Hearing this, Illya fell into thinking.
It is true that she is not suitable to deal with four Heroic Spirits by herself. Unless she can pull out the Rose Maidens from the dream, otherwise, the possibility of winning... is too low.
However, this mysterious and gloomy witch... doesn't seem very trustworthy.

Matou Household.
Inside the restaurant.
"... Really, I might as well go to Tohsaka Household."
Ereshkigal sat in front of the dining table, dragging her cheeks with her delicate hands, and looked around with beautiful eyes. It was a dilapidated scene. Although it had been cleaned up, the broken windows... and the blackened walls all showed that a fierce battle had taken place.
"It's not because of you!"
Shinji Matou's breasts rose and fell violently as he stared at Blonde Girl not far away. If they hadn't attacked Matou Household, why would he be in such a ruined state now.
"No... this is because you used the bomb yourself."
Ereshkigal looked away slightly and said a little harshly.
In fact, the shabby appearance of Matou Household now is the result of their attack on Matou Household, but she does not feel any guilt about it.
They were not allies at that time. Even if he makes a ruthless move, it is still within the scope of tactics.
So, there's no need to feel guilty about it.
"Forget it"
Shinji Matou sighed helplessly, and knew that it was not appropriate to pursue these matters, so he just waved his hand and said, "I don't worry about going to your place. Master Magecraft will not go to other people's Magecraft workshops."
Naturally, she didn't dare to live in Tohsaka Household. After all, Tohsaka Rin had been running Tohsaka Household for so many years. Wouldn't it be extremely unfair if he created some dangerous Magecraft formation and quietly plotted to kill them?
"So, this is pretty good for now, so don't be so picky."
At this moment, Archer came out with fried pork with green peppers. He looked around at everyone present and found that almost everyone was there, so he said:
"Let's eat, we have to fight later."
After saying that, he put the fried meat with green pepper on the dining table.
Seeing this, everyone quickly picked up their chopsticks and prepared to replenish their energy for the day. After the fierce battle during the day, they were already feeling hungry.
However, the moment everyone took out their chopsticks.
"Boom!"
Abruptly, the huge stone smashed through the wall. It carried terrifying kinetic energy and hit the dining table hard. It immediately pressed the fragrant dishes and knocked down another wall.
"..."
Everyone present was stunned.
Although they had quickly dodged to the corner, the dishes that had just been prepared on that table were all destroyed, and even the dining table was shattered into pieces.
They haven't tasted a bite yet.
"... Excessive."
Ereshkigal's beautiful eyes widened angrily. She was still holding chopsticks in her hand, holding a piece of dusty fried meat, which looked obviously inedible.
She looked angrily in the direction where the stone was thrown, and saw through the hole in the wall not far away, a little lolita with silver hair and red eyes, standing on the wall.
Pointed at them, raised a middle finger.
This is a provocation!
Snap!
It sounded like something breaking.
Ereshkigal pinched the chopsticks in her hands, anger burning in her chest, stood up and walked towards the silver-haired loli without hesitation.
Seeing this, everyone followed him out.
"..."
Illya looked at the people walking out, put away her provocative middle finger, and immediately started to run away. She had been deeply attracted by hatred.
Next, even attract them to the destination.
Chapter 424: Men on both sides
So fast!
Ereshkigal was flying rapidly at low altitude, her golden divine eyes staring ahead. The silver-haired and red-eyed little loli who escaped had almost disappeared without a trace.
However, she can understand... After all, it is the child of Aozaki Touko. Even if converted to the age of gods... its essence is roughly similar to the demigod of 'Heracles'.
He possesses qualities that are difficult for ordinary people to possess.
"... Damn it, this is already an area that human muscle fibers cannot bear."
Shinji Matou Staring straight ahead, the running girl felt like her heart was about to explode, her breathing became difficult, her throat and lungs felt like they were burning, and she felt increasingly weak.
Now she was already thinking... or just give up.
To be honest, if I keep chasing... I don't know when it will end. However, when I think about my special ability, I feel that I can forcefully continue.
Although it feels uncomfortable to run now... it has little impact on the actual state.
"Master, do you need... me to carry you behind your back?"
At this moment, Rider came close to Shinji Matou, raised his hand and put it on Shinji's shoulder, and said with a smile, "As Master, Servant, I feel really guilty seeing you working so hard."
"I'll... carry it!"
On the side, Archer suddenly spoke loudly, and also came close to Shinji Matou, putting his hand on Shinji's other shoulder, with an undeniable sense of toughness.
Although I don't know why, it seems... he doesn't want to let Shinji be carried by others.
"..."
Shinji Matou didn't speak. The men on the left and right looked at each other, then silently quickened their pace, leaving the two Heroic Spirit beside them, not intending to say anything more.
No, to be more precise... I don't have the energy to deal with this.
Although it is a bit strange, it is necessary to explain that Shinji Matou, who 'draws his sword' and becomes a woman, is an undoubted beauty.
Even if it is placed in school... it can still compete with Tohsaka Rin for the title of school belle.
Sometimes, she will appear in the public eye as a woman for some Magecraft reasons, so naturally she cannot avoid some harassment.
She was accustomed to these situations and had no special feelings.
"Archer... you are not my Master's Servant, and compared to me as Rider... you don't have any more advantages."
The blue-haired man Heroic Spirit looked at the vigilant Archer and said, "Or... you have some special connection with my Master, so you stopped me from carrying the Master?"
His eyes revealed a meaningful and uninterrupted look of irritation, and more importantly, a joyful feeling, as if seeing Archer being suffocated and unable to speak made him feel... very happy.
"..."
Archer glanced at Shinji's still broken sword, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He knew... how powerful words sometimes are, and a short sentence... can change a person's destiny.
So, silence is golden... it's not just a lie.
"Heh..."
The blue-haired male Heroic Spirit pursed his lips and smiled, speeding up his pace slightly to catch up with Shinji, and said, "Master, you need to reserve your strength for the next battle... let alone a girl like you."
"..."
Shinji Matou still didn't speak, and kept running at the same pace as his breathing. However, his beautiful sapphire eyes glanced at Emiya Shirou who was running aside, and after a moment's thought, he was about to refuse.
Although according to common sense... being carried by Heroic Spirit on her back does save energy, but with her special ability, she does not need to think too much about this issue.
When it comes time to fight... the situation will still remain stable.
Moreover, treating her as a weak and weak woman is simply an insult to her. Although she looks like a girl now, she is still a pure and determined macho in her heart.
Therefore, there is no need to be...
"Why don't you let...Shirou carry it?"
Archer suddenly spoke. He stared at Emiya Shirou running aside, and said, "You two have such a good relationship, and... Shirou you are still a strong man, you are more than enough to carry a girl."
"Ah... I'll come?"
Emiya Shirou's eyes widened in surprise. Although he and his adoptive father had learned the enhanced Magecraft, this did not mean that he could easily carry a girl on his back and run wildly.
Moreover, Shinji actually... has always had good physical strength.
"Tsk... didn't you say you wanted to protect Shinji?"
Archer looked at him with some disgust. "Why... at the critical moment, Master, are you going to die, so you want to protect... your own important things."
His words were full of warning, as if he hated iron.
Upon hearing this, the running Shinji Matou's eyes glanced to the side Shirou. Those blue eyes were as deep as a bottomless lake, as if all his emotions had been restrained.
She didn't express disgust, nor did she express joy.
"... Okay, I'll do it!"
Emiya Shirou noticed Shinji's gaze, gritted his teeth and ran to Shinji's side, saying in a low voice, "I have learned Reinforcement Magecraft during this period... Shinji is still very physically strong!"
"... Are you an idiot?"
Shinji Matou couldn't help but say something, but surprisingly he didn't refuse. He jumped behind Emiya Shirou as if in acquiescence, and then began to slow down his breathing to regain his strength.
Although she could keep running on her own, if she kept refusing, it might make people doubt her trump card, so it would be better to be carried by Shirou... and take the opportunity to recover her strength.
Moreover, the destination is... close.
Even if Shirou runs with her on his back... it won't take much time.
Naturally... it doesn't consume much energy.
"... Oh, the feelings are so good."
On the side, Tohsaka Sakura witnessed the whole scene. She couldn't help but touch her cheek with her delicate hands, showing a gentle smile. She was very impressed by the twisted yet pure feelings of... Shirou and Shinji.
I even prayed in my heart... It would be great if Shinji had always been a girl.
"It's a good relationship, it's just pure emotion at first sight."
In the front, Ereshkigal, who was leading the race, turned around and said in agreement, "Even if the gods... read everything in the world, it would be difficult to find such a wonderful relationship like yours."
She spoke so braggingly, expressing her approval from the perspective of a god.
Although she basically stays in the underworld, as long as she doesn't speak out, basically... no one will doubt the power of God.
Not to mention, gods... this kind of existence cannot be viewed with common sense.
"... Yeah, I don't feel much."
Emiya Shirou raised his head and smiled at Ereshkigal in front of him, and immediately concentrated on running with Shinji on his back. He didn't want to talk much now. It would be easier if he dispersed his energy and felt his delicate body fully attached to him behind him, as well as the faint and alluring body fragrance.
So, let's just focus on running.
However, it's strange that he doesn't feel tired now. It seems that his body is full of energy. Even if he has to bear one more person, he will feel more relaxed.
Chapter 425: Wait for me to inherit the family business
Mount Enzou.
Before climbing the long stairs to Ryuudou Temple.
Illya's little face had a vigilant expression, and his delicate hands held Magic Staff tightly in front of him to protect him, although he could reach the predetermined trap if he took one step forward.
However, before that can happen, a problem must be solved.
"... Hmph, Illya, why don't you run away."
Ereshkigal looked at Illya not far away, and moved his golden hair beside his ears with his delicate hands. "Naughty children must be taught a lesson for doing such things... You should be able to guess what will happen next."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present cast malicious glances at Illya. Although there was no so-called murderous intention, they were probably afraid of not being able to escape after being beaten.
"Hey... I have something to say before that."
