Chapter Seven: The Return of the Demon Sword Swallow (I)

"Brother Naraku is really amazing~~!" Walking on the way back, Illya kept screaming excitedly, although she was very indifferent in front of Rin, but Illya's mood was actually quite excited.

"That's Saber, Saber! The strongest of the seven cards, and King Arthur! Definitely the strongest Saber! My brother Naraku is really the best! Illya smirked her little nose.

Naraku smiled helplessly and said, "Well, because the relationship between the incomplete summoning and the Master is not a regular magician, Saber can't exert his full strength this time." ”

[Even if you play, you can't beat me.] Naraku added a sentence from the bottom of his heart.

"Huh?" Naraku, who suddenly felt that something was being watched, raised his head, and at the same time, his consciousness spread, and his perception spread out almost instantly.

"What's wrong, Berserker?" Seeing Naraku stop, Illya also stopped and asked.

"Detection magic, farsightedness and other magic, well, it doesn't matter, but is it Caster?" Seemingly aware that he had been discovered, Caster stopped the magic and the feeling of being watched vanished.

"On that mountain?" The diffused perception had captured Caster's location, and Naraku turned to Illya, "Master, I've found Caster, are you going?" ”

"Of course." Illya pounced on Naraku. Naraku smiled and caught it, holding her in her arms.

"The guys who dare to provoke me want them to look good, let's go, Berserker."

"Yes." In response to Eliya's call, Naraku jumped high and stepped on the roof all the way to Liudong Temple.

After a few minutes......

"Here...... It feels a little strange, is there an enchantment? Illya looked at the mountain gate and said suspiciously.

"That's right, it looks like it's going to weaken the Heroic Spirit type, but it's useless to me."

I can see through the truth of the enchantment at a glance, but Naraku's own strength has not been suppressed, because his body is condensed according to the standards of the god killer, although the strength has not been reached, but the mana has long been up to the standard, so now Naraku, who is the body of a servant, also has the desperate magic power of Campione, and this level of suppression is completely ineffective for him.

"Sure enough, it came." Suddenly, a man's voice came from above, and Naraku walked up to Illya, her eyes looking ahead, looking at the man in a purple costume with a long knife in hand.

There is no doubt that the other party is a heroic spirit, but Naraku did not feel the magic fluctuations from the other party, and it was like an ordinary person.

Just when Naraku was strange, the man spoke again: "I'm Kojiro Sasaki, rank Assassin, and I've been waiting here for a long time. ”

"Kojiro Sasaki? That famous Japanese swordsman? ”

"I'm not Kojiro Sasaki himself, I'm just an unknown swordsman named after me." The Assassin said and put on a strange posture with the long knife in his hand, "The battle between Your Excellency and Saber, I have been able to meet through the witch on the mountain, I have never seen your Excellency's swordsmanship level is so high, let me ask, can Your Excellency fight with me?" ”

"Even if it's not the real Sasaki Kojiro, it's a dry rod, and the length is really chilling." Naraku laughed, he could see that the other party's simple attributes were several levels worse than Saber, that is, King Arthur, who had fought before, but in terms of the realm of swordsmanship, the other party couldn't catch up with Saber.

Although the more than one-meter-long sword can even be described as a toothpick compared to the so-called ship-chopping knife, the ship-cutting knife is used for gundam, and it is very difficult for humans to use a knife of this length.

"Then let's have a happy sword fight." After removing the amethyst hanging from his neck, and after the dazzling golden magic light lit up, a long sword with a golden magic blade appeared in Naraku's hand, the Thunder Dance Holy Blade.

"It's on!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It seems that the toughest enemy this time is Berserker." In the living room of the Wei Palace, Rin said to the people sitting around with a solemn face.

Naraku's true rank was known from Illya's words.

"I agree with Rin." Saber nodded in agreement with Rin's statement, the injuries he had suffered in the battle with Naraku had been apparently repaired, "Berserker wasn't serious about fighting me at all - even in the end. ”

As he spoke, Saber gritted his teeth and showed an unwilling expression, and it was a big blow to Saber's self-esteem that he was easily defeated by an enemy who was completely unserious in his best melee combat.

"What did you say!?" Rin looked at Saber in surprise, in her opinion, Naraku's swordsmanship was indeed capable of killing people, and she didn't even take it seriously when she used that kind of swordsmanship.

"Yes." Saber nodded earnestly.

"By the way, Saber, do you know that Berserker?"

"Hmmm! He was the one who had messed into the last Holy Grail War ten years earlier, and killed Berserkerized Lancelot in his first appearance. ”

"Wait, you say people?" Rin asked, seemingly incredulous.

"Well, I don't know why, this time he intervened in this Holy Grail War as a Servant." Saber replied earnestly.

"Ahh Rin clutched her hair in annoyance.

Although there are two Servants on his side, they are not opponents at all, and if Saber can exert his full strength, there is still a possibility of victory, but now......

Looking at Shirou sitting on the side, Rin muttered quietly, "If I were Saber's Master, there wouldn't be so many problems......

"What did you say, Tosaka?" Shirou, who vaguely heard Rin talking, asked.

"Nothing, by the way, we ...... Let's make an alliance! ”

"What?"

Shirou, who couldn't react, asked reflexively.

"I say, let's make an alliance!" Rin reverted to his previous demeanor and said to Shirou with his arms crossed and unquestioningly.

"Alliance?" Shirou still couldn't react.

"That's right! Ally! We alone would never be able to defeat that Berserker, so it would take the strength of the crowd to deal with Einzbelen, and I don't believe that he could face the attacks of two Servants at once! ”

Rin affirmatively stated the plan to form an alliance first, and then beat Naraku in groups.

Apparently, she had chosen to forget that neither of her Servants had been able to harm Naraku.

"Yes, yes?" Shirou nodded blankly.

"Excellent! That's it! Let's form an alliance first, and after defeating Berserker, we'll split each other's victories! Rin didn't give Shirou any chance to disagree, and arranged the alliance on his own.

"Then, I'll move in with you from tomorrow!"

"Huh?! Wait a minute! Why did you move to me? It's not about alliances, is it?! Shirou was taken aback, he didn't expect Rin to suddenly make such a bold statement.

"Nonsense! Now that you've formed an alliance, of course you have to stay in the same base! Or you want to be broken by Berserker individually?! ”

"Nope! No! Faced with Rin's questioning, Shirou quickly chose to deny it.

"That's fine! Besides, our relationship is just a simple sharing of a base during the alliance, is it necessary for you to react so much? Do you say ......"

At this, Rin's face darkened in vain, and then turned red again.

"You...... You...... What the hell are you thinking?! Do you think you'll be able to get hold of me if you live with me?! You actually think I'm the kind of frivolous woman?! You complicated-minded bastard!! ”

“…… I, I don't......"

At this moment, Shirou wanted to cry without tears.
