Chapter 42: The Night of the Church, the Strongest Enemy (6)
The four of them left the church and walked down the ramp, and although they didn't talk much when they came, they were even more silent when they returned.
For that reason, even the sluggish Emiya Shirou knows that after the affairs of the church, Emiya Shirou already has enough understanding of his identity as Saber's Master, and it is precisely because of this that Rin Tosaka will keep a certain distance from everyone.
After walking for a while, it seemed that he was not satisfied with the current atmosphere, and Emiya Shirou spoke: "Tosaka, is your Servant okay?" β
"Huh?" Rin Tosaka suddenly heard Emiya Shirou ask her, paused slightly, and then replied, "Ah, it's okay...... Although the wound from being knocked down by your Saber will not easily disappear, it cannot be materialized for the time being. β
"Isn't that around?" Emiya Shirou asked.
"Well, hide in my house. Because it is now very disadvantageous to be attacked by other servants, it is necessary to guard against the enemy in a favorable place before the wound is healed. Rin Tosaka explained.
"That's right, Tosaka. You just said that guy was the Overseer of the Holy Grail War. That guy, do you know your Servant? Emiya Shirou suddenly thought of a question.
Rin Tosaka shook her head, "I don't know." Because I didn't tell him. β
"That's right. I thought you had a good relationship with that guy. β
Rin Tosaka sighed and said, "...... I said, Emiya-san. A word of advice, don't tell anyone who you really are as a Servant. Even if you can believe it, please don't say it. Because if you don't, you'll be wiped out sooner. β
Hearing Rin Tosaka say this, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but sneak a glance at Feng Jie, but Feng Jie still looked expressionless, and walked at the back by himself.
ββ¦β¦οΌ Saber's true identity, what? β
"That means Servant is the hero there. Even if it's strong, as long as it's proven to be powerful, one day it will be killed while sleeping, right? Okay, so ask Saber to tell you your real name. So you can understand what I'm talking about...... Wait, though. Because Emiya-san, it's better not to know at all. β
"Why?"
"Because Emiya-san, I can't hide things. You don't need to know to keep it a secret, do you? Rin Tosaka sighed and looked at Saber with a sympathetic expression.
Emiya Shirou was a little dissatisfied, "...... I said, what do you think of other people? I can do that. β
"So? β¦β¦ Are you hiding something from me? Rin Tosaka suddenly asked.
"Huh...... Hiding something from Tosaka? Emiya Shirou didn't know what he suddenly thought, and his face suddenly turned red, but fortunately it was at night, and the light was too dim, so it didn't look very obvious.
Seeing Emiya Shirou's expression, Rin Tosaka sighed and said, "Look at it." I don't know what I'm hiding, but I can't show it on my face. You have other advantages, don't think about strategy or anything. β
ββ¦β¦ Huh. What about Tosaka. Don't say to the priest, can't you trust that guy? β
"Qili? Of course, I wasn't big enough to believe that guy. That guy is a fake who was transferred from the church to the Magic Society, but he is still in the church. It's likely that someone else's information will be bought by another master. Rin Tosaka snorted in disgust, as if she really didn't trust the priest.
However, Emiya Shirou was relieved to hear her say this, and he always felt that there was a feeling of closeness to the priest in what she had just said.
Then they crossed the bridge and stopped talking. The cold late autumn air, and the white smell of exhalation. The subtle sound of the water flowing, and the street lamps shining on the bridge deck in the eyes. All these things are now deeply etched in my memory.
When we arrived at the intersection, the intersection of ramps leading to various houses, was the place where Emiya Shirou and Rin Tosaka were separated.
"Let's break up here. I've done my best, and it's troublesome to continue to be together, right? A simple breakup will have to be an enemy from tomorrow. Perhaps in order to draw a line with the ambiguous position before, Rin Tosaka spoke very directly, and then stopped talking.
Emiya Shirou was stunned for a few seconds, and then said with a smile: "What, Tosaka people are so good." β
"Huh? What a sudden abrupt statement. I won't show mercy to my ass. Rin Tosaka turned her head slightly.
"I know. But I don't want to be your enemy if I can. I love guys like you. Emiya Shirou said seriously.
"Wha--" Rin Tosaka was speechless for a moment, and after a while, she said, "Anyway, if the servant is defeated, don't hesitate to flee into the church just now." That would save at least one life. β
"Reluctantly, but listen. But I don't think so. Either way, I'm going to die sooner than Saber. Emiya Shirou calmly stated the current situation.
And then...... Feng Jie slammed his head hard.
"What nonsense, stinky boy!"
"Huh? Uncle Feng Jie, this is very painful! Emiya Shirou grumbled as he inhaled.
And Feng Jie grabbed Wei Gong Shirou's shoulder and smiled at him, but there was an unspeakable danger, he said to Wei Gong Shilang: "Listen, stinky boy, don't you take me in your eyes when you say this?" If you're dead, how am I going to explain it to that Kiritsugu? β
"Uh...... However, Uncle Feng Jie ......, "Wei Gong Shilang has nothing to say, after all, Feng Jie is his elder, and secondly, he also cares about him, third...... He felt that although Feng Jie was not a magician, he had enough strength to say this, because he had felt it before...... Feng Jie's heroic momentum!
Rin Tosaka sighed and said: Listen, if you give more advice, I will really sympathize with you, so I won't say it. Please be careful of yourself. Because even if Saber is good, if you are defeated as the master, it will be over. β
After saying that, Rin Tosaka turned around and walked briskly.
However, Rin Tosaka didn't go two steps away, and her body felt as if it were petrified.
"Tosaka?" Noticing Rin Tosaka's strange appearance, Emiya Shirou was about to ask something, but he suddenly held his left hand, because, the spell on the back of his left hand erupted in an unforgettable pain at this time.
"ββββ, are you done?"
The childish voice echoed in the night, like a singing voice, it was indeed a girl's voice. The eye was drawn to the hillside, the clouds had drifted away at some point, and the bright moon shone in the sky.
And then, there's it: a tall shadow, in the dim pale city of night, an alien that can't exist......
βBerserkerβ¦β¦β
Rin Tosaka's slightly trembling voice had clearly pointed out the true identity of this huge alien, and beside the behemoth, the petite figure looked even more compact.
"Good night, big brother, this is the second time we've met like this."
Emiya Shirou's breathing couldn't help but suffocate, and the muscles in his body almost stiffened, what kind of desperate feeling it was, as if he would die if he moved, he was like meat on a chopping block in front of others, and if he moved slightly, he would take his life.
"-Oops, that guy, it's not on a different level." Rin Tosaka gritted her teeth, compared to Emiya Shirou, she was still able to resist this desperate powerlessness a little, but the courage in her heart could only support her until she did this.
At this time, the maiden politely lifted the hem of her skirt and performed a very unsuitable etiquette for the occasion.
"Hello, first meeting, Rin. I'm Elijah, Elijasfil? Feng? Einzbelen. β
"Ain...... Zbelen?! Rin Tosaka's body shook.
Seemingly satisfied with Rin Tosaka's reaction, Illya showed a happy expression, and then, as if singing, the girl gave the order to the alien behind her.
"Then kill them, Berserker."
