A sweeping storm descended from the sky and fell in the center of Saku City.

Looking at the storm in front of her, Rika Fujimaru, who was originally nervous because of the appearance of the goddess Ishtar, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, in the face of the goddess, they have no way at all now.

"Whew, what is this?"

Looking at the storm in front of him and feeling the divinity coming from inside, Ishtar, who was originally floating in mid-air, couldn't help but float upward.

Have you met an opponent?

Ishtar thought secretly.

As the storm dissipated, the figure of Emiya Shirou appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

And in his arms, it was Matthew who was held in the arms of Emiya Shirou in the posture of a princess.

"Senpai, are you alright?"

Matthew jumped out of Emiya Shirou's arms and ran to Rika Fujimaru's side to check her body.

"I'm fine!"

Patting Mathew who was constantly checking, Fujimaru Rika smiled and said, "I strictly followed Shirou's instructions and called him as soon as I met the goddess. ”

"So the battle on our side hasn't started yet?"

"That's it! That's it! ”

Seeing that Fujimaru Rika was not injured, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she stood in front of Fujimaru Rika, holding her shield and staring earnestly at Ishtar in the sky.

"Tsk, are there two more?"

Looking at the two new people, especially Emiya Shirou, Ishtar's heart was full of vigilance.

From the storm just now, she tasted an unexpected breath.

"Ishtar, why are you here?"

Looking at Ishtar floating in the sky, Emiya Shirou asked with a serious expression.

"Huh? What do I do? This is my territory, why did you become the anti-guest? ”

Faced with Emiya Shirou's inquiry, Ishtar said angrily: "You hateful fellows, you actually asked the ranchers to inquire about me. ”

"I don't know what your purpose is, but this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed. I actually want to investigate the goddess's vacation or something.,There should be a limit if you don't have a nerve! ”

Listening to Ishtar's scolding, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but look at Merlin and Fujimaru Rika behind him.

Although Emiya Shirou has a fresh memory of the events of the Absolute Warcraft Front, he has almost forgotten some details at this time.

Seeing Emiya Shirou's puzzled eyes, Merlin and Fujimaru Rika scratched their heads embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly.

Good guys, it's really your pick!

Taking the expressions of the two into his eyes, how could Emiya Shirou not know what was going on.

In this regard, he could only reluctantly give Merlin a look and let him solve it himself.

Seeing this, Merlin stepped forward with a smile and said, "Oh, the goddess of saving money who swept away the gems from the people has appeared." ”

"It's miserable, it seems that the prey this time is us."

"After all, we have received a lot of treasure from King Gilgamesh, and now our wallets are almost closed."

Listening to Merlin's words, Emiya Shirou secretly gave him a thumbs up.

It's you, Merlin.

I would like to call you the strongest in the field of arch fire.

Emiya Shirou said with a heartfelt laugh.

Regarding Merlin's arch fire, Emiya Shirou naturally agrees with it very much.

From Ishtar's previous actions, both Emiya Shirou and Merlin could already see that the other party had already retreated at this time.

After all, the sense of presence that Emiya Shirou revealed when he arrived before was too strong.

This is not worth fighting for Ishtar, who is not too hostile in the first place.

However, for Emiya Shirou's side, it has the value of fighting.

That's Matthew.

When everyone is coming, how can the goddess be allowed to escape?

"This is called slander! I didn't attack humans for money. ”

After hearing Merlin's words, although Ishtar's eyes were already glowing at this time, she did not immediately make a move, but retorted the dirty water that Merlin threw on herself.

"I saved their lives! In this case, of course, you will be paid accordingly! ”

"If they were free, they would easily fall."

"The goddess Ishtar will actually save humanity?"

Matthew exclaimed in surprise.

After all, this is completely different from the Ishtar she knows in character.

"Oh no, I missed my mouth!"

Seeing that what he wanted to hide was revealed, Ishtar shouted angrily, "All in all, I must inflict heavenly punishment on you. ”

"Give me a good penny for your two sins, treating me like an idiot!"

"Specifically, I see that the slate you are holding in your arms seems to be very valuable, so let's confiscate it!"

With that, Ishtar rushed towards Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"I still want to rob it!"

At this time, Fujimaru Rika was holding in his arms the item he had been sent by Gilgamesh to find.

Naturally, he wouldn't give it to Ishtar.

"Matthew! Go up and fight, I'll support you on the side! ”

Hearing Emiya Shirou's shout, Mathew, who was protecting Rika Fujimaru, immediately rushed out.

After blocking Ishtar's attack with his shield, Matthew and Ishtar fought.

Although it was a battle, the actual situation on the field was obviously that Ishtar was unilaterally suppressing Matthew.

Under the attack of Ishtar, Matthew fought hard.

And Emiya Shirou, who said that he was supporting her, actually didn't do anything at all, just waited there with a bow and arrows.

Whenever Ishtar wanted to fly into the sky, Emiya Shirou would shoot arrows to suppress her and prevent her from taking off.

"Is it really good to let Matthew fight the goddess?"

While everyone was nervously watching the battle in the field, Merlin quietly approached Emiya Shirou's side and asked.

"Of course."

"But wouldn't it be the same if she fought you?"

"Of course not."

staring at Ishtar's figure, the arrows in his hands were constantly adjusting their crosshairs.

Emiya Shirou explained without looking back, "The difference between the two is Matthew's attitude. ”

"Matthew's attitude?"

Merlin's eyes were filled with doubt.

"You've probably heard that in times of crisis, people can burst out with great potential to do things that they can't normally do."

"That's why the potential of adventurers can be developed more quickly when times of danger."

"But how is this danger distinguished?"

Emiya Shirou glanced at Merlin lightly and said seriously, "Of course, this is a judgment from my heart. ”

"No matter how hard I fight with me, Matthew will never have a threat of death in her heart, because she knows that I will not hurt her life."

"But the goddess is different."

The corners of Emiya's mouth lifted slightly.

"In the face of the goddess who wants to destroy this era, Matthew's cognition in his heart is naturally completely different."

"She knows that if she fights with the goddess, she will die!"
