The gods descend into reality

Judging from this point of view, the Holy Grail is indeed not worth fighting for, and naturally no Servant would risk their life in the Holy Grail War.

Of course, the most important thing is...

Our master is here.

Even if it were to be a fight, there would be no one who could be a match for our team!

"Cú Chulainn?!"

Even the usually aloof Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but widen her eyes at this moment.

For those unfamiliar with Celtic mythology, the meaning of this name might not be clear, but for a magician like Rin Tohsaka, it's a name that's practically legendary.

Its legendary status is no less than that of King Arthur.

"If that's the case, then your master wouldn't be—"

Ilya looked at Scáthach and interjected.

However, his pupils suddenly contracted, clearly from shock.

"That's right, my real name is actually Scáthach. It's been many years since I've been to the inner world."

Scáthach stretched, revealing her beautiful figure, but apart from Xiao Se and the others, Rin Tohsaka and Illya couldn't bring themselves to laugh.

Scáthach~

This person is completely different from the Servant, because this person is not dead at all!

To see Scáthach is like meeting a legendary deity.

Whether it's the Holy Grail War or anything else, if this person is involved, it's probably meaningless no matter what kind of Servant you summon or what kind of advantage you create.

Because the opponent could completely destroy the Holy Grail War in a single night!

It seems that someone like him really has no reason to lie to himself and his group.

"Hmm~ That's right, why would we lie? But Big Dog, you look really strange right now?"

Nero looked at Cú Chulainn with a puzzled expression.

You see, Cú Chulainn wasn't like this before. While he was incredibly timid around Scáthach, he mostly chose to stay away. But now—

This guy is just shamelessly sticking to our group, it's so strange.

"Haha~ What's so strange about it? I just want to stay by my master's side and listen to his teachings."

Cú Chulainn laughed, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

Speaking of which—

Do you want me to tell you that I, a dignified heroic spirit, actually encountered such a ridiculous thing as the Grim Reaper's arrival? The key is that I can't even find the reason myself. However, after following Xiao Se and the others...

Surprisingly, there were no unexpected incidents at all.

This further solidified Cú Chulainn's and Xiao Se's ideas.

"Even more suspicious!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a tone that said, "I already know the truth."

"Hey kid, you can't talk nonsense, Mi—"

"Bang~"

Scáthach raised her foot, and Cú Chulainn, who was about to bark, was sent flying.

"Alright, I think we should go check on your companion."

Xiao Se looked at Emiya Shirou and said.

"Wait, I think we can wait a little longer."

Gilgamesh offered his advice.

Immediately, Xiao Se and the others looked at Gilgamesh with disbelief. His coat was torn to shreds—that was too ruthless!

At this very moment, Shirou Emiya is caught in a moral dilemma.

The magic within him began to surge, and he gripped a gold coin tightly in his hand.

His face was full of conflicted expression.

Should I really follow Rin Tohsaka's suggestion to myself?

Chapter 291 The First Meeting of Red and Blue Sabers

I think I've known Rin Tohsaka for a long time.

Of course, this has been the case for a long time, where you know the other person, but the other person doesn't know you.

After all, Rin Tohsaka is a very popular figure in the school; it would be strange if someone in the school didn't know her.

In fact, if I hadn't accidentally witnessed the battle between Servants that night, I might never have crossed paths with them in my entire life.

After knowing each other for two or three days, we became quite familiar with each other.

Although it had only been two or three days of contact, the woman's image in his mind had completely changed.

Normally, in front of everyone, this woman gives people the impression of a young lady from a prominent family. Whether in her actions or speech, she exudes a very cultured and elegant aura.

However, in the few days since I met him, the only feeling I have is—

poverty!

That's right. Being from a prestigious family gave me the feeling of being very poor. At one point, I even thought I was hallucinating.

However, after learning about the other person's magic trick, I finally understood the reason.

Gemstone Magic.

Precious gems are used to preserve magic or spells, so that during battle, one can simply throw the gems to activate the engraving without chanting or other means.

Yes, once the engraving is activated, the gem becomes useless.

This kind of money-wasting magic trick would never be enough, no matter how much wealth one has.

Once, Rin Tohsaka came to him immediately after hearing that he was using projection magic.

He plans to use projection magic to project antiques, then use his connections to sell them, and after that, he'll find the next buyer.

Look at this, look at this, is this even human?

Did he immediately and without hesitation refuse?

I, Shirou Emiya, am someone who aspires to be a champion of justice. How could I possibly be that kind of person?!

But now—

He was caught in a dilemma by the words of this woman who seemed like a devil, clutching the gold coins projected by magic tightly in his hand.

Although the clothes were torn, they were indeed reinforced; that much is true.

That powerful feeling that comes from within.

Even though I've always considered myself a pacifist, I can't help but enjoy it a little.

That's just how people are sometimes.

Jack Ma has no interest in money, yet he still makes money.

How can you make a movie if you don't have money?

How can you make music if you don't have money?

Do you think being rich and powerful is a joke?

Therefore, it is still very necessary to become stronger. If you happen to get a +30 artifact, even if it's just underwear, you can just wear your underwear inside out and conquer the Holy Grail War overnight!

What does it matter if I deceive this woman in front of me just to become stronger?!

Emiya Shirou glanced at Kelly with a flicker in his eyes.

Deep down, it felt like a horned demon was constantly telling me to deceive Kelly.

After all, as long as their plan succeeds.

In doing so, one becomes a partner of justice.

Then we can save even more people!

All he had to do was deceive the woman in front of him who was doing business in the open, amidst the ruins.

but--

I can't do it~

Suddenly, the tightly closed magic seal that had already materialized in his hand instantly dissipated into the purest magic power into the air, and tears of regret appeared in Shirou Emiya's eyes.

If becoming a partner of justice requires such deceptive means, then...

Then I won't be able to have peace of mind no matter what I do in the future!

"I'm sorry, I'm out of money."

Emiya Shirou lowered his head and said dejectedly.

Not only are they out of money, but their shirts and some small items are also broken. If they continue to upgrade, they might have to take their pants off.

Most importantly, I really have no money left.

If Saber ate up half a year's allowance, leaving him to live on tea and rice for the next six months...

So he spent at least three years' worth of pocket money on Kerry.

That means for at least the next three and a half years, I'll be eating nothing but tea-soaked rice.

hiss~

Thinking of this, Shirou Emiya's pupils shrank. He had been so focused on how to strengthen himself that he had unknowingly spent so much money.

How terrifying!

"Tch~ Poor bastard."

"what?"

Emiya Shirou, who was mourning his impending days of suffering, paused, wondering if he had misheard something.
