The sun was setting in the west, and when the last bit of light dissipated, night enveloped Dongmu City.
"Declaration -
You are under my command
My destiny gives you the sword
If you follow the destination of the Holy Grail
Those who follow this will and this way, respond and swear by this
I am the one who has accomplished all the good deeds in the world
I am the one who spreads all the evil in the world
Seven days of three great words that surround you
Come on the wheel of restraint
Guardian of the Scales!!!”
At the same time and in different places, the announcement of joining the war came from the mouths of the magicians.
Then, the heroic spirits arrived——
The Fifth Holy Grail War has finally begun.
On the balcony of the Einzbern annex.
Feeling the sudden burst of magic power fluctuations in Dongmu City, Ilyasviel held Ilia's hand with a smile.
"berserker, let's go out! It's going to be lively tonight!"
Hearing this, Illya nodded. Her pale golden hair grew longer and rolled up Irisfil. She then took Gaia's little hand, squatted down slightly, and then with a sudden force, she took it with her.
The two jumped into the night sky.
In an uninhabited park in Dongmu City, a tall purple-haired woman wearing an eyepatch lowered her head towards Matou Sakura, who was at a loss in front of her.
In Tosaka Residence, in a room with a hole in the ceiling, a man with silver hair and red clothes opened the door and rushed in. Tosaka Rin stretched out a hand and said hello frivolously, "Yo!"
----Dividing line----
At night, on the playground on the campus, two people were fighting fiercely in a way that transcended common sense. The swords and spears constantly collided and fired sparks.
The above is the reality that reflected in the eyes of Emiya Shirou.
What is going on in this world? Emiya Shirou asked himself this. He just spent a lot of time organizing the archery dojo, so he could go home at this time. But why did it happen that he encountered these transcendental things?
Common sense things?
"who?!!!"
The spearman in blue uniform felt Shirou Emiya's aura that was scattered due to surprise.
He will die! He will be killed! Shirou Emiya could feel the murderous intent contained in that question. Run away! Get out of here! He chose to run away. The opponent was not something he could deal with.
Emiya Shirou fled into the teaching building. After running for a while, he felt that the aura of the person who had been following him disappeared.
'It was so dangerous, I almost thought I was going to be killed.'
After thinking that the other party had given up the pursuit, Emiya Shirou stopped and sat down against the wall of the corridor to calm down his panting.
"What... are you doing something stupid?"
Emiya Shirou gasped hard and was dumbfounded by his behavior. If he wanted to escape, he should go into the town! What if he ran to a place where no one was around like this?! And it was still a school. Even if he had to hide, there was still time.
A better place to hide, isn't it? And he has a dangerous illusion that he will be killed if he doesn't run away. No, that shouldn't be an illusion. Ilia has let him experience this Ling Ran murderous intention many times.
.
Shirou Emiya adjusted his disordered breathing while recalling the scene just now. In short, it was certain that it was something that could not be seen. In the school courtyard at night, things similar to humans were fighting. This was the only thing he could remember. But, in another place
In one corner of the vision is.
"...There is another person, I feel like there is someone else..."
Emiya Shirou could not recall the appearance of that man. To be honest, he had no time to pay attention to anything other than the two combatants.
"Oh! I didn't expect you to run so far!"
A face suddenly appeared in front of Shirou Emiya, speaking these words as if she was very intimate with him.
"...?!"
Emiya Shirou looked at the other party in surprise. This person was the spearman who broke off the battle and ran to chase him. He couldn't breathe and stopped thinking. He clearly couldn't think about anything, but he had a vague feeling that he would be dead.
"You should know better than anyone that you can't escape, right? Why, that's how the defeated party always gains. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
The spearman casually turned his spear in a circle and waved his arm.
"Bad luck, kid. But if you see it, go to hell!"
Without mercy or emotion, the point of the spearman's spear pierced Emiya Shirou's heart.
Emiya Shirou stared closely at the point of the spear that was stabbing him. He subconsciously turned sideways and exerted force on his feet, barely dodging the spear's piercing.
"What an interesting kid."
The spearman raised his eyebrows, and the spear turned at an incredible angle and stabbed Emiya Shirou again.
"Well……"
Emiya Shirou, who was still in a state of erection, was unable to dodge the spear's assassination again.
"Ah...ah..."
The world in Emiya Shirou's eyes was distorted. His body became cold, and the feeling began to disappear from the fingertips and ends.
"Ahem...poof."
Only once did he spit out blood from his mouth. He should have spit out more blood, but only once. The spearman's spear was specially made and the blood slowly settled. The heart that was supposed to spurt out blood stopped moving with just one stab.
'Are you going to die?'
Shirou Emiya also experienced this feeling ten years ago. This is the feeling of a human being who is about to die.
"Dead people can't speak! Of course it's natural to say that a weak guy dies, but..."
Shirou Emiya heard the spearmen's complaints. Although his consciousness could no longer reach vision, his hearing could still function.
"...It's such a nasty job. It's so funny to be a hero like this!"
The spearmen's complaints continued, but this time they contained anger.
"I know, I have no objection. I saw that girl's servant. She will go back obediently."
After that, there was the sound of running down the corridor.
"Archer? Although I want to compete, I can't go against the master's policy... What a disgusting master!"
Then, the sound of the spearmen disappeared, and the sound of running stopped.
After that, footsteps were heard again. However, Shirou Emiya had begun to lose hearing clearly, and his hearing was about to stop functioning.
"Go and chase, Archer. Lancer should return to the Master. At least he should be able to grasp the opponent's face!"
‘Who is it? Such a familiar voice.’
Emiya Shirou was thinking with vague consciousness, but unfortunately he no longer had enough thinking ability. He still could not remember who the owner of this familiar voice was.
"But he's not dead yet, he's so awesome!"
Emiya Shirou had a vague feeling of being watched.
"...No way. Why, would you..."
Seeing Emiya Shirou's face that was extremely pale due to his near death, Tohsaka Rin gritted her teeth unwillingly. At the same time, she touched Emiya Shirou who was soaked in blood without hesitation.
"...Forge the damaged internal organs to replace them, and completely repair the heart within this period of time... If you succeed like this, you will be directly qualified to go to the clock tower level, right..."
It was obvious that Tohsaka Rin lacked confidence in this magic that had never been used before.
'Now is not the time to hesitate!'
Tohsaka Rin shook his head and shook away the uneasiness in his heart.
Then, her tightly clenched right hand loosened, and a heart-shaped ruby hung down, pulled by a thin gray chain, hanging on Shirou Emiya's chest. Then, the ruby emitted red light.
After the red light disappears.
"Phew...I'm so exhausted..."
Tohsaka Rin let out a big sigh, and the thin chain in his hand came loose, and fell to Shirou Emiya's side along with the gems.
"...Forget it, I can't help it. I'm sorry, dad. Your daughter is a very ruthless person."
Tohsaka Rin, who was immersed in self-mockery, forgot about the necklace. After laughing at himself, he left.
