One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

Emiya Shirou wanted to know more, but Byakuya didn't want to continue. He waved to a few people, turned around, and disappeared into quantum form...

——He's out here to have fun, so he should just cover the damage. Besides, if he tells everything, what's the point afterwards?

256. Meeting with Father Mapo

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing Bai Ye coming out of the house, Red A quickly appeared beside Bai Ye through spirit transformation and asked in a very serious tone. He really didn't like this kind of uncertainty.

"That's not necessary~"

In response, Bai Ye simply spread his hands, completely ignoring Hong A's serious tone, "I know you, the guardian from the future. Do you really want to change the past?"

!!!

Hearing this, Red A's pupils suddenly contracted. His assessment of Bai Ye increased several levels, and his eyes became sharper. "What do you know?"

"I only know what I know."

Bai Ye brushed it off lightly. Although Red A was not bad, it still posed no threat to him.

He ignored Red A's gaze and walked out of the courtyard. After a while, his voice continued, "You don't want that kid to follow your path, right?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Haha, it's nothing~ It's just... maybe we can have a basis for cooperation."

Bai Ye tilted his head slightly, revealing a bit of his profile, which added a touch of mystery under the moonlight. "Being a guardian isn't easy. Just like you now, aren't you already starting to get tired of it?"

"...So, what is your purpose?"

Red A slowly walked to Bai Ye's side and stood beside him, meeting Bai Ye's gaze with a serious expression.

"It's Sakura. You should know what kind of magic that Matou family uses. That child has suffered so much, I hope someone can take good care of her."

Red A was silent for a while. After all, he was a woman in trouble, so he knew a lot of things. "So you chose that boy?"

"After all, Sakura likes him, doesn't she?"

Having said that, Bai Ye's eyes were fixed on Hong A beside him, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Being stared at like that by Bai Ye, even Hong A couldn't stand it. After all, he felt guilty. He silently changed the subject, "Why Sakura? There shouldn't be anything special about her."

"Why, are you afraid that I have other intentions?"

Hong A didn't say it explicitly, but Bai Ye still heard the hidden meaning, "Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything to her. Although it's not her, Sakura is indeed my sister."

"...Is that so? No wonder I had no impression of it."

Bai Ye's words were a bit confusing, but as a guardian, Red A understood them all—parallel worlds! After all, he had been working in different eras and worlds for a long time.

After initially figuring out Bai Ye's purpose, Red A stopped staring at him and transformed into a spirit and left the courtyard.

At this moment, the door behind Bai Ye opened, and Tousaka Rin, Emiya Shirou and others walked out... Obviously, Shinji and the others still failed to persuade Emiya Shirou to make up his mind.

"Brother Bai Ye, we're going to go to the church. Do you want to come with us?"

"No, go by yourselves~"

"OK then."

Seeing that Bai Ye had no intention of getting involved, although Shinji felt regretful, he didn't say anything and set off with a few others.

……

When the group arrived at the church, Saber and Red A stayed outside on guard, letting Tōsaka Rin, Emiya Shirou and the others go in on their own. This was really simple and honest.

You should know that in the Fourth World War, magicians basically do not show up unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if there is something to discuss, they will let their familiars participate.

"They're still too naive. But that's true. They're just a few students after all. They're certainly not on the same level as the ones from the last round. And Gilgamesh isn't here either. Maybe he's gone somewhere?"

In the woods near the church, Bai Ye was leaning leisurely against a tree with his arms folded across his chest, as if he was waiting to see a good show.

Inside the church, Father Mapo was hidden in the darkness, with only a few candles providing faint light, which gave the church a somewhat eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

"It's rare for you to come to my place, but you brought some strange people with you, Rin~"

In the darkness, Father Mapo turned around, his tone hinting at a hint of joy. "So, Rin, could you introduce me to these two people?"

"Emiya Shirou, the seventh Master."

Since the question wasn't directed at Shirou, it was Tousaka Rin who answered. Before she could continue her introduction, Father Mapo suddenly laughed, leaving her a little confused for a moment.

After Emiya Kiritsugu died, Father Mapo was not interested in his adopted son, so he did not recognize Emiya Shirou.

He had never imagined that he would hear the name "Emiya" again here, in the Fifth Holy Grail War. Haha, what a fate!

He was a little impatient to talk to the other person, but considering that there was still someone who hadn't spoken, he suppressed his emotions and turned his gaze to Shinji, "So what about this person?"

"nameless."

In Shinji's world, Kotomine Kirei is also a pleasure offender, but not so twisted. Because of Kallen, they have a good relationship.

But this time, even if he was just watching from afar, Shinji could sense something was amiss—something wasn't quite right with Father Mapo.

That was why Shinji didn't want to say anything more to him and just gave him the obviously fake name "Wuming".

"Nameless?"

Father Mapo didn't think too much about this. After all, it wasn't Shinji he was interested in. "I'm Kotomine Kirei. Emiya Shirou, you're Saber's Master, right?"

"I did sign a contract with Saber, but honestly, the concept of Master... I don't understand it at all. If that requires a legitimate magus, I think it would be better to re-select."

The main character is honesty. Shirou Emiya has no scheming at all and reveals his true identity casually.

"That won't do. If you don't join me, where will I find fun~"

"Oh, I see. This is a serious problem."

Father Mapo stepped down from the podium and, in the darkness, approached Emiya Shirou, offering him a lesson on the Holy Grail War. He especially addressed the name "Emiya Shirou," his tone hinting at a hint of amusement.

As Tōsaka Tokiomi's most "filial" disciple, he successfully inherited the duo act of that year. Although he was alone this time, it still revolved around Emiya Shirou.

(This is this, this is this~)

However, even though Father Mapo said a lot, Emiya Shirou still didn't want to participate, until...

——Xindu is on fire!

Until this moment, Shirou Emiya finally made up his mind to participate in this Holy Grail War and win it! He didn't want that tragedy to happen again.

"Something's really wrong~"

Shinji, on the other hand, kept a close eye on Father Mapo, keenly aware of the difference between him and "Kotomine Kirei." It seemed he'd have to be more cautious from now on, or he might get tricked.

257. Berserker Attacks

In the end, Father Mapo did nothing and watched Shirou Emiya and the others leave the church.

Saber had been waiting outside for a long time, and came over wearing a raincoat. Immediately afterwards, Emiya Shirou made another agreement with her, deciding to participate in the Holy Grail War.

The group began to walk back.

Because Shinji was there, the atmosphere was actually quite tense... If they started a fight at this time, they would be attacked by the other two, right? Of course, Tōsaka Rin was considerate of Sakura and didn't intend to use any harsh measures against Shirou.

After all, they are just a few students and cannot use the decapitation tactics against the Master.

!!!

While Tōsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou were chatting, Saber suddenly rushed forward, taking a defensive stance. At the same time, Shinji also took out Tensa Zangetsu.

"What's wrong, you guys..."

After all, he was just an ordinary magician, so Rin Tōsaka didn't react for a moment. But when she followed their gaze... she saw a pitch-black giant appear at the end of the street.

"Berserker?!"

——They were blocked by people!

Realizing this, Tohsaka Rin immediately used her Master's ability to check Berserker's ability value, and then said, "It's really scary, but judging purely by the ability value, that guy... is actually above Saber."

"That's right. With that guy's strength alone, even fighting one against six is ​​no problem."

Hidden in the shadows, Red A also chimed in. No one knew the other party's strength better than him! After all, he was also Shirou Emiya, and he had really been chopped by Uncle B in the past.

"Archer!"

As an excellent magus, Tousaka Rin quickly assessed the situation, unlike Shirou who just stood there. "Looks like you have to stick to your job this time."

"So what should we do on defense? Rin won't be able to withstand that guy's charge, right?"

"There's always a way."

This wasn't said by Rin, but by Shinji. Although Berserker was very strong and made him very wary, he could still just stop him...right?

"Yes, that's it."

Toosaka Rin chimed in. She was the Master, and Red A would only listen to her.

"learn."

At this point, after receiving Toosaka Rin's order, Red A replied concisely and clearly, and then a cloud of dust rose on the ground - he had already set off to a suitable sniper point.

"Wait, that looks like Illya?"

In Shinji's world, Illya didn't undergo a major transformation, but perhaps it was the will of the universe? She still didn't grow up, and her small size left a deep impression on Shinji.

After all, Illya is the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu, so she and Emiya Shirou should be...sister or brother?

However, considering that the situation was hostile, Shinji did not say it out loud to disrupt the morale of the army.

"Have you discussed it?"

At the other end of the street, Illya put her hands behind her back. Her voice sounded very cute, but what she said was: "Then let's kill~ Go ahead, Berserker."

"Roar--!"

Accompanied by a terrifying roar, Uncle B's muscles bulged, faintly gleaming with a red glow. At this moment, he was like a ferocious beast awakening from a deep sleep, erupting with an extremely powerful and ferocious aura.

Then, Uncle B tensed his muscles and leaped across most of the street, falling towards the direction of Shinji and the others.

"Shirou, retreat!"

Saber quickly greeted Shirou and prepared to attack. However, Red A was faster, and several streams of red light fell and hit Uncle B with precision.

"Boom boom——"

The impact of the arrow sent Uncle B flying, causing him to deviate from his landing point and land in a nearby park. But... when the smoke and dust cleared, Uncle B was standing tall on the ground.

"How is it possible that there is no harm at all!"

Toosaka Rin was a little bit incredulous. Of course, Shinji was stronger, and he saw it clearly - at that moment, Uncle B swung his axe and sword to block the arrows.

"Really... this guy is super strong."

With such superb martial arts and terrifying ability values, it's a bit difficult to deal with~ But we still have to fight.

"Roar--"

At this moment, Uncle B suddenly disappeared in the small park and rushed to Shirou Emiya at an explosive speed! At this moment, everything seemed to slow down.

A look of surprise appeared on Shirou Emiya's face, but he couldn't react at all - he couldn't dodge!

Fortunately, Saber was reliable enough. She threw off her raincoat, rushed forward quickly, and swung her sword to block Uncle B's axe. The collision between the two produced a violent air wave and a large amount of light pollution.

"Clang, clang—"

Although she was a little inferior in ability, Saber relied on her flexible body to hold off Uncle B and they were in a stalemate for a while.

Meanwhile, the skyscrapers in the distance… well, they weren't that tall. Red A was ready, slowly drawing the longbow in his hand. An arrow shot through the air and struck Uncle B.

"boom--!"

The falling arrows set off a series of explosions, living up to his nickname of "Nuclear Sword Immortal." Unfortunately, Uncle B remained unharmed amidst the smoke and dust, his wild black hair flying in the wind.

Not far away, Illya just watched quietly. Everything was still under her control - Berserker was the strongest!

Perhaps sensing Illya's anticipation, Uncle B suddenly launched a burst of attacks, using his overwhelming strength to suppress Saber and slash wildly, making it extremely difficult for Saber to cope.
