(Unable to ask for recommendations)

A young girl walked in the distance. Black double ponytail, draped in a brown coat, faintly visible school uniform inside. The dignified appearance is very outstanding even among his peers. From the outside, it was nothing more than a student from a nearby school, but Ling Yi inadvertently remembered the little girl he had seen a few years ago. Although he may have been six or seven years old at that time, he did not change much except that his appearance was more mature.

It is now in the afternoon and evening, of course, the peak period for office workers and student parties to be active. However, there are not many people near the church, and there are only green belts and street lights on both sides of the long road, and the park is probably a little farther away.

Because of this, whether in Ling Yi's eyes or in the girl's eyes, the other party's sense of existence was so strong that it could not be ignored.

School ended early today, and it seems to be related to a recent homicide. Because she didn't participate in club and class activities, Rin Tosaka used to go home and be busy with magic training, but Ayako's inadvertent words aroused her alarm. Shinji Makiri, that guy with no appearance seems to have gone to church.

Mika Ayako is a magic-agnostic, in other words, an ordinary person. Therefore, she had absolutely no idea that the Templar Church was the territory of the Templar Church, and that the priest in the Church was the overseer who specialized in maintaining order during the Holy Grail War.

Regardless, it's not something that ordinary people can touch.

Shinji Maki seems to be an ordinary person at first glance, but he is the eldest son of the Maki family, and he is not a person who has nothing to do with magic. In this way, he actually ran to find the priest, which made Rin Tosaka very concerned.

After all. Her goal is to capture the Holy Grail. Any object that may become an enemy must pay more attention to it, knowing that oneself and the other will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

However, Rin Tosaka never imagined that on the way to the church, he would meet someone he didn't expect.

"Isn't this the girl of the Tosaka family?"

That's what the other party called her.

The familiar tone made Rin Tosaka unable to react.

"Who are you?"

Although she vaguely felt that this person was very familiar, and it brought her an unusual feeling, she couldn't remember the slightest trace of this person's deeds.

She carefully considered her words, her expression full of doubt.

"Who knows?"

The other party didn't even seem to change the topic, and said casually.

"You're here to find Yan Feng, right? Excuse me. He's busy helping me out right now. Could you please go back temporarily, if there is something important I can convey it to you. ”

He continued.

A flat, unquestionable tone.

Rin Tosaka was about to speak, when suddenly—the air around her changed, and the unique instinct that belonged only to the magician sounded a strong alarm. It is like countless ants crawling all over the body, and the cold erodes the skin, nerves, and bones. It was as if she was going to devour her entirely. Obviously standing on the ground. But I can't feel the real feeling, and the cloudy and sweet taste ignores the nasal cavity and goes straight to the depths of the brain and marrow. There is no doubt that this is the result of the magic emanation

At the same time, a strange noise was heard from behind.

Not only from behind, but also from the left, right, and in all directions, there were strange sounds like these. Restless, as if dragging a corpse forward, a dull, rhythmic rustle soon took over the hearing.

It's such a secluded street, where does the sound come from?

No, it's not.

It is precisely because the environment is so quiet that this sound is particularly harsh.

Rin Tosaka suppressed the uneasiness boiling in her heart, put her hand in the pocket of her skirt, and held the jewel she carried with her, while looking around. All you can see is the street lights and trees on both sides of the road. By the way, I don't know if it's a coincidence, she can only see the street lamps and trees, and behind them is the sunset twilight, a hazy and uncanny light that blocks her vision like an enchantment.

I heard that there used to be a group of immigrants from outside Fuyuki City, and most of them were buried in the Civic Park. Is that so? The girl of the Tosaka family. "When someone speaks at such a time, it is tantamount to telling a ghost story when the lights are suddenly turned on, and Rin Tosaka froze, turning his head to look at the person who spoke. Strictly speaking, this is a young man who is no more than twenty years old.

Although he is too young to have much confidence in him, if nothing else, he should also be a magician.

"My name is Rin Tosaka. And your question is meaningless for the status quo. ”

"How so, you see."

"Huh?"

Looking in the direction pointed by the young man, Rin Tosaka's puzzled expression instantly turned into shock.

At some point, they were surrounded.

As the name suggests, a group of people in different costumes emerge from behind the trees, from behind the street lamps. It was as if they had been hiding here to ambush them in the first place, and now they swarmed out.

But the most shocking thing is not this, but how they don't behave.

His clothes were ragged, his skin was pale and blue, his eyes were blood-red, his mouth was wide open, his two canine teeth were exposed to the air, and he was covered with blood, especially his mouth, like a vampire who had just sucked human blood.

No matter how you evaluate it, it doesn't look like a normal human being, but rather like a half-finished product of a failed death apostle.

They have a specific name -

"Ghoul"

Rin Tosaka's lips trembled and she said their identities. It's not that she's too timid, it's not that these ghouls are extremely powerful.

If there were only a few ghouls, she would definitely smash their heads with gems. But this number is too much, and a rough estimate is that there are dozens of them, even if you take out all the gems at home, it will not be enough.

"Well, that's a bit of a problem."

Ling Yi pinched his chin and said.

"Aren't you the devil!?"

"How so, I'm not a magician specializing in the Dead Apostles, nor am I the Dead Apostles or True Ancestors. With such a huge amount, it doesn't look like it's been accumulated for a long time, so it's that person? ”

"That person?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"One of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors."

Hearing this, Rin Tosaka was stunned. Blinking blankly, it took a long time to realize who Ling Yi was talking about.

"What are you doing with that kind of monster that only lives in rumors and comes to Fuyuki City!?"

Although I don't know this person very well, I can't care about the family motto of the Tosaka family now.

Joke! If you are surrounded by these ghouls, you will be torn to shreds!

"Probably for the Holy Grail, I'm one of the victims." Ling Yi sighed softly, showing despair. He made Rin Tosaka embarrassed to say anything more.

But—

"You're a magician too, hurry up and figure it out! If we continue like this, we're all going to die here. ”

Rin Tosaka said with an ugly face.

As he spoke, the encirclement formed by the ghouls gradually narrowed.

"Even if you say that, I'm just an ordinary magician, and I'm going to ask Yan Feng for help temporarily. I'm not good at fighting! ”

Ling Yi said with a wry smile.

"You!" Rin Tosaka's eyes widened. I almost him off.,I'm not good at fighting and I'm so arrogant.,I look like I'm very good and you have to listen to me.,Dare to love just pretend.。

"That's right! It's not far from the church. Why don't we go to Yan Feng for help. He used to be a surrogate. It's his old job to deal with these guys. ”

"That's all there is to it." Rin Tosaka gritted her teeth. A few gems were pulled out of the pocket of her skirt and clamped between her fingers. The thought of how many more gems it would cost made her feel pain, and she knew that this was what little stock she had left.

"Why don't you do something!"

She glared at her viciously. Ling Yi smiled awkwardly and said:

"Well, I'm sorry I forgot to bring my magic dress when I went out today. And I'm an alchemist, and I'm good at refining potions, so if I don't have the materials, I'll be very embarrassed. ”

"See you again, let's go."

Rin Tosaka said unceremoniously.

She didn't bother to complain about her luck anymore, so she had to investigate Shinji Ji, and it was okay to come to the church unwillingly to bump into this useless guy, and she actually happened to encounter the family of the twenty-seventh ancestor. Although she didn't know what a monster of her level came to Fuyuki City for, she deeply understood that it was an existence that was absolutely impossible to fight.

Even if the ghouls can't be on the table in front of them, once they have a huge number, they are also extremely terrifying.

After all, magicians are never born to fight and kill, they are just outliers who deviate from human common sense.

Don't expect a group of root-seeking outliers to fight against an army of ghouls who are not afraid of death, the most they can do is to kill the ghouls.

As for sending these guys to Hell, that's what the Templar church is supposed to do.

"Hey, you can't leave me! I'm a friend of my father's, and I hugged you when you were a kid! ”

Ling Yi would never tell a simple lie. Because a simple lie is not convincing, and even you can't convince yourself, only a mixed truth and falsehood is the best policy!

"Huh?" Rin Tosaka looked at him with a strange gaze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Are you delirious from these things?"

"No, no, I have proof! For example, what kind of fat times you liked to wear when you were a child. ”

"You're enough! Shut me up! I know it, I'm going to do my best to protect you. ”

Rin Tosaka's cheeks flushed, and she interrupted him angrily.

That's right, just try to be.

A useless guy like this, even if he dies unfortunately, is inevitable.

While comforting herself, she forcibly calmed down and looked for a breakthrough.

"Found it, I'll count three, two, one, you just follow me, don't stop, don't blame me if you die!"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to joke with my own life."

Rin Tosaka turned her head and didn't look at Ling Yi's confident expression, she was afraid that she couldn't help but beat someone.

Still, you can't really leave it alone.

"I counted three, two, one and ran!"

"Don't you think it's too fast!"

"Don't be verbose! You want to turn into dinner for these guys, so keep complaining! (To be continued......)
