A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1240 1233. It must be realized

Emiya Shirou was speechless.

Why is there such a tough attitude here? cherry.

"Okay, then let's use the guest room inside! There are a lot of quilts and yukata for several people! Saber is okay, right?"

It's no problem, right? Ba's tone seems to have become a lot stronger. Is he being too preoccupied?

"..."

Saber looked at him with an inexplicable expression.

"...This troubles me, Shirou. I want to protect your relationship, and I won't be able to complete my task if I'm in the same room with them. Besides, I don't know how to deal with them in the same room."

"...I'm sorry. I can't stop what Fuji-san said. Besides, it also feels like a quid pro quo. If I refuse, it seems that Saber's promise to live here will be invalidated. In that case, the two of us will have to go out. Living on the streets.”

"...That would also be very troublesome. The barrier of this house is very good, and it can be said to be impeccable as a stronghold. As long as you stay here, Shirou can also deal with enemy sneak attacks."

"...That's it. Then we should be patient. As long as we stay in this room, we can meet up immediately no matter what happens. Well, talking to Fuji-san will be very tiring. If it bothers you, just say I don't understand Japanese. Enough."

"Hey those two over there, whispering is forbidden. Because of this, Saber belongs to us. Shirou is a boy, so it's okay to be alone, right?"

Sister Fuji took Saber's hand and left Emiya Shirou.

"────────"

This way things will be settled.

Saber's accommodation has been approved. Sister Fuji will live here, and Sakura will also live with her.

The population density here has increased in just half a day.

...Hmm...it's really starting to look more and more like a hotel, I always feel like it.

······

It's bedtime.

Saber didn't know what happened. The lights in the guest room, which had been so busy just now, were turned off and silence returned.

With three women in one scene, even the silent Saber and the steady Sakura seem to be unable to escape this law.

"...No, that's not right. The main thing I heard was Sister Teng's laughter."

Even so, it is a fact that the guest room is very busy.

Girls of the same generation are having fun nearby and under the same roof, which is really not good for mental health.

"─────Damn it. I was so concerned that I lost all sleep."

Such as Saber's troubled expression, whether Sakura and Saber are getting along well, and what exactly Fuji-san is planning, and so on.

The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt. Maybe it would be better to let Saber sleep in the next room.

"────────"

The time is eleven o'clock in the evening.

The lights in the room went out, and there was no sound outside.

In order not to let Sister Fuji and others who were sleeping in the guest room find out, Emiya Shirou opened the sliding door of the room with a low voice.

······

Went to the courtyard.

The moonlight was bright and the wind blowing was so cold.

On winter nights, the world is as quiet as frozen.

Tucang was silent.

The place where Lancer was cornered yesterday.

The place where Saber appears.

The entrance was open, and the darkness inside seemed to admit all comers.

Got inside.

He closed the door to block out the air outside and lit the shabby heater.

"...Do you need to shoot more than two hundred arrows a day?"

Nakauki's teachings on the art of archery.

The ability to hit is just as stated in the text.

Penetration is the ability to shoot through the target.

Then the last part is the rigor of maintaining the ability to penetrate for a long time.

...I remember that it seemed to appear in the Zhongyao Secret Journal.

Those who are determined to become a Sagittarius must continue this forever after it has substantial meaning.

Therefore, more than two hundred arrows must be shot a day... and so on.

"...Yes. Since you don't know what to do as a Master, at least you need to practice your magic well."

Emiya Shirou lowered his waist in the middle of the earthen warehouse and took a deep breath.

"Hu--hu--"

... After adjusting his breathing, he began his usual practice.

The usual images come to mind.

The shadow of the sword appeared in my empty mind.

"────────"

After ignoring this, your thinking will become even clearer.

Once the whole body is connected to the magic power, the next step is the routine strengthening exercises.

Last night, I was attacked by Lancer and successfully used the strengthening magic that had not been successful for several years.

It would be a pity not to be able to get it by practicing over and over again before the feeling is forgotten.

"──────Synchrony, start."

He half-closed his eyes and squeezed out the contents of his lungs.

─────Just think about this now.

Whether it's the Holy Grail War, Saber's matter, or Tohsaka's matter, once they are included in this project, they will all be wiped out.

You need to clear your mind so much that you can forget all about your own confusion.

However, in the process.

While I am doing such a thing, is Tohsaka, a magician, also practicing in the same way────

Such distracting thoughts linger in my mind.

······

────Through the unnatural darkness.

Late at night when there are no people around.

Under the moonlight, she passed through the invisible passage and stepped into the room.

"────────"

There is a room in a certain building.

There are about fifty employees inside.

Most of them were men, and all of them were scattered on the ground like dolls with their strings cut off.

"────────"

She gritted her teeth.

Being blinded by darkness helped somewhat.

This corrupted air is caused by the incense of grass turning into smoke and filling the entire room.

"────What kind of fragrance is this? Archer, do you know?"

While opening the door and window, she asked behind her.

There was no one there.

Only a breath thicker than the diffuse smoke was shaking.

"It's a witch's ointment, maybe. It's a plant from the family Apiaceae. I guess it's called destroying love or something like that, right?"

"...poisonous ginseng? Why, it's not enough to just eat magic power. You also need to prevent men from pleasuring yourself, right? The one who caused this tragic situation."

"In this case, the other party must be a woman. Although I don't know what the hatred is, but I have become a servant and want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. It seems that there is a lot of resentment."

"Stop bragging and open the window quickly... The person who fell to the ground───is still breathing, right? In this case, there is no difference between reporting now and being discovered in the morning. If the matter is resolved, leave as soon as possible, Archer."

After opening the side window and treating the person in particularly bad condition, she left the room.

"...Tsk. The clothes have to be taken to be washed."

He sniffed the coat.

It wasn't that she touched it in particular, but her coat had a rusty smell.

It became a secret room.

Because there was blood vomited by fifty people on the ground called the floor.

······

The breath behind her took form.

Behind her, Tohsaka Rin, was naturally a knight in a red coat.

Archer, the servant who protects Tohsaka Rin as a spirit.

"Then what? Does it really flow to Ryudou Temple?"

"...That's right. All the spirit that was taken away flowed to the top of the mountain. Almost all the sleeping incidents that happened in Xindu were the fault of the Master at Ryudou Temple. I don't know how capable that Master is, but This kind of thing is not something humans can do. As for the possible candidate, I’m afraid the only one is Servant Caster?”

"The witch who built her nest in Liudong Temple. In this case, last night was a joke."

"Are you kidding...? You mean a draw with Berserker? I think that's the best outcome."

"Not necessarily. If Caster spread his network so widely, he must have spied on last night's battle. But we failed to defeat Berserker, even Saber was spared, and my trump card was exposed. How can this be the best? The result?”

Said sarcastically.

However, Rin did not answer this sentence.

There was nothing wrong with defeating Berserker and saving Saber.

And the most important thing is that Archer didn't let his trump card be exposed at all.

last night.

It is true that the "arrow" released by Archer stopped Berserker.

But that true face───the true face of a Noble Phantasm with such powerful power,

Even Rin, the master, is unknown.

"────Rin."

...No, she could see through the principle alone.

It was just a bomb.

Detonate a bomb filled with gunpowder, the Noble Phantasm, in front of the enemy.

It goes without saying how unreasonable this is.

It was an explosion of magical power that used the most powerful illusion, a single use.

─────.

This is the name of the must-kill Noble Phantasm held by the Red Knight.

"────Rin."

...However, that is really puzzling.

There is only one Noble Phantasm held by the Servant, the other half who was inseparable during his lifetime.

How could any heroic spirit destroy this without mercy?

"────Rin."

It is not easy to repair a damaged Noble Phantasm.

Destroying one's own Noble Phantasm is tantamount to suicide for the servant.

"────Rin..."

It was at that time that Archer gave up his strongest weapon when there were still six enemies to defeat.

No, if you destroy the Noble Phantasm that is the best proof of a hero with your own hands, other servants will definitely faint if they find out────

"Rin────!"

"! Eh, what? Sorry, I didn't hear it."

"...I'm asking you what to do next tonight. You must be tired from the battle just now. If you don't take a good rest and recover..."

"────────"

In response to what Archer said, Rin clenched his fist slightly.

The battle just now.

There were swarms of puppets made of bones moving along the passage.

And she destroyed it all by herself.

I don't need Archer's help at all, and I don't want to expose Archer's abilities.

The most important reason is───the anger against the ‘enemy’ for breaking the rules of being a magician and involving a third party like this.

So destroyed.

Show no mercy, beat until you are completely naked.

...Even if the skeleton comes from someone who was alive a few days ago, there is no sympathy at all.

"────────"

She was not injured in the previous battle.

There is only one place.

The cost of fighting with all his strength to hold back the feeling of vomiting was to bite his lip.

"────Go after Caster. The scent should still be there. Kill her before she escapes into Ryudou Temple."

"What? That's surprising. Isn't it your principle not to do things that you think can't be done?"

"...That's right. I won't do anything knowing the consequences. But this time it's different. If I catch up now, I can probably catch the tail. What's more important is────"

"─────Can't you swallow that breath without a fight with her? Really. Let's leave the opponent who is easy to defeat and go after the most difficult opponent."

"...Moo. It doesn't matter. Don't worry about Saber. An opponent like that can deal with it whenever he wants, so there's no need to take it seriously, right? As long as you stay at home peacefully, there's no need to go out of your way to take action. I only let him go when he was hiding at home."

"...Really? Then, what the Master says in front of you doesn't matter. For example, if you still haven't realized your identity as a Master yet, and Shirou Emiya himself appears in front of you..."

Faced with the probing words of his followers.

Tohsaka Rin looked at the night streets with her emotionless voice,

"────I will kill him. People who don't even know that kind of thing have no obligation to sympathize with him."

As if speaking to himself, Tohsaka Rin asserted this.

······

That was that winter five years ago.

A night with an exceptionally beautiful moon.

Emiya Shirou himself was not doing anything, he was just admiring the moon with his father, Emiya Kiritsugu.

Although it is winter, the temperature is not that low.

Although you can still feel the chill in the corridor, it does not harm the elegance of this wonderful moonlit night.

Recently, Kiritsugu rarely stepped out of the house.

I rarely go out and spend more time at home doing leisurely things.

...I will regret it now when I think about it.

It was clearly like an animal that had figured out its own death date. Why didn't it notice it?

"When I was a child, I longed for a righteous partner."

Very suddenly.

His father, who he considered to be a righteous partner, said these words in a nostalgic tone.

"What are you talking about? It's just longing. Does that mean you've given up?"

he replied a little angrily.

Kiritsugu smiled apologetically and looked up at the distant moon.

"Well, it's a pity. There is a time limit for being a hero, and it will be difficult to call yourself a hero once you become an adult. I wish I could understand this earlier."

When he said this, Emiya Shirou understood.

Although I still don’t know why, but since Kiritsugu said it, it can’t be wrong.

"Really? There's really nothing we can do about it."

"Yeah. Really, there's nothing we can do about it."

Kiritsugu echoed him.

Then of course, what he was going to say had already been decided.

"Well, if there is nothing you can do, let me take over for you. Although dad is an adult so there is nothing he can do, but if it were me, there would be no problem. Leave it to me, dad's dream..."

"————I will definitely make it happen!"
