In fact, when Shirou was hit by Caster's magic, Nobita, Saber, and Archer were all awake.

They watched as Shirou sleepwalked open the door and walked through the intricate corridors of Emiya's house to the outside. Originally, this guy was asleep and didn't wear shoes, but Nobita was very kind to put a pair of slippers on the path he was on, otherwise, if he walked up the mountain barefoot all the way up the mountain and stood on the cold stone ground at night, he would never be able to run away with a cold.

Out of the need to train him, none of the three servants intervened in this state, and Nobita released a spy satellite to monitor Shirou's condition all the way. Fortunately, he didn't make any drastic moves, and he walked very smoothly along the way, not at all like a sleepwalker, but the clothes he was wearing were pajamas, which were inevitably thinner, and this guy was shivering from the cold...... Saber was still thinking about whether to send him a piece of clothing to wear in the past, but Archer gave him a dead advice, saying that since he wanted to exercise, he would train to the end, and besides, when he walked up to Caster and wore a thick coat and pants, and couldn't wake up, people would definitely be suspicious.

Who can sleep in this?

So, after Shirou walked out for about fifteen minutes, thinking that he should also go to Liudong Temple, Nobita announced that the whole army would attack. Archer stopped by and called Rin up, as for Sakura...... Nobita knew that she must have woken up too, but she didn't call, and she didn't take the initiative to ask for help, so she just pretended not to know anything. Rin, on the other hand, looked very anxious, went directly to the courtyard to get water from the pond and washed his face, put on his coat and rushed out. She was so anxious that she didn't even notice the loophole in Archer's statement—the three of them were guarding Shirou, and they could still let him be abducted right under his nose?

A shrewd person like Rin Tosaka will become like this once it comes to love.

At the mountain gate of Liudong Temple. A richly dressed long-haired man with a single knife in his arms was lying on the stone steps in a rather casual posture, with an eerie smile on his face. The man wore a long, dark blue ponytail and two strands of blue hair that hung down to his collarbone, and was handsome, slender and dressed in a lilac kimono. The knife in his hand was more than five feet long, about the height of a man, and at this moment, the knife was wrapped in a purple sheath, showing no edge.

He sat there like an old man guarding the mountain gate, quite a little bit of a husband and a man, but for some reason, the blue-haired knifeman's expression was not much murderous, and there was a faint smile. If he was a heroic spirit, he must have been a vassal and elegant person who lived casually during his lifetime.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Gui'an. We are so grateful to come to visit Liudong Temple so late at night. The swordsman slowly stood up and said unhurriedly, "But what...... The lord of the lower part has repeatedly delivered, saying that it is impossible for people to step into the mountain gate of Liudong Temple, and it is for this purpose that the servants who have been summoned in the lower part are summoned. So, unfortunately, can you go back the way you came? Looks like it's not going to work, so ......"

He grasped the hilt of the knife and pulled the long knife out of its sheath little by little, and the cold light shot sharply, stabbing people with a chill down their backs.

The swordsman held the knife in both hands, first put on a defensive posture, and said with a leisurely expression, "Please leave at least one person to fight with you." I think that as a Servant, fighting is an inevitable part. In Shimosaki Kojiro, he is willing to accept the challenge of any of you, and he has no regrets. ”

"......" Saber was shocked by this indifferent tone, although the death of the Heroic Spirit was just a return to Valhalla, but ...... The man spoke with a calm atmosphere that could not be disguised. He doesn't seem to be the type of "wish but not fulfilled" at all, if I have to say it, I'm afraid it's a little obsession like "I want to hone my martial arts skills to be stronger", right?

"Nobita." She suddenly found that the hand she was holding the holy sword had clenched unconsciously, and a battle intent that she had never felt before surged into her heart, "This swordsman...... Can you leave it to me? ”

"Oh?"

Nobita had wanted to deal with him on his own, after all, the name Kojiro Sasaki evoked some memories of his childhood. But since Saber took the initiative to ask for help, he had no reason to refuse, and looked at it the other way around...... The swordsman standing on the high place looked at them very gentlemanly, and did not rush to attack, as if he was waiting for his group to discuss and leave one person to fight him. As for who that person is, whether he is strong or weak, it doesn't seem to be the category that Kojiro wants to explore.

In other words, if you want to fight a war, it doesn't matter what your position is...... Is it?

It turned out to be a martial arts idiot.

Thinking about it this way, Saber and his relationship might not be bad. The same servants who use cold weapons, one is a swordsman from the Western Regions, and the other is an Oriental swordsman, and the competition between the two of them may also mean the confrontation of the two martial arts. evenly matched, dragged on a little longer.

"No problem, Saber, I don't know exactly where you are in history, but I've heard of this guy...... There should be no particularly exaggerated legends left. Nobita nodded and looked at the high wall of the Liudong Temple not far away, "This guy is assass, that is, there are ncer and rider waiting in the temple." It should be enough for me and Archer to deal with one by one, you be careful. ”

……

"The swordsman over there, Kojiro Sasaki." After the discussion, Nobita turned his head and said in a loud voice, "Let's do it according to your rules, leave one person to duel with you, and everyone else will enter the Liudong Temple, so you don't have to stop it." Look, how is that? ”

Saber silently took a step forward, and with a soft click, the magic around him solidified into a set of women's knight light armor, holding the holy sword in both hands, standing in front of his chest, and posing to Kojiro as if he was about to charge.

"Aster's order is for me to stay here, and not let anyone in." Kojiro stroked the back of the long knife unhurriedly, and there was a bit of nonchalance in his tone, "But what...... You are all powerful people, and with me, a third-rate heroic spirit who is known for being a 'defeated soldier', it will take all my strength to stop one of you, how can I stop you all. Well, it's really a strong man's hard aster......"

"In other words, is this lady the one who stayed to fight me?"

Saber had already taken the first step in the charge, just waiting for his opponent to strike, "It's my pleasure." ”

"Oh, thank you, ma'am." Kojiro replied with a smile, he held the long knife flat, but the blade was aimed in Nobita's direction, "Since the lady took the initiative to invite, how can there be any reason not to go?" But...... Actually, I want to ask you for a few lessons. ”

"As the master of the Sword Saint Miyamoto Musashi, the sword skills you have accumulated must be as unfathomable as the vast sea, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, except for Saber, who was a foreigner, who was a little confused, the remaining two locals all looked at Nobita with the eyes of a monster. Archer, in particular, is an archer, but he is especially fond of melee combat, and he is particularly fond of two-blade in his melee skills...... As we all know, Miyamoto Musashi has the same status as the originator of the Japanese swordsman mythology. Now suddenly a heroic spirit who has something to do with Musashi will directly tell you that this unattractive young man standing in front of you may be the master of the originator of the second sword, and everyone must be surprised.

Nobita was also surprised, he did work as Musashi's master, but it was in his own universe. Theoretically, Musashi of this universe should have nothing to do with him, why would Kojiro say such a thing?

“…… Why? ”

"If you don't deny it, it means that I'm right, and that's true." Kojiro stroked his slender sideburns and smiled, "It's easy, because of the fetters." ”

"Different worlds have completely different us, and the world is inherently complex. And in this ever-changing universe, the only thing that can leave a tangible trace is the bond, the bond between people. As you and Musashi ...... Being connected in a certain world is a bond. His voice was ethereal and distant, philosophical in content, "We are heroic spirits, and heroic spirits are not the same as historical ourselves. To put it simply, we are a 'collection of information' within multiple dimensions. It's like Zai is not the real Sasaki Kojiro, but he was chosen as a Heroic Spirit just because his sword skills are closest to 'him'...... Nothing more. ”

"You have a strong bond with Musashi in that world, so after being promoted to Heroic Spirit, she has some memories related to you. She told me about you. Kojiro's smile became a little playful, "I heard her say that she had a duel with you in the end, and it ended in a draw." ”

Nobita was slightly surprised to hear the word "she", but when he thought about it, it was nothing. Kojiro also explained the principle of the existence of the Heroic Spirits, they are not a direct restoration of the person in history, but a living form condensed from all the information in myths, strange stories, and stories, and it is normal for the gender to change.

"Don't listen to her." The corners of Nobita's mouth went up, and he returned a weird smile, "How could she win me?" ”

After a wave of unclear business blowing, the remaining few people entered the mountain gate of Liudong Temple safely and calmly, and walked directly through the main gate openly. As a result, as soon as I entered the mountain gate, I saw Shirou being hung in the middle like a roast chicken, his feet barely able to step on the ground, and his expression was quite resolute, but his mouth was trembling...... On this cold night, I walked all the way here in pajamas, and the cold wind blew for nearly fifteen minutes, and the taste can be imagined.

Shirou couldn't turn his head to confirm that the invisible threads had completely bound several important joints, but a familiar voice quickly made him understand the identity of the visitor.

"Huh...... Is this what is called a partner in justice? It's funny enough. Before the person arrived, Archer's mocking voice came from behind, and Shirou could even imagine the white-eyed hero's expression at the moment, "Because I relaxed my vigilance in my own home, I was cursed to come here in the middle of the night, and I want to get up and clean up for you...... Haha, righteous partner, that's all there is to it. ”

However, Shirou had experienced such a terrible fifteen minutes at this time, and when he heard him speak again, it was like seeing a relative, and he didn't care about sarcasm or not.

"Archer, shut up!" Rin was very distressed when she saw Shirou's shivering and embarrassed appearance, and just as she caught up with the extremely poor mouth of the archer next to her, she suddenly shouted like a powder keg was lit, "Otherwise, I'll use a spell to order you to take off your shirt, draw a human face on your stomach, and belly dance in front of everyone!" ”

"Hey, is my Aster a hot-blooded little girl? To waste a spell for something like this? ”

Rin stared at him in the eyes, raised his right hand with the spell in a threatening manner, and looked at him defiantly, meaning something like "You see if I dare".

"Okay, okay...... I don't know what you like about this stupid boy. Archer shrugged his shoulders and made a "zipper" gesture to signal that he would shut up next.

……

At the same time, Nobita and Qili kept looking at each other silently, and neither of them spoke first. The priest was standing here as an overseer, but at the first sight of him, Nobita was already sure that he would not be some kind of "orderly and kind" person. On the contrary, there was a frenzied spark in these seemingly calm eyes, a flame that seemed to burn everything down...... He wasn't sure what role Qili played in this Holy Grail War, and Yu Feiyan had already compiled the information about this person, but Nobita didn't look at it.

He felt that with his current strength, even if a mere human had a plan, what could he do?

When he saw me at this moment, he deeply realized how stupid he was...... Bruce is right, in his bones, he is a proud person, so arrogant that he is not even willing to face his opponent.

However, the two don't speak, and the guy who doesn't know how to interject.

"Father, that's him! That's him! Shinji's eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Nobita, he jumped up and down like a student who made a small report, eager for others to administer justice for him, "He is Shinji's second servant, how can such a person exist?" Fouled, right? Hurry up, hurry up and take him down! ”

“…… Don't be impatient, Mr. Makiri-kun. Yan Feng Qili squinted his eyes, although he was smiling, but how weird that smile looked, as if he was going to jump up and eat you in the next second, "I was still a little unsure at first, but the moment I saw me, I understood." ”

"He's definitely not a Heroic Spirit summoned by the Holy Grail."

“ncer？” Qili glanced at the back of his hand and ordered a little nonchalantly, "Kill him." ”

A spearman in light armor and armed with a red spear stepped out from behind him, a profligate smile on his lips, "What, that's decided?" Don't talk about it anymore? After all......" he boasted of glancing at the three people below, and played a very gorgeous gun trick, "Isn't there a very good young lady on the other side?" Moreover, this young lady has a little relationship with Aster, right? ”

Without waiting for Qili to answer, Shinji hurriedly said, "No, she's mine!" I'm going to torture her after that, so you can't hurt her, do you understand?! ”

"Oh? Is it yours? NCER glanced at Shinji, and his personality was relatively straight, and he didn't hide the disgust in his eyes, as if he was looking at some kind of garbage.

"Hmm...... NCER, that's what you said too. I'm still Tosaka's guardian. As Kiri-kun said, try not to hurt her as much as possible. ”

"Okay, understood."

In the next moment, the lazy and lazy blue-armored spearmen suddenly kicked the ground, swooping down at a speed that was absolutely unattainable by humans, and even faintly drew an afterimage! The tip of the spear slashed through the air like thunder, leaving a crimson shadow that stabbed Nobita's neck. But hearing a sound of gold and iron, another figure had already flown out from Nobita's side, setting up two knives at the critical moment, which was able to block this thunderous stab.

"Zheng ————!"

Sharps collide with sharps, creating a few tiny sparks.

Nobita...... This underwhelming-looking guy is up to me. Looking back, Archer had already swooped out, leaving only a handsome back, "Let's go as planned." ”

The thought of being able to train Shirou for a while, this guy was happy as if he had won the lottery......

"Boom ————!!"

Several thick pillars of light slashed down in the air, hitting Nobita's position with precision, and he himself was drowned in the scattered smoke and dust before he could say a word...... The huge sound was like spring thunder, shaking the foundation of Liudong Temple faintly trembling. When I looked up, I saw a shadow with its arms wide open, suspended in the sky like a bird spreading its wings. Her robe was fully open, and several rings of perfect circles flashed on the black base, and the energy was full, and the painting style was vaguely similar to that of a floating cannon.

"This ...... Unknown servant. Caster looked down, and for a moment's time, six halo-shaped circular magic arrays appeared around him, "You should be a good material for experimentation, right?" ”
