Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Page 599

Afu: "That's right, I don't want to be scolded by someone like that."

Sun King: "Hehe, not bad performance. You've successfully lowered the bar for humanity."

It's foreseeable that if Shinji Matou dares to show up at today's final live-action event, he'll definitely suffer a terrible fate.

Meanwhile, at an abandoned gas station on the road leading to Ryudouji Temple, Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka were lying in wait.

Footsteps sounded on the quiet road. A man with an umbrella approached; it was Souichirou Kuzuki.

After confirming that Ryudou Kazunari was not the Master, the two continued their investigation along the lines of Ryudou Temple, eventually leading them to Kuzuki Souichirou.

[Soichiro Kuzuki also lives at Ryudou-ji Temple!]

Furthermore, Soichiro Kuzuki was not seen after the incident at the school yesterday.

Fuyuki no Tora: "Huh? So Kuzuki-sensei also lives at Ryudou-ji Temple?"

Househusband: "So he lives with Ichisei. I've never heard him mention it before."

[There are many suspicious points surrounding Souichirou Kuzuki, so Shirou Emiya and Shirou decided to use this method to test his true nature.]

[Shirou Emiya even went so far as to find a bamboo stick to use as a weapon; quite the expert!]

What the two considered a flawless plan was actually incredibly foolish, because their most crucial asset, Red A, wasn't there.

[The other person got yelled at by Rin Tohsaka during the day, and now who knows where they've gone to slack off again.]

Artoria did arrive, hiding in the nearby forest, watching Souichirou Kuzuki.

[But if the opponent is truly a Master, then Caster will definitely appear. With his King weakened to a pulp, how could he possibly be a match for the opponent?]

I wonder if those two young people have considered this.

Fuyuki no Tora: "You guys are really brave..."

Rin Tosaka: "(.?ˇェˇ??)"

Househusband: "(￣ー￣*|||"

The video just now clearly shows that Souichirou Kuzuki is a hidden master, the kind who can kill with a single move. If Saber is held back by Caster, then Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka's chances of defeating Souichirou Kuzuki are probably less than one in ten.

Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin in the video were indeed too reckless.

Just as Shirou Emiya was about to make his move, Rin Tohsaka struck first, firing a Weakness Magic Bullet directly at Souichirou Kuzuki.

[Katsuki Souichirou was hit and fell to the ground, his umbrella burning as it lay nearby.]

This is Rin Tohsaka's method: simple and direct.

Even if they guess wrong, the other party will only be weak for a few days.

[Shirou Emiya was very displeased with Rin Tohsaka's behavior and went to help Souichirou Kuzuki up.]

He had always harbored doubts about whether Kuzuki Souichirou was truly his Master, especially given the latter's close relationship with Ryudou Kazunari.

However, he would soon no longer need to worry about it.

Chapter 496: My King's Shameful Battle

(Soichiro Kuzuki)

"I should have warned you, Lord Soichiro. It's because of what happened that you should have stayed at Ryudouji Temple."

[C-Mom appeared beside Souichirou Kuzuki, sneering at the two kids at the gas station.]

"That's not entirely true."

[Katsuki Souichirou got up from the ground and calmly took off his glasses.]

"In fact, the prey has already taken the bait."

Lion Jie Li: "As expected, these two children are too naive."

Gold: "We've been completely outmaneuvered by them."

Rin Tohsaka: "(￣△￣)??"

[The confirmation of Souichirou Kuzuki's identity has finally made Shirou Emiya unable to hold back.]

He simply couldn't understand why a respectable teacher like Souichirou Kuzuki would collude with C-Mama.

He wanted to know whether Souichirou Kuzuki was being controlled by C-Mama, or whether it was driven by his own desires.

[But Souichirou Kuzuki told him that none of them were true.]

[No matter how much Shirou Emiya and the others fight amongst themselves, it has nothing to do with me.]

He'll just stand here and watch.

This indifferent attitude left Shirou Emiya even more confused.

He wanted to know what this teacher had gone through in the past.

Waver: "It feels like I'm watching another Kiritsugu Emiya."

Kenneth: "No, this guy feels even colder than Kiritsugu Emiya back then."

Sharpshooter Li: "A very pure person."

Sharpshooter Li: "It's a kind of purity that doesn't care about anything."

Zabi: "Just say numb."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "...Assassin."

Househusband: "Huh?"

Kiritsugu Emiya: "This guy is probably an assassin."

Fuyuki no Tora: "Killer! The kind from the movies?"

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Yes, I've met him before. He reminds me a lot of those guys."

While Shirou Emiya was still dawdling, Rin Tohsaka and Artoria took action immediately.

They had already planned this: once they confirmed the other party's identity, they would launch a surprise attack on Kuzuki Souichirou and carry out a decapitation strike.

[You absolutely must not let Mom C get entangled with you.]

[Video paused.]

[Question: What will be the outcome if Souichirou and his companion fight against Artoria and her two companions?]

[A: Kuzuki Souichirou and his partner win.]

[B: Artoria and her two teammates win.]

[C: A third party intervenes, and the battle is aborted.]

[D: The battle is at a stalemate; both sides retreat.]

[You have 1 minutes to answer the questions. Please begin now.]

Sun King: "Looks like he still has some brains; he didn't just launch a reckless attack without a plan."

Rin Tohsaka: "Damn it (f*** you)..."

Having one glittering guy in the group was annoying enough, but now there's another one.

Magical Girl Rin Tohsaka: "Shall we determine the outcome of the battle between King Arthur and Souichirou Kuzuki this time?"

Magical Girl Luvia: "Not only that, this time it's not a one-on-one battle, but a team battle, which adds some unpredictability."

Blonde Rin: "Even in a two-on-three situation, the chances of the three Knight Kings winning are still too small, unless Red A can arrive in time to provide support."

Zabiko: "In that case, I guess it's a C."

Gina: "Don't forget about Shinji Matou from before, he might come out and cause trouble."

Zabi: "Oh dear (≧皿≦)! Don't complicate things again!"

Gina: "Sorry, I'm used to playing games."

Amidst the chaotic speculation, a minute quickly passed.

[The answers will now be revealed.]

【"boom——"】

Artoria stomped her foot on the ground and charged towards Souichirou Kuzuki.

[C-Mother, of course, didn't sit idly by. She unleashed a series of magic spells on Artoria, but none of them had any effect.]

Even though Artoria was nerfed drastically because of her Master Shirou Emiya, her Class Skill levels remain unchanged.

Her A-rank magic resistance gives her a certain advantage when facing Caster.

She can ignore any magic that isn't at least A-rank in power.
