When he saw his best friend who was also lying on the hospital bed, Shinji Matou's first words were not concern, but surprise that Hakuno Kishinami could appear here intact.
But I am such an ugly person.
Thinking of this, Shinji Matou quickly buried his already black hands in the quilt.
After being woken up, Hakuno Kishinami did not blame her friend, but rubbed her sleepy eyes. She seemed to have long been accustomed to such contemptuous words from Shinji Matou, and responded weakly.
"Well, I almost lost——"
“You bastard——!!!”
Hearing the answer from Hakuno Kishinami, Shinji Matou felt angry and relieved at the same time.
He was furious that Hakuno Kishiba, who knew nothing and didn't even have his memories recovered, had passed the battle like this, while he, as the Asian gaming champion, had failed in such an ugly way.
He was grateful, grateful that his only best friend survived, grateful that she was able to survive this battle and get out of this cruel game.
Chapter 563: Toosaka Rin's Reprimand
"Why are you doing this? This is the Holy Grail War. Showing mercy to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. Sooner or later you will lose your life for doing this! Do you know that?!"
On the other side, on the rooftop of Tsukiumihara Academy, Toosaka Rin loudly scolded Emiya Shirou who was standing in front of her and seemed to be listening attentively.
When she returned to the school building after winning the final battle, Toosaka Rin was prepared to never see Emiya Shirou again.
It’s really incredible.
Even though we had only been together for a few days, it felt like we were old friends who had been together for months.
Although she had made such preparations, Toosaka Rin's heart was still filled with sadness when she thought that she would never see someone again who could make her not care about her image and talk freely without worrying about anything.
At this time, Toosaka Rin couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this.
No matter how powerful Shirou Emiya is, he is unlikely to be a match for Rin Toosaka, especially since his opponent is the Asian gaming champion - Shinji Matou.
His servant is also an extremely troublesome existence, a legendary figure in the history of world navigation, the famous "Sea Devil" in 16th century Britain - Francis Drake.
Toosaka Rin was very clear about this information.
It's not just because Toosaka Rin regards Matou Shinji as a potential opponent, but also because Emiya Shirou once sought her out to discuss matters concerning Drake and wanted to seek some advice from her.
But at that time, Toosaka Rin righteously rejected Emiya Shirou, saying how could she possibly help her enemy with analysis.
However, he couldn't help but discuss with Emiya Shirou about some possibilities of the Noble Phantasm that Drake possessed after becoming a Heroic Spirit.
Although Drake is a Rider, it is almost certain that her Noble Phantasm is the extremely famous [Golden Deer].
But Toosaka Rin still proposed some other possibilities, such as that Biru could summon the fleet that she once defeated the famous Spanish "Invincible Armada".
And Shirou Emiya also asked Toosaka Rin for advice very seriously, which made her a little too proud of herself and she talked a lot to Shirou Emiya without realizing it.
This is how Toosaka Rin comforted herself afterwards.
I was just discussing how to prepare for a head-on battle with Matou Shinji so that I could better defeat my possible future opponent.
After listening to Toosaka Rin's analysis, Emiya Shirou decided to replace the bullets that he had projected in advance and stored in his Yokasa with the [pseudo-small world surrounding the sky].
The originally forged shield, along with his own night hat and body, were destroyed by the data turbulence.
Perhaps it still exists because of its special nature, but it is not in his hands now.
Owning a windbreaker that can store items, there is no way Emiya Shirou would not make use of it.
If you can prepare in advance, you can save more magic power during the battle to deal with more situations.
Although under normal circumstances the amount of magic power consumed for projection is not much, releasing the true name of extremely powerful weapons and releasing one's own inherent barriers both require a large amount of magic power.
So if you can save a little magic power, then naturally you will save a little.
Shirou Emiya would often think about situations he might encounter, and store the items he projected inside the Yokasa.
Although a large number of things can be placed in the night hat, if there are more than two items, it is easy to not get the item you want.
If you don't get what you want at the critical moment of the battle, you can easily lose your life.
So in most cases, Shirou Emiya only stores one kind of item in the Yokasa.
At the beginning, Emiya Shirou usually put the [Devil Haunted] projected in his spare time in the night hat.
In addition to the reverse blade that he uses, the most versatile one is the evil spirit haunting.
At close range, it can be quickly transformed into armor for defense, and at long range, it can be detonated by imagining destruction. It is a highly versatile weapon.
After that, according to the situation you might encounter, you will use weapons such as the [Eternally Distant Golden Sword].
But most of them still keep [Haunted by Evil Spirits].
After learning how to use dual guns, the thing that Shirou Emiya stored the most in the night hat was bullets.
Although Shirou Emiya's pistol can be used to shoot without bullets, the power will be much lacking and it will consume mental strength and magic power, so Shirou Emiya will prepare a lot of bullets for his own use in the night cap.
When exploring the dungeon, Ye Li placed dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of bullets in his bag.
Because there are so many monsters in the dungeon, if Shirou Emiya does not use bullets, it will be difficult for him to have enough magic power to explore so many floors, and it will also be difficult for him to have enough magic power to deal with unexpected situations.
Preparing bullets is one of the reasons why Shirou Emiya needs several days to explore the dungeon, and it is also one of the reasons why Shirou Emiya has high expenses.
After that, when the demand for bullets decreased, Shirou Emiya decided again what to store in Yokasa.
When Toosaka Rin was standing in the corridor with a sad mood, she was about to return to her room.
Emiya Shirou, who looked seriously injured, came out carrying Shinji, who was unconscious but whose limbs were covered with pitch-black substance.
At that time, Toosaka Rin was extremely surprised and couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.
Shirou Emiya actually emerged from the decisive battlefield alive. It was a one-on-one fight with almost no conspiracy or intrigue.
Then there was another round of confusion.
According to the rules of the Mooncell Holy Grail War, when two people fight, one of them will definitely be eliminated. However, as the two opponents in the battle, Shirou Emiya and Shinji Matou both walked out alive.
This is completely against the rules of the Holy Grail War.
But he definitely appeared in front of Toosaka Rin.
Toosaka Rin could also clearly see who was the winner of this battle.
Because her opponent, Hunqi, gradually turned black all over and finally disappeared.
Toosaka Rin clearly understood that this was MoonCell's deletion of the losers.
The dark marks on Shinji Matou's body are obviously much more than those on Shirou Emiya's body.
That's right, when Shirou Emiya carried Shinji Matou out, there were the same black marks on Shirou Emiya's body as on Shinji Matou's.
So what did she do to lead to this situation? Toosaka Rin didn't know.
Not to mention the unconscious Matou Shinji, just seeing Emiya Shirou who had become a bloody cover with horrific wounds, Toosaka Rin couldn't help but feel worried.
Without any hesitation, Toosaka Rin quickly made up her mind and walked forward, stretched out her hand to support Emiya Shirou, and helped him towards the infirmary.
After Shirou Emiya recovered and left the infirmary, Toosaka Rin dragged him to the rooftop and gave him a scolding.
Chapter 564: The second battle begins!
"Ha! I don't care about him that much!"
It seemed that Toosaka Rin's servant was teasing her from the side. She was scolding Emiya Shirou when she quickly turned her head and answered angrily to the air beside her.
"I just, I just——"
It seemed that she had not found any reason to defend herself. Toosaka Rin's face was slightly flushed and her hands were clenched tightly together.
Then, as if he thought of something, his expression calmed down.
No matter what happens, there will only be one winner in this Holy Grail War.
Her purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was not for herself. She wanted to change Lailai, who was dominated and watched by Harvey and had no hope.
It was with this belief that, even though she knew this was a war in which she would risk her life, Toosaka Rin resolutely embarked on her journey.
Thinking of this, Toosaka Rin's eyes became determined.
"If you can live to that time, I will defeat you with my own hands--!"
With these sharp words, Toosaka Rin walked past Emiya Shirou in a very handsome manner and walked towards the rooftop entrance without looking back.
Then——
"boom--!"
"Ow—!"
The sounds of collision and shouting came one after another from the door of the rooftop.
Toosaka Rin seemed to be preoccupied as she walked over, and her attention was not on the road in front of her at all.
The figure walking forward was not aiming at the door at all, so it hit the wall heavily.
How careless does one have to be to completely ignore the door in front of him and bump into the wall beside him?
Toosaka Rin covered her forehead where she had hit it and half squatted down.
That was also when Emiya Shirou turned around and was about to walk towards Toosaka Rin.
She half-squatted and turned her head, looking at Emiya Shirou with her tearful eyes full of resentment, as if to say, if you dare to come over, I will hit you to death with a headbutt.
Then he touched his forehead which he accidentally hit, stood up and turned around, staring at Shirou Emiya as he backed away, fearing that Shirou Emiya would suddenly walk towards him.
"Tousaka, pay attention——"
Before Emiya Shirou could finish his words, Toosaka Rin disappeared from the spot the next second.
“Under your feet——!”
Shirou Emiya wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and looked helplessly at Toosaka Rin who suddenly disappeared.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of crashing sounds came from the stairwell in front of Emiya Shirou. He had already thought about what would happen to Toosaka Rin if she didn't pay attention to the situation behind her.
But with her Servant by her side, it shouldn't be a big deal.
The rules simply state that private fights are not allowed within the academy, but Servants can show up within the academy.
Leo was still wandering around the school with his Servant Gawain and saying hello.
"Is she okay?"
Having said that, when he heard the crash and saw Toosaka Rin fall down, Emiya Shirou was extremely worried and quickly ran to the stairs and looked down.
But at this time, Toosaka Rin could no longer be seen.
"Ding-dong--!"
A sudden ringing sound came from Emiya Shirou's pocket.
That was the sound coming from the terminal in his hand.
The battle was over, so it certainly wouldn't be telling Shirou Emiya that the code key had been generated in the maze.
There is only one possibility for the appearance of this voice.
"The opponent for the second battle has been decided--!"
Looking at the content of the text message on the terminal, Emiya Shirou quickly rushed to the second floor of the academy.
On the large white paper taped to the bulletin board, the name of the next opponent was written next to Shirou Emiya's name in a large row.
Master: Shirou Emiya
Master: Blue Road
Decisive Battleground: February Plains
"Blue Road?"
Just as Shirou Emiya was feeling extremely confused about the name, a chill ran down his spine.
It was not simply murderous intent or murderous aura, but more like a sticky gaze that wanted to entangle the person.
It was the first time that Emiya Shirou felt such a gaze.
In a cold atmosphere, I saw a woman standing in the direction of the stairs where I came from. She had short curly orange hair covering her right eye, wearing a white smiling clown mask, with orange pupils, green eye shadow, a big red nose and big lips, looking at me blankly.
