Chapter 297: I'm Not This Soul Catalyst

Tosaka Mansion, in the living room.

- You're Emiya Shirou, right?

The sudden questioning made Archer's body stiffen, and he subconsciously stopped pouring tea.

The next moment, knowing that something was wrong, he regained his grip on the teapot and continued to pour it as if nothing happened.

However, just a momentary flaw is enough for the girl to verify the correctness of her inner guess.

“…… Master, I think you've mistaken someone. ”

As he spoke, Archer straightened the collar of the red suit he was wearing with his left hand.

This old dress is quite big, but it is still too tight for him who is 187cm tall.

Obviously it was just a spirit, but at this moment, Archer felt his heart beating violently: "I explained to you before, it seems that the reason why the summoning ceremony went wrong, my memory is a little unclear. It's just that I'm pretty sure I'm not someone you know. At least, I don't remember the name 'Emiya' at all. ”

"Really, your excuse is too clumsy, have you thought about it?"

Rin Tosaka picked up the teacup in front of her with one hand, and after she took a sip of freshly brewed black tea, she said sarcastic words that didn't match the tone of the young girl at all: "Emiya-san, I've known you for so long, and I haven't found out that you are a pervert who likes to stay in your classmate's room, wear the clothes of your classmate's father, and play hooligan play with your classmate." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you were once in the basement and said you weren't Lolicon, right? As far as I know, the novel from which the term comes was published in 1955. It is only in recent years that these words have begun to spread to Japan. So, how do you know? According to the Book of Demons, when the Heroic Spirit descends, it will be instilled with a series of common sense in line with the current era by the Holy Grail. Is 'lolicon' also a common sense? ”

"Stop pretending! The Tosaka family has a way. ”

Rin Tosaka showed the red spell on the back of his hand, and his expression became much more serious: "Our fates have been linked by the Holy Grail!" I don't want to waste it before the war starts unless it is necessary. However, if you insist on hiding your identity and refuse to be honest and honest, I can only use the command spell to force your behavior to facilitate access to information. ”

, why is it recognized!

My disguise should have been seamless!

I have to say that in the face of the unexpectedly strong Rin Tosaka, the current Archer is a little confused.

Looking at the red lines on the back of his white hand, which had gradually lit up with magical brilliance, he fell silent......

“…… How did you find out? ”

Finally, with a sigh, Archer confessed his identity.

"Clams? Why do you think I won't recognize you? ”

His question made Rin Tosaka feel a little funny: "Aside from the changes in height, hair, and skin color, is there anything else that is different from Emiya Shirou?" I can't be mistaken! Speaking of which, if you could comb your hair straight out and hide your wide forehead, I might have mistaken someone. ”

"What! No way? ”

With a whisper, a mirror appeared in Archer's hand.

After trying to smooth out his erect hair, he looked at his covered forehead with a strange expression.

No matter how you look at it, it's like this, it's more like your past self, right?

If this is the case, then why does Rin Tosaka see through his 'disguise' at a glance......

"Do you think that after beautifying your skin and dyeing your hair, I won't know you? Compared to those Shibuya girls, your cross-dressing level is much worse! I didn't recognize it before, mainly because the basement was too dark and you weren't wearing clothes. ”

It seemed that he thought of something when he mentioned that he was not wearing clothes, Rin Tosaka blushed, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone as if he was demonstrating, showing the photo album: "Look. ”

"It's ......"

Looking at this, Archer was stunned.

On the screen where the mobile phone keeps swiping, it is all a heroic teenager.

He was his old self, but the red hair was clearly visible and straightened with mousse!

Speaking of which, in addition to the slightly immature face, the skin color and hair color are also wrong, and the appearance is exactly the same as the current self!

"What's the matter with this dress?"

Suddenly, a strange picture flashed before Archer's eyes.

After asking Rin Tosaka to re-paddle it back, he pointed to the photo of a mysterious person standing with a red girl, wearing a black and green suit, and his face covering most of his face, and asked, "Is this guy me too?" ”

"No, you don't even remember the magic dress 'Emiya Suit' you've been wearing?"

Rin Tosaka's fingers ran his fingers around the long hair on the side of his ear: "This is a commemorative photo taken when we cooperated to capture the polluter 'Penguin Man' before!" ”

She also wondered why this heroic spirit, who seemed to have traveled from the future, knew so little about the past.

Could it be that he really didn't know enough about the summoning ritual and went wrong, causing him to lose part of his memory?

Speaking of which, the first time she became a young girl, she also thought about asking the guardian of Fuyuki City for help. However, at that time, Emiya Shirou had already gone to Germany with Kiritsugu, and the two sides were perfectly staggered. Rin Tosaka, who didn't feel the magic breath from Kuyu Maiya and thought that the other party was just an ordinary woman, in order not to involve her in the realm of magic, in the end, he didn't tell the truth, but chose to accept the protection of Yan Feng Qili......

"Really?"

Her answer made Archer frown.

Wait a minute, what the hell is the Emiya suit? How am I completely unimpressed......

Could it be that I really lost my memory because of the timeline crossing?

Also, what is a polluter? Don't you say, penguin people really are a bit like penguins......

I don't remember any connection I had with Rin Tosaka before the Holy Grail War began! Why is there a group photo?

What exactly is this operation? Haven't I come to some kind of parallel world?

"Speaking of which, what feat did you make a Heroic Spirit?"

When he was entangled, Rin Tosaka asked out of curiosity: "The title of Guardian Giant Hero has a good influence in Fuyuki City, but it is almost not famous in other places, right?" Could it be that you have made a few more big news stories in the future? Or did you abandon this small place and start going international? I've heard more than once that there are many people in foreign countries who look up to you as an anti-hero walking in the dark, is that for this reason? ”

"I don't know ...... either"

This kind of topic cannot be answered at all!

Archer only felt a black line hanging from his head.

He waved his hand, looking very helpless: "I really don't know, what is the situation of the palace giant!" There are multiple reasons why I became a heroic spirit in the first place, let's just count it as a personal black history, so don't ask again......"

"So, you can always tell me why I was able to summon you, right?"

Rin Tosaka changed the subject: "It stands to reason that I didn't prepare a catalyst such as a holy relic, it should be a random summon that completely looks at the face!" That said, I'm pretty confident in my luck with my 10-game SSR draw. However, to summon you from the vast sea of ancient and modern heroic spirits, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a coincidence, does it? ”

"This ......"

Well, finally have the problem that you know.

Facing Rin Tosaka's expectant gaze, Archer was a little embarrassed, and replied hesitantly, "Actually, you have prepared the holy relics?" ”

"What ......"

Rin Tosaka pointed at himself and tilted his head suspiciously: "You said I had prepared a holy relic?" ”

"Yes, that...... Actually...... The summoning ceremony of the Heroic Spirit, the magician is to stand outside the circle. ”

In a certain timeline in the future, Archer once served as Rin Tosaka's attendant in the Clock Tower, and listened to a lot of magic knowledge, and even made up for the content related to the Holy Grail War: "However, you seem to have ignored this at the time, and the whole person is standing in the center of the circle, which also happens to provide the corresponding catalyst for the designated summoning......"

"Huh?"

Rin Tosaka looked at herself.

She showed a stunned expression: "I don't have anything else on me except for the magic gem, right?" Could it be that with a Lori as a catalyst, you can be summoned? Archer, you dare to say that you are not Lolicon! ”

"I'm really not Lolita!"

Archer's face was tangled: "I'm not interested in you at all......"

In the end, he seemed to remember something, and his voice was inexplicably lowered.

“…… What's the reason for that? ”

Rin Tosaka didn't notice the other party's abnormality: "Besides, what else can be used as a catalyst?" ”

"Well, what you said before...... It's not all wrong......"

Archer touched his head a little embarrassed: "We're in the future...... Hmm, it kind of related...... From this point of view, even if you are a living holy relic, as long as you stand in the summoning circle and summon the Heroic Spirit within the range of the winter wood, then you will definitely summon me......"

"Ahem......"

He twisted his head to the side, as if to hide something.

"If you had to describe it, you would probably count it as ......"

"Holy Widow ......"

“…… Right? ”

"Poof!"

In the next second, all the tea in Rin Tosaka's mouth squirted out.
