Chapter 44: The Hunter and the Prey

Fuyuki, an abandoned gas station

"It's up to you in a while~~~~Ueya-san~~~~" Rin confidently patted the shoulder of the most reliable "servant".

"Yes...... It's ......" Kamiya is still struggling with dating.

"Ah~~~~ It's snowing~~~~~" Rin looked at the sky, a little surprised.

"Yes......" Following Rin's exhalation, Kamiya's gaze slid to Rin's thighs again.

"Ahh~~~~~~~~~~h

"Ah, yes." Kamiya also retracted his gaze in embarrassment.

"Think it's unbelievable that I'm like this?" Rin pointed to her slender legs in black stockings.

"Well, although I thought that my senior sister's stockings were warm, there were still parts that the stockings didn't cover...... Isn't it cold......"

"Of course it's not cold~~~~~ after all, I used magic to keep the cold out~~~~~ hehehe~~~~~" Rin laughed happily.

"That's ......," Kamiya understood.

"So~~~~~" Rin suddenly leaned over.

"This can also ease your miss Sakura a little~~~~~~" This sentence explicitly points out the true meaning of the teenager's snooping.

"Uh........................" Kamiya's face turned red at once, and while looking at his thighs, he discussed the stockings casually, but he was broken at the last moment when he thought he was hiding from the world, which was really embarrassing.

"Emiya-san, they're here~~~~~~~" Rin pointed to the distance, not continuing to dwell on the ambiguous question.

"Sister Teng...... No, I confirmed with Mr. Fujimura over the phone just now~~~ She said that Katsuki is still in school. "As soon as the palace came up, it was a serious matter.

"In other words, tonight is the same as usual~~~ Then it's almost time for him to leave school." Rin counted the time.

"Rin~~~Why isn't Archer here?" Saber looked around, not aware of Archer's breath.

"I left him at home...... I didn't want him to meet Caster. Something was hidden in Rin's words.

"What's going on?" Emiya was puzzled.

"Hold on......" Rin crossed the question.

"Since this road leads directly to Yanagidong Temple, it is said that Kazuki will definitely pass through here. We're going to set a trap here and take him on him! ”

"This place is very suitable~~~~ As long as a simple barrier is laid here, although it can't prevent visual vision, the sound insulation effect is very perfect~~~~ Even if the missile falls, it won't be heard by people nearby~~~ How about it?" Rin looked back at Saber.

"Very good." Saber agreed.

"So Saber about the ...... of the operation"

"Tosaka! He seems to have come over~~~~" Wei Gong hurriedly shouted.

"Then I'll simply divide into groups, Saber and Emiya-san in a group, me and Kamiya-san in a group, so that both groups have people who can respond to emergencies, no problem!" Rin said briefly.

"Yes!"

Before Kazuki could go into the alert range, Saber and Emiya infiltrated the nearby woods, and Kamiya and Rin hid inside the abandoned building.

"Sena-sani Tosaka, what are you going to do?" Kamiya, who was squatting on the side, looked at Rin unconsciously.

"It's just a gentle shot of Gandr~~~~~"

"Chirp~~~" A red spell shot out.

"Bang ~~~~~" Ge Mu was hit, and the umbrella in his hand fell to the ground, burning half of it.

"....................." Ueya pays close attention to Kudzuki's movements.

"I should have already advised you~~~Soichiro~~~~" In the air, a woman's voice came.

"Just because this kind of thing happens, you should stay in Liudong Temple~~~~~"

"Not really. In fact, the prey was also caught. Katsuragi took off his glasses and looked back at the source of the attack.

"Alright~~~~ Get out of there~~~ Stupid magician~~~" Caster floated near the abandoned building.

"Give you three seconds, and then I'll pay back what you just did~~~"

"Ueya-san, are you ready? I'll give the order and go up! Rin clenched the gem in his hand.

Suddenly, Emiya Shirou walked out of the forest.

β€œMaster…… Shirou ...... "Saber's voice came over the intercom.

"I know, you must not come out, never!" Kamiya anxiously admonished.

"Yes!" Saber ended the call.

However, the sensitive word "Master" could not escape Rin's hearing.

"It's a surprise~~~~ You seem to have become a little more sensible~~~Little ghost~~~~~" Caster said contemptuously.

"Tosaka and Emiya...... I didn't expect that not only Makiri, but also you. There was a slight regret in Katsuki's words.

"It's a magician, but it's a bad fate."

"Kiri...... So it was ...... to say that it was the who fought against Rider at school that day," Rin and Ueya thought of at the same time.

"Kudzuki! Were you manipulated by Caster? Emiya asked like an idiot.

"What an annoying little ghost~~~ I'll just kill you!" Caster raised his hand.

"Wait......" Katsuragi stopped her.

Why do you have such doubts? Emiya ...... There should be a reason for all doubts, so let's hear it. ”

"You're a very upright person, aren't you?" Emiya looked directly at Katsumi, not in the slightest concern about the great danger contained in it.

"Well, you can't sit idly by and watch what Caster does."

"What did Caster do?" Ge Mu was still expressionless.

"Well, Caster collects mana from the people in the city. To her, humans are sacrifices! As long as Caster is still absorbing the magic, someone will die sooner or later. It won't be long before irreparable consequences are caused! Emiya stated.

"I see, you think that the reason why I, as a Master, let Caster do things is because I was manipulated by her...... Right? ”

"Hmmm! If that's the case, then we'll just take down Caster. But if you knowingly let Caster do evil, then you're a murderer, and I won't show mercy! "The righteousness in Wei Gong's body has overflowed.

"Change of Schedule...... In a while, my senior sister and I will be responsible for containing Caster, and Gemu will hand it over to Saber, no problem, right? Kamiya asked Rin for advice.

"Well, that's all there is to it." It was unrealistic to take down the Servant in a short period of time, and Rin made a judgment in an instant.

The two "Servants" attack each other's Master and Servant, so the odds will be great.

"No, this is the first time I've heard of it." Ge Mu said calmly.

A smile spread across Emiya's face.

(That stupid guy is so touched again, please increase the price of the house at the same time...... Even if Kamiya looked at his back, he could feel that Emiya's aura had softened.

"But the Emiya...... Was Caster's actions really that heinous? Ge Mu asked rhetorically.

"You...... Say what? Emiya's shocked face was covered with "".

"No matter how many people die, it doesn't matter to me, just like they never care if I'm alive or not."

"Ge Mu, you are obviously a magician, but you plan to involve ordinary people!" Emiya regained his sense of justice.

"I'm not a magician, I'm just a murderer who has fallen to the extreme......" Katsuragi said calmly, and Kamiya felt as if something was missing from this man.

"I will not interfere in the Holy Grail War. Even if Caster kills or you fight each other, I'll just watch. I will not take any responsibility for your fight, and you will not be responsible for my life. ”

"Then it's up to you, Caster, whether you let them go or kill them, it's up to you." Kazuki unexpectedly released a declaration of "neutrality".
