Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

The teacher was giving a lecture in the classroom, and Shinji began his most boring time of daydreaming again, but from time to time he would glance at the roof of a building outside the window...

It looked like there was nothing there, but Shinji could sense the presence of a heroic spirit.

It should be Red A. Rin seems to be very insecure!

On the other side, Emiya, who was punished for being late in the morning, had dull eyes and looked daydreamy. It seemed that what happened last night dealt a great blow to this "messenger of justice."

After class, the students gathered in small circles and chatted with each other, but no one dared to approach Shinji. It seemed that the "small group" phenomenon in the island country was quite serious. However, it was somewhat surprising that Emiya, who should have been the same as them, was lying on the table with no interest at all.

"It seems that Emiya-san slept well last night. After all, that old woman never skipped even my class!"

…You're not bringing up anything that's not relevant.

"Haha... I just accidentally forgot to set the alarm."

Shirou Emiya smiled awkwardly, but suddenly his pupils shrank slightly, because he saw the tattoo on the back of Matou Shinji's hand that he "inadvertently" revealed...

[There was nothing the day before yesterday]

The smart Emiya classmate keenly felt that this might be related to what happened last night, but he didn't plan to ask Shinji directly for the time being. He had to go find Rin to find out the situation first.

……

"If you don't want to die, stay away from me. This has nothing to do with you."

"How can it be okay? I almost died there last night!"

Hearing this, Rin was suddenly speechless. In her heart, she always believed that what happened to Shirou last night had something to do with her. At the same time, she also understood that Lancer was likely to kill Shirou again.

"Anyway, just find a place to hide and it's best to leave Fuyuki City. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if you die!"

"You're going to be killed just because I saw you fighting... By the way, let me see your hand."

As he said that, he suddenly grabbed Rin's hand and looked at the back of her hand. [Sure enough, Rin also has that tattoo]

"Ah!" Rin was startled by Shirou's sudden behavior and quickly pulled out her hand to slap Shirou.

"Why did you hit me?"

Lin did not hide the disgust on his face. Why did he save such a thing?

"If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for killing you with my own hands."

After saying that, he left with a wave of his hand. The words Shirou was about to say were stuck in his throat...

Shinji, who was watching a good show in the dark, said it was a good deal, but this local dog was too useless. He had revealed his identity to him, but how could he not even do a small task like passing on a message?

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

night

Although Rin said that she wanted to kill Shirou, she still ran to the vicinity of Emiya's house. Facing Red A's questioning eyes, Rin just said, "Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative. That kid is a good bait."

Just like this, Red A was pulled over half-believingly and half-doubtingly. After all, he was his Master after all, and he had to give him face. Moreover, this silly girl actually wasted a Command Spell in order to make him obey her orders. He didn't want to follow her after being forced by the Command Spell.

At this time, Shirou Emiya was still studying magic in his bedroom, and he didn't seem to be aware that he was being watched.

"Hey, we meet again, kid!"

Emiya Shirou:!

Turning his head to look at the source of the sound, a man in blue armor was looking at him with a smile...

"I let you escape last time, but I won't let you escape again this time."

The red magic spear turned into a flash of light and flew towards him. Shirou hurriedly crawled to the ground to avoid one shot, but the second shot came immediately.

He picked up a paper tube from the ground and used strengthening magic to harden it in an attempt to resist Lancer's attack, but the paper tube was just a paper tube after all, and it was broken after a while.

Emiya Shirou had no choice but to run away. He ran all the way to an abandoned warehouse, broke down the door and dodged the flying magic spears.

"Alright kid, enough hide and seek!"

Cu Chulainn waved his hand, and the magic spear stuck in the gate flew into his hand as if it had life, and the tip of the spear reached Shirou's throat...

"To be honest, I was quite surprised. It was a nice physical reaction, but that's it."

[Am I going to die? How can I die here like this? How can I...]

A dim magic circle in the corner suddenly emitted a bright light, and a series of magical lights formed the figure of a girl in armor. At the moment when the tip of the spear pierced Shirou's body, the girl's emerald green eyes suddenly opened, and she rushed forward, picked up the magic spear with the transparent weapon in her hand, and forced Lancer back with a horizontal slash.

Cu Chulainn dodged the slash that passed by his face and looked at the Command Seals gradually taking shape in the red-haired boy's hand.

Cuchulainn: ...

A thousand horses were galloping through my mind. Okay, okay, you guys are going to play like this, right? I'm just going to kill a human boy. This is already the third Heroic Spirit that popped up. Am I going to fight my way through the Holy Grail War just for him?

Am I just having bad luck?

"May I ask, are you my Master?"

The halo on her body dissipated, and a blonde and blue-eyed female knight in armor said the classic line to Shirou Emiya.

"This, this is..."

It was not known whether Emiya Shirou was stunned or frightened, and he stood there in a daze for a while. Saber did not pay any attention to him, and her eyes were fixed on Lancer opposite her. As soon as their eyes met, they immediately engaged in a battle of weapons.

"Hey, Saber, as the strongest class, doesn't even dare to show her weapon?"

In the first confrontation, both of them were mainly testing each other, but Cu Chulainn felt a little uncomfortable because he couldn't figure out the shape and length of the weapon in the opponent's hand.

"I'm sorry, if I show my weapon I'm afraid it will reveal my real name, so I have to hide it. But you can guess whether it's a sword, a knife, or maybe a gun!"

Saber smiled sweetly, bewitching Shirou who was standing beside her to death.

But Brother Gou has no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery.

Huh!? You are a spearman, then who am I? No, I seem to have seen two Assassins... and an archer with two swords...

Is this Holy Grail War really okay? This is really hard to handle...

Scarlet magic flowed through the gun. Lancer jumped high, holding the magic gun in his hand and ready to fire.

Difficult? Then don’t do it!

[Spear that Pierces Deaththorn]

Saber, unaware of the inevitable Noble Phantasm that could reverse cause and effect, tried to block it with her sword, but the next moment an image of herself being pierced through the heart by the magic spear flashed through her mind, and she subconsciously dodged.

Then the magic spear that should have been blocked by the sword twisted at a strange angle and instantly pierced Saber's shoulder...

“It was… dodged!

After failing again and again, Gou Ge gradually began to get angry. Just as he was about to move forward to finish off the opponent, a magnetic male voice rang in his mind:

"Come back Lancer."

Looking at his illusory body, Cu Chulainn's face turned dark. He decided that if there was another Holy Grail War, he would never be a Lancer again...
