The Endless Shuttle

—or somewhere behind the wall.

Sensing the abnormality of her Servant, Rin asked curiously.

"Archer, is there a problem?"

After a while, Arjuna looked away, shook his head and said.

"——No, it may be my illusion. Compared with that, Master, please give an order for the next action. I am ready to fight at any time."

As if to increase the credibility of his words, the swarthy Servant stretched out his hand, and a steel bow wrapped in silver and dark blue flames appeared in his hand.

"Huh? Order?"

Rin froze for a moment, then coughed weakly.

"... Cough! There should indeed be an order, after all, it is the Holy Grail War."

She thought about it, and said with some embarrassment.

"Then Archer, stay alert around the house first!"

"...on standby?"

"That's right!" Tohsaka Rin said confidently.

"In order to summon you, I wasted a lot of precious gems and magic power, for which I need a temporary rest. Do you have any opinions?"

"..."

Arjuna fell silent, and there seemed to be silent sighs around him.

"...Of course not, Master, please rest well. I will be responsible for the surrounding vigilance."

"Uh-huh."

Lucky, really lucky.

Tohsaka Rin thought with satisfaction.

What could be luckier than drawing a powerful hero, only to have that big hero be so obedient?

Slowly expecting the Holy Grail War, the girl walked upstairs to her boudoir.

...

Very far away from Tohsaka's house, where the "resident of darkness" Nyogda resides, a black and gold figure is standing on the top of the house and looking into the distance.

Light white hair, with a touch of red around the eyes.

Just like wearing the sun, even in the dark, men still dazzle the scorching sun.

"Does Mr. Karna hate being in the room?"

Heroic Spirit turned his head and looked at the girl who was walking out of the darkness.

——A woman named Sakura Matou.

His Master.

"No, it's not that I hate it, it's just that I'm not used to the "darkness" there. "

Karna jumped off the roof and landed safely in front of Sakura.

"Also, Master, please try not to call me by my real name in this Holy Grail War, just use Lancer as a pronoun. If it is true, as said, heroes from different eras gather here, things like real names will be exposed. Lou some information that is not good for us."

"Okay, Mr. Lancer. However, even if you are not used to it, please be patient. This is the shrine of His Highness Nyogda and I, and it is a very important place." Sakura said the unquestionable order in a gentle tone.

"Yes, I understand."

Karna glanced at the ominous woman who was eroded by darkness in his eyes, and silently followed the order and walked towards the house.

"Did Mr. Lancer see anything just now? Your expression seems to be nostalgic." Sakura asked.

"I miss you very much"...huh? "

Karna repeated in a low voice, with a slight sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"He is indeed a memorable person... Probably, my old acquaintance and old enemy also descended into this Holy Grail War, a wonderful fate."

"Can you win?"

Sakura didn't care who Karna's old enemy was, even before she got the holy relic of the Son of the Sun God, she didn't even have a detailed understanding of "Mahabharata".

The girl only cares about one thing, and that is "whether her Servant can win the final victory".

Then, let my brother keep it forever - become my own thing!

"Of course, please rest assured." Karna said helplessly.

"This time, he doesn't have such good luck... the man of destiny favored by the gods."

After finishing speaking, the Son of the Sun God did not stop and left the main entrance of the Dark Temple.

Sakura didn't return in a hurry, but looked up at the sky, wondering what she was thinking.

In the farther attic, Nyogda looked at Sakura through the window and let out a laugh.

"Hmph, you'd better pray that your elder brother will be tolerant of your willfulness. If I lose Luo Pei's favor, I don't mind personally disposing of disobedient disciples..."

But compared to her disciple's disobedience, the ferocious Goddess of Darkness has more to worry about now.

——How to steal Lope from Nyarlathotep? Judging from the current situation, it seems that Luo Pei will be very busy during this trial period...

This is a very distressing problem.

PS: The second update is complete.

Chapter 19: Not what it used to be, the first dance of war

The arrival of the heroic spirits also heralds the official opening of the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Pull open the windows of the balcony on the second floor, letting fresh air and moonlight pour in. Luo Pei turned his head and found that Saber was looking at the surroundings of the house with awe.

"Is something wrong??"

"It's a little strange... I don't know if it's my illusion."

Arturia's delicate face twisted slightly.
