098: Plans?
On the premise of knowing the pros and cons of [Spirit Magic], why did Bai Hua bring it up?
He should know very well that even if he replaced Emiya Shirou with Archre and fought Gilgamesh one more time, there would be no new result, and maybe he would lose faster.
What's more, it's not as good as it, the mortal body of the body of Emiya Shirou.
So, why?
Counting Saber, the combat power of the three servant levels, under the power of EA, the result will not change much, right?
If, the answer to the question is······
He has long known the method of victory, and Emiya Shirou's ability is an indispensable condition for achieving victory!
That way, everything makes sense.
"You... That's what you've been planning from the beginning, to let Shirou inherit Archer's abilities, and even if Shirou refuses, you'll take other means or force [séance magic]? ”
A chill instantly froze the air around Rin Tosaka.
"Assassin, you guy!"
Saber was instantly armed, protecting the two masters and guarding Bai Hua.
In battle, the most terrible thing is not a powerful enemy, but an unstable unknown.
Comrades who plan their own affairs behind their backs and have two hearts are the most unstable and dangerous factors, and it is very likely that the battle that could have been won will lead to defeat.
Therefore, even if this comrade-in-arms is strong, it must be eliminated.
"Assassin, if you don't explain it clearly, then don't blame me······"
Saber raised the Shadowless Sword, and the unfinished words were self-evident.
“······”
Silent.
Neither denied nor affirmed, Bai Hua was silent and did not answer.
"Assassin, I don't want to do anything with you, since you have pieced together the territory of victory, then you must also want to defeat the Hero King, why don't you tell me your plan?"
Just say it.
Or you admit that you have a plan, but for some reason you can't tell us, it's okay, but admit it!
Saber worked hard to get the message across.
In tomorrow's battle, victory or defeat is already too much to do, and defeat is not allowed, let alone any betrayal.
"Saber, calm down, Mr. Arthur Doyle should have his own ideas, we ······"
Emiya Shirou stood up with a dry smile and explained, but after getting a warning look from Rin Tosaka, he had to shut his mouth stupidly.
"Shirou, shut up!"
With a deep groan, Rin Tosaka patted Saber's shoulder, and then looked at Bai Hua.
"Assassin, you should know that we can't have any suspicion in the next battle, so tell us your plan here, otherwise we won't be able to trust you."
“······”
"I remember, you said: 'Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm exceeded my expectations, and it was my hesitation that caused the defeat.'" ”
This is Bai Hua's original words.
Understand this sentence in another way.
"'Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm was unexpectedly powerful, but I had a way to win, and it was only because I hesitated to use which way to use it, which caused the defeat and caused Archer to cover my retreat with his life.' Is it okay to understand it this way? ”
Rin Tosaka stared at Bai Hua closely, and a trace of annoyance already appeared on his face.
If this sentence is understood in this way, Bai Hua must at least half of the responsibility for Archer's death.
“······”
Silence, still silence.
Bai Hua's expression did not change in the slightest, as serious as ever, and his thoughts could not be judged from this.
However, Rin Tosaka has been sure.
"If you don't want to answer my question, then let's do it another way. Give me an answer, or else we will drive you and your lord out in the name of the master of this place. ”
A threatening question, just like that, came out of the girl's mouth.
Emiya Shirou wouldn't allow that to happen, but he also knew that it wasn't his turn to speak up yet.
Saber, on the other hand, disdains to use such a method, but at the moment, it is an extraordinary situation, and he can only pretend not to hear.
"It's me, did I say superfluous words, I really can't do what I used to be. You..."
Finally, Bai Hua spoke.
If you don't open your mouth, you won't be able to.
After all, in today's situation, Illya, whose soul is in a state of absence, is not cultivated in a quiet environment, which is likely to cause a second trauma to her soul.
Of course, Bai Hua can also choose to leave with Illya, even if he doesn't have money, if he uses the technique, it will be easy to find a place to live.
However, this means that the alliance is completely broken, and there is no possibility of joining forces, and it is even more impossible to defeat Gilgamesh by his own strength.
“··· Very good, Rin Tosaka, I have to admit it, as a magician and master, you are very good. ”
Accompanied by a deep sigh, it was Bai Hua's admiring tone.
He compromised, and finally nodded in acknowledgement.
"Indeed, as you think, I already have a plan for victory, and the boy of the palace is the key to deciding the victory."
"In other words, you don't need to rely on Saber's strength at all, as long as Archer and the current Shirou, one of the abilities they share, is enough to defeat that bastard Golden Flash, but because of your hesitation, my Archer died!?"
Rin Tosaka's tone became dangerous, and his hatred for Gilgamesh seemed to be gradually shifting towards Shira.
"As far as the facts go, it is, but ······"
As he spoke, Bai Hua paused, as if he didn't want to go any further, and noticed Rin Tosaka's gaze as if he was eating people, so he continued helplessly.
"However, my way is based on the stability of the inherent enchantment of the [Infinite Sword System], if the world created is not stable enough, then what leaks out may be even more terrifying than the [evil of this world]."
"Do you know what you're talking about? If it weren't for you bastard, my Archer wouldn't be ······"
Directly ignoring Bai Hua's words, Rin Tosaka stood up excitedly as if he couldn't bear it anymore, venting his anger that was completely in the nature of anger.
Four gems with huge magical power were held in her hands, as if they would be thrown at any time.
"I ask you one last time, are you capable and yet watching Archer die!?"
"Far board?"
"Rin, calm down."
Emiya Shirou and Saber reacted separately, with the former blocking Rin's view and the latter grabbing Rin's arm.
After confirming that Rin Tosaka would not make drastic moves for the time being, Saber looked at Bai Hua.
"Assassin, you'd better explain."
If Bai Hua had the ability, but watched the death of Archer, who was covering his retreat, then his behavior was even worse than betrayal.
"I said that we must determine the spatial solidity of the [Infinite Sword System], otherwise, once the two sides attack and collide, the energy leaked out will cause more serious consequences than the [Evil at this time]." Bai Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.
The atmosphere suddenly became sinister.
