Chapter 777
Projection it here is both a provocation to Black Illya and a confirmation of her identity.
"Hehe, I see..."
The mysterious girl curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
She ignored Illya, who had lost her will to fight, and instead faced Shirou Amamiya directly.
"Brother, how could you bear to hurt me?" Black Illya asked with a teasing expression.
Shirou replied firmly, "If you still intend to hurt Illya!"
"Hehe..."
Black Illya revealed a confident and radiant smile.
Then—she deactivated the Projection in her hand and approached step by step without any warning.
"Then let's give it a try, brother."
Black Illya's eyes were filled with certainty.
"I bet you can't lay a hand on me."
"Ugh!"
Shirou gripped the "Kanshou and Bakuya" swords tightly in his hand and stood motionless.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"Amamiya -san, what are you doing? Why aren't you attacking!?"
"Shirou, this is a golden opportunity! Take her down!"
"Mr. Shirou..."
"Elder brother..."
Miyu and Illya (the real person) watched quietly as things unfolded.
Black Illya walked unarmed toward Shirou.
Her intentions were quite malicious.
She planned to take the Kanshou and Bakuya from Shirou, and then use these two swords, made by her brother, against Illya—
"..."
Shirou's expression was tense, unable to make any movement, and he could only watch helplessly as she approached step by step.
He lowered his head and clenched his teeth.
"I guess I still... can't do it..."
Hearing Shirou say that, Black Illya happily declared her victory, "Hehehe, I'm so happy, brother...?"
Shirou smiled as well, "... Is that what you think?"
"... ha?"
Suddenly, Black Illya's body plummeted, half of it sinking into the ground.
"Yay! Hey hey hey hey hey hey--!"
Seeing this, Rin and Luvia shouted victoriously as they tore off their restraints.
Although it was insignificant, it was certainly not a sound a girl should make, Shirou thought.
That's right, it's also part of the operation.
With Shirou acting as bait, it's not just about the initial teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu doll).
His goal was to lure Black Illya to this place.
Here is--
The mimicry barrier was dispelled, and the surrounding land returned to its original state, turning into a swamp.
"A bottomless swamp...!?!?"
Black Illya lower body was buried in the ground, cried out in alarm.
That's right, this is the bottomless swamp where Rin and Luvia fell in a few days ago.
This was the last resort when everyone had truly run out of options.
"You've mistaken the swamp for the ground, haven't you! But this kind of thing can, very soon, trace... on."
Black Illya certainly wouldn't give up so easily.
She thought it was just a swamp, there must be a way to solve it, and concentrated her magic in her right hand.
"Huh!? Why... can't I Projection...!"
However, Black Illya was unable to Projection her Noble Phantasm again.
Her panicked expression was immediately overshadowed by the Shadow cast by Rin and Luvia.
"The Projection Magic similar to Amamiya's can't be used anymore, right?"
"Even if you want to do something, it will all be in vain."
"The reason is that this swamp is a 'swamp of perfect order' formed by mixing all the properties of the Five Great Elements in an inactive state!"
In the final mud where "nothing can become anything," all Magecraft cannot be activated! Your Magecraft, of course, is also powerless!
Black Illya gritted her teeth upon hearing these words, her cheeks flushing red.
A mysterious girl, unable to escape or resist, stares at Rin and Luvia.
They looked very happy to see this.
"You might think this is just a silly trap, but the moment you fall into it, your defeat is sealed."
"That's right, stupid... Hehehehe~"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Rin and Luvia, beaming with pride, concluded with this statement.
They looked very smug, and then...
"Oh--hehehehehehe! Foolish! So incredibly foolish--!"
"I don't even know how to react when people still fall into this trap—hahahaha!"
Big laugh.
The two women laughed until tears streamed down their faces, seemingly having completely forgotten that they had made the same embarrassing mistake a few days earlier.
Rin: "Hey, what are you going to do? While you're dawdling, you're already sinking deeper and deeper!"
Black Illya: "Wa ...
Luvia: "Oh dear, this child is crying, how pitiful~ He's practically a stray dog~"
These people... how could they say such things to a child who was unable to resist and was gradually sinking into the swamp?
Shirou thought to himself, "These people are hopeless."
Illya Miyu stared at them, utterly dumbfounded.
"Wa..."
Under Rin and Luvia's continued instigation and ridicule, Black Illya burst into tears.
Finally, Shirou made her promise not to harm Illya again and rescued her from the swamp.
And so, the operation to capture Black Illya was successfully completed.
Shirou sighed: Although we seem to be the bad guys...
Volume 10: Chapter 467 Shirou, recalls everything
Shirou and his group successfully captured the crying Black Illya and quickly began the interrogation.
After that, the group moved to the temporary place used to house Black Illya —the basement of the Edelfelt Mansion.
In the dark basement, a brown-skinned girl was bound hand and foot to a cross, and her magic was sealed with her formal attire.
Seeing the elementary school student who looked just like his sister being restrained in front of him, Shirou felt conflicted, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, she had her sights set on Illya's life.
"... No matter what, isn't this treatment a bit too much?"
Black Illya sighed.
The others ignored her.
Rin Tohsaka reminded Shirou not to have excessive sympathy for the child, but to think more about his sister's safety.
Shirou: "I understand even if you don't say it."
Rin: "Do you really understand?"
Shirou: "... Hmm."
"Why... why are you so hesitant in your answer, brother!?"
Illya shook Shirou's arm anxiously.
"Really, even if it didn't go that far, I wouldn't harm you."
The mysterious girl sighed at everyone's attitude, then said with a flippant expression, "Except for Illya ~"
"That's the problem!"
Illya slammed her hand on the table, her expression filled with excitement.
That's the key point.
After the previous battles, everyone was certain that Black Illya was not an insurmountable enemy like the Corrupted Heroic Spirit. So why was she targeting Illya's life?
"Alright, let's begin the interrogation. Let me make this clear first: you do not have the right to remain silent or call a lawyer."
Rin Tohsaka sat down at the table, her hands clasped together, supporting her chin, while Luvia stood behind her with her arms crossed.
The aura and oppressive presence emanating from the two at this moment were no less than that of the wrathful Vajras in a temple.
Shirou couldn't help but speak up, "Hey, Tohsaka... couldn't you have asked me in a gentler way? The other person is still a child."
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. This child is far too dangerous."
She does indeed look like a child, but she is a child who can freely use the power of Heroic Spirit.
It's like a little kid holding a rocket launcher, and the muzzle of that rocket launcher is pointed right at your precious little sister.
Rin Tohsaka said this, she narrowed her eyes and turned to the Black Illya.
"Amamiya- kun is very biased towards you. If you don't want him to continue to bother you, you'd better be honest and tell us the truth."
"That's true. My brother has already spoken up for me, and I don't want to embarrass him too much..."
I will answer anything I can.
Black Illya dropped her flirtatious smile and nodded obediently.
First, could you tell us your name?
"Name? Is that even a question? Illya Illyasviel Einzbern."
Black Illya answered very decisively.
She acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, which made Illya puff out her cheeks in anger, while Rin sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"I mean... can you tell me the truth?"
"How rude of me. I'm telling the truth. I swear on my brother's behalf, I'm not lying."
When a girl suddenly swore an oath in his own name, Shirou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Rin raised an eyebrow. "Fine, let's continue... What's your purpose?"
"Well, let's just kill Illya."
"Then why don't you just strangle yourself?"
