"How can you take a break-!!"

When Rin Tosaka disappeared into the stairwell leading to the rooftop without looking back, Shinji Maki finally couldn't help but let out an angry and unwilling roar.

Rider Marda, who had his back to him, frowned slightly, not particularly satisfied with the violent aura on this MASTER...... Okay, it's actually obviously not very satisfying. But she didn't say anything for the time being, just quietly disappeared into the air, leaving Shinji Maki to go crazy there alone.

In the stairwell, Rin Tosaka heard the roar coming from the rooftop outside, but she just shrugged her shoulders very indifferently, not taking Shinji Makiri's anger seriously at all.

In Rin Tosaka's opinion, that guy is simply humiliating himself.

It can't be said that Shinji Maki did something wrong about coming to ask for an alliance, and Rin Tosaka doesn't mind forming a limited alliance with that guy, after all, he really doesn't have any bad deeds other than pretentiousness - but only if that guy doesn't hit her with his ideas.

However, his arrogant appearance is too ridiculous, not to mention whether his Rider who can ride the dragon species is really the strongest Servant in this Holy Grail War, even if the shy Saintess is really the strongest, he has no reason to think that the other Masters must grovel to survive under his protection, right?

Rin Tosaka never thought of herself as a weak girl who needed the protection of others, especially from Shinji Makiri...... Sorry, she couldn't take it physiologically. Therefore, his "honor" is still reserved for those superficial girls who are fascinated by him.

"Ah...... Tosaka! ”

Just as Rin Tosaka guessed the true identity of the Cross Sect saintess who could ride the dragon seed, and walked downstairs to her classroom, another boy who was "quite familiar" with her appeared around the corner.

It's just that this boy named Yanagito Issei is the opposite of Shinji Makiri. As soon as he saw her, he immediately showed an extremely vigilant expression, and he almost didn't directly put on a karate fighting stance, and even Rin Tosaka himself felt that he was overreacting.

Although she had a two-year battle with Kazunari Yanagito, who was the student council president, as the vice president of the student council in middle school, she didn't actually do anything excessive. It doesn't matter if Yanagito Issei calls her a "female fox", but why is she still slandered as a "female monster" and "Buddha enemy"?

"Oops~ Isn't this the student council president. You ......"

"Ichisei-kun? What are you guarding against...... You're not going to fight with Tosaka-san, are you? ”

Rin Tosaka, who was not afraid of fighting, had just shown a graceful and calm smile, and Mr. Kishiba Shirano, who was supposed to come from the teacher's office, happened to bump into the scene of her and Yanagito Kazunari faintly confronting each other, and quickly greeted Yanagito, who was a boy.

Before Ji Feng reminded her of Kishiba Hakuno. Rin Tosaka has never paid serious attention to this young female teacher who is beautiful but doesn't seem to be anything special. In her memory, she had also seen the scene where this kind female teacher and Yanagito Yicheng laughed, but that guy in Yanagito was the same no matter what kind of woman he faced, so she never found out that Mr. Kishiba actually had an intimate relationship with him that "can be called by name"!

"Ahhh

Mr. Kishiba! Please call me Ryudong-san at school!

Also, Tosaka and I were just talking normally! ”

"Oh, oh...... I'm sorry. Excuse me. Please continue. ”

Sure enough, even in the face of the soft-voiced teacher Kishiba, Yanagito Issei is still serious, worthy of being the son of the abbot of Liudong Temple and the monk reserve who is scheduled to inherit the family temple after graduation. But the "natural enemy" discovered some ulterior relationship between himself and the young female teacher. But it also made this "successful man" who still became the student president a little embarrassed even in high school.

But Rin Tosaka didn't think there was anything to laugh at. If in normal times, she wouldn't even go to gossip about the relationship between Mr. Kishiba and Yanagito Kazunari. But after learning from Ji Feng that Mr. Kishiba had served as Caster's MASTER ten years ago, she was a little curious to know why that teacher met Yanagito, who was ten years apart in age:

"Huh...... Do you have a good relationship with Mr. Kishiba? Didn't you only meet in high school? ”

"Well, it's my private matter!"

"Oh? Personal?

Although I have no right to intervene in private matters, nor do I have the right to speculate, if I just tell what I see and hear, it is not against the law and morality, right? One? Yes? Monarch? ”

"Uh...... Hateful female fox!

Well, it wasn't a big deal anyway, so if you want to know, I'll tell you. ”

Facing Rin Tosaka's inquiry. Of course, Yanagito Kazunari instinctively resisted. However, he was indeed caught by the other party, so he could only retreat. I just told her about the relationship between Mr. Kishiba and himself.

Of course, Yanagito Kazunari didn't think that he would resolutely not say it, and Rin Tosaka would really spread this kind of rumor on campus, after all, this "female monster" was still qualified as a human being. It's just that this is not an ulterior thing in the first place, and he doesn't want to owe the other party a favor because of this, even if the other party doesn't specifically want him to owe this favor.

"Before Mr. Kishiba went to university, that is, when he was still in high school at this Hogungahara School Park, he cried and went to our family's Yanatoraji Temple to ask for practice, saying that he wanted to learn the magic of summoning the 'Tail Fox'.

That was about 10 years ago, she was weaker and more timid than she is now, and she felt very introverted, so she was probably not good at contacting people. But only in this matter she insisted unusually, it can be said that she died in the temple and did not leave, even if my father repeatedly explained that there was indeed no such spell in our temple, she was still pleading, which made our family feel very troubled.

And me...... Well...... More or less there is still a little spiritual power...... Something like that, I suggested that she try her luck at an inconspicuous Inari Shrine in the city. I didn't ask about the rest of the day, but Mr. Kishiba, who was still a high school student at the time, seemed to have really acquired something at the Inari Shrine, and I heard that I had been admitted to Kyoto to study at university......

In fact, Mr. Kishiba is familiar with me because of this kind of trivial matter, and every holiday he also comes to our temple from time to time to discharge, if you want to talk about it, go and talk about it. ”

"Hmph...... I'm not going to talk nonsense!

But Kyoto......

Isn't there the head office of Inari Shrines all over the country, Fushimi Inari Taisha? ”

"Then I don't know." (To be continued.) )
