008, Yet Another Lord Has Entered the War?!

"But... Archer, you..." Rin looked into Rimuru's golden eyes, hesitating to speak... Those eyes truly did not look human no matter how she looked at them.

"Although my memories are a little muddled, I don't seem to possess any divinity myself." Rimuru naturally knew what she wanted to ask and gave a soft laugh.

"Then your spear technique..."

"Ahaha, that." Rimuru scratched his head and said sheepishly, "I have rather broad interests, so I've dabbled in a few other fields. As for spear techniques, I suppose I know a little."

A little...?

Rin could not help taking a step back, nearly blinded by that sudden display of humblebragging. She covered her forehead and sighed. "Anyway, let's get back quickly. The battle here may already have alerted the other Masters."

The moment she finished speaking, Rin Tohsaka stirred slightly. As if she had sensed something, she looked strangely into the distant darkness.

"You noticed?" Seeing this, Rimuru could hear Shirou Emiya running. Rin had probably enhanced her hearing with magic... Not just her vision—perhaps she had strengthened all five senses.

Hearing that, Rin immediately turned around and said unhappily, "You noticed earlier?"

"Yeah. My perception is EX, after all. And if I get lucky, Clairvoyance can even let me see a brief glimpse of the future." Rimuru folded his arms. "But I figured that even if I warned you, with your personality as a Master, you'd probably let him go anyway."

"Besides, if we alerted Lancer before taking him out, he might have immediately prioritized dealing with that student."

"..." Rin stared at Rimuru for a while before awkwardly looking away. "Tch... Don't make it sound like you know me so well."

"Still, that student seemed to have a faint trace of magical energy... I'm rather curious." Rimuru suddenly said softly.
