Chapter 24 Untitled Second Time(2/2)
Tosaka didn't say anything, nor did he turn around, but just turned his eyes slightly and looked at Shirou.
"Since you and Sakura are sisters, why did you say something like an enemy just now? Even if she is a master, how could she say such words?" Shirou walked to Tosaka and shouted loudly.
Why do you still say that kind of words in your own sister?
"Because Sakura is the daughter of the Maki family, she has not been my sister since eleven years ago." Tosaka said indifferently with a look of Shiro's roar.
"You... Then when you know Sakura's affairs and know that she is a master, why are you so nervous and why are you rushing to Sakura's house so quickly?" Shirou asked with a fire.
"I'm not ruthless, but when necessary, I will abandon that emotion." Tosaka shook his head and said briefly: "Your father should have told you that magicians are such a group."
That's right, because magicians often come into contact with magic tricks that may cause their own death at any time, they put their lives on the tip of a knife, often come into contact with death, and often encounter dangers that ordinary people cannot imagine, so most of them are cold-blooded and ruthless people. Shirou knows it and understands it. But the person in front of him, who was the same year as him, could actually say such words...
She actually said that... she should treat her sister as an enemy!!
Shiro's eyes were pounding... I don't know how much emotion it contained when she was talking about it just now, or the casual explanation words now, but such words could be said without hesitation... Shiro felt that he could not bear it.
As for why?
That's because, several years ago, before Kiritsugu died, Shirou had thought about it... Although it was like daydreaming, he had thought about it.
If the disaster ten years ago did not disappear, then I might have a younger brother or younger sister - whether it is a younger brother or younger sister, Shirou feels that he will get along well with him (her) and have a very close relationship, so he will be very happy to be together.
But now Tosaka actually said such words when she knew that Sakura was her sister, which frightened Shirou.
If she was a man, Shirou felt that he would beat her hard without hesitation, just like he beat Shinji back then... It would be even more harsh.
"For my alliance, I think I should explain my personality clearly, otherwise in the subsequent battle, if emotional troubles arise, it will be over." Tosaka looked at Shirou coldly: "How about it, you can still consider whether to cooperate with me now."
Shirou didn't speak, and his eyes drooped - he was a little shaken.
Indeed, Tosaka is not an evil person and will not do evil things, but if someone is in front of her, she may kill her without hesitation.
That's too different from your own ideas. What I want is to convince all masters as much as possible to not engage in Holy Grail Wars, something that only idiots who seem to be off-line would do.
But Tosaka is different. She is determined to get the Holy Grail. Although she doesn't know what her reason is, her approach is completely different from Shirou. Her cooperative relationship with her will sooner or later break down. Since that's the case, why bother now?
Tosaka was waiting for Shirou's answer.
Shirou finally raised his head, took a deep breath, looked at Tosaka, and became calm.
"Anyway, do you see Sakura as your enemy?" Shirou asked.
"As long as she is still a master," Tosaka said.
In other words, as long as Sakura gives up the spell...
At this moment, the sound of crisp footsteps sounded from the darkness of the church.
Shirou and Tosaka turned their heads and saw a creepy scene.
A priest's head floated out of the darkness, expressionless... No, it was because a priest in black walked out of the depths of the church. Because his black clothes made his figure merge into the darkness, it seemed that only one head came out of the darkness.
Shirou looked at the scene and couldn't help swallowing his saliva-the visual impact was too great.
"Yan Feng, Ying she..."
"Kirei, Sakura..."
Shirou stopped and his expression became strange. He looked at Tosaka, but found that he seemed to have done something wrong and was stared at Tosaka.
"Oh, it's really a breath." The priest looked at the two with a funny expression: "The relationship looks good. I have always worried that my disciples will become people who have nothing but magic. Well, now it seems that there are still one or two close friends, ah, I feel relieved."
Um...
Shirou felt that he might have thought it wrong before. Tosaka didn't like that priest, maybe it was not because he was gloomy, but because... it was not the time to think about it.
Shaking his head hard, Shirou quickly asked the priest: "Well, how is Sakura?"
"Tell me as you go," the priest said, turning around and walking inside: "That little girl wants to see you."
"Ah, Sakura woke up," Shirou said in surprise.
"Um."
Tosaka hurriedly followed.
Shirou looked at Saber, and wanted her to go with her and asked the priest to help him see Saber's situation, but Saber said, "I'll wait here for a standby."
Shirou felt that Saber seemed to be very resistant to the church and even felt uncomfortable sitting here, so he did not ask her to continue going in.
"How is she now?" Shirou asked after chasing the priest.
"It's not a big deal. Although I can't repair the burnt magic circuit, I did my best to remove almost all the engraved insects in her body." The priest said without looking back: "Sorry, there are still a few engraved insects in her body, and she can only eliminate them by herself. Although it may be long and painful, it can be excreted by herself."
"Then why didn't you get all that stuff out?" Tosaka asked.
Shirou turned around, but couldn't see Tosaka's expression clearly in the dark aisle.
"Here" the priest took Shiro down the spiral stairs: "There are two reasons. One is that the marking bugs in her body are covered with her body. Some marking bugs that erode too deeply almost become something like a nerve. If they are completely removed, her functions as a human will have problems, and the other is that my ability can only end here."
The priest still did not look back, but just raised his arms. The sleeves slid slightly, allowing Shirou and Tosaka to see his arms.
Shirou looked at it and didn't see anything special - it wasn't it just a hand, there wasn't a single finger, and there were no scars. But immediately he heard Tosaka breathing in surprise behind him.
Shirou turned around in confusion, but saw Tosaka's face and said in surprise: "Kirei, where is your engraving?"
"As you can see, it's all used to treat Maki Sakura," the priest put his hands away and said.
"Use it for... hey, that's a magic seal, it's something accumulated from generation to generation, then... why did you use it all in less than three hours?" Tosaka's voice rose up, and she pushed Shiro aside and walked behind the priest.
The priest still did not look back: "There is no way. The engravings I received from my father are not like the permanence of you. They are consumer types that will disappear as long as they are used. Because our family is not a magician's family, so it is used less once and for metaphorical purposes, just like your master's spell."
"But that's too fast, how could you use that huge energy..."
Tosaka suddenly stopped talking.
Didn’t Kirei just said that he took out almost all the engraved insects in Sakura’s body, using this one. In Tosaka’s view, although the behavior of taking out engraved insects was incredible, it must be some special ability of the church, so Yan Feng did it. But now she realized that the priest did not have any special ability, but used all his wealth to exchange for Sakura’s safety.
Shirou looked at the priest at this time differently - although he did not have magic seals, he also knew some basic knowledge. That kind of thing is equivalent to a family heirloom for magicians, no, it is even more expensive. Magic seals are not just wealth for magicians, but full of the efforts and results of their ancestors, as well as their will.
Now, in order to save a girl, a magician has used up all the things passed down from his ancestors. Even if Shirou doesn't like Yanfeng Kirei, he can't help but feel some admiration at this moment.
This guy just looks uncomfortable and has a good attitude, well, like Tonsaka.
Shirou thought about this and couldn't help but look at Tosaka who was walking in front of him now.
At this moment, the girl was stuttering thanking - after all, the guy in front of her had done such a noble thing.
"Kirei, that..."
Seeing Tosaka's difficult appearance, Shirou couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Damn... This female fox was almost deceived by her just now.
It's very good to say, "I'm ruthless." I'll give up that emotion when necessary. What's the point, but my mouth is so powerful. Now that Yan Feng appears, she's revealed her true colors. Shirou can describe the expression on her face as the simplest time: nervousness and care.
In the worst case, if she really wants her to be enemies of Sakura, she might "Well, compared to that little girl from Maki, the saber in Emiya is more dangerous." Then she immediately tore the alliance book and ordered the archer to deal with him first, and then find other ways to avoid opposing Sakura... Well, this guy, she will definitely do this.
Shirou felt in his heart, and Toksaka's thanks over there were no success. The priest interrupted with a painless look.
"I'll be spared if I'm polite. As a supervisor, I'm just responding to your request." The priest turned around and looked at the joke.
"Uh, no matter what, thank you," Tosaka whispered. Although Shirou couldn't see it behind him, he was sure that this guy's face must have turned red.
Because I was grateful for the priest's actions, it seemed as if I was offering me diligence to the person I liked. Tosaka suddenly cared about the priest. She looked at the priest's back and said with some concern: "Kirei, what's wrong with your legs?"
Shirou felt chills, and the priest's figure seemed to shake.
Her relationship is so simple!!! Shirou thought.
I used to treat Yan Feng as a harsh person, but now the other party helps immediately...
However, because of Tosaka, Shirou did notice that the priest's legs seemed inconvenient and he turned slightly when walking.
"It's nothing. I didn't pay attention to the sealed insect just now, and I was slightly retaliated by the restriction set in it. It's not a big deal." The priest said a lie calmly, and sighed in his heart. His cultivation seemed to have indeed declined a little. Although his boxing skills and abilities are still improving, his ability to disguise his body functions has decreased much compared to ten years ago, and even these two children can see it.
"Backoff? How are you, your body..." Tosaka still clumsyly wanted to express his gratitude, but the priest suddenly opened a door as if he couldn't stand it and wanted to escape.
"She's inside," the priest said lightly, signaling the two of them to go in.
"Uh, thank you." This time, Tosaka's attention was indeed aside, and thanked him quickly, Tosaka walked in.
"Thank you, Father Yanfeng," Shirou also said.
The priest laughed softly and said to Shirou at the door, "Then, I will discuss your questions later."
Before Shirou could answer, the priest closed the door.
