Chapter 175 Deal with Archer

"Hahahahahaha——!"

This contrasting picture made Roland laugh wildly, and he didn't stop until his breathing was disturbed by it.

"What, I don't know a follower who asks the enemy for forgiveness after failure."

Archer didn't answer the sarcasm, but lowered his head even lower.

"Please, please let them go. For this reason, I am willing to tell you all the truth. Since you have devoted so much effort to this Holy Grail War, then this news will definitely interest you, sir. The Holy Grail was actually polluted last time, and lost its original function a long time ago."

This is the secret that Archer kept in his heart. He knew that the other party might not believe it, but as long as he had this doubt, he would test it again, and the facts would prove everything.

But Roland's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"Of course I know, it's not as good as it is, I'm here for it."

Roland spread his hands and spoke with a relaxed tone as if he was talking about something unrelated to him.

"..."

Archer didn't say a word, and he was also stunned. Shouldn't he be the only one who knows the truth of this Holy Grail War?

This man calculated all the contestants, and even checked the status of the Great Holy Grail? Even so, he doesn't care about all of this?

But his biggest bargaining chip suddenly lost its value, and Archer was helpless.

But Roland took the initiative to speak at this time.

"Go on, please pray that I will agree to your request, you can't just prepare this one condition."

Of course there is more than one, Archer still has a bargaining chip that can be used, and that is the naive style he had before he grew up.

If there is a disaster that cannot be chosen, the first sacrifice will never be the one with more or the one with less.

—but himself.

"I can be your servant, no matter what you want to do, whether it is killing innocent people or destroying any forces, I can help you do it. With the ability of the hunter, I can help you wipe out all the enemies you don't want to fight yourself."

Archer's tone was so humble that he was about to fall into the dust. Roland couldn't see the shadow of the guardian on his body, and his blood-soaked hair fell down.

Changed back to the familiar look.

"In this respect my servant is much better than you,"

Facing Archer's slumped confession, Roland smiled lightly and said, "However, I'm really interested in your realization."

"The victory of this Holy Grail War is indeed doomed, so its value to me lies more in the process."

"It's like you attacked Kenneth and Tohsaka, and Kirei attacked you again. The fun brought about by this collision of wills is what drives me to be happy."

It can be seen from Archer's actions of giving up his self-esteem and dreams today, only seeking the safety of his family, that his transformation has been completed.

Originally, he lacked an opportunity to be influenced. Although he didn't meet his past self, the immature Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel were enough to catalyze him.

With such an archer, the purity of the fun is greatly improved.

Roland also wanted to see it, and issued an ultimatum.

"If you can bring me pleasure with this awareness, I will agree to your request."

Archer quietly clenched his fists.

This is a bad idea, in this world, Emiya Kiritsugu is the most trusted person, even Irisviel may not surpass him.

Because Irisviel accepted her husband's dream as a wife, if Kiritsugu didn't want to save the world, she wouldn't continue.

But Emiya Shirou really believed in it and became the successor of the partners of justice. Regardless of whether Emiya Kiritsugu gave up or failed, he had already devoted his whole life for it.

However, even if there is only one world line, he also wants his family to not have to bear the cursed fate of being full of heroes.

Illya can grow up normally, enjoy the campus, friends, Kiritsugu and Irisviel can stay together, and no longer live as props.

As for how much he has to pay, this is an irrelevant matter.

"How can I trust you?"

Archer stopped hiding his emotions and looked at Roland.

"I won't give you a guarantee, and you are not qualified to ask me to make a promise." Roland said frankly without any falsehood in his eyes: "However, when I feel fun, the life of a small person like Emiya Kiritsugu , I don't care, you should be very clear about this."

"What's more, if you don't agree now, there is no need to say what will happen."

Archer opened his eyes wide, took a deep breath, and remembered the path that Emiya Kiritsugu in his dream had to follow despite his father, master, and wife who was about to die.

In front of this road, there is only a wilderness as barren as his heart.

I will inherit your dream and do better than you, so, as a price, please satisfy my selfish request, and let me keep a memory that I will feel happy even after returning to the Hall of Valor.

"Then, the master of the caster stabbed the unsuspecting master with a knife and destroyed his dream of success. Would you be happy about this kind of tragedy?"

"Yes, but I've seen it once."

"In addition, the person who started the attack is the son who is his successor? When he realizes this, he will definitely have a ridiculous expression on his face?"

Roland slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

"Then I won't wait with expectation, but you have to hurry up."

Roland took Yuzao and disappeared into the shadows.

After the threat that was close at hand disappeared, Archer was finally able to use healing magic to barely stop the bleeding.

Although Roland left, Arhcer could still stand up on his knees.

From the corner of his eyes, there was blood or tears that slid down his cheeks.

In the end, he still achieves nothing.

Irisviel was not saved, and the next step was to kill his father's dream with his own hands.

But this is the best ending Archer can think of. Hisau Maiya is still there. As long as Emiya Kiritsugu can survive, the artificial people of Einzbern will not have the fighting power to resist him, and Illya can also get a good ending.

That's all he can do.

Archer sighed and let out a sound that he didn't know whether it was a wail or a laugh.

"Want to change the world by saying something beautiful, dream of a perfect ending, and repeat useless efforts in vain, Emiya Shirou, you are such a jerk."

He stood up clutching his chest, followed the contract and looked into the distance.

"So, bastard, it's time to do what a bastard should do."

If you can't save others, let yourself bear the tragedy on behalf of others. This is Shiro Emiya's consistent practice.

"Goodbye, father, and my cowardice."
