Dense forest ...... outside Einzberen

"The goal this time is to smuggle Sakura back, so don't fall in love."

"Indeed." Archer nodded, "As Rin said, we don't have the slightest chance of winning against that Berserker. ”

"In short, everyone must be careful, and if you encounter that Berserker, run away, Saber, too!" Rin interrupted Saber, who was about to say something, in a strong tone.

Saber opened her mouth, but finally nodded reluctantly.

After all, this infiltration is not a fight, but a rescue.

"I say, how long are you going to grind?"

The sudden sound of the voice made everyone's hearts tighten, and Saber and Archer immediately stood in front of their Master.

However, it was not the Berserker who terrified them, but a handsome man in a purple costume and armed with a long knife.

“Assassin？” Saber called out the man's rank with some surprise.

She had fought with a man in front of the mountain gate of Liudong Temple, and although the opponent's rank was called the weakest Assassin, her elusive sword skills made her sincerely admire.

"Oh, it's Saber." The Assassin nodded to Saber and said, "The last battle had to be interrupted due to Narakuden's order, how about it continue this time?" ”

"Wait a minute, Saber, I'll take on this fight."

Saber was about to speak, but was interrupted by Archer.

“…………… Well, sorry, Assassin. ”

After a moment's silence, Saber nodded.

Since the Assassin is intercepting here, it means that the enemy has discovered their own invasion, and it is bound to face Berserker, so it is better to enter by Saber, who can fight him.

"That's right......... That's fine. ”

Disappointment flashed in the Assassin's eyes, and he looked at Archer with a warlike look.

"The other party is Kojiro Sasaki, be careful." Saber whispered a reminder in Archer's ear.

Archer nodded in understanding, and then projected the Yin and Yang swords.

"Oh? Is it a two-knife stream? "Assassin is in a hurry.

In the legend, it was Sasaki Kojiro who defeated the name inherited by him that it was Miyamoto Musashi, a swordsman of the second sword stream, and even if he was not genuine, Sasaki Kojiro, who didn't know if he existed, couldn't help but get excited when he encountered such an enemy.

"Please, Archer." Rin whispered a command to Archer and ran first.

Seeing Rin and the others enter the city of Einzbelen, the Assassin has no intention of stopping them.

"Is it okay for you to watch the door like this, samurai?" Archer asked, a little sarcastic.

In the face of Archer's taunt, Assassin's expression did not change at all, and he replied very indifferently: "Don't worry, the order given to me by the Master is to act freely, so, can I start?" Archer of the Bow Seat. ”

"Of course."

————————————————————————————————

"Welcome to the city of Einzbelen."

On the top floor of the marble staircase, Elija elegantly saluted the three people who broke into the castle, and then turned to Shirou and asked, "Big brother, how are you thinking about it?" Do you want to be Ilia's Servant? ”

"I refuse."

Once when Naraku was not around, Ilia had already asked when she ran out to play alone, and she still responded without thinking.

Illya puffed out her cheeks unhappily, stomped her foot slightly, and snorted.

"Elijah Sophie, why are you involved in unrelated civilians?" Rin asked aloud.

But Illya didn't answer Rin's question, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at her tightly, and said coldly, "Rin, I said it, I'll kill you next time we meet." ”

"Wait a minute, Illya!" Shirou's voice took Illya's eyes off Rin.

Rin quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was not the slightest murderous intent in Eliya's sight.

However, Rin understands that she really wants to kill herself.

"Where's Sakura?"

"Sakura?"

Illya tilted her little head suspiciously, and then suddenly said as if she suddenly realized: "It's the little girl of the Tong family." ”

Even though she is only about ten years old, she is called a "little girl" who is a high student, which is really disobedient.

And, rarely, there was a palpable disgust in Elija's voice.

"She's not here, Berserker took her away."

"Huh?"

Shirou was stunned, a little disappointed, but also a little relieved, at least Sakura is still safe and sound now.

"Ah, here you are."

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Illya.

"Berserker............" Saber clenched the invisible sword in his hand.

"Give Sakura back, Berserker!" Shirou shouted.

"Huh!? What qualifications do you have to speak to me like that, half-ass? ”

Naraku slowly walked down the stairs, without any other movements, the movements were so natural, but the majestic magic that filled his body made the three people in front of him feel heavy pressure.

"For the time being, you can rest assured that this girl is necessary for the advent of the Holy Grail, and I will not do anything to her."

"Don't you ......" Rin exclaimed in a voice as her face changed dramatically.

"Ah, that's it." Naraku laughed heartily, then jumped with the force of smashing the earth, and appeared in front of Saber the next moment.

Then, before Saber could react, he plunged a short knife with a sinuous blade into her chest.

“Sa…… Not! ”

At the same time, Shirou held his left hand in pain.

"What's wrong? What the hell is this ......?"

When the pain wore off, Shirou looked at the back of his left hand.

The spell is weirdly gone.

"What's going on? What exactly did you do? ”

Clutching his chest, Saber glared at Naraku with a fierce gaze.

Naraku smiled slightly, didn't answer, just showed his left hand.

On the back of his hand, a sword-shaped spell appeared in everyone's sight.

"It's ......... My Command? Shirou's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's right, Rulebreaker." Naraku played with the dagger in his hand and said, "It is said to be the blade of betrayal and filth that can invalidate all contracts, and now, Saber is my Servant. ”

With a snap of his fingers, golden magical chains shot out of the void, binding Saber's hands and feet, pulling her to an old cross, hovering behind Naraku.

Saber was still struggling, but Naraku just put his hand in her eyes before she was overwhelmed.

"What's going on, Rin?"

At this moment, Archer also entered the castle, he looked at Naraku, Saber who was unconscious on the cross, and Ilia who was looking at Saber with interest, and frowned.

"Saber has become Berserker's Servant."

Rin's brief answer deepened the wrinkle between Archer's brows, and he turned his gaze to Naraku, who was looking at him.

"Archer." Naraku spoke, "You're a very interesting Servant, at least much more interesting than the stupid guy hanging from above, and now I have a proposal, with Saber, Caster, and Assassin all our Servants, you alone can be said to have no chance of winning, how, do you want to join here?" This is a chance for you to make your true wishes come true. ”

“………… All right. After a moment's thought, Archer replied.

"Archer, you!?"

"Things have changed, Rin." Archer walked slowly towards Naraku and said, "As Berserker said, he was arguably the strongest Heroic Spirit, and now that he is allied with Caster and Assassin, even Saber is on that side, there is no chance of winning here, I am only acting for my purpose, and whoever can bring me this opportunity to achieve this purpose will join whichever side I can." ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of Naraku.

"Alright, let's use the Contractbreaker Blade." Naraku curled the corners of her mouth slightly, "Interesting." ”

Archer's body shuddered slightly.

The Broken Spell had already been inserted into his chest, reaching the handle.

“Assassin。” With a soft call, the purple-clad samurai immediately appeared behind Naraku.

"Finally, two more words, the first sentence is that the Holy Grail will descend on the Liudong Temple, and the second sentence is that if you can still defeat me from this state, I will give you a reward equivalent to a miracle."

Naraku stretched out a finger and swiped it lightly in front of him, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, a "door" appeared in front of them.

"Wait!"

At Shirou's shouts, the crowd from Einzberen's side walked in.

"Ah, I forgot to say a word, if you want to come, you'd better be prepared to die, my reward is not so easy to get."

After such a sentence came out of the "door", the improvised "door" disappeared with the owner's will.

"Shirou......" Rin looked at Shirou with a solemn expression.

"Hmmm! Liudong Temple, I will definitely go. Shirou made up his mind and said firmly.

The sun slowly sinks in the west.

Night, is coming.
