"Don't catch me like this."

I was so embarrassed that I was clamped between my waist by one hand by Lancer and moved quickly towards the forest.

It is really embarrassing to be taken away like this. If Saber saw it, I would be ashamed of myself.

"Idiot, do you think I'll let you crawl on my back? Or..."

Even if I can't see my face, I can feel the malice in Lancer's tone.

"You want a princess hug-"

"No, never--!"

I was shocked and wished I could hold my hands together and ask the other party to weigh the left and right, and decided to shut up and maintain my current state.

There were roars in the forest in the distance from time to time, clearly audible in the quiet night. Saber and the others must be in a difficult battle, and I must arrive as soon as possible.

Although I could also use the strengthening power to quickly reach the forest, I, who had consumed most of my physical strength at that time, would definitely drag Saber down, so I had to accept the help of Lancer.

The lancer, who is far more agile than ordinary people, approaches the forest while jumping continuously.

Before falling in the sky, I could barely see smoke and dust rising in many places in the forest, swelling up the starry sky with the explosion of stars and flames.

——This scene is simply war.

The battle of a server with powerful destructive power is originally a war. Such terrible damage can be achieved by just one server.

In the night where stars and fires intertwined, I barely caught a red figure in the distance.

Archer was leaping high above the forest, placing a bow and arrow, and each strike could cause an explosion like a bomb attack.

But who is his enemy? Why didn't Archer's arrows concentrate in a certain place, but shot in all directions without target.

In order not to disturb the enemies in the dark, after I landed on the ground, I did not continue to advance from the air, but ran over from the ground together, and I was able to get rid of the humiliating attitude I had just now.

"Boy, did you think you would rush over all the way without hesitation? You can still think of this."

Lancer chuckled and ran in the same row with me. If it weren't for taking care of my speed, he would have rushed to the point where he could not even see his shadow.

"Don't talk about me like a fool--!"

"I didn't say you are a fool. A human who has not experienced hardships can easily lose sight of one thing between adventure and reason. You rushed to Liudong Temple so crazy just now, but now you calm down."

"I've always been calm."

"For a girl who has only known each other for a few days, she will pay regardless of her life and death, even if the other party doesn't need your help at all? Is that calm? "

I curled my lips and ignored the lancer. The servant was still watching my movements interestingly.

"The look you looked at me when you were at Liudong Temple was completely like another person. If Saber hadn't been an evil magician, I would have thought you had eaten your soul by something."

"Ha, how could such a thing be possible?"

I tried to slow down my breathing while talking to him, and then told him that I would be so tired that I would be out of breath.

"No? Then do you remember what you ate for breakfast yesterday?"

lancer asked with a smile.

Yesterday’s breakfast—

That's-

"What a joke, suddenly ask this kind of question-!"

As soon as I breathed, I finally slowed down and held the tree next to me while gasping.

yesterday--

It seems to be a very distant thing.

With Saber at school, looking at the sunset outside the window—

——No, that's fake.

Running in the dark city with Saber—

——That is also fake.

It is clear that the impression is a memory that is deeply impressed, but I intuitively realize that it is not true. After that time, I recalled earlier and more ambiguous memories, and I remembered—

In the sky, I pulled the chains and looked down at the meteor rushing towards the sky.

It seems to be a distant memory from many years ago—

"It's just a joke, but if humans are manipulated and controlled, they will always leave traces in their memory. Emiya, do you believe that your memories and ideas are all your own? Does your sudden outbreak of sacrifice really belong to you?"

Lancer smiled inadvertently. He was tempting, realizing something strange in me and testing me.

"Lancer, you're thinking too much, why can't I even think about anything myself?"

"Is it true?"

Hearing my rebuttal, Lancer just smiled, and I felt guilty in a hurry and ran ahead of him.

I want to save everyone-

Inheriting his father Kiritsugu's dream and becoming a party to justice.

——This idea has never changed.

like--

What was missing.

My father, he—

"Wait a moment--"

Suddenly, Lancer pressed my shoulder from behind, and a bloody red spear appeared in his right hand. The man with the intuition of a beast was observing the surroundings with a serious expression.

Infected by Lancer's expression, I calmed down and listened to the movements around me while soothing my violent heartbeat.

The dark forest is silent.

Even the sound of the wind died quietly.

It was so quiet, as if something was coming from afar, the world was greeting with silence with its eyebrows down.

Fear was like a poisonous spider climbing onto my back, and I finally suppressed the urge to jump up.

If I don’t do anything, I will go crazy. I let out a long sigh and open the palms of my hands.

——Projection, start.

The black and white blades appeared from the palm, gently holding the fine textured hilt, a hint of coolness spread to the bottom of my heart, and my heart calmed down.

"Tsk—"

Lancer turned his head and glanced at my double blades, and tickled in unknown meaning. He silently danced his spear and walked quietly to the center of a small open space ahead.

——

There is a voice—

"I saw you-"

Suddenly, Lancer jumped up, flew over ten meters like a rabbit, and shot a shadow behind the tree with a shot.

clang—

The sound of iron confrontation sounded.

The bright red lightning turned back in the darkness, and on the way, it passed the trunk next to it, and the trunk fell down in the rustling sound, revealing what was behind it.

"That's-?"

The lancer who took advantage of the situation to return was like a hunting dog and was lying on the ground. While preparing for the next attack, he was stunned in front of his enemies.

That one is not a human being.

The tall figure was as tall as a man, holding a very long samurai sword in his hand, and there was nothing on the part of his face.

The black, sharply horny objects covered the enemy's whole body, like a dark shadow, with only blood-red eyes staring blankly ahead.

"That sword doesn't look like it's assassin."

The narrow samurai sword held by the other party reminded me of assassin.

"It's not assassin, that's another person. I don't know how he became like this."

Lancer's expression became more and more serious, as if he knew the other party's identity. The blue heroic spear was held by his side like a snake letter, ready to stab him at any time.

"call--"

While speaking, the enemy seemed to be awakened, and his wooden eyes moved to the gun-carrying lancer.

——

The black shadow jumped up.

A sharp sword light flashed in the air, falling like a thunder.

Just split the blue servant in half.
