Chapter 615

[Ding! The quiz will begin in ten minutes, please prepare yourselves, group members.]

Time flew by, and it was the next day's quiz time again.

Last night was a peaceful night, with nothing happening, just like—

The final tranquility before the disaster descends.

[Ding! 'People's Teacher' has joined the group chat.]

Fuyuki Tiger: "People's teacher, is it Teacher Kuzuki!"

People's teacher: "..."

Rin Tohsaka: "Not speaking, it really is Teacher Kuzuki."

Caster: "Lord Soichiro, have you finally joined the group!"

People's teacher: "..."

Private Homurahara Academy, faculty office.

Regarding this suddenly appearing projection screen, Soichiro Kuzuki doesn't show it on his face, but internally he has raised his vigilance to the maximum, his whole body's muscles also in a state ready to explode at any time.

He looks around carefully, confirming that other teachers cannot see this screen.

Winter break is about to end, and these teachers have all come early today to prepare.

"That, Teacher Kuzuki."

Just then, Taiga Fujimura finds Soichiro Kuzuki, winking and gesturing: "Can you come here for a moment, I have something to find you for."

"..."

Ignoring Taiga Fujimura's antics, Soichiro Kuzuki still follows her.

He also wants to figure out what this thing is.

The two go all the way to the roof, and Taiga Fujimura tries her best to explain the Q&A group to Soichiro Kuzuki in simple terms.

Although a bit vague, Soichiro Kuzuki barely understands.

A group connecting parallel worlds, able to see things that will happen in the future.

Sounds a bit like a fantasy, but now the facts are right in front of him, he has no choice but to believe it.

And that one called Caster, the self of another world actually proposed to her.

Love, huh...

Didn't expect that I would also possess this kind of thing...

[Ding! The first question is about to begin!]

[This question is a multiple-choice question; please watch the following video and then make a correct judgment.]

[Answering time 1 minute, correct answer rewards 1 Saint Quartz, wrong answer deducts 1 Saint Quartz.]

[The video below starts, please pay attention to watching the video.]

[Rin Tohsaka and Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya walk pathetically on the empty street, licking each other's wounds (which is comforting each other).]

[They can be said to have failed completely in this battle with Caster; not only was Artoria not saved, Taiga-nee's magic wasn't lifted, and Red Archer also chose to betray, kicking Rin Tohsaka out of the game.]

[That they can save their lives now is considered Caster's kindness.]

[The exhausted pair find a place in the cemetery to sit down, reflecting back-to-back.]

Caules: "Truly lonely."

Caster: "Hehe, I still like watching your unyielding expressions."

Rin Tohsaka: "You guy, getting the benefit and still acting innocent!"

[The night view is not bad, a waning moon hangs in mid-air, and brilliant stars fill the sky.]

[Looking at this beautiful night sky makes both of them feel that the pain of their wounds has decreased a lot.]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya is very confused, not knowing what to do next, can only let himself forget everything for now and look up at this beautiful night sky.]

[Rin Tohsaka's thoughts are also completely lost.]

[She still hasn't figured out why Red Archer would betray her; is she really that bad.]

[Rin Tohsaka constantly asks and answers herself in her heart, asking herself with emotions of self-blame, guilt, unwillingness, annoyance, and "urusai".]

["That, Tohsaka, what are you saying..."]

[Hearing Rin Tohsaka's movement, Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya also comes back to his senses, asking in a low voice.]

[Rin Tohsaka: ".....Nothing, just talking to myself."]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya: "..."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "...I perhaps, made a mistake."]

["If I followed what Archer said, and defeated Caster by any means necessary from the beginning, it would have been fine."]

["I minded the small sacrifices, calculating the chances of success. As a result..."]

["If this continues, everyone here will become a sacrifice, right."]

Red Archer: "(~︶~)"

Hmm, not bad.

Although she didn't hit the point, at least she has realized where the disagreement between her and him lies.

[Rin Tohsaka: "I don't want to complain about anything... I always mess up the most important things; clearly I can do the secondary things well, but, I always fail at the important moments... drop the chain..."]

[At this moment, Rin Tohsaka hates herself for being useless.]

[It's all because she's useless that Red Archer would choose to do this.]

[She doesn't blame Red Archer, because rationally analyzing, it's normal for a servant to do this, to choose this; it's the most normal thing.]

["Archer defecting to the enemy isn't entirely his responsibility. In the end, I'm the one who left Caster alone. However..."]

[Rin Tohsaka is silent for a long time, mocking herself: "Seriously, just said those words not long ago, and suddenly I'm pushed to a dead end."]

[Just boasted that she would defeat the enemy with Red Archer, and it ended up like this...]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya: "..."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "..."]

["Hey hey, you should have asked further here!"]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya: "Ah? That... what are you pushed to a dead end by? Tohsaka."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Hmm, it's just that I said I didn't want to regret it. Although he said, I am a person who won't regret it, but now is a critical moment. Just hearing you say that, I feel even more like a failure, falling into depression."]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya: "(─.─||)"]

[Although he doesn't understand what Rin Tohsaka is saying, Red Archer was right; she really is the kind of person who will absolutely not regret it.]

Fuyuki Tiger: "Oh! Emiya Emiya Shirou, you guy, how did you become a block of wood at this time!"

Illya: "Hehe, looks like Emiya Emiya Shirou of any world is the same, just as dull."

Househusband: "(─__─)"

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya: "That's only for now. Although I'm annoyed, I agree with Archer's opinion; you don't need to reflect at all."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "...Why? Now not only is Caster acting recklessly, even Archer has abandoned me. Isn't it all because my strategy was wrong?"]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya: "It's just failure, it's not your fault. Because there was no mistake, so even if you fail, you can hold your head high."]

["I also won't regret it, believing that my actions are correct."]

[Failure doesn't mean you did anything wrong.]

[A person walking on the right path, doing the right thing, that is correct.]

[Rin Tohsaka: "..."]

[Although it sounds like Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya's life portrayal, it makes Rin Tohsaka feel much better.]

Fuyuki Tiger: "Sorry, I spoke too soon (〃^▽^〃)."

This kid Emiya Emiya Shirou, isn't he quite good at flirting.

Looks like this kid is just pretending to be serious usually.

[After settling their mood, the two return to the Emiya house together.]

[They need to recuperate well now.]

[Taking this opportunity, Rin Tohsaka also guides Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya to learn the correct techniques for using Projection Magic, and explains the basic concepts and fantasy logic of Projection Magic to him one by one.]

[Willpower is firm, fantasy experience is rich.]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya being able to project Kanshou and Bakuya before was actually just imitating Red Archer; he didn't even know what Kanshou and Bakuya were.]

[To learn and succeed, one must have one's own projection; this can't be rushed.]

[At the same time, the two didn't give up on dealing with Caster; after all, Taiga-nee is still in a coma.]

[After some discussion, they finally decide to go to the Einzbern Castle to find Illya for help.]

[After all, there is no other way now.]

Illya: "Hehe, Emiya Emiya Shirou really can't do without me in the end."

Rin Tohsaka: "Hehe, be careful not to fall."

Illya: "Absolutely impossible, because Berserker is the strongest!"

Berserker: "AAAAAAAA——"
