At night, around ten o'clock.

"Brother Cheng." Tohsaka Sakura suddenly appeared in the living room and shouted.

"Huh? Why didn't you go to rest, Sakura?" Ito Shigeichi, who was standing at the entrance wearing shoes, said in surprise.

"Can you let me go with you?" Tohsaka Sakura said softly without answering Ito Shige's question.

"What?" Ito Cheng asked with raised eyebrows.

"I have seen what happened at school today through Sister Medusa. And I also went to find my sister afterwards. I knew that Brother Cheng would have a showdown with my sister's Servant tonight, so can you take me with you?

?" Tohsaka Sakura said softly with a hint of longing in her expression.

"Hey..." Ito Cheng, who understood, couldn't help but sigh lowly.

"Would it be that if I didn't take you with me, you would have run over there at night?" Then, Ito Cheng, who had put on his shoes, turned around and looked directly at Tohsaka Sakura, who was standing in the living room, and asked.

Tohsaka Sakura's cheeks turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and acquiesced.

"Okay, you can come too, but we agreed that you are not allowed to move around when you get there, and you have to stay by Medusa's side honestly, you know?" Ito Cheng sighed helplessly, with a serious expression on his face.

road.

"Yeah." Tohsaka Sakura nodded happily and agreed.

"Come on." Ito Cheng turned sideways and made way for the entrance.

Upon hearing this, Tohsaka Sakura immediately walked to the entrance, sat down on the floor higher than the ground, took her shoes from the side and put them on. After a while, she stood up from the floor and followed Ito Shige out of the house.

"Yeah."

"Bang."

The two of them walked slowly along the quiet street into the distance.

"Brother Cheng, you are just fighting my sister's Servant. You won't hurt your sister, right?" On the way, Tohsaka Sakura suddenly asked in a low voice.

"That's why you had to come with me." Ito Cheng glanced at Tohsaka Sakura beside him and chuckled.

"Yeah." Tohsaka Sakura hummed and admitted.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt Rin. Whether it's because of our friendship over so many years or because of your face, I have no reason to attack her, right?" Ito Cheng said softly.

"Yeah." Sakura Tohsaka had a happy smile on her face after hearing the answer.

Then the two of them stopped talking and walked quietly to the agreed place.

About twenty minutes later, the two came to the riverside of the Miyuan River that crosses Fuyuki Town and Fuyuki New Capital, and stopped on a deserted lawn.

"It seems that we are here early. Rin and the others haven't arrived yet." Ito Cheng looked around and saw that there was no one else around and said.

Fortunately, Ito Cheng and Tohsaka Sakura did not have to wait for long. Less than ten minutes after they arrived, with a slight sound of breaking the air, Tohsaka was held horizontally in Archer's arms like a princess.

Ban Rin suddenly jumped down from a treetop not far away and appeared in front of Ito Cheng and Tohsaka Sakura.

"Crack."

Tohsaka Rin's feet fell to the ground.

"Sakura, why are you here?" Tohsaka Rin frowned when he saw Tohsaka Sakura present.

"Why else? I'm worried about you." Before Tohsaka Sakura could speak, Ito Shige who was standing next to her immediately replied.

After hearing what Ito Nari said, Tohsaka Sakura, who was worried that Tohsaka Rin would be angry, stretched out her hand and gently tugged on Ito Nari's lapel, signaling him not to say more. On the other hand, Tohsaka Rin frowned in discomfort after hearing this. Then

He sighed with a rather helpless expression.

"Sakura." Ito Cheng, who really didn't say anything, shouted in a low voice.

The latter nodded knowingly, whispered "Brother Cheng, be careful" and then walked aside consciously and stopped a few meters away. At the same time, Tohsaka Rin also whispered to Archer.

After finishing the sentence, he walked to Tohsaka Sakura's side, turned around and looked at Ito Shige and Archer who started to confront each other in the field.

"Originally I didn't want to talk to you. I planned to wait until the Holy Grail War was about to end before sending you back so that you could stay in the world for a while and complete what you wanted to do. But since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being rude.

"Ito Cheng, who was looking at Archer across from him with a cold expression, said softly.

"Don't tell me how well you know me. The battle between us is an inevitable result. Don't act hypocritically like you have good intentions." Archer opened his hands slightly, creating a black and white pattern in his hands.

He nestled two single knives and retorted quietly.

"Do you think so?" Ito Cheng said in a meaningful voice, then opened his lips slightly and made several mouth shapes silently.

If there are Japanese people who are proficient in lip reading, they will recognize that the word read by Ito Cheng's mouth shape is exactly the same name - Emiya Shirou!

As the owner of this name, Archer, who had long been extremely familiar with its pronunciation and lip changes, immediately changed his expression and his aura became messy.

"How did you know!?" Archer asked subconsciously.

"Guess." Ito Cheng said with a big smile on his face.

After saying that, he opened his hands and transformed several crystal gems between his fingers, firing them towards Archer one after another.

Several streaks of light immediately flew in front of Archer. Archer waved his swords and knocked the flying gems away with a "clang" sound.

"boom!"

Then the gem exploded, producing balls of blazing flames that made the sky next to the river glow red and bright.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ito Cheng appeared in front of Archer with a step as if teleporting, and pushed his elbow into Archer's chest with a push. Archer stepped aside and quickly slashed at Ito Cheng's chest with his sword.

Ito Cheng separated his hands, and the palm that was originally used for pushing quickly slapped Archer's single-sword sword, and pressed it down hard. At the same time, the other arm bent on his chest suddenly whipped out like a whip, towards Archer's head.

.

Archer moved his head back and dodged with the tip of his nose brushing against the wind of the punch. However, at this moment, Ito Cheng's foot was thrust into the space between Archer's legs, hindering his movements and beating him out at the same time.

His arm changed from a fist to a palm, and suddenly he pulled it back. He hooked Archer's head with a "pop" sound. He continued to press down with his left hand, deflecting Archer's single knife that originally hit his chest. He raised his left leg to the knee and pulled Archer's head away with his hand.

Gou hit his knee.

"Bang!"

Amid the huge muffled sound, Archer felt his head spin and his body lifted up uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, Ito Cheng landed with his left foot, grabbed Archer's collar with his left hand, pulled it upright with gentle force, and once again hit Archer's facial bones with his fist like a discharged cannonball.

"Bang!"

Under the tremendous force, Archer's body flipped and flew away into the distance.

"Archer!" Tohsaka Rin exclaimed with disbelief on his face when he saw that Archer could be so unlucky. On the contrary, Tohsaka Sakura's face had been seen fighting between Ito Shige and Lacher during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

There was no surprise on his face. He looked at everything that happened in front of him calmly.

Ito Shige, who ignored the changes in the outside world, flipped his hands and once again threw several magic gems at the flying Archer.

"boom!"

The next moment, an explosion occurred, and a large ball of blazing fire instantly enveloped Archer's body.

"Bang!"

A second later, Archer's figure flew out of the flames and fell heavily to the ground, his body covered in darkness with his back facing Ito.

"Archer!" Tohsaka Rin exclaimed again.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Arher was lying there on his side like a dead person. He was motionless and did not respond to Tohsaka Rin's call.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng sneered silently at the corner of his mouth, flipped his palm, and conjured four crystal clear gems, and threw them at Archer unceremoniously.

But at the next moment, Archer, who had been unresponsive, suddenly moved and rolled away from the distance. Then, amid the roar of the magic gem explosion, he quickly stood up from the ground and took the long bow that appeared in his hand at some point.

Laman. Under the surge of large-scale magical energy overflowing from it, a noble phantom shining with magical light was shot out.

"call out"

The Noble Phantasm turned into a golden stream of light and flew to Ito Cheng's eyes in an instant.

Archer’s unique skill—Fantasy Jump!

Seeing the attack coming, Ito Cheng's pupils narrowed, and he instantly expanded his perception to the maximum. In an instant, the movement trajectory of the entire world appeared in front of his eyes as if in slow motion.

In this state, Ito Cheng's body quickly leaned back, dodging the hit of the Noble Phantasm's arrow in an instant, and then at the moment when the latter's magic power burst out and was about to explode, he raised his hand to fight back in vain, hitting it into the air with one blow.

.

"boom!"

Amidst the violent explosion, a huge magical flame quickly exploded over the river, shrouding Ito Cheng's body.

"Brother Nari!" Seeing this, Tohsaka Sakura's expression changed, and she shouted eagerly, and she was about to run towards where Ito Nari was. But before she could take action, a hand grabbed her.

Her arms stopped her movement.

The owner of the arm is none other than Tohsaka Rin, who is next to Tosaka Sakura.
