Rin, who was led by Archer and followed Rider to the uninhabited mountains and old forests, became alarmed when he saw the dense forest with no trace of living people at all.
"Archer, is it possible that the other party is not prepared to cooperate with us at all, but is planning to kill us by leading us to this no-man's land?""
Archer didn't reply, but he was also secretly on guard, and even planned an escape route if an accident occurred.
At this moment, Rider, who had been leading the way, suddenly stopped. At the same time, Rin reached into his coat pocket and held the gem in his pocket.
"Come in..."
After saying this, Rider took a step forward, and then his figure disappeared in front of Rin and Archer.
Rin, who originally wanted to complain, "It's all a tree, where did you ask us to go?!" was also confused, especially after learning from Archer that he could sense that the opponent was not in spiritual form but was right in front of him.
Entering the courtyard of the Twin Mansion, Rin looked at the dilapidated bungalow in front of him, and then at the forest behind him, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's incredible that a barrier can deceive the six senses."
"I said, my Master is the strongest."
Except for some special occasions when Shinji is also present, Rider's voice is always so small.
Immediately afterwards, the door was opened, and it was during this Holy Grail War that Rin saw the complete picture of Rider's Master—Bazett for the first time.
"Rider, don't scare the guests, this is just a communication of the intention to cooperate in the future."
Although Bazett was deeply affected by Rider's words, Bazett still felt that there was no need to stress it all the time, as long as he knew this kind of thing in his heart.
Then Bazett looked at Rin who was standing with Archer, forced himself to smile with kindness, and introduced himself.
"First meeting, Tohsaka Residence, one of Three Great Families, is in charge, Miss Tohsaka Rin. My name is Bazett Fraga Mark Ramis, the executor of the Mage's Association Special Designation Bureau, is also a participant of Holy Grail War sent by the Mage's Association this time."
After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Rin was stunned on the spot. It took a long time to react, and he forced a smile with unusual reluctance.
"Hello... Miss·Bazett..."
"Okay, since you are a guest, you should invite me into my home."
Looking at Bazett who turned around and entered the house, Rin suddenly felt that if he wanted to escape, this moment should be his last chance.
If you go in, there is a high probability that you will come out alive.
"Rider, please make some tea. I'm not very good at this kind of work."
Bazett's voice came from inside the house, and Rider responded and entered the house.
Looking at Rin, who was leaning on his chin with a gloomy expression and not moving a step, Archer asked, "What's wrong? Rin?"
"You asked me what's wrong..." Rin really felt that he was defeated by his own Servant. He tried not to explode and gritted his teeth through the contract channel:
"What did you say?! Do you know what an executor is?! If you don't know, just tell me!
Mage's Association The most evil one is the evil spirit Gashami! The second is Sealing Designation! The third is the executor!
Understand! If that woman wanted to, she could kill me in a few seconds and stuff me into a sandbag as planned!"
"As of now, I haven't sensed any murderous intent against us from the other side. And according to you, the other side is very strong, so isn't that just right? After all, we have to face the strongest Berserker, so it will be troublesome if we are too weak."
Looking at Archer, whose lips were raised, Rin finally let out a long sigh, raised his forehead and said, "You really don't have any sense of crisis, Archer. But it makes sense. The other party has a thigh that may not be as thin as Berserker's. Of course it would be best if he can hug him. I'm afraid that the other party..."
The living room on the first floor.
Rin held the teacup handed over by Rider in both hands and sat on the sofa very reservedly.
I don't dare to move, I really don't dare to move!
After pouring the black tea into his stomach like cold boiled water, Bazett said, "What's wrong? I won't drink... Oh, I understand. After all, the cooperation has not been finalized yet, and we are still enemies at the moment, so it is right not to drink the enemy's tea. This is not a bad caution."
Listening to the other party's compliment, Rin just twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and then placed the black tea cup in his hand on the table.
"Miss·Bazett, I think it's better for us to get to the point quickly. Now we should talk about cooperation."
"Hmm..." Bazett raised his chin and began to think, then asked, "Are you really not considering handing over Command Spells and Servant to withdraw Holy Grail War early?"
"This is impossible!" Lin pretended to be calm and said, "Holy Grail is Tohsaka Residence's long-cherished wish for generations! And we only agreed to come here to discuss cooperation!"
Seeing Rin's resolute attitude, Bazett stopped forcing her. After all, Shinji had specifically requested not to hurt her before.
"Well, if you insist, then we can only cooperate temporarily. The conditions are very simple. Before defeating Berserker, both parties must form a united front and no betrayal is allowed, okay?"
"Huh?" Rin was stunned for a moment, seemingly shocked by the conciseness of the other party's words, "Is that all?"
"Isn't the basis of cooperation based on mutual trust and no betrayal?"
At this moment, Rin finally understood that the other party was the type who would just say what he said and would not go into too much trouble with you.
"Ah... ah, yes. I can also promise not to betray you until Berserker withdraws."
"Okay, that's over. From now on, we are an alliance. Rider, please give Archer Master."
"Huh? Is this the end?" Rin was once again surprised by the other party's crispness. "Don't we need to discuss the battle plan or something?"
"Combat plan?" Bazett frowned, "Isn't it enough to just defeat the enemy?"
Rin:...
"I see..." Bazett nodded with his legs crossed and his chin supported, and then said slowly, "This Twelve Labors sounds really tricky, but if you start with the opponent's Master - Einzbern's android, it's not too difficult to deal with. I have experience fighting Einzbern's android..."
Looking at Bazett, who never showed any sign of finding his opponent difficult, Rin knew that he was indeed hugging a super thick thigh.
But then I thought about it. Two Servant stopped Berserker. They didn't need to defeat him, they just held him back. With such a thick leg, it would be easy to defeat a Illya.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Berserker suddenly became a small problem because of this thigh. Rin asked again, "... Then when do we do it?"
"Tomorrow. After all, I heard that Berserker and Saber's Master are now in a cooperative relationship. I'm not sure whether I will face Saber and Berserker at the same time, so I'd better prepare in advance."
Rin nodded. After all, according to Shirou's character, it is indeed possible for Illya to stand up when he is in danger.
"Then what preparations do we need?" Rin asked again.
"Get Lancer tonight."
Hearing the other party's overly easy-to-understand preparation, Rin once again became expressionless. If he didn't know the identity of the other party's executor, he might really think that there was something wrong with the other party's brain! What a reckless man!
Looking at Rin with a subtle expression, Bazett suddenly thought of something, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't need your help for this kind of thing, I can do it myself."
God can do it alone! How thick are these thighs? Rin was complaining crazily in her heart, and at the same time she couldn't help but wonder: Does the other party not need to cooperate with her in these six batches? Why accept your request to form a team when you don't need it?
While Rin was thinking, Archer, who had been standing behind Rin trying to figure out the character of Bazett, spoke up, "As a partner, we have provided information about Berserker, so should you also provide the information you know about Master related to Lancer? Isn't this fair?"
After hearing what Archer said, Bazett also felt that it did make some sense. After thinking about it, he felt that although he was protecting the other party secretly, he was also cooperating with the other party openly, so some information could also be shared.
"This time Holy Grail War has the biggest cheater that no one would have thought of. His purpose is unknown."
"Huh?" Rin frowned, and then complained in her heart: Do you still need to say this?! Except for yourself, you all feel like cheaters! He is an enforcer and such a perverted Berserker! You are the only one who does your duty and follows the rules of the game honestly!
Archer rested his chin and thought, "The biggest cheater that no one would think of... could it be said that he is a cheater?"
"That's right, it's the supervisor of this Holy Grail War—Kirei Kotomine!"
"Huh?!" Rin exclaimed in surprise.
After listening to Bazett's extremely concise and clear encounter about "being attacked by an acquaintance Mapo, cutting off his arms and taking away Command Spells and Servant Lancer", Rin, who had already understood from the previous conversation that the person in front of him would not lie, was "impressed" with Kirie, who was nominally his senior brother and guardian!
Good guy, you are hiding quite deep Kirie!
Of course, it was not only "amazing", but also a feeling of fear!
Since Kirie robbed Servant, it means that the other party also wants to get Holy Grail! It proves that the other party will attack the participants sooner or later! And it's most likely at the last minute!
Thinking of Kirie who pretended not to notice anything abnormal when he went to Holy Church before, Rin felt frightened. Kirie must also be ready to attack him.
"Kirie that guy...!" Rin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Archer was unusually calm and quickly found the contradiction and asked, "What's going on with Rider and your arm?"
"This is a prosthetic limb, and Rider is..."
Bazett didn't say any more, but Rin and Archer had already imagined the same development in their minds:
Bazett, who was lucky enough to survive, first found himself a prosthetic limb and then single-handedly snatched Rider, including Command Spells, from Rider Master he met by chance!
Rin and Archer, who felt more and more that this woman was too aggressive, stopped talking.
I really don't know how to speak!
