"You killed someone again." Tohsaka Rin looked at the blue-haired man's nonchalant smile, his face flushed with anger, "You obviously already have a magic circuit, why do you want to kill other magicians and take away their circuits?"

"Magic circuits are like foreign exchange reserves. No one can have too much." Shenji didn't care about the other party's anger, because he knew that the genius girl would never dare to fight him.

Her only relative, her sister, is still in her hands.

Hostage tactics are ineffective against lunatics or villains, but at least they are effective against Tohsaka Rin.

"Matou Shinji... I never knew you were such a person." The heroic spirit in red clothes and white hair looked at him, his eyes full of doubts, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes..."

"As a servant, you talk too much." Shenji interrupted Archer's sigh and pointed at the blue-haired heroic spirit standing guard at the door. "A good servant should be like that, do more and talk less."

"This is just a transaction. I pay money and your master pays labor. There is nothing else. Whether I do evil or do good, it has nothing to do with her and it has nothing to do with you." He said in a mocking tone,

"And... do you think that among the group of 'magicians', there are many kind-hearted fools like your master? The vast majority of magicians are villains who do not hesitate to die, just like me."

After sending the future Shirou Emiya away, he took off his shirt, exposing his upper body covered with scars.

"Where are you going to transplant me this time?" He asked in a very relaxed tone, as if the person who was about to be cut open was someone else, "Also, this time you won't make the mistake of transplanting the magic circuit

, but it was such a lowly mistake to cut off my blood vessels, right?”

The blade cut through flesh and blood.

The bones were exposed and carefully pierced with the tip of a knife to connect the magic circuit.

Cold sweat continued to flow from Tohsaka Rin's forehead.

She knew very well how painful this operation was and that anesthesia was not allowed during this operation.

Every time the knife went down, she felt a slight pain in her body.

The man was not a monster who didn't know pain. She could see his muscles twitching and heard him biting the gag so loudly that it rattled.

But he still came again and again with the stolen magic circuit and asked her to help with the transplant operation.

"Why do you have to do this?" After the operation, she couldn't help but ask.

"This world is a cold jungle." Shenji leaned on the operating table and replied feebly, "Either eat people or be eaten, so I need more and stronger teeth."

"You are not a qualified magician." When he left the check and said goodbye, he mentioned the advice he had said many times before, "Take Sakura and leave Higashigi Town, leave the world of magicians.

This is not the place for you”

Medea sat in the passenger seat and stared at the man driving.

She is afraid of this man.

She is a witch in the mythical age, and has met many kinds of men, including ambitious heroes, cowardly cowards, wise and brave heroes, and ordinary mortals.

For many people, she is a terrifying witch. They fear her and curse her, but they have to fear her.

But in front of him, she is nothing

She couldn't see through him, she couldn't see through him at all.

He was afraid of death, no doubt because he never let himself get close to his back. Even after making the contract, the first command spell was "Kill yourself before you try to betray me" as a precaution.

But he seemed to despise death and take risks without hesitation.

In just the past few days, she had seen him fight more than once with the magicians who had sneaked into Fuyuki Town in an attempt to participate in the Holy Grail War and seize the Holy Grail, killing them mercilessly, or subduing them and extracting their magic circuits alive.

Many of those magicians were stronger than him, and he encountered life-threatening danger more than once during the battle.

She has been looking forward to his summons, hoping to get the opportunity to show her strength as a heroic spirit.

But he never summoned her.

Maybe... it's distrust.

After all, she had just betrayed her Master when they first met.

She was a shallow woman who became ugly due to being eroded by magic. She was jealous and hated herself for having both strength and beauty.

But I also hate her.

So I used some clever tricks to trick that ignorant guy into using all three command spells rashly, and then attacked her without hesitation.

Just as she inserted the dagger into the "Master"'s back, the window of the room was kicked open and the man rushed in.

Without any hesitation, he used modern weapons to turn the still-breathing, incompetent woman into pieces of flesh and blood.

At that time, she just stepped aside and watched all this quietly without taking any action.

Because outside the window, there is a powerful heroic spirit watching here.

As long as she dares to take action, she will immediately be attacked from both sides.

As a magician, she is not good at close combat. If she is attacked in such a small space, she will inevitably fail and die.

Even if you don't take into account the other heroic spirit who is definitely better at fighting than her, this man with murderous intent is not something that a magician can deal with.

When the man looked at her with ferocious eyes, in an instant, she remembered the man who broke into her magic tower when she was only fifteen years old, kicked her off the queen's throne, and kicked her out of everything she had paid for.

Many powerful countries smiled contemptuously and said to Theseus, "Since you have not done any evil in these years, I will spare your life."

"Heroic spirit?" The man who had just killed her contractor sneered and said outside the window, "Rider, you are lucky, this food looks delicious."

This sentence completely broke down her defenses. Facing a terrifying character who only regarded her as food, she was scared. She was scared from the bottom of her bones and trembled with fear.

So she gave in without hesitation, offering her contract and body, just asking the other party to let her go.

Why? Obviously heroic spirits are not afraid of death...

Sometimes, she also thinks about this problem.

Why did I not consider anything else at all at that time, only fear and begging for mercy?

Maybe...under the mask of "witch", what is hidden is just a timid woman who has been hurt...

It is actually not difficult to break away from the shackles of the Command Seal. There are many ways for her to do it.

However, every time she saw this man's calm and cold face, she felt that maybe it would be good to stay by his side like this.

In her opinion, even if a woman is a witch, she will eventually follow the strong.

Looking at Shinji Matou who seemed not to care about the body that had just been cut open and was just driving the car with concentration, the betrayed witch fell into deep thought.

Emiya Shirou is a good man.

No matter how stubborn and unreasonable a person is, they have to admit this.

In fact, he's a totally bad guy

No matter who asks him for help, no matter how troublesome and difficult it is, he will not refuse and will do his best.

He helped everyone he could and was truly a saint.

But the bad thing is that many people stay away from him.

It's probably like Mr. Lu Xun said, if you get close to a great person, your greatness will squeeze out the insignificance in your own bones. So except when you need to ask him for help, almost no one is willing to get close to him.

In the entire school, there were only four people with whom he could be considered friends.

Teacher Fujimura Taiga, classmates Yanagi Kazunari, Matou Shinji, and junior schoolmate Matou Sakura.

"Shirou, you have to change the way you do things." During the lunch break, Shinji was eating rice balls made by himself while persuading his only friend, "We are just ordinary people, and it is very stressful to get along with saints.

of"

"But... I hope to help others more..." Emiya Shirou's bento was also made by him. This is what the two men have in common.

"You have to consider the means to help others." Shen Er felt that he had become a psychiatrist. "I know you don't care about others' repayment, but do you know that there is a saying in the world that 'a great favor turns into an enemy'? You just blindly

If you pay and others cannot repay you, they will feel guilty towards you. It doesn't matter if you are a noble person, but those who are originally narrow and insidious will not only not think of repaying you, but will resent you, and may even encounter misfortune.

When the time comes, put the target of hatred on you."

"It's impossible..."

"Is there any possibility that they would say, 'Why didn't you come to save me? Aren't you a hero of justice?' They would definitely put all the responsibility on you, and then they might even put you

Sacrifice him as a scapegoat. Don't put on that face of disbelief. I've read more books than you have seen girls." After saying this, his expression became stern and he was so angry that he couldn't even maintain his usual demeanor.

As a time traveler, he knew very well what a miserable situation his friend would end up in because of this bad guy's temper and his dream of "saving everyone".

never allowed

There are very few good people in this world. The streets and alleys are filled with villains like him, lunatics like Zouken, and hypocrites like Kirei Kotomine. It is because of their existence that the earth has become

The air is polluted

Like a giant panda... no, as rare as a dinosaur that has survived from the Mesozoic Era to this day, Shirou Emiya should never have suffered the fate of Red A.

If this world is so bad that it wants to swallow even the heroes of justice, then it is better to let it be destroyed.

Maybe winning the Holy Grail War and summoning the Black Holy Grail would be a good idea...

It's impossible. Just a Holy Grail can't really destroy the world.

Apart from anything else, I have seen the two rituals. The root ritual in that woman's body definitely has the ability to solve the Black Holy Grail.

Damn, saving the world is difficult, so he admits it. He never intended to be a hero anyway, but why is it so difficult to destroy the world?

Thinking about these terrible topics, Shenji unknowingly ignored his consistent stance.
To be continued...
