"Has it been discovered?" Archer fended off Artoria's attack as he thought, "Sure enough, I'm not good at assassination..."

"It might have been better if it had been a frontal assault."

Dodging a straight slash, Archer had the idea of retreating, but the enchantment was already enveloped around him.

It's not difficult to break through, but it's not so easy to escape pursuit... Archer pulled the bowstring again, and a rain of arrows appeared in the air, smashing into the already potholed ground.

"Boom~!"

Before the smoke and dust from the explosion had yet to land, several five-star arrays appeared around Archer, and purple chains extended from inside, locking Archer.

At the same time, Artoria, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, raised her black long sword, and the 'EX Curry Stick' was released~!

The pillar of light instantly flooded Archer, and the purple chains that the nursery rhyme used to bind Archer disappeared the moment it came into contact... No matter how strong Archer's flesh is, it can't withstand this blow, right?

“…”

The park is in half, but luckily there will be a good latter to restore it later, so don't worry about that now.

Everyone's eyes fell on where Archer was before he was engulfed in the pillar of light, and when he could see clearly, Archer's figure was still standing.

"Not really..."

Is it okay to be attacked with such a powerful attack?

No, if you look closely, Archer is injured... However, in this situation, Archer still smiled like a child.

"It seems that if you don't use the treasure, you won't be able to win." Archer, who breathed faintly, said as he drew his bow again.

Seeing that Archer seemed to be about to use the Noble Phantasm, Lie ran out of the secret place and came to Archer while he was weak.

"Please wait a minute." Lie held an object in his hand and said to Archer, "Is this an item from the Archer Master?" ”

“…”

In Lie's hand was a glove, the same one that the girl was wearing on her right hand.

"Yes." Archer lowered his bow for a moment and responded.

"She's really Archer's Master..."A wry smile appeared on Lie's face, he didn't expect to meet Archer's Master, and chatted happily for a while.

"If it's her... We should be able to talk. After a pause, Lie continued, "It's weird, she doesn't look like that... The lord who attacked suddenly. ”

"Anyway, there's a lot of anomalies in this... So can we talk about that first? Rye asked, hoping as he walked in to Archer and prepared to hand him the gloves, which were Archer's belongings.

Looking at Lie who came over, Archer had inexplicable emotions in his eyes, and silently stretched out his hand and took the glove.

"Master Ritsu..."Chino and Zero watched in the dark, and from the moment Ryu came out, they were very worried, and Archer was very strong even if he was injured.

"There's no need to negotiate," Archer looked at the glove for a long time, then shook his head slowly.

"I know you have nothing to do with my Master's disappearance, but..."Archer's gaze focused on Lie's body, and he said seriously, "If you want my Lord to be safe, you have to..."

Archer's eyes gave a clear meaning, that is, to destroy the Lie party... More precisely, the elimination of Artoria and nursery rhymes, right?

Hearing Archer's words, many thoughts flashed through Lie's heart, so he asked Archer, "Is there anything I can do to help?" ”

“…”

Archer shook his head again, smiled and said, "Just fight me... That's all. ”

The bow appeared in his hand and was slowly pulled up, and there was no longer any possibility of continuing the negotiation.

Lie sighed and stepped back, Archer didn't look like he had any intention of attacking him... From beginning to end, Archer's goal seems to be the Immortal and its Master.

“…”

After Archer left, although he looked like he was fighting again, he suddenly became a spirit and disappeared.

Lie can see in the soul network that Archer did not attack, but chose to leave.

After thinking for a moment, Lie shook his head at the nursery rhyme and said to everyone, "No need to chase... Let's go back. ”

“…”

Fangchuan. A home of thousands of miles.

Lie and his entourage sat in the living room, there was no kotatsu here, but there was air conditioning... In fact, it's more convenient.,Chino's home just didn't turn on the heating because he wanted to use the kotatsu more.。

"I'm sorry, I don't have too many pajamas at home, so I have to use old ones..." Chisato said apologetically: "But I often take it out to wash and dry, except for some old ones, it is still very clean." ”

“…”

No, if you don't say it, I don't feel like it's old at all~!

Lie looked at the pajamas he was wearing, and the meaning of 'old and new' was refreshed in his heart.

"Ahem," Lie paused for a moment and said gratefully, "I'm going to trouble Fangchuan-san today... Let's stay here for one night. ”

That's right, tonight Lie and his entourage will all live in Fangchuan's house, which is exactly the opposite of Lie's initial proposal.

According to Artoria's thoughts, since Archer might come back to attack her, then wait here. It's a good idea for Archer to be unsure of his whereabouts, but to take some risks.

In order to prevent Rcher from discovering that there was an ambush, Lie and Chino moved away from Fangchuan a little. Thousands of miles to live.

"Lord Lie, why don't you chase after you?" Artoria asked, seeing that everyone was seated.

Fangchuan. Chisato poured tea while taking out some snacks... Obviously, no one is going to sleep for the time being.

"Because I'm confused." In the face of my king's inquiry, Lie could only give a vague answer, and after a pause, he continued: "Let's sort it out first... About Archer's situation. ”

“…”

Archer, whose real name is unknown, has discovered the ability to make arrows, which means the ability to instantly form a rain of arrows... It's hard to imagine carrying that many arrows at any one time, so it's most likely that Archer has the ability to spawn arrows with mana.

In a sense, this ability is quite strong, as long as there is magic, it is infinite ammunition.

And then there's a strong defense, or a strong body... If you are not wearing armor, you will be able to escape from the attack of Artoria Noble Phantasm's Sword of Victory.

However, it still caused a lot of damage, as can be seen from Archer's last weak breath... Therefore, Artoria was puzzled by the fact that Lord Lie did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

As for Archer's master, the girl that Ryu met in the shop... According to Lie's impression, it is a girl who should be quite gentle, and it is hard to imagine a merciless attack in the blink of an eye.

And, judging by the 'discarded gloves' that were found afterwards, and Archer's reaction... The girl is likely to be missing~!

It's hard to imagine assumptions, but after all impossibility is ruled out, the Archer Master disappears... Or rather, the likelihood of being attacked is high.

And Lie and his entourage, probably after the girl's disappearance, was discovered by Archer, and mistakenly thought that Lie and his party did it, so they launched an attack.

In this way, a lot of things will be explained...

“…”

"Lord Lie," Chino raised her small hand and asked, "Why was Fangchuan-san attacked?" ”

“…”

Well, it might have something to do with Archer's master... Yeol recalls Archer's expression when he handed the girl's gloves to Archer.

There was very little emotion of surprise, almost none, and there was no idea that asked Yeol where he got it.

If Archer really disappeared, Archer should be very concerned about it, such an expression obviously contradicts the reasoning just now... Therefore, Archer probably already knows where his master is~!

"In that case, shouldn't Archer go to his master?" This time, it was Yoshikawa who asked the question.

“…”

"So," Lie pushed down his non-existent eyes and came to the conclusion, "Archer's Master may be controlled by another Master~!" ”

“…”

The girls reacted differently, apparently a little unexpectedly by this answer.

"Come to think of it, why would someone attack Archer's Master?" Lie continued: "At this time, it is almost certain that it is related to the Holy Grail War. ”

"In this case, the other party should be the same being... The reason, of course, is for the victory in the Holy Grail War. ”

"As long as you threaten your life, then order your servants by threatening the Master, it's easy to make sense." Lie paused for a moment, then continued, "The reason why I attacked Artoria was probably because..."

Fangchuan. Chiri's heart tightened, but Lord Lie still brought up this matter.

“… Because of rank restraint~! ”

Archer restrained Saber, which is why Archer came to attack Artoria, because Artoria was the one in this Holy Grail War...

"Arnold..."Yoshikawa. Chisato lowered his head and stood up in pain.

Timing sucks to say it now, but...

Fangchuan. Chisato, I don't want to continue to hide it~!

…

Inside a building.

"Not Saber?" A figure sat on the couch, listening to Archer's words.

"There's no evidence but—" Archer said with a smile, "the girl with the black sword isn't Saber. ”

“…”

"That's right." The figure on the other side seemed to believe Archer's words, and said, "Saber, then... That one, right? ”

“…”

The TV next to me starts and a concert is displayed on the screen...

…

The scene of the concert.

"Crawl at Yu's feet, cheer for Yu's song~!" Nero stood on the stage with the microphone in hand, shouting to the fans, "The last song of the night..."

Background.

"Good work, apricots..." Fumi said to the girls in front of her, "You've been with us all this time. ”

"Where... It is a great honor to be a member of the band of Lord Arisu and Lord Nero. Several girls glanced at each other, and they all had an incredible feeling.

About a week ago?

Arisu. Fumi suddenly came to them, saying that she was going to make her debut and that she had a new partner joining. The apricots participated with curiosity, and a fantastic week began.

Since the first concert, it has not stopped, and the fans have grown extremely strong from the beginning.

"I admire Lord Nero very much." Kyoko said: "After a week's concert, not only did I not get tired, but I was more energetic. ”

"Nero, she... I love singing. "Arisu. Fumi smiled, probably remembering when she first met Nero.

The cheers from the audience and Nero's singing on the stage reached the backstage, and after the girls listened for a while, there was a perch. Fumi said to everyone with a solemn expression: "In the next concert, let's continue to work together..."

"Perhaps, it's the last one..."

"Thank you all for your hard work, if you can, I would like to hold a special concert..."

…

Arisu. Fumi was in a sad mood because a good friend was leaving.

"No way, this is probably what people often call 'fate'"

After tonight's concert, Arisu. Fumei and Nero went home together and stayed in the room at this time.

"As Heroic Spirits, fighting and retreating are inevitable, whether victorious or defeated." After Nero had bathed, she lay on her bed, talking to her master.

"Yu Ke did not have the desire to use the Holy Grail to obtain the continued existence of the flesh, and was able to sing as an idol to his heart's content, and Yu was very satisfied this time."

"So, there's nothing to regret, Virtuoso."

"After tomorrow's concert, Yu will go to challenge 'Hercules', and since he can't communicate in words, he has to use force."

"Haha~, after defeating Hercules, Yu will continue to look for other servants to fight... Until the remnants are defeated and retreated, or completely victorious. ”

"Singing and athletics are the same beautiful existence, and before leaving, being able to meet both at the same time... Yu, I'm really lucky this time~! ”

“…”

Arisu. Fumi had been listening very carefully, and at this time she lowered her head and said in a subtle tone: "However, we can't sing together anymore..."

“…”

"No need to grieve, Virtuoso." Nero didn't know when he came to Arisu. In front of Fumi, the four eyes were facing each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became lily.

"In addition to singing and competing, Yu also has a deep yearning for other beautiful beings, such as beautiful people like the Master."

“…”

Arisu. Fumi looked at Nero, who was close at hand, and looked confused for a moment, and quickly regained consciousness.

"Really, it's not okay to joke like this all the time~, Your Majesty Nero."

“…”

"In the heart of the performer, there seems to be a certain figure." Nero was not surprised by the Master's reaction, and said softly, "Yu is very interested in who met the Performer (Master) before Yu." ”

“…”

Suddenly, Nero's expression was a little displeased... Not for Aribai. Fumei, but an uninvited guest outside the residence.

…

"Bang~Bang~"

Several flashes of battle flashed, and Nero, dressed in red armor and holding a strange red sword, appeared above the dwelling.

"Sneaky attack, is it Assasssin?"

With Nero's words, a figure walked out, it was Archer~!

After Nero saw the other party, his expression changed several times, and he was very puzzled.

"As an Archer, why do you attack like an Assassin?"

Archer shook his head, he actually wondered why the man wanted him to attack in the shadows.

"Although Yu can't immediately see Qing's real name, there is no doubt that he must be a big hero~!" Nero patted his chest happily and said happily: "I didn't expect to be able to fight another hero before challenging Hercules~!" ”
