no intention of taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
Iskandar said this to Kiritsugu Emiya, then looked at Artoria: "King of Knights, I look forward to the moment of our final battle. Also, congratulations on your great victory tonight."
After saying this, Iskandar the Conqueror drove off with his young Master, and this reaction gave Kiritsugu Emiya an idea.
"What? You want to claim credit for eliminating Caster? No, I disagree. I wasn't the one who eliminated Caster."
Back at the mansion, Artoria directly expressed her rejection of Kiritsugu Emiya's idea.
Claiming credit for someone else's achievements is, for a knight, a disgrace to his own code of chivalry.
It's important to know that among the eight virtues of a knight are integrity and honor.
"I know what you mean, but the problem is, the person who eliminates Caster is neither a Master nor a Servant. He might not even have anything to do with the Holy Grail Ritual. And the bounty on Caster is for the Master who participates in the Holy Grail."
"But that's no excuse for taking credit for someone else's work."
"Listen, Saber, you did not claim credit for yourself. Although you were not the one who destroyed Caster, you were the only Servant who participated in the battle to destroy Caster tonight. According to the rules, we are qualified to receive the Command Seal with the bounty."
"But this..."
"Don't worry, I will tell the Church the truth about how Caster was dealt with. As for whether the Church acknowledges our actions against Caster, that's their business."
. . . .
"Last night, our forces were attacked by Caster and his sea monster army. With the assistance of our Servant Saber, Caster and his sea monster army were destroyed by a powerful force."
Yes, this is Saber's Master's report on the battle with Caster last night. It has been confirmed that Caster was destroyed, and the terrifying beam of light that almost pierced through the old city was also captured by the street surveillance cameras.
Even one of the Assassins my son sent to scout the situation was caught in the crossfire and was annihilated before any detailed battle reports could be sent."
Kotomine Ryou was discussing the situation with Tohsaka Tokiomi through the phonograph, a magic prop, mainly about whether or not to issue the bounty command.
