On the street, the two couples stopped invariably and looked at each other, somewhat panicked.
"I didn't follow you, Sister Jie...it's just that I happened to be walking in this direction or something?"
Emiya Shirou pointed forward, glanced at Anno, and then looked at Akuko.
"Huh...? But we've been out for a while, right? We've been walking the same road for so long..."
Snap.
The book in Akuko's hand was closed.
"Are you here to find Caster?"
call--
Anno stood between Emiya Shirou and Akuko.
"...Sister Aji also went to find Caster?"
Emiya Shirou's voice deepened, and he frowned and looked at Akuko standing far away.
"Sister Jie, what are you doing with Mr. Caster?"
He went to Caster to form an alliance, to use the power of Adrosson Falgo to try to subdue the Berserker next to the girl and try to communicate with him, and Akuko...
Based on Emiya Shirou's understanding of Akuzu, and Akuko's overly clear-cut character of love and hate, she would never go to Caster for reasons such as forming an alliance.
So if that's the case, there's only one answer left...
"Don't ask stupid questions like this. I have no interest in answering them."
On the deserted street, Kazuko narrowed her eyes, put the books in her hands back into the package, and then——
A bloody dagger appeared in her hand.
"The answer to things like this is always obvious."
"I didn't originally plan to let Saber leave so early, but since you have hindered me, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble if I don't eliminate it."
"Shirou, Saber is very powerful, so do you really have the determination to continue fighting as a Master?"
"well?"
Seeing Akuko's hair floating up strangely, Emiya Shirou was a little... dazed for a moment.
"Idiot! Move!"
Annuo shouted angrily and raised his arm.
Ping——
White arm armor appeared on Annuo's arm, and the blade in Akuko's hand slashed upward instantly, sparks flying out.
"Sister Mustard...?"
"snort--!"
Annuo snorted coldly, exerted strength with her arms, and Kazuko flew backwards uncontrollably, but she stabilized her body in the air and landed calmly on the ground. After standing up, she took another look at Annuo.
.
"Shirou Emiya, Master of Saber."
A bloody dagger also appeared in her other hand. The two daggers spun in a circle in her hand, and Shirou could already smell the rusty smell of blood.
"Assassin Shuten Douji is dead, and the Holy Grail War has started again. In other words, even if I kill you here, it is an act within the rules, the rules of the Holy Grail War."
"I already know you understand your situation."
Raising her head slightly, she seemed to despise Emiya Shirou again, but there was no smile on her face.
Such an expression made Emiya Shirou feel creepy.
Is this really an expression that humans can make?
Sister Jie, whom I have been with for ten years...is going to kill me now?
Such thoughts appeared in Shirou Emiya's mind, making his heart beat wildly.
What appeared at the same time was——
anger.
"...Sister Jie, I have never been so aware of my situation as I am at this moment."
Emiya Shirou clenched his fists and glared at Akuko.
"That's one thing I'm working on."
Projection...begins.
Driven by magic power, Emiya Shirou raised his hand.
"Sister Jie, who lost her husband, wants her husband to come back - I don't know the weight of such a wish, but I understand the weight of life."
"If a wish requires taking another person's life to be fulfilled, then I will definitely do my best to stop it...!"
"It is because of people like you, Sister Aji, that the Holy Grail War exists in this world."
Buzz——
A dagger made of precious stones appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand.
Projection magic, successful.
Moreover, what Shirou Emiya projected was the dagger made of precious stones that Shinji Matou gave to Shirou Emiya during the battle with Assassin Shuten Doji yesterday.
But Emiya Shirou was not happy about the success of his magic. He raised his sword and pointed it at his sister, whom he had been with for ten years.
"I want to defeat the Holy Grail War—starting with you, Sister A mustard."
"This is my [beginning]."
The gemstone dagger in his hand was cast with a silvery-white light for some unknown reason.
"...How dare you say it."
A smile finally appeared on Akuko's face.
It's a pretty smile...if it weren't for the current situation.
"So... is there really going to be a war?"
Anno's expression was a little heavy, and the attire of a servant instantly appeared, standing next to Emiya Shirou.
"I've been looking forward to this for a long time."
Contrary to Annuo's heavy expression, Xiang An's expression looked a little excited.
Most annos actually have Xiang An's attitude towards things like the civil war, except for Lawrence and Noerla.
Lawrence is the real deal, Nourla is too young and doesn’t want to fight.
And others...
Ananu, Ocean Anos, Zuocun Annuo, Xiang An.
Each one is heavyweight.
Although Anno himself is somewhat interested in this, among Anno, he is the one who knows his own strength most clearly.
His strengths are strong endurance, superior melee combat skills, and strong magic power output of his Noble Phantasm. However, his weaknesses are that the magic power life sometimes cannot keep up, and he lacks long-range means, so... take a look at other
A few annos.
Ananu is almost invincible. Not only does he have strong endurance but also very strong magic power endurance. He has many long-range methods and is almost only defeated by Annuo in melee combat. The output of his Noble Phantasm is not weak either.
Ocean's agility is average, and his stamina and magic power are similar to Anano's, almost unlimited. At the same time, he has one of the strongest magic outputs among Anno, and his long-range means can shoot a nuclear bomb with one arrow.
Xiang An is an all-around player. Unlike Annuo, Xiang An has conventional long-range means and diversified attacks. As a Rider, Xiang An has excellent agility and mobility, and he also has the ability to control ghost generals to assist in high-end battlefields.
I won’t mention Zuo Cun. Compared with the above ones, he is too good.
All in all, Jian'an's situation is a bit embarrassing.
He is the kind of hard nut that is difficult to knock down in a one-on-one battle no matter who he is considered as an opponent - but at the same time, it is also difficult for him to knock down other people.
Think about it, Oceanu dragged Annuo into his own inherent barrier, and used his sea bow to attack Annuo infinitely. Ananu condensed countless sub-bodies, and Annuo defended infinitely. Xiang An's words,
He is able to use his powerful mobility to kite Annuo.
Not to mention that Annuo's magic power is simply not enough right now.
