Abnormal Moon

Roy refused without even thinking.

"I've been waiting here for three years, all for this moment. There's absolutely no reason for me to back down now that the time is right!"

His words were so resolute that they surpassed Kasumigaoka Utaha's imagination.

They were even stubbornly determined.

I'm afraid no one can persuade him to change his mind.

Kasumigaoka Utaha has this feeling.

"If you are unable to return to your own world in the future, and I die, then consider this place your final resting place."

Roy then suddenly smiled.

Her laughter was like the warm sun dispelling the winter chill, sweeping away the oppressive atmosphere on the table.

"Life is a journey of constantly searching for different destinations. If you feel lost, start by adapting to this place."

"You two can rest assured, we will protect our Master!"

Ms. Okita took advantage of the atmosphere and flashed a bright smile.

"I, Okita-san, will absolutely protect my Master. If you want my Master's life, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha fell silent.

Given her status, it's unlikely that anything she says will change Roy's mind.

All she could do was help him guard the mansion.

as well as.

"Lord Roy, I wish you a safe return."

"I accept your good words."

After dinner.

Roy went to take a shower.

Hayasaka Ai and Kasumigaoka Utaha cleared the dishes.

For a while.

Hayasaka Ai suddenly slammed her hand on the tile.

Under Kasumigaoka Utaha's shocked gaze, she roared.

"How could Okita Souji be a girl!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha paused to think for a moment.

Come back to your senses.

Very shocked.

…………

When Roy came out of the bathroom, it was already completely dark.

"Lord Roy."

Hayasaka Ai, as if she had been waiting for a long time, called out to Roy at the bathroom door.

"Wow, you scared me!"

Roy jolted awake and gave her a speechless look.

Hayasaka Ai, you're so skilled, does your Rin-sama know that?

"terribly sorry."

"It's nothing. Is there something you need?"

"I wanted to ask, will Lady Rin also participate in this Holy Grail War?"

A deep worry appeared in Hayasaka Ai's eyes.

With Roy and those two sisters of extraordinary status in the Aozaki family, even if Roy were to die, with his dying wish that the Aozaki sisters take care of Kasumigaoka Utaha, she could still live a good life.

But Hayasaka Ai was different.

Rin Tohsaka is now the only remaining member of the Tohsaka family.

If Rin Tohsaka dies in the Holy Grail War, what will become of Ai Hayasaka as a refugee?

Although she felt very sorry for Rin Tohsaka, Ai Hayasaka's first thought was still about her own survival.

Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but shudder at the thought of what she had learned about Aki Tomoya's ordeal.

She was well aware of her natural beauty, and if Rin Tohsaka, her protector, were to disappear, she would most likely be targeted by magicians.

At that time, no matter how skilled she is, she will never escape the magician's clutches!

Finding another kind-hearted magician like Roy or Rin Tohsaka to act as a protector is not that easy.

"Rin will also be participating."

Roy nodded.

"Tohsaka and I have formed an alliance. We will act together in this Holy Grail War. She will come here to join us afterward. If you have anything to say, you can tell her then."

"I understand, thank you very much."

Hayasaka Ai nodded knowingly and silently withdrew.

"Speaking of which, where are the oranges?"

Roy looked around, but he couldn't see Orange anywhere since dinner.

"Lord Orange has already left."

"what?!"

Roy was taken aback.

He didn't even have time to change his clothes before rushing to the bedroom.

Roy rummaged through the bedroom drawers and cabinets, his face turning ashen.

"Lord Roy, what happened?"

Hayasaka Ai followed him to the bedroom door and, seeing his terrible expression, asked him in fear.

Could it be that the enemy has come knocking on our door?

As a result, she saw Roy holding up an empty cloth bag.

"deposit!"

"My savings are gone again! Six months' worth of savings! She stole them all!"

"Hayasaka, we'll have to tighten our belts for the next few days!"

"……Aha?"

Hayasaka Ai stood there stunned for a while before uttering some incomprehensible syllables.

The wealthy Hayasaka Ai couldn't understand.

Why should a magician, a man of stature, have to worry about money?

Chapter 36 The Twisted Lancer

After taking a bath, Roy changed into some light clothes, put on a long black trench coat, kept the paper with runes on it close to his body, and went to the front yard fully armed to wait for Rin Tohsaka to come and meet him.

Because Hayasaka Ai was at her own home, the two agreed to meet at Aozaki's house.

Then we went together to hunt corrupted Servants outside the city.

but.

"Master!"

Okita Souji suddenly materialized and appeared next to Roy, his face full of seriousness.

"A follower is approaching!"

"I feel it now."

"Could it be Tohsaka-san's Servant?"

"Not quite like it."

Roy shook his head, his expression sharp.

"This magical power has a twisted feel to it, and it's filled with resentment. It doesn't seem like the kind of Servant that someone as upright as Rin Tohsaka would summon. Saber, go outside the mansion and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Okita Souji vanished in an instant.

Roy also started walking towards the courtyard gate.
