Chapter 10, Saber

"Hey, wait, it's hard for me to aim at my heart when you run like this."

Emiya Shirou is suffering from the second major crisis in his life. The first was a fire at the Civic Hall. The second time is that he is now being chased by a knight wearing strange armor and holding a great sword.

"Ha-ah-ah, ha-ha-ah-a-"

Running beyond the limit compresses the heart.

You don't have to look back to hear her footsteps coming after her.

Judging from the voice, it should be a woman, and she is wearing such heavy armor, so if you escape, you will definitely not be able to catch up

"Hah, do you know that this armor is actually overweight? I think about running after you for a long time! ”

What are the people who chase and kill others with swords in their hands?

There was an effect, and she was already panting. If that's it

Then, only heard

"Ah, Rin's location is just right...... Then ......"

"Goo-wah-"

Something grabbed him from his feet, and his galloping body lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"Chains?!"

Inability to breathe

Thinking stops, and you can't think about anything

────It's just a vague feeling that it's going to die.

"Where's the name?"

He asked my name like an old friend

"Emiya...... Shirou ......"

"Last words? Well, forget it. Don't look so ugly, just stick it in your heart. ”

Whew.

The knight naturally raised his sword, and just like that,

Without mercy or emotion, the knight's great sword pierced through the heart of Emiya Shirou.

There is no time to dodge.

The results of past workouts are not useful at all.

Killed.

Although he knew that he was pierced by a sword, he couldn't even move.

"Ahh

The world is distorted.

The body gets cold.

The sensation begins to disappear from the fingertips, from the ends.

"Ahemβ€”puffβ€”"

Spit blood from the mouth.

The blood slowly settled, and the heart, which was supposed to spurt blood, stopped moving with just a prick.

Can not see clearly.

There is no feeling.

Like the moon floating on the sea in the dark night.

I can't even feel the pain anymore.

The world is white, and only oneself is black.

So it's not so much that I'm dead.

It's more like the feeling that everything around me is gone.

I know, I tried it once 10 years ago.

That's what it feels like to be a human being who is about to die.

"Tsk...... I knew I would have delayed the time for Lancer to do this kind of thing. That gun is special, but this sword isn't. ”

It was pitch black in front of me, and my consciousness was no longer in touch with vision.

"In order to prevent excessive bleeding, I will not draw the sword. Tsk, it looks like it hurts. ”

Only, the sound is heard.

"Wait! That strange armor, could it be Saber? What are you doing, Saber! ”

A voice of implicit exasperation. It's another voice.

"Eliminate the witnesses? It's a magician's rule, right? ”

"That'sβ€”"

"Speaking of which, I was just about to ask his last words, but it was too troublesome, so I didn't ask when I heard the name. Well...... What's it called...... It seems to be Emiya Shirou. Ooh~? Although it hasn't been long since I was stabbed, it's really fatal that I haven't died yet. Well, I'll die in a moment anyway. I'm going to track Lancer. You clean up. ”

After that, the sword was drawn. Blood gushed out from the wound in the heart.

β˜†

Oritou left the school building without looking back, and she had no doubt that Rin Tosaka would save Emiya Shirou.

If it's someone else, forget it.,Emiya Shirou as the protagonist...... I specially tried to report his name, and it would be strange if Rin didn't save him.

If you don't save it, it's God's work. 】

Yes, God did it.

Ori nodded.

It's just a little weird. Because of his identity as a red Archer, at first he thought that the coyote had also been mother-in-law, but now it seems that he is the only one who has been mother-in-law......

I don't accept it!! Why am I the only one who is unlucky!!

With resentment in her heart, Ori continued to analyze.

Killing Emiya Shirou once is a must. The purpose is to be as close to the original as possible. Wounding Lancer was also a last resort, and he must not fight Lancer head-on. Lancer has to do what she does.

Other words......

"Hide by and wait for him to attack again when he gets home, and then have him summon Saber......"

β˜†

"Yo, boy, we're meeting again."

After a boring and long wait, the paper door that broke the Japanese-style Japanese house appeared in front of Emiya Shirou again.

It's still the same armor that covers the whole body. With a big sword in his hand. On his head is a helmet with horns.

The young man on the opposite side, wearing a T-shirt, holds a poster that has been magically strengthened and rolled into a tube.

No matter how you look at it, it's an overwhelming advantage here.

"Did Rin Tosaka save you? Tsk, half-magician. (It was Rin Tosaka who saved you)

This sentence provoked a reaction from Emiya Shirou.

"Tosaka...... Rin ......"

It doesn't matter what mood he is in, anyway, Weaving is here to report his family!

"Ahh That's the idiot. Such a precious treasure was used on you. Obviously, it can be used as a killer weapon at a critical moment. (The things that save you are precious)

"Oops, I don't know when she'll be killed if it goes on like this~ It's obviously such a grim situation." (She's now in a big crisis~)

I've said so, so I'll ask you if you're guilty! Just ask you if the heart of the Virgin is attacking!

β€œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β€

Even after saying so much, Shirou still didn't let go of his guard, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment holding the short and fragile poster scroll.

Oh, yes? It's a normal person. Abnormal people usually lay down their arms when they hear me say this.

"Don't worry, since the Master has invested so much value in you, I won't just break it again. Is it okay to come with me a little bit? Rest assured, it's your warehouse. ”

With that, Ori also reported to Rin, who was far away at home, that she had found the last Master, and attached the address for her to come over. It's dangerous not to let her come next. Especially to face the real Saber. Although I have already taken insurance measures.

Then

"I don't believe you. You said you had a relationship with Tosaka, right? But I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of listening to someone who has just killed himself. ”

Shirou said something like this.

I like it.

"What, you're going to the warehouse anyway, aren't you? It's enhanced magic, right? Because you can't find a weapon suitable for enhancement here, you will hold a poster to fight me, right? Do you have more tools in the warehouse that are suitable for enhancement? ”

"No, you don't. Since you want me to go to the warehouse, then I will definitely not go to the warehouse, anyway, there is definitely something bad about going to the warehouse. ”

Yes, yes, we will oppose what the enemy insists on, and we will support what the enemy opposes. Boy, have you read Mao Xuan?

I don't know if it's because I killed him once, Shirou's attitude is extremely resolute. Resolute to the extent that weaving is interesting.

Well, anyway, Rin will come over for a while, so I'll have some fun with you a little.

[You're just having a masochistic seizure, right? 】

As a sword, don't you think you're talking too much?

"So, what are you going to do?" Ori spread her hands, "Do you want to fight me with that poster?" ”

"That'...... too"

"It's not a must!!"

There is no plan.

Looking at Emiya Shirou, who was rushing over with his head down, Ori couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.

The hand rises, and the knife falls.

"Huh?"

Shirou, who originally thought he would rush over, rolled over at the critical moment, smashed through the window from Ori's side and rolled into the courtyard

"Hey, don't let me waste too much energy."

"Ahh

As if he had eyes on his back, Shirou immediately turned around and blocked the next blow as soon as he rolled out.

But

"Goo-wah-"

It was unimaginable that the tremendous force was wielded by a woman.

Misalignment of muscles and bones, tearing of muscles. The whole body was slapped out by the other party with the sword body. Hit a wall, received an impact that almost broke his back, and fell to the ground.

"Ah, that's enough, I don't like to bully weak people."

"Ha-ah, ha-ah-"

"If you don't summon again, I won't be able to explain it when the Master comes."

Although he didn't know what Ori was talking about, Shirou still desperately stood up and fled outside.

"Locks of the sky."

"Goo!"

Ten chains, four wrapped around the hands to untie the arms, four to imprison the upper arms of the forearms, and two to lock the shoulders through the armpits.

It's exactly the same as the chain that tripped him over at school.

"It may not be very useful for this chain to bind heroes without divinity, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people like you. It's almost, it's time to summon. Really, I've done my best to get allies for the Master. ”

While complaining, he grabbed the tied Shirou and walked towards the warehouse.

"You...... Result...... What do you want to do! Ahem! ”

"Don't talk, I should have broken your ribs just now. Don't worry, these injuries will heal as long as they are summoned~"

Even struggling desperately won't help. As Ori said, this chain is so easy to use against ordinary people that it is so easy to use. Chains with auto-tracking? Fully automatic? Shendai high-tech?

Pushing open the heavy door of the warehouse, he glanced at the clutter piled up inside.

All kinds of discarded electrical appliances, metal pipes, messy debris.

A feeling that was both familiar and strange crept up.

Shaking his head, he waved away the clutter in his mind.

The location of the summoning array is clearly drawn, right in the middle of the warehouse. But it's hidden by a special trick.

Put the Shirou boy in the center of the summoning array like a sacrifice,

"That's it, right?"

"Ahemβ€”let go of me!"

Not knowing what Ori wanted to do, Shirou squirmed on the ground with a very uneasy look.

β€œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β€

No response.

it? God did it?!

God has made it. 】

The corners of the weaving mouth twitched,

It shouldn't be, there's no reason.

Is there something special about it?

After thinking about it, Ori raised his sword.

Shirou's pupils constricted, and he writhed even harder.

"You're going to die if you don't summon it, huh?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about!"

"Yes. Really, I hate to do this kind of thing after all. Maybe you'll be resented for a while. Forget it, let's summon it first. ”

Ori nodded, a silver light scribbling across her hand.

β˜†

The silver light of Mercedes.

It's like the tip of a sword sucked into my heart.

In a second, it will spurt blood.

I know.

The feeling of steel piercing into your body, the smell of blood gushing up your throat, and the feeling of the world disappearing.

I tasted it not so long ago.

And again? It's true?

Incomprehensible. Why did I have to do this?

Joke.

I can't agree with this kind of thing. You can't die meaninglessly here.

I was saved. Well, since you have been saved, you can't simply die.

I have to fulfill my obligation to live, and I can't fulfill my obligation when I die.

Still, the sword stabbed into the chest.

The tip of the sword pierces the skin, and in this way, it will cut off the ribs and pierce the heart.

β€œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β€

I'm angry.

It's just a joke, it's so easy to kill someone.

It's just kidding, I'm going to die.

It's just a joke again, you will be killed twice in a day, and there is such a stupid thing.

Ahhh

"No kidding, how can Iβ€”"

In this kind of meaninglessly,

By guys like you、

Kill it!!!!

"Huh─────?"

That, really, like magic, appeared

In the dizzying light, that, behind me, appeared.

Thinking stops.

I can only judge that the one that appears is the appearance of a girl.

Bang, bang.

As soon as that one appeared, it flicked off the sword that was meant to pierce my chest.

β˜†

People are forced out.

Ori sighed.

You see, it's not. Won't you summon Saber out with a little push?

Saber successfully summoned, and if it was the original book that changed to Lancer, it would have been knocked out at this time.

But now Saber stopped with just flicking her sword, for she saw something familiar and blurted out:

"Mordred! Have you also been summoned to this Holy Grail War? ”

That's right! Ori is wearing Mordred's armor and her greatsword from the original book! That's why you're wearing this heavy and breathless armor, just for now! As long as it's not like Lancer, you'll be beaten out at the beginning and then forced into a fight, it's easy to say! I hate melee combat with you guys the most!

"Damn...... Isn't it enough that you've taken my kingdom and now you want to come and fight for my Holy Grail?! ”

Huh?

Saber became serious, raised the transparent long sword in his hand, and swung it a few times in succession, shaking off the Wind King enchantment wrapped in the sword.

Magic erupted, and the sword body was gilded with a layer of golden light.

Like a lightsaber, a few golden rays were drawn in the air.

Huh?

"Come on!! No matter how many times, I will crush you! ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward. The earth cracked, and a huge amount of magic overflowed, and a large amount of magic power like a joke formed a cloud to envelop it.

It's a complete battle stance, and it also has magic that is many times stronger than the original book.

Eh?!!!!!!!!

Wait, the coach is not in the right script!!
