Fifty-four - their respective calculations
"Sister, senior, what are you going to do?"
Also in the Tosaka family's mansion.
The hour hand on the wall now points to seven o'clock.
As early as six o'clock, Emiya Shirou had already said goodbye and left. At the moment, the only ones who remain in this big house are the two sisters Rin Tosaka and Sakura Makiri, who are holding a combat meeting.
"What else can I do? If he has a reason to go to war, there is no other way but to defeat him, right?" After saying the words in one breath, Rin Tosaka quietly raised the teacup and took a sip of the black tea that had already been cold, and a trace of regret flashed between her eyebrows.
If you can avoid the fight with Emiya Shirou, it will be better.
Unfortunately, this possibility may be lower than zero, and it is more practical to think about how to knock him down than to think about how to avoid fighting him.
Even if the latter is not necessarily more likely to succeed than the former
"But with our strength, is it really possible to defeat the senior?" Regarding Rin Tosaka's speech, Sakura's tone was obviously a little unsteady.
After all, it was Emiya Shirou who rescued them from their respective predicaments in the first place, and even the person who taught them magic was also Emiya Shirou.
Even if you don't talk about the deep relationship between them, the more you know Emiya Shirou, the more you understand the fact that his strength is not at all.
The only thing that can be known is that the other party is a magic envoy with a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and in the case of such a lack of intelligence, against such a powerful person, will they really have a so-called chance of winning?
"Even if it is difficult to bet on the honor of our Tosaka family, we can't help but admit defeat before we start fighting." Although he agreed with his sister's words in his heart, he couldn't help but flinch based on the question of dignity, and Rin Tosaka bit his nails and said, "And perhaps, our winning rate is not really that low." β
"Sister, are you talking about Saber-san as your opponent?"
"No, the guy did say that, but as he had said before, Saber's safety was very important to him. If we do use Saber as an opponent, even if we can force him to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, it will not be a way to do it in the future, so it will not work. Our opponent is, after all, Shirou himself. Slowly pulling out the glasses from his sleeve and putting them on, Rin Tosaka took out a pen and paper and began to explain the strategy: "First of all, we need to understand the comparison of the strength of the enemy and the enemy, and then we can formulate a complete strategy for this." β
"What about him and Miss Saber on the senior's side?"
"Well, maybe maybe you could get Saber's name out as well. Because with that guy's rotten good character, since he has enough strength of his own, then he won't let Saber get into danger. After a pause, Rin Tosaka turned the pen in his hand, and then continued, "On the contrary, it was Liangyi-sensei and Joan of Arc, and I was really relieved when I heard that guy say that they wouldn't interfere." β
"Huh? Teacher Liangyi, I also understand, after all, she is usually sharp, and at a glance, she knows that she is not an ordinary person, but if Miss Joan of Arc has the same name and surname as the ancients, it feels like there is nothing particularly worth guarding against? It's just that people are very gentle and beautiful."
"Sakura didn't say you, although people are hiding it for a reason, but you don't have to be stupid to trust others so easily, right?" Looking at her sister with a puzzled face, Rin Tosaka stroked her forehead and sighed.
Unlike Emiya Shirou, who occasionally goes off the line and looks like he will trust others at any time, but in fact he is extremely shrewd, this baby feels like just if she walks out on the street, anyone with a little bit of intelligence may be able to abduct her!
Emiya Shirou's excessive spoiling, will it actually have the opposite effect?
"If nothing else, let's take Saber as an example. If Shirou didn't call her directly by the rank of Severant, would you be able to tell the difference between her and other girls? At best, it's a little smarter, a little more serious, and a little more reliable, right? It's the same with Joan of Arc. Since Shirou had the precedent of summoning the Severant half a year earlier, and he himself did have the magic to do so. It's hard not to think of going over there."
"Sister means that Miss Joan of Arc may also be a severant, and that she is the famous French saint?"
"Not impossible!" Rin Tosaka affirmed, "It's almost 100%!"
"Yan Feng Qili."
Under the same blue sky
The two sisters Rin Tosaka also discussed the strategy of the battle harmoniously, leaving the Emiya Shirou of the Tosaka family, but they set foot on a land that they had not walked into for many years.
The church in Fuyuki City
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Emiya Shirou."
At the front of the church, a man dressed as a priest stood silently, as if he had known that there would be a visitor today.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Of course. Silver-haired and red-eyed, not like a woman, she looks more like a woman's face than a woman, and a few years ago she broke into the monastery of the church alone. If I live in the same city as the Fourth Magician and don't recognize him, that's a big disrespect, right?" In the unemotional pupils, it was as if to say, how could you ask such a stupid question? Yan Feng Qili smiled without smiling, and then quietly confirmed to Emiya Shirou, "Then the fourth person who decided to participate in the Holy Grail War is you?"
"Yes."
A feeling of disgust surged into Emiya Shirou's heart for the first time in a long time.
It doesn't matter what his strength or identity is. He just hates Yan Feng Qili.
It's like a mirror walking on the opposite path. Obviously, he can't agree with him from the bottom of his heart, but he occasionally feels that they have a lot in common with each other, and this feeling makes Emiya Shirou, who already hates Yan Feng Qili, doubly disgusted him.
"Seeing this, you should have no doubts, right?"
I didn't even bother to talk for a moment.
Emiya Shirou raised his left hand and pulled up his long sleeves in one fell swoop.
On the back of the snow-white hand, there are three spell carvings in the shape of sword blades.
Undoubtedly, this is the strongest evidence that he became the owner of the deed.
"Hmm" Unexpectedly, after seeing Emiya Shirou's spell, Yan Feng Qili exhaled softly, as if a little troubled, and said, "It's incomprehensible." To be honest, it's really confusing. Why would you, a magician, participate in a ritual in a remote place like the Holy Grail War? With your Cheng dΓΉ, you can look farther away. Could it be that it was my father's will? You are not participating in this Holy Grail War to obtain the Holy Grail, but to destroy it before it falls into the hands of others?"
"So, from what position do you ask me? Overseer of the Holy Grail War?" After a pause, Emiya Shirou slowly pulled out a piece of red-dyed suit cloth from his sleeve, and then released his palm, letting it float to the ground with the wind, "Or, my opponent?"
P.S.1: Well, it seems a bit difficult to finish the Holy Grail War in ten chapters
