(Note: Chapter 117 has been released, before the remarks of the previous chapter.)

"You really are a Servant who likes to act during the day, Rider..."

As Archer's voice sounded, his figure gradually solidified behind Rider.

Because he didn't feel the murderous intent of the opponent, Rider didn't call out the weapon and turned sideways to look at Archer, who was standing in front of the bookshelf with his arms folded.

Archer didn't waste any time. "Let's get straight to the point. You should know that Rider and Caster have left the show. I felt your breath yesterday at Ryuudou Temple. You were there the whole time, right?"

"So what?"

"I believe you have seen Berserker's fighting ability. That kind of fighting power cannot be competed by a single person. Not to mention that Saber's Master is now very close to Berserker's Master. If your Master still wants to win this Holy Grail, the only way to go is to cooperate with others to deal with Berserker first."

At this time, Rider was relaying Archer's words in real time to Bazett who was still in the Twin Mansion.

"... No."

After a long time, Bazett Rider replied softly, "Cooperation is not necessarily required. It is not difficult for my Master to capture Servants other than Berserker."

"Ho~" Hearing this, Archer showed a bit of interest, "It seems that your Master is indeed not as confident as usual. Are the remaining Servants, that is, Saber, me and Lancer? In that case, do you also know who Lancer's Master has never shown his face?"

Although he accidentally made a mistake in his words and let the other party notice this information, Rider did not panic at all, because after all, it was Bazett who told him to say this, and it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Rider didn't speak, Archer knew that he had guessed correctly, and sighed with emotion, "Really, I thought the only enemies that needed attention were Berserker and Saber, but I didn't expect... there are such terrible enemies hidden in the secret..."

"... My Master said that if you voluntarily hand over Command Spells, you can... ensure that your Master is safe and sound during this war."

Hearing the sound, Archer didn't know whether to say MMP or not. This was the first time he had seen such a confident woman. However, for some reason, Archer had a feeling that the other party was not blindly confident.

In fact, Bazett thought very simply, because Shinji had previously asked himself to give Tohsaka Residence a way out when he met his master, so the easiest way was to ask him to hand over Command Spells and Servant and exit Holy Grail War directly.

As long as I take care of the other person a little more, then the other person can live very safely until the end of Holy Grail War. After all, Bazett still has a little confidence in his own strength.

"Everyone can tell lies. How much real ability does your Master, who has not made a move until now, have?"

"Among Master, he is the strongest."

After leaving such strong words, Rider turned around and left, but before leaving, he thought of something else and added without looking back.

"The outcome of this Holy Grail War has been doomed from the beginning. My Master (Shinji) has made preparations to end the war."

Archer did not stop Rider from leaving, but spoke again when Rider had just transformed into a spirit, "So... if I cooperate with Lancer, will your Master still be so confident?"

Hearing the sound, Rider terminated his spiritual transformation and revealed his body again. This was the order of Bazett.

Seeing that Rider was not in a hurry to leave, Archer continued, "I still know that eggs cannot be placed in the same cage. Before I met you, I met Lancer. Although the other party's Master did not show up, after proposing the intention to cooperate, the other party's Master conveyed more interesting ideas through Lancer's mouth..."

Archer's words were half-truths. Before accidentally discovering Rider in this library, he had indeed met Lancer, who had been having a good night. He had indeed vaguely proposed a cooperation intention, but it was not conveyed to his Master through Lancer.

Even after hearing this, Lancer showed an expression of "Are you kidding me?", and then warned himself extremely impatiently, "It's better to stop this idea as soon as possible. My Master is not a likable guy. Cooperating with him will only lead to self-destruction."

As for why he lied, Archer's purpose of coaxing Rider now is actually just to force the other party to cooperate. He clearly reminded the other party, "You can choose not to cooperate, then I will cooperate with others. Even if you are strong, you may not be so confident when facing two Servant at the same time."

As for why he forced the opponent, Archer had a feeling that Rider's Master might be the key to breaking the game!

Otherwise, if Berserker and Saber attack each other, they will not be able to play this game! It is impossible to achieve any of your goals!

Rider here is silent, but Bazett in the Twin Mansion is also thinking.

Although I am confident that in a one-on-one situation, no matter which master or slave I meet, there is no chance of winning, but if according to what the other party said, Archer and Lancer cooperate first...

After thinking about it for a long time, Bazett also made the final decision. We can't go on like this any longer!

It's time for you to take action!

It's time for this Holy Grail War to come to an end!

Talking about my Servant just now, although I didn't give a signal, the words he took the initiative to say, "The outcome of this Holy Grail War was doomed from the beginning, and my Master is ready to end the war!" was really domineering!

Servant, who was given for free, actually trusted himself so much and developed such a tacit understanding. It seems that his luck is really good!

Tohsaka Residence.

"What? Want to meet with Rider's Master to discuss cooperation?"

Rin, who had just woken up and had been disturbed by Archer's messy dreams all night, looked at Archer who handed him black tea in astonishment.

"Well, the confidence revealed in the other party's words is indeed not fake, and it can also be felt that it is not blind confidence. Rin, what do you think?"

"No... you were so efficient that I was distracted for a while..."

Rin still couldn't believe it, but he soon came to his senses. After putting down the black tea cup he took a sip from, he raised his chin and frowned, thinking carefully.

After about five minutes of fussing, Rin finally nodded after imagining countless plans in his mind but unable to find a better one than finding someone to work with to deal with Berserker.

Matou Residence.

Shinji, who had just slept for less than ten minutes, opened his eyes and looked at Rider, who was standing beside the bed with a speechless face, and could clearly feel a bit more cold than usual.

"I want to sleep... Unlike you Servant, I don't have any problem if I don't eat, drink or sleep as long as I have enough magic power!"

Shinji held his forehead and spoke helplessly.

I don't know why, but when I saw Shinji Rider, I couldn't help but think of the insulting title of Anywhere Express Employee No. 1, and I wanted to teach him a lesson!

But then I thought again, I seemed to be number one, and I felt an inexplicable little joy in my heart. It was really strange.

"Bazett accepted Archer's intention to cooperate and plans to meet in detail this afternoon."

Shinji frowned. Although he had indeed expected this development, why would Sister Bazett let Rider tell him? What's the meaning?

Seeing the other person's brows furrowing, Rider's mind became more active, thinking that the Master might not like this development, right? Will he be ordered to destroy cooperation later? Is it finally time to take action?!

"Whatever, whatever, it has nothing to do with me, I want to sleep."

Looking at Shinji who was waving his hands impatiently, Rider thought that his Master (Shinji) thought it was not the right time to take action yet, so he turned and left without saying anything.

In front of mountain peaks and cliffs.

With his hands in his pockets, Golden Flash looked at the scene in Ryuudou Temple below with a smile on his face - the police cordoned off the scene to maintain order while recording the case.

Although I don't know the details of what happened here last night, it doesn't prevent Golden Flash from being happy. Does happiness need a clear reason?

No, not at all! Pleasure is a state! It is a state of perseverance!

"It's really boring..."

After saying this with great disdain, Golden Flash turned and left.

When Shinji woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

After a simple rinse, putting on clean clothes and eating something, Shinji felt that both his body and mind had returned to the best condition. Before he could raise the corners of his mouth to satisfy his pleasure addiction when no one was around, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Shinji came to the living room window and looked at Golden Flash standing in front of the door of his house with his hands in his pockets. He felt helpless and funny.

This guy really only cares about his own temporary pleasure and doesn't do anything serious.

At the same time, Rin did not find a chance to compete with Shirou in school today. After buying the ingredients for the night on the way home, he saw Illya and Shirou chatting happily like brothers and sisters in the small park.

However, because it was no longer an alliance, Rin did not stop. He just glanced sideways and snorted before hurriedly leaving.

"Tohsaka..."

Shirou belatedly realized that when he found Rin, he was already twenty meters away. Just as he was about to say hello, Illya took his arm.

"What else? Shirou What other fun things did you do before?"

Looking at Illya's eyes that were full of innocence and curiosity just like Ruby's, Shirou smiled helplessly and could only continue.

"Then it's time to go to middle school. Because I was naughty, I was always intercepted by the upperclassmen on the way home from school. But because of Shinji, I always kept the other seniors around..."

The young man tirelessly talked about his past interesting stories, and did not notice the little secret joy that seemed to have "succeeded" in the girl's eyes just now...

Before Rin could reach his home, he saw Archer and Rider waiting in front of his home. Rin, who had already learned from Archer that the other party was here to lead the way, didn't say much.

However, the moment I saw Rider turn around and run towards the mountains, I was still a little surprised.

It turns out that Rider's Master has been hiding in the mountains behind his house!

Rin also felt a little frightened! Until today, the other party has not attacked me who is closest to him, so I am pretty lucky.
