Rewind the time more than ten hours ago, that is, shortly after midnight, when the vixen servant who wanted to be a good wife and her ordinary high school girl master had just fallen asleep.

In the vicinity of the residential area where yesterday afternoon it was reported that an underground band was disturbing the people with super-powered audio equipment, a tall, fit, but overly cool dress for the season, a long-haired beauty, was pushing a noble lady in a wheelchair, unhurriedly walking down the empty street filled with a faint mist.

The tall beauty had long purple hair full of mystery, a strange red rune painted on her forehead, and was wearing a tight shoulderless black Qi ...... The hip-length skirt has black sleeves that look like gloves tightly at the middle of the upper arms and wrists, and the black boots and the lower edge of the skirt form an "absolute field" that evokes reverie.

But the most strange thing is that this purple-haired beauty, dressed mysteriously and seductively, has a large eye patch on her face, and I don't know how she managed to walk smoothly with her eyes closed.

However, she was blindfolded, standing with a noble lady in a wheelchair, but she looked unusually harmonious.

Perhaps this is because she is her legs when she is sitting, and her eyes when she is sitting, and the two broken beauties are pieced together to form a complete beauty.

"Rider, it seems a little strange, this is attached ......"

"Quack!"

Fiore with a cute baby face? Vervigi? Yugdomirenia had just looked up to say something to her servant, when her always expressionless, but actually very gentle servant suddenly pushed her wheelchair away with all her might, shaking Fiore so firmly that she almost missed her tongue.

"Squeak!"

Despite the surprise, Fioreco, the next patriarch of the Yugdomirenia clan, was a good magician, and she quickly stopped the wheelchair with her seemingly delicate and weak hands, and then hurriedly looked towards the servant.

"Ding!"

"Poof......

There was a brief thud of a sharp knife clash from the servant's side, followed by a slight thud as if a leather bag or some other container had been cut and something inside was spilled.

When Fiore turned her head to look, she saw a black shadow that seemed to exist and didn't seem to exist quickly retreated, and her servant did not go to chase the enemy, but stood slightly bent over the spot with a short sword in one hand and her abdomen in the other.

"Rider, that ...... How could it be! ”

Fiore vigilantly shook her wheelchair to get closer to her servant, she wanted to ask for the details of the attacker, but when she got a little closer, she found that Rider's abdomen had been cut through the middle of a long gap, if she didn't hold it down with her hand, I was afraid that the internal organs in the abdominal cavity would flow out.

But...... How is this possible!

Even if it was the Assassin who came to sneak up and successfully hit her servant, but just now Rider has been standing behind her and pushing the wheelchair, and her abdomen is almost completely blocked by the back of the wheelchair, even if she is hit by the top of her head or the soles of her feet, she will not be hit in the abdomen!

"Huh...... Strange, who the hell attacked me......"

Fioret's servant remained defensive, but her voice was full of confusion, as if even she didn't know who had attacked her.

If this is a matter of course for the average blind person, rider's blindfold is a treasure used to seal her magic eye, and she can "see" the outside scene directly through the blindfold, but even though she has just made a move against the enemy who pounced on her and wanted to add a deadly attack, she still doesn't know any information about the enemy.

Obviously, she had already fought face to face, but she couldn't even remember whether the other party was a man or a woman, tall or petite...... No, it should be said that it was forcibly eliminated at some point.

"Don't even you know who the attacker is?

What does the other party look like? What about the figure? How did such a long wound come about? ”

Fiore vigilantly guarded the rider's back, and at the same time threw out a series of questions in surprise.

Rider endured the pain coming from his abdomen, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice:

"I don't know, this part of the memory should be there, but it doesn't leave any of it.

The only thing that is certain is that the wound was not caused by a physical attack.

However, although my magic power is not as good as the rank of the Three Knights, I still have a little bit of a god surname as a goddess, and I am not so easily killed by the curse.

Other than that...... You feel it, there's something wrong with this fog! ”

It was true that Fiore now felt that her body was beginning to suffer some kind of continuous damage, but they had been walking in this mist until just now, but they didn't feel anything unusual, could it be that the person who released the mist could choose who would be hurt and who would not be harmed?

"Let's go out first!"

As a good magician, Fiore knew very well that it was better not to fight in the enemy's predetermined positions if possible, so she decisively made the decision to shift.

Fiore, who had been limited to wheelchair mobility, quickly chanted a few incantations, and suddenly four spider-like long spider-like feet suddenly protruded from her back, and her slender right hand, which wore claw-like metal gloves, also changed shape, and a long, thick mechanical arm quickly covered her entire right arm.

"Rider, don't move, I'll take you!"

Fiore used her long mechanical right arm to carefully hold the rider with her abdomen almost completely dissected in the posture of a princess, and then immediately gave up the wheelchair and burrowed into a dark alley, with the help of four mechanical feet, piercing the walls of the buildings on both sides of the alley and rising into the air as she ran.

The fog around her had grown thicker, almost completely obscuring the moonlight, almost to the point where she couldn't see her fingers, but it should be advantageous for her servant, as her servant "sees" things a little differently than a normal servant.

Raising her vigilance and climbing into the air again, Rider should no longer be in this narrow alley, and with her spider-like mechanical legs, she doesn't have to go around the street, she can directly rush out of the roof of those two-story buildings outside the alley, and rush out of this hot fog in a straight line, and then ......

"Little ......"

"Poof......

There was another soft sound, this time, and Fiore, who was holding the rider in front of him, was attacked.

She couldn't see where the other party was, Rider seemed to notice something in advance, but just like when she was attacked, it was too late for her to notice.

The long knife cut open a small part of Fiore's entire abdomen and chest, but she couldn't see the knife that hurt her, nor the person who held the knife, the heat in her body was lost along with the internal organs that were dragged out of her abdomen, and her mechanical feet and mechanical arms also seemed to suddenly lose their magical power supply, folding and shrinking automatically, changing back to their original shapes.

"Bang!"

Rider, who was covering the wound in his abdomen with one hand, forced himself to turn in the air, grabbed the master's body with the other, and then fell heavily to the ground, and Fiore's blood and organs also fell to the ground almost at the same time, "popping" as if it were raining.

The rain, mixed with fresh blood and human organs, pointed a direction on the ground, and at the end of the mist, a petite figure with something in his hand silently walked this way.

Fiore, whose pupils were gradually losing their brilliance, instinctively felt that it was the magic center in her body that was holding the other party's hand, the heart, which should still be beating, but unfortunately it had become someone else's thing.

Blood was still pouring rapidly from several severed heart veins into the chest and abdomen, and from long wounds, staining Fiore's snow-white clothes red.

Fiore, who felt that the vitality in her body was rapidly dissipating, raised her head with difficulty, reluctantly gave her servant a gentle and lovely smile, and said intermittently in a declining voice:

"Ah...... Dead ...... It's ugly......"

"Fiore!"

Rider, who is often expressionless and cold-voiced, calls out the name of the master sadly, but her master still has her own little wish, and she has no choice but to fly towards the way to Yellow Springs, maybe as a magician, as a master, Fiore has long been aware of this, but when she really died, she still felt a little regretful.

(If...... If you didn't participate in the Holy Grail War...... Even if you can't walk freely on your legs...... Brother...... ）

Fiore felt like her brain was going on strike due to the lack of blood supply, but then her body felt light, as if her whole body was about to fly.

But then her eyes became completely dark, and the voice of the rider quickly moved away from her, and then her consciousness became more and more blurred......

Finally, the faint glint in Fiore's eyes disappeared completely, and at the same time, Rider felt that his contract with her had been dissolved.

Fiore? Vervigi? Yugdomirenia, her master, her friend, has left this world forever. (To be continued.) )
