Night, winter wood, street

"Illya~~~~ How is the situation at home?" Rin held up her phone and contacted Illya.

"Haaa~~~~~~~~~" But she was answered by a string of yawns.

"That ..............." Rin felt a little pain.

"It's okay to have Saber at home for a vigil, I'm going to sleep, Saber ~~~~~~~~~ if Rin calls again in a while, you'll @*(&)(*@% do that~~~~~~~~" Illya obviously wanted to dump the pot at Saber.

"Okay, I see......" Rin hung up weakly.

"It's so quiet......" Kamiya enjoys the silence around him.

"Well, but it's too quiet." Rin's hint reminds Ueya of his original mission to fight against something evil.

The two of them said as they walked towards the dark town.

When the two of them reached the halfway point, suddenly the road in front of them seemed to end into a black wall, and after the two entered through the wall, a desolate atmosphere came over them.

"Is this here, Archer, what's going on?" Rin called Archer, but the other party didn't answer.

“Archer？” Rin called again, still unanswered.

"Trouble ......" Kamiya's relaxed mood finally began to tense.

"We're still ...... by that cargo again," Ueya's distrust of Archer was palpable.

"The three spells are here, it shouldn't be ......" Although the situation is a little abnormal, Rin doesn't plan to use the spell yet.

"It's normal here, there's no sign of a Servant fight like smashing windows, tearing down doors, and lifting roofs." Kamiya looked around, Rin consciously following him closely.

"But there is no living breath in it, and one household is still reasonable, but it is all like this......" Rin's little fists clenched tightly.

"Kamiya-san, let's go into that house and have a look......" Rin walked in front of Kamiya.

"Ah...... Oh, yes...... There's no one anyway......" Kamiya was a little hesitant at first, but then he was relieved when he figured it out.

Rin put on her gloves and magically opened the door, walked into the hall, and circled the first floor before going up to the second floor to continue her investigation.

"In the dark-lit house, everyone is ......," Rin looked very sad.

"Oh......"

"Whoa~~~" Rin noticed that there was a sound at the same time that someone was walking behind her.

"Shi ......" Rin turned around to prepare for the battle to find that Kamiya-san's bag was carried out of nowhere, and it looked like it was full.

"You...... You ......" Rin held her head speechless.

"There is a record in the books of the Tosaka family~~~~ If you are in good physical condition, the success rate of magic will also increase, and there is no owner anyway, so it doesn't hurt to take some~~~~~~" Kamiya said, rummaging through the cabinets and searching for valuable things, wallets, coins, jewelry and other items of high or low value, all of which were packed and carried away by him.

"Is it okay to go home and give you a gem to buy~~~~~~~" Seeing Rin's distressed appearance, Kamiya decided to sacrifice the magic weapon of "Fenzang".

"Ahem...... Since...... Since you are sincere...... So...... cough cough ...... "In the face of the money offensive, even the eldest lady is not exempt from vulgarity.

Then the two went around a few more houses, but the situation was exactly the same, the difference was that Ueya got a bicycle out of nowhere, and the frame behind the handlebar seat was full of large and small bags.

"Ugh!" Suddenly, Rin shuddered all over.

"Suddenly...... It's getting dark......" Kamiya looked up at the sky.

"Are you coming......" Rin's nervous tone woke up Kamiya, who was immersed in the dream of making a fortune.

The humid air, gradually frozen, the feeling of heartbeat gradually felt discordant, it was a human instinct, the instinct to avoid threats, and it was clear that something very bad was approaching the two of them.

(Run, don't look at it.) Although instinct drove them to flee, the two on a mission refused the order to escape

The two of them turned their necks to the point of numbness, only to find that a pitch-black "shadow" was standing not far behind them.

The space around it seemed to be distorted, swallowing everything around it like a black hole.

Rin's body kept shaking, and sweat was evident from the hand that was clutching Ueya's sleeve.

It was as if everything had stopped.

It had no eyes, no hands or feet, no body, and even so, there were black shadows falling from its feet, dark outlines outlined by the devoured light.

At this moment, the shadow was slowly, like a snake that had seen its prey, and stretched out a black hand towards Rin......

However, Rin, who is stunned, no longer has any ability to resist.

"Collapsed~" The bicycle in Kamiya's hand fell to the ground.

"Ugh!" The murmur abruptly interrupted the sluggishness of the two, and Rin hurriedly jumped back, and Ueya drew his sword.

"Hum~~~~" The sword that had just come out of its sheath burst out with dazzling light.

"Woo woo woo ~~~~~~" seemed to feel the expulsion of the holy relic to the darkness, and the black shadow gradually faded.

"To ...... Do you want to chase it......" Rin swallowed.

"Also...... Still is...... From...... From the long ...... Deliberation...... ......"The pressure was so great that both of them needed time to analyze and relieve.

"It's okay~~~Master~~~~" At this time, Archer arrived from the side.

"Almost died~~~~~ Rin sighed for the rest of her life, the impact so loud that she didn't want to hold Archer's guards accountable for the time being.

"I was put on the ground, I was trapped by a maze array, I just came out, it seems that the other party is also prepared." Archer frowned.

"Separate us as much as possible, and eliminate ...... if you have a chance" Rin, who calmed down a little, his mind still turned quickly.

"Go back today, there's a lot of information to exchange, and it doesn't look like you're doing very well here." Archer was rarely serious.

"What is this?" That's when Archer realized that the bike had fallen next to Kamiya.

"If it hadn't collapsed, you'd have to find a new master now~~~~~~~" Rin said to herself, ignoring Kamiya, who had gone to help the bike.

"Ah~~~That's right~~~~Archer~~~~ We can't get out the bank card, do you have a way?" Kamiya pulled one out of a large pile of cards.

"Hey~~~~~ it's really not a waste of time~~~~~~~~" Looking at the big bags on the bicycle and the bank card in Ueya's hand, Archer understood in seconds.

"Leave it to me, seeing how frightened you two are, this little thing can be regarded as an apology." Without the righteous words of "Lord Heroic Spirit" in Kamiya's consciousness, Archer silently used his actions to compensate for the unfavorable mistakes of the guards.

Fuyuki, another street

"Oh yes~~~~~ it's also troublesome if you don't know how to measure~~~~~ although it's for the sake of it, but it's almost impossible to recycle." A short old man on crutches sneered, and with his pale skeleton melted into the darkness, wandering through the deserted town.

The direction of his gaze was the trio of young girls and heroic spirits, and the old man frowned, as if he was a little stressed.

"Master Magician, do you want to kill them here?" The pale skeleton suggested to the old man beside him.

"Kill them if you can, Saber and Archer, and that obsessed Master...... Of course, it would be nice to be able to get rid of it. The old man muttered to himself.

(If you continue to be called around by the little girl of the Tosaka family like this, sooner or later she will be included in the Tosaka family, in that case...... I'm afraid that even the next Holy Grail War will be affected....... "Saber's master's strength and alliance with Rin, Illya, and Emiya Shirou have all made the old man no longer optimistic about this Holy Grail War, but these can't be said to the Servant around him.

"Then ......," the Assassin turned to strike.

"That's all for today." The old man stared deadly ahead, where the boy and the girl were.

"Everything in this world has its advantages and disadvantages, and since the strength of the other party is superior, then there must be its disadvantage."

"So, Magician, do you want the boy to push that last blow?" Assassin asked, somewhat surprised.

"Exactly, it is appropriate to use him for the opening. Although she had grown up beyond her expectations, she had been able to sustain it to such an extent thanks to the hope that the boy had given her. Then, you should give him the joy that kills this hope~~~~"

"But if you let him get close......" there was a hesitation in Assassin's words, apparently unsure if he would be able to block the boy's full force from close behind.

"Hehehehe~~~~ Don't worry, a young man with such a mind at this age will have his impulse stifled by his own reason~~~ Hahaha~~~~~" The old man smiled happily, which contained the hobby of abuse and joy.

Reveling in its own brilliant plans, its short, thin body crumbling like a skeleton.
