Tosaka Residence

Outside the window, it was pouring rain, and looking out the window at the asphalt road that was blackened by the rain, it was hard for Rin to imagine how she managed to make it back.

"Carry Fujimura-sensei into that room!"

"Shirou, are you still conscious?" Rin tried to ask his companion next to him, but all he could see was a large patch of blood stuck to his hand.

"Alright, we're going to start walking." Rin took Emiya into the room more carefully than before.

"That's fine...... Finally saved his life. Looking at the Wei Gong who was wrapped around him into a rice dumpling, Rin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now you can get some rest, Emiya-san."

"Crunch...... Boom! Rin closed the door to Emiya's room.

"Well, Saber was ...... when I broke the barrier," Archer sat in his chair and looked out the window.

"That's all?" Rin, who had just come out of the bath, was blowing her hair with a bath towel.

"However, just knowing Caster's treasure is something to gain." Archer is weighing the gains and losses.

"But that Caster guy is still so naïve, maybe she's a kind woman at heart......"

"You're really indifferent~~~~ Archer~~~~~~ haven't you taken care of Saber?" The sound of urns in the bathroom came out with a girlish voice.

"I don't remember ever doing this~~~~~~ Rin, why do you think that?"

"Well~~~~ If I say it's a woman's intuition~~~~ Can you accept it?"

"Not really." Archer succinctly dismissed Rin's instincts.

"Can you be a woman at your age? First of all, the posture is not enough~~~ is not elegant enough~~~"

"Also...... It's fatal, and I can't find anything lovely about you~~~~~~"

"Hehe~~~What's that~~~~ I'm finally back to state~~~~" Rin, who had just finished freshening up and walked out of the bathroom, had soft hair that exuded the fragrance of a girl.

"Then continue the topic just now~~~~" The slim Rin stood across from Archer.

"One of the evidences that you took care of Saber~~~ When you first met Saber~~~~ deliberately released the water~~~~"

"No matter how strong Saber is, it's hard to imagine that you who are good at defense will be defeated~~~~"

"Because it was a sneak attack, I'm not good at dealing with emergencies like you~~~~~~~~" Archer argued.

"Then, the second piece of evidence ~~~~" Rin ignored Archer's reaction.

"Didn't you provoke Saber after Rider's incident? That's not your style no matter how you think about it~~~~"

"So~~~~~ I understood after thinking about it from a different angle~~~~ You were scolding Saber at that time~~~~"

"......................................................" Archer was speechless.

"Ah~~~~ I guessed right?" Rin looked very happy.

"Sure enough~~~~~ whether it's because of the grievances in your previous life or other reasons~~~~ You rarely take such a cold attitude~~~~~" Rin jumped up and ran to Archer's side.

"Is it~~~~ I think I'm the kind of attitude I have towards no matter who ~~~" Archer's explanation became weaker and weaker.

"Only you think so~~~~~~ I'm thinking~~~~ You only seem clumsy when dealing with your own affairs~~~~~ because you are comfortable dealing with the affairs of the people around you~~~~~ so I will accidentally be deceived by you~~~~~"

"Then ~~~~ you should almost remember~~~~" Rin's face faded from sly.

"Where the hell are you a hero?"

"Since it's related to Saber, it's supposed to be a hero close to Saber's era~~~~~~"

"No, it's still vague." Archer seemed to be avoiding something.

"But as you said, I have an impression of that Saber...... She doesn't seem to know me, though, so it shouldn't be a deep relationship. ”

"Yes~~~~~" Rin clearly didn't believe it.

"Then again~~~~ Rin~~~~~" Archer looked at Rin.

"How's the guy you brought back?"

"Fortunately, I didn't get hit by the vital point~~~~~ but this time the wound didn't heal at all...... I'm afraid it's because the contract was terminated, so the healing power from Saber is gone......" Rin thought carefully.

"Then again, the other idiot doesn't seem to be responding at all until now~~~~~" Rin picked up the phone and broadcast someone's number.

"The phone you are calling is turned off." The microphone was still the same annoying electronic tone.

"Huh~~~~What are you doing~~~~What a fool~~~~" Rin sighed helplessly.

"Rin, this is the end of the contract with that little ghost." Archer said suddenly.

"What?" Rin was caught off guard.

"What's so surprising about that? , Emiya Shirou is no longer a Master, do you want to say that you will continue to take care of him for the sake of being a comrade-in-arms? Archer watched Rin's reaction with his peripheral vision.

"How is it possible~~~ I'm not good enough to be that kind of person~~~~"

"Then ~~~~"

"But...... It's not over yet......" Rin groaned.

Until he offered to give up, the agreement was still valid. Although I will refuse harshly, it is not over until he himself says that he wants to give up......"

"Rin...... "Archer has something else to say.

"That's my policy! Do you have any grievances~~~~Archer~~~~" Rin once again took out the demeanor of a tsundere lady.

"I really can't help you, but I know very well that you are that kind of person~~~~" Archer said reluctantly.

"Let's go~~~~Archer~~~~ to find Caster's lair~~~ to reclaim Saber!" The confidence and pride of being a magician returned to Rin's face.

Winterwood, suburban forest

The sound of "~~~~~~~~" water flowing continued to sound.

"I'm by the river?" The boy opened his eyes, and his blurred vision gradually became clear.

"Ah...... It was raining...... "Looking at the glass blurred by the rain and the gloomy weather outside the window, the boy's mind gradually began to move.

"Huh?" I just wanted to raise my arm, but suddenly I found that I was pressed by something.

"Illya?" The boy turned his head to look, only to find the white-haired girl lying on his arm, asleep.

"This is ......" The teenager's thinking is still very messy.

"Crunch~~~~~" The door was gently pushed open.

"Young Master Kamiya~~~~ It turns out that you have woken up." A maid approached softly.

"Here?" Kamiya, who was lying on the bed, asked softly, for fear of waking up Illya next to him.

"This is a hut in the forest and a refuge for us in Einzberen." The maid saw that Illya was still not awake, so she put on her coat.

"Please have a good rest first, and the details of the situation, please wait for the eldest lady to wake up before talking." The maid gently put down the food and water and bowed away.

"I ......" Uetani, who was lying in bed, began to sort out his memories.

"I remember...... I went first to Illya's castle, and then ...... It seems that she has blocked the flying sword again...... After ......"

"Uh......" A sore dizziness hits, and Ueya's memories are interrupted.

"What the hell is this...... What's wrong? Kamiya lay on the bed, looked at the mess outside the window, and sighed.
