Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

The violent shaking made it difficult for almost everyone to stand steadily on the clothes.

As for why not everyone, it's because Shirou Emiya was still standing steadily on the deck at the stern.

Having consistently trained diligently for a long time, his lower body was naturally very stable, and even such swaying only had a slight impact on Emiya Shirou.

"Has it started? I didn't expect you to be able to defeat me so quickly!"

Joan of Arc looked at the weapon in her hand and let out a self-deprecating laugh.

According to the original plan, the explosion should have occurred during the intense confrontation between Emiya Shirou and himself.

He also took advantage of the commotion and the instability of the ship to quickly leave the stern.

Then, following her plan as a strategist...

Upon discovering he was missing, his first priority was to go inside the ship to see what had happened and where the explosion had occurred, as well as to rescue those affected by the blast.

After keen observation and Jeanne's guidance on Shirou Emiya's path.

He will then find the culprit behind this explosion—the [Armed Detective Assassin].

And the person who has been controlling her and restricting her freedom.

When both sides were exhausted from their battle, Jeanne d'Arc reappeared and took Shirou Emiya away, bringing him into the organization.

This is the script she set up.

However, she underestimated Shirou Emiya and did not expect him to be so adept at dealing with ice magic.

It was just like when I fought an ice superhuman before.

In short, she miscalculated.

Emiya Shirou was too powerful, and he directly interrupted the script he had designed.

After all, why was she here before the "Armed Detective Assassin" operation?

One purpose was to provide time for the "Armed Detective Killer" operation, and the other was to test Shirou Emiya's superpowers.

She is also an S-class armed detective. Although she has always played an intelligence role, she is also very confident in her combat skills.

Joan of Arc was well prepared and engaged in battle with Shirou Emiya at the stern of her ship on the sea.

Launch a surprise attack when the fireworks are in full bloom.

She also collected a lot of information about Emiya Shirou.

Especially in terms of combat.

However, she knew all along that she couldn't beat Shirou Emiya. She only wanted to force Shirou Emiya to use his superpowers so that she could escape by using the explosion.

After all, Shirou Emiya's magical energy fluctuations are impossible to conceal, so he must possess some kind of superpower.

"Started what?! What do you know?!"

On the swaying ship, Shirou Emiya firmly grasped Jeanne d'Arc, staring intently into her eyes, and questioned her.

This is not the situation we had when we fought Joan of Arc.

The bomb exploded on this ship, and it's unknown how many innocent people will be injured or killed as a result.

Although the Tokyo Butei High School had prepared a rescue team in advance, it could only do its best to carry out the rescue.

From the stern, Shirou Emiya could even see the thick smoke rising from the side of the cruise ship.

"Boohoo!"

The sound of bullets slicing through the air echoed continuously inside the ship's cabin.

That resulted in an extremely fierce battle between the two sides.

"The Armed Detective Assassin has been located in Sector 56 of Cabin A."

Kinji Toyama, his hands pressed tightly against his earpiece, leaned against a cabinet where goods were stored and quietly reported the situation.

But all I got was a noisy electrical hum.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot!"

Beside Kinji Toyama, Aria held a pair of guns, one black and one silver, and kept firing bullets at the figure in the darkness.

In front of them, the sound moved rapidly between the shelves, dodging the bullets flying towards them.

In such a dim environment, only a faint figure could be seen in the shadows, holding two pistols in his hand.

The next second——

“Bang bang bang bang bang—!”

Amidst the muffled gunfire, bullets whizzed through the air, hurtling towards Aria's location.

Mars was extremely agitated on the shelf behind Aria.

"Damn it, I still can't get in touch with them!"

Feeling the vibration from behind, Kinji Toyama threw the headphones he was wearing onto the ground.

Unable to contact Shirou Emiya previously, the armed detectives on the ship began searching for him at almost the fastest speed.

Because the data on the surveillance footage had already been changed before they were able to contact Shirou Emiya.

At the Tokyo Butei High School, the surveillance cameras in the communications department were continuously playing footage from ten minutes prior.

If Kinji Toyama hadn't accidentally angered Aria and started a fight of their own, the communications department wouldn't have noticed the problem with the surveillance system.

After all, Kinji Toyama and Aria were fighting under surveillance, but they weren't even visible on the monitor.

In other words, they couldn't find Shirou Emiya's location at all based on the surveillance footage.

Almost everyone understood that the "Armed Detective Assassin" had taken action.

But before they could find Shirou Emiya, the explosion occurred.

……

The cruise ship, which was originally scheduled to circle the school island for better support, now seemed to have lost control and was heading towards the deep sea.

The entire cruise ship is now unable to communicate with the communications department, and there is no one at the helm to control it.

Not only Kinji Toyama, but everyone on Academy Island was extremely nervous.

At the moment of the explosion, Kinji Toyama saw a dark figure appear in the cockpit.

They quickly gave chase.

During their relentless pursuit, they arrived at this place.

"Since the [Armed Detective Assassins] dare to do such a thing right under the noses of the Armed Detective High, they must have made preparations. At least for the time being, they will be unable to provide support!"

Aria seemed to have known everything all along. He quickly changed the magazines on his two pistols and walked out from behind the shelf.

He exuded an extremely strong fighting spirit.

Seemingly unconcerned about the bullets coming from the other side, they simply stepped out from their cover.

"Aria!"

Kinji Toyama shouted, not expecting Aria to be so reckless as to rush out like that.

The fact that the "Armed Detective Assassin" was able to accomplish this series of events under the watchful eyes of so many people clearly indicates that he had accomplices.

A predatory gaze emerged from the shadows, looking unabashedly at Aria.

Come out, I already know who it is —

Aria spoke with absolute certainty, raising her two pistols and aiming them at the shelf in front of her.

"who is it?"

At this moment, Kinji Toyama also gripped the Beretta M-92F stainless steel pistol tightly in his hand, staring intently at everything in front of him.

"As expected of Sherlock Holmes IV, his eyesight is excellent."

As the light from the ceiling flickered, a figure that Kinji Toyama knew all too well gradually emerged from the shadows.

With an incredibly serene smile, she slowly emerged from the shadows, holding two pistols in her hands.

"Riko——"

Kinji Toyama murmured in disbelief.

"You're the [Armed Detective Assassin]? Why?"

Kinji Toyama covered his head, looking at Riko with utter bewilderment.

He couldn't believe that the "Armed Detective Killer" who killed so many Armed Detectives and caused Aria's mother to be imprisoned was actually Riko, who had always been by his side.

"My goal is very simple: to defeat her!"

A maniacal smile appeared on Riko's lips, a kind of madness and obsession that was frightening.

"Beat me?"

At this moment, Aria also began to feel confused. She didn't understand why Riko was so hostile towards her.

"Oh right, I don't think I've ever mentioned my full name to you guys before."

"Full name?"

Aria seemed to feel some kind of surge from her blood.

"Mine-Riko-Robin IV—"

As if she were talking about something insignificant, Riko slowly uttered her full name.

"Robin? That's not him!"

Kinji Toyama widened his eyes and looked at Aria beside him.

Arsène Lupin.

Although, in reality, neither Robin nor Holmes are real people.
