Toosaka Rin almost yelled these words.
Chapter 171 Thoughts
The Emiya family has a dojo. For Red A, the Emiya family is his home, and he is familiar with every tree and grass here. With him leading the way, the two came here.
Li Mo is no stranger to such indoor environments.
This kind of building always appears in movies and TV series, and it also appears frequently in animation. But it is usually a training ground for a school of thought. If a private person can own such a building, he can only be rich.
But it is undoubtedly a good place to fight.
"Right here." Red A stood in place, with two more weapons in his hands.
"Gan Jiang and Mo Ye"
It was a famous weapon from ancient China, called Red A. Of course, the Servant whose real name was Shirou Emiya would never have possessed these two historical weapons. They were just weapons projected by his projection magic.
The boy named Shirou Emiya has an amazing talent in projection magic. In other world lines, he has a strong record of projecting divine weapons. However, for ordinary magicians, projection magic can only project some household utensils such as kitchen knives.
"First of all, I will not..."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of whistling wind came towards him. Li Mo used the Tianmu Kage katana in his hand to block the double swords of Shirou Emiya.
His strength is not weak... Although he is Archer, he actually has high strength requirements. It's just that his awareness in close combat may not be as good as others.
Li Mo complained: "Just wait for me to say something... forget it."
Call later.
Li Mo did not sense any murderous intent from the other party's actions. The other party just wanted to vent.
The confrontation began.
Magic was bestowed on Li Mo, and the two kept the same speed. The whistling wind shuttled through the dojo. Afterimages and knife lights appeared in the house. The sound of metal collisions echoed here.
The gap between humans and Servants doesn't seem so hopeless.
……
……
Toosaka Rin felt like there were a hundred bees buzzing in her head. After reaching the correct conclusion, she couldn't believe it.
"I think it's true... Although they didn't admit it directly, the communication between the two of them shows it. The Archer was probably talking about me."
Emiya Kiritsugu, the wrong path.
Shirou Emiya determined Archer's identity through these two points. Moreover, when the two of them were communicating, he would occasionally peek at him. All these small details showed that the person was Shirou Emiya.
Will I become that kind of person?
Shirou Emiya closed his eyes and recalled his time with Archer. In the short time they were together, he could feel the unfriendly look in his eyes. But he had encountered a Servant like Lancer who killed him just because he saw him, so he didn't think that look was anything special.
But when I found out that the other person was me, problems arose.
Why do you look at your past self that way?
More importantly, he did not refute that Kiritsugu was on the wrong path.
Emiya Shirou felt questions filling his mind, and he wondered what kind of mistake Kiritsugu had taken. What would be considered a mistake...
The person involved has complicated thoughts, and the other person involved, Toosaka Rin, has even more complicated thoughts.
She looked at Shirou Emiya's face. Previously, she only thought of Shirou Emiya as her ally, classmate, someone she had saved, and a good person. But she never thought that she would be with him.
Even though I knew from those words that I didn't marry him. But the problem is, Li Mo's previous words about the summons around him confirmed that he summoned Shirou Emiya by himself.
I can only achieve this because of the close bond between him and me. Then what will be my relationship with Shirou Emiya in the future?
No wonder Archer and the magician kept it a secret. Things like this, things like this!
—— Did I really need to prepare the holy relics? But I really don’t have any extra funds!
Since Tohsaka Tokiomi passed away in his prime, the financial situation of the Tohsaka family has deteriorated. Although there is a disciple, Kotomine Kirei, who helps to manage the family, he still has the shadow of the Holy Church. Moreover, his financial management skills are really average.
As a result, while Tohsaka Tokiomi used to be able to use gems at will, now Tohsaka Rin has difficulty in conducting her magic research.
Don't think too much about this kind of thing. It's over.
Toosaka Rin patted her cheek.
Then, she noticed someone was looking at her. Toosaka Rin followed the line of sight and saw that the owner was her biological sister, Sakura Matou, who was looking at her.
Her expression seemed a little strange.
"Rin, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, sister."
Matou Sakura didn't know what emotions were rising in her heart. Why would the girl that Senior would be close to in the future be Tousaka-senpai?
She felt that when she answered Senior Toosaka, the smile on her face was very stiff. Her mood began to sink, and her body seemed to fall into the abyss involuntarily. Subtle emotions slowly emerged in her heart. Bad thoughts emerged in her heart.
Why can’t it be myself?
Then, she was hugged. Koyanskaya-san inserted her hands under Matou Sakura's armpits and hugged her.
Resting her chin on Matou Sakura's shoulder, Gao Yanskaya exhaled hot air beside Matou Sakura's earlobe and said, "My dear Sakura, are you jealous? Jealous for something that doesn't even exist. Sakura is so cute~~"
"Goyanskaya-san... please don't do this." Matou Sakura's face was flushed. She thought so in her heart, but it was too embarrassing to say such thoughts out loud.
"Don't worry, Sakura is so cute. Have you forgotten what you said before? Is my Master destined to change? The simplest and most brutal way is to see him get married. You might as well make it a done deal."
"Goyanskaya-san!" How can you say such a thing?
Sakura Matou began to struggle and resist, but how could human strength defeat Koyanskaya-san?
In the end, it was Rider who pulled Koyanskaya away.
She said, "Assassin, don't take it too far."
"Ah~~~" Gao Yanskaya-san stretched out her tone in grievance.
The charming features and the delicate voice only made Rider feel that it was artificial. This made her conclude that Assassin must have done it on purpose. With her ability, it was impossible for him not to have a matching temperament.
"Well... things like life events. Let's talk about them after the Holy Grail War. Our primary goal right now should be to dismantle the Greater Holy Grail, right?" Shirou Emiya said awkwardly, touching the back of his head.
Matou Sakura lowered her head in shame. Why did Koyanskaya-san have to be so straightforward when it comes to confessing something like this?
Toosaka Rin sighed: "Isn't the focus now on the two people fighting in the dojo?!"
Soon, everyone rushed to the dojo.
Chapter 172 Communication
The impact of the explosive news on the parties involved has nothing to do with the two people fighting in the dojo.
Because they put their whole heart into the battle.
Li Mo hadn't had such a smooth battle for a long time. In the original god, he hardly encountered any troublesome opponents, even the "tumor" he faced in the last stage of the Shenying Great Purification was very easy.
In the main world and the Garden Lily Bell, it was just a competition. He and his opponent were not in the same weight class, and Li Mo could feel that his opponent was a little timid. The fight was not smooth.
Thinking back, the last time I had a thrilling battle was the battle with Akaza.
The ghost who doesn't eat women, despises the weak and respects the strong unexpectedly has a charismatic personality. Li Mo hates Akaza for being a man-eating ghost, but he also admires him.
Every person and every living thing is multifaceted.
So in the end Li Mo killed the other person in a way that was almost self-mutilation.
Clang——
Sparks flew between the single and double swords. The Tenmoku Kage katana and Ganjiang Moye collided and separated.
Li Mo used no other skills except for the magic to strengthen his body and the "force elimination" to remove the impact. He did not use the Sun Breathing, Yin-Yang Blessing, "Swallow Return" and "Power of the Beast".
Likewise, Red A didn't really use his skills. Not to mention his hidden treasures, he didn't even use the advantages of his Archer class.
Archer plays close combat, seems normal?
The two staggered and the distance between them was pulled apart. A little sweat appeared on Li Mo's forehead. He had gotten enough exercise today.
"Hey, Red A, are you still standing up for justice?"
"Who knows about that kind of thing?"
"I see. You're still holding on. Think about it. If you give up on justice, you'll be the same as the black you."
"Your eyes have seen so many things. I am now increasingly suspicious of your purpose. Since you know so many things, why are you so obsessed with the Greater Holy Grail?"
Red A spoke up. There are various possibilities in the world, or parallel worlds. As the guardian of the "Alaya" contract, he knows this deeply. The other party is talking about a certain possibility called Emiya Shirou.
High level of clairvoyance.
Red A already believed that this strange magician had such ability. Coupled with his superb martial arts and strong body, he was at a very high level.
If that's the case, why did he participate in the Holy Grail War?
Li Mo didn't know what Red A was thinking, and didn't know that the other party had misunderstood him. As a magician, he must be more proficient in magic than martial arts and physical fitness. For example, El-Melloi II, as a magician, had a terrifyingly high level of magic theory, but he was weak and frail.
The other party thinks that Li Mo is a pure magician, but he has certain morals and humanity. But in fact.
Li Mo became a magician only in these few days.
Based on the premise that Li Mo is a magician, Red A is curious about his opponent's goal. Isn't his goal the "Root Vortex"? Why does he want to disintegrate the Holy Grail? According to the magician's thinking, even if the "Holy Grail" is contaminated, shouldn't the idea be to purify it?
"Disintegrating the Greater Holy Grail is indeed my goal. Red A, if you understand the origin of the Holy Grail War, you will be able to guess my purpose."
The collision continued, and words were a way of communication. Fighting was also a way of communication. The collision of weapons without killing intent could make the other party understand one's will and one's thoughts.
Red A thought: "Third method, huh?"
Then, Gan Jiang and Moye flew out of his hand and turned into a boomerang in the air.
Li Mo took the Tenmokage katana and knocked down the two weapons, then said, "Have you started to listen to others? Has the depression in your heart been relieved? Archer, are you jealous of Shirou Emiya at the moment? He is clearly at the best time, but he is wasting his time by doing the wrong things. This waste seems extremely extravagant to you, so you are angry for this, right?"
Original sin, jealousy.
Li Mo also realized this during the battle. Let's put it in our own mind. If we were to step into the society and see our past self who had a certain talent but didn't study hard and played games all day, would we hate him for not striving and be jealous? If we could start over again...
I feel like I would make that choice again.
Reason tells him what the most correct choice is, but the being called Li Mo is not a rational being. Isn't what he said now a manifestation of his irrationality?
