Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Sajo Ayaka looked at the black bag that Shirou Emiya had placed aside with a look of great suspicion.

There was still a distance of several kilometers between the residential area and the new capital. In order to get there faster, she would not choose to run there on her own.

Not to mention how much time it would take to run there, even if she really got there, how much physical strength would she have to deal with emergencies.

What? Didn't Shirou Emiya travel back and forth between the new capital and the old capital in Fuyuki City in a very short time when he was in the Illya world?

At that time, Shirou Emiya could fly, but now he couldn't just carry Sajo Ayaka and run on the street.

It would be on the news the next day, and Rin Tohsaka would have to deal with it, and it would finally be revealed that it was an illusion caused by a gas leak.

"There must be a weapon at hand." Shirou Emiya waved his hand helplessly. He couldn't use projection magic now, otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

"But wooden sword, you don't really intend to use strengthening magic to fight the dead apostles head-on, do you? Low-level dead apostles are okay, but high-level ones--"

That's right, the black bag contained nothing else but a few wooden swords that he just bought from a roadside store.

The Emiya residence is still a distance away from the Sajo residence, and it is in the opposite direction of the Shinto. If he goes back to get weapons, it will take a lot of time.

That's why Shirou Emiya decided to buy a few wooden swords on the way to Shinto.

Anyway, no matter what kind of sword it is, it's the same for Shirou Emiya.

"In fact, I think we can think about it on the bright side. If Miss Aika doesn't provoke the dead apostles when we go there, we can take her away directly and won't have any conflict with the dead apostles at all."

In fact, Shirou Emiya is not very worried about the safety of Aika Sajo. If he thinks about it for a while, he will know that this must be intentional.

It was clearly agreed to meet at this time, but she followed some dead apostles alone, and coincidentally let Shirou Emiya know.

In particular, Aika Sajo has a good strength, at least that [Seal] is something that most beings cannot resist.

However, this majority of beings does not include Shirou Emiya. After being able to see through the cause and effect, Shirou Emiya can split it at the moment when [Seal] is launched, so that it is completely unaffected.

If the distance is close enough, Shirou Emiya can even directly break this spell.

Of course, Shirou Emiya is not the only one who can do this, but also Miyamoto Musashi.

"I hope so, but my sister is not a, uh, quiet person."

Ayaka Sajo covered her head and sighed. What should Ayaka Sajo say?

When her sister is lazy, she is really lazy. She can stay at home without moving, just waiting for herself to take care of her.

But when she goes out to make trouble, it is also earth-shattering. The thought of cleaning up her sister's actions makes her quite headache, but she can't ignore it.

"It sounds like it's quite hard."

Emiya Shirou also sighed out loud. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Sister Fuji. Although he couldn't compare Sister Fuji with Sajo Aika, she also worried him a lot in the past.

Now it is Shirou Emiya who worries Fujimura Taiga. After all, he doesn't spend much time in Fuyuki City in a year, and he can't even contact her by phone.

If it weren't for the fact that Shirou Emiya did come back every once in a while, and basically everyone she knew guaranteed that Shirou Emiya hadn't had any accidents, Fujimura Taiga would have been slightly relieved.

She thought Shirou Emiya was recruited into the legendary winery and was performing some special tasks every day. Look at that Gin, he also has white hair (silver hair), maybe it's because of working too much overtime and being too tired -——

Ahem, let's get back to the point.

The location given by Sajo Aika is very vague, basically a large area is circled. If only two people are looking for the location of Sajo Aika in such a large area, it may be possible to find a little clue until the evening.

Fortunately, although the information that Aige gave was vague, there were still key points in it.

Abandoned building——

A　It basically reduced the scope of their search.

It was not that the map of Fuyuki City marked where the abandoned building was, nor that Emiya Shirou and Sajo Ayaka knew where there was an abandoned building over there.

But——————

"Swoosh!"

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a black bird with dark eyes filled with scarlet red light soared into the sky.

"Ga——!"

Accompanied by a cry of pain, blood gushed out from the sharp beak of the black bird with a dark breath. In just a moment, the crow hovering in the air lost its life and was eaten up by the black bird.

"The magician's familiar? It seems that someone has discovered my location, even though I just arrived in this city"

A pleasant and low voice sounded in this abandoned building. If Emiya Shirou could be here, he would definitely be able to hear who this voice belonged to——Kotomine Kirei.

However, the person standing in the darkness was not Kotomine Kirei, but a man with short silver-white hair who looked like a professor in a suit.

"So where did [she] go now?"

On a very quiet street somewhere, a girl with glasses, short golden hair and a school uniform who looked almost exactly like Sajo Ayaka was running aimlessly while looking behind her with a horrified expression.

"Girl, you seem to be troubled——"

As a soft voice that seemed to be mixed with a little joy sounded, under the illumination of the street lamp, a girl with silver hair and golden eyes wearing a nun's uniform held a rather heavy-looking book in her hands, as if her face was paralyzed. Looking at each other the same way.

"If you need it, the Lord's protection -!"

The next second, behind him, countless red strips of cloth rose up wildly, cutting through the air and heading straight towards the girl who looked exactly like Sajo Ayaka.

"!!!"

The blond girl, who didn't expect that the other party would suddenly attack her, closed her eyes sharply.

However, what came was not the expected pain, but the roars of several beasts.

"Uuuuuuu——!"

Opening your eyes, following the red ribbon, in the darkness, a wild wolf-like beast was tightly tied up in mid-air.

"What did you say?"

"Retreating will only lead to aging, and timidity will lead to death. This sword is called - Zhanyue."

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

As several tearing sounds were heard, the beasts howled, and then fell to the ground like a quagmire and disappeared.

Chapter 1089: I’m really going to faint.

Night begins to fall quietly.

Around an abandoned building, an indescribable atmosphere of silence is quietly spreading.

The lights on the street seemed to have malfunctioned and went out.

In this rare place, there is no human breath at all.

"Is there still no way to get through the phone?"

Standing on the dim street, Emiya Shirou asked Ayaka Sajo beside him.

"Can't get through, the phone has been shut down, and all my familiars were killed dozens of minutes ago!"

Sajo Ayaka frowned tightly, her eyes were full of anxiety, and she clenched her hands into fists. She couldn't imagine what she would do if something happened to her sister, and how she would face her father.

"It seems that the other party has already known about our arrival——"

Shirou Emiya held the wooden sword in his hand tightly, staring straight at the building in front of him that was almost swallowed up by the darkness, and made a faint sound.

Not only because of the changes in the surrounding atmosphere, but also because of the ominous magical atmosphere coming from inside.

"You'd better go."

However, just when Emiya Shirou was about to leave for the abandoned building, Sajo Ayaka behind him suddenly said: "Originally, my sister is the one to blame for this matter. There is no need to risk her life for this - —”

Although it is not good to say this about his sister, from the perspective of Sajo Ayaka, it is indeed Sajo Aika who seeks death by herself. She has to follow the Dead Apostles to do something. Things like Dead Apostles should be left to the Holy Church. Just let the church people solve it.

Not only was he not involved, but he did so for such a completely unacceptable reason.

Faced with Sajo Ayaka's words, Emiya Shirou's footsteps suddenly stopped, but only for a moment, and he walked towards the abandoned building without looking back.

"Didn't I say it? I will help -"

"It's really Baga!"

Sajo Ayaka cursed slightly, but did not persuade Emiya Shirou again, but followed him.

"sand--!"

Next to the abandoned building, the trees planted along the street swayed gently under the blowing wind.

"Crack-!"

Amidst the slight sound of treading on the ground, the two of them stepped through the door of the abandoned building with great caution and entered the interior with the help of the moonlight.

Although it is an abandoned building, most of the place has been completed. It is not like a construction site. It is just that the brackets have been filled in. The surrounding walls and windows have been filled in.

Therefore, in this building, even the moonlight hanging from high in the sky cannot shine in it.

"Emiya, do you know lighting magic?"

Standing at the door, Sajo Ayaka did not go any further. Instead, she looked around and asked Emiya Shirou who was also stopped at the door.

In such a dark environment, you don't even know what's going on behind you when someone approaches you sneakily.

This is really a perfect place for Assassin to fight.

"I won't."

Emiya Shirou answered Sajo Ayaka's question confidently.

"Then you rushed in in such a hurry?"

Hearing Emiya Shirou's words, Sajo Ayaka's blood pressure suddenly rose. If you don't know lighting magic, why are you walking so fast?

"But I can see clearly—"

Sajo Ayaka felt that Emiya Shirou was perfunctory, but there was no evidence. It was so dark, and you didn't even use magic to strengthen your eyes. Are you the reincarnation of an owl?

What's more, even if you cast strengthening magic, you can't see clearly! Can only see close up clearly.

Beside Ayaka Sajo's eyes, there are traces of magic on the striped outfit, which is a sign of enhanced magic.

"Calm down! Calm down!"

Sajo Ayaka exhaled a few breaths and signaled herself not to panic. The more panic you have at this time, the easier it is to make mistakes. Then she looked at Shirou Emiya next to her again: "Then what magic do you know?"

"Strengthen your magic and projection magic."

Emiya Shirou's answer was very sincere and he did not lie.

but------

"Kick--!"

Sajo Ayaka's heart suddenly stopped. Strengthening magic and projection magic. Aren't those the two most basic magics?

"As for strengthening magic, I can only strengthen objects now."

"Dang! Dang!"

She felt like she was about to suffocate, and the good impression she had just had on Shirou Emiya disappeared without a trace.

No! Where do you get the confidence to follow me to face the Dead Apostles!

Oh, he doesn't know the Dead Apostles.

No! He can't really be a novice magician!

Sajo Ayaka felt her blood pressure soaring to the point of bursting. She had misjudged and believed his cool words, even though he was just a rookie who couldn't even strengthen the human body with strengthening magic.

Isn't it like giving up to follow like this?

But looking at Shirou Emiya's determined eyes in the darkness, and remembering what she had said before in front of the abandoned building, Sajo Ayaka swallowed back what she wanted to say.

It was indeed a wrong decision to bring him here.

"Let me do it! I can only use my extremely clumsy elemental transformation (Formalcraft)——?"

Before Sajo Ayaka finished her words, a burst of strong light burst out from in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but close her eyes in an instant, and then stretched out her hand to block herself.

After a few seconds, she slowly opened her eyes.

Then she saw Emiya Shirou holding a brick-like thing in his hand (it was still a flip phone at this time, not a smartphone), and the front end was emitting a strong white light, illuminating the surroundings.

"Although I don't know lighting magic, I have something that can illuminate!"

Emiya Shirou nodded to Sajo Ayaka.
