"By the way...this place should be Roppongi, right? There was a fight just now, and I didn't pay attention..."
Ignoring the group of hoodlums who were crying and running away, Fujimaru Ritsuka took a few glances at the street.
"So maybe I should call myself [Archer of Roppongi]?"
Archer said to himself.
"What, isn't that more like a cowherd?"
Rolling his eyes, Fujimaru Ritsuka obviously disliked this title.
Lawrence stood behind Fujimaru Ritsuka and Archer, with a hint of doubt and weirdness in his eyes, and restrained his magic position.
Is the weapon something like that coffin...?
Middle-aged gentleman, white face, coffin weapon, job description is Archer... is he a writer or artist?
But if that's the case, why not Caster?
Lawrence thought silently.
Her knowledge reserve is undoubtedly terrifying. Because she is one of the differentiated individuals of the Root Thread, she possesses knowledge spanning several eras. In addition, most of Chaldea's information has been memorized by Lawrence, so
...Lawrence is able to identify the elements of most Servants.
However, the man in front of me has no information.
Lawrence was unable to decipher the information about Archer in front of him.
It can even be said that whether it is Archer or thinking in the direction of Caster, they all feel a little weird and they don't fit in with any Servant.
Moreover, if Catser is really an artist...why was he summoned in an old form?
Unable to understand, unable to discern.
The same should be true for Leonardo. If he can't do anything about it, Leonardo will probably find it difficult too.
Still... let's take a closer look.
...
"Assassin, Rider, Archer, the barrier seems to have been touched. Although I adjusted the position of the barrier and moved them into the air, it seems-"
"It doesn't do anything."
In the tall tower on the west side of Shinjuku, a shadow-like being was saying something.
"Roar......"
The giant wolf lying on the ground let out a low roar, as if ready to tear everything around it into pieces at any time.
Then, the giant wolf jumped up and disappeared into the Shinjuku night as quickly as possible, just like before.
"Hmph...Are you getting restless?"
The shadow didn't seem surprised by the giant wolf Rider's reaction.
"For Rider, everything here should be torn to pieces. It's not surprising to have such a reaction, but..."
"Hahahaha, that's for sure."
Assassin's shadow was reflected on the ground, appearing to be that of a young man.
"After all, there is an enemy who can fight with all his strength. In this case, of course he will become excited, right?"
"Isn't this the result you wanted when you told us about Chaldea?"
"Well, I don't deny it." The shadow-like existence shrugged.
"So, what should we do? From my point of view, wouldn't it behoove us to defeat them as quickly as possible?"
"So is it necessary? If necessary, I can do it now?"
Assassin also seemed a little ready to make a move.
"...Archer, what do you think?"
The shadow was not shaken by Assassin's words, but looked at the dark-skinned man.
"...Are you sure you want to ask me, Professor?"
The dark-skinned man had a sinister look on his face and looked like he didn't want to speak.
"You have already planned the deaths of those people, right? In that case, speak quickly so that you can kill them."
"...That's right."
Shadow seemed quite surprised by Archer's words, but still smiled.
"No matter what, I will never overturn my own ideas because of other people's opinions."
"I have been waiting for Chaldea to intervene. How long has it been now?"
"Thousands of years?"
"Haha... It seems that I have taken some personal emotions into account."
"Then, let's start taking action."
Shadow stood up.
"First let Berserker make some big noise, then let Rider become a hound and chew it hard for a few times. If the opponent survives, Assassin, you can take action at that time."
"Hey? Why am I so late? I obviously wanted to come earlier..."
Assassin seemed aggrieved.
"What about me?"
Archer raised his eyes and asked.
"You are an unexpected presence - just like Saber, so naturally it's up to you to keep an eye on that guy and try your best not to let him disrupt the situation. Can you do that?"
Shadow seemed to be looking forward to Archer.
"You would actually say that I am an unexpected existence?"
"Ah."
Archer walked out of the darkness, walked into the light, and revealed his face.
He may have forgotten many things about himself, but if someone familiar with him stood here, he would still call out that sentence——
"Shirou."
Archer in the shadow, real name - [Emiya·Alter].
"I know what I'm going to do, just send me."
"Spreading chaos and spreading evil is quite simple in a sense. That is, if you really want to get rid of Saber, you shouldn't just arrange for me to do it."
"Indeed, but unfortunately, it seems that I really have no cards left in my hand. As you know, Lancer chose to rebel after he was summoned and was killed by me, while Saber did not hesitate to face the siege.
You have escaped, maybe you are the only one who can handle this matter?"
Shadow shook his head, looking very regretful.
"You are good at calculations, but you don't seem to have good luck."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have drawn two such unusable cards in a row."
Emiya didn't have any sympathy for Shadow, but seemed to be just watching the fun.
"Luck never counts, Archer, you have to know that."
"I'm pretty sure you were unexpected. After all, I didn't expect you to be able to get rid of Lancer so quickly. As for Saber's escape... I can only say it's a pity."
"The ones that haven't been dealt with are the most troublesome, aren't they?"
"Not to mention...there are two."
Emiya listened, took out his weapon and walked outside.
"Oh? Are you leaving now?"
"I'm not interested in your phantom implantation technology, and brainwashing won't have any effect on me. I'm just going to do what I'm supposed to do."
"So, I went to check out some of the sniper spots I had previously chosen to see if they can still be used."
"I see, then go ahead."
"Be cautious, it's not a bad thing after all, right?"
"I'm glad that I don't have to be your enemy, Emiya."
Shadow smiled, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.
Emiya gave the answer.
"If this is true, I might be very happy, but what you say is all lies."
"You are evil, that's all I can understand."
After saying that, Emiya turned around and left the tower.
