The poor girl in pajamas was still wearing her body, hugging her injured senior tightly in the cold wind, begging her sister pitifully.

Avenr, who was seriously injured, leaned silently in his arms. The wound on his body was wrapped in smoke-colored bandages as if he were consciously wrapped. On his face exactly like Shiro Emiya, his cold and inorganic pupils looked towards Rin.

"…This guy has no human feeling at all."

Noting Avenr's eyes, the bright red knight came to Rin unhappily, guarding against the enemy who had lost his ability to move in front of him. The rider appeared silently on the side slightly close to Sakura.

"Sakura, I want to ask you, why can you summon other sevants besides riders?"

"The senior is not a servant! - he is my favorite person!"

Perhaps, the first thing to be clear is the original origin of Avenr, but the purple girl doesn't even recognize Avenr's server identity.

"But he didn't exist at first, right? Sakura, before Avenr appeared, had some kind of dark smoke power lurking in the city, and continued to take human lives."

Sakura's face turned pale.

"I, I don't know, I don't know such a thing!"

"You should understand what exactly is committing a crime? How did this power appear when you were angry when the dark smoke burst out from your body, even causing rider to be injured under your attack?"

"I don't know, I don't know what that is. No matter what, would you please let the senior go? Sister."

Sakura, who was sitting on the cold ground helplessly holding her senior, was praying to her sister with a crying voice. The familiar and unfamiliar name made the red girl feel trembling in her heart. It has been so many years since she heard this sentence from sister, and her childhood memories of her sister were as far away as a dream.

"Sakura, I have thought about it carefully. Sakura is not a girl who will take other people's lives anyway. You just need to tell me why this power appears on you, and then we will help you get rid of it, okay?"

"But I really don't know why there is such a thing? Why do people die? Why are there fighting? Why do seniors appear like this? Why can't my sister trust me?!"

Sakura's sincere voice almost lost the strength to pursue the matter.

"Sakura, I believe you must have been some of the Maki family's methods that have led to such power. Now let's find a way to seal it, so that no one will die or be injured, and the seniors can be freed from it."

The purple girl hugged the senior in her arms tightly. When she heard Rin mention her senior, a trace of hope flashed through her eyes, followed by a deeper despair.

"There is no way, my sister is lying to me."

"What--"

She heard the child crying, longing for the child she had, and when she heard that she was about to be sealed into the darkness of the smoke, the child cried in horror.

"The senior exists with its power. It tells me that if it is sealed, the senior will only die."

The child was telling her that the senior was incomplete from the beginning, and if even its power was lost, the senior could not exist at all.

"That guy is conscious?!"

Rin raised her head in surprise and looked at her Servant. Then, the red girl felt relieved.

"If it was the guy's consciousness that was committed, it means that Sakura is not a real murderer. We can think of ways to protect the senior and seal it."

"No, you won't do that."

Sakura's voice fell. She kissed the senior who was lying in her arms, then raised her tears and said to her sister.

"Because you don't believe he is a senior."

“…”

The red girl was silent.

Holding the injured boy in his arms with difficulty, the purple girl stood up and begged again to her sister.

"Let's just leave like this, okay? I don't want any holy grail, I don't want to participate in any battles, just let me leave with my senior."

The purple girl's crying expression made Lin feel distressed. She didn't dare to look directly into the other person's eyes, clenched her fists unconsciously, raised her feet and lowered them.

"Sakura, only this time..."

Suddenly, the bright red figure of the knight stood in front of her, isolating the poor sister.

"No, this time, I can't do it, Rin."

“archer——!”

I want to make myself servant retreat, but I can't speak.

"Because Rin also understands that if the power of the dark smoke cannot be stopped, it will only cause more people to die, and even put Sakura in deeper danger."

"But--"

——That's my sister.

This is a word that cannot be said no matter how hard it is.

How could the magician from the Tosaka family retreat because of such an affair?

"Shut up, I don't want you to be a good person."

This is Sakura's angry rejection.

"Always inexplicably, all of this is all, inexplicably put me into war, inexplicably ask me to summon the Servant, inexplicably kill me, inexplicably take away my senior. I'm really fed up-!"

"Maybe all this is not fair to you, but I must not let Shirou Emiya's name as a hero be stained by this smoke!"

This is Archer's decision. No matter who is the real Shirou Emiya who is standing here, he believes that this must be the decision made by Shirou Emiya.

Break the darkness of smoke and maintain peace in this world.

but--

"You are not allowed to mention the senior's name, and you are not allowed to take him away from me for various reasons. Even if you die or go to hell, I will never let the senior go."

The purple girl raised her head stubbornly and confronted the bright red knight in her most fearless posture.

But the girl's weak figure was ridiculously weak compared to the powerful Servant. The Knight's eyes were cold, and his figure had crossed the short distance between the girl and the Servant as he waved his hand.

Then, his hand was blocked by the rider next to him.

"Wait a minute, archer."

Since the Knight of the Bow did not show his weapon, rider subconsciously blocked his first attack. Then, a shadow like smoke-colored light burst out from Sakura and attacked everyone indiscriminately.

"Rin, step back—"

The purple knight immediately retreated, and as if a chain was consciously rolled up, the red girl was thrown out of the range of the shadow attack, then the female knight reached out to hug her.

"You can't stop me without Avenr."

Fighting against the smoke tide was the bright red armed bow knight. The double blades flew out of his hand to block the smoke tide's attack, and Archer rushed towards Sakura. The next moment, the servant, in the name of the Avenger, broke away from Sakura's arms. After blocking the double blades of Archer's attack, he revealed Avenr's still cold pupils.

But he was injured and was not Archer's opponent. The Knight of the Bow easily destroyed Avenr's defense by just using both hands. He hit Avenr's body with several consecutive swords. Amid Sakura's screams, Archer broke through Avenr's defense and reached out to wrap Sakura's neck.

“Woo…”

While struggling, the girl stood there as she watched Avenr who was being broken for a while before falling down in several splashes of blood. The slumped servant was still struggling to look at his master, and her cold face turned slightly distorted, which was a painful expression.

Losing the last barrier, even his life fell into Archer's hands. The girl's eyes left the fallen servant and moved to the rider who was protecting Rin, strangling her neck, and suddenly showed a desperate and sad smile on her face.

"...Sister, it seems that I'm really going to hell..."

The sad smile made Archer's hand slow down, and then he heard a scream from behind.

Looking back, he saw Rin's painful expression, rider's stunned face, and the short blade that pierced Rin's lower abdomen in the female knight's hand.

"how……"

That was the sound of rider not being able to understand the situation in front of him.

Sakura was unconsciously thrown down, and the bright red knight burning with raging flames suddenly crossed a long distance, slashing at the rider who had hurt his master.

"Cough, rider, come back, cough..."

Under the command issued by the girl who was free and coughed, the purple knight avoided the archer attack and came to the girl's side. Rider still looked at his trembling hands in disbelief, the weapon that had just pierced into her protective object's body, and the Rin who had fallen into the arms of the bright red knight.

"How could I, how could I...?!"

"rider, why are you...?"

This is a question mixed with painful slights.

There is only one person who can explain all this.

"cherry……"

The purple servant turned around and looked at Sakura. The girl's smile had turned into a collapse after she was extremely desperate.

The girl stretched out her hand and pressed it on rider's heart.

"My Servant, do you feel it? My despair is flowing in your body."

Since the last time I was injured by the shadow, the turbid feeling I had experienced suddenly erupted from my body, like a torrent of magma burning everything, flooding a servant named rider.

~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hahahaha—it’s so interesting—!”

A corner of the city is filled with the laughter of the ancient king of mankind.

"I didn't expect my disciple to lose in this way, which is really disappointing."

Next to him is the mysterious missing priest Yanfeng Kirei from the church. He said he was disappointed, but his expression was filled with joy.

"Pain and struggle are the eternal themes of mankind. Using this mortal reality to distort these stupid humans is the most interesting picture of this mundane world."

"Speaking of it, Hero King, since you have appeared last time, why haven't you decided to participate in this interesting battle?"

While the priest was so happy that he asked his sevant casually.

"It's not time yet, Yomoto Kirei."

The hero Wang Youran answered.

"The king's appearance requires a sacrifice that matches his identity. It's not the time for me to appear."

Heroes Mountain looked at the brilliant lights outside the window and drank the red wine in the glass in one go.
