Chapter 1229

(This is yesterday's, forgot to upload, sorry)

【Time quickly reaches early morning, and Shirou Emiya brings Artoria to the appointment on time.】

【"You've come, Shirou Emiya. You're really slow."】

【Standing in the ruins, Archer says in a frivolous tone.】

【Watching the man before him who has honed immature magic to the pinnacle and realized his own ideals, Shirou Emiya is silent for a moment and says: "Archer, what happened to Rin?"】

【Archer: "Her, I left her somewhere in the castle; if you're worried, hurry up. Because you were too slow, I gave her to Shinji Matou, who arrived a step earlier."】

【"What!"】

【Shirou Emiya, who was originally feeling complicated and conflicted, feels his anger rise instantly upon hearing this.】

【He knows Shinji Matou's character all too well now; Archer actually said he handed Rin Tohsaka over to the other party!】

【Archer: "I kept my promise. I didn't lay a hand on her. So whatever others do to her has nothing to do with me. But, the result is predictable."】

【His meaning is already very clear—if you want to save Rin Tohsaka, hurry up and finish me off, otherwise the other party might be eaten clean.】

【But this time, Archer's plan also couldn't keep up with the changes.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Crack crack (sound of cracking knuckles)—"

If Archer were in front of her now, she would definitely break every bone in his body.

Tiger of Fuyuki: "Shirou, you've really gone too far this time; I can't even watch it anymore."

She can tell what kind of trash Shinji Matou is; handing Rin Tohsaka over to him is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.】

Archer: "Hmm hmm (indifferent)..."

Regarding this kind of thing, Archer really doesn't care at all.

His relationship with Rin Tohsaka in his life could only be considered friends; after countless years of slaughter after death, his heart had long since turned cold.

As long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter even if he sacrifices Rin Tohsaka.

The reason he chose to help Rin Tohsaka win the Holy Grail at the beginning was also because he had no choice.

Among these Masters in the Fifth War, in his eyes, only Rin Tohsaka was still passable.

Unfortunately, Rin Tohsaka disappointed him time and time again.

【"Ah ah, don't worry, kid, leave the girl's business to us."】

【Just then, a blue figure appears on the second floor; it is Dog Brother.】

【"Just wait and see, I'll go save her right away."】

【Shirou Emiya: "???"】

【Seeing Dog Brother actually coming to help him, Shirou Emiya's brain directly goes into standby mode.】

【Although both sides had cooperated before, that was temporary; they should be back to a hostile state now.】

【"Cough cough, it's an order given to me by my Master."】

【Dog Brother says without blinking: "Originally, I came to help to prevent the girl from dying."】

【Saying this, he walks past Archer toward the castle, completely ignoring him.】

【"Oh my, I didn't expect it to feel unexpectedly comfortable to execute. That battle yesterday was really enjoyable. It's rare for me to like my own work."】

【"Saber, leave it to that kid here."】

【"Lancer... thank you."】

【Shirou Emiya thanks him solemnly, then says to my King: "Saber, leave Rin to you guys, please save her as soon as possible."】

【Artoria: "No, Shirou, I want to guard you here. Witness your battle."】

【She doesn't feel at ease leaving Shirou Emiya alone here, but she doesn't want to do nothing, so she immediately takes out a new move.】

【The next moment, Invisible Air wraps around Dog Brother.】

【That's right, this thing can actually be used as a buff for others.】

【"That's fine, Saber can stay here to prevent any spoilers from breaking in."】

【Dog Brother laughs: "Don't mind it. This is entirely my interest. The orders before were all annoying tasks, but I will follow this order to the end. You too, just take care of yourself."】

【He finds that the priest seems to have become a bit more normal.】

【How interesting, how did he suddenly get enlightened?】

【Dog Brother doesn't know that this is just his illusion.】

Tiger of Fuyuki: "Oh! Cu Chulainn is indeed a good person, coming to help!"

Dog Brother: "Hahaha, let's forget the word 'good person'; I in the video was clearly acting on orders."

Rin Tohsaka: "What kind of tricks is that priest trying to pull again."

Blonde Rin: "However, how could you have the illusion that the priest has become better."

Dog Brother: "Haha (awkward laugh)..."

That point of himself in the video is really embarrassing; he actually thought Kirei Kotomine had become better because of a task.

You are too naive!

Kairi Sisigou: "But I really didn't expect that Invisible Air could be applied to others!"

Zabiko: "Does this count as opening a shield for others?"

Artoria: "Actually, it was always possible, but human bodies cannot withstand the pressure of Invisible Air; only Heroic Spirits can, and I have always fought alone in the Holy Grail War, without any trusted teammates, so..."

Jinako: "So you never had the chance to use it—this is very common. When I play games, some skill items don't even get used until the game is cleared."

【After Cu Chulainn leaves, Artoria looks at Archer and asks.】

【She can not interfere in the battle, but there is one thing that must be clarified.】

【"Archer, why do you want to kill Shirou? Kill another version of yourself?"】

【Archer: "... No reason. Just like he doesn't recognize me, I also cannot recognize him. Simply put, I just don't like Shirou Emiya."】

【Artoria: "How is this possible? Cannot recognize? You are Shirou, Shirou Emiya's own ideals, you who realized your ideals and became a Heroic Spirit, why would you have the stupid act of wanting to kill yourself?"】

【Archer: "Why would you think so? The immature Shirou Emiya and I, who am called the hero Emiya, are different individuals. Otherwise, we couldn't exist here at the same time."】

【Artoria: "So you became a Servant? Because you heard that if you become a Guardian outside the timeline, perhaps it's possible to be summoned to the era you lived in..."】

【"You are Shirou. The figure Shirou has always depicted in his heart and strived to realize is you. But why—"】

【"You say Guardian?"】

【Archer laughs at himself: "You're wrong, Saber. A Guardian is not a protector of humanity, but a cleaner, a cleaner who cleans up the disasters and messes caused by humans. This is completely different from the hero I hoped for in my heart!"】

【Artoria: "Shirou..."】

【Archer: "I did become a hero. Just as Shirou Emiya himself hoped, I became a messenger of justice. But the messenger of justice Shirou Emiya believes in is someone who 'will not hurt anyone'. It is someone who appears in various disasters and saves those victims. This is Shirou Emiya's ideal. But—"】

【"The duty of a messenger of justice in reality is to eradicate disasters that affect the human order, organizations that will destroy humanity. That is the work of eradicating evil."】
