() "Are you absolutely sure that you can complete this setup? If something goes wrong, wouldn't all of us be in danger?"
"Everything and any plan will have dangers. The only difference is the level of danger."
"...Believe me, the chance of success this time is at least 70%, if I continue with my plan."
…
What a terrifying wisdom. This kind of superiority over living things seems to have no emotions, is cold and full of oppression... just like a god...
-------------------------------------------------
After returning to the ground, Rin finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it were a girl who had experienced the horrific scene underground, she would have fainted.
Felicia frowned.
"Rin, these bugs are the same as the ones I saw at Ryudou Temple. Did Matou do something there?"
"Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for Shenji to have such strength."
Rin hesitated, then suddenly raised her head, as if she thought of something.
"I seem to remember that there is an ancient magician in the Matou family who has been hiding behind his back, Matou Zouken, could it be him!"
"Matou Zōyan?"
Felicia didn't know this person.
"That's right, Matou Zouken! He has grown old for a long time, but he has not retired yet. The magician Matou Zouken six generations ago was an outstanding insect user, and his true identity was a monster that drank human blood.
.”
"Vampire?"
"It's better to say it's a vampire than a blood-sucking insect. Regardless of its characteristics or personality, it's like a wet slug."
"Is he also a master?"
"No, Matou Zouken is not a master. He is a consultant similar to the Matou family - just a monster who has lived for hundreds of years. Perhaps he became a master in a way we don't know, and is carefully planning some strategies.
Not necessarily."
"So, he might also be a master?"
"Perhaps. In short, he is not an opponent that can be ignored."
"Oops, with such an old fox here, Shen Er is definitely being driven. We may have fallen into a trap!"
Felicia seemed to suddenly think of giving birth.
"What's wrong...rher?"
Rin asked doubtfully, but saw a map projection of the city appearing on Felicia's hand.
"Perhaps this old monster has calculated that we will come here. If I'm not mistaken, Shenji must have some conspiracy against Shirou and the others now!"
"Conspiracy?"
"Yes, I found it. Sure enough, that idiot Shirou ran out alone!"
A light spot representing Shirou appeared on the map in Felicia's hand and was moving towards the school.
"School, what is he going to school for now?"
Rin frowned, her tone a little uneasy.
"I was looking for... got it!"
Felicia dug out the phone records of Emiya's family in the afternoon.
——Hello? Emiya, you are finally back?
——What happened to Sakura?
——Ah? What's wrong? I should take it back. Because that thing belongs to me and I can't keep it in other people's homes.
——Shinji!
——Haha! Okay, just be angry, Emiya! Do you regret that Sakura was taken away?
——The location is at the school. Listen, you must be the only one here. Because there is a barrier of rer here. If you bring Sber or the rher of that guy Tohsaka, I will know it immediately.
——If it turns out like that──I can’t guarantee what will happen to her then.
…
The conversation was mixed with the whimpering sounds of the girl being kicked, and Rin gritted his teeth.
"You bastard, you actually took advantage of that child, you scumbag Shinji!"
With a gloomy look on her face, Rin did not hide her anger and said to Felicia.
"Rher, let's go, we must not let him go!"
"As you wish, mster."
It was already late at night, nothing moved on the ground, and everything fell into a deep sleep.
There is no moon, and a sea of dark clouds flows in the night sky.
precipitated darkness
The town is like a dark deep sea, with only the moonlight shining through the clouds
clouds are flowing
There is no wind on the ground
However, the atmosphere is roaring in the distant sky, carrying several layers of clouds swimming around
The moon disappears and appears again
The moment the clouds in the sky flow away
A silver phantom with a hint of bright red flashed past in the darkness.
…
While a large cloud covers the night sky
Cacha sound
The sound of the collision of steel was not heard by anyone, and was just dissolved into the darkness.
"Rin, we can only go here. There is a barrier in front of us. If the servnt enters, he will be discovered."
Felicia stopped at the gate of the school and said to Rin who was putting her down.
"It's really troublesome. Although this barrier is difficult to activate again in a short period of time, as long as rer is not dead, the barrier will not disappear."
Rin muttered.
"It's nothing serious, it's just less than a thousand meters away, but you have to rely on yourself from now on, Rin."
Felicia is holding a somewhat scary sniper rifle, the Barrett M82.
This currently the best anti-material sniper rifle in the world naturally exists in Ellie's memory bank. After adding a series of enchanting runes, it has become a veritable killer weapon.
"Well, where is Shinji, rher? Judging from his character, he must be at a high place and setting up a formation in a familiar place."
Rin withdrew his gaze and thought about the campus shrouded in darkness.
"That's right, it's in the classroom on the third floor. That boy Shirou has just arrived and is approaching. While he attracts the attention of Reer and Shenji, Rin can pass by just in time."
Watching Shinji's every move while holding Sakura hostage through the scope, Felicia said to Rin who used magic to cover her aura.
"No problem, rher."
"Well Rin, be careful when you go in. I will cover you and keep in touch."
"all the best."
"all the best."
Felicia was watching Shinji and Reer inside with a scope at the edge of the barrier, and Rin quietly approached from the side.
At this time, Shirou had already run to his destination out of breath.
What caught his eye was Reer in black, and Shinji holding a blade pointed at Sakura.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he was extremely angry. He was eager to rush over but was stopped by Rer.
Shinji just held Sakura in his arms and looked at his embarrassment happily.
Sakura just lowered her face and didn't look up at all.
The two were chatting, and the smell of gunpowder seemed quite strong.
Sakura's cheek was pointed at by Shinji with a knife. She turned her face away, without raising her head, but clenched her mouth tightly.
"Rin, it seems that Sakura also knows about the Holy Grail War. Shinji is forcing her to admit it to Shirou."
Through the wired headset, Felicia whispered to Rin.
"What? Sakura?" There was a hint of disbelief in the voice, and then she became lonely, "I should have thought of it a long time ago. Shenji has no magic circuit. As an adopted child, the insect's training ground is prepared for her!"
"What? So Sakura is the real Master?"
"Yes, but it should only provide magic power, and the right to exercise it lies with Shenji. If I am right, he is a hypocrite..."
"Transfer the command spell?"
"Yes, no wonder Sakura has been in poor health these past few days. Shenji abuses the RER so much, feeds the marking insects, and supports the magic power. Of course she can't stand it."
"Rin, make a decision. Do you want to erase Sakura as the master? If so, you don't need to take risks at all."
Temporary silence.
"No, just kill Rer. This kid... is very pitiful."
The voice came out with a hint of relief.
"Understood."
Felicia didn't ask any more questions, she already knew what Rin meant.
At this time, the scene in the scope changed again.
Rer didn't have a dagger in his hand, so he beat Shirou with his bare hands.
Is this showing mercy, or is Shinji planning to slowly torture him?
It should be the latter.
Following Shinji's orders, Rer simply kept punching without any mercy.
The organic movements were just waving arms, which reminded people of machinery.
After a round of random punches, Shirou could hardly stand up.
Shinji seemed to have said something, then he took a step forward and kicked Shirou violently in the abdomen.
Judging from his expression, it seemed like he was holding back and not spitting out.
Rer picked up Shirou's collar, lifted him up slightly, and looked at his state of collapse.
With eyes wide open, Shirou grabbed Rer's arm and managed to hold himself up.
Is it no longer possible?
rer raised his hand, as if he wanted to give the final blow.
