Monday morning.

I sat in the classroom, and my classmates went to class, finished class, laughed and played.

Staying away from things like killing and being killed, it feels great to return to normal.

However, the beautiful girl whom I remembered deeply confirmed a fact for me.

——Shiro Emiya has inevitably been involved in a cruel world full of killing.

Speaking of saber, I remembered the disagreement with her in the morning.

"Shirou, I hope you don't go too far. I've endured most of the conflicts, but I can't give in. Your policy is simply a lot of mistakes just for a master. I won't follow it if you don't tell me the reason."

This is the most serious accusation I have ever received since I met her.

"Saber will not be spiritual. The commotion caused by going to school together will only become bigger and too ostentatious. Shouldn't master avoid people's eyes?

“—”

Saber protested silently.

"During the day, there are so many people in the school, I will not be attacked where there are people. The school is very safe. Moreover, if I protect myself, I will have a way alone."

Saber's eyebrows twitched, trying to refute my words, "If you protect yourself, I will have a way alone."

"I want to ask one thing. Is this saying about Shirou, can you defeat the enemy alone?"

"How is that possible? I mean that I can avoid danger alone during the day. And I don't get close to a place without people, and I will come back before sunset. In this way, Saber will understand. Don't you have to rest in order to preserve your magic, so you don't have to force me to follow."

"Even if I walk with others, I won't fight during the day, and I will come back before dark."

"...Huh. I understand. Since the master says so, I can only believe it."

Saber wanted to speak, but stopped again and sighed.

"It seems that even stopping you is useless. Then, I'll just say one thing."

"What?"

"If you feel dangerous, I hope you can call me on your own initiative."

Thinking of her current appearance, I couldn't help but look at my left hand. In order to conceal my identity, the spell on my hand was covered with a bandage.

Whether it is safe in school can be proved by a spell.

That's what saber must think.

If danger occurs, Saber will never let me come to school alone again.

If there is no danger, Saber agrees to my solo action.

As a disqualified master, she must be very disappointed with me.

But if it is not necessary, I still don't want Saber to come to school.

It is really troublesome to have such a beautiful girl appear by your side.

Wasn't it the same last night? Because I couldn't calm down, I slept in the warehouse all night. Fortunately, I was in good health and had no colds.

Why does saber become a servant?

What will a girl who looks so young become a warrior?

really--

Even if she is not around, I still care.

In a dull state, I spent my day doing this. I went to help Yisheng with my friend and chatted with him as usual. At noon, I met Tosaka. She abnormally ignored my greetings, but nothing happened.

However, I heard two news from my classmates that I cared about. Mizuko, the head general of the Kotodo Department, disappeared yesterday, and Shinji Maki was absent for no reason today.

As a friend's concern, after school, I asked people everywhere for their news and dragged the time until dusk before preparing.

Just then, I saw Tosaka.

In the school building where there is no one except each other, she stood in the corridor leading to the fourth floor like a god in the sky.

The girl with her back facing the sunset declared war on me with silence.

~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while, an explosion came from the quiet school.

Just like the army's fire, the sound of bullets breaking through and the sound of grenade explosions continue.

The sound started from the end of the third floor, passed through the corridor, followed the stairs to the second floor, and finally stopped after a walk on the second floor.

——What an exaggerated guy, this kind of combat power is a mobile arsenal.

If there is no barrier, such a battle can alarm the army.

I stood in the second-floor corridor panting, holding a chair's feet, opposite Tosaka, who was also so tired that he couldn't stand up straight.

During the pursuit and escape just now, I strengthened the table and chairs as shields and exhausted my magic.

Tosaka exhausted his energy, but he still retained his magic power.

In the corridor, the distance from Tosaka made me unable to find any opportunity to fight back.

"The winner is decided. Come on, throw away the broken weapon. In this case, you have no chance of winning."

Tosaka snorted coldly and boasted about her victory, which made me surprisingly angry.

"How can you know if you don't fight this kind of thing? You can tell from your shoulders that you are already out of breath but are still talking big, stupid."

I held the chair's toes and pointed at Tosaka.

"—This is the last piece of advice. Throw away the broken weapon and hand over the spell. The worst case is to strip away the nerves of your hand, but it is better than taking your life, right?"

I think this is the best solution, just-

A blue figure appeared before my eyes.

"No, I can't do that, Tosaka."

"Oh, I want to hear why?"

"The curse cannot be handed over to you. If it is handed over to you, it is tantamount to making me betray saber."

"Is that so? I'll give you three seconds! Your life will be your own choice."

Tosaka raised his left hand.

The moment I refused, that hand would shoot the gand magic.

A high-speed curse bullet that is as fast as a bullet will be knocked down once you hit it.

I have decided to fight, so let’s start looking for a chance to win, I lowered my body.

The battle broke out again and again.

"ah---!?"

Tosaka and I couldn't help but look at each other.

Just now, I seemed to hear the scream below...!?

I gave up my confrontation with Tosaka and ran down the stairs.

"Wait for me! It will be dangerous to run too far ahead by yourself!"

Tosaka followed and ran down. When he arrived at the corridor on the first floor, I saw a figure who looked like a female student lying on the ground in front of the emergency exit.

"…It's so good. I just fainted."

I ran to the female student and confirmed that she was fine. Although she had lost consciousness, there was no bleeding or trauma, so it should be fine.

"It's not that simple. Her face turned blue like this. Didn't you find that her body is empty??"

Tosaka spoke next to him.

"Huh...? It's empty inside...?"

"Magic power, if you want to say the extreme point, is vitality......The same situation caused by the caster, no, it should be even worse. This girl will definitely die if she keeps it alone. But there should be a way to use the gems in my hand."

Tosaka squatted down to rescue the female student who was lying on the ground, and her side face looked very serious.

While I was sweating on my forehead, I was worried about the safety of the female student.

Suddenly I felt a black "something" flying over from the emergency exit.

"Tosaka, dangerous!"

I protected Tosaka's face with my right hand.

Something was pierced between my elbow and my hand, but not much blood was flowing out.

The weapons flying in are more like swords, and they look more like huge nails.

"Huh-what, what's wrong. This is...! Wei Miyako, a hole in her arm, an arm...!"

"Woo--"

With the severe pain, the nail became transparent and disappeared, leaving a large hole in the right hand sagging weakly.

It must be the attacker just now.

"—Tonsaka. I've left this girl to you."
