The Endless Shuttle

This is a "fortress" that goes beyond the scope of the "workshop".

Completely abandon redundant functions, just to put the intruders to death.

Luo Pei crushed the scorching sea of ​​flames that spread with one foot, and the huge magic power in his body exploded, directly crushing the wraith captured in his hands into a blueish fluorescent light that burst into the sky.

Standing in front of the main entrance of Tama Shizuku Hotel, the black-haired young man sighed endlessly.

"It's really a lot of work, Barthamello. Thirty-seven trigger elemental magic circles, fourteen curses, a maze in the brain... so many traps can be made under the premise of expanding the scope , it seems that the young girl has indeed grown up."

"...Is this the end?"

"It's just the beginning. After all, this is the base camp of our lovely Demon Marshal."

Along the way, Tohsaka Rin, who had kept a little distance from Luo Pei, had already firmly grasped the hem of the black-haired young man's suit with both hands at some point. He looked around like a frightened hamster, and the sound of his heart beating violently could be heard. Faintly heard.

From the moment she entered the magic studio in Bathermelo to the time she arrived at the Tamashizuku Hotel, the girl had gone through the most thrilling journey in her life. The ferocity of magic devouring human life was vividly displayed in front of Tohsaka Rin. Several times she almost felt that she would leave her life here in obscurity.

But the body of the black-haired young man is like a solid city wall, no matter the roar of the evil spirit or the terrible curse, all harms are isolated by Luo Pei lightly, without any omission.

While amazed at the power of the black-haired youth beyond common sense, the girl has become more and more dependent on Rope in danger, as if only by clinging to him can she gain a sense of security.

"Lopei, actually, I think we should observe for a while... It's a bit too reckless to rush into the workshop base camp of a magician marshal like this."

"Rin, are you scared?" Luo Pei asked with a smile.

"No! As the head of the Tohsaka family, such a small scene, such a small scene..."

Rin Tohsaka stubbornly refused to admit it, but her eyes fluttering left and right still betrayed her.

The girl was scared—Rope could see it.

Kotomine Kirei was killed by him in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Tohsaka Aoi is a lady who doesn't understand magic. It can be said that Rin's ability to become an official magician is completely self-taught. Because of this, coupled with the peaceful atmosphere in Fuyuki City in the past ten years, the girl's experience in fighting the enemy is basically zero, which is a typical example of the school of theory.

Thinking of this, Luo Pei also felt that perhaps it would be safer to stay here with Tohsaka Rin.

If he fights with Nero and Lorelia later, his power is likely to affect Tohsaka Rin. Power or secret art, neither is something that ordinary magician girls can afford.

So he turned around and put his hands on Tohsaka Rin's shoulders.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Rin stay here."

"……well!?"

Tohsaka Rin did not expect that her bravado would lead to such a result.

The girl waved her hands in panic.

"I, I'm just kidding! Look at Luo Pei, I still have a few quality gems on me today. Even if your strength is very strong, it will be very difficult if there are too many enemies? I can help you share some ..."

"I'm fine."

Luo Pei said seriously: "Except for Barthumello and Caster, the kind of bastard just now is not enough for me to kill."

After a moment of silence, Tohsaka Rin lowered his head and said something in a low voice.

"..."

"What?"

"...I said don't leave me alone!"

The girl raised her head, her face flushed, and she shouted in despair.

"That's right, I'm just scared! It's only natural for a workshop of this level to be scared! So, so... don't leave me alone!"

Tohsaka Rin gave up her arrogant disguise and confessed her most vulnerable side to Luo Pei.

...how to act like I am murdering you. Rope sighed helplessly.

He forcefully took Tohsaka Rin's little hand, using his own blood as ink, to write and draw on the girl's palm, murmuring vague words in his mouth.

Slowly, Tohsaka Rin saw the shape of the pattern that Luo Pei used his fingers as a pen.

The shape of an obelisk, topped with thin lines representing waves.

——"The obelisk buried in the deep sea".

Staring at the completed pattern, the girl was in a trance for a while, as if she was in the dark sea, and the buoyancy of the tide made Rin Tohsaka almost fall down. But when I watched it again, the disgusting discomfort disappeared miraculously.

Tohsaka Rin covered his dizzy head with the other hand, and asked with difficulty.

"What's this?"

"The Evil Emblem of the Sleeper."

For the girl who doesn't understand the Cthulhu mythology, Luo Pei didn't explain it too deeply.

"From now on, you are absolutely safe in this workshop, even if you run around casually, there will be no problem."

"Just, just rely on this stick figure drawn with your blood?"

"Compared with protective measures, I want you to be by my side" - this kind of words, Tohsaka Rin is absolutely embarrassed to say it. Therefore, she could only use this kind of questioning as a weak protest against Luo Pei's arrangement.

But things that Rope has made up his mind are hard to change.

"Ha, a stick figure...then treat it as a stick figure, as long as you know that this stick figure can protect you." He shook his head, turned and walked towards the main entrance of Tama Shizuku Hotel.

"Rin, wait for me quietly for a while, I'll be right back."

They all said that for this sake, Rin Tohsaka could only swallow it even if he had any objections.

In the final analysis, whether the two of them can go out depends on whether Luo Pei can defeat Caster and Marshal Mo Dao. If he thinks he should be here, then he should stay here...

——At critical times, Tohsaka Rin has never been willful.

...

The moment he stepped into the hotel, the scene before Luo Pei's eyes changed.

Instead of the normal reception hall seen through the glass, on the first floor of Shizuku Hotel Tama, the floor, ceiling, and walls are all printed with light green marks like magic circuits.

The space, blocked, separated the hotel from the outside world.

Like Soren Araya's "Sixty-Fourth Floor of the Hall of Honor", the most important thing for this type of residence is to clarify the difference between "inside" and "outside". In addition, the treasures owned by Nero are counted as inherent Among the enchantment subspecies, it was not at all what Luo Pei expected that Bathermelo Lorelia would do this.

"The majestic Marshal of the Demonic Dao, the high-ranking noble of the clock tower, doesn't even choose to go out to greet the guests? Isn't it rude?"
