This was not the Holy Relic her employer had prepared for her earlier, but one she had obtained amid the chaotic battle.
If it had been any other Holy Relic, Sigma could have destroyed it.
But this piece of boar hide was an exception.
There seemed to truly be some mysterious existence within it, making it difficult to destroy.
Moreover, it was itself the "igniter" in the chain reaction—the least important component.
"...Will this stop the disaster?" After Bai finished her magecraft, Rin beside her asked.
"No. This merely raises the threshold for the minimum explosion. So at the very end... I'll catch it."
Rin sighed.
The difficulty was simply too great.
This was not something a rational magus would do.
"The safest method would actually be to abandon the plane. There are only a few hundred people aboard at most," Rin said.
"Mm, [garbled]. Abandoning the few to save the many is the safest approach. But—"
Bai raised her head.
It was indeed the safest option, one that could ensure most people survived. But that was not her way.
To save one side by abandoning the other was not Emiya Bai's ideal.
"—I will save them all."

First update, desu~ Keep going, keep going~
Archer: "..."
Although he was in spirit form, Archer had heard every word Bai said.
Bai's behavior and appearance had once made Archer feel that the version of himself in this world might be a completely different person.
But by now, Archer was certain that even if this person had become a woman, she was still him after all.
So infuriating.
But there was nothing he could do.
Faced with such a "self," Archer even felt a trace of heartache.
—Make someone like this give up her goal?
No, don't joke around!
