In a hidden room, two figures are playing against each other on a chessboard.

“Archer… Finally, there is a handy servant. A certain girl held a chess piece in the shape of an archer in her hand, chuckled and said, "In this way, all the servants will be together." ”

"The rest will be eliminated one by one~!"

The figure sitting on the other side of the chessboard was silent, and after hearing the declaration of the girl opposite, he pointed to the remaining chess pieces.

"Which one to destroy first?" The girl glanced at the chessboard, and then placed the chess pieces in the shape of an archer in front of the chess pieces in the shape of a swordsman~!

"Rare rank restraint, of course... Saber~！ ”

…

Chino's residence.

"I'm sorry, Lie-sama." Fangchuan. Chisato knelt on the mat, supported the ground with both hands, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry for hiding the fact that Artoria is actually a Rider before~!" ”

Lie there, Fangchuan. After Chisato finished speaking, he waited for Lord Lie's decision.

“…”

"Raise your head~" Lord Lie said softly, and at the same time leaned down and came to Fangchuan. Thousands of miles in front of you.

Holding Fangchuan with his hand. Chisa's chin, the faces of the two sides are very close to each other, one high and one low because of the posture they are in.

"Lord Lie..."Fang Chuan. Chisato looked at the face of Lord Lie, who was close at hand, and said with anxiety, "But..."

"Shh~!" Lord Lie stretched out a finger and pressed it against Fangchuan. Chisato lips and then in Fangchuan. Chisato took a breath in his ears and said, "Chisa is so unbelievable, I have to punish him..."

Oh~, there are a lot of roses around, but I smell the fragrance of lilies~!

A layer of blush appeared on the face, Fang Chuan. Chisato said shyly: "Well, no matter what kind of punishment Lie-sama proposes, Chisato will..."

"Don't say goodbye."

"Hmm... Well? ”

"Let's not see each other again." Lie-sama stayed away from Fangchuan. Thousands of miles, the figure is getting farther and farther away, and the surroundings seem to have become a cold winter.

"Lord Lie..."Fang Chuan. Chisato stretched out his hand, but Ryū-sama's figure became more and more blurred until it disappeared, and everything fell into darkness.

“…”

"Master? Master~! Artoria pushed her master and shouted, "Please cheer up~!" ”

“…”

"Huh?" Finally, Fangchuan. Chisato wakes up from her fantasy and finds herself sitting in the living room.

Yes, Fangchuan today. Chisato brought Artoria to find Ryol-sama and his party, who were waiting in the living room at this time. As for the scene just now? Fangchuan, of course. Chisato fantasized out without permission... （—_—！

“…”

"I've been waiting, Yoshikawa-san." Lie came to the living room, greeted him, and explained, "They are still outside and haven't come back... Soon, though, this morning's fire-building collection was over. ”

"Yes, that's right... So when I first came, only Xiao Nan was at home. "Fangchuan. Chisato nodded, peeking at Lie.

As the time spent together grew, Fangchuan. Chisato becomes more and more guilty of hiding that Artoria is a Rider and not Saber.

Similarly, because of the increase in time spent together, Fangchuan. It became increasingly difficult for Chisato to open his mouth to explain the matter to Ryū-sama.

Sit to Fangcheon. In front of Chisato, Lie brought a teapot and poured tea for her and Artoria, and said to them, "I didn't agree to meet today... No, it's not that you can't come without an agreement..."

"Ahem," Lie paused for a moment, then said, "It's just, it's still early, right?" ”

There is a clock hanging on the wall next to it, and the time is seven and ten o'clock... 7:10 a.m.~!

Considering that Xiao Nan called twenty minutes ago to say that Fang Chuan's classmates were visiting, it was even earlier when he arrived... If it wasn't for something urgent, it wouldn't have come so early, would it?

"..."Fangchuan. Chisato held the teacup and lowered his head.

"In fact, we were attacked." Seeing that it was difficult for her lord to speak, Artoria spoke.

"Just around five o'clock in the morning, we were attacked at our residence... The other party is、Archer~! ”

“Archer~！” When Lie heard his message, he couldn't help but look solemn... At the moment, there is very little information about Archer, and his real name is unknown, except that he is a strong Heroic Spirit.

"When you see him, you don't just feel like you're able to end the fight." Fangchuan. Chisato recalls the scene from the previous battle and evaluates Archer.

“… I always feel that it is a very subtle evaluation. Lie lowered his head and fell into thought.

Yesterday, Lie and Archer had an inexplicable fight, and Lie was very strange at that time. If the girl you met in the shop was Archer's master, it was hard to imagine that she would simply give the order to attack.

What's even more strange is that Archer asked "Where is the Master", which is very abnormal no matter how you look at it. So, after going back, Lie went to inspect the scene with Zero again.

Not only the store, but also the surrounding area Yeol, I searched and found something new.

At the entrance to a small alley near the store, Lie picked up a glove... With the ability to never forget, Lie is sure to be the one that the girl wears on her right hand~!

This makes it even more strange, why discard the gloves? Lie can't think of a reason, and this、I'm afraid that's the crux of the matter.。

“…”

Pulled away, looking at the distressed Fangchuan in front of him. Chisato and Artoria, Lie thought for a moment and quietly sent a message on their mobile phones.

"How's the battle going?" Yeol asked Fangchuan. Details of the attack on Chisato and Artoria.

"Very strong." Artoria, as the actual fighter, said how she felt.

"Unpretentious, but powerful archery, and good at hand-to-hand combat... Especially the defense, the body is very tough, and the degree of toughness is unimaginable..."

To be able to get such a high evaluation from Artoria, it seems that that Bow Rank Heroic Spirit is really not ordinary.

"If you fight with all your might... The outcome cannot be predicted. ”

"Unpredictable?" Lie looked at Artoria... When she says this, she can't be sure that she can outperform the other person.

At this time, Artoria has experienced two spiritual base returns, and her body has been strengthened by the 'Barbarian Heart', which is not the same as when she first met.

"Then we have to work together to destroy... This was originally the purpose of joining forces. Lie nodded, checked the reply text message on his phone, and smiled at Fang Chuan. Chisato and Artoria made the offer.

"There's no way to know for sure when Archer's next attack will be, so... You're going to live here for a while, right? Lie said, "Chino has already agreed, as long as Yoshikawa-san and Artoria also agree..."

"Live here?" Fangchuan. Chisato was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Artoria, who was sitting on one side.

"Very good decision." Artoria analyzed very seriously: "Caster is guarded by a powerful enchantment, and it is difficult for the enemy to invade easily. ”

"If you live together, you're less likely to be broken alone... This was a good tactical decision until Archer's threat was removed. ”

“…”

"In that case..."Yoshikawa. With a smile in the heart, she was about to agree to Lie's proposal.

"But," Artoria said in a tone of turn again, "if you live together, the chances of Archer coming are lower." ”

"Huh? Isn't that great? ”

Artoria sat there, not speaking immediately.

"Could it be that you want to..."Lie blinked, thinking about Artoria's words, and guessed, "Lure the enemy?" ”

…

Late at night, Fangchuan. A home of thousands of miles.

"I'm going to rest first." Coming out of the bathroom, after a small bath, Fangchuan. Chisato said to Artoria.

"Good night, Master." Artoria sat in the living room with a cup of tea in her hand and didn't look sleepy.

"It's hard work..."Fang Chuan. Chisato stood behind Artoria and whispered to her, "Because I don't know when Archer will attack, I have to stay here all night." ”

After saying that, Fang Chuan. Chisato walked towards the bedroom, where Artoria sat motionless.

“…”

The lights in the room went out and fell silent.

Occasionally, there is the sound of running water, which is my king pouring tea.

Occasionally, there was a slight chewing sound, which was the king eating.

All in all, the whole house is very quiet.

“…”

Fangchuan. Outside Qianli's residence, a gaze has been observing this place.

Archer sits in the corner of a 24-hour fast-food restaurant, just in front of Fangchuan. The situation of the Senri family... It's been nearly two hours since the lights went out, and I'm in a state of 'sleeping soundly' no matter how I think about it.

The biggest threat is the Heroic Spirit who is suspected to be Saber staying inside... The reason why I say suspicious is because according to Archer's knowledge, there is another Heroic Spirit who is suspected to be Saber.

Compared to the eye-catching Heroic Spirit, the Heroic Spirit who lived here was obviously more easy to attack, so Archer chose this place first.

As for why? A bitter smile appeared on Archer's face, and he glanced at the black-framed eyes in his pockets... This is an item that girls usually use to cover up.

The cup in his hand made a 'zizi~' sound, and it seemed that he had drunk it all... It's time to get your hands dirty.

Archer thought so, and in an instant, the spirit vanished around him, and the walls around him were breached as if they were nothing.

“…”

The next moment, Archer appeared in Fangchuan. The room of Chisari... Breaking into a girl's room is not a gentleman's behavior, let alone twice...

Archer was frustrated... It's a similar scene in the morning, except they're all awake at the time... God knows why it's already up at five in the morning.

Theoretically, that's the last time before waking up, and you should have slept soundly.

"I'm sorry," thought to himself, Archer reached out and released the silent enchantment here.

Hawkers,It seems that this is a servant who knows a thing or two about enchantments (laughs~... It's really just a little bit of a thing or two (—_—!)

If you don't have a master, the Servant's combat power will be reduced by a bit, especially if there is less interference from the spell.

After doing this, Archer's figure came to the living room and let out his breath without care... That's right, Archer just wanted to make the suspected Saber heroes aware of him.

With a "poof~" sound, the moment Archer appeared, Artoria's long sword slashed across his neck... Unfortunately, there is still a short distance.

“Archer？” Artoria looked at each other... He wore only private clothes, no armor, and no bow.

Artoria was similar in this regard, wearing only her personal clothes, and her silver armor was not on her body.

Archer nodded slightly, then looked out, as if to tell Artoria to go outside and fight.

Artoria's gaze fell on the Master's room, should it be...

The bow appeared in Archer's hand and was aimed at Yoshikawa. Qianli's room, and then the spirit left the house.

"A warning?" Artoria glanced into the Master's room, pondered for a moment, and chased after the same spirit... After a while, Archer and Artoria arrived at a park not very far from Yoshikawa's home.

With his back to Artoria, Archer smiled and said, "Leave the Master at home by himself, aren't you worried?" ”

"It's Archer to worry about, right?" Artoria clenched the long sword in her hand, and the king who knew the strength of the other party came up and used the ability to release magic power~!

An astonishing momentum was unleashed from Artoria's body, and silver armor appeared on him, and the king slashed at Archer with his sword raised.

Archer tugged on the bowstring, and a large number of arrows appeared in the sky, falling before Artoria approached.

"Boom~!"

The ground instantly became full of holes, and our king slashed several arrows in succession, getting close to the other party.

The sword slashed mercilessly, and the strengthened power was unusually swift, and Archer resisted with only his bow.

The sound of "bang~" kept coming, and Artoria and Archer fought together, and the light flickered incessantly. The aftermath caused the devastation soon turned the tranquil park beyond recognition.

It's late at night, so there are no pedestrians around, so you don't have to worry about causing trouble. As the latter, Li Hui and Jiu will immediately rush to the scene to deal with the damage caused by the Heroic Spirits.

For example, now, Jiu ensures that Artoria and Archer's battle will not be discovered by ordinary people, and it is also their duty to prevent ordinary people from intervening.

"Why are you not motivated?" After a period of fighting, the effect of my king's magic power disappeared and turned back into a private server.

The Archer on the other side has always been in private clothes, and the armor has not been worn on his body... If it's not that the magic power is not enough to summon the armor, it means that the other party has not been serious.

His eyes froze, and noticing that the other party only showed a helpless expression, but did not mean to answer, Artoria rushed over again.

And this time, it's not just Artoria who rushes over, but also the magic of nursery rhymes~!

“…”

Violent pillars of fire and icicles appeared in the park, gushing out right at Archer's feet, and a large number of chocolate soldiers appeared around them.

The King used his Leader abilities, and the strength of these chocolate soldiers increased, and they formed a phalanx to attack Archer.

Archer shook his head, stretched out his bow, pulled the string... A rain of arrows formed in an instant, scattering from Archer's position in all directions, and the Chocolate Soldiers vanished after being hit by the arrows.

“…”

"What a strong force." Lie, Chino, Fangchuan. Qianli and his party hid near the park, and it was not only shocking to see this scene, but Archer's strength was really strong.

"However, I won't let the other party escape this time~!" Lie said with confidence that for this moment, he has been planning for a long time~!
