Lancer left, but the two still stood there, Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya still hadn't come out of the barrier, and Ji Xia still didn't think that they needed her help.

"Ta meow?" Ji Xia was faintly uneasy, she approached Atalanta and grabbed her cuff, "...?"

Atalanta remained silent.

"Tamao, you won't leave me, will you?" Without waiting for a response, Ji Xia tugged on Atalanta's sleeve, his eyes glistening with tears.

She sighed inaudibly, and touched the soft hair with her hands, as if to comfort Ji Xia, "No, it's just, it's hard to accept, the Holy Grail we are after is something like that... Besides, it's also You can't trust his words so hastily."

Atalanta paused, "Does Master trust him?"

Ji Xia faltered with her fingers, not knowing whether to reveal the truth or to bury her heart, she took a deep breath, "I think, I probably believe it, but if Ta Meow doesn't believe it, I will support Ta Meow."

"Shouldn't we make a thorough decision after seeing the Holy Grail?" Ji Xia added, wiping away the tears that were about to shed, secretly spurning his cowardly and incomprehensible self.

Atalanta nodded, "Alright."

...One person, one Heroic Spirit finally...remembered something...the dividing line...

Bright golden light flashed.

There was a big hole in the barrier, revealing the embarrassed figures of Rin Tohsaka and Emiya Shirou, and the figure of Caster fighting the others could be seen through the dust stirred up.

It was a woman with long lavender hair, wearing black clothing, her face and shoulders and other exposed parts were covered with red unknown lines, she was holding a silver-white iron chain in her hand, and was using the iron chain to deal with it non-stop. Caster attacked, and every time the two confronted head-on, Caster would stop first.

Caster would not confront her head-on. Although he was not agile enough, he relied on the skills he honed to roam around her, projecting black and white swords to attack her.

The woman's eyes are deep purple, like gems... "Master, don't look!" Atalanta immediately covered Ji Xia's eyes when she saw those eyes, and turned her head at the same time.

But part of Ji Xia's magic power has been frozen... no, it's petrified.

"...Is it Medusa?" The person who can petrify the enemy with his eyes is also a famous person. If it is not a virtual heroic spirit, it can only be Medusa. Only then did Ji Xia find out that Caster fought with his eyes closed.

Ji Xia used other magical powers to agitate the petrified magic power.

Rin Tohsaka was out of breath, she asked Saber to escort them to Ji Xia, Rin held Emiya Shirou who was about to collapse on the ground with blood on his hands to prevent him from falling.

"Yes, that's right, it's Medusa. Assassin has gone somewhere. That Medusa is A.venger."

That's it.

Ji Xia thought, the golden light just now was Saber's treasure, right?

"Thanks, Archer." In order not to reveal his real name, Ji Xia always said that he was Atalanta's job agent when other people were present.

Atalanta shook her head, "Master needs to be more careful."

Holding the bow vigilantly, she retreated with the three Masters who were weaker than the Heroic Spirits, and nodded when meeting Saber's eyes.

Saber understood in no time, she left the four people to support Caster, but her position was not the kind of battle close to A.venger, but to attack A.venger with the sword wind brought by the release of magic power.

The strange thing is that she sometimes fights close to A.venger, but she always keeps her eyes open and defends against the petrified magic eye by magic power, and then backs away after a while.

Even if Caster is the bottom servant in terms of attributes, he can still compete with the upper-middle-class A.venger. If there is no outsider to intervene, both sides may lose.

…………

The silver knife glowed white, and Ji Xia exclaimed: "Rin!" Yes, there is another Assassin, an existence that Ji Xia had long forgotten, and he was pointing his fangs at them.

Atalanta immediately put on the string and shot quickly, but Saber, who was originally assisting Caster, reached Assassin faster than Atalanta's arrow, and pointed her sword directly at Assassin's neck.

In the Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu was Saber's Master, and Saber was the Saber in the Fifth War. Being an Assassin naturally knows how long and powerful Saber's sword is.

So without hesitation, he chose to avoid Saber's sword and its subsequent attack and chose to bear Atalanta's arrow.

Assassin panted slightly, his muscular strength and durability were not very good, he could only retreat in the face of Saber's attack, and the prestige (?) of chasing Archer and Ji Xia the day before yesterday went nowhere.

What's more, what he was facing was not a follower with more than two riders.

The situation of the battle changed in an instant, Caster held back A.venger, and Assassin was flanked by Archer and Saber, and would soon be defeated, after which Archer and Saber could go to support Caster and eliminate A.venger.

The abacus was well done, but they all overlooked one point.

Just when Saber was about to destroy the spirit base of the servant in front of him, Shirou suddenly shouted: "No, Saber!" But he is not Saber's Master.

Saber took a few steps back and looked at Rin suspiciously.

Rin is Saber's Master.

"Stop it first, then Shirou, what do you want to say?" Rin's eyes were not good. Anyway, the first loser of the Holy Grail War was about to appear just now, but Shirou stopped him. No matter how he thought about it, he was in a bad mood.

Emiya Shirou's voice trembled a little, he barely got rid of Rin's support by holding his injured right hand and stood up, "Is that you? Dad——"

Assassin didn't speak, but silently raised the red scarf, and tightly held the wooden gun in his hand.

He was tired, he had been his Master about Saber's tactics, of course he could guess what she was thinking, but he was not willing to be Kotomine Kirei's knife, besides.

Assassin took a look at Shirou and Rin, it was enough to see..., but he didn't know what happened to Illya.

He bowed his head and smiled. Before he died, he managed to send an 'origin bomb' to his Master when Archer (Gilgamesh) was away. Even if it didn't hurt much, it wouldn't hurt, right?He became the servant he summoned, and under the skill [Holy Grail's Favor], he clearly felt the filthy feeling on Kotomine Kirei.

…………

Assassin is still dead, even though he is Shirou's father, no, his adoptive father, and his Master didn't recall Assassin like last time.

It's like throwing away after using it.

Before dying, Assassin chatted with Shirou.

Emiya Shirou seemed to have been hit hard, his injured body was not strong enough to support him to stand up, so Ji Xia walked over and silently performed an advanced healing magic on him.

"Thanks, morning."

Under the action of mysterious things, Shirou's injury miraculously began to recover quickly, Rin didn't pay attention, Ji Xia took a deep look at Shirou.

My magic isn't that amazing...remember, did Shirou have King Arthur's scabbard?

Ji Xia thought uncertainly.

A.venger ran away relying on EX's agility and his mount - a pegasus, there was no effective means to keep her, Rin sighed, at least at the last moment, the arrow shot by Archer also seriously injured A.venger's body look.

But it's not a loss to eliminate an Assassin.

The barrier is broken.

...the fourth day of the Holy Grail War...

【Morning episode】

Shirou opened his eyes and gasped for breath, his clear eyes widened, recalling what he had seen in his dream.

——Being questioned by the saved person, doubted by him, without the slightest complaint, still doing stupid things of helping others without asking for anything in return... very similar to myself.

On the endless battlefield of Sword Hill, he supported his body with his sword and killed the last enemy. He fell to the ground with a satisfied smile, and was betrayed by those who had saved him and sent to the guillotine.

"...Caster." He said involuntarily.

Caster's figure appeared next to him, leaning against the wall, with his hands folded on his chest, expressionless, "Why, are you so overwhelmed by seeing a little bit of my memory?"

Emiya Shirou didn't speak, he clenched the quilt in his hands, feeling a little blocked in his heart because of Caster's past.

"No need for sympathy, I'm just your tool, and you don't need the feeling of 'sympathy' for tools." Caster said coldly.

…………

After experiencing such an incident, the school gave the students a long vacation. Today, Ji Xia and others will go to Liudong Temple to check the situation. The magic power of Liudong Temple has skyrocketed within a few days. Rin suspects that there are suspected followers there.

So they're going to go there and have a look.

Caster and Shirou practice swords at the dojo.

Ji Xia and Rin are eating the breakfast made by Caster.

This was Shirou's initiative. He was eager for strength, so he asked Caster to train him.

Caster silently nodded in agreement.

Every time Shirou hits, he grows rapidly, and Shirou, who doesn't know much about these things, just thinks that Caster is letting go, and only Caster knows.

That is, gaining the experience of the future self can make such rapid progress.

Yes, Caster is Shirou's future.

He lowered his head so that Shirou could not see his expression clearly, a hint of sneer arose, it's time to call it a day.

The author has something to say: PS: I originally wanted to end Shirou and Hong A in the first chapter and then quickly send a bento bilibili to end, but I still overestimated my writing skills. It feels weird to write briefly, so let it be.

If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask questions_(:з」∠)_Although it may not be able to perfectly answer your doubts, but it must be able to justify yourself. Where the writing is strange, you can also give some comments. After all, it looks very smooth to me as a reader. It's another feeling.
