If she could, Rin Tosaka would also like to be able to take it slowly and steadily, but the truth is that she doesn't have time.

Because in the course of the investigation, Rin Tosaka discovers a terrifying fact——— the other party is creating a huge barrier!

If you want to say how huge this barrier is, it almost covers the entire Fuyuki City, and once this enchantment is activated, then the entire people of Fuyuki City will be affected.

Obviously, it was the Servant who created this barrier, but even Rin Tosaka couldn't imagine what a crazy master would order his Servant to do such a thing.

So she can't wait until dawn, and Rin Tosaka must stop the completion of this barrier at all costs. Once it's complete, the entire city of Fuyuki will be completely turned into hell.

That's why Rin Tosaka chose to join forces with SABER in the first place, directly breaking into the core of the enchantment, trying to completely destroy it. BUT THE EXISTENCE OF THAT BLACK SHADOW FAR EXCEEDED RIN TOSAKA'S EXPECTATIONS, AND NOT ONLY DID IT FAIL, BUT EVEN SABER AND HIS LORD WERE SWALLOWED UP.........

"It doesn't seem like a frontal attack is going to work, now that the building in Xindu has completely become the opponent's lair, we have to find a way to sneak in........."

"Sneak in? Why sneak in? ”

However, hearing Rin Tosaka's words, Sakura tilted her head in confusion.

"Because the core of the enchantment is in the building! The core must be destroyed! ”

"Then I have a solution."

Facing the anxious Rin Tosaka, Sakura thought for a moment and spoke.

"What's the solution?"

"Hmm......... According to the big brother, don't think about those boring things at this time, so ..............."

As she spoke, Sakura paused and looked at Rin Tosaka.

"How about just blowing that building up?"

“…………… Huh?? ”

Faced with his sister's proposal beyond common sense, Rin Tosaka was stunned for a while.

"What are you talking about, Sakura, it's in the middle of the new metropolitan area! You're going to blow up the whole building? How is this possible? ”

"How is this impossible? The eldest brother once said that to figure out the priority of the task, the biggest headache for my sister at present is that once the other party launches the enchantment, the entire Fuyuki City will be completely caught in it. In that case, shouldn't it be a priority to destroy the core barrier to avoid this point of development? ”

"That's true, that's why we're going to sneak into the building........."

"But no."

However, Rin Tosaka's defense was also calmly interrupted by Sakura.

"THE OTHER SIDE IS VERY STRONG, EVEN SABER IS NOT THE OPPONENT'S OPPONENT, AND I DON'T THINK THAT ASSASSIN AND ARCHER CAN COMPLETELY DEFEAT THE OTHER PARTY. For my sister, this is a gamble at all, and maybe in the end we won't end up with any difference from before, but as long as we blast that building, then we can be 100% sure that we can destroy the core, right? I can't understand my sister's thoughts when I have the means to achieve the end 100% of the time, but I have to fight for the probability and take risks. ”

“…………… At this time, you are a bit like a magician. ”

Looking at Sakura in front of her, Rin Tosaka sighed silently.

"Because there was no one in the building, I decided it was the best thing to do. My eldest brother also taught me this, when I encounter danger, I must first distinguish the severity and alleviate it, then decide the priority, and finally go straight to it......... Nothing else matters. My sister may have been restrained by the magician's request for concealment, but this is simply putting the cart before the horse. Besides, it's just a building, and there are countless excuses to come up with, but it can't be said that the gang has blown up the building........."

"Is that okay.........?"

Hearing Sakura's answer, Rin Tosaka was completely dumbfounded, and indeed thought about it carefully, just like Sakura said, Rin Tosaka, as a magician, first considered the first requirement of magic to hide. In her opinion, blowing up a building is obviously a very conspicuous act, but if you think about it, once the barrier is unfolded, the people of the entire Fuyuki City will suffer.

In contrast, blowing up a building......... It really doesn't seem to be much anymore.

And at this moment, Sakura's voice came to Rin Tosaka's ears again.

“…………… OR, IS IT THAT MY SISTER WANTS TO SAVE SABER'S MASTER? ”

“…………………”

Hearing this, Rin Tosaka's body trembled and did not speak, while Sakura lowered her head.

"I don't know exactly what the relationship between my sister and Saber's lord is, but in my opinion, I think it's more important to save the citizens of Fuyuki City than Saber and his lord. Is my sister going to let the residents of Fuyuki City fall into danger for the sake of one or two people? ”

"I ..............."

In the face of Sakura's inquiry, Rin Tosaka was a little ashen, but at this time, suddenly, ARCHER, who was standing beside her, chuckled.

"Oh, that's interesting. So the master of ASSASSIN, according to you, in order to save the majority, you can sacrifice the minority, is that what you mean? ”

"That's right."

Sakura nodded without hesitation.

"I am a member of the Inquisition, and the duty of the Inquisition is to protect humanity at all costs, so I will work for that goal as well."

"Is it true even if that small percentage is innocent? Do you want to be a partner in justice? ”

"I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY, ARCHER."

Sakura shook her head.

"I know what you mean, indeed, I thought so when I was little, isn't it a hero who saves humanity? And aren't heroes partners in justice? But......... But the eldest brother told me that this is not the case. ”

"Oh?"

HEARING SAKURA'S ANSWER, ARCHER RAISED AN EYEBROW.

"How?"

"The eldest brother said that the goal of the Inquisition is to protect humanity and protect the survival of mankind at all costs. Anything else doesn't matter, maybe in the eyes of others, this will be seen as a hero to save humanity, a partner of justice, but in any case, you can't look at yourself in this way. ”

"Why?"

ARCHER SEEMED VERY INTERESTED AT THE MOMENT, AND HE STARED AT CHERRY BLOSSOM CURIOUSLY AND ASKED.

"Isn't it a very beautiful wish to save humanity and save everything? Fighting for others, such an ideal ........."

"It's not my ideal."

HOWEVER, BEFORE ARCHER COULD FINISH HER WORDS, SHE WAS INTERRUPTED BY CHERRY BLOSSOM SHAKING HER HEAD.

"It is the duty of the Inquisition, not the ideal, to protect humanity, ARCHER. When you see yourself as a partner in justice, you project your own view of good and evil onto others. If you think that you are on the side of justice, then will you still protect humanity? If humans seem evil to you, will you still protect them? Or will you destroy them? ”

“…………………”

ARCHER FROWNED, STARED AT SAKURA, AND REMAINED SILENT.

"Therefore, the eldest brother said that the Inquisition is not a partner of justice, for us, it doesn't matter whether human beings are good or evil, we are guarding the civilization and race of human beings. In any case, humanity cannot be allowed to destroy ........."

With that, Sakura reached out and grabbed the skull pendant on her chest.

"This is the idea of the Inquisition, it doesn't matter whether human beings are evil, good, noble, lowly, stupid, or smart. Because we are guarding human beings themselves, rather than projecting our own view of good and evil onto others, separating good from evil, which is meaningless to the Inquisition. ”

"Pointless?"

"That's right."

Sakura nodded.

"The idea of good and evil is not static, such as ........."

As she spoke, Sakura looked at Rin Tosaka.

"Take my sister as an example."

"Huh??"

Rin Tosaka, who was originally resting next to him, found that he was lying down and was shot, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"In ancient times, it was not allowed for my sister to dress like this, in fact, even in modern times, in some civilizations, wearing a shameless miniskirt like my sister is also considered immoral and evil, and a dirty act........."

“…………………”

I don't know why, Rin Tosaka felt like she had been stabbed by her sister. She looked at Sakura, who was wearing a long skirt and a close-fitting dress, with a slight resentment, and although it was winter at the moment, Sakura's graceful and bumpy figure was still obvious...............

You're in great shape!

My sister has these legs left, okay!

“……… So, are their notions evil? From their point of view, they will think that our ideas are wrong. To be a partner of justice means to destroy what you think is evil, but everyone has a different view of justice, even if they are fighting for justice, but everyone has a different view of justice, and the results are different. ”

Sakura said this, shaking her head.

"Justice, freedom, these are all so. The eldest brother said that there is no point in fighting for ambiguous slogans, and all that remains is emptiness and betrayal. Therefore, what the Inquisition pursues is only a very realistic choice——— to protect humanity, and as long as humanity does not perish, it means that we have fulfilled our duty. On the other hand, once humanity perishes, no matter what excuses are used to cover it up, it can only prove our failure in the end, and that's as simple as that. ”

"Interesting."

AFTER LISTENING TO SAKURA'S ANSWER, ARCHER WAS SILENT FOR A MOMENT AND SNEERED.

"In other words, the important thing for you is to save the citizens of Fuyuki, so you don't care about the lives of Saber and his master, do you?"

"That's right, but my sister can understand, after all, magicians are meant to fight everything for the result, but what we are pursuing is not the vortex of roots."

"I see."

Although many places wanted to complain, Rin Tosaka still sighed silently, and then stood up.

"Since Sakura said so, then I don't have anything else to say, indeed, the citizens of Fuyuki are more important than that idiot, and I won't sacrifice the entire city for one person, just follow Sakura's plan."
