Chapter 4 The Church(1/2)
(I'm back. I'm not allowed to update it because something happened before. As for what happened, I won't say anything. Now I'm starting to update normally. The update time will be around 7 o'clock every night)
"Ah???" Tosaka, who supported his chin with his hands, exclaimed: "You don't even know the five elements."
"Yes," Shirou nodded honestly.
"You are really a complete layman." Tosaka's eyes kept twitching. She had never thought that there would be a magician who didn't know the basics of magic.
"No, I will also have some enhanced magic." Seeing Tosaka's appearance, Shiro retorted angrily. Because Tosaka said it as if the disciples taught by Kiritsugu were an idiot.
"Uh..." It seemed that he choked, and Tosaka sighed: "Isn't that the same? Isn't it the same? Isn't it possible for anything else?"
"One more," Shirou said: "Projection."
After a moment of silence, Tosaka rolled his eyes, glared at Shirou, and sighed weakly: "Why can such a guy call out saber?"
The indescribable desolation in the words.
Hello, there is no need to be so mean. Shirou looked at Tosaka and thought about it very dissatisfiedly.
After pausing, Tosakado: "So, do you know what kind of situation you are in now?"
"Yeah," Shirou nodded: "The seven Servants and seven masters fought each other to fight for the Holy Grail."
"Isn't it totally ignorant yet?" Tosaka smiled and looked at Shirou, then raised his face and said seriously: "But I want to correct you a little."
"Correct?" Shirou was stunned for a moment. Isn't that the case? Or is there any important shortcomings in the future he foresees.
"It's not a battle, it's a war," Tosaka said sternly: "Although only seven people say it's not suitable for war, it's a different matter if it's a magician. Magicians from different factions kill each other because of their own desires, in order to be able to compete for the vessel containing the blood of gods."
"Listen," Tosaka looked at Shirou's eyes: "If you fight one-on-one and don't kill the other, it is called a battle. The seven magicians fight each other, and at all costs, they aim to kill the opponent and fight each other, it is called a war."
Shirou's spine rose...goose bumps, uh, just listening to Tosaka's words, he didn't feel anything, but he was stunned by Tosaka's appearance as if he was very expert.
Seeing Shirou's appearance, Tosaka smiled secretly, and on the surface she deliberately showed a scary and gloomy smile, and said in a voice: "Now, you are also on this battlefield."
But it seemed that there was no effect. Shirou just blinked his eyes and had no reaction, which disappointed Tosaka.
"It seems that you just know the general situation, but you don't understand the meaning." He put away his gloomy smile and Tosaka said: "Are you going to participate in this Holy Grail War?"
"Join," Shirou said.
“…”
After a few seconds of silence, Tosaka suddenly yelled: "This is not a spring outing for elementary school students, don't say it so casually."
Shirou felt a roar in his ears...
"Listen, I'll only say the relevant things once." Tosaka angrily raised a finger and showed the number of times he wanted to explain: "Messenger Emiya, you have been selected as a master now and are in the Holy Grail War. The proof is that there is a holy mark on one of your hands, right? It's like on the back of your hand or on the wrist, yes, it's the red tattoo on the back of your hand, that's that. Although there will be a certain difference in position for everyone, there will be three spells on it. That's the proof of being a master."
Shirou didn't say anything, but just looked down at the back of his hand with a complicated pattern as if it was a tattoo.
"Yes. That is also a mantra that restricts the follower, so you should cherish it. The mantra is called a mantra, and as long as it is present, the mantra can be obedient. Because the mantra represents absolute command rights. The mantra that engraved can change the will of the server and make it absolutely obedient to the command. To start a mantra without a mantra, as long as you have the idea of using the mantra, it will be activated." Tosaka said this, waved his hand indifferently: "However, judging from the situation just now, you also know what it is for."
"Yes," Shirou nodded, suddenly feeling a gaze behind him staring at his back, Shirou immediately grinned bitterly.
Saber is still angry because he just used a spell to stop her...
"Also, the order curse can only be used three times. If the order curse is gone, classmate Umiya, you have to be careful. After losing the order curse, the master may be killed by the servant." Tosaka looked at Shiro with a wicked smile: "Save it out."
"You don't have to worry about this," Shirou said with confidence. Shirou was still very relieved about Saber.
He touched the curse on the back of his left hand with his hand, and Shirou couldn't help but look back at Saber... and was frightened by the majestic gaze.
How come Saber's eyes are so cunning?
"Master, Rin is right. Please remember that if you use all the spells, your contract with me will be destroyed." Saber said seriously, because the appearance of the master in front of her really worried her.
Shirou scratched his head and smiled bitterly.
Tosaka also looked at Saber, who had not made any noise since entering the door.
"It seems that you are in an incomplete state, right? Saber. No wonder, after all, he was summoned by a half-toned master without knowledge." He walked to Saber and looked carefully, aiming as if he was appreciating precious and beautiful works of art. Then Tosaka felt a little regretful. And somehow, Tosaka spoke with a tone of advice when he was talking to Shirou, and when facing Saber, he became much gentler.
"You are right. I am not in a perfect state now. Since Shirou does not have the magic power that can make me physical, it is difficult to change back to the state of a spirit body or restore the magic power." Facing Tosaka's inquiry, Saber admitted without hesitation.
"Ah, it's really surprising. I didn't expect it to be so miserable, but what's even more unexpected is that you would say it so happily." Tosaka was a little surprised. She was thinking about how to get saber's words. After all, although she looked cute, Tosaka already knew that she was the old-fashioned knight type, so it shouldn't be difficult to make a cliché. But she didn't expect that now she took the initiative to hand over the foundation.
"Although this is not my original intention, it can't be hidden from your eyes. So it's meaningless to hide my current details. It would be better to tell you directly, and it would be better to let Shirou understand the current situation more," Saber said calmly.
As if he was very sad for Saber, Tosaka closed his eyes sadly and turned his back.
"If I were your master, the two questions you mentioned would not have happened at all." Tosaka clenched his fists regretfully: "Woo... really, if there was no such accident... as long as I was the master of Saber, would this kind of war be the same as winning?"
Tosaka was angry.
Moreover, both of them are extremely beautiful girls. When the two of them were looking at each other, Shirou, who was watching the side, didn't know whether the scene was cute or weird. Well, especially because they were wearing heavy and gorgeous armor and the other wearing modern clothes, this feeling was even more unreasonable.
But when Shirou saw Tosaka's appearance at this time, he couldn't help but get angry. What was she doing? Was she sowing the disagreement in front of her?
Well, if anyone is talking about it in person, I'm afraid he'll be angry.
"Hey, Tonsaka, I don't need to say that I seem to be very unworthy," Shirou said dissatisfied.
"Or what do you think, you stupid guy and fleshy feet." Tosaka gave Shiro a blank look.
"Um..." Shirou was so upset by this sentence. He didn't expect that Tosaka would actually say something that people with a little conscience would be difficult to speak, and he could still disagree with it after saying it.
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" Tosaka asked with a glaring look at Shirou.
And... forget it.
In Shirou's heart, the image of a model student established by Tosaka in the school is now collapsing, moving closer to the image of a female fox that she sees in the future.
It is truly worthy of 10%. It seems that Buddhist practice can really make people have the wise vision to see through people's true face.
"No, Shirou is an excellent master." Suddenly, Saber spoke: "Although it may not be excellent in magic, it is very superior in judgment of the situation of the battle. In war, a judgment sometimes determines the success or failure of a battle."
"ah?"
Tosaka blinked in confusion, looked at Saber, and then looked at Shirou again. In the end, she still couldn't understand what Saber meant just now. Shirou, who was on the side, became a little uncomfortable.
She wasn't saying... Shirou's mind flashed through his admiration in the yard just now, and he said something like "What an amazing judgment".
Well, she was indeed misunderstood.
"Okay. It's almost time to leave after it's been cleared." Suddenly, as if he was very angry, Tosaka said something inexplicably.
"Go? Where to go?" Shirou was puzzled.
"Take you to meet the person responsible for supervising the 'Holy Grail War'. Emiya classmate, after seeing him, you will decide whether you want to participate in the Holy Grail War." Tosaka showed a strange smile.
Shirou wanted to nod, but when he saw the smile, he changed his mouth temporarily: "Of course. But where is that? Ah, it's already past one o'clock in the morning. Tosaka, you know, why don't you tell me, after all, if the place is too far away..."
"Don't worry, it's just in the city next door. If you're faster, you can come back before dawn. It's Sunday, and it doesn't matter if you stay up late." Tosaka quickly interrupted him, and the smile on his face deepened.
"No, it's not that problem..."
"Then let's go." Tosaka pointed at the door outside the window with great momentum.
Shirou was silent for several seconds, then sighed and said something he had been interrupted by Tosaka since the beginning: "Yes, yes, but can you let me have a meal first?"
The scene suddenly froze.
Maybe they were all shocked by Shirou's words. Neither Tosaka nor Saber spoke, but just stared at him blankly.
"No, that's it," Shirou quickly explained: "I haven't had dinner yet. After all, I was chased by lancer at night and I haven't had time to eat, so I have never had time to eat."
silence.
silence.
silence.
Tosaka suddenly sighed to the sky, then covered her forehead.
"Saber, you have to be careful in the future," she said.
Ah, I am happy, angry, smiling, glaring, and sighing. I always feel that it is very similar to a creature in some mythology and legend. What is it?
Shirou put the rice he had previously heated into the pot and thought about it.
Well, the Thousand-faced Fox.
However, it seems that it is not good to just eat by yourself. Shirou suddenly stopped moving and thought about it.
"By the way," he walked out and asked, "Does anyone want to have a midnight snack?"
“…”
Finally, the three of them walked on the way to Linzhen.
Shirou never thought that he would be outside at around 2 o'clock in the evening. At this moment, he couldn't help but worry that it would be bad if he was caught by the curfew police.
"...Hey, it's not the first time you've been called out in this world, it's true or false..." The exclamation from behind him came from behind - that guy, who had been chattering with Saber since he left the door, chirping and chatting with Saber for a while, as if she and Saber were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
Although Saber basically didn't reply, Tosaka kept talking.
Although Shirou was also very surprised at the content of her conversation with Saber, more importantly, Shirou felt that Tosaka's mood was a little wrong. It was obviously around two o'clock at night, but she seemed very excited... By the way, she wouldn't often go out to wander around without sleeping at night.
Thinking of this, Shirou felt it was very likely, so he kindly wanted to remind her: "Hey, Tosaka, do you often don't sleep at night and come out... uh, take a walk?"
"?" Tosaka raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say?"
"It's not good for girls to walk out in the middle of the night. After all, it's been very unfair recently. If there is any danger, it's not good," Shirou said carefully.
To be continued...
