A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

...that's right.

  If he really wanted to fight to the death, he should have miraculously dodged the blow to the head and then run towards the window without even looking at the person next to him...!

"I thought you were an ordinary kid, but that's it... I can feel your magic power even though it's weak. You're still alive even though your heart is pierced through, is that it?"

The tip of the gun was pointed at Emiya Shirou.

"────────"

Unstoppable.

A flash of lightning like that is unstoppable.

If the man was skilled with a sword, at least he would be ready no matter how fast.

But that's a gun.

There is a sword whose trajectory is a line, and there is a gun whose trajectory is a point.

  How can I defend against an attack that I can't even see through my initial movements?

"That's good. Now you can enjoy yourself for a bit, right?"

The man lowered his body.

  In an instant────

Not from the front, but from the side.

Emiya Shirou blocked the gun that was swinging towards his cheek by reflex only.

“Gu────!?”

"Good boy, come on, the next one is coming...!"

A whirlwind is blowing.

How was it possible in this narrow room that the spear drew a graceful arc without hitting the wall?

“……!!!!!”

  This time, it came from the opposite direction, drawing a large curve towards Emiya Shirou's body...!

“Ah────!!!??”

The makeshift sword used for defense bent.

  Monster───Is that guy holding a hammer?!

Damn, this numb feeling, could it be that the bones in my hands are crushed───!

“Gu, this guy────!”

"Humph?"

Emiya Shirou swung his sword reflexively.

He underestimates himself, right? Then I will knock away the gun you haven't taken back yet───!

"Gu...!"

Both hands that were striking with the spear felt numb.

The makeshift sword bent even more sharply, and the man's gun was only slightly off track.

"…It's useless. I gave you a chance but it wasted my energy. Forget it, it's useless to expect a fight between a magus and me───"

The man's actions just now were just for fun.

If you can block two attacks, you will be rewarded and allowed to attack again. Men can handle this with ease.

...That only and absolute chance was wasted by Emiya Shirou on the spot.

So──this man doesn't think he is worth fighting with him.

"I'm disappointed. You'd better die right now, little brat."

The man raised the gun he had just thrust.

"Whatever you say—idiot!"

During his unnecessary movement, Emiya Shirou jumped out of the window from behind without looking back!

“Hahaha, hahaha, ha—”

He smashed his back through the window and rolled onto the patio.

  After rolling around a few times, he stood up────

“Hah—!”

  Without any evidence, Emiya Shirou instinctively turned his body and struck from behind!

“Ugh—!”

Seeing that the spear was actually deflected by Emiya Shirou, the man hesitated for a moment.

However, all this was within Emiya Shirou's expectations.

He knew that if he jumped out of the window, the man would chase him.

And if this man caught up with him before he stood up, he would definitely be killed.

So────he swung his sword with all his strength, believing that the fatal blow would come!

Although it was a reckless strategy that would kill him immediately if he was a little late, and would kill him due to the gap in the swing if he was too fast, but considering the difference in strength between him and this man, he could only take this gamble. He used all his strength to stand up as quickly as possible, and then desperately fought back from behind.

  Fortunately, I was able to knock the man's gun back with one shot!

"what……!"

Emiya Shirou immediately corrected his posture.

Then, I just need to take advantage of the man’s fear and find a way to run to the warehouse───!

“Fly!”

"Huh……!"

The man whose gun should have been deflected approached him with bare hands instead of a gun.

He turned around with his back to me and performed a spinning kick.

"!!"

The surrounding scenery is flowing.

The chest that was kicked was numb and I couldn't breathe.

No, what should be more surprising is the fact that I was flying in the air.

It was just a spinning kick, but it actually sent his body flying like a ball. He had never expected that it would happen.

“Gu────!”

Emiya Shirou landed on his back.

He hit the wall, nearly breaking his back with the impact, and fell to the ground.

“Ahem…!”

can not breath.

Blurred vision.

Wall──Emiya Shirou leaned against the wall of the warehouse at his destination and finally managed to stand up.

“Hahaha, haha ​​...

With his blurred vision, he caught sight of the man again.

  He found that he was really kicked away, and estimated that he was almost twenty meters away!

The man picked up the gun again and rushed forward in a straight line.

“Gu────!”

Will be killed!

He will definitely be killed!

  That man will come soon, right?!

Before that──if you don't want to die, you must stand up and fight!

"Buzz—"

The tip of the gun shot out.

Emiya Shirou couldn't even turn around to face the man, and faced the tip of the gun with his body on the verge of collapse.

"Tsk, if you're a man, stand up right there...!" The man complained unhappily as he stabbed the air again.

It was really luck this time.

It was fortunate for Shirou Emiya that he couldn't support himself and his knees buckled.

The spear hit his head and slammed into the warehouse door with such force that the heavy door bounced open.

"what!"

So, this is the last chance.

As long as you go to the warehouse, you will find something that can be used as a weapon!

“Gu────!”

Emiya Shirou crawled into the warehouse using his hands and feet.

  At this time────

"Hey, it's over now!"

Unable to avoid, the fatal gun was fired.

"This---- fellow----!"

blocked.

Emiya Shirou spread out the poster, which was originally in the shape of a stick, and used it as a shield that could only be used once.

"Well……!?"

There was a loud clang of impact.

Can't the hardness of an opened poster be the same as before?

Although it blocked the gun, the poster was pierced through and returned to its original paper.

“Ah, gu…!”

Emiya Shirou was blown away by the impact of the spear and bounced against the wall.

“Ah, wow.”

He sat on the floor and struggled to get up.

Then, when he raised his head to grab something that could be used as a weapon—

"It's over. That just gave me a scare, kid!"

The man in front of him was stabbing with a spear.

"..."

Already, there is no next.

The man's gun was pointed squarely at his heart.

Emiya Shirou knew that the pain he had tasted just a few hours ago, the taste of being mercilessly pushed towards death, was about to come again.

"I really don't understand you. You're quite clever, but you're totally bad at magic. You have talent, but are you too young?"

"..." Emiya Shirou could no longer hear the man's voice.

  His consciousness was only focused on the murder weapon in front of him.

Of course.

Because, as soon as that stabs out, you will die.

So everything else is superfluous. Now that things have come to this, what else is there to think about?

"Although I don't think so, you might be the seventh person. Never mind, even if that's the case, it's over now."

The man muttered to himself and started.

The movement that he had never seen before now looked like slow motion in Emiya Shirou's eyes. The silver light was running fast.

Like the tip of a gun being sucked into his heart.

  Will blood spurt out in a second?

He knows.

The feeling of steel piercing the body.

And the taste of blood rising in my throat.

There is also a feeling that the world is gradually disappearing.

Tried it just a while ago.

...Again? Really?

  I can't understand it. Why did he have to encounter this kind of thing! ?

……joke!

  I cannot accept this. I cannot die meaninglessly here!

He was saved.

Well, since you have been saved, you can't just die so easily!

He must fulfill his obligations while alive; he cannot fulfill his obligations if he dies!

However, the tip of the gun still pierced into the chest...

If the tip of the gun pierces the skin, will it cut through the ribs and pierce the heart?

"!!"

Emiya Shirou felt extremely unwilling and angry.

  It's a joke, it's so easy to kill someone!

It's a joke, he's going to die!

  This is just another joke. Being killed twice in one day, is there such a stupid thing?!

Ahhh really, this is all a joke, then he shouldn't be so scared!!

"Don't be ridiculous, how could I────"

It's meaningless in this way!

By guys like you!!!

Kill him────! ! ! ! !

“Eh—?”

Well, it really is...

"What………!?"

Like magic, it appeared.

In the dazzling light, a figure appeared behind Emiya Shirou!

Emiya Shirou was unable to think, and could only conclude that the person who appeared was a girl.

With a clang sound.

As soon as the figure appeared, he deflected the gun that was intended to pierce his chest and moved forward towards the man without hesitation.

“────Is this really the seventh Servant…!?”

The man who held up the deflected spear looked at the girl waving "something" in her hand in surprise.

Sparks burst again.

The sword flashed.

After being hit by the girl who just appeared, the man with the spear took a few steps back.

“Gu────!”

  Knowing his disadvantages, the man flew out of the warehouse with the agility of a wild beast.

After forcing the man back, the girl slowly turned her head.

Today is a very windy day.

The clouds moved and the moon peeked out for a little while.

The silver moonlight shining into the warehouse illuminates the girl in knight's attire.

"..."

Emiya Shirou was unable to utter a sound.

Not because it happened suddenly and chaotically.

However, because the girl in front of him was too beautiful, he was speechless.

"..."

The girl stared at him emotionlessly with her gem-like eyes.

"Let me ask you. Are you my Master?"

  She said this in a stern voice.

"Eh... Master...?"

Emiya Shirou repeated her question dully.

He didn't know what she was talking about, nor who she was.

All he knew now was that this petite, slender girl was the same as the man outside.

"……………………"

The girl said nothing and just looked at him quietly.

───How can I describe that posture...

The woman in front of him was so special that he forgot that in this situation, the man outside would attack him as soon as he found an opportunity.

It's like only my own time has stopped.

The fear of death that had just filled his body completely disappeared, and now, only the girl was in his sight.

"Servant, swordsman, I come at your call. Master, please give me your instructions."

The girl made a sound for the second time.

The moment this sound reached my ears——

“────Hmm.”

Pain came from my left hand.

It was as painful as being branded with a branding iron.

Emiya Shirou couldn't help but press the back of his left hand.

Is this action a signal? The girl nodded quietly at the cute face.

"From now on, my sword is with you, and your fate is with mine. Here, the contract is complete."

“What, a contract, what────!?”

Emiya Shirou is also a magus, so he can understand what that word means.

But the girl did not answer his question, but turned away with the same grace as when she nodded.

────She was facing the door leading outside.

Outside the door was a man with a rifle.

"────"

No way, it happened earlier than he thought.

The girl in knight's attire jumped out of the warehouse without hesitation.

"!"

Emiya Shirou even forgot about the pain in his body, stood up and chased after the girl.

There's no way that girl can stand up to that guy.

Even though she was dressed dangerously, he thought the girl was younger than him.

“Stop—!”

The sound that Emiya Shirou was about to shout out was silenced by that voice.

“What—”

He doubted his eyes.

This time, my mind was completely blank and I couldn't think of anything.

"What, that guy..."

The sound of weapons clashing echoed.

The moon hid in the clouds and the courtyard returned to its original darkness.

Sparks flew between steel and steel.

The man with the spear attacked the girl who jumped out of the warehouse without saying a word.

The girl swung away the spear with one blow, and then deflected the spears that continued to stab at her, forcing the man to retreat each time.

"────"

Can't believe it.

The girl named Saber did have the upper hand over the man.

───The battle has begun.

The interaction between him and the man just now was not a fight.

A fight is a struggle between people who can deliver a fatal blow to each other.

No matter how big the difference in strength is, as long as there is a way to defeat the opponent, it is called a fight, right?

Even in this sense, the fight between these two people is a battle.

The man's spear, which Emiya Shirou couldn't even identify, continued to thrust at the girl with even more momentum.

The girl used the "something" in her hand to surely deflect the spear and stepped forward with just enough time to spare.

“Tsk—!”

The man made a disgusted sound and stepped back slightly.

He held the gun in his hand straight to protect his flank from being attacked────!

"Gu...!"

In an instant, the man's gun glowed.

It was like a blow from a bomb, that's what it felt like.

At the moment of blocking the "something" swung by the girl, the man's gun glowed as if it was electrified.

That's why, not only that man, even Emiya Shirou could see it.

That is powerful magic that can be seen!

Every blow the girl throws with ease contains incredible magical power!

  That magical power is so powerful that it can penetrate into the opponent's weapon with just a touch!

If you just block something like that, you'll get hit pretty hard, right? (End of this chapter)
