To be precise, I am looking at myself, staring at myself.
The camera's perspective slowly shifted from Emiya Shirou's side and moved out of the wall.
Standing right in front of Shirou Emiya, behind the wall, stood a woman named [Matou Sakura] who had a pair of huge mechanical claws, a very broad mind and looked extremely cowardly.
“Emiya-senpai——”
She murmured softly, perhaps out of instinct, or perhaps it was her own habit of addressing him, but the moment she saw Emiya Shirou, she habitually spoke up like a senior.
"It seems that this prison is very secure."
A male voice that sounded quite chivalrous came from beside this [Matou Sakura].
"Mr. Archer."
Golden light slowly gathered from the side of [Matou Sakura].
He was a man wearing a green cloak, green armor, short orange hair, tall but thin, and exuding the aura of a ranger.
The man had an extremely handsome face, and one could tell at first glance that he was a reasonable person, but he looked at [Matou Sakura] who was standing next to him with an extremely impatient and disgusted expression, making the air around them become a little heavy.
"He can't hear our conversation now."
"I can't hear you. This wall is reinforced. Even a Servant would have a hard time breaking through it. It also shields light and sound. Senior Emiya can't see our location or hear our conversation."
Just as [Matou Sakura] was replying to Archer in green clothes beside her, Emiya Shirou seemed to see through the wall and stared at the two people standing in front of him.
For some reason, at that moment, the two servants dared not even breathe, even though the person locked up inside was clearly just a Master.
Then, Sakura, who had almost white hair, appeared in the corridor, and seemed to be calling Emiya Shirou.
He just turned around and left.
"It's really weird. For a moment just now, it seemed like he had determined my location."
Archer was not afraid at all, he just felt strange. After all, he was a Servant, and the other party was just a Master. If there was anyone who was afraid, it was only the Master who was afraid.
"Let's not talk about anything else. Have you already hidden yourself?"
"Hey, do you want to hide?"
At this time, in a lush forest, you can easily see such a building surrounded by red walls.
If Joan of Arc came to this area at this time, she would be able to see such a building almost at a glance.
The reason why she couldn't accurately find Shirou Emiya's location now.
Because of the wall that BB had modified, Jeanne was unable to sense Shirou Emiya's current location through the contract.
However, what BB may not have expected is that rather than using the connection between the Master and the Servant in the contract for sensing, Jeanne may be more accustomed to using the connection between the Command Spells and the Servant for sensing.
"You, can you use your brain? Lancer, that nun-like Master, and Caster are all missing. If such a huge [prison] is located here, they will find it soon!"
Hearing Matou Sakura's doubts, the green-clad Archer yelled in an extremely nasty manner, as if he could no longer tolerate it.
[Matou Sakura] seemed to be frightened by him as well. Her eyes began to tremble, and her two mechanical claws tried to move closer to her body. She looked so cowardly that people felt extremely pitiful for her.
But no one felt pity for her, and the man standing in front of [Matou Sakura] even felt disgusted.
"But, but didn't I send you to find them?"
[Matou Sakura] answered him in a soft and trembling voice.
"Whose fault do you think it is? If you had caught them at that time, there wouldn't be so many troubles, and I wouldn't have to do the work that shouldn't be mine in the first place!"
"I, I'm not as fast as them——"
[Matou Sakura] lowered her head very dejectedly, like a child being scolded, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
"Oh! You are a piece of trash who only knows how to eat!"
I don’t know what influenced him or if this is just his character, but the words he said became more and more unpleasant, and he even started to use abusive words.
"No, I don't eat because I like it. I just need to replenish the energy for the next action."
"Huh!? You should finish the tasks that BB assigned you first, and don't run away halfway through. Isn't it your fault that things have turned out like this now!?"
The green man stepped forward and questioned in a condescending manner.
"I, I, I————" [Matou Sakura] was speechless.
“Forget it, communicating with you is just a waste of time. I will cut out the [Faceless King] for you, and you quickly hide this [Prison]——!”
The green man disappeared from the spot after saying this in great anger. He was afraid that if he continued communicating with [Matou Sakura] like this, he would not be able to help but take action.
The camera returns to the mansion again.
"Thank you Sakura."
Looking at the table full of food, Emiya Shirou walked forward with a surprised expression and thanked Sakura out loud.
"As long as you like it, Senior—"
The white-haired Sakura Matou looked at Shirou Emiya's surprised expression and smiled. She took off the apron hanging on her body and sat on the cushion opposite Shirou Emiya.
"I'm going to start."
The two of them expressed their gratitude, smiled at each other, and picked up their bowls and chopsticks.
At this moment, Emiya Shirou felt the gaze that had been watching him disappear on the spot.
"Goooooooooooooo!!!!!!"
[Matou Sakura] stood outside, smelling the fragrant food coming from inside, and her stomach rumbled rapidly.
"Hmm! It smells so good. I'm so hungry!"
With these words in mind, [Matou Sakura] left the place for the time being.
The moment he felt the sight that had been watching him disappear, Emiya Shirou immediately spoke to Sakura.
"Sakura, have you found a way to leave here?"
Chapter 693: The Forest Shrouded in Poisonous Fog
A breeze blew by, waves of fragrance refreshed the heart, and soft light shone down from the gaps between the trees.
This place is like a green ocean, surrounded by dense jungles. If there is a person in green clothes walking through it, it is almost impossible to find his trace.
And under such a dense jungle, three figures were swaying in it.
"Ms. Jeanne, is Emiya-kun really okay?" Following behind Jeanne, Kiara Sesshōin asked with some concern.
The situation at that time was too dangerous. Even Kiara Sesshōin knew that Shirou Emiya was in great danger.
"I'm still not sure what the Master's current condition is, but at least from the contract, the Master is not in danger of death."
It's only temporary. Jeanne is now eager to find Shirou Emiya's location, but the contractual induction has been cut off from the very beginning.
She could only rely on the Command Seal she had given to Emiya Shirou to search and——reveal.
Now Jeanne not only needs to find Shirou Emiya through this extremely weak sensation, but also needs to protect Kiara Sesshōin, and even more needs to avoid the enemy who is looking for her location.
Otherwise, if they find us again, we will be in an extremely passive situation.
Kiara Seshōin does not have the fighting ability that can rival that of a Servant like Shirou Emiya.
And her servant——————
"Don't think that I can fight. I'm just a writer. It's enough for me to provide you with some ideas!"
A voice like that of a criminal king, or rather, a savior of evil, came from beside Sesshōin Kiara.
It was a child who looked only ten years old with blue hair and wearing a blue suit.
It's just that the voice is totally inconsistent with his childish appearance.
Andersen.
He did not hide his real name at all. After Joan of Arc stabilized the situation, he revealed his figure and directly told Joan of Arc his real name.
As for why he did not come out to fight with Jeanne and Shirou Emiya when they were ambushed in the health room.
He said he was just a weak writer and had no fighting ability at all.
If she revealed her figure, she would only be a burden to Jeanne.
Under such a rapid fall, he couldn't think of any countermeasures, so he turned into a spirit and fell into the same deep pit next to Kiara Sesshōin.
After all, he wouldn't have to enjoy the feeling of falling from a height, although he wouldn't enjoy it either.
In this way, the three of them shuttled through this enclosed jungle.
And this jungle, like the arena that Shirou Emiya enters every time, is a maze, an extremely vast maze constructed through the computing power of Mooncell.
In this maze, there is not only the green-clad Archer who has been searching for Jeanne's location, but also these wandering maze guards, or hostile programs.
The hostile programs of the past were just hostile programs, just like wild monsters, wandering around without any connection with each other.
But the maze here was not simply created by Mooncell. To be honest, most of this maze was built by BB, and these enemy programs were also set by her.
If Joan of Arc ran into one of the maze guards, she would soon be besieged and found by BB.
Of course, these are just Joan of Arc's guesses, but it is better to believe it than not. It is always right to be cautious.
However, their situation is now very precarious, and they don’t have much time to hide.
They are not Assassins, and they do not have the ability to conceal their aura.
Even if revelation could give the most accurate instructions, as they gradually entered the heavily guarded area, the places they could hide were constantly shrinking.
until------
Revelation, at this moment, sent a warning message to Joan of Arc.
"call out----!"
An arrow turned into a bullet and pierced through the air like a dark bolt of lightning.
The sharp sound of breaking wind was heard only after the arrow passed through.
It was an emerald green arrow, with the color of the jungle.
A slight whirl of wind swirled around the arrow, turning it into a sharp blade of wind and shooting forward.
The target was Joan of Arc walking in the forest.
It was a shot that went faster than the speed of sound.
Even sniper rifle bullets cannot match it.
"Qiang————!"
With a crisp sound, Joan of Arc's attire changed. A priest suit with armor appeared on her body, and she held the iris flag tightly in her hand.
It immediately collided violently with the arrow that was shooting at it, causing a ball of sparks to fly up and then fall to the ground.
"It's coming so fast——!"
Andersen looked at the man in green clothes and orange hair standing on the numbers in the distance and muttered softly.
It wasn't that he moved so fast, but that Joan of Arc moved too fast.
Under the connection of the Command Spells, the most suitable path was directly determined through revelation, so that they almost never encountered the maze guards along the way.
If the green-clothed and orange-haired Servant had not felt that a Servant like Jeanne would never abandon her Master and stay far away, he would not have turned back.
And in this way, he happened to meet Jeanne who was sneaking towards Emiya Shirou's position.
"But this forest was created by me!"
As the declaration was made, a horrible poisonous gas instantly spread from the jungle, swallowing towards Joan of Arc and the others like a venomous snake.
"Miss Jeanne, Jeanne, Jeanne!"
Sesshōin was in a panic. Looking at the poisonous gas surging around him, he quickly moved towards Jeanne's direction.
"Don't worry! I've seen something more ferocious than this poison gas!"
In Jeanne's judgment, this poison gas was not strong enough to kill the Master instantly, but it would still cause extremely serious and irreversible effects.
Even so, it is impossible for Jeanne to say that these poisonous gases are not as terrible as Semiramis's and expose Kiara Sesshōin like this.
Joan of Arc waved the iris flag in her hand and stabbed it into the ground, with magic power surging through her body.
The holy light instantly illuminated the already dim interior of the jungle.
