Although they already knew Caster's real name and Noble Phantasm, and even thought that Berserker could easily kill him casually if he took action, Shirou and Rin did not decide to attack Caster tonight.
It's very simple, because Shirou is worried that the other party will jump over the wall after its own team breaks into Ryuudou Temple, and involve the innocent monks in Ryuudou Temple.
"... That's right," Rin crossed her chest with one hand and supported her chin with the other hand and nodded, "Now, Berserker can indeed attack at any time, but Medea, known as the witch of betrayal, may really attack innocent people in the temple at the last moment, but there is nothing she can't do..."
"Do we have to find a way to lure those monks out first?"
As he said that, Shirou also propped his chin and frowned, thinking carefully, and then suddenly thought of something!
"Shinji can do it!"
"Huh? Shinji?"
"Yes! I heard from Isshin that recently Shinji is plating Golden Body on the Buddha statues in Ryuudou Temple and repairing some old buildings and Buddha statues. Those engineering teams have been living in Ryuudou Temple recently!"
"Hmm..."
Rin thought about it and realized that it was really possible to do something like this from this aspect.
As long as the engineering team announces that some special paint may be harmful to the human body and needs to be left empty for a few days to allow the toxic gases to evaporate, then the monks can be temporarily removed from Ryuudou Temple.
Although this method is simple and efficient and does not easily arouse the enemy's vigilance, Rin still feels that this method of involving Shinji is not very good.
At the same time, Shirou also noticed this, touched the back of his head and said, "It really doesn't work, right? If ordinary people like Shinji are involved..."
Rin thought for a while and made the final decision, "Let's look for other ways first..."
"Where's the hint?" Illya suddenly interjected.
Rin frowned. "Telling so many people at once a hint to leave the temple?"
"Ara? Are you saying that Rin can't do it?"
Listening to this soft and cute childish voice that was full of sarcasm, I was filled with awe.
"What are you talking about? I can't do it? I just can't sneak into Ryuudou Temple!"
That's right! That's it! Rin mentally confirmed his wording.
"Illya, is that okay?" Shirou asked.
"You can try, but there is a high probability that Caster will discover it. After all, the opponent is the Magecraft division of Age of Gods. Even though I am the top Magecraft division in the land of Fuyuki, it is difficult to ensure that some of my moves are not discovered when facing the Magecraft division of Age of Gods."
(Note: As long as it is on the land of Fuyuki, Illya is the super-top Magecraft division. However, it is hard to say if it is a first-rate Magecraft division that cuts off Illya's connection with the earth veins. So it cannot be said to be invincible.)
On the land Fuyuki? Why add this condition?
Rin was a little puzzled, but then he thought of another possibility and thought: Could it be... related to spiritual veins?
Illya, who didn't care that his secret would be seen through, looked at Rin who was thinking and smiled slightly.
After all, although Rin's Magecraft master level is good, it is not enough to cut off the connection between himself and Fuyuki Leyline. Even if the other party knows this kind of thing, it doesn't matter at all!
The three people who met to discuss how to deal with Caster tomorrow said goodbye to each other as the sunset rose.
Seeing Illya who was the second to leave after Lin left, Shirou who stayed behind thought for a while and stopped Illya and asked the question he wanted to know.
"Illya, do you know...Kiritsugu Emiya?"
Illya started with his back and remained silent for a few seconds before turning around and grinning.
"This is a secret, I can't tell you yet."
Shinji, who had just finished his third victory or defeat with Gilgamesh, stood up from the ground and admitted defeat very simply.
Without him, it's just that the opponent's luck is too incredible. He can draw whatever cards he needs, and they are all cards that can cooperate with the cards on the field to give him a fatal blow as long as he comes on the field.
Even if he set up countless sets and made countless plans based on the cards he drew, he could not completely turn the tide of the battle.
He was fighting a war of attrition, street fighting, and guerrilla warfare, while the other party was mindlessly using various high-end weapons to cooperate with the bombing, without giving him any chance to breathe.
Of course, there is one difference, that is, this time, Shinji actually caused some damage to Gilgamesh. Although his LP was cleared, the opponent was also worn down by his various "scraping" in the last round and only had a little LP left.
"It's getting trickier and more interesting..."
Looking at the raised corners of Golden Flash's mouth, Shinji didn't feel unhappy or anything, he just cursed in his heart: What a fool!
"I hope you can bring me bigger surprises, Shinji Matou."
Looking at the back of Golden Flash who turned around and left after leaving such a meaningful sentence, Shinji also silently replied in his heart:
This may disappoint you, after all, I would never show that kind of thing to a man! Except when you need to pee in the toilet!
Just after he finished complaining in his mind, Shinji saw a familiar figure walking towards him, passing by Golden Flash - Rin.
But what was a bit surprising was that this time Rin didn't say a word when passing by Shinji, and just snorted heavily.
Tohsaka Residence, living room.
"Did Rider tell you the information?" Rin took the tea from Archer and was a little surprised.
"Well, it seems that the other party's Master also intends to take action against Caster and shared this information with us."
Rin took a sip of tea gently, nodded, and said, "Well... I don't know what the other party's purpose is, but with Berserker here, it's impossible for the other party to do anything like a mantis stalking a cicada stalking a cicada or an oriole behind it."
Speaking of Berserker, Rin couldn't help but think of Berserker's real name and Noble Phantasm, which Illya generously announced today.
When thinking about the almost unsolvable Noble Phantasm ability and Berserker's numerical value when he first met him, Rin's head felt a little big.
Looking at Rin who put down the teacup, rubbed his forehead and sighed, Archer asked again, "Illyasviel that brat..."
"Hey, it's a united front for now, but after taking care of Caster..."
"It seems that we still need to cooperate with others..."
"I don't want to say it, but with one person's strength, I really can't be his enemy." Rin sighed, then raised his eyes and glanced at Archer, "Where's the Rider you originally imagined? How about it?"
"The other party said that we should wait until Caster is dealt with before we can discuss this matter."
"Where is the other party's Master? Have you investigated it?"
"No, I searched Shinto almost everywhere today, but I couldn't find the woman I saw last night."
"Rider's Master is so timid. He has only appeared once until now."
Archer shook his head and said, "I don't think he is timid, but cautious. It can be seen from the other party's actions that the other party is very cautious and confident. Rider is only allowed to investigate and collect intelligence outside, while I make plans and wait for the opportunity behind the scenes. As long as there is an opportunity to deal with the opponent, I will take action very decisively!"
"That's it..." Rin thought and nodded, but then she thought of something, "No, Archer, according to what you said, Rider's Master couldn't have appeared in Ryuudou Temple last night, right?"
"It may be that Saber and I accidentally messed up the other party's plan. Since the other party has obtained Caster's information before everyone else, they may have been sure of victory in the face of Caster, so they decisively attacked him last night. However, the appearance of Saber and I disrupted the other party's plan, and they could only retreat decisively."
"It seems that he is also a very powerful Magecraft master."
"Judging from the magical power I feel, I might think so, and..."
Looking at Archer who frowned and hesitated to speak, Rin asked, "What's wrong?"
"The opponent may not only be an excellent Magecraft master, but also an extremely excellent warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles."
"Warrior?" Rin was puzzled.
"That's right. Judging from the other party's clothes, his posture when facing Saber and Assassin, and the cold aura he felt on his body, it's hard not to think so."
"Listening to what you said, I feel like Holy Grail War may not be as simple as I thought. There are so many difficult opponents, hey~"
"Don't worry, I believe that if it is Rin, one day he will become a Magecraft master that is even better than Rider's Master."
Looking at Archer who slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled with his eyes closed, Rin waved his hand very calmly.
"There's no point in complimenting me, Archer. After all, you're telling the truth."
Upon hearing the sound, Archer's expression froze, but soon returned to normal. Even if there was a strange emotion growing in his heart, he did not show it.
Emiya Residence, dojo.
Shirou also relayed to Saber from a seated position what he had experienced today and the news that he, Rin and Illya had formally formed a three-person temporary (for Caster) team after school.
Although she knew that her emotions would fluctuate when facing Illya, Saber also said that since the other party took the initiative to show kindness, she would not have any unnecessary opinions.
Of course, Shirou is also reminded to be careful and careful about being deceived and framed by the other party during cooperation.
Shirou smiled and said, "No, Saber, although after knowing that Kiritsugu and Einzbern were related, I understood why the other party was hostile to me at the beginning, but after getting to know each other for a few days, I have become clear enough about the fact that Illya is a good boy."
Saber couldn't tell her that the other party was actually one year older than you and was Kiritsugu's daughter. In fact, Saber didn't really want to mention anything related to Holy Grail War last time.
After all, all that is left is shadow!
"Shirou, should we prepare dinner?"
"Yes." Shirou nodded, then slowly stood up from the floor, and said helplessly, "If it's too late, Fuji-nee might act up again..."
"What's the dish for today?"
"Fried chicken, potato stew, tempura, and grilled salmon. How about it? Are you satisfied? Miss Saber Knight?" Shirou asked half-jokingly.
"Hey, I'm very satisfied! But Shirou just call me Saber, no need to add Miss Knight."
"Uh..."
Shirou rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and muttered quietly, "It seems that Saber still can't understand this kind of joke..."
