Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Rin Tohsaka cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground, following in Medea's footsteps.

[Her arm bones were fractured, and she was in excruciating pain.]

As for Shirou Emiya, who went to hold off Souichirou Kuzuki, he had already fallen.

[She overestimated this guy, thinking that because he had previously unleashed his full power and forced Kuzuki Souichirou to retreat, he could be considered his equal.]

[The plan failed; Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka both perished.]

If no miracle occurs, their fates will end here.

Rin Tohsaka: "Wait! Weren't you pretty good before? How come you've become such a liability at this crucial moment?!"

Stay-at-home husband: (with a wry smile)

Can you blame him? Don't forget his injuries haven't healed yet. It's already quite good that he was able to hold off Souichirou for so long.

Gina: "Unfortunately, it seems the comeback has failed."

Koles: "Now we really have to pray for a miracle."

Dog Bro: "Hahaha, looks like I'll have to save the day."

Red A: "Hmph, you'll have to get past me first."

"You missed a golden opportunity. You had four chances to kill her, but you couldn't bring yourself to do it."

[Katsuki Souichirou looked coldly at Tohsaka Rin and said this to Medea.]

As his husband and master, he could only try his best to make up for his wife's kindness and naiveté.

[Even though she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless, she insisted on saying cruel things in front of the enemy, things that were completely out of character for her.]

["Thank you, Soichiro-sama..."]

Medea said guiltily, "If it weren't for Lord Souichirou, I might have been defeated."

[Katsuki Souichirou: "This is no opponent to be underestimated. Quickly awaken Saber."]

"Yes, that's a clear judgment, Master."

Medea nodded, preparing to use a Command Spell to directly control Saber, allowing her to eliminate Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya in front of her.

This time, she won't be soft-hearted.

Not far away, Artoria lay on the ground, watching all this unfold helplessly.

She was constantly resisting the Command Seals' corruption, and her consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

If Artoria truly understood Medea's personality, she might have agreed to cooperate with her. Unfortunately, Medea is far too clumsy in communicating with others.

[The reason why things have escalated to this point with Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya is also due to this.]

Communication is sometimes very important; it can prevent many unnecessary troubles.

Magical Girl Illya: "Indeed, if both sides could communicate properly, the battle might have been avoided."

Rin Tohsaka: "Hey, hey. This has nothing to do with us. Don't forget, this woman attacked right from the start."

Mom C: "Hmph—"

Speaking of communication, she was quite eloquent when she was younger, when did she become like this...?

As expected, Jason was the culprit!

Artoria: "ヽ(*.Д)o゜"

No, even if she tries to communicate properly, she will never get close to this woman.

She really didn't want to be dragged into cosplay again.

"Yes. The condition is—if it could be a few seconds earlier."

Just then, Red A appeared on the second floor, raising his hand to aim at Medea and Souichirou Kuzuki.

He won this gamble.

He knew it; even if others called this woman a witch, she would still have a soft heart.

"Projection—Start!"

Without showing any mercy, Red A struck swiftly and ruthlessly, dozens of sharp iron swords appearing behind Kuzuki Souichirou's head, ready to take his life.

【"Oops!"】

Medea, having witnessed this, frantically ran towards Souichirou Kuzuki.

She was severely injured by Rin Tohsaka before, and she can't use magic at all now.

【"Soichiro!!!"】

The next moment, Medea pushed Souichirou Kuzuki away, taking the brunt of the sword rain for him.

Chapter 552 The Stubborn Emiya Shirou

【"Puff puff puff—"

Dozens of iron swords pierced the ground, four or five of them penetrating Medea's delicate body.

[Medea, already severely injured, had her heart's spiritual core destroyed in an instant, leaving her utterly beyond saving.]

C's Mom: "!!!"

I thought Rin Tohsaka was shameless enough, but I never expected Archer to be even more shameless.

The person in the video never expected to falter at this crucial moment.

Rin Tohsaka: "I guessed this guy had ulterior motives, but I never expected this..."

Red A: "Hmph, this is tactic. Don't you understand that all's fair in war?"

Fuyuki no Tora: "So Shirou has such a despicable side too."

Ilya: "Hehehe, that's naughty enough, I like it."

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

[The black cloak fell from her head, revealing Medea's stunning beauty to everyone for the first time. She looked weakly at Souichirou Kuzuki, wanting to check if he was alright.]

Thankfully, Kuzuki Souichirou was unharmed, and her heart finally settled down.

Then, she collapsed into Souichirou Kuzuki's arms.

【"..."】

Looking at Medea, covered in blood and beyond saving, in his arms, Souichirou Kuzuki felt a surge of emotion within him, an urge to express himself to the woman before him, yet he didn't know how to utter the words.

"Ah...are you alright, Master..."

[Dragging her nearly vanished body, Medea looked up at Souichirou Kuzuki, her slender fingers lifting to stroke his expressionless face.]

[Katsuki Souichirou: "Hmm..."]

"That's great... I would be so troubled if you died..."

At this point, Medea no longer cared about being betrayed by Archer.

[She, on the verge of disappearing, now only wants to lie quietly in the arms of her beloved for a while.]

Listening to Souichirou Kuzuki's heartbeat, Medea's thoughts became extremely calm.

"But it's such a shame, I finally found my wish after so much trouble..."

[Katsuki Souichirou: "There's no need to lament. I will grant your wish."]

This is no longer possible... because my wish was just fulfilled...

Medea smiled happily and said, "It's already come true."

The embrace of a loved one is the homeland one longs to return to.

[By lying in Souichirou's arms, Medea had already fulfilled her wish.]

The Holy Grail is something she only fights for so she can live a peaceful life with the person she loves.

And so, Medea left with a smile, leaving behind only Souichirou Kuzuki, who remained motionless for a long time.

People's teacher: "..."

Even the usually composed Kuzuki Souichirou couldn't help but feel a slight unease at this moment.

Ta-Miao: "Sigh..."

Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Medea.

How could Jason not have cherished such a good woman?

["Pfft—"]

[Another sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and blood flowed onto the ground.]

[Red A, expressionless, watched as Kuzuki Souichirou collapsed and deactivated the projection.]

Souichirou Kuzuki, deceased.

Although Medea has left the scene, this man remains a threat and cannot be let go.

C's Mom: "Red A, you bastard!!!"
