Emiya Shirou looked at the girl's narrowed eyes and instantly felt a tingling sensation all over his back.
This woman——is the Servant!
A dangerous servant who killed his master, fled and hid in Ryudou Temple, and got Kazunari involved in the Holy Grail War!
--run!
Such thoughts instantly appeared in Emiya Shirou's heart.
Servants are monsters that are beyond common sense and cannot be defeated by ordinary people at all. Moreover, this is still in school. Although it is still early, there are already other students in school, but the problem now is...
....
How to run?
Looking at the servant disguised as a girl who was only one staircase away from him, Emiya Shirou wanted to run, but he felt as if his legs were frozen and he couldn't move at all.
--what happens?
"Are you trying to escape from me?"
Shuten-Douji let go of the female student's collar. The female student's eyes turned white and she had obviously lost consciousness. The moment Shuten-Douji let go, she fell limply to the ground. Her limbs were still twitching.
At the same time, a mist-like smell of alcohol spread around the servant.
There was an intoxicating and frightening smile on the girl's face.
"Isn't it... a bit too whimsical?"
"Um?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shuten Doji suddenly felt a hint of...disharmony?
She looked down at her feet.
What is this?
A...frog?
Gua——
A green frog lay down at her feet at some point, inflating its belly. It looked... lifelike?
Shuten Doji frowned.
Why is this place—
Just when she was a little confused, the frog's belly suddenly bulged rapidly.
Bang——!!!
The frog exploded, and another breath spread out, dispersing most of the intoxicating mist released by Shuten Doji. Emiya Shirou, who was stopped at the top of the stairs, finally regained his ability to move.
——Think of a way and take action!
The moment Shirou Emiya realized that he had regained his ability to move, he moved quickly.
He grabbed his chest pocket with his right hand——
What he took out was a dagger made of precious stones.
He threw the dagger towards Shuten Doji.
"--What?"
Shuten Doji subconsciously dodged to the side.
And Emiya Shirou seized this momentary opportunity——
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, he quickly climbed up the stairs, picked up the female student who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, then lowered his head and hit the window directly in front of him——
Wow——
Bang!!!
The window was smashed by Emiya Shirou, and he fell towards the first floor with the unconscious student.
——Although it is a bit risky, this is the best solution at this time!
Although I don't know what Issei's current state is, judging from what was discussed in the church before, if that servant wants to continue this Holy Grail War, then Issei's life cannot be threatened. On the contrary,
The unconscious student was the one who was really in danger of his life.
- He would not sit back and watch innocent people die in front of him - with this thought in mind, Emiya Shirou did this.
"Uh-ah!!!"
He landed on his back and rolled around on the ground. Although he suppressed it, he still let out a scream. Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth and did not waste time. He endured the pain and climbed up, looking up.
At the window on the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, the servant stood there looking at him.
"Well, well, it looks like he is a kid who likes to be a hero."
The smile on Shuten Doji's face did not disappear.
She can feel it.
I can feel the weakness of the Master in front of me as a magician.
Weakness and bravery - two words that don't match each other.
Putting the female student aside, Emiya Shirou breathed heavily.
Blood flowed from the top of the head, down the cheeks to the chin, and then dripped from the chin to the ground. His arms were shaking a little, but he still took out the second gem dagger from the chest pocket.
"[Projection, start] (Trace on)..."
Basic skeleton, explained.
Composition of materials, explanation...
Green lines appeared on the gemstone dagger.
......no......!
What can be done now is very limited...!
The hand holding the gem dagger trembled even more violently, and the shape of the gem changed slightly...but only slightly.
This is all we can do now.
Emiya Shirou raised his head and looked upward again, but...
"Are you looking for a concubine?"
The voice came from behind him.
Varied--
Before he could turn around, Emiya Shirou felt a cold hand on his neck.
He froze in place again.
Unlike at the top of the stairs, where he was controlled by the opponent's ability and lost the ability to move, this time - Emiya Shirou did not dare.
He could feel the almost irresistible and huge force coming from that slender hand. As long as the other party thought about it, his neck would be broken almost instantly.
"I remember you."
"Two days ago, when I came to this place to look for Yi Cheng, he seemed to be with you."
Shuten Doji tapped his lips with his other hand.
"So, are you friends?"
Emiya Shirou did not answer.
In other words, he simply couldn't answer it now.
"It's really interesting...especially the fact that you are also the Master in this Holy Grail War. In other words, if my hand is a little harder now, a group of Masters will be eliminated in this Holy Grail War.
Got it."
Shuten Doji said with a smile, trying to use her arms a little harder - she didn't intend to have long nights and dreams.
Being able to eliminate a group of people here at the minimum cost, isn't it the most valuable gain?
However, the moment she was about to kill Emiya Shirou in front of her, a strong sense of crisis appeared in her heart.
A silvery white light appeared in Emiya Shirou's eyes.
"Um--!?"
Poof——
Before he could react, Shuten Doji's hand that was placed on Emiya Shirou's neck suddenly showed a bloodstain, and blood spurted out.
--what happens?
Emiya Shirou and Shuten Doji were stunned at the same time.
But being confused doesn't mean you're stupid.
Shuten-douji subconsciously let go of Emiya Shirou's neck. Emiya Shirou took a step back, then pierced Shuten-douji with the gem dagger in his hand that changed its shape slightly and became a little longer.
Shuten-douji raised his hand to block, but his hand was directly penetrated by the dagger. Emiya Shirou seized this opportunity and once again pulled the unconscious female student and retreated far away.
