"Let me scrub your back."

"Um..." Shirou Emiya, sensing something was amiss, swallowed hard. This situation seemed a bit off!

"Don't you like it?" Seemingly noticing Shirou Emiya's hesitation, August pressed on with some doubt.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle," the slightly philosophical back-rubbing Shirou Emiya couldn't escape it after all, accompanied by a sound that was hard to tell whether it was sandpaper or steel wool rubbing together.

"It hurts..." Shirou Emiya displayed an extremely expressive face, his eyes filled with despair while also preparing to isolate himself from the world.

"Sera: Either the gas in this bathhouse exploded, or there's a torpedo in it!"

"Hahaha, Shirou Emiya's facial expressions are just too much. The somewhat tense atmosphere is filled with a sense of freedom."

Hearing the sound that was hard to tell whether it was sandpaper or steel wool, everyone was a little frightened. Was this scrubbing really that hardcore? Wouldn't that peel off a layer of skin?

Type-Moon Fifth World War

"Do you guys usually use sandpaper to scrub your backs when you take a bath?" Rin Tohsaka's face turned slightly red as she began to have inappropriate thoughts.

I'd heard that most boys just rinse off when they shower, but I never expected them to be so serious about it.

The sound is clearly the sound of sandpaper; if you don't know better, you'd think someone was sharpening a knife while taking a shower!

"Pfft... Hahaha, that's right, that's how hardcore we guys are when we take a shower!" Cú Chulainn laughed heartily and put his arm around Shirou Emiya's neck, looking like best buddies.

"Of course, it would be even better if there were steel wool balls with nails on them; Shirou loves that the most!"

"Don't make up some non-existent memories for me, you bastard!" Red A's lips twitched. A steel wool ball with nails? Do you want me to scrub it for you?

"..." Shirou Emiya glanced speechlessly at Cú Chulainn's hand on his shoulder. Seriously, are we that close?

P.S.: I had a fever yesterday and slept a lot all day, feeling groggy. I'm much better today and will make up for the missed taxi rides.

Chapter 698 The promise that the great hero failed to keep, Little Black has fulfilled!

[In contrast to the increasingly eerie atmosphere of the men's bathhouse, Sera and Lyselle also left, replaced by Rin Tohsaka and Luvia.]

"We weren't exposed, were we?"

[Ilya seemed a little guilty about this: "It was extremely dangerous, but I managed to get away with it... I guess... I got through it."]

"That was a huge miscalculation. I never expected you to use your full power in this situation..." Xiao Hei, with a large bump on his head, muttered weakly.

"Hey Kuro, it's time you confess everything you know!" Rin Tohsaka turned everyone's attention to the important matter at hand.

Hearing this, Xiao Hei sighed with some regret: "Teachers don't like students who want to know the answer right away."

"Trying to get away with being cute... With such terrible acting skills, who else can you fool besides yourself!"

"So the saying that water is a safe zone is true. Ilya's all-out attack only resulted in a big bump on Little Black's head, but he's fine now!"

Goodness, its damage immunity in water is almost on par with the Knights' Barracks next door!

As we all know, Kamen Riders are insoluble in water, which leads us to conclude that "583" Kuro's class is not Archer, but Kamen Rider Saber!

Seeing that Kuro showed no intention of being honest, Rin Tohsaka didn't press the matter further. After all, the focus wasn't on Kuro, but on the disappearance of the Archer card!

"The method of using that card is something not only I haven't mastered, but even the Mage's Association hasn't grasped it yet... How did you manage to do it?"

Ilya couldn't quite explain it for a moment, as the feeling was strange: "When I'm at my wit's end, when I have this strong urge to find a solution, the solution naturally comes to mind."

"When I came to my senses, it had become like that..."

"Speaking is pointless!!" Hearing this somewhat mystical explanation, Luvia couldn't sit still.

Rin Tohsaka, unusually calm, analyzed the various possibilities. She was now beginning to have a guess: "As I said before, you can treat Class Cards as a kind of summoning device."

"Using high-ranking armor and formal attire as a medium, one can materialize Noble Phantasms, which are a portion of the power of Heroic Spirits. However... you summoned the power of Heroic Spirits using yourself as the medium!"

Although many things are still unclear, Rin Tohsaka is now certain that the key figure is likely none other than the still clueless Illya.

“Ilya, what do you want to do? Our ultimate goal is to bring all the cards back to the Association. Tell us your wish.”

"A wish?" Ilya was puzzled by the sudden shift in topic, but she still softly expressed her current wish: "I just hope... to be able to go back to my old life, right?"

When Ilya expressed her desire to return to a peaceful life, the others fell silent.

"I, Illya, have only one dream: to live a peaceful life. And that dream is for you, Yoshikage Kira!"

Hearing Ilya's simple and unpretentious wish, everyone felt quite sad. It's not wrong for her to think that way, after all, who wants to get involved in this kind of thing!

However, this unintentional remark hurt everyone present! The last person to say something like that was Saber.

Type-Moon Fifth World War

"I have to say Rin is really smart, to be able to guess to this extent, but..." Illya's expression suddenly became somewhat conflicted.

As the Lesser Grail, it seems a bit against the natural order for me to be asked about my wish for the first time by someone else!

Aside from being full of flaws, how should I put it? It's quite strange.

Artoria shook her head: "Ilya's unintentional words have hurt several people's feelings."

Having already learned from past mistakes, Saber naturally knows that denying the present means disregarding all past experiences. What are you expecting Miyu and the others to think?

"Let her be sad, you know how afraid I am that she'll blurt out, 'My wish is to be a champion of justice!'" Red A was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Xiao Hei still doesn't understand what kind of special existence she is, there is no doubt that she has her own spirit origin. In addition, given her subtle relationship with Ilya, it's not impossible!

Grand Carnival World

"If Rin summons Heroic Spirits using herself as a medium... could she summon Ishtar and Ereshkigal?!" Gudako suddenly remembered Rin's generic face.

Given their special relationship, if Rin were to use herself as a medium to obtain the Archer Card, she might very well be able to summon Ishtar...

As the one who always delivers the witty remarks, Mash once again dutifully quipped, "Maybe it'll still be Emiya Shirou that's summoned, after all, she's the legendary widow."

Gudako was startled by this, and frowned slightly: "That is indeed very possible!"

As for Ilya's mystical explanation, to put it another way, it's quite easy to understand... I don't know how I did it, because I was using my brother's account!

As for Rin logging in, given her relationship with Shirou Emiya, he probably wouldn't hesitate to reveal her account password and log in from a different location!

"..." Give me a piece of your mind, senior! I just said it casually, why did you take it so seriously!

"Smack—" Xiao Hei, who had been silent all along, suddenly slammed the towel in his hand hard against the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"I don't understand at all. Could you please refrain from jumping to conclusions?"

Everyone was startled by Xiao Hei's sudden action, and they all stood up abruptly, looking at him warily.

"Ilya, do you know what you've said? What do you mean by 'the original life'? Would I have existed in the original life?"

[Xiao Hei seemed to have reverted to the clean and efficient style he had when he first appeared, exuding a murderous aura while also appearing so forlorn.]

[Rin Tohsaka explained, "Don't rush, Kuro! This isn't about deciding what to do with you..."] (Read exciting novels on Feilu Novel Network!)

"Liar! What are your wishes? Isn't it just the card?" Little Black silently touched his chest: "The card is right here!"

"This farce is over. No matter what, it seems I have no future. Since that's the case, I might as well go back to where I started and begin again..."

"You and I are enemies, not friends!" Little Black donned Red A's classic outfit once more, coldly drawing his bow with both hands, and activating the pseudo-spiral sword again.

"boom--"】

The enormous explosion resounded throughout the area, and a huge crater appeared above the bathhouse, successfully turning it into an open-air hot spring.

"Seriously, it seems like we're really going back to square one!" Ilya clutched her head in frustration, feeling like she was about to return to her daily routine of worrying about being assassinated.

[And the black boy, having left Luvia's house, had nowhere to go, sitting alone on the rocks by the sea.]

"Putting a nuclear missile in the bathroom... Do you guys have a grudge against bathrooms? I wonder where you'll shower tomorrow!"

"Going back to my old life... there's no Kuro, no Rin, no Luvia, no Ruby, and no Miyu!"

Seeing the enraged Xiao Hei, everyone could only say that Ilya had really stepped on a landmine with perfect precision, hurting everyone present with just one sentence!

Academy City World

"What was your original life like? Fuyuki City, a nuclear-prone city where gas explodes every day?" Misaka Mikoto also felt that Ilya seemed to have gone a bit too far.

"Do they even realize what what they just said means to Xiao Hei?"

Want to return to your peaceful life? Want to collect all seven cards? That means you have to eliminate Xiao Hei and step over her corpse!

This isn't about deciding what to do with you... Shouldn't you two unreliable adults take a look at what you've said?!

From Xiao Hei's perspective, what's the difference between what he's being said now and a death sentence? ...There is a difference, though; is it a suspended death sentence?

Seeing the somewhat forlorn Kuro, Mikoto felt a pang of sympathy... It's one thing for Illya, who's only in elementary school age, to be so clueless, but how can you two adults be so immature?!

The next day, when Ilya arrived at school, she stared at the empty table next to her (5.0) and froze.

"As expected, he didn't come to school. Is he plotting to assassinate me again?"

Ilya remained on high alert all day, constantly worried that the previous misfortune would repeat itself.

After school, Miyu stared somewhat stiffly at the letter in the shoe locker, then told Illya to go home first, while she headed to the location indicated in the letter.

"It's so close... How magnificent!" Having passed through the forest and gazing at the azure sea, Miyu couldn't help but be somewhat mesmerized.

"Your reaction is just like seeing the ocean for the first time, Miyu!" Kuro also appeared and didn't forget to greet her.

"I knew it! The enemy is on the other side of the sea. Look, Little Black has come out!"

"Since the black character is on Shirou Emiya's account, does that mean Shirou Emiya went to the beach with Mei Yao?"

"The only time the hero broke his promise... Oh no, I forgot about our promise to take her to the beach!"
