Perhaps because the priest was accustomed to preaching, it didn't take long for Shirou to quickly reveal that Einzberen already had the Spell, Julian, and the destruction of the theater—and that information about Caster and Beatoliche was deliberately withheld. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"You mean, they even ...... in order to snatch your spell Killed a lot of innocent people? ”

The emergency news report at night showed that the city center was now in chaos, with a conservative estimate of the death toll in the hundreds and an unknown number of serious injuries, which was the second largest disaster in the history of Fuyuki City after the Great Fuyuki Fire. 9

What kind of brutal killing did the people of Einzbelen carry out to make such an unbearable scene occur? When Elijah thought of this, she felt a great deal of pain in her heart.

When one of the children was being lifted onto the stretcher, his crushed right foot fell off the stretcher, and blood splattered onto the white coats of the first responders. And that's just the situation on the fringes of the accident, and you can imagine what would have been going to be like at the center of the accident.

The air became wet and wrapped around the skin like mucous membranes. When a living human being encounters a tragedy caused by some of its own reasons, the overflowing guilt is too vivid.

The blood in Saber's body is tumbling, and Saber has never seen these scenes, as long as he is on the battlefield. No matter how unbearable you are, you will still see those young bones. This is a common situation for him, who used to be King Arthur.

But it is precisely because of this that in the rare era of peace, it is necessary to cherish everyone's life. Not only for the sake of the Holy Grail, but for this alone, Saber had to swing his sword at Einzbelen, which was an inescapable duty as a knight king. A demon who defiles the meaning of war, a scum who insults human dignity, Saber will never let this guy go.

"This battle for the Holy Grail is to select the most qualified Heroic Spirits to receive the Holy Grail, and they will be abandoned by the Holy Grail if they use tactics to defile the Heroic Spirits." Saber's tone was as cold as a sword: "And, isn't the Holy Grail impossible to activate if you don't kill us?" Are the number of Servants who must be annihilated enough? ”

"It seems that they don't care in the slightest about desecrating the Holy Grail, in fact, the container is already in their hands, and the next question is how to fill it. They were very well planned and unscrupulous, and I don't think they would ignore that. What about you? ”

“…… I can't help it. Messing around in Fuyuki City like this is really damaging to the reputation of our Tosaka family. Looking away slightly, Tosaka whispered, "I agree to deal with Einzberen first." ”

“……”

Although his tone was cold, Shirou could see that Rin was just as uncomfortable.

Beside him, Ermelo II was silent, silently lit a cigar, he knew nearly ten years ago that the Holy Grail War was a brutal slaughter. At that time, he even encountered the more brutal Heroic Spirits and Masters who called killing an art.

Over the years, as a magician, he has also faced all kinds of cruel and strange scenes. But every time, his heart is still touched by the sound of crying for others. Even though life as a monarch has made him stronger and cheekier than before, it is still sad to see others injured and dead.

I thought that I had grown up compared to that time, but maybe my current irritability and anger because of the same thing is no different from when I was still called Webb Velvett or the kid, no matter how long it has passed, I can't be as pampered as [him] after all.

The eyebrows and lips were trembling slightly, stacking emotions like a kaleidoscope. Or, as "he" said, the guy who can be indifferent to this kind of thing is an abnormal human being.

At this point, Ermelo II froze suddenly, noticing Shirou's unusualness—a teenager younger than himself, who reacted differently than everyone here—and he was indifferent.

This is not the case even for magicians who are very different from human values, or for those heroic spirits that have been seen before. It's not so much callous, it's closer to the difference between humans and non-humans.

Before Ermelo II could come to his senses, Shirou spoke again, "Lancer's Master has a friendship with my father, and for her own purposes, she will also join us against Einzberen tomorrow night. ”

Both Saber and Archer, who had fought against Lancer, knew that this was a formidable Heroic Spirit, and it was good news to have his help.

"If that's the end of the conversation, then I'll go first, I have other things to do." Rin stood up, glanced at Shirou, and folded his hands, "Shirou, there are some things I want to make clear, I don't think we have a good relationship to fight side by side, I only fought with you against Berserker because I couldn't help it, you must not get me wrong." ”

"Well, Rin, you guy......" Ruby tilted her head and said, "That's a complete tsundere...... Babble! ”

Rin immediately grabbed Ruby's head and slammed it against the wall, and Ruby, who seemed to have been knocked unconscious, tilted her head and fell silent. Then Rin turned around and said a little toughly, "It's okay to deal with them, but, I ask you to give me the magic materials I need." ”

"Don't you have a ruby dress?"

"This thing doesn't seem to be reliable."

Shirou raised an eyebrow, it wasn't a problem to give Rin the materials for the magic dress, but those things were now in the warehouse with a pile of munitions that Caster had bought. On the flip side, even if Shirou doesn't agree to this condition, Rin won't refuse to participate in the campaign against Einzberen.

Just as he was about to speak, Caster's voice rang in his head again, causing Shirou to speak a second late.

"That's right...... I refuse! ”

“…… Yes? ”

"Although I want to say this, because of my position as an overseer, it is against the law for me to give you such clear support." Shirou continued to explain in a plain tone: "But this time is an exception, after all, I unilaterally asked for your support, just call the church and tell me, I will bring everything you need tomorrow night, no problem." ”

Rin unconsciously raised her voice: "Hmph! You guy, you still like to annoy people. ”

In fact, Rin felt that Shirou was still hiding something. However, trained by the Templar Church, Shirou's secrecy is rare in the world, and no matter what information he has, as long as he decides not to say it, he will definitely stick to it to the end. The four-character comment of the hot potato is the point that Rin feels the most about him.

Originally, I wanted to ask about some other things, but it is not difficult to imagine that Shirou would definitely pass by without a trace, and since he was a child, Rin has not been able to take advantage of Shirou and his adoptive father.

"Rin." Behind Rin, who was walking towards the entrance, Shirou's deep voice sounded again: "I have a better opinion of you, it seems that you are indeed a strong-willed person, I thought you would be a pacifist who would not even dare to kill insects." ”

"—don't take me for a fool, I'm also a magician. If the other party wants to fight, I will accompany him to the end. ”

In the family motto of the Tosaka family, the magician is accompanied by blood, and it has nothing to do with whether he hurts others or not, and even if he does not do it, the road ahead will inevitably be stained with blood.

Rin Tosaka is ready to come to her senses, and since she is the heir of the Demon Dao family, she is destined to take a different path from ordinary girls.

"By the way, the look of holding a wand really isn't for you, magical girl Rin."

"Long-winded, much better than you bad priest."

The door slammed shut, and Rin left.

"Then I took my leave, and my wand was sent out, and my mission was accomplished. If I meet that stupid disciple of mine, I'll tell him about it. ”

Taking a puff of his cigar, Ermelo II, sensing the opportunity, also got up to take his leave. Because of Shirou's behavior just now, the doubts in his heart have disappeared somewhat, or this young priest is just a person with a bad personality, and there are many weirdos in the world, including his stupid disciple who came to Fuyuki.

……

……

After Rin and Ermelo II left, a thought crossed Illya's mind.

"I always feel that Shirou-kun really has a good relationship with Tosaka."

"Oh?"

Shirou turned his head to look at Illya, who was being looked at by him, and Illya hurriedly lowered her head, her eyes wandering to different places.

"Because, Tosaka is usually so calm, but when she meets Shirou, although she always looks angry, it's an undisguised attitude, only in front of you, she'll be like this, right?"

At school, young women are always competing with each other and comparing themselves to each other, but Rin is an exception, completely free from the kaolin flowers. Girls with this personality are usually ostracized, but Rin doesn't have that happening.

It's just that such a Rin will have an undisguised verbal battle with Shirou, making it impossible to imagine that this is her usually calm and perfect.

What the hell are these two people-

(Huh?) Why? ）

As soon as he finished speaking, his heart throbbed slightly, and an indescribable emotion passed through Illya's mind.

"—really? Actually, I'm jealous of her. ”

"Huh? This is...... What do you mean? Illya was slightly surprised, it was an unexpected answer.

"When we first met, I understood. I'm not as talented as Rin, and I've had times when I've chosen the wrong path and lost a lot of things, and I can't let them go as meaningless. ”

I don't know which path is the right one, so I keep running, but I just blindly get farther and farther away from the goal, and I just keep on the long road.

Ten years after being rescued by Kirei, Shirou just kept repeating the same thing.

But Rin was completely different, and she made up her mind from the beginning and went straight ahead. I used to be really jealous and envious of someone like her who had strong beliefs. ”

It's just that it's different now, and the Holy Grail gives Shirou enough meaning. At the same time, he had to follow the path brought by the Holy Grail, and without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, he embarked on the path of pursuing the Holy Grail like Rin.

“……”

Illya was silent. She now understands that this is not just because of strength, magic and other problems, but also because she lacks other things compared to Tosaka and Shirou.

Probably, if she were alone, she would not have been safe until now, and Illya was able to return to her home thanks to them and Saber. In this regard, Illya deeply felt her weakness.

It's so far away, Illya and them, completely different.

The girl's own beliefs, her own values, and her own existence, she thought about all this. Unlike Elijah, who could only sit in confusion, everyone else was actually walking towards the Holy Cup, pursuing their own path.

The heroic and unrealistic life she once longed for is now incredibly close to her. It's just that when she really needs to make her own choice, can she, like Shirou and them, follow the ideals in her heart and pursue the realization of her ideals?

If freedom has the power to change the world, if it has miracles in its own hands – what are you going to do?
