"Name?"
"Su Yu."
"Gender?"
"… Female."
"Age?"
"I don't know."
"Family relationship?"
"What's that … Is the former master considered a family member? If so, go and catch that man called Tatsuji Omiya."
In the interrogation room of Scepter4,
The handcuffed girl leaned lazily against the back of the chair.
Her face was still a little young, but it was so exquisite that it took people's breath away. Her lips were light pink like cherry blossoms.
She had a small and upright nose bridge, and a pair of eyes that were half open but still astonishingly beautiful.
Her pitch-black hair was casually draped behind her back.
It made her exposed skin look even more sparkling and fair.
Therefore, even though the girl's expression was faintly unruly,
The people in the interrogation room had no way of connecting her with the suspect of a major anti-social crime case.
Such an exquisite and beautiful girl,
How could she burn down the entire New City District? Because the incident happened in the middle of the night, the densely packed residents in the New City District were sleeping at home. Thousands of residents were killed in their sleep without knowing what happened. How vicious the perpetrator must be.
No matter how they thought about it, it wouldn't be the girl in front of them.
"Wei Gong Qisi … go and check this person's information first," someone behind the interrogation table said.
The person behind the interrogation room had a head of light blonde hair tied into a neat bun.
The woman with rimless glasses handed the information in her hand to the person beside her with a serious expression. Then, she turned to look at the girl across the table. "What's the former master?
Is it related to the disaster that happened tonight? "
The girl across the table had a mocking expression on her face.
"You don't even know what the Holy Grail War is, yet you dare to arrest me?"
You dare to come and arrest me? "She seemed to have heard something funny.
The corners of her mouth curved.
"Well, it's true that even in this chaotic world, magicians are very rare."
However, she didn't know how Akaji Seishiro was able to understand it in a few days.
She leaned back and raised her head. Her long hair slid down her shoulders and hung smoothly in the air.
Did these people know that as long as she was willing, she could disappear in front of them in the blink of an eye? With a wave of her hand, she could reap the lives of everyone in this room. She could even do it without leaving a trace.
However, Su Yu didn't do anything out of line until the end. After she was interrogated with an extremely uncooperative attitude, she was sent to the single cell in the deepest part of the organization.
Although the temperature in the cell had dropped, the place was dry and clean. Other than the small space, there was almost nothing wrong with it. Su Yu noticed that there was a red-haired man sitting next to her cell. At this time, he was leaning against the wall and resting with his eyes closed. He didn't care about his new cellmate at all.
Letting those people lock her cell door, Su Yu leaned against the wall and sighed slowly.
Her hands and feet were shackled, and all the items on her body had been stripped clean. In fact, as long as she wanted to, she could break free from these ridiculous shackles in an instant, but Su Yu did not do so.
If there was a reason, it was just that she didn't know where she could go after she got out.
There was indeed something to do. Kyōko's whereabouts were still unknown, but so many things had happened. She didn't know how to tell her what had happened during this period of time if she saw Kyōko.
Say that she finally found the meaning of life and embarked on the path of seeking justice, but accidentally killed thousands of people?
There was no need to assume. Su Yu knew that the kind and upright little girl couldn't accept such an explanation.
She leaned her head against the wall and sighed deeply.
Similarly, as the party of universal justice in this world, Akaji, who aimed to be a hero, certainly couldn't accept her actions. Moreover, the two of them still had so many things to talk about before. Su Yu felt that whether it was to become a hero or to become the successor of the family, Akaji shouldn't be in contact with her.
Who else did she know in this world?
At this moment, there was another commotion at the entrance of the prison. Two young men in uniforms came in with a blond head.
"Really, this is the real criminal. He has been so arrogant with 'Wang' and 'bastard'. It feels like he's mentally ill."
"In the end, he was injected with a tranquilizer before he stopped. Mental illness is really scary."
"Yes."
Su Yu sat up straight. As soon as she saw the short blond hair, she knew who the man who was dragged in like a sandbag was. The two young men in uniforms opened the door of the cell opposite her. After throwing the man in, they noticed the gaze from the opposite cell.
"Ah, Miss Su Yu," One of them showed a shy smile, "Are you used to living here? Do you need me to bring you a quilt?"
"Are you an idiot? That's a major suspect!" The other person raised his foot to kick his companion's butt, but when he turned his head to meet Su Yu's gaze, his face instantly flushed red, "If … If you're really cold, just say it. We don't have the habit of treating suspects harshly …"
"Thank you, I'm not cold." Su Yu curled the corners of her mouth and said, "It's late. Go back and rest early."
The girl's porcelain-white face's smile was like a slowly blooming epiphyllum. It was so gentle and beautiful that it was unbelievable. The two young men's faces flushed red in unison. After a while, they stammered and left.
When they were far away, the smile on Su Yu's face instantly turned radiant. She crossed her arms and looked at the blond figure who had been humiliated to the point of crawling face down. She felt that she should take a photo of this moment as a memento.
The famous Hero King, Gilgamesh!
He was injected with a tranquilizer and thrown on the floor!
She was looking forward to seeing that person's expression when he woke up.
Perhaps it was because the girl covered her mouth and couldn't stop giggling, but there was suddenly some movement from the wall beside her. Following that, a man's hoarse and sleepy voice sounded, "It's not easy for things to calm down. Can you stop making noise?"
It turned out that the cellmate next door had been awake all this time.
"Sorry, sorry." Su Yu couldn't help but laugh, but she tried her best to calm her voice, "I won't disturb you anymore. Good night."
The man seemed to change his posture, and soon, the surroundings fell into silence again.
Su Yu made do with lying on the stone bed. The cold stone floor was uncomfortable, and the cold night air kept coming, making her shiver involuntarily.
But after a while, the stone floor inexplicably became warm.
— —
Su Yu had a dream.
She rarely dreamed, and the few times she did, they were always related to her past memories. In general, it wasn't a novel experience.
But this time, the dream really felt like something from a long time ago.
It was a simple scene of a classroom. She was wearing a green school uniform, and there was a scribbled draft on the table. On the podium, the teacher was constantly waving a pointer on the blackboard. The surrounding students were still drowsy, and the afternoon sun outside the window was just right, shining warmly on her body.
The youth in front of her had a head of short dark pink hair, and there were two joystick-like hair clips in his hair. He sat in front of her with his back straight.
"Jun Saiki …"
Su Yu sat in her seat in a daze. She subconsciously held her breath, as though she realized that this was a dream from a long time ago, and she was careful not to wake up.
She had almost forgotten that there was a time when she could hide in the crowd and pass her days in such a low-key manner.
At that time, she could hide her outstanding appearance at any time, and accumulate enough lifespan to live several lives in peace. Although it was troublesome to persuade others to return the goods, at least at that time, she really believed that what she did was the right thing.
It was great, if only she could judge right and wrong as firmly as she did at that time. But once doubts arose, it was difficult to simply erase them. If the current Su Yu returned to those peaceful schools, she would probably be at a loss of what to do with those naive and willful girls.
Because in the past, she was clearly as willful and reckless as them.
The girl leaned on the table, greedily sniffing the youth in front of her. He gave her the same feeling as before, with a reassuring and warm smell.
But what about herself? Was she still the person who moved his heart? At that time, facing such a hateful Shizuki, she could firmly guard behind the line, and did not do anything excessive.
But now, what about Su Yu? If she faced the same thing again, what would she do?
She didn't know how to kill, but she had countless ways to torture her, to break her childish pride, to extinguish her ridiculous delusions, or to tear the ugly side of her character from the root and lay it out in front of her.
There were too many ways to completely destroy such a naive and foolish little girl. She could totally not tell a single lie and make her fall to the bottom of her self-awareness without drawing a single drop of blood. Then, whether it was to watch her fall or seek death, it would be very satisfying.
But at that time, she did not do that. Although she was angry at that time, she only wanted to teach her a lesson, and never really intended to destroy a person.
But in the end, what was the right thing to do? Since she did something to hurt others, she should also be prepared to be hurt by others one day. What she could say was the truth. If that person could not accept the ugly truth and collapsed, what did it have to do with her?
Tatsuji Omiya's curse, his war, his decision, all the evil in this world gathered by people all over the world, and the evil will that wanted to be born in this world, all of this was karma. What did it have to do with her?
People always seemed to change unknowingly.
Su Yu buried her head deep into her arms.
The youth sitting in front of her moved, but never turned around.
— —
Until the end, Su Yu did not dare to talk to the youth in her dream, even though the dream was very real. It was as if if she called out, the youth in front of her would turn his head.
When she opened her eyes, she was still in that simple prison cell. The stone floor beneath her was warmed by the warmth of her body. Su Yu sat up and looked into the eyes of the person in the opposite cell.
She called out hesitantly, "… Gilgamesh?"
"Heh." The person sneered, and it was still that familiar mocking tone. "Sleeping like a pig. To think that you can sleep in such a simple place, bastard."
No, not only did you sleep here last night, you even slept with your face facing down.
Su Yu's lips curled into a smile, and it gradually widened. "Yes, yes. Good morning, Hero King. Do you want to explain what's with your current appearance?"
The Gilgamesh opposite her, although he still had the familiar blonde hair and red eyes, was less than 1.2 meters tall. No matter how one looked at him, he still looked like a child who did not need to buy a child's ticket.
A look of annoyance flashed across the young Hero King's face. It was unknown if it was the change in his appearance that made him look a little childish, but he glared to the side. "Hmph, if not for the body given by the Holy Grail being unable to withstand Wang's magic, Wang wouldn't be sitting in this godforsaken place."
Su Yu came to a realization. The new body could not withstand the massive magic from the Heroic spirit, so it shrunk in size, allowing the body to slowly adapt. Gilgamesh must have been unable to use any magic last night, which was why he was sedated by the self-proclaimed Scepter4.
After figuring out the reason, Su Yu laughed heartily. She hugged her stomach and collapsed on the bed, without a care for her image. "Hahahahaha, my great Hero King, your fate is really too rough …"
"Shut up. Don't think that I won't kill you, bastard!" The young Hero King opposite her roared with his childish voice with a black face.
"Hahahahaha …"
At this moment, there was some movement next door, followed by the sound of a man taking a deep breath. As though he was restraining himself, he said helplessly, "So energetic early in the morning. Are you here to go to jail or to travel?"
His voice was heavy with exhaustion, as if he hadn't been able to sleep well since last night.
"Good morning, the one next door." Su Yu greeted him in a good mood. "I might have to bother you for a while in the future. Let's get to know each other. My name is Su Yu."
The other side was silent for a while before the voice came in a low voice, "… Zhou Fangzun."
"Zhou Fangjun." Su Yu changed the way she addressed him. She hugged the quilt and leaned against the wall. "I wonder why Zhou Fangjun is locked up here?"
"…" The man on the other side seemed to be in a bad mood after being woken up. He did not answer the question, but asked directly, "Before you ask me, why don't you tell me about yourselves first?"
"Us?" Su Yu glanced at the young Golden Twinkle in the opposite cell. "No, I'm not with that person. I'm a partner of justice. He's the bad guy."
The man who pursued justice was Tatsuji Omiya. There was nothing wrong with her statement.
"Watch your words, bastard." Gilgamesh sneered with his nose. His cheeks that still had some baby fat puffed up. "When did you have the courage to talk about the King?"
Of course, it was your young body that gave me the courage.
Su Yu covered her mouth and laughed again.
"I can't tell." Zhou Fangzun in the next cell commented faintly. He did not believe what she said at all.
It was obvious that they had a good relationship.
"Hahaha … Don't be deceived by his appearance," Su Yu ignored the little boy's murderous gaze. She turned her head and said to the wall, "When he's angry, he can blow up a city with a wave of his hand. I was caught because of him."
She had begun to talk nonsense with her eyes closed.
"Who is the one who was implicated? A woman is not allowed to speak against her heart in front of the King." It seemed that her embarrassing flattery made Gilgamesh's temper a little better. His tone softened a little, but he still did not forget to remind her.
"Okay, okay, it's not something that can't be said." Su Yu smiled and waved her hand. She corrected her statement again.
"The crime is probably that I accidentally burned down a city last night."
The Holy Grail War was not one person's responsibility. Even if she confessed, it would not be her fault alone.
The girl looked at the boy sitting opposite her. There was no haze in her clear black eyes.
She did not know what was right and what was wrong. If it was difficult to judge at the moment, then she would face it calmly.
