The air was filled with a pungent, fishy stench.

Something was wriggling on the surrounding pipe walls.

This environment, filled with the unknown and disgusting, is truly torturous to one's mind.

Shirou led Rin by the hand and headed deeper into the sewers.

In fact, it's no longer Shirou holding Rin's hand; it's Rin who's gripping his hand tightly and refusing to let go.

If she were alone, Rin might actually be braver.

But now that Shirou is protecting her, Rin's vulnerable side seems to have found its anchor, and she leans towards Shirou.

"Ah ...

The girl suddenly cried out in surprise. Rin, who had been holding Shirou's right hand with both hands, was startled and began to burrow into Shirou's arms.

"what happened?"

Shirou lowered his head, looking at the girl's face, which was almost touching his chin, and asked with some confusion.

"Just now... something crawled onto my leg...!"

Rin said, her voice trembling and choked with sobs.

Upon hearing this, Shirou bent down and reached out to touch Rin's smooth and slender calves. Even though she was in a state of fear, Rin did not resist at all when her skin was touched.

After some searching, Shirou looked at the small water stain on Rin's leg with a bit of speechlessness.

"It's just a little bit of dirty water splashed on it, you're making too much of a fuss."

Upon hearing that this was the reason, Rin blushed with shame.

"I'm so sorry..."

"All a dignified young lady can do is say sorry?" Shirou raised an eyebrow.

"Yes...no...sob...I'm sorry..."

Rin lowered her head, somewhat incoherently.

Unexpectedly, the usually arrogant young lady became so soft and sweet at this moment, appearing much more obedient and adorable.

As Shirou felt a pang of emotion, he looked down at Rin's small face.

"Can we continue walking?"

"can……"

Rin blushed and nodded.

It was only at this moment that Rin belatedly realized what Shirou had done to her.

The first time a boy had touched her skin like that, the strange sensation of his warm palms covering her legs made Rin's cheeks burn uncontrollably.

"Waaah..."

Looking at the back of the boy who was walking ahead of her, holding her hand, Rin felt her heart race.

Some indescribable feelings brewed in my heart.

As they continued forward, they arrived at the depths of this magic workshop, which resembled a magical paradise.

Even though Gilles de Rais has already fled, the magic workshop that was built will only disappear once Gilles de Rais's spirit origin, which was formed by the Holy Grail, is completely shattered, provided it remains intact.

Therefore, deep within these sewers, aquatic monsters with countless tentacles roam, waiting to strangle the intruders.

“Projection”

Shirou continuously projected C-rank swords, sending them hurtling out to defeat the aquatic monsters one by one.

"It's resolved, Rin. Let's move on."

As he spoke, Shirou took the girl's soft little hand and led her little by little deeper into the area.

Shirou was actually mentally prepared to face all sorts of bizarre scenes.

However, he still felt nauseous when he saw the scene inside.

Rin's eyes also lost focus at that moment.

If it were just a lot of corpses, even if the bodies were mutilated beyond recognition, they would still be just corpses. Although they were disgusting, they wouldn't make Shirou feel nauseous.

To give you an example, this place is practically like a general store.

There was furniture, clothing, musical instruments, and tableware, as well as some pictorial items whose purpose was unclear.

That's right, Ryunosuke Uryu and Gilles de Rais turned living people into these kinds of things.

"As expected, that guy died too easily..."

Recalling the scene of killing Ryunosuke Uryu, Shirou gritted his teeth in disgust.

Having experienced death, Shirou felt nauseous at the sight of such mental pollution, not to mention Rin behind him.

Having never witnessed such a terrifying sight before, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, immediately beginning to vomit.

"Ugh! Ugh!!"

Shirou didn't have the time to comfort Rin; he began searching anxiously for the sound of the zither.

Fortunately, Qin Yin and several other children were blindfolded with strips of cloth, their mouths were taped shut, and they were tied up in a shadowy corner.

Because of Shirou's unexpected attack today, they haven't yet fallen victim to Gilles de Rais's clutches.

Having confirmed the situation, Shirou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 48 Gilgamesh: Something seems off!

Shirou untied the children who had been tied up.

"You all know the way home, right?"

The children nodded repeatedly while weeping bitterly.

"Waaaaah...!!" ×N

Staying in this sewer was too disgusting, so Shirou took Kotone and Rin to the street outside.

Then, looking back at the sewer opening, he raised his right hand.

When he left the magic workshop, he had already arranged for the sword to be inside.

"Fantasy Collapse!"

In less than half a second, the ground began to tremble.

The sewer pipes burst open in an instant.

BOOM!

A strong stench instantly filled the air.

Shirou quickly projected an umbrella to protect Rin and Kotone from getting dirty.

The massive commotion gradually subsided.

All was quiet, and the stars twinkled.

Even at this moment, Kotone was still tightly holding Shirou's waist, her body trembling uncontrollably with lingering fear.

"Chiki-kun... Waaah...!"

Having survived the ordeal, Kotone buried her face in Shirou's chest and began to cry uncontrollably.

"It's all over now."

Shirou comforted her.

Perhaps influenced by the music, Rin, who was being led by Shirou's hand, also threw herself into Shirou's arms and began to cry.

"Waaaaah...!!"

"No, you two...!?"

Shirou felt the chill of his clothes being soaked with tears and looked at them with a touch of helplessness.

After being rescued, Qin Yin was completely exhausted.

Overwhelmed by fear, her legs went weak and she could not walk.

There was no other way, so Shirou had to carry her on his back.

Rin was so frightened that she clung tightly to Shirou's hand, as if it were her only lifeline.

And so, Shirou carried one on his back and held the other by the hand.

Like an old father carrying two burdens, he boarded the tram home.

……

Watching the boy and girl walk away into the distance.

It is located on the top steel beam of the Weiyuanchuan Bridge viaduct.

An ominous shadow is quietly emerging.
