Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

Rope smiled and patted Rin on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, we'll find her before sunrise in the morning."

"……Um."

Rin rubbed her face, forcibly cheered up, and pulled Rope's arm back.

"Since it's not Sakura, let's not waste time here, who cares who's the big magic workshop!"

Facts have proved that it is easy and effortless for Rope to pull Tohsaka Rin, but it is difficult for a girl to pull him.

Rope pulled Tohsaka Rin back with his backhand, and the girl slammed into his chest without standing still.

In an instant, Rope read the attributes of the girl.

Well, it's probably grade "B". It doesn't look like mountains or water. Tohsaka Rin's accident is quite unexpected...

"Well!"

Tohsaka Rin covered the painful forehead that hit the "iron plate", and stared at the black-haired youth with shame and anger.

"...Anyway, be gentle, no women will like you if you are so rude."

"I'm disappointed, there are quite a few girls who like me." Rope shrugged.

"Rin, don't be so impatient, we still have plenty of time. Even if it is confirmed that Sakura is not the one who built this big workshop, then the builder, as a magician and a participant in the Holy Grail War, is likely to ally with Sakura who has the same position..."

The black-haired youth had just finished speaking when he was interrupted by the orange-red light that suddenly rose from the horizon.

The violent flames burned the entire mountain at the end of the line of sight.

Such a large-scale forest fire, even modern technology missiles can not do.

In Rope's impression, only the son of the sun god, Karna, the hero of charity, can cause this scene.This heroic spirit has a strong smell of "flame" whether it is "magic release flame" or the liberation of Noble Phantasm.

The feeling of Saber extracting magic power came in the next second, and Ropey smiled.

"...Looks like I'm overthinking it."

When Karna and Saber fought, it meant that Sakura was definitely near that battlefield.And knowing where the girl was hiding, the rest was much easier for Rope.

- Whoosh!

Um……?

The sudden sound of breaking the air came from the left, and the speed was not fast enough to bypass Ropey's reflex nerve.

He casually reached out and blocked the trajectory of the flying object.

Squeeze, sizzle.

The cursed magic formed by the black magic power caused ripples like electric current in the palm of the black-haired youth, but it couldn't break through the godslayer's high anti-magic power and had to exhaust himself.

Looking in the direction from which the attack came, a middle-aged man with blond hair was emerging from behind a certain wall.

He was wearing luxurious clothing that Rope had briefly seen a few years ago.

The standard uniform of the martial arts magician unit "Clone" formed by Lorelia.

"enemy?!"

In an instant, the magician's attack made Tohsaka Rin recover from the shock of the Lancer Noble Phantasm being released.

She put her hand into the pocket of her skirt and stared nervously at the strange male magician who was attacking.

"It's a shame you were able to react to the attack just now."

The blond man with a wicked smile didn't really care about his failure in the sneak attack.

"In this way, you can be sure of your identity - that red stigmata like Lord Bathermelo is the proof of the master's qualifications in this war? Lucky (lucky)~~ I thought it was another night. Boring guard work, I didn't expect you to come to your door, this is a great achievement~"

Lorelia took part in the conservative strategy after the Holy Grail War, and he was very hard-pressed by the militant faction.

- But it's all worth it for the current situation.

In the eyes of the blond man, the figures of the two were automatically replaced by various precious rewards and a different look from the head of the high-ranking noble Barthemelo family.

Unlike Tohsaka Rin's enemy, Rope didn't hear a word of the blond man's nonsense.

He tidied up his sleeves, and the smile on his face disappeared completely after he found that the cuff buttons were broken by the condensed curse magic.

"I said, you are Lorelia's new subordinate, right?" he asked blankly.

"Huh? I have heard the name of the leader, your Excellency, so you are quite knowledgeable."

The magician in the extreme east actually knew the high-ranking nobles of the clock tower, which surprised the blond man.

Then he laughed.

"So what?"

"Heh... If it was her subordinate who had been with her since five years ago, you should have heard of the "fate" between me and your Magus Marshal. "

Rope walked slowly towards the blond man.

"Wait, wait, Rope, don't be so impulsive, the other party is the magician in the clock tower, if..."

Tohsaka Rin couldn't say what happened next.
