It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

The effect was obvious, and the contract between Toosaka Rin and Archer was immediately revoked.

Compared to the severe pain from having the Command Seals taken away from her hands, Toosaka Rin's astonishment was even greater than this:

"Archer...?"

Illya, who was watching from the platform, was also obviously surprised. She didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly. But in just a breath, she put on a playful smile:

"Archer, you clearly rejected my request before, but now you are offering it to me?"

"Because the situation has changed. Since Saber is in your camp, it is only natural for me to be on the side that can win."

Archer said as a matter of course.

"Archer, you..."

Toosaka Rin's eyes were still filled with shock, and a little anger of betrayal.

"Well, Tousaka family, this time it's your defeat~"

Illya said briskly as Assassin approached silently, ready to finish off Toosaka Rin.

This time, Assassin did not swing the blade at high speed. He just raised the sword slowly, like a kaishakunin, trying to end the pain of the girl kneeling on the ground with one blow.

"Tousaka!"

Shirou Emiya, who had been hiding near the castle and watching, finally couldn't help it and rushed in.

Assassin didn't care much about the arrival of Shirou Emiya. With such low combat power, he could not pose any threat to her.

"Trace On!"

Perhaps it was a flash of inspiration when he was in danger, and Emiya Shirou actually broke through the previous obstacles at this moment, projecting a black and white double blade similar to Archer's, barely blocking Assassin's sword.

But that was all. The Servant's attack was not something that ordinary people could easily block. Although Assassin's careless sword attack was blocked, the black and white double blades constructed by Emiya Shirou were easily cut off. The whole person flew backwards due to the recoil and collided with Toosaka Rin.

"Shirou? I didn't expect you to get involved, but the result is still unchangeable~"

The arrival of Shirou Emiya gave Illya another small surprise, but that was all.

"Ilyasviel, I want to add one more condition."

Archer suddenly spoke.

"Oh, what are the conditions?"

Illya asked with interest.

"After all, I have taken the initiative to surrender to you. As a price, please let them go. After all, two Masters without Servants can't cause any trouble."

Chapter 155 Shirou and Rin

"Hehe, I didn't expect that, Archer. Compared to your actions, your thoughts are quite naive~"

Illya's sweet laughter rang out.

"It can't be helped. As a Heroic Spirit, I wouldn't be able to bear to kill the original owner who is still grieving."

Archer spread his hands.

"Then do as you say, Archer. I'll let you go this time, but if you step into this castle again next time, I'll treat it as if you're willing to die~"

Illya waved her hand gently, and Assassin sheathed his blade and disappeared.

"Let's go, there's really nothing we can do now..."

Toosaka Rin stood up and spoke while trying to keep her tone calm.

"If you hate me, then it's your fault, Rin."

Archer said this to the backs of Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou.

"It's just that Illyasviel is a better Master than you. I only follow the strong."

"Yes, but you will definitely regret it. I will never surrender. Sooner or later, I will take you back! By then, even if you apologize, I will not forgive you..."

Toosaka Rin responded without turning her head, biting her lip secretly.

-------------------------------------

The streets of Fuyuki City were shrouded in darkness at night, with only the dim street lights a dozen meters away barely casting a glimmer of light.

On the lonely journey home, there were only Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin, who were like stray dogs, moving one after the other, like two small boats that had lost their direction in the sea.

"Ah...hiss!"

Due to some previous minor injuries, coupled with the forced projection just now, Shirou Emiya's physical injuries became more serious. He couldn't help but cover his arm and groan.

"Don't you care about your body at all? Your old injuries haven't healed yet, and you're still forcing yourself to regenerate? Even in this state, you still keep saying that you're fine. Ah... That's enough. Just give me some peace of mind, please!"

Seeing this, Toosaka Rin stopped, turned around and blamed her, but it was more like worry than blame.

"But Tousaka must be sadder than me,"

Emiya Shirou said seriously,

"So, let's go home first. We can complain as much as we want when we get back...eh?"

Shirou Emiya was halfway through his speech when he suddenly noticed that Toosaka Rin was staring at him in surprise, with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"That, that..."

Emiya Shirou was at a loss as he didn't expect the other party to suddenly burst into tears.

"I can't believe I was made to cry by a boy..."

Toosaka Rin wiped her tears casually, then grabbed Emiya Shirou's hand without saying anything.

"Hey, Toosaka, Toosaka, hand..."

Not knowing where the crying Toosaka Rin would take him, Emiya Shirou panicked and could only let Toosaka Rin drag him.

"Shut up and take responsibility, idiot!"

Toosaka Rin said something meaningless and showed no intention of letting go.

-------------------------------------

On the mountain outside of Fuyuki city, you can also see the stars in the open space.

Under the shining starry sky, Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin were sitting back to back on a large rock.

"Listen, don't look back. If you peek, I'll be really angry!"

Toosaka Rin started talking to herself.

"Maybe what Archer said is right. Maybe no matter what, many things have been solved long ago. I'm not complaining... I always fail at the critical moment. Obviously, those not so important things can be easily handled... But when it comes to important things, I am helpless..."

"Archer's decision to rely on others is not his own fault. Now, he has been forced into a corner just after he said that..."

"…By the way, here, why don't you ask me a question?"

"Oh, then why are you desperate?"

Emiya Shirou asked in response.

"Since Shirou said that, I am even more of a failure..."

"That's just for now,"

Shirou Emiya looked up at the starry sky.

"Tousaka, you don't need to reflect on anything..."

"Why? It has come to this. Isn't it because my approach is wrong?"

"This is just a failure. Tousaka is not wrong... After all, in my eyes, you are dazzling, and I will not regret it. I firmly believe that what I did is right. However, this is just a patchwork of correctness..."

Emiya Shirou gave a slight wry smile.

"But Toosaka, you're the type who, if you regret something, will definitely fight back twice as hard."

"Come to think of it, why are you helping me?"

"because this……"

Emiya Shirou took something out of his pocket.

When Toosaka Rin saw the object, she was surprised:

"Why would this...?"

"Anyway, I'm returning it to you. I have a pendant exactly like this one at home. When I was killed by Lancer at school, I found it next to me when I woke up, so I picked it up and kept it."

Toosaka Rin took the necklace, held it in her hand, and said with some doubt:

"You have the same thing over there?"

Feeling Toosaka Rin's sudden and abnormal silence, Emiya Shirou was a little confused:

"Huh? Did I say anything weird?"

"Oh no, nothing..."

Toosaka Rin looked away and put the necklace away.

This ruby ​​necklace undoubtedly belongs to Rin Toosaka, and there is only one of them. But now there are two... a thought hidden in Rin Toosaka's heart was verified at this moment.

"Anyway, thank you for coming to help me. That really helped me a lot..."

-------------------------------------

Emiya residence.

After a series of battles, Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin made a simple dinner and chatted while eating.

"After that, I also thought about why I joined the war and what I really wanted to do."

Emiya Shirou said seriously.

"Hmm, what next?"

Toosaka Rin agreed while putting food into her mouth.

“Although I was dragged into this in the beginning, it doesn’t matter now… I once admired my comrades in justice, and I have to protect you all. Even if I am no longer a Master, even if I lose Saber, I will continue to fight.”

"Hmm~ I see~"

Toosaka Rin was still eating.

"I say, can you please listen carefully when others are talking?"

Chapter 156 Mastermind

"Um……"

Toosaka Rin swallowed the food in her mouth.

"I'm listening. You mean, compared to your own safety, the fact that someone else is facing death is even more unbearable, is that right? So, no matter how weak you are, you have to keep fighting, right?"

"Yes, that's right..."

Instead, Emiya Shirou's expression was a little surprised.

"What's that expression on your face? Like a squirrel that got candy?"

"No, I thought Toosaka would object."

"Of course, I am against this, but Shirou, you have helped me a lot, and it would be too inhumane for me to complain about it... Besides, I also know that you are the kind of person who will not give up no matter how much I try to stop you..."

"Then we can continue our partnership, right?"

"Well, if I leave you alone, I'll be worried and lose sleep... Actually, even if we act together, you won't be a problem, right~"

"Then, the main enemy at the moment is still Illyasviel. She is also an extremely powerful magus, and she is protected by Assassin and Archer who has defected to her. Plus, it is only a matter of time before Saber is completely controlled..."

After dinner, Toosaka Rin spread out the map and analyzed the current situation.

"Well, if Saber is completely manipulated, then we really have no chance of winning."

“No, in fact, our chances of winning are now so slim that they are almost zero. We also have to consider that Illyasviel and Sakura are only temporarily allied. If we take into account the variables of Sakura and Rider…”
