[On the screen, the real Assassin exclaimed: "How amazing! The body before that was also borrowed."]

["You saw it, Assassin, that's right. The old body died a long time ago. I am just an old man parasitizing on an already formed body. I can't appear under the sun like other people."]

[Matou Zouken smiled and walked out of the dead end. 】

[“So, it doesn’t matter what the body is, you just need one person’s worth of material, and then you make the material into the shape you like. After all, it’s a collection of insects, and the functions of humans are also operated by insects. Isn’t this mimicry~?”]

[“Hehe, Assassin has become talkative after just one day. Looking at your expression, have you thought of your own wish?”]

[“Of course, we can only be summoned by summoners with the same wish. The magician’s desire for immortality summoned this body of mine, so my wish is only eternity, but.-...."]

[The real Assassin suddenly moved in front of Matou Zouken. 】

["I have some questions. Master Magician, you are already immortal, and you have lived for five hundred years. So, hasn't your wish come true?"]

["Oh~ Hehe, hehe~"]

[Matou Zouken's shoulders shook with laughter. ]

["Ah, I am not immortal, Assassin. My body will decay. No matter how many times I get fresh materials, it will decay. No matter what I do, it will decay. The moment I get new materials, I start to decay. Although I am alive, I will decay continuously. This unpleasantness and humiliation - the despair of accepting the inhuman insect, I will not be able to make you understand even if I tell you."]

["Why does it decay? Is it because the insects can't make a perfect body?"]

["Hehe, not that time As long as the bugs are alive, decay is no problem. I was originally worried about my old body becoming a parasite, so I have to be prepared. The way I live forever is to live on humans. I chose this as a way to prolong my life. "】

【"I can't understand it anymore. You originally chose to maintain your body completely. Then why do you look like an old man on the outside, and your flesh is as plastic as clay? Why doesn't your appearance change?" Assassin in the skull mask was puzzled.】

【"Good question. Then I ask you, if you lose your original body, how can you restore your body by your own strength? Don't you think your body will return to its original form?"】

【"The body has its own records. Even if you cut off or peel off the muscles, it will return to its previous appearance because it has its own genetic design."】

【"That's right." Matou ZouYan nodded: "That is the composition diagram recorded by the gene, but my situation is different. The body that constitutes me and records the gene has also disappeared. It is impossible to restore the body with the original design. What do you think the original form you remember is?"]

["I see."]

[Assassin blushed. If he lost everything on the outside, then only the inner layer, that is, the soul, would remain. 】

[“Only using one’s own soul to live, absorbing one from them, this is the real reason why the magician is immortal, so he can’t take other forms. The magician relies on his soul, not his body, to survive. Therefore, Matou Zouken can’t take any form other than his soul, right?”]

[“Of course, I don’t use the old man’s body because I like it, but I can only take this form, and it’s a terrible thing that will rot if it is not replaced regularly. I used to be able to move for more than 50 years after replacing it once, but now I have to replace it every few months. Who can understand my pain...” Matou Zouken sighed: “So, Assassin, don’t Calling this thing immortal again."]

["I understand! That is, it is not the body that is decaying, but the soul. Um... So you are pursuing the Holy Grail?"]

["Huh, yes, I don't want to die yet, I want to continue to live. I am terrified when I think of disappearing from the world! I have lived for hundreds of years to escape death, and I have eaten thousands of bodies to escape from the body! Can you understand, Assassin, I hate this body that was transformed from a bug, I hate that I am the only one decaying, and I hate the humans who naturally have normal bodies!"]

[Assassin lowered his head quietly, staring at the old man who was oozing with decay. 】

[“Hundreds of years of delusion, I cannot understand...but...”]

[“But, Master Magician, you are very suitable to be my Master.”]

[The real Assassin slowly knelt down. 】

"【Tosaka Rin】: Crazy! This old bug has eaten thousands of people!"

"【Gilgamesh】: What's so surprising? Humans are such filthy creatures, and you magicians are even more so."

"【Von Hohenheim Paracelsus】: Time passes, and the world changes. Old friend, I can't believe that you, who once had the same lofty ambitions, have fallen to this point."

"【Da Vinci】: Machiri...you.../sigh"

"【Kotomine Kirei】: This is the secret of your immortality."

【A new day begins, and the sun shines brightly outside the window, completely different from yesterday. 】

【"Well...good!"】

【Shirou gets up and stretches, feeling his bodysituation, recalling the last memory of last night. 】

["It was Saber who helped me back and let me lie down... I have to thank her very much."]

[After changing clothes, I walked into the living room. 】

[Matou Sakura had already prepared breakfast and wiped the table clean, but Matou Sakura was carrying her schoolbag and preparing to go out. 】

["Senior."]

["Sakura? You've prepared breakfast."]

["Ah, yes. Since I had time, I made breakfast for you and Miss Saber."]

["That's for me and Saber, what about Sakura?"]

["Well, I don't need it. It's okay. I have to go to school first, so I'll have breakfast with you two."]

[Shirou didn't know that Matou Sakura blamed Altria for seeing him injured last night. He looked at Matou Sakura in confusion and said, "Sakura, what's wrong with you? You made breakfast for us, but you didn't eat it yourself. Isn't that strange? Could it be that something happened yesterday?"]

[Shirou frowned and thought, "Hmm... I remember that Sakura and Saber seemed to have said something at that time. Although I don't remember it clearly, did anything happen at that time?"]

[Matou Sakura shrugged her shoulders and lowered her head, "I said something too much. . Seeing the senior being hurt, I unconsciously got angry. "]

["You said something too much, to Saber?"]

["Yes, but, in fact, I am not qualified to say that to Miss Saber. It's as if Miss Saber is the only bad person, so I don't have the face to face Miss Saber today..."]

[Matou Sakura bowed guiltily: "Senior, I'm sorry. After that, I immediately realized my mistake and apologized to Miss Saber. However, Miss Saber also apologized to me. It's all my fault because I was too careless."]

[Shirou looked at Matou Sakura, his eyes softened: "Really, you two are idiots. The most wrong person is me who is injured. Sakura, Saber, please don't quarrel about that kind of thing."]

["But, senior, I was..." Matou Sakura still looked guilty. 】(To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

【Shirou smiled and motioned Matou Sakura to rest assured, and said confidently: "Okay, actually, as for Saber, let me tell you this, if the other party is wrong, she will never give in, so if Sakura's words are unreasonable, she will definitely fight back, but she apologizes to you, which means she admits that what Sakura said is correct. Although Saber didn't say it, she likes Sakura very much. Basically, she values ​​people who work hard!"】

【Hearing what Shirou said, Matou Sakura also eased a little: "Yes. But, I'm still sorry, although Miss Saber won't be angry, she won't scold me well., I won't forgive myself!"]

["Well, since Sakura said so, I can't stop you by force, but, what are you doing at school so early? Aren't morning exercises prohibited?"]

["It's okay, I'm just cleaning the archery dojo. Because I said that to Miss Saber, I'm punishing myself by wiping the floor of the archery dojo with a rag!"]

[Matou Sakura seemed to be ready to face the punishment she gave herself. Her expression was firm. After saying it again, she left the room.]

[Shirou watched Matou Sakura leave, and couldn't help but wonder what Matou Sakura and Saber had said...]

[Altria soon left the room and sat at the table with Shirou.]

[After listening to Shirou's reason for Sakura's absence, Altria was surprised and said, "You mean, I had a quarrel with Sakura?"]

["Huh? Isn't it? Because Sakura said that she said something too much to Saber. ”】[]

【“Hearing what you said, it is true that it is possible to think so, but because Sakura is right, it is not so much a quarrel as it is noticing my shortcomings.”】

【Altria showed a thoughtful expression, but her hands did not stop moving. She ate, picked up dishes, and thought at the same time.】

【“I’m sorry for saying something strange. Because I saw that Sakura was so concerned, I also became concerned. If it’s not a big deal, forget it.” Shirou looked at Altria and explained.】

【“Mmm, it’s Shirou and Sakura who are worried about each other.”】

【Shirou saw that Altria was eating very happily, and his appetite was also a little opened: “But, what did Sakura say? Ordinary things can’t make her so depressed. Can you tell me, Saber? ”】

[Altria paused while eating: "Well, that's just that I am not capable enough as a Servant. To put it simply, I am not mature enough to protect Shirou."】

["Saber has done her best. It was my own mistake that caused me to fall last night. Saber should not be the one to worry."】

["That's right. In short, Sakura's advice is correct. The problem is that I can't agree with it. No matter what Sakura says, I will go to the battlefield with you as a Master. "Altria looked away in embarrassment.]

[Her purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was to win the Holy Grail, so that her Master, Shirou, would give it up. So what should she do?]

[The two fell silent, and the TV began to broadcast the morning news. Someone fainted last night. So far, a total of 30 citizens have fallen into a coma.]

[After breakfast, Shirou washed the dishes and prepared to go to school.]

[Going to school now is actually to meet with Rin Toosaka, the shadow from last night, and Zouken Matou, Shirou felt that he had to have a good talk with Rin Toosaka. 】

【"Saber, I have something to tell you before I go to school." After washing the dishes, Shirou sat at the table and looked at Altria seriously. 】

【"Okay, what is it, Shirou?"】

【"It's about the future policy. Saber also saw that black shadow last night."】

【"Yes, no matter what kind of fantasy species it is, it doesn't fit. It's something I've never seen before." Fear flashed in Altria's eyes. 】

[“Well, I still can’t tell what that shadow is. I only know that the guy’s actions are our enemy. Although it’s hard to tell whether he is a Master or a Servant, he is trying to snipe me and Tōsaka, and collecting magic power from the people in the town, so…”]

[Altria swallowed a breath and said reluctantly: “For now, we should prioritize searching for that shadow, right? We should put Masters and Servants aside and treat things that have nothing to do with us as opponents?”]

[“Well, we can’t just leave that shadow alone. I think this should be a higher priority than the Holy Grail War.”]

[Altria looked at Shirou in silence, and nodded after a moment: “Well, let’s do as Shirou said, although I don’t want to be involved with that shadow at all.”]

[“Saber? Then, is it really okay?” Shirou was a little moved. After all, the contract between him and Altria was based on winning the Holy Grail. 】

["Whether you agree or not, if I refuse, Shirou, you will act alone even if you are alone. If I cannot protect you when that happens, it would be putting the cart before the horse. If you die, I can no longer stay in this world. So even if I object, I still have to follow Shirou's policy in the end."]

["You are right." Shirou scratched his head. ]

[Altria looked worried: "Besides, if I leave you alone, you will definitely do something rash like last night. Last night was the second time, so there will definitely be a third time. If I let that happen, I will have to apologize to Sakura again."]

["Then!"]

[Altria said solemnly: "I have no choice but to obey the Master's orders. This is Shirou's judgment. I can only be your sword!"]

[Meeting Altria's eyes, Shirou smiled gently. 】

【After saying goodbye, Shirou went to school. 士】.
