Chapter 4 Undivided Friends and Foes(1/2)
Twelve o'clock in the evening.
Shiro Emiya is a second-year student in the Hokun-Honori Academy High School, and is a student from different classes in the same school.
Be kind to others, never refuse other people's requests, and be a good person.
Although I rarely dated her, for some reasons, the girl also understood her and came to the Umiya residence easily.
It is a martial arts hall on the edge of the residential area in the northwest corner of Shinsan Town.
There are not many families nearby in this house near the suburbs, and if something happens, no one will come over.
Therefore, no one will find out that guy died in time.
The girl stood in the shadow of the alley, listening in the cold air.
She didn't want to treat the people in the martial arts hall, she just wanted to save someone.
For some reason, she had to save that person.
“…He’s still inside…”
Not only relying on hearing, the girl also used the magician's sensing of magic to discover the power fluctuations of the servant.
Just as he was about to give orders to his servants, suddenly, white light like the sun set, burst out from the house.
It was destroyed in the feeling.
The power fluctuations of the servant named lancer were eliminated by the power fluctuations that were stronger than that.
She stared at the direction of the house in amazement until the blue servant flew out of the wall and jumped away in front of her as if she was about to escape from the house.
“…archer, is this…”
"I don't know. But I'll gather seven people like this, Rin."
The servant standing beside the girl in a virtual state answered calmly.
This means-
The one who is to be saved has now become an enemy that must be defeated?!
The girl's mind was in chaos.
This led to the worst development of the situation in the following direction.
——In the alleyway closed by darkness, the servant fell down from the wall like a demon bird.
Before the girl reacted, Archer appeared in front of her.
The defensive that was hastily set up collapsed with one blow, and Archer had no time to knock his master away.
The next moment, a deadly sword wind came, accompanied by a splash of blood.
——I couldn't stop her servant at all, and she was injured with one blow.
It was her turn the next moment, and the fearful girl finally realized what was going on.
“—— berserker?!!”
Before the girl made a move, the other side made a surprise sound, and the smooth sword wind stopped for a moment. Archer took the opportunity to return to the girl, with a terrible wound that was almost split by a sword on his chest.
The severe wound is not very effective even if Rin’s strongest healing magic, let alone the enemy is still eyeing him.
"No! Your magic is not the confusion of berserker. It seems that you were not summoned by the berserker's rank this time."
The girl's voice was as clear as a silver bell.
Rin saw the other person's appearance through the guardian in front of him.
Through the gaps in the cloudy sky, the moonlight pouring down illuminates the too cute face.
That is to knock down the lancer and hurt her archer's servant with one blow.
It is clear at a glance that the girl originally wanted, and she is called the strongest sword hero among the servants.
It was obviously an enemy, but I was still stunned.
I was really unwilling to give up, and the strongest servant I wanted appeared in front of her with ruthless awe.
And, it's so cute.
"A powerful magic, a battle that even a lancer can force retreat. It seems that you are the last Servant-saber who was summoned. Isn't we the first time we meet?"
Archer, who guards the master, did not care about his wounds, but instead asked Saber in confusion.
"I was once fortunate to meet you, but I didn't expect to be fortunate to fight you this time."
Saber opposite raised something in his hand - it should be an invisible sword, and she made a solemn preparation for battle.
What's going on? Facing an injured opponent, the opponent is so serious.
Rin couldn't help but be confused by the other party's performance.
"Have you seen me..."
When she heard this, the girl noticed that her servant's shoulders trembled.
For the archer who never loses his composure, this is simply impossible.
"Saber, stop—!"
When the opponent was preparing to attack again, Rin saw the savior who came out to rescue him.
It turned out that the person he wanted to come to save, but then became the target that he had to defeat, and now he is the biggest savior to help him get out of trouble.
Rin felt like she was having a bad day today.
"She is the master of archer and must be defeated here."
Naturally, saber did not obey that person's meaning. Every time there is one less master, he is one step closer to the Holy Grail, and no matter who he is, he will not give up this opportunity now.
But Rin believed that she had found a chance to survive.
Just as the other party was arguing with her master, Rin walked out of the archer with a relaxed expression.
"When are you going to put down your sword, saber?"
Although it is cute, such a heroic servant should be dealt with by provoking.
"In front of the enemy, there is no reason to put down the sword!"
"It turns out that being a saber server will go against the owner's wishes!"
Sure enough, under the small language trick, the other party was silent, and then let go of his hand, so that he would put down the invisible sword.
The rest was the guy who was best to deal with, and a very elegant smile appeared on Rin's face.
"Good night, Emiya classmate."
"You, you are Tosaka?!"
The guy was so surprised that he was about to jump up, and he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
"Are you going to ask when you meet?"
The other party's expression was too interesting, which made Lin tease her.
"Now isn't the time to talk about this! Why did you become a master?"
It seems that the other party can still grasp the key points. Rin answered the other party’s question in just one sentence.
"As a magician, it should be normal to become a master."
"magician--?"
The red-haired boy named Emiya was chanting the word in disbelief.
Sure enough, although he summoned the strongest saber, he was still a rookie who knew nothing.
"Forget it, let's talk about it in there. It seems that Emiya still doesn't know anything."
With ease in front of the strongest servant, Rin walked towards the Umiya mansion with satisfaction.
Forget it, you have saved me just now, so I will show my compassion to guide you.
~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because the Ushi Palace is remote, the mythical battle between the servants did not alarm anyone.
When Lancer jumped and left the roof, Saber and Archer entered the Emiya mansion one after another, and no one knew that there had been a life-and-death battle here.
Of course, any of the above refers to ordinary Touki citizens.
On this night when the Holy Grail War was about to begin, the masters lurking in the darkness were exploring the enemy's information in various ways, preparing to take the lead in the war after the seven followers gathered.
Although the brilliance of the appearance of Saber only broke out in the small corner of Shinshan Town, for other masters, the signal that the Holy Grail prompted the seventh servant was undoubtedly the horn of the war's beginning.
In the quiet night, behind the wall of a street separated from the Emiya mansion, a pair of eyes opened in a dark corner.
After Saber and Archer ended their conflict, in the corner where there was no sight, the eyes opened as if they woke up from a nap.
It seemed as if it had risen from the darkness, and a figure stood up silently and walked into the moonlight that was intertwined with light and darkness.
It was a swordsman in a kimono, pressing his left hand on his Japanese-style sword around his waist, and walking in the real world in a wooden clogs as if he had walked out of a legend.
To be continued...
