"Where am I? You are... Tosaka? Saber too? And are you... Aso-sensei? ”

Emiya Shirou finally woke up, Rin Tosaka and Saber, who had been calling his name, and the bald head who was sent by Xue Qiong to check his physical condition for the first time, felt a big stone fall in his heart, and Xue Qiong, who was standing next to him anxiously waiting, was finally relieved.

After the protagonist was attacked by that terrifying existence, he was able to wake up like no one, but there seemed to be some fragments of memory. If he hadn't relied on the protagonist's aura to survive the plot changes, then this incident, including the attack of the black shadow and the survival of Emiya Shirou, should just be a doomed inevitability in the original work.

Archer crossed his arms and said, "I didn't expect that we, as heroic spirits, would have to fight this kind of thing, what are you kidding... But judging from what it just wanted to do, the culprit of the lethargy incident has also been determined..."

When the Black Shadow attacked Emiya Shirou, no, it should have been the time to attack Rin Tosaka, Gilgamesh said bored and left, while the ancestor of the Maki family took the opportunity to quickly flee the scene with Rider, who was already seriously injured.

Regarding the fact that the real target of the black shadow is Rin Tosaka, in fact, only Xue Qiong has turned this corner. Under the assumption that the true identity of the black shadow is Ma Tong Sakura, coupled with the influence of the biological sisters in different living environments for many years, facing different people every day, and some boring vinegar, Xue Qiong estimates that it is normal for Ma Tong Sakura to be in an unconscious state, even if she attacks her own sister.

But what really gave Xue Qiong a headache was that after he quickly understood what Archer meant, he immediately sadly found that he really just thought of making a new Holy Grail casually, and as a result, the core heroine of this world became another Holy Grail... I don't know if this is a coincidence, or if something else is at odds? The various possibilities in between, as well as the fact that he couldn't figure out how to modify his next plans under these changes for the time being, made him a little unhappy.

Coupled with more and more information, as well as the speculation generated according to these intelligence, his confidence in dealing with Mr. Zhu and Xinxie is also becoming less and less, so he really has a feeling of anxiety at this time, and he feels as if he can only resign himself to fate.

Of course, the big strategy will not change, that is, to stand on the side of the protagonist, try to get points, and get out after completing the trial task, and at the same time guard against Mr. Zhu.

Xue Qiong didn't let anyone notice his thoughts, these things were all the products of his brain running rapidly on another line while he was anxiously shushing at Emiya Shirou.

After confirming that Emiya Shirou was indeed fine, but his mind seemed to be a little foggy, everyone went back to their respective homes. In the case that the disappeared black shadow was likely to be still wandering the streets, Xue Qiong and the others were not in the mood to go to Liudong Temple to take a look, so they decided to go back and rest first that night. Of course, they also threw the corpse in passing, after getting out of the attention of the protagonists.

After Xue Qiong said some of his guesses and discussed them with everyone, they went to bed early. But it's early, but it's already past two o'clock in the morning...

The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning on Thursday, Xue Qiong and the bald head each barely climbed out of the bed, regardless of Xiaoyun and Minette, who were still lying in bed, washed and dressed up, made a simple breakfast by themselves, and got on the bus to work.

The two of them had just sat down in the health room, and before they could look at today's student roll call list and the situation of the protagonists, another school teacher sent them a notice.

Xue Qiong initially thought that it was the unscrupulous laziness of the two of them in the past few days, and finally let them be fired, but it turned out that the A4 paper read:

"Notice,Due to the recent frequent vicious incidents in Dongmu City,In order to ensure the personal safety and mental health of students,From now on,The school time of Suiqunyuan School Park is adjusted to 11:30 p.m.,Since February 9, 2008,Suiqunyuan School Park is temporarily suspended,When will classes resume will be notified separately."

"Although it's a normal plot development..."Xue Qiong put down the notice, "but when we are here, why do I always feel that this is a shameless method deliberately adopted by the original screenwriter in order to increase the plot created by the protagonists outside the school?" ”

The bald head did not respond to Xue Qiong's words, but after reading the content of the notice, he went to read today's roll call according to Xue Qiong's instructions.

Twenty minutes later, the bald head returned to the health room, bringing with him some noteworthy student information.

Shinji Maki remains absent. Although this kind of boring person can directly care about him to death, he still needs to pay attention to it routinely, and Xue Qiong actually wants to ask Mr. Zhu about his situation, it's a pity that he didn't seize the opportunity last night. As for the other important plot characters, many places have come to the school today.

"Click, click." Xue Qiong's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and she was also thinking about something in her head.

Regardless of the strong bodies of the protagonists and the horror of test-oriented education that can be seen from the fact that they still have to go to school in this situation, what valuable information can these things bring?

Although Xue Qiong is not a guy like a director who can see things from the perspective of the person who writes the script, he can still think of some things.

First of all, Shirou Emiya and Sakura Makiri, who are the core protagonists, and Rin Tosaka, who is also very important in the scene, will definitely have some sparks again...

Then, because Emiya Shirou thinks that there is also Rin Tosaka who pretends to think that Sakura Makiri is someone who has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, they must still be discussing something related to the Holy Grail War at school today, and... It is likely that she will also be touched by Sakura Makiri, expanding the rift in her heart again.

The specific time... Because there will be no classes in the afternoon from today, Xue Qiong guessed that it was the end time of the third class.

However, the second class had just ended, and Shirou Emiya and Rin Tosaka appeared in the health room.

It seems that what Xue Qiong and they have done on the protagonist's side is still enough, otherwise it is almost impossible for them to appear in this place that was not mentioned in the original plot at the same time in the original plot, and then complete any plot, although this slight plot change will not have a little reward...

"Welcome." Xue Qiong asked Emiya Shirou and Rin Tosaka to sit down, and then beckoned the bald head to pour tea.

Rin Tosaka declined Xue Qiong's polite behavior, and quickly said, "Time is pressing, class is coming soon, and we can't sit here for a long time." ”

"Okay." Xue Qiong set up her legs, crossed her hands on her legs, and put on a deaf look.

"First," Rin Tosaka held up a finger, "I just discussed it with Emiya, and judging from what has happened so far, we both think that there is a big problem hidden in the Makiri family, so I decided to sneak in in the afternoon to take a look." Then, let's come here first and exchange information with you about the Kiriri family again..."

Xue Qiong was not in a hurry to answer, but first glanced at Rin Tosaka, and then at Shirou Emiya, who was a little distracted, and his heart was like a mirror, and he immediately understood Rin Tosaka's true intentions.

It seems that after Shirou Emiya really fought with Shinji Makiri, and Makiri's dirty inkstone yesterday, he finally began to worry about whether his junior sister was involved in this matter... Rin Tosaka, on the other hand, thinks it's better not to tell him too much now, at least after her trip to the Makiri family this afternoon. At the same time, Rin Tosaka also hinted that Xue Qiong cooperated with him.

What a hassle... Xue Qiong thought of this, pushed his glasses, and then agreed with Rin Tosaka's idea and decided to cooperate with Rin Tosaka, he didn't look at Emiya Shirou deliberately, and said, "No." Our understanding of the information of the Makiri family is also limited to: they are one of the three royal families of the Holy Grail War, except for this time Makiri Shinji, they sent people to participate in the last Holy Grail War, and there was a powerful magician invasion in their family three days ago, but none of the key people died..."

"Thank you." Emiya Shirou nodded.

But Xue Qiong saw that his nervousness was still not alleviated, and even showed some disappointment, so he continued: "You shouldn't be worried about Jian Tong Sakura, right?" Don't think too much, didn't Tosaka tell you? There will only be one heir to the magician's lineage or something..."

Xue Qiong looked at Wei Gong Shilang who was still frowning, and he didn't bother to continue to enlighten him, so as not to be slapped in the face again as the plot unfolded. Then he then asked Rin Tosaka, "Do you have anything else to do?" ”

"Yes, there's just one thing I don't want to come over!" Rin Tosaka said proudly, "I just got the news from a certain priest... The strips and self-defense forces on the side of Liudong Temple withdrew last night, and I don't know what the reason was, in short, after they cleaned up the ruins of Liudong Temple, they suddenly disappeared after patting their butts. ”

Xue Qiong asked, "Did they return in vain, or did they decide to leave after gaining something valuable?" ”

Rin Tosaka shook her head and said helplessly, "I don't know." In short, it is impossible for the official media channels to get any real information, at most some bricks will jump out of the newspapers tomorrow to analyze the cause of the accident and then fool the people..."

Xue Qiong held her chin and immediately guessed the reason why Rin Tosaka deliberately told the story in front of Emiya Shirou, and then said, "So... Is it Emiya-san who wants to go up and have a look? ”

"That's right." Emiya Shirou said firmly, "Although Archer said last night that the dark shadow was the culprit of the lethargy incident, I still think that there must be some important clues on the Yanato Temple. ”
