Not scum not happy

In the construction of the Holy Grail system, the roles of Master and Servant to each other are complementary.

The Master drives the Servant to fight, and the Servant obtains magic power from the Master to perform various actions, whether it is scouting, fighting, or releasing Noble Phantasms.

As for Aosuke, he used the treasure that can bear the magic power output by himself, the Luo Yancheng Cult, who originally fought, and did not need the Master to provide him with a lot of magic power. Ryunosuke only needs to bear his most basic manifestation. Magic is enough.

Although the number is small, the Master's magical power is still necessary, and he himself likes Ryunosuke very much, even if he temporarily leaves Ryunosuke's side in order to find Saber, it is impossible not to make any defense for his Master measure.

As a matter of course, the "defense measures" left by Ryunosuke, who does not know high-end magic such as enchantment, can only be monsters from other worlds summoned by the Luoyan City Teaching Headquarters.

Ryunosuke is not the kind of person who takes a loss and lets it go. After leaving the scene safely, the first thing he does is to order "defense measures" to teach Rin who ruined his good deed.

- pat.

The starfish-like alien monster fell straight from the top of the dark alley between Zongchun and Rin with a huge wind force, and its five pseudopods wriggled twistedly.

The tip of the magic pointer on Rin's chest gave off a strange red light, as if about to pierce the dial, pointing at it very firmly.

——The current Rin is not enough to make the magic pointer have such a reaction.

Looking at the squirming starfish, recalling what his father Tosaka Tokiomi said when he got the pointer, Rin was about to break out in a cold sweat.

Zong Chun frowned. He was not a magician and he couldn't judge the exact strength of the monster. Perhaps this was also a fearless expression of the ignorant. Before the piece of meat started to move, he had already stretched out his hand and pointed at the starfish.

The tentacle monster that has been entrenched in the dark is like a hunting dog that has been ordered. The black tentacles are like black arrows and shoot at the starfish monster. However, the black arrows cannot penetrate the surface of the starfish monster. The starfish in the movie was just struggling desperately in pain, but maybe it didn't expect the tentacle monsters born from the same source to attack him, and the tentacles immediately changed their ways. Drag back to the shadow.

The monsters summoned from the textbooks of Luoyu City, of course, also have strengths and weaknesses. This starfish monster is inconspicuous at first glance, and it is not even as intimidating as the tentacles, but in fact it is considered to be very defensive. Otherwise, Aosuke would not have entrusted him with the important task of protecting Ryunosuke.

On the contrary, the tentacle monster, which seems to make people feel creepy, can only be regarded as the worst among many monsters. At best, its attack power can only be used to attack ordinary humans, and its defense ability can be easily cut by a knife , even Assassin can easily sweep a large area.

However, tentacle monsters also have their unique advantages, which are probably the innumerable number of tentacles, the terrifying vitality that can be regenerated infinitely, and the extremely powerful devouring instinct. When the advantage of quantity accumulates to the extreme, quantitative changes will produce qualitative changes.

"Huh, thank you...you." Rin breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a little reluctant, the education she received since she was a child made her bow to Zong Chun. After thanking her, she spoke a little more briskly "I'm Rin Tohsaka, what's your name?"

"I'm......... Hey?" Just as Zong Chun was still hesitating whether to declare his name, Tohsaka Rin in front of him suddenly fell down without warning.

But she didn't fall to the ground, because a pair of hands had already supported her.

The adult man who came out of the shadows was wearing a hooded sweater, with his back slightly bent. Because of the light on his back, Zong Chun couldn't see the face under the hood clearly, so he could only stare at the man vigilantly.

Instead, the other party looked over—Zong Chun felt his gaze—paused for a moment, and then said, "Are you...the child from before?"

(He knows me!?)

(Wait, I seem to have heard this voice not long ago...)

Taking a closer look at the man again, Zong Chun finally saw some clues this time: Although he couldn't see his face, the style of the sweater and the white hair slightly leaking from under the hood... Wasn't it just that he bumped into him in the park before? A participant in the Holy Grail War! ?

***

On the same day, in two completely different places, I met the same person——

Such a thing, probably no matter what, can only be described as "destiny".

Matou Kariya looked at the wide-eyed boy in front of him, and knew that he should have recognized him.

Recalling the first meeting with this boy in the park a few hours ago, Kariya could still recall his own depression at that time.

He also knows that his ghostly appearance is very intrusive, so he deliberately avoids crowded places, and mostly moves from dark alleys or paths, and puts on a hood and lowers his head, trying to keep others from paying attention to him.

But Kariya would still feel uncomfortable when bumping into passers-by occasionally, and those people looked at him with the eyes of monsters or drug addicts.

This boy is also the same, probably because he was too relaxed in a deserted park alone, or the pain caused by the engraving worm in his body weakened his sanity. When he found that the other party was worried(?) about him, Kariya forgot for a moment Knowing his current state, he wanted to give the boy a consoling smile.

Of course, the scared boy quickly reminded him of this fact.

Even though he knew that all of this was a matter of course, the price he had to pay to save Sakura, and he didn't have any regrets, but Kariya still felt self-deprecating, helpless and frustrated... Of course, there was also pain.

However, he has endured enough of these things in this year, and even if he is not strong, he already has a certain resistance.

What really surprised him was the current situation—he had just been attracted by the sound of the siren, because he also walked through a dark alley, but instead found Rin and the boy who drove the monster from the other world.

At this time, the boy's face did not show the panic when he met for the first time, but he was calm and vigilant. If the first meeting was acting, then meeting such a special child during the special time period of the Holy Grail War, Even Kariya couldn't help being a little wary.

Without Command Seals, it shouldn't be possible to be a Master.

...So, he is a pawn belonging to a certain side?

"you……"

Kariya hadn't finished speaking, but as if awakened by his utterance, the boy turned and fled without warning, and quickly disappeared into the night.

If we can catch that child, we can probably ask about the other Master's information.

but……

Kariya lowered his head to look at the limp Rin, but in the end he didn't choose to pursue him.

When Zongchun returned to the underground waterway, Aosuke and Ryunosuke had already returned, and they looked more gloomy than when they went out in the afternoon.

Needless to say, Ryunosuke, the results of a busy afternoon were destroyed by Rin, and Aosuke, who was acting alone, seemed to have gone to find his saint. look close.

Aosuke's mood became more and more unstable, and when Ryunosuke was depressed at the same time, it was already a very dangerous situation.

The only good thing is that Qingxu replenished another batch of "stock" when he came back, and the screams and wailing in the underground tunnel started again-this allowed the two to find a way to vent their emotions, otherwise they would just If the three of them were left, Zong Chun really didn't know what he would endure next.

Even so, Zong Chun could only clamp his tail and try not to make contact with those two people, so as not to remind them that there is still a "material" here.

Zong Chun only regretted it at this time. The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to him. I don’t know how long this group of people can last. If they start killing like Qingxu last night, it won’t take long. If it is exhausted, his good days will come to an end.

If he had known that Qingxu was in this state, he would rather risk being caught and hide outside. If it wasn't for the newly caught unlucky ghost who distracted the two people's attention, I'm afraid he really More bad luck than good luck.

At this time, Zong Chun could only hide in an inconspicuous corner, surrounded by tentacles waiting in full force.

Although incomprehensible, they could sense his tension and fear, and Zong Chun acquiesced in the approach of these tentacles.

(...Really... When the critical moment comes, he can only rely on this monster he usually hates to protect himself. I don't know whether to say it is sad or lamentable.)

Takano Zongjun spent the longest night since he came to this world with anxiety in his heart, until he finally couldn't hold on anymore at some point, and was able to fall asleep vaguely, with the background sound of the sewer echoing in his ears.

Those miserable-sounding voices and the tentacle monsters became his only source of security. As long as the voice was still echoing, those unlucky ghosts were still alive, and it was not his turn yet.

Because of his vigilance, Zong Chun didn't sleep deeply, but he was so tired that he had to be confused for a while. Of course, the quality of this kind of sleep is not very good, so when he suddenly woke up because of two strange voices, he could only sleep. Feeling more tired.

His brain was still in a chaotic state because he had just woken up, so he could only lean on the mat made of tentacles, and the strange voice came clearly from the closed underground passage.

"...Since Caster is not here, at least we have to look here for any clues." A very young-sounding male voice said.

A rough voice said: "That being said, forget it, kid, you are no match for him."

"It's so annoying!" The young male voice said, after a moment of silence, he suddenly exclaimed: "What is this—"

The second half of his words were completely lost in shock.

"I told you not to watch it." Said in a rough voice with helplessness and sigh.

"Shut up!" The young voice yelled as if he had been stimulated by something, "Bastard—you're playing me—bastard!"

"This is not the time for you to play your temper, idiot. . . . well, let's call it a day. If there is anyone who can read this without even frowning, then I'll beat him up. But your judgment is still commendable Yes, brat. It was actually the right decision to leave Caster and his Master for later. I don’t want to meet them at all now, and it makes me sick to think about it.”

Thanks to the yelling and the calm reassurance from the rude person that followed, Zong Chun also gradually calmed down and realized what happened.

Someone invaded here, and Aosuke and Ryunosuke were not there, probably because they went out to hunt, and it is normal for those intruders to be stimulated by the horrific scenes in the underground tunnel.

The author has something to say: ... I'm sorry, I'm just an idiot QAQ

The event of Rin VS Ryunosuke should have happened on the night when Weber raided Dana's Magic Workshop. I got the timeline wrong and it happened one day earlier.

But I have already written it, so I have to go on like this ==

I apologize, I repent, everyone, please don't be misled by me...
