Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

As Medea said, this resistance was extremely painful, making her dare not relax for even a second.

This is how Artoria's current situation came about.

"Give up the resistance sooner rather than later; it'll be much easier if you're honest with yourself."

Medea sighed softly. She didn't want to force Artoria to comply; she wanted her to face reality.

[These kinds of things only bring happiness when both parties are willing.]

But Artoria ignored her and continued to resist.

Medea: "Such a stubborn Saber."

Gina: "Wow (;ロ), is this what they call 'XX'?"

Artoria: "(* /ω＼*)"

Zabizi: "Luckily, they were two women, otherwise it would have been 404 (a Chinese internet slang term for a page that is taken down by a thread)."

Feng Xi: "This is what they call 'switching genders and spending your life in jail.'"

Blonde Rin: "Brilliant! (*￣▽￣*)┛!"

Zig: "I've been wanting to ask this before, why isn't it illegal for women to act like hooligans?"

Leticia: "Zig, what have you been learning lately...?"

Lion Jie Li: "This question is very profound, and I'm afraid there is no formula to answer it."

"What are you doing, Caster?"

Just then, Souichirou Kuzuki slowly walked in from outside the church.

【"Souichiro-sama!"】

Medea turned around in alarm to look at Souichirou Kuzuki, like a child caught doing something wrong by their parent.

[At this moment, she was no longer the experienced driver she once was; instead, she had transformed into a naive young girl. She quickly ran up to Kuzuki Souichirou and asked, "Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to stay at Ryudouji Temple?"]

[Katsuki Souichirou: "I, Caster, was the one who asked the first question. I'm asking you what you're doing here?"]

He didn't have any master-servant mentality or look down on Medea; he was just a straightforward, honest man.

Medea: "That's how it is..."

After some discussion, Souichirou Kuzuki understood the current situation.

What could he say? Of course, he forgave her.

C's Mom: "..."

Wait, what is it about this expressionless guy that I like? Can you give me an answer quickly?!

Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka and Archer had arrived near the church. To avoid letting them down again, Rin decided to rest and recharge, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep.

She saw Red A's past again; this time, she saw the ending.

[Red Archer and Rin Tohsaka were not lovers during their lifetime; they were merely close friends. After completing their studies at the Clock Tower, they were assigned to the Whiplash class.]

Red A became a freelance magician, operating in places like the Middle East, pursuing his dream of becoming a 'partner of justice'.

However, not long after, he followed in Kiritsugu Emiya's footsteps, falling into a desperate situation due to his own lack of power.

That happened in 2014.

[The furnace core of a power plant has melted and gone berserk. Some employees have gone to safety, while others are trying their best to stop the furnace operation. Red A is among them.]

[Red A, wearing an insufficiently upgraded protective suit, headed towards the furnace core. His skin was melting from the intense heat, and he could only barely maintain his physical functions through magic. By the time he reached the control rod, he had reached his limit.]

Just when everything seemed beyond saving, the Great Deception's restraining force appeared.

Under the other party's persuasion, Red A signed a contract and successfully saved 500 people at the power plant, but his own body suffered a severe infection, leaving him with only two years to live.

Of course, their skin also turned darker.

[Afterwards, Archer continued to do everything in his power to save the weak, and even when powerless, he threw himself into the battle with the resolve to die.]

This part is quite ironic, because what he's doing now isn't much different from what he'll do as a Guardian later.

In the forests of South America, Red A, to prevent the spread of a biological disaster, killed all the staff and patients inside.

The Boy Scout who was once close to him is now a corpse.

[Several kilometers away, you can still see the smiling face of the white mastermind standing there, looking in this direction.]

[His fate took a completely different turn from Wuming's. He was framed by the very person he had saved, betrayed by his so-called companions, and sent to the gallows as the culprit of the conflict. He left with a satisfied smile, becoming a henchman of the Restraint Force.]

Unlike Wuming, Red A's ideology was worn down in endless cycles of reincarnation. He eventually realized that his immature ideals of justice were what had trapped him in his predicament, and began to resent his past self, seeking to escape the cycle.

In order to rewrite the past, he wanted to amplify the distortion by creating the contradiction of "killing his past self with his own hands," thereby causing the hero Emiya Shirou to disappear.

This is the past of Red A.

[Upon seeing this, Rin Tohsaka woke up, and seeing Archer looking at her, wisely refrained from mentioning the matter.]

The main objective now is still to defeat Medea.

Fuyuki no Tora: "Waaaaa ε(┬┬＿┬┬)3, Shirou, you idiot! Aren't I family to you? You just left like that!"

Red A: "..."

This is why he hates his past self so much now.

They only cared about their own so-called 'heroic' ideals and never considered the feelings of those who truly cared about them.

Blonde Rin: "Your future experiences will be quite similar to Wuming's."

Wuming: "Yeah..."

Wuming: "These are clearly two completely different worlds, yet the experiences and endings inexplicably repeat themselves. How ironic—"

Stay-at-home husband: "..."

Sigh, was the pressure on that version of myself in that world too much, causing me to go to extremes?

The next moment, Rin Tohsaka and Archer arrived at the church entrance, ready for battle.

"Let's go, we must defeat Caster here."

[Rin Tohsaka pushed open the door, saying, "This way, Saber will return to normal and re-form her contract with Shirou, right?"]

However, she didn't notice Red A's increasingly gloomy expression.

[Should we let someone like myself, whose ideas are still immature, get involved again?]

He originally planned to have Rin Tohsaka form a contract with the King, and there was no need to worry about the issue of contracting two Servants, since he could project Medea's Noble Phantasm as well.

However, he has now changed his mind.

Gina: "Oh no, judging from that expression, something unexpected is about to happen again."

Blonde Rin: "When Archer showed this expression before, he was about to kill Shirou Emiya. Now—"

Zabiko: "Huh? Well, he shouldn't harm you in that world, right?"

Wuming: "No, that's hard to say."

Wuming: "After all, the other me in the video has clearly gone to the other extreme."

Red A: "..."

"Come on, this time there are no hostages, so we can have a good fight."

[As soon as Rin Tohsaka entered the room and saw Medea 'torturing' Artoria, her expression turned icy, and she said in a deep voice.]

"Are you planning to defeat me in a magical battle?"

Medea tilted her head, as if she had heard the funniest joke of the century.

"That depends on the actual methods used. Fortunately, you haven't completely controlled Saber either. Besides, we already know what methods Master Kuzuki uses; he's no match for my Archer."

Rin Tohsaka confidently declared, "Go, Pikachu (archer)!"

【"learn."】

Red A stepped forward slowly and said, "Let's do it the way we prepared, Rin."

"Yeah, even if it means going bankrupt, it's not a big deal."

Rin Tohsaka held five bright red gems in her hand; her tactics had already taken shape in her mind.

She was prepared to go bankrupt; today, she was determined to make that arrogant and conceited caster walk right into her trap.

Chapter 504 Red A's Reversal

Magical Girl Rin Tohsaka: "They really went all out..."

Looking at the handful of gems in the video, she felt a little heartbroken.

"How adorable!"

Medea hovered in mid-air, surrounded by dozens of orbs of light, watching Rin Tohsaka with amusement.

"You think you have a chance in a one-on-one fight? Have you forgotten that I can have Saber? If I use a Command Spell right now, Saber will turn into my puppet."

Although she said that, she did not order Artoria to take action.

[In her heart, she probably thought it unnecessary to deal with a third-rate magician like Rin Tohsaka; she would show this girl the difference between a magician from the Age of Gods and a modern magician.]
