"[Projection, start] (Trace on)."
"The basic skeleton is explained. The constituent materials are explained."
"Basic skeleton, changes, composition materials, reinforcements...!"
Emiya's house.
In the warehouse in the backyard, there were a few drops of cold sweat on Emiya Shirou's head, and he seemed to be in pain.
And what he came into contact with using his magic——
It's a steel pipe.
"Well......."
Buzz——
A red light flashed on the steel pipe, and there was no doubt that the magic had failed.
"...Failed again."
Emiya Shirou shook his head in frustration.
"If you are at this level, how can you call yourself a righteous partner?"
"Until now, I can't even complete such a rudimentary thing..."
"It's just a half-baked job."
There seemed to be a shallow mark on the ground. Shirou Emiya glanced at it, but... didn't pay much attention to it.
"Hello!"
A voice woke Shirou out of his thoughts.
Yanagi Kazunari looked at Shirou helplessly.
"Why are you distracted again?"
"Ah, sorry...I was just thinking about something."
"School is over now. The Archery Club wants me to help, so I'll go there first."
The Kyudo Club has been short of manpower these past two days. The Matou family brothers and sisters seemed to have encountered something, and they did not come to school today, so Ayako Mitsuru found an old member of the Kyudo Club to help.
"I understand, but what's going on with you today? Why do you always feel a little absent-minded?"
Yichen looked a little worried.
"I just encountered something strange recently...but it's not a big deal."
Shirou shook his head.
"Then I'll leave first. The Kyudo Club will probably be busy until late. Please pay attention to your own safety."
Issei asked with some worry.
"I understand, don't worry."
Smiling at his best friend, Shirou turned around and walked towards the direction of the Kyudo Club.
...
I helped out in the archery club, and I stayed up until very late at night.
"It's getting dark..."
Glancing outside from the window, Emiya Shirou washed the rag, put it on the edge of the iron bucket, then stood up and stretched.
"I don't know if Sister Teng is still waiting for me over there... Anyway, let's go back first."
After packing everything up, Emiya Shirou walked out of the teaching building, but at this moment...he heard a discordant sound.
——————
Then, there was this scene in front of me.
Emiya Shirou took one last look at the huge white horse and the man on the white horse, and quickly ran towards the outside of the school.
——Almost died!
Almost died!
Emiya Shirou could feel that the guy in blue clothes-no doubt approached him with the gun with the intention of killing him. If the guy on the white horse hadn't suddenly appeared-he
The heart is now...
No, I can't think about this now, I have to leave quickly...!
Running wildly, Emiya Shirou almost broke into his own home, and then fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
I feel so uncomfortable...!
Although that shock saved Emiya Shirou's life, such a terrifying impact, even if it was just the aftermath, is still unbearable for ordinary people...
What are those?
Emiya Shirou lay on the bed, breathing heavily and remembering over and over again.
The red one, and the blue one, and then the one on the horse.
What is that? Is it human?
But can humans really create that level of traces?
Fuyuki City......
What happened?
...
"Lancer, don't conflict with that rider."
"Write down the opponent's characteristics and find a way to retreat...find the guy who ran away."
Bazett said to Lancer in the contract.
Rider is in the front, and Archer is in the rear. Bazett's purpose of sending Lancer this time is to gather information. What he has found now... is enough.
No need to get involved in bigger risks, now...
It is more important to chase the person who left.
What needs to be adhered to in the Holy Grail War is the principle of confidentiality. All Servant battles and magic must be held in secret, and no witnesses are allowed. Once witnessed by ordinary people, spiritual magic must be used to erase their memories.
certainly.......
If the situation is urgent, killing the witnesses directly is also a more efficient option.
"......Understood."
Lancer glanced at Xiang An, remembered his characteristics in his heart, and then without hesitation, he directly transformed into a spirit child and disappeared from the place.
In this case...
The ones facing each other became Tohsaka Rin, Archer, and Rider Xiang An.
Xiang An narrowed his eyes.
"What, you want to fight?"
He saves people just out of randomness, and his opponent...
It doesn't matter.
...
Lancer made a large circle, avoiding Rider's perception, and quickly pursued Emiya Shirou in the direction of his escape.
"Are you going to kill him directly? Or try to use your magic?"
Lancer asked his Master.
"Try using magic. If the resistance is severe... knock him unconscious and try again."
"The current situation is different from just now. Kotomine probably still doesn't want to see ordinary people die unnecessarily."
After hesitating for a moment, Bazett said so.
To be continued...
