A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1234 Escape from Death

"■■■■■■■■───────"

The whirlwind swept across involuntarily.

In response to this, Saber jumped back and dodged, holding the sword with both hands again.

───The winner will be determined in this way.

Berserker lost her balance even more after dodging a blow to get out of trouble, and Saber bent her knees as she tried to take a step forward with all her strength.

at this time.

"──────Hey, Archer...? Why did you ask me to leave...?"

Tohsaka's puzzled voice came.

There was also murderous intent coming from a distant place, and Emiya Shirou was also aware of it.

"──────────"

behind.

Several hundred meters away, he saw the figure of a red knight holding a bow on the roof.

"──────────"

For a moment, Emiya Shirou shuddered subconsciously.

The thing that guy is holding is a bow.

The same bow as ever.

The thing that hit Berserker completely unscathed.

In this case, there is no need to feel threatened by that kind of thing───

"─────────"

─────It’s chilling.

What the guy put on his bow was not an arrow, but something else.

The target of that murderous intent is not just Berserker.

"Sa────"

The steps started to move.

Emiya Shirou subconsciously wanted to call Saber back.

"Saber────────!!!!!"

By the time Tohsaka Rin noticed, Emiya Shirou had already flown out of the shadows.

"Wait, wait─────!"

He ran towards Saber with all his strength.

"W-Shirou───?"

A dull expression on his face.

Saber looked at him and stopped thinking about heading in Berserker's direction.

I can catch up───!

The sense of crisis behind the approach.

"Why, why did you run out───!"

Emiya Shirou ignored Saber's scolding and rushed towards Saber at full speed.

Grab her wrist────!

"Are you crazy, Master...!"

"I have something to talk about later...! Don't worry about it for now, come over here───"

Emiya Shirou hugged Saber and jumped forward.

On the other side, high up - the arrow was released.

Archer's arrows have not shown any effectiveness so far.

Facing something like that, the black giant didn't even need to defend before.

But this time it's different.

At that moment——

"■■■■■■■■■■■■■■"

The black giant seemed to feel the threat and turned its back on them, fighting the incoming arrows with all its strength───

────In an instant.

All sounds disappeared.

"────────!"

He pushed Saber to the ground and just tried to hold on.

Is it auditory paralysis? I can't hear anything.

All he knew was the vibration of the atmosphere that shook his whole body, and the heat that burned his skin.

Various fragments bounced by the strong wind bounced around, making a solemn sound, and pierced Emiya Shirou's back.

"Well…………!"

He gritted his teeth and held on.

The white flash is actually only for a moment.

In the end, his body was not fatally injured and he survived the destruction.

“What──────”

Below him, Saber stared blankly at the scene before her.

...The same goes for Emiya Shirou.

He didn't know what happened.

All he knew was that the arrow released by Archer instantly turned the cemetery into a sea of ​​flames.

The ground roughly where the explosion occurred was dug up and turned into a hole.

Archer caused such massive destruction.

But even with such massive destruction, the giant still stands.

"...Berserker... received a Noble Phantasm equivalent to A-level, but he was still unscathed───"

Saber's voice was weak.

The dancing firelight melted into the darkness of the night.

The black giant stood motionless in the flames,

The people present watched this tragic scene silently.

Only the sound of the explosion reached my ears.

If this continues, it will become a serious fire, just when Emiya Shirou thought so.

"Huh……?"

The frame clanged, making this hard sound, and something strange fell out of the black giant.

"……sword……?"

No, that's an arrow.

An arrow with a luxurious handle and a blade curved into a spiral.

... Even if it is a sword, as long as it is used as an arrow, it is an arrow.

"────────"

Why would he care so much about that?

The arrow interrupted by Berserker disappeared as if melted into flames.

It fades away without leaving any trace, just like sugar melting in the heat.

That sword──without any reason, made Emiya Shirou feel cold.

"───Shirou, what was that just now?"

"...It's Archer's arrow. Other than that, I don't know."

He raised his head and moved his gaze towards Archer in the distance.

“Well────────”

Impossible to see.

It should be invisible, but it is definitely seen.

The guy twisted his mouth.

This guy wasn't just sniping at Berserker. As if to tell him this, this guy smiled.

"That guy──────!"

...had a headache.

The shivers running down my spine couldn't stop.

Just like when the magic circuit failed to form, the spine began to heat up,

Makes you want to vomit───

"...Hmph~. I look at you differently, Rin. You have quite a way, your Archer."

I don't know where the person was, but the girl's happy voice sounded.

"Well, come back Berserker. I originally planned to solve the boring things first, but now the schedule has changed a little."

...The black shadow swayed.

In the midst of the flames, the giant retreated as if in response to the girl's voice.

"───What? You've been beaten to this point, do you want to escape?"

"Yes, I have changed my mind. I don't need Saber, but I am interested in your Archer. So, I will let you live for a while longer."

The giant disappeared.

The white girl smiled and said: "Goodbye then. Let's play together next time, brother."

Leaving behind these words, he disappeared to the other side of the flame.

"…………"

Just like that, the sudden disaster left.

Even though he said that, Tohsaka had no intention of pursuing that girl.

Even Emiya Shirou knew that she had spared them.

In this case, he thought that Tohsaka would not go out of his way to start an unintentional war.

"...Master. I am very grateful to you for rescuing me from a desperate situation. But, is it time to ask you to let me go?"

...He heard Saber's faint voice.

"Ah─────Yes, sorry!"

My mind was still in confusion, and I finally came up with an answer.

Emiya Shirou let go of Saber and was about to stand up,

??????????.??????

He sat down shamelessly.

"Shirou? What's wrong with you? You still feel──Shirou, behind you...!"

Saber's voice was tense.

...Is it because the headache is too strong? He can't see Saber's face clearly.

Saber supported me who was lying down and touched his back with her hand.

"Ah, it hurts!"

A burst of pain.

...Although it is not as bad as this headache, it is not an ordinary pain that comes from time to time in the back.

"...It's so serious. It will be dangerous if it continues like this. I have to pull out the fragments, please be patient!"

"Hey───Wait, you said the fragment is, Saber?"

...!

There was absolutely no hesitation.

It looked like Saber had pulled out the splinter that stabbed her back.

"Ah───well, you're too rude───"

Adjust the breathing that is going to be messed up.

...Emiya Shirou may be a half-hearted magician, but he is still a magician.

He could still control this level of pain.

"Huh───Huu, Huh, Huh───"

It’s just that the feeling just now was very special.

If there are wings on your back, and you want to pull those wings out, it won't necessarily feel like this.

"...The wound is healing...I see, you have a way to treat yourself, right?"

Saber put her hand on her chest and said something strange.

"...?"

A way to heal yourself...?

No, let’s just say that it’s impossible for him to use that kind of advanced magic.

"Emiya-kun, are you okay?"

...Tohsaka ran over.

It was okay, Emiya Shirou raised his hand and said this to her.

"Really? Then let's go too. If we make the scene so big, people will come over if they hear the commotion."

Let's go. After saying this, Tohsaka ran towards the ramp from the cemetery with her long hair flowing.

"─────"

The moment he stepped on the ground just as he was about to follow.

My eyes suddenly turned blank.

"Master...!?"

...The feeling of something supporting the fallen body.

That also disappeared very quickly, without even having time to be surprised, and most of the functions stopped.

───All that is left is this heartbeat.

What is Emiya Shirou dissatisfied with?

What does he care about?

...Consciousness has almost disappeared, but there is only a headache similar to a high fever,

It goes on like a heartbeat.

───Scenery that I have never seen before.

Above his head is a sky of flames.

There are countless swords at his feet.

Is this the ruins of war? The world is an endless inorganic mass without any living objects.

The wind carrying dust shuttles through the steel forest.

The swords are as random as trees, and the number is very unusual.

Ten or twenty is insignificant.

One hundred or two hundred can't be reached.

But no matter what the actual number is, since people cannot count them,

That's called infinity.

The weapons that pierced the ground were left to rust in the absence of their holders.

The remains of the sword can already be described as countless.

────This scene.

He felt like a cemetery.

——

...the vision turned back.

It had been some time since the sun had risen, and the clear sunlight told Emiya Shirou this.

"───────The dream just now"

He opened his eyes anxiously, recalling the dream he had seen.

...Sword Hill.

The dream that I saw was, yes, after I saw a girl holding a sword and a cemetery surrounded by flames───

"Ah, are you awake? That's good. It's nothing serious. It's a blessing among misfortunes."

"What……………………?"

At the same moment, Tohsaka Rin looked down at Emiya Shirou with a very dignified expression and spoke a very ordinary sentence.

"~~~~~~!"

Emiya Shirou jumped out of bed.

After that, he paused for a moment and jumped back to the wall. In short, he increased the distance between him and Tohsaka.

"Far, far, far far far far away far far away far far away far far far away far far far far away far far far away far away far far away far far far far far far far far away the mountain!? Wh-what the hell!? Why are you in my room now...!!??"

Caught in a loop of thinking.

The other person was at Sword Hill───no, it should be in the burned cemetery. Next to him was Saber.

Why did he fall asleep in his room and it was still dark...! ?

"Toh-Tohsaka, why are you here? What have I done─────!?"

As soon as he said it, his head gradually became dizzy.

This is not the case because the situation is facing rapid development.

The most surprising thing was that Tohsaka was right in front of him as soon as he woke up, which made his heart beat fast.

"If you want to be surprised, it's better to choose one first and then be surprised later. Emiya-san doesn't have the ability to do both, does he?"

Regardless of his feelings here, Tohsaka is ruthless and thorough.

"──────mu!"

The pain from his back gave Emiya Shirou a wake-up call that stopped thinking.

That's right.

It’s natural to be frightened when you see Tohsaka’s face as soon as you wake up.

But, in other words, that is───

"...I see. Judging from the situation, you were the one who moved me here when I fainted, right, Tohsaka?"

"Yo. What, my brain is moving faster than it looks. You look like you are still confused but you are still thinking about things. Hmm, interesting."

…

I don't know whether it is a compliment or a criticism, but I hope she will stop making such remarks that are difficult to judge.

"...Does that mean that only about half a day has passed from then to now? By moving to my house, does that mean you escaped in secret?"

"Yes, that's it. It would be best if you could understand it so quickly."

Would that be enough?

That's it. After saying this brief sentence, Tohsaka's steps started to move.

"Hey───Hey. Where are you going, Tohsaka."

"Aren't you awake yet? Where are you going? This is not your home. And it's not a place where I can stay for a long time."

Said very simply.

Those eyes, "Aren't we enemies of each other?" seemed to be saying so.

"───────────"

That's right.

last night.

In that church it was said to fight.

That being the case, Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin only have a competitive relationship with each other.

"That's true. Sorry, Tohsaka. Also, although it's already this time, thank you anyway."

"──────"

Tohsaka stopped leaving and stared at him with a troubled expression.

"Wait a minute. Why do you suddenly say thank you?"

"Because you helped me, didn't you? Since we are enemies, I will feel even more grateful."

"─────Wait a moment. Sit down there, Emiya-san."

Tohsaka returned to the center of the room angrily.

"...?"

He didn't know what she was thinking, but he always felt that disobeying her would lead to serious situations.

"Okay, hurry up."

He patted the tatami mat.

"──────"

...It looks like he has something serious to say.

Thinking that this was the case, he sat down obediently.
