Chapter 8, The First Battle
The Servant has the power of the Servant, and the Master has the wisdom of the Master. When strength is insufficient, make up for it with wisdom.
No one is a fool.
☆
Rin Tosaka stopped in front of the church gate.
The mood is as gloomy as the weather.
Biting his lower lip, he clenched his fist.
I've come here, and I'm still hesitating about something. There's no way around it, right?
Disobedient and clamoring to kill the Master is the worst-case scenario by any measure. Although she was barely tied to herself with interests, normal people know how fragile this relationship is.
There must be, there must be, stronger ......
Restraint means!
Therefore, it is normal to ask for the help of my senior brother.
After a moment's hesitation, I pushed the door open.
A spacious, stately chapel.
Four rows of benches in eleven rows.
Since there are so many seats, there should be a lot of people who usually visit.
But now there is not a single one.
If the rite is not in the chapel, it should be in the private room inside the church.
I walked to the altar.
"Oh, oh, what a rarity. I didn't respond to the call I made you come several times, but this time I came. Looks like you've got a lot of trouble, right? ”
There was a click of footsteps
Did you notice that I was coming, the man slowly came out of the inside of the altar.
Cut, the intention was seen through, so that's what I don't like about him the most.
"Hmph, can't you come if you don't have anything? I remember that there was a rule that whoever became a master had to report here, right? ”
"Oh, I see, but you're not one to follow that kind of rules."
Father Yan Feng Qili looked at me slowly.
"It's Servant's business, isn't it?"
Tsk, that's why you don't want to come......
"Hah, what are you talking about, I summoned the strongest Saber last night—"
“Saber? I see, it's Saber. ”
"What do you mean?"
Like a machine, the clergyman's eternal smile grew, "No, it's just that your Saber seems to have a treasure that hides his identity. I do know you summoned the Servant, but I don't know her job...... Did you draw the strongest card? I'm amazed, Rin. To be able to witness your growth in person, as a senior brother and as a master, I am also happy about it. ”
"Hmph, the one I summoned is naturally the strongest—"
"But not controlled?"
poked at the sore spot, and his face became gloomy.
“…… You, how do you know. ”
"It's very simple, Rin Tosaka will never come to me easily, if anything, it's because I'm the type you hate the most."
As if to say something like this, Qili's eyes were still fixed on me
"In that case, come to me and only come up with an option that you can't solve on your own. So, what is the problem that the next head of the perfect and elegant Tosaka family can't solve? That's the problem with Servant. ”
“……”
"Did you say that just now? The strongest Saber was summoned last night, but he didn't even call me, but came over in person now, and there was no choice but for the Servant to be out of control. I'm right, Rin. ”
“…… Is...... I shouldn't have come. ”
It's unpleasant. It's such an unpleasant feeling to be completely seen.
There's a real urge to turn around and leave.
As if he had deliberately opposed me, the priest said cheerfully.
"Hehehehe, don't say that, I'll help you. If anything, it's the first time you've asked me. I'll help you anyway. So, come and tell me, you, and your Saber. ”
☆
That's what happened yesterday afternoon.
No matter how strong a Servant is, it's pointless if she doesn't listen to you. Even if you owe Qili a favor for this, there is no way to do it.
It's just a little uncomfortable.
Firmly pressed his right hand and bit his lower lip.
The support given by Qili was so hard that it was almost to the limit of what a master could give. I'm afraid I won't give a better solution if I were to change myself. But that's why I feel like my usual attitude towards him is a little too much.
It's not that he was bought by his little favor...... It's just that I feel a little ugly like this.
With this in mind, I approached the spell mark drawn on the ground and held out my left hand.
This is a red and purple text that only magicians can see, and it is a form that has never been seen before, and it is used to engrave something that has never been heard of. Its purpose is obvious.
An enchantment capable of devouring all living beings inside.
When I entered the school in the morning, I noticed a strange smell, so I investigated it a little.
As a result, I'm running around trying to eliminate the barrier.
Enchantments refer to the things of the guardians. I think it's a topographic magic that spreads out in the land with a web made of magic and processes it inside.
The effects of enchantments vary widely, ranging from blocking enchantments to making areas where enchantments are opened from being seen by others, to things that restrict magic within enchantments. There are also enchantments for attack, which can strangle and oppress the lifeforms within the barriers.
Zhang's enchantment in the school is that kind of thing.
As soon as it is activated, the people inside the barrier will literally be "dissolved" as soon as they appear.
Although I don't know who is in the school to make the enchantment, that guy's purpose is not to take down the Master. Because this level of enchantment will not work on the Master.
This person's target is people inside the school.
This is the Soul Eater Barrier.
It is a fortress that dissolves the human body within the barrier and forcibly collects the blood that oozes the soul.
Since ancient times, the soul has been a difficult thing to deal with.
Although it is a necessary element for magic, there is only one magician who can establish a soul.
At most, the soul can only stay in "things that investigate the contents" and "things that change containers".
It is incomprehensible to constantly pull out that thing and collect it.
Because, even if that irreplaceable energy is concentrated, the magician can't use it.
Reasons for doing this...... I'm afraid it's to strengthen my Servant.
Servants are basically spirits, so souls that magicians can't use are a good meal for Servants.
With a snap, I turned on the switch of consciousness.
I engrave my magic through a magic seal, read a spell that dissolves the barrier, and then I just start it in one breath.
“AbzugBedienungMittelstnda. (Removed.) Removal Surgery, Section II)"
Placing his left hand on the ground, he poured magic into it in one go.
In this way, the color of the spell mark is washed away.
"Is this the sixth? It's useless to eliminate, but it's always a stop. ”
The barrier I put here is not something I can dismantle, at most it will only be eliminated as it is now, and it will cause some trouble for the other party. Sorcerers can resurrect the enchantment by using magic again.
"At this stage, this is the limit. Is the key point to solve the master......"
After investigating the school one by one, I finally went to the top of the building.
It's completely dark outside.
Six o'clock after the threshold, the time is eight o'clock.
I was the only one who stayed in school.
I was supposed to bring Saber to investigate, but the guy reasoned that the Noble Phantasm couldn't be spiritualized, so I would summon her with a spell after the accident.
Really, taking people for fools.
Servant's Noble Phantasm is actually a concept costume. When not in use, it can be removed, and when it is used, it can be revealed by injecting magic power. I still have this basic common sense.
Her goal is to force me to consume all the spells.
At present, it is not wise to turn his face with her, so he forcibly endures it.
"Really...... Fight other Masters on the outside, and intrigue with your own Servant on the inside. I'm really tired...... Ah, the seventh marker has been found. ”
The roof of the building is openly painted with the engraving of seven paintings.
"This seems to be the starting point. Eliminating this should be pretty much the same. ”
Extend your left hand as usual and infuse it with magic.
“AbzugBedienungMittelstnda. (Removed.) Removal Surgery, Section II)"
It's over
"Yo~Lovely Miss~ Why are you here to sleep at home so late?"
Suddenly, as if it were an ordinary pick-up, a third person's voice sounded.
“────!”
I immediately stood up and turned around
Above the water tower, ten meters away, the guy looked down at me.
Melt into the deep blue of the night.
The corners of the mouth were raised, and roughly, the smell of a beast came from the wind.
…… The beast's gaze is cold.
The man with the blue body, in this strange situation, looked at me as if he had been a friend for ten years
"That's what you did?"
I asked.
"It's not. It's a magician's job to make small gestures. We just fought as ordered. ”
“────!”
Thin, but murderous sound.
Chills on the back.
As if it were nothing, the man's thin voice.
But that kind of thing is colder than anything I've heard before, and it's terrifying enough to make you want to vomit
“────”
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do.
"Don't you summon the Servant with a spell? Or is your Servant too weak to protect you, little girl? Oh yes? It can't be Caster, right? If that's the case, you're really unlucky~ Well, what kind of job agency let me force it a little. ”
The man raised his hand.
“────”
It was a matter of moments.
In his hand, which had nothing before, he held a red, two-meter-long murder weapon.
"Ahh
The body is faster than thinking, and the right hand is already moving while he is still in a daze.
"Come here! Saber! ”
With all the strength of his body, he called for his sword.
Unreliable, but definitely the strongest sword.
The spell is gone.
And the space, too, is distorted at the same time.
It's magic, literally.
Saber, who was covered in ****, appeared as if breaking through the ripples in the space
Wait a minute......
……
****?
I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't mistaken.
I guess I was taking a shower when I was summoned.
Saber, who was covered in **** and still holding a piece of soap, appeared in the middle of the battlefield in the bathtub. Have you just washed your hair? The long silver-white hair was not braided, but spread out and floated on the water. The clear and sexy collarbones are even more seductive against the smooth and smooth skin.
I guess I haven't reacted to what happened, most of the snow on my chest is exposed, and I look at Lancer in front of me in a daze as I apply soap to my smooth lotus arm. In fact, even Lancer was stunned.
For a long time, "Babble!!! ”
The soap slammed into Lancer's face with unmistakable accuracy, and Saber panicked and sank into the tub before I could react.
"Why did you come out naked?! (And with a bath!) )”
"Why are you summoning ahaaaha
"So why are you taking a shower at a time like this?!"
"If you don't wash at this time, do you have to wash it in the morning?!"
I was speechless!
