"Finally got rid of that guy, phew." Sitting on top of Pegasus, when Sakura Tosaka could no longer feel the breath of Berserker, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was Berserker or Illya, they were monster-level to her, and fighting this kind of opponent must use strategy, and there was no point in simply clash of strength.

Although the scene was rather embarrassing, it was lucky to be able to escape back unscathed.

"Thank you, Rider, I would probably be the first to exit this Holy Grail War without you, thank you for saving me." Sakura Tosaka turned her head and smiled at the Servant behind her.

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Rider said lightly, as if he didn't care about Tosaka Sakura's thanks.

Sakura Tosaka doesn't care, after this period of time together, she can understand Rider's character to some extent, although it seems to be very indifferent on the surface, but she can feel the tenderness hidden under the other party's indifferent appearance...... Perhaps, she is the type who is not good at expressing her feelings.

Sakura Tosaka thought so, and then said: "Now that we have gotten rid of Berserker, the other party should not chase after me in a short time, so let's go back, although it is a little far from home, but in order to save mana, it is better to walk." ”

Rider nodded, then patted Pegasus on the neck and fell downward.

"Huh?!" But before he was halfway down, Rider suddenly let out a faint exclamation, and then suddenly stopped the downward trend.

"What's wrong?" Sakura Tosaka heard the surprise and question in Rider's tone, and quickly asked.

Rider said in a deep voice: "Just now I felt a strange energy below, evil and powerful, because I am also on the demon side, so I am very sensitive to this power...... As if it's about to come out, stay on your guard. ”

"The power of evil?" Tosaka Sakura was stunned for a moment, and instinctively looked down. At this time, she realized that she had come to the depths of the mountain behind the winter wood, and directly below was a huge lake, but she didn't feel the energy at all, but it looked very beautiful in the moonlight.

Of course. She didn't doubt Rider's perception and was cautious.

After about half a minute, the originally calm surface of the lake suddenly began to bubble up as if it was boiling, and there was a crackling sound, and even Tosaka Sakura could clearly feel it at this time...... At the bottom of the lake there is an unusually evil aura that gives people a chilling feeling.

The reason why Sakura Tosaka felt fear was not because the aura was so powerful. Although it is undeniably powerful, it is very different from the Berserker before her, and the real reason is that she is familiar with this breath, and has a terror that she has faced in her long memory.

Don't?

Tosaka Sakura suddenly thought of someone, her body trembled, and she clenched her hands tightly.

Rider glanced down at her, and although he didn't know why, he clearly felt the fear in Sakura Tosaka's heart. Subconsciously hugged Tosaka Sakura tighter, and said softly: "That guy is very strong, but he is not my opponent yet." All it takes is one hit. ”

Sakura Tosaka heard the comfort and care in Rider's words, and her heart was immediately relieved. Yes, I am not the weak self I was ten years ago, although my sister is gone, although my brother will no longer protect me, but I have become very strong, and I also have reliable friends by my side, even if I face this kind of thing again, I will not be afraid anymore...... That's right, I've inherited all the magic of the Tosaka family, and I'm fighting side by side with Rider. Nothing will be afraid anymore!

At this moment, Tosaka Sakura completely let go of the shadow in her heart and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered some bad things, but it's okay now." ”

"Ahhh!!hhh Just as Sakura Tosaka's words had just fallen. Suddenly a terrible and old voice came from the bottom of the lake, roaring and furious, "I have been sealed at the bottom of this lake for ten years...... day and night endure the pain of being devoured by ten thousand insects...... Now, the seal has finally been broken...... Ten years of pain didn't let me die...... On the contrary, it has strengthened me...... I'm finally out of trouble...... I want revenge! I want revenge...... No matter who it is, no one will try to stop me...... Ahh!!hhhh ”

The sound coming from the bottom of the lake made people listen to the creepy, and as this sound sounded, the boiling water bubbles became more violent, and a figure could be faintly seen coming out of the bottom of the lake, as if the Great Demon King was about to be born.

Sakura Tosaka took a deep breath, no fear or confusion, and in her soft tone, only extremely firm determination was revealed, "Rider, I've always felt that people can't live in the past, I used to think so, and I think so now, but I was always bound by the past...... It's okay with my sister, it's good with my brother, it's okay with the Tosaka family and that family. After learning about the cruelty of being a magician, I am glad that I was saved by my brother, and I feel guilty for my sister and her disappearance...... I enjoyed the happiness they bestowed upon me, but I was not really happy, but now I understand that such thinking is wrong, and today I want to say goodbye to the past once and for all. So, Rider, please lend me your powers! ”

Sakura Tosaka's words didn't make Rider's expression change in any way, she just said one sentence in a tone without hesitation, "Yes, Master!" ”

The word Master, Rider has only said to Sakura Tosaka twice, the first time when she was just summoned by Sakura Tosaka, and then at Sakura Tosaka's request, she has always been referred to by her name, and the second time is now.

At the moment, the word has a special meaning for them.

The next moment, a golden rein suddenly appeared in Rider's hand, and then with a flick of the reins, Pegasus drove the two of them high into the sky, drawing a white trajectory and turning into a meteor-like point, but in an instant, Pegasus suddenly turned around and fell down at a speed that pierced the sky.

This is Rider's Phantasm, not a Phantasm for one-on-one combat, but a Parchment that can sweep away a wide range of enemies, and the biggest attack she has.

The reason why she used this Enemy Treasure was because she felt the regeneration ability of the enemy below at the first time, and she couldn't completely kill it with ordinary attacks, and only when she completely destroyed it in an instant could it be completely solved, and if she wanted to do this, she had to do it only with the Enemy Treasure.

And in addition to that, in order to respond to Sakura Tosaka's enlightenment, she must also use this move.

Although it will consume a lot of mana as a result, it would be a waste to use the Enemy Treasure on enemies who are not part of the Holy Grail War, but ...... Only this time, she won't feel pity.

Because, Sakura Tosaka is not only her Master, but also ......

"Reins of the Heroic Rider!"

When Rider shouted the name of the treasure, there was only a dazzling white light left in the sky, and just as the existence at the bottom of the lake was just out of the water, the white light fell to the ground, and in the loud explosion, the painful scream only sounded for a moment and disappeared at the same time as the entire lake.

Standing side by side with Rider on the ground, Sakura Tosaka slowly closed her eyes, she was commemorating, remembering the past, because from this moment on, she will no longer be bound by the past, but will go her own way with dignity, however, this does not mean that she will forget the past, at least ...... She wants to see the two people she loves again, and she will never change.

"Let's go, Rider."

After opening her eyes, Sakura Tosaka walked forward without looking back.

Not as the heir of the Tosaka family, but as the identity of Tosaka Sakura, with this name that she once lost to win the Holy Grail War, she will never run away again!

Rider followed behind her, a subtle smile on his lips.

She is like a shadow, but she is the most faithful shadow and the most reliable shadow.

……

Just as Sakura Tosaka returned home with Rider, under the same sky, a girl with glasses and medium to long black hair, looking a little honest and a little dark, looked into the distance, and her face showed a somewhat thoughtful expression.

"I mean, this kind of scholarly expression is not for you." Suddenly, a blonde young man in civilian clothes suddenly came to the girl and said as if mockingly.

The girl turned her head violently, faintly angry, "What did you say?" Saber！ ”

"Ah, am I wrong?" The blonde young man spread his hands with a nonchalant expression, "Also, it seems that you failed to practice magic again today, I said a long time ago, that kind of complicated magic is not suitable for you, you should use simple but powerful magic tricks...... Oh, in your words, it's the kind of magic that is extremely stupid, after all, that's what matches your personality. ”

The girl was suddenly furious, "I don't care about my affairs!" ”

"How can I not care, after all, we are now a community of destiny......"

"In that case, let's tell me what the light was all about!" Before the blonde youth could finish speaking, the girl interrupted him menacingly.

The blonde young man smiled indifferently, "Then don't you need to say it, it's just a fantasy seed, it is probably a treasure used by Rider, and Rider's Master is a member of the Tosaka family, and he looks like he has good strength, much more powerful than you...... Well, I didn't expect you from the beginning, you just have to follow my ass obediently and be protected by me. ”

"You ......"

The girl was suddenly so angry that she couldn't speak, this kind of guy with a bad personality really doesn't know how to become a hero, but ...... She had to admit that this guy was really powerful, both in terms of strength and intelligence.

It's just that if you want to cooperate with such a guy in the future, is it really okay?

I'm afraid I'll be first!

At the thought of this, the girl became a little uneasy and hated the Holy Grail War even more......)
