"Emiya, you really don't think about yourself."
Ignoring Emiya Shirou's shocked look, Matou Shinji continued to speak.
"The attack just now was just a warning. After all, Emiya is also a master."
At this time, Matou Shinji pointed at the servant beside him.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce you. This is my servant, rider."
"...Why do you want to place a barrier in the school?"
Emiya Shirou was silent for a moment before asking this question.
"Boundary? Emiya, don't get me wrong, that's not something I know how to do."
Hearing this, Shirou Emiya was stunned.
"you mean……"
"That's right, I didn't arrange this barrier."
Matou Shinji chuckled.
"Did you know? The Emiya and Matou family are a family of magicians. But they are a withered family. Although Matou's ancestors came to this land with the Tosaka family, they are not suitable for the land of Japan.
Ah. As it is passed down from generation to generation, this, is it called a magic circuit? It gradually decreases. When I was born, Matou's bloodline seemed to have become like ordinary people. So the people of the Matou family are not magicians.
Master. It’s just that I used to be from a family of magicians.”
With that said, Matou Shinji pointed in the direction of the school.
"So, this kind of magic that has enveloped the whole school cannot be used with my magic power."
"The attack just now was..."
Emiya Shirou looked at his arm, where blood was still flowing slowly.
"Oh! That's what I asked Rider to do."
"Why?!"
"Why? It's very simple..."
Matou Shinji showed a matter-of-fact expression.
"That Tohsaka is also the master, right?"
"Yes."
Emiya Shirou nodded honestly.
"Then wasn't it a perfect opportunity to kill the enemy master just now?"
Matou Shinji spread his hands.
"It's a pity that you destroyed it, Emiya."
"Why did you kill Tohsaka?"
Emiya Shirou was a little unbelievable about Matou Shinji's matter-of-fact attitude.
"Why? Because I was obviously a thorn in that guy's side."
For a moment, Matou Shinji's words were filled with serious emotion.
"Listen carefully, that guy will not allow other masters to exist. Emiya who is with her should also understand it, right? But, although I don't know what's going on, Tohsaka is very confident about you. Although not
I know why, but that woman has no weaknesses? Look, don’t you think this is the perfect opportunity to defeat her?... Emiya, let’s work together!”
"...I refuse. I won't discuss with you how to defeat Tosaka. First of all, that guy didn't do anything. Although that guy and I... will have to fight one day, but now that I can trust her, I want to trust her too.
she."
Emiya Shirou's answer was very decisive.
"...Hmph. I think it will be too late when something happens. But since you say so, it's okay. I'll take a look at the situation like you! Rider, let's go!"
Matou Shinji seemed to have given up and was about to leave.
"Oh! By the way! Emiya may be in some pain after a while!"
Matou Shinji suddenly turned around and showed a gloomy smile to Emiya Shirou.
"what!!!"
A long nail connected to a chain suddenly appeared on the wound on Shirou Emiya's arm. As Rider pulled the chain, when the nail was recovered, blood spurted out again on Shirou Emiya's arm.
"Oops! It looks like it hurts a lot! Emiya! Just think of it as a small revenge for your stopping me from killing Tohsaka? Of course we are still friends, right? I'm waiting for you at any time for the cooperation proposal you just made.
Oh, the answer! Hahahaha..."
Amid laughter, Matou Shinji's figure disappeared into the distance of the grove.
"Shirou!!!"
At the same time, Tohsaka Rin's voice came over, and she also came to the grove.
"Shirou, are you okay? Who was that just now?"
"...It's Shinji, he is Rider's master..."
Emiya Shirou was silent for a moment and then gave his answer.
"Sure enough, I knew it was that bastard! I didn't expect that he would dare to attack the school!"
Tohsaka Rin clenched his fists angrily.
"No! Tohsaka, I think you are mistaken..."
"Shirou! I'm so embarrassed when you look like this! Have you forgotten everything I gave you?"
A line of text suddenly appeared between the two of them, interrupting Emiya Shirou's words.
"Who?...berserker..."
After Tohsaka Rin reflexively called out "who", he immediately realized the identity of the person coming from this conversation method.
----Dividing line----
"Oh! Who is so bold? Dare to do this in broad daylight?"
Ilia's figure appeared in front of the gate of Suiqunyuan High School.
After sensing the magic power fluctuations generated when the barrier was activated, Illya quietly gave Gaia instructions, and then made a magic clone to stay with the two loli and set off alone.
'Hmm? This magic wave is Rider, right? Near her are Shinji Matou and...Shirou?'
Thinking of this, Illya chuckled silently.
'Shirou is really in trouble~ He actually had the audacity to go out without Saber by his side...it's really...'
"ah!!!"
At this time, Emiya Shirou's screams were caught by Illya's keen hearing.
'Well~ Matou Shinji is really evil. He could have asked the rider to dismiss the weapon directly, but he chose to use this method... Well, this is Shirou's carelessness. He actually resisted the attack with his bare hands, he deserves it...'
Illya made an impartial evaluation based on her own opinions, without favoring any party. For her who only knew the fate route, she couldn't figure out many things now. That's why she didn't know that Shirou had to resist with his bare hands.
Attacking is also a last resort. (Xiao Ai: Actually, it was Xiao Ai who wrote the lines together~ Otherwise, Ilia would have had a very smooth life~ Ilia: You are such a bad character...)
'Well... let's go and help Shirou. It's not cost-effective to spend just one Command Seal here.'
Illya decided to help. There was no way Shirou could deal with such a large barrier without calling Saber. Illya could feel that the master of the barrier was summoning something in the barrier.
Don't think that this is Illya's kindness to help people. In fact, she is interested in the command spells of various masters. The collecting habit broke out after seeing Ilyasviel's command spells all over his body. She became Matou Shinji.
Rider's master is also Illya who wants to collect one more command spell.
Illya also collected the command spells of Kayneth Elumeroy Archibald in the last Holy Grail War. However, one of the command spells has been used, and Illya has no interest in incomplete things.
Ilia doesn't understand the beauty of imperfections, nor does she want to understand.
When Illya rushed to Emiya Shirou's side, it was when Shinji Matou exited and Rin Tohsaka appeared, so the previous scene also happened.
"Well~ well~ don't be so nervous, I'm just here to take a look and help you by the way."
Illya waved her hand to Rin Tosaka, who looked wary.
"Is that really all there is to it?"
But Tohsaka Rin still didn't relax at all.
"Of course, you two alone can't handle this level of barrier. You didn't bring a Servant with you today, right?"
"Yes, Saber, I asked her to stay at home."
While Emiya Shirou answered, Tohsaka Rin had a strange expression on his face.
It's not that she doesn't want to take the Servant with her, but Archer is wandering around on his own. Although Tohsaka Rin notifies Archer, it still takes some time for Archer to arrive.
"Oh! It's getting interesting. Get ready for battle! Something is coming out of the barrier."
Ilia suddenly turned around and looked at the teaching building. Through the windows above, she could see a lot of people wandering around inside the teaching building.
