A few hours had passed since the battle with Caster, and under the light of Saber's holy sword, Caster had also retired from the stage of the Fourth Holy Grail War after the Assassin.

Alice Fell then travels with Saber to Lancer's location to fulfill the knights' agreement. Saber, who had seen Emiya Kiritsugu's killing methods, expressed his disapproval and called his master an evil demon, while several figures were hiding outside the house and peeping.

"So...... Why did you come along?"

Looking at Illya and Miyu who were hiding in the grass with him, Shirou couldn't help but mutter. Hearing this, Meiyou, who was taken aback, lowered her head a little apprehensively.

"Brother... Brother, have you been in trouble?"

"No, not really, just a little confused. 」

Seeing that Miyu misunderstood, Shirou touched the back of his head and tried his best to explain.

"You see, Illya didn't feel reluctant to meet her mother not long ago?"

"Uh-huh............

Illya, who pressed her index finger to her cute chin, thought for a moment.

"It's a bit reluctant, but I still want to be with my brother. 」

"Yes......

Looking at Illya, who was smiling brightly, Shirou couldn't help but smile. Thinking back to Illya, who had died in front of his eyes five months ago, Shirou clenched his fists without clenching his fists.

Sure enough, I still want to protect you.

"Illya, Miyu, you can stay here, I'll be back in a moment. 」

"Well, brother, we're going too!"

"Yes, I'm ...... Elijah."

Before Miyu could finish speaking, Shirou shook his head lightly and stood up.

"It's been a few hours since the battle with Caster, and in the worst-case scenario, it's possible to meet Berserker head-on. You are here to help me see the way out, and I will ask you behind my back. 」

Looking at Shirou, who looked back and smiled, Illya and Miyu finally nodded slightly in agreement.

"Well, leave it to us, brother!"

"I must come back safely, brother!"

"Ahh

In response, Shirou immediately rushed out and headed towards the Kiri-house not far away. That's right, what Shirou is going to do now is to fulfill his original purpose. Since coming here, fighting Lancer and fighting Caster, this is not the original purpose of Emiya Shirou. I came here for the sake of a girl named Sakura Makiri.

Lightly crossing the wall, with the battle with the Heroic Spirits five months ago, the young man named Emiya Shirou has grown significantly in all aspects, and with the Holy Sword Sheath running in his body now, there is no need to worry about the demonic power in his body. Crossing a wall of this height is no problem for Shirou.

It was unusually quiet, but Shirou didn't let his guard down. Although it has fallen, the Maki family was once a famous family of magicians. Shirou Emiya, who wasn't even a magician, but was just a half-magician, wouldn't be surprised if he didn't stay vigilant when he walked into such a place, even if he died here.

When I came to the gate, the room was unusually quiet. Maybe it's lucky.,At this time.,Makiri's dirty inkstone fell from a high-rise building because he went to recover the night of the Makiri-go-Yan, who fell from a high-rise building by Tosaka Tokisaka.,At this time, there are no other people from the Makiri's family in the house except for the Kiri-sakura and the engraved insects in the worm barn.,This is undoubtedly an opportunity for Shirou.。

But Shirou couldn't rest assured, and the ominous premonition became heavier and heavier. Because the surroundings are so quiet, it makes Shirou feel that something bad is about to happen.

The purpose of Emiya's trip is to save Kirizakura and change the damage caused to her body by the future Marker Worm. What's the point of coming here by yourself if you retreat here now?

After only a slight hesitation, Emiya Shirou became firm again and pushed the door in without hesitation.

"What...!?"

Unexpectedly, as if she had known that someone was going to break in, a young girl stood between the corridors. Shirou, who had just pushed the door in, happened to look at him.

「…… Sakura?"

That's right.,The girl standing in the corridor.,Although there is a difference in height from the image.,But there's no doubt that it's the girl Kirizakura that Emiya Shirou is familiar with.。

「… You... Who is it?"

The girl's puzzled voice made Emiya Shirou look stunned, yes, Sakura only met Shirou under the introduction of Shinji Kuritsu a few years ago, and it is natural that Sakura didn't know Shirou during this time period.

But the reason why Shirou was stunned was because of the girl's voice. It was a lifeless, ordinary mechanical sound. When I looked up, I saw a pair of godless eyes, which were the eyes that would only have gone through countless despairs, loneliness and loneliness.

Shirou had seen her look like this before, and it was the first time they met, the one who didn't smile and should have been forgotten for a long time. Once upon a time, a young man named Emiya Shirou also had that kind of look, which was the look of his own eyes when he was in despair of the hope of 'life' in the fire that caused him to lose everything and burn everything down.

Why? Why does a young girl have to be subjected to that level of pain? Is that the same for the years that followed? Why is that? What am I here for? Am I here again? Just like Illya was then! No, how can such a thing be allowed? I want ...... even if it's late!

couldn't suppress the feelings in his heart, and when he reacted, he couldn't help but shout.

"Sakura !!"

The boy's call made the girl's blank purple eyes react for the first time, her eyes widened slightly, and then ......

「Geeeeeeeeeeee————！！！」

A roaring sound like a beast sounded, waking up Shirou, who was about to rush towards Sakura. Turning his head in a hurry, the worst happened, and the pitch-black armored knight roared and pulled down a pillar, which was suddenly eroded by magic. Holding a pitch-black pillar that was over his height, Berserker lunged at Shirou.

"Uh——!"

The lightning formed by the magic power flowed smoothly in his arms, and in the face of Berserker, who was rushing with an astonishing momentum, Shirou subconsciously projected a defense.

"Uhhhh

However, Shirou clearly underestimated Berserker's strength. Even with the sword body defense, Shirou's body flew directly out of the yard like a baseball hit by a baseball bat.

"Brother!"

Seeing Shirou fly out of the house, Illya and Miyu were shocked. Just as they were about to act, Ruby and Safia stopped them in time.

"Wait, Illya, isn't your mission to secure a way out?"

"But ......"

"Illya-sama, Miyu-sama, please don't forget your mission and trust him!"

"Hmm......"

Listening to Ruby and Safia's words, Illya and Miyu could only forcibly suppress the feelings in their hearts and watch nervously.

"Damn!"

Shirou, who had fallen to the ground, quickly got up, and the twin blades in his hands, which were already full of cracks, slashed through a clear blue light and returned to their original shape. In front of his gaze was a beast holding a pitch-black pillar. But Shirou wasn't careless, because he knew that anything that Berserker touched would become his treasure, even if it was just an ordinary pillar just now, but now it was a veritable treasure.

"Uhhh

Even though the name is like this, Shirou, who can't suppress the feelings in his heart, roars and rushes forward. In the face of the enemy, Berserker, of course, will not be polite, it is better to say that this rank originally existed for destruction.

With madness and roar worthy of the name of the Berserker, the black beast and the righteous machine go into battle.

With all his might, a boy named Emiya Shirou challenged the current difficulty in order to save the girl. If Saber is the best class, then Berserker is the strongest.

The sound of objects intertwining was accompanied by fierce sparks, and in the face of the pitch-black figure in front of him, the boy did not hesitate to launch a fierce attack on it. Known for its destruction, Berserker clearly outperforms Shirou in speed and power.

Block Shirou's attack head-on, and use absolute violence to make Shirou faintly fall into the upper hand. There was a burst of sand and rocks at the scene, and the ground was already dilapidated, which showed how fierce the battle was.

"Damn!"

The white sword in his right hand was knocked away, and Shirou, who had slashed backwards a few meters, just stopped. Suddenly it was dark, and Berserker, who was holding the pillar high, had already swung it down. If he is hit, I'm afraid Shirou will be smashed directly into a pulp.

"Damn, ahhhh!!hh

Shirou, who was impatient in his heart, rushed forward without retreating, and fought Berserker again in front of the remaining black sword.

"Brother?"

Looking at Shirou like this, Illya and Miyu both sweated for him. Ruby, on the other hand, tilted her head, puzzled.

"No, he seems to be very impatient. 」

"Miyu-sama, if you continue like this......

'Bang'!

Before Safia could finish speaking, the sound of glass breaking sounded, and in Shirou's stunned gaze, the black sword shattered and dissipated in front of his eyes. Faced with another attack from above. Emiya Shirou bit the root and roared angrily and forcibly projected again.

"Uh-oh-oh!!"

With a crisp blow, the 'Noble Phantasm' in Berserker's hand was split in two, but Shirou didn't have time to rejoice, Berserker had already smashed the pillar broken in two with terrifying speed.

Even though he retreated and dodged the blow, the blast of wind that burst out of the cracked ground made Shirou's body unstable for a while, and his body was suddenly hit head-on by Berserker's pursuit, and flew upside down like a kite with a broken string.

"Uhhhh

"Brother!"

Shocked, Illya and Miyu hurriedly stepped forward to support Shirou, who was rolling on the ground a few times. At this time, Shirou had already spurted blood from his mouth, although the injury was not serious, but it was definitely not light, it was better to say that he was lucky to challenge the heroic spirit with a human body and only suffered this degree of injury.

"Brother, retreat!"

"No, I ......."

"Brother!"

For the first time, Shirou saw Illya's angry expression for the first time. Illya's angry shouting finally calmed Shirou down, and seeing this, Illya and Miyu looked at each other, nodded to each other, and quickly retreated with Shirou. Even in the end, Shirou still looked back at the Maki family with some unwillingness.
