"Riding Hero's Bridle... huh?"
Berserker ran like a Western reporter—no, a Hong Kong reporter—only even faster. Even Sakura atop Pegasus had trouble locking onto Berserker.
"Rank A Agility is seriously terrifying." Shirou opened his mouth in amazement. If only he had such high-level Agility; at least then he could run and fight, keeping the initiative in his own hands. "Are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine." Beatrice shook her head, watching Shirou warily.
But Shirou paid it no mind and walked toward Sakura. He owed Sakura today; after projecting God Slayer of Hundred Beasts and repeatedly using Imaginary Numbers, his magical energy was nearly exhausted.
If he did not catch his breath soon, he would work himself to death today.
"Senpai, I'm sorry. I let the enemy get away." Sakura lowered her head and spoke awkwardly. "I wanted to show Senpai my heroic side, too."
"Sakura did great. If we had kept fighting, I doubt my magical energy would have held out." Shirou did not mind, then turned a fierce glare toward Lancer.
"As for you, Lancer. You didn't pull any tricks, did you?" Shirou examined him carefully. Once he confirmed there were no problems, he finally relaxed.
"Huh? Hehehe, looks like the boy's heart is starting to stir too?"
Shirou pretended not to hear.
Tonight had really been exhausting...
Why not have a late-night snack?
"What are we having for a late-night snack?" Lancer asked in confusion, though his hands never stopped moving.
The PS4, a game console invented by humanity, suited Lancer's tastes perfectly.
"I don't know. So creations of technology can be this entertaining? Ah-ha? This is really fun." Beatrice inexplicably blushed, her hands still moving.
"Hmph, girl, you're not bad."
"I didn't expect you to be pretty good too, Blue Lancer! Damn it, I lost! If you've got the guts, fight me in real life!"
"A bet's a bet. If you want a fight, then let's fight!"
Shirou silently watched them play on the console, then square up as though they were about to fight. He had even completed a Limited Expansion—Include.
This fully proved that they had been exercising restraint.
But if they actually fought, his house would get wrecked!
As the saying went, either die in silence, or Stella in silence.
Stella!
"Sorry! We were wrong!" Lancer and Beatrice sat properly, their heads slightly lowered.
"You eat my food, live in my house, play with my things, and now you want to wreck my home too, you two!" Twin blades appeared in Shirou's hands. "Getting to play the PS4 I projected before you die is enough for you to rest in peace with a smile!"
"I didn't eat anything." Beatrice weakly raised her hand.
"But playing and staying here are enough." Shirou rapped both of them on the head.
"Do you know what you did wrong?"
"We do... Can you keep projecting the PS4?" Lancer asked hopefully. "Is the save file still there?"
