One captured curvy beauty
When Rin and Jizi arrived at the backyard, they saw several Dragon Tooth Warriors surrounding the enemy. Shirou was holding a reinforced short stick in his right hand and pressing his left hand on his right arm—there was a wound caused by a sharp weapon there, which was still bleeding, but it wasn't a big problem.
"Shirou!"
Jizi put Rin down, rushed to her brother's side, and used Healing Magecraft to treat him.
"Didn't I tell you? If you encounter a Servant, run away as fast as you can. They're not beings that humans can fight!"
"I'm sorry, but..."
Shirou lowered his head and looked towards the door—there lay an unconscious female student with a small wound on her neck, her breath very weak. It seemed he had been forced to fight to protect her.
The girl clearly showed signs of having her life force drained by the servant.
"Will they target ordinary people?"
This seems to be the same operational strategy as the Caster of Ryuudou Temple, but Jizi, who participated in the destruction of the Caster's base last night, knows that if it were that guy, he would not target a single individual like this, but would use Magecraft to hunt on a large scale.
"Who are these people in this Holy Grail War?!"
Rin shook her head helplessly. Casters were one thing, but now this guy had appeared who attacked ordinary people to replenish his magic power. He really didn't take her, the administrator of Fuyuki City, seriously—although she didn't have much prestige since she had only recently returned from overseas.
Forget it, let's settle the score after we defeat them.
Rin summoned several more Dragon Tooth Warriors wielding bows and arrows, launching an attack on the Servant from a distance. Rin had sensed during the previous battle that this Servant's strength and speed were far inferior to Saber and Lancer. Even the Assassin from ten years ago wouldn't be this weak. It seemed that either the Master's strength was too weak, or the Heroic Spirit himself was simply not the type to excel in direct combat.
Even though she believed she could defeat her opponent on her own, Rin, having learned her lesson from Illya and Berserker, dared not be overconfident again. While commanding the Dragon Tooth Warriors to form an encirclement, she used the Magecraft thread manipulation technique she had copied from Illya to seal off the surrounding area. In her mind, she also ordered Archer to find an opportunity to incapacitate the opponent without killing him.
Do you know what kind of agency it is?
Having confirmed that Rin could handle it alone, Jizi turned to Shirou and asked him for some details.
"I don't know, but it was very fast."
"So, does that mean Rider or Assassin?"
"Probably... You know I'm not very familiar with this."
"Then you'd better get familiar with it as soon as possible—if there's anything you don't know, you can ask Saber or me. Even if you have no interest in the Holy Grail, once you're involved, don't think you can stay out of it."
Seeing Jizi Shirou didn't seem to have the awareness of being a master, Ji Zi reminded him.
"I know that—I've already asked Saber to teach me swordsmanship."
"Swordsmanship? That makes sense. After all, there's no time for you to systematically learn Magecraft now. This is the only way to improve your combat power in a short period of time," Jizi nodded, then added, "In that case, let me participate as well."
"Clam?"
"Isn't it great that I can both teach you and learn something from Saber?"
"Haha, yeah, yeah, then count you in too..."
Shirou chuckled dryly and agreed, but he had a bitter pill to swallow. Jizi could fight the tiger to a standstill, and although she lost both times, the difference in skill was not significant. Having personally witnessed the tiger's abilities, he believed that Fujimura Style was in no way inferior to Saber in terms of technique. He would have to train under these two from now on, and the road ahead would be incredibly difficult!
Just as Shirou's miserable future was decided, Rin's work was also completed. An arrow shot from somewhere by Archer pinned the Servant's leg to the ground. Then, a net woven from Magecraft silk threads was draped over her by the Dragon Tooth Warriors. Next, several Dragon Tooth Warriors with swords stepped forward and held their weapons to their opponents' necks, completely rendering them unable to move.
"An unknown servant," Rin said, maintaining a certain distance and using an interrogative tone, "I'll assume you attacked ordinary people on your master's orders. So, if you can cooperate and provide some information, you might suffer less."
"... snort..."
"Looks like they're not cooperating— Jizi!"
"Exist!"
Hearing Rin's call, Jizi walked to her side, took out a series of Magecraft materials, including Mercury and Gems powder, from her bag, and then held the bag up as a tray, standing beside Rin.
"Which cowardly master is hiding there?!" Rin shouted, looking around. "This is your last chance. You can use Command Seals to recall your Servant. You'd better make a decision quickly—otherwise, once my Magecraft is complete, I can trace back along the magical link in your contract, and it will be too late to do anything then!"
What seemed like a well-intentioned reminder was actually Rin's way of hoping the other party would use Command Seals. Since the Servant's presence at the school meant the Master was also nearby, Archer had been monitoring the area from a distance and could pinpoint the location with the presence of Command Seals's magical aura.
"No response."
After waiting for about thirty seconds without seeing any movement from the other party, Rin had no choice but to abandon her plan to lure the snake out and instead prepare to perform the Magecraft she had mentioned earlier.
"Jizi, ID AMX-004!" (①)
"Learn!"
Jizi skillfully measured, combined, ground, and stirred the materials in front of her, then poured them into a test tube and handed it to Lin. Lin took it without checking it, and immediately put her hands together and began to chant a spell in a low voice.
This was the tacit understanding they had developed through training—because Rin was forgetful about small details, she would make all sorts of mistakes whenever she needed to prepare complex Magecraft. So she simply handed all of this over to Jizi, who was usually responsible for carrying and preparing the materials. The numbers were codes that had been agreed upon beforehand to indicate what materials and quantities were needed.
A dark red Magecraft glow shone in Lin's palm. After the light dimmed, the materials in the test tube and the test tube itself disappeared, replaced by a capsule-sized Gems.
"Make her eat it."
Jizi took the Gems and walked to the captured Servant—only then did she see clearly for the first time that this was a peerless beauty no less stunning than Saber. Even with her eyes covered, her beauty remained undiminished, and the curves of her breasts were the most exquisite Jizi had ever seen, even surpassing Sakura's. Her waist was supple and slender, and her legs, pierced by Archer's arrows and soaked in blood, were still nearly perfectly proportioned.
Why would someone so beautiful do something like this?
Jizi felt a pang of regret, but she still had to get on with her business. The Older Sister servant was pinned down by the Dragon Tooth Warriors and couldn't move. Jizi pinched her nose, and when she couldn't help but open her mouth to breathe, she swiftly threw the small Gems made by Rin into her mouth, then forcefully closed her jaw and forced her to swallow it.
"Alright, we can sense the connection of the contract now," Rin said, closing her eyes as if in meditation. "Take her with us."
After the Older Sister servant consumed the Gems created by Rin, a part of her body was forced to synchronize with Rin. Therefore, the connection between her and her master could be traced by Rin, allowing her to find the other person by following the clues.
Rin reconstructed the Magecraft net, twisting the threads into a rope about three fingers thick, and tied the Older Sister servant's hands behind her back. At the same time, two Dragon Tooth Warriors held knives to her neck, and Jizi also took out a weapon and walked behind her to monitor her. Led by Rin, the group walked into the teaching building.
"As expected, it's at school!"
After turning several corners, Rin finally stopped in front of the chemistry lab.
"Hey, stop hiding now. If you still have any sense of honor as Magecraft, come out here. I'll give you a chance to face me head-on!"
Rin didn't break down the door, but instead knocked politely. However, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of giving her that courtesy.
"In that case, there's nothing we can do— Jizi, please step back a little, Emiya."
Duang!
A blast of Yin Qi Bullet through the door panel, but the sound didn't seem to have caused any significant impact.
"Huh? I clearly attached 'track living creatures'!"
Sensing something was wrong, Rin flung open the door. Sure enough, there was no one inside, except for a book with a strong magical aura lying open on the floor near the window.
"This is..."
