The needle that usually only shook slightly was now spinning rapidly.

This was the first time she had seen this phenomenon.

The pointer behaved like a small animal, causing Rin's heart to cast a shadow.

But just standing was not the answer. Rin started to walk forward and tried to walk some distance to see if the magic pointer would point in a new direction.

"Such a deserted street... There used to be people at times like this.……"

Rin felt a little scared by the silence of the street at the moment. In an absolutely quiet and dark street, just the slightest movement could scare Rin so much that his heartbeat would speed up.

"Is it because of the curfew order?……"

Rin thought of the reports he had seen before.

Fuyuki City has recently issued a curfew due to recent murders and abductions.

"——Ah, sure enough."

The red police lights lit up in front of her, and Rin hid in the shadow of a building in fear. The patrol car drove slowly to look for any citizens walking alone on the street.

If they saw themselves, the police would definitely not Just let it go. Otherwise

, she wouldn't be able to save Kotone.

As the lights gradually faded away, Rin could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the front, which was the sound of a can being kicked away.

Rin was frightened. When she was about to scream, a hand reached out from her slender neck and covered her lips that were about to open.

"Woo woo woo————?"

The moment she was hugged tightly from behind and her mouth was covered, Rin was immediately frightened and started to resist crazily.

"Don't scream, I'm not a bad person."

The girl who heard this became quiet, but was still trembling nervously.

Shirou grabbed Rin's shoulders and turned her around.

"I am a student at the same school as you, my name is Fujimaru Shirou."

She has red hair, brown pupils, a delicate face, and is slightly taller than Rin.

When she saw Shirou, Rin immediately widened her eyes and exclaimed in a low voice.

"You're the one following me……!"

"?"

A question mark appeared on Shirou's head.

Suddenly, I understood why the girl who was walking well at that time chose to leave in the car.

But that doesn't matter, as long as everyone is fine in the end.

Shirou didn't think too much and let the page turn in his mind.

"I just happened to follow the same path as you. By the way, what's your name?"

Shirou explained casually and then asked.

He was stunned when he was suddenly asked his name. He looked back at the front of the street where the noise came from. After finding no one, he answered with red cheeks.

"My name is...Rin...Tohsaka Rin……"

"Well, good evening, Rin."

Shirou nodded, and then asked directly

"So, why do you appear here in the middle of the night?"

Being called by his first name, Rin felt his little face heat up.

"I……"

Although Rin wanted to tell her that she was here to save her good friend Kotone, she hesitated.

Because this incident was dangerous, Rin could feel that it was dangerous. As an excellent magician (self-confessed), Rin naturally came here after being prepared, but Fujimaru Shirou was different. A chance encounter could not explain it. What.

Just as Rin was hesitating, Shirou suddenly spoke:

"I said, could it be because of the murderer who appeared nearby recently? Do you want to save people?"

Hearing this, Rin, who was still deep in thought, suddenly opened his blue eyes, full of surprise.

"You, how do you know————"

"Don't worry about how I know it. In short, you are going to save people now, right?"

Shirou didn't give Rin a chance to ask questions and continued to ask.

"……Um."

Rin was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Since the other party already knew, he had nothing to hide. Rin then took off the magic pointer hanging from his neck.

"This pointer will lead me to the place where strong magic is emitted."

Rin said while staring at the pointer pointing to the street ahead.

"If there is any exception, this is the most useful."

Her expression looked very calm, but it always gave people the feeling that she was pretending to be an adult.

Her slender legs covered with high-quality black knee-high socks that reflected luster under the streetlight were twisting uneasily.

"Going that way?"

Shirou asked, looking at the pointer in Rin's hand.

"Eh?"Hearing Shirou's words, Rin was stunned.

"Do you want to come too?"

"certainly."

Shirou's answer made Rin feel very complicated for a moment. He was 30% surprised, 50% surprised, and 20% nervous.

"Now, in that case, I allow you to come with me, but please follow me closely."

I have to take responsibility to protect Fujimaru-san. Rin, who considers himself an excellent magician, thought in his heart.

"Then, let's go!"

Rin, who felt his cheeks getting slightly hot as Shirou stared at him, quickly turned around and looked forward.

After following the pointer for about ten minutes, they came to a house where the corridor stretched out. They walked along the stained stairs below. , there was immediately an unpleasant smell that made people smell bad.

In addition to the smell of mold and spoilage, there was also a strong smell of blood.

Shirou couldn't help but frown.

That murderer was also a kidnapper, no? Knowing how many people have been killed.

Not only the old enemy who was killed, but also after thinking about how many children died in single digits in his hands, Shirou had murderous intentions. Rin, who was walking beside him, lowered his head and looked He glanced at the magic pointer in his hand, and then took a breath of cold air.

"stopped……!"

The pointer remained motionless, pointing to the depths of the deep, dark corridor below the stairs, as if frozen.

There is something there that is releasing a strange magic power.

There is no doubt that this is the hiding place of Ryunosuke Uyu.

"This is it."

Shirou looked at the deep darkness ahead.

Shirou, who was about to move forward, suddenly realized that Rin had not followed, and immediately looked back. He saw Rin, whose face was pale, standing there and shaking slightly.

Even after confirming the position , but she was also afraid in her heart. The adult appearance she had pretended to be was shattered by the terrifying reality at this moment.

She was afraid that there were clues to Qin Yin here, and she was even more afraid that what she saw was Qin Yin's body.

"don't want……"

There seemed to be the breathing of something deep in the dark corridor, as if there was an indescribable horror waiting for him.

Rin finally realized that this journey of exploration that he thought he was going to save his best friend could not be completed with determination.

It’s neither children’s play nor a show.
