I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Everything starts with the news that Shinji received.

"Liu Si is living with a strange man."

That strange man, Shinji knew, his name was "Honjoba", and he was also known as "Shirou Trumpet" or "Shirou Prototype". He looked very similar to the protagonist Shirou Emiya in "Fate stay night". He was a member of the Araya Sect. A chess piece sent by Ren to lure the two rituals to Ogawa's apartment.

The cohabitation of Yan Tiaoba and the two rituals was the beginning of a story called "Conflict Spiral", and the reason why he got this news was because he placed people near the residence of the two rituals (people arranged by Tuohe) . The object of surveillance is not Liang Lili himself, but the strangers who come in and out of Liang Lili's residence.

In other words, Shen Er is waiting for Yan Tiaoba to appear.

Of course, Shinji also considered the possibility of Araya using other means. But no matter what the means, two points will not change.

First, Araya's goal is to obtain the body of the two rituals.

Second, Araya cannot take action against the two rituals outside Ogawa's apartment, because this will arouse the vigilance of the inhibitory force, which will lead to various unexpected changes - the inhibitory force will prevent anyone from going to the "source".

As long as you keep an eye on the two rituals, you will definitely be able to grasp Aranya's movements.

After confirming Yan Tiaoba's appearance, Shen Er began to quietly make arrangements, such as sending people to rent an apartment adjacent to Ogawa's apartment to monitor, such as sending people to secretly keep an eye on Yan Tiaoba.

All actions are done in the dark. Neither Sakura, the closest sister, nor Orange, who is in charge of the brain trust, know about Shinji's actions. The only one who knows about Shinji's actions is Matou Tsuruno, who provides human and financial support to Shinji.

When nearly a month passed, when Orange left Kanfuko City for Tokyo, Shinji had a premonition that something might happen. On the grounds that he had recently dealt with personal matters, he asked for leave from the Clone Brigade and Kenneth, took a plane back to Japan, and moved in directly. He entered a rental house across the street from Ogawa's apartment and hid under Araya's nose.

Just as Shinji predicted, Araya took action. Under his design, Yan Tiaoba brought Shi to Ogawa's apartment, met Areye, and fought with Areye.

On the other hand, Shinji, who received the news that Yan Jiaoba and Shiki were going on a night out together for the first time, began to wrap things up. According to his plan, as soon as Shiki and Araya go to war, he will launch his already prepared arrangements to destroy Araya's temple in one fell swoop. After that, Shiki decides whether Araya lives or dies.

Just when everything was ready and all that was left was the east wind, the appearance of Orange disrupted Shenji's plan.

"I originally thought that when you came back from Tokyo, you would go back to the workshop first so that you would see the message I gave you. I didn't expect that you didn't go back at all and started investigating directly. It seems that I underestimated your understanding of the taboo. The obsession with fame. It was my negligence that caused you to get hurt, and I want to apologize to you."

Shinji said while drawing healing runes on Orange's body.

Under Shen Er's treatment, Cheng Zi's complexion gradually improved, and she sighed quietly.

"That name is a complete denial of my eighteen years of life. Even if you are paraphrasing Aruba's words, when I heard that name, I still had the idea of ​​killing you - so, we are even. ”

"Yeah, it's even."

Seeing Orange, who was different from usual, rarely showing weakness, Shenji felt sad. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, put it to Orange's mouth, and lit it for her. He knew that this was what she needed most right now.

"I got it from my friend (Webber). It's British. It may not be to your liking, so just smoke it."

Under the glasses, a pair of beautiful orange eyes showed surprise at first, and soon turned into an emotion that perfectly matched the eye color - warmth.

The woman with a warm name had trembling eyes and took a long puff of cigarette.

"You still understand me."

After blowing out a smoke ring, he shook his head again.

"No, you are the only one who understands me. Otherwise, I would have been killed by Araya Soren. Well, it is possible that life would be worse than death."

Chengzi was really angry because Aruba said the "forbidden sentence" and rushed back to Guanfuzi City from Tono's house. After some investigation, she successfully found Aruba's hiding place. At the same time, she also saw the difference in Ogawa's apartment and became aware of Araya Soren's existence.

This discovery made her give up the idea of ​​going in and killing Aruba directly. Chengzi is a rational person, she will not do anything that she is not sure about. Just as she was about to return to the studio and make long-term plans, she saw Yan Tiaoba walking into the apartment with two rituals.

At that moment, Chengzi understood Areye's purpose - after a few months of getting along, she had already seen that the two ritual bodies were connected to the "root", which was the passage Areye had dreamed of. The apartment in front of me, which has been transformed into another world, exists precisely for the two rituals.

Although Chengzi's usual credo is to keep things aloof and have nothing to do with him. But this time it was no longer someone else's business, but an incident related to her. Orange had already predicted that something like this would happen when she decided to get involved with Shiki, and she couldn't and didn't want to sit idly by.

In Chengzi's view, the so-called magician treats his disciples and relatives the same as himself. Because it exists like a clone of itself, it will risk its life to protect it, and the same goes for the two rituals.

Therefore, Chengzi gave up his plan and broke into Ogawa's apartment with the familiar he had prepared to deal with possible changes in the Tono family. The moment she stepped into the apartment, she was ready to die once, and her main goal changed from killing Aruba to rescuing Liang Riba.

This scene fell in the eyes of Shinji, who had been monitoring Ogawa's apartment, and he almost died of panic. Even Shinji now has no confidence that he can defeat Araya who has the support of the "Sixty-Fourth Floor of the Consecration Hall", let alone Orange whose fighting ability is not as good as his.

Without even hesitating, Shinji directly changed his original plan. Regardless of the two rituals, protecting the oranges is the first priority.

Anyway, Araya's goal is to capture Shiki alive, so Shiki won't be in danger for the time being. Besides, people are close to each other. Although I feel sorry for Mikiya to say this, in Shinji's heart, Orange's status is much higher than that of Ryo Rishi. Even if he knew that Chengzi could be "resurrected", he didn't want Chengzi to experience the pain of death.

So, Shinji put on Hades' cloak and followed Orange into the barrier. If he is not discovered, he will secretly protect Orange. If Araya discovers it, take the orange and kill him directly.

I don't know if it was because Araya and Aruba were focusing on their respective goals, but Shinji was never exposed. He just hid in the corner, watching Orange defeat Aruba, and watching Orange fight Araya.

While fighting, he was also thinking about how to make the most of the current situation.

The answer was the unguarded Orange beside him and the two scrolls on the back seat.
