Komachi Okitа Battles a Giant / Komachi and Shirou's Love ...

"Hmph! It's done!" Diarmuid smiled. His shattered Gáe Buidhe had a curse effect; once hit, the wound could not heal. On the battlefield, many enemies had bled to death because of this.

Diarmuid brandished his spear and charged forward, aiming straight for Alexander's wounded abdomen. He knew Alexander's hand was useless! The next shot would take his life.

"What?! Lulululu!!" Gilles de Rais, who was watching from the shadows, stared wide-eyed in shock. His trump card had been used so easily!

"Hmph! You want to be here too!" Kaineth appeared behind Gilles de Rais and said with a cold snort.

Dense silver threads had completely enveloped the area, like a spiderweb covering all sides, leaving Gilles de Rais trapped inside with nowhere to escape. The silver web tightened, slashing towards Gilles de Rais, threatening to tear him to pieces.

"Damn it, damn it!!!" Gilles de Rais raised his human skin book high, chanting incantations that no one could understand, and cursed the crowd.

"In that case, let everyone die!!! Hahahaha!!!" Gilles de Rais let out a mad howl.

With a soft "plop," blood splattered everywhere. Gilles de Rais's blood, mixed with black plasma and emanating an ominous dark aura, slowly seeped from his mangled flesh and blood.

The energy surged along the ground towards the injured giant. The giant, who was originally made of bronze, now had a shiny bronze skin, with a faint layer of black mist rising from it, clinging to his body like down.

At this moment, he was no longer Alexander the Great; the trace of his soul that originally belonged to the Servant had been swallowed up by the black energy, leaving him merely a monster occupying the Spirit Origin.

At this moment, Diarmuid's spear was about to pierce the giant's body. Once it went in, he would try to shred the giant's internal organs and kill the monster completely.

However, the giant, with black smoke emanating from its eyes and its arm pierced by the yellow short spear, did not stop but instead charged towards Diarmuid.

The giant hand emerging from the tip of the gun, like a charging wild boar, pierced through Diarmuid's stomach and went straight through his body.

"Ugh... I'm still no match for big enemies like wild boars... Sister... Diarmuid, your loyal knight has departed first." Diarmuid coughed up blood and weakly lowered his hands that had been holding the spear.

Utaha Kasumigaoka, standing some distance away, shivered, a sense of foreboding creeping over her.

Chapter 747 Okita Komachi vs. Giant

"What's wrong, senpai?" Shirou noticed the girl stiffen and asked with some concern.

"No, it's nothing. I just suddenly feel uneasy, like something bad is going to happen. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such discouraging things." Utaha Kasumigaoka hesitated for a moment before saying it, then regretted it, since now was not the time to say such discouraging things.

"No, senior, if there's anything on your mind, please tell me. Especially in this world, we should be more honest. Rather than letting you bear it alone, I'd rather share it with you. As long as we're together, we can definitely overcome any difficulties!" Shirou said sincerely to the girl.

"Shirou... um, I understand. Thank you." Utaha Kasumigaoka's beautiful eyes welled up with tears, and her gaze towards Shirou shone with a special light as she spoke with emotion.

'So that's how it is. I actually sensed something too.' Shirou outwardly comforted Utaha Kasumigaoka, but inwardly his expression changed as he thought to himself.

The dark fluctuations in this world seem to have changed; the feeling of malice seems to have intensified. It's as if it's getting closer and closer to the world Shirou originally came from. I wonder what kind of mutations this world will bring in order to vent their resentment.

On the battlefield, the knights and the monsters were determined to be the victor.

"Roar!!!" Alexander threw Diarmuid to the ground, then raised his foot and stomped on his head. He stomped on Diarmuid's head again and again, crushing it like a watermelon.

At this moment, black mist was slowly emerging from Alexander's monster body, which had its head completely flattened into a bloody mess, and then merging into it. It seemed that the black mist from the slain people was being absorbed into his body.

"You monster!!!" Kaineth also went mad, releasing all of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid in an attempt to kill Alexander.

Alexander flicked his wrist, pulled the Gáe Buidhe that had pierced his hand, and threw it. It pierced Kaineth's head and pinned him to the wall.

Alexander roared, scanned his surroundings, and walked over to Kousaka Kyousuke, who was already lying on the ground in fear.

"Wait... Alexander... We're friends, right?!" Kousaka Kyousuke said, tears welling in his eyes and his body trembling.

Alexander grabbed Kyousuke's head with one hand and lifted him up, then cracked him like a walnut being crushed.

Now, Alexander, having lost the control of the black Magecraft Gilles de Rais who had poisoned him, is completely free of restraint. His eyes, filled with black mist, seem to have regained a certain degree of rationality, though this rationality does not belong to Alexander, but rather to the monster himself.

The giant, now possessing intelligence, has surpassed ordinary Berserkers and become the greatest monster in this world. His other brothers, after being killed, became nourishment for him.

Alexander's strength surged, and as if unable to release his pent-up energy, he rampaged through the crowd, smashing wooden houses to pieces and even shattering a rock structure, which collapsed to the ground with a crash.

Alexander grabbed a stone pillar from the roadside and hurled it in all directions.

"Whoaaaaa!!!" Komachi, who was lying in the tree watching the show, did not notice the flying boulder and was smashed down along with the entire tree.

"What happened?" Komachi touched her bumped head, got up from the ground, and looked around in confusion, only to feel a darkness above her head.

Alexander Great, the black giant, stood behind Komachi, blocking the sunlight from the girl's head.

"Eeeeeee--!!!" Komachi tilted her head back, looked up, and let out a scream with her mouth agape.

"Where is my sister? Kill those who resist! Conquer! Conquer!" Alexander roared, his voice hoarse with rage.

Diarmuid Gáe Dearg Spear as if it were an iron rod. After killing Kaineth, he donned a layer of mercury-silver armor, resembling a defensive artifact, while Kousaka Kyousuke provided him with an astonishing sense of smell.

Komachi had no idea that while she was watching the show, her enemy had already upgraded by killing his rivals and was no longer someone she could control.

But even so, the battle must continue.

Komachi leaped up like a carp, instantly creating distance between herself and Alexander. She reached into her card pack and pulled out a new card. This time it was Saber!

The star at the center of the True Magic began to spin, and the card it touched emitted a shimmering light. In the light, Komachi's body was enveloped in color, only her figure was revealed, and then a white kimono appeared on her body, draped with a blue haori. Komachi's hair was tied back with a ribbon. A famous sword hung at her waist.

The girl gripped the scabbard, supporting the hilt with only her thumb, revealing a faint glint of cold light. The blade had a subtle tearing quality, as if there was nothing she could not cut.

"Roar!!!" Alexander let out a terrifying roar and slapped Komachi across the face.

A glint of light flashed in the girl's eyes. She drew her sword and charged towards Alexander.

"One step beyond the sound--!" Komachi shouted, using the Instantaneous Movement Technique and Shrinking Earth Footwork that allowed the genius swordsman Okita Souji to instantly break through to the enemy's side during close combat.

"Two steps without gap--!" Komachi ducked and sidestepped Alexander's attacking arms, dodging the blow, and then ran to the other side, her body as agile as a fish in water, dodging the large turtle that was slowly swimming in the water.

"Roar! Aaaaaah!!!" The monster composed of black aura had long lost its human appearance. Its skin had turned black, and it was covered in Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. The red spear began to show signs of fusion, and its body began to exhibit the characteristics of mercury and steel. It was almost like the master of the Persian Empire, who could only be white but was covered in black.

"Three steps and I'm out of there! Hahaha! Komachi's speed is super fast now!" Komachi said proudly. With the help of the Body Flicker Technique, she could always create distance in the first instant when Alexander's arm was about to reach out, narrowly avoiding fatal attacks.

Komachi did not activate her Noble Phantasm. Instead, she used her footwork to advance and retreat, rushing into the giant's arms to dodge the attack before circling around to his back to escape.

Although the Berserker possesses terrifying strength and raging black energy, making it almost impossible to break through, as long as one is not hit, she will be completely unharmed.

"Cough cough..." Komachi suddenly coughed twice, covered her mouth in surprise, dared not be reckless anymore, and ran outside as fast as she could.

Otherwise, if her illness flares up, she might really mess things up, and once she gets caught, it means she's finished.

During the late Edo period, the renowned genius executioner from the Mibu Wolf was used by Komachi to escape. However, perhaps this was the most suitable use for him.

Chapter 748 Komachi and Shirou's Love

The enormous roar could be heard even by Shirou, who was walking several blocks away.

"Shirou-kun, is that little spirit alright?" Utaha Kasumigaoka asked worriedly.

"No, Komachi will be fine. She'll come looking for us, so let's go first," Shirou said, reassuring the girl.

Shirou wasn't worried about Komachi. His younger sister was one of the most worry-free children of her age in this era. She was kind-hearted, cheerful, and knew how to be considerate of her parents, lighten the mood, and bring joy to the family.

Thinking of this, Shirou couldn't help but chuckle. The peaceful life he had with his family in that world, though ordinary, was indeed very happy.

"Shirou, your smile is disgusting... You actually believe her?" Utaha Kasumigaoka said, looking at Shirou with a hint of jealousy.

"Huh? Really?" Shirou touched his face in confusion.

"So what exactly is your relationship with that little fairy?" Utaha Kasumigaoka asked, puzzled. She clearly hadn't seen this child before.

"Yes, my destined little sister?" Shirou tilted his head, trying to give a more fitting answer.

"Why is it a question?!" Utaha Kasumigaoka complained, but her anger subsided a bit. Although Shirou had many, many sisters, at least they weren't his destined wives.

After shaking off the giant, Komachi transformed back into her fairy form and flew towards Shirou. Having undergone a rigorous trial that took her three thousand miles to find her brother, Komachi had already honed her skills in finding him, making her practically an expert on Shirou!

While finding someone in a bustling town might be difficult for others, Komachi had absolute confidence that the person in question was Shirou.

Komachi still vaguely remembers her childhood. Her parents were both career elites, or to put it bluntly, corporate slaves who worked overtime all day. Every day after elementary school, she would go home and watch TV while waiting for her family to come home, so her older brother would always come home on time.

I noticed that other female classmates with older brothers, even if they wanted to play with their brothers, would still be disliked for having their younger sisters following behind them. But the brothers never showed any such feelings.

So, elementary school wasn't too difficult for Komachi. Her older brother would take care of everything, and when she got a little older and didn't have to stand on a stool anymore, she would come and help. Although it was all small chores like washing and picking vegetables, she was happy just doing them with her brother.

However, during one parent-teacher conference at school, both her parents were unable to take time off work because their companies were rushing to meet deadlines. She clearly understood the adults' hard work. Moreover, she had a good personality and got along well with her classmates, so no one made fun of her. The teachers at school were also very kind and wouldn't make things difficult for her.

But after the parent-teacher meeting that day, when she got home from school, she had just stepped inside and saw that no one was home. For some reason, she suddenly burst out, as if something that had been suppressed deep in her heart had suddenly swelled up uncontrollably like a balloon filled with air and burst out of the box.

Her mind went completely blank; she felt a surge of anger that she couldn't vent! She threw down her schoolbag, turned around, and rushed out of the house, running aimlessly.

Her brother, who had just returned home, discovered she wasn't there. He searched several streets before finally finding her in a park in the next district.

When she got home, it was only six o'clock, but it felt like half a Komachi had passed. In fact, it was just a short runaway. Because no one told her, her brother quietly went to make dinner as soon as he got home. When their parents came home from work, they ate dinner together without any delay.

So, their parents were completely unaware of this; it was just a little secret between Komachi and her brother.

However, after that incident, Komachi seemed to understand something. Although she was still an elementary school student at the time, this principle is probably one that will apply to her throughout her life.

Although family members can't be with her at every parent-teacher conference, she can make dinner time with the family much happier. As long as the family can spend time together happily and bring warmth and joy to each other in life, that's all that matters.

A loving father and filial son, a sister singing and a brother following, a happy family. The mother urges her children to wear long underwear, the son is the mother's hand warmer, and the daughter is the mother's little cotton-padded jacket. Love those who love you more, this is Komachi's most simple and honest thought.

Back then, her brother ran breathlessly to the park in the next district and found her sitting alone on a swing. So now, Komachi is also using her True Magic to travel through various parallel worlds in her dreams, trying to find Shirou, thinking that no matter what, she must bring him home and have a meal together as a family.

Now that she finally saw a glimmer of hope, she naturally didn't want to let the opportunity slip away.

Komachi, transformed into a fairy, flew through the air and soon saw a red-haired boy leading a black-haired girl.

"Onii-chan ~! I'm back~!" Komachi shouted happily, leaping onto Shirou's face and pressing affectionately against it.

"Komachi, welcome back." Shirou felt the warmth on his face and smiled in response.

"Roar!!!" At that moment, a giant's roar came from behind.

The giant, who had been left behind, had actually caught up, following Komachi precisely as if it had been mapped.

"Liar! How could they have caught up with us! I'm so sorry! Brother, Senpai, it's all Komachi's fault for letting them catch up." Komachi cried out, grabbing her hair in distress.

"No, it's not your fault. This world has been unfriendly to us from the very beginning. It was bound to happen eventually," Shirou said.

"Yes, there's only one thing we need to do, and that's escape! We absolutely, absolutely cannot let them succeed! I don't want to stay here for another second." Utaha Kasumigaoka agreed, sharing the same hatred for the enemy.

"Okay! I know! Bring it on! He's just a big, silly guy! If Komachi gets serious, he's not unbeatable!" Komachi took out her True Magic again, clenched her little fist, and cheered herself on.

"Roar!!!" As if in response to Komachi's words, the black giant roared once more!!

After the roar, something ominous was summoned from the sky, responding to the black giant. The wind and clouds shifted, and dark clouds gathered around them.

"Aaaaaah!"

"Waaaaaah!!!"

The NPCs by the roadside, regardless of gender, were all clutching their heads in pain, their bodies convulsing, as if they had contracted some strange illness.

Chapter 749 The Kiss That Breaks the Curse

"What's going on?" Utaha Kasumigaoka noticed the strange behavior of the people behind her and had a very bad feeling. The noise from those shouts felt like it was trying to drill into your brain.

"They've finally arrived..." Shirou gave a bitter smile. The malice from the world felt just like the strange feeling he had when Roswaal and the two maids were chasing him at the same time.

This is a world of tragedy. The protagonist is neither noble nor a powerful figure, but rather a plaything created to satisfy a sadistic heart.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be mocking them: you are losers, you are destined to fail, all your efforts, all your sacrifices, and all your dreams are in vain and delusional.

Because fate has already written your lives in the book that records the trajectory of life, you are destined to be futile and achieve nothing. As numb people, you are inferior, drifting with the tide, being mocked by others, and clowns for their amusement.

The NPCs on the street began to mutate, as if they had been brainwashed. Black smoke, like that of giants, began to emanate from their bodies, and their muscles swelled up, turning them into black monsters that looked exactly like giants. They then joined the army running towards Shirou and his group. At this moment, the streets of the town were filled with billowing dust, like a stampede of ten thousand horses.

Seeing that a group of fierce-looking men were about to rush up, the three of them turned around in perfect unison, took a step, and ran away.

One giant is terrifying enough, but now there are hundreds. They all know that their side is definitely no match for them.

As Shirou ran, he turned to Komachi and asked, "Komachi! What are the conditions for lifting the curse? Can we meet them now? If not, we'll be too late!"

Komachi flapped her wings vigorously, shook her head, and said, "Brother, you're too impatient. Even I wasn't initially at full strength in my feelings for you. After all, feelings need time to develop."

Komachi's ahoge (cowlick) swayed slightly. You could sense the level of affection between Shirou and Utaha Kasumigaoka. Although it had increased considerably since they first met, reaching the critical point of breaking through the curse of a world was not so easy.

This is a global curse, essentially being hated by the entire world. Take Hitler, for example; the whole world pinned the blame for World War II on him, and even the defeated Germans acknowledged it, thus making him the most evil person.

Even terrorists like Osama bin Laden are secretly appreciated by many Chinese for diverting the United States' attention. If the US had launched its crackdown on China ten years earlier, life in China would not have been so easy.

Shirou and Utaha Kasumigaoka, on the other hand, are now receiving even more targeted treatment than they have.

Love is all-powerful; it is the most precious emotion of humankind, yet it is also the most difficult thing to achieve.

For example, if you asked someone to kiss a prince who had turned into a toad, most people could do it if they gritted their teeth, closed their eyes, and went for it. If you were a cunning and ruthless person, you could even swallow a fly's tongue and then give him a French kiss.

However, what drives people to do such things is not how strong their love is, but simply a matter of their inner patience, courage, and determination.

However, the difficulty in breaking the curse lies in the fact that when you kiss the toad, you must do so with love. In other words, you must genuinely like the toad, feel joy from the bottom of your heart, and have your heart pounding with excitement. Not everyone can do that.

So while Komachi is happy that her brother has found a beautiful and considerate girlfriend and they love each other, and she's even willing to be a wingman and give them a push from behind, it seems they need to let their relationship develop for a while longer if they want to break the curse from another world.

At that moment, Utaha Kasumigaoka accidentally tripped over a stone and fell forward.

"Be careful." Shirou quickly reached out and took his senior's hand, and by chance, their fingers met.

"Thank you." Utaha Kasumigaoka, having regained her balance, looked at Shirou and blushed as she felt the warmth of their intertwined fingers.
