Sakura returns to the mansion from school, and as is customary, she prepares dinner and then performs her daily 'magic tricks'.

Today's seniors didn't come to class, although they wanted to see each other, but sure enough.

Until the Holy Grail War is over, it's better not to get in touch with seniors.

If the seniors know that they are also masters

"Didn't you go to Weimiya's house today?" Shinji Maki leaned on the escalator from the second floor to the first floor, and looked at Sakura Kazuri condescendingly:

"That guy from the palace has also participated in the Holy Grail War, if you are idle, go and ask me for some news!"

"Got it?!"

"It's my brother," said Sakura a little against her will.

"Damn Tosaka! After rejecting me, you ran to form an alliance with the Emiya! Cut! ”

Shinji Makiri's expression gradually distorted, but then he was relieved and looked at Sakura Maki with a superior attitude:

"That guy from Emiya, he must have been lost to the north by the Tosaka fan, but it doesn't matter, I'll let them know who is the winner of this Holy Grail War."

"Sakura, go cook, I'm hungry."

After Shinji Maki finished speaking, he walked back to his room, listening to the footsteps in the distance, and Sakura Maki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sakura, come to the basement, today's homework is ahead of schedule."

The sound of an inkstone came from a corner of the house, and she turned to look to see the old mummified man standing in a dark corner at the end of the corridor with a wooden crutch and staring at her.

Her body trembled slightly, and she respectfully said to Asama, "Yes, grandpa." ”

Rider's figure appears on the sidelines, as if waiting for Sakura to give orders.

"Please give way, Rider." Sakura lowered her head, folded her hands in front of her, and used an honorific salute.

“.” Rider was silent and stepped aside, turning back into an spirit after glancing back at Sakura Makiri, who had walked into the end of the corridor.

Stripped of his clothes and naked.

Sakura entered through the hidden stone gate and walked down the stairs step by step.

The faint glow of the magic seeped from the large stone chamber floor below illuminated the dark, damp space like many arthropods crawling, and in a few moments, the gray-white insects with their fangs and mouthparts filled the empty stone chamber like a stream of water.

Loud and shrill voices piled up into desperate howls, urging the sacrifice to arrive.

Under the old man's gaze, Sakura walked down the circular stone staircase into a sea of insects, allowing the slime-laden wriggling creatures to wrap themselves.

Sakura didn't react, but it was better to say that she had long been numb, day after day, year after year, and was occupied by those insects that fed on human bodily fluids, transforming the magic circuit.

Her eyes were hollow, and she let these indescribable insects burrow into her body.

The dirty inkstone of the mason watched this scene with satisfaction on the stone steps, admiring the formation of his works little by little.

For eleven years, she endured thousands of punishments every day, and stored thousands of poisonous insects in her body, just to let her grow in the direction of her heart.

He didn't care about the Holy Grail War this time, the odds of victory were too low for him, so for the time being, he didn't plan to fully participate in it.

If the unsuccessful grandson wants the control of the servant, let him go, as long as the container named "Maki Sakura" is still alive.

If Shinji Maki can survive, just let him and Sakura continue their bloodline casually in the future, and the rest have nothing to expect from him.

"Huh?"

The dirty inkstone felt a slight change in the magic around him, and the insects scattered around the house sent a picture of a red-haired boy carrying a sword and a gun to break into the house.

After the other party took out a handicraft-like sword and inserted it, the picture was cut off, and it seemed that he had come prepared.

"Emiya Kiritsugu's adopted son?" Kiriki smiled and said, "I see, did you find traces of Shinji's participation in the Holy Grail War?" ”

Squeak!!

The bugs are restless, obviously irritable, and even a certain fear?!

Feeling that something was wrong, he planned to leave along the passage with Sakura Makiri, but he found that all the insects he had separated were out of control and could not move forward.

"The sewers are blocked?"

A wave came, and an unfamiliar force touched the barrier he had arranged.

In a trance, he glanced at something, and something came over!?

"Could it be that the goal is..."

The moment Emiya Shirou arrived at the gate of the Maki Mansion, he inserted a royal weapon into the ground, and the purple jade sword overflowed with divine power and spread to the earth.

As if he had practiced it countless times, he took out a circle and put his index and middle fingers together as a pen to draw a rule.

Immediately afterwards, the second seal was launched, and the upside-down Five Elements Array, the Lost Trace Array, and the Sword Absolute Array, which had been prepared for a long time, were all arranged outside the Jian Tong Mansion, and the inside was surrounded by the formation and it was impossible to see the real scene.

Whoosh –

Emiya Shirou did not dodge or dodge, and then the sword shadows flew one after another, the guns rained down, and the insect swarm that was originally as black as a dark cloud was disintegrated in just a face.

Accompanied by the viscous and disgusting insect fluid and the almost transparent invisible thin wings falling, a sword light swept away these things as fast as thunder, leaving only smoke and dust to drift away.

Emiya Shirou held a crystal white sword in his left hand, with a faint cold light on it, and in his right hand he held the lance of the rainbow, with a tall posture and the tip of the spear pointing downward, pacing out from the smoke and dust that filled the surroundings.

He looked up at the three-storey mansion, and in the second window on the third floor on the left, there was a figure full of fear and cowering, and the other party's eyes were now full of disbelief.

"Shinji."

Emiya Shirou did have a friendship with this man named Shinji Makiri.,When he was in middle school,Although Shinji Makiri's personality was awkward.,But it can be called harmless to humans and animals in the true sense.

The chill in Emiya Shirou's eyes was pressing, and the sword qi in his hand covered the sword body.

The hesitation only lasted for a moment, the past Shinji was dead, and the girl named Sakura Maki might forgive the man, but Emiya Shirou only had anger in his heart now.

This kind of suppression for a long time,Anger at the existence of the Kirino family,

Jealousy or lack of magical talent is not an excuse for you to be violent towards Sakura.

Bang la blah

The sound of chains dragging sounded.

Ding dong!

A crisp voice came from the front of Emiya Shirou's face, and the jade barrier shield flickered, and a short sword flew out upside down.

“Rider。”

Emiya Shirou withdrew his gaze from Shinji Makiri, and looked squarely at the spirit-turned-physical Rider in front of him, a tall woman with long purple hair and a leather coat, with scaly blindfolds on her face.

Her real name is Medusa, a mythical figure from Greek mythology.

The reason why he wears the blindfold is to seal his magic eye, which is the 'rainbow magic eye' that can be used to erode everything he sees with mana.

"I'll take Sakura out of this wormhole."

Without any extra nonsense, after a single blow failed, Rider attacked again, dragging the chain dagger around and sealing off the surrounding space beyond the speed of the human eye.

Emiya Shirou didn't care, just walked towards the front gate, and the next moment, Rider's figure appeared on the left side of Emiya Shirou, holding a dagger and attacking him.

The long sword in Emiya Shirou's hand shook a sword flower, and then slammed it out with the hilt.

Boom –

In an instant, Rider flew straight upside down, smashing a tree in the courtyard of the Kiri's house.

"Thank you." Emiya Shirou said softly, throwing out several long swords and nailing them to the vicinity of Rider's location, and suddenly the ground over there was dented, and some plants broke through the ground and restrained Rider's control in place.

Divine consciousness shot out from the bottom of this bungalow.

There was an old man with mummy-thin limbs and a hunchback who suddenly raised his head to meet the gaze of Emiya Shirou.

The soul palpitations are moving, and the sword light is frightening.

Chop!

The sword of the shadow soared into the air and relaxed, and Emiya Shirou left an afterimage in the same place, and in his heart there was only the way of heaven and earth in an instant, and human nature retreated.

The moment he almost became one with the world, the next moment he appeared, the thunder and fire broke through the dark and damp stone door of the insect chamber, and at the same time as the roar of the dragon and tiger sounded, the long sword slashed at the demonic insects.

The sword intent is mighty, and the thunderbolt is lacking.

"Dirty inkstone!"

The black eyes, whose whites were so dark that there was no trace of light, suddenly reflected the angry appearance of a young man.

Behind him, a white light bloomed, like a dirty inkstone in the room and in the dark night that the sun had not seen for hundreds of years.

The light was so strong that he couldn't even perceive what was piercing his body, and his body was rapidly oxidized and blackened as if it was exposed to the wind.

Bite!

Jian Tong looked at the young man in front of him and said, "I see, are you here to take Sakura away?" ”

But he still can't understand where this power in the other party comes from, and for so many years, he has been using Sakura Maki to spy on this little ghost.

Emiya Shirou didn't answer, and the moment the blade was drawn, the body of the inkstone disappeared with the wind as if it had been eroded by weathering.

Emiya Shirou jumped straight into the sea of insects, and the sword intent all around his body was permeated, condensing into countless sword wires and breaking through the air to smash the insects attached to and around the girl.

"Senpai.." Sakura felt like she was in a dream, and she was used to being poisonous, and she suddenly saw a scene that she didn't even dare to fantasize about.

"Don't look at me."

"Please"

The first thing that appeared in her numb and empty eyes was not the hope of the redeemed, but the shame of a fig leaf being lifted, and her long gone, with lies and the illusion woven by daily life, was completely exposed to the people who cared most about it at this moment.

"Don't."

Accustomed to all the forced persecution on her body, she was accustomed to being submissive, and she was afraid that she wanted to cover her face and her body.

Are the predecessors so strong? Even his grandfather was killed by him, did he come to kill himself, the real master?

She hoped for this situation at this moment, and the girl Sakura Ma would have been broken a long time ago, if she could have died at the hands of her predecessors.

That's not bad either.

Emiya Shirou took out a blanket and put it over the girl, and the insects gathered in the sewers around him were still screaming, and the shrill sound made a fire rise in his heart.

Sakura Makiri's expression was as good as he could, and it wasn't until he saw it that he realized that he was far angrier than he had imagined.

'You have to be on time every night to come home or grandpa will be angry.' ’

This girl, who is like a sister to him, has been subjected to this kind of aggression since she was a child, and has been suffering from poisonous insects.

She spends every night like this, and the next day she comes to her home to help cook, shop, wake herself up to school together, and so on.

"It's going to be fine, Sakura."

"It's going to be okay again."

He hugged the girl and comforted her gently.

"You won't have to suffer from this anymore"

"Tosaka, she's still waiting for you outside, she wants to see you."

Sakura felt as if she had heard a dreamy voice, a word that she shouldn't have even seen after watching a fairy tale show, and once upon a time, she had indeed fantasized about it.

Eleven years ago, when she was sent to this house.

When she was thrown into the hive, she fantasized about her parents and sister taking her home the next day.

There was once a man named Maki Yanya who said this to himself, and then he.

"Is it really possible?"

"Well, of course."

There was a glimmer of brilliance in her hollow purple eyes, and her sobbing voice echoed in the hive, gradually turning from restraint at the beginning to emotional catharsis.

"Ahhh!!h

Sakura held the Emiya Shirou in front of her tightly, even if she died in the hands of the other party in the next moment, at least now she felt something that had been stripped back into this filthy body.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, I'm going to bother you at this time, or if it drags on too long, maybe someone in trouble will come over."

There wasn't much time for the girl to vent, and after a few moments, Emiya Shirou lifted the corner of the blanket on his body.

"Senior."

Emiya Shirou put his hand on the three inches in front of Sakura's chest and did not fall.

"Believe me?"

Sakura was blushing, and the tears on her cheeks were still dripping down one by one.

"Hmm."

Sakura doesn't know what Emiya Shirou is going to do, but as long as it's him, anything.

A light lit up in Emiya Shirou's hand, which was a one-time power that Su Lin lent him.

Poof, blood splattered.

Sakura trembled, and a trace of regret and depression appeared in her vibrating pupils.

"Trust me." Emiya Shirou said again, he grabbed the beating heart.

"Hmm"

A smile appeared on the corner of Sakura's mouth, and she could feel the life force in her body constantly flowing.

"Filth returns to distraction, and light gives me salvation."

A brief photoelemental arm thrust into the heart, digging deep into the nerves and pulling out a worm.

As Emiya Shirou pulled his arm out, the silk threads of the light element quickly stitched together the flesh and blood, like the most efficient stereo printer repairing the wound.

The worm screamed in panic

"You-"

Smack.

Emiya Shirou strangled the worm and did not give the other party a chance to speak.

He covered the blanket, took the weak girl in his arms, and said softly:

"It's over Sakura, so let's sleep if you want."

Sakura shook her head, leaning against Emiya Shirou's chest with a happy smile on her lips.

Emiya Shirou looked around, and a crimson knight's spear was projected in his hand, and the Fortifier's Relic Treasure from the exchange of ten weapons was suitable for this occasion.

If the pests in this mansion are left unchecked and allowed to escape, it will cause great harm.

The amber flame of the spear tip stirred the cold wind, and the damp basement instantly became dry, and the roar of breaking through the air was like thunder.

That's what Xing told him, before using this gun, be sure to pose and shout:

"Flame Gun."

Archer looked at the Maki Mansion surrounded by a sword array in a daze, since Emiya Shirou walked into the Maki Mansion, it was as if it had disappeared, and the Maki Mansion did not look like any change to the naked eye.

'At this point in time, he will not only project, but also these magic, no, this is not common magic, it looks like a sophisticated ritual arrangement'

'I still have a real concept dress in my hand'

'Rainbow lance, what's that gun?' ’

'What happened to Shirou Emiya in this timeline?' ’

When the opponent showed two different formations and weapons, Archer realized that this timeline was completely different from the timeline he had originally experienced, and it was far from it.

Originally, he should have been just a magic rookie at this time.

"It's slow, Shirou." Illya sat on Hercules' shoulder and muttered, "Does it take so long to kill insects?" ”

Rin Tosaka didn't say a word, just looked at Illya and bit her nails lightly, and her mind still echoed the truth that Emiya Shirou had told her earlier, about the insect magic of the Makiri family.

If anyone is most anxious now, it is none other than her.

Although I don't know whether the things that the other party said are true or not, judging from the magic tricks arranged by Shinji Maki at school and the changes in Sakura over the years, there is a high probability that they are true.

"Archer, go in and have a look." Rin Tosaka clenched his fists and said, "What the hell is that nerd thinking, there is a servant inside!" ”

"No, Rin." Illya stopped with a loud voice: "The current Shirou is no longer the same Shirou you knew in the past, just let him solve it alone." ”

"Hey, little ghost." Rin Tosaka asked unhappily, "Aren't you very close to Wei Gongjun, why don't you go in with him?" Looking at those posters, I really thought you were all going to hug each other when you fought. ”

"Isn't that too pitiful, then?" Illya put away her smile, looked at Rin Tosaka and said:

"It's hard to usher in Prince Charming, who saved me, but there's another girl there, that's too much."

"Shirou is mine won't change anything, but only tonight."

Click——!

A fragmented sound rang out.

At the same time as the barrier shattered, the flames burned red into the black and oppressive night, and the tornado rose into the sky and crashed into the formation originally arranged by Emiya Shirou.

That moment

It was as if the sky was about to be torn apart.

At the same time as the pillar of flame appeared, the figure of a red-haired boy stood at the top of the sky, and with a wave of his arm, the spear in his hand disappeared along with the flames.

Illya looked at Sakura Makiri, who was holding Shirou in Emiya's arms, and said, "Lend Shirou to her for the time being." ”

Archer looked at Emiya Shirou flying in the sky, his eagle-like eyes full of worry and shock.

"With this power."

"Do you want to be a partner in justice?"
