"So what is going on now? When will the suspended Holy Grail War start again!?"
In the Einzbern family's castle, Illya was losing her temper.
Before the Holy Grail War began, she had been mentally prepared to use Berserker's characteristics to fight fiercely with other Servants for several days. As a result, the Holy Grail War had not been held for long, and she and Berserker even only fought Emiya Shirou.
The white Saber said hello, and was informed by the neutral Holy Church that the Holy Grail War had been suspended due to abnormal circumstances.
She asked her familiar to ask when she could continue, but the goddamn priest actually replied directly to her: "Go back and wait for notification"!
That’s not true!
"I went to obtain information before. It seems that in this Holy Grail War, a servant who killed the Master once again appeared. The Holy Church is now trying to find a way to solve this matter."
Maid Sera explained to Illya.
"...Could it be that Shirou Emiya was killed by Saber? No, with that Saber's momentum, it doesn't look like he would kill his master..."
"Tsk...forget it, it's nothing to do with me anyway."
Illya simply lay down on the bed.
"Sierra, Litherit, I'm sleepy and want to sleep. You can go out."
The two maids looked at each other and bowed slightly to Illya.
"Then, miss, we will retreat."
Covering herself with the quilt, puffing out her cheeks, Illya closed her eyes.
What a...trouble!
...
"What's going on now..."
Emiya Shirou unconsciously said lines that were somewhat similar to Illya's.
He glanced uneasily at the sun that had begun to tilt gradually, and clenched his fists.
"It has been several hours, and there has been no movement in the temple...Shenji, how is Issei's situation now?"
"He's fine. He seems to be asleep now. Didn't you see that he reached out and scratched his belly just now?"
Emiya Shirou:......
They are so worried here, but that guy is lying on the ground sleeping in front of Liudong Temple...
And with your belly exposed, you might catch a cold...
It can only be said that a good old man like Emiya Shirou would come up with such an idea.
"There has been no movement in the temple, and the Shuten boy has not appeared again. He has been staying in the house. No one knows what happened."
"Anyway, let's eat something first."
Matou Shinji took out two sandwiches from his package and handed them to Emiya Shirou.
Emiya Shirou:?
He was a little curious about what happened to Matou Shinji's package. He had taken out a lot of things from it since the morning, but the package never seemed to be deflated.
"Eat it, this is a sandwich I made myself."
Shinji smiled at Shirou.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Taking the sandwich from Shinji Matou's hand, Emiya Shirou devoured the sandwich in three gulps with the intention of eating it quickly to avoid any accidents that required immediate action.
Matou Shinji sat next to Emiya Shirou, smiling as he watched Emiya Shirou eat his sandwich as if he was swallowing a juicy meal.
"Shenji, what's wrong?"
After tapping his chest and forcing himself to swallow the sandwich completely, Shirou Emiya noticed Shinji Matou's smile and turned his head strangely.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking. Shirou usually makes all kinds of food for me and Sakura. Now it's finally my turn to give you food, so this feeling... is not bad."
"Well, then next time you come to my house, I'll think of some new dishes to entertain you."
Emiya Shirou also smiled and nodded.
"Huh? Ah...thank you then."
...
The other side.
On a high-rise building in Fuyuki City.
Tohsaka Rin listened to the conversation coming from the communicator with a dull face.
Why does it feel like there's something wrong with the atmosphere... It's probably an illusion.
Speaking of which, Sakura, Shinji and that guy named Shirou Emiya have a really good relationship...
But Sakura won't mention it, what's going on with that guy Shinji?
Archer probably also knew what Tohsaka Rin was thinking now, so he turned his head away.
"Archer, what's wrong?"
Tohsaka Rin looked over with some confusion.
"It's nothing. Then again, do I really need to keep this posture?"
Archer turned his head back and sighed.
Since he took up his position in the morning, he had pulled up his bow so that he could support him in the direction of Liudong Temple at any time. However, it was almost dark now, and there was still no movement in Liudong Temple.
Although as a servant, as long as he has a sufficient supply of magic power, he will not feel tired or anything like that, but the problem is...
Well, actually there is no problem, it just feels a little strange.
"Well...actually you can put it down...and wait."
Tohsaka Rin suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Picking up the communicator, she quickly spoke to Shinji Matou and Shirou Emiya opposite.
"Emiya, Shinji, can you observe over there - there seems to be something wrong in Ryudou Temple!"
"We don't find any problems with our angles. Wait for me to look at the directions of the other shots!"
As Matou Shinji spoke, he controlled the magic gift placed in front of him and checked the information sent back from several other hidden camera gifts.
"This is..."
Soon, Matou Shinji and Emiya Shirou discovered the problem.
It's fog.
Moreover, it seems that it is not the kind of pink-purple mist, but a thicker and more ominous-looking purple-black mist...
The source of these mist seems to be the room where Shuten Doji is.
"Shirou, let's go!"
Matou Shinji stood up directly.
"Although we don't know what the mist is, we can't think too much now. Let's go up first and rescue all the monks and residents in Liudong Temple - as many as we can!"
"good!"
Emiya Shirou didn't hesitate and quickly followed him. He even ran faster than Matou Shinji.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Ryudong Temple together with Annuo, and at first sight they saw Ryudong Issei lying unconscious at the door.
"Saber, you and Shinji go in first - I'll take Issei down and put him in a safe place!"
Emiya Shirou held Yanagi Kazunari on his back, and then said to Anno.
"I'll do it. You guys go in. The closer the Master and Servants are, the more effective they can be in combat. If a battle is likely to break out, don't stay too far away from Saber, otherwise I'm afraid Saber's magic power won't be enough!"
After taking Kazunari Yanado from Emiya Shirou's back, Matou Shinji patted Emiya Shirou's shoulder.
