"...Let everyone join me in taking a gamble. Life or death depends on this one!"
"What's the chance of success? If the chance of success is less than 50%, I refuse to participate..."
"Fifty-five pairs... If you don't go to life, you go to death!"
"Then... let's bet our lives together. The 50% chance is enough for us to make this bet!"
…
"...It's so perfect. It's so perfect that it doesn't seem like a living thing. It's like my life. Something that's too perfect is a shortcoming in itself..."
"Yes, that's right. They have shortcomings, but they also behave like enemies. Therefore...their perfect evolution is exactly where their shortcomings lie!"
------------------------------------------------
"...!? The spear that pierces the dead thorns...are you the Irish child of light──!"
girl's exclamation
lner's expression darkened, and his fighting spirit quickly faded.
"Unexpectedly, twice! On the same day, my special kill didn't kill the opponent. Is it my bad luck today!!!"
Instead of pursuing the injured girl, lner simply turned around and moved to the corner of the courtyard.
"Although it is a Servant's rule that if someone knows your true identity, you have to fight until one of the parties disappears... but unfortunately my employer is a coward and actually said that if the gun is dodged, he will come back."
"──Do you want to run away, lner"
"Ah, it doesn't matter if you want to chase me, sber. It's just that - at that time, you have to be prepared to die."
With a thud, lner jumped up
As if he had no weight, lner flew over the wall easily
At this moment, he suddenly saw Felicia and Rin watching the battle behind the wall nearby.
“——————”
stunned
"It's you, the perverted guy——"
The spearman gritted his teeth, and suddenly all the anger surged up in his body, as if he wanted to fight Felicia to the death.
Then the next moment——
Just when Felicia pulled Lin away from the wall and was about to hit a ghost hand
The spearman actually disappeared in front of her eyes with a "whoosh", then appeared dozens of meters away, and kept jumping away.
"..."
"..."
Felicia and Rin both said something. How could they escape so shamelessly? They even used retreat skills!
But before, he looked like he was trying his best
The contrast...is too great?
Just when they hesitated——
The wind suddenly blew strongly
Umbrella-like clouds cover the sky
The unlit suburbs were suddenly closed in darkness
sber flew over the wall and landed like a magic bird───
Rin didn't have time to react before she was pushed away by Felicia.
The wind is howling
In the darkness where the moonlight disappeared, only the sparks from the gun remained, and only the figures of the two girls could be vaguely seen.
Rin stopped, just in time to see Felicia retreating quickly, and fired with both guns to stop Sber's approach.
"───Don't underestimate me!"
She took out the topaz woven with the wind spell from her pocket, and threw out the magic power completely unprocessed.
The yellow jade that can blow away a room or two without leaving any trace is the condensed body of wind spells that she has slowly accumulated in her daily life.
……No
Nothing at all
The storm that can tear apart the object caught in it in an instant disappears like a toy as soon as it touches the opponent.
────There is such a strong resistance to magic power
This Servant cannot be harmed at all by a magician’s level of magic power...!?
In her daze
Without even looking here, Sber raised the invisible sharp weapon in his hand and slashed hard at Felicia who was forced into a blind corner!
"Stop it sber────────!!!!!!"
Someone yelled desperately from behind
The cut-off invisible sword stopped in front of a strange arm emitting blue light, and could no longer move forward half an inch.
"Who are you----?!!!"
Looking at the pretty face reflected in the blue light, the King of Knights was stunned.
"Guinevere..."
The petite girl softly uttered a slight sound that only she could hear.
Felicia, who was behind the ghost hand, clearly saw a trace of confusion and struggle in Sber's eyes, and she sensitively captured the soft cry.
Guinevere... King Arthur's tragic queen... what does this mean?
"...Stop. Please stop, sber"
The red-haired boy finally ran to the edge and spoke breathlessly.
However, at this time, Sber was already full of fighting spirit, the sword in his hand was hanging aside, and there was only a trace of confusion and uncertainty in his eyes.
The wind is blowing
A gap in the cloudy sky, the moon peeks out of the spiral sky
It gradually became brighter under the moonlight, and the darkness was dispelled.
Felicia also put away her ghostly hands, and then carefully looked at the King of Knights in front of her.
The armor emits a silver luster, and you can tell at a glance that it is truly heavy armor.
The clothes that looked ancient were also smoother than ever before and showed a bright green color.
The blond hair illuminated by the moonlight was as delicate as gold dust.
There is still a childlike face with a temperament, and the fair skin looks very soft.
It is indeed beautiful...
Rin also felt the change in the situation, walked over from the side without saying a word, and stood next to Felicia.
However, one person's reaction was quite intense.
"You, you are Tohsaka...!?"
"Okay. Good night, Emiya-san."
Tohsaka Rin responded with a very elegant smile, but it looked like he was sinister.
"Ah───eh?"
Emiya Shirou was stunned because he didn't know a few suitable words, and his face suddenly became full of frustration.
"Bai——you idiot, no matter what the situation is, you still have a good night. Tohsaka, you...!"
"Yes, you and I are both masters. That means magicians. We have similar identities, so there is no need to hide it?"
"You said, magician——? No, are you a magician Tohsaka...!?"
The red-haired boy opened his eyes wide and pointed his finger at Tohsaka inadvertently.
"..."
Rin's brows twitched, and she stared at the red-haired man in front of her as if she was very unhappy...
Seemingly feeling uncomfortable being looked at by Rin, Shirou hurriedly explained.
"Ah, no, no. That's not what I want to say."
A brief silence...
"Okay, let's talk inside if you have anything to say. Anyway, Emiya-san, you don't know anything, right."
Rin said easily, took Felicia's hand and walked towards the door.
"Hey───Wait a minute, Tohsaka, what are you thinking...!"
When Shirou finished speaking───
The expression on Rin's face when she looked back was completely different from the smile just now.
"Idiot, I've been thinking a lot. That's why I want to talk to you. Emiya-san, it's okay to be surprised because of the sudden incident, but being disobedient can sometimes lead to death. By the way, this is the case now
Do you understand the situation?"
Rin stared at the unclear red-haired man with hostility.
"────Hmm"
Shirou was overwhelmed by Rin's sudden momentum and was speechless.
"As long as you understand. Then, let's go to Emiya-san's house."
Ignoring him, Rin directly pulled Felicia through the door of Emiya's house.
"Wow, the place is quite big. The Japanese-style house is also quite novel. Ah, Emiya-san, is that the living room?"
As he said this, Rin entered the living room as if he were at home.
"..."
In order to listen to Tohsaka's explanation, Shirou entered the living room as if he were a guest in his own home.
"Wow, it's so cold! What's going on? Isn't the glass outside the door broken?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. I was attacked by that guy named lner. How could I care so much at that time?"
"Ah, that's what happened. Then before you called Sber out, did you fight him alone?"
"It's not a fight at all. It's just that I was beaten unilaterally."
"Huh~, I don't want to save face... It turns out that it's really clear at a glance, Emiya-san."
Not knowing why he was happy, Tohsaka walked to the glass fragments.
"?"
Tohsaka picked up the glass shard and looked at it carefully——"
With a pop, he drew his fingers and dripped blood on the glass.
The shattered glass fragments began to piece themselves together.
It takes less than a few seconds to return to its original appearance.
"Tohsaka, what just happened was————"
"It's just a little show. At least you made Sber stop the attack. Although she shouldn't be able to hurt my rher, it doesn't make sense if she doesn't help... Although you can fix it yourself without me doing it, but the magic power
It’s a waste to use it on this, isn’t it? In fact, the household glass only needs to be replaced, but it is really difficult to talk in this cold wind.”
Rin said it was natural.
But as a rookie magician, Emiya Shirou was completely confused.
Then, as if Rin had discovered a new world, he told the confused red-haired man about the war he was involved in and about the magician.
Felicia felt that there was some chatter, so she sat down casually and made tea by herself.
Seeing this, Sber also sat next to her and looked at Felicia with a complicated look.
Felicia raised her head, their eyes met, but no one flinched, and the two of them suddenly stared at each other.
In the end, the two of them closed their eyes at the same time and lowered their heads together.
Felicia took a sip of tea and wondered about the possible connection between herself and the King of Knights.
Sber was in a state of confusion and didn't know what he was thinking.
