Shirou's Grand Heroic Saga

"I have a treasure for you too," Gilgamesh said viciously.

Shirou simply untied all the ropes binding Rider. He happily watched the two argue while munching on sunflower seeds.

"Assassin, what exactly are you doing? And shouldn't we be running right now?" Rider trembled as she looked at
